Chapter 55: The Future Queen

After going through the donation transfer procedure in the background and receiving the certificate, Jian Ito still pulled Zhou Yi to speak, did not leave immediately, and behaved very enthusiastically. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Zhou Yi, you know Yi Hyunjing!"

"Yi Hyun Jing...... Oh! Of course I know that the runner-up of this year's "The Voice of China", right? I watched the final on the peak night and she played really well and she didn't win the title, which is a shame. Of course, Zhou Yi still has an impression.

"Actually, there are no regrets, Zheng Longshi is indeed very strong, and she lost unjustly. Besides, with the strong support of Zhou Yi, Zheng Longshi must have an advantage, which is normal. And it doesn't affect her, after all, it's a boy who wins the championship, she is a girl, and she has the best results among girls, so it's not much different from winning the championship. Ito said with a smile.

"Yi Hyunjing is a ......"

"She's my sister."

"Huh? Your sister? Zhou Yi was surprised, his niece was almost the same! Obviously about the same age as Zheng Longshi.

"Haha! Zhou Yi thinks that the age difference between our brothers and sisters is too big! Actually, this is normal, we are half-brothers, my parents divorced peacefully in the early years, Hyunjing is the stepmother's child, but we have a good relationship. My sister debuted, of course I want to give it a boost. Ken Ito explained briefly.

"It should be good for her to sign on to your dazzling move, with your brother covering." Zhou Yi nodded.

"I heard that your Zhengdong Pictures has also set up a music department." Ken Ito is very well-informed in the circle.

"Yes, it has just been established recently, and the main artists are Zheng Longshi, as well as the Dynasty Band. However, Zheng Longshi has just entered his freshman year, and he is still early from his debut, and he is still laying the foundation. Now our main focus is to train the Dynasty Band. Zhou Yi introduced.

"Hmmm! I've heard that they have become famous recently, and they have received a lot of commercial performances, which should be driven by TV dramas. ”

"That's right, we signed them to facilitate movie composition and TV series theme songs, they are really talented."

"This is also very beneficial to them, relying on the theme song of the TV series, it is easy to become popular, and it is easy to take on commercial performances, this is the benefit of making movies and TV series at home, not only can you support actors, but also singers, and you don't even have to work so hard to hit the list, which is also very beneficial to packaging and promotion. It's not easy for newcomers to become famous now, it's great to become famous so quickly like them, but it's mainly the credit of Zhou Yi's classmates, who can create excellent works, which helps them a lot, which is fundamental, otherwise it's useless. How can ordinary people hand over those excellent works to newcomers to sing, and it is not the turn of newcomer singers at all, only Zhou Yi is talented and will not care. In this regard, Ken Ito really admires.

"Haha! I'm a bit talented in this area, so I'm suitable for this industry. "Zhou Yi doesn't need to be too modest.

"What is the contract you have for the newcomers?" Ken Ito asked.

"Oh? Could it be that Hyunjing is interested in our Zhengdong? "Zhou Yi is very strange.

"Zhou Yi, don't you know? My sister is also studying at the Central Conservatory of Music, and she and Zheng Longshi are classmates! ”

"Huh? I really don't know. He kept it a secret from me and didn't tell me. Zhou Yi was stunned.

"And my sister has a good impression of Zheng Longshi, how can I say it! The two looked at each other, fell in love at first sight, and fell in love at first sight, and began to fall in love in their freshman year, and they were friends. My brother couldn't do anything about her, so he had to help her ask about the situation. ”

"Haha! That's what happened! Oops, I realized it later, when I watched the finals of "The Voice", I should have been aware of it, but I didn't think much about it at the time, because I was busy, I didn't watch the first few episodes, otherwise I would have noticed it. No wonder he didn't tell me, probably embarrassed! However, the two of them are very compatible, Zheng Longshi is very talented, and he will definitely be a superstar in the music industry in the future. ”

took back the championship and turned back the sister-in-law, Zhou Yi was also convinced.

Regarding Zhou Yi's statement, Ito Jian did not object: "Zheng Longshi's voice talent is really good, now there are famous teachers to guide him, he can study systematically, and his classmates support him, he will definitely have a future in the future, otherwise I wouldn't agree with my sister to talk about friends in college casually." It may seem like a bit snobbish to say this, but as an older brother, you can definitely understand my feelings. ”

Zhou Yi nodded again and again: "Understood!" Understand! Zheng Longshi was born in a legal family, and his family background is very good, so he is indeed a good match. It's a bit lame, but for men, it doesn't matter at all. ”

Ken Ito agrees: "I know this, it doesn't matter. ”

"Hyunjing, it's impossible for you to be interested in our Zhengdong based on this alone! When two people talk about friends, they don't necessarily have to do things in the same company, this kind of thing is very common in the industry, isn't it good to have a brother to help in Xuandong? Zhou Yi asked.

