After this busy period, Ye Cang Studio has taken shape.
There are not many people in the studio, only a dozen staff members, but they are all carefully selected by Shen Huai, including himself. He also hired two assistants to share some chores for him.
Unexpectedly, the studio just set up, and encountered a big event.
Ye Cang's album "Rebirth" was shortlisted for the 55th Columbus Awards. As the most authoritative award for rock music in the world, this news just caused a sensation in domestic and foreign media.
If it were in the past, I am afraid Shen Huai would be too busy, but after the studio was established, all members worked together to handle the subsequent matters in an orderly manner.
Although some shortcomings were exposed during this process, they were just minor problems.
Just when Shen Huai and Ye Cang were discussing how to improve the studio, Xue Chengge came over to resign.
Xue Chengge looked very guilty: "Brother Ye, Brother Shen, I'm sorry, I agreed to work for one year, but I'm going to break the contract."
Ye Cang and Shen Huai looked at each other and asked Xue Chengge: "You are so sudden, did something happen?"
Xue Chengge swallowed his saliva before speaking: "I... I didn't know how I would go in the future, but seeing Brother Ye's journey, I also remembered my original intention of liking music, so I want to become a real musician." As he spoke
, he felt more and more guilty: "Along the way, Brother Ye and Brother Shen have taken good care of me, especially Brother Ye, who often taught me how to write songs. It's really wrong for me to do this..."
"What did I think it was?" Ye Cang laughed, "Actually, I've had this idea for a long time. I've read the songs you wrote. You're actually a very thoughtful person with good basic skills, so I wanted to discuss with Ah Huai to change your position."
Shen Huai continued, "Chengge, do you want to become a signed artist of Morning Star?"
Xue Chengge was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he stammered, "Ye... Brother Ye, are you kidding me?"
Ye Cang said helplessly, "Why am I kidding you? I was just talking about this with Ah Huai."
When Ye Cang used your father's Weibo account to recommend unpopular good songs, he met many excellent original musicians. These musicians are very thoughtful and creative. Maybe their works still have some flaws, but they all have great potential.
Unfortunately, the music market is now impetuous and only accepts mature music. It is very demanding for experimental music. For these musicians, their living space is very small.
Some succumb to reality and write stereotyped pop songs, while others go underground and stick to their ideals in poverty.
They are like Li Jun at the time, who had no chance to stand out and was beaten to a pulp by reality.
Ye Cang had no way to save Li Jun at the time, so he could only remember the song "Dying Traveler" for him, leaving a trace for him in this world.
But after his rebirth, he often wondered if he would have the opportunity to help these people. They didn't ask for much, they just hoped that someone could hear their songs.
Ye Cang didn't have this ability before, but the good results of "Rebirth" made it possible for all this to be realized.
Although he was a little overconfident, he also wanted to slowly recreate the flourishing music era of the past with his own strength.
After listening to his plan, Shen Huai felt a little emotional.
Nowadays, the competition in the entertainment industry is fierce, and newcomers emerge in an endless stream. As a senior, it is easy to be hit on the beach by these powerful newcomers, let alone promote them. There are even a lot of suppression and frame-ups.
Like Ye Cang, promoting newcomers regardless of the cost is simply rare.
Xue Chengge's eyes lit up after hearing what Shen Huai said about the contract terms. These terms were too generous for a newcomer. Of course, these benefits were not only material, but more importantly, the creative environment was extremely relaxed.
Xue Chengge couldn't help but be moved, but still a little worried: "But this way, it means that we are taking away your resources, Brother Ye. What if in the future..."
Ye Cang didn't expect that he was actually worried about these things. He was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He knocked on his head and deliberately said, "What? Are you worried that you will surpass me?"
Xue Chengge coughed: "Well... it's not impossible..."
He was so confident that Ye Cang was not angry, but even happier: "If you can really surpass me, that's a good thing. It means that this circle is getting better and better."
"But..." Ye Cang squinted and looked up and down at Xue Chengge, "Do you think I'm a vegetarian? If you want to surpass me, you have to practice for another hundred years."
