Chapter 38: Persistence and Abandonment
The song "Left Finger Moon" is majestic and extremely attractive to people's attention, and it has become popular recently, so during Zheng Qian's singing, many passers-by stopped and came to the stage to watch.
Zheng Qian didn't wear makeup today, he was very ordinary and simple, with a short and small flat head, he looked like a college student who had just entered the society, mediocre, but when he sang, people would try to open their eyes to see his appearance clearly, and when he looked at it, the young man seemed to have light.
"In the moonlight, ahhhhhh
You and I, ahhhh
At the end of the song, the people applauded vigorously, and someone shouted, "One more song!"
"One more song!"
Many people also coaxed, this effect was beyond the expectations of the commercial performance manager, he was surprised and surprised at the same time, he didn't expect this Zheng Qian to be so able to sing, this high note is comparable to many first-line singers today, both breath and silver, and the live singing is so powerful, it seems that the future is limitless.
He thought about it, and when Zheng Qian stepped down, he was unusual, and specially stepped forward and stretched out his hand, "Zheng Qian, right? I will often contact you in the future, this is my business card, do you have a mobile phone number? We can save each other, you absolutely didn't say anything about your singing skills, I was clumsy before, I apologize to you, there are other commercial performances in the future, I will contact you as soon as possible." β
Zheng Qian is not arrogant, he knows how many catties and taels he has, and he also knows that the other party is a local snake in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and many commercial performances are done by professional companies like them, and he wants to make more money, and it doesn't hurt to have more dealings with them, so he took out his mobile phone and saved each other's numbers.
At this time, a group of people not far away suddenly walked over, led by a woman wearing black and red casual clothes, her hairstyle was very chic, the whole was coiled, and two pure gold hairpins were inserted in it, making the woman look graceful and luxurious.
She is Wei Yehong, a domestic first-line female singer who has won many vocal awards, and behind her is a group of assistants and bodyguards, who look very magnificent.
"Zheng Qian, I like your "Left Finger Moon" very much. β
Wei Yehong's makeup is very gorgeous, which makes her age look like she is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but in fact she is approaching forty, and unlike her appearance, Wei Yehong's voice can be said to be full of neutrality: "Are you interested in cooperating?"
Zheng Qian was quite unfamiliar with the woman in front of him, and he looked confused.
Ren Xin took Zheng Qian's arm and said to Zheng Qian with some excitement: "Wei Yehong, she is Wei Yehong." β
Zheng Qian gradually had some impressions, this woman seems to be a soprano, the leading god in the national music circle, in the past two years, she has dabbled in pop music, released many classic pop songs, and gradually became famous, and has stepped into the ranks of domestic first-line female singers.
Zheng Qian hurriedly said, "It's a great honor." β
He didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that the other party was just saying polite words.
However, Wei Yehong laughed out loud, "In the finals of "Singer", I will go to the scene to cheer you on, and when the various art troupes pull people, you have to consider our air politics art troupe, our troupe needs young and energetic blood like you to join." β
Zheng Qian was taken aback.
In the previous life, it had successively launched popular TV series such as "The Sky of History" and "The Story of the Cooking Class", as well as songs such as "Ten Sending the Red Army" and "Brother Bing" that were popular all over the country.
In some flood relief sites, there is no shortage of air politics art troupes.
Compared with the Second Artillery, Haizheng and other art troupes, although there are not enough representatives, but there are many representative works, after all, other art troupes have crossed borders, have made achievements in the pop music world, and have a far-reaching reputation.
Now there is finally an enlightenment, Wei Hongye took the lead in stepping out of the Kongzheng Art Troupe, broke into some fame in the entertainment industry, released a number of pop songs one after another, solid singing skills and hundreds of stage skills, made Wei Yehong stand out instantly, and even did not have a live performance at all, and he is also the only god-level singer in the music industry who can open the microphone on the spot.
But this did not stimulate the vitality of the Kongzheng Art Troupe, many singers and actors in the troupe are not interested in showing their heads outside, for them, a salary of a few thousand yuan a month is enough for their expenses.
Seeing Zheng Qian in a daze, Ren Xin hurriedly pulled the corner of his clothes, "You are talking!"
Zheng Qian came back to his senses, didn't seem to care much about the olive branch thrown by Wei Yehong, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it then!
He really didn't think too much about it, and it didn't make much difference to him which art troupe he entered.
