Chapter 288 Want to sign me? What benefit does it give?
“This host was gasping for air on purpose, which scared me!” Zhang Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, applause and cheers rang out from the audience at the same time, and the shouts of the audience instantly overwhelmed the entire studio.
Only on the thirteen expert jury, there were a few guys with very unnatural expressions.
In the vote just now, these expert judges voted for Wang Bo, and now it seems that their behavior at that time was simply a joke.
You don't vote for a player who is obviously strong enough, but you vote for a weak one. Do you really understand music?
If Wang Bo only loses a few thousand votes, or even loses more than 10,000 votes, the expert jury that voted for him can still wash his hands. But you lost 100,000 votes all of a sudden, how can you clean up this!
Wang Bo's votes are almost a fraction of Zhang Wei's. These are completely two levels of players.
Such an obvious gap is simply a crushing victory, even a primary school student can understand it.
However, those expert judges voted for Wang Bo abruptly. Even being laughed at after the game was considered a minor matter. They would definitely be questioned about shady activities. Once this kind of thing is exposed, it is equivalent to yellow mud. Wiping the crotch is either one thing or another. I can't explain it at all.
The program team invited you to be a professional judge because they valued your professionalism, but you formed a team to engage in shady activities. How could the program team dare to invite you again in the future? If there is a similar talent show in the future, people like you will definitely be excluded.
Reputation is something that is hard to get back once it is lost.
It’s not that you can’t do things like shady activities, but you can’t do them in such an obvious way.
How can any talent show be 100% fair and impartial? Is there any shady story? In some shows, you can even stand on the stage if you have enough money. The more money you give, the longer you can stand.
You also need to pay attention to methods when engaging in shady activities. At the very least, you must use some means of concealment so that the audience cannot see it directly.
Even if some viewers are suspicious, they can only stay at the stage of suspicion without any evidence, and the organizer can just find an excuse to wash it out. This is the correct way to engage in shady activities.
If you don’t even want to cover it up, this show will most likely be bad. The audience does not come to watch the show to watch the contestants get ranked in the predetermined order.
It is also for this reason that the story of "that summer, he used his talent to defeat capital" was born. It is not ruled out that this story itself is a kind of marketing, but the strength of his players is indeed enough to break any shady story. .
As for a divine song of the level of "Onion", in this kind of amateur talent show, as long as there is no shady story, how could it possibly lose!
In the audition stage, the draft of "Fast Boys" is relatively fair, and those who can advance are indeed very capable players. Moreover, the SMS voting method also avoids the influence of the judges to the greatest extent. It is simply whoever the audience likes more will advance.
The nearly 150,000 votes also broke the record for the program. In the previous regional finals, when it came to the championship and runner-up, the contestants usually only received 50,000 to 70,000 votes. Zhang Wei was able to get nearly 150,000 votes. Thousands of votes, all thanks to the help of a few divine songs.
For this kind of amateur talent show, original songs are indeed a bonus, and if the quality of the original song is good, it can attract a large number of fans overnight.
In the 2007 Fast Boy Talent Show, Chen Chusheng sang more than one original song, and he finally won the championship. The song "Did Someone Tell You" must have made great contributions.
What is even more impressive is Mao Buyi, who is said to have defeated capital with his talent. He toasted twelve glasses of wine with his song "Xiaochou" and directly became a god.
Most of the ordinary viewers in front of the TV do not have high musical literacy. Many of them are at the level of shouting at the KTV. For these ordinary viewers, amateur contestants can bring out a good song. The original song is the most awesome thing.
In addition to original songs, another idea to win the favor of the audience in the amateur talent show is to sing high notes. No matter how good the song is, as long as you raise your voice to the level of Vitas, you will be the most handsome guy in the audience.
For the same reason, the average audience has little musical literacy. Many people simply think that the higher the high note is, the better the singing skills will be. It doesn't matter whether you sing the bass accurately or the alto with energy. Professional musicians can understand it, but the audience doesn't understand it at all.
So in the future "The Voice of China", a group of contestants are shouting at the top of their lungs, E5 and F5. The higher the shout, the better the audience will be, and the more popular the contestants will be.
......
