Sorry, I was sick today and updated late. If the status is still the same tomorrow, I will send a leave request in advance.
——
After making a verbal agreement with Li Ziqin, Li Shuo returned to the lounge with the two girls.
Yang Kangcheng was having a lively chat with Cao Jie. When he saw Li Shuo, he waved to him and said, "Brother Shuo, we are talking about "Dala Beng Bar". Lao Cao is very curious, what do you think? Who produced this song?"
As soon as these words came out, the two girls who followed Li Shuo looked curious. Li Shaohong asked blankly: "So you were talking about a song?"
Cao Jie said with a smile: "You don't pay attention to our music circle at all. Li Shuo is not only a student. At the welcome party of the School of Drama a few days ago, he also created an original song called "Dala Beng" "Bar" song, this song, Very interesting..."
Li Shaohong smiled and said: "If it can be appreciated by your old Cao, it must be a good song."
Cao Jie did not follow the words. Instead, he corrected: "This song is not well received. Price, in terms of music, I can't actually hear the rhythm of it, and the same goes for the lyrics, but when mixed together, it produces a wonderful effect, and it has gained a lot of momentum online and will probably become the annual "Divine Comedy."
Neither Jiang Mengjie nor Li Ziqin follow music trends very much, so they have never heard of Li Shuo's achievements, but when they heard what they said, they couldn't help but pick up their phones curiously. , search online.
Soon, Li Ziqin clucked his tongue and said: "It's true, "Dalabengba" is among the top three songs on all major music websites. This is a completely popular racket. Style! ”
Jiang Mengjie just sent a message to Huayin's best friend to ask, and then she saw the other party's reply: ""Dala Benba" is the best song I have felt recently. It is very popular on the Internet. Not only the rhythm, but the lyrics are also very touching. It’s a perfect combination!”
Seeing her best friend praising her, Jiang Mengjie took a sip. She pursed her lips and replied unwillingly: "Teacher Cao Jie commented that its lyrics and rhythm are relatively average."
My best friend quickly replied: "Professor Cao's evaluation is also correct, but he is not aware of popular trends." Too sensitive. Let's put it this way. Many songs become popular because they are catchy. In fact, they are not What kind of musical accomplishment? Some of them are just mouth-watering songs, but you can’t deny that they are good.”
Jiang Mengjie said silently, in fact, Cao Jie’s evaluation was quite high, but her best friend still ignored it and gave "Dala" a backhand. "Bangba" received a high rating, which can only prove that the song is indeed very good, and it has It has become a popular trend...
On the other side, Li Shuo interjected: "Teacher Cao's evaluation is very accurate. The musicality of "Dalabengba" is indeed not strong, but because of the convoluted lyrics and The music combination shows a good sense of rhythm, so it is liked by netizens..."
Cao Jie smiled at Yang Kangcheng and said: "This guy is really good. He is neither humble nor arrogant in the face of my evaluation. He can clearly analyze the advantages and disadvantages of his own songs, which is good."
Yang Kangcheng said: " Li Shuo actually has no musical background He is still a freshman in the Drama School, so...should we accept him as a student? With his talent and your guidance, he will definitely be able to make really good songs in the future!"
Cao Jie was stunned and pointed at Yang Kangcheng Then he said: "Well, you old Yang, let me ask you why you suddenly mentioned music, so you are waiting for me here?"
Yang Kangcheng chuckled: "Just tell me, are you willing?" Right? ”
The two are close The relationship was obviously excellent, so when Yang Kangcheng said this, Cao Jie said: "You shouldn't ask me about this. You should ask Brother Li Shuo, how could a genius like him be willing to worship me?" The old man’s disciple?”
"I have always liked music. It would be an honor for me to learn from Teacher Cao..."
What else can Li Shuo say? Naturally, I just go with the flow and take the initiative to request.
Next, there was naturally no problem with Cao Jie. Yang Kangcheng asked someone to prepare a simple apprenticeship ceremony. Li Shuo respectfully kowtowed in front of Cao Jie and served tea.
Li Shuo didn't know much about this master's background. He just instinctively believed that Yang Kangcheng would not cheat him. Furthermore, modern people didn't pay much attention to becoming a master, as long as it was profitable.
It was not until Cao Jie introduced himself briefly after becoming a disciple that Li Shuo discovered that the master he was studying under was not only a big figure in the music industry, but also a big figure in the art world.
In Cao Jie's self-introduction, he highlighted three names: Vice President of the Music Association, Lifetime Honorary Director of the World Art Forum, and Professor of Huayin University.