"Actually, it's not just my sister's idea, it's also my own consideration."

Ken Ito explains.

"Large companies are glamorous on the surface, but in fact they are not so easy to mix, and the internal competition is too strong. The Xuandong music under our Xuandong Media is very good, and it is controlled by CHIRON and relies on giants, ranking in the forefront of the industry. But how to say it! There are too many stars and limited resources. As the industry often says, the first sister takes the lead, the second sister is ready to seize power, and the third sister is equivalent to being hidden. What can you do? ”

"Everywhere, resources cannot be evenly distributed, and they will always tend to be high-end."

"That kind of place is not suitable for newcomers to sign at all."

"Even if I am covered, but I am me, my sister is my sister, it's different. It's also hard for me to snatch resources from those first and second sisters. People have the same status as me, why let me? Companies won't want to. You want to! The same resources, to the first sister, she can create a profit of 10 million for you, to the second sister, she can create a profit of 8 million, to my sister, may only have a profit of 1 million, and even lose money, and a lot of packaging publicity will be invested in the early stage, who wants to? I can't ask for that. ”

"The new company doesn't have big names, so it's willing to praise newcomers. But the old company has a superstar, who wants to praise the newcomer? ”

"Just like the six Chinese majors in the film and television industry, they rarely sign newcomers, unless they have a background, they only sign first-line big names. With our music company, it's pretty much the same. Even if it is the runner-up of "The Voice", but that kind of new star, there is more than one talent show every year, and it may not be really promising, who wants to bet on it? To put it bluntly, no one makes a lot of effort to praise it, and newcomers are all useless. Even if I'm her brother, I'm not a singer-songwriter, and I can't support her if I want to! ”

"Speaking of resources, the mainstream singing style of our company's actresses is sweet songs, or some mournful winds, and resources are inclined to this aspect. I don't think my sister's singing style is suitable. This point should also be considered, you can't be blind, you think that if you sign in a big company, you will definitely become famous, but it doesn't necessarily, but it depends on whether it is suitable or not. Of course, a new company can't sign randomly, and it certainly can't sign a company with no future. In many cases, new companies are not as good as large ones. But I like Zhou Yi's creative ability and the ability to become a popular newcomer. To tell you the truth, if there was no classmate Zhou Yi in Zhengdong, I wouldn't even ask. With Zhou Yi's Zhengdong, it is a company with potential, otherwise it is only second-rate and third-rate. ”

"Moreover, your company needs female singers to support the scene after all."

Zhou Yi understood what Ito Jian meant.

He wants to choose an easier path for his sister to get ahead, and he is very optimistic about the future of Zhengdong, plus there are no actresses in Zhengdong's music department, his sister can seize the opportunity and easily get the status of the company's first sister. Don't take the first sister seriously, the resources of any company will definitely be tilted towards the first sister. As long as the company pays attention, the resources of a small company are enough for you to eat.

This is a treatment that you can't get in a big company.

It is especially worth mentioning that if Zhengdong develops in the future, won't his sister naturally become a superstar in the industry?

It is also the best choice to accompany a company with potential to grow together. Of course, this requires vision, and if you choose the wrong one, you will be in trouble.

Obviously, Ken Ito has a vision.

previously spent a lot of money on the song, not only because he really likes "Forget Love Water", but also because he hopes to have a relationship with Zhou Yi. Otherwise, without this reason, people may not be willing to deal with you, even if you are a superstar. Relationships should be built gradually, and then cultivated well.

As a superstar in the music world, Ken Ito is not unreasonable, and of course he understands this truth.

In fact, if Yi Hyun Jing is signed in Xuandong and has his brother covered, it is not that he can't become famous, but it may be a little slower, and the best resources will not be his sister's turn, and he will have to stay up for a few years, and wait for the first sister in front of him to abdicate, it will be very tireless. Ken Ito didn't want to delay his sister.

Now it's all youth that is delayed! Who knows what will happen in the future? What if it doesn't work?

But in Zhengdong, it is different, as long as Zhou Yiken spends his strength and does not lack resources, he will not delay his youth and start earlier. After all, Zhou Yi's strength in creating songs has been obvious to all, and in a short period of time, there have been masterpieces coming out one after another, which cannot be a coincidence.

This is something that Ken Ito attaches great importance to, and it is necessary to become famous as soon as possible!

