Huayu 2002, I'm going to dominate the music scene!

Song Mo flipped to the last page, and the first thing that caught his eye was a long string of numbers.

He patiently counted them, and yes, there were seven zeros.

"5000 million?"

Before Song Mo could speak again, Bi Xiaoshi nodded frantically, his face full of sincerity, "Little Song, I'll be honest with you too, this number will absolutely not be changed."

Song Mo was a little helpless. How did this old guy learn to strike first? Before he could even speak, he used a spell to interrupt him.

At this point, Xu Yuan continued seriously, "Xiao Song, to be honest, this is how it is in the industry. Jay Chou's breach of contract penalty is much higher than yours, 3 million New Taiwan Dollars, which is nearly 1 million RMB."

Hearing this, Song Mo secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. No wonder Jay Chou didn't terminate his contract even after being sold out; it seems he really couldn't afford to terminate this contract.

An Ming, who was standing nearby, was also stunned when he heard about the 5000 million yuan penalty for breach of contract.

She couldn't help but reach out and tug at Song Mo, then whispered, "Xiao Song, don't be impulsive. Think this contract through carefully first."

He is considered the son of a high-ranking official, and his family has never lacked money since childhood. Just take his family's courtyard house, for example; if it were sold, it could be worth several million.

But that's 5000 million! He'd never seen anything like it before, never.

He previously thought it would be great if Song Mo could sign with Ocean Butterflies.

But now that he saw the actual terms, he suddenly felt that the contract was a hot potato. The penalty for breach of contract was so high.

Liu Yifei was also full of surprise at this moment. You know, she only received 5 yuan for filming "The Story of a Noble Family". 5000 million yuan is enough to hire her to act in 1000 movies.

Song Mo finally realized why they had confessed so quickly.

Seeing Song Mo's unpredictable expression, Bi Xiaoshi shamelessly said, "Actually, we shouldn't just focus on the large amount. A large amount means that Ocean Butterflies values ​​you."

Is this the truth?

That's the truth. If they really didn't have faith in Song Mo, they wouldn't have set the penalty for breach of contract so high.

In fact, the penalty for breach of contract was decided by Bi Xiaoshi.

Currently in mainland China, even Sun Nan and Na Ying's breach of contract penalties aren't this high, so Bi Xiaoshi is genuinely afraid of Song Mofei.

"Teacher Bi, Teacher Xu, I need to think about this. I'll contact you later," Song Mo said slowly.

He wasn't actually that bothered by the penalty for breach of contract, but he just didn't want to agree so hastily.

Singers are not actors. The production cycle of each singer's album determines that it takes at least 3 to 5 years for them to reach a bigger stage.

Even someone as successful as Jay Chou, who is backed by Taiwan, the largest market in the Chinese music scene, only saw his first album become a hit in a small circle. It wasn't until this year, after releasing three albums, that he finally became a big hit in mainland China.

Most importantly, Song Mo is signing a separate contract, while the management contract is in his own hands. With the management contract, even if he doesn't release any albums, he can still support himself.

Hearing Song Mo say this, Bi Xiaoshi and Xu Yuan were not surprised, but fortunately they still had a backup plan.

At this moment, Xu Yuan took out another document from his briefcase and pushed it in front of Song Mo.

"Xiao Song, there's one more thing."

Song Mo looked at him, puzzled.

"If you agree to sign the contract," Xu Yuan said, "we will give you a one-time signing fee of 20 yuan."

Song Mo was stunned for a moment. A signing fee of 20?

It wasn't the figure of 20 that surprised him, but rather the words "signing fee."

Music companies in mainland China have never had the concept of signing fees. It was only when the talent show craze came into the public eye that signing fees came into view.

Unexpectedly, Ocean Butterflies actually managed to bring this thing to the mainland ahead of time in order to get him to sign a contract.

But then again, what does 20 mean these days?

Nowadays, the average monthly salary of ordinary employees in Yanjing is about 1500 to 2000 yuan.

20 yuan is enough for Song Mo to make a down payment on a small apartment in the China World Trade Center.

Although it was a bit pathetic, Song Mo was genuinely smitten.

The 5000 million just now didn't scare him.

The 20 yuan won him over. With 20 yuan in hand, he could do a lot of things, especially the next step in his plan for ringback tones.

Bi Xiaoshi and Xu Yuan also saw that Song Mo was tempted, so they immediately raised their offer, "30. As long as you agree today, it's 30 in full."

Song Mo's eyes lit up even more. "Can I have more?"

Their bright smiles froze instantly; they hadn't expected this kid to be so unpredictable and have such a big appetite.

But they really couldn't add any more. Xu Yuan was filled with regret. He should have just said 25, then at least he could have added a little more.

Seeing the two frozen expressions, Song Mo revealed a mischievous smile and shrugged: "Fine, 300,000 it is. I agree to the contract, but I need to have a lawyer review it, after all, this is not a small matter."

Upon hearing Song Mo's words, Xu Yuan and Bi Xiaoshi were overjoyed and their expressions changed instantly, with smiles spreading across their faces.

This left Liu Yifei, who was watching from the sidelines, completely stunned.

Goodness, are all of them such good actors?

I feel like I've learned something new.

Bi Xiaoshi let out a breath, then said impatiently, "Then it's settled. I'll be waiting for your good news in my office tomorrow. 30, not a penny less."

The two of them then left quickly, as if afraid that Song Mo might change his mind.

After the two left, An Ming looked at Song Mo and said hesitantly, "Are you really going to sign with Ocean Butterflies?"

"Brother An, didn't you advise me to sign the contract before?" Song Mo shrugged and looked at An Ming with a smile.

An Ming gave a wry smile. "I underestimated things before. 5000 million is just too much."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei couldn't help but look at Song Mo. This man was incredibly bold; that was 5000 million!

She wouldn't dare sign such a contract.

It's often said that you don't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt until you're in charge of the

After filming "The Story of a Noble Family", she also realized how difficult it is to make money.

During filming, she was often yelled at by the director, and it was common for a single take to be reshot more than ten times.

If she hadn't made friends with Shu Chang on set, she felt she definitely wouldn't have been able to persevere.

Therefore, this number had a much greater impact on her than on the average 15-year-old girl.

Song Mo laughed, "Ocean Butterflies' sincerity is quite evident. I've decided to sign. It's my own decision, and I can accept whatever the outcome."

The fact that Song Mo was able to reach this conclusion with Ocean Butterflies has actually exceeded his initial plans.

Although the penalty for breach of contract was a bit beyond his expectations, it didn't really have much of an impact. In five years, he and Ocean Butterflies probably wouldn't reach that point yet.

"Brother An, could you help me contact your friend and ask him to take a look at this contract?" Song Mo said to An Ming.

"I'll call her over right now," Anming agreed.

Zhu Yingjie, who had been watching from a short distance away, also came over with three glasses of wine. "Xiao Song, have you finished talking? Have you made a decision?"

Song Mo smiled gently, "That's about it, but we still need to finalize a few details."

"Oh, congratulations! It's your first time at Hard Rock, and I knew you'd make it." Zhu Yingjie was very enthusiastic. "Come on, let me toast you to your great success."

"Thanks, Brother Zhu." Song Mo smiled and clinked glasses with Zhu Yingjie.

"You guys chat, call me if you need anything." After finishing his drink, Zhu Yingjie tactfully left.

Liu Yifei, however, couldn't take her eyes off the colorful cocktails on the tray.
