Perfect Superstar

Chapter 14: Deep Hidden Pride

Following Chen Jianhao, Lu Chen arrived at the reserved seating area on the upper level of the bar.

The Forgotten Grass Bar was remodeled from an old warehouse, nearly seven meters tall, so it was converted to two floors above and below, leaving the middle for the stage, nicely constructed and taking full advantage of the entire space.

Like most bars in the Back Sea, Forgotten Grass Bar has reserved seating areas with three wine tables, no matter how good the business, that are empty to wait for guests who may not appear.

Because opening a bar to do business, connections are very important. Chen Jianhao had a vast exchange. If a good friend or a person who can't be offended suddenly comes to the door, at this time of remoteness, the bar is full, and there is no place to sit, it is undoubtedly a very embarrassing thing.

That is why reserved seating areas exist.

Looking for Lu Chen to buy a song can sit in reserved seats, that will definitely not be the ordinary character.

Perhaps he was a little nervous. Chen Jianhao whispered on the way up the stairs: "Don't worry, you can sell or not. With me, no one will bother you. ”

Lu Chen relieved and said: “Thank you, boss. ”

Chen Jianhao is a really good boss, although he is usually a little harsh on people.

Two of the three wine tables in the reserved seating area are empty. The table near the iron fence seats one man and two women. The man is in his thirties or so. The suit pen is fitted with a pair of golden filament glasses. The hair is neatly combed and you can tell it is the kind of elite in the workplace.

The woman was much younger, had an eight-point figure, dressed quite casually, held the glass in her hand and looked around curiously, seemed to feel fresh about everything in the bar.

“Manager Song, I brought people here...”

Chen Jianhao walked over with Lu Chen and said with a smile: “This is Lu Chen, Lu! ”

The man in the suit waited for Chen Jianhao to walk to himself before standing up. A slight smile appeared on his face and nodded his head towards the landing in the morning.

The woman on the side hurried up and forgot to put the glass down, and the drinks spilled out.

“Xiaolu, this is Mr. Song Xinwei, deputy general manager and brokerage manager of Light Rain Media, and this is Ms. Dong Xuan, assistant general manager," Chen Jianhao introduced. ”

Light rain media? Is Su Qingmei still alive?

Lu Chen thought in his heart, and at the same time reached out to the man in the suit without being overwhelmed: “Hello, Manager Song. ”

Song Xinwei reached out and shook his hand: “Hello. ”

Lu Chen reaches out to Miss Dong Xuan again: "Hello Miss Dong. ”

Dong Xuan grabbed the grip quickly and said in a small way: “Okay, Lu Chen, hello...”

Lu Chenguan smiled.

The general manager's assistant was so young, he was a freshman who had just entered the workplace.

Of course, he didn't have to worry about whether he was qualified for the position of assistant general manager, and after the guest service, everyone sat down at the wine table.

Song Xinwei opened the door to the mountains and said: “Xiao Lu, here's the thing. We came here tonight to buy a copyright to a song from you at the behest of Su Qingmei's director. ”

He nodded at Dong Xuan, who immediately removed several sheets of paper from his briefcase.

Song Xinwei went on to say: “Our company's legal department has confirmed that the copyright of the first name ‘You at the same table’ belongs entirely to you and is therefore willing to buy all of its copyright at a high price, please read this contract. ”

Lu Chen took over the contract silently.

Light Rain Media confirms that the copyright to the song is simple and can be found by searching through the Greater China Music Library, whether it's the name of the song, the lyrics or the score.

This is the authority and convenience of the Greater China Music Library, which, although expensive to register, legally avoids possible copyright disputes and saves a lot of trouble.

And Lu Chen can complete the copyright deal through the Greater China Music Library if he wants to.

But none of this is the point.

His eyes quickly swept through a list of clauses in the contract, quickly locking in the focus.

That's the price of the transferred copyright, which clearly says: ¥20000.00

There's another $20,000 in capital.

Twenty grand!

The first time I saw this price, Lu Chen was really a little upset.

He used to work two hard jobs for more than 15 hours a day, earning more than $4,500 a month to send home, in addition to his daily living expenses.

And now he can easily take 20,000 by signing his own name on this contract.

Most importantly, there are countless good songs in his memory that really don't matter.

Opposite Lu Chen, Song Xinwei acutely discovered the change in the former's divine colour through the ultra-thin resin lenses of the golden filament glasses. His eyes flashed a slight discoloration.

If Su Qiongmei hadn't asked, as Deputy General Manager of the Hall in Light Rain Media, he wouldn't have brought people here personally and talked to a dusty, untidy kid about a small contract of only $20,000.

