Tina said it very directly. In other words, this is basically how Westerners speak, without so many twists and turns.
In other words, the boss Chen Feng has no airs and a lot of magnanimity. Otherwise, Tina's words alone would be enough to put her under the thumb of the boss Chen Feng.
"I have never learned to rap before. But it's not too late for me to start learning now. I think it shouldn't be too difficult. After all, the lyrics are all ready-made. As long as you rap well, it will be easier than singing an opera."
"Rap music is actually not as easy to learn as everyone thinks. In other words, it is very difficult to learn it well."
Chen Feng said angrily: "You just look down on my boss's rap skills?"
Tina also realized that her tone was not good, she stuck out her tongue and said, "I don't think you're not good, but I'm worried that you can't perform the rap part of this song well. You know, the rap part of this song
It’s much more important than the chorus part I sang.”
"Don't worry. I wrote this song. I won't ruin my song. You'll know when we record together. Give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll find someone else to do the rapping.
Just part of it. Or I can change the song for you."
"This song is so good that I don't want to change it. The most I can do is change the singer. I think jiz is very good. Don't you know him? Beyoncé is also friends with him."
Jiy is the king of rap, but in recent years he has mainly been doing behind-the-scenes work in the company and has had fewer singing activities. However, basically there are new albums coming out within a year or two, and the sales are pretty good.
Jiy has great influence among the black community in the United States and is recognized as one of the most prestigious black celebrities in the entertainment industry. As a black person, Beyoncé naturally hopes to cooperate with a black rap king like Jiy.
There was no chance before, and there were some differences in their identities. But now she is fully qualified to cooperate with jiz.
And if you collaborate with jiy on this song, you can also use jiy's fame to boost your own album sales.
Tina's idea is very good, but Chen Feng definitely cannot agree. He is very aware of the huge fame and influence that this song will bring after its release. If he cannot sing it, he will not be able to take advantage of outsiders.
More importantly, Jiy is now considered a business competitor with him. After all, Jiy is now also a senior executive of an entertainment company, and he also pursued Beyoncé before. If it weren't for Chen Feng, maybe Beyoncé would
He succeeded. It can be said that he is Chen Feng's love rival. Of course, this love rival is mixed with water. After all, Beyoncé is not her girlfriend. However, Beyoncé has now given birth to a daughter for him.
.
Even though Chen Feng didn't care very much in his heart, he still felt a little uncomfortable, especially when he thought that his biological daughter would call another man daddy in the future. He must have felt a little uncomfortable.
"This is a classic song. It's impossible for you to ask me to sing it for others." Chen Feng refused firmly, "Even if I don't sing well, I will only let my own people sing it.
It must be a singer signed by our company or someone from other interested parties. Otherwise, giving such a song to others to sing is equivalent to giving him a mountain of gold. Don’t forget that Jiy is now the CEO of an entertainment company.
, is in competition with our beautiful ladies. So, if you want to collaborate with Jiy, it’s not impossible, but this song definitely won’t work.”
Tina was silent for a while and then said: "Okay. I respect your decision. However, what I want to say is that Jiy is very famous now. He is the king of rap. If we cooperate with him, we will only
It's me who takes advantage of him, not him who takes advantage of me."
Chen Feng laughed and said: "You are too underestimated the influence this song may have in the future. Believe it or not, if this song is released in the future, it will be your most popular song, and it will also be
Will it be the most influential song?"
Tina was a little surprised and said: "Do you really think so highly of this song?"
"Of course." Chen Feng said with a firm tone, "This will be a very classic song. Your other songs may not be popular in a few years. But I think this song will be popular in ten years.
If you cover it again, it will still be popular, and everyone will remember it. This is the charm of classic songs."
"Okay. I believe what you said. So when do you plan to start recording my album?"
"After you come back this time, start reducing the announcements. Especially those announcements that are not very profitable, and focus on recording songs. Of course, if the announcement fees are more, you can still continue to accept them. We have more than a month
It’s totally enough time to record songs.”
