In short, Chen Feng has become rich.

Although he is not as rich as a billionaire, it is not long before his personal net worth breaks through eight figures.

Recently, the increase in housing prices has slowed down and entered a steady decline. Chen Feng is not in a hurry to buy a house.

Even if he wants to buy one, he has to wait until he has more money to buy a luxury house in one go. At present, this part of money is not enough.

In addition, he has no desire to consume now, and he has to pay taxes when withdrawing money from the company account to his own hands. He simply leaves all the money to the company to maintain daily expenses and prepare for the next expansion.

The company has developed so rapidly that Chen Feng, who was supposed to be a hands-off boss, has to get busy.

Meng Xiaozhou needs to learn how to adapt to the industry. As a professional manager, he needs to understand the management style of Chen Feng, the helmsman.

Only by working together tacitly can Meng Xiaozhou know which things Chen Feng doesn't care about and doesn't need to report separately, and which things are very important and must be reported in time.

Although Chen Feng wants Meng Xiaozhou to take care of everything, he has to give Meng Xiaozhou enough time to adjust, so he is also wrapped up in many affairs.

On the contrary, Ou Junlang, the grandson thief, lives the most comfortable life.

Unlike ordinary artists, Fatty is too lazy to contact any brand endorsements, and has no interest in commercial performances.

To use Fatty's original words, it is very real.

"I'm just starting out, why should I take these jobs? Can they help me sing better? Can they make me more famous? No, they can only consume my influence. These endorsement resources are too poor. Look at this thermal underwear, Master, it only makes one million dollars a year, not even as much as the pocket money my dad gives me. It's not that I won't take endorsements at all, but I have to wait until I'm more famous, and I need top resources from the beginning."

So this guy used the name of album promotion to fly around the country to travel.

He would go on TV shows from time to time to brag about his master, and would appear on music radio stations from time to time to brag about his master. In short, he was very happy.

But on this day, Chen Feng finally finished reading the quarterly income and expenditure budget table that Meng Xiaozhou asked the finance department to prepare. When he wanted to leave, the office door was pushed open by Meng Xiaozhou again.

"Teacher Chen, there is a very important cooperation here."

Chen Feng rubbed his brows, "Manager Meng, if others want to give us money for cooperation, just accept it directly, don't ask me."

"No. The situation is this. Hollywood director Neil Brockamp called personally and said that he wanted to use "Bath of Fire" as the theme song of his movie."

Chen Feng was stunned, and his fingers tapped on the keyboard to find the information.

He stroked his chin and said, "The investment in this sci-fi film is 150 million US dollars, which is the production standard of A-level films."

Meng Xiaozhou said excitedly, "Yes, this is our opportunity. If we can successfully reach a cooperation, our company can enter the European and American markets. I thought this day would come sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so soon."

Chen Feng thought to himself that in fact I didn't expect it either, but he didn't show it on his face, and only asked, "But doesn't it say here that it will be released next month? Then it should have been completed by now, and the theme song hasn't been finalized yet? Impossible."

"The specific situation is like this..."

After listening to Meng Xiaozhou, Chen Feng understood.

This Neil Brockamp is a man of temperament, very tough.

His new sci-fi blockbuster "Chaos" has indeed been completed and will be released soon.

But just yesterday, after listening to the song "Bath of Fire", although he didn't understand the language, he could hear the rhythm behind the song and determined that this was the theme song he had always dreamed of.

So he temporarily increased the budget, rejected the original theme song, and turned to Xingfeng Entertainment for cooperation.

"The other party's specific requirement is to rewrite the lyrics of "Bath of Fire" and adapt it into an English version. They will invite Katie Swift to sing. The one-time licensing fee is one million US dollars, and the subsequent dividends and other details are all in this fax contract."

Meng Xiaozhou handed over a contract written entirely in English.

Chen Feng said he couldn't understand it and was too lazy to read it, so he just read it.

Then he fell into deep thought.

"Bath of Fire" has no English version, only a Chinese version.

At least that's the case in the timeline that Chen Feng has experienced so far.

So it was difficult for him to write lyrics.

But he was not willing to leave this matter to others. If another poor-quality English version of "Bathing in Fire" interfered with the realm of the song itself, it would be a bit more loss than gain.

"Well, I'll ask Zhong Lei to see if she's interested. After all, English is not my mother tongue, and I didn't write the lyrics of "Bathing in Fire". If I adapt it, it will inevitably not convey the meaning and lack charm."

Zhong Lei quickly gave the answer.

She thought it was feasible. Her English was pretty good, but she needed the cooperation of the other singer.

Chen Feng immediately made the decision, "Okay, then accept it!"

In view of the fact that Chen Feng felt that he was not good at negotiation, especially the language barrier in cross-border cooperation negotiations, he entrusted the matter to Meng Xiaozhou.

When Meng Xiaozhou represented Chen Feng in a formal telephone conference with the other party, Zhong Lei rushed to Chen Feng's office.

The two discussed the translation of the lyrics for a long time, but there was no result.

The phonetic symbols and pronunciation of English and Chinese are completely different. When composing lyrics, the control of rhythm and rhyme is extremely different, and the difficulty of adaptation is not small.

If you want to completely maintain the original meaning of the lyrics of Yuhuo, it is difficult to create English lyrics of the same level.

Zhong Lei said, "First of all, we have to consider the pronunciation habits of foreign singers. If that doesn't work, we can sacrifice the original meaning of the lyrics and let Katy Swift take the lead in rewriting the lyrics."

Chen Feng shook his head, "Not appropriate."

"Why?" Zhong Lei actually wanted to say that the original author of her lyrics didn't mind, so you should be more generous. Believe in the level of international superstars, Sister Guo Mei is still very powerful.

Chen Feng didn't explain, he just disagreed.

Only he knew the importance of the song "Bath of Fire".

In the future, there will be two versions of "Bath of Fire", which is a very complicated situation.

It is not that one plus one equals two.

It is very likely that the two versions will cancel each other out, and in the end one plus one will be less than two, making "Bath of Fire" lose its magic and fail to become a military song.

"Forget it, let's put this aside for now. Let's talk about my new song."

Zhong Lei changed the topic after they couldn't come to a conclusion.

Chen Feng was slightly surprised, "Has "Self-Ignition" been recorded?"

"Yes! As long as you approve, it will be available this afternoon! This is my first complete work as a singer under your company!"

Chen Feng swallowed his saliva, "It's really fast."

"No matter how fast I am, I can't be one tenth as fast as you. Let me listen to it first?"

Zhong Lei pulled Chen Feng to the newly built recording studio and asked him to listen to it with the dedicated recording monitoring headphones and the consumer-grade Emperor Da Ao headphones.

The Da Ao was "borrowed" from Ou Junlang's recording studio. There are only a few complete systems in the country, and he doesn't plan to return it.

"How is it? Give some comments?" Zhong Lei looked at Chen Feng expectantly.

Chen Feng's previous comments on "Bath of Fire" were so insightful, and every sentence was a true insight that went straight to the essence of the phenomenon. There were also many new music theories that Zhong Lei had never heard of, but she knew they made a lot of sense after just one listen.

Zhong Lei was amazed at Chen Feng's ability to appreciate music and admired him very much.

Therefore, she attached great importance to Chen Feng's opinions.

Chen Feng avoided her expectant eyes and racked his brains to organize his words.
