This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 196 Why does this name appear in this place?
"Have you been notified?"

Chen Li frowned, looked at the others at the table, and lowered his voice a little: "We have already been notified, why are you still contacting us? Is our notification not sufficient?"

It was obvious that everyone else at the party was focused on the food itself and had no interest in the internal affairs of their production team.

It's so hard to have a meal in such a high-end restaurant, who cares about those things?
Even if something unexpected really happened, they were in an advantageous position with the song in hand. The worst that could happen was that they would just not cooperate with this production team.

If you have good works, I'll find other places to stay if they're not welcome here!

So, there is nothing to worry about, just eat.

It’s not too late to sign the contract after the production team has dealt with all the issues themselves.

With the cooperation of his partners, Chen Li's suddenly nervous mood relaxed a lot - it would be bad if these college students had any unnecessary misunderstandings.

The Wudong Group has a history of doing this.

Interfere and disrupt other people's work so that collaborators are forced to cooperate with them.

In order to eliminate this hidden danger, the production team had to be careful.

These college students are just starting out and may not understand many things... This also goes for Xu Feng and the girl next to him who looks a little too delicate.

"You refused twice and you still called me?"

Chen Li thought about it carefully, then looked at the others uncertainly: "They don't think we are bluffing and trying to get a better price, do they?"

The others thought about it and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

It seems that there is such a possibility.

They have been too busy during this period and haven't thought about anything like this.

"I guess the worst result they expect is that we find a barely acceptable song at a low price and plan to sign a contract?" Chen Li sneered, "So Gu Jun is still fantasizing about lowering the price of his work and impressing us again?"

"Well, to be honest, Director...if I were in his position, I would probably think the same." The person in charge of music production laughed, "Who would have thought that a group of college students could come up with such a good work in such a short time?"

"I think the gold medal composer senior played a bigger role here." Chen Li nodded and glanced at Xu Feng again, "Now I can't wait to know who this person is."

This cooperation may establish the foundation for the next cooperation.

Having such a collaborator is at least much better than spending a large amount of money and getting ripped off, or spending so much time trying to get a small thing done but still failing.

“So, how do we respond to them?”

Chen Li thought for a moment and said, "Maybe our two template replies were a bit too perfunctory and we didn't let them see our true attitude..."

At that time, they made the template reply just thinking about not overly stimulating and ridiculing the Wudong Group and leaving a little last bit of face for their peers.

They may not see each other when they look up, but they will see each other when they look down. No one knows when they will meet again next time.

It’s better not to make it too awkward.

However, this approach obviously caused the other party to misjudge the situation.

"Just say it straight!" Chen Li waved his hand. "We can't let them harass us all the time. Just say that our contract has been signed and there is no room for regret. Otherwise, we will have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages."

"After that, um, just add a few polite words like "I hope we can still have room for cooperation next time."

"This time, it's a real person replying. Don't use those template words. Make sure the message is conveyed clearly."

The order is clear...

The person in charge nodded: "Okay, I'll explain it to them right away."

Chen Li turned his gaze back to Xu Feng and said with a smile, "We have no problems here, how about you? Is there anything else you need to discuss?"

After knowing that the Wudong Group was still determined to do evil, Chen Li felt that this matter should be done as soon as possible.

If the contract is not signed for one minute, something unexpected may happen!

"We've been fine for a long time."

"Then sign the contract!"

"it is good!"

The communication was smooth.

Chen Li picked up the contract handed over by the other party and began to glance over it roughly - in fact, this kind of thing should be done directly by a lawyer.

But he really wanted to know who that gold medal composer was.

One page, two pages...

Chen Li read the contract so quickly that people felt that he was not reading the terms, but was trying to find the information he wanted to see in the contract.

After more than thirty seconds, Chen Li's gaze stopped on a name.

Xu Feng.

It says that the copyright of the song "Big Fish" belongs to Xu Feng.

In other words, Xu Feng is actually the gold medal composer of this song? !
That’s not right. Shouldn’t Xu Feng be just the singer of this song? How did he become the copyright owner?

These college students made such a serious mistake?
It shouldn’t be.

