Chapter 34: Scandal
"Okay, it's settled, if you don't have any other problems, Gong Chen will go to the recording studio with me. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xiao Yao clapped his hands and stood up.
"Still, you've heard what we just discussed. Xiao Yao sat quietly on the side when he entered the office with them, and Fang Yi, who had never spoken, said, "That AMG Manager Tian, you go and explain to him, you know what to say to him, right?" Don't mention that Gong Chen doesn't plan to renew the contract, let Gong Chen or Sister Zhi talk about it." Also, the copyright transaction of Gong Chen's two Chinese songs will also be handed over to you to discuss with AMG. ”
"Ah, me?" Fang was still stunned, and said with some concern.
"Of course," Xiao Yao smiled, "You are my agent, and of course you will be responsible for my affairs." ”
"But I haven't even gotten my broker's license yet. Fang still said.
"If you don't get it, you can do it first. Xiao Yao said, "Anyway, sooner or later, you will have to do it, so get familiar with it first." ”
"But I've never done any of this before. Fang still hesitated with some lack of confidence.
"Okay," Xiao Siqi said with a smile, "Bayi, don't be too embarrassed about your agent and assistant, do you think everyone is a demon like you?" After all, AMG found me first, and when it comes to explaining, I'd better come forward in person. In addition, there is the copyright of Gong Chen's two Chinese songs later, and I will arrange a more experienced person to join you at that time. You can ask him to understand the negotiation skills and experience, the industry market, etc., or let him help you deal with them, but you still have to make the decision. ”
"Oh, well, thank you, boss!" Fang still hurriedly thanked Xiao Siqi. Xiao Siqi arranged it like this, and she had a lot of music in her heart.
"Manager Tian, I'll go with you too. Zheng Yuzhi also stood up, turned to Gong Chen and said, "Xiao Chen, I don't have anything to do with your recording later." I'll go back directly after talking to Manager Hetian, it's okay for you to be here alone, right?"
"No problem. Gong Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"OK, then we'll go and record. With that, Xiao Yao took Gong Chen to the recording studio.
Gong Chen had practiced for almost a week before, and had performed on the stage of the show, so he was already very familiar with the song "faded". Although there are some differences between the studio version and the live version, and there are two different versions, electronic and string, the lyrics have the same melody and rhythm, so the official recording is relatively smooth.
In two days over the weekend, Xiao Yao had already completed the production of two studio versions of "Fad". At the end of the recording on Sunday, Xiao Yao also took out the lyrics and songs of the two Chinese songs that he said he would send to Gong Chen as a single.
The first time Xiao Yao heard Gong Chen's voice was when she won the first championship in that show. The operatic cavity reminded Xiao Yao of Liu Meilin in his previous life for the first time, so the two songs that Xiao Yao took out were all songs sung by Liu Meilin in his previous life, one is called "Who Says" and the other is called "Nonsense".
Seeing the names of these two songs, Gong Chen and Xiao Siqi next to him couldn't help laughing, and even the old man Shen Yinan, who came to enjoy Xiao Yao's new songs, shook his head and called Xiao Yao a geek.
After handing over the lyrics and music scores to Gong Chen, Xiao Yao also roughly told her some ideas on arranging and soundtracks. "Who Says" is Liu Meilin's new single after participating in "Heroes of the World", and "Nonsense" is the song in her first album released after signing the Shaocheng era. Although the two songs are separated by a long interval, they both have a strong electronic style in the soundtrack. The arrangement and soundtrack of the two songs that Xiao Yao told Gong Chen naturally also have a strong electronic music style in it, which happens to be in line with the song soundtrack style that Gong Chen performed in that show.
Even if she didn't hear Xiao Yao's idea of arranging the soundtrack, Gong Chen was inclined to let Xiao Yao help her make these two singles. After all, the song "There is a Warmth Called Sisters" in Chen Chen's single album is also an electronic music style song, and she recorded "faded" in the past two days and also saw Xiao Yao's production level with her own eyes. But after all, the singles of these two songs were released by AMG, so in terms of production, you have to listen to the company's opinions, so Xiao Yao gave her the lyrics and music scores, and asked her to take them back to AMG to see what their opinions are.
As a result, before Gong Chen could express his opinion, AMG directly decided to hand over the two songs of Gong Chen's single album to Qi Jia Studio, and even asked Xiao Yao to produce it by name. After all, Xiao Yao himself has already helped Chen Chen produce a single album, and the production level is obvious to all, and judging from the program of "Super Cool Electronic Music", Xiao Yao surpasses their company's own producer in terms of the arrangement and production of electronic music, as well as the tacit understanding of cooperation with Gong Chen, plus the song written by Xiao Yao, he must know best, so he did not hesitate to hand over the production task to Xiao Yao.
For the production task pushed by AMG, Xiao Yao is indispensable, anyway, the song he got from his previous life, the arrangement and soundtrack already have a template in his head, just follow it, and it doesn't take too much brains. As for the time, Xiao Yao doesn't care too much, anyway, whether it is Chen Chen and his own mini album, it is a long-term plan, and the MV also needs to be prepared, and the production of these two songs is just a weekend and two days for him, and he has already been prepared to be a producer by himself, and it will not have any impact on his plans.
The following week, Xiao Yao devoted himself to the production of two Chinese songs for Gong Chen's single album. According to the previous practice, Xiao Yao did the arrangement and soundtrack at home on weekday nights, and at the same time let Gong Chen familiarize himself with the lyrics and songs, and occasionally let Gong Chen go to the recording studio in his basement to try out.
