Chapter 3 The so-called "originality"
Seeing that Kang Hui, who was a little tired in the summer sunshine, was stretching his muscles, Chen Minhao also stood up: "Sister Kang, I recently prepared a song by myself, I want you to listen to it." ”
Kang Hui subconsciously frowned, she didn't like artists who were too thoughtful, but she still said patiently: "I have all your achievements from entering the company to the present." As far as vocal music is concerned, both the company and I trust the professional judgment of the vocal music teacher more than my own judgment. ”
She took a sip of water and continued to add: "Different positions in the entertainment industry have different divisions of labor. At present, as an interviewer, I want to judge your soft ability, and as for professional ability, we will mainly make a judgment based on the results of the usual training assessment. If I overstep my bounds, it will be disrespectful to your professional teachers, and they will be unhappy. ”
Chen Minhao nodded and said, "Well, I know that not only the agent and the professional teacher have a division of labor, but also the agent and the artist have a clear division of labor. And Sister Kang is also doing this for my own good, after all, professional teachers will be unhappy, and their overall sense of me will be worse. ”
Kang Hui's attention to Chen Minhao has risen to a higher level, she always believes that agents and artists must have a clear division of labor and perform their own duties, and artists who have too many ideas and like to meddle in brokerage affairs are often the source of disaster.
And the young man in front of him looks shy, in fact, his IQ and EQ are not low, and many problems are clear at all, and this feeling of throwing bricks and attracting jade makes her feel happy for a long time.
She has been an agent for ten years and knows the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry. Appearance is just a stepping stone, accumulating resources may be able to make a person popular, and talent or ability determines the upper limit of a person's popularity. But IQ and EQ are the keys to determining how long a person can be popular. Moreover, with the same resources, people with high emotional intelligence and high IQ can get twice the result with half the effort.
Chen Minhao continued to add with a little humility: "However, this is my original song, and I haven't told Sister He yet." So the demo hasn't come out yet, so I want to sing it to you and let you listen to it, which is a supplement to the answer to the question you just asked me what advantages I had. ”
Hearing that it was an original song, Kang Hui didn't think so, but he still nodded slightly, and Chen Minhao sang the familiar song in his memory.
"It's a simple little love song,
Singing the twists and turns of people's hearts.
I think I'm happy,
When there is your warmth,
The air at your feet turned.
This is a simple little love singing the white dove in our hearts,
I think I'm a good fit to be a singer,
Youth is floating in the wind. ”
Although I haven't heard the demo yet, I have only heard a cappella, but Kang Hui has already made a judgment: if the promotion of this song is not particularly bad, it will definitely be popular.
Kang recalled that Chen Minhao was still a trainee, and the contract signed with the company was a fixed salary contract, not a sharing contract, and she was even happier.
In his previous life, Chen Minhao liked this song very much, the original song was Soda Green's "Little Love Song", this song is not only a must-order track for his KTV, but also he once played and sang on the guitar at the college orientation party, and the response was good.
"Little Love Song" has no flowery rhetoric, no twists and turns, no complicated arrangements, and no fancy gimmicks. The lyrics are simple, straightforward, tepid and turbulent, allowing the softest places in the heart to resonate easily, and the song itself is perfect for a cappella.
The reason why I chose to sing a cappella now is that I didn't choose to play and sing by myself like a college orientation party. It's because the original owner doesn't know the guitar, and he's afraid that his identity as a traverser will be exposed. Although he was a little devastated that his predecessor didn't know any musical instrument as a trainee, he was also helpless what he could do!
The rigorous thinking that came with studying law still influenced him. Be cautious and never touch any red lines. Keeping your identity as a traverser a constant priority is the number one priority. He believed that after any government in any world knew about the existence of the traverser, there was a high probability that the ending would not be too good.
Kang Hui was shocked in his heart, but he still said in the most bland tone possible: "It's not bad." Is this the only one?"
From the moment he entered the door to the present, the young man in front of him has given himself a lot of surprises, far exceeding the evaluation of He Tian, the person in charge of the trainees, on the decent, it seems that He Tian's ability to control the artist is still relatively weak, and he still needs to exercise more.
