Chapter 23 The Broker(1/2)
In the Yuhuo Seafood buffet restaurant, the music was soothing. Diners gradually increased. Song Yi and Wu Xuan sat in the window and saw people queuing outside.
Song Yi knew his future plans and said, "Sister Xuan, Xia Zhi Records will release two songs from me. I will go to college and cooperate with the promotional and distribution plan to make the new songs reach the charts.
When these two songs are finished, the next days will be to write songs, practice songs, and prepare your first special."
Wu Xuan nodded slightly, ate the fruit that relieves the greasyness and suggested: "Xiao Song, I still recommend you to participate in the music talent show recommended by your boss. For newcomers, no exposure can be missed."
Song Yi agreed: "Sister Xuan, thank you. I will participate. The boss has not told me about this yet, so I guess I have to wait."
Wu Xuan helped explain: "Well. The boss should be asking someone to help, but it has not yet been done, so I didn't tell you. He has been away from the music industry for more than four years, and some of his relationships and connections have faded."
Song Yi was suddenly a little curious. It turned out that the boss Li Ergou had been a singer before! But he didn't have the nerve to ask Wu Xuan about the specific situation.
Seeing that the handsome young boy was trying hard to restrain his curiosity, Wu Xuan couldn't help but smile, and her bright eyes as clear as a lake fell on his face, "Don't guess. I'll tell you. It's not a secret.
Before the boss quit the music scene, he was a second-tier singer. He had an album with sales of diamonds. He quit the music scene due to family reasons and took care of his two daughters. Summer solitaire records have shares of the boss' two daughters."
Song Yi was really curious. There was still this source of origin? He couldn't help but remember the news he learned when he first came to the Demon City.
It is said that the biggest singer who came out of Jasmine Bar is Wang Yingying. Her original owner is Xiazhi Records. This year, she bought out the remaining contract and switched to record giant Tengda Music.
This makes sense!
Wu Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Pei of Xiazhi Records, the boss's sister-in-law. Her account on the tiger fish platform is 'Jingzhe Can't Stop Ming'. On the night of the beginning of autumn, she gave you a gift of 500,000."
"ah…!"
Song Yi instantly remembered that when he thanked Mr. Pei on Xiaomeishan Island yesterday, her expression seemed to be smiling. So that's it. Although he realized that Mr. Pei might have given him a reward, he didn't expect that she was the one who "Yingzhe Can't Stop the Sword".
Seeing Song Yi's surprise look, Wu Xuan smiled gently, ate the squid, and said, "Okay, gossip, I'll tell you the serious business. If you go to the music talent show competition, I suggest you not to sing difficult songs.
You are not good at singing now, and singing low-difficulty songs can ensure that you sing well and get a good ranking. It just so happens that there is still some time for the music talent show, and you will find a teacher in Magic City to learn singing skills.
The sooner you practice this kind of thing, the better. Many singers in the music industry rely on their talent to make a living. Once they get older, their lack of control over their voices will appear and their level will plummet. This is a relatively skilled teacher in the Magic City music circle."
Wu Xuan took out a business card from her handbag and handed it to Song Yi.
The prosperity of the music and film and television industry will inevitably lead to numerous training classes, especially music and film and television centers like Magic City. However, the training people are of varying quality and reputation. Reliable teachers need recommendations.
Song Yi accepted the business card and was very grateful. She was very dedicated to everything about him!
Help him see the pitfalls of the distribution contract, give him advice on singing competitions, and help recommend music teachers who are studying.
So, as a newcomer who has entered the music circle, he is very lucky to meet her, get her care and help.
In the music circle and the entertainment circle, I don’t know how many people were deceived and regretted it for life when they entered the industry.
Song Yi put his business card in his backpack, took out his music score book, and said, "Sister Xuan, you know I just sold two songs to Xiazhi Records. My song is pretty good.
When I came back from a dinner last time, I heard from you on Hengshan Road that you first came to Jasmine Bar to be a resident singer. I was distracted and didn’t ask any further questions.
