Chapter 12



As soon as the eight-to-six competition was over, Shen Huai had already received olive branches from several entertainment companies. If "The Song of Immortality" only made them a little moved, then the strength shown by Ye Cang in "Summer Insects" was enough to make them turn their hearts into actions.

Such a newcomer who is good-looking, talented and has traffic is a rare species in today's entertainment industry. It is simply a growing cash cow. No matter how much it costs, we must take him down.

Ye Cang's original agent regretted it a lot. He thought he was a hopeless person at the time, but who knew that he would be reborn now. He mistook pearls for fish eyes and became a big joke in the industry. More importantly, the vice president of the new company who was originally optimistic about him also changed his attitude towards him because of this incident, and the promised promotion was also a failure.

He shamelessly called Ye Cang, but Ye Cang didn't remember him at all, and hung up the phone with a "wrong number".

Of course, Morning Star Company had the biggest reaction to this incident.

Ming Wei reacted quickly and contacted Shen Huai immediately. At first, Ye Cang only signed a trainee contract with the company, and the company didn't pay much, but at the same time, if Ye Cang wanted to break the contract, he wouldn't have to pay too much.

With the ability he has shown now, many companies are willing to pay this little price for this rough gem.

Shen Huai told Ye Cang about this, and Ye Cang said that he would leave it to him to handle. Ming Wei

directly took out the A-level artist contract, which was very sincere. After all, Bai Weijia only signed the A-level contract after winning the "Best Newcomer" award.

However, Shen Huai was not surprised at all, but stated his requirements in a clear and logical manner. He had been a broker for three years and was very familiar with the little traps in the contract.

Ming Wei was unable to get any benefit from him, but Shen Huai was very particular about the degree, and every time he just stuck to her bottom line.

Ming Wei had never felt so aggrieved, and could not help but taunt: "You have done so much for him, aren't you afraid of raising a second Bai Weijia?"

Shen Huai said nothing.

However, Ming Wei felt more and more frustrated and changed the subject directly: "If there is no problem with the contract, give it to Ye Cang to sign. He is really lucky to have met a selfless agent like you."

Shen Huai ignored her ridicule and said slowly: "One more thing, I want to independently publish the copyright of Ye Cang's songs."

Ming Wei almost laughed out of anger: "You really don't want to let go of any bargain."

Every singer will have this request, but in reality, most of the songs written are worthless pop songs. It is a very calculated thing for the company to exchange such an insignificant request for greater benefits.

Even if Ye Cang has adapted "Summer Insects", the stereotype left over for many years cannot be easily changed.

Ming Wei was really a little afraid of Shen Huai. This subordinate looked gentle and gentleman on weekdays, but he was like a vulture during negotiations. If she showed the slightest flaw, he would pursue her relentlessly and mercilessly.

Besides, she had already paid such a huge price in the early stage, so there was no need to haggle over such a small matter.

So Shen Huai successfully got the conditions for the copyright of Ye Cang's independent song after paying a profit of one point in advertising fees. After

this negotiation, even a strong woman like Ming Wei was a little tired.

Shen Huai, however, seemed unaffected. He put away the contract and stood up, showing his usual restrained and polite smile: "Thank you, Sister Ming."

Ming Wei was about to say something, Shen Huai happened to raise his head, and there seemed to be a flash of sharpness in his eyes, but before Ming Wei could see clearly, it was blocked by the lens.

Ming Wei never said another word. She looked at Shen Huai's back as he left, and for some reason she felt a sense of regret in her heart, as if she had missed a gold mine.

-

When Shen Huai returned home, Ye Cang just walked out of the room: "You're back just in time, come and listen to the song I chose for the next show."

Shen Huai followed him into the room. During this period of time, his bedroom had been converted into a recording studio. He had also learned how to shop online some time ago, and the room was full of messy things.

Ye Cang scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He kicked away the debris on the ground, revealing a path, and then found that there was no place to sit in the room, so Shen Huai could only sit on the bed.

Shen Huai was speechless. He realized that except for his extremely high talent in music, Ye Cang was really useless in other aspects.

Ye Cang coughed lightly, threw these embarrassing things aside, turned on the computer, and played the song he made.

The song does not have a very clear main melody. It relies on various instruments and vocals to create an illusory artistic conception. Even if Shen Huai did not understand what he was singing, he was still trapped in a hazy dream.

