In a quiet and beautiful afternoon, the negotiation between Lu Chen and Wu Hongming was also friendly and sincere.
It was precisely this sincere and friendly atmosphere that made him not stick to his goal requirements. The two sides finally reached an agreement of 650,000 signing fee + a 2-year contract, and [Whale TV] has the right to terminate the contract in advance and have the priority to renew the contract.
While Lu Chen was satisfied, he also thought that he should find an agent for himself.
Originally, it was most appropriate for such a negotiation to be handled by an agent. A qualified and competent agent will always put the interests of the employer first. He will dare to ask for an exorbitant price and dare to fight with his opponent. He can completely put down his face.
Lu Chen can't do it himself. Although he used Zhao Deping as a stepping stone and occupied a considerable initiative in the negotiation, because of his character, he couldn't force himself to be ruthless and haggle with Wu Hongming for the sake of interests.
For [Whale TV] and Wu Shanshan, Lu Chen always has a sense of gratitude.
Therefore, the memory experience from the dream world tells him that he really needs an agent. It should be known that his future is not in the live broadcast platform, but in a broader world, which will inevitably have countless negotiations!
Lu Chen can't do it himself every time.
After finalizing the new contract, Wu Shanshan took her laptop and went outside to find a place to print it.
Lu Chen and Sui An, the editor of Yunjing Music Network, continued to discuss.
Even if it's an online album, it's not something that can be done immediately. First of all, Lu Chen has to prepare 10 songs for himself, which is the standard number of songs for a pop album.
This is, of course, very simple for Lu Chen. He has sung six songs, "You Who Sat Next To Me", "Love In The Wind", "The Brother Who Slept On My Upper Bunk", "Cinderella", "The Bright Times of Youth" and "Beauty", so four more songs are enough.
Lu Chen has even thought about which four songs to use to make up for his first album!
But the problem is that making an album is different from playing and singing in the live broadcast room. In order to ensure quality and sales, all 10 songs must be arranged and recorded in a professional recording studio with the accompaniment of a band, as well as post-production and so on.
In this regard, Lu Chen did not have much experience, and the memories from his dreams could not help him, because even Xu Bo had not released a real album.
However, as long as he made up his mind, all difficulties could be overcome. Especially after signing a new contract with [Whale TV], Lu Chen would have the money to complete the work in front of him.
As for the cooperation with Yunjing Music Network, it is only an intention at present.
Sui An was very talkative. His understanding of pop music and the entertainment circle made Lu Chen admire him very much.
Wu Shanshan came back with the printed contract.
Lu Chen solemnly signed his name on it.
That night, he invited the three guests from afar to have a sumptuous dinner in the Furi Hotel.
"Manager Wu, Sister Shanshan, Brother Sui …"
After dinner, Lu Chen asked, "Do you have any plans for tonight?"
Wu Hongming and Sui An looked at each other, and the latter replied with a smile, "I'm going to see some friends tomorrow. I don't have any plans tonight. Why, Lu Chen, are you going to arrange activities for us?"
Sui An has a good impression of Lu Chen. He is young, handsome, talented, and modest and polite. He is not like many of his peers who have a little bit of ability and have their noses in the sky and look like they are the best in the world.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "If there is nothing else, how about I invite you all to sit in the bar?"
Wu Shanshan's eyes lit up: "Is it your Forget Grass Bar?"
Lu Chen nodded.
Wu Shanshan smiled and her eyebrows curved: "That's great!"
Wu Hongming had no objection.
So Lu Chen took the three of them by taxi and went to Forget Grass Bar in Houhai.
Because it was Sunday night, and they came a little late, there were no empty seats in the bar.
Lu Chen hurriedly found ChenJianhao to explain the situation. The latter not only readily provided reserved VIP tables, but also personally greeted the three guests from Deep Sea.
After Lu Chen introduced the two sides to each other, they went to the backstage of the bar.
The backstage room was also very lively. In addition to Li Hong, Wang Xiaoshuai, and other old colleagues, Sister Na was also there. There were also four male and female singers who he was unfamiliar with. They should be here to run the show.
