Chapter 33: Ye Chen

The singing sounded in the People's Square, either loud, low, cheerful, or sad, originally hundreds of people signed up, but before that, more than half had been screened out, and only sixteen people remained.

Among the sixteen people, only the top three can be qualified to sign a contract with Asuka Records, and will be rewarded with 30,000, 20,000 and 10,000 yuan respectively, and the rest of the contestants will each have a participation prize of 1,000 yuan, with a total prize of 73,000 yuan!

This money was unimaginable to Jiang Li before, but now he easily threw it out, and the actual investment was far more than that, but he thought it was worth it.

Through this campaign, the three signed parties will enter the sight of the whole city through Jiangcheng media, and then strike while the iron is hot and with a little packaging, they can launch their song albums, and the effect must be good.

Jiang Li couldn't help but think of a record that Asuka had launched before, several cover songs with the complete MV of "Big City Little Love", with the company's current fame, zuihou only sold 60,000 copies, and the net profit was less than 400,000, compared with the sales performance of "Jiangcheng June Rain", it can only be said that it is a world of difference.

Therefore, it is indispensable to build momentum, after all, Nokka's record company has not grown strong enough to expect others to take the initiative to pay attention, but must attract attention.

In addition, the key is to have a selling point, the quality of the record itself is excellent, Asuka can't rely on him alone to fight the world, it's time to train Asuka's team, this selection tends to be singing talent, if you can achieve the desired effect, you can play the genre of music in the future The selection competition.

Hopefully this result won't disappoint him.

"Boss, aren't you tired from standing all the time? Tang Shishi tugged at Jiang Li's sleeve, scooped a spoonful of ice cream and handed it to his mouth.

"Uh......" To be honest, Jiang Li doesn't like to eat sweets, but since Tang Shishi has done this, it can only be disrespectful.

Tang Shishi smiled contentedly, and suddenly said faintly: "Silly Li, do you think we don't look like we're dating?"

"Dating?I'm really sorry, but if the three of them count......" Ai Wenjing's voice came from behind her, Tang Shishi's cheeks flushed, and she snorted softly.

Ai Wenjing sat down beside Jiang Li, gathered the naughty green silk on her sideburns, and said meaningfully: "It seems that I came at the wrong time, will it disturb you." ”

"No, no, there is no such thing, okay, let's take this game seriously, after all, it took me...... We have so much money. Jiang Li changed the subject.

"Hmph, major shareholder, anyway, even if you lose money, you still have the lion's share, so I don't bother to care. Tang Shishi seemed to be dissatisfied.

Jiang Li coughed dryly, turned his head, looked out the window, and saw a sweet-looking and plainly dressed girl walking on the stage, and it could be seen from her behavior that the other party was nervous.

"Hello everyone, I...... I'm the No. 8 contestant, Ye Chen, and the song I brought to you is...... Big city and little love ......"

The first few sentences were a little out of tune because of nervousness, but soon, Ye Chen entered the state of singing, but his voice showed the hoarse vicissitudes that should not be seen at this age, which invisibly destroyed the artistic conception of "Big City Little Love", and inevitably produced a sense of disobedience, many judges frowned, and Jiang Li, who was familiar with "Big City Little Love" to the bone, knew that the other party actually grasped the pulse of the song.

It's just that Ye Chen's voice determines that she is not suitable for singing songs like "Big City Little Love", which is essentially beautiful and warm, and she should choose a more poignant and sad type.

"Look, someone is singing your song again, this is the third one, I guess everyone knows that you are the big proprietor of Asuka, so I came to please you. Tang Shishi grinned.

Tang Shishi's words reminded Jiang Li that this should be the reason why Ye Chen chose "Big City and Little Love", which was not suitable for her.

"It's just that, compared to the first two, I always feel that she sings ...... It's a little weird......" Ai Wenjing said thoughtfully, unsure.

In the first round of competition, Ye Chen barely advanced, and then she miscalculated again and chose Jiang Li's "June Rain", but finally failed to enter the semifinals.

Standing on the stage, Ye Chen's lonely figure was like a leaf falling from the sky, alone, lonely and lonely.

Jiang was touched by the softness of his bottom, and he thought of a person, and when the characteristics of the two voices gradually overlapped, he suddenly got up and made an important decision.

"Silly away, you ......"

"I've got something going on, I'll be right back. ”

After that, Jiang Li left his seat and walked outside quickly, Tang Shishi just wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Ai Wenjing, she shook her head, and said calmly: "You have to believe in Jiang Li and give him space, otherwise you will only lose him." ”

Tang Shishi's eyes trembled slightly, bit her lip, and sat back in the chair.

Ye Chen took a thousand yuan from the staff, lowered her head, and walked through the lively streets, although there were people coming and going, and there was a lot of traffic, she seemed so lonely.

