Chapter 39: The Millionaire
"Your album has sold millions of dollars a month, and more than 800,000 followers on Weibo, because the news exposure rate of a series of things is not a first-line artist, why doesn't she hype it up with you?"
Jin Yanqiu had a natural expression.
Speaking of this, Jin Yanqiu said: "You must know that there are also high and low levels of popularity, and you become popular by songs, talent, and healthy image, so your image is very good in the hearts of the public, and the news value and commercial value are very high." As for Li Yan, this kind of actress who became popular by selling meat, her image in the minds of the people can be imagined, so not to mention any commercial value. Don't say that she has made movies, the kind of ninth-rate movies that sell meat as a vase and can't even be in theaters, if you want to make it, I can contact you with dozens at any time. ”
After listening to Jin Yanqiu's words, Yang Yu asked blankly: "It turns out that I am so interested, so am I a first-line star now?"
"In terms of the recent news popularity, no one will object to saying that you have reached the first-line level, but if you want to say anything else, whether it is qualifications, works, commercial value, popularity, etc., you are still some distance from the first-line. The circle is still judged by honor and commercial value, if you can win a Golden Melody Award for Best Male Singer, and then find a way to make more money, it is still possible to rush to the front line in a short period of time. ”
Best Male Singer? Yang Yu didn't have to think about it to know that there was no drama at all, and couldn't help but sigh.
"How is this possible, there are several singers and queens this year. Not to mention the rest, among the male singers, Chen Zijun is enough to kill me several times, you haven't looked at the albums released by others at the beginning of the year, and now there are two songs hanging behind the public trust list, and the album sales are now seven million, I want to grab the best male singer from Chen Zijun, I'm afraid it's too difficult. ”
Jin Yanqiu said: "However, the so-called first and second lines have not been specifically defined. In the hearts of your fans, even the emperor superstar is not as good as you. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Yang Yu's aggrieved appearance and began to comfort him.
"You don't have to be too arrogant, in terms of record quality, you are even better than these so-called singers and queens, whether you can win them this year is just a matter of seniority, and you may not be able to say it in the future, they are not young after all. ”
Yang Yu is also a person who plays music, so he naturally understands what Jin Yanqiu is talking about.
Before 06 years, because of the impact of online piracy, the music market had been sluggish for a long time, and many newcomers changed careers because they couldn't get ahead, resulting in a disconnection of talents after 06.
In recent years, when the music market has picked up, these big companies have found that they can make money from the old guys who came out ten years ago, and there are very few newcomers who are welcomed by the market.
So when he proved his ability to make money, those companies would eagerly jump out to poach him, and finally let him use these powers to improve the distribution with the company.
When he was talking to Jin Yanqiu, the car arrived at the airport unconsciously, and he had a variety show to be on Suzhou Satellite TV tomorrow afternoon, and in order to prepare in advance, he would rush over today.
Because Qu Fei has had a lot of things to do recently, Jin Yanqiu won't accompany him.
Before leaving, Jin Yanqiu said to Yang Yu: "The first remuneration for endorsement has arrived, and the glasses and sports cars are only one-third, and Youdou Video has paid the full amount." ”
Jin Yanqiu said again: "Counting some of the previous announcements, plus the record company's account, this time you can take away 1.2 million, it is estimated that you will be on your card tomorrow, if you want to invest in financial management, there are special people in the company who are responsible, if you are not at ease, you can also invest yourself." ”
After Yang Yu heard the number of one million, a strange feeling came to his heart, he would become a millionaire.
He didn't know what it was like for someone else to be a millionaire, but he was unusually calm, and he didn't have the ecstasy he imagined, and everything came naturally.
The first feeling of being rich is that I remember the days when I first came to Yanjing with the band two years ago, when it was difficult to make money, and the five of us often ate the last meal without the next meal.
Everyone also fantasized in poverty about how they would spend a million if they became famous and earned, and everyone at that time expressed many wishes.
But now, when he really has a million, he finds that the familiar people around him have changed, and his companions have parted ways, and they can never go back to the old days.
Things are not people, and creation makes people, perhaps this is the case.
In this case, he felt that there was no point in thinking about it, and it was better to be better for himself now that he was rich.
Thinking of this, Yang Yu said to Jin Yanqiu: "Sister Yan, do you know any acquaintances who can help me get a driver's license, it's not good for me to go to driving school now, and it's too time-consuming." ”
Jin Yanqiu said: "Someone in the company should know, I'll go back and ask for you, but driving this thing is not just a driver's license, even if you don't go to a driving school to practice, you have to find a coach to teach you well, or someone has an accident on the road, and you are the one who suffers." ”
Yang Yu said with a look of understanding that I knew: "Don't worry, when I worked in a bar, I didn't drive without a license when I helped the boss buy goods, but I was an old driver." ”
Jin Yanqiu looked at Fang Wen, who was pushing the box towards the airport, and asked Yang Yu: "It's good that you know, how is Fang Wen's work, is she enough as an assistant?"
"Very good, serious and careful, people are also simple, she is enough for one, how many things can I do alone. ”
Yang Yu felt very good about Fang Wen, and felt that although this girl was sometimes stupid, she was very careful and arranged things in his life properly.
"That's good, you're getting more and more popular now, it's time for the team around you to prepare, Fang Wen is good to be an assistant, but she is a little inexperienced in business, I'm going to talk to Ren Qing and let her be your executive agent, what do you think?"
Jin Yanqiu has been thinking about establishing a team for Yang Yu for a day or two, after all, with the increase of Yang Yu's popularity, there will definitely be more and more things in the future, and it also needs to be handled flexibly and timely, the company has limitations in this regard after all, and Yang Yu will have a team dedicated to him sooner or later.
