Perfect Superstar Chapter 112

Chapter 112 - Incurs Attack

Beijing Satellite TV, Program Department.

The contract paper that had just been printed out was still warm, and Lu Chen signed his name on it with a pen.

This is the copyright transfer contract.

He transferred part of the copyright and right to use the song "Life On A String" to Beijing Satellite TV.

Today is Monday. In the morning, Lu Chen contacted Gu Rui, the music director of "Singing China" program team. Then in the afternoon, he took his sister Lu Xi to the TV station and formally finalize the contract.

As Lu Chen's agent, Lu Xi entered her role very quickly. The negotiation process was basically controlled by her. Lu Chen just sat aside and smiled.

Just smiling is enough.

In the entertainment industry, the image of star idols is very important, and involves many contracts. If all of them negotiated by themselves, either they'll be worked to death or be pitted to death by others, so an agent is an indispensable standard.

The reliability and professionalism of an agent largely determine the future of a star.

In the entertainment industry, there are many examples of people choosing the wrong agent, resulting in the destruction of their future.

Lu Chen invited his sister to be his agent because, first of all, relatives are undoubtedly the most reliable, and even though his relationship with her is not as close as Lu Xue, in the face of outsiders, she will firmly be on his side.

Second, Lu Xi has all the credentials as an agent, and she is smart enough.

An agent must first be a villain, cowardly people cannot do this job. Although Lu Xi is not a real villain, but her strength and shrewdness ensure that Lu Chen can get a reasonable return.

Even though it was her first time as an entertainment agent, she still did very well.

For the whole day yesterday, Lu Xi was studying information about entertainment agents and Beijing Satellite TV.

She even drew up the contract in advance before coming to the negotiation.

The time limit for the transfer of "Life On A String" to Beijing Satellite TV is 10 years. The latter can use the song for the production and promotion of "Singing China" for a symbolic fee of 1 yuan.

In return, "Life On A String" will only be sung by Lu Chen, and Beijing Satellite TV cannot authorize others to cover the song. In addition, on Beijing TV's "11" National Day party, they will invite him to sing this song on stage! (TN: 11 National Day is also known as Double Tenth Day or Taiwan National Day. More info .)

Since the establishment of the TV station, Beijing Satellite TV has held a celebration party on the night of the 11 National Day every year. Although not as grand as CCTV's National Day party, however the domestic ratings are not low.

Therefore, if he wants to appear at this party, he can't do without strength and connections.

That is to say, while retaining most of his rights and interests, Lu Chen got a good opportunity to show his face.

It wasn't easy to win this contract. It's important to know that compared to Lu Chen, Beijing Satellite TV is an existence of an absolute giant level. It is impossible for the two sides to have an equal relationship.

A song is dispensable for Beijing Satellite TV, while Beijing Satellite TV is the most important platform for Lu Chen to make his debut at present. Even if the former asks Lu Chen to transfer the copyright unconditionally, he does not have much choice.

However, Lu Xi used her sincerity and perseverance to persuade the representatives of the program team, mainly focusing on Gu Rui.

Of course, this contract does not exceed the bottom line of Beijing Satellite TV, which is a satisfactory win-win contract between the two parties.

"Happy cooperation!"

After signing the contract, Lu Chen and Gu Rui shook hands: "Thank you, Director Gu."

Gu Rui shook his hand and said with a smile, "The future of this world belongs to young people like you, Lu Chen. You have an excellent agent and I look forward to more cooperation in the future."

Gu Rui quite appreciates Lu Xi and was even more surprised to know that she was Lu Chen's sister.

This pair of siblings are not very much alike.

Gu Rui's words actually implied another meaning, but at present Lu Chen can't hear it.

"Thank you!"

After leaving Beijing Satellite TV, Lu Chen and Lu Xi returned to their rented studio apartment.

The dinner at night was made by his sister. The ingredients were bought in the nearby supermarket. It was very fresh and clean.

In terms of cooking, Lu Xi obtained her techniques from their mother, Fang Yun. Several home-cooked small dishes were full of color, fragrance and flavor, which made Lu Chen eat full of praise.

He felt like he's back at home.

Halfway through the dinner. He suddenly said, "Sister, when I pay off our family's debts, I will buy a big house in Beijing and let mother retire early to live here. Lu Xue will also come to Beijing to study."

"So that our family can be reunited!"

When he was working at KFC, Lu Chen occasionally thought the same thing when he lay in bed after being busy and tired, but he never thought his dream would come true.

The heavy debt of his family made him think he would be like that for the rest of his life.

But now, although the debt has not been paid off, but realizing his dream is not out of reach!

Lu Xi's expression was stiff. She slowly swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Eat."

Her voice was gentler than ever.

After a pause, she added, "Mom shouldn't be here. She's used to living in Binhai."

Her tone returned to its original tone.

Lu Chen nodded silently.

