Chapter 20: I want to be your agent
Only after getting drunk can you realize that the wine is strong.
The next day, Chen Lixing got up and wrote a draft of the abdomen first, preparing to face Zhao Ziruo who might be angry.
When I left the yard, I found that the girl had already left, leaving only a note, which read: Breakfast is on the stone table, remember to practice boxing.
Fried noodles, soy milk, and steaming.
It tastes delicious when you eat soft rice.
After finishing some work, I took out the phone, hesitated for a moment, and dialed the number: "Dad, it's me."
"Okay, have you eaten?"
"I just ate it, I want to ask you something."
Chen's father was silent for a while before saying, "Last time your mother said, you didn't receive her money, how much does it take this time?"
He subconsciously thought that Chen Lixing took the initiative to call to ask for money. Over the years, he has been like this almost every time and has been used to it.
Chen Lixing's nose felt sour: "I'm not asking you for money, what I want is how much money my family owes people."
Chen's father was stunned: "Why are you asking this?"
"Tell me that from now on, I will pay back all the debts."
"ah!"
Chen's father was surprised and shocked: "Hello, nothing happened to you, right? I tell you, we must not do anything illegal."
Chen Lixing was amused and crying: "Dad, what did you say? I told my mother last time that I am stable now and can make money."
Chen's father still had some doubts: "You didn't lie to us?"
"What's the point of cheating on this kind of thing... Dad, just tell me, how much is our family's debt total, 200,000 or 30?"
Chen's father still did not answer positively: "Ah, if you can make money, you will save it. The eldest is not young, so you should find a girlfriend. It is not easy to find a girlfriend now. It costs a lot of money to eat, watch movies, buy clothes and bags. Find a wife even harder, you need a car and a house. Don't worry about the house, your mother and I can handle it."
Chen Lixing knew it was hard to ask at once.
In fact, based on the transfer records over the years and the income of parents, you can guess how much you have, it will not be less than 200,000 yuan. So you said directly: "Dad, you didn't change the card, I will transfer 20,000 yuan to you later. That's it, I'll go to work first."
"Yu Xiang" sold 30,000 yuan, but after deducting the tax, it actually got more than 20,000 yuan. However, some of the money had to be left for spare, mainly because of the copyright registration, and there was not much need for food, clothing, housing and transportation. In fact, Guiyi Bar provides food and accommodation, but Chen Lixing likes to live in the yard of the alley, and is happy to be quiet and unwilling to squeeze into the dormitory with others.
Gaocheng Town, Gaocheng Primary School.
Shortly after Chen's father put down his phone, he rang with a ding dong. When he opened the phone, he saw a 20,000 yuan account information.
"This kid really has to pay for it!"
Chen's father murmured, feeling mixed with emotion, feeling that his son had finally grown up and understood filial piety.
But when he thought about it, he couldn't help but worry: Where did he get so much money?
With my understanding of my son, I should not dare to do illegal things. A good boy, can I not want to work hard, so I have fallen into the arms of any aunt?
Thinking of this greatest possibility, Chen's father frowned into the word "chuan": No, he can't be allowed to fall like this, he has to find a way to drag him home...
...
It was dark, and Chen Lixing went to the bar to prepare for work.
Since the promotion to the 10 o'clock prosperous venue, his basic salary has doubled. Coupled with the recent popularity of "Yuxiang", his income every night has risen sharply, approaching the thousand yuan mark infinitely.
This income is already quite good in the resident singing industry.
However, Chen Lixing has not received the money yet. The resident is different from the running field. The resident is a temporary worker and is usually settled on the spot; the resident is settled once every ten days, or even twice a month.
When I arrived outside the bar door, before I could enter, a figure squatting there suddenly rushed out.
Chen Lixing was shocked and almost kicked him with a shadowless kick.
"Mr. Chen, it's me, I'm Feihua. Do you still remember me?"
The other party quickly revealed his identity.
