Recently, Lin Shan's fame has risen a lot, and the song "Live Hard" has become the most popular song on major music stations, and many radio stations want to interview Lin Shan, but they are all blocked by Zhou Cheng.

Although Lin Shan had some complaints, he still agreed with Zhou Cheng's statement, and when the monthly competition of "Avenue of Stars" ended, it would be the time for him to accumulate steadily, and he would get more resources and attention than now.

Today, Lin Shan unexpectedly received a phone call and came to a local restaurant called "Northeast Pig Killing Vegetables" near Sanyuan Bridge.

Lin Shan looked at the well-dressed Cheng Kai in front of him, and was a little surprised how he could have his own contact information, and why he invited himself to dinner. And his suit and leather shoes don't match this fly restaurant.

Cheng Kai saw Lin Shan come in, and pointed to the seat opposite him and beckoned him to sit down: "This hotel is a little shabby, Xiaolin, don't be surprised, choose here because my old Cheng is good at this." ”

Lin Shan didn't sit down, but quietly looked at Cheng Kai and asked, "Agent Cheng, I'm not familiar with you." I don't know what you're looking for me? Surely they didn't come to me to show off, I don't have that qualification yet. ”

Chen Haoming won the championship of this year's "Super Boy" the night before yesterday, Cheng Kai should be celebrating, and he shouldn't be here. Lin Shan and Cheng Kai only met once in the finals of the "Super Boy" division, and they didn't think they were the object of the other party's show-off.

"Look at what you said, is my old Cheng that kind of person?" Cheng Kai didn't care about Lin Shan's ridicule: "I only found out in the past two days, it turns out that you are from Yanbian and I am from Hunchun, so let's talk of it, we are still fellow countrymen." ”

"You investigate me?" Lin Shan's voice was much higher, and when he saw the diners around him, he sat down stupidly, looking at Cheng Kai opposite, his eyes were full of unkindness.

"Do you have anything worth investigating, I saw your information when I signed up last time." Cheng Kai shrugged off Lin Shan's threat and waved at the bar.

"What are you going to eat?" The proprietress who acted as a waitress stood at the table of two with a small notebook.

"Have a portion of your family's signature pig-killing dish, add more blood sausage and sauerkraut, and another pot of meat and three fresh." Then he said to Lin Shan: "Xiaolin, do you want to add more?" ”

"Sir, we have a lot of dishes, and if there are only two of you, these three dishes will be enough." The proprietress interrupted Cheng Kai's words very sincerely.

"Okay, order so much first." Cheng Kai handed the menu back to the proprietress, looked at Lin Shan and said, "Next time, I will have a chance to eat her chicken stewed hazel mushrooms, I don't know if there is any taste in our old mountain." ”

Maybe Cheng Kai's absence made Lin Shan really find the feeling of being a fellow countryman, and gradually let go of his vigilance, looking at Cheng Kai no longer so-for-tat: "Agent Cheng, you should follow Chen Haoming to celebrate at this time, how can you have time to find me, a loser?" ”

"Loser? Hehe, I'm the loser. Cheng Kai smiled self-deprecatingly.

Seeing Lin Shan's puzzled gaze, Cheng Kai gave him a cup of tea, although it was only barley tea, Lin Shan still felt respect from Cheng Kai's actions: "When Chen Haoming entered the finals, our company leaders directly took away his brokerage contract, and I am now alone." Do you think I need to celebrate with them? ”

"Didn't you discover Chen Haoming?" Lin Shan asked with some surprise.

"Now his brokerage contract in our company has risen to A-level, and it is no longer something that an ordinary broker like me can control." Cheng Kai watched Lin Shan enter the dice, secretly proud, and introduced his company's artist structure to Lin Shan: "Although I am a little unwilling, but in order to let him have a better development, I handed over his contract to the company, so that he may participate in the Spring Festival Gala this year, and be able to win a Chinese music award next year." ”

"Then aren't you at a loss?" Perhaps it was the overflow of sympathy, and Lin Shan began to grieve for Cheng Kai.

"It's not a loss, the company gave me two million compensation." Cheng Kai pretended to be relaxed.

At this time, the proprietress brought over a large pot of pig-killing vegetables, looked at the two and asked, "What kind of drinks are you going to drink?" ”

"Give me a bottle of black soil in half a catty, and give him a bottle of Yanjing." Cheng Kai took it upon himself to help Lin Shan order a bottle of beer: "You are a singer, you can drink some beer with a low degree of beer, and it is best not to drink liquor." ”

Lin Shan was originally a little unhappy because of Cheng Kai's self-assertion, but after listening to his explanation, he was a little relieved, and he had a little more affection for Cheng Kai in his heart.

