118. Ambition, audition

Wang Xiao looked surprised, looked at Zhu Ziqi, and then said: "Well, we are about to go to the recording studio, next to the conservatory, if you come over now, we will wait for you here!"

Zhang Yufeng agreed: "Okay, we'll be there soon." ”

After speaking, Zhang Yufeng hung up the phone, acted resolutely, and didn't say what he was doing looking for Wang Xiao.

However, Wang Xiao also roughly knew what the other party was looking for him to do.

One of the other parties is the general manager of Shenteng Music, and the other is the music director, which must be related to music, and I think of the new issue of The Voice that has begun to be hyped recently.

Wang Xiao knows that it is likely to be because of the invitation of the voice!

"Ziqi, there will be a distinguished guest coming. One is the general manager of Shenteng Music, and the other is Xu Jing and Xu Lao. ”

Wang Xiao said solemnly to Zhu Ziqi.

Zhu Ziqi was slightly surprised, and then returned to normal: "I thought of it! Last time, Xu Lao publicly invited you on Weibo, but you politely declined. He may have been examining you all along, and yesterday he saw that you were so popular on the Internet, whether it was because of your strength or your current popularity, inviting you was the best choice!"

Wang Xiao nodded lightly.

Zhu Ziqi continued: "You may not know that I have received invitations from many programs on Weibo and Q to participate in variety shows. There are at least five or six invitations from record companies and brokerage companies, and I have temporarily declined them for you. Have you ever thought about releasing an album or a record or something, or signing up to a big-name agency?"

After Wang Xiao finished eating the buns, he shook his head and said: "I don't have any idea for the time being, and I have you as my agent, forget about the big-name brokerage company, I will be cannon fodder as a newcomer!"

Zhu Ziqi smiled: "That's because you underestimate you too much." According to the invitations sent to you by the two brokerage companies I have contacted and understood, their sincerity is not bad, they are very optimistic about your development prospects, and they have given a lot of promises. You are no longer a pure newcomer, and your popularity is no lower than that of third-tier stars. Many second- and third-tier celebrities still need water army hype to reach the top ten of Weibo hot spots, and you can now rely on your own works and fan support. ”

Wang Xiao smiled, but still shook her head: "Forget it, it's good for the two of us to be like this, if we go to the brokerage company, we will still be restricted, and we are not so free, so I am not happy." ”

Zhu Ziqi: "That's good, it's up to you!"

The two walked down the path to Li Tianzhi's recording studio.

Li Tianzhi was standing at the door and watching, and when he saw Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi, he hurriedly turned around and shouted, and then a slightly fat old man walked out, wearing a suit, and his eyebrows looked a little similar to Li Tianzhi.

"Wang Xiao, Ziqi, you are here, let me introduce you. ”

Li Tianzhi said to Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi a little nervously: "This is my father." ”

The old man glared at Li Tianzhi, and then stretched out his hand to Wang Xiao: "Hello, I'm Li Qingyuan." I've heard Li Tianzhi say that he met a musical genius, but I didn't believe it before. In the last few days, I watched your live stream and found that you are even more powerful than he said. ”

Wang Xiao said politely: "Where, it was Mr. Li who praised it falsely." ”

Li Qingyuan: "No, I mean the truth! You are very powerful, so I came to visit you today." ”

Wang Xiao: "Don't dare to visit. ”

Li Qingyuan shook hands with Zhu Ziqi gently: "Hello, I heard that Wang Xiao has a virtuous helper, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”

Zhu Ziqi also smiled and said: "Mr. Li has won the award, we have just entered the industry, if there is anything wrong, Mr. Li, please forgive me." ”

Zhu Ziqi has room to speak, put the words here first, wait a minute, if you offend someone, there is room for relaxation, I just entered the industry, I don't understand!

Li Qingyuan took a deep look at Zhu Ziqi and knew that this young and beautiful woman was not easy to deal with: "Hehe, I came to talk to the two of you about cooperation, and each has its own position, so there is no right or wrong." ”

Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi glanced at each other, and their hearts were sure enough.

People from far away are definitely not just to meet and chat.

It seems that last night's live broadcast caused a very big response!

To be able to attract nearly two million people on its own is an absolutely amazing achievement.

Many people in the industry have taken action for Wang Xiao, wanting to control this popular traffic.

Li Tianzhi saw that the three of them were talking at the door, and hurriedly said, "Dad, Wang Xiao, Ziqi, go in and talk." ”

Li Qingyuan invited: "Two, please inside, there are some serious things I want to talk to you about." ”

Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi politely followed Li Qingyuan in.

Li Tianzhi closed the door directly, and it will be closed today.

The four of them sat at the square table in the living room, and the atmosphere was slightly serious.

Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi sat together, looking relaxed, anyway, they had no desires for the time being.