I've heard you perform on the bar stage before, and your singing skills are very high.
So, I want to give you a song.”
Wu Xuan looked at Song Yi with beautiful and clear eyes. A few seconds later, Zhan Yan smiled. Her delicate melon-shaped face was as clear as a flower, and her smile was beautiful. Song Yi took the initiative to mention the incident that night, which made her feel relieved for several days.
But she did not pick up the page Song Yi tore off the music score book and advised: "Xiao Song, don't give songs to girls casually. Otherwise, there will be so many female singers around you that will cause you a headache."
Song Yi was shaken by Wu Xuan's pure smile, and he watched her fair and beautiful face. She smiled so well that she quickly moved her eyes away.
Wu Xuan couldn't help but smile and looked at a handsome and outstanding boy in a daze, causing her to feel a different kind of emotion, and her delicate melon-shaped face was a little red. She reached out to take Song Yi's music score.
The name of this song is "I Don't Want to Say". Wu Xuan read it twice and she had a rough idea in her heart. This is a good song from a female perspective. The lyrics are neat, implicit and full of charm. They are in line with the elements of popular good songs:
A good song title, a classic lyrics, and a good melody.
"The same face as the same sky, the same I am right in front of you. The same road and the same shoes, I can't live without you..."
Wu Xuan put down the music score and asked curiously: "Xiao Song, how did you write such a song?"
Song Yi took a sip of ice-cold Coke, smiled and said, "Sister Xuan, a male creator writes songs from a female perspective. There are many such situations in the music industry.
This song is the theme song of a story. The story tells the story of a foreign girl, a girl who came to the city to work. Through unremitting struggle, she eventually became a queen of the music industry."
It is really unreasonable to create such things. A well-known producer sometimes relies on his imagination to write songs. For example, his "ghostly obsession" in his creation.
The lyricist who wrote classic works like "Woman Flower" is actually a man.
The Five Good Young People wrote about "Fake Monk" and "Nothing".
Wu Xuan couldn't help but curl up her lips, looking at Song Yi's eyes with bright eyes, bright and beautiful, her fair little hand held a water cup, sipped with warm water, and said jokingly: "Which book is the story? Show it to me."
She is the girl who left her hometown, Hei Province, and came to work in the Magic City.
Song Yi will be very thick when he should be thick-skinned, and said seriously with a serious smile: "Sister Xuan, I have not written the story yet, I will do it in the future."
Wu Xuan couldn't help but look at him with a coquettish look, with an unreasonable charm. Even though he knew that he had just come out to fool her, he would feel happy. The faint melancholy of parting was thrown out of the sky.
"Xiao Song, aren't you here to say goodbye to me today, are you?"
Song Yisheng was treated with the thrilling beauty of beauty, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. The apocalypse arrived as scheduled. Feeling a trace of attachment in her words, she said without thinking:
Sister Xuan, how could it be? I just came here to tell you to finish the work at Jasmine Bar and the accounts of Ergou Recording Studio. In addition, I will give you this song.
I am going to go to the Magic City to study in September. I am in the same city. What's the difference to you? Besides, I will definitely ask you if I encounter any problems in the future."
Wu Xuan's mouth raised and her smile gradually bloomed, like a clear and clear lotus blooming, making people feel her joy and happiness from the bottom of her heart. Obviously, he did not mean to cut off her.
"Okay. I won't take your song in vain. Your agent hasn't been decided yet, right? I'll take you for a year."
The boss Li Ergou told her: Let her be the agent of Song Yi. With this relationship, he asked him to help produce the album several years later.
But she didn't want to be so utilitarian to him: being an agent is to ask him to help produce albums in the future.
Now, before she even mentioned this, Song Yi had already given her a song. The song "I Don't Want to Say" is at least a platinum single! This made her insanity and measurements in the past two days completely meaningless.
She decided to be his agent for one year in return. The first agent contract for the newcomer can only be signed for one year.