Xue Chengge: "..."
He shouldn't have been moved. This kind of arrogance that makes people want to beat him is Brother Ye's nature.
——While
Ye Cang's studio was developing in full swing, Hua Rong was in a state of panic.
Hua Rong looked at Xu Anqi who was standing in front of her and didn't care at all.
She was so angry that she could hardly maintain her kind expression. "Xu Anqi! Don't forget who brought you to your current position! Now that you have grown wings, you start to disobey me? Don't forget, I can bring you up, but I can also let you fall."
Xu Anqi just said contemptuously: "Sister Hua, do you think this is my first day in this circle? If you want to find someone to replace me, you have to see if she has the ability!"
Hua Rong narrowed her eyes and realized that she was angry with Xu Anqi for no reason. It turned out that it was because of the new person she signed recently.
Huarong's expression suddenly softened: "Angie, why are you jealous? She's just a newcomer. Can she really shake your position?"
Xu Anqi didn't give her any face at all: "She's just a newcomer. Let you use my resources to promote her. If she becomes famous in the future, will there still be a position for me in the company?"
"Angie, don't be unreasonable." Huarong said patiently, "You don't even think highly of Shi Lan's role. Use her to help the younger generation. She will be grateful to you..."
"What a joke. Do I need her gratitude?" Xu Anqi sneered, "Sister Hua, you know my temper. What's mine is mine. No one else can get their hands on it, let alone that little bitch Bai Shilan!"
Huarong tried to persuade her for a long time, but Xu Anqi was unmoved. Huarong lost her patience, and the two finally parted unhappily.
Xu Anqi stormed out of Huarong's office, ran to the rooftop, and took out a cigarette in annoyance.
Assistant Pingping carefully lit it for her, and then said, "Anqi, don't argue with Sister Hua..."
Xu Anqi was so angry that Pingping's words were like adding fuel to the fire. She said angrily.
"Which side are you on!"
Pingping pursed her lips before telling Huarong about her previous attempt to poach Chu Meibo, and then advised: "Anqi, you know, Sister Hua has a bad temper. If you really make her angry, she will do her best to support Bai Shilan, which will not be good for you." "
Ha! I was wondering! Why did she suddenly sign such a person? Turns out it's a fake?"
Huarong has been a little obsessed after failing to poach Chu Meibo, so when she finally found Bai Shilan, who had a temperament similar to Chu Meibo, she signed her immediately, wanting to copy Chu Meibo's way of becoming famous.
Seeing Pingping's face full of worry, Xu Anqi said unhappily, "What are you worried about? With the real thing in front of you, who would be willing to see a fake? Haven't you heard of it? Small fame depends on promotion, big fame depends on luck, forced promotion will bring disaster, and a useless piece of mud that can't be used on the wall, what's there to worry about!"
She said, and then reluctantly, "I've seen her filming clips, her acting skills are very good, her aura comes from her bones, and others can't learn it. You wait, Huarong's wishful thinking is not so easy to work."
Although Xu Anqi had disagreements with Shen Huai, she had to admit that when it came to vision, Huarong was really far behind Shen Huai.
Pingping seemed to feel relieved after hearing what she said, but she still advised Xu Anqi: "In this case, you should build a good relationship with Sister Hua, so that she will know who is really worth supporting." After hearing what she said
, Xu Anqi was unexpectedly calm: "Don't you understand? From the time she really decided to support Bai Shilan, our relationship could not get better."
"Silly and innocent little princess? Do you really think I can live with this personality for the rest of my life?" Xu Anqi asked back.
Pingping looked at Xu Anqi helplessly.
"I tell you, Huarong wants an obedient doll who will earn money for her obediently. If one day I lose my value, she will kick me out immediately." Xu Anqi shook her head. "I haven't made any progress in the past three years. I have spent too much energy on variety shows, endorsements and various fashion resources, and neglected the things that support my livelihood."
