It wasn't a big deal for Shi Qianhui to rent a place; it was just that she suddenly had an inspiration and wanted to write it down immediately.
Taoyuan Mansion is well-equipped and quiet, unlike the music room at school where someone might suddenly push the door open and say they've come to the wrong room, interrupting their train of thought.
After returning home, Shi Qian immediately got into the swing of things. He tried it out in the music room for a while and then went straight to the recording studio. When he came out again, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
Shi Qian stretched and relaxed before realizing her stomach was empty. She picked up her phone and ordered takeout.
After ordering the food, I found someone in my friends list and sent them a message.
-I have a new song out, do you want it?
The songs he had written earlier had been packaged and sent to the person who bought them. The other party was very accommodating and immediately transferred a considerable sum of money upon receiving the songs, which was two or three times higher than the price that Shi Qian had initially negotiated with him.
He also said that these songs were not considered a buyout by him, and that the subsequent copyright fees would be paid to Shi Qian according to a percentage system. Fearing that Shi Qian might not be at ease, he even sent her an electronic contract.
Shi Qian thought the person seemed reliable, so she agreed to add him on WeChat.
The man was quick and generous with the money, and he was very satisfied.
In the conference room of the Qingcheng Entertainment Group building in downtown Beijing, three people were sitting at the moment.
Yan Ge sat on the sofa against the wall, looking impatient. "Sister Huan, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
"No! You can't leave. I'm going to get to the bottom of this today! Why should you get all the company's resources?"
"Sister Huan! Yan Ge and I were signed to the company by you at the same time! Why do you give him all the good stuff! Didn't he release a new song a couple of years ago? Why shouldn't it be my turn this time?!"
"I had no problem with the new song you tailored for him two years ago, but isn't he popular enough now? Why give him another one this time!"
Two days ago, when Song Yike heard that Yan Ge was going to release another song, he was furious. He immediately grabbed Yan Ge when he came to the company and insisted on getting justice today.
Song Yike and Yan Ge were in the same group before. After debuting, they never became popular. When their contracts expired, they both chose not to renew and were signed to their current entertainment company, which is neither big nor small.
Yan Ge is the visual center and the main vocalist of the group, while Song Yike is the rapper. Both of them are good-looking, one with a gentle style and the other with a cool style. During their time in the group, their popularity was comparable.
Song Yike disliked Yan Ge from the start, thinking he was pretentious. Although they were in the same group, their fans fought fiercely, and after the group disbanded, they became rivals.
Both of them were doing so-so, but Yan Ge suddenly released a song that made him far surpass Song Yike.
Yan Ge became an overnight sensation because of a song. Everyone thought it was just a flash in the pan, but unexpectedly, Yan Ge relied on his personal charm and outstanding professional skills to attract fans like crazy and instantly became a top star.
Song Yike was insanely jealous.
He suddenly regretted not fighting for this song back then, and also felt that his manager, Jian Huan, was biased towards Yan Ge.
These past two days, I heard that Yan Ge has released new songs, and not just one. Song Yike couldn't hold back anymore. Why should the company's resources be given to Yan Ge?
He's been with Qingcheng Entertainment for four years now, but he's still not very popular, and most of his former fans have left.
So when he found out that Yan Ge was coming over to discuss something today, he immediately squatted down at the door and dragged him into the conference room.
"Sister Huan, aren't you being too biased! We have the same manager, so why does he have everything while I have nothing!"
Jian Huan looked at Song Yike, who was losing control of his emotions, sighed, and said, "Xiao Ke, it's not that I'm biased towards Yan Ge, this song originally belonged to him."
"What do you mean 'his own'? What ability does he have to write such a good song? If he were really that good, our band would have been famous long ago. You're the one who got someone to write the song for him!"
"Sister Huan, please have some pity on me. Ask that person to tailor-make a few songs for me. Once I become famous, I will definitely take good care of you."
"Xiao Ke, I really didn't show any favoritism. I've told you before, Yan Ge brought that song over himself back then, it wasn't someone I found."
"If I were the one who found it, I would definitely give it to you first. I know your mother so well, how could I not give it to you and give it to someone else?"
"I've had quite a few people write songs for you these past two years, but you just haven't become popular. Whether someone in our industry becomes popular, how popular they become, and how long they stay popular is all up to fate."
"But... Sister Huan, can't you find the person who writes songs for Yan Ge and ask him to write a few for me too?"
Song Yike had already broken ties with Yan Ge, and Yan Ge knew that he had a good relationship with Jian Huan. That's why Song Yike dared to call her over today, hoping that Jian Huan would put pressure on Yan Ge to give him the songwriter's contact information.
Song Yike had asked Yan Ge several times before, and Yan Ge always said no, but he didn't believe it. How could there be no one? He just didn't want to tell him!
After finishing speaking, Song Yike turned to Yan Ge, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, and said in an unfriendly tone, "Yan Ge, we've been teammates for so many years. Do you have to be so petty? It's just a contact number. Are you afraid that he'll write a song for me and I'll become more famous than you after I sing it?"
"Don't think you're better than me just because you're famous now. I just haven't had the opportunity yet. Once I have the same opportunity as you, I'll definitely do better than you!"
"If you want to stay here, hand over the songwriter's contact information, or I'll have Sister Huan blacklist you! What's the use of being popular now? If you don't have any activities for a year, or two, do you think your fans will still be waiting for you?"
"There's a compromise. You want to release a new song, right? How about this, you give me two, and I'll pretend nothing happened. That's better for everyone."
Jian Huan didn't interrupt Song Yike, after all, he had long disliked Yan Ge. Yan Ge wasn't the kind of artist who listened to others. Previously, when Jian Huan wanted him to create a CP (couple pairing) with other artists in the company, he was directly rejected.
Jian Huan originally wanted to create hype, but as soon as there was any sign of ambiguity, Yan Ge went directly to Weibo to clarify, with reason and evidence, leaving no room for hype.
These social media accounts were originally supposed to be in the hands of the agent, but Yan Ge insisted on keeping them under his own control, citing the lack of such a rule, and refused to hand them over.
Jian Huan had no choice. After all, these things weren't written down in black and white when the contract was signed, but these were common unspoken rules in the industry. Who knew that someone would actually risk offending their agent and company by not giving them what they wanted?
At first, Jian Huan refused when Yan Ge wanted to release a song. Later, Yan Ge said he would pay for it himself and not spend the company's money, so Jian Huan turned a blind eye. It was just a song, what kind of splash could it make?
Who knew that Yan Ge would become a sensation with just one song? After he became famous, it became even harder for Jian Huan to control him.
This time, Jian Huan tacitly approved of Song Yike forcing people into the conference room, as he also wanted to dig out the person who wrote the song.
"Yan Ge, just hand over your contact information. Don't make things difficult for Sister Huan."