Zhou Yi is very clear about Jian Ito's thoughts. Of course, the other party said it very clearly and did not hide his true thoughts. In front of smart people, of course, there is no need to tell lies. To tell the truth, everyone weighs the pros and cons to facilitate cooperation.

Zhou Yi also introduced the situation of his company.

"We are definitely very welcome to Yi Hyunjing. Her strength is obvious to all, convincing, and she is still a alto class. Our main business in Zhengdong is not music, but mainly film and television dramas, so we don't need to cut the flesh on the singers, knock the bones and suck the marrow, and we have preferential treatment in terms of sharing. But I won't hide it from you, brother, in essence, our company's artist contracts are all in the nature of a deed of sale. Like other companies, there may be agency contracts, but our company does not have them, they are all one-size-fits-all deeds of sale, after all, the relationship between the landlord and the long-term worker. It can only be said that the landlord treats long-term workers very well, even if they treat them like their own family, but in essence they are still long-term workers. ”

This is the truth, only if the artist is willing to always be attached to the banner of Zhengdong, Zhengdong is willing to spend resources and work hard to support it.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a wedding dress for another company?

Big companies just need to wave money and wait for ready-made ones, who wants to?

The subtext is, you can't wait for me to make her popular, and then pull her to show off as a sister, it would be disgusting.

As a pick-up man like this, no one wants to see him.

Of course, Ken Ito understood what Zhou Yi meant.

"Zhou Yi, of course I understand this truth. Generally speaking, this is the rule in the circle. If the artist does not sign a deed of sale, how can the company be willing to cultivate it with heart? Some artists may think that it is a good thing that the company's contract is relaxed, but in fact, it is not good at all, which means that the company does not take you to heart at all and does not pay attention to you at all, so they don't want to tie you up with a contract, which also means that it is impossible to give you good resources and cultivate you with your heart. Those artists who signed agency contracts, basically no one can really become popular, but they just waste time and youth, and finally terminate the contract. And those superstars who are really popular, the contracts are tied to death, and there is no looseness. ”

Zhou Yi smiled happily: "It's good that Senior Brother can understand." ”

In this respect, there is a difference between this life and the previous life. In their previous lives, some celebrities became famous, and they immediately wanted to terminate their contracts and change jobs, open a studio, and be their own boss. As long as the popularity is high, there is no need to worry about resources, and there are always bosses who come to the door with banknotes.

But that was when the Chinese film and television industry was just starting.

This world is clearly different.

Even artists of Lou Degua and Liang Mofeng did not jump out and open a studio.

In the entertainment industry controlled by the six major Chinese people, they all serve the media group behind them and convey benefits, if they jump out, it basically means giving up their original channels and resources, which is equivalent to giving up their status as the first brother, and the gains outweigh the losses. How can a brother and a sister in the industry not be from the six major Chinese people? After there is no status, there is naturally no practical benefit.

It is impossible for the media group to turn around and serve the artists, how can there be such a good thing?

In this mature system, it is not particularly difficult to pick up a newcomer, it just depends on whether you are willing or not.

Large companies may poach each other, but the average artist will not take the initiative to leave, and it is difficult to be independent.

And the artists of small companies want to go to big companies.

In order to avoid this from happening, some small companies must have studied the contract very thoroughly, tied to death, and it is difficult to terminate the contract. made you popular, you ran to a big company, who wants to? Even if it is stiff, even if the artist is not hidden, he can only leave the house. Even if a large company wants to poach a small company, it will pay a huge price. Small companies are not stupid, how can it be possible to train talents for large companies for free?

Of course, there are other means for large companies, and it goes without saying.

In short, as long as an artist has his own ability, it is not too difficult to sign a company, but if you want the company to make efforts to support you, this contract must be extremely harsh. The company is not afraid that you will make money, but it is afraid that you will not make money!

The more you earn, the more difficult it is to terminate your contract, and when it comes to that status, artists are often reluctant to terminate their contract.

Some artists also have the idea of "I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail".

Being a brother and sister in a small company is majestic and moisturizing, so why go to a big company to be angry!

The kind of heart is higher than the sky, unwilling to be the queen, and wants to compete for a brother and sister in the industry, so he will go to a big company!

For example, the Dynasty Band in the east now, you let them go to a big company to start from the bottom, as a trainee, or give some composers a hand, no matter what they create, they will hang their names, and they will be like programmers, as coolies, and they don't even have the right to sign their names. People have started to take on commercial performances, they can sing the theme song of the TV series, and they can also score movies, so they have to do it from scratch, isn't that sick?

For these situations in the circle, Ken Ito is naturally very clear.

chatted with Zhou Yi, and both of them were very satisfied.

