China Entertainment: I really don’t want to live with the queen

Chapter 10: It’s 19 as promised, please be gentle
Let’s face it, if you want to be popular in the entertainment industry, you need at least “two people”, one pulling from the top and one pushing from the bottom…

Joker Xue is extremely talented. Before he became popular, he could only update jokes on Weibo and pretend to be in the music industry.

If it weren't for Wu Gaola, I don't know how long it would have been. Wu Gao's confidence is: "Sea Butterfly".

Jay Chou is the king of Chinese pop. Before he became popular, he served as a background in variety shows. If it weren't for Yang Junrong, there might be no difference between the milk tea wheel and the cake filling wheel.

Yang Junrong became a famous singer in 1985.

The record company is just "two people".

but……

Record companies are not charities. They contribute both money and efforts to make famous singers famous. What they pay must be squeezed back twice as much.

1997 years.

A newcomer, a yet-to-be-famous singer, the commonality of a standard contract...

For a five-year/ten-year period, the singer will share 5% to 10% of income from commercial performances, albums and other income, with increasing fame, but will not exceed 30%.

This is considered conscientious. The label also has a kind of contract. The singer only "clocks in to work" and the minimum wage in Peking is set.

If your song is not popular, it’s because you don’t work hard at work...

If the song becomes popular, it has nothing to do with you!

Dafa Mercy will reward you with hundreds of bonuses, so you can have some fun on your own!
Xu Chen has been singing for a few months, and there are no less than a dozen labels and companies, large and small, that come to cooperate with her. Without exception, almost all of them are like this.

A little more generously, the share is mentioned as 10%, and the condition is to sign a "singer contract".

If you hold your nose and admit it, you will be manipulated by the label, sign a "prostitution contract", and become a maid in the old days.

That's it……

The labels and companies looked like dead parents: "Xu Chen, this is our first-line singer's share. Others don't get this kind of treatment."

To this, Xu Chen had only one answer: "Haha!"

He is afraid of losing the face of his ancestors, he is "Zhou Bapi"...

It's not "skin removal"!
…………

"Magic Rock" is the leading label in the Mainland. It has established the "Huaxia Fire" brand under its umbrella and operates Chinese rock music mainly in Peiping.

The origin of the name "Magic Rock", according to Zhang Peiren, he hopes to do a career in the mainland that surpasses the "Rolling Stone".

More magnificent than "stone" is "rock".Compared with the "well-known and upright" people in the market, he is more like a "devil" who explores works that are "suspected" and "denied" by the market.

Xu Chen said he would give "Magic Rock" a chance to hug him.

Not bragging.

1996 years.

After "Moyan" released the album "Chinese Fire 2", with the decline of "Magic Three Heroes" and "Wu Bai", Moyan's development has shown a decline.

finally.

It officially closed its business in 2001.

Xu Chen needs the mature channel distribution resources of "Magic Rock", and "Magic Rock" needs a singer who can create a new era.

It's a match made in heaven!

and.

Zhang Peiren calls himself "a member of the devil's sect", so he must not be as short-sighted as someone like Gougou Feyingying!
…………

Dusk sets in the west, and the horizon of Beiping City stretches infinitely further.

The balcony faces south, and the evening breeze is pleasant. Zhou Xun takes care of the love nest very carefully. The green plants and flowers planted are lush and green, and all the remaining branches and leaves are trimmed.

There are two hanging chairs and a strange-shaped tree stump on the balcony.

Xu Chen came here for the first time, but he was not timid at all and had a sense of ownership. He greeted Zhang Huiren shamelessly: "Mr. Zhang, please sit down. To be honest, my idol is Li Zongsheng.

Li Zongsheng and Luo Dayou are both the "godfathers of music" in the Chinese music scene!
"Brother is indeed a very accomplished musician." Zhang Peiren respected Li Zongsheng very much and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, it's amazing that you can compose a song like "The Rest of My Life" at such a young age."

Zhang Peiren clasped his hands together, leaned forward slightly, and asked, "Mr. Xu, how long have you been in Peiping?"

"Three years." Xu Chen felt bad.

Negotiations are skillful.

Zhang Qiren said a few words lightly, but only meant one thing: "Xu Chen is young."

Put your hands together and lean forward. This posture is very oppressive in negotiations.

mock up.