After dinner, he went to the studio over at the Creative Park.

Lu Chen gave up the Jinchengyuan's studio apartment to Lu Xi to live in. He, himself, lives in the studio for the time being. The live broadcast equipment has long been transferred. The evening's live broadcast is normally carried there.

After signing the contract with [Whale TV], besides the reward points, Lu Chen also receives a generous monthly anchor salary. Accordingly, he also has the duty and responsibility to guarantee enough live broadcast time.

After the live broadcast, Lu Chen slept in the lounge.

The next morning, Tuesday, July 28, he got up early and went out for a run.

Morning exercise has become a good habit of Lu Chen. During his persistent exercise, he can clearly feel the changes in his body. He's healthier, more active, and full of energy.

It's just that the place of his exercise has changed from the artificial riverside to the central garden of the Creative Park.

At 9 o'clock, Lu Chen, who had breakfast, returned to the studio.

"Big Chen, come quickly!"

As soon as he opened the door with the key, he heard Li Feiyu shouting, "Something has happened!"

Lu Chen's heart couldn't help but sunk, and hurriedly ran over: "What happened?"

Li Feiyu is in the studio. The computer is turned on and the screen is showing a page on Inspur blog.

Li Feiyu is currently Lu Chen's assistant. In addition to helping him complete the live broadcast task, Li Feiyu also helps him manage blogs, fan group and QQ groups, and strengthen communication and exchanges with fans.

"Come and have a look!"

Li Feiyu opened the comment section on the latest blog post on "Lu Chen FMX".

The content of this blog post is ordinary, that is, Lu Chen's daily selfie photo with a few lines of text, but the number of comments actually reached more than 30,000, which is totally unreasonable.

And in the comment section, it's all curse messages.

"What bullsh*t songwriter is comparable to our Xiaoxiao!"

"Haha, just someone using our Xiaoxiao to hype himself?"

"Do you even deserve to be compared with Ling Xiaoxiao? Apologize quickly, or don't blame us for being rude!"

""In Spring" is terrible to listen to, and this stupid song is for those who are outdated."

"Apologize! Apologize! Apologize!"

"Shameless hype, Lu Chen roll out of the entertainment industry!"

"Be a person of integrity. Don't think about using crooked ways to get to the top. What do you mean by doing this?"

"Get out of here! Get out! Get out of here. "

There are even worse curse words that appear to pollute the screen.

Lu Chen's self-restraint is very good, but he can't help but feel angry when he saw these filthy messages.

"Are these people crazy? Who is Ling Xiaoxiao? Do I know him?"

His first feeling was that he had been hacked. He wanted to swear, but he didn't know who to scold.

Li Feiyu hurriedly said: "Calm down first, I probably already understand."

He pulled up a new page, which is also on the Inspur blog, but belongs to another blogger.

The blogger, called Stray Cat, is a small V with more than 300,000 fans, and his latest post has been reposted by more than 25,000, with more than 50,000 hits!

The key is the content of this blog post.

[Unworthy of the name "Super Singer", the inside story on why the author of "In Spring", Lu Chen, was eliminated!]

Geez!

Lu Chen never thought that his blog had been attacked and that it had something to do with the fact that he had been eliminated in the audition of "Super Singer". He really doesn't know how this little V got the inside story.

Saying that he doesn't know at all might be incorrect. At least Lu Chen can think of someone.

He immediately asked Li Feiyu to open the long blog.

There are two kinds of blog posts in Inspur Blog: Short blog posts are limited to 50 words, which can be directly displayed, and long blog post are unlimited, but it needs to be clicked open to browse the full text.

It was this long blog that made Lu Chen fully understand the context of the matter.

Let's not talk about the inside story, just the last sentence of the blog post is enough to explain the reason for the attack.

""Super Singer, Lu Chen throws Ling Xiaoxiao at least three blocks!"

This sentence is too hateful. Lu Chen do not know Ling Xiaoxiao at all, but was actually pulled by Stray Cats as MT. (TN: I think MT means main tank, meaning he's receiving all the attack, like in RPG games)

He didn't even know whether to cry or laugh. If he blames Stray Cat, others will be greatly appreciative of him, and will complain that he was being wronged. By the way, he slapped Xiangnan Satellite TV in the face, giving him the opportunity to increase his reputation.

If one says it is not strange, then Ling Xiaoxiao is collateral damage?

Lu Chen also soon found out the identity of this person.

The other party is the newcomer who stands out in "Super Singer" Shanghai singing district. His performance in the auditions, preliminary, and quarterfinals were excellent. His three original works have been praised by the industry, so he is being praised by Xiangnan Satellite TV!

Ling Xiaoxiao has also launched a blog on Inspur Blog, and he has more than 3 million fans.

Among the people who like him, there are a lot of teenage boys and girls.

They are the main force in attacking Lu Chen!