Of course, $20,000 is definitely huge for the kid in front of him, and he's probably turning dizzy.

Lucky boy!

However, Lu Chen was not knocked out and after learning about the price, he began to take a closer look at the other terms.

The more you look at your face, the uglier it is.

All copyright terms besides the right to sign "You at the Table" are normal and Lu Chen also approves, but what the hell is it that doesn't allow him to continue singing this song in any public place?

So after he sold the song, he couldn't even sing it at the Forgotten Grass Bar?

Another is that Light Rain Media has priority over his work, and he cannot retransfer his later creations to third parties until the former has confirmed his abandonment!

What a bloody dog!

If Lu Chen hastily signed the contract without taking a closer look at it, it would amount to being tied to the light rain media boat and losing the initiative for his own work.

The back-effects of high profitability are, of course, ambush traps.

Lu Chen understood that he was very determined to return the contract: “Sorry, I can't sign this contract. ”

In the same vein, he spoke to Su Qingmei once yesterday.

Song Xinwei was waiting for Lu Chen to sign. I had no idea Lu Chen would refuse. I couldn't help but be stunned: “What? ”

Lu Chen repeated his remarks.

Song Xinwei finally understood, he felt humiliated and changed his face at the moment: “Can I know why? Is it about the price? ”

“Then I think you should know that this price cannot be given by anyone else! ”

In fact, Lu Chen understands that.

Now the era is not the '80s and' 90s, the rise of the Internet and the prevalence of piracy led to a huge recession in the record industry. Today's singer stars spell the fan economy and eyeball economy, all kinds of crazy speculation, all kinds of blogging to earn popularity, it is not long before a bestselling record can be produced to earn a full pot.

The author of popular music is naturally not as good as before.

And now that technology is developed, even ordinary people can create with software such as "The Singing Master," the threshold for composition of lyrics has been greatly reduced, and there are countless third-rate and inferior works in the market.

Amateur authors write a song that can still be sung without spending money registering in the Greater China Music Library. As long as they upload it to a music website to prove their copyright, 3500 will be willing to sell it.

Professional songwriters are pricey, but new or third-class authors write a song for a maximum price of two or three thousand, and someone has to ask for it, or even deal with it at a discount.

Light Rain Media has bought Lu Chen's "You at the Table" for 20,000 yuan, which is already a famous family treatment!

You know, this is Lu Chen's first work. His work has not yet been tested by the market.

That's why Song Xinwei is so annoyed - how can nowadays's newcomers be so unaware of the thickness of the heavens and the earth?

But Lu Chen did not compare the price.

“Price is not a problem...”

He said very seriously: "Twenty thousand dollars, I'm willing to sell the copyright, but I can't accept the other terms. ”

"You at the Table" is definitely worth more than 20,000 yuan, but Lu Chen doesn't care if Chen Jianhao and Su Xiaomei have a relationship and he doesn't want to offend a media company.

However, only this song!

Song Xinwei understood Lu Chen's meaning and there was no change in attitude. "Xiao Lu, think about it. Without these terms, would our company pay such a high price? Who do you think you are? And you still have the right to sign. This is your chance to be famous. You have to know to treasure it! ”

He almost pointed at Lu Chen's nose and said, "Don't you know what's good for you?"

Lu Chen Jianmei picked out his eyebrows and said, "Manager Song, I am a nobody. A big company like Light Rain Media can't really climb, so please be smart! ”

In his last two words, if Su Qianmei heard it, he would probably be angry with the smoke.

Lu Chen is also a temperamental man, his pride is hidden deep in the bones. Although the stress of life has bent over his waist, his knees are always strong!

After that, he stood up and nodded at Dong Xuan. Then he said to Chen Jianhao: "Boss, I'm going down first, but I have to play later. ”

Earlier, when Lu Chen and Song Xinwei were negotiating, Chen Jianhao had never spoken, and now he smiled and said: “Go ahead, I'll have two more drinks with Manager Song here. ”

“Thank you, boss! ”

Lu Chen did not look at Song Xinwei, and left the reserved seating area.

Song Xinwei was so angry that he didn't drop his glass. His eyes glanced at Chen Jianhao and said coldly: “Boss Chen, your buddy is so skeletal, I saw him today! ”

“Ha ha, young man...”

Chen Jianhao beat up a haha and said: “It's all like this. Who hasn't been young? Come on, drink, drink! ”

Where can Song Xinwei drink, he is feeling unprecedented frustration.
