Big stars who came out of football

Chapter 35 35: Signing with Warner Records

The next day, Claire got up very early. Before 8 o'clock in the morning, Claire had already completed his physical training program.

"I can't believe that an Asian is so good physically. If you hadn't suffered a lung injury when you were a child, you would definitely be able to make more contributions to Manchester United on the court."

Claire was walking towards the door while listening to Ronaldo's fitness coach praising herself. Claire was already satisfied with these obedient words, because this is what the fitness coach said to him the most every day!

Claire was very happy to hear it at first, but when Claire knew that Ronaldo had to pay him 1 pounds per hour in order to let his physical coach help him with recovery training, Claire was unwilling to listen. .

As the old saying goes, "loyal words are harmful to the ear and good for deeds", the ancestors never lied.

"Yes, yes, you are right, I hope you can tell Sir Alex Ferguson that I miss Manchester United very much when he comes, and I really want to return to the court to play again."

"Don't worry, don't worry, Sir Alex Ferguson has not forgotten you. Yesterday he asked me for a report on your physical fitness in the last few days."

On the way back to the ward, Claire also had a little bit of an addiction to being a star, not only signed a few names, but also took a group photo with a few young nurses who are extremely hot.

After entering the ward, Claire looked at the empty ward and the nutritious meals on the table. Claire was still a little unaccustomed to it. Lucy didn't come today because there was a Wolves game against West Bromwich Albion today. the match of.

Lucy Piddle is the resident football baby of the Wolves. This is his job, and Claire can't influence him.

"Hey, I'm still short of money. My uncle bought me this suit. When will I be able to live the life I want." Claire sighed while looking at her handsome self in the mirror while wearing the suit.

Claire in a suit stood on the side of the road and looked at Hyde Park, which was a different scene from last night, and said with emotion: "Tsk, you evil capitalist, wait for me. I'm rich. I'll build a 24-hour free park." Rest room, just let the homeless live in it, shit."

Claire, who was sitting in a taxi, looked at the streets of London during the day with great interest. Claire's destination this time was the West End of London, where the rich and social elites have long been the center of attention due to the concentration of many commercial districts and leisure and entertainment facilities. area of ​​residence.

Among them, the one that caught Claire's eyes the most is a place called Lincoln Street, where there is a Lincoln Park and Lincoln Square, as well as a 66-story Lincoln apartment.

Surrounded by some well-known institutions that Clare is familiar with~
From schools and universities, to corporate headquarters and global banks, what surprised Claire most was that there were more than 50 well-known law firms and the famous Royal Court of Justice within a short distance of a few meters. When visiting Huahe and Amazon's headquarters, Claire took a few extra serious glances.

"That's bullshit. In 30 years in Hedong and in 30 years in Hexi, I can do it."

The taxi driver looked at Claire who spoke Chinese with disgust, looking like a bumpkin, and then the driver looked at the meter on the taxi with some concern: "I don't know if you can afford the taxi." Car money."

Claire glanced at the luxuriously decorated Devonshire private club in front of her, and secretly smacked her tongue, but Claire still pretended to be calm and took out 3 big bills from his pocket and threw them at the co-pilot of the taxi. English said: "Hey, it's your honor for me to be a taxi, don't look down on people with my skin color, you idiot."

After Claire finished speaking, she put her hands in his pockets and walked to the most low-key private club in Devonshire in the City of London. The taxi driver sitting in the cab blushed and sat at the door for a long time without saying a word. If it wasn't for the security at the gate to drive him away, maybe he would have chased him out of the car to apologize, because Claire took off his mask while paying.

"Manchester United's stupid son! what fxxk~" The driver slammed the steering wheel of the taxi with annoyed expression, and walked away not far away while muttering.

Claire, the name of the private club in Devonshire, has heard of it more or less. Although the annual fee here is only 2000 pounds a year, it may not be expensive at first glance, but this private club implements an "invitation system". New members Joining needs to be recommended by existing members and approved by the committee.

Due to its geographical location, this new club has gathered a large number of young financial elites. Claire immediately felt the financial atmosphere here as soon as she walked into the lobby~
“Google’s stock may rise, there’s a lot of good news”

"Several futures funds have performed well this year. Do you have any better investment suggestions?"