"Okay. Let's start recording songs when I get back to the company this time."
…
After Chen Feng hung up the phone with Tina, he called Beyoncé.
"Honey, what do you say?" Beyoncé's tone was cheerful, and it was the first time she called him honey. She was obviously in a happy mood.
Chen Feng didn't feel awkward when he heard her call him that. Maybe it was because she even gave birth to a child for him.
However, of course Chen Feng would not respond to her. He just pretended not to hear anything and went straight to the point: "I have already told Tina. She agreed. Her new album will also be released next month. However, it will be released next month."
At the end of the month, when will your album be released?"
Beyoncé said: "I knew she would agree. My album was originally scheduled to be released on February 19th, but I can adjust it based on yours."
"That's not necessary. Just release it on this date. Tina's plan is to postpone the release by one week at the latest, which is February 28th. However, it should be on February 24th and 5th. Look at us
It depends on the specific recording situation."
"Okay. There is no problem on my side. There are also two songs you wrote for me. I have already shown them to my agent and company executives. They are very satisfied. They said they can send a lawyer there now.
Your company signed a contract with you. Do you think there is time?"
"So fast?" Chen Feng was a little surprised.
Beyoncé smiled slightly proudly and said: "I am now the company's number one. My new album is now the company's top priority. And the two songs you wrote for me are of really high quality. I just released them here."
In the past few minutes, they immediately decided to officially get these two songs. They were also afraid that you would regret it, so they had to sign the contract with you as soon as possible."
"It seems that your company really values you now. One million dollars for a song, it's ready to go." Chen Feng said with a hint of ridicule.
After Beyoncé chuckled twice, she said: "So, I can't jump to your company. Both the senior management and the agent in my current company are very good to me, and the last time I was pregnant, the agent and
The senior management of the company helped me hide it, and after more than half a year of rest, they did not make things difficult for me."
"I understand. I don't mean to force you to change jobs. Besides, I can't afford your sky-high liquidated damages. Don't put any psychological burden on you."
Hearing what Chen Feng said, Beyoncé smiled happily: "Can you understand? It's not that I don't want to jump to your company, but that I can't."
In fact, Chen Feng really didn't want to poach her. After all, there are already Tina and Blainey in the company. If she is added to the company, although it is okay, it will probably make her and Tina dislike each other.
It will be very comfortable. Both of them are queens, and both are black beauties. It is difficult for beautiful beauties to balance a bowl of water.
"Okay, let's not talk about it. Now that the album release is settled, it's decided. If your company wants to sign the copyright licensing contract for the two songs, let him send someone to my house. I'll wait for the address.
I’ll send you a text message later.”
"Is that the hilltop villa you bought from director Marcia?" Beyoncé asked.
"Yes. Did Landa tell you that?"
"Yes. In fact, she doesn't need to tell you that Marcia's mountaintop villa has been bought by you. It has already spread throughout the Hollywood circle. Marcia's villa has been considered by many big stars before, but the price is really a bit high.
Gao. Those people have been hesitating, and in the end they were bought by you."
"Well, let's put it this way first. I still have to write a script."
Chen Feng actually doesn't want to talk to Beyoncé anymore. This is almost a subconscious behavior. It's not that he doesn't like it. But he feels that if the conversation continues like this, the entanglement will gradually become deeper and deeper. This is not what Chen Feng wants.
Even though the two of them have given birth to a daughter now, at least Chen Feng feels that when he is sober, he has not done anything to regret Landa.
Beyoncé is a very sensitive woman. She immediately noticed the change in Chen Feng's tone and attitude. Her originally cheerful mood was also affected, and her tone became a little resentful: "Okay. Then you are busy."
The two quickly hung up the phone. Chen Feng immediately texted her his address. Then, he continued to write the script for "Game of Thrones", and time suddenly became faster.
stand up.
