Chapter 69: The Guest Singer for the Concert

Sunday, 10 a.m.

Zhang Zelin's home.

Zhang Zelin was anxiously circling around the sofa, Mrs. Zhang sat on the sofa drinking milk, raised her eyes to look at her husband, and said, "Don't turn around, I'm dizzy when I turn around." ”

Zhang Zelin frowned and said: "Isn't this waiting for the call, the ratings can't come out, and I can't calm down." ”

Zhang Zelin has been a producer for so many years, has rich experience and strong psychological quality, but this time is different, or rather, this season's "I Am a Big Star" is different.

From the beginning of the knockout round, the ratings of the eighth season of "I Am a Big Star" far exceeded that of previous seasons, and by the time of the rematch, the ratings of "I Am a Big Star" have been ranked among the top five major variety shows in the country in the same period, which is a brilliant achievement that this show has never had.

Regarding the ratings of the next finals, Zhang Zelin is naturally more concerned, not only Zhang Zelin, but also the leaders of the station.

After a few more minutes, in Zhang Zelin's nervous waiting, the mobile phone he held in his hand finally rang.

He looked at the caller ID, it was a call from the ratings monitoring room group, Zhang Zelin took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, put the phone to his ear, and said, "Hey." ”

"Mr. Zhang, the ratings for the finals of "I Am a Big Star" are out." On the phone, the man's voice could not hide his excitement.

Zhang Zelin hurriedly asked: "What are the ratings?" ”

The voice on the phone was also full of excitement, saying, "The average rating is 2.24 percent, and the highest rating is 2.41 percent!" ”

Hearing the other party say the ratings of the finals of "I Am a Big Star", Zhang Zelin was suddenly shocked, and there were only three words left in his mind in an instant, "Break two!" ”

A variety show interface with ratings exceeding 2%, even if it is placed on strong local TV stations such as Shonan TV and Beijing TV, it is enough to become a trump card program.

And Hedong Provincial TV has not produced a variety show with a rating of more than two for many years.

This is also the pinnacle of Zhang Zelin's production career!

"Really? You're not counting wrong, are you? Zhang Zelin couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Zhang, we were also taken aback when we counted this rating, and then rechecked it five times, it was all this rating, there is no statistical error, it is because your program this season is of high quality, and the audience likes it!" A colleague from the ratings monitoring department of Hedong Provincial TV explained to Zhang Zelin.

"Hahaha, okay, thank you, Team Leader Wang." Zhang Zelin was in a good mood and thanked his colleagues on the phone.

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Zelin clasped his hands and jumped up excitedly, completely different from his usual calm and mature middle-aged image.

Next to her, Mrs. Zhang, who was sitting on the sofa, was stunned for a while, and realized that the reason why her husband was so excited should be that the ratings of the finals of "I Am a Big Star" came out, and they were still very high, she opened her mouth and asked, "Husband, the ratings of the finals are out?" ”

"It's out."

"How much?"

"Two .24 percent."

"Huh? So high! ”

When Mrs. Zhang heard the ratings of the finals, her eyes couldn't help but widen.

......

......

Beijing, Midsummer Entertainment Company.

Zhao Lan, director of the artist management department, is in the office.

Qin Meng, director of the public relations department of Midsummer Entertainment Company, sat opposite Zhao Lan, with a desk between the two, and two cups of tea were steaming on the desk.

"Mr. Zhao, about She Jia's Shencheng concert, I can only give these in terms of publicity, and if I want more, I have to speak from the boss." Qin Meng said directly.

A few years ago, She Jia was a newcomer to the company, and she threw a lot of resources on her, hoping that she could become a new first-line star of the company.

But She Jia was carried away by love, disregarded the interests of the company, and was not active in her work, which made the company's boss extremely dissatisfied.

Zhao Lan nodded and said: "There are too many potential newcomers in the company, She Jia's golden age has passed, let her fend for herself, how far she can develop, depending on her own creation, let's not care about it." ”

In fact, both Zhao Lan and Qin Meng knew that although She Jia had been delayed for a few years, she still had potential, but the boss was not satisfied with her, it was useless to have potential, and the company would not pour a lot of resources into her.

Letting She Jia hold a concert in Shencheng is already Zhao Lan's green light, and it is not worth it to find a boss for She Jia.

