Chapter 266: For Freedom (Subscription Requested!) )

Xu Yinglong's sudden invitation surprised and delighted Su Wei, and at the same time was a little incredulous. The current Xu Yinglong is not the Xu Yinglong of two days ago, after winning the championship of the annual music competition of Chinese college students, Xu Yinglong's name has occupied the news headlines of major media in recent days, and Xu Yinglong's popularity has surged.

Although Xu Yinglong has not signed a contract with any entertainment company and has not officially debuted, his popularity has caught up with the first-line singers in the Chinese entertainment industry.

This is just one of them, but more importantly, Xu Yinglong's potential, in the words of Li Dasong, a well-known Chinese musician, Xu Yinglong is the most talented singer in China in the past decade, and he is also the most promising Chinese singer who has become a superstar like MJ in the United States.

As the Taishan Beidou of the Chinese music industry, Li Dasong's evaluation is not insignificant, and Xu Yinglong can get such a high evaluation from him, which shows how strong Xu Yinglong's potential is.

Because of this, after the competition, major music companies and entertainment giants were gearing up to sign Xu Yinglong under the door. Even some large companies have publicly announced that as long as Xu Yinglong is willing to come to their company, they are willing to directly give Xu Yinglong an A-level contract second only to the superstar.

As soon as the news came out, the entire entertainment industry was in an uproar, second only to the contract of the superstar, that is, the contract of the first-line star singer! You must know that the contract of the entertainment company for the artist is hierarchical, generally speaking. In the first five years, artists generally belong to Baigan, and the artists and companies are 3 and 7 layered, and only the money obtained from record sales is shared. Advertisements, radio stations, and entertainment programs are all exported for nothing, and the money goes to the company. For example, SJ, the most popular girl group in Bangzi Country, 13 people only have the 3% of the money earned from records, and 13 people share it, so it's not much.

After five years, if the company finds it profitable for you, it will renew it with you. There will be a little more money at this time. At this time, as long as the artist is very satisfactory in the last contract period, the contract will generally become a B-level contract, and some celebrities will skyrocket in fame during the previous contract period. If the value increases dramatically, then you will even get a A-level contract directly. There are also some stars who have been promoted to superstars and even get a part of the company's shares, so that the money is rolling in.

It is generally impossible for newcomers to get a contract above grade B, so the news will cause such a big sensation as soon as it comes out!

Even so. I haven't heard of any company Xu Yinglong signed with. There is a lot of debate on the Internet about whether Xu Yinglong will eventually set foot in the entertainment industry and sign a contract with that company.

Because of Xu Da's case, Xu Yinglong's identity is no longer a secret, knowing that Xu Yinglong has a lieutenant general grandfather, so many people think that Xu Yinglong will not be able to enter the entertainment industry in the future, and he is most likely to enter the military or political circles, after all, Huaxia has always had a tradition of learning and excelling. Coupled with the fact that soldiers are naturally obviously averse to singing and acting, it is unlikely that Mr. Xu will let Xu Yinglong enter the entertainment industry for development.

But there are also some people who think that Xu Yinglong will definitely step into the entertainment industry. If he didn't want to enter the entertainment industry, why bother to participate in this competition. In addition, judging from Xu Yinglong's super strength, he must be very fond of singing, otherwise it would be impossible to have such an achievement. has ideas and strength, it's a pity not to develop in the entertainment industry!

Su Wei saw these voices on the Internet, and even joined the discussion himself, but he felt that Xu Yinglong was unlikely to enter the entertainment industry. After this period of contact with Xu Yinglong, Su Wei obviously felt that Xu Yinglong did not have a good impression of the entertainment industry, so he firmly believed that Xu Yinglong would not enter the entertainment industry to develop.

However, it has only been a long time before Xu Yinglong actually invited him to be his agent.

Su Wei didn't know what Xu Yinglong thought, so he proposed to meet with Xu Yinglong, have a good talk, and then make a decision!

Xu Yinglong readily agreed, and told Su Wei his address and asked him to come over quickly!

During this time of waiting for Su Wei, An Ruoxi and Xiaomei will also come, with Xu Jiye's golden signboard, how dare those people in the Education Bureau slack off, and they will help Xu Ying do things very happily.

Knowing that Xu Yinglong wanted to be a freelance artist, An Ruoxi and Xu Ying both thought it was a good idea, to be honest, An Ruoxi didn't want Xu Yinglong to enter the entertainment industry. On the one hand, the entertainment industry is too chaotic, no matter who it is, once they enter that big dye vat, few people can come out lightly in vain.

And Xu Yinglong is a person with a "criminal record", so if you go in, you can't come out with peach blossoms? Just one is enough to give An Ruoxi a headache, if there are a few more, it won't make her depressed to death.

