Chapter 154 Sign anyone

The desire aroused by Fan Xiaopang gradually subsided.

Qi Wei, who was released from Mr. Zhou, left the film and television company with a proud face and high spirits.

When I went downstairs and passed the record company downstairs, I happened to see someone coming out of my record company.

A somewhat short and muscular man, dressed more formally in a suit and ties, holding a piece of paper that looked like a resume in his hand, looking frustrated and lost.

Qi Wei understood what was going on as soon as he saw it.

Now Qi Wei's record company has grown to a large scale. With the great success of Qi Wei's second album, he has become a well-known record company in the mainland.

In addition, Qi Wei's songs are really entertaining.

Therefore, those new singers or groups who have dreams of becoming stars and want to make a name for themselves by releasing records have almost all submitted their resumes to Qi Wei's record company, and many people come for interviews to try their luck at getting a contract signing.

Obviously, the person in front of me failed the interview.

The man was dejected and the resume in his hand was almost crumpled into a ball. He was unwilling to do so.

He heard footsteps coming upstairs and looked up following the footsteps, but he didn't expect to see Qi Wei.

He immediately turned from worry to joy and became excited.

"You are Qi Wei! Hello, my name is Huang Bo. I am your fan. Can you sign your autograph for me?"

He spoke in Mandarin with a Shandong accent, and at the same time took out Qi Wei's record from his briefcase and asked for his autograph.

"Okay." When it doesn't disturb him, Qi Wei will always satisfy his fans' demands.

Still very much a fan.

Qi Wei took his record and looked him over. The young Huang Bo was still a little immature and asked with a smile: "You are here to interview a singer."

"yes."

"How did it turn out?"

"Maybe I'm not suitable for eating this bowl of rice." He said helplessly with a bitter smile.

After signing his name, Qi Wei glanced at him, wrote "May all your wishes come true" and said, "Really? I happen to be free, let's chat?"

He said and returned the signed record to him.

After hearing Qi Wei's words and noticing the message written by Qi Wei on the record, Huang Bo immediately understood that he still had a chance to grab the last life-saving straw.

"No problem." He replied happily.

Qi Wei nodded.

Then Huang Bo followed Qi Wei to Qi Wei's office.

"You can sit down wherever you like," Qi Wei said with a smile.

Qi Wei said that Huang Bo couldn't be casual, so he became more and more reserved when sitting on the chair. He felt very uncomfortable, sitting on the chair with his buttocks feeling uncomfortable and he didn't dare to move.

His eyes couldn't help but glance at the cabinet behind Qi Wei.

The cabinet is filled with various photos, certificates and trophies.

Huang Bo has good eyesight. In many group photos, Huang Bo recognized many celebrities, both in the entertainment industry and not in the entertainment industry.

Certificates and trophies are some of the honors Qi Wei has received.

These are some important music awards in the mainland, and Huang Bo recognized many of them, including the "China Golden Record Award", "Oriental Chart", "Global Chinese Chart" and other well-known awards.

I have won all kinds of awards, such as Best Newcomer, Best Male Singer, Best Album, Best Album Producer, etc.

There are also three albums with genuine sales certificates issued by Huaxia Publishing House.

Judging from the sales certificates, Qi Wei's "Shengtian Banzi" and his second album "Twenty Years Old" released in the name of the band have exceeded two million copies in mainland China. His first solo album "Nineteen Years Old" released last year

》has exceeded 3 million copies.

In fact, Qi Wei's second album is even more popular than his first album. This is not only due to the quality of the album, but also the popularity accumulated by Qi Wei's first two albums.

As for why the sales volume of my second album can’t be compared to the original one, firstly, piracy is becoming more and more rampant now, which has a greater impact on the sales volume of the original album. Also, my first album was released last year and has been sold for more than a year. The time is earlier.

a lot of.

If things keep going, Qi Wei's second album will be able to sell more than 3 million copies.

You must know that if an album's original sales exceed one million, it is already a huge hit. Not many people can achieve this achievement.

And each of Qi Wei's records can sell more than two million.

This makes Qi Wei's album almost unique in sales of genuine copies in the mainland.

This made Huang Bo feel envious and filled with emotion.

Not to mention a hit album, for him now, being a signed singer and releasing an album is already his dream.

The complacency and ambition I had at that time was almost polished away by years of frustration.

The reality is difficult to accept, but it is also forced to be accepted.

Now I am just making a last-ditch effort towards my original dream.

It took a long time for him to turn his eyes away from the cabinet full of honors behind Qi Wei, and glance over with envy from time to time.

The two exchanged pleasantries. Qi Wei briefly asked Huang Bo a few music theory questions and answered them fluently. He nodded and said, "You can play the guitar, right?"