As the regional champion, Zhang Wei can directly advance to the national finals. There is still half a month left before the national finals, and Zhang Wei has enough time to prepare more than a dozen songs.
As the game ended, the organizer's staff also came over.
"Zhang Wei, this is Director Hu Lihu of the Xiaoxiang Entertainment Music Department!" the staff member said, pointing to a woman in her early thirties.
"Fox?" Zhang Wei felt that the name had some homophones, and then he began to look at the person in front of him.
This lady can only be described as ordinary in appearance, but her clothes are very fashionable and she has heavy makeup on her face.
Women, as long as they are willing to take the time to put on makeup and dress themselves up carefully, they are quite beautiful.
Director Hu climbed up to the sky and came to Zhang Wei with a condescending expression. It's a pity that he is only a little over 1.5 meters tall, and with a height of more than ten centimeters, he is half a head shorter than Zhang Wei.
This condescending aura instantly cooled down.
However, Director Hu still raised his head proudly and said with a domineering expression: "Zhang Wei, you haven't signed with a record company yet, right? But even if you sign, it doesn't matter, just breach the contract. Sign in to our Xiaoxiang Entertainment."
A staff member nearby explained: "Xiaoxiang Entertainment is a subsidiary of Xiaoxiang TV. Its main business is artist management, music production and film and television drama production. This time "Xiaoxiang Entertainment" The audition of "Come Soon Boys" is created and operated by Xiaoxiang Entertainment.
Director Hu is responsible for the music production business. If she is willing to sign you, you are in luck. You are getting closer. He said, I will definitely release an album for you. Going further, if you perform well, I will definitely support you to become a popular singer in the future.”
Director Hu continued to say arrogantly: "Although you are a newcomer in this circle, you still have some potential. I think you still have some potential for cultivation, so I will give you this opportunity."
Director Hu This arrogant attitude made Zhang Wei feel a little unhappy. He pondered for two seconds and asked: "Director Hu, you just said that if I have signed a contract with a record company and you let me break the contract, I don't know what the liquidated damages are. Who paid for it? "
"Of course you paid for it yourself, but if you don't have the money, we can give it to you first and then deduct it from your record sales," Hu Li said.
"Let me break the contract without paying liquidated damages?" Zhang Wei smiled slightly, showing a sarcastic expression.
“As a newcomer, how much liquidated damages can you have? When you become famous and make a lot of money in the future, this little money won’t be just drizzle!”
Hu Li continued: "We at Xiaoxiang Entertainment have resources and connections in the entertainment industry, and we are backed by Xiaoxiang TV. We can bring out a lot of stars at any time and sign contracts with Xiaoxiang Entertainment. For a newcomer like you, but This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that no one else can ask for!"
"Then I have to thank you for your kindness!" Zhang Wei also got angry. He mocked first and then shook his head: " I won't sign!" "Zhang Wei, you have to think clearly, we are Xiaoxiang Entertainment!" Hu Li continued with an arrogant expression, "I know you have some talent, and I have attracted it. Some attention, but in the entertainment industry, talent alone is not enough.
Talented people also need a strong team and platform to support them, so that your career can go smoothly. , only then can we have the opportunity to reach a higher level
Over the years, I have seen many talented artists, but because they signed with small companies without strength, they failed to get ahead for many years, and even ended up failing. Lost in the crowd
In the entertainment industry, there are too many short-lived singers. If you don’t want to be a short-lived singer, signing with our Xiaoxiang Entertainment now is your best choice. "
"In the entertainment industry, you are not the only company with resources and connections. I can write good songs, but am I still afraid that I can't find a good company? "
Zhang Wei smiled disdainfully, as if he was mocking Hu Li, have you figured out whether it is a buyer's market or a seller's market now? Who has the initiative?
"This young man is not easy to fool! "Hu Li secretly thought.
Originally, she planned to use Cheng Yaojin's three-step ax to sign Zhang Wei at lightning speed. Henceforth, she became condescending when appearing on the stage, and when talking,
Hu Li felt that a pure amateur like Zhang Wei, who had no record of participating in competitions before, must not understand anything, so a few scare words would be enough.
If it were a veteran who had participated in many singing competitions, Hu Li would definitely not use this trick, but would talk calmly.
