Volume II: The Commodity Society, Chapter 131: High-Price Authorization
Chen Feng was a little depressed again. He really doesn't know what kind of "Chen Feng's home" forum is. It's not that he didn't expect that he was famous now, but he didn't expect his fans to become large. After experiencing the troubles of celebrities, he really doesn't want to be a star now. Although sometimes, he also enjoys the feeling of being a celebrity, but when the two contradict his normal life and the normal life of his family, it is not very important, not to mention that he has no need to be famous, his current wealth is enough to spend it in several lifetimes, so why bother working hard for "a little money". It's good to be a celebrity worshipped, but if you don't have your privacy at all, then the star is still inappropriately good.
"I really don't know what 'Chen Feng's house' is." Chen Feng told the truth.
Tao Zhixin looked at Chen Feng in surprise again, this "Chen Feng's Home" has had nearly 100,000 registered members since its establishment a few months ago, which can be described as developing very rapidly, and with Chen Feng's fame further increasing, the number of at least 100 registrations is increasing every day. This matter can be said to have attracted a lot of attention from their entertainment companies. But the party Chen Feng didn't know anything about it, which really surprised him, did Chen Feng really not want to be famous? Or did he not think about continuing to develop in the entertainment industry at all? These two thoughts rose in Tao Zhixin's mind, and there was some emotion and pity in his heart. It would be a pity if Chen Feng really "quit the music scene" and no longer develop in the entertainment industry.
"Chen Feng, if you have time, you should go up and check out this website. It is very well built and comprehensive, it is completely like a professional-level website, and its influence in the domestic fandom is very large, even those big-name domestic singers do not have such a big popularity and traffic as your website. If you have your formal recognition and joining, plus a good construction of the local dialect, it may be the first stop in the domestic fandom in the future. Tao Zhixin encouraged.
Of course, Chen Feng is also a little curious about this "Chen Feng House" now. After all, this is a website dedicated to him, and he really wants to go up and see what it's like. But if you want to endorse this site. Chen Feng, of course, lacks interest.
"Uncle Tao, let's not talk about the website for now, you still tell me why you came to me this time. Explain in advance, I will help if I can, and if I can't, don't blame me. Chen Feng said neatly.
Tao Zhixin smiled. With a flattering face, he said: "Xiao Feng, after I took back the three songs you gave us last time, the local art director of our company felt very good, and it has been confirmed that he will sing for a newcomer in the company, and in about two months, this newcomer from our company will be able to withdraw from his first album." If there were no accidents, the whole of our company would have thought he would be famous. At that time, this qiÄ will be your credit. ā
Chen Feng couldn't stand his way of talking, so he raised his hand to stop him: "Stop, stop!" I said Uncle Tao, if you have something to say, just say it, don't go around these bends. It's still the same sentence just now, I will help if I can, and I can't help if I can't. ā
Tao Zhixin hurriedly nodded and said, "I can help." You can definitely help with these two things. ā
"Two things?" Chen Feng couldn't help frowning.
"Two things." Tao Zhixin nodded a little embarrassedly, "However, these two things are just a gesture for you." ā
"Let's talk about it." Chen Feng became a little impatient.
"That's right, the first thing, you just knew, our company wants to promote new people and sing him the three songs you wrote, this. We hope to have your permission. In your name, you publicized these three songs specifically for him. This, that is, you want to borrow your popularity; What about the second thing, you are so smart, you must have guessed it, that is, our company hopes to buy the copyright of your song "Beautiful Myth", the price is easy for us to discuss, do you see these two things? ā
Chen Feng thought for a while and said unequivocally: "The first thing I can promise you, however, you have to pay me an additional 100,000 yuan of 'image fee', and I have to explain to you that I myself have no obligation to promote this newcomer for your company, and the 100,000 yuan is only the 'image fee' I authorized to you; The album is also sure to be a big hit. So, I can give you two options, the first one is that you can pay me a million dollars in royalties at once, and the second one is that I only need to pay 30% of the profits from the song at that time. ā
Principal Jiang, who was listening on the side, was already surprised when he heard Chen Feng open his mouth, just a "image authorization" would cost 100,000 yuan, and a song authorization would cost 1 million. In his expectation, his old classmate would definitely not agree to this condition offered by Chen Feng.
