Chapter 3 Brokers who do not enter the stream

Despite the shock, Zhou Cheng, as a rookie agent, also thinks that the views of several judges are in line with the same opinions.

After first comforting Lin Shan, he began to contact him with professional training teachers. In the end, he hired a vocal teacher from the Huaxia Conservatory of Music at the price of 1,000 yuan a lesson, and relied on his relationship with Nortel alumni to invite a physical teacher from Nortel to do typhoon training for Lin Shan, and this money was also paid by Zhou Cheng for him.

However, a month later, the top three of the "National Young Singer Championship" were unveiled, and the third runner-up was a folk singer whose qualifications were not as good as Lin Shan, and after the competition, he signed a contract with Modern Music, and it is said that a single has been released.

Zhou Chengtuo inquired about the news and learned that the singer had been signed by Modern Music before the competition, and participating in this competition was only gilded, and winning the third place was the result of their company's public relations, which did not affect the professionalism of the competition, and could have full opportunities to show his face.

This result not only made Lin Shan, who stopped in the preliminary round, dissatisfied, but also caused him to have a disagreement with Zhou Cheng.

"Mr. Liu, who was a judge at that time, still made a lot of sense, as a singer, you still have to rely on basic skills in the end. Haven't you noticed that you've improved a lot over this period of contact? We have to accumulate a lot, and there must be a blockbuster moment. This is Zhou Cheng's view,

Lin Shan completely disagreed: "Those judges are just fooling you laymen, you see what Xu Feng's strengths are, he can only play simple chords even on the guitar." The lyrics are also written in bullshit, but the judges actually said that his songs are very poetic. It's complete fucking nonsense. ”

This was the first disagreement between Zhou Cheng and Lin Shan, and Zhou Cheng also understood Lin Shan's eagerness to become famous, so he took the initiative to give in and began to contact him with other notices.

As a member of Beipiao, Lin Shan didn't have much savings, and since he signed a contract with Zhou Cheng, he rarely went to the bar to sing, and cut off his income in this area. Now his life is funded by his girlfriend Fang Qianqian, who works part-time and takes self-study exams at the same time, which makes Lin Shan, who has always been a man, feel a little inferior.

Zhou Cheng, who understood Lin Shan's predicament, began to contact him for a second notice, and finally met Zhang Jun, the planner of Mango Satellite TV's variety show department, through an alumnus's introduction. helped Lin Shan qualify for the "2007 Super Boy" Quancheng Division.

Many viewers who don't know the truth may think that Mango TV's variety show belongs to the national talent show, but this is not necessarily the case. The top few of such variety shows are basically determined in each sub-division, and they are either singers who have signed or intend to sign contracts with the organizer Tianyu Media, or they have signed contracts with other record companies that have great interests in Tianyu Media. Even if there are a few real civilian singers, they will stop at the top 32 after advancing to the main competition.

Zhang Jun's favor to the alumni behind Zhou Cheng is only one of the top 32 in the country.

After all, after the phenomenal explosion of "2006 Super Girl", "2007 Super Girl" has also attracted the attention of audiences across the country, and the top 32 players who can go to Star City to participate in the finals of Mango Satellite TV also have a very high exposure rate. Even if they are eliminated in the subsequent competitions, there will be a repechage match in the lower bracket, a repechage match in the audience voting, etc., plus the opportunity to participate in the warm-up of the finals, singing and other links, which will greatly increase the popularity of the contestants.

According to Zhou Cheng's plan, after the game, Lin Shan was also a little famous. Through his connections in the school, he contacted some alumni and tried his best to help Lin Shan get the singing qualifications for some film and television drama episodes and ending songs, so that he could support himself first. In another two years, when he really gets a foothold in this circle, he will try to release a single. Now that the Internet has begun to become popular, the release of singles can be done through online music platforms, rather than being monopolized by record companies such as Baina, Modern, Maihe, and Tianyu. After Lin Shan can officially get on the road, he also has a certain amount of experience and contacts, and when the time comes, he can get some student brokerage contracts with good qualifications through school resources and officially enter the film and television industry.

However, plans have not kept up with the changes.

