Xiang Nan has been on a blind date before and met a girl like this who would not respond to WeChat messages or answer phone calls, which made people crazy.

Although, he knew that Zhao Kai was busy with work and did not ignore him on purpose.

But this feeling is still very uncomfortable.

…

Next day, Xiang Nan and Huang Weiye visited several record companies.

"Mr. Cao, we all like your songs, can you sing them live? Don't be nervous, relax..." Caoguo Records manager Feng Jie said with a smile.

Xiang Nan nodded, knowing that people wanted to see his ability on the spot.

In the past, singers could make a lot of money by selling records. Nowadays, singers mainly make money through commercial performances.

Commercial performances are not just concerts, but also many performances in bars, nightclubs, shopping malls, and even open squares. They are noisy and noisy, and it is impossible not to have the ability to be on the spot.

Xiang Nan immediately started singing.

He has inherited Fang Yifan's decades of acting experience and will never have any thoughts of stage fright, nervousness, or restraint.

Because Fang Yifan is from a musical background, every performance is performed live, facing hundreds or thousands of spectators, and he still cannot make a single mistake.

This job is much more difficult than doing commercial acting.

Feng Jie sang when he saw him rapping. He was not shy or pretentious, he was grand and steady, and even though he sang a cappella, he still had a good grasp of the pitch, rhyme and rhythm. He sang very beautifully and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

"Okay, Mr. Cao is very talented in acting. Have you done this before?" Feng Jie asked with a smile.

"Oh, my father is a literary and artistic worker, and he is good at playing, playing and singing. When I was in college, I also liked dancing and was the protagonist of our school dance." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"I see, that's better." Feng Jie nodded and said, "In addition to "People Like Me", Mr. Cao, do you have any other works?"

"Oh, there are still some less mature works." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "Just a few words, not finished yet."

"Then you can hum it and listen." Feng Jie said with a smile.

Xiang Nan nodded, knowing that Feng Jie wanted to see his potential.

Generally speaking, online singers only have one masterpiece. After becoming famous, they soon become silent due to lack of new works. When record companies want to sign a singer, they naturally hope that the talent of the singer is as high as possible, so that they can stay popular for a longer time and make money.

Earn more.

…

"Then I'll just sing a few lines." Xiang Nan nodded, and then hummed softly, "My dear, I fell in love with you. From that day on, it was so sweet..."

"Where has the time gone? I am old before I can fully feel my youth...", "I have crossed mountains and seas, and also passed through mountains and seas of people...", "The sea of ​​​​people is so vast, I float up and down with the current, life is

Rumeng, my dear, where are you..."

He hummed the climax of seven or eight songs in one breath.

Feng Jie smiled and clapped his hands, "Mr. Cao, that's enough. Although you sang only fragments, you can guess that these songs are very good. I have a preliminary understanding of your talent.

In this way, if you are willing, our company is willing to sign a contract with you."

"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, "What are the conditions?"

Feng Jie then took out a standard contract.

Xiang Nan read it roughly and focused on the following points.

The first is the scope of the contract, the second is the term of the contract, the third is the rights and responsibilities of both parties, the fourth is the division of interests, and the fifth is the conditions for termination of the contract.

He noticed that the scope of the contract was very broad, requiring that all performing arts activities be covered, not just stage performances, but also advertising, film and television drama shooting, and online live broadcasts.

The term of the contract is also very long, nine years after signing. Moreover, the rights and responsibilities of both parties are not equal, and the singer is obviously at a disadvantage. For example, he is not allowed to refuse the performance arrangements made by the company without reasonable reasons.

And when it comes to terminating the contract, the record company has the upper hand. They have the initiative to terminate the contract. If they find that the singer is not suitable to continue performing, they can directly announce the termination of the contract, which is not considered a breach of contract.

In contrast, if the artist requests to terminate the contract, he will have to pay a large amount of breach of contract fees.

…

"Wei Ye, this contract..." Xiang Nan hesitated.

"It's okay, contracts in this industry are all like this." Huang Weiye explained, "Record companies have to spend real money to support singers. If the contract is not biased, how can they make money?"

"How about this record company? Is it strong enough and kind? Don't try to trick me." Xiang Nan said worriedly.

As far as he knows, many singers are hidden away after signing with a record company. There is no support and no resources. The singer is forced to spend his own money to make records.

If you are lucky enough to become popular, you can arrange for the singer to participate in commercial performances to make money and squeeze out his value. When the singer really can't stand it anymore and wants to terminate the contract, he will charge a large amount of liquidated damages.

Although Xiang Nan doesn't mean to make a lot of money by becoming a star, he doesn't want to be cheated either.

"As far as I know, it's quite reliable." Huang Weiye whispered, "There are four or five singers under their company, and the most popular one is the one who sang "Don't Say My Tears Don't Matter"...

"

Xiang Nan thought about it carefully, and then shook his head.

The title of the song sounded familiar to him. He remembered hearing it when he was in school, but he had forgotten the specific name of the singer.

"It doesn't matter who it is. Anyway, I've met a few and they are quite satisfied with this company." Huang Weiye said, "If you think it's inappropriate, let's go check out other companies. In fact, the situation is not the same.

Pretty much. After all, I don’t know any record companies that are too high-end.”

Xiang Nan nodded, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to sign a contract with Caoguo Records.

First of all, all crows are black, Caoguo Records is domineering, and other record companies may not be kind. Even giants like Rolling Stone have done things like hiding artists, so changing to another record company may not improve things.

Secondly, if the store is big, it will bully the customers, and if the customers are big, it will also bully the store. If Caoguo Records is not kind, he can just destroy it when he gets rich in the future, and he is not afraid of it playing tricks. If he changes to a big company, he will

Sometimes it becomes troublesome.

"Mr. Cao, welcome to join our company." Feng Jie said with a smile.

"Thank you. I hope we can have happy cooperation and mutual benefit in the future." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Definitely." Feng Jie smiled and nodded, "Mr. Cao, we will feature your song next, and I hope you can cooperate with our work."

"Of course, we will cooperate fully." Xiang Nan agreed.

"Okay, we will formulate a promotion plan as soon as possible. You can go back and wait for our news." Feng Jie added, "Remember to keep yourself clean and protect your voice.

You are no longer an ordinary person now, but an artist, so you must be self-disciplined in your life."

"Don't worry, I've always been very self-disciplined." Xiang Nan nodded.