"Okay, I won't pay attention to She Jia's affairs anymore." Qin Meng was a little regretful, an artist who was expected to become a first-line or even go higher, was so cool.

But this circle is so realistic and cruel.

After Qin Meng finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Lan and said, "Mr. Zhao, I heard that there will be some changes in the Artists Association recently, do you know what it is?" ”

After staying in this circle for a long time, he will slowly accumulate some connections, and Qin Meng is an executive in a first-class entertainment company, so his network of contacts is naturally very large, and he can hear some rumors in advance.

The Artists Association is not an organization formed spontaneously by people in the entertainment industry, but a real official organization, which is mainly responsible for the entertainment industry.

Zhao Lan frowned slightly, and said: "I also heard some news, but the details are not clear, in recent years, because our country's attention to the cultural industry has been increasing, the actions of the Artist Association are also continuous." ”

Qin Feng said: "Yes, but the changes in the Artist Association are related to our entire entertainment industry, and this still needs to be paid attention to." ”

"Yes." Zhao Lan nodded.

"It's nothing, I'll go back first." After Qin Meng finished speaking, he stood up.

Zhao Lan stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin walks slowly." ”

After Qin Meng left, Zhao Lan sat in his seat and sighed softly.

This circle is really getting more and more turbulent, it used to be like a pool of stagnant water, but now the state has put its hand in, and a series of policy changes have gradually stirred up this pool of stagnant water.

For people with vested interests like Zhao Lan, there is still some discomfort, but it is only uncomfortable.

Qin Meng left from the artist management department, and along the way, he met a girl with a ponytail and a pure and lovely appearance.

"Qin is always good." When Wang Qian saw Qin Meng, she took the initiative to say hello.

Qin Meng saw Wang Qian and said with a smile: "Qianqian, I heard that you went to be a judge for "I Am a Big Star" a few days ago, when did you come back?" ”

"It's been a few days since I came back." Wang Qian said with a smile.

The two men said a few words and then parted.

Wang Qian came to her office, picked up her mobile phone, and dialed Yang Jiang's phone number.

Yang Jiang's contact information, Wang Qian has already obtained it through the "I Am a Big Star" program team.

The mobile phone rang a few times, and the other side of the phone was connected.

"Hey, hello, whoever." On the phone, a familiar voice came from the phone.

Wang Qian smiled: "Yang Jiang, it's me, Wang Qian." ”\\

......

......

On the other side, Yang Jiang's house.

Yang Jiang was slightly stunned when he heard Wang Qian's voice on the phone, he didn't expect that Wang Qian would suddenly call him.

"Teacher Wang Qian, hello." Yang Jiang said in surprise.

Wang Qian smiled: "Yang Jiang, that's the case, I called you because I wanted to discuss something with you and ask you what you think." ”

Yang Jiang didn't know what Wang Qian wanted to discuss with him, and asked, "Teacher Wang Qian, what's the matter?" ”

Wang Qian said: "Do you know She Jia? ”

After Wang Qian asked, Yang Jiang thought of a beautiful woman, he had some understanding of She Jia, or Fang Han sang She Jia's song at that time, Yang Jiang did to understand, at that time, Fang Han sang two She Jia songs in a row on the stage of "I am a big star".

Yang Jiang nodded and said, "I know." ”

Wang Qian continued: "She Jia is a good friend of mine, and she is going to hold a concert recently, she saw a video of you participating in "I Am a Big Star" on the Internet, and wants to invite you to be her guest singer at the concert. ”

Yang Jiang was stunned, he naturally knew what it meant to be a backup singer, but She Jia wanted to invite herself to be her backup singer?

Why?

Although Yang Jiang is very confident in himself, he is also very sensible, and now he is a little shrimp in the entertainment industry, why would a little minion like him be invited to be a guest singer in a concert held by a second-tier singer like She Jia?

Can't it be that she saw her potential at a glance in the vast sea of people?

Yang Jiang was silent on this side, but Wang Qian on the other side was a little anxious, and after giving Yang Jiang more than ten seconds to think, she asked again: "Yang Jiang, are you willing?" ”

Yang Jiang sorted out his thoughts in his mind, combined with some of the information he had learned about She Jia before, guessing that there should be a problem on She Jia's side, and it was likely that he was in a very difficult situation, otherwise, a big coffee like She Jia, who played such an important role as a concert assistant singer, would not have found him.

