Chang Lingyu cherished this opportunity to cooperate with Chen Feng. Originally, she did not expect to get a second song from Chen Feng, but after knowing that the relationship between Chen Feng and Meng Tingting was not that deep and solid, she
Can't help but want to give it a try.
And the result was that she succeeded. She succeeded in getting Chen Feng to agree to write a second song for her.
At this moment, Chang Lingyu was really excited, as if she had won a big prize. Because it was not just a matter of two songs, but it also proved her previous guess: the relationship between Chen Feng and Meng Tingting was not that deep.
So, this means that she can definitely bring Chen Feng to her side. She can even make Chen Feng stop writing songs for Meng Tingting in the future.
She believes that as long as she joins Summit Entertainment, her position as the top sister in the music industry will be unshakable. She does not believe that Meng Tingting can still produce an album comparable to "Conquer" after losing the support of a talented musician like Chen Feng.
After Chang Lingyu and Chen Feng agreed on the second song, she did not leave immediately, but stayed for almost half an hour, mainly to try out the song "I Do" live and let Chen Feng make corrections.
After all, she had received two million from the other party, and it looked like she might sign with his own company. Of course, Chen Feng patiently gave his own guidance on this song.
After Chang Lingyu left reluctantly, Chen Feng finally had time to eat, and then went back to the room to take a shower. As for leaving food again, Chen Feng was too lazy to do it. It was obvious that Chang Lingyu was very interested in the four dishes and one soup.
Don't like it very much.
The second song promised to her, Chen Feng has decided to give her "Unrepentant", which is also a quite classic song. After all, her personal temperament and voice are very consistent with the original sister Fei, plus
She is very likely to sign a contract with her own company, and Chen Feng has no reason to be stingy.
Chen Feng sent "Unrepentant" to Chang Lingyu the next night, and the contract was signed via fax. While Chen Feng received another two million, he also received Chang Lingyu's heartfelt gratitude again.
As she said before, she was only 20 to 30% sure at most that the new album she had worked so hard to create could beat Meng Tingting's "Conquer", but now with these two songs tailor-made for her by Chen Feng,
She felt at least 80% sure, because these two songs were so classic, and especially suited her personal characteristics very well.
After Chang Lingyu hung up the thank you call to Chen Feng, her manager Liu Lijun was a little distracted. At this time, she was very conflicted in her heart. She admitted that Chen Feng's musical skills were indeed unmatched.
Even more impressive than the two music masters from Hunan and Hong Kong who have been famous for decades, at least those two have never written two such classic songs for Chang Lingyu.
But when she found out that Chang Lingyu actually wanted to terminate the contract with Tianhe and even sign a contract with Chen Feng's company, she really couldn't accept it. This was not only directly related to her vital interests, but also a major decision she faced in life.
.
"Lijun, I didn't want to tell you so early because I didn't make up my mind at first. But now that I saw the second song he wrote for me, I have to make up my mind. You
You should know me. My personal pursuit is to become a generation of singers like Deng Xiaoli, who is unique. But I have not yet reached the height of Teacher Deng, and there is even the possibility of being surpassed by Meng Tingting. Therefore, I can no longer hesitate.
Only by holding on to Chen Feng tightly can I achieve my life goal."
"...I still think it's better to be more cautious. He is very talented in music, but who can guarantee that his talent will be inexhaustible. Maybe after a year or two, his creative inspiration and talent will be gone.
"
Chang Lingyu smiled slightly and said: "Lijun, this possibility may be applicable to others, but it definitely cannot be applied to him. I have specifically asked someone to check his information before, and I have learned about him. He has never
It can be said that none of the songs that the bar singer began to compose are bad. Especially the songs that he tailor-made for people can be said to be the first classics, including "Telling You Softly" written for Liu Qinfei, and "Telling You Softly" written for Liu Qinfei.
Five songs for Meng Tingting. And the two songs written for me now. In addition, I plan to leave Tianhe not only because of Chen Feng’s musical talent, but because Tianhe’s behavior this time chills me.
.In addition, Tianhe is now at odds with Chen Feng. If I don’t get out, I will definitely be retaliated by Chen Feng. It’s not like you haven’t experienced how powerful Chen Feng is. You wouldn’t think that Chen Feng would be indifferent when facing Tianhe.