In order to avoid the situation of "The Immortal Song", Shen Huai specially memorized all the songs written by Lu Yang. Who knows that he is still confused at this moment: "When did you write this?"

Ye Cang shook his head: "This is not my song."

"This song is called "Mulholland Drive", a song by the Birds."

The Birds is a rock band of the same generation as Lu Yang, but compared with Lu Yang's fame, this band is like most rock bands, unknown, and there is little information about them on the Internet now.

"Mulholland Drive" is their masterpiece.

Mulholland Drive is a famous road in Los Angeles. It leads to Hollywood and has appeared in many Hollywood movies. For people at that time, Hollywood represents decadence and extravagance. This is also the theme of this song.

This song is very thoughtful. Although it cannot be said to be excellent, its exploration of music is still advanced enough today.

Shen Huai's musical sense is not as sharp as Ye Cang's, but he knows very well that it is too risky to use such a song as a competition song.

However, Ye Cang was firm in his attitude and did not intend to change his decision.

He could continue to sing his famous songs. With his ability, it would be easy for him to get first place in this competition, and he could even become a superstar again. Even if he would not reach the heights of his previous life, it would be enough to live a worry-free life.

But if that's the case, what's the point of him living again?

If it were another agent, he would definitely not let him do such a thing. But after listening to his idea, Shen Huai nodded seriously: "I understand, just go ahead and do it, don't worry about anything else."

Although Ye Cang knew that Shen Huai always respected him professionally, they were partners after all. He made a decision without consulting him, which was indeed a bit willful. However, Shen Huai not only did not blame him at all, but also supported him with all his strength.

He felt as if something had pricked his heart, and he actually felt a tingling sensation. This made the teasing he originally wanted to say seem a little inappropriate. His clever tongue was ineffective, and the whole person looked a little dazed.

Shen Huai didn't think too much about it. He has always put himself in a very positive position and never professionally contradicted his artists. As long as they made a decision, he would support them.

However, he did not hear Ye Cang's reply, and looked over with some confusion: "What's wrong? Any other questions?"

Ye Cang came back to his senses and showed his usual cynical smile, but only he knew that this smile contained emotions that had never been there before.

He put his arm on Shen Huai's shoulders again, as if he didn't see his frown, and clicked on the next song.

Shen Huai was surprised: "This is..."

The sound system was playing a well-known rock song by Lu Yang, but he could still tell that it was recorded by Ye Cang. Although the recording conditions were not good, his performance was as excellent and stable as ever.

"You prepared two songs?" Shen Huai asked.

Ye Cang nodded: "This is the song I prepared for myself for the PK."

Shen Huai was even more surprised. Ye Cang was very confident in himself and didn't think he would lose at all. So since the top ten competition, he had never prepared a PK song. How could this time...

Ye Cang seemed to see his doubts and explained: "Although I think songs have their own charm, as a competition song, it needs to meet the preferences of most people. In this regard, there is no difference between now and thirty years ago."

He smiled: "I want to sing this song, but I also promised you that I would win the championship."

Shen Huai was stunned. He was used to the willfulness and entitlement of artists, but this was the first time someone was so considerate of him. A strange emotion hit his brain, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Ye Cang was a little unnatural at first, but when he saw Shen Huai looking away, even more unnatural than him, he relaxed.

He leaned his head over and said, "Agent, are you very touched?"

Shen Huai frowned and pushed his head away, "Sit still."

Ye Cang stared at Shen Huai's red ears, chuckled, loosened his arms and sat back in his seat.

Shen Huai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his face, and said: "Although the company's sound engineer is good, this song is extremely difficult and he can't do it. I will find another sound engineer and arranger for you. - I don't distrust your ability, but time is too tight. If you have an excellent arranger to help you, you will be more relaxed."

Ye Cang: "I..."

Shen Huai stretched out his hand to stop him: "In short, you must listen to me this time, and you don't need to worry about the money."

Ye Cang was not so stubborn.

Since the last incident with Fan Jing, he had actually guessed that Shen Huai was not the poor little agent he imagined. And he was not the kind of person who showed off. The arrangement of "Mulholland Drive" was extremely complicated. It was indeed a bit difficult for him to do it alone, and even if he was very familiar with the PK song, he still had to prepare it.

Besides, his agent was very strong, so he had to give him some face.

He smiled and accepted the other party's kindness "helplessly".
