Chapter 120

"I mean, I'm only sixteen. No, I'm not even sixteen. I'm still studying. Why sign me into the studio? Isn't that a waste of resources? " Xiao Yao explained, "besides, I'm very lazy. Don't expect me to read while I'm still doing movies or writing songs and performing."

"No one's using you as a child laborer." Ye Jiaying said with a smile, "you are our son, and we will not force you to do what you do not want to do. But since you are our son, you can sing and act. Even if you are not sure whether you will take singing and acting as a career, but it will not be completely unrelated to the entertainment industry, right? Do you want to publish the song you wrote? When you come across the characters you're interested in, you'll still play them, right? You always need your own team, right? At that time, there will be our studio here. Will you choose to sign another agency? "

Seeing Xiao Yao shaking her head, Ye Jiaying continued: "so, anyway, you have to sign early and late. As our son, we certainly hope you are the first artist in our studio to sign a contract. You don't have to worry about the waste of resources. We're not going to sign you alone. We certainly don't treat you like the general agents treat artists. You should study hard when you want to play. When you want to sing, act and need the agent team, there will be a complete team here to serve you at any time. What's wrong? "

Xiao Yao thought about it carefully, and felt that what Ye Jiaying said was very reasonable, which could not be refuted at all. He nodded and said, "OK, then sign it. What do you need me to do? On what contract? There won't be any signing press conference, will there? "

"Press conference?" Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying laughed together. Sometimes the son seems to know everything, and sometimes he's cute and ignorant.

"We are the boss, our parents signed a contract with our son, and the whole family held a press conference together. It's unprecedented, but it's too strange." This time, Ye Jiaying said, "besides, 18 is the legal age to sign a contract. You are two years away. Your current contracts are signed by your father as a guardian for you. "

"Oh, you can just sign it for me, won't it?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes.

"Hey, you have such a big idea. I won't agree with you. Dad, how can I sign any contract on your behalf?" This time, Xiao Siqi rolled his eyes.

"Haha," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "but I feel like I've taken advantage of it, and I haven't made any contribution to the studio."

"We can't say that," said Ye Jiaying. "Although there won't be a press conference, we will spread the news of your signing with us in the circle. Don't underestimate your role. We are going to use you as the third living signboard besides us to attract people. You are very helpful for us to sign new people."

"I'll be the sign? Do I have so much face? " Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Don't underestimate yourself. At least one of the best newcomer nominations can't be won by everyone. Don't say you are likely to win the prize." Ye Jiaying said.

"What? Best newcomer? Because of Ling Yunzhi? Why don't I know? " Xiao Yao was surprised.

"Why are you so surprised? Do you really think you know everything? We haven't told you yet. Of course you don't know. Isn't your mother going to tell you? " Xiao Siqi glanced at Xiao Yao.

"Hey, Dad, you..." Xiao Yao glared.

"All right, be quiet and listen to me." Ye Jiaying interjected, "although Ling Yunzhi will only be on air next week, at the previous film viewing meeting, everyone was full of praise for the quality of this TV play. Especially for your acting, their evaluation is very high. The producers have been very optimistic about your performance. In addition to the comments from the media, commentators and TV station buyers, they have decided to apply for you for the Best Newcomer Award at the end of this year. With your performance in this play, plus their public relations and operation ability, although you dare not say that you will win 100% of the awards, the nomination is still secure. "

After a pause, it seems that she wants to emphasize her confidence in Xiao Yao. Ye Jiaying goes on: "in fact, according to your performance, I think as long as there are no strong newcomers coming out of the TV series in the remaining months of the second half of the year, you are sure to win the prize."

"The prize?" This is something Xiao Yao never thought about.

"Yes," said Ye Jiaying, "it's not the mysterious" XY "you made this time, but the achievement you made in Xiao Yao's real name. You won't be absent at the award ceremony, will you? To attend such an occasion, you can't just go there casually. You need professional personnel to take care of clothes, modeling and make-up. Our studio resources will have a place to use.

You used to sell songs by borrowing your father's agent, sister Xu. You borrowed my agent for acting, and then you'll come to us to borrow costume designers, stylists and makeup artists? Are you borrowing it all the time? Sign our studio, and our people will get it right for you. "

"Well, it is." Xiao Yao only nodded."The award ceremony is at the end of the year. It's still far away. Let's talk about the present." Xiao Siqi interjected, "this time I set up the studio, but I've got a lot of people. Now there are all kinds of people, but I haven't opened one yet. Just take your song "the brightest star in the night sky" yesterday as our first project. When are you going to go into the studio and record it? I don't have a plan to release an album this year, and you don't want to put songs on my album as before. How about a single for you this time? "

"A single? Can we all release the single independently? Is the studio so awesome Xiao Yao asks curiously.

