After the seaside performance, the filming of Eva's swimsuit special was all over. The next day, after hugging and saying goodbye to the entire filming team at the airport in San Juan, Xiao Yao boarded the plane back to Huaxia alone.

Xiao Yao went to Puerto Rico in late August, and after this ten-day recharging trip, the summer vacation is almost over. Back in Shencheng, it was also the day of school.

After registration, opening ceremony, course selection, and a set of familiar processes, Xiao Yao's junior year career officially began. After entering the university, Xiao Yao rarely stayed in school honestly and only as a student. Now that the school year has ended his lazy vacation state, Xiao Yao has considered doing something else in addition to class.

Xiao Yao's most important work plan at present is Ye Jiaying's movie. As the big male protagonist of the film, Xiao Yao will definitely be the main force in the promotion before and during the release of the movie, and there will be a lot of publicity activities to participate in. However, the film is still in post-production work such as editing and soundtrack. After the post-production is completed, there is a series of work to be done, such as submitting for review and determining the schedule. The filming of the film was only completed in mid-August, and it is estimated that it will not be able to catch up with the schedule of September and October, so at least in this month, Xiao Yao does not need to do anything for this movie.

Although there is no need to do anything in terms of movies for the time being, Xiao Yao, who is relatively free, did not take on other jobs, but focused on Ah Zi.

As early as New Year's Day, Xiao Yao promised to help Ah Zi, and made a series of arrangements for her.

In March, Xiao Yao introduced her to the three female anchors of Youyu as planned, and asked Ah Zi to go to their live broadcast room as a guest for live broadcast, and some work has been done. However, according to Xiao Yao's original arrangement, if it goes well, he will write a song for A Zi in half a year, and make efforts to send A Zi to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. The Spring Festival Gala is still very early, but Xiao Yao has not finished helping her write songs.

In the past six months, whether it is the growth of Ah Zi's popularity or the growth of his singing skills, in Xiao Yao's eyes, it can be regarded as smooth, and he has already reached the conditions for writing songs for her, but in the two months of the summer vacation, Xiao Yao basically made movies in Ye Jiaying's crew, and after filming the movie, he went to Puerto Rico to take a vacation to recharge, and the matter of helping Ah Zi write songs was postponed. Now it's September, and after the charging trip in Puerto Rico, Xiao Yao is also in a state of full resurrection, and it is time for Xiao Yao to fulfill his promise.

Writing songs is not difficult for Xiao Yao, and recording songs is not troublesome. Xiao Yao wrote and recorded songs for the three female anchors of Youyu last summer, and he did it at a rate of one song in two days. But for Ah Zi, Xiao Yao didn't just help her write songs and record songs, he also had to help Ah Zi consider the issue of song release and publicity.

At the beginning, Xiao Yao's songs to the three female anchors of Youyu were only for online distribution on the Internet, although there are also physical discs, but they are also customized one or two hundred, mainly used as prizes for offline signing activities and live broadcasts, and the physical discs have not entered the physical video store and are sold on a large scale on the Internet, so they are naturally not physical distribution.

This is also a common practice for most online singers to release songs. Because of the development of society, especially the impact of digital music, the sales of physical records are now getting worse, and the income of physical records is almost negligible for singers. For record companies and singers, releasing records is becoming more and more like a means of publicity and a status symbol for singers. Now some traditional singers don't release physical records when they release new songs, let alone those online singers?

At present, Ah Zi can only be regarded as an Internet singer, but the purpose of Xiao Yao and Ah Zi is not to make Ah Zi just an Internet singer, so in terms of distribution, the release of physical records as a status symbol must also be carried out.

It is very rare for singers to place orders for physical record release, and they are usually customized, and the number is not too much. The main physical record distribution is still operated by record labels.

Xiao Yao's own physical records have always been handed over to Xiao Siqi's former owner, Huayu Records, which has a cooperative relationship with Qijia Studio, to produce and distribute, but Ah Zi's new songs are not suitable for Huayu. Ah Zi was rejected for a demo to China Entertainment, partly because Zhang Baoqing had said hello. Even if China Entertainment reluctantly agrees to release it on behalf of Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao now for the sake of Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao's fame, it is estimated that they will not spend too much effort on the record promotion of this rookie online singer who offended the master of quyi in their hearts.

