Chapter 5: China Entertainment Company (Seeking Collections and Recommendations)
Li Xiang turned his head when he heard the voice, and he was still a little stunned, he didn't know anyone on Jiangbei TV, let alone anyone who knew his name.
A middle-aged man in his thirties walked over behind him, wearing a black-framed glasses and a Chinese face, and the whole person looked very elegant and easy-going.
"Hello, I am the director of The Voice of China, Zhang Wenshan. Zhang Wenshan smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Hello Director Zhang, I don't know what you are looking for me?" Li Xiang immediately relieved himself, stretched out his hand, and showed his trademark smile.
Zhang Wenshan pushed his glasses and said calmly: "This is not the place to talk, if there is nothing wrong with the two of you, I will have a light meal with the two of you, I don't know if it's okay?"
Li Xiang and the white fat man exchanged glances with each other, although they didn't know Zhang Wenshan's intentions, it seemed that there should be no malicious intent at present.
The two of them were not hypocritical, and left directly with Zhang Wenshan.
Baroque is a very famous western restaurant in Jiangbei City, where there are many high-class people, and the people who come and go are very complicated.
It is even very common to meet a few second- and third-tier stars.
"Director Zhang, why do you have time to come over today? I was watching your show of The Voice of China just now!"
As soon as the three of them entered the store, a man in a suit strode over and said with a smile.
In order not to affect the dining of other guests, the voice is not loud, and it can be seen from the small details that this is a very qualified man.
Zhang Wenshan smiled and said, "Find two juniors to talk about something, Brother Li, you can find me a quiet private room." ”
Li Qing glanced at Li Xiang and the others, and nodded lightly: "Then the old place on the second floor?"
"Yes!"
Li Xiang looked at the price of the food on the menu, and couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, this price can be compared with the Western restaurants in the first-tier cities in his previous life.
The per capita consumption is probably one or two thousand, which is really a big deal.
The comfortable and gentle piano sound gradually sounded, Zhang Wenshan crossed his hands, put his hands on the table and said softly:
"Since I'm here, I won't hide it, that's the case, based on your performance on the show, the company's senior management decided to let me come over and ask you, do you have any intention of signing with China Entertainment?"
China Entertainment Company, recognized as the industry's No. 1 entertainment company in the entertainment industry today, has a large number of first-line stars, even some famous superstars in China, and several of them are under China Entertainment.
The Voice of China is a program founded by China Entertainment Company, and Li Xiang also knew some about it before participating in the competition.
Li Xiang pondered for a while, and then said: "That's the case, Director Zhang, I have just participated in one episode of the show, and I haven't thought about the future plan yet, so I'll contact you when I have this intention." ”
Zhang Wenshan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Li Xiang to refuse.
China Entertainment Company is not a small miscellaneous fish will sign, the people who sign are some very potential talents, besides, as long as you enter China Entertainment Company, if you can get some resources.
As long as you have a certain ability, you can hold it up, and it is still very easy to reach the level of the third line just after your debut.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, the company has already sent me the contract, you might as well take a look and make a decision first. Zhang Wenshan still said a little unwillingly.
I have to say that Li Xiang's two songs are very distinctive, different styles, but they have the same potential, they are both good songs that can be popular, coupled with his strong stage performance ability, it is easy to become popular with a little packaging.
Li Xiang's talent is not to be doubted, he is only 25 years old, it is when he is young, he is outstanding in appearance and talented.
It can be said that as long as you enter China Entertainment, a few years later, another superstar will appear in the entertainment industry.
The white fat man glanced at Li Xiang fiercely, rubbed his fat hands and said, "Director Zhang, Xiangzi may have just stepped down, and his brain is still a little dizzy, if you don't mind, can you bring the contract and show me it?"
Zhang Wenshan agreed without thinking about it, and took out a contract from his briefcase.
He is not afraid that Li Xiang will leak the content of the contract, and China Entertainment's contract is considered a conscience in the industry.
Even if it is for trainees, the treatment is far higher than that of other entertainment companies, if the contract is really announced, maybe China Entertainment will have to thank them.
The white fat man picked up the contract and looked at it carefully, although he had never signed a contract with others, but under his father's ears, he still understood something more or less.
"In terms of the contract, you can also go to a professional lawyer to see, and if there is anything unsatisfactory about the conditions, you can mention it to me. ”
After that, Zhang Wenshan handed Li Xiang a business card and said: "In this way, you think about it for a few days, if you have the intention of signing a contract, you can call me at any time, I still have some things on the program team, so I will miss the company first." ”
Li Xiang stood up, shook hands with Zhang Wenshan gently, and sent him out of the private room.
Zhang Wenshan is a person who does not have the aggressive feeling of those scouts in his previous life, but he is very decent in his conversation, which can easily arouse the favor of others.
It is estimated that this is also the reason why Zhang Wenshan was directly dispatched to talk about the signing, which also proved Li Xiang's potential.
Immediately, he didn't think much about it, and began to eat with his head bored, and the white fat man on the side let out an exclamation from time to time.
"Hibiki! Hibiki! Look at this contract! Sign you for three years, a basic salary of 300,000 yuan a Chinese New Year's Eve, not counting other shares! The conditions given to you are too generous!" The white fat man said excitedly, and the flesh on his face trembled.
