I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 17 17. Hurry up and start the show! There is no guest at all, who should we perform for?

Jiang Chen opened the electronic contract and took a look.

In fact, it was just an ordinary standard contract, so Jiang Chen carefully read the copyright ownership and billing method.

There is no doubt about the copyright ownership of the contract. It is only authorized for use in short videos and does not involve any other authorizations. It is not allowed to be used for commercial performances, live covers, etc.

The billing method is to pay ten dollars for every thousand plays, paid monthly.

It is the same price as Jiang Chen knew, which is one dollar per hundred times.

There is no difference in the billing method of DouYue. Whether it is a classic old song or a new song, the billing standard is the same.

No one knows which song will become popular in short videos. The rhythm of short videos is different from any other form of entertainment.

Some classic old songs that were very popular twenty or thirty years ago are still good to listen to today, and many people like to listen to them, but very few of them are used in short videos.

However, some new online songs that are looked down upon by professional singers and music producers and are poorly produced can suddenly become popular, with more than one billion plays per year and tens of millions of dollars in annual revenue.

Therefore, all authorization contracts like DouYue treat everyone equally, and everything is determined by traffic.

Whoever is more popular can earn more.

Jiang Chen quickly filled in his information, bank card information, etc., and then completed the online signing through facial recognition.

"The contract review will take about three days. Once completed, your three works will be introduced for use."

Jiang Chen saw the reply and ignored it.

However, the number of private messages suddenly surged again.

Jiang Chen took a look and saw that most of them were urging him to start the show quickly.

He had already started live streaming at this time in the morning two days ago, but he hasn't started live streaming yet today, and some old viewers are getting anxious.

"Host, please start the show soon. I've been watching for an hour, just waiting for you to start."

"Host, I'm waiting for your new song. Please start the song soon."

"Anchor, are you still broadcasting this morning?"

"Innate Pride Holy Body, what time does it start today?"

"Host, can you please let me know the live broadcast time? I have checked it more than ten times and I am afraid I will miss your live broadcast."

……

Jiang Chen thought about it, edited his information, and wrote a line of words in his self-introduction - The show will start at 7:30 pm, in the bar street of Magic City, Xingyue Bar.

After writing, Jiang Chen watched Odebiao racing for a while, then tidied up the room and took the dirty clothes to the washing machine outside to wash.

At noon, I went downstairs alone to eat, took a short walk after the meal, and then came back to take a nap!

Jiang Chen no longer needs system prompts, as he has already gotten used to this self-disciplined life.

Who wouldn’t want to live a healthier life if there was no pressure in life?

Six pm.

Jiang Chen entered the subway and came to the famous bar street in Magic City.

Jiang Chen has been in Shanghai for five or six years, but this is his first time here. He found the Xingyue Bar according to the address given by Pu Yuexi.

It was not even seven o'clock yet, and almost all the bars on Bar Street were not open yet.

Jiang Chen sent a message to Pu Yuexi - I'm at the door of the bar.

In less than ten seconds, Pu Yuexi replied: "We are all here, I'll pick you up."

Then, the closed door of the bar was opened.

Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, and Wang Jing were all waving to Jiang Chen inside.

"Come in quickly, Jiang Chen."

Pu Yuexi greeted with a smile: "We came here at noon and had a free meal."

Jiang Chen nodded and smiled at them, thanking them: "Thank you for helping me promote yesterday."

Chen Xiaojia smiled and said, "You're welcome. We also participated in the production. We know your work is good, so we recommended it to you. We also watched your live broadcast. Did you really kick out those rich people who gave you tips?"

Li Wen also asked curiously: "Jiang Chen, do you really limit the amount of rewards you can accept every day? If it exceeds the limit, you will stop broadcasting?"

Several people watched Jiang Chen's live broadcast yesterday and were full of curiosity and questions. When they saw Jiang Chen in person, they all asked questions.

Jiang Chen walked in, looked at the faces of several people full of curiosity, nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, I will do what I say."

Wang Jing asked: "Don't you want to make more money?"

Jiang Chen: "Of course I do. Who doesn't want to make money?"

Wang Jing: "Then you also kicked out viewers who gave tips? And you also limited the tip amount?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "It's enough for me to make enough money. Ten thousand in tips every day is already a lot. My previous monthly salary was only over ten thousand. I live-stream singing just to attract more viewers to pay for downloads. I think paid downloads are enough, and there's no need to tip again, so I don't want to accept too many tips."

Pu Yuexi waved her hand, ending the interrogation of Jiang Chen by the three men, and said with a smile: "Jiang Chen is a principled person, and he is not the same as other internet celebrities you have met! Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Jiang Chen, let me introduce you to the owner of this Xingyue Bar, Zhao Haitang, who is my elementary school classmate."

Walking into the bar, there is a large hall with booths scattered throughout. It is not open for business yet and is still empty with only a few waiters cleaning.

There is no DJ here, but it is a petty bourgeois music bar, so they hire resident singers.

A young woman in a cheongsam was sitting at the bar. When she saw Pu Yuexi and the others coming in, she quickly stood up and walked straight to Jiang Chen, extending her hand and saying, "Hello, you must be the Jiang Chen that Yuexi praised. I also downloaded and listened to your three songs. They are very nice!"

Zhao Haitang is full of classical beauty. She has a typical oval face, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and her smile is very gentle and warm.

Jiang Chen and Zhao Haitang shook hands gently, and separated immediately after touching, and said softly: "Thank you for the compliment, Boss Zhao is so beautiful!"

Zhao Haitang smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment. Jiang Chen, I want to discuss with you again. Can we adjust our working hours? There are few customers at 7 or 8 o'clock, and most bars are closed. After 10 o'clock in the evening, the bars are the busiest. If you are willing to get off work at 11 o'clock, I can give you double your salary, 2,000 a day."

