Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

Zhu Yonghe's reply came faster than expected. Chen Feng and An Ruohua had just had lunch when the phone call came in.

"Mr. Chen, the company has agreed to your request. May I ask if it is not convenient for you to come to the company to sign a contract this afternoon?"

Chen Feng thought about it, and he had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he agreed.

If I signed a copyright agency agreement with Music New Starting Point earlier, Music New Starting Point would be able to help me negotiate with the TV drama crew.

This is a good thing!

Zhu Yonghe was also very happy. Originally, he thought that Chen Feng's request was a little too much, and the senior leaders might not approve it. However, he didn't expect that the leaders approved this unique contract after discussing it for only ten minutes.

In fact, the reason is very simple, the song "Ordinary Song" is so good, so good that the leaders felt that Chen Feng could be allowed to modify the contract!

What's more, since Chen Feng can write "Song of Ordinary People", he may write better works in the future. In any case, there must be nothing wrong with building a good relationship with Chen Feng first.

Even if Chen Feng doesn't release songs at New Beginning of Music in the future, the two sides will always have the opportunity to cooperate with this "Ordinary Song" copyright agency contract.

...

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng and An Ruohua came to the headquarters of Music New Starting Company.

The location of the headquarters is in the Xinqidian Building on the North Third Ring Road of Kyoto City. The distance is not too far, and it takes only ten minutes by taxi.

An Ruohua also followed. After all, signing a contract is very important, and she must stay by Chen Feng's side.

When they arrived at the New Starting Point Building, a vice president of the company took Zhu Yonghe downstairs to greet him. After seeing Chen Feng, the other party came forward to shake hands and greet him warmly.

"This is Mr. Cheng of the company. He is in charge of content. Mr. Cheng likes your "Song of Ordinary People" very much." Zhu Yonghe introduced beside him.

"Hello, Mr. Cheng." Chen Feng shook hands with the other party, with a calm and indifferent expression.

Mr. Cheng is about forty years old, he is in good shape and looks energetic.

"Hello, Chen Feng, I didn't expect you to be so young, it turns out that a hero is a boy!"

After a few polite words, the two parties came to the meeting room upstairs.

The contract had already been prepared, Chen Feng and An Ruohua each read it twice, and found nothing wrong.

Scratch...Chen Feng signed his name neatly.

"Happy cooperation!" Zhu Yonghe smiled happily.

The conversation that followed was much more relaxed. Mr. Cheng talked about the promotion plan for "Ordinary Song" and asked Chen Feng if he had any new works. With Zhu Yonghe gagging at the side, the atmosphere was quite pleasant Fairly pleasant.

Half an hour later, Mr. Cheng left due to business, and Chen Feng also got up to leave.

However, Zhu Yonghe stopped him again.

"Mr. Chen, please wait a little longer. Around four o'clock, people from the TV drama crew will come over to talk about buying songs. If possible, I hope you can attend in person."

Chen Feng was taken aback, and said with a smile: "Hehe, your timing is really accurate. After signing the contract with me, I immediately went to talk with the TV crew. The connection is really perfect."

Zhu Yonghe smiled, and said with some embarrassment: "There is no way, the company needs us to produce results, besides, this is not a bad thing, let us talk about it for you, you just need to listen to it, and leave those nonsense matters to us Do it, and you'll have a lot of trouble left."

"It's true..." Chen Feng nodded indifferently: "Then let's wait for a while."

...

During the waiting time, several company staff members sneaked up to ask Chen Feng for his signature, which made Chen Feng dumbfounded.

When I was the bass player in the horizontal and vertical band, some loyal fans asked them for autographs, but the most popular ones at that time were lead singer Zhen Jian and guitarist Yang Luo.

His bass player and drummer Zhang Yu are the most easily overlooked existences.

Zhang Yu is okay, he looks cool, and his drumming moves are also very handsome. Occasionally, some fans like him, but Chen Feng is almost completely ignored. Who makes his bass have the least sense of existence, and he looks like It's a little too mediocre.

Therefore, Chen Feng felt a little happy when he saw that some fans came to him on their own initiative.

"Wow, you are Chen Feng, you are so young... I thought that the one who could write "Song of Ordinary People" must be a middle-aged uncle who disregards the world..." A young girl who looked like she just graduated and started working, Hong With a straight face, he handed Chen Feng a notebook.

Chen Feng shrugged, and signed his name in a smooth manner.

"Thank you. Excuse me...can...can you give me your contact information?" The little girl blushed even more.

Er... Chen Feng shook his head and said: "I can't do it, but I can give you my girlfriend's phone number, if you need anything, you can contact her..."

Chen Feng glanced at An Ruohua who was looking at him warily.

Hearing this, the little girl was stunned for a moment, then she lowered her head and walked away quickly.

"Yo, I didn't expect that your love luck is quite prosperous now..." An Ruohua teased.

