Chapter Seventy-Two: Ordinary People
Tired of reading the comments, Zhuang Yan walked out of the study and poured himself a glass of water. Chen Jiaqing is holding the guitar and practicing softly, she sang at the Zijinhua Bar two nights ago, and her singing time was also postponed from the original seven o'clock to nine o'clock in the evening, and she didn't come back until the second half of the night as soon as she sang in the past two days.
During the meal, I also heard her mention the matter of being in the bar, and Zhuang Yan also learned that the original pillars of Zijinhua rarely come now, and even if they came, they were also singing Chen Jiaqing's previous singing. And Chen Jiaqing is now a firm foothold in the Purple Flower Bar.
Chen Jiaqing saw Zhuang Yan, stopped playing the guitar with a smile, looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "Zhuang Yan, have you been very busy these two days, and I rarely see you go out during the day." ”
Zhuang Yan looked at Chen Jiaqing and felt that she had something to say to him, he smiled and said, "It's a little busy, about the new book." ”
Chen Jiaqing nodded, and didn't ask Zhuang Yan what his new book was, but said with a smile: "Don't be too tired, especially if your body is not very good, it's okay to go out and exercise more." ”
Zhuang Yan nodded: "Well, okay, I'll go out for a walk in the future." ”
Suddenly, the conversation between the two stopped, Chen Jiaqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Zhuang Yan, I want to discuss something with you." ”
Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows, and sure enough, he had something to say to him, he walked to the sofa with a water cup and sat down, "Sister Chen, what do you want to discuss with me?"
"I want to tell you about "On the Baikal Islands". Chen Jiaqing put down the guitar and said, "Last night there was a record company from the bar, their company is quite famous in the industry, called Seabird Records, I don't know if you have heard of it?"
Zhuang Yan shook his head and said that he hadn't heard of it, Chen Jiaqing continued, "You don't usually pay attention to it, you must not have heard it, and the one who came to me at the bar was a relatively senior music producer from Seabird Records." He said that Seabird Records was very optimistic about "On the Shore of Lake Baikal" and wanted to help me make a single. ”
Probably understood, Zhuang Yan was a little puzzled: "The record company doesn't need you to sign a contract to help you release a record?"
"Of course it can't be, it's definitely going to be signed. Chen Jiaqing said, and then she explained: "But it's not a long-term contract, this time the contract is very free, Seabird is mainly responsible for helping me run the record, and then they take money from it." ”
Zhuang Yan completely understood, although he didn't know about the various forms of contracts in the entertainment industry, he also knew that Seabird Records probably signed something similar to a labor contract with Chen Jiaqing, and the main things that both parties need to perform are probably on the record "On the Shore of Lake Baikal".
As for things like single records, Zhuang Yan knows a little about the music of this world, because the copyright protection is particularly good, so today's musicians often release some eps, singles and other things, which is convenient to sing and easier to make money.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Seabird Records wants to help Chen Jia clear a single.
Zhuang Yan thought for a moment and nodded, "What do you think of yourself?"
"I think the conditions are not bad, the other party is very sincere, and the record company has always done a good job of publicity. Lin Xue, do you know, she is this company, although there are not many works, but because the company's publicity work is doing well, she is now about to enter the ranks of first-line singers. Chen Jiaqing said.
Lin Xue has some impressions of Zhuang Yan, but she hasn't heard much of her songs, which probably proves what Chen Jiaqing said, there are no works, and it all depends on packaging.
Zhuang Yan saw that Chen Jiaqing talked about these things, and there was a small flame in her eyes, and she naturally knew that she was definitely very willing to sign a contract with the Seabird Company, so he didn't give any advice, but smiled: "Since you have decided, then go and sign it." ”
Chen Jiaqing groaned again, "However, the other party said that if you want to sign a contract, you must own the copyright of "On the Shore of Lake Baikal". ”
Before Zhuang Yan could speak, Chen Jiaqing hurriedly said, "Don't worry, they will give money." ”
"It's good to give money, anyway, didn't I say it before, if someone buys it, I'll sell it, what's the difference between this and selling the song to them, and now the song is sold to someone else, or it's handed over to you to sing, isn't it good?" Zhuang Yan said with a smile.
As for how much money the other party paid, Zhuang Yan didn't ask, Chen Jiaqing would naturally help him talk about it.
Chen Jiaqing was relieved when he agreed, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll help you talk to him when I go back, don't worry, I will definitely help you get the best price, and I won't let you suffer." ”
Zhuang Yan squinted and smiled: "Then it's bothering you." ”
"What ...... say"
Ding dong.
As soon as Chen Jiaqing spoke, her mobile phone rang, picked it up from the table, and suddenly smiled: "Hey, why did you think the information, it turned out to be the news promotion of Solang.com...... The girl in the flower season committed suicide after reading "The Metamorphosis...... Now the news is getting more and more fake, and I guess what kind of hype it is. ”
Seeing this news, Chen Jiaqing teased slightly, Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows, Chen Jiaqing's reaction surprised him, he didn't expect her to think of hype for the first time.
Zhuang Yan asked tentatively: "You won't really commit suicide, will you?" ”
Chen Jiaqing smiled and waved his hand: "I don't know if anyone committed suicide, but I'm sure it didn't kill me after reading this book." You, you're still a little innocent when you just came out of society, just take Seabird Records as an example, they have done a lot of hype like this. ”
This is the second time Chen Jiaqing has said that he is simple, but this time it obviously makes Zhuang Yan feel not very good.
Zhuang Yan looked at Chen Jiaqing in a daze, she seems to have been living a lot better recently, and the baby fat that had been emaciated some time ago came out again. Although she didn't say how old she was, Zhuang Yan probably knew that she should be twenty-seven or eighteen years old.
But looking at her face now, she looks like she is twenty-three or fourteen years old at most.
Beautiful, is Zhuang Yan's impression of Chen Jiaqing all along, she is indeed beautiful, I dare not say that she is beautiful in Jinling, at least she is also a beauty in a thousand.
Gentleness is Zhuang Yan's second impression of her, although sometimes she speaks very loudly, but she is usually very gentle.
Wild is the third impression, but this impression was only seen once on the first visit to the Blue Moon Bar.
And now, Zhuang Yan has another impression of her, but this impression Zhuang Yan is not easy to describe, it is narrow and short-sighted, it seems that it can't be said, she just holds the same point of view as many ordinary people, she is just an ordinary audience who does not know the truth and comments without authorization.
But then Zhuang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, who is perfect, and who is not an ordinary person. Isn't it also a vulgar behavior to look at people with a detached posture like this?
At this time, Chen Jiaqing was also a little uncomfortable with Zhuang Yan, and said loudly: "Zhuang Yan?"
Zhuang Yan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm not very interested in this kind of news, I still have some work to do, so I won't bother you to practice." ”
Chen Jiaqing nodded and agreed, Zhuang Yan saw that she deleted the news prompt, and returned to the study with a smile.
If she had clicked on the news just now, she might have found that the author of "Metamorphosis" is also called Zhuang Yan.
