Chapter 195 Prepare for Negotiation
In the hotel room, Chen Chufan listened to Ye Feng's speech very seriously.
"Since you have revenge on them, you must think about whether their existence will affect your future. You must take the initiative to find a way to understand their background, and then make your own judgment, whether to temporarily endure peace, or continue to fight. If it is the former, put aside your face and take the initiative to find a way to repair your relationship. If it is the latter, try to find a relationship, use your own power to stomp them, and step on them from the bottom of your heart and fear you and dare not fight you. You should understand if I say that, right?"
"For example, the scene where this incident happened is not in Louis Vuitton's store, but in a crowded occasion, such as a cocktail party, a dinner party, etc., you have to be tougher on the spot and make them lose face. Of course, what I mean by toughness does not mean that you must use your fists to clean up. Violence is always just an auxiliary means to solve problems. Whether to use it requires judging the situation."
"Everything I'm talking about is just an analogy. What you encounter in reality is definitely much more complicated than this. So if you want to become famous, you have to change your simplicity. You have to learn to calculate, learn to be sarcastic, learn to be shameless, and learn to be ruthless." Ye Feng concluded at last.
Ye Feng's words made Chen Chufan fall into deep thought. Although he did not completely agree with what Ye Feng said, he could not help but admit that Ye Feng's words had his own truth. Ye Feng's courage to go crazy and dare to step on others was naturally his own truth. He had a deep background and was confident enough. He was different from him, but since he chose to join the entertainment industry, becoming famous was the only choice.
As Ye Feng said, since you choose to join the entertainment industry, you must become famous. You will never be suitable for the profession of singers and movie stars. Being famous is definitely not as simple as you imagined. Maybe you should really change it. Although it is impossible for you to take head-on measures to solve everything, that is unrealistic, but you should indeed have a set of principles for dealing with things.
When Ye Feng saw Chen Chufan thinking, he knew that Chen Chufan had listened to his words and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction: "Okay, think about it slowly. I'll think about your contract carefully. No matter how you do, you can't spend the more than 200,000 yuan in vain, right? More than one million yuan!"
Ye Feng didn't know how much impact his plausible theories had on a young student whose worldview had not yet been completely fixed. They also added such an alternative and lone superstar to the future entertainment industry.
In one afternoon, Ye Feng was sitting in meditation with Chen Chufan at his desk. His views and attitude towards things are very subjective. A person's personality also lies in his background and long-term living environment, and is related to his friends around him.
But although Chen Chufan is a child from an ordinary working family, he is fortunate to have inherited the alien genes. The genes not only strengthen his brain, his body, and knowledge that he will never be able to touch in his life, but also bring about a series of earth-shaking changes in his life, allowing him to come into contact with a series of people he had never been able to come into contact with before, and doing a series of things he had never dared to think about before.
This made Chen Chufan's personality full of contradictions. He used to be an ordinary student who was quiet and silent so much that he had no sense of existence, but suddenly became a legendary figure in the school. He even seized the opportunity to study abroad. Now he has successfully become famous in Country M. As all kinds of things happen, it is rare to lose himself in a sudden luck, so how could he think too much? Or it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a contradiction between low-key and high-profile combination.
But what Ye Feng said today gave him a clearer understanding of the future. This made him determined to start changing.
One afternoon, the two of them were all busy with their own work, and they were too lazy to go out for dinner, but called to order food directly. After dinner, Chen Chufan lay on the bed and played with his cell phone.
"By the way, I've learned to be slutty since now, isn't it too early?" Chen Chufan suddenly asked Ye Feng, who was still fighting at night. This was the first thing he said today after a long conversation with him.
"It's not young anymore. At this age, you were already a few kids' fathers hundreds of years ago!" Ye Feng looked up at him and began to think hard again.
"By the way, the son of a general of Country Z once took the initiative to sell himself as my agent. When he returned to China, he used this as a promotion. Is it a pretty good gimmick?" Chen Chufan turned over and continued to speak up Ye Feng who was thinking hard.
"Get out! This is a secret! No one is allowed to tell me when I go back!"
The next day, Chen Chufan just got up and received a call from Tom Jackson. The car that came to pick up was already on the way to the hotel. Chen Chufan hung up the phone and looked at the time, and it was only 8:30. It seems that Universal Records really attaches great importance to him.