Chen Feng gave her a white look: "Don't make trouble, I don't care about such luck, haven't you seen it, I've already pushed it to you."

"Bah, I don't care too much!" An Ruohua shook her head: "But in the future, don't always reject your fans so bluntly, after all, you are your fans, and you have to consider their feelings... You know, In the entertainment industry, fan management is a very important event."

"It's boring, I'm too tired..." Chen Feng shook his head repeatedly.

...

After waiting until around 4:30, the talent from the TV drama crew finally appeared.

Because of being late, Zhu Yonghe first apologized to Chen Feng and An Ruohua, and then brought them to a larger conference room.

As soon as she walked in, An Ruohua was stunned, because she actually saw two people she knew.

One is a well-known director, Lin Ming, and at the same time, he is also the director of the crew of the TV drama she is about to audition for!

The other is Su Jinxiu, a popular actress in the film and television industry who lives in the same community as her!

How did they appear here?

Wait, do you want to buy the TV drama crew of "Song of Ordinary People", that is the work that Lin Ming is about to shoot?

What a coincidence!

Sensing An Ruohua's strangeness, Chen Feng took her hand and asked nervously: "An An, what's wrong with you? Is there any discomfort?"

Hearing Chen Feng's voice, Lin Ming and Su Jinxiu also turned around together.

When seeing An Ruohua and Chen Feng, Su Jinxiu laughed first.

"Haha, what a coincidence, it's you guys!"

...

"So that's the case, I didn't expect everyone to be so destined!"

After listening to Su Jinxiu's explanation, Lin Ming realized that Chen Feng and An Ruohua actually lived in the same community as her, and the two actually met each other.

Although An Ruohua had calmed down at this time, she was still a little excited.

"Sister Su, it turned out that you noticed us that day, hahaha, that's great, actually I recognized you that day, but I was afraid to disturb you, so I didn't dare to say hello to you, I didn't expect to meet you again today Yes, it's really great, I like your scenes very much!" An Ruohua sat next to Su Jinxiu, and said very happily.

"Really? Thank you for liking me. In fact, you are also good at acting. You are very serious and have great potential. Keep working hard!" Su Jinxiu said while holding An Ruohua's hand.

The two women chatted quickly, and the chat became more and more vigorous, as if they had endless things to say, and they didn't know how they could talk so well when they were new acquaintances.

With this special relationship, the subsequent negotiations became much easier. Lin Ming directly asked the assistant he brought to discuss the specific copyright purchase details with Zhu Yonghe, while he himself chatted with Chen Feng.

"Xiao Chen, I didn't expect you to be so young. When I finished listening to "Song of Ordinary People" for the first time, I thought the author was an old guy who was nearly fifty years old, but you turned out to be young. It's incredible, it's incredible... Your talent and talent are really rare in the world!"

Hearing that Lin Ming, a great director, had such a high opinion of him, Chen Feng felt ashamed for a while.

"Director Lin won the award. For things like writing songs, look at the inspiration. When the inspiration comes, the emotion comes, and things will come out naturally. I dare not say what kind of talent it is..."

"Well, it's modest enough, and the younger generation is awesome!"

Lin Ming was silent for a moment, then continued with a smile on his face: "Actually, I came here to talk about the theme song in person this time, just to get to know you, the author of "Song of Ordinary People". I like this song very much. A TV series can’t have only one theme song, but also needs many episodes and soundtracks. My idea is, since you can write a classic work like "Song of Ordinary People", can you help me write some songs of the same level? Don’t worry, the price I won't treat you badly."

Uh...Chen Feng never expected that Lin Ming would ask for help in writing a new song. He thought for a moment and said, "Director Lin, writing a song really depends on inspiration, and there is no guarantee that the song you write will reach the What level, but I can give it a try... I just don't know, do you have any requirements, Director Lin? For example, the style of music? Or the theme?"

Hearing Chen Feng's answer, Lin Ming's eyes lit up, and he said, "I don't understand the style of music, and I don't make any demands. You just play according to your own ideas... As for themes, I do have two very important themes here. .”

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ming slowly said: "The first theme is reunion after a long absence... Well, in my drama plot, the male and female protagonists will be separated for a period of time, and finally they will meet again. What I want is That feeling of calmness and anxiety, anticipation and fear, familiarity and strangeness when we are about to meet... I don’t know if you can understand it.”

Chen Feng nodded and said, "I can understand."

"Very good!" Lin Ming became even more excited.

"The second theme is confusion... I hope there is a song that can describe the feeling of a person wandering alone on the street after failure, looking at the bustling city, confused, hesitant, lost, but not reconciled. Emotions... This song is very important, because it will be the emotional foreshadowing for the protagonist's comeback... Can you feel this feeling?"

Chen Feng nodded again and said, "I can understand."

Lin Ming was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng's eyes were serious and his attitude was very sincere.

It seems...he can really do it!
