Entertaining Children

"President..." Liu Zhenxi felt that he couldn't bear to listen to such a brat like Xiao Yao haggling with the president of his company, so he couldn't help but speak to President Li in a tone of resentment.

President Li waved his hand to Liu Zhenxi, looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Then what do you think?"

Hong Xiuyan is the first sister of KM Company. Her development in Huaxia is very concerned by the company's senior management. In the past, President Li had often heard her talk about Xiao Yao from Hong Xiuyan. Last night, Hong Xiuyan greeted the company's senior management and said that she would bring Xiao Yao to the company for a visit. President Li deliberately learned about Xiao Yao's information in detail. He knew Xiao Yao's situation much better than the choreographer in the company. He knew that the Chinese boy in his early twenties in front of him was not just an idol star and creator.

"I can write songs, and choreograph dances. It's not a problem for Gstar's comeback mini-album to have double title songs." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "But promoting their two title songs at the same time is not in line with market rules, right? As I said just now, Liu Zhenxixi is your company's choreographer, and I'm an artist, so it's meaningless to compare me with her."

"Xiao Yaoxi dare not compare?" Hearing Xiao Yao's emphasis on his and Liu Zhenxi's identities, Gstar's maid Huizhen whispered.

President Li didn't speak, and looked at Xiao Yao with a smile, waiting for his next words.

Sure enough, Xiao Yao continued: "What I mean is, I can write a Korean song for Gstar, and then choreograph a dance for this song. If you think the quality of the song is good enough to be released, then I will release the copyright of the song." Sell ​​it to you. Of course, the copyright contract is in the form of sharing. I want to rent one of your recording studios for a period of time, about ten days. As for the part of choreography, it will be regarded as my payment for renting your recording studio If you feel that the songs I wrote and the dances I choreographed do not meet your requirements, then I will pay you for the rental fee of the recording studio."

"Sounds like a good suggestion." President Li smiled and nodded.

"Also," but Xiao Yao didn't finish, and continued, "If you choose my song, it must be released immediately in their comeback mini-album, and it cannot be included in future albums. Because if you think my song The song is more suitable for their comeback title song than your original title song, I have two additional requests."

"Please tell me." President Li said calmly as before.

"The first request." Xiao Yao raised a finger and said, "I came to Korea this time to participate in the Seoul International Film Festival. If you use my song as the title song, then the movie I starred in will be screened at the festival." At that time, please Xiuyan Nuna and your company's Park Zhixianxi to go to the scene to stand for our movie."

In addition to the judges' award, the Seoul International Film Festival also has an award voted by the audience, which is also for the director.

Korean film festivals must be dominated by local Korean audiences. In order to win this Audience Award, in addition to the quality of the movie itself, it is also very helpful to invite some popular Korean stars to the platform.

If Hong Soo Yeon is the first sister among KM artists, then Park Ji Hyun is the first brother among KM artists, and in terms of fame and influence, Park Ji Hyun is much bigger than Hong Soo Yeon. However, Xiao Yao only met Park Zhixian once in a TV program in Huaxia many years ago, and it was Park Zhixian on stage at that time. He hid in the auditorium and observed secretly. The two had no communication at all, and they didn't know each other. Hong Xiuyan has a good relationship with Xiao Yao's mother and son, so it's not a big problem to invite her to the platform, but if you want to invite Park Zhixian, you have to work hard from KM company.

"Yes!" President Li thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Park Zhixian happened to be in South Korea during this time, and he also has a schedule recently. The Seoul International Film Festival is a major event in the Korean entertainment industry recently. Park Ji-hyun and Hong Soo-yeon are both actors and have acted in movies. It is also beneficial for them to go to the film festival together.

"The second request." Xiao Yao raised a finger again and said, "I'm quite interested in your Korean TV station's song playing program, and I want to go up and experience it."

"Do you want to be on a Korean hit show?" President Li finally said in surprise, "There are many music programs in Korean TV programs that allow foreign singers to do promotion, but the hit shows are all for Korean singers, artists and groups. , and there is no stage for foreign singers."

"It's indeed a TV show." Xiao Yao smiled, "I'm a Chinese artist who has already debuted, so those returning to the stage, saying goodbye to the stage, and debuting on the stage are definitely not suitable for me, but I heard that SBS "Inkigayo" has a special stage for some special artists. If your company is willing to help you contact me, I should still have hope. Of course, in order to meet the requirements of the program, I will perform a Korean song .”

"But there is one thing I need to explain in advance." Xiao Yao continued, "The songs I performed by myself can be given to your company for distribution, but the copyright will not be sold to your company. I will authorize your company for this song The distribution in South Korea adopts a cooperative model, and the proportion of sharing is different."

"If Xiao Yaoxi wants to release your own Korean songs in Korea and enter the Korean music scene, you can sign a regional brokerage contract with our company, so that we can legitimately allocate resources to help you develop in Korea and play Korean music. The program is also very easy." President Li said, "Of course, you are a well-known celebrity artist, we will definitely not sign a contract with you on the terms of a trainee or a new artist, we can provide you with a brokerage contract based on Xiuyan's current terms .”

