Chapter 23: Out of the Circle, Punishment, and Freedom
"200 million liquidated damages can't bind me!" γ
"Ladder Boy, Wonders of the Singing World"
"Suspected of being suppressed by the company, Qi Luo replied with a new song"
Lantian Entertainment: We welcome talented musicians to join, yes, Qi Luo is! γ
"200 million is not a problem, industry celebrities say that at least 5 music companies are willing to pay this money"
What the leaders of Xinghai Records didn't expect was that Qi Luo was out of the circle very quickly.
The last words he shouted out and the singing video that circulated on the spot are really very communicative.
Yes.
The previous song "Medal" can't let Zilo out of the circle.
But stepping on the ladder and singing rock to the company's leaders made Zilo poke the hearts of many ordinary people.
Douyin, Station B, Quick Search, Kiwi Fruit Video ......
When the video of Qi Luo singing was seen by the public along with the hot search, the barrage exploded instantly.
"666, I'd like to call you a firefighter in the music world."
"This is the kid who sang "Medal", it's really urine."
"Damn!! Really strong, is there an official version of this song? I want to download. β
"Leader, 200 million liquidated damages can't bind me, because the labor bunker is gone!"
"Brother, you are the most popular idol in the music world, the most grumpy worker!"
Workers and workers, can you still not be wronged?
But.
There is only one Qi Luo in the world who dares to rent a ladder car and sing rock to the leader on the work bucket.
As a singer, he also dared to shout crazy words to the leader, "200 million liquidated damages can't restrain me".
Storytelling, curiosity, and song quality, Zilo simply pulls everything to the brim.
But when his fans saw these videos, they were very complicated.
They are both proud of their idol's talent and distressed by their idol.
How far does this person have to be forced to do such crazy things?
How far does this man have to be forced to write this kind of rock song?
No more than an hour.
Xinghai Records' official Weibo has been washed away.
"Trash Xinghai, return me Qi Luo!"
"If you don't love it, please let it go and give our family Arlo freedom."
"I don't understand, a singer like Arlo is a treasure in any company, why don't you cherish it?"
"Unscrupulous company, suppress rookie genius singers!"
"Sisters, let's crowdfund to help Arlo terminate the contract, I'll give 10,000."
In the end, fans wanted crowdfunding to help Zilo terminate the contract.
Although everyone can't afford to make up 200 million, as long as other entertainment companies are willing to take over, Qi Luo doesn't have to stay in Xinghai Records.
"Pick up a fart."
"200 million liquidated damages, can the cost be recovered in 5 years? Even if it is a loss, how much money can you make in 5 years with 200 million? β
"100 million can still be considered, and first-line singers should earn back their capital plus interest within 5 years."
"It's a pity that Xinghai Records will definitely not let go."
The people who eat melons are arguing around, but people in the industry are just focusing on it.
Anyone can see that in a short period of time, this news can be searched and the video has been sent to almost all streaming platforms, which must be behind the scenes.
Fools know that this is made by Xinghai Records.
And so it is.
At this time.
Xinghai Records.
Performing Arts Department.
In Zhou Liping's small office.
"Grandma, I'm really fine, I'm just angry, and now the matter has been resolved."
"Well, the publicity done by the company's leaders, it's okay, the company will continue to negotiate the contract with me."
"I know, if it's not good, I'll go back to gnaw on the old, don't worry."
Qi Luo was sitting on the sofa in the hospitality area of Sister Ping's office, talking to her mother on the phone.
It had been more than an hour since he came down the ladder, and he actually felt magical.
Originally.
Qi Luo is planning to turn his face, the song "Stubborn" is simply written to his heart, he has a feeling of not vomiting, unhappy, and uncomfortable not singing.
What I didn't expect was that the world was changing so fast.
Although Xinghai Records, a group of old fritters in the entertainment industry, deserves it very well, they also see the essence of this matter that is worth publicizing.
General Manager Huang Xingyao gave an order, and the company's leaders pinched their noses and made an attempt to publicize Qi Luo.
