Chapter 241: 5 Songs
June 8th. When Du Caige and Fan Yuhong and the other four were passing through the ticket gate, preparing to board the plane to the north.
A plainly dressed, but upright girl, with big eyes revealing a sense of wit, appeared at the front desk of Tianyi Entertainment.
"Hello," the girl's voice was very pleasant, "My name is Wu Xing'er, and I have an appointment with Manager Chen of your company's draft department." ”
The beautiful woman at the front desk looked down and showed a formulaic smile when she raised her head again: "Miss Wu, hello." Please go directly to Manager Chen's office, she is waiting for you. You know Manager Chen's office, right?"
"Thank you, I know. Wu Xing'er smiled back decently.
She had already done her homework and easily found the door of Manager Chen's office.
This manager Chen is a real manager of Tianyi Entertainment's draft department, who is responsible for mining talents in music, signing newcomers and trainees.
There is a saying in the industry that it is not easy to impress her.
But because she has a lot of power, she can give the best contract in relative terms once she is impressed.
For a talented newcomer, getting a B sign is not a dream, and there is even a chance to fight for an A sign.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Xing'er raised her slender wrist and tapped it gently.
"Please come in. A very dignified female voice sounded behind the door.
Wu Xing'er pushed open the hidden solid wood door, and saw a wealthy woman in her early 30s sitting behind a desk, with a straight back and a very temperamental attitude.
Wu Xing'er didn't look at it much, and immediately bowed deeply: "Hello Teacher Chen! I'm Wu Xing'er, and I talked to you on the phone yesterday." ”
She had inquired in advance that this manager Chen was a technocrat who used to be a well-known independent musician, and preferred to be called "teacher" rather than "manager".
"Well, well," Manager Chen said, "sit down." ”
Wu Xing'er glanced at it, then sat down on the couch, staring at Manager Chen, without looking around at the office furnishings.
This Manager Chen is mediocre in appearance, and his figure is not good.
But the temperament is excellent, and he is very good at dressing up, and he looks similar to a woman in his 30s when he is close to 50 years old, and there is absolutely no lack of turning heads on the road.
Manager Chen also looked at her and bowed his head slightly, "The appearance is not bad." I watched your songs carefully, and I also listened to the demo you sent. The song is written to a certain level, the singing skills are also good, and the voice is a little distinctive. You wrote the song yourself?"
"Yes, Mr. Chen. Wu Xing'er tried not to show her nervousness.
"How old are you?"
“21。 ”
Manager Chen muttered: "I'm too old. ”
Wu Xing'er felt MMP in her heart, and smiled slightly: "Teacher Chen, I am very hard-working, very diligent, and I think that my learning ability is not bad." ”
"Yes. Manager Chen was noncommittal.
After a pause, she continued: "I have discussed your situation with several colleagues, and there are already preliminary conclusions. ”
Wu Xing'er felt her heart beat faster.
But Manager Chen sold at this time, "But before that, I want to ask you first." In fact, many young musicians will choose to sign contracts with music platforms and directly release digital singles and digital albums, and there are many powerful and talented young people among them. ”
"They feel that they will earn more and earn more in this way. And without the constraints of the company, they have more freedom in creation. ”
Manager Chen stared at Wu Xing'er, a smile appeared on his serious face, "What about you, why don't you do this?" Our Tianyi Entertainment's 'Doremi' music platform is actually very good, and its market share has been rising for more than a year, and several independent musicians have made a name for themselves on our platform and made money. Actually, you can try. ”
Wu Xing'er didn't know if this was a test or the other party's true intentions.
However, she had considered this question before she came, and replied unhurriedly: "Mr. Chen, I think there are indeed some independent musicians who yearn for freedom, but I hope that there is a strong and experienced company to help me plan my career." ”
"Also, if you sign a contract with a company, the share will be lower. However, the training provided by the company, the opportunities for growth, the teachings of the predecessors, and the publicity efforts in the future are not comparable to the direct signing of music platforms. ”
"So, after all things considered, I would rather give up some of my immediate gains and some of my freedom. I'm betting that the company will see my potential and nurture me, so that I will have a brighter future. ”
The smile on Manager Chen's lips became more obvious.
She bowed slightly, but did not speak immediately, but operated the computer in front of her.
Soon, the sound of music came out of the speakers: "The kites in the sky are flying in the sky, and the people on the earth are chasing on the ground." If you're worried that you can't fly, you've got my butterfly......"
Wu Xinger could hear that this was the DEMO she sent to Manager Chen's desk.
After listening to one song quietly, Manager Chen switched to the next one.
"It's a simple little love song that sings about the twists and turns of people's hearts. I think I'm happy when I have your warmth, and the air at my feet turns ......"