Li Xiang was also a little surprised, the conditions given by China Entertainment Company are indeed good, and three years is not a long time.
Anyway, he is still young, there is time, and three years later, Li Xiang is only 28 years old, and he is in the prime of life.
Now the veteran stars in their fifties and sixties in the entertainment industry are still popular, and their demeanor has not diminished as they were back then.
"Let's not study these for now, let's talk about it after the game is over, aren't you a director?" Li Xiang picked up the contract and put it on the table casually and asked.
The white fat man straightened his chest with some pride: "Of course, we are also high-achieving students who came out of Yanying!
Li Xiang nodded secretly, although the fat man was a little funny, he was still very relieved in terms of doing things, he was not good at bragging.
The two had eaten, and when they went downstairs to settle the bill, they knew that Zhang Wenshan had already paid when he left, and they couldn't help but have some good feelings for him.
"Little brother, you are Li Xiang, right? The one who sang Wolf Disco just now?" Li Qing asked with a slight smile.
Li Xiang was slightly stunned, he didn't expect someone to know him just after the show ended, and nodded a little shyly.
"Hahaha, little brother, you are very good, you will definitely be able to develop in the future, you accept this. Li Qing handed out a black card and said.
"No, no, this is too expensive. Li Xiang hurriedly excused himself.
What Li Qing gave away was the highest-level VIP card of the Baroque restaurant, and there were only more than 100 cards in the entire Jiangbei City, which could be sold for about 10w on the treasure pickup.
"You're welcome, little brother, you and I are both surnamed Li, we are our own family, you can be my brother and I will invest in you, so you can accept it with confidence." Li Qing said with a smile.
After several excuses, Li Xiang still accepted the card, and after the party this night, he was a little foggy, and the whole person was floating.
The evening breeze gradually took on a hint of coolness, and the two of them leisurely walked and ate.
After walking all the way, a little tired, the two sat by the river, bought a few cans of beer, and chatted.
Across this river, on the other side is Hong Kong Island, a brightly lit and prosperous scene.
The white fat man extinguished the cigarette butt, threw it in the trash can and asked softly:
"Hibiki, did you really put it down?"
Li Xiang nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "What can't I put down, with my long face, what can't I find?" Didn't you hear that several people in the audience are going to give me monkeys today?"
The white fat man punched him with a smile and didn't speak.
When I was still in high school, the whole class knew about Ying Linlin and Li Xiang's relationship, and even the head teacher knew about it.
But both of them had good grades, so they didn't break the layer of window paper.
It wasn't until later, after graduating from high school that Ying Linlin, who had a good family condition, went to the UK to study, and the two persisted in a foreign relationship for a year, and finally said goodbye.
A few months ago, the news of her marriage came, and Li Xiang, who was busy with the funeral at home, couldn't catch up.
To be honest, I still have a lot of regrets when I didn't see her in a wedding dress.
Li Xiang looked at the bustling neon city, and gradually became trance-like, a little drunk.
Sometimes getting drunk is not really drinking too much, a person wants to get drunk, and he can get drunk with a sip.
All kinds of past events appeared in front of him, Li Xiang's head was hot, and he picked up the guitar next to him and began to play.
As the sound of the guitar sounded, many people gradually gathered around, forming a small semicircle, enveloping Li Xiang in it.
His face was already covered with tears, blurred his vision, and he opened his mouth to sing softly.
"Quietly accompanied you for a long time,
I didn't even notice that my eyes were red,
Listen to you say that you are changing now,
Looking at the smiling face I still love you the most,
The old path remains the same,
Every time I passed by in the past, it was a sunny day,
Remembering the past we had,
Little by little, the tears began to spread,
I turned my face,
I won't let you see,
The hidden undercurrents have become more and more obvious,
After today,
Don't meet again,
I'm afraid to wake up and miss you several times a day,
I kissed you on the face,
Your hands have been on my shoulders,
It feels so sweet and I'm so attached,
Whenever I close my eyes,
I can always see,
All broken promises will be fulfilled.
…………………………”
There was no hysterical roar, only painful longing.
The break point of the piano playing is a little more gentle, and the guitar is a little more reluctant.
Li Xiang sobbed and finished singing the song, the voice was not loud, and everyone present was very quiet, isolating a quiet place in the noisy city.
Li Xiang originally didn't like to smoke and drink, but it wasn't until the pressure of life came to him that he realized that these two things were really inseparable.
Tobacco and alcohol can paralyze people's nerves and brains, force themselves to stop thinking about those heavy things, and leave a little room for themselves who are out of breath.
But even if he drinks too much, Li Xiang will find a place to sleep quietly by himself, which will not affect others, and it is sensible and distressing.
Most of the youth has passed, and I don't know if love has drawn a breaking point.
If someone asks Li Xiang if he still believes in love, he will definitely raise his head proudly and say in affirmation.
Believe it! Because I've met it!
The white fat man walked home with Li Xiang on his back, still smiling stupidly.
didn't know that in this short period of time, the video of Li Xiang singing has been quietly reposted on Weibo more than one million.
