On a quiet and beautiful afternoon, the negotiations between Lu Chen and Wu Hongming were also friendly and sincere.
It was precisely this kind of sincere and friendly atmosphere that prevented him from sticking to his goals. The two parties finally reached an agreement of 650,000 signing bonus + 2-year contract, and [Whale TV] had the right to terminate the contract early and give priority to renewal.
While Lu Chen was satisfied, he also thought that he should find a manager for himself.
Originally, it is most appropriate for a broker to come forward for a negotiation like this. A qualified and competent broker will always put the interests of the employer first, and dare to speak loudly and fight with the opponent, which is completely embarrassing.
Lu Chen couldn't do it himself. Although he used Zhao Deping as a stepping stone to take the initiative in the negotiation, but because of his personality, he couldn't force himself to be cold-hearted and compare every penny with Wu Hongming for the benefit.
For [Whale TV] and Wu Shanshan, Lu Chen always has a feeling of gratitude.
Therefore, the memory experience from Dream World tells him that he really needs an agent. To know that his future is not on the webcast platform, but on a wider world, there will inevitably be countless negotiations!
It is impossible for Lu Chen to fight by himself every time.
After finalizing the new contract, Wu Shanshan took her laptop and went outside to find a place to print.
Lu Chen and Sui An, the editor of Yunjing Music Network, continued to discuss.
Even if it's an online album, it doesn't come out as soon as you think of it. First, Lu Chen has to prepare 10 songs for himself, which is the standard number of songs for a pop music album.
This is of course very simple for Lu Chen. He has sung six songs so far, including "You at the Same Table", "Love in the Wind and Dust", "The Brother Who Sleeps on My Upper Bunk", "Cinderella", "Youth Jinshi" and "Beauty". , then only four more songs are enough.
Lu Chen even thought about which four songs he would use to complement his first album!
But the problem is that producing an album is different from playing and singing in a live broadcast room. In order to ensure quality and sales, all 10 songs must be arranged, recorded in a professional recording studio with the accompaniment of the band, and post-production, etc.
Lu Chen doesn't have much experience in this area, and the memories from his dreams can't help him, because even Xu Bo hasn't released a real album.
But as long as you make up your mind, all difficulties can be overcome, especially after signing a new contract with [Whale TV], then Lu Chen will have the money to complete the previous work.
As for the cooperation with Yunjing Music Network, it is only an intention at present.
Suian is very talkative. Lu Chen admires his knowledge of pop music and the entertainment industry.
Wu Shanshan came back with a printed contract.
Lu Chen solemnly signed his name on it.
At the Furi Hotel that night, he invited three guests from afar to have a sumptuous dinner together.
"Manager Wu, Sister Shanshan, follow the elder brother..."
After dinner, Lu Chen asked, "Do you have any plans for the evening?"
Wu Hongming and Sui'an looked at each other, and the latter replied with a smile: "I'm going to see some friends tomorrow, but I don't have any arrangements for tonight. Why are you here to arrange activities for us, Lu Chen?"
Suian has a good impression of Lu Chen. He is young, handsome and talented, and he is humble and courteous. He is not like many of his peers who are talented and have nostrils. He looks like he is the best in the world.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "If it's okay, how about I invite you all to sit in the bar?"
Wu Shanshan's eyes lit up: "Is this your Wangyoucao bar?"
Lu Chen nodded.
Wu Shanshan's eyebrows curved with a smile: "That's great!"
Wu Hongming also had no objection.
So Lu Chen took the three of them to the Wangyoucao bar in Houhai by taxi.
Since it was Sunday night and they were a bit late, there were no empty seats in the bar.
Lu Chen hurriedly went to Chen Jianhao to explain the situation, and the latter not only readily provided the reserved VIP table, but also greeted the three guests from the deep sea in person.
After Lu Chen introduced the two parties to each other, he came to the backstage of the bar.
The big backstage room was also very lively. Besides Li Hong, Wang Xiaoshuai and other old colleagues, Sister Na was also there, and there were four male and female singers who were all unfamiliar to him, and they should have come to run the show.