During this period, Fang Yi, who appeared as Xiao Yao's agent for the first time, also completed his work well. Since it was a one-time sale of all commercial copyrights to AMG, and there was no later sharing income, Xiao Yao didn't care about the difference in price, so Fang still let it go. Anyway, according to the broker's rules, Fang can still share from Xiao Yao's income, and the higher the price she sells, the more her own income will be. What price she can sell for depends on her own performance.
After handing over the recorded audio source to AMG for the post-production of physical disc burning and the launch of the music website, Xiao Yao put the matter of Gong Chen's new single behind him and began to prepare for his MV shooting. As for AMG's request to cooperate with the publicity, Xiao Yao's attitude is that it doesn't matter if he uses his name to promote, but if he wants to come forward to participate in any activities, he will not be accompanied.
You must know that since he participated in "The Voice" last year, Xiao Yao has always been a hot topic in the media, not to mention that he has just caused great discussion on the Internet because of his winning of the art examination. It is true that Gong Chen became popular because of that electronic music program, but when it comes to fame and popularity at this stage, Xiao Yao has thrown Gong Chen several streets. Regarding Xiao Yao's words that his name could be used for publicity, AMG's publicity and promotion department immediately flashed a publicity plan to fry the scandal between Xiao Yao and Gong Chen.
At the beginning of that electronic music show, Xiao Yao and Gong Chen were the two most outstanding performers. Although Xiao Yao only appeared in one episode, his four new songs won three championships and one runner-up. Gong Chen is proud of all the players with three single-phase championships. Among Xiao Yao's four songs, Gong Chen alone accounted for a chorus and a solo, while Chen Chen was only two chorus songs, and Chen Chen still sang an old song when he participated for the third time, and Xiao Yao also specially designed and prepared performance costumes for Gong Chen. It seems that Xiao Yao takes better care of Gong Chen than Chen Chen, who combines Xiao Yao's various identities as a colleague, partner, teammate and friend.
Just from the various performances in the show, it is enough to make people expand some imagination, and now Xiao Yao wrote two new songs for Gong Chen, who is not a singer in his company, and personally produced an album for him, I heard that Xiao Yao booked Gong Chen to star in his first directing, that is, Gong Chen's MV for the song he sang solo in the show?
Since the scandal between its own singer and other stars is deliberately hyped up for the purpose of publicity, it stands to reason that the company should say hello to its own singer and the other star. Especially Xiao Yao has already made it public that he has a girlfriend. I don't know if it was because of the negligence of the AMG publicity department or the deliberate ignorance of the opinions of Gong Chen and Xiao Yao. Anyway, when Xiao Yao and Gong Chen were caught off guard, the scandal between Xiao Yao and Gong Chen suddenly broke out on the Internet.
Most of the scandals of celebrities start with the revelations of gossip tabloids. This is the case with the scandal between Xiao Yao and Gong Chen.
"Love at First Sight: The New Love of the Art Examination Champion"
An article that broke the news with suspicion that Xiao Yao and Gong Chen met in the program "Super Cool Electronic Music" and had a good impression of each other and fell in love suddenly appeared on the website of a gossip media.
In the article, by sorting out and analyzing the performance of Xiao Yao and Gong Chen in the show, it is speculated that the two may have a personal relationship. The main story is that Gong Chen received some special care from Xiao Yao in the show.
After Xiao Yao participated in the fifth episode of the program, the song sung by Gong Chen and Chen Chen in the sixth episode was composed by Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao also specially asked the well-known French designer Gilles Fonsell for Gong Chen to borrow the performance costume that made her look fairy. It seems to be okay here, after all, Gong Chen was loaned to the Shazhou team in the sixth issue, and he cooperated with his colleague and friend Chen Chen, and it was normal for Xiao Yao to contribute something in it.
But in the seventh issue, when Gong Chen returned to Wan Peiling's team, the songs sung by Gong Chen were still Xiao Yao's originals, and the whole performance was handled by Xiao Yao from the choreography and soundtrack of the song to the entire stage design, which couldn't help but make people feel a little reminiscent. After all, Xiao Yao was invited to the show by Shazhou, and Gong Chen was a contestant in Wan Peiling's team. If it is because of Wan Peiling, when Wan Peiling lent Gong Chen to Shazhou in the sixth issue, Xiao Yao had already repaid her favor by helping "Green Apple Girl" design the Korean song. It is said that Gong Chen has just finished recording a new single ready for release, and Xiao Yao has also handled the two songs from songwriting to arrangement, soundtrack, and even recording and production, indicating that there is very likely to be some kind of special relationship between the two.
is such an analysis-based report, and most people disapprove of it after reading it, or even scoff at it. You must know that Xiao Yao has disclosed his identity with his girlfriend in a high-profile manner. posted "childhood sweethearts" on Weibo, performed on the same stage in "The Voice" and showed sweetness, and even played flash mobs on the street to publicly develop sugar abuse dogs. Although some media reported that Xiao Yao's girlfriend Sun Tingting went to the United States to study, I have never heard of the two of them breaking up!
After this article came out, it did not cause much repercussions, except for attracting some sensationalism and fabricating scandals. However, a series of fierce revelations with picture evidence that broke out in the follow-up made more and more people suspicious, and once again pushed Xiao Yao to the news headlines of major entertainment websites.
