Entertaining Children

  Chapter 120 Plan

"I mean, I'm only sixteen. No, sixteen hasn't arrived yet and I'm still studying. Why sign me into the studio? Isn't this a waste of resources?" Xiao Yao explained, "Besides I'm lazy Yes, don’t expect me to keep taking and filming scenes while reading, or keep writing songs and performing performances."

"No one takes you as a child laborer." Ye Jiaying smiled and said, "You are our son, and we will not force you to do things you don't want to do. But since you are our son, you can sing and act. Even if you are not sure if you will take singing and acting as a career, you will not be completely indifferent to the entertainment industry, right? The songs you write and sing will want to be published? You will still be able to act when you meet a role you are interested in? You will always need your own team, right? At that time, with our studio here, would you choose to sign another agency?"

Seeing Xiao Yao shook his head, Ye Jiaying continued: "So, anyway, signing early and signing late is required. As our son, we certainly hope that you are the first contracted artist in our studio. Resources are wasted. You don’t have to worry about the problem. We are not going to sign you alone. We will definitely not treat you like a general agent treats an artist. If you should read a book, just read it. If you want to play, just go and play, but you can wait for you. When you want to send a song, want to act, and need a management team, there is a complete team here to serve you at any time, what's wrong?"

   Xiao Yao thought about it carefully, and felt that what Ye Jiaying said was very reasonable and could not be refuted at all. He nodded and said: "Okay, then sign. What do I need to do? What contract should I sign? There will be no signing conferences?"

  "Press conference?" Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying laughed together. Sometimes this son seems to be omniscient, sometimes ignorantly cute.

"We are the bosses. Mom and Dad signed a contract with our son. It is unprecedented to develop a cloth meeting as a family, but it is too strange." It was Ye Jiaying who said this time. "Furthermore, at the age of eighteen, you can do it yourself. You are still two years away from the legal age for signing a contract. Your current contract is signed by your dad as a guardian."

   "Oh, won't you just sign it for me?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes and asked.

   "Hey, your kid has such a big idea, I won't talk to you, dad, how can I sign any contract on your behalf." This time, Xiao Siqi rolled his eyes.

   "Hey," Xiao Yao smiled triumphantly, "But I think I have taken advantage of this matter, and I haven't done anything to contribute to the studio."

"You can't say that," Ye Jiaying said. "Although there will be no press conference, we will still spread the news of your signing with us. Don't underestimate your role. We are ready to do it with you. It’s the third living sign besides the two of us to attract people, and you are still very helpful for us to sign new people."

   "I'm a sign? Do I have such a big face?" Xiao Yao smiled.

  "Don't underestimate yourself, at least one nomination for the best newcomer award is not something everyone can get, let alone you are very likely to win the award." Ye Jiaying said.

   "What? Best newcomer? Because of the film of "Ling Yun Zhi"? Why don't I know?" Xiao Yao said in surprise.

   "Why are you so surprised? You really think you know everything? We haven't told you yet. Of course you don't know. Isn't your mother going to tell you this?" Xiao Siqi glanced at Xiao Yao.

   "Hey, dad, you..." Xiao Yao stared.

"Okay, be quiet, listen to me." Ye Jiaying interrupted, "Although "Ling Yun Zhi" will not be broadcast until next week, at the previous filming session, everyone was full of praise for the quality of this TV series. Especially. It’s about your performance in the "Cinema", and their evaluations are very high. The producer has always been very optimistic about your performance, plus the media, critics and TV station purchasers in the film will treat you According to the evaluation, they have decided to sign up for the best newcomer in the Feitian Awards held at the end of this year. With your performance in this show, coupled with their public relations and operational capabilities, although I dare not say 100% to win the award, The nomination is still pretty sure."

After a pause, as if to emphasize her confidence in Xiao Yao, Ye Jiaying went on to say: "Actually, according to your performance, I don't think there will be any strong TV series in the remaining months of the second half of the year. When the powerful newcomers come out, you will be sure to win prizes."

  "Win a prize?" This is something Xiao Yao never thought about.

"Yeah," Ye Jiaying said, "this time it's not the mysterious "XY" you got out, but the results achieved under your real name Xiao Yao. You won't be absent from the awards ceremony, will you attend? In this kind of occasion, you can't just go casually. Clothing, styling, makeup, etc. need professional personnel to take care of. The resources of our studio will be useful.

  You used to sell songs by borrowing from your dad’s manager Xu. For acting, you borrowed from my manager. Then you can ask us to borrow the costumer, stylist, and makeup artist? Do you just keep borrowing like this? Signed our studio, our people just got it right for you. "

   "Yeah, too." Xiao Yao only nodded.

"The awards ceremony is at the end of the year. It's still far away. Let me talk about what's in front of you first." Xiao Siqi interrupted. "This time I set up the studio, I have recruited a lot of people. Now that the staff is complete, I haven't opened it yet. .It happened to take your yesterday’s "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" as our first project. When are you going to enter the studio to record it? I have no plans to release an album this year, and you don’t want to be like before. I also put the song on my album. How about we release a single for you this time?"

