Knock,
knock, knock! Chen Feng knocked on the door loudly.
Zhong Lei was awakened from her sleep without even having time to put on her pajamas. She thought it was an earthquake and quickly jumped out of bed, opened the door and rushed out.
The two of them bumped heads.
If it was the old Chen Feng, he would have been knocked down.
But now, after four months of military training in his dreams, coupled with constant physical training, his body is very strong. He subconsciously exerted force in the face of emergencies, which made his lower body very stable.
Not only did he not fall, but he supported Zhong Lei.
Now, the white and tender girl with a faint body fragrance fell into his arms.
Feeling the impact on his chest, he lowered his head slightly again.
White, buds.
Very curvy.
Usually she wrapped herself tightly, so Chen Feng couldn't tell.
It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance. She looks thin when she's dressed, but super muscular when she's undressed.
"What are you doing! What on earth are you trying to do!"
Zhong Lei struggled out of Chen Feng's arms, almost roaring.
Chen Feng turned around and ran downstairs, "I have something to discuss with you, you get dressed first."
Ten minutes later...
"So you knocked me out of bed so early in the morning and scared me to death, just because you slept all night and then told me without any reason that you refused to sign a contract with Kugou?"
In Zhong Lei's room, Zhong Lei, who was wearing pajamas, put her hands on her hips and glared at Chen Feng, who was sitting on the sofa with his hands on his knees.
Originally, he did not think that his behavior was abrupt, but later facts proved that he was abrupt.
Very abrupt, very abrupt.
Now Chen Feng, who is still guilty, silently lowered his head, trying his best to control himself from thinking about the scene just now.
Flesh-colored white, pure white.
Don't think about the fierce and elastic touch.
Chen Feng put his hands in his trouser pockets and silently moved a protruding part to retain the last bit of integrity.
"I'm asking you a question. You have to give me an explanation today."
Zhong Lei was really angry, as if she was an active volcano on the verge of eruption.
This time it was really not her fault. Anyone who encountered such a thing would be furious and firmly believe that the other party had bad intentions and deliberately banged on the door early in the morning just to see her disheveled appearance and take advantage of her.
If it were in the past, she would have probably sprayed at Chen Feng.
But now the relationship between the two is different from the past after all. She also believes in Chen Feng's talent and doesn't think he could be that kind of person.
"Yes."
Chen Feng replied honestly.
Zhong Lei was stunned, "What is it?"
"I woke you up just to tell you that I decided not to sign a contract with KuGe, what else could it be."
Chen Feng continued to speak in a very single manner.
Zhong Lei was dumbfounded, "Are you crazy?"
Although the copyright of this song belongs entirely to him and he also owns 70% of the copyright, it is reasonable that he should have the final say, but his sudden and unreasonable request made Zhong Lei very uncomfortable.
"Are you kidding me? I have been running back and forth to KuGe for so many days, what do you want? Now that the matter has come to an end, you inexplicably say that you don't want to sign?"
Zhong Lei couldn't accept it in her heart. This was equivalent to completely denying her efforts for many days.
Seeing that she would never agree, Chen Feng was in a dilemma.
Although according to the provisions of the private contract between the two, he has a veto power.
But he cannot completely ignore Zhong Lei's feelings.
Chen Feng pondered for a while and tried to come up with an excuse.
"Well, actually I didn't want to tell you this, but if you really want to ask, then I can only tell you."
"You tell me."
Chen Feng smiled mysteriously, "Don't you think KuGe's reaction is strange? Their attitude towards you changed 180 degrees. Did it happen before or after listening to the DEMO?"
Zhong Lei thought about it carefully, "The other party said that the head of the copyright department listened to the DEMO and thought it was good and was very satisfied, so he gave us a Class B contract."
Chen Feng held up two fingers, "Two doubts. First, is it just good? Second, they didn't want to listen before, and just told you to wait in line for notification, after all, they have acquired too many copyrights recently, right? But why was it suddenly sent to the supervisor, and then listened to it? "
Zhong Lei was at a loss, her intuition told her that something was wrong, but she was not an old man who was good at scheming, and it was a bit difficult for her to sort out the twists and turns.
Chen Feng smiled and said, "You don't understand, do you? Let me tell you. KuGe's attitude was cold before, which is normal. After all, a big store bullies customers. Although KuGe is better to newcomers than Qyin, the degree is limited. They receive at least dozens or hundreds of new submissions every day. It will take at least ten days to half a month to review ours one by one."
Zhong Lei nodded, "I understand this, but I don't understand the subsequent changes."
