Entertaining Children

"I mean, I'm only sixteen, no, I haven't reached sixteen yet, and I'm still studying. Why sign me into the studio? Isn't this a waste of resources?" Xiao Yao explained, "Besides, I'm lazy Yes, don’t expect me to keep taking on and filming movies while studying, or writing songs and doing performances.”

"No one treats you as a child laborer." Ye Jiaying said with a smile, "You are our son, and we will not force you to do things you don't want to do. But since you are our son, you can sing and act. Even if you are not sure whether you will consider singing and acting as a career, you will not have nothing to do with the entertainment industry, will you? Will you want to publish the songs you write and sing? You will still be able to act when you meet a character you are interested in, right? You will always need your own team, right? At that time, with our studio here, will you choose to sign with another agency?"

Seeing Xiao Yao shaking his head, Ye Jiaying continued: "So, anyway, we have to sign early and late. As our son, we certainly hope that you will be the first artist signed by our studio. It's a waste of resources. You don’t have to worry about the problem, we are not planning to sign you alone. We will definitely not treat you like a general agent treats an artist. If you should study, study hard, and play when you want to play, but wait for you When you want to release a song, act in a play, or need a management team, there is a complete team here to serve you at any time, so what's wrong with it?"

Xiao Yao thought about it carefully, and felt that what Ye Jiaying said was very reasonable, and he couldn't refute it at all. Then he nodded and said: "Okay, let's sign it. What do I need to do? Is there any contract to sign? There won't be any signing conference, right?"

"The press conference?" Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying burst out laughing together. Sometimes this son seems to know everything, and sometimes he is cutely ignorant.

"The two of us are bosses, and my parents signed a contract with their son. It's unprecedented for a family to hold a press conference together, but it's too strange." You are still two years away from the legal age to sign a contract. Your current contract was signed by your father as the guardian."

"Oh, then you just sign for me, won't it be over?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes and said.

"Hey, you kid has such a big idea, if I don't agree with you, Dad, how can I just sign any contract on your behalf." Xiao Siqi rolled his eyes this time.

"Hey," Xiao Yao smiled smugly, "But I feel like I took advantage of this matter, and didn't make any contribution to the studio."

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

"Am I a signboard? Do I have that much face?" Xiao Yao laughed.

"Don't underestimate yourself, at least one nomination for the best newcomer award is not something everyone can get, let alone you are very likely to win the award." Ye Jiaying said.

"What? Best newcomer? Because of Cheng Ying in "Ling Yun Zhi"? Why didn't I know?" Xiao Yao said in surprise.

"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 stared.

"Okay, be quiet, listen to me." Ye Jiaying interjected, "Although "Ling Yunzhi" will only start broadcasting next week, at the previous screenings, everyone was full of praise for the quality of this TV series. Especially They all spoke highly of your performance in "Chengying". The producers were already very optimistic about your performance, and the media, critics, and the person in charge of the TV station's film purchases at the film viewing meeting thought highly of you. evaluation of,

They have already decided to sign you up for the Best New Artist of the Fei Tian Awards held at the end of this year. Based on your performance in this drama, coupled with their public relations and operational capabilities, although you can't say that you will win the award 100%, the nomination is still guaranteed. "

After a pause, as if she wanted to emphasize her confidence in Xiao Yao, Ye Jiaying continued: "Actually, according to your performance, I don't think there is anything strong in the TV series that will come out in the remaining months of the second half of the year." When the powerful newcomers against the sky come out, you will be sure to win the prize."

"Win the prize?" This is really something Xiao Yao has never thought about.

"That's right," Ye Jiaying said, "This time it's not the mysterious "XY" you made up, but the achievement you made under your real name, Xiao Yao. You won't be absent from the awards ceremony, right? Attend This kind of occasion, you can't just go there casually. Clothes, styling, and make-up all need professional personnel to take care of them. The resources of our studio will come into play.

You used to borrow your father's agent, Sister Xu, to sell songs, but you borrowed my agent to act in a play. When the time comes, you can borrow costumers, stylists, and makeup artists from us? Are you going to keep borrowing like this? If you sign up with our studio, it will be justifiable for our people to set it up for you. "

"Well, yes." Xiao Yao could only nod his head.

"The award ceremony is at the end of the year, and it's still far away. Let's talk about what's in front of us first." Xiao Siqi interjected, "I have recruited a lot of people to set up a studio this time, and now I have all the staff, but I haven't opened yet. Just take your song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" yesterday as our first project. When are you going to enter the studio to record it? I have no plan to release an album this year, and you should not be like before I also put the song on my album, how about we release a single for you this time?"

