Chapter 141: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat
And there's more!
Wen Zhiyuan almost smashed the mineral water bottle in his hand towards the door - let Lao Tzu be quiet, okay?
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Please come in." ”
Ever since his ass sat in this position, Wen Zhiyuan felt that he had endured being a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, with a group of mothers-in-law and uncles pointing fingers, and a group of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals acting on their own, and he was caught in the middle and angry.
If you can live until now, your blood vessels have not exploded, and you must have burned 30,000 catties of incense in your previous life!
The door was gently pushed open, and a thin middle-aged man walked in with a girl in a ponytail.
"Hello, Director Wen"
The middle-aged man nodded in greeting when he came in, with a flattering smile on his black face wrinkled into an orange peel.
The girl who followed him bowed at the same time: "Director Wen, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”
Seeing that it was these two instead of the original two masters, Wen Zhiyuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
He stretched out his hand and pressed it twice, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, you can sit down, there is water in the refrigerator and take it yourself." ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Thank you!"
He quickly walked over and opened the refrigerator in the corner and took out two bottles of cold mineral water.
One bottle was sent to Wen Zhiyuan's table first, and the other bottle was handed to the ponytail girl who had just sat down.
Everyone knows that Wen Zhiyuan likes to drink chilled mineral water, and the bottle he is holding in his hand has been drunk.
The other party's respect made Wen Zhiyuan smile sincerely.
This middle-aged man's name is Li Zhigao, and he is an agent who is a halfway monk under him.
Among the many brokers of EMI Brokerage Company, Li Zhigao belongs to the lowest kind, he has not been in the industry for a long time, and he has no network resources in the circle, so he can only bring very ordinary newcomers.
The ponytail girl he brought was called Tang Qiaoqiao. is 19 years old this year, 1.65 meters tall, goose egg face and big eyes, and his appearance is not bad, and he is one of the top ten contestants in a talent show last year.
After the Baidai agency signed her, the training was launched in just over half a year, and so far it is just a small artist who has brushed up on small notices. Walking down the street and shouting her name loudly, few people know.
In recent years, there have been too many artists who have come out through the draft, except for a few lucky ones, most of them are similar to Tang Qiaoqiao, and even many have quit the entertainment industry and returned to their original lives.
The competition in this line is too fierce!
Tang Qiaoqiao is an insignificant small role among the artists who debuted in the company, so he left it to Li Zhigao to bring.
Wen Zhiyuan still has a good impression of Li Zhigao, although the other party's ability is not very good, but he respects himself very much, and he is willing to work hard.
If his subordinates are all people like Li Zhigao. Then he will be able to sit comfortably.
It is precisely because of this reason that under the right circumstances, Wen Zhiyuan is willing to take care of the other party a little.
He asked with a pleasant face, "Lao Li, what is the matter with you bringing Qiaoqiao here?"
Li Zhigao sat on the sofa with half his buttocks, straightened his waist and asked cautiously, "Director Wen, I heard that you are going to invite Lu Chen, the champion who sings China, to sing, right?"
Well?
Wen Zhiyuan was stunned, not many people knew about this matter. Where did Li Zhigao hear that?
However, seeing the look on the other party's face, he understood.
It must be Zhang Qiong's stinky woman who just went out on the front foot. The hind foot was talking nonsense outside, deliberately slapping himself in the face, but even Li Zhigao knew about it!
Wen Zhiyuan had a nameless fire in his heart, and it was not good to attack Li Zhigao.
He sighed and said, "That's right, now that Lu Chen's people are all here in the reception room outside, Zhang Qiong insists on changing people." I didn't even know how to explain it to him. ”
Li Zhigao's mouth is still very solid, and it's okay to spit out some bitter water.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhigao showed a look of surprise: "Everyone is here?" Director Wen, Qiaoqiao, can you?"
He stammered and spoke incoherently, but Wen Zhiyuan understood. shook his head again and again and said: "Lao Li, it's not that I don't help you, Lu Chen's asking price for a song is 250,000, I can help Zhang Shuhui apply for this money, Qiaoqiao is really powerless." ”
Any brokerage company, including Baidai Culture, has an internal hierarchy of its signed artists, and the higher the level, the more resources you get, which is a clear rule.
In the Baidai brokerage company, the artist who is also under Wen Zhiyuan, if Zhang Shuhui's order is B, then Tang Qiaoqiao is D, and the difference between the two is really big.
Therefore, Wen Zhiyuan can apply for Zhang Shuhui a fee of 250,000 yuan to buy a song, and Tang Qiaoqiao will have a maximum of 50,000 yuan.
Wen Zhiyuan is really helpless.
The main reason is that Lu Chen's asking price is really too high, and no newcomer dares to open such a high price.
Zhang Qiong's opposition is not entirely unreasonable.
Wen Zhiyuan's heart is bitter.
Tang Qiaoqiao, who was sitting on the sofa at this time, bit his lip and suddenly said, "Uncle Wen, if I am willing to pay half of the money myself, is that okay?"
Wen Zhiyuan was taken aback: "You pay for it yourself?"
It is normal for singers to pay for songs by themselves, but Tang Qiaoqiao is a new artist who has just debuted, Wen Zhiyuan knows that her family background is very ordinary, and the money she earns through the company is also mixed in the capital, and it is difficult to eat something good.
Now she actually wants to take out more than 100,000 yuan to buy songs, which really shocked Wen Zhiyuan.