Over the years, Xiao Yao has also made a certain number of contacts in the Chinese music circle. In addition to China Entertainment, he also knows many people who have considerable status and voice in other record companies. For example, Diman Records with Chen Huan as the music director, Star Disc Records with Shazhou as the music director, and Haiyin Entertainment with Hong Wei as the chairman and CEO, Xiao Yao can all try it.

After weighing it, Xiao Yao finally chose Hong Wei's Haiyin Entertainment. During last year's "Singer", Hong Wei was deeply impressed by Xiao Yao, a little demon, and he also liked it from the bottom of his heart. I heard that Xiao Yao was looking for her about work, so she immediately agreed to meet Xiao Yao. After making an appointment with Hong Wei, Xiao Yao took Ah Zi and Fang Yi to the headquarters of Haiyin Entertainment.

The meeting place was in Hong Wei's office. After some greetings, Xiao Yao didn't say too many polite words, introduced Ah Zi to Hong Wei, and then directly explained his intention to Hong Wei.

"It's not a problem to help an online singer release a physical single," Hong Wei asked suspiciously, "However, Lao Xiao came out of China Entertainment, and now he still has a cooperative relationship with China Entertainment." I heard that the physical records of the singers under your studio have always been handed over to China Entertainment for distribution, why don't you find China Entertainment and find me here?"

"Because Ah Zi did not sign a contract with our studio, he is not a singer under our studio. What's more, Ah Zi has given a demo to China Entertainment before, but he was not favored by China Entertainment, and now let them help Ah Zi release a physical single record, they may feel more awkward. Xiao Yao explained.

"If you voted for a demo and didn't get a fancier?, then you still want to help her release a single?" Hong Wei couldn't help frowning.

"The demo was cast two years ago. Since the beginning of this year, she has been learning vocal music systematically with our school's teacher Han Yueqing, and she has been learning for eight months. I can help her write songs and record songs, and I can help her out of the entity, which means that her current singing skills must be fine. Xiao Yao took out a USB flash drive and said, "Her new song has been recorded, and I brought it too." Sister Hong, you can listen to it first, if you don't think it's okay, I definitely won't force you to help release a physical single. ”

"Wait a while," Hong Wei waved his hand, didn't pick up Xiao Yao's USB flash drive, but continued to ask, "Since this little girl's singing skills are okay, and it's your work, you come forward in person, even if it is inconvenient for China Entertainment to release it, there should be a lot of record companies willing to help you distribute it, right?"

"Not to mention anything else, you have written songs for Teacher Chen Huan's students, helped Shazhou save the scene, and your friendship with Teacher Chen Huan and Lao Sha should be good, right? One of them is in Diman, and the other is in Xingdie, but they are all people who can speak!" Hong Wei continued, "When it comes to singing, I am not afraid of anyone, but when it comes to the strength of the company and the ability to distribute, my new company, which has been established for less than three years, is not as good as the old big record companies such as Diman and Xingdie, and I still have self-knowledge of this! Why did you choose my Haiyin to help you do this?" ”

"They're music directors, but you're the chairman!" Xiao Yao smiled.

"Come less!" Hong Wei glared at Xiao Yao and said, "It's just a single release! This kind of thing, one of their music directors can also make a decision!"

"Okay, I'll be honest!" Xiao Yao shook his head with a wry smile, "Actually, it's because there is a big man in the music industry who doesn't want Ah Zi to be a singer! I won't say who it is, why it's inconvenient for me to say, but part of the reason why China Entertainment rejected A Zi's demo was because the big guy in the music industry said hello to China Entertainment." Helping Ah Zi release a physical single this time is also an important step for Ah Zi to become a singer in the real sense, I'm afraid that the music master will have any moves. In case that big guy puts pressure on Diman or Xingdie, and Ah Zi is just a newcomer, I'm afraid that Teacher Chen Huan or Teacher Shazhou will have a hard time. ”

"The big man in the music industry?" Hong Wei was surprised, and did not ask, but glared at Xiao Yao and said, "Are you afraid that Teacher Chen Huan and Lao Sha will be difficult to do, so you are not afraid that I will be difficult to do?"

