Chapter XXVII

In the end, Shang Yang and Liu Hongye reluctantly said goodbye and went back. However, before leaving, they each asked Chen Tianliao for a painting of Chen Tianliao. Chen Tianliao also generously inscribed them and gave them them. Looking at Chen Tianliao's pen walking the dragon and snake inscription, the two old men could only sigh that this child was too demonic.

After Beijing TV produced the program of the Beijing Youth Singer Competition, Huang Yi also copied a video for the first time and sent it to Chen Tianliao along with the contestants' information. At the same time, there were also managers recommended by Huang Yi to Chen Tianliao's new company.

Chen Tianliao first took a careful look at the competition, and then determined six singer candidates. After telephone contact, three candidates were identified.

The first candidate is a 22-year-old girl from the Western Regions, named Wang Yuming, who is currently studying music education at Capital Normal University. Her singing voice has a particularly strong treble penetration, very infectious, and her singing skills are very unique, and her emotional grasp of the song is also in place. This is definitely a good diva.

The second candidate is a 25-year-old male singer Zhu Wen in Shencheng, whose voice is not very recognizable, but his singing skills are very good, his interpretation of songs is relatively in place, and he is also handsome, and he can still be used as a good singer in training.

The third person is still a powerful faction, from the sea of trees in the grassland province. Coincidentally, the minority singer's name is the same as a combination of the Wa Kingdom in another time and space, but his name actually means "forest" in their national language (the word is more closely pronounced "Xu Gai", but the customary translation is "sea of trees"). But his rugged singing command is reminiscent of the desert. In this era, rugged voices were popular in folk songs, but not in popular songs. But in Chen Tianliao's view, this rough voice is more recognizable than Zhu Wen's, and with excellent singing skills, the future will be bright.

As for the candidates for the company's management recommended by Huang Yi, Chen Tianliao entrusted Su Wenhai to help investigate.

At this time, Takahara Daisuke, who had finished dealing with the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, also came to the capital as promised. He was joined by his daughter Maki Takahara and assistant Teru Maeda. Chen Tianliao was very happy when he saw the plateau, and called Huang Yi and Song Shiqing over together to wash the dust and catch the wind on the plateau in Jinjude.

The next day, Gao Yuan officially joined the A&R department of Chen Tianliao Records, becoming the first executive to arrive. Although Gao Yuan said that he would not be paid, Chen Tianliao still gave him a 1% option incentive.

The address of the company was chosen by Chen Tianliao in the office building of a factory that had moved out of the capital, and his grandfather had already taken care of everything for him, and the rent was relatively cheap. Chen Tianliao has asked people to simply renovate this office building with a total of three floors and fifteen houses. The signs of the chairman's office, the general manager's office, the A&R (artist and repertoire) department, the artist development department, the business development department, the external relations department, the legal department, the public relations department, the publicity department, the sales department and other departments are all hung up, which makes people feel standardized and atmospheric when they look at it. Although these departments are almost all empty shells without a single person. Usually, Chen Aiguo hired several retired elderly people from their factory to act as security guards to take care of the building.

Next, Chen Tianliao called the singers again and agreed to sign a contract on the weekend, and by the way, he also called Song Xianfeng and asked him to bring Song Shiqing over at that time. Song Xianfeng agreed.

The day of signing the contract came, and early in the morning, Chen Tianliao took Su Yuejiang and Chen Mei to the headquarters of Tianliao Records. Su Yuejiang came here because of her guardianship, while Chen Mei purely came to see the excitement. As soon as he saw the department signs in each room of this building, Chen Mei was very interested, and wanted Chen Tianliao to ask about the role of these departments. Chen Tianliao explained them one by one. After the explanation, Chen Mei said: "What, Xiaoliao, since you have so many departments here and still lack manpower, give me an A&!" amp; How is R's director?" Chen Tianliao gave her a blank look, but she didn't hear this.

Opening the chairman's office in the middle of the third floor, Chen Tianliao used an electric kettle to pick up a pot of water from the faucet in the room, plugged it in and boiled it. Chen Mei looked a little curious, and said, "Why do you also install a faucet here? Just to make tea?"

Chen Tianliao said: "This is a must. That is, the domestic conditions are a little simpler now, otherwise the chairman's office must be luxuriously decorated, and it must be equipped with air conditioning, large-screen color TVs and electronic computers (at this time, the name 'computer' is not popular) to facilitate office use. In addition, the office area and reception area should be separated, and there must also be a lounge and a toilet. ”

Chen Mei couldn't help but say: "Do you want to be a capitalist or an emperor!"

Chen Tianliao shrugged his shoulders and stopped teasing Chen Mei. If he wasn't born again, I'm afraid he would have thought it was a fantasy. After all, no one could have imagined that Huaguo would develop so quickly later.

