Let's talk about reality, if the entertainment industry wants to become popular, there must be at least "two people", one person pulling on the top and one person pushing below......

Xue Zhiqian is talented, and before he became popular, he could only update his jokes on Weibo and pretend to be in the music world.

If it is not the noon high pull, it may take a long time, and the confidence of the noon high is: "sea butterfly".

Jay Chou, the king of Chinese pop, before he became popular, acted as a background board in variety shows, if it weren't for Yang Junrong, there might be no difference between the milk tea wheel and the cake filling wheel.

Yang Junrong became a famous singer in 1985.

A record label is "two people".

But......

The record company is not a charity, it both contributes money and effort, and works hard to make popular singers, and what is paid must be doubled back.

1997 year.

A newcomer, an unfamous singer, the common denominator of the standard contract......

The term is five years/ten years, commercial performances, albums and other income, and the singer will share 5%-10%, which will increase with fame, but will not exceed 30%.

This can be regarded as conscientious, the label also has a kind of contract, the singer just "clocks in to work", the minimum wage standard in Beiping.

If the song is not popular, it is because you don't work hard......

If the song is popular, it has something to do with you!

Dafa's mercy will reward you with a few hundred bonuses, and you can steal the fun yourself!

Xu Chen has been singing for a few months, and he has found more than a dozen label companies to cooperate with, large and small, almost all of them without exception.

If you are a little more generous, the share will be mentioned as 10%, and the condition is to sign a "singer contract".

If you pinch your nose and admit it, you will be sent by the label to sign a "deed of sale" and be a maid in the old days.

That's it......

The label company is the expression of the dead parents: "Xu Chen, this is our first-line singer's share, and others don't have this treatment from you." ”

In this regard, Xu Chen only replied: "Hehe! ”

He is afraid of losing the face of his ancestors, he is "Zhou Peeling......

It's not "peeling the skin"!

…………

"Magic Rock" is the leading label in the mainland, and it has established the "Huaxia Huo" brand to operate Chinese rock music mainly in Beiping.

The origin of the name "Magic Rock", according to Zhang Beiren, he hopes to do a career beyond "Rolling Stone" in the mainland.

More magnificent than "stone" is "rock". Compared with the "famous and decent" in the market, he is more like a "demon cult" who excavates works that are "doubted" and "denied" by the market.

Xu Chen said to give "Magic Rock" a chance to hug his thighs.

Not bragging.

1996 year.

After "Magic Rock" launched the album "Huaxia Fire 2", with the loneliness of "Magic Rock Three Heroes" and "Wu Bai", the development of Magic Rock has shown a declining trend.

Ultimately.

It was officially closed in 2001.

Xu Chen needs the mature channel distribution resources of "Magic Rock", and "Magic Rock" needs a singer who creates a new era.

It's a match made in heaven!

And.

Zhang Beiren calls himself a "man in the Demon Sect", and his vision must not be as short-sighted as the likes of the dog and the fly camp!

…………

Dusk sinks in the west, and the horizon of Beiping City is infinitely farther away.

The balcony faces south, the evening breeze is pleasant, Zhou Xun takes care of the nest very carefully, the planted green plants and flowers are luxuriant, full of greenery, and the stumps and leaves are trimmed.

On the balcony there are two hanging chairs and a strangely shaped tree stump.

Xu Chen came for the first time, but he was not timid at all, he had a sense of ownership, and greeted Zhang Baoren, Tian was shameless: "Mr. Zhang, please sit, I can't hide it, my idol is Li Zongsheng."

Li Zongsheng and Luo Dayou are both the "godfathers of music" in the Chinese music scene!

"My brother is indeed a very accomplished musician." Zhang Beiren respected Li Zongsheng very much, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, seeing that you are not very old, you can make a song like "The Rest of Your Life", which is really amazing. ”

Zhang Beiren folded his hands, leaned forward slightly, and said, "Mr. Xu, how long have you been in Beiping?" ”

"Three years." Xu Chen felt bad in his heart.

There is skill in negotiation.

Zhang Baoren understated a few words, and there was only one meaning: "Xu Chen is young." ”

With your hands folded and your body leaning forward, this posture is very oppressive when it comes to negotiation.

Sample.

Xu Chen has never been afraid.

