Chapter 134: Song Selection and Big Brand Endorsements

Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong ......

There was a continuous prompt sound on the mobile phone, and Fang Xing picked up the mobile phone and saw that it was Li Caiwei's information.

Click on it and take a look, six photos in a row, all of which are food.

Braised fish, braised chicken, pineapple fried rice, stuffed tofu with meat foam and other six dishes are all dishes.

Fang Xing: What are you doing? Changed careers to become a chef?

Li Caiwei: Sister Hong has negotiated a fill-in contract, I want to invite you to dinner, cook it yourself, and you order three dishes.

Fang Xing: Stuffed tofu with meat foam is good, you can do whatever it takes.

Li Caiwei: Then I'll pick my best, will I be free tonight?

Fang Xing: It's okay tonight.

Li Caiwei: Then let's say okay, dinner will start at 6 o'clock, and the address will be sent to you later.

Six o'clock in the evening.

Fang Xing drove to the riverside courtyard where Li Caiwei lived, then bought a fruit basket downstairs and carried it upstairs.

Ding Dong!

Fang Xing rang the doorbell and didn't wait long.

The door opened, Li Caiwei wore an apron, and beckoned: "Come in, you can eat immediately." Little bean sprouts, get that new pair of slippers for your uncle. ”

Xiao Dou Sprouts was wearing a princess dress, tied two small pigtails, grinned, ran over to open the shoe cabinet, took out a pair of big slippers from the top layer, squatted down and put them in front of Fang Xing.

After taking the slippers, the little bean sprouts shyly ran back to the kitchen and stared.

Fang Xing changed into slippers, put the fruit basket on the dining table, and walked over to pinch the face of the little bean sprouts: "It seems to have grown taller." ”

"The child is like this, one day at a time, and if I don't see him for a while, I feel a lot older." Li Caiwei continued to work in the kitchen, and her movements were very skillful, obviously she did not learn to cook.

Little Bean Sprout tilted his head, raised a finger, and said in a milky voice: "I have grown a centimeter taller, and I will grow a little taller every day, and soon I will be as tall as my mother." ”

"How can it be so fast, you sticky pimple, Mom will have to worry about you for at least twenty years." Li Caiwei said that she was worried, but her tone was full of happiness.

"I'll grow up soon." Little Bean Sprouts said with a determined face.

"You take your uncle to wash his hands." Li Caiwei commanded.

Little Bean Sprouts ran out of the kitchen, ran into the bathroom door, pointed to the sink and said, "Here." ”

Fang Xing walked over and turned on the faucet.

Little Bean Sprouts stood aside, stretched out his hand and pointed to the bottles and cans on the sink, and said, "This one is for washing hands, and that one is for bathing......"

Fang Xing squeezed a little hand sanitizer, and after washing his hands, he asked, "What about you?" Have you washed it? ”

The little bean sprouts were not as high as the countertop of the pool, and they all said, "Grandma hugged me to wash, grandma is not at home today." ”

Fang Xing picked her up, carried her to the front of the sink, and said, "Is this okay?" ”

The little bean sprouts rubbed their hands seriously, and after rubbing the palms and backs of their hands, they said, "I'm done." ”

Fang Xing let her down, and when she walked back to the living room, the dishes had already been served.

A steamed sea bass, a pineapple fried rice, and a pot of fragrant chicken soup.

Li Caiwei wore heat-insulated gloves, took out a plate from the steamer, brought it over and said, "The tofu stuffed with meat foam you ordered, and a stir-fried greens, if you are hungry, you can start." ”

After saying that, she went into the kitchen again, patted the garlic, and prepared to fry the greens.

The fried sweet potato leaves are hot, so you should save it for the end.

Little Bean Sprouts came over and pulled Fang Xing's hand.

Fang Xing lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Little Bean Sprouts pointed to the sterilization cabinet and said in a milky voice: "I can't get it." ”

Fang Xing walked over, took out three pairs of bowls from the disinfection cabinet and quickly put them away, then held Xiao Bean Sprout's armpit and carried her to sit in her children's chair.

Next, just wait for the meal.

The sweet potato leaves are fried quickly and come out of the pan in a few minutes.

After serving it on the table, Li Caiwei beckoned: "You eat first, don't wait, the dishes are ready." ”

She said as she went back to the kitchen, turned off the range hood, cleaned up the waste, wiped down the eucalyptus, and then washed her hands and prepared for dinner.