"Ah!"
As soon as she saw Lu Chen, Sister Na immediately shouted exaggeratedly, "Look who is here, it's a rare guest!"
Lu Chen touched his nose in embarrassment and said with a wry smile, "Sister Na, please spare my life."
He now focuses on live broadcasting online, so the number of times he comes to Forget Grass Bar is getting less and less.
After all, compared to [Whale TV], the money that Lu Chen earned in the bar is really much worse.
Perhaps one day he will become famous and no longer worry about money. Then he may return to the bar, hold a guitar on stage and sing casually, chat, drink, and talk music with three or five friends, and kill the idle time.
But not now.
Sister Na smiled and gave him a hug, and said, "Sister Na is joking with you. I'm very happy that you can come. Let's go inside. Big Qin and I have something to tell you."
"Okay!"
Lu Chen readily agreed, said hello to Li Hong and the others, and then went to the small suite with Sister Na.
When walking over, Lu Chen asked, "Didn't Brother Ye come tonight?"
He noticed that Ye Zhenyang was not there.
Sister Na said, "He is no longer in Forget Grass Bar. He resigned and left, otherwise …"
Speaking of Ye Zhenyang, Sister Na's tone had a hint of disdain.
Lu Chen nodded and did not speak.
He knew that Ye Zhenyang leaving Forget Grass Bar was related to him, but he had no responsibility.
Sister Na said, "Xiao Lu, you will definitely enter the entertainment circle in the future. That circle is too complicated. You have to remember that you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to guard against others. Some people, no matter how good you are to them, who knows when they will stab you!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I know, thank you for reminding me, Sister Na."
While talking, Sister Na pushed the door open, and the two came to the small suite where the band was located.
Qin Hanyang and all the members of The Bionics were there. They were rehearsing a new song. When they saw Lu Chen and Sister Na, everyone stopped practicing and the drummer stood up.
Today's Lu Chen is no longer the part-time waiter singer. His creative talent has a wide reputation in the entire Houhai circle. The price tag of 200,000 yuan for a song has been talked about by people.
And Lu Chen's original song, "In The Spring", which was given to The Bionics, was exchanged by ChenJianhao with 5% of the bar's shares. This matter has even been discussed as a legend in the circle.
Qin Hanyang put down the electric guitar and said with a smile, "Xiao Lu, you came at the right time. Sister Na and I were looking for you!"
Lu Chen asked curiously, "Brother Qin, what is it?"
Sister Na smiled and said, "Let's sit down and talk."
What they wanted to talk about with Lu Chen was actually very simple.
Sister Na and The Bionics joined Light Rain Media. Their new songs "In The Spring" and "I Want To Have A Home" will be promoted on the Internet and radio next month.
If they are successful, then Light Rain Media agreed to release a mini album for them.
The so-called mini album is actually a shrunken version of a complete CD. It usually contains 5 songs and is sold at a lower price than an album. The distribution method is more flexible, so it is used by many singers and is also called a compact disc.
Since The Bionics added Sister Na as the lead singer, Light Rain Media hopes that the two can invite Lu Chen to sing a duet song to enrich the content of this mini album.
Qin Hanyang said sincerely, "Originally, this matter should be handled by the company. It's just that the company considered our personal relationship, so they let us discuss it ourselves. Of course, the price of the song will be as high as it should be!"
Lu Chen understood, thought for a moment and said, "That's no problem. Can I give it to you two days later?"
Sister Na smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. We are most confident in the songs you write. It will definitely not be bad!"
Lu Chen smiled.
After chatting for a while, Lu Chen borrowed a guitar from Qin Hanyang and went out to perform on stage.
He played and sang "Love In The Wind", "Beauty" and "The Bright Times of Youth". The three new songs gave the new and old customers in the bar a great surprise, and the cheers and applause have not stopped.
The next morning, Lu Chen sent Wu Hongming and the other two to the high-speed train back to Shenhai City.
At 2 o 'clock in the afternoon, he received a text message from the bank.
