This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 28 Giving Lu Ran an S-level Contract

The song "Sailor" was not plagiarized.

Lu Ran had already asked the system about this matter.

The system has compared the songs with those on Earth.

But as we all know, rumors travel a thousand miles, and debunking them is a long and arduous process.

Even if Lu Ran can prove he didn't plagiarize, so what?

Furthermore, today we need to prove that "Sailor" did not plagiarize.

I'll go prove tomorrow that "My Future Is Not a Dream" was not plagiarized.

Every day is spent proving it.

Nobody cares how many bowls of noodles you ate!
"Let me think about how to solve this," Lu Ran said.

If all else fails, he'll definitely have to prove that "Sailor" wasn't plagiarized.

This is a very poor choice, and it won't be very effective.

……

In another car, Meng Yichuan was on the phone with the boss of Chang'an Entertainment.

"Mr. Shen, filming for the movie has wrapped!"

"Our post-production started a long time ago, and it will be edited in a week!"

"Let me tell you, Lu Ran's acting is really good. I, Meng Sanpai, am not bragging, this movie will definitely make money!"

Even though the film was delayed by a week, its total cost remained below 1.5 million.

This does not include marketing and distribution costs.

If we want to leverage Lu Ran's popularity for promotion, we'll definitely need to add some marketing funds, which will be between 200,000 and 500,000 yuan.

There are two ways to make money from movies: buy them out for a fixed price after they are released on a video platform, or share the revenue.

Revenue sharing is more complicated. Each video platform has its own revenue sharing rules. Some are based on the number of valid plays, while others are based on the duration of play. Generally, the price per play is between 1 and 3 yuan.

If Lu Ran hadn't become a sensation, Chang'an Entertainment would definitely have chosen to buy out the contract.

But now that Lu Ran has become incredibly popular, Chang'an Entertainment will definitely choose to share the profits.

Meng Yichuan estimates the film's minimum revenue to be five million.

This is definitely profitable for a low-budget online film.

Moreover, movies have a long tail effect; as long as there are viewers, there will continue to be revenue.

A cool, mature voice came from the phone.

How much did you pay Lu Ran for his role?

"A total of 150,000!"

Meng Yichuan naturally dared not be careless in such matters.

Lu Ran's original salary was 10,000, but it was directly increased to 150,000.

Zheng Yunxiang's salary as the male lead was only 150,000 yuan.

For a newcomer like Lu Ran, earning 150,000 is already quite a lot.

At this moment, Meng Yichuan tentatively asked, "President Shen, I have an idea."

"explain."

"I want to create a song specifically for the movie. I feel it would be a real shame if our movie didn't have a theme song."

Meng Yichuan felt a little uneasy.

Even for a web series, they don't need to make a theme song. Usually, they just find a music company and make some random background music.

Making a song would increase the cost.

But since he felt this movie was making a lot of money, Meng Yichuan wanted to spend some.

A slightly better-produced song in an online movie can fetch around 200,000 yuan.

This kind of song is custom-made, and the singer is most likely one of the more cost-effective singers in the industry.

In today's entertainment industry, some singers who sing well don't command as high prices as one might imagine.

The price is only related to the traffic you can generate.

Meng Yichuan doesn't care about traffic.

There was a few seconds of silence on the phone, and then the mature woman's voice came through again.

"Okay, you can make arrangements."

Meng Yichuan felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.

Although he is old, he still works for President Shen, and there are some things he can't make decisions about.

At this moment, President Shen asked, "If it's not necessary, don't contact Lu Ran anymore. Let him get some rest."

Her tone carried a hint of concern.

Meng Yichuan was somewhat surprised.

This was the first time the boss had ever specifically reminded him because of an actor.

However, Meng Yichuan didn't think much of it. It was normal for the boss to value someone as sought-after as Lu Ran.

After hanging up the phone, Meng Yichuan prepared to use his connections.

He wants to find someone to write a song for "Hear the Sound of Home".

Once everyone had arrived, they began to enjoy a hearty meal at the farmhouse restaurant.

This meal was a feast for both the guest and the host.

Some extras came to Lu Ran, wanting to take photos with him.

Lu Ran didn't refuse and took photos with these people.

However, when these people returned to their seats and looked at the group photo on their phones, they were all stunned.

Lu Ran hadn't changed out of his business jacket yet.

They posed for a group photo with Lu Ran, just like they would take a photo with a leader.

It looks a bit like a poverty alleviation photoshoot, except for the extras carrying a bucket of oil and a bag of rice.

Now that it's already been filmed, there's no way it can be filmed again.

These extras had no choice but to put up with it.

I've been thinking back and forth about whether or not I should post this photo on my WeChat Moments.

After finishing their meal, Lu Ran and Li Quan returned to school in their nanny van.

Before parting, Li Quan told him, "Get some rest tomorrow, and I'll pick you up the morning after tomorrow."

The day after tomorrow is the recording of the mentor meet-and-greet for "Future Singer," and we'll be going over the performance from the first round.

After returning home, Lu Ran took a shower and went straight to bed.

