New York 2006

Chapter 108
Luo Ji took the microphone and said to the audience: "Thank you everyone, the concert is over. I wish you all the best to find the person you like tonight. Take him home."

"Logic, Logic, Logic. One more."

There were still many spectators at the scene who were still reluctant to stay, but Luo Ji waved goodbye and left.

The slow song at the end calmed down most of the concert audience. They saw Luo Ji leaving and stopped making trouble.Begin to exit in an orderly manner.

Luo Ji went to the locker room and spent 10 minutes washing off the sweat from his body, changing his clothes, and blow-drying his hair before walking outside.

Most of the audience had left the venue by now, and Luo Ji saw the busy figures of staff from various companies present.

The leader of the accompaniment team, a Chinese male accompanist, was directing his staff to put away their music equipment. People from SB Live Performance Company also packed up the equipment, props, stage scenery, and stage lighting under Braun's command.

The person in charge of Candlestick Stadium also directed employees to collect garbage on site and clean seats.

The person in charge of Live Nation walked up to Luo Ji and complimented him: "Logic, the concert was wonderful."

"Thank you."

"Are you interested in signing with our Utopia Entertainment Company? We are very optimistic about your potential. We will give you a very good signing condition."

"What kind of contract law?" Luo Ji asked curiously.

The person in charge of Live Nation explained: "All your future concerts will be handed over to our company. We will give you a certain signing bonus, but you have to complete a certain number of concerts every year. Of course, our company has to get You will definitely take a commission.”

"How much can you give me as a signing bonus?"

"This needs to be discussed with the company, but I can give you an estimate, no less than 5000 million dollars."

Fifty million was indeed a lot, but Luo Ji had already passed the point where he would be dizzy after spending so little money.As his wealth grew, Luo Ji's horizons grew higher and higher.

But he was still curious why they thought so highly of him: "Do you think so highly of me?"

The person in charge of Live Nation spread his hands: "Come on, Logic. In less than two months, your album has sold more than 500 million copies worldwide. You have established yourself as a superstar with just one album. Your relationship with Universal Music During the fight, we can also see that you are not a fool. If we don’t give you a satisfactory price, how can we possibly impress you."

Both Summit Entertainment and Utopia Entertainment Company could easily see through his disguise. It seems that if he pretends to be stupid in the future, it will be difficult to deceive these people.

Luo Ji said, "Well, since you have investigated me, I won't beat around the bush. I'm not short of money and don't want to be bound by a contract."

The person in charge of Live Nation was very wise and did not insist on insisting: "Okay, I just want to give it a try. You are different from many singers nowadays. You don't like someone to control you."

Luo Ji smiled and said, "You have found out everything."

"Haha, how can you do business these days without some brains?"

Luo Ji thought for a while and then asked: "So, you are very optimistic about the prospects of live performances in the future."

"Come on, although your company cooperates with our company, our two companies are in a competitive relationship to a certain extent. You expect me to tell you our company's judgment on the future."

Luo Ji said: "How can my company be in competition with your company? Your company is worth billions of dollars, and controls many concert venues across the country, as well as many concert ticket promotion channels. Just like Independent records must be dependent on those big record companies. We small live performance companies must also be dependent on giants like you."

The person in charge of Live Nation said: "Okay, you see clearly. But our company is not Universal Music, and we will force you to submit."

Luo Ji wanted to laugh when he heard this. It's not like Live Nation doesn't have a monopoly on this industry. With Anschutz Entertainment standing in the way, they don't have the ability to force people into submission even if they want to.

"Okay, I'm going to see how the equipment is packed. We'll see you tomorrow night."

"OK."

Luo Ji walked around and found that there were very few on-site equipment left. He nodded with satisfaction.

Just then Britney walked up to Luo Ji and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Luo Ji replied: "Let me see if there is anything missing. These are all the property of my company."

"You always seem to be so serious." Britney sighed.Luo Ji sighed: "There is nothing we can do, there are too many employees, and we have to consider their livelihood."

Britney looked at the employees coming and going around her: "Come to the side with me, and I'll tell you something."

Luo Ji followed Britney to a corner of the backstage in confusion. She lowered her voice and said, "I heard that you and Braun founded an SB agency?"

"Yes."

"I want to sign with your agency!"

Luo Ji immediately spoke: "Are you repaying me for helping you? You don't have to do this at all, I..."

Britney interrupted directly: "It has something to do with it, but it's not the main reason. I'm fed up with my agent, Larry Rudolph, and I've had conflicts with him for a long time. He's always wanted to control me. I used to Being besieged by the media like that, he did nothing just to make me compromise with him."

Luo Ji thought for a moment: "Okay, you go talk to Braun. He is in charge of the agency's affairs."

"Thank you, Logic."

Luo Ji explained: "You're welcome. To a certain extent, I took advantage of you. If you, a superstar, seek an agent, no one will refuse. You are a walking money printing machine."

Britney smiled lively: "It's good to know, you have to cherish me."

Hearing this, Luo Ji's heart skipped a beat.He quickly changed the subject and got down to business: "But things shouldn't be that simple. Larry Rudolph is a powerful agent. If you just get rid of him, be careful that he will be detrimental to you. Expose your scandal." .”

Britney said nonchalantly: "My dark history has been exposed by the media, so I won't be afraid of him."

Women can be naive, but men cannot.Luo Ji thought for a while but still felt uneasy, so he called Braun over to discuss it together. The three of them discussed it for a long time.

Braun said: "Britney, the bodyguards around you were all hired by Larry Rudolph. I suggest you replace them all to prevent him from being detrimental to you."

Britney opened her eyes wide and said, "He's not that crazy, is he?"

Luo Ji explained: "Just in case, you must not take it lightly. I have met Larry Rudolph. He is a very strong person and will not compromise so easily. We must nip the danger in the bud."

Britney said hesitantly: "But they have been good to me during this period."

Braun immediately said: "Don't be so naive. Have you forgotten how your bodyguard and driver betrayed you before? You don't owe them anything."

Britney's eyes became firm: "Okay, then I will replace these two people."

Luo Ji warned: "Let Braun introduce you to those big companies, and you can choose your bodyguards yourself. Be sure to find those with families, and remember to sign a confidentiality agreement."

Britney said: "Okay, I get it."

After the group finished packing, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening when they returned to the hotel.

Luo Ji did not rest, but called Braun to his side: "Go find someone to investigate Larry Rudolph and see if you can get some dirty information about him to prevent him from taking risks. If he dares to do us harm, If some bad things are exposed in the media, we can counter them."

Braun said: "No, what can he do? Britney's panties were stripped off by the media. After the public opinion reversed, they are now on Britney's side. Even if he After breaking the news, I guess few media outlets would dare to go out and slander Britney again."

Luo Ji reminded: "Have you forgotten? After Britney and I wrote the song that day, Larry Rudolph wanted to get my confidentiality agreement. Thinking about it now, he may have had the intention to control Britney at that time. .Who knows what other methods he has hidden."

Agent Braun reacted: "I would have forgotten it if you didn't remind me. How did you remember it?"

Luo Ji pointed at his head: "The more you think about it, the more you remember it. The more you use your brain, the more flexible it becomes."

Braun looked at Luo Ji with complicated eyes: "Okay, I will find a private detective to investigate. However, you have to be careful not to rekindle an old relationship with Britney. This will harm everyone. .Including Taylor.”

Luo Ji said solemnly: "I am no longer the person I was before. I know those boundaries cannot be crossed. So, don't worry."