"I heard that Deloitte recently won the external audit business of Amazon's overseas warehouses. Amazon is also doing very well in the stock market."

The endless stream of financial information kept piercing into Claire's ears as if he didn't want money, but Claire was a little surprised when he saw a table of people waiting for him not far away.

Daniel Sharp sitting behind Pete Tang~
When she saw Claire just appeared in a suit, Daniel's eyes suddenly lit up, but she seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and the happy little face that was originally there suddenly became elongated.

Claire, who just sat down, heard the snort of a little princess from Daniel who didn't give her face at all. Claire ignored him and nodded politely to everyone at the table.

Pete Tang took the lead in breaking the dull atmosphere on this table: "Hello, I have heard about you for a long time~"

"Ah, hahaha, no, you are Daniel's uncle. I often hear her mentioning you to me. I am also very grateful that you commented on my song in the Guardian. If you did not have your comment, I would It won't be as hot as it is today~"

Pete Tang turned his head and glanced at Daniel, who was still sulking behind him, but smiled: "I am also surprised that you can choose Warner Records to negotiate this time. I thought you would choose Universal Records, after all, Gavin Harris You often tell me that the two of you have a very good personal relationship."

Gavin Harris' agent is at Rihanna's studio, but Universal Music is responsible for Gavin's record release. Claire is not surprised that Pete Tang can ask this question.

But Claire didn't answer either, just bowed his head and took a sip of the coffee brought by the waiter, because if Claire guessed correctly, they must be from Warner Records.

In fact, the reason why Claire chose Warner Records instead of Universal Music is very simple, because Warner Records is backed by the eight Warner Brothers in Hollywood, and the last few years have also been the most glorious time for Warner Records.

The music of many big-selling movies comes from Warner Records. The theme song of [Transformers 2] was made by Warner Records to help Linkin Park operate. Without Warner Records, Linkin Park may not be able to stand out from the underground music bands.

As for Universal Music Records, they are better at concert tours, etc., but Claire doesn’t think he has enough time to do some world tour music, and he only has one song now~
Whether the next song will be popular or not, Clare herself doesn't know.

Pete Tang saw Claire sitting there without saying a word, and immediately knew that Claire was sitting there wondering why he came to the scene. It is very likely that Claire already regarded himself as an unexpected guest at this time. I couldn't help laughing: "Costa Mayor! This is the UK manager of Warner Records who is in charge of negotiating with you on the release of the single this time. As for me appearing here, I am curious about you on the one hand, and on the other hand Just wanted to thank you for taking care of my niece recently."

Claire first took a look at Costa Mayor, a middle-aged man who looked very aura. If you look at him without his identity, Costa Mayor looks like an IT guy, thick With a thick belly and relatively loose hair, it is difficult to attract the attention of others, but a woman sitting next to him is quite beautiful.

"Claire Lee, hello, I'm a fan of Manchester United. I can see how you turned the tide at Manchester United that day."

"But don't mind, Mr. Pete Tang came here because he said he was very interested in you, and I happened to be at his house at the time, so he agreed to come with me."

Listening to the explanations of the two old men opposite, Claire waved her hands indifferently and explained: "Oh, I don't mean anything else. In fact, I didn't reject Universal Records. I just think that Warner Records is more conducive to my song. For sale, I need money~"

Claire's straightforwardness didn't surprise a few people at the table, because this is how everyone talks in the West. As for the so-called intrigue, it really doesn't matter to Claire, an Internet expert who became popular because of an accident.

Pete Tang glanced at his good friend Costa Mayor, and Costa Mayor nodded lightly: "Actually, I'm also surprised that you became popular this time, your song came from In the traditional sense, it can only be regarded as first-hand electronic music, but we have very little operating experience for this type of singer, but we are willing to try new ones to experience, after all, the electronic music market in recent years has indeed been very hot.”

After hearing what the other party said, Claire didn't rush to answer, but took out a pen and Ben from his pocket very seriously and sat down to record seriously.

