Chapter 118 Is 60 Million a Thing?

PS: After writing another chapter, I will send another chapter!

Continue to ask for monthly tickets! ! !

After Avril Lavigne found out she was pregnant, she has been considering temporarily quitting the music scene.

Because it is impossible for her to fly all over the world to record records, hold concerts and conduct various commercial performances, and attend commercial activities.

She asked Chang Sheng for his opinion.

Chang Sheng asked her: "Aren't you afraid that your popularity will be lost because of this?"

Avril shook her head: "Popularity can be gathered again, this child is more important than popularity now."

Seeing that Avril was so determined, Chang Sheng naturally wouldn't object.

Because in fact, he also hopes that Avril Lavigne will quit the music scene.

After the two parties discussed it, Avril Lavigne communicated with her record company, and proposed to take a temporary break for one to one and a half years, not to make new records, and not to participate in any performances, whether it was a personal concert or a commercial performance. Nor will they show their faces to participate in commercial activities.

But Avril Lavigne's request made the record company very difficult.

They allowed Avril Lavigne not to participate in commercial performances or concerts, but did not want to delay the production of the new record.

After all, they had made rumors before that at the end of this year, Avril Lavigne's new album would be released.

Hundreds of millions of Avril Lavigne fans around the world have been waiting eagerly, but now it has to be postponed for one to one and a half years, who can bear it?

The preparatory work for the production of the new album has already started, the producer, the arranger...everyone has been invited, and now Avril Lavigne says that it will be postponed?

This loss is not a little bit.

And they didn't accept Avril Lavigne's request to stay out of business.

Because for a star, in addition to releasing a new record, attending various commercial events is also a good way to maintain popularity.

If you do not participate in any commercial activities for a period of one to one and a half years, it is tantamount to completely disappearing from the public eye.

The impact on popularity is huge.

The company spent so much money to promote Avril Lavigne,

They are not charities. In order to satisfy Avril's music dream, she is willing to lose money.

They also hope to make money from Avril Lavigne.

The loss of Avril Lavigne's popularity is not a matter of her alone, it is also related to the company's profit!

Avril Lavigne earned $12 million last year. The company also benefited a lot.

Such a big cash cow. How could the company be willing to let him rest for so long?

Moreover, the company believes that Avril Lavigne's pregnancy is actually a very good hype gimmick, and she participates in various commercial activities with her pregnant belly. Isn't it a good topic to expose to the public?

It can attract the attention of the media and discuss with fans. Maybe Avril Lavigne's popularity will rise instead of falling!

So they put forward their opinions. That is to continue to produce new albums and participate in commercial activities. Of course, the company will make some choices at its discretion and abandon some inappropriate commercial activities.

But these were rejected by Avril Lavigne without hesitation.

She just wanted to enjoy the pregnancy process quietly at home and didn't want to be disturbed by media reporters.

So continued exposure is not what she wants.

The two sides had a dispute over this, and no one backed down.

So Avril told them. She will extremely hold a press conference, no matter whether the record company agrees or not, she will announce the decision to temporarily withdraw from the music scene.

Then Avril Lavigne's agent, Cliff Fabbri, called to persuade Avril Lavigne.

Since Avril Lavigne's debut, Fabbri has been helping her with various matters. He believes that he still has a high status in Avril Lavigne's mind. Avril Lavigne should also listen to her own words.

But he didn't know that Avril Lavigne was not happy with her manager anymore.

So when Fabbri told her in a superior tone that this is not allowed, that is not allowed, you have to do this and only that, Avril Lavigne broke out.

She got into a heated argument with Fabbri on the phone.

When Chang Sheng finished washing and serving it to Avril Lavigne, she heard her yelling into the phone: "Don't speak to me in such a tone, Cliff Fabry! I'm not yours Slave! My success is the result of my own hard work, and has nothing to do with you! Don't put on a fucking stance!"

When Chang Sheng heard Avril's angry words, he immediately understood why.

He was furious!

Pregnant women should not be angry. A pregnant woman is like the queen, she must be taken care of carefully, lest she be in a bad mood and affect the fetus.

I didn't expect that her damn manager would dare to make Avril so angry and swear!

Chang Sheng snatched Avril Lavigne's cell phone directly from behind, and then said to the phone: "Now I officially inform you, whether you agree or not, my wife will temporarily bid farewell to the music scene. For her who loves music, the biggest loss It's her, not you."

Cliff Fabry on the other end of the phone noticed that someone else was talking to him, and was taken aback at first, but Chang Sheng is also a celebrity, so he wouldn't ask such a naive line as "Who the fuck are you?" Come.

"I'm afraid you can't do this. We have a contract with Avril..." Although the other party spoke politely, his tone was very strong, even threatening.

