I Really Didn’t Want to be a Savior

In short, Chen Feng is prosperous.

Although he is not on par with billionaires, it is not long before his personal net worth exceeds eight digits.

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

Even if you want to buy it, you have to wait until you have more money to buy a luxury house in one step. At present, the money is not enough.

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

The company grew so rapidly that Chen Feng, the promised boss, had to keep busy.

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

Only with tacit understanding can Meng Xiaozhou know which things Chen Feng didn't care about and didn't need to be reported separately. Those things were very important and must be reported in time.

Although Chen Feng wanted Meng Xiaozhou to take care of everything, he had to give Meng Xiaozhou enough time to adjust, so he was also involved in many affairs.

On the contrary, Ou Junlang, the thief, lived the most prosperous life.

Unlike ordinary artists, Fatty doesn't even bother to get involved in brand endorsements, and he has no interest in performing acupuncture.

In Fatty's original words, it's very true.

"I've just started now, why do I take these jobs? Will it make me sing better? Will it increase my fame? No, it can only consume my influence. These endorsement resources are too poor, Master, look at this Thermal underwear only costs one million a year, which is not as much as the pocket money my dad gives me. I’m not completely refusing to accept endorsements, but I have to wait until I become more popular, and I need top-notch resources from the beginning.”

So under the guise of promoting the album, this guy was actually traveling all over the country.

From time to time, he would go on a TV show and brag about his master's awesomeness. From time to time, he would appear on a music radio station and brag about his master's awesomeness. In short, it was very satisfying.

But on this day, Chen Feng finally finished reading the quarterly income and expenditure budget statement that Meng Xiaozhou asked the finance department to prepare. He wanted to get rid of it, but Meng Xiaozhou pushed the office door open again.

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

Chen Feng rubbed his brows and said, "Manager Meng, if someone wants to give us money for cooperation, just accept it directly, but don't ask me."

"No. That's what happened. Hollywood director Neill Brokamp personally called and said he wanted to use "Bad in Fire" as the theme song for his movie."

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

He rubbed his chin and said: "The investment in this science fiction film is US$150 million, which is the production standard of an A-level film."

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

Chen Fengxin said that actually I didn't expect it, but he kept a calm expression on his face and just asked: "But didn't it say it will be released next month? Then the production should have been completed by now, and the theme has not been finalized yet. Qu? Impossible."

"The specific situation is this..."

After listening to Meng Xiaozhou's words, Chen Feng understood.

Neil Brokamp is a man of temperament and very tough.

Its new sci-fi blockbuster "Chaos Space" has indeed been produced and will be released soon.

But just yesterday, after he listened to the song "Bathing in Fire", despite the language barrier, he could hear the charm behind the song and was sure that this was the theme song of his dreams.

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

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

Meng Xiaozhou handed over a contract in English.

Chen Feng said he didn't understand it and was too lazy to read it. Just read it.

Then he fell into deep thought.

"Bath of Fire" does not have an 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 English version of "Bad in Fire" with poor quality was produced and interfered with the realm of the song itself, it would be a bit more gain than loss.

"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 fail to convey the meaning and lack of 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 agreed, "Okay, I'll take it!"

Since Chen Feng felt that he was not good at negotiating, especially the language barrier when negotiating cross-border cooperation, he entrusted the matter to Meng Xiaozhou.

When Meng Xiaozhou held a formal conference call with the other party on behalf of Chen Feng, Zhong Lei rushed to Chen Feng's office.

The two discussed translating the lyrics for a long time, but to no avail.

The phonetic symbols and pronunciation methods of English and Chinese are completely different, and the control of rhythm and rhyme when creating lyrics is extremely different, making adaptation difficult.

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

Zhong Lei said: "First of all, we have to consider the pronunciation habits of foreign language singers. If it doesn't work, we can sacrifice the original meaning of the lyrics and let Katie Swift take the lead in adapting and writing the lyrics."

Chen Feng shook his head, "That's inappropriate."

"Why?" Zhong Lei actually wanted to say that she, the original author of the lyrics, doesn't mind, so just be more generous. I believe that Sister Guomu is still very powerful at the level of an international superstar.

If Chen Feng doesn't explain, he just doesn't agree.

Only he knew the importance of the song "Bad in Fire."

There will be two versions of "Bad in Fire" in the future, which is a very complicated situation.

It's not that one plus one equals two.

It is very likely that the two versions will offset each other's influence. In the end, one plus one is less than two, causing "Bad in Fire" to lose its magic and fail to become a military song.

"Forget it, let's play this for a while. Let's talk about my new song."

When the conversation couldn't produce any results, Zhong Lei changed the topic.

Chen Feng was slightly shocked, "Has the recording of "Self-Combustion" been completed?"

"Yes! As long as you approve it, it will be available on the shelves this afternoon! This is my first complete work as your singer!"

Chen Feng swallowed his saliva and said, "It's so fast."

"No matter how fast I am, I'm not even one-tenth as fast as you. Do you want to listen first?"

Zhong Lei pulled Chen Feng to the newly built recording studio and asked him to wear recording-specific monitoring headphones and consumer-grade Emperor Da'ao headphones to listen to it.

Da'ao "borrowed" it from Ou Junlang's recording studio. There are only a few complete systems in the country and he has no intention of returning it.

"How about it? Give me some evaluation?" Zhong Lei looked at Chen Feng expectantly.

Chen Feng's previous comments on "Bathing in Fire" were really insightful. Every sentence was a true insight that penetrated the phenomenon to reach the essence. There were also many brand-new music theories that Zhong Lei had never heard of, but she knew they made perfect sense after just one listen.

Zhong Lei was amazed and admired Chen Feng's music appreciation ability.

Therefore, she attaches great importance to Chen Feng's opinion.

Chen Feng avoided her expectant eyes and tried his best to organize his words.
