Chapter Thirteen Crazy! Do you want a Class B contract?
It’s a new week!
Chen Ming continued his regular life, but Wang Yiyun gave Chen Ming a surprise. Because the search volume and click volume were too large, the page columnist contacted Chen Ming and wanted to do a special promotion page with columns.
But the condition is that I hope these five songs can be exclusively licensed to Wangyiyun!
Chen Ming thought for a long time, discussed it with Su Rou, and decided to agree.
After all, he has no plans to plan other music platforms except the Wangyiyun platform.
As for why I was discussing with Su Rou...
Chen Ming felt that Su Rou had done a lot of work and wanted to seek their opinions.
At this point, Chen Ming has finally established a firm foothold in Wangyiyun!
The business of the bar is getting better and better, and everything is developing in a good direction.
Friday morning,
Chen Ming got up early for a morning jog as usual. When he returned home after exercising, he saw two figures not far from his home, one of whom looked familiar.
"That little diva?"
Chen Ming remembered the little diva at the concert, but now Xiao Xuan was wearing a mask, so Chen Ming was not sure.
"What is she doing here? Looking for me?"
This kind of slum-like address is definitely not a place where people like Xiao Xuan should come.
Chen Ming trotted over and said with a smile: "Are you two looking for me?"
Xiao Xuan and Sister Qing were overjoyed to see Chen Ming.
Xiao Xuan's face was obviously happy and she took off her mask: "Chen Ming, I represent..."
Before she finished speaking, Sister Qing interrupted her and said with a smile, "Has Mr. Chen had breakfast?"
"not yet."
"How about chatting while we eat?"
Sister Qing is a veteran, and she can't rush things like negotiating a contract. Xiao Xuan's reaction was over the top.
The three of them found a nearby breakfast restaurant, ordered a few steamed buns and three cups of soy milk, and then slowly sat down.
Chen Ming had just finished his morning run and was slightly sweating, so he sat farther away from the two people opposite him.
"Do you two want to see me for anything?"
Chen Ming didn't guess their purpose of coming. In fact, the address they left that day was just a symbolic gesture. Chen Ming didn't expect Xiao Xuan to actually come looking for her!
With Sister Qing present, Xiao Xuan did not need to speak.
Sister Qing smiled and extended her right hand: "Mr. Chen, let's get to know each other formally. We are from Xingyu Entertainment. This is Xiao Xuan. My name is Leng Qing, and I am Xiao Xuan's manager."
Xingyu Entertainment?
Chen Ming frowned slightly and shook hands immediately.
He didn't know much about the entertainment companies in this world, and there was no memory of Xingyu Entertainment in this body's original memory.
Therefore, Chen Ming feels that Xingyu Entertainment is an inconspicuous small company!
Leng Qing was also very understanding. He realized that Chen Ming didn't know Xingyu Entertainment very well, so he took out a company brochure from his bag and handed it to Chen Ming.
"Mr. Chen can take a look at our company first and then talk about other things."
The steamed dumplings were served to the table, but no one moved their chopsticks.
Ten minutes later, Chen Ming put down the manual and felt confident.
Xingyu Entertainment is very famous!
The reason why Chen Ming has never heard of it is because this company is very low-key, and the artists who debuted in his company will not deliberately emphasize their origins.
Xingyu Entertainment is also used to doing big things quietly. The company spans many businesses, including training trainees, supporting new singers, focusing on caring for big stars, customizing roles in the film and television industry, and coordinating schedules to participate in high-quality variety shows, etc.
It can be said that this is an all-round company!
Now that things have happened, Chen Ming also vaguely guesses the purpose of the two people's visit.
"Let's talk straight, you two."
Chen Ming pondered for a moment and then spoke directly.
Sister Qing always had a friendly smile and got straight to the point: "On behalf of Xingyu Entertainment, I would like to sign a contract with Mr. Chen."
"The level of the contract depends on Mr. Chen's current song reserve."
In other words, they want to see if Chen Ming has any more songs!
In fact, regardless of whether Chen Ming has any songs or not, the contract they can offer is only D-level.
This is the biggest concession Zheng Rong has ever made!
Don't even think about a C-level contract, it's D-level at most.
But superficial work still needs to be done, to make Chen Ming feel that he is getting this contract based on his talent, rather than Xingyu Entertainment being stuck in the contract.
Chen Ming is not a newbie!
After all, his parents were also in the industry in his previous life, and his mother was a fifth-tier star, so she knew a lot about contracts.
What people in these entertainment companies are best at is saying one thing and doing another.
Therefore, Chen Ming needs to be more careful.
"What kind of contract can you give me if I don't have many songs?"