"Isn't that because you have a lot of energy, and you have always dared to act boldly, and you are not influenced by others?" Xiao Yao smiled, "Of course, I don't mean that Teacher Chen Huan and Teacher Shazhou are afraid of things, but after all, they are only music directors, and there are company CEOs who have more consideration, and I am afraid that it will cause conflicts between them and the company's senior management, which is not good." You're different, you're both the chairman and the music director, you're the biggest in the company, and as long as you decide something, no one else will object, and you won't have a problem with that. ”

The reason why Xiao Yao chose to come to Hong Wei for help is the most important reason.

"I'm not afraid of anyone, but I'm not stupid, why do I offend people for no reason?" Hong Wei glanced at Xiao Yao and said, "For a rookie singer who wants to transform from an Internet celebrity anchor to offend a music master?

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded seriously, "I helped Ah Zi write songs, helped Ah Zi record songs, and helped her go to the live broadcast rooms of other network anchors to create popularity." I just don't have a record company, otherwise I would have helped her release the physical singles myself. Now you help her send it, or you can say to the outside world that I asked you to help send it! You see that I help Ah Zi so much, if you want to offend, I am also the one who offended the big guy, you see that I am not afraid, what do you have to worry about?"

"yes!" Hong Wei nodded unconsciously, and looked at Ah Zi suspiciously, "Hey! I said who are you this little girl? You help her so much? Girlfriend? I heard your father say when I participated in "Singer" last year that your girlfriend is the daughter of Teacher Sun Zhihao's family, and she grew up with your childhood sweetheart! Why, broke up?"

"No, no!" Ah Zi blushed, and hurriedly waved his hand again and again, "Xiao Yao and I are ordinary friends." ”

"Where did you say you went!" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "My girlfriend and I haven't broken up, and our relationship is good." Ah Zi is my friend, um~ can be regarded as the same door, she is my junior sister!"

"Senior sister?" Hong Wei and Ah Zi looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.

"What kind of junior sister? She is also a student of the Shen Opera Performance Department?" Hong Wei asked Xiao Yaodao.

"No, she's already out of college. Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, and pointed to Fang Yidao, "Ah Zi is also an artist under Miss Fang Yiyi. Aren't the artists under the same agent the same family?She only signed a contract with Ying this year, later than me, isn't she my junior sister?" After a dinner with the three female anchors of Youyu in March, Ah Zi listened to Xiao Yao's advice and really signed a brokerage contract with Fang.

"Go, do you have such a calculation? You just take advantage of me to take advantage of others!" Fang still glanced at Xiao Yao and said, "According to what you say, Sister La is also your junior sister?"

"Ah Zi and Sister La can be said to be my artists, you are not, you are my boss!" Fang still continued with a wry smile, "Do you see that now I can help Ah Zi talk about the release of the physical single or you come forward, I can only listen to it, is there an agent like me?"

"Isn't this my relationship with Sister Hong. Xiao Yao smiled, "Don't worry, after Sister Hong agrees to come down, you will need to come out in the future!"

"Yo, as if I would say yes. Hong Wei smiled.

"Sister Hong," Xiao Yao said with a straight face, "Although I can't tell you the specific reason, Ah Zi and that quyi boss actually don't have any deep hatred. When Ah Zi succeeds, the quyi boss will no longer have any actions against her. You believe me, I won't hurt you! If you promise this, it will definitely be good in the long run!"

"Really?" Hong Wei said as he stared at Xiao Yao's eyes.

"Really!" Xiao Yao looked at Hong Wei's eyes and nodded very seriously.

"Okay," Hong Wei nodded, stretched out his hand to Xiao Yao and said, "Leave nothing else at that, let me hear how she sings." You know that Sister Hong doesn't rub sand in her eyes, she speaks with strength. ”

"No problem!" Xiao Yao confidently handed over the USB flash drive to Hong Wei's hand.

Hong Wei has a set of top-level audio equipment in his office, and the speakers are also top-notch, but Hong Wei did not use the external playback, but inserted the USB flash drive into the audio equipment, took out a headphone and plugged it in, and listened to the songs in the USB flash drive without interference.