The next person to come to the headquarters was Daisuke Takahara and his party. In addition to Daisuke Plateau, Mahaki Plateau Women and Assistants, there is also a young and beautiful girl. This is a high-achieving student in the Chinese language department of the Beijing Foreign Language School, Chen Tianliao used a salary of 50 yuan a day to find two girls to be the translator of Takahara Daisuke, and the two girls took shifts with each other. Su Yuejiang chatted with Gao Yuan Daisuke for a few words, after all, the language was not understood, so he just said some scenes, and did not go any further.

Next, Song Xianfeng's father and daughter also came under the guidance of the security guards.

"Aunt Su! Aunt Mei!" As soon as Song Shiqing saw Su Yuejiang and Chen Mei, she first said hello loudly, jumped into Su Yuejiang's arms with a smile, and then turned around and said to Gao Yuan and his party: "Hello Mr. Gao Yuan! Miss Gao Yuan is good! Uncle Maeda is good!" Several Japanese people also greeted her enthusiastically in Japanese language. Although the language barrier does not affect the people to release kindness to each other.

Song Xianfeng walked over and sat next to Su Yuejiang, with a little shyness on his face. Chen Mei knew that the two little guys were matching them, so he hugged Song Shiqing to his lap and said, "Come, Xiaoqing come and sit with Aunt Mei, let Aunt Mei take care of you!"

After a while, the voices of Huang Yi and Huang Gaozhi sounded outside the door. Chen Tianliao looked at his aunt, and Chen Mei obviously heard this voice, and he was also stunned. She didn't expect Chen Tianliao to invite Huang Gaozhi as well, so she turned her head to look at Chen Tianliao. Chen Tianliao smiled, then turned his head, deliberately pretending not to see his aunt's gaze. Chen Mei's teeth itched when he saw it.

Huang Gaozhi entered the door, and when he saw Chen Mei at first sight, he was also stunned, and his face involuntarily showed a complicated look. Huang Yi beside him noticed his abnormality, so he followed his eyes, and also found Chen Mei, so he nodded to Chen Mei with a smile, pulled Huang Gaozhi over, and greeted everyone one by one: "Hello Sister Su......!

Huang Gaozhi awkwardly followed behind his cousin, nodding his head towards everyone, but the rest of his eyes kept looking for Chen Mei's shadow.

There is another person who followed Huang Yi and Huang Gaozhi, and he is also an important player today - lawyer Liu Dun of Beijing Xinyuan Law Firm. He will witness the signing and provide legal services to the public.

In the midst of everyone's greetings, the signed singers also arrived one after another. Most of them brought their friends with them, but Jukai arrived alone. Every time a signed singer arrived, Chen Tianliao gave him a contract and asked him to read it while waiting for others to arrive.

Chen Tianliao's contracts for the singers drew on the entertainment contracts of the Waguo, Xiangjiang, and Baodao, and at the same time, he also made relevant legal and policy consultations with the Chinese cultural and legal circles, which is almost the most perfect singer contract in the mainland at present.

The singers who are ready to get the contract are dumbfounded after getting the contract, although they know every sentence in it, but they don't know what the legal meaning behind it is, and they are all unclear.

Of course, the remuneration given by Chen Tianliao in the contract is also extremely generous. The annual salary, as he said, ranges from 3~40,000 yuan. There are commissions for participating in performances, advertisements, etc. Of course, there are also many constraints on singers in the contract, such as maintaining public image, participating in company activities, minimum number of performances per year, and so on. But for singers of this era, they don't know what these things mean, and they all think they are simple or insignificant. Therefore, after reading the contract, they do not need a lawyer to explain, they are already willing to do so.

After everyone arrived, Chen Tianliao officially introduced his mother and sister-in-law to everyone. Because neither my mother nor my sister-in-law are involved in the management of the company, they are simply brought over. And when he introduced Daisuke Takahara, his tone was very solemn: "This old man is Mr. Daisuke Takahara, a famous musician and music professor in the Japanese country. He is now a visiting professor at the Central Conservatory of Music and the head of our company's A&R department!"

To say that the Chinese people's worship of foreigners in these years is really not covered, as soon as they heard the identity of the plateau, all the singers immediately gasped, and then bowed and worshipped. The company can have such a good person to join, so that the new singers are full of confidence in the future.

After the introduction, Chen Tianliao instructed Mr. Liu to explain the terms of the contract. In fact, those singers can understand these terms, but the problem is that they don't know anything about the operation of the modern entertainment industry - in fact, not to mention them, even the musicians in Yangcheng, who are at the forefront of reform and opening up, don't understand either. In the 90s, in another time and space, they gave up their reasonable requirements for singers' performance rights and other rights, resulting in the company losing money to singers to make records, and singers used the fame accumulated by records to make a lot of money by using performances, advertising, etc., and finally Yangcheng's leading record industry collapsed.

Now, the new singers are overjoyed with their income, and naturally they don't pay so much attention to other requirements, so they are happy to sign contracts. Song Shiqing's contract was signed by Song Xianfeng. Tianliao Records finally has a group of singers of its own!