In Yang Jiang's brain, he quickly made calculations.

She Jia is a second-tier singer after all, both in terms of influence and popularity, it is very high, if she goes to be her assistant singer, there is no doubt that this is pie in the sky, and the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

Of course, Yang Jiang can't think of any drawbacks yet.

Maybe She Jia's popularity in the circle is not good, and now she is underestimated, and no one wants to pull her, but so what, it has little to do with herself.

After thinking about it like this, Yang Jiang no longer hesitated, nodded and agreed, "Teacher Wang Qian, I am willing." ”

Hearing Yang Jiang agree, Wang Qian also breathed a sigh of relief, in Wang Qian's opinion, as long as Yang Jiang is not stupid or does not plan to take the path of an artist in the future, he will definitely agree to come down and go to She Jia's concert as a guest singer, it is not easy to say to She Jia, but for Yang Jiang, it is an excellent opportunity, and it will be beneficial and harmless.

Wang Qian smiled and asked, "Okay, let me ask again, Yang Jiang, how much is your appearance fee?" ”

The issue of appearance fee is also what She Jia is more concerned about.

For She Jia's concert in Shenzhen, Midsummer Entertainment Company allocated not much money, and there were very few funds left to hold this concert, which was far from enough to hire a guest singer with a slightly higher appearance fee.

She Jia originally planned to sell her house and invite a guest singer.

For the appearance fee, Yang Jiang doesn't care so much about it, although he doesn't have much money in his hand now, his family is still there, if he uses the money, his father will definitely give his full support.

Yang Jiang smiled: "Just give the appearance fee casually." ”

Wang Qian thought for a while and said, "Then follow the appearance fee of third-tier artists." ”

One of the reasons why the entertainment industry attaches great importance to coffee positions is also because artists of different levels are different in terms of appearance fees and contract sharing.

Generally speaking, the price of the appearance fee of a third-tier artist is between 100,000 yuan and 500,000 yuan.

Yang Jiang has not yet reached the level of third-tier artists, but Wang Qian feels that after the next artist association updates the list, Yang Jiang's name should be able to appear on the third-tier artist list.

Although Yang Jiang only participated in one "I Am a Big Star", he won the championship of the show, and the songs he used to participate in the show are all original, and the quality is very high, and now it is widely spread on the Internet, the popularity and traffic are not low, and it is not a big problem to enter the list of third-tier artists.

It is also very appropriate to calculate the appearance fee for Yang Jiang according to the coffee position of the third-tier artist, and She Jia can afford this little money.

Yang Jiang didn't know that he had been able to reach the third-tier artist position now, and when he heard that Wang Qian gave him an appearance fee according to the level of a third-tier artist, he couldn't help but feel happy, then take more money, it must be good.

"Okay, thank you, Ms. Wang Qian." Yang Jiang thanked him.

Wang Qian smiled: "It's okay, the main thing is that you are excellent and moved Sister She Jia, but Yang Jiang, if you really decide to become an artist, this is a good opportunity for you, even better than "I Am a Big Star". ”

Yang Jiang nodded and said, "Thank you, Teacher Wang Qian, I will seize this opportunity." ”

Yang Jiang knows that being a singing guest at She Jia's concert has a huge benefit in addition to gaining traffic, popularity and display platform, that is, - lifting coffee!

In fact, he is still just a small character who is not even a third-tier artist, and it can be said that he has no coffee.

But if he is an assistant singer for a well-known second-tier singer, it will invisibly elevate his status.

It's important that at least not so many people call him 'grassroots' anymore.

Wang Qian said: "Let's do this first, I'll give your contact information to Sister She Jia, and then she will contact you." ”

"Okay." Yang Jiang replied.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Jiang sat behind the desk and thought for a while, indeed, as Wang Qian said, this is a rare opportunity for himself.

Ordinary third-tier artists are difficult to get, but now they are falling on their heads.

"This opportunity must be seized." Yang Jiang thought.

He picked up his phone, boarded Weibo, and looked at his ranking in the 'Top Ten Potential Rising Star Voting Activity', which had slipped from 44th to 45th.

If you don't act quickly, as time increases, the popularity of his participation in "I Am a Big Star" will slowly decline, and when the time comes, it is estimated that he will fall to 50 places outside, and he will no longer see his name on the list.
