Chapter 20 Ten years ago, you would have been popular, but it's a pity

"Smack!"

The crisp slap was not loud, but it spread throughout the hallway.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, including Wan Xuan herself.

She didn't expect that she would dare to fight Wu Yaozu.

"How dare you hit me?" Wu Yaozu was the first to come back to his senses, his face was hideous, and his eyes were red.

As he spoke, he was about to reach out again to grab Wan Xuan.

Wan Xuan was suddenly very afraid, took two steps back, turned around and ran.

Wu Yaozu immediately wanted to chase after her, but Liu Jie hurriedly stopped her and said, "Xuanxuan is too ignorant, Yaozu, you wait, I'll go and pull her back to apologize to you in person!" โ€

At this time, Wu Yaozu's agent Liu Zhao also reacted and stopped in front of Wu Yaozu.

Liu Jie gave Liu Zhao a look, and then ran out, as if she was going to chase Wan Xuan.

Wu Yaozu had red eyes, like a crazy dog, and he wanted to chase it, but he was stopped by Liu Zhao and several other men.

Liu Zhao said in a low voice: "Are you stupid? Now that you are the number one on the rookie monthly list, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring outside, do you really want to run out and beat Wan Xuan up so that a negative news can be exposed? โ€

Hearing this, Wu Yaozu finally calmed down a little, but he still said ruthlessly, "! Sooner or later, she will kneel in front of me! โ€

On the other side, Liu Jie stopped Wan Xuan before she got into a taxi.

"Get to my car."

"I'm not going!" Wan Xuan struggled.

"I'll send you home!" Liu Jie said loudly, obviously angry.

Wan Xuan finally stopped struggling and followed Liu Jie's car.

But she was still nervous and scared, clutching the car door, ready to jump out of the car at any moment.

Liu Jie glanced through the rearview mirror, sneered, and said, "What, I'm afraid that I will send you to Wu Yaozu to sell?" โ€

Wan Xuan didn't speak.

It's a default.

Liu Jie couldn't laugh or cry, "I'm an agent, not a human trafficker." But if you hit him today, it can be regarded as completely ruining your chance, what are you going to do? โ€

"You're not angry?" Wan Xuan asked an irrelevant question.

Liu Jie said: "Why aren't you angry? But what is the use of me being angry that it has already happened? In addition, there is something wrong with me today, and I shouldn't force you to pass. โ€

Hearing this, Wan Xuan finally felt a little relieved, thinking that Liu Jie must have said a lot of good things in front of Wu Yaozu for her business, and she couldn't help but feel guilty.

"I'm sorry Sister Liu."

"Don't say that, I'm really sorry for you." Liu Jie sighed, "When you stood out as the fifth place in the National University Campus Singing Competition, I signed you into the company.

In the past two or three years, I have not won good resources for you, and Shengsheng has delayed you.

You have such a natural and unique voice, which is not similar to that of today's female singers.

If it was placed more than ten years ago, it didn't need any very good songs, or even much promotion, and it would have become popular as soon as you sang it.

It's a pity, it's not more than ten years ago, singers can't stand out if they don't have a good voice and good singing skills, the important thing is that someone has to push them behind. โ€

Hearing these words, Wan Xuan suddenly felt very uncomfortable and wanted to cry.

She thought for a moment and said, "However, there are also some independent musicians who have become famous." โ€

Liu Jie noticed Wan Xuan's pitiful appearance and couldn't bear to hit her, but felt that it was necessary for her to understand the cruelty of this society as soon as possible, especially the entertainment industry.

"First of all, not all indie musicians are truly independent, maybe they have a background behind them that you don't know about, and there are people behind them.

Secondly, you only see these few famous independent musicians, and do you notice the many unknown people who have fallen halfway?

What's more, even these independent musicians, most of them only look glamorous and chic on the surface, and only they know how difficult it is behind the scenes.

