This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 48 Midnight Shadow
In the director's private room, Song Shi asked Xu Feng to sit down. On the surface, he didn't look particularly friendly, but his attitude was very kind: "Let's talk over there on the sofa. Chatting in front of the office makes us look like superiors and subordinates."

He did not hide his admiration for Xu Feng at all.

Xu Feng didn't hesitate and sat on the guest seat on the sofa, while Song Shi took two cups of tea from the desk and placed them on the table.

"You are not the kind of person who likes to talk nonsense, so I will get straight to the point." Song Shi smiled, "From your performance today, I am very confident in you, but we still have to go through the process."

"I'll just tell you two things."

Xu Feng drank the tea in one gulp and nodded very slightly: "No problem, you go ahead."

As for whether it can be done in the end, or to what extent it can be done, it all depends on Song Shi’s opening price.

Song Shi stopped talking nonsense and became more serious. "First question, you have read the script and participated in the filming. Do you have any inspiration for making a song? If not, we will directly buy one of your three songs."

"You must think carefully and don't force yourself just to save face. Although playing it safe is boring, it is at least safe and will not have any negative impact on your personal reputation and future. For our crew, as long as the song is not bad, no one will find fault with it even if it doesn't fit the theme. It is a relatively low-risk option for both parties."

"If your creation is not satisfactory... then the impact will be huge. Do you know how many eyes are watching you now, waiting for the moment you reveal a flaw so they can pull you down from the platform and add insult to injury? Don't think that the people you have offended will let you go so easily."

"Under the pressure of time, creators often distort their ideas, so please think twice before giving me your answer."

If he were an ordinary person, Song Shi would not bother to say so much.

It’s just that Xu Feng is really a talented person with great potential. Apart from his slightly strange personality, he is good in every other way.

After speaking from the bottom of his heart, Song Shi stared at Xu Feng, picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth, waiting for a serious answer after careful consideration.

However, Xu Feng said without thinking: "Director Song, this is not a problem of my ability. It depends on what your needs are and whether the crew has any ideas to save costs on the ending song."

This director was a pretty nice guy. Xu Feng didn't say something like "If you have enough money, everything can be covered for one price" directly, but instead gave a slightly subtle reminder.

The cup that Song Shi placed to his mouth shook, and a few drops of tea splashed from the cup onto his clothes.

He thought about Xu Feng choosing to play it safe under pressure, Xu Feng confidently choosing to create under the time limit, and even Xu Feng gritted his teeth and chose the latter.

But I never expected to get such an outrageous answer.

What does it mean to see if the crew has a need to save costs? It means that as long as the crew pays enough, they can even use Xu Feng as a wishing well?
Song Shi put down the cup, feeling that his worldview had collapsed. He pinched his palms and said, "Okay! Okay, okay, young people nowadays are very energetic. Then I will tell you the second thing..."

"There's a problem with our music production team. I won't go into detail about what the problem is. You know the time is tight, but you don't know how tight it is. I'm telling you now, you only have 15 days to create."

"Even Lin Shenghuan finds this deadline difficult. If you regret it, we can always go back to the previous question and you will have a chance to make a new choice."

After saying that, he looked up at the young man in front of him, the meaning in his eyes was very clear - Aren’t you very awesome? It’s only been 15 days, can you still be awesome?
In fact, the crew has much more time left. Song Shi is also prepared to gradually make concessions on time during the bargaining and give Xu Feng a relatively less stressful creative time.

But this young man has been too smooth sailing all the way, he must be punished!
Xu Feng listened carefully to Party A's needs, nodded and said, "No problem, do you have any other requirements?"

Song Dynasty: "..."

No, why doesn’t this guy follow the routine?

I said 15 days, and you really mean 15 days, right? You are bargaining!

Looking at Xu Feng's urging eyes, Song Shi took a breath, but finally gave in and reiterated: "Xu Feng, I said 15 days, are you sure there is no problem?" Problem?

Any problem with 15 days?

Xu Feng thought about it carefully in his mind, and asked uncertainly: "Well, maybe it will cost a little extra expedited fee?"

Song Shi: "...That's fine, we can sign the contract. After signing the contract, remember to go to the finance department to collect today's salary."

There is nothing much to say to this kind of god. I am tired today, so let’s end it quickly.

Finally, after several minutes of intense discussion without any bargaining, Song Shi purchased Xu Feng's "all-inclusive" VIP package.

The crew only needs to pay the money and wait to receive the songs after 15 days. Party A does not need to worry about singing, recording studio and all other matters.

All in all, even if the "expedited fee" that Xu Feng just mentioned is added, it is actually more efficient and cost-effective than hiring a team!
Although only Xu Feng himself enjoys this money and no other team members withdraw it, the crew does not have to worry about these things at all and just needs to pay the money.

Song Shi looked at Xu Feng's back as he left, and murmured with some self-doubt: "Why is the style of this collaboration so different from the previous ones... What went wrong?"

Wasn't it originally his support and exhortation to a young junior? How did the conversation turn into a big gift package bundle sale?
……

"Then Director Song, I'm leaving first!"

Xu Feng walked out of the set with a half-cup of milk tea in his hand and glanced at the taxi-hailing app on his phone - even the fastest car was expected to take seven or eight minutes to arrive.

"I have to buy a car when I make enough money, otherwise it will be inconvenient to accept commissions."

Muttering to himself, he found a random table to sit down at, placed the invalidated salary slip on the table, and used it as the bottom of his milk tea cup.

The sugar water may flow onto the table, so it is best to use a cushion.

The cleaning lady nearby saw this and said with a smile: "Young man, just put your things on the table and I will take them away."

Xu Feng turned around and nodded, "Thank you for your help then."

"No way, we are getting paid!"

After a while, it was completely dark and the online ride-hailing car finally arrived. Xu Feng opened the door and got in. With the slight hum of the motor, the taillights of the car quickly disappeared from the set.

"..."

Swish!
Suddenly, a dark shadow jumped out from somewhere.

He moved very quickly and with a clear target. He pounced on the aunt who was cleaning the house, his eyes glowing green, like a homeless man who had been hungry for a long time.

The aunt, who was nearly 50 years old, looked at the flying black shadow with horror, her voice trembling: "You, what are you going to do?"

"Auntie, please leave your presence alone. Don't sweep that pile of garbage for now!"

The black shadow was quick-witted and snatched the milk tea coaster from the plastic garbage shovel with excitement on his face.

Ha! The secret of success that Xu Feng had carefully kept was finally in my hands!
ps: Thank you for the rewards, thank you!
