Chapter 155: Reasons not to become a singer
"Do you know why I'm looking for you today?"
Seeing Zhang Shengyuan talking about business, Xu Ran no longer thought about the embarrassment when he met Li Zhien for the first time, and thought about it for a while and said, "Is there anything at work that needs to be arranged for me to do?" ”
Xu Ran actually didn't understand why Zhang Shengyuan deliberately called himself over, if it was a matter at work, there was no need to order it in person, not to mention why he was also present when he explained his work?
"Is it work related to Chiennuna, something about the new album?" Xu Ran thought about it and added.
"It's a matter of work, and it has something to do with Li Zhienxi, but it's not the same thing as what you think."
Zhang Shengyuan's answer made Xu Ran even more confused, and he didn't know how to answer.
"I heard that you sing very well?"
Zhang Shengyuan also felt that it was impossible for Xu Ran to know, after all, it was his own whim, so he continued to speak, and glanced at Li Zhien, who was sitting on the side.
Hearing Zhang Shengyuan's question, Xu Ran was stunned for two seconds, and then turned his gaze to Li Zhien, who was sitting on the side.
I heard this, Xu Ran didn't have to think about it to know that there would be no one else except Li Zhien, after all, in Loen's company, except for Li Zhien, no one had heard him sing.
What do you do when you talk about this? Could it be...?
Xu Ran suddenly remembered what Li Zhien had casually mentioned when he was chatting with Li Zhien before.
Sure enough, I only heard Zhang Shengyuan continue: "If I remember correctly, you will be in your senior year at the first university next semester, right?" Do you have any plans after graduation? ”
"I don't know... Have you ever thought about being a singer? ”
Xu Ran was right, singing very well was indeed mentioned by Li Zhien and Zhang Shengyuan when they talked about themselves today.
In front of Zhang Shengyuan, Li Zhien praised Xu Ran to the sky, what "the singing level is definitely not worse than the strength of the singer", "I have never seen such a good singer at his age", and so on.
However, Li Zhien didn't think that what she said was wrong, although she did have a little selfish preference, but she felt that she was exaggerating, after all, Li Zhien had been certified by her own ears, and Xu Ran's singing level was indeed very good in her opinion.
Li Zhien, as a trending female solo who has debuted for so long, is also the company's trump card, and Zhang Shengyuan doesn't question her vision very much.
Moreover, before Xu Ran joined the company, Zhang Shengyuan's old friend, that is, Xu Ran's teacher Li Wenshi, also mentioned that Xu Ran sang very well.
"It's a pity that he doesn't have any opportunities and channels, otherwise I think he has a good chance of becoming a very successful singer..."
Li Zhien's casual mention of this sentence made Zhang Shengyuan think.
Judging from the video data on YouTube and Naver shown by Li Zhien, as an ordinary uploader who is not popular, the singer is just a little-known resident singer, and it is definitely successful enough in terms of single business ability to reach that level of playback volume and popularity.
What's more, Xu Ran's image is nothing to be faulted with, and in terms of personality, Zhang Shengyuan thinks it's also very good when he gets along with each other. All in all, Zhang Shengyuan felt that Xu Ran's hard conditions were absolutely passable.
The only thing that worries is the identity of a foreigner, Zhang Shengyuan, as a native, of course understands the somewhat xenophobic self-esteem of peninsulars.
However, although Xu Ran is not from the Peninsula, there may be obstacles in his identity, but Zhang Shengyuan thought about it, since the current trend group can have popular overseas members, will it be possible for solo singers?
It is somewhat experimental in nature, but Zhang Shengyuan feels that if it is really like what Li Zhien said, the company does not need to spend a lot of money to cultivate for a long time, plug and play, and there is no big loss if it fails.
Singles point to say, anyway, the company's unsuccessful artists are not bad for this one, and the real company's own cultivation is Li Zhien, which is considered successful, and the influential artists under other companies are basically in the acquired subsidiaries.
Besides, even if it is true that the domestic development of the peninsula is not very smooth because of this, as long as the contract is signed, it is not possible to be flexible where to develop.
Take Huaguo next door as an example, there are not many young girls who go here for their dreams, and after a long time of hard training, they debut as idols, and after these difficult years, they are likely to become very popular artists when they return to China.
The company's business in China is not the focus, if you can take this Xu Ran opportunity to develop the market next door, it will naturally be better.
Of course, although he may be too far ahead, this is all Zhang Shengyuan's calculation of weighing the pros and cons in his heart, and it is also the reason why he finally decided to call Xu Ran to ask such a question.
In fact, when Zhang Shengyuan asked the secretary to call Xu Ran over just now, Li Zhien almost guessed Zhang Shengyuan's thoughts.
Li Zhien had proposed it before, but it was also rejected by Xu Ran, but it was a joke at that time, and she felt that if it was a person like Zhang Shengyuan who was in charge of the company's decision-making, maybe Xu Ran would give a different answer.
Li Zhien's little hands clenched slightly, staring at Xu Ran and waiting for his answer, she didn't understand why she hoped that Xu Ran would agree, and even felt a little nervous about it.
"I am very grateful to Minister Nim for his appreciation, and I am flattered to be able to give me this precious opportunity as an intern, but I'm sorry that I don't have the idea of making my debut as an artist, so please forgive Minister Nim."
Xu Ran's will was very firm, and after being polite, he still gave the same answer as when he faced Li Zhien, refusing.
To be honest, Xu Ran is not particularly clear about what Zhang Shengyuan asked, his plans after graduation.
Because of his parents' plans for his training, Xu Ran has not communicated directly with them in the past few months, and it is the last year of college, Xu Ran actually feels that it is necessary to discuss his plans with them.
Maybe it's to continue his studies, maybe it's to go home to inherit the family business, but no matter what it is, in Xu Ran's view, he will eventually return to China for development, and he is not a person who belongs here after all.
Could it be because of this that even if I am in a foreign country, the girls I like are from my own country?
Xu Ran felt that this reason could not be ruled out.
Thinking of Zhou Ziyu and her recently stuffed itinerary, Xu Ran felt very distressed, and her fear of debuting as an artist was deeper.
If you like to sing, you don't have to be a singer to achieve it, if you can't even fully control your life for this, and you're tired, is that still the music you like?
Also, there is a person between the two who is an artist, and it is already so difficult to squeeze out time to meet, if both of them are...
Xu Ran didn't want the mobile phone signal to become the only bridge between himself and Zhou Ziyu.
