"Xu Bo …"
Dong Yu softly repeated this ordinary name. Her heart was filled with a wonderful feeling.
Through Lu Chen's narration, the image of a wandering, unrestrained vagabond singer was clearly outlined in her mind.
Forty or fifty years old, still without a fixed residence, no savings, and no home. His beard was unshaven and his face was weathered and full of vicissitudes. Wearing a set of old rags, he held a guitar that was not worth 300 yuan and sang in the wind, "If one day I quietly leave, please bury me in this, In The Spring!"
All the doubts seemed to have been answered.
Sister Na sighed with emotion and said, "I really want to know this Xiao Lu. If there's a chance, invite him to the bar."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I don't know where he is now. I don't even have his phone number."
Qin Hanyang regretfully said, "What a pity!"
What a pity!
Dong Yu and Su Qingmei looked at each other. Dong Yu decisively said, "Blue Lotus, 200,000 yuan. We want the entire copyright. Of course, the authorship is still yours."
The price of 200,000 yuan for a song was really high. It reached the level of a big shot in the industry. For a newcomer, it was really inconceivable.
But Lu Chen's wisdom was that the condition he proposed was to buy out the entire copyright. This meant that the other benefits of the song would have nothing to do with him after the buyout. He wouldn't be able to enjoy the slightest bit of benefits.
A good song, especially a classic, was actually a small gold mine. As long as one was good at digging, there was a lot of wealth that could be created.
It could be used as the main theme of an album, or directly released as a single. It could be made into a ringtone for download, and at the same time, it could be used as a network authorization fee. If one was lucky enough to be chosen by a film company, it could be used as a theme song.
In addition, there were adaptations and covers. A powerful music and entertainment company could squeeze out the value of a song to the extreme!
The most important thing was the influence on the singer himself.
It was common in the past for a song to make a singer star, and it still exists now!
Lu Chen gave up these rights, so the price of 200,000 yuan became acceptable. It must be known that those big shots in the industry and many famous songwriters would ask for a share of the rights and retain part of the copyright.
He nodded and said, "This is what I want."
Of course, Lu Chen knew the importance of copyright, but for him, those long-term benefits were too vague. It was really unrealistic for a newcomer to share the cake of an entertainment media company.
There was no way that the shrewd "bespectacled girl" in front of him would agree to the terms of the split.
Therefore, it was enough for Lu Chen to ask for a high price. Moreover, through this deal, he had established his own reputation in the industry. If anyone wanted to buy songs from him, they would have to consider it carefully!
Thirty thousand or fifty thousand, you still have the nerve to take it out?
No matter how many good songs there were in Lu Chen's memory, he would not sell them at a low price. He would even ask for a share in the future!
Dong Yu acted very neatly. After finalizing the deal, she immediately called her company's lawyer and signed a formal contract on the spot.
After the signature was signed, 200,000 yuan was immediately transferred into Lu Chen's bank account.
Lu Chen borrowed a laptop from the other party, logged into the 《Greater China Music Library》 account, and transferred the copyright of 《Blue Lotus》 to Light Rain Media through the online platform, thus completing the entire transaction.
Although the fees for 《Greater China Music Library》 were black to the dogs, their service was very thorough. Even if it was Lu Chen's first time transferring copyright, it only took him a few minutes to complete.
This also made Dong Yu and the others look at him in a higher light. Very few newcomers were willing to spend money to register the copyright of 《Greater China Music Library》 because they couldn't guarantee that their works would be able to earn back the price they paid.
Lu Chen was bold and ambitious, but his thoughts were meticulous and meticulous. He considered all aspects.
This kind of young man had boundless prospects!
"It was a pleasure working with you!"
Dong Yu stood up and extended her hand towards Lu Chen, "In the future, if you have any good songs, please consider Light Rain Media!"
Lu Chen shook her hand and smiled, "It was a pleasure working with you. Light Rain Media is a company with strength and courage. I look forward to working with you again."
Saying nice words didn't cost anything, so Lu Chen was naturally willing to form a good relationship with the other party.
In the entertainment circle, connections were very important.
Thus, he pretended not to see Su Qingmei rolling her eyes at him.
Among the people present, the happiest was Gan Kai. With this 《Blue Lotus》, in addition to the two original works of famous artists, producing an album wasn't just a dream.
For the countless singers and bands in Beijing, producing an album was probably their lifelong dream!