"Try it, it's all home cooking. Are you going to eat first, or do you want to drink soup first? Li Caiwei took the bowl in front of Fang Xing.

"Let's eat." Fang Xing is used to eating first.

Li Caiwei filled a bowl of rice, put it in front of Fang Xing, and then filled herself with a bowl of soup: "I'm used to drinking soup first, you can eat it quickly." ”

She greeted her daughter as she peeled the chicken, chopped it with scissors, and put it in a bowl of small bean sprouts.

Fang Xing first tasted a piece of stuffed tofu with meat foam, nodded and praised: "It tastes great." ”

Li Caiwei said with a smile: "Little bean sprouts also like to eat this dish, but she only eats the stuffing, and grandma also helps her eat the leftover tofu skin, which is spoiled." ”

"The First Evolution"

Little Bean Sprouts pouted and argued, "I don't, I eat the skin." ”

Li Caiwei's scissors, cut a piece of meat foam tofu, and put it into the bowl of small bean sprouts: "Uncle came to eat today, if you lose your temper, it won't be cute." ”

Little Bean Sprouts pouted and muttered, "I didn't lose my temper." ”

As he spoke, he began to use a spoon to pick up the dishes in the bowl.

Fang Xing looked at the appearance of the little bean sprouts, and thought it was very cute, sandwiched a ball of sweet potato leaves, tasted it with rice, and said, "The heat is well mastered." ”

Stir-fried sweet potato leaves is a very home-cooked dish.

It seems very ordinary, but it is very powerful.

Because of this dish, the grasp of the heat is very important.

After boiling for a long time, the sweet potato leaves will turn black and soft.

The heat is not enough, and it is too raw.

So, although this dish is simple, it is difficult for novices to grasp.

After eating a bowl of rice, Fang Xing filled a bowl of soup and began to talk about business: "Sister Hong has already talked about the fill-in place?" ”

"Yes, it has been negotiated, and the contract will be signed tomorrow. Originally, I couldn't talk about it, but it was still up to you, you promised to help me produce the song for the competition, and the program team agreed. Li Caiwei was very happy in her heart.

"When will I be recording?" Fang Xing asked again.

Although the quota of the fill-in singer has been negotiated, if you sign the contract now, you may not be able to catch up with the recording of the next episode.

There are still four days left before the recording of the next issue of "Singing".

The singers' schedules are set one month in advance, and even if they are temporarily filled, they will be two weeks in advance.

The "Singing" program team will not do such a hasty thing.

Li Caiwei replied: "After two weeks to participate in the recording, I will record the fifth episode." “

The show "Singing" will only eliminate the first singer once every two episodes, so the fill-in singers can only join every two episodes.

Fang Xing nodded and said, "This time is more relaxed, do you know the rules for selecting songs in the fifth phase?" ”

"Not yet, after signing the contract, the program team will notify me." Li Caiwei replied.

"After I know the rules for choosing songs, I'll think about what song you want to sing." Fang Xing said.

"Good. Actually, my initial idea was that I could sing "Painting Heart" in the first issue. I just don't know if the character doesn't fit the theme of the competition. Li Caiwei said.

""Painting the Heart" can also be decided, depending on the situation at that time." Fang Xing was not in a hurry.

Now "Singing" has only been recorded for two episodes, and there are still more than two weeks before the fifth episode.

After eating.

Little Bean Sprouts pulled Fang Xing and lay on the sofa together to watch TV.

watched a very young cartoon, and Fang Xing still watched it with relish.

Li Caiwei washed the fruit, cut it and brought it to the coffee table.

Little Bean Sprouts shouted, "Mom, watch Mommy sing." ”

"Isn't it every day? I won't watch it today. Li Caiwei said.

"Look, I'm going to see my mom sing." The little bean sprouts began to be coquettish.

Li Caiwei had no choice, so she opened the video of "Red Ling" and showed it to her.

"Painting the Heart" also has a movie trailer, but it is the story of Liaozhai, and Li Caiwei has not shown it to her daughter.

Li Caiwei used a toothpick, inserted two apples, and handed the little bean sprouts: "Give one to my uncle." ”

Little Bean Sprouts tilted her head and fed the apple to Fang Xing's mouth before eating her own piece.

After eating the fruit, the little bean sprouts also had to perform a show, dancing the program "Firefly" at the kindergarten party.

Looking at the cute appearance of the little bean sprouts, Fang Xing was a little distracted.

In fact, in his previous life, he was only one step away from starting a family.

If you really got married in your last life, you should have such a cute child, right?

