Sunday, ten o 'clock in the morning.
Qin Bao Bao returned home with her bag and shopping bags in her hands. She was stunned by the scene in the living room. Qin Ze and Wang Zijin sat side by side on the sofa. Two laptops were placed on the coffee table. The clicking sounds of the mouse …
"Sister Ziwei, don't run down the tower. You'll get beaten up …" Qin Ze had just finished speaking when he helplessly added, "You're dead."
Wang Zijin pursed her lips.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't fight with me for a soldier … Hey, did you just flash in to fill in the gaps?"
"You said you couldn't miss a soldier. You can't touch that soldier, so I'll fill in the gaps for you."
"You're so extravagant."
"Let's go, let's go back to the city … Hey? Why are you standing in their base without moving? "
"I'm standing to recover my health!"
"… As long as you're happy."
Qin Bao Bao poked her head out to take a look. The two of them were playing a game.
"Sister is back," Qin Bao Bao announced loudly. However, her brother and her best friend ignored her.
"Hey." Qin Bao Bao emphasized her tone.
"You're back." Wang Zijin looked up and smiled. She continued to focus on her game.
Qin Ze simply ignored her.
"Zijin, you know how to play games? The sun is rising from the west. "
"It's quite fun."
They were silent for a long time.
Qin Bao Bao sat at the side and watched her best friend and brother maneuver in the game. For some reason, she felt a sense of melancholy.
This seat originally belonged to her.
Half an hour later, the game ended.
Of course, she lost.
Wang Zijin collapsed on the sofa in exhaustion. She didn't forget to gossip. "How was your blind date?"
"Don't mention it. He asked me all sorts of questions the moment we met. He asked me what I did for a living and how many boyfriends I had. I said I didn't have any boyfriends. His eyes immediately lit up like a wolf's." Qin Bao Bao sighed tiredly.
Qin Ze sneered. "Is this what my mother meant when she said that he was young, promising, and had a strong character?"
Qin Bao Bao said tenderly, "That's right. No man in the world has a better character than our Azé."
Qin Ze chuckled.
Wang Zijin felt incredulous. "There's such a person?"
Qin Bao Bao pursed her lips. "A man in his thirties who has money, a car, savings, and a successful career will most likely be proud. Seeing that I'm young, you must think that I'm inexperienced and deliberately want to show off. "
"Let's not talk about these annoying things. My mother is good at everything, but her taste in men is terrible."
Qin Ze said expressionlessly, "I want to record this and send it to the old man."
"Annoying." Qin Bao grumbled as she moved her butt closer to her brother and coquettishly said, "Azé, big sister bought new clothes for you."
"One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions."
"How can that be?" Qin Bao Bao diligently massaged Qin Ze's shoulders and reflected on herself. "Big sister said something wrong. I apologize. You're a great person and don't hold a grudge against a little girl like me. "
Qin Ze did not know whether to laugh or cry. The dissatisfaction and resentment that touched his self-esteem were eliminated by this little vixen.
Qin Bao Bao had always been a woman who knew when to yield and when to stand tall.
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, the stock market closed. Except for the heavy warehouse of infrastructure stocks that remained lukewarm, the two military stocks and the internet stocks that he bought offset each other's gains and losses. He still made a profit of more than 10,000 yuan.
In the past, Qin Ze did not even dare to think about making a profit of more than 10,000 yuan on the stock market in a week.
Qin Ze did not intend to tell his sister immediately. He had his own plans. If Qin Bao Bao found out, with her habitual thinking of "Brother's things are Sister's things", she would most likely throw a tantrum and cheat him of his money. A few days ago, he heard from her that she had recently taken a fancy to a LV bag that cost 20,000 yuan.
Qin Ze wanted to save more capital to make a fortune in the future bull market, so he could not give the money to Qin Bao Bao to spend.
Monday, Xing Yi Entertainment.
Qin Bao Bao had just arrived at the company when her agent, Li Yanhong, walked into her office and said, "Bao Bao, Manager Liu from the marketing department is looking for you."
"What's the matter?" Qin Bao Bao asked.
"It seems to be about the copyright of your songs. Manager Liu wants to talk to you." Li Yanhong said in a low voice.
"Song copyright?" Qin Bao Bao was a bit confused. She was a newcomer and did not understand many of the tricks of the entertainment company.
