Entertaining Children

After that seaside performance, the shooting of Eva's swimsuit special is all over. After hugging and saying goodbye to the entire filming team at the airport in San Juan the next day, Xiao Yao boarded the plane back to China by himself.

Xiao Yao went to Puerto Rico in late August. After the ten-day charging trip, the summer vacation is almost over. Back in Shencheng, it was also the day when school started.

After registration, opening ceremony, course selection, and a set of familiar procedures, Xiao Yao's junior year career officially began. After entering the university, Xiao Yao seldom stayed in the school honestly and only as a student. Now that school has ended his lazy vacation, Xiao Yao is considering doing something else in other areas after class.

One of Xiao Yao's most important work plans right now is Ye Jiaying's movie. As the leading actor of the film, Xiao Yao will definitely be the main force in the publicity before and during the film's release, and there will be many promotional activities to participate in. However, the film is still undergoing post-production work such as editing and soundtracking. After the post-production is completed, there is still a series of work to be done, such as submitting for review and determining the schedule. The filming was only completed in mid-August, and it is estimated that it will not be able to catch up with the schedule of September and October, so at least within this month, Xiao Yao does not need to do anything for this film.

Although there is no need to do anything about movies for the time being, Xiao Yao, who is relatively free, did not take other jobs, but focused on A Zi.

As early as New Year's Day, Xiao Yao promised to help A Zi, and made a series of arrangements for her.

In March, Xiao Yao introduced her to the three female anchors of Youyu as planned, and asked A Zi to go to their live broadcast room as a guest live broadcast. Some work has already been done. However, according to Xiao Yao's original arrangement, if it goes well, he will write a song for A Zi in half a year, and make great efforts to send A Zi to the Spring Festival Gala stage. It's still early for the Spring Festival Gala, but Xiao Yao hasn't finished writing songs for her yet.

In the past six months, whether it is the growth of Azi's popularity or the improvement of singing skills, in Xiao Yao's eyes, it can be regarded as smooth, and he has already reached the conditions for writing songs for her. However, during the two months of summer vacation, Xiao Yao basically Most of the time, he was shooting a movie in Ye Jiaying's crew. After the movie, exhausted physically and mentally, he went to Puerto Rico to take a vacation to recharge his batteries, and the job of writing songs for A Zi was postponed. It is now September, and after the charging trip in Puerto Rico, Xiao Yao is also in a state of resurrection with full blood, and it is time for Xiao Yao to fulfill his promise.

Writing songs is not difficult for Xiao Yao, and recording songs is not troublesome. Xiao Yao wrote and recorded songs for the three female anchors of Youyu last summer, and he finished it at the speed of one song in two days. But for Azi, Xiao Yao didn't just help her write and record songs, he also helped Azi consider the issue of song release and promotion.

At the beginning, the songs written by Xiao Yao to the three female anchors of Youyu were only for online distribution on the Internet. Although there were also physical discs, they only ordered one or two hundred copies, mainly for offline signing activities and live broadcasts. The prizes of the lottery are used, and the physical disk has not entered the physical audio-visual store and sold on a large scale on the Internet, so it is naturally not considered a physical release.

This is also a common practice for most Internet singers to release songs. Due to the development of society, especially the impact of digital music, the sales of physical records are going from bad to worse, and the income from physical records is almost negligible for singers. For record companies and singers, releasing records is more and more like a means of publicity and a status symbol for singers. Now some traditional singers don't release physical records when they release new songs, let alone those online singers?

At present, A Zi can only be regarded as an online singer, but the purpose of Xiao Yao and A Zi is not to make A Zi just an online singer, so in terms of distribution, the release of physical records as a status symbol is also the same. It must be done.

There are very few singers who order their own physical records and release them, and they are usually customized, and the quantity is not too much. The main physical record distribution is still operated by the record company.

Xiao Yao's own physical records have always been produced and released by Xiao Siqi's former owner, China Entertainment Records, which has a cooperative relationship with Qi Jia Studio, but Azi's new songs are not suitable for China Entertainment. Azi's vote for China Entertainment's demo was rejected, partly because Zhang Baoqing said hello. Even if China Entertainment now reluctantly agrees to release it because of Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao's fame and face, it is estimated that they will not spend too much effort on the album promotion of this new Internet singer who offended the master of quyi in their hearts.

