Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

When Jin Eunhua received a call from his manager, he had already terminated his contract with the record company for almost half a year.For a recording artist, not having a label contract is akin to being unemployed.The only thing that makes Jin Eun-hwa feel that the world is not so hopeless is that the copyright income from his records still arrives in his account every month. Although it is only two or three thousand after tax deduction, but fortunately, as a boy, he has no special needs Where to spend your money.After not renewing the gym fee, he could still save several hundred yuan every month, Jin Enhua couldn't help laughing at himself.

Fortunately, my manager is still loyal to me. You must know that the salary of the manager comes from the income of the artists under his banner, and the fixed 10% commission makes his interests and the interests of the artists tightly bound together.It's a pity that Jin Enhua has no income for a long time, and the income from the record share is not enough for Jin Enhua's manager to pay for a day's car.

"Yes, Kylin Records is interested in you, and we have a meeting tomorrow afternoon. You have no problem, right?" the manager reminded Jin Enhua nervously.

In fact, it doesn't matter that the agent is cautious, Jin Eunhua himself also attaches great importance to it.Not to mention that I have been unemployed for so long and finally a company is willing to interview me, the words Kirin Records alone are really shocking.Wen Jing, who was signed last year, has now completely recovered from the salty fish and officially stepped into the top-tier status of the big hit; and Li Huiwen, who has just signed, is even more news, especially the signing ceremony of the luxury cruise ship, which shocked the whole circle.Jin Eunhua looked at his WeChat Moments, and many friends lamented why Li Huiwen was not him.By the way, the research and development company of this WeChat software seems to be Kylin Software Technology Co., Ltd. I don’t know what kind of relationship it has with Kylin Records?

Jin Enhua put on his best suit and appeared downstairs in Donghai Center Building, and Jin Enhua's manager Xu Jingyao was also waiting for him downstairs.Seeing Jin Eun-hwa wearing a formal suit, combing his short hair neatly, and tidying up his beard.

Seeing Jin Enhua's appearance, Xu Jingyao nodded in satisfaction, "I thought you would give up on yourself after being silent for half a year. This image is good and clean! I said when I was in the record company that you are not suitable for the kind of long hair. Floating cream niche. It's a pity that the company doesn't listen and insists on following the popular elements in the market. When I have an interview with Kirin Records, I don't think they will give you any good contracts. After all, you don't have many achievements along the way. Take it out, this time the contract was terminated for more than half a year. However, there is an advantage of cooperating with Kirin Records, that is, you can sign the record contract, film and television contract and advertising contract together. I inquired, if the record contract is relatively cheap, Then Kirin will appropriately relax other contracts.”

"Brother Yao, do you still think I can make movies and TV shows? I haven't even shot commercials." Jin Enhua said shyly, "As long as the company can release records for me, let me do what I want. I am willing to make music, no matter how bad the contract is.”

Jin Eun-hwa is considered a music idiot, she only loves to sing.Whether it was the boring boyhood in the street club or the solo period, Jin Eun-hwa was not interested in anything other than music.He followed Xu Jingyao into the east gate of Donghai Center Building, and found the four elevators used by Qilin Entertainment and Culture Group.After the two walked into the elevator, they followed the instructions on the elevator sign and pressed the corresponding floor.

"Currently, Donghai Central Building has only set up permanent exclusive elevators for three companies, Kirin Group, Lotus Department Store and InterContinental Hotel. Other companies can only use the elevators in turn during rush hours." Xu Jingyao said suddenly, "So you know this The strength of this company? Don’t look at the fact that they have been established for the last two years, but why no big company will take action against them? That is because they have strength, and others will not easily offend them. The owner of the company, Li Wei, is a record From a company background, I think you have a lot of common language. Although I don’t know how the company will arrange for you in the end, at least I don’t think they will force you to do something you don’t want to do. Well, we’re on the floor , Talk less and watch more!"

Even the person who interviewed Jin Enhua was Li Wei, and Xu Jingyao left after sending Jin Enhua to him.Xu Jingyao came forward as a friend this time to help make connections, but Xu Jingyao is an agent of another company after all, so it is really not suitable for him to continue participating.

After Xu Jingyao left, Li Wei said to Jin Enhua: "Mr. Jin, I have heard your songs. Your voice is very distinctive, and your singing skills are also very stable, but the songs you sang before are not particularly suitable for you. But, I I don’t think this is not the reason why you are not popular. As an excellent professional singer, singing well is just your basic morality. Besides, you should cooperate with the promotion and marketing of the record. But as far as I know, your cooperation The popularity is not very high. Mr. Jin, you are not a super singer, nor a top-tier popular star. If there is no proper marketing behavior, no matter how good and suitable your songs are, they will be yellow. So, Mr. Jin, I Want to know why?"

After listening to Li Wei's question, Jin Eunhua's face turned red.

