Whether the negotiation succeeds or fails, there is no need to say more.
Guo Xing saw the faces of Lu Fei and Zhang Tianmei when they came out. The answer was clear at a glance. He couldn't help but be surprised. The four record giants plus Microsoft couldn't force Sony to commit the crime?
"This is better."
Lu Fei's lips curled up. He imagined that Sony could agree or not, and he could become the ultimate villain BOSS in the game, defeat powerful enemies and become famous all over the world. He wished that Sony would not agree and be a stepping stone.
"Mr. Lu, it's Sony after all, are you sure?" Guo Xing felt uneasy.
"What are you afraid of? We are fighting elites!"
Lu Fei is confident that Sony is no longer the Sony it used to be. The three major departments of hardware, software, and content are fighting openly and secretly, and the overall collaborative ability that they are proud of has disappeared.
"Don't Neon people like to go down and get up? Let's give Sony, an old man, a hard time."
Listening to his heroic words, Guo Xing, Zhang Tianmei and others were affected, and their heavy worries slowly disappeared.
The group of people took a car and arrived at the Cooper Brothers Advertising Agency recommended by Roger.
Although it does not have 4A certification, its business is all companies in the recording industry and Hollywood, and its customer satisfaction rate exceeds 90%.
“We are professionals and there is no problem in leaving it to us.”
Big Cooper attaches great importance to Lu Fei as a customer, brings the core of the entire team, listens carefully to the needs of Party A's father, and even makes colorful black!
Lu Fei's eloquent talk closely focused on the three key words of avant-garde, sense of technology and sense of fashion.
Little Cooper's mind was wide open and he came up with two plans.
Either it’s the painting style in Michael Jackson’s “Scream”, walking in the interstellar space, or the hacker theme of “The Matrix”, just in time to invite Keanu Reeves, who is a popular star in Hollywood at this time.
Big Cooper smiled and said: "Keanu formed a deep friendship with us when he was still a model before he debuted. As long as the money is available..."
Lu Fei directly objected: "No, I don't plan to ask celebrities to endorse, singers, actors, none of them, these are too vulgar."
The road to celebrity endorsement is blocked. Big Cooper and others gave several design inspirations, but without exception, they were all not up to standard.
"Lu, I think what we just mentioned is good."
Big Cooper couldn't help but feel irritated. If it weren't for the sake of Warner and money, he would have been kicked out of the company long ago. This guy is too difficult to maintain!
Little Cooper is most annoyed by the gesticulating Party A. If you can do it, go ahead, but if you can’t, don’t beep.
As a result, Lu Fei really fell in love.
“The advertising effect I wanted was a dark silhouette.
The background is colorful, lmusic is pure white, and the person wearing the MP3 player has no face, only a black outline, combining black silhouettes of dancing figures with pop music..."
Under his vivid description, the picture slowly emerged in the minds of the Cooper brothers, with simple lines full of movement.
"Wow! Genius, genius idea!"
Big Cooper couldn't help but admire, his hands were itchy, and he impromptuly started to draw the little man on the paper, and he drew a simple picture with just a few strokes:
"Is that so, Lu?"
"That's right!"
Lu Fei nodded and made some suggestions for revision.
“This inspiration is pretty cool!”
Little Cooper was inspired. Not only is the design wonderful, but the key black silhouette can perfectly avoid politically correct choices.
What kind of person can think of this!
The senior advertisers present all cast admiring glances.
Lu Fei smiled and said: "I hope to see the advertising samples this week. The channels and platforms for advertising placement. You also need to make a list as soon as possible. Are there any difficulties?"
"No!"
The Cooper brothers said in unison that the greatest advantage of this commercial is that it was shot quickly.
Lu Fei chatted with them for a while, signed the contract and left.
…………
In the next two days, contracts came one after another, like snowflakes, including a Microsoft financing agreement, a Wal-Mart supply contract, and a Costco settlement agreement...
Lu Fei rushed around New York City non-stop from morning to night, signing signatures, fingerprints, and socializing. He was busy until December 1st, either on the road or on his way there.
"Mr. Lu, this is the last one."
Guo Xing walked out of the door of Best Buy and got into the car.