In the end, there are too few people with that kind of talent โ€“ you have written a few songs, but you're still far from them. โ€

Wan Xuan fell silent.

waited until Liu Jie's car was parked outside the apartment building she rented before she suddenly spoke: "Sister Liu, I want to terminate the contract with the company." โ€

Liu Jie was not very surprised when she heard this, but analyzed: "Although you signed the shortest five-year contract, there are still two or three years left, and if you terminate the contract, you will have to pay at least 200,000 yuan, can you afford it?" โ€

Wan Xuan gritted her teeth, "I can pay it back slowly." โ€

"You want to be an independent musician, don't you?" Liu Jie asked suddenly.

Wan Xuan nodded.

Liu Jie said: "In this case, you don't need to terminate the contract with the company." Even if you can develop as an independent musician, it will take more than two or three years.

So, you can use this time to stock up on songs, hone your singing skills, or do something else.

In this case, you can get a salary and not have to pay the termination fee, wouldn't it be better? โ€

Wan Xuan and Yiguan signed almost the lowest level of contract, with a very small salary, plus various subsidies, less than 5,000 yuan per month.

As a female singer, this amount of money is not enough for daily expenses.

Therefore, even if Wan Xuan has not officially debuted before, she will be arranged by the company to create income for herself and the company at the same time.

Thinking about it calmly, what Liu Jie said made sense, and Wan Xuan said, "I'll think about it." โ€

Liu Jie breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and said with a smile: "You think about it slowly, and I will notify you if there is something in the company." Wu Yaozu didn't have to worry about it, he didn't dare to be too loud. โ€

"Hmm."

ยทยทยท

Back at the rental house, Wan Xuan sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding the computer and turning on the music.

Yiguan is one of the main subsidiaries of Tiannan Entertainment.

As a singer of Yiguan, her new songs are naturally uploaded to Tian Lai Music.

She first found the monthly list of newcomers and new songs (paid) in a place where the platform was not inconspicuous.

Only the top three songs are shown above, and the first place is Wu Yaozu's "Hu Spicy Soup".

The number of downloads of this song has reached 270,000, nearly 100,000 more than the second place, and the first position can be said to be secure, no wonder Wu Yaozu is so proud today.

But the number of auditions is as high as more than 4 million!

Obviously, many people listened to Wu Yaozu's "Hu Spicy Soup" and felt that the quality was not enough, so they were unwilling to pay for it at all.

So why do so many people audition?

Of course, it came through all kinds of propaganda.

And Wan Xuan, as a singer of nature, also knows an inside message: as for the 270,000 downloads, there may be some of them brushed with designated rolls.

"Spicy chicken."

Wan Xuan snorted lightly, clicked on "more" after the third place, and entered the page that only displayed the top ten of the monthly list of newcomers and new songs.

There's no song of hers on it.

She clicked on the "more" in a light font behind the tenth place, and entered a large page showing the top 100 newcomers and new songs in the monthly list.

Where does it appear after a hundred?

Sorry, songs outside of the top 100 don't deserve to be on the charts.

The single sung by Wan Xuan is called "Forget Worries Grass", ranking 22, which is not too low.

However, the ranking has all but eliminated her hopes of breaking into the top 10 โ€“ even if it is only a third of the way through this month.

Because under normal circumstances, even if there are dark horses that later rush into the top ten, they are basically in the top 20.

She's too far behind.

What's more, she can't exert any strength.

Silently staring at "Forget the Worry Grass", refreshing the page from time to time, Wan Xuan really hopes to see the ranking of "Forget the Worry Grass" rise after the next refresh.

can be refreshed more than a dozen times, and the Forget Worry Grass is ranked 22nd, motionless.

She refreshed it again, and suddenly leaned closer to the screen and widened her eyes.

"Dropped?"

Her face was full of sorrow.

didn't wait for the ranking to rise, but "Forget the Worries" fell to 23rd, allowing a song "Old Boy" that appeared out of nowhere to occupy the original position.

After staring straight for a minute, Wan Xuan unwillingly swiped the page again, and her eyes widened again.

"Old Boy", which squeezed out her ranking, is gone!

But her "Forget Worries" ranking not only did not recover, but dropped one place to 24th.

What's going on?

Wan Xuan's widening eyes were full of doubt.