Tao Zhixin had to admire Chen Feng for giving such a reply in a short period of time, and couldn't help but think: If this Chen Feng is a musical genius and a sports genius, it is better to say that he is a business genius and a negotiation genius, and he believes that if Chen Feng goes to business in the future, he will definitely be rich.
"Your first condition, I can make the decision now, and I will agree to it." Tao Zhixin smiled bitterly, "But the second condition, I have to discuss with the senior management of our company before I can give you an answer." Well, tomorrow happens to be the weekend, and I'll give you an exact answer by noon tomorrow. ā
"Okay, you can call me directly then. If you think it's appropriate, we can go directly to the law firm and sign the agreement. Let me be clear, though, that I don't accept bargaining. So, I'll go back to class now. ā
watched Chen Feng drift away. Tao Zhixin couldn't help but smile helplessly and shook his head, he used the company's entrustment to buy the overall copyright of Chen Feng's "Beautiful Myth" with the "highest price" of one million, but he didn't expect the other party to directly open the license fee to this price. But. Speaking from his heart, based on Chen Feng's current popularity in China and the overall quality of this song, he doesn't think it's particularly high. In Hong Kong and Taiwan, if it comes from the head of those famous artists, it is not uncommon for two million or three million.
"I said, old classmate. Your company wouldn't really agree to a million royalties for a song, would it? Principal Jiang had an expression of disbelief. Last time, a song was 100,000 yuan. Now a song has directly multiplied tenfold, and the asking price is one million, and it seems that his old classmates are likely to agree, which ...... That's outrageous, isn't it?
"Old classmate, I still say the same thing, you are a great student. This is a means of extorting money. Tsk, I'm ashamed of myself. However, I also have to admit that his song "Myth of the Beautiful Land" is worth a million, and I think the president of our company should be able to see this as well. So, as a result, we have a good chance of agreeing with him at this price. Tao Zhixin said very sincerely.
Principal Jiang was already shocked with his mouth wide open and speechless. He couldn't help wailing in his heart! Oh, my God! A million! One song is a million! Two songs, two million three songs...... He didn't dare to think about it. As the principal of the city's No. 1 Middle School, he has worked diligently in the education system for decades, and his annual salary and bonus are less than 100,000 yuan, if you add a little gray income, the average annual average is at most 200,000 yuan, and his current family background is in addition to a set of three bedrooms and two living rooms worth more than 500,000 yuan in the urban area. The deposit in the bank is more than 300,000, and when it is full, all the family funds added up to 1 million, which is the result of his hard work and decades of hard work, but now a student in his school has used his spare time to create a song for months or even days or even hours, and he actually ...... It was sold for a million, and this blow was a blow to him, the principal who had been diligent and dedicated to the cause of education. It's just huge.
It's not that I don't understand. It's that the world is changing too fast! When, a junior high school student. You can make more than a million dollars while talking and laughing? Principal Jiang's heart fluctuated for a while, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
After Chen Feng came home from school, he opened the so-called "Chen Feng's Home" website on the Internet as soon as possible, and sure enough, the structure of the website is very good, and the layout is very rich, but it does not give people a sense of clutter at all, but it seems very concise.
In the middle of the homepage are a few photos of him Chen Feng, which are played like a slideshow. Chen Feng saw his first photo, and almost scolded, grandma's, it was actually a single-inch photo taken when he graduated from primary school, and I don't know which of his primary school classmates who lacked virtue and ghost announced it, and the other few are Chen Feng's recent life photos, most of them were taken with his classmates at the beginning, and there were a few video screenshots when he played and sang "Life with You" and "Beautiful Mythology". Below is a link to the news about him Chen Fengdi, and the first one marked in red font is the news that he played and sang "Beautiful Myth" in the square last night. Chen Feng clicked in and watched it, and the first thing was a video. The shooting of the video is obviously very professional, the distance of the lens and the brightness of the color are all shot in place, which is much clearer than the last time he "has you in my life". Chen Feng himself scored this video, if it was seven points last time, this time it is nine points, and his live playing and singing skills are really recorded.
At the bottom of the video is a text introduction, calling Chen Feng's second appearance "amazing", saying that since he listened to this song, he was so moved that he cried several times, except for the previous "Life with You", he couldn't listen to other songs anymore, and predicted that this song would be popular all over Asia. Later, he said even more sadly that although Chen Feng announced that the song "Farewell to the Music World" was his last song, he still firmly believed that he would make a comeback after all when he grew up, bringing us more, better, and more exciting songs, and we, as his fans, should give him some time, wait firmly and patiently for him to grow up, wait for him to change his mind and "return to the music scene".