As for whether it is cost-effective for Song Yi to be a "nanny" in his singing career for one year, is it more rewarding for her? She doesn't want to think about it anymore.
Song Yi was surprised, "Sister Xuan..."
Wu Xuan said with a smile: "What's your expression? If you go to the music talent show, Xiao Xu will definitely not have time to follow you. Or do you think I'm not qualified to be your agent?"
She did not say that Xu Shuangcheng was not capable enough, but changed her statement.
Song Yi: "Sister Xuan, how could that happen? I must trust you. I want to be the position of Jasmine Bar Manager, you... intend to quit?"
Wu Xuan: "Don't be too moved. The boss has long suggested that I be your agent. Even the lowest 5% brokerage commission in the industry will make more money than I am now."
Song Yi laughed, it was definitely not a factor of money, and said, "Sister Xuan..."
"Um?"
Song Yi said seriously: "Thank you!"
Wu Xuan couldn't help but smile, bright and pure, like a summer lotus blooming late, so don't let the east wind down.
…
…
After lunch, Song Yi walked to the entrance of the community where she rented it and said goodbye to her. She wanted to go home to rest and then go to the Jasmine Bar. Song Yi went to the "Ergou Recording Studio" to find Zhou Yanming to check out the bill.
He recorded two songs in "Ergou Recording Studio" "Start from the beginning" and "Spring". Now that he has money, he naturally has to wipe out the debts.
"There are a total of 31,500 yuan, I will wipe the fraction of it for you. Just give it 30,000!" Zhou Yanming smoked, printed out the bill, and handed it to Song Yi.
Song Yi took a simple look, signed the letter, and transferred the money to his company account on WeChat on his mobile phone, "Brother Zhou, thank you for your care during this period." He stuffed a Chinese cigarette he bought to Zhou Yanming.
"Oh, you're welcome, you're welcome." Zhou Yanming skillfully swept the cigarette into the drawer and said with a smile: "Song Yi, you are now in the process of advancing. If you have time to come here in the future, I will welcome you at any time!"
He is an old man, and it can be seen that Song Yi is leaving the Jasmine Bar. He has also seen singers coming and going over the years, and he still feels a little bit emotional. After all, singers who can settle the recording fee over the years and have improved a little more.
Most people will find that musical dreams are really a dream!
Song Yi said: "Brother Zhou, thank you. I will come."
After coming out of the "Ergou Recording Studio", Song Yi found a mass-produced KTV nearby to practice singing. He still sang at Jasmine Bar tonight and tomorrow night. He always gave Wu Xuan time to coordinate the performance.
…
…
On Saturday evening, drinkers gathered slowly in Jasmine Bar. In the office on the second floor, Li Ergou was pouring tea for Wu Xuan.
He received a call from Wu Xuan in the afternoon: "Boss, I decided to be Xiao Song's agent. I want to hand over the work in the past two days."
He also took his daughters to participate in a parent-child outdoor activity, so he had to hand over the daughters to the nanny aunt, and he drove to the Jasmine Bar.
"Xiaoxuan, I said yesterday that I had to consider it. Why did I think about it so quickly?" Li Ergou was very surprised and put the tea on the tea table and signaled Wu Xuan to drink tea. Something must have happened that he didn't know.
Wu Xuan remembered the scene when she had dinner with Song Yi at noon, and couldn't help but smile, saying, "Boss, Xiao Song invited me to dinner at noon today, and decided not to come to the Jasmine Bar to sing in the Jasmine Bar the day after tomorrow.
He said he was very grateful for my care for him and gave me a good song. I didn't want to take advantage of him, so I decided to be his agent for one year."
What?
The Huazi in Li Ergou's mouth fell down directly. Is this kid so "spiritual"? Is he so "helpful"? This will poach his capable opponent?
That’s right, he suggested that Wu Xuan be Xiao Song’s agent, so that Xiao Xuan’s future path will be easier. But actively recommending and being poached are completely different!
Wu Xuan said apologetically: "I'm sorry, boss. I made this decision a little suddenly. I've caused you trouble."