What "there are competitors in the industry who have prepared 200 million liquidated damages" and other drafts were made by Xinghai Records themselves.
When the publicity plan got unexpectedly smooth feedback, the company's leaders didn't know how to face Qi Luo for a while.
Punish it.
Qi Luo's talent is about to overflow, and Xinghai Records is really afraid that he will throw out all the originals and cause other competitors to be interested in talking about liquidated damages.
And Qi Luo is out of the circle, and he has done a good job in publicity recently, and he can properly become a first-line singer.
Don't punish it.
Qi Luo has done a "big event" that has never been seen in the music industry, and every trace of heat on his body now is exchanged for the face of the high-level executives of Xinghai Records.
In desperation, Xinghai Records could only let Qi Luo rest first.
Superstar Compensation Systemββ
Player: Zilo
Fans: 478569
Credits: 115
Function: [Lottery]
Items: "Flower in the Water (Chinese Version)" song, "Stubborn" song, "Angel Among the Devil" songs......
Qi Luo, who was sitting in the office, could only call and send messages to his family and friends, and then watch the number of fans of the system grow.
In just over an hour after he was out of the circle, the number of fans skyrocketed by tens of thousands.
Looking at the Weibo account, the number of followers is infinitely close to 9 million, and it is estimated that this wave of popularity will inevitably exceed 10 million (4 million water).
"It's just that the speed of points acquisition has slowed down again."
Zilo is a little pity.
He is now a "Cloud Ladder Boy", and the corrupt popularity of passers-by in front of him is now back.
Moreover, the pirated blurry video of "Stubborn" was sent to major websites, as long as everyone who has heard it says that it is good, it is impossible for fans to lose their fans, but a large number of passers-by pay attention to him and even become fans directly.
"Hum~~"
Suddenly.
The phone vibrates.
"Ah Luo, come to Mr. Huang's office."
The voice of the agent Zhou Liping came.
"Okay."
Zilo knew that the company should have a solution to this matter.
Walking out of Sister Ping's office, facing the strange eyes of his colleagues, he soon came to the general manager's office.
"Our ladder boy is here." Huang Xingyao deserves to be the person who can be the general manager, and when he saw Qi Luo, he didn't mean to scold, but pointed to the position in front of him very kindly: "Sit down first, I'll tell you about the next arrangements." β
Brush it up.
The atmosphere in the interior becomes very subtle.
Zhou Liping is Qi Luo's agent, and Qi Luo is a singer who just stood on the ladder and gave the company's senior management a slap, and Huang Xingyao, as the general manager, must give Qi Luo a knife.
To Qi Luo's surprise, Huang Xingyao did not lose his temper, but gave a plan very kindly: "This time the planning of "Cloud Ladder Boy" is the company's final publicity and distribution funds for you, and in the short term, the company will not give you another dime of resources." β
"Mr. Huang......"
Zhou Liping was anxious.
When you are an artist and you don't have the resources to publicize, how can you play this?
"Don't worry, listen to me." Huang Xingyao waved his hand and looked at Qi Luo seriously: "Ah Luo, I understand the thoughts of musicians, so I'll give you a chance." β
"What chance?"
Qi Luo had long been mentally prepared for the punishment that the company would give.
"The company will not prepare funds for you to publicize and distribute funds, you can record songs if you want, run the itinerary if you want to run the itinerary, and accept the commercial performance if you want to receive the commercial performance, but ......"
Huang Xingyao raised his first finger: "First, the company will keep 10% of all your earnings for you, and the money you need to make publicity and record albums needs to come from here." β
Without waiting for Qi Luo to say anything, he raised a second finger: "Second, the songs you created are licensed to other singers in the company to sing, and you still take the income of songwriters normally, and the company will increase the corresponding amount to your 'small treasury' at the same time, and you can also use it for publicity and distribution to make albums." β
Finally, Huang Xingyao smiled slightly: "Personally, I would love to see the scene when the company can't bear the pressure and negotiate a new contract with you, but so far, you haven't done enough." β
"Soon enough."
A strong confidence welled up in Zilo's heart.
