It's not over yet!
Wen Zhiyuan almost smashed the mineral water bottle in his hand at the door - will you let me be alone?
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Please come in."
Since sitting in this position, Wen Zhiyuan has felt that he has become a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. There are a group of mother-in-law and uncles pointing fingers at him, and a group of arrogant soldiers and generals doing their own thing. He is caught in the middle of being bullied on both sides.
To be able to live until now without his blood vessels bursting, he must have burned 30,000 pounds of incense in his previous life!
The door was gently pushed open, and a skinny middle-aged man came in with a girl with a ponytail.
"Hello, Director Wen …"
The middle-aged man came in and bowed to greet him, with a flattering smile on his dark face that was wrinkled like an orange peel.
The girl who followed him bowed at the same time: "Director Wen, sorry to disturb you."
Seeing that it was these two instead of the original two masters, Wen Zhiyuan immediately breathed a Big sigh of relief.
He stretched out his hand and pressed it twice, then said with a smile, "You're welcome. Take a seat. There's water in the fridge."
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Thank you!"
He quickly walked over, opened the refrigerator in the corner and took out two bottles of iced mineral water.
One bottle was sent to Wen Zhiyuan's table first, and the other was handed to the ponytail girl who had just sat down.
Everyone knows that Wen Zhiyuan likes to drink iced mineral water, and the bottle in his hand has been emptied.
The other party's respect made Wen Zhiyuan show a sincere smile.
The middle-aged man's name is Li Zhigao, an agent under him.
Among the many agents of EMI brokerage company, Li Zhigao belongs to the bottom. He hasn't been in the industry for a long time, and he doesn't have any connections in the circle, so he can only lead very ordinary newcomers.
The ponytail girl he brought with him is called Tang Qiaoqiao. She is 19 years old, 1.65 meters tall, with an oval face and big eyes. Her appearance is not bad. She was one of the top ten contestants in a talent show last year.
After EMI Brokerage Company signed her, she was trained for just over half a year before she was launched. So far, she is still a small artist who brushes small notices. Few people know her name when she walks on the street.
In recent years, there have been too many artists who have come out through the talent show. Except for a few lucky people, most of them are similar to Tang Qiaoqiao, and many have even quit the entertainment industry and returned to their original life.
The competition in this industry was too fierce!
Tang Qiaoqiao is an insignificant role among the company's artists, so she was thrown to Li Zhigao.
Wen Zhiyuan still had a good impression of Li Zhigao. Although Li Zhigao's ability was not very good, he respected him very much and was willing to do hard work without complaint.
If his subordinates were all like Li Zhigao, then his position would be very comfortable.
It was because of this reason that Wen Zhiyuan was willing to take care of her under appropriate circumstances.
He asked pleasantly, "Old Li, why did you bring Qiaoqiao here?"
Li Zhigaohalf sat on the sofa, straightened his back and asked cautiously, "Director Wen, I heard that you are going to invite Lu Chen, the champion of" Singing China ", to sing a song, is that right?"
Hmm?
Wen Zhiyuan was stunned. Not many people knew about this. Where did Li Zhigao hear it?
However, when he saw the expression on the other party's face, he understood.
That must be because Zhang Qiong, that stinky woman, had just gone out and talked nonsense outside, deliberately slapping his face. As a result, even Li Zhigao knew about it!
Wen Zhiyuanwas inwardly infuriated, but it was not good to attack Li Zhigao.
He sighed and said, "Yes, now Lu Chen's people are here in the reception room outside. As a result, Zhang Qiong insisted on changing people, so I don't know how to explain it to him."
Li Zhigao's mouth was still very reliable, and it was nothing to complain about.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhigao showed a look of surprise: "Is everyone here? Director Wen, Qiaoqiao, can you? "
He stuttered incoherently. Wen Zhiyuan understood and shook his head again and again and said, "Old Li, it's not that I don't want to help you. Lu Chen's asking price for a song is 250,000 yuan. I can help Zhang Shuhui apply for this money. I really can't do anything about Qiaoqiao."
Any agency company, including EMI Culture, has an internal rank sequence for its contracted artists. The higher the rank, the more resources they get. This is a clear rule.
In EMI Agency, they are also artists under Wen Zhiyuan. If Zhang Shuhui's ranking is B, then Tang Qiaoqiao is D. The difference between the two is really big.
Therefore, Wen Zhiyuan can apply for 250,000 yuan to buy songs for Zhang Shuhui, while Tang Qiaoqiao can only get 50,000 yuan at most.
Wen Zhiyuan really wanted to help but couldn't.
The main reason was that Lu Chen's asking price was really too high. No newcomer dared to offer such a high price.
Zhang Qiong's objection was not entirely unreasonable.
Wen Zhiyuan's heart was bitter.
At this time, Tang Qiaoqiao, who was sitting on the sofa, bit her lip and suddenly said, "Uncle Wen, if I am willing to pay half of the money myself, is that okay?"
Wen Zhiyuanwas shocked: "You … you'll pay for it yourself?"
It's normal for singers to pay for their own songs, but Tang Qiaoqiao is a new artist who has just made her debut. Wen Zhiyuan knows that her family is very ordinary. The money she earns through the company is just enough to eat in Beijing. It's difficult for her to eat well.