Li Yanhong took her to Manager Liu's office, knocked on the door, and pushed it in.
Manager Liu was a middle-aged man in his fifties with a big belly that could not escape from middle-aged people.
"Little Qin, you're here." Manager Liu smiled and greeted Qin Bao Bao and Li Yanhong to take a seat.
Qin Bao Bao smiled sweetly and said, "Manager Liu."
Manager Liu could not help but take a few more glances.
"Little Qin, you've been singing on 'Singer' recently, right? I have attention and my results are very good. Especially those songs, each of them is a masterpiece. The company needs talents like you, fresh blood, so that it can continue to develop and grow. It's only right to spend a lot of effort to nurture you. "
Qin Bao Bao smiled but did not say anything.
Manager Liu talked for a long time and finally got to the point, "I called you here because of the copyright of the songs you sang on the show. Little Qin, I know you're a newcomer, but here, I'll criticize you. The company spent a lot of resources to nurture you. As an artist of the company, you must know how to repay the company. You sold the online copyright of those songs to the Top Chinese Music Chart without permission. Do you know that you broke the rules? What do you want the company to think of you? What do you want the company to think of you? It's a very bad example for future newcomers. "
Qin Bao Bao was stunned by his reprimand.
Li Yanhong smiled bitterly and said, "Bao Bao, why didn't you tell me about this? If I knew, I would definitely have advised you."
Qin Bao Bao was even more confused. "What online copyright? I, I don't know."
Li Yanhong took out his phone, opened the "Top Chinese Music Chart" app, and handed it to Qin Bao Bao. "Here, your songs are all here. Invisible Wings and Legend are sixth and ninth on the monthly chart, respectively. Fairy Tale is second on the daily chart, first on the weekly chart, and fourth on the monthly chart. "
Qin Bao Bao's first reaction was that her copyright had been infringed, but on second thought, the other party was a big online music platform. How could they put up songs without copyright? The only explanation was that her brother had sold the copyright and kept it from her. What a scheming boy.
"Manager Liu, I'm sorry. The copyright of these songs is not mine. So this matter has nothing to do with me. "
Manager Liu waved his hand. "Forget about the songs that have already been sold. Next time, don't do anything on your own. Artists, focus on your work. The company will help you with other things. Fortunately, the copyright of Li Song is still there. I don't see it on the Top Chinese Music Chart. "
As he spoke, he took out a contract. "Take a look. If there's no problem, sign it."
Qin Bao Bao didn't take it. She hesitated and said, "This is …"
Manager Liu didn't seem to be satisfied with Qin Bao Bao's reaction. "Of course it's an authorization letter. The company will help you with this song in the future. It just so happens that an online music platform we're working with is interested. They're willing to pay 50,000 yuan for the online copyright."
Qin Bao Bao flipped it open and took a few glances. Good lord, this contract wasn't as simple as the online copyright. It was all the copyright authorization. In other words, if Qin Bao Bao signed this contract, Li Song would belong to Star Art Company.
Li Yanhong wanted to say something but stopped.
Qin Bao Bao smiled and said, "Manager Liu, the copyright of the song really isn't mine. All the copyright belongs to my brother. I don't have the right to make the decision."
Manager Liu said in a deep voice, "What's so difficult about this? Do you think your brother won't agree to it? Besides, this is also for him to generate income. Since we're talking about this, the company has another task for you. In the future, you'll be responsible for communicating with your brother about the copyright of his songs and authorizing it to the company. You're the company's artist. The company's interest is your interest. "
Qin Bao Bao laughed in her heart, but on the surface, she smiled humbly. "Manager Liu, this contract is useless even if I sign it. Legally, I can't represent my brother. Why don't I ask first? "
Manager Liu nodded impatiently.
Qin Bao Bao lowered her head and typed a message. "Come out here. I promise I won't beat you to death."
Qin Ze replied with a horrified emoji.
Qin Bao Bao: "Did you sell the copyright of the song?"
Qin Ze: "…"
Qin Bao Bao sent a "knock on the head" emoji. "How much did you sell?"
Qin Ze stammered, "Not much."
Qin Bao Bao was angry. "Don't play dumb with me. Let's get down to business. The company wants me to sign all the authorizations for the song 'Li Song.' In the future, all your songs have to be licensed to the company. They're only giving you fifty thousand yuan. "
Qin Ze was silent for ten seconds before he said concisely, "Tell him to go sh * t himself."