To be honest, Chen Feng was very moved when he read this text description. In his previous life, he was very disdainful of those so-called "what fans" and "what fans", and felt that they were a little brainless, but now as a star, he really feels the care and love of these fans, and he thinks they are very cute.
Then Chen Feng went to the forum of this website to take a look, and in addition to "The Myth of the Beautiful Land", there was a swarm of people talking about Chen Feng's "farewell to the music world". All of them are begging to be saved, and a person who claims to be a super fan of Chen Feng even posted that she will wait for Chen Feng for three years, and after three years, he has finished the college entrance examination and gone to college, if Chen Feng does not come back by then, she will commit suicide by jumping off the building. She's a joke or a spoof. It has become a big hot post, and it has been built hundreds of floors. The people who replied to the post unanimously agreed, and three years later, if Chen Feng didn't come back, they would go to jump off the building collectively.
For these somewhat unreasonable and crazy fans, Chen Feng doesn't think that they are all joking, and if one or two of them are suicidal, he will not be able to escape responsibility. This made Chen Feng have a headache, and he didn't want to look at it anymore at the moment, so he closed the webpage directly.
At noon the next day, Tao Zhixin really called and accepted the two offers made by Chen Feng, the "image royalty" of 100,000 yuan, and the "song licensing fee" of 1 million yuan, if possible. You can go to the law firm now and sign the agreement.
Chen Feng was of course very happy about this windfall, after all, this money, like the 300,000 yuan last time, was earned by his own hands with "hard work".
He told his mother and Momiji the news as soon as possible. Of course, my mother is very happy that her son can make so much money by engaging in a "side hustle", but. Their family's current family background, she knows a little bit, to be honest, she really doesn't pay much attention to this "pocket money", and she didn't confiscate it as before, after all, her son now has a wife and a "family" adult, and she is embarrassed to deduct the "pocket money" he earned "hard" by himself.
This million is nothing in Zhao Xiaolan's eyes, but in Hongye's eyes, it is an astronomical number, and she is so happy that she jumps and jumps, and praises Chen Feng for being amazing. Seeing Hongye praising himself so much, Chen Feng was of course a little fluttering. I almost impulsively told her all the money I have now. Fortunately, considering her psychological endurance, Chen Feng forcibly stopped this impulse. Otherwise. If Chen Feng told her that your husband now has hundreds of billions of dollars and is likely to be the richest man in the world, Hongye will definitely have more inferiority complex in his heart, and there must be gains and losses every day.
Chen Feng saw that the red leaves were on the rise, and immediately proposed to officially give her a monthly pocket money, which was not much, only 5,000 yuan per month, and in addition, he also planned to buy her a top-notch Yamaha piano. This construction yƬ was approved by the old **, saying that it was a matter of course for the husband to give his wife a monthly household, and Hongye saw that her mother-in-law agreed, of course, it was not easy to refuse, and she nodded obediently and agreed.
After sharing his happiness with his family, Chen Feng took a car to "Zhang Hanjie Law Firm", the three of them did not meet for the first time, and the licensing agreement for "Beautiful Mythology" was signed in full accordance with the content of the last agreement, the difference is only the name of the song, and the specific amount of the license fee.
To be honest, Zhang Hanjie, as a barrister in the city, was also quite surprised by this "sky-high" song licensing fee, although Chen Feng had already given him a lot of surprises before, but this time, he still felt surprised, and he felt more and more that Chen Feng was too unfathomable. At the same time, he also strengthened his plan to actively move closer to Chen Feng and his father Chen Dayong. Of course, this is also indispensable for Chen Feng's grandfather, Vice Premier Wang.
As for the collection of 100,000 yuan of image fees, of course, Chen Feng did not directly sign a specific written agreement with the Xingyue Company represented by Tao Zhixin, after all, this matter is not good to be put directly on the table, and the two parties only reached a verbal agreement. As long as they send the money to their designated account when the time comes.
After the two sides signed the agreement, Tao Zhixin politely invited Chen Feng and Zhang Hanjie to lunch. Just received millions of people, of course Chen Feng wanted to give this face, so he took the initiative to say that he would invite this meal.