Chen Ming knocked on the table.
The two of them looked tense, the person opposite was not easy to fool!
Leng Qing hesitated for a moment and replied in a solemn voice: "D-level contract."
Chen Ming asked again: "What if I have a lot of inventory?"
"C-level!"
There was no pause in the desertion.
Xiao Xuan became a little anxious and pulled down the edge of her deserted pants under the table. How could they have a C-level contract?!
Leng Qing ignored it.
To be honest, she came today with the intention of signing Chen Ming securely. If Chen Ming could win a C-level contract, she would personally report it to the headquarters and submit an agreement explanation.
She was completely gambling on Chen Ming's talent!
Even, she gambled bigger than Zheng Rong.
Chen Ming was silent for a long time, thinking about the pros and cons. The level description of the contract was also explained in the manual.
C-level contracts are already very friendly to newcomers!
And Chen Ming also believes that this should be the greatest sincerity that the other party can show.
After a while, Chen Ming still shook his head.
"not enough."
not enough?
Leng Qing and Xiao Xuan were stunned!
Isn’t a C-level contract enough?
Chen Ming said softly: "I understand what your company means, but the C-level contract does not meet my wishes."
It's not that Chen Ming is a big name, but a newcomer who has signed a C-level or lower contract. All lyrics and music created after that will be owned by the company, not the individual.
This also means that he may not have the chance to sing the songs created by Chen Ming.
This is a huge loss for Chen Ming!
Because of this, Chen Mingcai was dissatisfied with the C-level contract.
Xiao Xuan was a little angry. She was not satisfied with the C-level contract, and Chen Ming's appetite must have been too big.
Leng Qing frowned slightly. She had expected this situation to happen before she came. As a qualified agent, she must take all unexpected situations into consideration.
But no matter how high the level of the contract is, she has no authority to promise it!
"No need to discuss it? Mr. Chen."
He asked coldly and unwillingly.
Chen Ming shook his head: "I need the autonomy to create and sing. This is the most basic thing."
Hearing this, Leng Qing fell silent.
After a long time, the steamed dumplings were slightly cold, and Leng Qing spoke again: "I need to go back and ask for instructions from the company. Can I leave you a phone number?"
Chen Ming copied his mobile phone number, Leng Qing and Xiao Xuan got up and planned to leave.
When the two stood up to leave, Chen Ming said slowly: "I heard that auditions for "The Voice" are about to begin."
Leng Qing and Xiao Xuan didn't know why.
"If I get good results on "The Voice", the contract issue shouldn't be a problem."
Chen Ming seems to be very confident in himself.
Leng Qingchi asked: "Is Mr. Chen so sure that he can pass the audition?"
There are so many people participating!
Chen Ming is definitely not the only singer with musical talent. Maybe Chen Ming can't even pass the audition...
Chen Ming smiled and replied: "If I get good results, I hope you two will bring a B-level contract next time."
Starting from the B-level contract, you can decide the lyrics and music yourself!
really!
Leng Qing sighed in his heart, Chen Ming's eyes had always been on B-level contracts.
Then he nodded and pulled Xiao Xuan away.
Chen Ming quietly finished the xiaolongbao on the table and went home slowly. What happened today was a good thing for Chen Ming.
Xingyu Entertainment is definitely not the only company paying attention to Chen Ming!
So Chen Ming has room for choice.
After leaving, Xiao Xuan's fair cheeks turned red with anger, and she said angrily: "Sister Qing, look at that guy, he's like he's worth 2,580,000 yuan, and he makes it look like someone cares about him!"
When she first entered Xingyu Entertainment, she only had a measly D-level contract.
Chen Ming's starting point is the same as hers, or even better than hers, but he is still not satisfied...
Leng Qing's eyes flashed slightly and his tone was calm: "Xuanxuan, he said something."
“He wants the autonomy to create and sing!”
"This shows that he is very confident in his subsequent works and does not want others to get involved in the songs he wrote."
"Only those with strength dare to say that."
Xiao Xuan could not refute.
In fact, this treaty is in vain for newcomers.
After all, the company will specially hire people to write lyrics and music, and will not snatch the lyrics and music composed by a newcomer. Xiao Xuan signed the contract without even thinking about it.
But Chen Ming has concerns!
He turned around coldly: "I want to go back to the company, so I won't see you off."
Xiao Xuan couldn't help but ask: "Sister Qing, are you really going to apply for a B-level contract for him?"
He calmly got into his car and started the engine: "You can give it a try."
After saying that, the car gradually drove away.
Xiao Xuan was stunned on the spot, crazy, even crazy!!