Over the years, Xiao Yao has managed a certain amount of contacts in the Chinese music circle. In addition to China Entertainment, he also met many people with considerable status and voice in other record companies. For example, Diman Records with Chen Huan as the music director, Xingdie Records with Shazhou as the music director, and Haiyin Entertainment with Hong Wei as the chairman and CEO, Xiao Yao can all try it.

After some weighing, Xiao Yao finally chose Hong Wei's Haiyin Entertainment. During "Singer" last year, Hong Wei was deeply impressed by Xiao Yao, a little monster, and liked it from the bottom of his heart. Hearing that Xiao Yao was looking for her for work-related matters, he immediately agreed to have an interview with Xiao Yao. After making an appointment with Hong Wei, Xiao Yao took A Zi and Fang Yiran to the headquarters of Haiyin Entertainment.

The meeting place for everyone was in Hong Wei's office. After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Yao didn't say too many polite words, introduced Azi to Hong Wei, and then directly explained to Hong Wei the purpose of his visit.

"It's not a problem to help an online singer release a physical single," Hong Wei asked suspiciously, "But Lao Xiao came out of China Entertainment, and now we still have a cooperative relationship with China Entertainment. I heard that your studio is a The singer's physical record has always been handed over to China Entertainment for distribution, why didn't you go to China Entertainment and came to me instead?"

"Because A Zi didn't sign a contract with our studio, and he's not a singer under our studio. Also, A Zi had voted for a demo for China Entertainment before, but it wasn't picked by China Entertainment. Now let them release it for A Zi. Physical single records, they may feel awkward in their hearts." Xiao Yao explained.

"I voted for a demo but didn't get picked? Then you still want to help her release a single?" Hong Wei couldn't help frowning.

"It's been two years since I voted for the demo. Since the beginning of this year, she has been learning vocal music systematically from our school's teacher Han Yueqing for eight months. I can help her write and record songs, and I also help her If she has a physical body, it means that her current singing skills must be fine." Xiao Yao took out a USB flash drive and said, "Her new song has been recorded, and I brought it too. Sister Hong, you can listen to it first, if If you don’t think so, I’m sure I won’t force you to release a physical single.”

"Wait for this one first," Hong Wei waved his hand, did not take Xiao Yao's USB flash drive, but continued to ask, "Since this little girl's singing skills are fine, and it's your work, if you come forward in person, even if Hua It’s not convenient to distribute entertainment, so there should be many record companies willing to distribute it for you, right?”

"Not to mention, you wrote songs for Mr. Chen Huan's students and helped Shazhou save the scene. You should have a good friendship with Mr. Chen Huan and Lao Sha, right? One of them is in Diman, the other is in Xingdie, But they are all people who can talk!" Hong Wei continued, "I am not afraid of anyone when it comes to singing, but when it comes to the company's strength and distribution capabilities, my new company, which has been established for less than three years, is not as good as For old record companies like Diman and Xingdie, I am self-aware of this! Why did you choose my Haiyin to help you do this?"

"They are music directors, but you are the chairman!" Xiao Yao laughed.

"Come on!" Hong Wei glared at Xiao Yao and said, "It's just a single release! This kind of thing, their music director can also make a decision!"

"Okay, let me tell the truth!" Xiao Yao smiled wryly and shook his head, "Actually, it's because a bigwig in the music industry didn't want Ah Zi to be a singer! Part of the reason why China Entertainment rejected Ah Zi’s demo was because the folk art master had said hello to Hua Yu. This time helping Ah Zi release a physical single is also an important step for Ah Zi to become a real singer. I’m afraid of that What moves will the master of Quyi do? In case that master puts pressure on Diman or Xingdie, and A Zi is just a newcomer, I am afraid that Teacher Chen Huan or Teacher Shazhou will find it difficult to do so."

