Chapter 118: Sixty Million Is Nothing?

ps: After writing another chapter, I will send another chapter!

Continue to ask for a monthly pass!!

After Avril found out that she was pregnant, she has been considering temporarily retiring from the music scene.

Because she can't go all over the world to record records, hold concerts, perform various commercial performances, and attend commercial events.

She asked Chang Sheng's opinion.

Chang Sheng asked her: "Are you not afraid that your popularity will be lost because of this?" ”

Avril shook her head: "Popularity can be gathered back, this child is more important than popularity now." ”

Chang Sheng saw that Avril was so resolute, so he naturally wouldn't object.

Because in fact, in his heart, he also hopes that Avril will quit the music scene.

After the two sides discussed, Avril communicated with her record company, and proposed that she would like to take a break for a year to a year and a half, not to make new records, and not to participate in any performances, whether it is a solo concert or that kind of commercial performance, and will not show her face to participate in commercial activities.

But Avril's request made it difficult for the record company.

They allowed Avril to refrain from commercial performances or concerts, but they didn't want to delay the production of a new record.

After all, they have previously released rumors that at the end of this year, Avril Lavigne's new record will be released.

Hundreds of millions of Avril fans around the world have been waiting for it, but now it is going to be postponed for a year to a year and a half, who can stand it?

Preparations for the production of the new record have already begun, and the producers and arrangers ...... People from all sides have been invited, and now Avril says it's going to be postponed?

This is not a one-in-one loss.

And they don't accept Avril's request that she want not to participate in commercial activities.

Because for a star, in addition to releasing a new record, attending various commercial events is also a good way to maintain popularity.

If you don't participate in any commercial activities for a year to a year and a half, you will completely disappear from public view.

The impact on popularity is enormous.

The company spent so much money promoting Avril Lavril, and they weren't a charity. In order to satisfy Avril's musical dreams, he is willing to lose money.

They also hope to make money from Avril.

Avril's popularity has suffered, but it is not her alone, it is also related to the company's profitability!

Avril Avril earned $12 million a year last year. The company has also benefited.

Such a big cash cow. How could the company be willing to let him rest for so long?

And the company thinks that Avril's pregnancy is actually a good hype gimmick, and participates in various business activities with a big belly. Isn't it a great topic to be exposed in public?

can attract the attention of the media and discuss with fans, Avril's popularity may rise instead of falling!

So they put forward their opinions. That is, the new album will continue to be produced, and commercial activities will also be participated, and of course, the company will make some choices at its discretion and abandon some inappropriate commercial activities.

But these were rejected by Avril without hesitation.

She just wants to enjoy the pregnancy process quietly at home, and she doesn't want to be disturbed by media reporters.

So continuing to expose is not what she wants.

The two sides had a dispute over this, and neither of them backed down.

So Avril told them. She will hold a press conference to the extreme, and whether the record company agrees or not, she will announce her decision to temporarily withdraw from the music scene.

Then Avril's agent, Cliff Fabry, called to persuade Avril.

Since Avril's debut, Fabry has always helped her take care of various matters, and he believes that he still has a high status in Avril's heart. Avril should listen to her own words.

But how do he know that Avril is not unhappy with his agent for a day or two.

So when Fabry told her in a condescending tone that this is not okay, that is not allowed, that you have to do this and only that, Avril erupted.

She had a heated argument with Fabry on the phone.

When Chang Sheng finished washing someone and was going to serve it to Avril Lavigne, he heard her yelling into the phone: "Don't talk to me in that tone, Cliff Fabry!" I'm not your slave! My success is the result of my own efforts, and it has nothing to do with you! Don't put on a domineering posture! ”

When Chang Sheng heard Avril Avril say such angry words, he immediately understood what it was.

He's furious!

Pregnant women must not be angry, pregnant women are like the empress, they have to be carefully cared for, for fear that she will be in a bad mood and affect the fetus.

I didn't expect her damn agent to dare to make Avril so angry and even swear words!

Chang Sheng snatched Avril's mobile phone directly from behind, and then said to the phone: "Now I officially inform you that whether you agree or not, my wife will temporarily bid farewell to the music world." For her who loves music, it is she who has lost the most, not you. ”

Cliff Fabry on the other end of the phone found that someone else was talking to him, and he was stunned for a moment at first, but Chang Sheng was also a celebrity, so he wouldn't ask such childish lines as "who the are you".

"I'm afraid you can't do this, we have a contract with Avril...... although the other party said politely, but the tone was very tough, and there was even some threat in it.

