Chapter 51: Being a Part-time Worker
"Before I say that, I want to ask, what are you doing as an artist, to be famous? Make hay? Or is it for that feeling of being in the limelight? ”
Hearing Zeng Juan's question, Chen Shuren was stunned.
For what?
This question made Chen Shuren fall into deep thought.
In his previous life, he envied those who could stand on the screen in good health, and he was very grateful to those artists and stars who transmitted positive energy.
So he wants to be an artist, he wants to live a colorful life like them, and he also wants to pass on positive energy to others.
In this life, he was in good health and had the existence of the preacher system, and his former dream suddenly became less distant.
For him, it is definitely a lucky thing to be able to realize a dream that was once out of reach.
"Me...... Maybe it's to be famous, maybe it's to make money, or maybe it's to like that feeling of being in the limelight. ”
After thinking about it, Chen Shuren said.
Zeng Juan naturally didn't know what Chen Shuren was thinking, but when she heard Chen Shuren say this, she was relieved.
"I can think that in fact, you are not so urgent about whether you can sign a contract and whether you can be an artist?"
"Only in this way will you want to have a freer contract, and you will refuse again and again, and maybe even if I really take out an S-class contract, you won't necessarily sign it, right?"
When Chen Shuren heard this, he thought about it in his heart and seemed to ...... That's really the case.
Although he yearns to be an artist, he is rejecting the shackles that bind artists.
But the reality is that it's inevitable.
seemed to see Chen Shuren's thoughts, Zeng Juan felt a little confident in her heart.
"If that's the case, I have another path here, which may be more suitable for you."
"What?"
Chen Shuren was curious.
"Come to Skyland and be a composer."
Looking at Zeng Juan's serious expression, Chen Shuren was sure that the other party was not joking, so he thought for a while.
"Why?"
Chen Shuren asked.
"Because of your current fame, you can't support your thoughts."
Zeng Juan's legs were folded, and her hands were covered on them.
"If it weren't for your good performance in Director Wang's show, I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to get a C-level contract, let alone a B-level."
"Why do I keep upgrading my contract? That's because I'm optimistic about your potential. ”
"But to put it bluntly, I'm also gambling, betting that your upper limit is more than a B-level contract, but no matter how much I believe you, I won't give you an S-level contract, because this matter is not played like this."
"It's like buying a lottery ticket, there is 100,000 in the prize pool, my original intention was to make 100,000 yuan with 10 yuan, I may spend a little more money to increase some odds of winning, but I will never take 100,000 to buy this lottery ticket."
"You know what I mean?"
Zeng Juan looked at Chen Shuren and said solemnly.
After a little thought, Chen Shuren nodded.
"A small and big man is a businessman, so S-level contracts are generally prepared for artists who already have corresponding value? Because compared to an unknown newcomer, it is obvious that these people who have proven themselves are more worthy of investment, at least, can they still guarantee the bottom? ”
Zeng Juan nodded.
"That's pretty much it."
"So, Sister Zeng, you asked me to be a composer so that I can first increase my value, which is the so-called, increase the amount of the prize pool? When the prize pool is capped, will you invest more money to make it bigger? ”
Chen Shuren looked at Zeng Juan and nodded, and began to think.
In fact, after thinking about what Zeng Juan said, he already had a final conclusion.
When he gave Han Yan a song before, he asked Chihong and knew that as long as the song was from him, even if it was not sung by himself, he could get a sermon.
Therefore, he thinks the path given by Zeng Juan is feasible.
It's just that in this way, wouldn't you become a worker?
He told Zeng Juan about the idea, but Zeng Juan smiled.
"Do you think artists aren't workers? Except for the top ones, no one can always refuse an event arranged by the company. ”
"However, you don't have to worry, if you join the Tianyu Composition Department, you will definitely not be an ordinary employee, at least a composer at the level of a team leader."
Speaking of this, Zeng Juan remembered one thing.
"By the way, tomorrow is the beginning of November, "The Story of Time" will be released, if this song can remain in the top ten on the new song list, then you are also the group leader with status, if you have three songs in the top three on the new song list, you will directly be promoted to the gold medal composer."
"To become a gold medal composer, the company only requires you to make two songs a year, and the rest of the time, even if you go out to collect style, no one cares, which can be regarded as a part of your so-called freedom, right?"
Hearing Zeng Juan say this, he was a little interested.
Composers are also hierarchical.
There are so many ordinary composers, and many of them may be able to write one or two good songs, but there are very few who can actually make the list and rush to the front.
And above the gold medal composers, there are also small Qu Daddy and Qu Daddy.
At that level, it is basically the existence of others who invite songs, and even entertainment companies such as Tianyu can only maintain the relationship with each other with feelings.
"How about it, do you want to consider coming to the Heavenly Composition Department?"
Zeng Juan looked at Chen Shuren, and there was a hint of hope in her eyes.
In fact, at the beginning, she thought that the most suitable place for Chen Shuren was the Tianyu Composition Department, but the sudden rise of Chen Shuren caught her off guard before, and the rhythm had been following Chen Shuren, so that she didn't sign the other party twice.
When she calmed down and returned to her original thoughts, there was an immediate breakthrough.
If Chen Shuren can become the composer of Tianyu, it will definitely be good for her.
Chen Shuren's talent for lyrics and music, she already has some concepts, as long as Chen Shuren is given time, I am afraid that within two years, he will be able to rush to the gold medal as a composer.
And how old is he?
It's not an exaggeration to say that he can rush Xiaoqu Dad!
Having such a person in Tianyu is of great benefit to both the artists under her and herself.
"When the show is over, I'll give you an answer then."
In the end, Chen Shuren still did not give a definite conclusion.
But when it comes to this, Zeng Juan is also very satisfied.
After that, the two chatted about the launch of the new song and some internal situations in Tianyu.
After the two separated, Chen Shuren suddenly received a phone call.
Looking at the caller ID showing "Mom" on his mobile phone, Chen Shuren suddenly sweated a little in his palms.
But there is always something to face.
So, he pressed the answer button on his phone.
Putting the mobile phone next to his ear, a gentle female voice came from the earpiece, and Chen Shuren's nervous heart suddenly calmed down.
"Xiaoshu, 5,000 living expenses have been called for you, how are you doing recently?"
"Am I alright...... Mother. ”
Everything was so natural, the corners of Chen Shuren's mouth lifted.
"It's okay, by the way, Tingting is okay, right? Two people in a school, you remember to take care of Tingting! When you are an adult, you must be responsible! ”