It's just that meeting the right person at the wrong time is the biggest regret in my last life.

In the relationship in his previous life, Fang Xing also dreamed of life with her after marriage.

Give birth to a lovely child and live a happy and fulfilling life.

It's just that life is realistic.

Two families, not so well matched.

Fang Xing finally chose to join the musical troupe, hoping to make achievements sooner.

It's just that it's too late.

That period of working in the musical troupe, after all, I could only survive alone.

When I finally got a role in the Cantonese version of the "Midnight Canteen" musical, and my career began to improve, that relationship had already changed.

No matter how powerful it is in the musical theater industry after that.

What is past is over after all.

The happy life I once longed for has long since disappeared from me.

Since then, I don't dare to imagine what it looks like to be a family baby.

The beauty that only existed in the dream of the past has become a regret forever.

Watching the little bean sprouts dancing the cute "Firefly" in front of him, Fang Xing thought of the theme of the next issue of "Singing", and also thought about what song to sing.

A song that tells a heartfelt story with the title song.

This song is very peculiar, when I listen to it, I think it is not difficult to sing, but when I sing it, I find that it is not easy to sing.

The lyrics are realistic, with concise words, telling a deep story.

This is a song that the more you sing it, the more flavorful it becomes, and the more you listen to it, the more painful it becomes.

After leaving Li Caiwei's house, Fang Xing returned to his residence and began to compose music, and in the middle of the night, alone, playing the guitar, singing this song to himself.

……

The next day.

Fang Xing received a WeChat message from his agent Qiao Yinghong, saying that he had a work meeting and wanted to go to the company.

Normally, if there is no notice, Fang Xing will not go to the company.

I need to attend today's work meeting, so I arrived at the company early in the morning.

The agency team of the individual studio has been formed, and the studio now has six staff, responsible for operations, business negotiations, and performance planning for the studio's artists.

After Fang woke up, the meeting began directly.

Qiao Yinghong announced a thing: "Boss, you said to minimize endorsements and advertising shooting, but this brand endorsement can't help but be accepted, the international brand men's Baoboli."

"I'm in talks with the distributor of Bembray in Asia, but I haven't talked about it yet.

"Because we have two or three competitors, plus the boss is only airing one show at the moment.

"If it is after the broadcast of "Singing", I will talk about this endorsement, and I am absolutely sure that I will take it.

"Right now, the competition is strong.

"One of the strongest competitors, the boss also knows, is Liu Hongsheng.

"At present, Baoboli is more inclined to find Liu Hongsheng as an endorsement, and feels that the boss's qualifications are a little shallow."

Since opening his own studio, the employees of the studio have called Fang Xing the boss.

At the beginning, Fang Xing was still a little unaccustomed.

Only Guo Keda is still called "Brother Fang".

Now the studio's brokerage team is led by Guo Keda.

His name is "Brother Fang", and he can indeed establish prestige in front of other employees.

After listening to Qiao Yinghong's story, Fang Xing probably knew what was going on.

Baoboli is indeed an international brand, not only for men's clothing, but also for women's clothing and bags.

Bemballi's international presence is significant.

It can even be said that endorsing Bobeli can even improve the star's compulsion.

Fang Xing said strangely: "I have the impression that Baoboli has always followed a mature and stable style. I clearly don't quite fit their requirements. ”

Although it has become the top stream, so far, only one program "Rising Star" has been broadcast.

And this show is still a men's team draft.

In terms of grade, it is not enough.

Therefore, in terms of qualifications, it really does not fit the style of Bobble.

Qiao Yinghong nodded and said, "Indeed, Baoboli has always followed a mature and steady style before. However, at this year's International Fashion Week, the new collection launched by Bobelje is in a young style.

"This has to do with the new chief designer hired by Baopali to design a more avant-garde design style.

It also makes Bemblyt's new collection this year more youthful.

This meant that Burpoli needed to open up new markets for the new designer.

"Therefore, the endorsement fee that has been smashed down is much higher than in previous years.

Since the new series is more inclined to be young and avant-garde, the endorsement of top stars is also within their consideration.

"It's just that there has been no major change in the top management of Baoboli, and there has been no change in the ideas of promotion and endorsement, and it is still uncertain what kind of spokesperson will be chosen in the end."

Fang Xing nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then try to fight for it." If you get this endorsement, you can take it, and it doesn't matter if you can't get it. ”

Fang Xing is not in a hurry, he can't eat a fat man in one bite.