Now, she actually wants to take out more than 100,000 yuan to buy songs, which really shocked Wen Zhiyuan.
This is burning the boat!
If the contracted artists of an agency company want to buy songs, they can't be willful and casual. According to the rules, they must be arranged through the company, because it also involves the issues of production, publicity and promotion.
In fact, many entertainment agencies don't like artists to make their own decisions.
Tang Qiaoqiao asked Wen Zhiyuan to take the initiative to buy songs from Lu Chen, which undoubtedly took a lot of courage.
The timing was also just right.
But …
Wen Zhiyuan still shook his head: "Half is not enough!"
It's not that he is hard-hearted, but that the company has its own rules. He is a small department head and has no ability to let the higher-ups break the rules and raise Tang Qiaoqiao's rank.
Li Zhigaosaid, "Director Wen, Qiaoqiao will pay 100,000 yuan herself, I will pay 50,000 yuan, and you can help her apply for another 100,000 yuan!"
He looked at Wen Zhiyuan and said with a very sincere attitude: "Qiaoqiao, this child is not easy, please help her."
Had Old Li gone mad?
Wen Zhiyuan was simply stunned and couldn't believe it.
50,000 yuan, I'm afraid, is all this person's savings. How can there be an agent like this?
But at the same time, the brokerage director was also very moved.
In the entertainment industry, not many agents can do this for their contracted artists. Most people try to squeeze out the value of the latter and finally spit it out like bagasse.
Therefore, many star idols choose their relatives and friends as agents, even if the other party doesn't know anything at all.
Snap!
Wen Zhiyuan slammed the table, got up and said, "That's fine! Since Qiaoqiao calls me uncle, I, as your uncle, will sell this old face to help you once and apply for 100,000 yuan to buy songs for you! "
Li Zhigaoand Tang Qiaoqiao were both overjoyed: "Thank you, Director Wen/Uncle Wen!"
The two didn't have much hope at first, they just wanted to try to fight for a chance for themselves.
Unexpectedly, it really moved Wen Zhiyuan.
Wen Zhiyuansmiled, waved his hand and said, "You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank me, then work hard. Let's go to see Teacher Lu Chen now. Remember to be polite and don't neglect him."
It was also Tang Qiaoqiao's good luck. If Zhang Qiong hadn't fallen out with him, this opportunity would not have fallen to Tang Qiaoqiao at all. And if Zhang Qiong hadn't forced him so much that he couldn't bear it, he wouldn't have wanted to fight for it once.
If he doesn't fight back, then he will only be stepped on by Zhang Qiong more!
Wen Zhiyuan was actually betting that Lu Chen's strength was as strong as he expected.
A singer-songwriter who wrote "In The Spring", "You Who Sat Next To Me" and "The Brightest Star In The Night Sky" should have no problem writing a song suitable for girls, right?
Wen Zhiyuan, who took Li Zhigao and Tang Qiaoqiao to the reception room, was not fully sure in his heart.
EMI Cultural Brokerage Company, reception room.
Lu Chen and Li Feiyu have been sitting and waiting for 10 minutes.
To be honest, Lu Chen was a little unhappy in his heart. He took the initiative to come to the door to test the sound, but he sat on the sofa and waited.
But the receptionist was very beautiful and polite, and the coffee she provided was also very fragrant, so he could bear it.
Li Feiyu was fascinated by the big-chested and white-skinned receptionist, and kept peeping at her while drinking coffee.
Lu Chen suspected that he was a receptionist — there was still Sister Xiaomei over at the studio!
"This must be Teacher Lu Chen, right?"
Just when Lu Chen began to get a little impatient, three people appeared at the door of the reception room.
Among them, the one who walked in the front was a middle-aged fat man with a big waist, who smiled like Maitreya Buddha: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting!"
He came over and held out his hands to Lu Chen: "I'm Wen Zhiyuan, director of the EMI Brokerage Department. Nice to meet you."
Don't hit a smiling face. Wen Zhiyuan's sincere attitude made the unhappiness in Lu Chen's heart disappear.
He stood up and shook hands with the other party and said with a smile, "Hello, Director Wen. We haven't been waiting for long. Your company's coffee is very good."
Wen Zhiyuanlet go of his hand and said with a smile, "Our boss brought this coffee from Brazil. It's not available in China. Teacher Lu Chen, if you like it, I'll ask Xiaowang to pack some for you to try."
Lu Chen couldn't help laughing: "Director Wen, you're too polite. Just call me Lu Chen."
Wen Zhiyuansaid, "You are one of the judges of next season's" Singing China ". You are worthy of the title of teacher."
The first season of Beijing Television's "Singing China" was very successful, and the ratings were better than Shonan TV's "Super Singer", and the production task for the second season next year has been booked.
At that time, more singers are bound to participate. In Wen Zhiyuan's application for inviting Lu Chen to sing, Lu Chen's identity as a judge of the next season of "Singing China" was also written.
Lu Chen said modestly, "I'm just a judge of the audition in the singing area."
"SingingChina" has a total of seven singing areas. In addition to the Beijing singing area, the other singing areas have different audition judges. Lu Chen serves as one of them, not one of the four judges who decide the winner. (TN:
Beijing Television has already informed Lu Chen of this, which is nothing more than a publicity stunt.