Wei Yehong shook hands with Zheng Qian, "I wish you the championship." β
After Zheng Qian returned to the company, Lin Qianqian gave Zheng Qian all the 20,000 yuan for the labor fee of this performance.
Seeing this, Zheng Qian hurriedly prevaricated: "Come according to the contract." β
If according to the general artist contract, the agent and the company have to take a cut of the labor fee for each performance, and the company accounts for the majority, taking 50% or 60%, and the artist and the agent will divide the rest in half, or discuss separately.
Because almost all the business is carried out by the brokerage company, such as promotion, publicity, packaging and other miscellaneous expenses, which are generally paid by the company, the cost is higher, so it is easier to understand the lion.
The existence of the broker is mainly related to the business, so the requirements for personal ability and connections are higher, so they will also get a certain percentage of the share.
But Zheng Qian's contract for Yuexiang Entertainment is different, Zheng Qian takes 50% alone, and the rest is 30% of the company and 20% of the agent.
This is the advantage of signing a small company, being able to grasp the bargaining power, but at the expense of the resources of large companies and the connections of god-level brokers, such as Yuexiang Yuele Company, in addition to taking money and buying some media publicity, there is almost no external publicity, not to mention the agent Ren Xin, she and Zheng Qian returned to China together, and it seems that they are starting from scratch in China, without the slightest connection, however, over the past year, over time, Ren Xin can still rely on her own ability to negotiate some commercial performance business, but such a big business as Lanke's home, unless the other party takes the initiative to come to the door, otherwise with Ren Xin's current connections, it really can't be takenγ
In this regard, it completely depends on Zheng Qian's personal ability.
Obviously, Lanke Clothing was able to find Zheng Qian to endorse their brand in the next two quarters, and it was completely because of Zheng Qian, a small company like Yuexiang Entertainment was obviously not enough to enter such a vision.
At this time, seeing that Zheng Qian insisted on coming according to the contract, Lin Qianqian sighed and said, "Zheng Qian, I think...... It's time for us to sit down and have a good talk. β
Zheng Qian was a little surprised, "What are you talking about?"
"Your future and development. Lin Qianqian said.
Seeing Sister Qian's serious face, Ren Xin stuck out her tongue and was about to avoid suspicion, but Lin Qianqian called out to her: "Xinxin, you don't have to go, come and listen." β
So Ren Xin also sat down.
Lin Qianqian sorted out her thoughts, "Zheng Qian, let me put it simply, I think that the company has limited your development, if you are in a large company, such as Huaying Media, your current development may have exceeded all of our expectations." β
"In the past month, the more unexpectedly good your performance is, the more guilty I feel in my heart, sometimes I wonder, is it that I am too selfish, to humble your conditions, enough to get better resources, your strength is enough to match better resources, if it is not me, but another company, maybe humble your light has already been seen......"
The more Lin Qianqian said, the more guilty she became, she really felt that she had influenced Zheng Qian's development, she specialized in the art industry, she was not in the entertainment industry, she used to think that the artist had a company, and the artist was good enough, she could get everything she wanted, but the reality gave her a slap in the face, she has a company, and she also has a powerful artist, but all media resources are not strong to match, this year, she has contacted major TV stations many times, and many directors have triumphed, during which she was tired and almost vomited blood, but the rewards she got were very little, your acting skills are good, useless, good singing skills are useless, you have to have connections, you have to be willing to spend money, give kickbacks, and even sometimes, if you are willing to spend money, it will not help, and people will not look down on your money at all.
This made Lin Qianqian often doubt herself, and she almost wanted to give up, but every time she thought of Zheng Qian, she felt that she couldn't live up to him. Zheng Qian and the three of her created this company together, the high-spirited appearance of the three is still vivid, but a year has passed, the company is still not improving, seeing Zheng Qian suddenly come to run, gradually gaining popularity, but now, the money is burned out, she suddenly has the idea of retreating, although the endorsement contract of Lanke clothing has brought the company back to life again, but Lin Qianqian is not sure whether there will be such a good thing in the future, for the time being, handing over Zheng Qian to a better and stronger company seems to be the best way out.
Zheng Qian opened his mouth after listening to Lin Qianqian's thoughts, but he didn't know what to say.
Ren Xin's eyes were already red, and she grabbed Lin Qianqian's sleeve and kept shaking her head, but she was also speechless.
