Chapter Thirty-Six: The Fragrance of Rice

CHAPTER XXXVI

The Yuanlai Coffee Shop on Jingfu Road has always been a favorite place for nearby office workers, every afternoon or after work, there will be many people sitting in the coffee shop, ordering a cup of coffee, and then sitting for a few hours, fortunately, the time of Gongyang and Ai Yun is nine o'clock in the morning, and there are not many people in the coffee shop at this time.

When Gong Yang arrived at the coffee shop, ten minutes before the agreed nine o'clock, Gong Yang found a window seat and sat down, and not long after he sat down, a sweet-looking waiter stepped forward and asked, "Welcome, sir, what do you want to drink?"

"Two lattes, thank you"

"Please wait"

The last time Gong Yang came to this coffee shop was three years ago, also during the summer vacation, but that time it was Xie Fei's guest who seemed to celebrate that both of them were successfully admitted to the High School Affiliated to Beijing University.

After three years, when Gong Yang came back, many things had changed, the old record player that Gong Yang remembered three years ago was now replaced by a piano, at this time a middle-aged uncle was playing more melancholy blues music, and the decoration style of the coffee shop has also changed from farmhouse style to Mediterranean style, which is much simpler and more generous than before.

Not long after, Ai Yun, who was still wearing a professional OL uniform, walked into the coffee shop......

"Sister Ai, here" After Gong Yang saw Ai Yun, he immediately stood up and said hello.

Ai Yun pulled her hair behind her ears and sat opposite Gong Yang, and at the same time, the waiter brought the two lattes that Gong Yang had ordered earlier to the table.

"I've seen the video of you being interviewed before, and looking at your appearance, it shouldn't look like bragging on the Internet, right?" Ai Yun took a sip of coffee and smiled slightly.

Gong Yang shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "I didn't think so much about it when I just finished the exam, but what I said was the truth, and when the results came out, they would naturally know if I was bragging."

Ai Yun quipped, "How does it feel to be on the hot search three times a month?"

"Don't mention it, my mobile phone is about to be bombed this month, just on the way I just came by car, there was a person who called and said that he wanted to get together with me, and then I tentatively asked who he was, Sister Ai, guess what he said?"

Ai Yun smiled and shook his head.

"He said he was my classmate in kindergarten preschool, I was really confused, kindergarten preschool!! how did you say he got my phone number?"

"Hehe..."Ai Yun laughed, and after a pause, he explained, "Once a person becomes famous, these are inevitable, but after signing a contract with a brokerage company, the company will have people from the public relations department to help the artist deal with this matter." ”

Gong Yang smiled generously and said, "Sister Ai, don't go around the bend with me, I know what you mean, I have also received calls from some entertainment brokerage companies in the past few days, all of them are looking for me to sign a contract, but I have refused, Sister Ai, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"It's because I promised Sister Ai before, I only have three people who can't live up to it, one is a family member, one is a friend, and the other is... Beauty, Sister Ai, you are so beautiful, I can't miss the appointment if you say anything. ”

Ai Yun's smile became sweeter, "I didn't see you so poor before, could it be that I lost my eyes?"

"Haha, Sister Ai, there are still many things you haven't seen?"

"Okay, okay, then I won't go around the corner, you can also give me an accurate answer, do you sign it or not?"

"I want to see how many ways to sign a contract before I think about which contract to sign."

Ai Yun, who had been prepared for a long time, took out a three-point contract from his satchel and put them in front of Gong Yang to explain, "This is a full contract, and the contract expires between three and ten years, and before the contract expires, all the affairs of the artist, such as appearing on shows, releasing records, concerts, and making advertising films, must be contracted to the company." The second is a partial contract, that is, the artist can choose which right to contract to the company, and what is other than this right still belongs to the artist. For example, after outsourcing the music record to the company, the artist can still choose to take over some activities such as commercials by himself. The third type is the agency contract, all the authority of the artist belongs to the artist himself, and the company only has the agency right. ”

Gong Yang asked, "Will there be any difference between these three in terms of treatment?"

"Compared with the latter two, the company is more willing to praise people who have signed a long-term contract, that is to say, if there are any programs, TV, or movie invitations, the company will first consider recommending artists who have signed a long-term contract, so you should understand, right?"

Gong Yang nodded, thought about it for a while, and finally said, "Then if I sign an agency contract and promise not to sign a contract and not cooperate with other brokerage companies, what treatment can Huayi Company give me?"

Ai Yun's eyes lit up, and after a pause, he said, "Because I have never encountered this situation you said before, so you can wait for a while, and wait for me to call and ask before answering you, okay?"

"Of course"

With that, Ai Yun walked out of the coffee shop alone and dialed Wang Zhongcheng, the president of Huayi Company, while Gong Yang slowly tasted the slightly bitter coffee......

Five minutes later, Ai Yun sat back in his position, did not twist, and said directly, "The company responded that as long as you promise not to sign a contract and not cooperate with other brokerage companies, the company can give you the treatment of an all-time artist, but the premise is that you must produce another song comparable to "Sunny Day". ”

Just when Gong Yang was about to talk......

"Exciting Mission: Complete the contract and sing a new single, Mission time: one day, Mission reward: 100 points"

Gong Yang was about to blurt out the words, but immediately swallowed them back.

"They want a song that can be compared to "Sunny Day"? Mr. Cang, do you still have any 'goods'?"

"Do you want to activate the music store?"

"Do you want points?"

"Not required"

"So what are you waiting for, activate it quickly"

"Ding, activation successful"

As soon as the voice fell, Gong Yang seemed to have more pictures in his mind, just like the jukebox homepage in KTV, which was dazzling, making Gong Yang overwhelmed.

"Previous Golden Melody Awards?"I Want to Have a Home"?"??......?

"These are all the winning tracks of the Golden Melody Award in the world where the system is hosted"

"In that case, which song can be compared to "Sunny Day"?"

"It's all right, but according to the master's current voice system, I recommend "Blue and White Porcelain" or "Rice Fragrance"

"Oh"

Ai Yun frowned and looked at Gong Yang who seemed to be in a daze, and after a long time, he didn't see Gong Yang react, so he stretched out his hand and waved in front of Gong Yang's eyes and shouted, "Gong Yang, how are you thinking about it?"

Gong Yang came back to his senses and replied, "Ah, oh, it's okay to release another song, but if it can be compared to "Sunny Day", I don't know."

"Well... Can you record a demo for me?"

"No problem, it's okay now"

"Now?" Ai Yun looked confused.

"Hmm"

At the same time, Gong Yang's mind ......

"Please confirm whether you want to redeem "Daoxiang"?"

Gong Yang glanced at the piano placed in the corner, and asked in his heart, "Teacher Cang, Teacher Cang, the junior musical talent I exchanged last time does not include playing the piano? I took a piano training class for half a year when I was a child, and I still remember the general technique, I want to use the piano to accompani, okay?"

"Once the song is redeemed, everything related to the song is copied to the owner's mind at the same time, including the piano music. In addition, the primary musical talent includes instrument proficiency, so the master can currently use any instrument to accompaniment, although it has not yet been upgraded to the advanced level, but it has also reached the average master level. ”

"I'm relieved, let's redeem it."

"Ding, the redemption of "Daoxiang" is successful!"
