Chapter 11 Commission
While Gu Qingge was thinking about how to cultivate the jade, she naturally did not forget to improve her two basic attributes, namely physical strength and charm.
Her initial stamina was 28 and her charisma was 58. Now her stamina has increased to 28.7 and her charisma has increased to 59.6.
The increase in physical strength was of course because Gu Qingge meticulously completed the daily exercise tasks issued by the system every day, such as running a certain number of kilometers, accurately completing certain yoga-like exercises, etc.
After completing this daily training task, even if her physical strength value only increased by 0.1, Gu Qingge would be happy to do it even if she was very tired. She liked this visible progress.
In addition to completing similar daily tasks, the charm value increased more than the physical strength value because Gu Qingge made a name for himself in the art exam and became famous.
In fact, Gu Qingge is not very worried about the improvement of her charm value. As she produces more and more works and becomes more famous in the future, her charm value will of course be very high.
After Gu Qingge got rid of the scouts, Zhang Gaoyi, who had been observing calmly and secretly on the side, finally took action.
Zhang Gaoyi could see that Gu Qingge was much more rational and mature than her peers, and he could not really deceive her by treating her as an ignorant high school girl.
Otherwise, the result would be like Xu Hongbin of Qingtian Entertainment, being ruthlessly rejected.
"Hello, Ms. Gu Qingge, I'm Zhang Gaoyi, a talent scout from Spark Entertainment. This is my business card..."
Wait, don’t refuse so quickly. We at Xinghuo Entertainment focus on the music field. We are not only interested in you as a person, but also your original talent.
"It's okay if you don't want to sign an agency contract right now. I won't force you. Our company can work with you on music alone," Zhang Gaoyi said sincerely.
A veteran scout like him has much more sophisticated tricks than some young talent, and is especially good at prescribing the right medicine. After discovering that Gu Qingge was very resistant to signing a long-term agency contract, he decisively changed his mind.
However, although Zhang Gaoyi's tricks were very complicated, he did not lie to Gu Qingge.
Therefore, Gu Qingge accepted his business card, and a hint of interest finally appeared on his face: "Oh? Musical cooperation, what exactly do you mean?"
When Zhang Gaoyi saw Gu Qingge's reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief. This was a good start, and a good start is half the success.
“To put it simply, you can write songs for the singers under our Spark Entertainment.
In addition to paying for the copyright to use the song, we will also publish it on the world's largest digital music platform "Yinyue.com" and spend resources to promote it.
Every time a user pays to download your song, you will receive a 10% royalty share. This is our sincerity at Xinghuo.
"Because new composers generally only get 5% of the commission. You can ask around in the industry about this figure. I'm absolutely not lying to you," Zhang Gaoyi explained in detail.
"If I have a suitable song in the future, I will consider your company first." Gu Qingge nodded after confirming that the other party was telling the truth.
“In addition to this form of cooperation, you can also give us your own songs for distribution and we will sign them.
You already have a song called "Little Love Song". You can go to our company's recording studio and record a more perfect version.
Then it can be published on 'Yinyue.com', and the specific promotion and profit sharing can be negotiated.
"We at Spark Entertainment have a strong reputation in the music industry, and we won't engage in one-off deals that could lead to scams. We hope to establish long-term cooperation with you," Zhang Gaoyi continued.
He thought that Gu Qingge was more likely to accept his proposal. Who doesn't want their original songs to be heard by more listeners?
"What you said is true, but I'm sorry, my singing ability is not good enough to record in a recording studio. I'll wait until I become stronger." Gu Qingge said frankly.
There's no way around it, her green mastery-level vocal skill is just a trial card that lasts for one day.
Moreover, Gu Qingge also has a tendency towards perfectionism. She thinks that without a blue expert-level vocal skill, she shouldn't waste the good songs drawn from the system. It would be better to let them be sung by suitable singers in this world first.
Gu Qingge's response left Zhang Gaoyi speechless for a moment, and Hao Jie, who had been following Zhang Gaoyi like a little follower, suffered a critical blow - your vocal ability, Gu Qingge, is so strong, and you still think that your ability is not enough?
Does this mean that one must reach the level of a top-notch singer before releasing a song?
With your level, you can be invited to participate in the top music variety show "Road to the King of Singers"!
Zhang Gaoyi took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "Alright! I admire musicians like you, Ms. Gu, who set very high standards for themselves. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
Next, Zhang Gaoyi shamelessly introduced Hao Jie to Gu Qingge, and praised his vocal ability, saying that he had a "promising future" and that if he had any good songs, he could be considered.
At the suggestion of his agent, Hao Jie has decided to debut through a music talent show. As long as the popularity is high, he will decide to release a single. However, he is not very satisfied with the works written for him by the company's composers.
Come to think of it, for a singer like Hao Jie who has not yet debuted, even if he is very talented, it will not be his turn to have a good song.
Of course, as he becomes more and more famous, he will have more choices. Many musicians who write songs are so realistic.
After Hao Jie was instructed by Zhang Gaoyi, he kept a very low profile in front of Gu Qingge, even though she might become his junior in the future.
"Student Gu Qingge, I really admire your vocal ability and original talent. So this time, I really beg you. As long as the song is good, I can even refuse the singer share from Yinyue.com. Although it is only 5%, there is nothing I can do. I am not a super genius like you who can make the company give in." Hao Jie said with a wry smile.
"Very good, you are very sincere, but I don't have it yet..." Gu Qingge was about to decline, but received a new task prompt from the system -
"Ding Dong, the commission has been released."
Gu Qingge couldn't help but feel happy. She had seen the system's main tasks, side challenge tasks, and daily tasks, but had never seen commissioned tasks. So the question was, what was its release mechanism?
The system gave an explanation instantly. Its appearance required the client to remain humble and plead from the heart, but Gu Qingge could choose whether to accept it or not.
The client this time is obviously Hao Jie.
Task name: Produce a song for Hao Jie as a music producer.
Mission Reward: Randomly obtain one of Hao Jie's skills, 300 cultivation jades, and physical strength +1.
After seeing the mission rewards, Gu Qingge couldn't help but be shocked. It was fine to get the cultivation jade and the ability value improvement, but the key point was that the commissioned task could actually gain the client's skills!
Doesn't it mean that the more powerful the client is, the richer the reward will be for completing the commissioned task?
No matter what, she accepted Hao Jie's commission!
"...I just don't have any inspiration yet, but don't worry. When you get back, you can send me some demos of the songs you've recorded. I'll listen to them first and get a feel for them."
After accepting the task, Gu Qingge changed his face like Sichuan Opera.
Hao Jie and Zhang Gaoyi, who had no idea what was going on, were both confused. They could hardly keep up with Gu Qingge's train of thought.
However, Hao Jie still expressed his gratitude to Gu Qingge sincerely, and Zhang Gaoyi was very much looking forward to what kind of work Gu Qingge could produce.
…
Time passed quickly, and the third test of Huayi Art Examination was over. Gu Qingge's performance in this test was not so outstanding, because it was an impromptu skit, and she had no skill card in this aspect.
However, the examiner obviously did not care about this small flaw. Gu Qingge's amazing performance in the previous two rounds was more than enough.
In fact, the moment Gu Qingge finished her art exam, she received a system notification sound—
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the player. The current main quest and side challenge quest have been completed. Please pay attention to collect the rewards."
In fact, the art exam results have not come out yet, but that does not prevent the system from directly judging that she has completed the task.
Gu Qingge did not apply to other art universities, but instead boarded the high-speed train from Pingjing City back to his hometown.
The video of Gu Qingge's art exam finally made its way online...