If they just sign the contract like this, it will have no impact on their production team.

But it is very likely that serious conflicts will break out among this group of college students.

While feeling confused, he continued to flip through the pages and saw the "Original Singer" column, which also had the name Xu Feng.

Why are they all Xu Feng?

Chen Li couldn't hold back his doubts, so he picked up the contract and asked, "Did you make a mistake here?"

Got it wrong?
Wu Youqing frowned - that's impossible, they took this matter very seriously and found a team of lawyers with a very good reputation to draft the contract.

It is possible for one person to make a mistake, but it is quite rare that a professional team fails to notice the problem.

"Let's see what went wrong."

Chen Li pointed at the two words "Xu Feng" and said, "Look here, shouldn't Teacher Xu Feng be a singer? How come he has directly become the copyright owner? Shouldn't it belong to your 'mysterious senior'?"

Wu Youqing and the others were a little confused at first, and then looked at each other.

They all saw the expression of holding back laughter in each other's eyes.

Hahaha!
Chen Li and his team haven't realized yet that Xu Feng is the so-called mysterious senior.

"Uh, what do you mean by that expression?" Chen Li was a little confused.

Wu Youqing coughed lightly and said, "Director Chen, the 'mysterious senior' you mentioned is Xu Feng... He is a graduate of Luohe University. It's no longer a secret, right?"

Chen Li: "..."

Not only Chen Li, but also the rest of the production team were stunned.

What the hell?

That mysterious senior is Xu Feng? !

Which means that the song "Big Fish" was written by Xu Feng?

When this possibility, which they had never even thought of before, was presented, everyone was shocked.

When Chen Li heard this explosive answer, he suddenly recalled what happened before.

When the production team encountered difficulties, they came up with two solutions.

One was to find Mei Sha to buy an insurance policy using technology, but in the end, there was really no other way, so I asked them to help.

The second is to find college students.

It is normal for college students to seek help from their seniors when they encounter difficulties.

Among the “seniors” at Luohe University, who is the most famous and easiest to invite?
Obviously, there is only one answer, and that is Xu Feng. Moreover, he had just received an "insurance" and was familiar with the current situation and requirements of the production team, so it was normal for him to write a song quickly.

But...what about the "insurance" issue?
When Chen Li thought of this, the expression on his face became a little strange.

In the end, they found a college student to complete the commission, and the insurance regulations were not triggered, so the matter was just over.

In other words, if they did not buy this insurance, the whole thing would end up being the same as it is now - it would be difficult for other universities to produce a perfect work in a hurry.

The college students of Luohe University asked Xu Feng for help and brought out their works.

And if they don't find college students to write songs, the final result will most likely return to the current situation - after hitting a wall everywhere, the insurance regulations are triggered, and Mei Sha uses technology to help write songs.

After going around in circles, I will eventually return to Xu Feng.

Good man, no matter what choice they make, the final choice is to let Xu Feng write songs for them, right? !
Before that, when they specifically asked Xu Feng to sing "Big Fish", what were the expressions of the college students and Xu Feng?
It turns out that their production team has been kept in the dark!
Fortunately, compared to the dancing group jumping up and down, what they did was not shameful.

At least we got a good song and a good singer, and the whole thing was completed successfully!

Moreover, Wu Youqing didn’t know the whole truth—at least they didn’t know that the production team had already bought insurance from Xu Feng.

At least they don’t know that they have wasted extra money.

Chen Li looked at Xu Feng with a look that was a little strange: "Teacher Xu Feng... I really didn't expect that this song would be written by you."

"I didn't expect that Wu Youqing and the others would ask me for help." Xu Feng smiled, "I can only say that maybe this is fate."

"Well, the contract is fine, shall we sign it? You probably don't have much time left, I still have a variety show to shoot later, so I have to release a song for you as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Chen Li nodded, suppressed his emotions, picked up the pen and seal, and completed all the procedures for signing the contract.

"Happy cooperation!"

“A pleasure to work with...”

"..."

After signing the contract, Chen Li looked at the contract in his hand and the backs of the college students and Xu Feng leaving together. He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "Young people are formidable. Do you feel it?"

