"I originally prepared this song for Chen Fei'er …"
If it were any other newcomer, saying such a thing would probably only make people laugh their teeth off.
But Lu Chen is really different.
Chen Fei'er's appreciation for Lu Chen has been fully reflected in the competition of "Singing China". She alone gave Lu Chen full marks five times, surpassing Tan Hong, who likes to promote newcomers.
In some online entertainment channels, there was even a small news such as "Chen Fei'er's favorite little fresh meat".
Lu Chen didn't see these gossip, otherwise he would have vomited blood - he's a real man, okay?
Wen Zhiyuan, Li Zhigao and Tang Qiaoqiao were struck by lightning on the spot, but the three of them didn't have much doubt.
Lu Chen's creative talent is obvious to all, and he didn't rely on anyone to hold him up and blow him up!
It's not inconceivable that Chen Fei'er would invite him to sing a song.
Wen Zhiyuanreacted and beamed with joy: "It turned out to be a song written by Teacher Lu Chen for Heavenly Queen Chen …"
"Don't think about it."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Chen: "I won't admit it."
Lu Chen understands Wen Zhiyuan's idea. For a new singer, this is undoubtedly an excellent hype gimmick.
But first of all, Lu Chen has to cooperate. If Lu Chen doesn't admit it, then even if EMI tries to stir things up, the effect will not be good, and he is afraid that he will offend both him and Chen Fei'er, which is not worth the loss.
Wen Zhiyuannever expected that Lu Chen was so shrewd that he saw through his thoughts at a glance.
His smile couldn't help but become a little embarrassed.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you use my name to hype up, but don't involve Teacher Chen Fei'er."
Even if he did not mention it just now, he was still a little worried that Chen Fei'er would be dragged into this. Many entertainment agencies, in order to create hype, would forcefully attach themselves to people who were completely unrelated, let alone people who were even remotely related.
Therefore, Lu Chen hit Wen Zhiyuan not lightly or heavily, lest the other party have unrealistic ideas.
He is willing to sell his works to EMI, and doesn't mind the other party using his name for publicity, but it can't involve a third party, otherwise everyone will break up!
If it were any other newcomer, they wouldn't have the qualifications to speak like this. However, it was Lu Chen who said it, and Wen Zhiyuan was really convinced.
He was even grateful.
The work that Lu Chen took out was originally prepared for the Heavenly Queen!
"Alright, alright!"
Wen Zhiyuan hurriedly said, "Teacher Lu Chen, you can rest assured that we have a sense of propriety. Then I will prepare the contract first and wait for you in the company the day after tomorrow!"
Lu Chen took the initiative to extend his hand to him. "Then let's have a pleasant cooperation!"
Wen Zhiyuan laughed. "It's a pleasure working with you!"
He held Lu Chen's hand hard, and his heart was very happy.
The director of the brokerage department of EMI has secretly made up his mind to apply for the funds to buy songs.
Originally, two days was not enough at all. The company's process was not that fast at all. However, if he used his connections to do special things, Wen Zhiyuan was still quite sure. After all, the money was not a lot.
If it really doesn't work, he will pay it out of his own pocket first!
In order to suppress Zhang Qiong's arrogance, Wen Zhiyuan also went all out.
… ….
After declining the warm invitation of Wen Zhiyuan and others to have lunch together, Lu Chen returned to his studio.
At 2 pm, he will be interviewed here by a special reporter of QQ Music.
During the process of participating in the "Singing China" competition, and after the final, Lu Chen has been interviewed several times, including group interviews and individual interviews.
But it was the first time for such a special invitation to make an appointment for an official interview.
Although the other party was not a reporter from a well-known newspaper or TV station, QQ Music was the largest and strongest of all music websites. To be able to get their special interview was something worth celebrating for any newcomer.
It even needed to spend money on public relations.
The primary reason why Lu Chen was able to get this opportunity was that several of his works were very popular in QQ Music.
QQ Music is an important partner of "Singing China" organized by Beijing Television. The live version of all the contestants' songs will be put on it for free on-demand by netizens.
Although Lu Chen's works are all original works, they are no exception.
And his works have repeatedly rushed to the home page of QQ Music's hit list.
So far, the live version of three original works, "Chasing Dream with a Childlike Heart", "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and "You Who Sat Next To Me", have exceeded 100 million views. Among them, "Chasing Dream with a Childlike Heart" occupied the top spot for seven consecutive days, until it was squeezed down by "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".
As for the others, "Fly Higher", "The Bright Times of Youth", "Those Flowers" and so on, they all have excellent performance.
Lu Chen's songs even dominated the list for a time.
Such a situation was so rare that the official QQ Music had to use "technical means" to readjust the list, making several songs fall off the list.
