Chapter 21: Where Righteousness Comes

"I ...... I didn't mean to!" "I ...... I didn't mean to!"

After Gu Cheng saw the little Lori in front of him, the two apologized in unison. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

It turned out to be Kwon Bo Ya.

"I ...... I know. "I...... I know. ”

"Then you speak first. ”

After talking a few times, Gu Cheng gave in gentlemanly and motioned to Quan Baoya to speak first.

Quan Baoya took two deep breaths and explained: "You didn't answer your call in the morning, and I was worried that you would miss the plane, so I came to take a look." ”

Last night, it was the room that the Quan brothers and sisters helped Gu Cheng open. When she came in the morning, she happened to meet the waitress at the front desk last night, reported Gu Cheng's room number, and said that the guest might have a hangover, so the waitress allowed the door to open the door to check.

then woke up Gu Cheng in the nightmare and made a big fuss.

"I'm fine, she's indeed my friend, you go out. ”

Gu Cheng sent the unsightly waitress away, picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, it was only 9 o'clock in the morning, and he was not in a hurry.

There are also a few strange missed calls - it should be Kwon Bo-ah.

He saved the number with ease.

When the waitress walked away, Quan Baoya gradually recovered from the red face and hot ears, knowing that Gu Cheng did not mean to be frivolous, and forgave him.

"You just ...... What do you mean by a scumbag?"

"Uh- nothing. You can understand that I have done something sorry for people, and that's it. ”

Gu Cheng was a little embarrassed, but he didn't intend to hide it.

Since you have relived a lifetime, you must be open-minded.

Of course, the main reason for his openness is that the other party is a child - he has never treated her as a woman, so there is nothing he can't say.

"Leave my business alone and talk about yourself. Why do you call early in the morning? You don't come to call early. ”

Quan Baoya bit her lip and said, "I have some things on my mind, I am so hesitant, there is no one else to discuss." ”

Gu Cheng was surprised: "You have so many friends in the company, can't you all discuss." ”

Quan Baoya sighed: "I can't tell the people in the company about this - if you don't leave, I won't have the courage to ask you." ”

"Then you ...... yesterday"

"My brother was here yesterday, so it's inconvenient to say. ”

"Okay, let's talk about it. Gu Cheng listened as he got up and got dressed.

"In four months, I'm about to make my debut, and the president wants to sign a contract with me. My brother advised me not to do so, saying that if I became popular in the future, I would have less moneyβ€”what do you think?"

"Contracts, let me think about it. ”

Gu Cheng is not specialized in law, but it happened that he studied it last month in order to escape from the company.

Therefore, it can be regarded as learning and selling.

Dongyi Law's protection of the artist's contract period is mainly reflected in two things.

The first is that the statutory maximum brokerage contract is only 7 years. The second is that the contract signed by the minor is signed by the parent on behalf of the minor, and he or she can request to re-sign it once when he or she becomes an adult.

In addition, in practice, there is a one-year grace period for renewal after the expiration of the contract.

Kwon is still a 13-year-old child, and if S-M wants to restrain her, she can theoretically sign until November 5, 2005, which is her 19th birthday.

"It's better to sign a long-term contract, the company can't squeeze you much, and your family is not bad for money. Gu Cheng thought for a moment and said an opinion contrary to that of her own brother.

But after Quan Baoya heard it, she breathed a sigh of relief, which made Gu Cheng feel cute when she saw it.

"You kid, you originally wanted to sign up to be 19 years old. They also came to me for comfort. ”

Quan Baoya said aggrievedly: "People heard that the president raised 3 billion (Yi yuan) in publicity and distribution fees in order to support me. If I refuse to sign a long-term contract again, I have no conscience, so I'm embarrassed. ”

When Gu Cheng heard this, he was a little awe-inspired.

This kind of rather archaic idea, he has hardly seen it in later generations-

The Internet has flattened the world, but it has also made the word "righteousness" disappear.

The like-mindedness between people with a human flavor is gradually replaced by the cold marriage between money and money.

The packaging of artists is originally a very risky investment. Advertising money is smashed, and there are many examples of artists who are not strong enough and cannot become popular in the end.

In Huaxia more than ten years later, the circle is full of proverbs such as "Adou who can't be supported, X sweet who can't be popular".

Considering that Quan Baoya said that President Li raised 3 billion yuan to support her, this kindness should sign a long-term contract.

"I didn't expect you to be so reasonable, but I underestimated you. Gu Cheng lovingly touched Quan Baoya's head.

"However, I am still a minor, and my parents think that my brother understands better. Quan Baoya said, sighed, and begged for advice, "So I thought, you are better at speaking, can you teach me a set of truths, so that I can go back and relay it to my parents and persuade them." ”

The signature of a minor has no legal effect. Quan Baoya's contract still has to be signed by the guardian in the end.

"So you're here to ask for a story...... Let me think. ”

Gu Chengxin said that he must have been in foreign language class that day, and his mouth was like a river, which caused the girl to think that he knew everything.

He pondered his wording, and soon had an idea.

"The last two years may be the last golden period for the agency to support SOLO musicians. If you are willing to sign a long-term contract with the company, so that the company can see the benefits, the company will support more SOLO artists in the future.

If the company makes you popular, but you change jobs, it will force the company to the point where you only dare to support and squeeze the combination from now on - then the future generations will be regarded as being cheated by you. Even if you are not legally wrong, but the pen of history is like iron, why bother?"

"I ...... I don't understand, why is it the 'last golden age to support solo musicians', and does it make such a big difference if I sign a long-term contract or not?"

