"Sister Zhi, Gong Chen, you are here. Please sit down!" After Xiao Yao leads Zheng Yuzhi and Gong Chen into Xiao Siqi''s office, Xiao Siqi, who used to be sitting behind his desk, warmly gets up to welcome them, and gives them to the reception sofa in the office.
"Gong Chen, you''ll have to record with Xiao Yao later. I won''t beat around the Bush, so I''ll be frank." After some polite greetings, Xiao Siqi also directly went to the main topic, "about what I said before that I wanted Gong Chen to change your job to our studio, I don''t know how you think about it?"
"Xiaochen also told me about this," Zheng Yuzhi said at the beginning. "In fact, in my opinion, I hope Xiaochen will switch to your studio. After all, it has been two years since Xiaochen signed a contract with AMG, and he has been displeased all the time. It was only after he cooperated with Xiao Yao in those two songs in the program this year that Xiaochen really made some fame. AMG is a big company with many big brands and fierce competition. In fact, a lot of good resources are not available to Xiaochen. On the contrary, although your studio looks small, its strength can''t be underestimated. Moreover, we can see that Mr. Xiao attaches great importance to Xiao Chen, and Xiao Yao, a talented writer, especially appreciates Xiao Chen''s voice. "
"Thank you for praising our studio." Hearing Zheng Yuzhi''s words, Xiao Siqi''s face immediately brightened. Xiao Siqi wants to find Gong Chen and change his job, so naturally he will not fail to understand Gong Chen''s situation. Zheng Yuzhi, like his former agent Xu Ting, is an independent agent attached to a brokerage company. They all consider the interests and development of the artists themselves. This kind of agent will have more influence on the artists than the one appointed by the company after signing the contract.
"Mr. Xiao, don''t be happy too soon." Unexpectedly, Zheng Yuzhi continued, "I just said what I thought. Xiaochen is a very good child. I can only help her analyze the pros and cons before she makes a decision, and help her fight for the best interests after she makes a decision. But it''s up to her to make a decision. "
"Oh? This is quite similar to Xiao Yao. No wonder the cooperation between them will be so harmonious. " Xiao Siqi''s smile converged a little, but he still looked at Gong Chen with a smile and said, "what about Gong Chen? It''s not that I have to force you to make a statement, but your decision is related to our work arrangement in the future, so I need a clear answer from you today. "
Gong Chen hesitated for a while, then said, "my idea is more... Awkward."
"Tell me about it. I had a hunch that I might like it." Xiao Yao also said with a smile.
"As for AMG, sister Zhi and I have different opinions." Gong chendao said, "I signed a contract for two years, but I didn''t think it was AMG''s unilateral reason. I''m a college student. My studies involve part of my energy. I can''t cooperate with the company''s arrangements like other singers in the company. The competition in the company is very big. In the past two years, I have not been given any good works that are particularly suitable for me, but I think the company is good for me.
Recently, I''ve been on fire. Although it''s true that Xiao Yao''s two songs made me win two titles in the program, if the company didn''t recommend me to that program, I would never have had the chance to know Xiao Yao and let him hear my voice, so I would not have my current fame. "
"There''s some truth to it." Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao nodded. For such a grateful girl, they can''t blame her for this idea.
"I appreciate Xiao Yao''s talent and think your studio is very strong." Gong Chen continued, "but I don''t want to change jobs, especially when I''m just a little famous. The company has invested a lot in me in the past two years. I don''t want to leave without any return. I have two years left on my contract with AMG and I want to continue with it. However, in the remaining two years, no matter whether I am popular or not, I will not renew my contract with AMG. Two years later, if you are still interested in me, I will be willing to sign with you. If you''re not interested in me at that time, it doesn''t matter. I''ll find another company. "
"That''s a very risky idea." Xiao Siqi said with a smile, "to be honest, the biggest reason why we are interested in you is that Xiao Yao appreciates your voice. As you know, he has just been admitted to the Acting Department of Shenxi, and will definitely go to film in the future, and he also said that he wants to be a director. Two years later? Even I don''t know how much enthusiasm and energy he will have at that time. "
"It doesn''t matter," Gong Chen said with a smile. "Even if Xiao Yao doesn''t make music any more, you and Mr. Shen are great creators. I can''t only sing songs written by Xiao Yao, and I can feel Xiao Yao''s passion for music. Even if he is engaged in other careers in the future, he won''t give up music easily. Even if no company is interested in me after two years, it doesn''t matter. I''m an undergraduate of Foreign Languages College. Even if I can''t be a singer, I won''t starve to death. I like singing. After I find an ordinary job to support myself, I can sing and play by myself. I can also let others hear my singing by sending a singing video or live broadcast on the Internet. "
Gong Chen''s words made Zheng Yuzhi, the agent around him, smile bitterly, but Xiao Siqi said with a smile and a thumbs up, "the more you listen to this mentality, the more like Xiao Yao. Since you don''t want to change jobs now, I don''t want to. Let''s wait two years to see it. ""What about the copyright of the two songs?" Zheng Yuzhi asked again with concern. Although Gong Chen said that, as an agent, she didn''t want Gong Chen to give up her singing career easily. Now Gong Chen''s popularity base is good. As long as she keeps good in the past two years, even if she doesn''t renew her contract with AMG, she won''t worry about signing with other record companies two years later. Now the first step to consolidate popularity is naturally Xiao Yao''s two songs.