"A little……"

"I never thought that the person we have always been curious about is actually Xu Feng."

"Isn't he a newly promoted top player? How can he be so idle as to go through so much trouble with us?"

"Maybe it's because we gave so much."

"...How could a singer who has grown up on his own be short of money?"

"Under normal circumstances, this statement is not true, but he is Xu Feng!"

"Yes...he is Xu Feng."

How can ordinary celebrities get "insurance"?

It’s only Xu Feng.

Thinking about this name, the production team suddenly felt that everything made sense.

……

After leaving the hotel, Wu Youqing glanced at Xu Feng and asked casually, "Xu Feng... Teacher, I haven't heard that you can sing whistle music before?"

"That's because no one let me sing it." Xu Feng answered as a matter of course, "and it's hard to sing, and it costs a lot of money."

This statement reminded Wu Youqing of the scene in the university practice room.

"Can you sing well? Or do you plan to use the method of tuning?"

Xu Feng smiled and shook his head: "Then why not just go find Sister Huan. I must have sung it myself... If the sound is edited, what should I do if I want to hold a concert later? I can't deliberately ignore this song, or just lip-sync it, right?"

Wu Youqing's eyes lit up: "Are you going to have a concert?"

Cheng Luan, who was walking beside him, also had a look in his eyes that lit up.

Uh... I was just saying it casually, don't react so strongly.

It’s not that Xu Feng didn’t want to open it, but he really didn’t know how to open it.

"I don't have any plans for the time being." Xu Feng explained, "But I have to make some plans and considerations for what's to come."

After all, many eyes are staring at Xu Feng now.

If a lip-syncing scandal really arises, things will not be so easy to resolve.

"it is good……"

At this time, several people had already walked to the parking lot. Xu Feng said a few polite words and said goodbye: "That's it, we'll leave first."

After saying that, Xu Feng and Cheng Luan got in the car and left under the gaze of Wu Youqing.

Hurry up and record the song, hurry up and complete this commission, he still has to record the show later...

……

The cooperation discussions here went very pleasantly and smoothly, the contract was signed quickly, and everyone was happy...but for some people, it was difficult to be happy.

Gu Jun looked at the hung up phone with an extremely ugly expression.

He just introduced himself, but the person on the other end didn't even bother to listen and just hung up the phone?

what's the situation?
The deputy team leader finally realized that things were rapidly getting out of their control and asked quickly, "Team leader, what's wrong?"

Resisting the urge to curse and the panic, Gu Jun said in a deep voice: "Give me the address of their production team, and we will go and ask them in person."

Things are, I'm afraid, a little bad.

Chen Li may have found a song that suits his taste and is reasonably priced.

He was not bluffing, but really intended to cooperate with the other party.

But... there is still a chance.

As long as the price-performance ratio on our side is higher than that of the other party, there is still a possibility of restoring cooperation.

Gu Jun lowered his psychological expectations once again - he no longer expected this round of cooperation to bring much results.

It's okay as long as it's not a complete failure.

Compete on price/performance ratio?
It’s not that they can’t do it.

Now, no matter how unwilling Gu Jun was, he had to admit that they were the weaker party in the transaction between the two parties.

But it does not mean there is no room for negotiation.

However, before Gu Jun could give the next instruction, a look of fear suddenly flashed across the face of the employee responsible for sending the email.

"Team Leader...they said they have already signed the contract and hope we won't bother them anymore!"

"It seems like this is not a joke!"

"What?!" Gu Jun, who was still thinking about how he got a piece of meat cut off, finally changed his expression. "Where is the email? Let me see it!"

Has the contract been signed?

Doesn't that mean there is no more room for pulling?
You're still expecting to get a cheaper share of the profits... People don't even do business with you anymore, there's no way you'll get ripped off!
This is the worst outcome!
Just as Gu Jun grabbed the phone, a female voice with a hint of dissatisfaction came from behind him.

"What's the matter, are you so panicked?"

This voice, this voice...

Gu Jun turned his head suddenly, his mouth twitched, and his heart sank: "Song, Director Song..."