Chen Lixing looked at him and was a pretty fat person. Such an image was easier to leave an impression on people. He seemed to be an agent of a company: "Oh, it's you, "Yu Xiang" has been sold to Letu Company, you don't have to come to me again."
Feihua said: "I'm not here to buy songs for you, I'm here to find you."
Chen Lixing smiled and said, "I said last time, I have no plans to sign a contract with your company."
Fei Hua smiled embarrassedly: "I have resigned from Huaxing and am now a free agent."
Chen Lixing was stunned: "Then why are you here to do for me?"
"I want to be your agent."
Chen Lixing opened his eyes wide: "Did you say it wrong, or did I hear it wrong? Look at how I look now, can I afford to use my agent? I almost can't support myself."
Feihua's expression was very serious: "Mr. Chen, I have listened to your two original songs many times. I think you are a talented person, a person who is not appreciated by talent. I firmly believe that you will be popular and have the opportunity to become a superstar."
Chen Lixing looked at him with a smile: "Do you think I am the kind of person who is easily fooled?"
Many small agents will stay outside the doors of major art colleges, specifically staring at art school students with good appearance and fooling them into signing contracts. They will be scattered when talking, and they will ask you to sleep with them when doing it.
"No, no, I didn't mean that. What I said was the truth."
Fei Hua waved his hand and explained.
Chen Lixing spread his hands: "I'm just a resident singer who makes a living in a bar, and I really don't need any agent."
After saying that, step into the bar.
Fei Hua followed closely: "Mr. Chen, listen to me. You asked me to be your agent. I don't want any salary, just share the salary, and the lowest share ratio, ten percent."
Celebrities seem to have a glamorous income, but they are not as much as they really get. The company has to take half of it, and the agent takes about 20%. Some big brands are fine, and they are qualified to negotiate with capital and increase the share ratio. Newcomers who have just debuted have no room for bargaining and sign the contract.
Feihua continued: "You are talented, but you need opportunities; and I have been in this industry for more than ten years, and I dare not say how many connections I have, at least I am familiar with the market, and I am thick-skinned."
Hearing the last sentence, Chen Lixing couldn't help laughing. But then again, it's really not good for a broker to be a bad-skinned person.
Feihua struck while the iron was hot: "We can really cooperate. You can create with peace of mind. I am responsible for helping you find opportunities and resources. You don't have to treat me as an agent, just treat me as a errand and choreographer."
Chen Lixing asked strangely: "Why do you come to me for such good conditions? I believe many artists want to have an agent like you."
Feihua smiled bitterly and said, "Who did not sign an agency contract for debut? If you want to terminate the contract, you have to pay a large termination fee. Besides, it is impossible for others to terminate the contract and come to me."
Chen Lixing thought for a while: "I understand, you are actually similar to a scout."
The main task of the scout is to wander around the streets all day long, looking for amateurs. Beautiful, elegant and talented are all the goals they discover. Not to mention, there are really many celebrities who are discovered like this and then become famous.
Fei Hua hurriedly said: "I am more advanced than a scout and have a regular license. I am really an agent. I have brought many artists."
Without further ado, Chen Lixing also understood that those artists must be the 18th tier.
In the entertainment circle, celebrities are divided into levels and agents are divided into levels. Feihua is at the bottom. He was fired by the company and had no artists under his command, so he came to find Chen Lixing. To put it bluntly, he is optimistic about Chen Lixing's creative potential.
If Chen Lixing is the kind of young man who dreams of a celebrity every day and wants to debut and become famous, it would be much easier. But last time, facing a formal debut contract, Chen Lixing refused without any room, and Fei Hua knew: This guy is not easy to fool!
If you cannot fool, you must be sincere and keep your posture low.
Now Feihua has lost the support of the company. To put it bluntly, it is called a "free agent", but in fact it is a weak rootless duckweed.
"You sit down first, I'll think about it."
After entering the bar, Chen Lixing said, then walked into the backstage.