"Oh!"
As soon as she saw Lu Chen, Sister Na exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Look who is here, it's a rare visitor!"
Lu Chen rubbed his nose embarrassingly, and said with a wry smile, "Sister Na, please forgive me."
He now puts his main energy on the webcast, so he visits Wangyoucao less and less.
After all, compared to [Whale TV], the money Lu Chen earned in the bar is far worse.
Maybe one day he will no longer worry about money when he becomes famous, and then he may come back to the bar, sing casually on stage with a guitar, chat with friends, drink and talk about music, killing idle time.
But not now.
Sister Na smiled and gave him a hug, and said, "Sister Na was joking with you, I'm glad you can come, let's go inside, Daqin and I have something to tell you."
"it is good!"
Lu Chen readily agreed, greeted Li Hong and the others, and then went to the small apartment with Sister Na.
When walking over, Lu Chenduo asked, "Did Brother Ye not come tonight?"
He noticed that Ye Zhenyang was not there.
Sister Na said: "He is no longer in Wangyoucao, he resigned and left on his own accord, otherwise..."
Speaking of Ye Zhenyang, Sister Na's tone was a little more disdainful.
Lu Chen nodded and did not speak.
He knew that Ye Zhenyang's leaving the Wangyoucao bar had something to do with him, but he didn't take any responsibility.
Sister Na said again: "Xiao Lu, you will definitely enter the entertainment industry in the future. That industry is too complicated. You must remember that you must not have the heart of harming others, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. No matter how nice you are to some people, say He may stab you at any time!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I know, thank you, Sister Na, for reminding me."
While talking, Sister Na opened the door, and the two came to the small suite where the Panic Band was.
Qin Hanyang and all the members of the wandering band were there. They were rehearsing their new song. When they saw Lu Chen and Sister Na, everyone stopped practicing, and the drummers all stood up.
Today's Lu Chen is no longer the part-time waiter's singer at the time. His creative talent has gained a wide reputation in the entire Houhai circle, and people talk about the price of 200,000 yuan for a song.
As for Lu Chen's original "In the Spring", which was given to the Wandering Band, Chen Jianhao exchanged 5% of the bar's shares. This incident was even talked about as a legend in the circle.
Qin Hanyang put down the electric guitar, greeted with a smile: "Xiao Lu, you came just in time, Sister Na and I were looking for you!"
Lu Chen asked curiously, "Brother Qin, what's the matter?"
Sister Na smiled and said, "Let's sit down and talk."
What the two of them wanted to discuss with Lu Chen was actually very simple.
Sister Na joined Light Rain Media together with the Wandering Band. Their new songs "In Spring" and "I Want to Have a Home" will be promoted on the Internet and radio next month.
If they hit the charts successfully, Light Rain Media will agree to release a mini album for them.
The so-called mini-album is actually a shortened version of the full CD, usually recorded with 5 songs, the selling price is lower than the album, and the distribution method is more flexible, so it is adopted by many singers, also known as mini-album.
Since the Wandering Band joined Sister Na as the lead singer, Light Rain Media hoped that the two would invite Lu Chen to sing a new 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 has considered our personal relationship, so let us discuss it ourselves. Of course, the price of buying songs is whatever you want!"
Lu Chen understood, thought for a while and said, "That's no problem, can I give it to you in two days?"
Sister Na smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem. We are most assured that the song you wrote will not be bad!"
Lu Chen smiled.
After chatting for a few more words, Lu Chen borrowed a guitar from Qin Hanyang and went out to perform on stage.
He played and sang "Lianlian Fengchen", "Beauty" and "Youth Jinshi" successively. The three new songs gave great surprises to the old and new customers in the bar, and the cheers and applause never stopped.
The next morning, Lu Chen sent Wu Hongming and the others to the high-speed train back to Shenhai City.
At 2pm, he received a text message from the bank.
There is an extra 650,000 in the account!