"The reason why they suddenly became very enthusiastic is actually because someone greeted them."
Zhong Lei was stunned, "Who would greet us?"
"Help us? You think too much. Their reply to you was that it was not bad and they were very satisfied. It was these two inappropriate words that exposed the fact that they had never heard the song! You and I both know the quality of this song."
Zhong Lei thought for a long time, "Although your analysis makes sense, it is only inference after all, which cannot be used as evidence in court. Your reasoning alone is not enough to negate my efforts for several days, right?"
Chen Feng immediately smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I knew you would say that. So I didn't want to say it. You know the situation of my job, I deal with a lot of people from all walks of life. My informant gave me some information."
"What's the matter?"
"Hanzhou is such a small place, it's normal for some people to know each other. The person who greeted Lin Youyi, the head of the copyright department of KuGe, was Zhou A, whom we offended a few days ago! They are going to set a big trap for us!"
Zhong Lei was shocked, "What, it's him? How did you know?"
Chen Feng snorted, "I told you it's an undercover agent, so don't ask more questions. Anyway, it's enough for you to know that this is the case."
Zhong Lei pretended to be enlightened, "When I came out of KuGe yesterday afternoon, I did run into Zhou A, but he didn't come up to provoke me, and I ignored him. I didn't expect him to backfire on us."
Chen Feng's mouth twitched, and he wanted to curse in his heart.
You didn't tell me such important information yesterday. If I hadn't traveled back a thousand years and studied your biography in detail, and gradually unraveled the truth from many versions of the biography, I would have been tricked.
"It was probably just a coincidence that you met Zhou A. His going to Kugou was another matter. But at that time, he saw that you came from Kugou, and he had a lot of connections in that platform. After a little inquiry, he knew that we were going to sell songs to Kugou. So, according to Zhou A and Lin Youyi's ideas, they probably pretended to use a Class B contract to seduce us to sign it. But after that, I'm afraid we won't have the final say."
Zhong Lei After a moment of fear, he nodded repeatedly, "That's right."
Seeing that he finally convinced her, Chen Feng felt relieved and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Then I'll go downstairs to catch my breath first, and we'll think of a way to contact Q Yin directly later. No matter how long Zhou A's hands are, they can't reach Q Yin, whose headquarters is in Yucheng. It's okay to suffer a little loss in the early stage, which is better than being tricked and locked up for a few years."
After saying that, Chen Feng ran away.
Thinking back to the next few years recorded in Zhong Lei's biography, he really sighed.
Now Zhong Lei's life has been changed by him once, and there are two versions including the first time.
In these two versions of the future, Zhong Lei suffered losses from Zhou A twice, but the losses were different each time.
The first time, Zhou A used his connections in major nightclubs in Hanzhou to severely suppress Zhong Lei, causing her to almost sleep on the street when she was at her lowest point.
Zhong Lei had no choice but to go to the street to sell songs and play guitar. She didn't survive until she wrote "Boring" several years later and posted it online, which became an overnight hit. Only then did she barely get through the difficulties.
This time, it was because Chen Feng changed history and allowed Zhong Lei to sing "Boring" a few years earlier, but she still became popular in 2024.
In the next few months, Zhong Lei wrote "Boring" and sang "It's Late at Night". The release date did not change, and the platform was also on KuGe.
However, these works were suppressed on the KuGe platform for five years before they finally got rid of the suppression and glowed with the light they deserved.
The reason is that the Class B contract that Lin Youyi brought out was not a standard version, and there were two hidden pitfalls in it.
According to the regulations of this hidden pitfall, Kugou has a five-year priority over Zhong Lei's songs, which means that in these five years, all the songs created by Zhong Lei can only be transferred to other platforms unless Kugou doesn't want them.
But Kugou always holds on to it. Not only does it not provide any support resources, it also madly lowers the weight and reduces the exposure of the songs. If there is a slight improvement, it simply technically blocks the songs. There is no way they can become popular.
Chen Feng and Zhong Lei were not careful for a while, and they didn't understand the law well enough, so they stepped into this pit.
The two of them endured for five years together. When the copyright contract expired, the songs were re-released on Q Music, and finally saw the light of day.
Such a vicious method was just a little trick for Zhou Ah, but it really affected the fate of Chen Feng and Zhong Lei.
The two were powerless to resist.
This is the class gap, just like a servant from the fairy world descended to the human world, and a sneeze could kill the top masters in the human world.
But this time Chen Feng still won, so Zhou Ah, who was eagerly waiting to watch the show, was destined to wait in vain.
Because Chen Feng cheated.