You don’t have the strength to fight back, do you?”
Chang Lingyu was preparing for a new album this time. She originally wanted to use Tianhe's company's resources and favors to collect the songs, but Tianhe was procrastinating and took the opportunity to renew her contract. In fact, the renewal was
There is nothing wrong with the contract, but the renewal conditions given by Tianhe are much lower than the previous contract. The first is reflected in the share of the two parties. As a top singer in the music industry, the contract benefits she enjoyed were of course domestic.
At the top end, the revenue share between both parties is 82% after deducting costs. The company only gets 20%, while Chang Lingyu and her agent Liu Lijun get 80%.
In fact, the agent team led by Liu Lijun also got 20%. Chang Lingyu personally got 60%.
However, Tianhe's contract renewal conditions are directly 73%. Even though it is only a 10% reduction in the share, it involves at least tens of millions in revenue.
The financial loss is secondary, but more importantly, Tianhe Company is adding insult to injury, because they feel that Chang Lingyu is really likely to be kicked off the throne of the top singer in the music industry by Meng Tingting. Therefore, they are confident and want to take the opportunity to blackmail her.
She signed this new contract.
This made both Chang Lingyu and Liu Lijun feel insulted. Their interests were the same. Of course, they both felt a little chilled towards Tianhe Company.
It's just that Liu Lijun also has the identity of being a small shareholder of Tianhe Company, which includes the incentive shares she and Chang Lingyu received seven years after they joined the company, as well as some shares purchased by the two of them, which add up to almost 3.5%, although it is not much.
, but now it has a market value of two to three hundred million. Both of their shares are held by Liu Lijun on behalf of them.
If the two of them terminate their contract with Tianhe Company, the economic losses in this area will be real. Liu Lijun is a little reluctant to part with it.
In addition, Liu Lijun had a bad relationship with Chen Feng before. If Chang Lingyu signed a contract with Summit Entertainment, it seems that nothing would happen to her. Because it is impossible for her to become a minority shareholder of Summit Entertainment. Summit Entertainment has not yet been listed.
And because she had offended Chen Feng before, Chen Feng might not let her continue to be Chang Lingyu's manager.
Of course, Chang Lingyu also knew her concerns. Originally, she was planning to be cruel and not take her to Summit Entertainment. But when she thought that she was the one who brought her out, and the two of them worked hard together, she finally relented.
"Lijun, I understand your concerns. Don't worry, Chen Feng is not a stingy person. Besides, I am also a diva. If I sign a contract with Peak, one of the conditions is that he must accept that you continue to be a singer."
agents, including your agency team. If you are really worried, you and your agency team will not be included in Summit Entertainment. We sign with Summit in the name of the studio. Summit has no right to interfere with the work of our studio. And work
Room, of course it’s up to you to decide.”
Chang Lingyu originally didn't want to sign with Chen Feng's company in the name of the studio, because it was very insincere. Among other things, actress Li Manyu signed with Summit Entertainment in her own name.
But after all, she still relented and didn't want Liu Lijun to look so gloomy.
The two have known each other for such a long time, and Liu Lijun certainly knew what Chang Lingyu was thinking. She shook her head with a wry smile and said, "If you do this, I'm afraid Chen Feng will not agree. I have also known Chen Feng and his company before.
It was discovered that he personally has no intention of listing the company. Because so far, his company is still 100% privately owned by him and does not accept any outside capital. Including Tiandi Pictures, which has a very good cooperative relationship with him.
He has not accepted their investment. It can be seen that his personal desire for exclusivity and control is very strong. It is impossible for him to agree to you signing a contract with his company in the name of the studio. Because if this is the case, we will have a cooperative relationship with him.
"
Chang Lingyu gritted her teeth and said, "At most, we can give him more benefits."
Liu Lijun shook her head and said: "It's impossible. He's not short of money now. What's more important is that if he helps you suppress Meng Tingting, and you turn around and terminate the contract with him, wouldn't he lose a lot? Unless we make a harsh agreement with him.
The conditions for the termination of the contract. Even so, he probably won’t do his best to help you.”
Chang Lingyu was a little upset when she heard this and said: "Okay, okay. We will talk about this later. Anyway, I want to bring you there. We have cooperated for so long, and I hope to be with you from beginning to end."