"Agent Cheng, I'll take you a cup." Waiting for the proprietress to bring the drink, Lin Shan poured himself a glass of beer.

"Okay, a drink." Cheng Kai picked up his wine glass and said to Lin Shan: "We are fellow countrymen, if you want to look up to me Lao Cheng, you can call me Brother Kai." ”

After the two of them drank a glass of wine, Lin Shan couldn't help but say, "Brother Kai, if you take Chen Haoming's contract, you can earn so much money in a year, right?" ”

"Money is just a number for me." Cheng Kai shook his head: "I have been in this industry for more than ten years, and I have taken Huang Zheng and Sha Liang with me, and I have already earned a lot of net worth." It's not that Brother Kai is bragging to you, I bought two houses in Yanjing. ”

"It turns out that Sha Liang is also an artist in your hands." Lin Shan didn't envy his house, but asked about the artist.

"Yes. The contract has been terminated. Cheng Kai drained the wine in the cup: "Brother, my biggest wish in my life is to be able to bring out a first-line singer, whether it is Huang Zheng or Sha Liang, they are restricted by talent and can't go to the front line." ”

"Now brother, I finally met a singer who has the opportunity to become a front-line singer, and I gave it to the company, brother, I am unwilling."

"You mean Chen Haoming?" Lin Shan said with some dissatisfaction: "His singing skills are not as good as Sha Liang, if it weren't for the addition of this show, he shouldn't have come to the front line." ”

"The current A-list singers are not the same as before." Cheng Kai looked at Lin Shan, who was a little angry, and smiled: "I used to look at the number of music albums released by the singer, and whether he could win professional awards. What is being pursued now is exposure, the number of announcements, and the number of fans? ”

"Exposure?"

Seeing Lin Shan's doubts, Cheng Kai showed a surprised expression: "Your agent hasn't popularized this knowledge with you?" ”

"No, he hasn't been giving me notices lately." Lin Shan hesitated slightly, but still said his current situation.

"Maybe each agent has a different plan for the artist, your agent is a graduate of a film and television school, and he may have his own ideas." Cheng Kai stopped talking, and directly greeted Lin Shandao: "Hurry up and taste it, the blood sausage of this pig-killing dish is very authentic." Food like our Northeast specialties must be made by authentic Northeast people. ”

Lin Shan heard the meaning of Cheng Kai's words, picked up chopsticks and sandwiched a blood sausage, and instead of tasting it, he put it in his small bowl. After being silent for a long time, he looked at Cheng Kai and asked again: "Brother Kai, you are not looking for me today to popularize the knowledge of brokers, right?" ”

"Since you asked, I'll be honest with you." Hearing Lin Shan's doubts, Cheng Kai also put down his chopsticks, took out an agreement from his briefcase and handed it to Lin Shan: "Recently, you have a song that is very popular, and I originally invited you to release a single on behalf of the company." ”

"Releasing a single?"

Lin Shan took the agreement and saw that it was an invitation agreement for the release of a single song stamped with the official seal of Maihe Music. The general content is that Maihe Music is about to release the album of "2007 Music Golden Songs", and wants to include the song "Live Hard" sung by Lin Shan. In return, Maihe Music will pay a one-time copyright fee of Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan's income, this figure is very tempting for Lin Shan, just when Lin Shan was still a little hesitant, Cheng Kai took the agreement back: "I don't recommend you accept it." Because our company is trying to suppress artists who are not our company, you have to sign this agreement, and you will be subject to certain restrictions on singing this song in the future. ”

"Restrictions? This is my own song, am I not allowed to sing it myself? Cheng Kai took the initiative to point out the hidden traps in the agreement, which made Lin Shan a little confused, and looked at Cheng Kai in surprise, waiting for him to explain.

"If you release a single on our side, then your song on other online platforms will be taken off the shelves, so that your download revenue for that song will be gone. And if you want to participate in any performance and sing this song in the future, our company also needs to charge copyright fees. Cheng Kai tore up the recaptured agreement and threw it into the trash: "Because I am a fellow countryman with you, my brother doesn't want to see your development restricted." Today is just to make friends with you, and you can come to me if you have something to do in the future. ”

"Thank you, Brother Kai, I respect you." Lin Shan gave Cheng Kai a glass. He didn't care about the other aspects that Cheng Kai said, but he wanted to know more about the song download income mentioned by the other party.