The body also leaned forward, the tip of the nose of the two of them was nose to nose, their eyes were facing each other, and the folds on Zhang Yuanren's face were seen.

Xu Chen was alarmist: "Mr. Zhang, the magic rock is sick!" ”

“……”

Zhang Beiren retreated, leaning against the back of the sling chair, a little uncomfortable.

Asked with interest: "Mr. Xu, I heard that you are going to release an album, I thought you would sell the album, but I didn't expect Mr. Xu to be very old, and he still treats diseases and saves people?" ”

"Does Mr. Zhang want to listen to my album, or do you want to hear me cure the sick and save people?"

Xu Chen attacked: "Mr. Zhang, Magic Rock is the holy land of "rock and roll", but now in the mainland, there is no soil for rock and roll to grow, Mr. Zhang must be clear,"

"Mr. Xu wants to say, your album can cure the magic rock?"

There are a lot of records to sell in Magic Rock, dozens of them a month......

Xu Chen is so arrogant, Zhang Peiren has never seen it!

He smiled suddenly, straightened up, and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Xu, why do you think that your album can be popular, even if you are right, Moyan has a disease, how do you think that your album can save Moyan?" ”

"Because I'm Xu Chen." Xu Chenyun was light: "Mr. Zhang, you can see me, isn't it because I can!" ”

Needle tip to edge.

"Mr. Xu, you are too arrogant." Zhang Beiren shook his head: "No one can say for sure that their album will be popular, Mr. Xu is just a newcomer, but his tone is bigger than that of the king and queen, to put it mildly, Mr. Xu thinks who he is, you are just a newcomer!" “

Xu Chen didn't speak.

His request is destined not to be a "deed of sale" for ordinary newcomers!

If you want to snatch food from the blood mouth of a big label like Magic Rock, weakness and prayer have no effect.

The more Xu Chen pretended, the more Zhang Yuren would not despise him.

Geniuses are arrogant!

The hour hand ticks and ticks.

Ultimately......

Zhang Baoren's cold face disappeared, he smiled, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, you are really young and frivolous, Dou Wei was not as arrogant as you back then, you are right, Moyan does have plans to absorb fresh blood, Mr. Xu's singing and creative talent are exactly what we need." ”

"Mr. Xu, tell me about your conditions."

Zhang Beiren relieved his mouth, Xu Chen's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and the lion opened his mouth: "Brother Zhang, in fact, my conditions are very low, I hope to develop my first album with your company, and we can divide it into 46 accounts." ”

"46, too little, at least 37." Zhang Peiren frowned, the company is 6 percent, it is absolutely impossible!

"Brother Zhang, you misunderstood, I mean I'm 6, you 4."

"What, you say it again?"

Zhang Beiren almost couldn't sit still, his eyes glared at Xu Chen, he didn't expect Xu Chen to be so crazy.

A newcomer, the treatment wants to be comparable to the king and the queen.

Who do you think you are?

46！

You think it's a pose, you can pose if you want!

"Xu Chen, 28, you 2, Magic Rock 8, the album is not a small number, you are a newcomer, Magic Rock can make it to this point, it is already pulling down the bottom line."

Zhang Peiren said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for your "The Rest of My Life" and "Today I'm going to Marry You", it would indeed be a rare good song, Xu Chen, with your kind of thinking, Moyan would never waste any time on you." ”

"28 is not low, Xu Chen, you are a newcomer, don't care too much about interests in the first album, with the strength of Magic Rock and Rolling Stone, I believe that you can become a new generation of leading singers in the mainland, and even, across the Taiwan Strait, Southeast Asia, Europe, as long as there are Chinese, you can have your singing voice."

Zhang Beiren persuaded bitterly: "Xu Chen, you are valuable, but not as valuable as you think, don't miss the opportunity." ”

…………

"Arrogant, too arrogant!"

At night. Magic Rock HQ.

Zhang Xiangren calmed down in the office for a night, especially puzzled, in the dead of night, the dogs were sleeping.

dialed Dou Wei's phone, and as soon as he connected, Zhang Beiren was furious: "Who does he think he is, 46 accounts, Wu Bai's first album that year, can only get 5,000 yuan, is he more popular than Wu Bai, he is a rookie singer, why did he refuse my olive branch, why did he tell me the conditions, who did he think he was!" ”

"I don't know how thick the sky is."