At the same time, he has learned a lot. His family has inherited calligraphy and seal cutting, and he is good at various ethnic music, such as sheng, flute, flute, xun, etc...
In short, a series of introductions When he came down, Li Shuo was confused. He had a feeling that "although he could understand every word, he just didn't know what he was doing." Anyway, he was very powerful.
Of course, these have little to do with him for the time being. According to Cao Jie's original words, he is "temporarily accepting you as a registered disciple." These days, the gap between "named disciple" and "disciple" is still quite big. , To put it bluntly, we have just met. Cao Jie may have some appreciation for Li Shuo, but because of Yang Kangcheng's face, it is impossible to tie Li Shuo to himself in one step.
At the end of the ceremony, Li Shuo treated the guests to dinner very discerningly and arranged a table at the most upscale hotel nearby. During the dinner, he showed off his interpersonal skills and once again impressed the audience. Cao Jie confirmed that he was not an ordinary student, but a mature and sociable business genius.
Therefore, when the banquet came to an end, Cao Jie took Li Shuo's hand and said softly: "In the future, you can live with me in the capital for a while, or you can directly attend my classes in Huayin, and wait until you have a good foundation in this area. , I will officially accept you as my disciple..."
"Okay, teacher"
At this point, the host and guest are enjoying themselves.
Li Shaohong and Cao Jie went to Lenghai to attend an art conference to be held tomorrow, so after eating, Li Shuo assumed the obligation of his disciples and sent the two back to the hotel to rest. The incident is finally over for the time being.
Looking back, Li Shuo and Yang Kangcheng gathered again at a teahouse outside Lengyi.
Li Shuo sat down opposite Yang Kangcheng and asked impatiently: "Old Yang, it's time to talk about it now, right? The person you value is Jiang Mengjie?"
"Don't worry, let's have a cup of tea first. "
Yang Kangcheng brought a cup of tea to Li Shuo and asked: "Do you have any arrangements for the two girls?"
Li Shuo said: "Jiang Mengjie said that he has a place to live in Lenghai. There is no need for arrangements, and she seems to have other projects here. In the short term, she does not need to rely on Guoguo Culture to operate and promote her... As for Li Ziqin, she is a junior at the school affiliated to our college and has returned to school... "
Yang Kangcheng nodded and said: "It is indeed Jiang Mengjie that I value. To be precise, it is the resources behind her. This girl..."
He approached Li Shuo and whispered what happened behind Jiang Mengjie's back.
The content is nothing more than the boss taking care of the mistress. The mistress wants to be in a position of power and conflicts with the original wife, which makes the boss angry and the family uneasy. Then the original wife divorces and the mistress is released.
After listening to this, Li Shuo raised his eyebrows and asked: "What do you mean by this, doesn't she have no feelings for anyone? How can we still be the receivers?" Yang Kangcheng squinted and smiled: "We have achieved great results Culture is not a big company. Has it launched any big projects since its establishment? With the character of 'Lin Daiyu', if she lands in our company, even if she does nothing in the future, it will be innate. It’s also a golden sign!”
“Besides, your way of thinking about things is still immature. Even if there is no relationship between the two, whoever wants to be assigned to the mistress must choose one. In a stable place, it is best to ensure that she will never speak out again for the rest of her life. It is a big favor for Shuoguo Culture to take over this job.”
Li Shuo suddenly realized: Yes, if you think about it from the perspective of a big boss, who can guarantee whether something will happen to the woman who is close to him in the future? So it is natural to handle it with caution.
At this time, Yang Kangcheng asked: "It's you, what's going on with Li Ziqin?"
Li Shuo said casually: "I met her by chance and thought she was pretty good-looking. There may be development in the future, so I signed it.”
“Tsk, really. So simple? Then what level of contract are you going to give them?”
“Jiang Mengjie can only sign S. After all, where is the position? We spend money to buy the name, but I don’t think so. If I like this woman, I may not need her in the future.”
Yang Kangcheng interrupted and said: "Don't worry about this. She is very popular in the traditional TV and movie fields. She will make some guest appearances in the future, which will be enough to earn back her fame."
Li Shuo smiled, Jiang Mengjie did not continue talking: "As for Li Ziqin, let's give it to A for the time being. In addition, throw it into Leng Yi first." Exercise for a while..."
Yang Kangcheng raised his eyebrows and said: "It sounds like you really value her, but there is one thing you have to pay attention to."
"What? ”
“Shuoguo Culture’s finances are almost unsustainable...”
Li Shuo's eyes widened: "What the hell? Are you saying that Shuoguo Culture has no money?"