It's a wreck!
If the contracted artists under the brokerage company want to buy songs, they can't be arbitrary, and they must be arranged through the company according to the rules, because it also involves the production, publicity, and promotion of the future.
In fact, many entertainment brokerage companies don't like artists to make their own claims.
Tang Qiaoqiao asked Wen Zhiyuan to offer to buy songs from Lu Chen, which undoubtedly took great courage.
The timing is just right.
But
Wen Zhiyuan still shook his head: "Half is not enough!"
It's not that he is hard-hearted, but the company has the company's rules, and he is a small department head, and he has no ability to let the above break the rules and improve Tang Qiaoqiao's rank sequence.
Li Zhigao said: "Director Wen, Qiaoqiao will pay 100,000 yuan by herself, I will pay 50,000 yuan, you can help her apply for another 100,000 yuan!"
He looked at Wen Zhiyuan with an extremely sincere attitude: "Qiaoqiao, this kid is not easy. You can help. ”
Lao Li is also crazy?
Wen Zhiyuan was simply dumbfounded, and he couldn't believe it.
50,000 yuan, I'm afraid it's all the savings of this person, how can any agent mess around like this?
But at the same time, the head of the brokerage department was also very moved.
In the entertainment industry, there are not many agents who can do this for signed artists. Most people try to squeeze out the value of the latter, and finally spit it out like bagasse.
Therefore, many celebrity idols choose their relatives and friends as agents, even if the other party does not know how to do it at all.
Syllable!
Wen Zhiyuan slammed the table, got up and said, "That's okay! Since you call me uncle, I, who is an uncle, will sell this old face to help you once, and apply for 100,000 yuan for you to buy a song!"
Li Zhigao and Tang Qiaoqiao were both overjoyed: "Thank you, Director Wen/Uncle Wen!"
The two didn't have much hope, they just wanted to try to get a chance for themselves.
Unexpectedly, it really moved Wen Zhiyuan.
Wen Zhiyuan smiled, waved his hand and said, "No thanks, if you want to thank you, then work hard." Let's go see Teacher Lu Chen now, remember to be polite, don't be lazy. ”
It was also Tang Qiaoqiao's luck, if it weren't for Zhang Qiong turning his face with him, this opportunity would not have fallen on Tang Qiaoqiao at all, and if Zhang Qiong hadn't forced him too much to bear, he wouldn't have wanted to fight for it.
If he doesn't fight back, then he will only be trampled on by Zhang Qiong even more!
Wen Zhiyuan is actually also gambling. Bet that Lu Chen's strength was as strong as he expected.
A singer-songwriter who wrote "In the Spring", "You at the Same Table", and "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", there should be no problem in writing a song suitable for girls to sing, right?
Wen Zhiyuan, who took Li Zhigao and Tang Qiaoqiao to the reception room. I don't have a complete grasp in my heart.
EMI Culture Agency, Reception Room.
Lu Chen and Li Feiyu had been waiting for 10 minutes.
To be honest, Lu Chen was a little unhappy in his heart, he took the initiative to run to the door to try his voice, but he sat on the sofa and waited.
But the front desk lady is beautiful and polite, and the coffee provided is also very fragrant. So I can bear it.
Li Feiyu was fascinated by this big-breasted and white-skinned front desk, and he kept peeking at coffee when he was drinking.
Lu Chen suspected that he was a front desk controller - there was a little beautiful sister over there in the studio!
"This must be Teacher Lu Chen, right?"
Just when Lu Chen was starting to get a little impatient, three people appeared at the door of the reception room.
At the forefront of them was a middle-aged fat man with a big waist and a round waist, laughing like Maitreya Buddha: "I'm sorry, I'm really embarrassed." Sorry to keep you waiting!"
He came over and stretched out his hands to Lu Chen: "I'm Wen Zhiyuan, the head of the brokerage department of Baidai, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Wen Zhiyuan's sincere attitude made the unhappiness in Lu Chen's heart disappear.
He stood up and shook the other party's hand, and said with a smile: "Hello Director Wen, we didn't wait long, your company's coffee is delicious." ”
Wen Zhiyuan let go of his hand and said with a smile: "This coffee was brought by our boss from Brazil, there is really no one in China, if you like it, Mr. Lu Chen, I will ask Xiao Wang to pack some for you and go back to taste." ”
Lu Chen smiled dumbly: "Director Wen, you are too polite, just call me Lu Chen." ”
Wen Zhiyuan said with a straight face: "You are one of the judges who will sing China in the next season, and you deserve the name of a teacher." ”
The first season of Beijing Satellite TV's "Singing China" was very successful, and the ratings beat Shonan Satellite TV's "The Strongest Singer-Songwriter", and the production task for the second season of next year has been booked.
At that time, there will inevitably be more singers to participate, and Wen Zhiyuan's reason for applying to Lu Chen to invite songs is that Lu Chen's identity as a judge for the next season of "Sing China" has also been written.
Lu Chen said modestly: "It's just a judge of the audition in the singing area." ”
"Singing China" has a total of seven singing areas, except for the Beijing singing area, other singing areas have different audition judges, Lu Chen is one of them, not the four judges who determine the ownership of the champion.
This point has long been told by Beijing Satellite TV that it is nothing more than a publicity gimmick-
The first watch will be sent first, and the three watches are guaranteed today!