"I want to be popular on the first album, I think he is pure wishful thinking, I want to see it, he said he is Xu Chen, Xu Chen is a fart, my special mother is still Zhang Xiangren!"

On the phone, Dou Wei understated: "Zhang Baoren, he has an album that can't be popular, you are not destined to lose money if you sign him, what are you angry about." ”

"......" Zhang Beiren was blocked for a moment, and said in a muffled voice: "Lao Dou, what you say doesn't make sense, Moyan and other labels, that can be compared, even a pig, I can also make him popular." ”

"Then you sign a pig and I'll sleep."

The phone beeped, Zhang Baoren looked at the phone, was stupid for three seconds, and scolded his mother angrily: "Dou Wei, I'll join your uncle!" ”

After scolding, he was particularly angry, and with a "bang", the phone smashed on the telephone platform, and his face was ugly.

Ultimately.

He said coldly: "Okay, you are Xu Chen, I want to see if you are the Monkey King or a monkey jumping up and down, I am waiting for your album!" ”

……

Bedchamber.

The princess didn't sleep well at night, and after waking up, she listened to the phone and was thoughtful.

After Dou Wei hung up the phone, she put on her head, and by the moonlight, she lay on the bed, held her chin and asked, "Old Dou, how much does Xu Chen want?" Zhang is angry like this. ”

46. Dou Wei said in a daze: "Xu Chen, this kid is crazy enough, he is more ruthless than me back then, and he rejected Zhang Peiren." ”

"What!" The princess was shocked, her red lips opened slightly, and she said in surprise: "He rejected Moyan, Xu Chen, he is not a newcomer, how is it possible!" He can't get an album? ”

"Old Dou. What the hell is going on? "The princess is still very interested in Xu Chen, a mahjong apprentice.

No one answered her,

The princess stretched out her hand and pushed Dou Wei.

Dou Wei snored like thunder.

The interest was interrupted, the princess's face was depressed, Dou Wei woke her up, and she fell asleep.

A jade leg kicked on Dou Wei's body, and Dou Wei was like a corpse.

The princess sighed.

One person got out of bed, walked to the next study and fell asleep.

…………

"You rejected Zhang Peiren, no, you rejected Demon Rock!"

Xu Chen's chopsticks paused.

In this case, his ears are almost calloused.

Zhang Peiren's bottom line is 28 points, Xu Chen is not stupid, why should he make money for Moyan!

"No, Lao Xu, is this a matter of sharing?"

Huang Bo's eyes widened, and he looked like a ghost: "That special mother is the magic rock, the magic rock of the "Demon Rock Three Heroes", how many people dream of signing it, but you refused because of the share......"

The existence of the "Three Heroes of Magic Rock" is a kind of "faith" in the mainland Chinese music scene in this era. ”

Don't talk about money.

Even if you don't need money, there are a large number of singers who rush forward one after another.

Xu Chen took a big bite to eat: "Lao Huang, Moyan is just a rock, you are the first brother of my company, although the company has not been established now, how can you grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige." ”

Huang Bo glared at Xiao Ou, his face was both lost and heartbroken, he had no appetite at all, put down his chopsticks, sighed and said, "Lao Xu, you rejected the magic rock, what are your plans next?" ”

"Record a song!"

Speaking of this, Xu Chen put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "This time I went to see the princess, it's not without gain, the princess is in the recording studio in the depths of the flowers, and agreed to borrow it from me, Lao Huang, you have to work hard these days, you want guitar and bass, Lao Sha also wants to be called, this grandson has not moved at all recently!" ”

"Sha Baoliang recorded an album, what about looking for a record company...... Huang Bo said depressedly: "You better don't call him, this grandson record has no company to want, if you know that you rejected Moyan, this grandson is jealous, I'm afraid he will kill you." ”

Sha Baoliang and Yang Kun are brothers and sisters, the two of them sing in the same bar, and at the same time they are ruthlessly rejected by the record company.

When Xu Chen heard this, he touched his chin and thought of what happened to the third senior brother and Yang Kun.

I can't help but think to myself.

Mo Yan refused himself, and sooner or later, Zhang Beiren, this kid would cried and fell to his knees under his jeans, and said aggrievedly and aggrievedly: "It's 19, you 9 and I'm 1, please, please tap ......"
