"Ding ding ding ding~" After eight o'clock in the evening, Jiang Kan was lying on the sofa with Zhang Lingling at home watching the recording of "Friends" and laughing at his performance in the play, when the phone rang. .

"Oh? Is it... Ling Buwei?" He picked up the phone. Zhang Lingling consciously pressed pause on the TV with the remote control panel, and then went to the kitchen to wash the fruits.

"Ling Buyi called me, what could happen?"

"Hey, Xiao Ling?"

"Hello, Teacher Jiang Kan! I'm sorry to call you so late..." Ling Buwei's tone seemed a little weak, not at all as arrogant and arrogant as usual.

"Haha, it's okay. Xiaoling, what's the matter with your call? Your voice sounds a little wrong to me..." Jiang Kan sensed something was wrong and chatted with him in a softer tone.

"Oh, it's like this, Teacher Jiang Kan. I, I don't want to work in Feiyang anymore. I want to come to you and join your studio. Do you think it's okay?" Jiang Kan was still thinking in his heart that this child might be looking for someone. Do you want to ask for a song or something like that, or do you want to learn from Wang Yuchang and become a disciple of yourself?

As a result, his words made him stunned for a moment.

"He's coming to join me?"

"What's wrong with Feiyang? Why did you suddenly have this idea?" After quickly sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Kan focused his attention back on the call.

"Yes, Teacher Jiang Kan, you also know that many companies were inviting me back then. I joined Feiyang Entertainment because of you. They promised me a lot of things at the beginning, including packaging, publicity, etc. There is a new song that is A-level and above, and he also said that if I get good grades, he will give me a concert at the end of the year..." Ling Buwei's words had a very bleak tone. The proud and extraordinary young man at the beginning should also be recognized by this year. Some of the social realities have taught me how to be a good person, and the arrogance in my voice has subsided a lot.

Of course, it might only be like this when facing Jiang Kan, but comparing the two, this kid is much more humble than the genius boy who was so proud that his nostrils reached the sky.

"Really, what about now?" Jiang Kan probably knew the reason, but he still said gently into the phone.

"Now, huh... they also cashed in on me in the first few months. In January, they gave me "Jiangnan" written by you, in February, an online song called "Pray to God and Worship Buddha", and in March, An inspirational song that got me to number nine on the charts.”

“In April, I thought I would be seventh in January, in the top five in the online song contest in February, and in tenth place in March. It’s already pretty good for a newcomer to achieve such results, so I I’m looking forward to what songs will be assigned to me in April…”

"I didn't know that I kept waiting and waiting, and even in June, they still didn't give me a song... I was very depressed, so I asked my agent to go to the company to inquire. What do you think they said?"

"How to say?"

"They said that in the two months mentioned in the contract, I would be given at least one A-level song. But didn't they give me songs in January, February, and March, and the results were so good, and now in June Isn’t it just one song every two months on average? Why are you so anxious?”

"I thought so, so I just kept waiting. Then it was August. At the end of August, I had not been assigned any new songs, so I asked my manager to ask again. They said that the new people emerging in the company were not suitable for me. Master, as a senior who signed in more than half a year earlier than them, you should show off your style!"

"There are very few excellent songs in China right now, and the few big composers are very busy. We can't even invite the superstars and first-tier singers under our company to sing. As a first- and second-tier singer, we should make an exception. Can a new singer who has raised his standards and given you second-tier treatment still compete with the seniors in the music industry?" Ling Buwei's words were filled with frustration and his tone was very low, but among the practices of the companies he mentioned, Jiang Kan But I feel that there is nothing wrong with it. This is the truth. Xia Guo's music scene has already reached a state of decline. The singers have repeatedly used old songs and old songs from the past, changed the arrangements, and then continued. Sing and cook over and over again.

Not only singers, but also those composers and lyricists who were very talented in the past years, it seems that their creative talents have been reduced over the years.

"Cengceng" has declined, and it is impossible to write the kind of works that can be handed down from generation to generation. Of course, some discerning people have analyzed that back then, these people were actually not as talented as the public imagined. They just bought the songs of the poor next door neighbor and then adapted them and filled in Mandarin lyrics, and then regarded them as their own. The works are just published.

There was no Internet back then, and there were almost no media reports. Therefore, the Chinese people had no idea that they had been listening to the songs of the Fuso Country for decades. They thought that the prosperity of the Xia National Song Scene in those days was really because there were countless talented people. The reason why the creator is writing songs... Now, with the Internet being so developed, no one is a fool. If you buy a foreign song, adapt it and fill in the Chinese lyrics, it will be searched for you in minutes, and then it will be judged by public opinion. Nailed on the pillar of shame.

Not long ago, there was a so-called

The "Great Talent of Internet Songs" wrote a song about what goes down the mountain, and it was widely spread. It was thought that the Xiaguo music scene had ushered in a brand new singer-songwriter.

Unexpectedly, I bought an uncommon song from the Bear Country and just changed it myself and filled in the Mandarin lyrics, and it was scolded on the trending search again.

Since then, the Xia Guo music scene has been silent for a long time. Not only ordinary second- and third-tier singers, but also first-tier singers and superstars have fallen into a kind of

Go to the "song barren" situation. And the status of music creators with real talents and knowledge in the market is even more prominent.

Their doors were broken open, and countless people from big and small companies came to ask for songs, but after all, there were too many monks and too few people to keep them busy.

Therefore, the major entertainment companies can only stick to their own big-name singers, like the new singers they signed with them... Haha, of course I'm sorry, let you carry forward your own style. .

