【Jiangzhou Xingguang Media Conference Room】

Since signing the contract, Xie Zhen and Bai Chen have been busy writing songs, because when signing with the company, one of the clauses is that they can write their own songs, and when they release an album depends entirely on when they can complete their creation.Although neither Xie Zhen nor Bai Chen came from majors, Bai Chen is obviously more comfortable with writing songs. Fortunately, although Xie Zhen can't write songs, he can play and sing, so he settles for the next best thing and becomes Auditor for the song.

By the way, this so-called Xingguang Media is a company that has just been established in recent years. It is said that the boss of the company was previously the head of the China region of a well-known international record company. For some reason, in the middle of last year, this The person in charge of the China region resigned in a flash, and then founded Xingguang Media. Except for a few people who followed the boss from the original company, the first group of artists they signed were Xie Zhen and Bai Chen.Considering that the company is short of manpower, the managers of Xie Zhen and Bai Chen are the people who discovered them in the bar, that is, Derrick, the artist director of this company.

Compared with Bai Chen's calmness, Xie Zhen, who first came into contact with the record company, seemed a little too excited, but when he came to the company and found out that the company was very small, Xie Zhen who was smiling like a flower Shocked, as if someone had given him a drink, he almost fainted at the door of the company.Xie Zhen whispered in Bai Chen's ear: "Did we make a mistake, it's not here." Bai Chen replied: "Look at the business card yourself, it's here, you can't be wrong." Xie Zhen continued: " But...but...why is it different from what is advertised on the Internet?"

Bai Chen saw it strangely and said: "What's so strange about this? Publicity on the Internet must be publicized in a good direction. What idiot would publicize the shortcomings of his company? Besides, such a scale is not enough. The development of big record companies is quite good, and most of the large-scale record companies are not satisfactory." Xie Zhen wondered: "The large-scale record companies are not good? Why?" Bai Chen Said: "First of all, a large-scale record company has a lot of artists under it, and there must be a lot of popular ones, but the resources of the entire company are only so much. Do you think that little-known newcomers like us who have just signed , How much can you get? But this kind of small company is different, there are not so many artists, whoever can be popular, the company must revolve around who, I said that, you should understand it very well."

In the middle of Bai Chen's science education to Xie Zhen, Derrick happened to enter the door. Regarding Bai Chen's remarks, Derrick didn't comment, and even pretended not to hear it.The few people behind Derrick are professional music producers. Although Derrick can’t say he knows nothing about music, it’s almost like he doesn’t know anything about music. After all, his major is artist management, not album production.But those few producers are different, they are the producers who have made albums for the top singers. The purpose of Derrick asking them to come to the meeting is also very simple. It is to help identify the songs written by Bai Chen, if they can be used If it doesn't work, ask them to help polish it.

When singing in bars, they are basically cover songs, and there is almost no chance to sing original songs. In addition, the original songs that Bai Chen sang before do not belong to him because of copyright, so this time Bai Chen What I brought was just a demo of 5 songs.After listening to five songs in a row, the producer nodded frequently, saying that the songs written by Bai Chen are very good, as long as they re-arrange the songs, they can be used directly.However, there is one more thing, which is also the most important thing. An album must have at least 10 songs. If there are only 5 songs, an EP can be released.

However, the budget of an EP cannot be compared with the budget of an album, the latter is almost twice as much as the former.A larger budget means that more funds can be allocated for publicity, and more publicity funds will increase the exposure.The current society is so realistic. If a successful album does not cooperate with the promotion, it means that 90% will not be successful. This impetuous era is no longer the era when the wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and gold always shines. There is a saying that is very appropriate, money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible.

An album is very cumbersome from production to release. The production of the album itself takes a long time, and the promotion work has already started a month or more before the release of the album. If you wait for the release of the album before starting the promotion Work, the day lily is cold, and there is no such a brain-dead company that would do this. If there is a company that does this, it means that this company is really brain-dead, or maybe they are the artists of their own family. , is really confident.

After listening to the 5-song demo, the producer asked Derrick: "These five songs they wrote are pretty good and can be put into the album, so did they only write five songs? What about the remaining five songs?" Do it?" Derrick thought for a while and said: "Spend money, hire someone to write songs, the company has to cooperate with the promotion of the album in advance, so time is already very tight, we must act immediately, so the matter of the album, just Please excuse me." Just when everything had been arranged, Bai Chen, who was originally silent, suddenly interrupted Derrick's words.

