Because it was agreed before that Jiang Kan needed to think about it for a few days, and it had just been two days, Zhang Lingling couldn't rush it anymore.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Kan was targeted by people from other entertainment companies in Liu Zhiheng's tavern that night.
"Hello Mr. Jiang, I am Liang Kun, the singer manager of Guangguang Entertainment. You can just call me Xiaoliang."
After Jiang Kan finished singing a song, a well-dressed man in his thirties presented five flower baskets.
Then after he thanked everyone for their support and applause and came down to find a place to rest, Liang Kun walked towards him with a polite smile.
"Oh? Mr. Liang... Xiaoliang? Hello, hello."
He reached out and took the other person's outstretched hand, stood up and greeted him.
"Mr. Jiang's singing voice is really shocking and unforgettable!"
"Wherever you want, sing whatever you want, sing whatever you want..."
Jiang Kan also said politely, but did not take the initiative to talk. He wanted to see what kind of olive branch this Guangguang Entertainment agent would extend to him.
How could a forty-year-old person not have common sense? He revealed his identity right away when the car showed up, so what else could he have other ideas besides signing himself?
"Haha, Mr. Jiang is so humble. That's right, Mr. Jiang, my leader and I both heard your songs on Feixing Music.com and were very impressed by your singing."
"What's more, you are the lyricist and composer of this song, which makes it even more valuable."
Liang Kun sat upright and did not touch the beer at hand, communicating with Jiang Kan in a slightly respectful manner.
"So, the leader sent me to Chengdu to contact Mr. Jiang to see if there is a possibility of signing a contract."
"After listening to your singing live in the audience just now, I am convinced that you are indeed a very good singer who deserves our serious attention."
He pointed at the excited crowd around him and said with great satisfaction.
"I believe in my ears and eyes. You are a singer worthy of our initiative to sign a contract with Guangguang Entertainment. You should also know that our company is the top three entertainment companies in Xiaguo. In terms of professionalism and authority, there are few rivals in the country. .”
"If Mr. Jiang is willing to come to our company, we will send professional personnel to operate and improve your popularity. At the same time, we will also provide great help and support for your creative career. There are many outstanding singers who have signed contracts with our company. You will be in the future Songs will also get a better chance to be showcased and promoted.”
Listening to Liang Kun's words, Jiang Kan occasionally nodded politely and nodded at first. After all, it was the third largest company in the country. It was willing to come to Chengdu to negotiate a contract with him. He couldn't be too sure about it, right?
But as I listen to this, why do I feel that the direction is getting more and more wrong?
"The first time I listened to "Someone Like Me", I felt that it was destined to be a song that was widely sung and even popular among people. Coupled with your heavenly voice, the song was perfect. It’s only a matter of time before it becomes popular.”
Liang Kun didn't notice the change in Jiang Kan's expression, perhaps because of the dim light in the tavern.
"So, if this is your true level, then we can believe that you will be able to write more excellent works in the future and bring us countless surprises."
"And your other song "The Wind Rises" also convinced me of this. You are indeed a very potential composer and lyricist. If you come to our company, you will definitely be able to get a job in the creative department. Very good development…”
"etc……"
Jiang Kan stretched out his hand to stop the other party's words.
"Eh... I don't know if there is any deviation between my understanding and what you said, Mr. Liang, but it sounds to me that your company signed me with the intention of signing me as a composer of lyrics and music?"
Be obedient and listen to the sound, not to mention what the other party said has already been so obvious. He didn't talk about his singing in one sentence, but he always talked about his songs themselves?
"Well, it's true. Indeed, your voice talent is amazing. As a senior singer manager, I am deeply impressed by you."
"However, what our company values more is indeed your creative talent. Rather than being a singer, we hope you can take on the position of a songwriter."
Liang Kun talked without changing his expression, seemingly not hearing the sullenness in Jiang Kan's tone.
"But, what I want to be is a singer. The creative side is just incidental..."
Jiang Kan saw the other party doing Tai Chi with him, and after thinking about it for a while, he took the initiative to propose this point.
Just kidding, I finally discovered that I have a natural singing voice. You, a singer's manager, didn't take this seriously and signed me as a singer. Instead, you found a new way to let me be a songwriter?
Aren’t you buying a casket and returning a pearl?
"Ahem...Mr. Jiang, actually, we don't need to explain some things so clearly. Everyone knows it in their heart..."
Liang Kun's eyes rolled in his sockets a few times, he thought about his words, and said politely.
But Jiang Kan didn't understand what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
What does it mean that some words don’t need to be said so clearly?
What do you mean by "Everyone actually knows what's going on?"
When a singer's manager comes to me, a person who wants to be a singer, what do you need to say that you need to hesitantly say, and leave half of the words?
"Ahem...Mr. Jiang, since you still don't understand what I'm saying, I can only make it clearer..."
The other person coughed slightly uncomfortably and cleared his throat.
"As a new singer, if you want to debut, ahem... Actually, in terms of age... ahem... you are still a little bit older."
As soon as Liang Kun said these words, Jiang Kan suddenly realized!
It turns out that he dislikes me for being too old!
By the way, when chatting with Yu Kai before, the two of them mentioned that at the age of forty, they were indeed at a slight disadvantage in the singing world.
After all, the singers signed by other entertainment companies basically focus on young people.
First, they are young, have strong plasticity and have the potential to be cultivated.
Second, he is young and has not seen much of the world, so it is very easy to manage the company.
The third is that he is young and has a long career life. The company has worked hard and spent a lot of money to train him and he can be successful for many years. Not only can the capital be recovered, but he can also find opportunities to make a lot of money during his long career!
As for Jiang Kan, he only showed his singing talent at the age of forty.
His voice is indeed very good, it has even reached a level close to perfection, and is already better than most of the singers in Guangguang Entertainment Company.
But what's the point?
When praising a "newcomer" of such an age, even if he has extraordinary talents, he does not need to do any training and can skip the first step.
Even if he has experienced severe beatings from society, his pure character and gentle personality are not difficult to manage at all.
But even this third point put an end to the company's desire to sign him as a singer.
He is already forty. Even if he becomes popular from now on, how many years will he be able to become popular?
Can the company make back the money it has invested in training, packaging, and publicity expenses?
No matter how you think about it, it's better to just sign him as a songwriter. After all, the quality of his two songs has been rated A-level by the company, making him a rare gem.
As a songwriter, you don't have to sell your face and face the audience. No matter how old you are, you can do the job for a lifetime, and even become more popular as you get older.
Therefore, it is not incomprehensible for Guangguang Entertainment to make this choice.