Now it is very common for artists to carry several brokerage contracts at the same time. Some are signed to different brokerage companies for different industry developments, for example, one company is in charge of record business, and the other is in charge of acting business. Some brokers sign different brokerage companies in different markets. For example, one company is responsible for the business of their own country, and the other is responsible for the business of a certain overseas country. Among these different brokerage contracts, some are affiliated, and some are not affiliated with each other, which is not uncommon in Korea and China.

But Xiao Yao only has an independent agent now, and he didn't even sign with a large Chinese agency, so how could he sign with a Korean entertainment company?

Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile and said: "Thank you, President Li, but I didn't intend to come to Korea to develop, but because I came to Korea to participate in the film festival recently, I just had fun in Korea by the way. By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to say The release time of my song is not before I performed on the Dage stage, but after. The Dage stage will be the stage where my new song will appear."

"Xiao Yaoxi wants to debut a new song on the TV show, singing a new song that no one has heard?" Yuni said in surprise this time, "There was no music download and various broadcasts beforehand, and it was too much to do so." Are you adventurous?"

"I'm not here to compete with you guys. I don't have any music downloads, album sales, and various broadcast performances." Xiao Yao laughed, "I just want no car accidents on the live stage!"

"Xiao Yao has always been like this in Huaxia's TV programs." Hong Xiuyan smiled, "Xiao Yao has participated in Huaxia's "Singer" and "The Voice", except for the song that he collaborated with another student in "The Voice" Song aside, every single song he sang on those two shows was new and unreleased, turning both TV shows into stages for his new releases."

"I basically agree," President Li said after thinking for a while, "but I also have two conditions. The first one, we have to internally review the songs and dances of Gstar. The second one, we don't approve your own songs It has been reviewed, but because you are not a signed artist of our company, we may not spend too much resources on publicity. You cannot ask us in this regard, such as how many times it must be broadcast on radio and television after release. of!"

"I said the first one just now, and it is subject to review." Xiao Yao smiled, "There is no problem with the second one. In fact, I think this song should not require you to spend any resources and energy after playing on stage. To promote. When I was in Huaxia, I never spent too much energy on the promotion of the song after it was released. The stage of the new song release is the best promotion, and the fans are waiting for my song to be released after that."

"Okay, I agree!" President Li nodded.

"The last request." Xiao Yao said again.

"Any more requests?" President Li looked at Xiao Yao.

"I will record the official version of these two songs. I will definitely produce them in your company, and I will use your company's recording studio and practice room. But except for the five Gstars, all I need is the place and equipment. No people. That is to say, I am responsible for all the work on these two songs, and I don’t want other people from your company to interfere with my work. I need absolute control over the recording of these two songs.”

"You don't even need an arranger and sound engineer?" President Li asked with a smile.

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "I can do these myself!"

President Li was surprised, and said again: "What about the musician? You don't know all the instruments, do you?"

"I will do it if I need it." Xiao Yao said, "I don't need it when I'm recording, but I still need it when I'm on the show. But if I'm on the show, I either use the accompaniment or the band of the TV station, so I don't need your company's Musician."

"Okay, I'll wait and see!" President Li nodded, "How long will it take to see your two songs?"

"I'm not in a hurry, I'll finish the Gstar song first." Xiao Yao said, "After fifteen minutes, I invite these five people to the recording studio to get the lyrics and score, and get familiar with the whole song first. Before three o'clock in the afternoon, I should You can finish the soundtrack. Then you can start practicing. If you want to watch the dance first, let them learn the dance first. If you want to listen to the song first, let them record first. By tomorrow morning, you should be able to complete one. By tomorrow In the evening, we should be able to perform together.”

"Two days? So fast?" President Li asked in surprise.

"What? President Li has no confidence in the strength of your company's girl group?" Xiao Yao looked at President Li and said.

"No, I'm surprised by your speed." President Li said, "You can make the soundtrack by yourself before three o'clock this afternoon, and you can start dancing directly? Don't you need to spend time writing songs and choreographing? The songs and dances are all prepared by you in advance?"

"If I say it was created improvised, you may not believe it, so take it as a work I created before." Xiao Yao laughed.

"Really improvised?" President Li was surprised, and then decided not to explore, and answered Xiao Yao's previous question, "Let's listen to the song first! Listen to the official version tomorrow morning. If possible, it will be available on the music source website the day after tomorrow. source so they can make a comeback this weekend."

"Are you going to be on the comeback stage this weekend?" Xiao Yao said with a little surprise, "It's only been half a week, and the download and broadcast volume of music sources are at a disadvantage. It's hard to get one."