Xu Chen has never been afraid.

The bodies were also leaning forward, their noses were nose to nose, their eyes were facing each other, and the wrinkles on Zhang Xiren's face could be seen.

Xu Chen made alarmist remarks: "Mr. Zhang, there is something wrong with the magic rock!"

"..."

Zhang Peiren retreated, leaning against the back of the hanging chair, feeling a little uncomfortable.

He asked with great interest: "Mr. Xu, I heard that you were going to release an album. I thought you would promote the album. I didn't expect that Mr. Xu is still young. Is he still responsible for treating diseases and saving people?"

"Mr. Zhang, do you want to listen to my album, or do you want to hear me cure diseases and save lives?"

Xu Chen attacked: "Mr. Zhang, Magic Rock is the holy land of "rock and roll", but now in the mainland, there is no soil for rock and roll to grow. Mr. Zhang must know that,"

"Mr. Xu wants to say, can your album cure Demon Rock?"

Many people come to Magic Rock to promote records, dozens of them a month...

Zhang Peiren has never seen Xu Chen so arrogant!
His smile disappeared, he straightened his body, and said coldly: "Mr. Xu, what makes you think that your album can become popular? Even if you are right, Magic Rock has a disease, why do you think that your album can save people's lives?" Magic Rock?”

"Because I am Xu Chen." Xu Chen said calmly, "Mr. Zhang, you can meet me just because I am good at it!"

Point to edge.

"Mr. Xu, you are too arrogant." Zhang Peiren shook his head: "No one can say for sure that his album will be a hit. Mr. Xu is just a newcomer, but his tone is louder than the kings and queens. To put it bluntly, Mr. Xu thinks that he Who is it, you are just a newcomer!"

Xu Chen said nothing.

His request is definitely not a "contract of sale" for ordinary newcomers!
If you want to snatch food from the blood mouth of a major label like Moyan, weakness and prayer will have no effect.

The more Xu Chen pretends to be, the less Zhang Huiren will look down on him.

Geniuses are aloof!
The clock is ticking.

Finally... Zhang Huiren's cold face faded away, he smiled broadly and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, you are really young and frivolous. Dou Wei was not as arrogant as you back then. You are right, the magic rock does have the intention to absorb fresh blood. Mr. Xu’s singing and creative talents are exactly what we need.”

"Mr. Xu, please tell me your conditions."

Zhang Peiren let go, Xu Chen's tense nerves relaxed a little, and the lion said loudly: "Brother Zhang, my conditions are actually very low. I hope to jointly develop my first album with your company, and we can split the account 46%."

"46, too few, at least 37." Zhang Peiren frowned, the company 6%, absolutely impossible!

"Brother Zhang, you misunderstood. I meant I am 6 and you are 4."

"What, you say it again?"

Zhang Peiren could hardly sit still and stared at Xu Chen. He didn't expect Xu Chen to be so crazy.

A newcomer wants to be treated as well as the kings and queens.

Who the hell do you think you are!

46!

You think it’s just a pose, you can do it if you want!
"Xu Chen, 28, you 2, Mo Yan 8, the album is not a small number, you are a newcomer, if Mo Yan can compromise to this extent, it has already lowered the bottom line."

Zhang Peiren said solemnly: "If it weren't for your "The Rest of My Life" and "Today I'm Going to Marry You", which are indeed rare and good songs, Xu Chen, based on your thoughts, the magic rock would never be on you. It’s a waste of time.”

"28 is not low anymore. Xu Chen, you are a newcomer. Don't care too much about profits for your first album. With the strength of Magic Rock and Rolling Stone, I believe that you can become the leading singer of the new generation in the mainland, and even cross-strait, three places, Southeast Asia, In Europe, wherever there are Chinese people, your singing can be heard."

Zhang Peiren earnestly advised: "Xu Chen, you are valuable, but not as valuable as you think. Don't miss the opportunity."

…………

"Arrogant, too arrogant!"

night.Magic Rock Headquarters.

Zhang Peiren spent the whole night alone in the office calming down, feeling extremely angry. It was late at night and it was time for dogs to sleep.

After dialing Dou Wei's number, Zhang Peiren was furious: "Who does he think he is? 46 cents, Wu Bai's first album back then, he could only get 5000 yuan. Is he even more popular than Wu Bai? He is a newcomer." Singer, why do you refuse my olive branch, why does he ask me for conditions, who does he think he is!"

