Entertaining Children

"Okay, that's it. If you have no other questions, Gong Chen and I can go to the recording studio." Xiao Yao clapped his hands and stood up.

"Yiran, you heard everything we discussed just now." Xiao Yao said to Fang Yiran, who followed them into the office and sat quietly on the side. By the way, you go and explain to him, do you know what to say to him? Don’t mention that Gong Chen doesn’t plan to renew the contract. If you want to talk about it, let Gong Chen or Sister Zhi talk about it. Also, Gong Chen’s two Chinese poems later I will leave it to you to discuss with AMG about the song copyright transaction."

"Ah? Me?" Fang was still taken aback, and said worriedly.

"Of course," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "You are my manager, so of course you are the one who will take care of my affairs."

"But I haven't even got my broker's license yet," Fang Yiran said.

"You can do it first if you don't get it." Xiao Yao said, "Anyway, you will be asked to do it sooner or later, so let's get familiar with it first."

"But I've never done this before." Fang still hesitated with a little confidence.

"Okay," Xiao Siqi said with a smile, "Bayi, don't embarrass your manager and assistant too much. Do you think everyone is a monster like you?" After speaking, Xiao Siqi turned to Fang Yiran again, "Manager Tian, ​​I'll go with you. After all, AMG was the first to find me. When it comes to explaining, it's better for me to come forward in person. In addition, I will arrange the copyright of Gong Chen's two Chinese songs later. A more experienced person is with you. You can ask him to learn about negotiation skills and experience, industry market conditions, or ask him to help you deal with it, but you still have to make the decision.”

"Oh, well, thank you boss!" Fang Yiran hurriedly thanked Xiao Siqi. With Xiao Siqi's arrangement like this, she has more ideas in her heart.

"Manager Tian, ​​I'll go with you too." Zheng Yuzhi also stood up, turned around and said to Gong Chen, "Xiao Chen, I don't have anything to do with your recording later on. After talking with Manager Tian, ​​I went back directly. Are you okay here by yourself?"

"No problem." Gong Chen smiled and shook his head, "Thank you for your hard work."

"OK, then let's go record." Saying that, Xiao Yao took Gong Chen to the recording studio.

Gong Chen had practiced for almost a week before and performed on the stage of the show, so he is already very familiar with the song "faded". Although there are some differences between the studio version and the live version, and there are two different versions of electronic music and string music, but the lyrics are the same, the melody is the same, and the rhythm is similar, so the official recording is relatively smooth.

two days on the weekend,

Xiao Yao has already completed two studio versions of "faded". When the recording ended on Sunday, Xiao Yao also took out the lyrics and music of the two Chinese songs that he agreed to release to Gong Chen as a single.

The first time Xiao Yao heard Gong Chen's voice was when she won the first championship in that show. The opera-style coloratura reminded Xiao Yao of Liu Meilin in his previous life immediately, so the two songs that Xiao Yao produced were from the songs sung by Liu Meilin in his previous life. One was called "Who Said" and the other was called "Nonsense" ".

Seeing the names of these two songs, Gong Chen and Xiao Siqi next to him couldn't help laughing. Even the old man Shen Yinan who came to join in the fun to enjoy Xiao Yao's new song shook his head and called Xiao Yao a genius.

After handing over the lyrics and score to Gong Chen, Xiao Yao also gave her some ideas on the arrangement and soundtrack. "Who Said" is Liu Meilin's new single after participating in "Heroes of the World", and "Nonsense" is the song from her first album released after signing with Shaocheng Times. Although the interval between the two songs is relatively long, they both have a strong electronic sound style in the soundtrack. The arrangement and soundtrack of these two songs that Xiao Yao told Gong Chen naturally also has a strong electronic music style in it, which happens to be in the same line as the soundtrack style of the song performed by Gong Chen in that show.

Even if she didn't hear Xiao Yao's idea of ​​arranging the soundtrack, Gong Chen was inclined to ask Xiao Yao to help her produce these two singles. After all, the song "There is a kind of warmth called sisters" in Chen Chen's single album is also an electronic music style song. In the past two days, she recorded "faded" and saw Xiao Yao's production level with her own eyes. But the singles of these two songs were released by AMG after all, so in terms of production, they must listen to the company's opinions, so Xiao Yao gave her the lyrics and music scores and asked her to take them back to the AMG people to see if they are good or bad. What opinion.

In the end, before Gong Chen could express his opinion, AMG directly decided to hand over the two songs of Gong Chen's single to Qi Jia Studio, and even asked Xiao Yao to produce them by name. After all, Xiao Yao himself has already helped Chen Chen produce a single album, and the production level is obvious to all. From the "Super Cool Electronic Music" program, whether Xiao Yao is in the arrangement and production of electronic music, or with The tacit understanding of Gong Chen's cooperation surpassed that of their company's own producer, and the song written by Xiao Yao, he must know the best, so he handed over the production task to Xiao Yao without hesitation.

For the production tasks pushed by AMG, Xiao Yao has nothing to do. Anyway, for the songs he got from his previous life, he already has a template in his mind for the arrangement and soundtrack. As for the time, Xiao Yao didn't care too much. Anyway, both Chen Chen and his own mini-album are long-term plans, and the production of the MV also needs to be prepared. For him, the production of these two songs is just a weekend and two days. It's just time, he has already prepared himself to be a producer, and it won't have any impact on his plans.