Zhou Yi said that he would like to see a singing couple appear in Zhengdong. Replace the lame foot with a broken arm, and that's the Condor Heroes. But this kind of thing can't be said, there is no such novel in this world.

Of course, it is impossible to decide things now, just understand in advance and communicate.

How it will depend on the future.

As for whether it will offend Xuandong by digging people like this, Zhou Yi is not very worried. Since Ken Ito took the initiative to bring up this matter, he is obviously sure that he will not really do anything that offends people. Yi Hyunjing also did not sign a contract with Xuandong. Even when he participated in "The Voice", some things were done by Ken Ito himself, not by the company.

has been in the circle for so long, and when he reaches the position of a superstar, Ken Ito thinks about the problem very comprehensively and will not act naΓ―vely. Anyway, with him here, his sister doesn't have to worry about a way out, of course he will think about it carefully, shop around, even if it is his own owner, he will not easily let his sister sign a contract. We must plan our future well and see if the company has the strength and sincerity to win the red sister before making a decision.

Zhou Yi understands this, he is also like this, he is anxious to protect his sister!

If Xuandong can't plan Yi Hyunjing's future well for the time being, or can't satisfy Ito Jian, Zhengdong is very willing to accept it, anyway, there is no female singer in Zhengdong, Yi Hyunjing is here, and she is the status of the first sister in the music department.

Of course, whether she can keep her status as the first sister in the future depends on her strength.

But at least this starting point is very high, there is no shortage of resources, and fame will be very fast.

Resources are what matter.

You don't see, the actress in her previous life obviously had terrible acting skills, and she could still become famous by relying on resources alone.

And Zhou Yi also assured Yi Dong Jian that the theme song of the company's next TV series "Tai Chi Grandmaster" was originally intended to be sung by Zheng Longshi, but if Yi Hyun Jing is willing to sign in Zhengdong, the two of them can sing together.

As for the Dynasty Band, after becoming famous, according to the company's plan, it will definitely develop in the direction of rock and roll.

That's what bands should do, not to mention that they've already started to take on commercial performances.

Singing the theme song of the TV series in the early stage is just an expedient measure to improve fame.

But always singing the theme song of the TV series, you can only sing it alone, which is not good for the band as a whole. Now that he has a reputation, he has to start a formal development, shoot music shorts, enter the rock music scene, and release albums, which is the plan of the music department.

After the TV series is released, their fame will rise again, and Zhou Yi will carry out the next step of their building plan.

Zheng Longshi is on vacation and will take over the singing of the theme song of "Tai Chi Grandmaster". With Yi Hyunjing joining, it would be more ideal to change to a male and female chorus. That theme song was originally suitable for male and female choruses, and it matched the plot very well. Besides, this is a big gimmick, after all, it is the male champion and female champion of "The Voice of China" working together, which is conducive to publicity in all aspects.

Ito Ken was very interested in Zhou Yi's idea and said that he would discuss it with his sister when he went back.

You must know that the theme song of a TV series is often not sung by newcomers, at least it takes a well-known singer in the industry to have this kind of treatment, which is the stage for singers. Didn't Zheng Longshi sink into the sand in "Man Jianghong" earlier? But the TV series filmed by your own company is another matter, and you must praise your own newcomers, whether they are actors or singers. Especially this is a TV series starring Zhou Yi, it is easy to become a popular singer, so it is naturally worth a fight.

can make newcomers sing the theme song of the TV series, Zhou Yi dares to do so only because of his own fame and tens of millions of fans.

He doesn't need to rely on well-known singers to make his TV series famous, it's enough to rely on himself.

Ken Ito understands this very well, and he is really moved. Since Zhengdong is willing to praise his sister in popularity, and there is no one in the company to compete with his sister, the pressure is very small, and there is the support of a creative genius like Zhou Yi, of course he has some tendencies.

Now that there are easy shortcuts to take, why bother taking congested avenues? Running on a shortcut may be faster than walking on a congested road!

After the two finished chatting, they returned to the front desk and sat down together and continued to enjoy the stage show.

Acting for Love, has begun, and this is the final part.

In a short period of time, no one knew that just now, in the background, the transaction of a new star in the music industry with the potential of a future diva was almost completed.

Although the scale of Zhengdong is small, film, television, and song go hand in hand, and they all have potential new stars. If Yi Hyunjing joins, the lack of female singers in the music department will also make up for this shortcoming, and the lineup will be very neat.

Zhou Yi knows the meaning, and of course he will do his best to promote this good thing. Songs suitable for girls to sing in the future can also be taken out. I hope Zheng Longshi can take the girl home! This is a model of an excellent artist!
