After a long while, Adams said, "Mr. Chen, these conditions you have offered are really ...... It's really unacceptable, even if you are very good, I admit this, but as soon as you sign a contract, you ask for 60% of the net profit in the first three years and 80% of the net profit in the last three years, which is beyond the requirements of those first-line singers...... We can't say yes...... If you are really sincere, I can accept the proportional distribution of the first three years, four or six, and the last three years, which is already the biggest concession of our company...... Other identities are kept secret and no publicity is required, which is also very inconsistent with the interests of our record company...... I can promise you that our company will keep your identity confidential, but when the publicity work is necessary, you still have to do it, and I can only promise you to try not to let you come forward to do the publicity in person. ”

Adams's response made Chen Feng very satisfied. One of the reasons why he didn't announce his true identity at the beginning was to let himself personally inspect the young CEO's ability, and of course, he didn't want to swagger all over the world as the boss behind Huateng. In fact, the entire Jupiter Record Company is his, and this distribution of benefits is nothing more than his own left and right pockets, which side has more and which side has less, it is all his own money.

Chen Feng pretended to think about it for a while, and said: "Mr. Adams, I see that you are so sincere, then I will accept the distribution of benefits you proposed, but unless I am willing, I will not do propaganda work, believe me, even if I don't do publicity, my fame can quickly become popular in the United States." ”

Adams was a little disgusted by Chen Feng's overconfidence, but he also knew it. With the song he listened to just now, it is not difficult for Chen Feng to become famous, but I don't know how famous he will be by then, if he wants to become a big star, this requires the company to comprehensively package and promote him, but he does not accept this. It really made him a little frustrated.

Adams said with a sincere face: "Mr. Chen, although I also know that you are very talented in music. But the current era is an era of packaging and publicity, like those third-rate singers, as long as the entertainment company comprehensively packages and promotes them, they are very likely to become famous overnight and become big stars. So, when necessary, you must come out and do the packaging and publicity. As long as you bring a mask when you arrive. I'm sure not many people will recognize you. ”

Chen Feng really thought about it this time before he replied: "Okay, I agree with your point of view, but I can only promise to do publicity work once a year, and I have the right to refuse the company's arrangement." This is already my bottom line, if you still can't say yes, I can only talk to another record company. ”

Adams was really afraid that the cooked duck would fly, so he hurriedly agreed, "OK." Okay, I promise you. ”

Adams has been completely conquered by Chen Feng's song "FarawayFromHome" just now, and he believes that with this song alone, and Chen Feng's handsome appearance, it is impossible not to become famous, and he already plans to promote Chen Feng, a new star, to become the company's number one cash cow.

Because there is already a draft of the contract. After more than an hour of negotiation between the two parties, Chen Feng officially signed a contract with Jupiter Records, represented by Adams, for the first six years, and after six years, Jupiter Records has the right of first refusal.

After signing the contract, Chen Feng said his plan: "Mr. Adams, since the contract has been signed, I hope to release a single to warm up first, two months later." I'm officially releasing my debut album. ”

Adams hesitated. Ben immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay! Your first single is not just this song." ”

Chen Feng shook his head. "My first single was another song called 'All Sun', which was an R*B style song. ”

"R*B?" Adams couldn't help frowning, because the people who play R*B in the United States are generally black, and those who sing well are also black, and a yellow Asian who lives in the American cultural circle, and even outside the European and American cultural circles, sings R*B.

"Mr. Chen, I think your dance music style is very good, why don't you choose this one?"

Chen Feng thought to himself, why didn't he choose this one? Of course, it's because if "All the Sun" doesn't start singing now, it won't be mine next year.

"Mr. President, I know your doubts, but let's wait until you finish listening to this song "All the Sun" first. Chen Feng said, took out another CD from his backpack and handed it to him.

Adams took it again curiously, swapped out the previous CD, and pressed play.

“Yo,yo

……”

The authentic American black melody, the strong rhythm of multiple syncopations, and the integration of fashion and pop elements in the music, rap, hip-hop, and funk, make people completely feel the authentic American black pop music.

Ouyang Chong and Zhang Hanjie don't live in the United States, and they don't feel anything about this song, but Adams is an authentic American who was born and raised in the United States, plus he has worked in a record company for more than ten years, and of course he knows a lot about black music in the United States.

When the song ended, Adams stood still for a moment. Cai asked with a shocked face, "Is this ...... Mr. Chan...... Please forgive me for taking the liberty of this song, really...... Is it really your own creation?"

Chen Feng nodded again as a matter of course: "Yes, it was after I came into contact with some black music in the United States, I was inspired and created it with my heart." ”

"This ...... It's incredible! It's a miracle! Oh my God! You're so young, you can't put into words how great you are. Chen Feng, I believe in you. In the near future, I will definitely become an amazing singer!"

Adams said excitedly.

"Thank you, for your compliment, if you can, I would like to start recording this single this afternoon. Aim to complete the later production within five days. I guess that's fine. ”

"No! no problem!" Adams hurriedly agreed.

"I'll come back at two o'clock in the afternoon, and hopefully you'll have a ready one by then. Chen Feng said, and generously handed the score of "All the Sun" that had been prepared to Adams, and took back his two CDs just now.

Chen Feng and Zhang Hanjie said goodbye to Adams first, but Ouyang Chong was retained by Adams.

"Mr. Ouyang, how did you find such a genius Oriental boy?" asked Adams with a curious face.

