Chapter 388: Job-hopping
The decoration of Jing Coffee is very simple, but the place is open, and there is an L-shaped bend in the back hall, but the depth of the bend is darker, so even in the daytime, a small yellow wall lamp is still warm and bright, at this time it is close to dinner time, and the guests gradually increase, and several couples sit far away in the wall booth in the depths of the store, intending to talk intimately.
Hu Yiting Tong Mu Yuan Luli and the three of them chose the sunny place by the window at the door because they had children, and Dou Shicheng chose the position next to the door, which is generally the last choice, and no one will choose here before the store is full.
The stereo in the store was turned on very low, and after playing a song of Faye Wong's "I do", Tong Mu's new album suddenly began to play. Customers listened attentively and listened attentively, and from time to time people around them asked, "Who sang this song?" At this time, the people around him will tell him, "Tong Mu, don't you know? "Oh. ”
As the song "Is There a Song That Reminds You of Me" sounded, Yuan Luli put down the CD in her hand, looked up and asked Hu Yiting with a smile: "Is there a song that reminds you of Aunt Yuan?"
Hu Yiting and Tong Mu both laughed when they heard this, and Nan Nan also laughed.
Hu Yiting said with a smile: "Every song you sing is good, I am your fan, and I can think of you when I hear any song." ”
Yuan Luli said with a smile: "I'm going to release a new album in the second half of the year, and the song "Into the New Era" you gave me is the theme song, and your teacher Yan also plans to release an album in the second half of the year, which includes the song "When That Day Comes" you wrote, and your teacher Yin will release an album at the end of the year at the latest, so use your song "Bless the Motherland" as the theme. ”
Hu Yiting said with a smile: "I'm so honored, the three top singers are waiting for me alone, is this blessing still small?"
Yuan Luli couldn't hold back her laughter: "Hahaha, you are a white face sucker in "Teahouse", Hu Yiting, your mouth is quite poor. ”
Hu Yiting said with a smile: "Sometimes I'm not big or small, you can bear with me." ”
Yuan Luli smiled: "It's good, why are you restrained, I have to thank you for giving me such a good song." ”
Hu Yiting said: "Didn't you already invite me to dinner, don't owe me anything, in the future, if you have a good song, I will return it to you." ”
Yuan Luli nodded happily: "Okay, it's decided, I can't sing the popular ones, if you want a new main theme work, give it to me, right away." That song "Into the New Era" is so good, you can't give it to others if there is such a good song. ”
Hu Yiting said with a smile: "That's natural, you are so good to our children, I can't eat inside and out." ”
Yuan Luli said with a smile: "I have to say this, I am happy to be good to Tong Mu, it doesn't matter if I ask you to sing, if you have time, help me write two songs, don't take it seriously, I know that you are busy designing those chips all day long, that is a big deal, you can't delay." ”
Hu Yiting nodded: "The main thing is that I have no professional study of music, I rely on inspiration to hum, it is rare to piece together one or two songs that are all pop songs, it is too difficult to match your soprano national singing style, then you have to master lyrics and composition." ”
Yuan Luli said: "It's simple, I'll give you a few books and some tapes of ethnic singing when I go back, you can listen to it when you have time, and be familiar with it." Anyway, I've never seen anyone who can hum so many good songs, really, you're the first. ”
Hu Yiting said with a smile: "You are too exalted to me, then I will study hard and improve my knowledge level when I go back." ”
Yuan Luli said again: "The main theme song you wrote is really good, you should write more." ”
As he spoke, he asked Tong Mu again: "Tong Mu, how is your transfer?" Have you told Professor Luo who took you?"
Tong Mu reported: "I went back last time to tell Professor Luo, and he agreed, let me study hard with you." ”
Yuan Luli nodded: "I'm going back to Beidu next month, there is a performance task in the regiment, you come to live with me when you come back, I will take you to the army to perform, and then help you tutor, in short, this matter has to be done as soon as possible, and you will be able to enroll in the second half of the year." ”
Tong Mu flashed his big eyes and asked, "Go down to the army to perform, Aunt Yuan, do you want me to join the army?"
Yuan Luli smiled: "Are you willing?"
Tong Mu looked at Hu Yiting, bit his lip and said, "I listen to you." ”
Yuan Luli said with a smile: "Teasing you, now the troupe's condolence performances pay attention to diversified forms, and often bring some pop singers or sketch actors together, and there are performance fees, although it is not much, but let's go around together, isn't it very happy? ”
Tong Mu nodded happily: "Well, I'll go." ”
Yuan Luli said with a smile: "If you really want to join the army, you can be admitted to the People's Liberation Army Art Academy, but the management of the military academy is relatively strict, and it is more troublesome for students to participate in commercial performances, you are so popular now, are you willing to give up?"
