Ye Cheng left Huayan Music Company and received a call from Ke Liang before he walked far: "Xiao Ye, have lunch together. You can go to the Sichuan restaurant in front of the company and wait for a while. I will come here after finishing the process."

Ye Cheng looked at the time and it was almost twelve o'clock noon. He came to the Sichuan restaurant that Ke Liang mentioned, found a table to sit down, his mind was full of what he had signed the contract just now.

Ye Cheng has been in Beijing for several years and has been deceived several times, but that was just a small loss and it didn't matter to him. This time it was different. It was related to Ye Cheng's future development prospects. Once he got stuck, he would not be able to turn around within five years.

Of course, Ye Cheng can breach the contract after signing the contract. This kind of thing is very common in the entertainment industry. The reason is that the company's contract to newcomers is too scammed. After the newcomers grow up, they ask for the contract to be revised. In the end, the two parties collapsed and met in court.

But that kind of thing is too troublesome. Ye Cheng doesn't want to be in a lawsuit a year or two later. It's better to refuse now.

Ye Cheng is a person who is good at learning and summarizing experience. This lesson is enough for him to remember for the rest of his life, at least he will not trust people so easily in the future.

More than ten minutes later, Ke Liang walked into the Sichuan restaurant with a cardboard box and said with a full face: "Come on order."

Ye Cheng picked up the menu and asked, "Brother Liang, are you?"

"Resigned," Ke Liang was in a particularly happy mood. He smiled and said, "I don't want to do that broken job anymore. Thanks to you who made up my mind this time."

Ye Cheng smiled curiously and said, "How did I make up my mind for you?"

"Because of your affairs, I had a fight with Old Man Lin," Ke Liang said disdainfully. "It is normal for a harsh newcomer contract, but in terms of the quality of your three works, they would be a bit bullying for you if they gave you an ordinary newcomer contract. What's more, I guess they didn't think about praising you from the beginning, they just wanted you to write songs for the company."

"Why?" Ye Cheng couldn't figure out why he could write and sing, so why didn't the company plan to praise him?

Ke Liang said with emotion: "Ten years ago, several founders of Huayan Music had a quarrel. The company's vice president Zhang Yun took the queen Xing Lina away. Since then, Huayan Music has been going downhill year by year. Three years ago, Tan Bin, the company's gold medal music producer, was forced to resign, and Huayan Music lost its creative vitality. What the company has left now is a group of old foxes who can only intrigue and a group of silly newcomers. The singers that Huayan Music has been promoting in recent years have either become famous or rely on nepotism, and there are not too many dirty things in it."

As he said that, Ke Liang suddenly laughed: "Before Director Tan left, Lin Chunming's old fox was quite responsible in his work and discovered many potential singers for the company. But as soon as Director Tan left, he was all fucking dirty with the crowd. Last year, a newcomer wrote a song written by them was plagiarized by them, and he shamelessly turned around, forcing the newcomer to almost jump off the building and commit suicide. By the way, have you registered the copyright of these three songs?"

"Register, thank you for your reminder." Ye Cheng was a little scared after hearing this. If Ke Liang hadn't reminded him yesterday, he would definitely not have registered the copyright of the song.

Registering the copyright of a song is actually very simple. Register an account on the official website of the Music Association, and then pay some money to become a member of the Music Association, you can upload the new song to register the copyright. Of course, registering the copyright of the song also costs money. It only costs 30 yuan if you don’t get a certificate, and the postage will be 50 yuan if you want the certificate.

The group of people in the Music Association are very disgusting. They can charge a lot of money just by registering membership fees and song copyright registration fees every year, but they don’t do much if they get the money. If any member is infringed on the copyright, the Music Association will provide you with copyright evidence at most, and you have to fight the lawsuit yourself.

A few years ago, the Music Association helped to sue all major KTVs across the country, demanding that they stop infringement and pay the copyright fees for songs. As a result, the copyright fees received were eaten by the Music Association itself. Only some large music companies and well-known singers asked for some money from the Music Association, and countless songwriters and young singers could not see a penny.

Cultural copyright protection is a joke.

It's a bit far from going on, let's get back to the topic.

Ke Liang asked for a few bottles of beer, and while drinking it, he told Ye Cheng about anecdotes in the circle. It took him a long time to get to the topic: "Xiao Ye, have you made up your mind to make music all your life?"

Ye Cheng said: "I can't do anything other than playing music."

Ke Liang put down his wine glass and said seriously: "Xiao Ye, how about I'm your agent?"

"Be my agent?" Ye Cheng was a little confused.

"Yes, agent," Ke Liang said frankly, "Compared with those big companies, the resources I have are definitely not worth mentioning. But one thing is that I will never cheat you, and will do my best to make you famous."

Ye Cheng asked: "Why do you think of being my agent?"

Ke Liang smiled and said, "Just relying on you to take out those three songs, I believe your musical talent and I believe you will definitely become famous."

It was a wonderful feeling to be favored by others. Ye Cheng also smiled and asked, "Then what are you planning to do?"

Ke Liang said: "There are several solutions. The best solution is to find a professional recording studio to record your three songs, and then I will take the songs to the music company to see if I can meet a boy. If this method doesn't work, I can only operate it myself. I will help you contact various activities, and look for opportunities while making money in performances. At the same time, we can also conduct online hype ourselves, and we need to study the specific details carefully."

Ye Cheng was a little disappointed when he heard this. It turned out that Ke Liang was also a wild way. However, he really needed someone to guide him. Although he was holding a lot of good songs, he couldn't sell them even if he had a slight look. If he was not careful, he would be cheated.

Ye Cheng was hesitating whether he should agree to him, but Ke Liang said again: "In this way, don't rush to reply. I have a guy on the crew of "Twin Cities". I will try to hand your song "Crossing the Ocean to See You" to the director to see if it can be an interlude or theme song for the movie. What do you think?"

"Two Cities" is an adaptation of the best-selling book of well-known beautiful writers. It has been popular before it was started. If "Crossing the Ocean to See You" can be selected as a movie song, it will definitely have a huge boost to Ye Cheng's future development.

Since Ke Liang had shown sincerity, Ye Cheng no longer felt pretentious and smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Brother Liang."

Ke Liang acted resolutely and made a decision: "That's all, we'll go record the song in the afternoon. The effect of recording yourself is too poor."

Both of them were pretending to be in trouble and didn't drink any more. After lunch in a few seconds, they ran to the studio to record songs with their arms around.

Ye Cheng has great ideals. He wants to be the leading music singer-songwriter in China. Ke Liang has a lot of ambitions, so he is not satisfied with being a small celebrity agent.

Ke Liang formed a band with his friends at the age of fifteen and sang in bars all over the country. At the age of 25, he took out all his savings and opened a music studio with others. Not only did he not make money, but his friends also broke up because of women and business. After that, Ke Liang became decadent for a while and went to the bar to be a DJ for several years, and then he went to Huayan Music to be a singer and recording engineer.

Just as Ke Liang had no hope for the future and was just passing by, Ye Cheng suddenly appeared and brought three good songs.

Ke Liang felt that this was a god-given opportunity. As long as he made Ye Cheng, a musical genius, famous, he could become famous in the circle, and it would not be impossible to create his own agency in the future.
