Chapter 319: Zhou Yan's troubles
After listening to Ma Qingquan's proud story, Meng Wentian was speechless: he couldn't imagine that he had become a demon among his classmates.
Demons are demons, it's only been so many days anyway, as long as their grades can be improved a little.
In his opinion, there are not many students in this class who really like to make trouble, only seven or eight, if you dig away Ren Ziqiang and a few of his horses, there are basically no disobedient children. He is so fierce, what he can restrain is Ren Ziqiang and his horses, and it will not cause too many psychological shadows to others, even if there is a shadow, it will slowly dissipate with the graduation of high school, and everyone will go their separate ways in the future, who still remembers whom.
Thinking about it like this, Meng Wentian was at ease.
Ma Qingquan asked, "Wen Tian, do you have anything to do on Saturday? Come and sit in the classroom for a while, many students in the class still want you to come and see them." ”
Because it is a graduating class, they also attend classes on Saturdays and even study on Sunday mornings.
Meng Wentian said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I have something to do this Saturday this week, and I have to go to the provincial capital." ”
It's not that he lied to Teacher Ma in order not to go to school, it's that he really plans to go to the provincial capital: because something happened to Grandpa Yue Mengjie, she doesn't have much energy to focus on the decoration of the building, she can't wait to complete the decoration bidding for the building in the past two days, and the rest of the decoration really doesn't have time to take care of it, so it can only be stared at by Meng Wentian's cousin and Luo Caien, and many things naturally need Meng Wentian to make decisions.
Ma Qingquan sighed in disappointment and didn't say anything more.
When Meng Wentian and Ma Qingquan were talking, far away at the headquarters of Tianji Media Company in Beijing, Zhou Yan pushed the door and walked into an office, threw himself on the sofa very tiredly, and looked at his agent, who was also his cousin Zhou Mei, with a sad face.
Zhou Mei also looked depressed and asked, "Brother, is it really not good?" As she spoke, she picked up Zhou Yan's thermos cup and handed it to him gently, "There is no good song?"
Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "No." There is no new song that can match "The Most Dazzling National Style" and "A Fire in Winter", and those songs are not on the same level as these two songs at all!"
Zhou Mei asked, "What do they say, Mr. Zhang?"
Zhou Yan said bitterly: "Zhang Huicheng said that it is not recommended to make an ordinary album, and still suggests that I release another single album." ”
"Ahh ”
Zhou Yan shook his head and said: "Shu Heng also said that if the other eleven songs are put together with these two songs, the sales will definitely not be as good as the single album, and when the time comes, it will bring out that my songs are not good, others will say that my level has not improved, but that my lackey 1 luck happened to encounter a good song, and even this album may drag down "A Fire in Winter", so that this good song will not become popular." ”
Zhou Mei let out an "oh", nodded in agreement, and said, "Their concerns are also reasonable. If the other eleven songs are not good, only these two songs are good, no matter how good they are, people will not say hello, and they may even say that you are a liar, using these two songs as a cover to trick them into buying the album. It's really better to only release a single album with the song "A Fire in Winter". ”
Zhou Yan used his hand as a comb, combed his hair vigorously, and said: "But I only release a single album, how can I gain fame? People will still say that I, Zhou Yan, can only sing one song or two songs." ”
Zhou Mei smiled bitterly: "It's really a success, and Xiao He is also a failure." Who knew that a song "The Most Dazzling National Style" would put you on the fire and roast. ”
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Yes, I don't know if "The Most Dazzling National Style" has brought me a good thing or a bad thing. ”
If their words are listened to by outsiders, they will definitely not be taken seriously, some people will say that they are hypocritical, and some people will even scold them for not knowing what to do. You must know that "The Most Dazzling National Style" has become popular all over the country, and his single album has sold out of stock, how can you say that you don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing? Even if you are still the same as the original after this song is popular, then at least you have made money from this single album sale.
But if an insider listens to it, he will definitely nod silently: Zhou Yan was originally a famous singer, but now he is going downhill, and suddenly there is a good song that makes many people refreshed, and those fans who have always liked him are naturally rejoicing, thinking that he has a second spring, thinking that he will fly again from now on, and the fans' appetite will inevitably be adjusted.
However, if his subsequent songs still do not improve and are still not good, then those fans whose appetites have been stirred up will be greatly disappointed, and perhaps the fans who can still be with him for a while and expect him to get better will leave their hands, and there may be no hope of improving their fame from now on.
