“I originally prepared this song for Chen Fei’er…”
If it were another newcomer, perhaps it will only make people laugh their teeth off.
But Lu Chen is really different.
Chen Fei’er’s appreciation of Lu Chen has been fully reflected in the “Singing China” competition. She alone has given Lu Chen a full score five times, surpassing Tan Hong, who likes to promote newcomers.
In some online entertainment channels, there are even small news such as “Chen Fei’er’s favorite small fresh meat”. (TN: Reminder: Small fresh meat – young and handsome men.)
Lu Chen did not see these gossip, otherwise it is estimated that he would spit blood – I am a pure gentleman, okay?
Wen Zhiyuan, Li Zhigao and Tang Qiaoqiao were stunned on the spot, but the three didn’t have much doubt.
Lu Chen’s creative talent is obvious to all. He didn’t depend on anyone to bring it out and blow it up! (TN: He didn’t spread and exaggerated it.)
It’s not inconceivable for Chen Fei’er to ask a song from him.
Wen Zhiyuan reacted, and he was very excited: “It turned out to be a song written by Teacher Lu Chen for Heavenly Queen Chen Fei’er…”
“Don’t even think about it.”
Before he could finish his words, Lu Chen interrupted him: “I will not admit it.”
Lu Chen understood what Wen Zhiyuan was thinking. For a new singer, this is undoubtedly a very good publicity.
But first, Lu Chen has to cooperate. if Lu Chen does not admit it, then even if EMI company create a hype, the effect is not good, and perhaps it will offend him together with Chen Fei’er. It’s not worth the loss.
Wen Zhiyuan never thought that Lu Chen was so perceptive. He saw through his thoughts at a glance.
His smile couldn’t help but turn into an embarrass one.
Lu Chen said with a smile, “it doesn’t matter if you use my name to create a hype. Just don’t involve Teacher Chen Fei’er.”
Even if he didn’t mention it just now, he was still a little worried about involving Chen Fei’er. He should know that many entertainment brokerage companies are forced to cooperate in order to create hype.
Therefore, Lu Chen struck Wen Zhiyuan discreetly, lest the other party have unrealistic ideas.
He is willing to sell his works to EMI, and doesn’t mind the other party using his own name for publicity, but it can’t involve a third party, otherwise everyone will just split up!
If it were other newcomers, they wouldn’t be qualified to speak like this. But to Lu Chen, Wen Zhiyuan was really convinced.
He was even grateful.
The work that Lu Chen took out was originally prepared for a Heavenly Queen.
“All right!”
Wen Zhiyuan hastily said, “Teacher Lu Chen, you can rest assured, we have our own discretion. Then I’ll prepare the contract first and wait for you in the company the day after tomorrow! ”
Lu Chen took the initiative to extend his hand: “Then we have a happy cooperation!”
Wen Zhiyuan smiled: “Happy cooperation!”
He firmly held Lu Chen’s hand and he was very happy in his heart.
The director of the brokerage department of EMI has secretly made up his mind to apply for the funds to buy a song.
Two days was not enough. The company’s process is not that fast at all, but if he uses special methods to handle this special case, Wen Zhiyuan still has considerable confidence. After all, the money is not that much.
If it’s really not going to work, he’ll pay for it out of his own pocket!
In order to suppress Zhang Qiong’s arrogance, Wen Zhiyuan was also ready to risk everything.
…….
After he politely turned down the warm invitation of Wen Zhiyuan and others to have lunch, Lu Chen returned to his studio.
At 2: 00 p.m., he will be interviewed by a special correspondent from QQ Music here.
During the course of participating in the “Singing China” competition, and after the final, Lu Chen has been interviewed several times, including group interviews and individual interviews.
But it was the first time that such an official interview had been scheduled.
Although the other party is not a well-known newspaper or magazine, or a TV reporter, QQ Music is the largest and most powerful of all music websites, and to be able to get their special interview is something to celebrate for any newcomer.
It even costs money to conduct public relations.
The main reason why Lu Chen got this opportunity was that several of his works are very popular in QQ music.
In Beijing Satellite TV’s “Singing China”, QQ music was an important partner. All of the live version of all contestants’ songs will be put on it for free download.
Lu Chen’s original works were no exception.
And his works have repeatedly made it to the hit list on the homepage of QQ music.
Up to now, the live version of his three original works, “Chasing Dream With A Childlike Heart”, “The Brightest Star In The Night Sky” and “You Who Sat Next To Me” has already broken through over a hundred million hits, of which “Chasing Dream With A Childlike Heart” has occupied the top position for seven consecutive days. Until it was squeezed down by “The Brightest Star In The Night Sky”.
As for his other works such as “Fly Higher”, “The Bright Times Of Early Youth”, “Those flowers” and so on, all of them have performed well.
At one point, Lu Chen’s songs even dominated the list.
