Chapter 10: Heading North
Wake up.
WeChat messages are already 99+.
It's all messages from previous college classmates, high school classmates and even junior high school classmates, Shao Yang is generally popular in school, after graduation, his roommates all go their separate ways, and they will chat in the group for a while at first, and after a long time, they will only receive their group messages on New Year's Eve, not to mention those classmates who are older.
But now that Shaoyang has become popular on the Internet, not to mention those classmates in college, even elementary school classmates who have not been in touch for more than ten years have sent messages.
People are like that.
Or rather, that's how it is in this day and age.
The poor play ten steel hooks on the cross street, but they can't hook the flesh and blood of their relatives; Rich people use knives, guns and sticks in the deep mountains and old forests, and they can't beat away unrighteous guests and friends.
Very realistic.
Don't look at them saying good things one by one, but Shao Yang knows that except for his parents, few people will be happy about their success, and they may not be so envious and jealous in their hearts.
Shao Yang perfunctorily replied to some students who were impressed, but as for those who were not impressed, he simply did not reply.
After replying to the message, click on Douyin to see, Shao Yang was almost frightened by the number of his fans, when he went to bed last night, it was only a little more than 80,000, and when he woke up, the number of fans reached 370,000!
You know, Shao Yang only posted one video.
And Xue Jiajia, who has posted more than 50 outfit videos, now has only 600,000 fans.
Shao Yang endured his excitement, walked to the computer in his pants, turned on Penguin Music, and looked at the comments under the actor's song.
[It's so distracting, I cried most of the night, and I fell asleep after a single loop last night. 】
[The lyrics are too well written, right?,It's recommended to release an album.] 】
[Hopefully, this song will never become paid music.] 】
[Love, love, love. 】
[As a music critic, I think this song can kill more than 80% of the singers in the circle. 】
[It turns out that the details of loving someone can be pretended. 】
["Actually, what I am most afraid of is dragging it", I cried miserably when I heard this. 】
【……】
All praise.
But Shao Yang is not proud, he knows that this is because he is now an amateur, so he can get so much praise.
No matter who it is, no matter what he was like before his debut, as long as he becomes a star after his debut, he will be targeted by people who are red-eyed, these people don't care what your work is, what your character is, anyway, across the Internet, they can spray if they want to, and scold if they want.
This kind of person is the 'keyboard warrior' of the Internet era.
After reading dozens of comments, Shao Yang put on his clothes and went to wash, if he didn't guess wrong, a brokerage company would contact him to sign a contract in the next few days.
But signing a contract now is not a good thing for me.
As a person who has come over, Shao Yang clearly knows that if he signs a contract now, he is not qualified to negotiate terms with the brokerage company at all.
If there is a problem after signing the contract and you don't want to cooperate, you can't afford to pay the default fee, and you may be squeezed and hidden by the company.
In the world before Shaoyang, there were basically lawsuits between artists and brokerage companies every year.
Some companies will even sign a group of newcomers, and then deliberately hang them, and those newcomers will either wait for their youth to run out, or they will spend a huge amount of money to terminate the contract with the company.
No matter which of these two you choose, it will be a loss for the artist.
After washing, Shao Yang took his mobile phone key and went to the breakfast shop at the entrance of the community to eat.
The boss is also a foreigner, and he is also a fellow villager of Shaoyang, since moving to this community, Shaoyang basically eats breakfast here every day.
"Aunt Wang, it's early."
"Early."
"Where's Uncle Liu?"
"Your Uncle Liu is lazy and has a lot of feces and urine, squatting in the toilet."
Listening to the dialect of his hometown, Shao Yang felt very cordial.
"Still mix the crockpot soup today?"
"Let's fry the noodles."
Four yuan a piece of mixed noodles, eight yuan a portion of fried noodles, in order to save money before, Shaoyang used to eat mixed noodles, unless it was a birthday or a holiday, he would eat fried noodles.
Aunt Wang, who looked enthusiastic, asked while cooking the fire and stir-frying the noodles: "Xiaoyang, I haven't seen you bring your girlfriend over for a long time, how are you two doing?" ”
"We broke up."
"Broke up?"
Aunt Wang took the spatula, turned around and asked, "Why did you break up?" Haven't you been good for years? ”
"Maybe it's because I don't have any money."
"Ouch." Aunt Wang suddenly felt distressed and said: "That girl is too visionless, you are so upright, tall, and have a good character, you will definitely get better in the future." The current girl is not good, she can only see what she is looking at in front of her, when I am with your Uncle Liu, his poor pot can't be opened, so I still marry him. ”
"I'm still young, don't worry, let's earn money first."
"If only you could think so." After Aunt Wang beat an egg, she put some shredded meat in the pot, and a few minutes later, a bowl of fragrant fried noodles was served in front of Shao Yang.
"Let's eat."
"Hmm."
Add eight pieces of fried noodles and nine pieces of shredded meat.
When Shao Yang finished eating and paying, Aunt Wang asked Shao Yang to pay eight yuan, Shao Yang didn't listen to her, and after paying, he left in a hurry.
When Aunt Wang cleaned up the table, she heard the payment prompt on WeChat, and immediately looked up at the outside, shook her head with a smile, and said, "What a good child." ”
……
Back to the rental house.
Shao Yang continued to use the computer to synthesize the sound recorded yesterday, and at about nine o'clock in the morning, he did a good job of the beat that was not done last night, and as soon as the sound was mixed into the track, the effect came out.
Shao Yang put on his headphones, listened to them once, and felt that there was no problem, but he thought that it was a bit too hasty to send them like this.
So he took out his mobile phone and sent a voice message to Xue Jiajia: "Xue Jiajia, I sent you the second song I made, how about you help me listen to it and give a comment?" ”
Xue Jiajia didn't reply for a long time, Shao Yang felt that she hadn't woken up, so she returned to the Douyin page, ready to read the comments, but a private message in the message caught Shao Yang's attention.
Click on that private message.
[Hello Shaoyang, I am the head of the artist reserve department of Banana Entertainment, I listened to your song yesterday and think you are very talented, do you have any plans to sign a contract as an artist? If so, please contact me:****】
Shao Yang guessed that a brokerage company would look for him, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, so he quickly replied to the message and politely declined.
As soon as he finished sending the message, Xue Jiajia replied to the message.
"You sent it to me."
"Wait." Shao Yang exported the song, and in order to make it easier for Xue Jiajia to listen, he also deliberately changed it to mp3 format.
After sending it to Xue Jiajia, Shao Yang waited quietly.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
Fifteen minutes.
Xue Jiajia listened to it three times before sending an emoji.
It is an anime character who is kneeling on the ground and holding a sign that reads, "Great God, please take my knees." ”
Shao Yang replied: "Then I uploaded it?" ”
Xue Jiajia quickly replied: "Wait, wait, don't send it directly, I'll take a Douyin for you again." ”
"Still shooting? What are you shooting? ”
"Just shoot a video of your cappella, I just took a look, your Douyin fans are close to 400,000, and now short videos are the fastest way to attract traffic, and they can also attract a wave of fans for you."
Xue Jiajia's words made Shaoyang Daigo empowered.
Oh, yes.
In that world, there are many celebrities who are not popular.
But it's useless to be popular, you have to be popular.
Shao Yang immediately replied: "Then do you come to me, or do I go to you?" ”
"Aren't you going to invite me to dinner? Pick a place and we'll meet. ”
"It's better for you to choose, I don't know which restaurant is delicious, I'll just pay."
"Okay, I'll send you the address later, and we'll see you at the restaurant at twelve o'clock."
“Ok!”