Play it one song after another. "The moonlight is unbridled on the side of the dyed bed, and in the blink of an eye magically all visions. Another glass of the ancient and mysterious Ganges water, and the cat's eye on my forehead unveiled the celebration ......"
"When I grew up, I could only run. How scared I was, falling in the dark. Hello tomorrow, smiling with tears, the more beautiful, the more afraid to get. ”
"Love is a light, so wonderful, that guides the future we want. Magical Northern Lights, fantasy prophecy, hurry up and find incredible love......"
After all the playing, Manager Chen pressed the pause, looked up at this girl with a good face, tense nerves, and deliberately pretending to be calm.
"Incomparably beautiful, little love song, dancer, hello tomorrow, Aurora," Manager Chen said slowly, "Five songs, but with different styles, it seems that you don't limit yourself to a certain style of music." ”
"Yes, Mr. Chen, I always want to challenge some different fields. Wu Xing'er smiled hard.
Manager Chen showed a thoughtful expression, and after a while, he said, "If you sign with our company." Do you want to release an EP with these five songs right away, or do you want to save up again and save up a complete album? In the future, you will have to do your own songs, or are you willing to let the company help you collect the songs?"
Wu Xing'er has also considered this aspect for a long time, and replied fluently at this time: "For the time being, I plan to release these songs slowly in the form of digital singles, and I am not in a hurry to release them all at once." As for my songs in the future, I am willing to accept the company's arrangement. ”
Manager Chen nodded slowly, "You said that Silver Star also gave you good conditions, so why don't you choose Silver Star? Frankly speaking, it is difficult for our company to give you better conditions." ”
Wu Xing'er smiled, "Because after careful consideration, I feel that Silver Star's mechanism for cultivating talents is outdated, and Tianyi's model makes me feel more promising." ”
Manager Chen stood up and stretched out his hand to her.
Wu Xing'er was so excited that she immediately stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and shook hands with Manager Chen.
Manager Chen said in an encouraging tone: "I will provide you with a B-level contract." The specific terms will be connected by the legal department. If you are sure to sign a contract, it will be transferred to the training department for a period of time, and it will be approved by the training department, and then it will be transferred to me, and I will package you well and help you make a gorgeous debut. ”
"Thank you, Teacher Chen!" Wu Xing'er looked like she was crying with joy.
As she was about to leave the office, Manager Chen stopped her, "By the way, one last question." ”
Wu Xing'er stopped, a pair of big smart eyes flickering.
"I took a look at the copyright station, and these songs of yours were all registered a few days ago. Could it be that you have an explosion of inspiration and have written a few songs in a short period of time?"
Wu Xing'er lowered her head, her eyes were gloomy: "Actually, I wrote these songs slowly in the past two years, and I didn't plan to register in a hurry, and I wanted to revise and modify them again." But my roommate tried to steal my songs, and luckily I found out in time. Hey!"
Manager Chen's tone was light, with a little sigh, "I know people and faces, but I don't know my heart." Luckily, you caught it in time. ”
"yes, I'm glad I found it just in time. ”
"Have you ever watched the show New Power of Music?"
Wu Xing'er's heart was full of ecstasy, "I've seen it!"
"Our company can send four or five young singers to the past, and I have a recommendation here. You go back and prepare well and get in shape. ”
"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
......
Sitting on the sofa and drinking a cup of hot water poured by Du Caige, Yu Yu finally calmed down a little, and his howling turned into soft sobbing.
In order to avoid suspicion, Du Caige sat a little away from her, and said softly: "No matter what happens to you, say it, say it and then we will see how to solve it." ”
Yu Yu raised her head and glanced at Du Caige, her eyes were full of tears, and Du Caige saw self-blame and guilt in her eyes.
"Teacher, I'm sorry for you! You can beat me and scold me as much as you want!"
"Tell me about it. "Du Caige has a hunch, things are not small.
"I ......" Yu Yu lowered her head, no longer had the courage to look at Du Caige, her voice was as thin as a mosquito, "I ......"
She said something clearly, but Du Caige didn't hear it clearly.
"Say it again?"
Yu Yu's hand pinched her own thigh hard, and big tears fell on the back of her hand. "Teacher, I lost your song!"
Du Caige didn't understand it for a while. "What do you mean?"
Yu Yu sobbed more rapidly, and his speech was slurred.
It took a long time for Du Caige to figure it out.
When he was teaching Yu Yu before, he used to play and sing some songs on the earth.
Some of them have not been registered with the copyright station by the original owner.
When Yu Yu went home and practiced, she was listened to by her roommate, who was also a girl who came to the magic capital from out of town to chase her music dream.
She and the girl are like sisters, and they have been supporting and encouraging each other for the past two years, and it can even be said that they are close to each other.
So in front of that girl, she didn't pay too much attention and showed some of Du Caige's works with a big grin.