   "A single? Can we all release a single independently? The studio is so good?" Xiao Yao asked curiously.

"I won't talk about your mother's performing arts department, just my music department. The main arranger and producer is my teacher Shen Yinan. Shen. He feels that he is older and wants to change to a more relaxed environment. Listen. When I said I wanted to start a studio, I resigned and came to my side. In addition, I signed some musicians. When the studio recorded songs, they made the soundtrack in the recording studio. When they performed, they were the live accompaniment band. When you are fine, you can find work by yourself, but work in the studio takes precedence.

  I want to talk about the shortcomings, that is, there is no choreographer and backing dancers of its own team, and the production side must be used for the backing dancers during the performance, but for us, this is not anxious. "Xiao Siqi briefly introduced, "We have the ability to produce albums ourselves, so we cooperate with China Entertainment for physical sales." We are responsible for providing audio sources, they are responsible for CD production and sales, and both parties distribute profits proportionally. The sales and profits of the network are our own. We have our own publicity and distribution team, and we will also cooperate with China Entertainment's publicity and distribution department. "

"Understood," Xiao Yao nodded, "but I have to wait for the release of the single. Yesterday, when I sang with my classmates, I had an idea for a new song, but it was not finished yet. I want to finish the two songs together. hair."

   "How much is it done?" Xiao Siqi asked.

"The tune is almost done, but there are only two words, mainly because it is more difficult to write words." Xiao Yao said, and suddenly asked Xiao Siqi, "By the way, dad, are there any rap talents in the studio team? The new song has some hip-hop elements, and there will be RAP in it. Whether it's writing lyrics or singing, I have very little contact with it. You don't seem to be very good at it."

"Do you want to play new tricks again?" Xiao Siqi said with great interest, "The studio doesn't have it, I have it. Dad hasn't been a fool for more than ten years. Finding you someone in this area is not a piece of cake. Under the influence of Xiao Yao, Xiao Siqi’s music styles have become more and more diversified over the past ten years. Contacts and contacts are already different than ten years ago. Otherwise, he would not have the confidence to stand on his own. Open a studio.

"In this case, don't worry about recording a single," Ye Jiaying suggested. "As expected, after the broadcast of "Ling Yun Zhi", August 1 will definitely be a hit. According to the consistent pattern of the producer of "Winter Sun" During the broadcast of the series, there will be a wave of intensive publicity to increase ratings. They will help Bayi win the newcomer award. At that time, the focus of publicity will definitely be Bayi. At that time, your singles will be released together, Bayi The two identities of actor and original singer come out together, the effect is that one plus one is greater than two. The more popular August 1 is, the more beneficial it will be for the promotion of the entire series. In this case, when the time comes, they will also be promoted. I will do my best."

   "Also, it just happens that we father and son have never really played this rap music, so we can just understand and learn." Xiao Siqi nodded and agreed with Ye Jiaying's opinion.

"I'm fine." Xiao Yao nodded and put a finger up and said: "But when it comes to possible "Ling Yun Zhi" publicity activities in the future, I have one principle. I can follow the arrangements during the summer vacation, but wait after school starts. , I’m not going to take time off to run promotional notices."

  "Of course, you are a student after all. There is no way to ask for leave to film a movie. Ask for leave to run publicity, let alone you, we will not agree." Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying also agreed.

  One breakfast, the family of three will negotiate everything that needs to be discussed.

  After breakfast, Ye Jiaying asked her agent to go to the "Winter Sunshine" to discuss the second wave of publicity plans after the launch of "Ling Yun Zhi". Xiao Siqi also went out to the studio, saying that he wanted to start contacting suitable rap talents to teach Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao has nothing to do today. I remembered that yesterday I promised Chen Mingfei to find him out to play. I took advantage of the fact that the rap teacher hadn’t found him yet, and "Ling Yun Zhi" hadn’t been broadcast yet, and there were still a few days of free time. Everyone find out and get together more.

  After a few phone calls, it turned out that the guys yesterday completely relaxed themselves because of the summer vacation. In addition, they drank alcohol yesterday, and at this time they all still stayed in bed and didn't get up. If you want to ask them to go out, you have to wait until the afternoon no matter what.

  The classmates couldn't make an appointment, Xiao Yao called Zhao Rui, Xu Fei, and Chen Xiaoting again, wanting to ask them out to find a place to play parkour. As a result, not long after the summer vacation, Zhao Rui and Xu Fei were both still lying on the bed and did not get up. They answered Xiao Yao’s phone in a daze, just arguing that the weather was too hot and not suitable for outdoor sports. Refused. Chen Xiaoting got up, but she was in Donghai City and was filming on the crew.

  It's rare to even want to go out to find a company. Looking at the empty house, Xiao Yao felt a moment of emptiness and boredom. The bored Xiao Yao simply fought his own photographic equipment and went to the street to play street photography that he had seldom played in the past two years.