At the bus stop, a No. 9 bus slowly stopped, and Ye Chen reluctantly glanced at the square across the road, the crowded square, and the stage of fierce competition, all of which had nothing to do with her.

She was about to get into the car when she heard a quick shout.

"Ye Chen!"

Ye Chen will never forget this call to change her fate, and it will echo in her mind countless times, bringing her hope and liliang, and awakening her courage and talent.

The No. 9 car started and drove away slowly, Ye Chen stood in place, staring blankly at the panting figure in front of him, wearing a wide sunhat, covering nearly half of his face.

Jiang Li is also somewhat famous in Jiangcheng, and he was also exposed in "June Rain in Jiangcheng", which is a measure that has to be taken, so as not to be easily recognized and cause trouble.

"How do you ...... Will you know my name?" Ye Chen muttered, she couldn't remember where she had seen this person.

"This is not the place to talk, come with me. Jiang Li couldn't help but say that she took the other party's slender hand, although it was a hot summer, her hand was as cold as spring water, and she felt a feeling of relaxation and joy to the touch.

"Hey......" Ye Chen was suddenly held by a stranger, and couldn't help but exclaim, if it had been placed before, she would definitely have thrown it away without hesitation, but this time she didn't do that, the other party's tone was very sincere, his eyes were clear, he was still a teenager who seemed to be younger than her, no matter how he thought about it, he shouldn't think anything wrong about her.

Jiang Li dragged Ye Chen all the way back to the store, Tang Shishi was very surprised when she saw this scene, but Ai Wenjing took a sip of tea, obviously expected.

"Sit down," Jiang Li let go of the other party's jade hand and said with a smile, "I just offended, and I hope to forgive me." ”

"No, it doesn't matter," Ye Chen waved his hand again and again, hesitated for a moment, and instead of sitting down, he said, "Excuse me, what are you looking for me?"

"Are you in a hurry? If you're not in a hurry, it's better to sit down and talk, let me introduce you, the one next to me is Ai Wenjing, the one on your side is Tang Shishi, and I'm Jiang Li. ”

"Jiang Li, this name seems a little familiar, that, ah! are you ......?"

"Shhhhh

"Are you the Jiang Li who sang "June Rain" and "Big City Little Love"?" Ye Chen sat down, leaned down slightly, and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Li nodded, and couldn't help but say curiously: "Since you are singing all my songs, haven't you ever bought the record of "June Rain in Jiangcheng"? ”

"I ......" Ye Chen's face turned red, and he said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, my friend lent it to me, I don't know much about the rest, what if...... No, I'll buy it right away when I get back. ”

"That's not necessary, and even if you want to buy it now, you can't buy it, because it's out of print. ”

Ye Chen opened his mouth suddenly, not knowing what to say.

"You...... Are there any difficulties, such as economic ......?" Jiang Li asked tentatively.

Seeing Ye Chen's clothes up close, you can find that there are a lot of patches, which are definitely rare in this year, not to mention that they are still worn when participating in the competition, which can only show that the other party's family economy has been strapped to a certain extent.

Jiang Li's words undoubtedly stabbed Ye Chen's sore spot, her eyes darkened, she lowered her head, and put her legs together in a cramped and uneasy manner, her body trembling slightly.

"Actually, I chased you back because I wanted to sign you on behalf of Asuka Records, so the necessary understanding and mutual trust are the foundation, what do you say?"

Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and the sudden surprise made her head go blank for a short time, and after coming back to her senses, she still couldn't believe it.

"Really?"

"Of course, it's true. ”

Ye Chen was encouraged by Jiang Li's blazing eyes, and finally mustered up the courage to talk about the family situation.

It turned out that Ye Chen's parents were divorced, she lived with her mother, but her mother unfortunately suffered from cancer and was hospitalized, because she had no money for surgery, she could only use drugs to stifle the condition, Ye Chen dropped out of school, and worked hard to maintain it by working and selling her belongings, but it was also to the limit, at this time she heard from her former friend that she could get up to 30,000 yuan in prize money to participate in the Flying Bird Singer Competition, and at the same time, if she entered the top three and got the opportunity to sign a contract, she would definitely not worry about money in the future, she was very happy, so she came here to give it a try.

This story sounds very bloody at first glance, like a plot in an eight-o'clock TV series, but the facts are the facts, and there is nothing bloody about it.

The only thing that needs to be confirmed is authenticity.

Jiang Li believed this story, because the other party's eyes, expressions, and voice told him that it was true, that he had been reborn, so he had a maturity and calmness that did not match his peers, and the other party was the same, and an unusual experience made her such a trait.

"Well, if you can sign me, I will work hard outside of my time to take care of my mother, so as not to cause you trouble or drag you down. ”

Jiang Li smiled and said meaningfully: "A right person, a right song, is enough." ”

The other three were all confused, only Jiang Li knew that the girl named Ye Chen in front of him was the best candidate to reproduce the singer's songs in his previous life.