The boss told him first, of course, Ouyang Chong couldn't reveal Chen Feng's identity, so he could only say: "He is the son of a friend of mine." I have been very fond of music since I was a child, and I heard my friend say that he was interested in releasing records, so I brought him to try it, but I didn't expect him to sing so well by mistake. ”

Adams said happily: "Mr. Ouyang, such a good thing as today. You should stumble a few more times in the future, and then our record company will make a fortune. I can tell you unequivocally that this Chen Feng will bring great wealth to our company. He is so talented that he may even become a legendary singer like M.J, and we at Jupiter Records may become a big company like Universal and Time Warner. ”

Ouyang Chong saw that Adams, who was usually strict and unusual, was so excited, but he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and thought: It seems that our boss is really a genius!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng arrived at Jupiter Records on time, and Adams and Ouyang Chong personally greeted him at the gate. But. This time, Chen Feng has already brought standard equipment peaked caps and big sunglasses. covered up his original handsome appearance.

Under the personal leadership of Adams, Chen Feng and his entourage came to the recording studio, six bodyguards stayed outside the door, and Hongye, Zhang Hanjie, and Ouyang Chong followed into the recording studio.

"Chen Feng, everything is ready, the recording engineer and chorus are all top personnel. Adams said proudly.

Chen Feng also nodded with satisfaction.

Because of the secrecy of his identity, Adams did not introduce Chen Feng to several people in the control room. Of course, Chen Feng himself didn't bother to introduce it.

Walking into the recording studio, he nodded to the three black men who sang in unison, and said hello.

This R*B style tune is simple and simple, but it is a little difficult to sing it well and grasp the sense of rhythm, although Chen Feng is already familiar with this tune, but he has also sung it five or six times in a row, and it is a full afternoon of tossing before it can be regarded as passing.

Adams was very satisfied with the recording effect this time, and after coming out of the recording studio, Adams said enthusiastically: "Chen Feng, to celebrate, I invite you to dinner." ”

Chen Feng couldn't refuse, so he nodded carelessly.

I thought Adams would take them to the restaurant, but unexpectedly, Adams took them home directly. A typical American middle-class home, a one-story two-story villa with a lawn in front of the door.

Adams's family members are simple, including a mother in her fifties, an ordinary-looking wife, and a five-year-old daughter with big eyes, and when she sees Momiji, she immediately sticks to her, and Momiji is also very close to the little girl, chatting with her in broken English.

It was his mother, Barbara, who should have been informed beforehand, that the dinner was well prepared, and that she had even made them a large pot of turkey to give them a taste of the American holiday spirit.

This dinner can be described as a joy for the guests and hosts, and Chen Feng and the others have round stomachs.

Before parting, Adams' daughter Emily is reluctant to give up on Momiji, and gives Momiji her favorite doll to Momiji to come back next time. And Momiji didn't return the gift for a while, so he promised to buy a gift next time to come and see her. This made Emily look forward to it, and she also hooked up with Momiji.

Of course, Chen Feng knew in his heart that the reason why Adams invited him to his house this time was obviously interpersonal public relations, trying to increase their friendship with each other, and I have to say that his method worked very well, because her daughter and his wife had become friends. It seems that after Adams became the CEO, he was no longer unpopular, at least he knew how to build good interpersonal relationships and attract people.

In the next few days, because of the red leaves, Chen Feng would also go to Adams's house with her every time to visit Emily. Since Hongye bought her an illustrated version of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" and "Harry Potter", she has become more and more attached to Hongye, so much so that several times Chen Feng and Hongye went out for sightseeing, they had to bring her as a drag oil bottle, which made Chen Feng have a headache.

Three days later, Karina flew from New York to Los Angeles to see him in her busy schedule, which surprised Chen Feng. Because he didn't ask Karina to come to Los Angeles.

When I saw Karina again, Karina seemed to be more dazzling than before, and she also looked more elegant and peerless, even Chen Feng, a hard-hearted person, couldn't help but secretly swallow a mouthful of saliva when he saw it, and at the same time felt a little jealous in his heart that he could get this man who was rated as the most touching woman in the United States in the future.

The two sides met in the room of the Four Seasons Hotel, and Karina began to report to Chen Feng in English about her recent work, mainly the current income, which has greatly exceeded Chen Feng's expectations, and at the same time, the two exchanged views on the future situation of many technology companies in the United States, such as Microsoft and Cisco.

After the business discussion, Karina said in Xiuzhou's hometown dialect: "Boss, after this acquisition in the United States, I asked for a month's vacation, and I plan to go back to Xiuzhou's hometown with my mother." At that time, you, a capitalist, will have to do your best to be a landlord. ”

Chen Feng smiled a little embarrassedly, he was really a capitalist, and he squeezed a lot of the surplus value of Karina's employee.

"No problem, eat, drink and have fun then, I will serve you all the time. ”

"Okay, then we'll settle it. Karina smiled brightly.

While watching TV, Momiji, said Karina in Xiuzhou's hometown, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sister Karina, I listen to your accent like the accent of Luo'an City over there, ** Mom was originally from Luo'an?"

"yes. My ancestral home is Luoan, however, she was born in France, and my grandparents are both from Luoan, and they smuggled to Hong Kong when they were **, and then came to France from Hong Kong. Unfortunately, now they are all gone. Karina didn't hide it, the ancestors smuggled out everything.

Momiji said apologetically, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't expect your grandparents to be so amazing. ”

Karina said generously, "It's okay. After a pause, he continued, "My mother has always wanted to go back to my grandparents' hometown, but unfortunately she has never had the opportunity to make the trip, and this time, I plan to fulfill her wish." ”

"Sister, you are really a filial daughter. I'm sticking with you. When the time comes, please come to my house with your ** mother. Momiji warmly invited.

"Okay, no problem. Karina smiled and agreed.

Then, the two girls talked more and more speculatively in their hometown, and in the end, Karina lived in the same room with Hongye just now, and sent Chen Feng to another room set by Karina.