On the other hand, Li Quan did not go home, but instead took a nanny car to the office of Chang'an Entertainment.

Chang'an Entertainment's offices are located in an office building. He took the elevator straight to the company and finally stopped in front of the boss's office.

Li Quan knocked on the door and said, "President Shen, I'm back."

Li Quan is very professional; while everyone else was drinking at dinner, he didn't.

He remained clear-headed at this moment.

"come in."

A cool, mature female voice rang out.

With a click, the office door unlocked automatically.

Li Quan pushed open the door and entered.

This office is very spacious, with a floor-to-ceiling window offering panoramic views, a meeting area, and various stylish decorations.

On the other side against the wall was a row of bookshelves, filled with literary classics such as "Pride" and "The Wanderer".

In front of the bookshelf was a white desk.

The desk was not decorated in a serious manner; there was even a small teddy bear on it.

Li Quan looked at the woman sitting in front of the desk, Shen Qingyi.

The owner of Chang'an Entertainment.

Shen Qingyi was wearing a simple white shirt and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

Her eyes were bright, her skin was as white as cold jade, her features had a classical refinement, her nose was high and straight, her lips were neither thin nor thick, her features were well-defined, and her face carried a sense of aloofness that kept strangers at bay.

Li Quan felt quite pressured after meeting his boss.

He walked slowly forward and reported the situation of the past few days to Shen Qingyi.

In addition to these, the follow-up work arrangements for Lu Ran and Lei Lei's overstepping of boundaries were also explained in detail.

Upon hearing Lei Lei's attempt to tease Lu Ran, and Lu Ran's response that national defense and military affairs are the most sensitive issues, Shen Qingyi's lips curled slightly, and a small dimple appeared on her cheek, adding a touch of gentleness to her appearance.

After Li Quan finished his report, Shen Qingyi said calmly, "You handle Lei Lei's matter. Lu Ran can date, and we won't impose any restrictions on that. But keep those women with ulterior motives away from Lu Ran."

"Yes, Mr. Shen."

Afterwards, Li Quan reported on the online public opinion.

Shen Qingyi did not hesitate at all: "Find music critics to prove that 'Sailor' did not plagiarize, and we will also make a clarification on our side."

Li Quan said with some difficulty, "I've looked around, but no one is willing to take the order."

We're all in the same industry, so we know each other well.

Given Lu Ran's current strength, no one wants to offend an even bigger sugar daddy by helping him.

Not participating in the discussion is the limit these people can go on.

Shen Qingyi stretched out her slender fingers and rubbed her temples.

That's how it is for small companies; when facing large companies in the public discourse, they are almost powerless to fight back.

"You go back first."

Shen Qingyi said calmly.

Just as Li Quan was about to leave, Shen Qingyi suddenly asked, "Have you thought about what level of contract you want to sign with Lu Ran?"

Lu Ran is not currently under a formal agency contract.

Chang'an Entertainment certainly wants to keep Lu Ran, but if Lu Ran performs better and better on the show, then it will be beyond their ability to retain him.

Other companies will also offer more favorable terms.

Li Quan said seriously, "Starting with S-level."

S-level contracts are the most prestigious artist contracts in the industry.

Shen Qingyi smiled slightly: "That's what I was thinking. But don't rush to tell Lu Ran. Give him S-level treatment first. Go ahead."

Li Quan turned and left.

He wasn't surprised by his boss's actions.

If word got out now that Shen Qingyi was going to offer an S-level contract to a newcomer in the entertainment industry, the first reaction of the bosses of those major companies in the industry would be that Shen Qingyi was out of her mind.

Newcomer wants to sign S-level contract?
dream!

Let's sign a ten-year indenture first.

But that's just the kind of person Shen Qingyi is.

The fact that the company doesn't have a single popular celebrity to date is a testament to this.

Shen Qingyi respects technology.

After Li Quan left, Shen Qingyi got up from her office chair, her feet clattering in black high heels that made a clicking sound as they hit the floor.

She wore a well-tailored pair of suit trousers that perfectly showcased her long, straight, and beautiful legs. Her buttocks were round and full, like a peach, tapering inwards as they extended to her waist.

Shen Qingyi has a figure that countless women and even celebrities in the entertainment industry envy.

She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, hands in her pockets, gazing at the scenery outside.

After looking at it for a while, she returned to her desk and opened the bookshelf door.

When the bookshelf door is opened, you'll find that what appears to be a row of books displayed inside is actually a photograph pasted onto the transparent glass of the bookshelf.

The bookshelves are actually filled with comics, novels, and reference books on the film and television industry.

She pulled out a shonen manga from the pile and went back to her seat to read it.

This is a method she often uses to relieve stress when she is under a lot of pressure.

……

Six o'clock the next morning.

Lu Ran woke up from his sleep.

He slept straight through yesterday until now.

He got up quietly and saw that Cheng Dong was still sleeping in bed, so he got dressed, washed up, and went to the playground for a run.

I didn't run yesterday because I was too tired and had a few drinks, but I have to run today.

After running five laps, he regained his senses.

He arrived at the school's flagpole and opened the system panel.
