This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 40 Additional Services (Everyone come in and say something!)
In the living room of the rental house, Xu Feng and the person in charge of the KTV had almost agreed on the price.

"Then it's settled. Eighty thousand yuan for a six-month KTV buyout." After discussing the price for a full ten minutes, Manager Zhao finally agreed to Xu Feng's asking price. "Let's make an appointment tomorrow and sign the contract quickly. Do you need me to hire a lawyer to look at the specific terms?"

Manager Zhao seems very anxious... Well, now that summer vacation is here, students from many schools will go home and organize activities.

In particular, various class reunions and karaoke-like activities are emerging in an endless stream, which will directly affect Manager Zhao's personal performance.

The sooner the contract is signed, the sooner KTV can put Xu Feng's songs on the shelves, and the sooner it can use this gimmick for publicity. Every day of arguing over this little copyright fee is a loss, so it is better to lower the price a bit.

Seeing that the cooperation was basically set in stone, Xu Feng suddenly felt sleepy, his forehead twitched slightly, and he yawned a little: "Well... that's it, there's no need to hire a lawyer. Let's go to the Wandering Café across the street from the south gate of Luohe University at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning to sign the contract."

Xu Feng can understand ordinary contracts by himself without hiring a lawyer.

Xu Feng also has a certain understanding of the music industry - the price offered by the other party is indeed slightly higher than the average level.

After the system took its cut, there were still 8,000 yuan left, which was enough for Xu Feng at the moment.

After dealing with the trivial matters, Xu Feng went to bed. The next day, he arrived at the cafe on time and met the people from the KTV.

The other party was very efficient and promptly transferred the money to Xu Feng after signing the contract.

Manager Zhao was a middle-aged man with a bald head, but his attitude towards Xu Feng was surprisingly good. He put away the contract, reached out and shook his hand vigorously, and said with a smile: "We have our own channels to get the audio files, so we won't bother you. Happy cooperation! Happy cooperation! Let's cooperate again if there is a chance in the future!"

During the campus party last night, they also sent people to the scene to record it. After a little post-production noise reduction, a live version of the song came out.

Xu Feng's playing is very emotional. Although his singing level has not yet reached the level of a human phonograph, it is comparable to the studio versions of many singers and would not be out of place when put in a KTV.

The most important reason is that Manager Zhao has subconsciously believed that Xu Feng would not prepare such a thing for them - the money is only for buying the copyright, and they have to find the source of the sound themselves.

After seeing Xu Feng's outrageous actions several times, the partners also unconsciously followed Xu Feng's character.

Xu Feng himself may not even have the audio file of this song!

"That's not necessary." Seeing that the other party's offer was relatively high, Xu Feng adhered to the style of being fair and honest, and handed over a USB flash drive, "This contains the studio version, you can use it directly."

When the USB flash drive was handed over to him, Manager Zhao's brain almost short-circuited.

I was flattered, but also a little confused.

He thought carefully for a long time before tentatively asking, "Is this the studio version of 'My Past'?"

"That's right." Xu Feng said as a matter of course, "I recorded it myself. I didn't do any tuning, but the environment is a little quieter. The price you offered is good, this is an additional service."

Manager Zhao was speechless.

After reading what netizens said online, he thought that Xu Feng, who lacked an agency, really didn’t have the time or energy to make a studio version...It turns out that there was already a studio version, but why didn’t he release it?
Does it mean that Xu Feng will only do something if someone comes to him and pays him to do it?
There are additional services, which is amazing.

Is there such a way to be a star? Are you a star or a mercenary?
Manager Zhao couldn't figure it out, so he could only force a smile and said, "Thank you, Brother Xu. Next time when you and your friends come to our KTV to sing, just say my name and I'll give you a free meal."

This person is a little unpredictable.

But no matter what, it’s never a bad idea to have a better relationship with Xu Feng.

If Xu Feng becomes famous in the future, maybe their KTV will be able to use this relationship to get exclusive first-release rights for some songs?
Xu Feng nodded, not really concerned about this matter: "Let's talk about it later."

The most important thing now is to see the new commission and see how to complete the task that the system wants Xu Feng to develop in other fields. From the first task reward being a personal agent, it can be seen that the reward for this kind of task is extremely generous, and the sooner you get it, the better!
After Manager Zhao and his lawyer left with the contract, Xu Feng picked up his phone and added the WeChat business card shared by Lin Shenghuan.

After sending a verification message to the director named Song Shi, Xu Feng also searched the name on Baidu.

After a quick glance at the information, I found that this director made a niche movie with remarkable ratings and box office, and a TV series that was not very popular but had good reputation.

There was also a work that just barely recovered its cost.

Overall, the reputation is pretty good, the works are reasonably profitable, and there has been no scandals exposed.

The resources introduced by Lin Shenghuan are indeed nothing special.

After reading the information, Xu Feng’s WeChat also popped up a prompt that Song Shi had passed the friend verification.

Director Song Shi was not arrogant and sent a voice message directly: "Hello Xu Feng, I am Director Song Shi. Do you have time to come to the crew today?"

There was a very formal, old-fashioned tone in his speech.

There is some noise in this voice message, probably because the crew is still filming.

Xu Feng did not reply with a voice message, but typed a line of text to express his doubts: "Director Song, am I not only responsible for the production of the ending song? Can I come to the set?"

He has never filmed a drama before, but it stands to reason that when shooting a TV series like this, the fewer staff members who know the direction of the plot should be the better. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome and costly to ensure that the plot is not leaked later.

The composer of the ending song doesn't look like someone who can be counted as someone who "should know the plot."

When I get to the crew, I might only be able to sit on the periphery and can't get too close to the set, which doesn't make much practical sense.

Two minutes later, Director Song Shi sent a reply: "Come and see what exactly is filmed in this drama. It may inspire your creation. Young people don't need to think too much. We don't have so many rules here. Just sign a confidentiality agreement."

That's not bad!

When I get to the crew, I'll see if there's a chance to get a small role as an extra, and then finish the tasks assigned by the system first.

Xu Feng knew that with his current ability, it was impossible for him to say to the director, "I can act as good as you pay me." If he said that, he would be regarded as a fool.

But with the identity of a music producer, there is still a chance if he can get a role as an extra or a guest star and use the excuse of just having fun to get away with the task.

Now Xu Feng is considered a person of some worth and ability, so if he is allowed to play a guest role as an extra, the crew will basically give him a red envelope.

Of course, it can only be a "red envelope" rather than a "film remuneration". Because many big bosses and many high-profile people may also come to the set to make cameos, and their time itself is very valuable. To use film remuneration to handle official business is an astronomical figure that is extremely unworthy.

Fortunately, the system does not care what the name of the reward is. As long as the commission relationship is established, the task can be triggered.

Xu Feng nodded and said, "Okay, then give me the address. I can get there in Luohe City in an hour."

　I see many people are asking about the release date, so I will give a unified reply here. It depends on the recommendation arrangement of Qidian. According to the current situation, it will be either September 9 or September 11, which is not too late. After this period, the release date will be updated. Please keep up with it for a while. It doesn't matter whether you wait or watch me update!