He was silent for a while, and then replied: "I know that answering like this will ruin the interview, but I have no habit of lying. Since I have a disagreement with the record company about my song, the record company does not respect my reputation. Under the premise, I took actions that did not cooperate with marketing to passively boycott my record release. At that time, I naively thought that as long as the record sales were low, the company would pay attention to my opinion and release the record according to my requirements. But I I forgot my ethics as a professional singer. Since I agreed to enter the studio to record songs, then I have to sing well and cooperate with the publicity seriously. Because of my negativity, my records naturally have no sales, and then lead to I was hidden by the company and finally terminated the contract. Because I set such a bad precedent, no record company is willing to give me a chance until now.”

"Mr. Jin, I am very satisfied with your frankness. We are willing to give you another chance." Li Wei replied, "But I have to say something up front. First of all, your contract will definitely be better than the average market conditions. Low, I think you should understand the specific reasons. But once you have a good performance, the contract conditions can be changed. Secondly, before you make achievements, you are not qualified to be the producer of your own record. The so-called achievement has two evaluation factors, one is to sell good results and achieve commercial success; the other is to win good awards and achieve artistic success. Don’t think that we only pursue sales. Even if it is a loss, we will let you make the record. In the end, no matter how dissatisfied you are with your record or the promotional activities arranged by the company, you cannot refuse. We will write these in the contract. What is your opinion? ?”

Li Wei knew some of Jin Enhua's problems, so he simply used a contract to restrain Jin Enhua to avoid embarrassment.

"I have no problem, I am willing to sign such a contract." Jin Enhua nodded hastily.Li Wei handed the contract drawn up by the legal affairs to Jin Enhua, and Jin Enhua took a look at the main terms and then signed the contract.

This is a ten-year contract. According to the agreement, within ten years, Jin Enhua needs to produce no less than 12 albums (or mini-albums); 30 singles; 3 tour concerts for the company.At present, Jin Eunhua can get 5% of the record revenue as income, in addition to various welfare benefits such as fixed monthly salary, housing allowance, transportation allowance, installation fee and makeup allowance.Jin Enhua silently estimated in his heart that he may get a fixed income of more than 1 yuan per month, which basically belongs to the salary of mid-level white-collar workers.

"Since Mr. Jin has signed the contract, why don't you follow me to the Kylin Music Business Department?" Li Wei took Jin Enhua for a stroll around the company while speaking.

"Kylin Entertainment Culture Group has two major business groups, Kylin Pictures and Kylin Interactive Entertainment, and three major business divisions, including Kylin TV, Kylin Music, and Kylin Brokerage. The floor we are on is the Kylin Music Division, Kylin Records Production Co., Ltd., Kylin Music Publishing Co., Ltd. is here. In addition, my exclusive VMusicStudio is also here. Kylin Records has a large recording studio, code-named Yu Qilin; and four small recording studios, code-named Yao Huang, Wei Zi, and Zhao Fan and Oubi. The reason for having such a name is that a girl who loves peonies was selected when the name was called for. Li Huiwen is currently busy recording her new album, so she basically stays in Oubi. Recording studio. In addition to the recording studio, most singers have rehearsal rooms here. The group also provides services such as SPA, steam bath and physical therapy massage. If the rehearsal is too tiring, you can apply to the administrative office. Okay, but SPA and therapeutic massage are very popular. Of course, we also have canteens, coffee bars, tea houses, dessert areas and other service facilities, you can slowly discover them.”

"Mr. Li, I have to say that Kirin Records has given me too much impact. I can't wait to record songs."

"No!" Li Wei shook his hand, "Your popularity has reached rock bottom now, releasing a record will only damage the company's reputation. So now you must obediently go to the show to promote it. At the same time, I still have a task to give You. You will not arrange an agent for the time being, and you will share an agent with 3HT. Mr. Jin, I have to tell you a cruel reality. Your current announcements are all because of the reputation of 3HT. Wait when, When you can rely on your own fame to win an announcement, then your single project is on the company’s schedule. When you are on the show with 3HT, learn from the sense of variety of these three children. By the way, protect it by the way The three children. You also know that some people in the industry have disgusting preferences. If they didn't bully me, maybe I could still turn a blind eye. But if you dare to do anything to my artists I have no choice but to chop off their claws. After all, 3HT is an underage group, and I don’t want them to see some places that are too dark, so I have to ask you and your manager to pay more attention to them.”

"I understand what you mean." Jin Enhua nodded, "I will study hard and try to pass your test as soon as possible. I will also take good care of my three little masters so that no one will bully them. You Don't worry, I'm a black belt in Judo."

After chatting with Jin Enhua, Li Wei will return to his office, and Jin Enhua will go to the rehearsal room where 3HT is.Because Jin Eun-hwa's current temporary status is 3HT's assistant manager, so the three little boys took a look at this tall and strong man, and then began to rehearse their dance.Because their new album is about to be released, so don't hurry up.