Quan Baoya was directly stunned, she didn't expect her choice to be raised to a historical height.

In Gu Cheng's heart, it was like a mirror.

In history, almost all of the last brilliant Huaxia and Dongyi singers debuted before 2000, and at the latest in 2002. Only Fusang Country, because the piracy crackdown is very severe, and the suppression of Internet music is more ruthless, so it is a little more ancient than Huaxia and Dongyi in this regard, and it can also become popular with a few new century singers such as Mika Nakajima.

The cold winter period of the Internet is precisely the spring of personalized music -- because Internet stocks have been beaten up collectively, and the source of piracy cannot survive on the advertising fees of pirate stations alone, and a large number of them have gone bankrupt. The traditional record industry has survived for two years.

Historically, after 2003, the Internet spring came again, and the physical record industry finally ushered in an irreversible and devastating blow.

Then, in the next 20 years, East Asian countries have never produced SOLO superstars of the level of Zhou Jielun, Jolin Tsai, Kwon Boya, and Ayumi Hamasaki. Occasionally, there are sales and popularity that are very popular, but they are all short-lived, or they are mixed out of the group first, and it is impossible to reach the top for more than ten years like Zhou Jielun.

This "prophecy" Gu Cheng can't say to Quan Baoya, but the truth can be said.

Quan Baoya listened very carefully, seemed to empathize, and was a little sad: "Why is it that after the Internet is developed, brokerage companies will start to only support portfolios and not SOLO? I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

Gu Cheng opened the curtains, let the early spring sun shine in, turned his back to Quan Baoya and said:

"Quite simply, in the era of the traditional record industry, agencies have a lot of resources that can clamp down on artists. For example, record factories and offline distribution channels. Even if an artist wants to betray a big record company, the cost of betrayal will be very high. In this case, the agency is more daring to invest in publicity resources in the artist.

In the field of literature, too. In the era of paper books, distributors can clamp producers through book numbers, publishing houses, printing houses, bookstore channels and other links, so writers basically will not ask for prices after they become popular.

But what about after the Internet age? This society will become flattened, and people can listen to electronic music, they can read electronic books. Netizens don't need record studios, printing houses, publishing houses, or bookstores to get the spiritual consumer goods they want. Brokerage companies can't use those outdated channel resources to blackmail artists.

As long as the artist is popular, he can completely get rid of the brokerage company when the contract expires. The management is not stupid, since it knows that the artist's wings will definitely flash when the contract expires, so he naturally won't spend money to support SOLO.

The combination is different, and the signboard of the combination belongs to the brokerage company. Even if the artist becomes popular and the person leaves, the name of the group cannot be taken away, and the company can still stuff spare tires and other homogeneous artists into the group to support the group again. Therefore, the combination is the natural reflexive self-defense of the capital side when the brokerage company resists the decline of the entertainment industry in the Internet era.

The price is that from now on, those geniuses with personality and irreplaceable core competitiveness will no longer be tolerated by the management - what the management needs is a nine-point female singer who can change the spare tire at any time, and is no longer an amazing genius. ”

Quan Baoya took a long time to digest this passage, Rao is precocious and sensible, and she still felt uncomfortable for a long time.

Gu Cheng knew that this was a bit cruel, but he had to wake up the other party.

"If you don't understand the stock market and the economy, I won't tell you more, you just have to conclude: I think the Internet winter will come soon, and it may last for two or three years.

In other words, if you sign a long-term contract with S-M today and let them see that 'even if the Internet era comes, there are still many peerless geniuses in the world who are just as righteous as in ancient times', then in the next two or three years of the Internet winter, maybe they will find out their conscience and praise a few more talented SOLO musicians.

If you are treacherous, it may lead to the company being completely blackened in advance, and then you will not believe in SOLO's character and become a combination machine - in that case, your 'injustice' today will block the way for the younger generation to debut in the next few years. Do you think you can't bear it, and do you want to be remembered as a 'turning point in history'?"

"I don't want to!" Quan Baoya clenched her small fists and said with a little indignation, "I'll just persuade my parents to sign me to be 19 years old when I go back-but Brother Cheng, I really think you know everything so well, why are you so tired?"

"Silly boy, if you endure more hardships, you will understand more. ”

Gu Cheng was very pleased, and when he saw that the time was not early, he began to pack up his salute.

He thought for a moment, tore off a piece of paper from the small notebook beside him, and wrote a string of characters.

"This is my MSN account, if I am in Huaxia in the future, if you have something you don't understand to ask me, just go online to say hello, save some international long-distance calls." If you're not used to it, email is fine. ”

Kwon Bo-ah carefully read it twice, and then put the piece of paper away.

The two went downstairs and returned the room, and Gu Cheng escorted her back to her home on Handong Road.

Kwon Bo-ah walked to the elevator and looked back deeply.

"What's the matter, don't you go up quickly. ”

"You're fat, remember to weigh it when you get home. Business matters, and health matters. ”

"Yes...... Yes. Can you see this?" Gu Cheng was a little weak-hearted.

"I'm very sensitive to fat and thin eyes - you're at least 5 pounds fat. ”

After saying that, Kwon Bo-ah escaped into the elevator like a deer.

"As for it...... I'm not going to beat you up just because you say I'm fat. ”

Gu Cheng laughed at himself helplessly, and then got on the bus at the Cheongdam-dong subway station nearby and rushed to Incheon Airport.

He boarded the flight from Seoul to Beijing on time.

At half past three o'clock in the afternoon, he had already appeared at the door of "Rhubarb Yi".