Lu Fei breathed a sigh of relief at the cold hands, "Can the goods be spread out before Christmas Eve and Christmas?"
"No problem, 50,000 units of lmusic and 50,000 units of fantasy. This batch of goods is already at the customs."
Guo Xing grinned: "Mr. Lu, I have been walking around these days and done some market research. I think there is a huge market for our MP3s."

p; "Just found out?"
Lu Fei raised his lips, "Otherwise, how could I dare to challenge Sony and Apple! But you have to be mentally prepared. The sales are going crazy. You may have to stay abroad before the end of the year."
"No problem at all, we are used to it at Huawei!"
Guo Xing said it forcefully, and then showed a thief's smile: "As long as the money is enough."
"Money is not a problem! Things that can be motivated by money are not a problem. When lmusic becomes a big hit, and when you come back, I will celebrate your success."
Lu Fei waved his hand with great courage.
While the two were talking, the car slowly stopped at the recording studio designated by Roger.
Guo Xing entered the Grand View Garden like Grandma Liu and looked at the layout and decoration curiously. Everything here seemed strange and new to the science and engineering man, and his mind was still filled with confusion——
There are so many singers, why choose Linkin Park?
Lu Fei patiently explained that in every era, there are popular rock types and representative bands.
Just like Queen was to the glam rock of the 1970s and Guns N' Roses was to the hard rock of the 1980s, Nirvana set off the grunge rock trend in the 1990s...
At the turn of the millennium in 2000, among all the rock music, Linkin Park was undoubtedly the shining star.
The manager stood at the door of the recording studio and introduced the two of them. They saw a short, thin man with earrings and a lip stud, who looked quite punk.
He is, of course, lead singer Chester Bennington.
"Do you want our songs? Do you want our songs to be put on the website for thieves to download for free?"
"Easy, it's a fee!"
Lu Fei looked around at the members of Linkin Park, and finally his eyes fell on Chester Bennington, and explained Spotify's operating model in a concise and concise manner.
"fuxk, someone finally took the right path!"
Chester Bennington slapped his thigh and immediately went out of his way to display all the songs that had been recorded on the computer without reservation.
"We spent more than nine months preparing 20 songs, and planned to finally select 12 to make an album. You beat us to it, you pick first."
Lu Fei said half-jokingly: "Any song is fine? What if your title song is chosen?"
"Every song here is the title song.".c0m
Chester Bennington showed an extremely confident smile, "Just pick any one you want, just think of it as our contribution to the fight against piracy."
The other members of Linkin Park agreed.
"Then you can be of great help."
Lu Fei was not polite, moved a chair, and sat in front of the computer.
All the candidate songs of Linkin Park are named with "date + working name". They don't have official names yet, so they can only be listened to one after another.
When listening to song 7, a familiar melody surrounds the ears.
"IvebecomesonumbIcantfeelyouthere
Becomesotiredsomuchmoreaware
IvebecomingthisallIwanttodo
Isbemorelikemeandbelesslikeyou…”
Lu Fei's eyes suddenly lit up and his eyes flickered. He didn't even need to listen to the rest of the song. He immediately agreed and wanted this one.
"Hiss~"
The members of Linkin Park took a deep breath, you really know your stuff, and you immediately fell in love with the best of the best.
"No, absolutely not."
The agent didn't care about Roger's face and firmly opposed it.
This song is the strongest among the 20 songs, and it can definitely boost the sales of the entire album exponentially.
"What do you think?"
Instead of asking about Linkin Park, Lu Fei was actually asking about Chester Bennington.
"Of course, we have agreed!"
He kept his promise and gave what he said he would.
Lu Fei touched his chin, "Can I pick it out and release it as a single simultaneously? Does this song have a title?"
"Not yet. It's up to you to name the one you choose."
"Just call it Numb."
"numbness?"
Everyone in Linkin Park was shocked one after another and tasted it carefully, but Chester Bennington couldn't wait and wanted to know the hidden meaning inside.
Lu Fei rolled his eyes and said eloquently:
“We can no longer be numb to piracy!
We must not be numb to music!
We are no longer numb to life!
After using lmusic, you and I are no longer numb! "