But I didn’t expect that Zhang Wei had seen a lot of big things in the world, and these three axes couldn’t scare Zhang Wei at all.
The next second, Hu Li's domineering temperament dissipated a lot in an instant, and a faint smile appeared on her face, and her tone became much kinder:
"I guess it's like For a newcomer like you, the liquidated damages will definitely not be much higher. Let me discuss with the company and open a back door for you. We will pay the liquidated damages for you. In this case, you should have no worries when you sign with Xiaoxiang Entertainment. Right? ”
"No worries, I didn't sign with a record company originally." Zhang Wei replied with a smile.
"Then why are you asking about liquidated damages?"
"I am a newcomer and I am curious about the entertainment industry!" Zhang Wei was still smiling.
At this time Hu Li also realized that she had been teased by Zhang Wei, but in order to sign this potential newcomer, he still said patiently: "Since you have not signed a contract with a record company, then hurry up and After signing this contract, you will become an artist under our Xiaoxiang Entertainment. We will provide you with a professional team, high-quality resources, extensive promotion channels, and personalized career planning.”
Hu! Li said, took out a contract from her bag and handed it to Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei did not answer, but asked: "What benefits can I get from signing with Xiaoxiang Entertainment?"
"The benefits, haven't I told you, professional team, high-quality resources, extensive Promotion channels, personalized career planning, in short, we will make you a big star!" Hu Li replied.
“Aren’t these things that entertainment companies should do? You should provide these to your artists, so this falls within the scope of your work. You do this work without asking for anything in return, your employees It’s not that I don’t get paid, you can’t regard your normal work as my benefit!”
Zhang Wei smiled slightly and continued: “I’m asking about what benefits I can get, not you! What kind of work can I do?"
With one sentence, Hu Li was speechless for a moment, and it even broke her cognition.
In Hu Li's view, when the company provides resources to artists, doesn't it mean that it benefits the artists?
But according to Zhang Wei's logic, the company does this in pursuit of returns, and employees receive salaries for their work. In theory, it seems that no one owes anyone anything.
At this moment, Hu Li was unable to refute.
"This Zhang Wei is really difficult to deal with." Hu Li thought to herself, so she asked directly: "What benefits do you want?"
"The artists signed by your company, No signing fee?" Zhang Wei asked.
"You still want the signing fee?"
"You can also give the company shares!" Zhang Wei said shamelessly.
"You want shares? Who do you think you are! Liu Huan? Han Hong?" Hu Li snorted coldly, and then said: "Even Liu Huan and Han Hong may not dare to ask for shares, let alone you It’s just a newcomer!”
“The newcomer doesn’t have any shares, so I won’t choose it!”
“We don’t have a signature fee either!” shook his head.
"There's no signing fee!" Zhang Wei pretended to be disappointed.
"Although there is no signing fee, we will release a record album for you. If the album sells well, the share you will get will not be less." Hu Li said.
“Other record companies can also produce records for me!”
“Other companies don’t have as many resources as we do! For example, if you are an artist under our Xiaoxiang Entertainment, you have to When you release a record, we can arrange the ratings of your last episode of "Happy Camp" and "Happy Camp". You should know that with such publicity, your record will definitely sell well." Hu Li. introduced.
"This is a benefit, but it takes a while to release an album, right? Are there any immediate benefits?" Zhang Wei then asked.
"I said, there is no signing fee."
"I'm not asking for money, I just want to ask, if I sign with Xiaoxiang Entertainment, can I be guaranteed to win the national finals?" Zhang Wei asked directly.
Hearing this request, Hu Li's expression suddenly changed. Zhang Wei's request was not only beyond her expectation, but also beyond her ability.
Even if there is a shady secret in the national finals, is it her decision to win the national championship of "Fast Boys"?
Taking a slight breath, Hu Li said with a serious face: "Our competition is fair and just."
"Director Hu, don't be nervous. I also want to test whether there is any shady story in your game!" Zhang Wei continued with a relaxed smile;
"Since the game is fair and just, then I can’t sign now. I think when I win the championship, you will definitely give me better terms, maybe there will be a signing fee!”