"Release a single? Can we all release singles independently? The studio is so good?" Xiao Yao asked 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 Shen. He feels that he is getting old and wants to change to a more relaxed environment. Listen I said I wanted to start a studio, so I resigned and came to my side. In addition, I signed some musicians. When the studio recorded songs, they made soundtracks in the studio, and when they performed, they were the live accompaniment band. Usually When you have nothing to do, you can find work by yourself, but the work in the studio is the priority.

As for the shortcomings, that is, we don’t have our own choreographer and backup dance team at present, and we have to use the producer’s backup dancers during the performance, but for us, there is no need to worry about this. "Xiao Siqi briefly introduced, "We have the ability to produce albums ourselves, so we cooperate with China Entertainment for physical sales. We are responsible for providing the sound source, they are responsible for CD production and sales, and the two parties share the profits proportionally. The sales and profits of the network are our own. We have our own publicity and distribution team, and we will also cooperate with China Entertainment's publicity and distribution department for publicity. "

"Understood," Xiao Yao nodded, "but we have to wait until the release of the single. When I sang with my classmates yesterday, I had an idea for a new song, but it hasn't been completed yet. I want the two songs to be released together after completion." send."

"How much have you completed?" Xiao Siqi asked.

"The song is almost ready, but there are only two lines of lyrics, mainly because it is difficult to fill in the lyrics." Xiao Yao said, and suddenly asked Xiao Siqi, "By the way, Dad, are there any rap talents in the studio team? The new song has some hip-hop elements, and there will be rap in it, whether it’s writing lyrics or singing, I have very little contact with it, and you don’t seem to be very good at it.”

"Do you want to play new tricks again?" Xiao Siqi said very interestedly, "the studio doesn't have one, but I do. Dad has been working for nothing for more than ten years, so it's not a piece of cake to find someone who can do this for you Disc." Under the influence of Xiao Yao, Xiao Siqi's music style has become more and more diversified in the past ten years, and his contacts and contacts are already different from those of ten years ago, otherwise he would not have the confidence to stand on his own. Open a studio.

"Since this is the case, don't worry about recording the single," Ye Jiaying suggested, "According to expectations, after "Ling Yun Zhi" is broadcast, Bayi will definitely become popular for a while. According to the consistent pattern of the producer "Winter Sunshine" , there will be a wave of intensive publicity during the airing of the episode to increase the ratings. They will help Bayi win the Newcomer Award, and at that time the focus of the publicity will definitely be indispensable. At that time, your singles will be released together, Bayi The two identities of an actor and an original singer come out together, and the effect is that one plus one is greater than two. The more popular August 1 is, the more beneficial it is to the promotion of the entire series. In this case, when the time comes, they will also I will work harder.”

"Alright, it just so happens that neither of us father and son have really played this kind of rap music, so we can learn about it." Xiao Siqi nodded in agreement with Ye Jiaying's opinion.

"I'm fine." Xiao Yao nodded, raised a finger and said, "But when it comes to the possible promotional activities of "Ling Yunzhi" in the future, I have one principle. I can follow the arrangement during the summer vacation, but after the school starts , I will not ask for leave to run a publicity announcement."

"Of course, you are a student after all. There is no way to ask for leave to film a movie. If you ask for leave to run publicity, let alone you, we will not agree." Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying also agreed.

After breakfast, the family of three settled all the things that needed to be discussed.

After breakfast, Ye Jiaying asked her agent to go to "Winter Sunshine" to discuss the follow-up second wave of publicity plans after the broadcast of "Legend of Clouds". Xiao Siqi also went out to the studio, saying that he was going to start contacting suitable rap talents to teach Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao has nothing to do today, remembering that he promised Chen Mingfei yesterday to find him to play, and since the rap teacher has not yet been found, "Ling Yunzhi" has not yet started broadcasting, and there are still a few days of free time, he simply Let's find out and get together more.

After a few phone calls, it turned out that those guys from yesterday had completely relaxed themselves because of the summer vacation, and they drank alcohol yesterday, so they were still lying in bed at this time. If you want to ask them out, you have to wait until the afternoon.

When the classmates couldn't get an appointment, Xiao Yao called Zhao Rui, Xu Fei, and Chen Xiaoting again, and wanted to ask them out to find a place to play parkour. As a result, because it was not long before the summer vacation, both Zhao Rui and Xu Fei were still lying on the bed and didn't get up. They answered Xiao Yao's call in a daze, and casually said that the weather was too hot and not suitable for outdoor sports. Refused. Chen Xiaoting got up, but she is in Donghai City, and she is filming on the set.

It's rare that you can't get a companion when you want to go out, looking at the empty room, Xiao Yao feels a sense of emptiness and boredom. Xiao Yao, who was so bored, simply picked up his photographic equipment and went to the street to play street photography, which he had rarely done in the past two years.