Li Qingyuan sat in the middle, Li Tianzhi sat next to him, and both father and son kept their expressions serious.

Li Qingyuan personally poured a cup of tea for Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi, and said with a smile: "Actually, Li Tianzhi went home to see me more than a week ago, and mentioned to me the proposal to sign an anchor and release an album. I refused without thinking about it, and scolded the kid. This guy is in his thirties, and he hasn't been in shape all day. ”

Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi smiled together, took the tea and said thank you, and then stopped talking.

Giving an album to an Internet celebrity anchor will indeed make many professionals laugh at it.

Li Qingyuan continued: "Two days ago, when I was paying attention to the information on the Weibo platform, I suddenly saw Wang Xiao's information and remembered Li Tianzhi's proposal to me. So I paid attention to it and found that your talent is indeed very good, beyond my imagination. By the way, I think many people will wonder, these songs you sing are really your own original?"

Li Qingyuan asked many people's questions very directly and unceremoniously.

Li Tianzhi didn't stop even if he wanted to, it's too rude to ask like this!

Because, since Wang Xiao sang Chengdu famous half a month ago, the speed of releasing new songs is too fast, almost a new song a day, and the most important thing is that every song is a rare good song, and there are many classic songs that can be sung for many years.

Such classic songs, even if they were at the peak of Chinese music more than ten or twenty years ago, are not common.

Many people don't believe that this is Wang Xiao's own work, and there should be a studio behind it.

Therefore, on Wang Xiao's Q and Weibo private messages, a large number of people come to him every day to ask this question, and even want to spend a lot of money to contact the creative studio behind him, etc.!

Wang Xiao looked directly at Li Qingyuan's gaze and replied confidently: "Yes, these works are indeed created by myself. I also said during my previous live broadcast that I only sing my own songs, and if I can't write new songs one day, maybe I will quit the live streaming industry. ”

Li Qingyuan could see absolute confidence in Wang Xiao's eyes, with his experience, he knew that Wang Xiao was telling the truth, nodded immediately, and said seriously: "Then you are the most powerful musician I have seen in the past ten years." ”

Wang Xiao smiled: "It's over." ”

Li Qingyuan shook his head: "It's not a prize, it's the truth." If it was 10 years ago, 20 years ago, there would still be a lot of musicians like you, who focused on making music and were proficient in everything. But there are almost no more in the last decade. So, have you ever thought about letting your music be heard by more people? ”

"You have recently stood at the peak of the anchor circle, I think you should be aware that even if you are already the most powerful anchor, but in the entire music field and entertainment industry, it is nothing, and your influence is limited. ”

Wang Xiao: "Well, yes, Internet celebrity anchors are indeed still a profession that is not accepted by most people! I have also heard that the entertainment industry discriminates against anchors and Internet celebrities. ”

It is rumored that Xiao Mushroom was invited to participate in a variety show with high ratings last year, thinking that it was a stepping step into the entertainment industry, but it turned out to be a small role, and the camera only gave some partial angles, and the interaction with other people was even rarer, only the host occasionally interacted with her, and other stars basically ignored her.

And even earlier, a certain DJ who was extremely famous for the fire dragon and was famous for shouting microphones was very popular. But he himself felt inferior, looked down on his profession, and when he participated in a variety show, he was called by someone to call Brother Mai, and he felt that his self-esteem was hurt, and he made all kinds of troubles, asking the other party to apologize or something, but the other party ignored him at all, and didn't treat him as a level at all.

The end of this kind of Internet addict teenager with an abnormal IQ has actually been doomed for a long time, and people with abnormal brains will die faster the higher they stand. I don't make tens of millions of dollars a year, I have to make some mess, and I was finally completely blocked, and now many people have forgotten that there is this person, but the first brother of the live broadcast who can get tens of millions of appearance fees back then, and the appearance fee is not lower than that of second-tier stars.

Anchor Internet celebrities are considered to have rubbed on the edge of the entertainment industry, but they are at the bottom of the chain of contempt in the entertainment industry, and serious celebrities do not regard anchor Internet celebrities as people in their own circles.

This is also one of the reasons why Wang Xiao has not stepped into the entertainment industry for a long time.

Since, if you go, you will be excluded, and it is not the exclusion of one or two people, but the exclusion and contempt of the entire industry circle!

Then, just wait until I'm strong enough, you can't squeeze me out if you want.

Li Qingyuan saw that Wang Xiao had an ambition, and sighed slightly in his heart, knowing that his trip might be in vain: "When I was young, I was also a literary and artistic young man, I liked music, and then I started a record company with my friends and slowly became a businessman. Although no one knows about my record company over the years, our heritage is still there, and the distribution channel is still sound!"

"Wang Xiao, you have sung more than a dozen good songs that are enough to be said to be classics, it is too wasteful to circulate them on the Internet, I think it should be made into an album and distributed to the whole country, so that people all over the country can hear your music!"