We have a contract with you, you can't do whatever you want, otherwise we will sue you for breach of contract!

What an arrogance!

It seems that having a contract is a big deal.

Damn, didn't you sign a contract to bully me?

Who doesn't know that if there is a contract, there will be liquidated damages.

Avril was watching her husband confront each other on the phone. After her husband came, her mood gradually calmed down.

She also knows that the child in her stomach is more important.

She saw her husband suddenly look back at her and wink at her.

Then Chang Sheng turned back to the phone and said, "Oh, I'm so scared! You and Avril have a contract!"

Avril, who was familiar with her husband, was amused by Chang Sheng's tone, she knew that her husband was going to play tricks again.

"Yes, we still have a five-year contract with her, so I seriously advise you not to act irrationally, otherwise it will be very detrimental to your wife..."

Chang Sheng thought, Avril's scolding really made sense. This damn bastard really has a fucking superior attitude and tone.

But... no one has ever dared to speak to me in such a tone, when I was a nobody, no one could. Now, it's even more fucking impossible!

"Oh? Disadvantage? Excuse me, what is the disadvantage?" He asked in a cold voice.

The agent over there feels quite good about himself. I didn't feel the difference in tone before and after Chang Sheng at all.

"Although we don't want to do this. But...sometimes, we can take some measures according to the contract to make your wife disappear in public for a period of time..."

Chang Sheng interrupted the other party with a smile: "Hey. Isn't it just banning. I often play this trick. Picking up people's teeth is so uncreative."

The other party finally felt Chang Sheng's malice, and he said angrily, "This is not a good attitude for negotiating, Mr. Chang!"

"Who the hell is going to negotiate with you? You idiot. Tell your company's lawyer to call me. My wife wants to terminate the contract with you bastards!"

After finishing speaking, Chang Sheng hung up the phone, not even giving the other party a chance to continue talking.

Then he asked Avril Lavigne: "What do you think of this idea?"

Avril smiled and said, "Great, uncle!"

Soon, the phone rang again. Chang Sheng picked it up and looked at it. The caller was displayed as...

"The person you hate?" Chang Sheng asked in surprise.

who is this?

"My manager." Avril lavigne smirked.

So Chang Sheng also laughed.

At the same time he picked up the phone.

"You can't terminate the contract at will! Our contract has a high liquidated damages!" Just picked it up. Chang Sheng heard Cliff Fabry's exasperated voice.

"High amount? How high is it?" Chang Sheng asked lazily.

"Sixty million! U.S. dollars! If you want to terminate the contract, you have to compensate the company for sixty million U.S. dollars!"

Avril Lavigne only earned 12 million US dollars last year, 60 million US dollars. She needs to maintain such a popularity and work for the company for five years without eating or drinking to make so much money. For ordinary artists. The money is indeed sky-high.

But as far as Chang Sheng is concerned, it is not a sky-high price. The money he helped Lazio sell players last summer was three times that amount, and he really didn't pay attention to 60 million US dollars!

Chang Sheng was amused.

"I thought it was 600 million dollars, and 60 million dollars is a big deal? Or the same sentence, tell your lawyer to call me, let's talk about the termination of the contract. 60 million dollars, not a penny Give you less, you are so promising!"

With Chang Sheng's current net worth, it is no problem to spend 60 million US dollars at once.

The investment company that Kate Gracie managed for him was doing well and making a lot of money.

In addition, he also has shares in Google, which is a huge amount of money.

When he needs money, he just needs to let the wind out and plan to sell his original Google shares. Naturally, many financial giants will contact him and ask for the Google shares in his hands.

For $60 million, Cliff Fabry was raped. It's really worthless.

Hanging up the phone again, Chang Sheng said to Avril Lavigne: "Do you think we should start a record company and play by ourselves?"

※ ※ ※

Chang Sheng was willing to pay to terminate the contract, but the record company had nothing to do. Because the contract stipulates that as long as Avril Lavigne pays the record company 60 million liquidated damages, the contract can be terminated.

So after Chang Sheng sent the money, the record company could only sign a contract termination agreement with Avril Lavigne.

Afterwards, Avril Lavigne was finally able to hold a press conference according to the opportunity to announce her withdrawal from the music scene.

As for the reason for quitting the music scene, it is naturally because...

"I'm pregnant." At the press conference, in front of dozens of news media, Avril Lavigne announced with a happy face.

Her husband Chang Sheng sat beside her and held her hand throughout the whole press conference, looking quite sweet.

At the same time, this is also an expression of attitude - I support my wife's choice.

Representatives from her record company were not present at the press conference.

As for why... this belongs to the second matter of this press conference.

Then Avril announced that she had terminated her contract with the record company she had worked with for many years, and now she is a free agent.

The two news stunned the reporters present!