Tong Mu winked mischievously: "Then I'll take the China Conservatory of Music." ”
Yuan Luli nodded: "Yes, it's the same when it comes out, if you want to enter the army in the future, it won't hinder you, I remember you said that your mother used to dance ballet in the army's art troupe, so you should be no stranger to the army." ”
Tong Mu was stunned: "Well, it's okay. ”
Yuan Luli smiled: "You are in such a good figure, you must follow your mother." In short, this matter should be done quickly, I will take you to interview and meet two teachers in June, you are a transfer student should be easier to do than the fresh candidates, the artistic level is enough, for students who have a certain artistic reputation in the society, the school is also more welcome. ”
Tong Mu said: "Thank you Aunt Yuan, I will work hard to get in." ”
Yuan Luli nodded, "Yes." ”
Tong Mu continued: "But now there are three companies called by EMI, Polygram, and Sony, and my agent and music director, Mr. Kong Jingkong, and they all said that they wanted to sign me, and the salary was very good, the highest was Baidai, saying that 12 million Hong Kong dollars a year, Polygram gave 1 million US dollars, and Sony was 20 million New Taiwan dollars, about 6 million yuan.
Mr. Kong asked me to think about it, saying that large companies have high incomes, and in addition, the publicity radiates to the whole of Asia. But I can't make up my mind now, I think the salary is quite high, but I am now in Shenzhen Audiovisual and I am not short of money, and the company plans to release a new album for me, and then I will open a national tour, saying that like Faye Wong, 24 shows a year, and all the big cities in the country, including Hong Kong and Taipei. ”
Yuan Luli was surprised: "This is a big deal, it is related to your future development, why didn't you say it earlier, you have to think about it, although I am not a pop singer, but I know a lot of pop singers, they say that whether a commercial singer is signed is related to the future development, and the packaging and publicity efforts of each company are different." ”
Tong Mu looked at Hu Yiting: "What do you say?"
Hu Yiting scratched his head and said with a smile: "I'm a blind cat, but the three companies you said are quite big, I suggest you choose the most expensive sign, the more people are willing to spend money on you, the more optimistic they must be about you." ”
Tong Mu asked: "Then I won't stay here in Shenzhen?"
Hu Yiting: "Your labor contract with Shenzhen Audiovisual is only worth a few dollars, and when I took you to sign the contract, I didn't stipulate liquidated damages, and I didn't even have a formal establishment, which is considered a contract worker, and it is not binding on job hopping." ”
Tong Mu said weakly: "You forgot, before the Spring Festival Gala, the publishing house transferred me to the official establishment and increased my salary, I am now an employee of Shenzhen Film and Television Group, I remember that there are 500,000 liquidated damages, a five-year contract." ”
Hu Yiting frowned: "I don't remember, did you tell me? ”
Tong Mu stuck out his tongue: "Didn't I tell you?"
Hu Yiting frowned and said, "You didn't say it." ”
Tong Mu said unreasonably: "I must have said that you forgot." ”
Hu Yiting was silent.
Yuan Luli said with a smile: "Since people want to sign you, they will help you pay liquidated damages, and more than 10 million wages have been paid to you, can't you afford this liquidated damages?" When the time comes, it will definitely be album after album, and the concert will be open continuously, and the money will be a lot of money, but in this way, you will not have time to go to school. ”
Hu Yiting nodded in agreement with Yuan Luli's words, and said to Tong Mu: "You decide for yourself, I can't make up my mind for you." ”
Tong Mu nodded: "Then I'll think about it." ”
Yuan Luli thought for a while: "Your situation is special, I will say hello to the school, if you are really busy with the performance, you can simply take a year off to study, the tour is not every year, even if you are a famous singer, it will only be held once in three or five years, and the school will not stop it, who doesn't want their students to develop better." ”
Tong Mu said happily: "Thank you, Aunt Yuan." Director Kong said that the reason why these record companies are in a hurry to sign me now is to take advantage of the popularity of my first two albums, release a few new albums immediately after signing, and then start a concert tour. ”
Yuan Luli nodded: "I think, if you have the conditions, you can get a production company by yourself and sign a contract with the other party in the name of the production company, so that you can control your own music style." ”
The boy asked, "What's going on?"
Yuan Luli said with a smile: "I heard that many famous singers in Europe, America and Japan are in this model, signing contracts with record companies in the name of production companies or agent companies, and holding the production rights of records and the decision of performances in their hands, so that they can control the quality and style of their records, so that they will not be forced to sing some bad songs and saliva songs by the record company, or be forced to transform, sing some songs that do not match their style, or wear some clothes they don't like at the concert, take any sexy routes and other performances." ”
Hu Yiting nodded: "Aunt Yuan is well-informed, I think this method is good, Tong Mu, you go back to Director Kong to discuss, ask him if he is willing to go to the sea, let him be the director of the production company for you, and sign a contract with the record company in the name of the production company." ”
Tong Mu said happily: "Well, thanks to Aunt Yuan for helping me find a way, I can't think of such a good idea myself, Director Kong will definitely agree, he told me before, he is willing to go with me when I change jobs." ”
Yuan Luli said with a smile: "But I don't know how to operate specifically, this system has been operated abroad for many years, and I have rich experience, I suggest that you let Director Kong hire an operation team from Hong Kong to learn from experience, as well as the establishment of an agent team and a producer team, how to operate, these are not simple, in short, step by step." ”