These words are similar to what Li Tianzhi said before.

Wang Xiao thought in her heart.

He wasn't very reluctant to release an album.

It's just that he wants to be an instant hit, and he wants to establish his status with an album.

Li Tianzhi interjected and said, "Dad, you might as well pay for me and Wang Xiao to partner in a company." ”

Li Qingyuan waved his hand to tell Li Tianzhi to shut up.

Zhu Ziqi didn't know Wang Xiao's specific thoughts, so he remained silent for the time being and didn't speak.

Wang Xiao said softly: "I was contacted by a record company called Dale before, saying that they wanted to sign me and release an album for me, but I refused at that time. ”

Li Qingyuan nodded lightly: "Dale is an old record company with strong strength, but in recent years, it has begun to transform into a comprehensive entertainment group, learned from foreign trainee systems, and began to train trainees by itself, which has been successful in the past two years." They're not a pure record label anymore, and if you just want to focus on making music, Dale isn't a good partner. ”

Wang Xiao: "Actually, I like Li Tianzhi's previous proposal. ”

Li Qingyuan looked at Li Tianzhi and knew what his son's proposal was, and immediately asked, "Do you want to partner with him to open a record company?"

Wang Xiao: "If you want to make a record, why don't you start your own company?"

If he could, Wang Xiao wanted to start a company by himself, but he knew that it was impossible, he had no connections and no distribution channels!

Li Tianzhi has a good relationship with him, and this person is also relatively pure, he is unkempt all day long, his family company does not go, and he plays music here alone.

Li Tianzhi also smiled: "I said it a long time ago." ”

Li Qingyuan was silent for a moment: "It's okay for the two of you to start a company in partnership, but we want to control it." ”

Wang Xiao laughed and said, "Then forget it!"

Li Qingyuan was silent again, looked at Wang Xiao carefully, and felt that this young man's ambition was really big.

Li Tianzhi: "It doesn't matter if Wang Xiao is controlled, Dad, give Wang Xiao sixty percent of the shares, and we forty percent, isn't it good?"

Li Qingyuan glared at his mentally handicapped son, and then said to Wang Xiao: "Let's go back and discuss this matter and think about it." So, according to Mr. Wang Xiao, what you mean is that you don't accept any record deals, you just want to partner with a company and make your own albums?"

Wang Xiao nodded: "Well, that's what I mean, I like to control my own destiny, I don't want to sell myself to others casually, I may lose a lot in the end!"

Over the years, all kinds of silly battles between big-name stars and old clubs have not stopped.

At the beginning, the two sides were in a cooperative relationship, but the artist was cultivated, and the old club was an enemy relationship with a conflict of interests.

But if the company holds the contract, it will be able to steadily suppress you, and you will be tired and tired of eating the big head, and will arrange more wages for you to squeeze the maximum benefits.

If you want to get out, you can only wait for the contract to expire, or you can spend a lot of money to buy out the contract and fly alone.

Therefore, in recent years, all kinds of first, second and third-tier stars have their own studios or individual companies, and they are cooperative relations with large companies, rather than subordinate relationships.

Wang Xiao doesn't want to face such trouble in the future, so she either starts her own company or doesn't do it, it's simple and direct.

After determining Wang Xiao's requirements, Li Qingyuan chatted with Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi casually, and then said goodbye and left, probably going back to discuss with a reliable person.

Li Tianzhi didn't leave, patted Wang Xiao on the shoulder and said: "The old man has taken a fancy to your potential and wants to eat alone! It's not that I don't cooperate with him, I know that you are not the kind of role that is fixed, and a win-win partnership can lead to long-term development." Don't worry, I will definitely convince the old man that we will start a company together!"

Li Tianzhi is full of confidence.

At this time, Liu Yue and Chen Xiaoyue walked in from outside, and the two came to help Wang Xiao record the soundtrack.

Chen Xiaoyue walked in and said to Wang Xiao: "I watched your live broadcast last night, and your singing skills have improved again! Also, this song is so good that I cried when I heard it. ”

Wang Xiao smiled: "Thank you, I'm sorry for you today." ”

Chen Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "I also like music, and it would be my honor to participate in the production of good music." ”

Liu Yue clapped her hands and said, "Okay, let's start quickly, there is an audition meeting in the school in the afternoon, and Xiaoyue will participate." ”

Audition?

Wang Xiao looked at Chen Xiaoyue and asked curiously, "Is it the internal audition of The Voice?"

Chen Xiaoyue nodded: "Well, the Voice production team came to our school, and I was one of the ten people who were invited to participate." ”

Phew!

The snapping sound of car brakes was heard outside.

An ordinary business vehicle stopped at the door of Li Tianzhi's recording studio.