So, the three of them ate a relatively sumptuous French meal together in a restaurant not far from the law firm.
During the banquet, the two adults praised Chen Feng as the dragon and phoenix among people, and his future will be limitless. Chen Feng has long formed a solid immune system for the praise of others now, and this ear goes in and out of that ear. Of course, Chen Feng also put on a happy posture, and praised the two of them for a while, especially Zhang Hanjie, who was called "Uncle Jie", the previous "Uncle Zhang" was obviously not as cordial as the current "Uncle Jie", which made Zhang Hanjie very useful in his heart.
The lunch took an hour, and when it was time to pay the bill, Zhang Hanjie took the lead in swiping the card before the two.
After returning home, Chen Feng discussed with his mother and Hongye about buying a piano. In the end, the three of them felt that it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, and today they went to the largest piano shop in the city to see the piano.
Before going out, be prepared, Chen Feng wore a peaked cap, and also put on big sunglasses, and then the three of them took a car together to the city's largest "Haiyun Qin Shop", the last time Chen Feng's house Yamaha was bought here, however, last time Chen Feng did not come, it was his mother who did it, and only picked a not very expensive and not very cheap upright piano of more than 60,000 yuan under the construction of the store owner, although the price ratio is very good, and the tone is also good, but compared to the grand piano to the upright piano, of course, it seems a little childish, It also seems unprofessional. Therefore, Chen Feng has always wanted to change to an atmospheric grand piano.
The owner of the store is a white and chubby man with glasses, who is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he actually remembers the patron of Chao Xiaolan, and recognized her at the first time. When he heard that he was going to visit their store for the second time, the owner was surprised and of course overjoyed. Immediately, he introduced them to the various pianos in the store.
Hongye and Chen Feng almost at the same time fell in love with a grand piano with a price tag of 188888, its shape is very beautiful, Chen Feng couldn't help but step forward to try it, the sound quality is even more first-class, compared with his own upright piano, immediately see the high and low.
Chen Feng immediately decided to buy this one.
When the owner heard that they were going to buy the most expensive piano in the store, he was surprised at the same time, but he said with a look of embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, this piano was originally the treasure of our store, only this one, but unfortunately it happened to be ordered this morning, saying that he would come to see the goods and pay for it in the afternoon." ā
"Oh, did he pay the deposit?" Chen Feng asked with some surprise.
The shopkeeper shook his head: "Not really. ā
Chen Feng said with a smile: "Since he hasn't paid the deposit yet, but just promised to come and see the goods, then you sell it to us, and it is not a breach of contract." I can give you the money to buy it now. ā
The shopkeeper said helplessly: "Since this customer said that he wanted to buy it, then he will definitely buy it." I'm really sorry, if you don't rush, wait for our store to import this one-touch piano. ā
"How long will that take?" Chen Feng frowned slightly.
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed and said, "It will take about two months." ā
When Chen Feng and Hongye heard this answer, they couldn't help but be very disappointed. Like such a high-priced piano and it is also the "treasure of the town store", in addition to this Haiyun piano shop, there must be no other piano shops in the city, if you want to buy the same in China, you can only go to other cities to find, which is very laborious.
"Do you have a phone number from that buyer, let's talk to him." I like it when I see the autumn leaves, and I like it myself,
The shopkeeper was about to answer, but when he saw a group of people walking in outside the store, he couldn't help but say: "I really said that Cao Cao Cao is here, he is here." ā
Chen Feng and the three of them looked back, but they all unexpectedly found an acquaintance, it was actually Fang Wenling, next to her was a slightly bald man in his forties, with a majestic face on his face, and the five or six strong men behind him invisibly increased his momentum.
"It's him!" Chao Xiaolan was also a little surprised.
At this time, the shopkeeper had already stepped forward to greet him, and greeted the bald middle-aged man with a smile on his face: "Hello Uncle Fang!" Then he looked at Fang Wenling, "Wenling, you look much better." ā
It seems that the shopkeeper knows Fang Wenling, and this middle-aged man is undoubtedly the boss of the Kangqian Group, Fang Wenling's father Fang Kangqian.
Fang Kangqian's father and daughter just nodded slightly to the shopkeeper, even if they had greeted him. Then, they looked up and saw Chen Feng and the others.
Fang Kangqian also looked very surprised, but Fang Wenling's face suddenly became a little pale.