Qin Bao Bao: "Understood."
She turned off the phone screen and put on a professional smile. "Manager Liu, I'm sorry. My brother sold the online copyright of 'Li Song' as well. As for the copyright of the songs in the future, he said he'll give priority to the company. "
She didn't say anything definite and left a way out for both parties.
Manager Liu looked extremely unhappy and showed signs of anger. His tone became heavier. "We'll talk about the songs in the future. Don't appear on the next episode."
Qin Bao Bao raised her eyebrows. "Why?"
"To be honest, the company arranged for you to appear on 'Singer' to save a spot for Xu Lu. Now that her album is almost ready, she needs to use 'Singer' to promote her album and build her reputation," Manager Liu said lightly.
"But I didn't get eliminated. If I suddenly don't appear on the show, what will the audience think? The production team won't agree. "Qin Bao Bao suppressed her anger.
Manager Liu said impatiently, "Just find a random reason. You're not feeling well or something happened at home. Do you still need me to teach you?"
You're the one who's f * cking in trouble at home.
Qin Bao Bao's beautiful vixen face darkened. She narrowed her eyes. She was really angry. The company's interests are my interests. What a nice way to put it. Where were you when I needed the company? You said you'd arrange a composer for me, but in the end, Xu Lu just casually took the job away. If it weren't for my brother's painstaking efforts (Qin Bao Bao imagined it herself) writing songs for me, I don't know how long I'd have to wait. Now you want to steal my songs? Dream on! Qin Bao Bao even thought that even if she signed the copyright agreement just now, Manager Liu would still ask her to withdraw from the show. If that happened, she would really have to suffer in silence.
"Manager Liu, I'm very healthy and there's nothing wrong at home. So I won't withdraw from the show. " Qin Bao Bao didn't even bother to show an expression. "Also, the marketing department is in charge of the company's business, but I'm a contracted artist. My work arrangements are not under the management of the marketing department."
Manager Liu slammed the table and said angrily, "What do you mean by that? Qin Bao Bao, you haven't become a big star yet, and you're already so arrogant?"
"Literally." Qin Bao Bao stood up and left the office without looking back.
Li Yanhong chased after her and complained, "Bao Bao, your temper, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you're too sharp. Can't you be more tactful? Don't make the relationship so stiff. "
Qin Bao Bao strode forward. "This is my temper, I can't change it."
She suddenly stopped and turned to look at Li Yanhong. "What's going on? Who is this Manager Liu? Does he need to tell me what to do with my work arrangements?"
The matter of the song copyright was pardonable, but she was not a member of the marketing department. Whether she withdrew from the show or not, it was not his turn to overstep his authority.
Strictly speaking, Li Yanhong was actually Qin Bao Bao's boss. Her work arrangements had to be listened to. But Li Yanhong saw Qin Bao Bao as an opportunity for her to change her luck, so she poured out her heart and lungs.
Li Yanhong was secretive. She looked around and whispered, "Let's go back to the office and talk about it."
When the two returned to the office, Li Yanhong closed the door. Without any scruples, she spoke loudly. "Xu Lu's album is about to be released. The company has invested a lot of resources to help her promote it. 'Singer' is one of them. This show is too popular now. Originally, the company wanted you to temporarily fill in the position, and at the same time, gain some face, and find an opportunity to promote you in the future. We didn't expect you to get to this point. Who knew … "
Li Yanhong looked at Qin Bao Bao like a hungry wolf looking at a cute little white rabbit.
"In this way, you're blocking Xu Lu's path."
Qin Bao Bao suddenly understood. She said sneakily, "Xu Lu and this Manager Liu have an affair?"
"My great aunt, you have bad taste." Li Yanhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Xu Lu is an A-list celebrity, one of the company's signboards. Even Manager Liu has to look at her face."
Speaking of this, she unconsciously lowered her voice. "It's the vice president, Kang Shian. Xu Lu is his person. Originally, firing you was just a matter of a sentence, but the president appreciates you very much. Yesterday, he praised you at the meeting: 'Qin Bao Bao has A-list potential. You're a rare talent. If the company's artists can be as good as you, Star Art will break out of the country soon.' "
What the …
Qin Bao Bao said in her heart. Thank you for the president's praise.