Seeing Huang Bo nodded, Qi Wei stood up and gave him a guitar, "Just play and sing a song, any song..."

Huang Bo thought for a moment and then started playing and singing Qi Wei's "My Past".

Singers like Huang Bo, who has the attributes of a literary and artistic youth, actually prefer rock songs, but there are not so many boundaries between folk songs and rock. Qi Wei's song "The Me I Used to Be" is very popular among literary young people.

"I once dreamed of traveling to the end of the world with my sword

Take a look at the prosperity of the world

The young mind is always a little frivolous

Now you are at home all over the world..."

Years of experience as a resident singer have given Huang Bo a certain foundation and relatively solid basic skills.

He can sing... at least better than Jay Chou now.

However, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and it will be better if it is further refined.

After singing the song, Qi Wei just nodded slightly without making too many expressions, leaving Huang Bo, who was anxious in his heart, confused.

After thinking for a while, Qi Wei looked at Huang Bo and couldn't help but think of his later screen image.

I couldn't help but ask: "Have you ever thought about being an actor in movies and TV series?"

Huang Bo was immediately disappointed when he heard Qi Wei's question.

When Huang Bo sang in night clubs or dance halls over the years, he saw all kinds of guests from all walks of life, and he encountered many difficult and difficult problems.

For example, someone tried to make things difficult for him by offering him a high price to sing "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", but Huang Bo couldn't sing such a high note, but he couldn't refuse the request, so he went out of his way to find someone to sing the chorus, or simply sang a funny version.

This opportunistic approach was very popular, and gradually he developed an all-round way of dealing with things.

His comedy talent is also beginning to show.

Some people ridiculed Huang Bo and said that what he is best at is controlling the scene. Basically, if he wants everyone to laugh, no one will cry, and if he wants everyone to cry, no one will laugh. Huang Bo can only tease himself that this is his ability to talk about cross talk, not

As for my singing ability, I laugh at myself for not being very good at singing.

However, Huang Bo also left a thought, thinking about whether he could change his career to be an actor or comedian. Over the years, he has been running around for a living. In addition to singing in residence, he also worked as a dancer, taught others to dance, and also did film and television dubbing.

He was exposed to movies and TV dramas, and he also tried to "save the country through curves". He first became famous as an actor and then found a way to sing and make records. But even if he relied on connections or spent a lot of money, acting was just a side job at most.

Some people even ignored his face and mocked him nakedly: "You don't even urinate and take pictures yourself. You look like a bear and you still want to be famous as an actor? You are overestimating your capabilities."

So when Qi Wei asked Huang Bo if he had ever thought about filming a film or television drama, Huang Bo thought of this unbearable experience and thought that he was not good at singing, so he was rejected by Qi Wei in such a tactful way, and he was immediately disappointed.

And my mood dropped to rock bottom.

With a bitter look on his face, he laughed at himself: "With my looks, I can't even be a singer, so how can I still be an actor? I'm just deceiving myself and bringing humiliation to myself."

In the music wave of the 1990s, many record companies adhered to the principle of casting a wide net to catch more fish. Huang Bo was fortunate enough to be signed by a record company.

Yangcheng New Era Audio and Video Company is the record company Yang Yuying signed with. Huang Bo and Yang Yuying debuted at almost the same time.

While Yang Yuying has already become popular all over the country, Huang Bo has made no sound at all.

Why? It’s because the record company didn’t like Huang Bo because he didn’t have good looks. They gave up on signing the contract and didn’t give him any resources.

After the contract was over, I had no choice but to move to the capital.

Qi Wei shook his head and smiled nonchalantly: "Why do you feel this way? Why do you think you can't be a singer and actor?

You don’t want others to think it, just you want it to matter.

I think it’s okay, after all, I’m the boss, I own a record company and a film and television company.”

Huang Bo was stunned for a moment by what Qi Wei said. It seemed that things were turning upside down?

Before he could react quickly, he heard Qi Wei say with a smile: "I think you are pretty good, you have a certain potential, and you may be able to do something good, so I plan to sign a contract with you. You can interview me."

I am very satisfied with his performance and singing skills.”

The feeling of going from the bottom to the top in an instant made Huang Bo overjoyed. He excitedly held Qi Wei's hand and said: "I am willing to sign a contract with your company."

Qi Wei was very satisfied with Huang Bo's attitude, and even more satisfied with him himself.

Compared with Huang Bo's singing talent, Qi Wei is more optimistic about his acting talent.

After talking to him, Qi Wei could roughly see his character.

Now Huang Bo's comedy talent and acting talent have been activated. Compared with later generations, what he lacks is experience.