Bai Chen said: "I can write the remaining five songs of the album, you don't need to spend money, ask others to write." Derrick was stunned for a moment, and then kindly reminded: "Is there still time to write now? You know , your album is tentatively scheduled to be released at the end of this year or early next year. Before the release of the album, a few songs will be released in advance as a promotional song. Are you sure you can make it in time?" Bai Chen said firmly, expressionless: " No problem, of course there is time, you heard it just now, I have already written five songs, isn’t it very good.”

Seeing Bai Chen's calm look and overwhelming self-confidence, Derrick finally agreed to Bai Chen's request and wrote the remaining five songs by himself, but Derrick also set a time limit for them to record the 5 songs that had already been written. Songs, while writing new songs, if all 5 songs are recorded and the remaining 5 songs are not finished, then they have no choice but to pick songs that have already been written by others.

Walking out of the company's gate, Xie Zhen asked worriedly: "Are you really confident just now, or were you impulsive? Are you sure you can write five new songs in such a short period of time? I'll probably calculate, two weeks at most. "Bai Chen said: "Of course there are difficulties, but if you don't challenge it, how do you know that I will not be able to complete it?" Xie Zhen asked suspiciously: "Isn't it good to let others write songs? Why are you so resistant? I I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.” Bai Chen continued: “Of course there’s nothing wrong with letting others write songs, and most people are doing the same thing now, but my dream is to let others hear what I wrote. Songs, if I have lost the ability to write songs, then my singing will lose its meaning, so...you can forgive me for my waywardness, just think of it as fulfilling my own dream."

Compared with the tense high school curriculum, the university curriculum is relatively looser, and a large part of it depends on one's own self-consciousness, especially in art colleges.Since the beginning of school, although Deng Xiaoqi's grades are not too bad, they have been hovering in the middle and lower reaches.Sun Hao glanced at Deng Xiaoqi's report card secretly, seeing that the other party was not nervous at all, Sun Hao whispered to her: "Hey, Xiaoqi, are you... not worried at all?" Deng Xiaoqi asked in confusion Said: "What am I worried about? Didn't I pass?" Sun Hao continued: "A pass is enough? Are you so unmotivated? Don't tell me, your grades are still quite stable. Although a pass is a pass, it is still on the bottom. "

"Let's count down. I'm still in the adjustment stage. As long as I don't fail, other ordinary things are fine." Things like self-motivation cannot be forced. Seeing that Deng Xiaoqi still doesn't care, Sun Hao didn't waste any more words.Deng Xiaoqi smiled and said to Sun Hao: "After class, go to the supermarket with me." Sun Hao said vigilantly: "Your expression is definitely not simple. My instinct tells me that you haven't held your fart well!" With these words, Deng Xiaoqi's smiling face disappeared immediately, and her face changed faster than turning the pages of a book.Sun Hao raised his hands, made a gesture of surrender, and said to Deng Xiaoqi: "Okay! Why don't I go! I'll go!" Deng Xiaoqi glanced at Sun Hao, and muttered softly: "It's not too bad."

On the way to the supermarket, Sun Hao kept staring at the phone, and kept mumbling something.Deng Xiaoqi asked: "I said, Brother Hao, what are you mumbling about?" Sun Hao replied: "The lines, I'm going to audition for the crew tomorrow." Deng Xiaoqi said: "What role?" Hey? Why don’t you try it too, in case you succeed.” Deng Xiaoqi said, “Haven’t you auditioned yet? Where did you get the script from?” Sun Hao said : "The TV series is adapted from a novel, and I read the lines several times according to the original novel." Deng Xiaoqi said: "Send me the novel, and I am familiar with it."

"Hey? Didn't you say that you went to interview for a role before, and it's almost inseparable? How is it now?" Deng Xiaoqi said: "Don't mention it, when I went to the interview, the director kept praising me, but I don’t have anything to say until now, I guess it’s pornography.” Sun Hao said: “It’s normal, this kind of situation is very common, believe me, we will be rejected many times in the future.” Deng Xiaoqi pouted her mouth arrogantly Said: "Who is with you and us? Don't pretend to be familiar with me! You are you and I am me. Don't confuse the public and let others hear that I am your girlfriend." Sun Hao raised his voice deliberately and said : "What's wrong with being my girlfriend? Am I not handsome?" Deng Xiaoqi said, "Do you think I am such a superficial person?" Sun Hao continued: "So you are admitting that I am handsome? thank you!"

"Hehe! Shameless!"

"I'll take it as if you're praising me."

