Chapter 20: Willow Leaf's Good Intentions

Shen Ao shook hands with him generously and said, "Hello, I'm Shen Ao. ”

"You may be seated." Fang Ying sat on the sofa and said, "Mr. Shen is so young, he can make such a song full of aura, he is really talented." ”

"It's not a great talent, it's just a momentary feeling." Shen Ao sat down opposite, and Liu Ye sat on the side. The assistant in their own office poured tea for them without mentioning it.

Liu Ye said: "Xiao Shen is modest, in the music circle, you are also famous with a song." ”

Fang Ying agreed: "Indeed, even Luo Qian praised this song, and naturally there are many people in the circle who agree with you." ”

Shen Ao said: "I'm really not modest, these are just my occasional inspirations, and I am very unprofessional in music." ”

Fang Ying smiled and said, "If you are not professional in music, you can make such a good song, and his future is limitless." ”

Liu Ye also praised: "Yes, Xiao Shen, didn't you say that there are still a lot of inspirations?" What musicians lack the most is inspiration, have you considered developing in this area? ”

Shen Ao shook his head and said, "No, I prefer movies to music." ”

Fang Ying took a sip of tea and said slowly: "It's good to like movies, but wouldn't it be a pity to waste such a good talent?" It doesn't matter if you're not professional in music, just find a professional teacher to guide you. Film and television music are not separated, he is becoming famous day by day, whether he is acting in movies or making movies, it is not Mr. Shen's words. ”

Liu Ye also echoed: "Yes, Xiao Shen, although your acting skills are exquisite, you are not from a famous school, and you are not recommended, if you want to achieve something in the movie, I am afraid it is not easy." With your musical talent, as long as you make a few songs with a quality no less than "Youth Never Disperses", you will definitely become famous in the music industry, and no matter whether you direct or act in a movie, someone will be willing to recommend you. ”

Shen Ao smiled bitterly: "I'm a little inspired, but I basically don't understand music theory. ”

"It doesn't matter." Fang Ying waved his hand and said, "As long as you sign up with our Star Shadow, the company can not only ask the master to teach you, but also find someone to cooperate with you in the early stage." ”

"Thank you Mr. Fang for your appreciation, but my interest is still in movies rather than music." Shen Ao refused, the song is just for the early capital accumulation, and it doesn't take much effort to make a few songs, but if you specialize in music, let alone whether it will be exposed, the time it takes is not just a matter of one or two years, if you really have this talent, you can also try, but in fact, he is really poor in music.

Liu Ye thought that it was a pity for Shen Ao to give up music, and persuaded: "Interest and career have never been related, don't waste your good musical talent." ”

Fang Ying looked at Liu Ye first, and then said: "If Mr. Shen signs a contract with Xingying, we promise to do our best to build momentum for you, as long as you have a few more songs, we can make you the second Luo Qian." "This is really very sincere, ordinary musicians are not famous if they are not singers, in the current music circle, except for a few bigwigs, not many people know that others are out of the circle, and Luo Qian, the "genius musician" in the Mesozoic Era, is the most famous.

Shen Ao knew that he was bitter, took a sip of tea, and thanked: "Thank you Mr. Fang for your appreciation, but I have made up my mind to achieve something in the movie, and I really can't take care of the music." ”

"You......" Liu Ye was also kind enough to recommend him to Fang Ying, and seeing that Shen Ao couldn't open his mind, he could only sigh helplessly.

Fang Ying even gave Shen Ao, who had only played one song, such a treatment because of Liu Ye's face, and he was not annoyed at all when he refused, but said with a smile: "Since Mr. Shen has made up his mind, then forget it, I think with Mr. Shen's talent, he can shine even in the movie." He didn't mention the signing of the contract, just a "low-cost martial arts" can't show Shen Ao's directing ability, and it is impossible for Star Film Company to support a rookie director with no background.

