Chapter 138 Opportunity, missing it is called regret
The students in the training class are basically junior leaders of cultural bureaus in various places, and there is even one who is the deputy director of a city in the Central Plains region. However, here everyone gets along with each other as classmates and no one puts on official airs.
The only person who was "called around" by the whole class was Sun Tao. It was not because Sun Tao was a white guy (without any position) but mainly because he was too young. In the words of several old classmates, Sun Tao was younger than their children. .
Sun Tao didn't take it seriously. When we went out together, he helped his old classmates carry bags, carry water, and run errands. He didn't think it was an invalid social interaction, and he never thought about asking these classmates to do things in the future, but Sun Tao did learn from being with them. a lot of.
When you leave your own life circle and the people around you have no interest entanglements with you, people in this kind of environment will relax their guard. When facing a young and quite likable guy, everyone is willing to give him a thumbs up. He should avoid taking detours.
It is also human nature to like to be a teacher.
After a few days, Sun Tao had a deeper understanding of the entertainment industry. In the past, what he saw in short videos were superficial, and only insiders knew the real unspoken rules.
Sun Tao, "I wrote a song, and an audio-visual company signed a cooperation agreement with me..."
Li Ju, "Hey, our little grandson can also write songs. No wonder you sent you to learn intellectual property protection."
Wang Hong, "Haha, Xiao Sun, don't take any cooperation agreement too seriously. There are a lot of loopholes in it, especially the intention agreement and the strategic cooperation agreement. Those seven or eight things are embarrassing even if you wipe your butt, just TM It’s a lie. Anyone who believes it is stupid. I specialize in contract disputes like this, and there are dozens of them every year.”
Zhao Gaoshan, "Hey, Xiao Sun is still writing songs. Come, come, sing for everyone..."

October 15, 2002, Tuesday, nine o'clock in the evening, Shangdao Coffee near the School of Communication.
Instead of going to the canteen for dinner, Zhang Ju from the Central Plains region organized a small dinner party. Sun Tao, who helped him carry water during the day, was also invited. After eating and drinking, they found a place to play mahjong. Sun Tao did not go with him because Xu Youwei was there again. Came here, this time I invited him to drink coffee.
Travel during the day, eat a big meal at night, drink coffee after the big meal, and others pay the bill.
……
Xu Youwei changed into a white skirt today. Sun Tao didn't notice whether it was bare legs or shredded meat. When they met at the door of the coffee shop, the light was a little dim, and he was embarrassed to stare at the lady's legs and observe carefully.
The waiter in a black silk skirt led the two of them to a seat by the window. The waiter should also be a female college student who came to work. She was young and beautiful.
Sun Tao flipped through the menu and found that Hangcheng Cafe was indeed not comparable to Wuan, whether it was the quality of the waiters or the price of the coffee!
"Cappuccino, Mr. Sun, what do you want to drink?"
"Blue Mountain!"
The Blue Mountain, priced at 88 a cup, is the most expensive item here, and Sun Tao made a very decisive choice.
Xu Youwei smiled slightly. She had been observing Sun Tao from beginning to end, and now she felt that she had grasped Sun Tao's preferences.
Before the coffee came, Xu Youwei handed Sun Tao a photo album.
Sun Tao glanced down, feeling like a wedding album, "What is this?"
"This is a signed artist of our company. I often bring it with me when talking to clients."
Sun Tao nodded, "Teacher Li Na told me that MV shooting, print advertising, event planning, and small commercial performances are all within the scope of your company's business..."
Sun Tao's eyes passed over each photo, but there was no obvious pause.
Xu Youwei was a little strange. She had glanced at the greeters who came in and the waiter Sun Tao who took the order. Why was she unmoved by the carefully decorated beautiful artists on the roster?
But she didn't know that Sun Tao had long been immune to photos and videos. He had never seen any kind of beauties such as beauty and AI. Real beauties were beauties. Sun Tao finally placed the roster on Xu Xinxin's page, "Teacher Li Na said that Director Shi Zhen is a bit busy at work and is only free on weekends..."
Xu Youwei took over the topic, "I know that his time is very irregular. If there are special circumstances, he won't be able to rest on weekends and holidays."
Xu Youwei smiled and pointed at the roster, "You are not just a variety show planner."
It turns out that she came here for his songs.
After a few words of conversation, the waiter brought the coffee.
Sun Tao took a sip, and there was no difference between the 70 yuan and 120 bags of Maxwell he used to buy on Taobao.
Xu Youwei stirred the foam in the cup and looked at Sun Tao with a smile, "How does it taste?"
Sun Tao shook his head, "In the mouths of people who don't know how to drink, Maotai and Erguotou both taste the same."
Xu Youwei, "Hahaha, you are a very kind person. You would rather deny yourself than say bad things about others. Where did I just say, oh, you are not only a variety show planner, we can also cooperate on songs first..."
Xu Youwei paused for a moment, "Feizhou Culture is willing to pay 50,000 yuan to reserve your next song. If the single can be on any national music chart, add 10,000 yuan, top 20 plus 20,000 yuan, and top 10 plus 50,000 yuan!"
Sun Tao is no longer an outsider who doesn’t understand the market. Although in the next few years, Pang Long, Yang Chengang, and Wang Rong will be able to earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions per song, but that is a special case after all. Under normal circumstances, singer-songwriters who have been famous for a long time Writing a good song costs hundreds of thousands.
The price quoted by Maitian Music for "Northeast Folk Song" is 50,000, and that is after the song has already taken shape and everyone can see the performance clearly, and Xu Youwei is equivalent to opening a blind box
Sun Tao admired her courage and praised her luck. After all, any song he could remember was a popular hit.
Sun Tao raised his head and said calmly: "What if we are in the top three?"
……
Around 2000, various music charts were born in China, such as the most popular music charts, the Charming Music Charts, the Chinese Pop Music Charts, and the Hong Kong and Taiwan Top 100 Popular Music Charts.
There are also various ways of sorting, some are based on record sales, some are based on radio on-demand frequency, and some are based on audience voting.
……
Xu Youwei glanced at him angrily, "I thought you were going to continue to use Wheatfield Music as a shield."
Sun Tao smiled and said nothing. Wheatfield Music was far away in Yanjing, and the agreed fifty thousand yuan had not yet landed.
After drinking the coffee, the two reached a gentleman's agreement. Sun Tao was not willing to take advantage of her and agreed to let her listen to the music first before making a decision. Sun Tao chose Xu Xinxin to record the demo because the roster showed that she graduated from the Academy of Opera.
——
The next day, Wednesday, October 16, 2002, it was 9:30 in the morning.
Sun Tao took Liu Fangfei's (Xu Youwei's assistant) Hyundai car and wandered to Gudang Road, which is Feizhou Culture's cooperative recording studio.
Xu Xinxin, who had agreed to wait for him here, did not show up.