However, she proposed that Ren Qing was worried that Yang Yu would not agree, after all, Yang Yu's popularity is not low now, and Ren Qing is still a little shallow in his qualifications to be Yang Yu's executive broker.
"Sister Ren's work ability is good, I think she can. ”
Yang Yu didn't care about qualifications or anything, Ren Qing had followed him a few times, and he knew the roots.
After all, Jin Yanqiu still has a Qu Fei to take care of, so he can't be by his side every day, and he can't go out to activities, so he has to coordinate those trivial things with the manufacturer.
And it is also mentioned in the contract that the company will bear half of his personal team expenses, and he will only earn more in the future, and the economic aspect is not a problem at all.
After deciding on the matter, he took a plane to Jinling, and when he arrived at the hotel, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and he explained to Fang Wen what to pay attention to tomorrow, and he fell into bed and fell into his dream.
The next day, as soon as Yang Yu got up, Fang Wen brought him breakfast.
Eating a hot ready-made breakfast, he finally felt the feeling of being served, no wonder those celebrities like to bring an assistant.
Feeling the benefits of the assistant, he was very satisfied that he hadn't seen much of the market, and he was more and more pleasing to the eye when he looked at Fang Wen.
He felt that the salary of the girl's internship period was a little too low, and when he returned to Yanjing, he would mention it to Jin Yanqiu, and if it didn't work, he would end the internship period early.
He has just become a millionaire, and he has begun to expose the temperament of a wealthy nouveau riche.
Yang Yu came to Suzhou Satellite TV to participate in an entertainment program, the host Wu Zongyou is a Wanwan person, and his status in the industry is not low.
But this person doesn't have any arrogance, and he is also very good at doing things, and he is very old-fashioned in dealing with people.
After a trip to the show, he had a good chat with Wu Zongyou, and also exchanged phone calls by the way.
Hearing Yang Yu say that he was a foodie, Wu Siyou also invited him to Wanwan to play, saying that he would introduce the food there to him, to which he agreed.
The next day, exhausted, he took a plane back to Yanjing, and to his surprise, there were fans at Yanjing Airport who came to pick him up.
Although the number of people is not large, after all, it is the first time to encounter this kind of thing, and Yang Yu is still very moved to see these fans holding his name and waiting infatuately.
Excited, he helped all the fans sign up, and took a group photo by the way, and then in Fang Wen's incessant complaints, he got into the car sent by the company to pick him up and left.
As soon as she got in the car, Fang Wen complained: "Brother Yu, Sister Jin explained, you can't stay at the airport for too long, even if you sign autographs for fans, you can't stop, she said that it is easy to cause riots, and there will be a stampede." ”
Yang Yu listened, knew that he was wrong, and hurriedly apologized to the little assistant.
He understood what Jin Yanqiu meant, these fans were very fond of him, but after all, the airport was a public place with a lot of people, and if he stayed too long, it would be very easy for ordinary people to watch, and any accident would be very troublesome at that time.
As soon as he returned to the company, he found that Jin Yanqiu was not there, but met Ren Qing who was waiting for him in the office.
When Ren Qing saw Yang Yu coming back, she stood up and said, "Sister Jin has already communicated with me, from today onwards, I will be your executive agent, I hope we can cooperate well." ”
Seeing that Ren Qing still looked businesslike, Yang Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Ren, we have known each other for a few months, and now that you are a member of my team, how can you be enthusiastic." ”
After listening to this, Ren Qing squeezed out a stiff smile and said: "I'll try my best, don't worry, even if I'm not enthusiastic, I will do a good job, I don't want your trust and Sister Jin to be disappointed." ”
Ren Qing knew that if it weren't for the wishes of Jin Yanqiu and Yang Yu, the executive agent of a star of Yang Yu's level, her qualifications in the company would not have been selected at all.
Yang Yu said: "Sister Ren, don't have any pressure, just be the same as before." ”
Ren Qing took out a notebook at this time, which was full of arrangements for Yang Yu's future itinerary, which was given to her by Jin Yanqiu.
"After you finish the announcement of JS Satellite TV, there are three arrangements for the next time, there is an interview invitation on Tuesday, which is sent by an online program on Youdou Video, and the host is Li Yan, you need to decide whether to go or not. ”
"Go, you can reply to Youdou Video. ”
When Yang Yu heard Li Yan's name, he immediately thought of the blood-pumping plump figure, and touched his conscience and said that a man would fantasize about something happening with this stunner.
Ren Qing took the note and continued: "On Friday, the record company arranged a ceremony for your record platinum certification, and you need to prepare in advance. ”
When Yang Yu heard this, his face couldn't hide his joy, the record company had long said that it was arranging certification for him, and now it was finally done.
Although the music market is slowly recovering, it takes time after all, and in recent years, the physical sales have been able to reach the platinum certification, all of which are predecessors who became famous in their early years.
Since the country vigorously cracked down on online piracy in 06, only Yang Yu has won platinum sales for the newcomer's first album.
The most promising newcomer before Red Star, the album released at the beginning of the year, sales also look very good, and it seems that reaching platinum is no longer a problem.
But in the face of Yang Yu's demon who rushed out of platinum sales in January, it is still a little insufficient.
For this kind of limelight, he has never missed it.
Ren Qing finally said: "On the weekend, you will shoot two endorsement commercials, two TV commercials, and two sets of print advertisements. ”
The day after tomorrow, Yang Yu can finally go back to the apartment and sleep lazily.
Before leaving, he did not forget to explain to Ren Qing and shortened Fang Wen's internship period to one month later.