Because Lu Chen's songs have been on the list one after another, it has seriously affected the works that many website partners are playing, publicizing and selling. Those who spend money have an opinion – our money can't be thrown into the water!
Such unspoken rules have long been a secret in the industry, especially in the entertainment channels of portals. If you want to show your face and take back the headlines, unless you are a real big shot, you don't even need to think about buying a place without paying for it.
The same is true of QQ Music. As the largest music website in China, with hundreds of millions of registered users, its way to make money, in addition to sales shares, the most important thing is advertising and ranking income.
So, it's normal for LuChen's song to be suppressed after touching the interests of the investor.
However, Lu Chen doesn't care. After all, the publicity purpose of his work has been achieved, and he will cooperate with QQ Music to sell the online version of his debut album.
At that time, as long as the results are excellent, QQ Music will naturally promote it, and it will not be a problem to promote it to the sky!
And this time, the special interview seems to have some intention of making up for it.
Most of the above was analyzed by Lu Xi for Lu Chen. She has been paying close attention to the movements on the Internet.
For example, Lu Chen's blog is personally managed by her sister.
In addition to the special interview with QQ Music, Lu Xi also has a work report to Lu Chen, which needs him to make his own decision.
"I've already talked to the clothing company that recently asked you to endorse an advertisement."
"Whether to cooperate or not, it's up to you to decide!"
This is the advantage of being famous. Even when you sit at home, there are people eagerly sending money to your door.
Lu Chen's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "What kind of clothing is it? How much is it?"
Thinking that he is going to shoot his first advertisement, he was a little excited.
Lu Xi said with a slight smile, "It's considered clothing, men's underwear, and the endorsement fee is 100,000 yuan a year!"
Men's underwear?
Lu Chen was suddenly shocked. He originally thought it was a suit or trousers or something, but the result was too unexpected.
Of course, underwear is something that everyone has to wear, but thinking about wearing only a pair of underwear on camera and being photographed as an advertising album or magazine insert or something, Lu Chen felt that the picture was too beautiful.
He couldn't help but shiver, and all the hair on his body stood up: "Forget it, help me refuse."
It's not that Lu Chen doesn't want to make money, but the money is unacceptable to him.
The key is that the money is too little, and it's not worth it for him to "sell his body". 100,000 yuan is less than the price of half a song.
Regarding Lu Chen's answer, Lu Xi was not surprised at all: "Okay."
Lu Chen asked, "Is there anything else?"
Lu Xi flipped through the notepad in her hand and continued, "There are a few more invitations, and I have answered them for you."
Invitations in the entertainment industry refer to artists participating in various programs and public activities, such as signing sessions, talk shows, promotional meetings, endorsement activities, press conferences, etc., according to the intention of the entertainment company or agency company, to increase their exposure rate during a certain period of time.
Most of the invitations have an announcement fee, and the price depends on the status in the circle. It can range from thousands to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. There are also a small number of free invitations for pure publicity. In general, it is a necessary path for new artists.
There are even artistes who specialize in running invitations.
It's just that the status of artistes in the circle is very low. They belong to singers, idols, or non-A-list stars who are not popular enough, have no contract with a specific company, or have no programs to do.
These people no longer worked in a fixed studio or recording room like they usually did. Instead, they traveled between various variety shows every day to talk about the gossip in the circle, popular news, and the little secrets of themselves and other artists. Otherwise, they would play some pranks on some entertainment shows to amuse everyone.
In short, it's low!
As an independent artist, Lu Chen is not under the pressure of a signed company, so he has a lot of freedom in this regard.
Some agency companies will force artists to participate in invitations.
Of course, without the company's network resources, many invitations will not take the initiative to find him.
And Lu Chen himself is not interested in this.
Because he doesn't have much time to deal with the time-consuming and laborious invitations that don't make much money.
Lu Xi understands Lu Chen's thoughts, so she directly replied.
At the same time, she reminded him, "If it's an invitation from Beijing Television, then you have to go anyway."
Lu Chen nodded. He must maintain his relationship with Beijing Television. Even if he can't make money, he has to give them face.
Otherwise, if he is too maverick, he won't be able to stay in the entertainment industry for long.
"Finally, there's the offer from the two performance companies …"
Lu Xi said, "Food, accommodation, round-trip air tickets or high-speed rail tickets are included. 30,000 yuan for a song. If you agree, you can sign a one-year contract first."
Performing invitations is also the key to making money for artists, but the other party's offer makes Lu Chen a little sad.
He is a newcomer and has no signed company to support him!
He scratched his head and asked his sister, "Sister, do you think it's bad if I don't talk about it or sign it?"
Lu Xi smiled sweetly, "It's good that you know."