Such a situation was so rare that the officials of QQ music had to use “technical means” to readjust the list and make several of his songs fall off the list.
Because Lu Chen’s songs have appeared on the list one after another, it has seriously affected the works that many website partners are advertising, publicizing and selling. Those who spend money have a problem – our money can’t be thrown into the water!
Such unwritten rules have long been not a secret in the industry, especially in the entertainment channel portal website. If one wants to show one’s face to occupy the headlines, one shouldn’t even think about it without paying for it, unless one is really a big figure.
The same is true for QQ Music. As the largest music website in China, with hundreds of millions of registered users, its most important way of making money, in addition to its sales share, is advertising and ranking revenue.
Therefore, having touched the interests of the financiers, Lu Chen’s song being suppressed down was very normal.
However, Lu Chen himself didn’t care. After all, the publicity purpose of the work has been achieved, and later he will cooperate with QQ Music to sell his debut album online.
At that time, as long as the results are excellent, QQ music will naturally make a fuss about it, and holding the sky will not be a problem!
And this time, the special interview, also seems to make up for it. (TN: Make up for taking out several of his songs from the list.)
Most of the above were analyzed by Lu Xi to Lu Chen. She has been paying attention to the trends on the internet.
Like Lu Chen’s blog, it’s personally managed by her sister.
In addition to the special interview with QQ music, Lu Xi also has a work report for Lu Chen that needed his decision.
“I already talked to the clothing company that asked for your endorsement recently.”
“You have to decide whether to cooperate or not!”
This is the advantage of being famous. He’s just sitting at home, and people are eager to send the money to his doorstep.
Lu Chen’s eyes lit up. He hurriedly asked: “What kind of clothing is the endorsement, how much money?”
He was a little excited when he thought about his first commercial.
Lu Xi smiled and said, “it’s clothing, men’s underwear. The annual endorsement fee is 100,000!”
Men’s underwear?
Lu Chen was suddenly stunned. He originally thought it was a suit or trousers. The result was too unexpected.
Underwear is certainly something everyone needs to wear, but when he thought about wearing only a pair of underwear and being photographed for an advertising brochure or magazine inserts, Lu Chen felt that he can’t bear the sight of that.
He couldn’t help but shudder. The hair on his whole body all stood up: “Forget it, help me refuse.”
It is not that Lu Chen doesn’t want to make money, but that he can’t accept it.
The key was that the money was too little, it’s not worth “selling his body”. 100,000 was less than half the price of a song.
Regarding Lu Chen’s answer, Lu Xi wasn’t surprised: “Good.”
Lu Chen asked, “Is there anything else?”
Lu Xi flipped through her notepad and continued, “There are still a few notice invitations, and I have answered them for you.”
Notice in the entertainment industry refer to artists’ participation in various programs and public events such as sign ups, talk shows, promotional events, endorsements, press conferences, etc., according to the intentions of entertainment companies or brokerage companies, to increase their own exposure in a certain period of time.
Most of the notices have a notice fee, and the price depends on one’s status within the circle. From a few thousand to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. There are also a few free notices that are purely for publicity, which are generally the only way for a new artist.
There are even notice artists who specialize in running notices.
Notice artists have a very low status in the entertainment circle. They belong to singers, idols or non-first tier stars who are not popular enough, who have no specific companies to sign contracts, or that there are no programs to do.
This kind of people no longer work in a fixed studio or recording studio as usual. Instead, they rush about between various variety shows every day to talk about gossip or popular news and the secrets of other artists, or play some hard games in some entertainment programs to entertain everyone.
All in all!
Lu Chen, as an independent artist, has no contracted company pressure, so he has a free choice in this respect.
Some broker companies will force artists to participate in notice activities.
Of course, he doesn’t have any company’s personal connection resources. Many notice activities will not take the initiative to find him.
But Lu Chen himself is not interested in this.
Because he doesn’t have much time to participate in any notice that are time-consuming and don’t make much money.
Lu Xi understood Lu Chen’s thoughts, so she directly answered them.
At the same time, she reminded him: “If it’s an invitation from Beijing Satellite TV, then you have to go in any event.”
Lu Chen nodded. He had to maintain his relationship with Beijing Satellite TV. Even if he didn’t have money to earn, he had to give face.
Otherwise, if he’s too independent, he will not last long in the entertainment industry.
“Finally, there are two performance business offers…”
Lu Xi said: “They will cover the cost for foods, round-trip air ticket or high-speed rail ticket. 30,000 for a song, if you agree, you can sign a one-year contract first.”
Performance jobs is also a key point for artists to make money, but the other party’s offer made Lu Chen a little disappointed.
Who made him a newcomer without the support from a contracted company!
He scratched his head and asked his sister, “Sister, do you think it’s bad that I didn’t discuss about not signing?”
Lu Xi smiled gently: “As long as you know.”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
“I originally prepared this song for Chen Fei’er…”