Chen Minhao, who didn't know that his performance had caused He Tian to lose a lot of year-end bonuses and potential promotion opportunities, considered it and said: "Yes, there is only this one completed so far." ”
After reading the contract signed by the predecessor and Kamimu last night, I made up my mind that I would never "create" until the contract was changed, unless there was another very critical moment. After all, the number of songs in my mind is fixed, and with one less than one, we must ensure that the benefits are maximized.
Kang Hui frowned slightly, then stretched and then smiled again: "This song is not bad, what is the title of the song?"
Chen Minhao looked at Kang Hui, whose face changed, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart, worried that the traverser's unique killer weapon would not be easy to use, right?
In fact, after listening to this song, Kang Hui subconsciously wanted to use this song to sing to others.
According to her professional intuition, this song is the existence of the title song on the platinum album, and such a song is too wasteful for a trainee to sing, even if it is his original. But when I think about it, I am now dreaming of God, not my star-studded old club, who can I sing such a song to?
Instead of giving Wan Anqi, who may not be able to be saved by the big names in the sound cultivation industry, it is better to leave it to the young man in front of him to see what kind of surprise he can give himself.
As for other artists, hehe, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders.
Chen Minhao said in a deep voice: "Little Love Song." ”
Kang Hui stroked his hair with his hand and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
After thinking seriously for a few seconds, Chen Minhao said: "I have been a trainee for 2 years now, and I hope to use this opportunity to make my debut in a group, and then there will be some works that will satisfy the company, fans, and myself." ”
"The company, the fans, the self, this sort is a bit interesting. Kang Hui seemed to suddenly remember something, she added, "That's all for today's communication, you don't live in the company's dormitory, so be sure to keep the phone open when you go back, and make sure that any news may notify you as soon as possible." ”
When saying goodbye to Kang Hui and Wu Xiaoshuang, Kang Hui glanced at Chen Minhao meaningfully, but said nothing.
Chen Minhao puffed out his cheeks as soon as he left the door of Kang Hui's office, and exhaled silently, he knew that the final answer about future planning should not make Kang Hui particularly satisfied, after all, how to satisfy others with the answer that he was not satisfied with.
It has only been almost 24 hours since the crossing, not to mention the future planning, Chen Minhao is actually still in a state of confusion about the situation under his feet.
After all, 24 hours ago, Chen Minhao's life plan was to do investment and financing mergers and acquisitions in top law firms, use off-duty and weekends to learn financial knowledge, take several financial and finance-related certificates, and then jump ship to invest in investment banks to live a life with an annual salary of one million, and finally buy a house, get married, and have children.
Then the sudden crossing broke all this, although Chen Minhao had envied the speed of accumulating money in the entertainment industry and the drunken life of celebrities in his previous life, he never thought of getting involved in the entertainment industry, let alone being an artist.
Even though Chen Minhao had already made a decision last night and set a small goal: "Enter the three-person group and participate in the talent show "Artist Trainee" on the kiwifruit platform. ”
But only because he is quick to adapt, or has good self-control. To have a mentality is to come and come, and it is better to be elegant than embarrassed. It's true that not much thought has been given to the future.
Thinking like this, Chen Minhao had already taken the elevator downstairs. It's August, and it's still the height of summer. At half past two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining. Although the roads are lined with greenery, you can still feel the wind blowing like a heat wave.
It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the company to the dormitory, and there is no direct bus, and the starting price of a taxi is 14 yuan.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Minhao decided to walk home and comfort himself that he should exercise.
On the way, I received a call from Wu Xiaoshuang, "Do you know good news?"
"I don't know, what's the good news?" Chen Minhao twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking to himself that he was mentally retarded...... You don't say how I know there's good news.
The girl's cheerful voice on the phone was obviously lowered a little: "Sister Kang didn't let me tell you in advance, and only asked you to come to the company at 10 o'clock on Friday." By the way, don't reveal the good news when you come. In addition, I just added your WeChat, you pass it. Then he hung up.
Chen Minhao quickened his pace, grabbed his hair irritably, and said to himself, "What kind of good news is it?"
Although I want to know, since I have already asked, Wu Xiaoshuang also gave a clear answer that I can't say, so there is no need to be verbose, otherwise it will only make it difficult for others.
The earth was like a steamer, and the girl's phone call was like adding a handful of firewood.
How could the shrewd and capable Kang Hui choose an assistant with such a mismatched painting style? Chen Minghao suddenly had a bold guess.