Jiang Chen did not answer Zhao Haitang immediately, but looked at Pu Yuexi. Pu Yuexi spread her hands and smiled bitterly: "I told Haitang that you should go back to bed early. She said she wanted to talk to you in person."

Zhao Haitang smiled and said, "I heard from Yuexi that you are already 30 years old and need to take care of your health, so you should go to bed early. You can do it again in a week." Zhao Haitang also thought that Jiang Chen's words of going to bed early and taking care of his health were just a temporary insistence and a joke. Such flags are everywhere on the Internet and should not be taken seriously, so he wanted to persuade Jiang Chen to work more hours.

However, Jiang Chen shook his head firmly and said in a serious tone: "Sorry, Boss Zhao. This is my working time. If you can't accept it, you can only find someone else."

The smile on Zhao Haitang's face gradually disappeared, and he asked softly, "Really no negotiation? Three thousand a day."

Jiang Chen still shook his head.

Pu Yuexi stepped forward and whispered to Zhao Haitang: "Haitang, Jiang Chen is not talking about money!"

Zhao Haitang nodded, took a deep breath, and said to Jiang Chen: "Okay, then I'll accept it for now. But around eight o'clock, there may not be anyone here, so you can just watch the show and leave when it's your off-duty time!"

Zhao Haitang turned around and whispered in Pu Yuexi's ear: "Don't come tomorrow."

Zhao Haitang treated the thousand yuan as a bottle of wine and didn't care. But what she cared about was that there would be no resident singers for a few days, and her regular customers would be disappointed and not come, which would be a big loss.

Pu Yuexi sighed helplessly, knowing that she was in a difficult position now. She could only nod and watched Zhao Haitang continue to fiddle with things at the bar. She asked Jiang Chen to sit down and said softly, "Don't mind it. Haitang is just like that. Her bar business just started to pick up, but the resident singer ran away. Now she is under a lot of pressure. The singer in Beijing has only one week left on his contract. He can't leave early, otherwise he will have to pay a large sum of liquidated damages."

Jiang Chen sat down and said indifferently: "If she is not satisfied, just change someone!"

Pu Yuexi's smile froze for a moment, and then she changed the subject: "Are you going to start a live concert later?"

Jiang Chen nodded, looked at them, and asked curiously, "Do you often perform together?"

Pu Yuexi looked at Chen Xiaojia and the other two and nodded, "I'll occasionally accompany other people's performances or help them record songs. For now, I'll make a living from this."

Chen Xiaojia, Wang Jing and Li Wen all had a gloomy look in their eyes.

If possible, they certainly would not be willing to just play supporting roles for others, they also want to be the protagonist themselves.

After all, they are all still young. The oldest, Pu Yuexi, is only 28 years old, and the other three are between 25 and 26 years old, which is the best time of their lives.

Jiang Chen noticed that the expressions of the few people were not right, so he stopped asking questions and said, "I will go to you to record the song tomorrow!"

Pu Yuexi: "The song you mentioned last time?"

Chen Xiaojia, Wang Jing, and Li Wen all looked at Jiang Chen with some anticipation.

They had worked with Jiang Chen once and knew how amazing Jiang Chen's musical talent was. It was more amazing than many musical geniuses they had met in several famous music schools in China, and even more amazing than some famous creators and producers they had met.

They had never seen any famous producer like Jiang Chen, who could handle everything about a song by himself, and could finish the arrangement plan in one go, and the final product would be very good.

So, they all look forward to working with Jiang Chen to record a song next time to see if Jiang Chen’s talent can continue?

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "Not just that one song, but three!"

The four of them once again stared at Jiang Chen in unison, each look like a sharp sword wanting to cut Jiang Chen open and see his body structure.

Wang Jing: "Three songs? You wrote new songs?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Well, I sorted out the bits and pieces I wrote before, and I think it's okay, so I recorded it all together to try out the effect."

Pu Yuexi and the others looked at each other speechlessly.

Another new song sorted out from odds and ends?
How much have you written before?
Do you have any unwanted odds and ends that you want to give us? We can help you sort them out.

Li Wen whispered, "I'll go back and sort out what I wrote before."

Chen Xiaojia looked at Jiang Chen: "Jiang Chen, it would be better if you learned music earlier!"

Pu Yuexi said expectantly, "Then we'll wait for you in the studio tomorrow morning. Have you prepared a music arrangement plan?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "About the same."

They looked at each other speechlessly again.

Chen Xiaojia: "Jiang Chen, do you know that what you did is a huge blow to us? It makes us who specialize in studying music look stupid."

Jiang Chen shook his head: "How could that be? You guys are amazing! I think this is very simple, you should be able to do it too, right?"

Jiang Chen has memories from a parallel world in his heart, and all the information about each song is clear, so he finds it very simple.

but……

Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, and Wang Jing were speechless again after hearing this!

Very simple?
You should be able to, too?
The four of them had nothing to say.

They want to say they can’t!
It’s not that I don’t like it…

But can't!

As they chatted, time passed quickly.

It's almost eight o'clock.

Although!

There was still no one in the bar.

However, Jiang Chen still walked onto the stage, fixed his phone in front of him, pointed it at the center of the stage, and prepared to start today's performance.

Pu Yuexi, Wang Jing, Li Wen and Chen Xiaojia also placed their musical instruments on the stage one by one.

but!

Below the stage.

There are only a few people.

Zhao Haitang sat on a chair, crossed his arms, and looked calmly at Jiang Chen and others who were preparing to perform on the stage.

There were several waiters, bartenders and others sitting scattered on the sofas nearby, all looking curiously at Jiang Chen and the others on the stage, their expressions full of confusion.

There is no customer now, who should I perform for?