Now the songs that Zhou Yan tried to sing are all new songs collected by Tianji Media for him, and he was going to release a new album this year, and the company has been preparing for this for a long time, and the boss Zhang Huicheng also personally gave a production fund of one million yuan for this album, which is one of the company's most high-end projects. For this reason, the company's executives, including Zhang Huicheng, have been questioned by many people, and the company's employees and even people outside have discussed it, saying that the company is simply a waste of money, treating an outdated singer as a baby, suppressing the growth of other singers, and the CEOs are a group of fools!
But Zhang Huicheng and other executives were still unmoved, and a special person was responsible for the preparation of this album, and selected and selected from the songs collected from all over the country, and the best of the best. Although it can't be said to be one in a million, it is definitely more than one in a hundred.
Before the appearance of "The Most Dazzling National Style", the preparatory team had already selected twelve songs, and after "The Most Dazzling National Style" and "A Fire in Winter" appeared, they cut two of them and added these two songs.
However, after Zhou Yan auditioned, he found that the ten songs were simply rubbish, and they were too different from these two songs to be used at all. Not only Zhou Yan felt this way, but other people also felt this way, which caused the people in the preparatory team to have no confidence to get it down, and felt that if these ten songs were forcibly added, it would be better to release a separate single album - "A Fire in Winter".
If it's an ordinary singer, it's nothing, and some singers rely on a few songs to survive in the music world in their lifetime. But how could Zhou Yan and the company's top management want to release only one single album again? Doesn't this show the world that Tianji Media is too unconfident and too weak? A powerful singer only dares to release a single album again and again to test the market. Tianji Media, as a well-known large company in the country, didn't just sign him to support Zhou Yan, but to make money!
So now the company's senior management is worried, and Zhou Yan himself is also worried.
Seeing Zhou Yan burying her head in drinking water, Zhou Mei was also silent.
I don't know how long it has passed, Zhou Mei couldn't help but say, "Brother, do you want that kid to create a few more songs?"
Zhou Yan smiled bitterly: "Do you think he Meng Wentian is an immortal, he has already created two songs this year, how can he still create new songs, and you still want him to create a few songs? Such a fast speed, even if he really creates it, it is rubbish, maybe it is not as good as these songs we have collected now." ”
Zhou Mei called Meng Wentian a kid, but Zhou Yan didn't, he still respected Meng Wentian very much and appreciated his talent.
Zhou Mei thought for a while and said, "Brother, could it be that your appetite has been raised by him, so he looks down on the other ten songs? After all, these songs are the best of the best, and the selected ones are all high-quality, how can they be so unbearable as you think? Why don't you record them a few more times and release them on a small scale, maybe other people don't think so? Maybe you think it's not good, and others think it's not good?"
Zhou Yan drank the water in the cup in one gulp, got up from the sofa, then took a deep breath and walked back and forth in the lounge, while saying, "Maybe you're right, we've all been mouthed out by his songs." If you really want to publish it, maybe everyone will like it. Why don't I persuade them to give it a try?"
Hearing Zhou Yan say this, Zhou Mei suffered from gains and losses again, because she knew that Zhou Yan really couldn't afford to fail again, and if this album failed, it would be better not to release it. It is enough to take the single album "The Most Dazzling National Style" to a new level.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhou Yan sighed again and said, "Alas, you're also embarrassed, right?"
Zhou Mei smiled apologetically, but her laughter was more ugly than crying.
After a while, Zhou Mei came up with an idea and said: "Brother, why don't we solicit new songs again, okay? Now you are different from before, with the foundation of "The Most Dazzling National Style", those top producers and songwriters in the circle must have a new view of you, and those authors who were unwilling to write new songs and compose new songs for you before may change their minds." It's a big deal, we took all the money from this single album and used it as remuneration. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Mei suddenly smiled and said: "Hehe, this time, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Shu regretted that they died, and they signed that kind of sharing contract with that kid, and he took one-eighth of the profit alone." I estimate that the total sales will be over a million tonight. The remaining weeks are when he makes a lot of money, and I estimate that this time the total sales will be more than 1.8 million, more than they expected to be 1.5 million. ”
Zhou Yan also smiled and said, "Hehe, I really don't know where Mr. Meng's self-confidence comes from, he concluded that the sales volume exceeded one million at that time. …… Or I'll call him and ask him if he still has a song in hand, maybe he still has a song he wrote before. ”
Zhou Mei smiled: "Brother, when I said he could create, you said he couldn't." Now I don't have hope for him, but you say he might. You're specifically against me, aren't you?...... Otherwise, I'll make this call. I'm your agent, and whatever he says, it doesn't matter. You have to call him, and if he refuses, he may feel guilty about you. As long as he has a pimple in his heart, it will not be easy for you to deal with him in the future. ”