However, this did not surprise him. What surprised him was that Ye Feng, who had always had to sleep until noon, got up earlier today than him. He had already changed his clothes at this time and was sitting by the bed and reading a book.
"This is not like your style!" Chen Chufan asked in surprise, looking at Ye Feng who looked very energetic.
"I used to be on vacation, so of course I had to have a vacation mentality. Today I had to do things, and of course I had to have a mindset of doing things. Why did you get up so late today? Didn't sleep well yesterday?" Ye Feng closed the book in his hand and threw it on the bed.
"Well, I'm thinking about things a little late." After answering simply, Chen Chufan began to run into the bathroom and busy. When he prepared everything, Tom Jackson came to pick him up and went downstairs of the hotel.
The special car took the two directly to Broadway Avenue.
Broadway Avenue is also in Manhattan, and is synonymous with modern American singing and dancing art and American entertainment industry. Every year, millions of tourists from all over the world come to New York to enjoy Broadway operas. Universal Records' American subsidiary, New York Universal Entertainment Production Company, is located on this art-filled avenue.
As soon as he got off the car, Tom Jackson was already waiting at the company's gate.
"Good morning, Chen. You look good today." Tom Jackson smiled and greeted, enthusiastically stretched out his right hand and shook Chen Chufan.
"Good morning, Mr. Jackson. This is my friend Feng Ye, and my current agent. Today he will discuss the signing of the contract with you on my behalf." Chen Chufan said politely and introduced Ye Feng beside him to Tom Jackson.
"Oh! Good morning, Ye. I hope we can have a happy cooperation!" Tom Jackson greeted Ye Feng.
"Of course, Mr. Jackson, we will definitely be happy in cooperation. Whether you are happy or me, you should always have someone to be happy!" Ye Feng's face showed a strange smile.
"Haha, Mr. Ye Feng is so um, so humorous!" After hearing Ye Feng's answer, Tom Jackson paid more attention to Ye Feng's eyes. The slightest slightest feeling that Chen Chufan had just found such a young friend to be an agent was immediately taken back. Years of experience in this industry made Tom Jackson feel that this Z person named Ye Feng was definitely not as easy to deal with as he was.
After a simple greeting, Tom Jackson took the two directly to the company's building. Today is Sunday. Except for the two security guards at the door, there are basically no one to work, and the whole building looks particularly deserted. Tom Jackson specially chose a weekend to discuss the signing matters, and Tom Jackson had no choice but to do it.
Chen Chufan's performance at the premiere of "Pretty Woman" yesterday was remarkable, and the boy said in public that he would release a new single soon, which aroused the interest of many companies. As far as he knew, Warner and EDA, a world-renowned record company that is as famous as the world, have begun to find ways to get in touch with this Z boy. Especially Warner Records, which spent money to acquire M Country Online, is a large part of the reason for the sales miracle of this Z boy's singles on the Internet.
Now Chen Chufan announced in public that he would release a new single soon, which of course made Warner value this kid more. So Tom Jackson really didn't dare to continue to drag on, fearing that there would be more dreams. If Chen Chufan was attracted by other companies with generous conditions, he would not be able to handle the work like the company's directors.
The contract was negotiated in a small conference room on the third floor of the company building. There was an oval log piano-painted conference table in the middle. There were six stools neatly placed around the table. On the right corner of the conference room was a black leather sofa that could accommodate three people. The room was not big, but it was enough for negotiation.
When Tom Jackson brought Chen Chufan and Ye Feng into the conference room, there were already two staff members in the room. However, Chen Chufan ignored so much. After Tom Jackson's brief introduction, Chen Chufan held Qiuqiu on his own and went to the sofa in the conference room, took out a magazine from his bag and quietly looked through it. He handed over the other things to Ye Feng. He said that 200,000 US dollars can't be spent in vain.
"Mr. Jackson, let's not talk too much nonsense, just start! I want to take a look at the contract drafted by your company first." Ye Feng sat on the stool and said straight to the point, showing a calm and sophistication that is not consistent with his age.
"Okay, Mr. Ye." Tom Jackson nodded, and naturally some staff members delivered the contract they had prepared to Ye Feng.
Then no one was talking in the entire conference room. Tom Jackson wanted to talk to Chen Chufan, but when he saw Chen Chufan flipping through the magazine and looking at it with relish, he finally gave up on this idea. So the entire conference room became extremely quiet, and there was no other sound except for the occasional "rustling" sound when flipping through the paper.