"Big brother in the folk art world?" Hong Wei was surprised, and instead of asking, he glared at Xiao Yao and said, "You are afraid that Teacher Chen Huan and Lao Sha will make it difficult, but you are not afraid of me? You really take care of me!"

"Isn't that because you have great energy, and you have always dared to do things, and you are not influenced by others?" Xiao Yao smiled, "Of course, I am not saying that Mr. Chen Huan and Mr. Shazhou are afraid of trouble, but they are just music directors after all. There are company bosses who are more thoughtful. I am afraid it will cause conflicts between them and the company's top management. This is not good. You are different. You are both the chairman and the music director. You are the biggest in the company. As long as others don't object to what you decide, there will be no problems in this regard."

This is the most important reason why Xiao Yao chose to ask Hong Wei for help.

"I'm not afraid of anyone, but I'm not stupid. Why do I offend people for no reason?" Hong Wei gave Xiao Yao a look and said, "To offend a tycoon for a rookie singer who is about to transform from an Internet celebrity anchor ? If it were you, what would you do?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded seriously, "I help Azi write songs, help Azi record songs, and help her go to the live broadcast rooms of other network anchors to make her popular. I don't have a record company, otherwise the physical single I posted it for her myself. Now you post it for her, or you can tell the outside world that I asked you to post it! Look at me helping Ah Zi so much. If you want to offend me, I am the one who offended that big brother. You Seeing that I am not afraid, what do you have to worry about?"

"That's right!" Hong Wei nodded subconsciously, then looked at A Zi suspiciously and said, "Hey! I said who is this little girl? You help her like this? Girlfriend? I participated in the "Singer" last year. I heard from your dad that your girlfriend is the daughter of Teacher Sun Zhihao’s family, and she grew up with your childhood sweetheart! Why, did you break up?”

"No, no!" A Zi blushed, and quickly waved his hands, "Xiao Yao and I are ordinary friends."

"Where did you say it went!" Xiao Yao smiled wryly, "I haven't broken up with my girlfriend, and we are in a good relationship. A Zi is my friend, um~ she can be regarded as a fellow student, she is my junior sister!"

"Junior Sister?" Hong Wei and Azi looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.

"Which kind of junior sister is she? She is also a student of the Shen Opera Department?" Hong Wei asked Xiao Yao.

"No, she has already graduated from college." Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, pointed at Fang Yiran, and said, "Azi is also an artist under Miss Fang Yiran's. We are artists under the same manager, aren't we from the same family? She I just signed a contract with Yiran this year, later than me, isn’t that my junior sister?” After having dinner with the three female anchors of Youyu in March, Azi followed Xiao Yao’s suggestion and signed a management contract with Yiran Fang.

"Go, do you have such a calculation? You are just taking advantage of others with me!" Fang Yiran rolled his eyes at Xiao Yao and said, "According to what you say, Sister La is also your junior sister?"

"Azi and Sister La can be said to be my artists, but you are not, you are my boss!" Fang Yiran continued with a wry smile, "Do you think it is you who are helping Azi with the release of the physical single? You can only listen in on the sidelines, is there a manager like me?"

"Isn't this my relationship with Sister Hong?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Don't worry, after Sister Hong agrees, you will be required to do the rest!"

"Yo, it sounds like I will definitely agree." Hong Wei said with a smile.

"Sister Hong," Xiao Yao said sternly, "Although I can't tell you the specific reasons, Azi and that big quyi guy don't actually have any deep hatred. When Azi succeeds, that big quyi guy won't There will be no more actions against her. You believe me, I will not harm you! You promise this matter, in the long run, it will definitely be beneficial!"

"Really?" Hong Wei stared into Xiao Yao's eyes and said.

"Really!" Xiao Yao looked into Hong Wei's eyes and nodded very seriously.

"Okay," Hong Wei nodded, and stretched out his hand to Xiao Yao, "Don't worry about anything else, let me hear how she sings. You know that Sister Hong doesn't rub the sand in her eyes, she speaks with strength. "

"No problem!" Xiao Yao confidently handed over the USB flash drive to Hong Wei.

Hong Wei’s office has a set of top-level audio equipment, and the external speakers are also top-notch. However, Hong Wei didn’t use external speakers. I listened to the songs on the U disk in an interfering manner.