Today is Tuesday, and the day after tomorrow is Thursday. The three major TV stations in Korea play songs every week, and the results are calculated based on the data of the week. Just like calculating the weekly box office of a movie, there is still a huge gap in data between a song released on Thursday and Monday. Although the three major TV stations have different methods of counting a song, they all have the item of calculating the sales volume of music downloads for a week.

"It doesn't matter!" President Li laughed, "As long as the song is good enough, it doesn't make much difference whether we get one this week or the next. There are no more activities, and it was originally planned to let them come back this week!"

"Okay!" Xiao Yao nodded. This was the company's plan, and he couldn't say anything, so he turned his head to the girls of Gstar and said, "Find me in recording studio No. 3 in fifteen minutes, and I'll give you the lyrics and score of the new song."

The song that Xiao Yao is going to give to this girl group is the song of the previous Korean girl group, and now he can write out the lyrics and score. However, the practice room they are in now is for dance practice, and there is no pen and paper as far as they can see. When Xiao Yao went to see the recording studio just now, he saw that the recording studio had pens and blank staves, and he was going to the recording studio to make music, so he simply asked a few girls to find him in the recording studio.

"Teacher, can you tell us the name of the new song?" the youngest maknae asked.

"I'll know soon," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Look forward to it!"

"President Li, I'm going to the recording studio to write a score, so I'm leaving!" Xiao Yao turned around and bowed slightly to President Li, saying goodbye.

"Thank you!" President Li also bent slightly, and continued, "Although you said that you don't need other people's help, but you are a guest after all, I still want to arrange a sound engineer to help you. Don't worry, that one The sound engineer will never interfere with your work, I will tell him to follow your command completely. I sent him there, just worried that you are not familiar with the equipment in our recording studio or if you need our help. I know Xiuyan I will be with you today, but Xiuyan is an artist of our company, if there is any need, it is inappropriate for Xiuyan to run errands."

President Li actually wanted to see how Xiao Yao took care of all the work in the recording studio by himself, but as the president, with his status there, it didn’t feel right to accompany Xiao Yao throughout the recording, so he wanted to find someone from a company. The sound engineer will check it out.

"Okay, thank you then!" Xiao Yao knew President Li's intentions, but he was not afraid of being seen, and he didn't care about it.

"You're welcome!" President Li waved his hand with a smile, and then greeted the others, "It's nothing, I'm leaving first!"

"President, go slowly!" The other Koreans bowed one after another.

After President Li left, the choreographer Liu Zhenxi also left.

Xiao Yao waited for the two to leave, went to the chair and picked up the mobile phone, ready to say goodbye to the water friends, end the live broadcast and go to the recording studio to write the score.

Seeing Xiao Yao pick up the phone, the five girls of Gstar also thought of the live broadcast. Both the president and the choreographer left, and they also let go. They immediately surrounded Xiao Yao and said, "Xiao Yaoxi, are you going to end the live broadcast? You just said that when the live broadcast ends, let us talk to Huaxia Netizens are interacting, isn’t it now?”

"Ah, yes!" Xiao Yao also remembered what he said to them at the beginning of the live broadcast, pointed the camera at several girls, stepped back a few steps, framed them all in the frame, and moved closer to the phone's microphone and said, "It's going to be broadcast soon, and finally let the Korean girls from Gstar say hello to everyone!"

After the five girls bowed to the camera and said hello, Xiao Yao switched the phone camera to selfie mode, and was about to bid farewell to the water friends and start broadcasting.

At this time, Hye Jin, the youngest member of Gstar, ran to Hong Soo Yeon and whispered a few words. Hong Xiuyan smiled, walked up to Xiao Yao and said with a smile, "There's still me!"

"Oh, yes!" Xiao Yao turned the camera back again, pointed at Hong Xiuyan and said, "I forgot to say just now, this time when I came to visit an entertainment company in Korea, Sister Xiuyan is my guide, let everyone meet Meet this Korean goddess!"

"Hello friends from Huaxia, I'm Hong Xiuyan!" Hong Xiuyan waved her hand and said in Chinese, "Gstar just now is a girl group of our company, Xiao Yao is going to help them write a song and choreograph a dance .It will be launched on the music source website in Korea as soon as the day after tomorrow, and I hope everyone will support it!"

"You advertised for them!" Xiao Yao smiled, and saw a lot of barrage of questions in the live broadcast room, then switched back to the selfie mode, nodded and admitted, "Yes, I am going to help Gstar write songs and choreograph , it will go online the day after tomorrow! But the song I wrote for them is Korean, and it will only be launched on the music source website in Korea the day after tomorrow, so that they can return to the stage on the Korean music show. For Huaxia's music website, Might have to wait a while."

"Okay! I'm going to write a song! Today's live broadcast ends here. Next time I encounter something interesting, I will start a live broadcast to share with you. Goodbye!" The camera was switched back to let Gstar and Hong Xiuyan talk to Shuiyou After they said goodbye, Xiao Yao also said goodbye to the water friends, and closed the live broadcast software.
