Early the next morning, just after breakfast, Jiang Kan was ready to call Zhang Lingling and talk to her about signing the contract.
"Du~du~du~"
The phone rang for a long time but no one answered.
"Maybe I was busy with something and didn't hear it."
He spread his hands helplessly, put his phone aside, found a random song on the Internet, practiced it, listened to it, and began to compose it.
…
Over here, Zhang Lingling was looking at the mobile phone on the table, lost in thought.
When Jiang Kan called, the phone was in her hand.
But she didn't answer.
It's not that she doesn't want to, it's that she has encountered a problem.
Because half an hour ago, she had just received a call from her superior, Director Sun of the Singer Agency Department.
This is what the phone call said:
"Xiao Zhang, where have you been? The end of the year is coming soon. There are a lot of things in the company. What will happen to the singers under you if you leave?"
Minister Sun's tone was very urgent. It's no wonder that as one of the largest entertainment companies in the country, each agent has several to a dozen artists under his command.
Zhang Lingling was his right-hand man, but when he got busy, he suddenly couldn't be found, so he immediately called to inquire!
"Hey, Brother Sun, I'm in Rongcheng. I have something to do here..."
Zhang Lingling politely reported to her boss, but also complained angrily in her heart:
"I obviously gave you a report when I left. I came to Chengdu just after you nodded. Why did you catch me and ask me where I went?"
Although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't say it with my mouth.
"Hey, you don't care about the new intern agents who are under your leadership in the company. The newcomers they lead have been in trouble lately, and there is also the matter of the newcomer championship list at the end of the year that needs to be negotiated with all parties... Yes What is worthy of your trip to Chengdu at this time?"
Minister Sun's tone on the phone was very urgent, and he seemed to be too busy.
"Oh, I saw a very good prospect here. He has a really good voice, so I came here to sign him..."
"Sister, it's already this time, are you still in the mood to sign new people? Are you busy enough?"
When Minister Sun heard this, he became very angry. He was already too busy. Do you still want to sign new people at this time?
Do you still think we are not busy enough?
"Hi... ok, the person you like should be pretty much the same. Let me tell you more specifically. Is he a boy or a girl? How old is he? What's his style? What's his personality like?"
As expected of an old leader, he quickly suppressed his anger from a professional perspective.
"Hey...he's a male...singer. His style is quite versatile, his voice is quite good, and he has a good personality. He's at this age..."
"What's wrong with age?"
"He just celebrated his fortieth birthday a few days ago..."
"What!??"
Minister Sun jumped up from his seat in shock!
Fortunately, he has a separate office, otherwise dozens of subordinates would stare at him, which would be embarrassing.
"Forty years old? Do you dare to sign for a forty-year-old? Are you crazy?"
Minister Sun pinched his eyebrows and tried to calm down his emotions. The news really frightened him.
"Yes, I know that the value of cultivating a forty-year-old person is not great anymore. The company has invested a lot of resources to promote him and he doesn't know when he will become popular and how long he will be popular..."
Zhang Lingling heard Minister Sun's exclamation and rubbed her temples.
She knew that the minister would be shocked when he heard this, so she didn't report the situation at the beginning. Otherwise, how could her superiors not remember her business trip report.
"You know? You know and you still sign him?"
Minister Sun suppressed his urge to slam the table. Twenty years of self-cultivation allowed him to finally suppress his anger.
"Not to mention the points you mentioned, just the audience. Have you ever considered the audience? Generally, most of the people who follow stars are young people. If you find a greasy uncle who is forty years old, how many young people will buy it? His account? Have you considered our input-output ratio?"
Minister Sun felt that this subordinate of his had become popular because of the singers he had led earlier this year, so he was already floating around.
Don't even know what they are doing.
"No, Minister Sun, he has a very strong appeal! His voice is very young, and you wouldn't know that he is forty years old without looking at his face. His appearance is also very outstanding. He is definitely not that greasy uncle!"
Zhang Lingling's anger immediately rose when she was questioned by the minister!
She has been in the industry for ten years and has a keen eye. Most of the new people she discovers have become successful. She can be said to be the backbone of the agency department.
Everyone is very convinced of her vision and ability, and Minister Sun is usually polite to her.
Today, my vision was questioned by the other party, and he accused her so unceremoniously of not being knowledgeable. Even my uncle could not tolerate this, but my aunt couldn't tolerate it!
"Mr. Sun, have you seen this month's list of new artists and new songs? The twenty-first singer named 'Talk Talk' is him. You can listen to see if his singing sounds like a greasy uncle."
"Even though his downloads are only a little over 20,000, you have to know that this is a song he only uploaded on the 9th of this month!"
"A newcomer! A newcomer with no background or reputation, relying on his own ability to download more than 20,000 times in five days, which is more downloads than many popular singers who have invested in publicity. Do you think such a person is not worth it? Do we give him a chance?"
Zhang Lingling's series of words made Minister Sun slightly stunned. After a long while, he said into the microphone in disbelief:
"Five days? A pure newcomer...more than 20,000 downloads in five days? Are you serious?"
"Of course it's the real Minister Sun. If you don't believe it, you can go and see it yourself later!"
Zhang Lingling said confidently.
You must know that under normal circumstances, if a pure newcomer uploads his own song, and it can be downloaded a hundred times in two or three months, it is already a very impressive achievement!
And it is very likely that this is the result of inviting friends and recommending it to all relatives and friends. It is just like a newcomer writing a novel on a novel website on the earth. Almost no one knows that you exist!
If you readers can't collect it and vote for it, the author will probably disappear after writing about it!
"And one more thing about Minister Sun, this song called "Someone Like Me" is composed and composed by the singer himself! You can go up and have a look and listen to it, you will definitely be amazed!"
"..."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.
Then the call was hung up.
A few minutes later, Minister Sun called again.
"Xiao Zhang, you are right. This song is indeed outstanding. No...it cannot be described as outstanding."
Minister Sun's words became obviously kinder.
"His voice really doesn't sound like that of a forty-year-old. His voice is in great condition. At the same time, the lyrics and music of this song should be top-notch..."
"I was really a little irritable just now because I was too busy... In this way, you can go talk to him and try to use the second-tier treatment and first-tier publicity resources. If that doesn't work, the first-tier salary will also be ok. Give."
"call……"
After hearing this, Zhang Lingling finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the leader had not completely lost his mind and had to bow his head to her in the face of the facts.
"Okay, Minister Sun, I will definitely find a way to sign him, so you can rest assured and wait for my good news!"