The woman on Costa Mayor's side didn't say anything, but the secretary on Costa Mayor's left looked at his boss with embarrassment. Fortunately, his boss didn't say anything.

"Actually, what I value most is your identity as an overseas Chinese. I don't know if you have heard that we have reached a cooperation with the China Film Group in China. If it goes well, we can also help you enter the mainland market."

"In the end, I personally have a little doubt about your creative ability. If possible, do you have any other works to show me? Because I heard that you didn't have the ability to compose and listen to songs in the past. Hobby."

After Costa Mayor finished answering, he habitually touched his looser hair. Claire did not rush to answer the other party but rubbed it vigorously with both hands. After thinking for a long time, Claire replied: "You said a lot In my opinion, you actually want to know if I have the ability to create, right?"

"You can rest assured that if we reach a cooperation, I can show you the demo of my next song right away."

"My style of music is not limited to a single genre. Since I chose you, I believe in your strength, and I hope you can trust me. After all, everyone has a first time."

Claire looked at Costa Mayor on the opposite side seriously: "A very sincere answer, I heard that you may play against Benfica in the next game. I hope you have a good performance. Your player status is very important. You are a big plus."

"Thank you~"

"Well, Mr. Pete Tang's platform, player status, and overseas Chinese! I have to say that all of these are very attractive, and you also have a song that has exceeded [-] million likes on YouTube." Costa Mayor looked at the information about Claire Lee on the table and involuntarily took a deep breath: "You are very young, we are willing to take a gamble."

Claire Lee immediately relaxed his tense muscles when he heard Costa Mayor's words, but immediately after Costa Mayor's next sentence made him jump up excitedly.

"I'm willing to give you a record management contract for two years. Of course, this is for the sake of Mr. Peter Tang."

"The sharing standard between us is 6 for us and 4 for you! We will pay you the first signing fee of 450 million pounds in the first year. Of course, this income is after tax."

"If you perform better in the future, of course we can negotiate an amicable signing fee."

Claire didn't bring a lawyer or finance. After Costa Mayor drafted the contract, Claire didn't look at the contract in a hurry. Instead, she looked at Pete Tang, because Danielle sitting behind him Sharp was there nodding and gesticulating at him.

"Sign it, I'm here, you can be regarded as a newcomer who walked out of my bar, this contract is already very favorable compared to the five-year contract, and as far as I know, that old man Malcolm is from you this time That's over £100 million, but he only pays you around £5 a week."

Claire looked at Pete Tang's behavior on the opposite side and suddenly felt a little cold in his heart. The opponent's group obviously found out his old background. You must know that Claire only found out how much his salary in the team was yesterday.

"Why are you moaning!"

"Can you act like a man, my uncle asked someone to find Jeff Bewkes!"

Claire watched as Danielle Sharp ran around half of the table excitedly and grabbed his arm, jumping and jumping in front of her.

Claire also looked at the few people on the opposite side with an embarrassing expression~
Especially Danielle's uncle Pete Tang, because Claire saw that Pete Tang's face had gradually turned black. The woman sitting not far away and Warner Records UK head Costa Mayor both He covered his mouth and smiled secretly.

Claire also looked at Danielle Sharp who was standing in front of her with an embarrassing face, neither sitting nor standing, even talking Claire didn't dare to look at her at this time~
In order to avoid embarrassment, Claire hurriedly glanced at the contract and wrote down his name "Shuashuashua". However, when signing, Claire not only wrote down "Claire Lee", but also wrote down his name. The Chinese name [Li Yifeng] was written down.

After Danielle Sharp saw Claire sign his name, Danielle Sharp jumped around the floor as if she had won £450 million herself.

Pete Tang stared at her niece blankly and said nothing, but Costa Mayor also let out a sigh of relief after taking over the contract.

"Mr. Claire, welcome to become the 162nd signing artist of Warner Music UK!"

When Claire saw that the coffee in front of her had turned into red wine, Claire was hesitant at first, but the gestures of several people around her were deadlocked in mid-air, so Claire had to touch everyone.

"It's a pleasure to join Warner Music~"

The celebration wine did not ease the atmosphere on the table. Instead, after Danielle Sharp drank a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere on the table became more and more awkward.