Yang Kangcheng spread his hands and said: "First he invested in "The King's Feast", and recently he established "The Invisible Guardian" Project, the latter alone cost millions in one go. ..."
Li Shuo said disapprovingly: "That doesn't mean you have no money?"
Yang Kangcheng smiled bitterly: "My big boss, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Today, in the entire fruit culture, there is only one Miss to receive business Commercial advertising, what about others? "
"For example, Bailu, she has increased her fame through "Dalabengba" and gained a lot of operating resources, but the company never arranged commercial advertising for her. It's almost the same. All the signed artists can't make ends meet, even Pure subsidies, now coupled with Jiang Mengjie and Li Ziqin, the salary of these artists alone is hundreds of thousands a month, and the money spent on their operations, Lin Lin finally adds up to hundreds of thousands every month. Ten thousand expenditures..."
"You said, there is no income, only expenses, no big company can sustain it!"
Li Shuo suddenly realized: A brokerage company that trains newcomers must not be like this. After all, the newcomers are not famous. Just now When it becomes famous, the company is not willing to engage in large-scale business and advertising to consume fans' opinions. To put it bluntly, the long-term operation strategy is destined to lose money severely in the first few years!
Yang Kangcheng is very good at making connections and doing art, but he is a real shareholder of Shuoguo Culture. Seeing that the company continues to lose money, and it is because Li Shuo continues to accept beautiful artists, can he not be anxious? ?
After thinking carefully for a while, Li Shuo replied: "Since the expenses are high, let the artists get involved. "Invisible Guardian" is still in production, and the artists involved in this cannot be moved. Feng Linlin and Miss, Anjia and others can all accept commercial advertising. In addition, they also have photography lists from Xiutu.com. Later, I will ask someone to coordinate and ask Xiuren.com to increase the unit price of photography, and strive to balance the expenses for them first."
Yang Kangcheng's face turned slightly, and he said: "Open source is necessary. , but we need to reduce expenditures, otherwise, slightly reduce the expenses of some artists?”
Absolutely not!
The words went around in Li Shuo's mouth before swallowing them back: Yang Kangcheng is a shareholder, and his proposal needs to be taken seriously. Furthermore, the current situation of Shuoguo Culture is indeed Li Shuo's. It's not appropriate for him to object to using the company's money to support his own woman.
In the final analysis, it is caused by the development model of Shuoguo System. Li Shuo skillfully used financing and other means to rapidly expand the development of Shuoguo System. Naturally, he is also restricted by shareholders.
"This matter is left to you, but you need to pay attention..."
Li Shuo said a lot of words about "long-term thinking" and "looking into the future", Yang Kang Cheng Yi nodded, seeming to have listened, and then smiled and said:
"In addition, the top priority of Shuoguo Culture is to establish its own profit channels. "Invisible Guardian" can only win, not lose!"
Li Shuo said: "I have confidence in it!"
Yang Kangcheng said: "Simple confidence is not enough, we have to ensure that we can win! I heard that you did well in the National Drama Competition?"
Li Shuo simply reported his results Narrated it again.
Yang Kangcheng nodded and said: "In this case, it is enough to operate..."
Li Shuo frowned: "Operation?"
Yang Kangcheng glanced at him and explained: "If you don't operate, your results will be able to win a championship, but to be honest, drama competitions like Ordinary people actually don’t pay much attention to the champion of the championship, unless there is more exciting news, such as various rewards. Only through consistency and the like can it cause a sensation, and even be worthy of being reported by authoritative media..."
Li Shuo understood: With his achievements, it is not a problem to win an award, but a big score Guanze is something that breaks the rules. Generally speaking, it is impossible, unless you use your hands and do a big operation!
"Well, let's see when the time comes. The finals of the drama competition will be held in the capital, and most of the judges are from the capital. If the operation is difficult, the gain will outweigh the losses..."
Li Shuo I'm not very willing to engage in these off-market tricks. Once such things are exposed, wouldn't it add black history to my future self?
Yang Kangcheng patted his chest with great confidence and said, "Don't worry, leave this matter to me. Besides, you have just been accepted by Lao Cao as a registered disciple, so he should give you a meeting gift."
Li Shuo had no choice but to accept it for the time being, deciding in his heart to wait until he got to the capital and act according to the situation.
What he didn't expect was that that night, Yang Kangcheng carried out a wave of operations. Early the next morning, Yang Kangcheng called Li Shuo and said, "Brother Shuo, are you going to go?" The art conference is over at noon, and Lao Cao and the others are going back to the capital. How about going with your teacher and the others?" (End of Chapter)