"It's really good, the voice is very distinctive, and the singing is also very good!" After taking off the earphones, Hong Wei nodded to Xiao Yao.

"Then that's the deal?" Xiao Yao said happily, "As for the profit sharing, you can just send someone to discuss with Yi Yi."

"Wait," Hong Wei waved his hand and said, "It sounds really good, but you are a finished product. Who knows how many adjustments you made for her in the later stage, and how the sound was repaired? So, you and I will go to the recording studio , I want to listen to her performance in the recording studio live."

"Okay, there's no problem." Xiao Yao said confidently.

"Yes!" Ah Zi also nodded confidently.

Haiyin's headquarters also has a recording studio, and it is just downstairs from Hong Wei's office. Everyone quickly moved from Hong Wei's office to the recording studio.

Hong Wei does not have Xiao Yao's new song accompaniment, but the music file in the USB flash drive that Xiao Yao gave Hong Wei has multiple tracks. Hong Wei separated the accompaniment part and played it on the equipment in the recording studio. He asked A Zi to enter the recording room and sing the song on the USB flash drive live again. The result was also a very satisfied nod.

After Ah Zi sang and returned to the control room, Hong Wei smiled and asked Ah Zi and Fang Yiran, "A Zi, Miss Fang, you just signed a management contract, and A Zi has not signed a contract with a record company, right?"

"Could it be?" Xiao Yao, A Zi, and Fang Yiran glanced at each other, with joy on their faces.

"Yes!" Ah Zi and Fang still nodded together.

"Then are you willing to sign a contract with my company?" Sure enough, Hong Wei asked what they guessed in their hearts.

"Of course, what I'm talking about is that Ms. Fang, as an independent agent, signed a performance agreement with our company including records on behalf of her artists. I will not ask A Zi to change her agent." Hong Wei added, " But in this way, the online distribution of the digital music of this single has to be handed over to our company."

In fact, Hong Wei is also a veteran. Although she didn't know what kind of feud that bigwig in the music industry had with Ah Zi, she knew that Xiao Yao was a fine individual, and he would definitely not do something that would ask for trouble. Since Xiao Yao said that her agreement to this matter would definitely be beneficial in the long run, she naturally wanted to maximize this benefit as much as possible.

A Zi's image and singing skills are very good, and Xiao Yao is behind her to help her push hands, so she will definitely become popular. Ah Zi has not signed a contract with the record company yet, so Hong Wei will naturally be the first to act. Of course, she also knows the relationship between A Zi and Xiao Yao, A Zi will definitely not terminate the contract with Xiao Yao's agent, and there will be more benefits to A Zi's future development with this relationship, so Hong Wei didn't want to directly hold A Zi in his hands, but proposed a cooperative acting contract.

"Yes, of course I am willing!" Azi nodded repeatedly.

"Yes!" Fang Yiran said, "If you sign an acting contract, the online distribution will naturally be handed over to your company."

Xiao Yao didn't make a sound, but judging from his smile, of course he was happy to see the result.

Signing a contract with a record company was also one of the conditions agreed between Ah Zi and his father. This condition was originally not in Xiao Yao's plan for A Zi, but unexpectedly it was achieved so unintentionally. For Xiao Yao and Azi, this was a surprise.

"Then I'll send someone to discuss the details of the contract with Miss Fang," Hong Wei said.

"Okay." Fang still nodded in agreement.

"Xiao Yao," Hong Wei looked at Xiao Yao again, "I signed A Zi, but I have nothing to do with you. No matter how good our company's publicity ability is, since you were originally helping her, then this new single You can't escape the propaganda work. You have to come forward to help promote it!"

"No problem, it should be!" Xiao Yao nodded and smiled.

"Okay, since this is the case, then the task of promoting the new song will be handed over to you!" Hong Wei nodded, and assigned the task to Xiao Yao, "You have a lot of ideas, and you often throw new songs out on various occasions, and you also Can create topics. How to make Ah Zi’s new song debut, you plan and operate this matter!”

"Okay, I'll do it!" Xiao Yao patted his chest and said.