Not convinced? Don’t be convinced and endure it! Who told you that your debut time was short, your status was low, and you were not well-known? Therefore, Ling Buwei's cold treatment lasted until the end of the year.

Really, I only gave him three songs in one year! And no one even mentioned the concert that was promised at the beginning!

The arrogant and talented young man was already prepared to soar into the sky when he was competed by a number of well-known music companies.

Little did he know that the reality was so cruel, it was like being hidden in the snow. He only released three songs in a year, and the subsequent song quota was far away.

It's impossible for him to privately pay for the song invitations from the creators. The contract is all in the hands of the company. How much money can he get, 19% or after tax?

There is simply no ability to compete with big stars and big companies for the limited working time of famous creators.

The same goes for Uncle Kan. Although they are all signed singers from the same company, Jiang Kan's songs must be released through the company. Even if he can contact Jiang Kan to help him write a song, there are still many problems inside and outside. Once the expenses are settled, he won’t be able to afford it even if he sells it now!

"Uncle Kan, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I was really too arrogant back then. It was only after this year of social education that I realized how ambitious I was back then... That's it. Let me tell you, I thought I was the annual champion of "Cool Boys". I would have to earn tens of thousands of after-tax income in my first year, right? But the actual situation is..."

"Haha, I haven't even earned 500,000 yuan for myself in the past year. Once I pay taxes, social security, rent, and some clothing, makeup, and travel expenses... I haven't even saved 200,000 yuan this year. None..." Ling Buwei's words were full of loneliness and vicissitudes of life.

If it were anyone else, he would never show such a dejected attitude in front of him. But in front of Jiang Kan, he was like a kid next door with a good relationship between his two families, telling him whatever was on his mind.

Not only was Jiang Kan's talent admired in his eyes and envied in his heart, he was full of reverence and respect for him.

It was even more because in the few limited contacts before, Jiang Kan had treated him equally as he treated other juniors, with great generosity and appreciation.

Being treated tenderly by such a talented and humble uncle, Ling Buwei felt a sense of comfort and warmth that he had never experienced since his debut.

Uncle Kan doesn't use his fame to determine his attitude toward him like others. When he was in glory, he flattered him. When he had no songs to sing and gradually faded out of the music scene, he ignored him. He is so humble... Look, even now that I have told him such a miserable experience this year, he is so kind and gentle to me... He really makes me cry to death!

"Haha, Xiaoling, don't give up on yourself. Work is like this. How can there be smooth sailing? When I was working in the IT industry, I suffered countless hardships. I was just an introverted R&D person. At work, the music industry like ours is now an extremely extrovert-oriented industry. There are many intrigues and twists and turns. What is unimaginable about encountering some difficulties?" Jiang Kan said that he has no special views on the other party. , because of Wang Yuchang, he himself is used to the young and arrogant young people being high-minded and low-handed. This was not uncommon when he was the leader of It Company.

And Ling Buwei had a good impression on him. At least he was a singer who expressed his ambition very purely, and he was also a very capable singer who was not hypocritical or pretentious.

"I know, Uncle Kan, I know, but I really can't accept the current situation in Feiyang... I tried every means to ask someone, but the source of new songs in the company is very scarce now, and the superiors can only stick to those The big-name singers are going to be assigned. As for me...it's hard to say whether I can get another new song by the middle of this year..." Ling Buwei's words were full of disappointment.

He won the draft championship in 2022, and 2023 is the time to take advantage of it. But such a situation caused him to suffer an unexpected blow.

If he doesn't get a new song with enough weight within a few months, his championship halo will disappear.

After all, there is a champion every year.

"So, you just want to enter my studio and ask me to provide you with new songs?" Jiang Kan knew what the other party meant, but he was also very embarrassed. His studio originally just wanted to package and market itself well. It's just a means. The songs provided by the system can be earned through tasks or purchased with money.

But if you are spending money to buy songs for others, the studio has just been established and it still lacks marketing capabilities. I don’t know whether it will be able to package and create other singers.

And if your song is sung by someone else, it's hard to say whether the fans will support the other party as fully as they support you.

In terms of income distribution, he does not have as strong bargaining power as a large giant company like Feiyang. Feiyang Lingbuwei can accept a 19-percent contract.

Do you have such strong bargaining power? Will the other party agree to a 19% split? Why? Why is your marketing and packaging ability better than Feiyang's?

Jiang Kan pondered for a while and did not immediately answer the other party's request.

"Uncle Kan, I know why you are in trouble. I, Ling Buwei, will put it here first. If I can enter your studio, I will only seek fame, not profit. You can just pay me a salary for the songs I sing. I don’t want a cent of whatever it is divided into!” Ling Buwei’s words completely shocked Jiang Kan!

You don’t need a cent, just a salary? This guy...at such a young age, does he think so clearly?

Anyway, when Feiyang was there, they said they would get a 10% share, but they couldn’t even get a song. It's better to jump out and work with a big composer who can provide you with songs. At least you can sing, and the fame you finally gained will not just disappear and end in vain!

"Here, Xiaoling, do you really think so?" Jiang Kan stroked his forehead to calm down a little, and asked uncertainly.

"Yes, Teacher Jiang Kan, I really think so. Instead of slowly dying in obscurity, it's better to give everything I have to give it a try! You know my talent. What I lack is a good song that can let me use my talent!" "

"As long as you can let me join your studio and have songs to sing, I don't care about the money at all!"

"A man can't live without five pots of food, and he will die with five pots of food! If this talent of mine is wasted in obscurity, I will never forgive myself in this life! Please think about it, Teacher Jiang Kan, I must I will respect you as a teacher just like Wang Yuchang!"
