Entertaining Children

After marveling at this amazing coincidence of past and present lives, at the end of the phone call with Yan Ke, Xiao Yao, who was quite embarrassed, proposed to find a weekend for the four of them to get together, but Yan Ke refused. Except for Xiao Yao who is in Yanjing, the capital, Yan Ke, Yu Gang, and Chen Jiwei are in different cities in three different provinces of China. They are just ordinary high school students now, and their personal and economic freedom is not high. It's impossible for Xiao Yao to fly around the country on weekends like Xiao Yao. Since it was inconvenient for Yan Ke and the other three, Xiao Yao didn't force it.

After returning to the normal school life for a period of time, Xiao Yao, who has no academic pressure, feels that life is a bit boring, so he wants to do something again.

Thinking of doing something, Xiao Yao also remembered one thing he hadn't finished yet, that is, the string version of the song "faded" hadn't been recorded yet. When he participated in the electronic music program at the beginning of the year, he had already agreed with Gong Chen to let her record the string version of this song for him. It's just that the recording of the program was not over at the time, Gong Chen couldn't get away for the time being, and Xiao Yao himself was not in a hurry, so he put it on hold for the time being.

Before the recording of the last episode of that show, "Night of Champions", the "Golden Disc" award ceremony was held, and then Sun Tingting "went out", and Xiao Yao wanted to accompany Sun Tingting before she went abroad. When Sun Tingting went abroad, Xiao Yao began to prepare for the Art Examination of the Acting Department of Shencheng Drama Academy. It has been a month or two since this communication was delayed, and all the programs Gong Chen participated in had long since ended, so it shouldn't be a problem for Xiao Yao to find her to come and record the string version on a weekend.

Since Xiao Yao had never had contact with Gong Chen's agent during the program, nor did he have her agent's phone number, Fang still did not let Fang still contact Gong Chen's agent, but dialed Gong Chen's private cell phone by himself.

Gong Chen won three single-episode championships in "Super Cool Electronic Music", and naturally became the most eye-catching singer in the last episode of the show "Night of Champions". In Xiao Yao's mind, Gong Chen's popularity should have skyrocketed through this show. At this time, the show is only a month old, and it should be very busy. The recording of the string version should be arranged according to her schedule. Unexpectedly, after Xiao Yao contacted Gong Chen, Gong Chen said that he was relatively free recently and could come over and help her record at any time.

After the electronic music program ended, Gong Chen did increase his popularity by virtue of his amazing performance. Gong Chen's manager and the record company really wanted to help Gong Chen further in his singing career while the iron was hot, but they had no choice but to end the program. Afterwards, the record company still didn't have any excellent song works suitable for Gong Chen. The two songs that Xiao Yao sang to Gong Chen in the show were all for participating in the show, and the copyright of the songs is still in his own hands. After the show is over, let alone release an official single for her, if you want to arrange for Gong Chen to sing these two songs in other commercial performances, you must first buy the copyright from Xiao Yao or get Xiao Yao's Only authorized.

It's not that AMG Records, which Gong Chen belongs to, tried to contact Qi Jia Studio to buy the copyright of these two songs from Xiao Yao. But Xiao Siqi has been thinking about poaching Gong Chen from AMG company. How can it be so easy for AMG to get what he wants? Gong Chen became more and more angry,

It will be harder for him to dig in the future. After AMG contacted him, Xiao Siqi did not directly refuse, but shied away on the grounds that the copyright of the song was in Xiao Yao's personal hands and did not belong to the studio. When AMG proposed to have a personal discussion with Xiao Yao, Xiao Siqi gave two reasons why Xiao Yao did not have an exclusive agent and that he was doing his best to prepare for the drama exam. It is not suitable to disturb him now to distract him dragged down. He couldn't make a decision for Xiao Yao, so he could only delay it temporarily.

AMG felt that instead of using those mediocre quality songs to consume Gong Chen's rare image in the show, it would be better to wait for the appearance of excellent works to surprise again. Therefore, during the period after the show ended, AMG had no plans to release an album or single for Gong Chen, but arranged for her to appear on several variety shows to further consolidate her popularity. Therefore, Gong Chen was not very busy during this time.

After the art test of Shenxi, AMG originally wanted Gong Chen to contact Xiao Yao in a private capacity to find out whether he intended to sell the copyright of the two songs, but unexpectedly wanted to let Xiao Yao rest for a few days Gong Chen, who contacted him again, hadn't looked for Xiao Yao yet, but Xiao Yao called her first instead. Hearing that the recording of the string version of "faded" had already been agreed upon, Gong Chen, who had asked him for it and was really not too busy, naturally said immediately that he could be on call.

When Xiao Yao took the initiative to call and asked her to continue recording the string version of "faded", and said that she could make up for her time, Gong Chen was very happy at first, which shows that Xiao Yao really appreciates her very much. the sound of. But after thinking about it, this also shows that Xiao Yao attaches great importance to this song, and Gong Chen immediately has no confidence in persuading Xiao Yao to sell the copyright of this song.

Xiao Yao has always had the temperament to do whatever he thinks. After hearing that there was no problem with Gong Chen's schedule, he immediately made an appointment with Gong Chen to record on the weekend, and the location was naturally in the recording studio of his own studio.