"It depends on Xiao Yao." Xiao Siqi looked at Xiao Yao and said, "the copyright of songs is in his hands."
Xiao Yao pondered for a while, and said to Gong Chen, "first of all, I can only accompany you here.". Although your performance in the program is more brilliant, but this song is for Chen Chen, I can''t give it to you. "There''s a kind of warmth called sisters" in his single and fan linxuan''s chorus is also in this mode. I''m going to make a few more songs of this type, find different female singers to cooperate with him, and make a mini album of this style for him. This song of your chorus has been counted by me. "
"As for the faded," Xiao Yao continued, "you should feel that I have a special preference for this song. Although the singer is you, but I want to mark this song with my brand, so that my sense of existence in this song is far stronger than you, so I can''t give you this song. In the same way, I will also produce some songs of this type, and I will cooperate with other female singers to produce a mini album in this mode. Later in the song, I may also seek your cooperation, I hope you will not refuse
"It''s two songs. They''re dead?" A cloud of sadness rose on Zheng Yuzhi''s face.
"Well, I''d love to work with you." Gong Chen doesn''t care much.
"Of course, I don''t want the popularity you have accumulated in the program to dissipate." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I will write another two songs for you. Except for the ownership, all other commercial copyrights can be sold to AMG at one time, so that they can help you release the single. These two songs and "faded" are of the same type and style, and may be a little worse than "faded" in overall feeling, but these two songs are both Chinese songs, and the audience''s acceptance should be higher than "faded" which is an English song. Therefore, after the release, the sales volume and commercial performance opportunities in China may be better than "faded". In terms of production, if you and AMG want to, I can also help you make these two songs myself. "
"Really?" This time, Zheng Yuzhi and Gong Chen showed surprise expression together.
"Well." Xiao Yao nodded and said, "but in the future, I may need you at the weekend. In addition to the recording of the electronic version and the string version of faded, I also plan to make two versions of MV of this song, among which the string version of MV I need you to participate in the performance. "
"There''s no problem with time. I''d like to play in MV." Gong Chen hesitated and said, "but I''ve never made a play or learned it. I''m not sure I can meet the role requirements in MV."
"You don''t have to worry about that." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "in this MV, you are just some singing scenes. You just need to show your performance on the stage. This MV will be directed by myself. It''s my first time to be a director. We''re rookie directors with rookie actors. You don''t have to worry about being scolded miserably. "
"Wait a minute," Xiao Siqi finally interrupted Xiao Yao, "what are two mini albums, two new songs, and MVs? This is not the same as what we discussed yesterday. How can so many things come out all at once? "
"It just popped up." Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Siqi and said, "I have more work plans. Aren''t you happy?"
"Of course, I''m happy, but you have about three months to go before the college entrance examination. Won''t it delay your study? " Xiao Siqi said.
"Didn''t Xiao Yao pass the art examination of Shen opera performance department?" Zheng Yuzhi interjected suspiciously, "the cultural achievement requirement of the performance department should only be more than 300 points. It''s said that Xiao Yao''s achievement is very good. Shouldn''t it be a problem? Is it true that, as the media said, Xiao Yao still needs to be ranked first in terms of culture? "
In addition to the examination of professional courses in art colleges, it also depends on the cultural score of the college entrance examination. But for the vast majority of art candidates, the requirement of cultural points is not high. Strictly speaking, Xiao Yao, who won the first place in the art examination of Shenxi performance department, is not the real champion. Only those non fresh students who have participated in the college entrance examination can be sure of that. Because if Xiao Yao''s college entrance examination results do not meet the requirements, he will not be able to study in Shenxi, so the so-called champion will naturally become a joke. However, for Xiao Yao, a famous academic bully, few people think that Xiao Yao''s cultural achievements will not meet the requirements. Many people expect Xiao Yao''s college entrance examination results to break the cultural achievement record of art school students.
So far, the record of the highest score of art college candidates in the college entrance examination is still held by a boy named Yao Wenyu who passed the Yandian literature department five years ago, with a total score of 572. Among the art school students who were born in the second generation of Tong Xing and Xing, the one who got the best score in the college entrance examination was a girl named Yu Xiao, with a total score of 543. The media generally believe that if there is no accident, Xiao Yao should not have much problem breaking Yu Xiao''s record. What they are interested in is whether Xiao Yao can surpass Yao Wenyu''s achievements to create a new record, or even further break the 600% mark.Xiao Yao and Xiao Siqi look at each other and smile, but they don''t answer Zheng Yuzhi directly. Xiao Yao''s plan to become the number one student in the college entrance examination is only known by Xiao''s family, and he doesn''t want to disclose it to others for the time being.
"It won''t affect it," Xiao Yao said to Xiao Siqi. "I just told Gong Chen that she wanted her weekend time. In addition to Gong Chen''s two Chinese songs, others are not released in a hurry, and the two mini albums are a long-term plan. Just take your time over the weekend. "
"By the way, as a director, didn''t you say that you planned to make short films during the summer vacation? Why do you want to shoot MV again? " Xiao Siqi nodded and then asked.
"The plan of making short films in summer vacation remains unchanged, but I just have the idea of making MV for faded." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "anyway, it''s my own song. I can shoot whatever I want. It''s just a short film for summer vacation. I''ll practice my hands in advance."