"When I left Shen Huai, I swore that I would be better than when I was under him. However, three years have passed, and I'm still living off the old capital that Shen Huai left for me. How ridiculous! But the old capital will be used up sooner or later, and I can't wait until that day to think about changing."
Pingping looked at Xu Anqi in shock. She had always thought that Xu Anqi was arrogant and willful, but she didn't expect that she saw her own situation so clearly.
What she didn't know was that Xu Anqi had been following Shen Huai since she debuted. Although she refused to admit it, she was still subtly influenced by Shen Huai. Because of this, even when surrounded by flowers, she could still clearly see the hidden worries underneath.
Who doesn't want to make money comfortably and be admired like a little princess? However, there is never such a simple thing in this world. Sometimes it seems to be easy money, but it is just luck. When fate demands a price, the price paid may be unbearable.
This was the first lesson Shen Huai taught Xu Anqi. Even though she could no longer remember the scene at that time, she still remembered this truth firmly in her subconscious.
Xu Anqi put out the cigarette: "Okay, let's not talk about these nonsense. I just want to ask you one question, are you going to follow me or Huarong? If you follow me, you have to listen to me in the future. If you still want to inform Huarong, you can hand in your resignation letter yourself."
Pingping was startled, and then she realized that Xu Anqi actually knew everything. She figured it out in an instant and quickly expressed her loyalty to Xu Anqi. After
Xu Anqi finished knocking on people, she felt a little cold, so she wrapped her coat and walked indoors.
As soon as she got off the elevator, she ran into Song Yimian.
When Song Yimian saw her, he immediately bowed politely: "Sister Anqi."
Xu Anqi glanced at him and asked casually: "Where are you going?"
Song Yimian replied politely: "Sister Hua asked me to go to the office. She said there is a play and asked me to audition."
Xu Anqi said "Oh" and said no more. She took Pingping out of the elevator.
Song Yimian kept blocking the elevator door with his hand. After Xu Anqi left, he entered the elevator again.
Xu Anqi happened to see this scene out of the corner of her eye and suddenly asked Pingping: "Is this kid a newcomer in the company?"
Pingping had no choice but to introduce Song Yimian's identity to her.
Xu Anqi was also a little surprised to learn that Song Yimian had not made a name for himself in Huarong for two years: "Isn't his contract about to expire? Huarong is still giving him roles? Is she doing charity, or is this kid her long-lost brother?"
Pingping: "..."
Pingping stammered: "I heard that Sister Hua has been taking him to some drinking parties recently..."
Xu Anqi frowned. She certainly knew what these drinking parties were for. When rich and powerful bosses hold parties, they always like to find some small stars in the circle to cheer. This is normal. Xu Anqi herself has also had dinner with investors.
But if, as Pingping said, Huarong was about to terminate the contract with him, but suddenly gave him the opportunity to audition, it was definitely not as simple as having a meal.
There are people in the circle who exchange their bodies for resources. They are willing, and Xu Anqi doesn't think it's a big deal. But she thinks of Song Yimian's clean and well-behaved face, and the way his eyes lighted up when he talked about the audition just now, and she feels a little uncomfortable.
She asked Pingping: "Do you have his WeChat?"
"Yes." Pingping reacted after she finished speaking, and hurriedly said, "Anqi, don't get involved in this..."
"I know my limits. - Give me the phone quickly."
Pingping couldn't persuade her, so she had to take out her phone, but she kept persuading her.
"You're so nagging!"
Xu Anqi typed a bunch of words, and then clicked send.
"Okay, I'll give you the phone back."
Pingping hurriedly opened the phone and wanted to withdraw it.
Xu Anqi held her down and said, "Is it that serious? What can a message do..."
Before she finished her words, Pingping's WeChat rang.
It was a reply from Song Yimian.
[Thank you, Sister Pingping, I will definitely be careful [clench fist][clench fist]]
When the two saw this message, they could imagine Song Yimian's serious and obedient reply.
Pingping coughed and slid her fingers on the screen a few times, but she didn't delete the message in the end.