"Mr. Fang has won the award." Shen Ao smiled faintly.

Fang Ying pondered for a moment, and then said: "Since Mr. Shen has entered the entertainment industry, he must need to be taken care of by an agent." If Mr. Shen does not have a broker for the time being, our company has an agent broker business, if Mr. Shen does not dislike it, let Liu Ye introduce you to an agent broker. ”

Shen Ao also has an understanding of the acting brokers in this world. In order to avoid the monopoly of large companies, there are laws and regulations that stipulate that no entertainment company is allowed to bind the business scope of the agent, that is, the agent of the entertainment company does not have to be the company's contracted artist. Of course, there are some unspoken rules that cannot be changed, but this provision still gives many small companies a way out. The agent agent has more lenient conditions, does not sign a contract with the artist, and is only responsible for one or some things of the artist. Many newcomers who are not familiar with the environment of the entertainment industry are looking for agent agents, so as to avoid being tied to a contract early.

Fang Ying said this, of course, not to pull such a small business, but to leave a small favor. Business is not human, Fang Ying will not be annoyed by Shen Ao's refusal to sign the contract, but this little favor has nothing to pay, but it can leave a good impression on Shen Ao, which is naturally the wisdom of the old rivers and lakes.

"Then thank you, Mr. Fang." Knowing Fang Ying's thoughts, Shen Ao would not refuse. Agent brokers affiliated with large companies do not dare to harm customers, but it is difficult to say whether they will do their best. With Fang Ying's words and Liu Ye's introduction, presumably the selected agent will be dedicated.

Fang Ying asked Shen Ao a few more words about his opinion on MTV of "Youth Never Disperses", and Shen Ao was prepared. Fang Ying verbally praised two words, and after exchanging business cards with Shen Ao, he went back to the office first.

Liu Ye sighed lightly, but she didn't say anything, her relationship with Shen Ao was not very familiar, and she didn't blame him for giving up a great opportunity, but said: "Xiao Shen, in fact, directors also need talent, in this regard, you may not be able to have musical talent." "Low-cost Martial Arts" is indeed funny to me, but this does not reflect much directorial ability. From Shen Ao's request to direct MTV, it can be seen that his pursuit in movies is more about becoming a director.

"If it really doesn't work, I'll consider it." Shen Ao can only be so perfunctory, he can't tell the truth.

Liu Ye couldn't see that he was perfunctory, and she didn't persuade much, she recommended Shen Ao to Fang Ying enough to repay the favor, even if Shen Ao didn't accept it.

The agent introduced by Liu Ye to Shen Ao is a young man named Tang Xiaofei, although Tang Xiaofei is young, he is serious in his work, and he is not arrogant because Shen Ao is a newcomer, which is why Liu Ye did not find a senior agent. Tang Xiaofei's first year was to talk about Shen Ao's salary for director MTV, and actually let Shen Ao, a newcomer who is not a director professional, get a salary of 3,000 yuan + fare reimbursement + hotel arrangement. Although this is the face that the Star Shadow Company gave to Liu Ye, and it is also a goodwill to Shen Ao, Tang Xiaofei can negotiate this condition with his own company, which shows his ability and hard work.

For professional directors, directing MTV is really simple, as long as the picture is beautiful, the plot doesn't pose to itself (it doesn't matter if there is no plot), if the rhythm is not grasped well, it can also be adjusted in post-editing. Shen Ao has really directed two movies, and he studied with Li Jiyuan for a month, so naturally there is no problem at all.

Star Shadow Entertainment has its own indoor studio, professional crew, and more professional executive director than Shen Ao, Shen Ao has a good draft, and uses Liu Ye and his acting skills to shoot MTV, if it is not careless, it will basically not NG, so the speed is very fast, it will be completed in a few hours, and the special effects + editing will be completed on the third day.

After the finished product came out, Star Shadow Entertainment recognized it, and Shen Ao immediately took the car home.