What's more, An Ruoxi was born in an official family, his father is a ministerial-level official, and Old Man Xu is a big man in the army, no matter whether Xu Yinglong enters the military or political circles in the future, the future is limitless! In addition, the Ji family's assets are tens of billions, and it is unlikely that the family will be short of money in the future, so there is no need for Xu Yinglong to enter the entertainment industry.

On the way back, An Ruoxi was still discussing with Xu Ying, worried that Xu Yinglong was bent on entering the entertainment industry, and they had reached a consensus that as long as Xu Yinglong said that he would enter the entertainment industry, they would oppose it together.

But if Xu Yinglong just wants to be a freelance artist, it doesn't matter, freelance artists are just a kind of ticket nature, and there are not many people who can make a name for themselves. Many people disappear after mixing, so they don't mind Xu Yinglong being a freelance artist.

At eleven o'clock, the bell rang outside the door, Xu Yinglong swept it with his senses, and found that it was Su Wei who came, and immediately went out to open the door to greet him!

The two of them came to the living room talking and laughing, Xu Yinglong introduced the women and children of the family to Su Wei, and then the two of them chatted about the agent in the living room.

After learning that Xu Yinglong wanted to be a freelance artist, Su Wei couldn't help frowning, thought for a while and said, "Are you sure you want to be a freelance artist?" You must know that this road is not easy to walk, if you don't get it right, you will be bruised all over your body, and then disappear completely! ”

"It's not such an exaggeration, can't you just sign with other music companies?" Xu Ying saw that Su Wei said so strictly, and immediately asked.

Su Wei shook his head and said: "Celebrities are different from other professions, once a star goes downhill, it is difficult to have a chance to turn over!" This still refers to ordinary domestic artists, not to mention freelance artists, once the starlight is dimmed, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, it disappears in an instant, and there is no way back! ”

"How can this be, doesn't it mean that there are still many freelance artists in the entertainment industry now, are they all like this?" Xu Ying asked again.

At present, from the perspective of the affiliation between entertainers and units, they can be roughly divided into three categories: first, actors in state-owned professional art troupes. This kind of actor is the actor under the traditional system, and the state cultivates, manages, and uses it in accordance with the model of public institutions. The second is the actor of various private entertainment companies. They are actors employed by private art troupes, and their professional behavior is usually established in the form of labor relations, which is in principle regulated by the Labor Law. The third category is freelance actors, that is, freelance entertainers. This can also be divided into two categories: one is well-known actors, who have their own brokerage companies or studios and have relatively complete rights and interests protection; The other type is pure freelancers of individual nature, who work hard in the entertainment industry by themselves. ”

After introducing these, Su Wei continued: "Well-known actors don't sign with entertainment companies because they are very confident in their own strength, and believe that even if they leave the entertainment company, they can mix very well, in fact, these people rarely fail in the whole division, everyone mixes very well!" But the second category is different, due to the lack of channels for packaging and promoting themselves, many people have not appeared in the mass media for a long time, and many viewers have forgotten about it, and finally the star is not there and flees from the entertainment industry! ”

Xu Yinglong said in a deep voice: "Having said so much, the reason why freelance artists have such a big risk is mainly because they lack channels, to put it bluntly, they lack exposure!" Is that right? ”

Su Wei nodded and said: "That's true, the entertainment industry is a place where you only see newcomers laughing but not old people crying, I don't know how many handsome men and beautiful women break in every day with star dreams, all kinds of scandals and hype are flying all over the sky, today this divorced and that drug addict and prostitution are all over the world, and it is even more powerful to wipe out the already small news positions in major media, if there are no good channels, freelance artists are likely to be unable to appear in the media once in half a year!" ”

Xu Yinglong smiled and said: "You can rest assured of this, we have channels, even if we don't have them, we can establish our own channels, in short, we will not lack exposure!" ”

"Oh, it seems that you have your own plan, I'll just say, you can't just take me to the entertainment industry alone!" Su Wei said with a smile.

"I don't have a plan, but I have an idea!" Xu Yinglong said.

"If you have an idea, let's hear it!" Su Wei Dao.

"What I want is freedom, it doesn't matter if I'm a freelance artist or not, if it's too hard to be a freelance artist, we can set up our own entertainment company and be our own boss! That way, I have the freedom I want, and the risk is reduced," Xu Yinglong said in a surprising voice.

"Setting up your own entertainment company, dizzy, this is not easy, and we don't have money to ask for people now, how can we set up a company?" Su Wei said helplessly.

"There are no people, but there is no shortage of money, I can invest 100 million Huaxia coins in the early stage, I think with this money, you won't even be able to find a management team, right?" Xu Yinglong said.

"Of course, there is no shortage of money, I'm worried that there are no suitable artists, you can't spend 100 million to serve you alone, an entertainment company can't have only one artist, I'm thinking about what else to sign!" Su Wei quickly stepped into character and replied.

"That's your business, the money will arrive in a while, and the rest will be up to you!" Xu Yinglong said. (To be continued......)
