On the 13th of August, Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er returned to Capital City.
In the past few months, due to the filming of China's Voice, in addition to other work matters, the two of them had flown back and forth between Capital City and Hangzhou more than a dozen times. Even Lu Chen was tempted to buy a private jet.
Although the transportation between Beijing and Hangzhou was very convenient, with many flights and high-speed trains, as idols and celebrities, there were always various inconveniences when they went out. Some of their fans were quite resourceful and could always find out about the two's travel information in advance. They would then run to the airport to chase after their idols, and even if they took the VIP exit, they would inevitably be blocked.
As for Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er, they had always been very easygoing and close to their fans. Therefore, whenever a fan came to pick them up, they would always ask for a photo or something. In the end, it attracted even more fans, causing the two of them to feel a little inconvenienced.
It would be much more convenient if they had a private jet. Unfortunately, the domestic air traffic control was very strict, and the procedures to apply for a flight route were complicated and time-consuming. Even if Lu Chen could afford a private jet, it would still be troublesome to use it on a daily basis.
It was not only those crazy fans who chased after their idols, but the cooked duck was also in trouble.
"They're not satisfied with the contract?"
On the second day back in Capital City, Lu Chen received a call from Lu Xi at the Huairou Studio. He was a little surprised.
His sister was just talking to him about signing a contract with Anxin.
Anxin won the championship of China's Voice as a member of Chen Fei 'er's team. According to the show's initial promotion, apart from a generous bonus, she would also have the opportunity to sign a contract with Chenfei Media.
Moreover, Anxin had previously expressed her desire to sign a contract with Chenfei Media.
That was easy to understand. Although Chenfei Media had only been established for a short period of time, it was already very famous in the industry. With two big names in the industry, Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er, it was undoubtedly a lucky thing for a new artist to sign a contract with them.
Especially Lu Chen, who had created so many outstanding works, he seemed to be the new godfather of pop music.
As long as he stayed in the industry long enough and produced more works, he would definitely be honored.
With such a foundation, An Xin was willing to sign the contract, and Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er had a good impression of this hard-working singer, it should have been a matter of time before the contract was signed.
"How could this be?"
Lu Chen was not in a good mood. It wasn't that Anxin wouldn't be a great loss to Chenfei Media, but it didn't feel right.
Lu Xi said, "Her agent is not easy to deal with. He made a lot of requests. I summed it up. It's almost the treatment of an A-list star. We also have to give her an independent studio affiliated with the company."
Lu Chen was speechless.
In order to expand its scale and strength, Chenfei Media had changed its development strategy of not signing new artists, and began to attract excellent talents to join it. There were also several outstanding rookies in the company.
Different from those entertainment agencies that wanted to suck the marrow out of their artists, Chenfei Media's contracts for artists were not harsh. The treatment was above average, and the personal restrictions were very lenient. Even if the artists broke the contract and left, they didn't need to pay much, and they had a high degree of freedom.
On the one hand, it was because neither Lu Chen nor Chen Fei 'er needed to make money by exploiting newcomers. If they worked together, they would come and go. If they didn't, they would go. Although this approach may not be commercial or professional enough, Lu Chen thought that Chenfei Media should be a humane company.
When Lu Chen first made his debut, he had also been asked to sign a harsh contract. He didn't want Chenfei Media to become the object of his disgust.
The contract given to An Xin was not a contract for newcomers, but a more advanced agency contract with better conditions.
But it was rejected.
He thought for a moment and said, "You can't force her to do it. Since we can't reach an agreement, let's give up."
Lu Xi was regretful. "Actually, An Xin is not bad. The problem is that her agent … Sigh, forget it."
She was now in Hangzhou and had been in contact with An Xin for a long time, so she had some understanding of her.
As the champion of The Voice of China, An Xin was now very popular. Her blog followers had exceeded 5 million, and many recording companies and agencies had offered her an olive branch.
This was undoubtedly the reason why her agent dared to negotiate with Chenfei Media.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Chen couldn't help shaking his head.
Chen Fei'er, who was sitting next to him, asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with An Xin? "
Lu Chen nodded and briefly explained the situation.
Chen Fei'er was speechless. She had been in contact with Anxin for the longest time, and she had a good impression of this simple-looking, hard-working, and talented girl. Therefore, she was happy to sign Anxin on.
But now, she felt like she had been given the cold shoulder.
However, it wasn't something unbelievable. People change, especially in the big pool of the entertainment industry. Once you enter it, you would change very quickly.
Back then, An Xin was just an unknown singer. Now, she was as popular as a second or third-tier celebrity. It was normal for her to ask for better treatment when The Voice of China was at its peak.
Even if she didn't have much of an opinion, the agent who had taken the commission would not let it go.
"Then forget it …"
Chen Fei'er also felt that it was a pity, but she didn't raise the offer to satisfy the agent.
It wasn't that Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er were stingy, but An Xin's popularity was only temporary. Her flaws were very obvious, and they had to pay a higher price to bring her to new heights.
For Chen Fei'er, there was no need for that.
* Ring ring ring *
As a result, as soon as Chen Fei 'er's voice fell, her private cell phone rang.
It was Anxin who had called her.
Chen Fei'er picked up the phone, and after a few minutes, she hung up.
Lu Chen asked with a smile, "What did she say?"
Chen Fei'er said lazily, "Not much. First, she apologized. She hoped that we could satisfy some of her conditions. She also said that her agent is her distant cousin. Anyway …"
"Forget it!"
She threw the phone away, as if throwing away a burden.
Although Chen Fei'er had always presented herself as a kind and gentle person, deep down, she was very proud.
Even though An Xin had called to apologize, she still felt bitterly disappointed.
She felt that she had wasted a lot of her feelings.
Then give it up!
Lu Chen understood and held his girlfriend's hand to comfort her. At the same time, he put the matter to the back of his mind.
But to his surprise, the trouble had only just begun.