To use the studio's recording studio to record, Xiao Yao naturally wanted to say hello to Xiao Siqi, so as not to have any conflicts with the studio in terms of the use of the recording studio. Xiao Yao, who is still a student, currently uses the recording studio of the studio basically on weekends. In order to take care of him, Xiao Yao has priority in using the recording studio on weekends, so Xiao Yao dared to make an appointment with Gong Chen first. Recording on the weekend, and then tell Xiao Siqi later that even if the original recording studio has already been used on the weekend, Xiao Siqi will make adjustments for him, as long as Xiao Yao informs the staff in charge of the recording studio or Xiao Siqi himself in advance. . Now that Xiao Yao is at home, he naturally found Xiao Siqi directly.

Xiao Siqi knew that Xiao Yao had a special liking for the song "faded", and he had no objection to Xiao Yao's use of the recording studio. However, since Xiao Yao mentioned that Gong Chen should be asked to record, Xiao Siqi also took advantage of the opportunity and told Xiao Yao that AMG wanted to buy the copyright of the songs sung by Gong Chen in the two electronic music programs.

Xiao Yao naturally could see that Xiao Siqi didn't really want him to sell the copyright of these two songs to AMG. In fact, Xiao Yao himself didn't want to hand over "faded" to others for distribution. But after Gong Chen came over on the weekend, this matter was bound to be brought up, and they still had to face it.

"I know you've always wanted to poach Gong Chen, but relying on the copyright of these two songs, I'm afraid you can't force a company as big as AMG to let Gong Chen leave?" No one in our studio can write songs for Gong Chen. I think the current situation is that on the one hand, AMG has really failed to find a good song suitable for Gong Chen, and on the other hand, Gong Chen is me in the show. Those two songs developed the ethereal and psychedelic features of Gong Chen’s voice, and let people see another side of Gong Chen’s voice. Both AMG and Gong Chen himself may have some superstitions for me now. But this kind of It won't last long, will it?"

"Of course I know this. Your father and I are not such a domineering person. If they don't sign our studio, they won't sell the copyright to them. Besides, you were indeed preparing for the art exam at that time. I was just procrastinating, and I didn't He clearly refused to say that he would not sell it." Xiao Siqi smiled wryly, "Neither I nor Mr. Shen have written songs and produced albums for singers of other companies, and we have not asked that our works must be released by ourselves."

"It's mainly because of Gong Chen's situation, which makes me very entangled and unwilling." Xiao Siqi continued, "If you say that Gong Chen is sure not to sign with our studio, it's fine. It’s okay to give them the copyright. I know you also really like the song "faded". At most, we will cooperate with AMG to release it. But her attitude is ambiguous now. She only says she is considering it, neither saying she is willing to change jobs, nor that she will not change jobs I'm afraid that if after the copyright of these two songs is given to AMG, she changes from wanting to change jobs to not wanting to change jobs, then we will be wronged!"

"That's right," Xiao Yao nodded, and then suggested, "If she mentions the copyright of these two songs to us at the weekend, we will ask her to make a statement. You know that the ownership of my songs must remain with me In hand. If she is not willing to change jobs, I will authorize these two songs to her. For commercial performances, we will charge per play. Let’s go, of course, we will handle it after she comes. Anyway, these two songs are the most suitable for her to sing, and the female singers in our studio can’t sing. But let her express her opinion first, and we will tell her later This result."

"That's the only way to go." Xiao Siqi nodded helplessly.

On the bright side, Xiao Yao recorded the string version of "faded" just for his own fun, and didn't mention anything about the release at all, so Gong Chen's recording here should only be a personal help, but when Gong Chen When he appeared in the recording studio of Qijia Studio on the weekend, he brought his agent and a business manager from the AMG business department who was in charge of song copyright acquisition. Looking at the situation, Xiao Yao knew that the copyright issue of the two songs must not be bypassed.

"This is Manager Tian from the commercial department of our AMG company. He wants to talk to you about some business matters, so he came with me." Embarrassed, he introduced the humanity of the Ministry of Commerce to Xiao Yao.

"I know, it's about the copyright of those two songs, right?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "My dad told me about it after the art exam. But before talking to Manager Hetian, my dad and I I want to chat with you alone first. Is that okay?" Xiao Yao wasn't sure if Gong Chen had told AMG about Qi Jia's studio wanting her to quit, so he didn't want to talk about it in front of Manager Tian from AMG's business department. matter.

"Maybe it's something like performance cooperation, I'll go and have a look together." Gong Chen's manager whispered to Manager Tian from the business department.

Manager Tian came here this time only to be in charge of the purchase of song copyrights. The singer's own commercial performances were arranged by his manager, so he nodded without any objection.

"Ms. Zheng, Gong Chen, go to my father's office and talk. He is waiting in the office." Xiao Yao said to Zheng Yuzhi and Gong Chen. Zheng Yuzhi's performance obviously knew that Qi Jia's studio wanted to poach Gong Chen.

"Yiran, arrange for someone to greet Manager Tian, ​​and then you go to my dad's office." Xiao Yao gave Yirran another order, and then took the two of them to Xiao Siqi's office. Fang is still preparing for the agent qualification exam, and Xiao Yao also wants her to participate more in these business matters now.