When it was almost noon, Chen Feng's cell phone rang. He thought it was from his cousin Zhao Wenxiu asking him to come downstairs for dinner, but it turned out to be Beyoncé.
"We have arrived at the door of your villa. Please open the door of your villa."
As soon as the call was connected, Beyoncé said directly.
"You're here too?" Chen Feng asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to Chicago for a commercial performance?"
Beyoncé said: "The commercial performance only takes a few minutes. I will be back as soon as the performance over there is over."
"Oh, okay. I'll have someone open the door for you."
After saying that, Chen Feng hung up the phone, and then called Liu Jianguo to ask him to open the door. The villa he was living in was obviously a bit big, and there were only two bodyguards, which seemed a bit insufficient. At least two doormen were needed. However, if he wanted to find
It is not easy to find two relatively reliable candidates like Liu Jianguo and Li Dongwei.
And for safety reasons, Chen Feng didn't want to go through them to find their comrades. After all, he couldn't leave the safety of himself and his family to a group of people. If he wanted to expand his security team, he could only find another suitable one.
For the time being, I can only put this matter aside.
When Chen Feng came down from upstairs, Beyoncé and her group also arrived at the door and were getting out of the car. Chen Feng greeted them.
This time, Beyoncé’s people obviously paid more attention to it. A total of four people came. In addition to Beyoncé and her manager Eugene, there was also Daxi, the music director of Beyoncé’s company, and their
lawyer.
After introducing each other, they sat down on the sofa in the living room. At this time, Catherine took the initiative to bring tea to everyone. Beyonce, including Beyoncé, was a little surprised to see Catherine descending to earth like a fairy.
Seeing this, Chen Feng could only introduce them simply: "This is Catherine, my student, learning piano from me."
"Hello." Catherine smiled and nodded to everyone.
Eugene asked in shock: "Are you the daughter of Director Marcia?"
Catherine nodded politely: "Yes, sir."
Eugene's face was full of surprise, and he hesitated to speak. The reason was simple, because he had many friends, and not long ago he heard someone say that Marcia's daughter, a girl named Catherine, was terminally ill and did not have long to live. But
The way Catherine looks now, she still looks a little sick and terminally ill.
And the person who said that Catherine was terminally ill was a big shot, and it was impossible for him to say such a thing behind his back.
Catherine was very smart, and she immediately guessed the reason why Eugene was hesitant to speak, and asked with a smile: "Do you know my parents?"
Eugene shook his head and said, "I know your parents, but your parents don't know me."
Catherine smiled and said: "Then you must have heard about me?"
Eugene smiled awkwardly and did not answer, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Catherine was very open-minded and said with a smile: "I was in some bad health before. But after being nursed back to health by my teacher for a while, I have slowly recovered."
Eugene then nodded pretending to be enlightened and did not continue the topic with a wink.
Beyoncé quickly brought the topic back: "The two songs Chen Feng wrote for me this time are very good. I think the copyright transfer fee of one million US dollars per song is very reasonable. So, this
This time I came to sign the contract with the person in charge of our company. Chen, take a look."
The accompanying lawyer quickly took out a contract from his briefcase and handed it to Chen Feng for review.
Chen Feng took it and looked at it. The contract was very simple, only three pages. It stated the copyright transfer fee of one million US dollars per song, and also stated that the copyright will be divided into 10% after the song is released. It is considered the best in the industry.
.He didn’t see anything wrong.
However, Chen Feng still said in a business-friendly manner: "I looked it over and there shouldn't be any problem. However, my lawyer will be here soon. Please wait a moment. After he looks over it, we will formally sign the contract.
"
No one has any objections to Chen Feng's decision, including Beyoncé. Their Western society attaches great importance to contracts. Therefore, you usually need to consult a professional lawyer before signing a contract.
The few of them drank tea and chatted for a while, and just a few minutes later, Chen Feng's special lawyer Larred arrived. After he saw that there were no problems, Chen Feng officially signed the contract.
