Chapter 11: Artists Now
"I know, I know, don't rush me! I'm busy, wait for me, I'll reply to the message first." Don't worry, your program team is really..."Zhang Chenglin complained behind him, mixed with disgust.
"Artists now. Lin Yi sighed helplessly.
The current atmosphere in the entertainment industry is really not very good, when he was on the show before, although he had become the king of Chinese, he still regarded receiving notices as a very respectful job. And now the so-called little fresh meat seems to be here to play, and it can't endure hardship.
After putting down the hood, Lin Yi said goodbye to the staff who took care of him, then put on a mask and left the Suzhou Provincial TV Station, where Jiang Tao was waiting for him in a nearby café.
"Big brother, I saw the recording you just made. The song I sang just now is really amazing! Let me tell you, if your song is put in your new album, then your comeback will be absolutely good, and the steady king will return!" Jiang Tao drank coffee and said to Lin Yi with great interest.
Lin Yi took a sip of coffee, glanced indifferently at Jinling outside the glass window, and then said, "How much money has been discussed this time, and when will it be received." ”
"Originally, the good price was 500,000 yuan in the first phase, but then the company made a move and talked about the price of 700,000 yuan! Finally, according to the company's contract, you can get 300,000 yuan, I can also get 30,000 yuan, hehe, I can get 60,000 yuan in the end!" Jiang Tao said with joy, as if the 60,000 yuan had already arrived.
Lin Yi frowned, and then asked, "Why did the company take away so much?" Of the 700,000 announcement fee, he could only get 300,000 in the end, and the profit sharing can be said to be very pitiful.
"Alas, your contract level was originally S-level, but you have been retired for four years. According to the provisions of the signing contract, they can arrange for you to be demoted, but now your level is only C-level, and the company can give you very few resources, and there are many shares that are withdrawn!" Jiang Tao said speechlessly.
Lin Yi's face gradually became heavy, the C-level contract! This level can be said to be the same treatment as a singer who has just debuted and has no popularity in his debut.
"Even if you want to make a comeback now, the company doesn't have so many resources for you. Although the company's current Xiaosheng Xiaohua doesn't have any works, they have traffic and a lot of brainless fans. And the company also poached Zhang Yiguang, you have a conflict with his resources, and you have retired for so long, the ratio of investment and income may not be better than his..."Jiang Tao glanced at Lin Yi and said in a low voice.
Lin Yi was silent and did not speak.
Zhang Yiguang is a traffic king who the company spent a lot of money to dig after he retired. In order not to lose the company's resources, the company gave Zhang Yiguang all the notices that originally belonged to Lin Yi.
Originally, Zhang Yiguang was an electronic music singer with no strength, he had no talent in music, but he could dance better than Lin Yi, and his appearance was excellent, so he had the same level of traffic as Lin Yi. But his strength is naturally not enough to become the king of heaven, but with the accumulation of resources that originally belonged to Lin Yi, his coffee position is also comparable to that of Lin Yi in the past.
Lin Yi still remembers his embarrassing rap at a tech company's press conference.
"But Brother Yi, don't worry, according to your strength level, if you make a comeback, you can still have many old fans. Jiang Tao comforted Lin Yidao.
Lin Yi took a sip of coffee, then took a deep breath and immediately asked, "When will my contract expire?"
"Brother Yi, you signed a seven-year contract, which will expire next year, probably not long after the recording of "The Mask King" ended. Jiang Tao responded.
Lin Yi nodded, but didn't say anything more.
In the next two days, Jiang Tao paid to take Lin Yi to play in Jinling for a day or two, and then Lin Yi took the high-speed train back. Before going back, he told Jiang Tao to find him more notices.
Lin Yi bought a bunch of gifts in Jinling and went back, because two days later, it would be Tu Yuyan's uncle's fiftieth birthday. Tu Yuyan and his uncle take great care of Tu Yuyan, so Lin Yi can't be treated badly.
"You and I are exaggerated! exaggerated just because I'm afraid!" On the high-speed train, the girl opposite Lin Yi accidentally turned on a loudspeaker, and then she glanced at Lin Yi, who was wearing a mask and woke up from her sleep, and turned her voice to the lowest in a panic, and then apologized to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi shook his head to indicate that it was okay, then took a deep breath, and then the mask was not very breathable, so he took off the mask and continued to sleep.
The girl put on headphones and listened to the song, then looked at the lyrics on the music software;
Composer: Lin Yi
Lyrics: Lin Yi
She is a sophomore this year, and she also heard Lin Yi's songs when she was in middle school before, and she likes Lin Yi's "Rice Fragrance", "Still", and "Bubble". But then Lin Yi retired, and even retired with all his songs. There were many covers during the period, but she still missed Lin Yi's singing voice very much.
As soon as she thought of Lin Yi, she couldn't help but listen to the pirated music source she found on the Internet a few days ago, looking at Lin Yi's handsome face, she was full of yearning for life, and then looked at Lin Yi who was sleeping in front of her.
The girl looked at Lin Yi and fell into a trance, and then he looked at Lin Yi in the photo.
"Isn't this...?Lin Yi..."The girl looked at Lin Yi and was stunned.
For this reason, she also took a special photo of Lin Yi's sleeping. She couldn't hold back her joy and sent the photo to the group, asking her friends to help her analyze it.
Five or six people in the group poured out, and more than half of them thought that this was Lin Yi!
That girl was excited! What kind of day is this, I met the former king on the high-speed train?
Lin Yi, who was sleeping with a little back pain, opened his eyes at this time, and he saw that the girl opposite was suddenly looking at him inexplicably and very excitedly, as if he had seen a rare treasure?
"Excuse me, are you... Lin Yi?" the girl asked cautiously.
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
The girl's mouth was open, and she couldn't help but want to scream, but she held back. She grabbed Lin Yi's hand at a loss, first stood up for a moment, and then sat down again when she felt that something was wrong.
"I, I've always loved your songs!" the girl was already incoherent.
Lin Yi nodded with a confused look on his face and thanked her.
"Well, why did you come to take the high-speed train. The girl asked excitedly. In her impression, celebrities are very rich, and they usually travel by plane!
"Uh... I said I'm poor, do you believe me?" Lin Yi said helplessly.
"Letter!" said the girl immediately, and in retrospect, she felt strange again.