I have been trained by dealing with all kinds of people all year round. This is why life is the best teacher.

There is a reason why he performed so well when he starred in a movie for the first time.

But what made Qi Wei complain was that Huang Bo later applied for Nortel.

It's right to choose a professional art college. After all, the school's network resources can provide a lot of help for your future acting career.

Qi Wei now feels the same way and has the most say.

After all, the rapid development of Qiwei Film and Television Company is due to a lot of help from Nortel.

But just take the exam. If you take the Nortel exam, you are overestimating your ability.

I didn’t know that Nortel’s performance department places the most emphasis on good looks when selecting students, and those who look crooked and cracked will definitely not get into the exam.

No wonder you took the exam several times before finally being accepted by the Nortel Dubbing Department.

He looks average, so he should pass the drama test if he wants to.

At this time, the Chinese Opera was recruiting acting students, and they were selected according to a graduation drama. There were Hua Dan and Chou Dan.

In every session, there are several who don’t look outstanding.

Of course, Qi Wei himself is from Nortel, so he can take the Nortel exam.

After recruiting Huang Bo, if Huang Bo still wants to take the exam in the future, Qi Wei will suggest that he take the Nortel exam and provide appropriate help.

It is definitely impossible to find a backdoor to get admission into school illegally.

After chatting for a few more words, the relationship became much more harmonious. Qi Wei said: "My company will sign a contract with you, but in addition to the singer contract, I also want to sign a film and television contract with you."

"Yes, I can sign the contract now." Huang Bo was more impatient than Qi Wei imagined.

He has actually been working hard in the film and television industry for many years, and with his crystal-clear mind, he has already understood a truth.

If you don't sign a contract with a film and television company, you don't want to be ripped off by the film and television company, and the film and television company will not sincerely devote resources to support you.

This is reality.

The same is true for Qi Wei. His company's more and better resources tend to be directed towards his own contracted artists.

It definitely makes sense for Huang Bo to be successful in later generations.

So when Qi Wei saw him at the door of his record company, he had the idea of ​​signing a film and television contract with him.

Huang Bo wondered if he was just lucky enough to encounter such a good thing. He only wanted to be a singer but he could still become an actor. It was a buy one get one free deal.

Even if Qi Wei doesn't sign a singing contract with him, he is willing to sign a film and television contract with Qi Wei.

After hesitating for several years, what he needed was a chance, a chance to prove that he could make himself famous.

Qi Wei was so kind again, but Huang Bo was disrespectful and decided to sign the contract on the spot.

The signing went very smoothly. Now Huang Bo still wants to be a singer, and he values ​​being a singer even more. After careful consideration and accepting Qi Wei's two-year contract as a singer, he almost didn't even think about it, and signed up with Qi Wei's film and television company.

Contracted for ten years.

"Wish us happy cooperation in the future!"

Everyone laughed and felt that they had made a profit. Singers like Huang Bo who have no creative ability are more dependent on the resources of the record company, so they have no confidence to bargain with the record company.

In fact, Huang Bo also wrote lyrics and composed some minor tunes, but no one can appreciate the songs he wrote.

There was a song written by Huang Bo on the resume he submitted to the company. Qi Wei had just seen it. In terms of quality, it can only be said that it was as good as Qi Wei himself.

However, the singer contract that Qi Wei gave him was much better than the rookie exploitation contracts offered by other record companies.

In addition to a higher basic salary that can guarantee his livelihood and relieve his worries, the singer's recording share and commercial performances and other other shares are also higher than those of other record companies.

And they all increase with age.

Helping Huang Bo produce and release at least two albums in seven years also gave him a guarantee. This was the reason why Huang Bo finally chose to sign the contract.

Of course, Qi Wei is also prepared to praise him as a singer.

In fact, many songs are not suitable for Qi Wei to sing now. These songs that are not suitable for Qi Wei can be left to him to sing.

For example, some bitter love songs with dog-licking attributes. With Qi Wei’s prosperous appearance like a reader, can the audience empathize with these songs?

I can’t relate to a handsome guy singing this kind of song!

Only when ordinary-looking singers sing this kind of songs can they be more powerful and gain more sympathy from people.

Hmm. So leaving it to Huang Bo to sing is a very good choice.

There are also some Internet songs with a rustic flavor. Qi Wei, who is now planning to create a personal fashion brand, is obviously not suitable for singing by himself.

Regardless of whether it is Yangchun Baixue or Lower Riba people, they all have a large audience.

And there may be more people who like Lower Riba people.

Qi Wei remembers many such Internet songs that became popular in later generations.

Don't waste it. Since you are not suitable to sing these songs now, you can let Huang Bo sing them.

It's not difficult to make him popular, it's an advantage for him.