【Beijing Maple Garden Drive-In Cinema】

The sky was getting dark, and the warm lights in the old-fashioned car shone on the body. Although the heater was not turned on, it didn't feel cold at all.On the big screen, the classic love movie "Titanic" is played. Although Qian Sanyi and Lin Miaomiao have watched it many times, they will still be moved by the plot.Lin Miaomiao's tears were relatively low, even before the big ship was loaded onto the iceberg, she had already cried. For this reason, Qian Sanyi deliberately laughed at her.

In fact, before coming here, Qian Sanyi specially bought Lin Miaomiao a necklace in the shape of a heart. Seeing that the movie was just playing to the scene of "the heart of the ocean was thrown into the water by the heroine", Qian Sanyi was very happy. Responding to the occasion, he took out the necklace from his trouser pocket and put it on Lin Miaomiao's neck.Seeing that Lin Miaomiao was in a daze and hadn't recovered, Qian Sanyi touched Lin Miaomiao's forehead and said to her, "What's the matter? Why are you so dazed? Are you stupid?"

Lin Miaomiao took the necklace that Sanyi gave her, looked at it again and again, and said after a long time: "This necklace must be very expensive, besides, I don't usually like to wear necklaces, or you... ...Go back." Lin Miaomiao thought carefully, how could Qian Sanyi not understand?Qian Sanyi stopped Lin Miaomiao from taking off the necklace, and said to her: "I bought this specially for you, how can I return it? Not only can I not return it, but I also want to let others know that this necklace is my money." Trinity gave it to you." Lin Miaomiao said with a smile: "I can't tell, you have a desire to control." Qian San whispered in Lin Miaomiao's ear: "How do you know? I Let me tell you, there are still many things you don’t know, learn slowly in the future, don’t worry.”

"Why are you so unreasonable when it comes to your mouth?"

Qian Sanyi said righteously: "Stop here! Don't pretend to be innocent! If you don't understand what I'm saying, why do you say I'm not serious? It's obvious that your thoughts are dirty, and you still don't want to admit it." Lin Miao Miao said: "Qian Sanyi! You are too good at making mistakes! I really wonder if you majored in bullying in college? You gave me a necklace just now, and I was quite touched. After a while, you have revealed your true colors "Qian Sanyi said: "It's obvious that you don't have romantic cells, and you blame me. Romantic! Do you understand? Romantic..."

"How is your comic business? Do you plan to continue?" Lin Miaomiao said: "Of course, although I have no ideas at the moment, but... I still don't plan to give up." Qian Sanyi said: "I I think you can look at other people's works to see if you can get any new ideas. It is definitely not good to always dream there. Don't be too ambitious, and don't always think about those unrealistic things."

Lin Miaomiao interrupted impatiently: "Okay, don't give me lessons, let me talk about your own ideas. What are your plans after graduation?" Qian Sanyi said: "Before, my mother also I talked to me about this matter, she wanted me to study abroad, but I didn’t want to go abroad, the development in China is pretty good, and even if I don’t go abroad, I can still continue to take the entrance exam, it doesn’t make any difference whether I go abroad or not. "

From a selfish point of view, Lin Miaomiao also doesn't want Qian Sanyi to study abroad. Once he goes abroad, the barrier between them may not be the distance of thousands of kilometers. Will he like it? other people?Will he not love himself as much now?But at the same time, there is still a voice in Lin Miaomiao's heart, which tells Lin Miaomiao that she should not be so selfish. If she really gets what she wants, Qian Sanyi will give up her bright future because of her. Let alone whether Qian Sanyi will regret it, Lin Miaomiao can guarantee that she will not regret it?

"Why don't you talk again? Didn't I promise you not to go abroad? Don't worry, I will definitely not break my promise." Lin Miaomiao was silent for a long time until she heard what Qian Sanyi said It was only after this sentence that I came back to my senses.Lin Miaomiao took Qian Sanyi's hand and said, "Qian Sanyi, can you promise me something?" Qian San nodded and said, "What is it? Tell me! I will definitely promise you." Lin Miaomiao was serious Said to Qian Sanyi: "Don't give up the great opportunity to study abroad because of me. I think Auntie is right, you should study abroad."

After saying this, both of them fell silent.Rather than saying it was silence, it would be better to say that both of them had too much to say to each other, but neither of them knew where to start.Qian Sanyi pulled Lin Miaomiao into his arms, and kissed her vigorously.At this moment, they don't need to say anything to each other, let alone make any promises to each other, because the other party already understands what they want to say even before they speak.