"It's really good, the voice is very distinctive, and the singing is also very good!" After taking off the headphones, Hong Wei nodded to Xiao Yao.

"Then this matter is settled?" Xiao Yao said happily, "As for the revenue sharing and the like, you can send someone to discuss it with you." ”

"Wait," Hong Wei said, waving his hand, "It does sound good, but you're a finished product." Who knows how many adjustments you've made for her in the later stage, and what the sound repair will look like? So, you come with me to the studio, and I'm going to hear her performance in the studio live. ”

"Okay, no problem. Xiao Yao said confidently.

"Yes!" Ah Zi also nodded confidently.

Haiyin's headquarters also has a recording studio, and it is downstairs from Hong Wei's office, and everyone quickly moved from Hong Wei's office to the recording studio.

Hong Wei didn't have Xiao Yao's new song accompaniment here, but the music file in the USB flash drive that Xiao Yao gave Hong Wei was multi-track. Hong Wei separated the accompaniment part and put it in the equipment in the recording studio to play, and asked Ah Zi to enter the recording room and sing the song in the USB flash drive again, and the result was also a very satisfied nod.

After Ah Zi returned to the control room after singing, Hong Wei asked Ah Zi and Fang Yi with a smile: "Ah Zi, Miss Fang, you just signed an agency contract, and Ah Zi hasn't signed a contract with a record company yet, right?"

"Could it be?" Xiao Yao, Ah Zi, and Fang still glanced at each other, and their faces all showed joy.

"Yes!" Ah Zi and Fang still nodded together.

"So are you willing to sign a contract with my company?" Sure enough, Hong Wei asked what they had guessed in their hearts.

"Of course, what I'm talking about is that Miss Fang signed an acting contract with our company on behalf of her artists as an independent agent, including records, and I will not ask Ah Zi to change his agent. Hong Wei added, "But in this way, the online distribution of the digital music of this single has to be handed over to our company." ”

In fact, Hong Wei is also an old man. Although she didn't know what the big man in the music industry had with Ah Zi, she knew that Xiao Yao, a kid, was a good person, and she would definitely not do that kind of trouble-seeking thing. Since Xiao Yao said that her promise to this matter would definitely be beneficial in the long run, she naturally wanted to maximize this benefit.

Ah Zi's image and singing skills are very good, and with Xiao Yao helping her in the back, she will definitely be able to become popular. Ah Zi has not signed a contract with the record company yet, so Hong Wei naturally wants to take the lead. Of course, she also knows the relationship between Ah Zi and Xiao Yao, Ah Zi will definitely not terminate the contract with Xiao Yao's agent, and with this relationship, there will definitely be more benefits to Ah Zi's future development, so Hong Wei didn't want to hold Ah Zi directly in his hands, but proposed a cooperative acting contract.

"Yes, of course I do!" Ah Zi nodded repeatedly.

"Yes!" Fang still said, "If you sign an acting contract, the online distribution will naturally be operated by your company." ”

Xiao Yao didn't say anything, but judging from the smile he shown, of course he was happy to see it.

Signing a contract with a record company was also one of the conditions of Azi's agreement with his father. This condition was not originally in the plan arranged by Xiao Yao for Ah Zi, but he didn't expect it to be achieved so unintentionally. This is a surprise for Xiao Yao and Ah Zi.

"Then I'll send someone to discuss the details of the contract with Miss Fang. Hong Wei said.

"Good. Fang still nodded in agreement.

"Xiao Yao," Hong Wei looked at Xiao Yao again, "I signed Ah Zi, but I can't get rid of you." No matter what our company's publicity ability is, since you were also helping her, you can't escape the publicity work of this new single. You've got to help spread the word!"

"No problem, it should be!" Xiao Yao nodded and smiled.

"Okay, since that's the case, then the task of promoting the first release of the new song will be handed over to you!" Hong Wei nodded and assigned Xiao Yao the task, "You kid has a lot of ideas, and he often throws new songs out on various occasions, and he can also create topics." How to make Ah Zi's new song debut, you can plan and operate this matter!"

"Okay, I'll come, I'll come!" Xiao Yao patted his chest and said.
