Chapter Twenty-Nine: Music in the Forest
"Hey, hello?"
"Hello Mr. Cao, Xianjuyuan Cemetery is the only first-class cemetery in Xiangcheng, and the feng shui is excellent. Now the cemetery across the country is rising, the investment prospects are huge, and I am not afraid of smashing it in my hands, and now there is a 20% discount to start......"
"Get out of your uncle!" Cao Wu hung up the phone, looking confused.
I looked at my watch, it was only six o'clock in the morning, and I called early in the morning to sell the cemetery, and you deserved to sell it!
Since uploading samples on music platforms such as Kucat, Cao Wu often receives all kinds of sales calls, and he is annoyed to death.
To upload a work on a music platform, you need to register your identity, name, nickname, and phone number.
This move is to facilitate the platform and creators to connect with copyright and other businesses, but the platform is obviously not monolithic, and Cao Wu's information was sold.
Fortunately, there was no registered address, otherwise the small card would have been stuffed into the crack of the door of the house.
Cyber information security is so important.
These calls are not only selling insurance, fitness, real estate, but even pretending to be well-known music companies, who want to sign brokerage contracts at the beginning, but have to pay tens of thousands of handling fees and relationship fees, and deceive stupid boys.
But there are really people who are deceived, and it is not uncommon for a young man with a dream to chase his music dream in the news media and be deceived by a black agent.
Lying back on the bed, Cao Wu couldn't sleep.
After rolling around twice, Cao Wu got up, sat down in front of the computer and put on his headphones.
These days, the Black Hole Band has rehearsed another song "All Choose C", and the post-production work has not yet been completed, Cao Wu is ready to work overtime to make the whole song before eleven, so as to free up time to shoot "Flash Girl".
There's not enough time!
Cao Wu really wants to know how the protagonists of those rebirth novels can copy tens of thousands of words of novels casually, and make a movie in a few days at the same time, and by the way, they can also bubble girls and slap the face of the brain-disabled rich second generation.
It's hard enough for him to finish his homework every day and find time for band rehearsals.
It will take two years to graduate from high school, when will this day be a head!
Jingle bells!
"Hello?"
"Mr. Cao, have you heard of Amway?"
"Get out!"
……
Magic City, Niu Li carried a handbag and walked into the Forest Music Record Company, from the first day she entered the company to become the youngest director of the company's brokerage department, she has never been late for a day.
While other colleagues were still in bed and wanted to get up for five more minutes, she was already at the office ready to start the day.
Slowly grinding a cup of fragrant coffee, sitting in the office, leisurely sipping, this is her most extravagant enjoyment of the day.
She has always been a person who pursues quality of life, never willing to compromise, and will not blindly pursue luxury.
Female colleagues talk about Chanel, Dior's upcoming autumn and winter collections, she participates in the conversation, but never buys it.
She is very confident in her fashion sense, and through the clever combination of some ordinary fashion brands, she seems to be better at dressing than others every time.
But she is not reluctant to spend money, she will buy tens of thousands of silk scarves, as long as she likes it, she will also squat on the street to choose the wooden hairpin carved by the grandfather himself, and insert it on the top of her head at will.
She has her own ideas and pursuits, as well as her own preferences and persistences, and although she may be different from ordinary people, she knows that is where her abilities lie.
Relying on her keen understanding and prediction of the market, she can always preemptively make judgments, and it is this ability that allows her to discover a genius rookie singer, and she is also one of the two pillars of forest music today, Jiang Zhuo.
However, her ability can only help her discover talent, but it can't let her see through people's hearts, and in the past two months, Jiang Zhuo's termination turmoil has made her a little haggard.
The old rival Yuanda Music had already begun to contact Jiang Zhuo as early as the end of last year to discuss job hopping, liquidated damages and new contracts, and the company did not know about this until Jiang Zhuo proposed to terminate the contract, and she had an unshirkable responsibility as the head of the brokerage department.
Jiang Zhuo personally signed in to the company, and even arranged for the best agent under her to take her, but Jiang Zhuo colluded with the agent to deceive the company and deceive her.
Music companies are also hierarchical, generally based on the biggest artist in the company, and the jargon is generally called three into one, one into one.
The meaning of three into one is very simple, for example, before Jiang Zhuo was cultivated, the company only had Jin Hexi, a second-rate artist, and could only rank at the end of the second-rate music company, and after she discovered Jiang Zhuo, the company rushed to the middle of the second-rate music company.
The rankings of Yuanda Music and Forest Music are about the same, if Jiang Zhuo is poached by Yuanda, then there will be three second-rate artists under Yuanda, and they can be directly promoted to the ranking of first-class music companies!
And the meaning of one into one is also very simple, that is, if you can have a first-class artist, then the company can be directly classified as a first-class music company.
Zhang Rong, the artist director of Yuanda Music, is not a simple person, and it may not be lucky that he was able to sign Jiang Zhuo from him first, but it is probably intentional.
It's a good trick to borrow chickens and eggs, so that we spend a lot of manpower and material resources to cultivate a second-rate artist, and when we turn around, we will be picked peaches.
Niu Li doesn't hate Zhang Rong, there is no mercy in the business field, she only blames herself for not knowing anyone at the beginning, burying mines, and finally blowing herself up.
It was still too late for the company to learn the news, Jiang Zhuo was already determined to leave, and he couldn't keep it, and the company was likely to be angry with him.
The fingers holding the coffee cup tightened, and a hint of sharpness flashed in Niu Li's eyes.
But so what? I, Niu Li, have come to this day step by step, and I have seen a lot of storms, and I will be intimidated by a poaching?
There is no shortage of artist directors who can poach corners in this world, what is lacking is Bole who can sweep the sand and dig out gold, and I, Niu Li, am Bole.
If I can pick up one Jiang Zhuo, I can pick up the second one, and if I have the ability, I will dig again, I want to see how much liquidated damages you can afford!
"Sister Li, morning!"
"Good morning, Minister!"
"Sister Li!"
……
Colleagues came to the company one after another and greeted her cordially.
Looking at her watch, at 7:55, the coffee in her hand was just bottoming out, Niu Li put the cup back on the table, sat up straight, and entered the working state.
"Sister Li. Assistant Xiao Zhang pushed the door in and placed a stack of papers in front of her.
"Did you call you yesterday?" Niu Li asked without looking up as she looked at the file.
"I called, but ......" Xiao Zhang hesitated: "But the other party hung up my phone." ”
"If you hang up, you will fight again?"
"I called, but he didn't pick up, and if he did, he directly pulled the blacklist. ”
Niu Li raised her head, frowned, and asked, "Did you say something wrong?" Why did he hang up on you?"
Xiao Zhang said with some grievances: "I said I was from a music company, so he scolded me for being a liar and told me to get out, and then hung up the phone......"