"I won't talk about your mother's Performing Arts Department, just my music department. The main arranger and producer is my teacher, Shen Yinan. He felt old and wanted a more relaxed environment. When I heard that I was going to build a studio, I resigned and came to my side. In addition, they have signed some musicians. When the studio records songs, they do the soundtrack in the studio. When they perform, they are the live accompaniment band. You can find your own work when you are free, but the work in the studio is preferred.

If we want to talk about the shortcomings, that is, we don't have our own choreographer and accompaniment team at present, and we have to use the producer's accompaniment when performing, but for us, we don't have to worry about it. " Xiao Siqi simply said, "we have the ability to make albums ourselves, so we cooperate with Huayu in physical sales. We are responsible for providing sound source, they are responsible for CD production and sales, and both sides distribute profits in proportion. The sales and profits of the Internet are our own. We have our own publicity team, and we will also cooperate with the Publicity Department of Huayu

"I see," Xiao Yao nodded, "but I have to wait for the single. When I sang with my classmates yesterday, I had the idea of a new song, but it hasn't been finished yet. I want to finish the two songs together

"How much has been done?" Xiao Siqi asked.

"The song is almost finished, but the words are only two sentences, mainly because it's difficult to fill in the words." Xiao Yao said, suddenly asked Xiao Siqi, "by the way, Dad, is there any rap talent in the studio team? My new song has some hip-hop elements. There will be rap in it. I don't know much about lyrics or singing. You don't seem to be very good at it

"New tricks again?" Xiao Siqi is very interested in the way, "no studio, I have ah. Dad has not been fooling around for more than ten years. It's not a piece of cake to find a person in this field for you. " Under the influence of Xiao Yao, Xiao Siqi's music style has become more and more diversified over the past ten years, and his contacts and contacts are not the same as they were more and more years ago. Otherwise, he would not have the confidence to open his own studio.

"In that case, don't worry about recording the single," suggested Ye Jiaying. "It's expected that after Ling Yunzhi is broadcast, Bayi will be on fire for a while. According to the producer's "winter sunshine" mode, there will be a wave of intensive publicity during the show to improve the audience rating. They wanted to help Bayi win the Rookie Award. At that time, the focus of publicity must be Bayi. When the time comes, your single will come out together, and the two identities of August 1 actor and original singer will come out together. The effect will be one plus one more than two. The more popular August day is, the more beneficial it is to the publicity of the whole drama. In this case, when it comes to publicity, they will do their best. "

"Well, it happens that we have never really played this kind of rap music, so we can have a good understanding of it." Xiao Siqi nodded and agreed with Ye Jiaying.

"I have no problem, either." Xiao Yao nodded, pointed up a finger and said, "but when it comes to the possible publicity activities of Ling Yunzhi, I have one principle. In summer vacation, I can follow the arrangement, but after the school starts, I won't ask for leave to run the publicity notice."

"Of course, you are a student after all. There's no way to ask for leave for filming. We won't agree to ask for leave for publicity, let alone you. " Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying also agreed.

After a breakfast, the three members of the family have settled everything they need to discuss.

After breakfast, Ye Jiaying invited her agent to "winter sunshine" to discuss the second wave of publicity plan after the launch of "Ling Yunzhi". Xiao Siqi also went out to the studio and said that he would start to contact the right rap talents to teach Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao has nothing to do today. He thought of yesterday's promise that Chen Mingfei would come out to play with him. Now that the rap teacher hasn't been found well, Ling Yunzhi hasn't been broadcast, and there are still a few free days, he just wants to find everyone out and get together.

After a few phone calls, I found that those guys yesterday completely relaxed themselves because of the summer vacation. In addition, they drank wine yesterday, and they still stayed in bed at this time. If you want to ask them out, you have to wait until afternoon.

Xiao Yao calls Zhao Rui, Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting to ask them out to find a place to play Parkour. As a result, Zhao Rui and Xu Fei are still lying in bed. They answer Xiao Yao's phone in a daze and refuse because it's too hot for outdoor sports. Chen Xiaoting is getting up, but she is in Donghai City, and she is filming.It's very rare to go out without company. Looking at the empty room, Xiao Yao feels a burst of emptiness and boredom. Bored Xiao Yao simply took up his own photography equipment and went to the street to play the street photography that he had rarely played in the past two years.