Thus, he also stood up and expressed his goodwill towards Lu Chen.
The atmosphere was very harmonious. Chang Wei held a glass of champagne and smiled at ChenJianhao, "Old Chen, we're done talking. Now it's your turn. We contributed so much, how much of In The Spring are you going to give to Xiao Lu?"
Originally, this matter was between Lu Chen and ChenJianhao and didn't need to be discussed here.
However, Chang Wei had a grudge against ChenJianhao. If it wasn't for ChenJianhao expressing his support for Lu Chen and giving Lu Chen enough confidence, then Light Rain Media could have gotten both songs, or they wouldn't have had to pay such a high price to buy 《Blue Lotus》.
Chang Wei and Light Rain Media had a beneficial relationship.
Thus, Big Boss Chang wanted to squeeze on ChenJianhao and deliberately let him name a price. In any case, he couldn't let him get away with it!
Dong Yu and Su Qingmei were also very curious.
This time, even Lu Chen didn't know what to say.
He was a person who clearly distinguished gratitude and grudges. The reason he sold 《In The Spring》 to Forget Worries Bar was to thank ChenJianhao for giving him a good paying job during his most difficult time.
Of course, he wouldn't give it for free. ChenJianhao also wouldn't ask for it for free. As for the price, it was really negotiable.
It was enough for Lu Chen to sing 《In The Spring》 once. It was too old and not suitable for a young singer. Even if he could borrow Xu Bo's memory and perform it to perfection, it still wasn't his style.
Giving it to ChenJianhao was also giving it to Qin Hanyang and The Bionics.
But now that Chang Wei directly mentioned it, Lu Chen couldn't say that he wanted to sell it for a cheap price. Wouldn't that be the same as Chang Wei running on ChenJianhao?
But what kind of person was ChenJianhao? How could he be stumped by Chang Wei's little tricks?
He smiled and said, "It's too vulgar to talk about money. I'm prepared to not pay a single cent."
The counterattack that was neither light nor heavy made everyone stunned.
Not a single cent? Was he going to take it for free?
ChenJianhao immediately revealed the answer to the riddle, "Xiao Lu, didn't you say that you wanted Forget Worries Bar's shares? Then I'll use 5% of Forget Worries Bar's shares to exchange for this song. How about it? "
5% of Forget Worries Bar's shares!
This answer was too unexpected. Even Lu Chen didn't expect it.
Lu Chen did say that he wanted to buy some Forget Worries Bar's shares from ChenJianhao, but at that time it was just a joke. It was to express that he didn't forget his roots. Unexpectedly, ChenJianhao still remembered it.
Chang Wei was stunned for a moment. Then, he gave ChenJianhao a thumbs up, "Old Chen, good job!"
Out of all the people present, he was undoubtedly the one who understood ChenJianhao the most.
Forget Grass Bar's fixed asset value was at most one or two million. Because the bar was rented, it wasn't like Blue Lotus Bar, where even the land was their own. 5% wasn't much.
However, ChenJianhao had been in business for so long. The bar's business had always been good. It had a stable and loyal customer base.
If he were to sell the bar now, there would definitely be people fighting to buy it for three or four million. That would be a net profit of several hundred thousand a year!
5% of the shares didn't sound like much, but it was a long-term benefit.
ChenJianhao was willing to give some shares to Lu Chen. Obviously, it wasn't to buy 'In The Spring' because ChenJianhao could easily fork out a hundred or two hundred thousand. His real intention was to keep Lu Chen.
Keeping him didn't mean that Lu Chen would always be singing in Forget Worries Bar. That was simply impossible. Instead, he wanted to use Lu Chen's name to increase the reputation of Forget Grass Bar!
In the future, the more promising Lu Chen's future was, the more light Forget Worries Bar and ChenJianhao would be able to bask in.
And what he had to pay was only 5% of the shares.
A win-win situation!
ChenJianhao smiled. He asked Dong Yu, "Boss Dong, can I borrow your lawyer to draft a contract?"
Dong Yu naturally wouldn't refuse this small request.
She also admired ChenJianhao. Even in the wilderness of the pugilistic world, there was a dragon hibernating!
Sister Na smiled at Lu Chen, "Congratulations, Boss Xiao Lu!"
Lu Chen bitterly smiled. He felt like a duck being forced onto a perch.