As long as you take one step at a time to call the singer this road, you can't get a big-name endorsement now, and there will be big-name names who will take the initiative to find you in the future.

Therefore, Fang Xing was not in a hurry.

However, Qiao Yinghong was in a hurry.

As an agent, her goal is to monetize the popularity of artists.

"Rising Star" has been over for almost three months.

Now is the tail of the popularity of "Rising Star", and if you want to win the endorsement of big names, now is the last chance.

Qiao Yinghong continued: "There is one more thing, Xu Liren, the music director of Puxiang Records, made an appointment for a dinner, hoping that the boss would appreciate it. ”

"Puxiang Records? Is it the thing about "Painting the Heart"? Fang Xing was a little puzzled.

I had a deal with Puxiang Records before, and that time I was bidding for the theme song of "Liao Zhai's Painted Skin".

Later, Puxiang Records failed to bid, so that time of dealing with Puxiang Records should not be pleasant.

Of course, it's normal for record labels to compete.

Under normal circumstances, a record company will not make a feud because it can't get a list of film and television theme songs.

Qiao Yinghong shook her head and said, "Did the boss forget?" Tianwang Liu Hongsheng's company is cooperating with Puxiang Records. ”

Liu Hongsheng's Hongsheng Entertainment is just a company responsible for operating Liu Hongsheng's personal performing arts resources.

Macro Entertainment itself has no music production capabilities.

Therefore, Liu Hongsheng has always been affiliated with Puxiang Records, and all albums are produced by Puxiang Records.

In a sense, Liu Hongsheng can be regarded as the singer of Puxiang Records.

"Well, I didn't think about it all of a sudden. What do you want to talk about when you ask us to dinner? Fang Xing was a little curious.

"It may have something to do with Baoboli's endorsement, after all, if there are too many competitors, once it reaches the stage of lowering each other's prices, it will not be beneficial to anyone." Qiao Yinghong said.

"And what do you mean?" Fang Xing asked.

"I suggested going to meet Xu Liren of Puxiang Records, the last time the list of "Painting Heart", although we won it by strength, but politely, we should still give them a face. The circle is so big, you can't see you when you look up, it's better to walk the road wider. Qiao Yinghong explained.

"Then let's go have a meal." Fang Xing agreed.

……

Six o'clock in the evening.

Cloisonne Hotel.

Fang Xing and Qiao Yinghong went to the hotel private room together.

As soon as Qiao Yinghong entered the door, she greeted the people of Puxiang Records warmly.

"Mr. Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm getting more and more energetic."

"Mr. Qiao, it's the same, I've been promoted recently."

Flatter each other a few words and sit down.

After tasting all the wine and food, Qiao Yinghong began to ask about the matter: "This time, Mr. Xu invited him kindly, I don't know what it is for?" Doesn't it look like a Burberie thing? I didn't see the agent of Hongsheng either. ”

Xu Liren laughed and said: "Mr. Qiao is too anxious, he is not here to talk about business today, but to contact feelings." ”

Qiao Yinghong said with a smile: "Mr. Xu is a busy man, if he doesn't have something to do, how can he have time to invite us to dinner." ”

Xu Liren continued to smile and said: "It's really not about business, it's about contacting feelings, by the way, ask Mr. Fang, are the songs of the next issue of "Singing" ready?" ”

Fang Xing replied casually: "Almost." ”

Xu Liren picked up the wine bottle, personally poured a glass of wine for Fang Xing, and said, "Are you sure to win the first place in the next issue?" ”

Fang Xing thought for a moment and replied, "I can't be sure, but there should still be a chance." ”

Xu Liren continued: "In the next issue, we will rearrange a love song that is popular all over the country and make a new version of a love song that we gave to Liu Tianwang. The goal is to take the first, and the king is still worthy of a first, right? ”

Qiao Yinghong smiled and said, "Of course, of course, who doesn't know Liu Tianwang's strength and popularity?" ”

Xu Liren continued: "What else is that endorsement, in fact, Liu Tianwang thinks that it can be talked about again, and it can give young people more opportunities." ”

Qiao Yinghong and Xu Liren, you play Tai Chi one by one.

Fang Xing felt a little bored, and he didn't eat much, so he came out to take a breath.

Half an hour later.

After Qiao Yinghong finished talking, she translated Xu Liren's words: "What Liu Hongsheng means over there is that he hopes that we will be a little sharper in "Singing". If the fight is too fierce, it will not look good. If we are willing to back down, the Pauli side can not suppress our price. ”
