"This classmate performed very well..."
This was the first time for some old alumni to see Li Yong. When the vice principal introduced that he was the first in the grade, they were even more surprised. They all came to pat Li Yong on the shoulder and said, "Young and promising."
Li Yong also looked humble and submissive. Let’s not talk about their personal achievements. They are also a group of elders. Not to mention reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling person. People came to praise him, so he naturally had to act like a junior. The courtesy comes.
But when he turned around, Li Yong suddenly noticed a familiar face - although he had only met him once.
I promised to give a reply three days after returning home, and I did give a reply three days later, but there were two choices.
Of course, it is not the two choices given to Li Yong, but their own two choices. The first is naturally that they hope to sign Li Yong, but they hope that after signing, he will still need to cooperate with the company's publicity and performances.
Although they found out after investigation that Li Yong's grades were indeed very good, no matter how good your grades are, is it better to get into a good university and find a good job than to be able to make money as a singer now?
This choice seemed very simple to them, and Li Yong should have agreed, but Li Yong still refused.
So the next best thing was to buy a song from him, and I also wanted to buy the next song.
Do you want to be beautiful?
Therefore, Li Yong was somewhat surprised that the other party would appear at the school's anniversary this time. He didn't know whether the other party was just a coincidence or came intentionally for him.
I don’t know if he is also an alumnus, or if he got in in some other way?
But after thinking about it, he still stepped forward and said with a smile: "Well, Mr. Gu, why are you here?"
Gu Cheng looked at the shy young man in front of him, who was completely different from the radiant singer on the stage before, and felt somewhat complicated.
To be honest, they really wanted to sign Li Yong after they returned, but they were rejected by the company's senior management.
The reason is also very simple. Li Yong doesn't care about making money, the company does.
What is the purpose of packaging a singer's release of an album? It is not just for the income from the album, but also for commercial performances and even subsequent concerts.
The producer considers music, but the company has to consider commercial interests, especially since it is impossible to sign a singer who is not under his control.
And we also need to consider whether they will push for an extra mile, and what terms will be added to the subsequent contract, then sooner or later the negotiations will collapse, so we don't waste time.
Anyway, according to their request, it is estimated that no other music company can bear it.
Needless to say, small music companies, it is even more impossible for large companies, their attitudes are more arrogant, and there is no shortage of you.
The worst result if this goes on is that his songs will rot in his own hands. Of course, they have not thought that with the financial resources of Li Yong's uncle, they might pay for him to package the album themselves, but you have to know that every line is like a mountain.
In the current situation where major record companies basically divide the market, even they have to be caught in the cracks to get a mouthful of soup. What's more, laymen who don't know anything may end up suffocating themselves to death.
However, as a music producer, when Gu Cheng saw such a good young talent like Li Yong, he was obviously unwilling to give up. So when he heard that he would perform at their school's anniversary this time, he guessed that he should be I would perform another song, so I decisively found a connection to intervene.
It was obvious that he had come to find him.
"The performance just now was good, much better than I expected."
"Mr. Gu, thank you." Li Yong scratched his head and said, "I actually forced myself to do it, maybe it happened to feel good."
Gu Cheng shook his head, glanced aside, and said, "Do you mind if I lend you a moment to talk?"
The party has ended, and now it is basically a time for socializing. Although Li Yong is highly regarded by everyone because of his performance just now and his reputation as the first among freshmen, in the world of adults, just a compliment from a child is enough. Where can I participate in their topics?
However, there are many students in the background, and there must be more topics among peers. If Li Yong hadn't taken the initiative to come to Gu Cheng, it would have been difficult for Gu Cheng to find a chance to talk to him alone.
In order to prevent some reckless students from not understanding the opportunity and coming to rob someone, Gu Cheng had no choice but to pull Li Yong to a deserted corner nearby.
Li Yong was fine, and he was too lazy to deal with the people in the student union anyway. It was difficult for Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo to come backstage, and it was not known whether they had gone back or were waiting outside.