We have a contract with you, so you can't do whatever you want, or we'll sue you for breach of contract!

It's arrogant!

It seems like having a contract is great.

Damn, didn't you sign a contract for bullying Lao Tzu?

Whoever doesn't know that there is a contract has liquidated damages.

Avril watched her husband fight on the phone, and when he arrived, her mood gradually calmed down.

She also knows that the baby in her belly is more important.

She saw her husband suddenly look back at her and wink at her.

Then Chang Sheng turned back to the phone and said, "Ouch, I'm so scared!" You have a contract with Avril! ”

Avril, who knew her husband well, was amused by Chang Sheng's tone, and she knew that her husband was about to break again.

"Yes, we still have five years left on our contract with her, so I seriously advise you not to act irrationally, otherwise it will be very bad for your wife......"

Chang Sheng thought to himself, Avril Lavigne's scolding really made sense. This damn bastard has a fucking condescending posture and tone.

But...... No one has ever dared to speak to me in such a tone, and no one can, when I am a nobody. Now, it's even more impossible!

"Oh? Unfavourable? What's the disadvantage? He asked coldly.

The agent over there feels pretty good about himself. I didn't feel the difference in my tone before and after Chang Sheng.

"Although we don't want to do it. But...... Sometimes, we can use some means to make your wife disappear from public for a while, according to the contract......"

Chang Sheng interrupted the other party with a smile: "Huh." Isn't it just a ban? I often play this trick, picking up people's teeth and wisdom is too uncreative. ”

The other party finally felt Chang Sheng's malice, and he said with some annoyance: "This is not a good attitude for negotiation, Mr. Chang!" ”

"Who's going to negotiate with you? Stupid. Ask your company's lawyer to call Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu's wife wants to terminate the contract with you dogs! ”

After speaking, Chang Sheng hung up the phone, not even giving the other party a chance to continue talking.

Then he asked Avril, "What do you think of this idea?" ”

Avril smiled and said, "Great, uncle! ”

Soon, the phone rang again, Chang Sheng picked it up and looked at it, and the caller showed ......

"Nasty people?" Chang Sheng asked in surprise.

Who is this?

"My agent." Avril smirked.

So Chang Sheng also laughed.

At the same time he picked up the phone.

"You can't cancel the contract at will! We have a high penalty for the contract! "Just picked it up. Chang Sheng heard Cliff Fabry's angry voice.

"High? How tall is that? Chang Sheng asked in a lazy tone.

"Sixty million! Dollar! If you want to terminate the contract, you will have to pay the company 60 million dollars! ”

Avril only made $12 million last year, and $60 million she needs to maintain such popularity, not eat or drink, and work for the company for five years to make that much money. For the average entertainer. The money is really sky-high.

But as far as Chang Sheng is concerned, it is not a sky-high price. He helped Lazio sell players last summer for three times that amount, and he really didn't have $60 million in his eyes!

Chang Sheng was amused.

"I thought it was 600 million, and 60 million dollars is a thing? Again, ask your lawyer to call me, and let's talk about termination. 60 million dollars, a lot of money for you, that's how much you have to offer! ”

With Chang Sheng's current net worth, it is no problem to come up with $60 million at once.

The investment company that Kate Gracie managed for him was doing well and making a lot of money.

In addition, he has a stake in Google, which is a huge amount of money.

When he needs money, he just needs to go out and plan to sell his original shares of Google, and naturally many financial predators will contact him and ask for Google shares in his hands.

Sixty million dollars for Cliff Fabry is really useless.

Hanging up the phone again, Chang Sheng said to Avril: "Do you think we should open a record company and play by ourselves?" ”

※※※

Chang Sheng is willing to pay to terminate the contract, and the record company has no way at all. Because of the provisions of the contract, as long as Avril compensates the record company for 60 million liquidated damages, the contract can be terminated.

So after Chang Sheng sent the money, the record company could only sign a termination agreement with Avril.

Subsequently, Avril was finally able to follow the opportunity to hold a press conference to announce her retirement from the music scene.

As for the reason for quitting the music scene, it is naturally because of ......

"I'm pregnant." At the press conference, in front of dozens of news outlets, Avril announced with a happy face.

Her husband Chang Sheng sat next to her, holding her hand throughout the press conference, which seemed quite sweet.

At the same time, it is also an expression of attitude - I support my wife's choice.

Her record label representative did not appear at the press conference.

As for why...... This is the second thing that happened at the press conference.

Then Avril announced that she had terminated her contract with the record company she had worked with for many years, and now she is a free agent.

Two pieces of news stunned the reporters present!