Liu Lijun smiled and nodded: "I also hope to be with you from beginning to end."
…
Chen Feng did not have much interference from outside media, and with the cooperation of the relevant local departments in Shencheng, the filming went smoothly.
In total, the filming in Shencheng was completed in almost 26 days. The shooting progress was almost three-quarters completed. The next few scenes can be shot back in the capital. After that, the crew only needs to bring a small number of people with them.
You can go to New York to shoot the final scenes.
Chen Feng spent two days finishing the finishing work in Shencheng. The main thing was to visit Deng Xiaoli's house again and express his gratitude to her and Tong Huajun. If Tong Huajun hadn't helped to say hello this time, he would have been here in Shencheng.
The filming won't go so smoothly.
In addition, Deng Xiaoli contributed her voice to the movie "Sweet Honey", which was also a great help to him.
At this time, Deng Xiaoli has finished recording the songs that Chen Feng gave her, and is in post-production. After Chen Feng's film shooting is completed, the production will be almost completed.
When the time comes, it will be handed over to Summit Entertainment for distribution.
After Chen Feng returned to the capital, the crew had already rested for two days. As soon as Chen Feng came back, they started working again. It only took five days to finish filming all the domestic scenes.
Then, Chen Feng selected a dozen people from the crew, including Li Manyu and Zhang Zhi, and planned to fly to New York lightly to shoot the final scene.
The day before leaving, Chen Feng unexpectedly received a call from Meng Tingting. If I remember correctly, the two had not contacted each other for almost two or three months.
"Chen Feng, are you free today? I'd like to invite you out for a meal." Meng Tingting went straight to the point and extended an invitation to Chen Feng.
After Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, he realized what he was doing and refused directly: "I'm sorry, I have to go to New York to film a movie tomorrow. I really don't have time."
After two seconds of silence, he said again: "I won't waste your time. Just tonight, Wang Hang, Hu Fei, and Xiao Fei are all together. It's rare that they are all free today."
Chen Feng didn't expect Wang Hang and the three of them to be together, so he immediately hesitated. After all, he owed Wang Hang a favor. The two had a good relationship before. And this time when he and Li Manyu were involved in the scandal, he was still dedicated
I called him and asked him about it.
However, Chen Feng immediately thought that this dinner party should be called by Meng Tingting. Now his relationship with her is really not that deep, and he has to fly to New York early tomorrow morning, so he really doesn't have much time to go to the dinner party.
.
"I'm really sorry. I have a flight tomorrow morning and I'm currently packing my belongings, including some belongings from the crew and filming plans. I really can't spare the time. Let's wait until I finish filming the movie."
After all, Wang Hang didn't call him personally to invite him, so he really didn't have to wrong himself. Moreover, he had somewhat guessed the reason why Meng Tingting invited him to dinner this time. It was probably because he wrote songs for Chang Lingyu.
Let her know.
Therefore, although he had a clear conscience when he went to the banquet in the past, if Meng Tingting asked about it in front of Wang Hang and others, it would make everyone a little embarrassed. It was better not to go.
"Oh, okay then. It seems that I can't hire a great director like you." Meng Tingting said with a sigh.
"Sorry, I really can't spare the time. Maybe next time. I have something else to do, so I'll just say this first."
After Chen Feng finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly. To be honest, Chen Feng really didn't want to deal with her now. The reason was simple, because he felt that Meng Tingting was ungrateful.
Although he was paid to write songs for her in the first place, and one million yuan per song, the price is quite high. In addition, with a 10% copyright dividend, Chen Feng also received a lot of money.
But this was only about money. In terms of favors, Meng Tingting definitely owed him, and she owed him a lot. Because it was his songs that made her famous again, and even directly challenged the throne of the top sister in the music industry. As a result, Meng Tingting was in
After she became famous again and gained both fame and fortune, she distanced herself from him. This really made Chen Feng's impression of her very bad.
After Meng Tingting hung up the phone with Chen Feng, she was so angry that she slammed her phone on the coffee table, feeling deep regret in her heart.
After she became famous again this time, she did distance herself from Chen Feng intentionally or unintentionally. The reason is very simple, because she listened to her agent's slander.