As soon as Gu Cheng came over, he asked, "I'll call you Li Yong. Have you ever thought about turning the songs you wrote into an album?"
"Forehead……"
Seeing Li Yong's hesitant eyes, Gu Cheng naturally knew what he was hesitating about, and immediately smiled and said: "Actually, I forgot to tell you. Although I am working for them now, I occasionally take orders from outside. My contract Basically, they sign one by one, so they can’t restrain me.”
As a well-known music producer in the industry, Gu Cheng was unwilling to be restrained by a large company, so he chose this method. Of course, it is not surprising that he has such a choice now.
Li Yong was stunned, "Mr. Gu means..."
Gu Cheng smiled and said very straightforwardly: "If you, Li Yong, are interested in releasing an album, I can help you arrange the production of the entire album. Of course, you have to pay for it, and I will be responsible for finding someone. Even After the album comes out, I can also help you introduce publishers."
He was really happy to see Li Yong, and he really didn’t want Li Yong’s talent to go to waste, so he wanted to preserve this music even in this way.
It was also because Li Yong showed him the perseverance of fellow art creators. Outsiders might think he was too simple and stubborn, but Gu Cheng felt that his temper was right.
Likewise, such a personality makes it easier to work together.
As for the sales issue after the album is produced, to put it bluntly, he is satisfied once the album is produced. Introducing a publisher is an additional condition, and there is no guarantee.
Li Yong understood what he said. To be honest, he was a little surprised to meet such a person, but it was not surprising. After all, some musicians are very pure and only want their works and don't care much about other things.
If it weren't for this, there would probably be far fewer good works in the world.
Although Li Yong didn't have any urgent thoughts in this regard, especially since he was still an act of copying documents that was not worthy of publicity, he did have this idea firstly, and secondly he was impressed by Gu Cheng's sincerity, so he thought about it. nodded.
Gu Cheng didn't look very excited. Instead, he took a breath first and then smiled: "Then let's say this for now. You can tell me the details when you have time..."
He knew that 80% of this would have to wait until the winter vacation. After all, Li Yong had told the record company that he usually had to study for exams and would not have time. Fortunately, it would only be more than a month later, and it just so happened that it would take time for him to recruit people and prepare.
Then he asked curiously: "How many songs have you written now?"
Li Yong said casually: "There should be six or seven songs, right?"
Gu Cheng rubbed the stubble on his chin, nodded and said: "That's enough. It would be best if you can write it again later. It's okay if you can't. I'll collect a few songs for you, which is almost enough for an album. enough."
"In that case, doesn't it count as 'original'?"
In fact, what Li Yong is thinking is that the quality of the entire song may not be high enough. After all, if he really wants to be a copywriter, he must choose good ones, and the ones that come out will be high-quality ones.
Of course, when the time comes, he can just say that he has written a few more songs. Anyway, he now has the image of a genius to the outside world, no matter how crazy he is, it will be fine.
Gu Cheng laughed and said: "Don't be naive. You think other people's songs must be original. As long as you pay and sign the contract, the song is yours and no one can take it away. At worst, you can fill in the lyrics when the time comes, and that's the same." It’s not considered your creation.”
Gee, is this the flexible bottom line of an artist?
"Hey, are the two little girls over there here to see you?"
At this time, Gu Cheng raised his chin behind Li Yong again. Li Yong turned around and looked over, only to see Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo actually come in and look at this side.
"Yeah, two friends."
"Two..." Gu Cheng smiled playfully, then patted Li Yong on the shoulder and said: "Okay, let's do this for now. We will talk about the details later. It's best if you try to come up with a few more thank you songs. I'm here You should also contact people after a while, and then you can start by arranging a time.”
After saying that, he waved his hand and walked to the other side with a wink. He also had friends here, leaving time and space to the young people.
Seeing Gu Cheng leaving, Zhu Suosuo immediately came over holding Jiang Nansun's hand, and Li Yong just turned back and looked at them with a smile.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he encounters familiar people, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