"I don't know how high the sky is."

"I want to be famous after the first album. I think he is just wishful thinking. I want to see it. He said he is Xu Chen. Xu Chen is nothing. My special mother is still Zhang Peiren!"

On the phone, Dou Wei said lightly: "Zhang Huiren, his album is unlikely to be popular. If you sign with him, you are not destined to lose money. Why are you angry?"

"..." Zhang Peiren was blocked for a moment and muttered: "Old Dou, what you said makes no sense. Magic Rock is comparable to other brands. Even a pig, I can make him famous. "

"Then you sign a pig and I'll sleep."

The phone beeped. Zhang Huiren looked at the phone and was dumbfounded for three seconds before scolding his mother angrily: "Dou Wei, I'll fuck you!"

After cursing, You was not relieved. With a bang, the phone hit the phone stand with an ugly look on his face.

finally.

He said coldly: "Well, you are Xu Chen. I want to see if you are Sun Wukong or a monkey jumping up and down. I am waiting for your album!"

……

bedroom.

The princess didn't sleep well at night. After waking up, she listened to the phone and was thoughtful.

After Dou Wei hung up the phone, she lay on the bed with her hair disheveled and took advantage of the moonlight. She held her chin and asked, "Old Dou, how much does Xu Chen want? Zhang Peiren is so angry."

"46." Dou Wei said confusedly: "Xu Chen is a crazy guy. He is more ruthless than me. He rejected Zhang Peiren."

"What!" The princess was shocked, her red lips parted slightly, and she said in surprise: "He rejected the magic rock. Xu Chen is not a newbie, how is that possible! He won't release an album?"

"Old Dou. What's going on?" The princess was still very interested in Xu Chen, a mahjong apprentice.

No one answered her,

The princess stretched out her hand to push Dou Wei.

Dou Wei snored like thunder.

Her interest was interrupted and the princess looked depressed. Dou Wei woke her up and fell asleep.

A jade leg kicked Dou Wei's body, Dou Wei looked like a corpse.

The princess sighed.

He got out of bed alone and went to the study next door to sleep.

…………

"You rejected Zhang Peiren, no, you rejected the magic rock!"

Xu Chen paused with his chopsticks.

If this happened, his ears would almost become calluses.

Zhang Peiren's bottom line is 28%, and Xu Chen is not stupid, so why should he give Moyan his money!

"No, Lao Xu, is this a matter of sharing?"

Huang Bo's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost: "That mother is a magic rock, the magic rock of the "Three Heroes of the Magic Rock". How many people dreamed of signing a contract with it, but you refused because of the profit sharing..."

The existence of the "Three Heroes of Magic Rock" is a kind of "belief" in the mainland Chinese music scene in this era.

Don't talk about money.

Even if there is no money, a large number of singers will jump on it one after another.

Xu Chen gulped down his meal: "Old Huang, it's just a magic rock. You are the number one brother in my company. Although the company has not been established yet, how can you increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?"

Huang Bo stared at Xiao Ou, his face was disappointed and heartbroken, and he had no appetite at all. He put down his chopsticks and sighed: "Old Xu, you rejected the magic rock, what are your plans next?"

"Record a song!"

Speaking of this, Xu Chen put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "It's not that I didn't gain anything from going to see the princess this time. The princess agreed to lend me a recording studio in the depths of flowers. Lao Huang, you have to work hard these days, guitar He and Bei want you, and Lao Sha wants to come too, this grandson hasn’t moved at all recently!"

"Sha Baoliang has recorded an album and is looking for a record company..." Huang Bo said depressedly: "You'd better stop calling him. This grandson's record is not wanted by the company. If he knows that you rejected Magic Rock, this grandson will be jealous. I will Afraid that he will kill you."

Sha Baoliang and Yang Kun were inseparable brothers. They sang in the same bar and were ruthlessly rejected by the record company.

When Xu Chen heard this, he touched his chin and thought of what happened to his third senior brother and Yang Kun.

Can't help but think to myself.

If the magic rock rejects him, sooner or later, Zhang Peiren will cry and kneel down under his jeans, aggrieved and coy and say: "It's 19 as agreed, you 9 and I 1, please, please be gentle..."