"What I want to challenge is Chen Haoming in the Chang'an Division!"

In the Quancheng competition, according to the pre-formulated plan, in the 50-in-10 competition, Lin Shan, as the first place in the repechage group, entered the top 16 of the division. In the subsequent "48 Hours Challenge", Lin Shan only needs to challenge the weakest singer in the Chang'an Division to qualify for the final of Mango Satellite TV. Lin Shan didn't know which tendon was wrong, and challenged Chen Haoming, who was the most popular in the Chang'an Division and had signed a contract with Maihe Music, and was almost the top five in this year's "Super Boy".

This game is a linkage live broadcast of the six major regions, and when he heard Lin Shan's challenge application on the stage, Zhou Cheng, who was sitting in the audience, fell on the spot. All my beautiful ideas are like a beautiful soap bubble, bursting in the sun.

"Zhou Cheng, can't you even control your own artist? That's the end of his game! Zhang Jun shook his head and turned to leave, the favor had been given, Zhou Cheng didn't grasp it well, so it was no wonder that he Zhang Jun.

"You got kicked in the head by a donkey? I'm not telling you that Chen Haoming belongs to the internal contestants, let you challenge Chang Yan, how dare you make your own decisions? After being lectured by Zhang Jun, Zhou Cheng found the self-righteous Lin Shan.

"I believe in myself, don't you see the audience cheering for me?" Lin Shan disagreed with Zhou Cheng's reproach, pointed to the tens of thousands of spectators under the stage and said confidently that he had been lost in the illusion created by the program team.

Sure enough, Lin Shan's challenge, which was like a moth to a fire, set the biggest disparity in this competition, 980,000 to 4,060, and Lin Shan's SMS support rate was not even a fraction of Chen Haoming's, becoming the laughing stock of this competition.

"Xiao Zhou, thank you. Your artist has directly helped us Haoming increase his popularity, and now our company is ready to increase investment in him. No way, even if it's the same company, the competition between brokers is fierce. If Haoming can win the final championship, Lin Shan's contribution is indispensable. After the challenge, Chen Haoming's agent Cheng Kai of Maihe Music found Zhou Cheng and handed him a business card, his words were full of unconcealable excitement and ridicule of Lin Shan: "This is my business card, if you have a place to use your brother in the future, say it directly, my brother will never refuse." ”

Although the result of politeness was the business card handed by the other party, Zhou Cheng did not give the other party any smile during the whole process.

Perhaps feeling a little carried away, Cheng Kai then taught Zhou Cheng some of his own experience: "As an agent, the most important thing is to control our own artists, otherwise the artist will cause trouble in three days, and we can only follow him behind the ass to extinguish the fire, how can we have time to help him contact the notice?" ”

Whether it was Zhang Jun or Cheng Kai's words, it was deafening for Zhou Cheng, and it also made Zhou Cheng begin to seriously consider the cooperative relationship between himself and Lin Shan. Is he too indulgent to Lin Shan, because he doesn't have anything in his hand that can hold the other party, which makes him a little reckless.

Even though this is due to Lin Shan's casual personality, there is also the reason why Zhou Cheng himself is too young. So even if Zhou Cheng helped Lin Shan receive a notice, he didn't choose to tell him, but prepared to hang him, so that he could get angry and realize his mistake before he spoke.

It's just that I didn't expect that before this Zhou Cheng could start to implement, this body would be occupied by him from another parallel world.

Now Zhou Cheng has been up and down in the system for many years and after the chaos in the entertainment industry, he understands the true connotation of this circle. So he won't continue to indulge Lin Shan like that Zhou Cheng, he has to reconsider the trade-offs and make use of his advantages again.

-------- dividing line that is also not in the stream----------------

"It's a freezing night, it's a late night......"

Seeing Fang Qianqian rushing towards Lin Shan, Zhou Cheng couldn't help but shake his head, and when he was about to turn his head and leave, his Nokia mobile phone began to sing Xu Meijing again, oh, it was Xu Qianqian's "It's All Night Return".

"Zhou Cheng, where are you? Come out to eat, Master Chu invites you to ......"