In the following week, Xiao Yao devoted himself to the production of the two Chinese songs in Gong Chen's single. According to the previous practice, Xiao Yao would arrange and make music at home on weekday nights, and at the same time let Gong Chen familiarize himself with the lyrics and music. Occasionally, he would let Gong Chen go to the recording studio in his basement to try singing, and call Gong Chen on weekends. Chen went to the recording studio for official recording. During the whole week, two songs of Gong Chen's new single were freshly released.

During this period, Fang Yiran, who appeared as Xiao Yao's agent for the first time, also completed his work very well. Since all the commercial copyrights are sold to AMG at one time, there is no later sharing income, and Xiao Yao doesn't care about the price difference of eight thousand, so Fang still lets go. Anyway, according to the broker's rules, Fang can still share from Xiao Yao's income. The higher the price she sells, the more her own income will be. What price can be sold depends entirely on her own performance.

After handing over the recorded sound source to AMG for the post-production physical disc recording and production and the online operation of the music website, Xiao Yao put the matter of Gong Chen's new single behind him and started to concentrate on preparing for his own MV shooting. As for AMG's request for cooperation in publicity, Xiao Yao's attitude is that it doesn't matter if he uses his name for publicity, but if he wants to participate in any activities by himself, he will not accompany him at all.

You must know that since he participated in "The Voice" last year, Xiao Yao has always been a hot topic in the media, not to mention that just because he won the first place in the art examination, it caused great discussion on the Internet. It is true that Gong Chen became popular because of that electronic music program, but in terms of his current fame and popularity, Xiao Yao beat Gong Chen by several blocks. Regarding Xiao Yao's words that his name can be used for publicity, AMG's publicity and promotion department immediately flashed a publicity plan to stir up the scandal between Xiao Yao and Gong Chen.

In that electronic music program back then, Xiao Yao and Gong Chen were the two most outstanding performers. Although Xiao Yao only appeared in one episode, his four new songs won three championships and one runner-up. Gong Chen, on the other hand, dominated all the players with three single-stage championships. Among Xiao Yao's four songs, Gong Chen alone took up one chorus and one solo, while Chen Chen only had two chorus songs, and Chen Chen still sang an old song when he participated in it for the third time. Moreover, Xiao Yao specially designed and prepared performance costumes for Gong Chen. It seemed that Xiao Yao took more care of Gong Chen than he did Chen Chen who was Xiao Yao's fellow student, partner, teammate and friend.

The various performances in the show alone are enough to let people start some imaginations. Now Xiao Yao wrote two new songs for Gong Chen, who is not a singer of his company, and made an album for him himself. I heard that Xiao Yao booked Gong Chen. Chen went to star in his first directing, which is the MV of the song Gong Chen sang solo on the show? As long as these things are sorted out a little bit, it will be a good gossip material.

Since the purpose of publicity is to deliberately hype the scandal between its own singer and other stars, it stands to reason that the company should say hello to its own singer and the other star. Especially Xiao Yao has disclosed that he has a girlfriend. But I don't know if it's because of the negligence of the AMG propaganda department or the person in charge deliberately ignored the opinions of Gong Chen and Xiao Yao. Anyway, when Xiao Yao and Gong Chen were caught off guard, the scandal between Xiao Yao and Gong Chen suddenly broke out on the Internet.

Celebrity gossip, most of them start from the revelations of gossip tabloids. This is the case with the scandal between Xiao Yao and Gong Chen.

"love at first sight? The New Romance of the No. 1 Scholar in the Art Examination"

An article with a skeptical tone that broke the news that Xiao Yao and Gong Chen met on the program "Super Cool Electronic Music" and fell in love with each other suddenly appeared on the website of a gossip media.

In the article, by sorting out and analyzing the performances of Xiao Yao and Gong Chen in the show, it is speculated that the two may have an affair. The main story is that Gong Chen received some special care from Xiao Yao in the program.

After Xiao Yao participated in the fifth episode, the song that Gong Chen and Chen Chen sang together in the sixth episode was written by Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao even borrowed it from the famous French designer Gilles Fensel for Gong Chen to make her look A fairy costume. So far, it seems to be okay. After all, Gong Chen was loaned to the Shazhou team in the sixth period, and he cooperated with his colleague and friend Chen Chen. It is normal for Xiao Yao to contribute some strength in it.

But in the seventh period, when Gong Chen returned to Wan Peiling's team, the songs Gong Chen sang were still Xiao Yao's original works, and the entire performance, from the song's choreography and soundtrack to the entire stage design, was also arranged by Xiao Yao. , you can't help but make people think a little bit. After all, Xiao Yao was invited by Shazhou to the show, and Gong Chen was a player in Wan Peiling's team. If it was because of Wan Peiling, when Wan Peiling lent Gong Chen to Shazhou in the sixth issue, Xiao Yao had already repaid her favor by helping "Green Apple Girl" design the Korean song. It is said that Gong Chen has just completed the recording of the new single that is about to be released. From the composition of the lyrics to the arrangement and soundtrack of the two songs, and even the recording and production, Xiao Yao single-handedly arranged them. This shows that there is very likely some kind of special relationship between the two Feelings.

For such an analysis-based report, most people would not take it seriously, or even sneer at it. You must know that Xiao Yao has disclosed the identity of himself and his girlfriend in a high-profile manner. Posted "childhood sweetheart" on Weibo, performed sweetly on the same stage in "The Voice", and even played a flash mob on the street to publicly post sugar and abuse dogs. Although some media reported that Xiao Yao's girlfriend Sun Tingting went to the United States to study, they have never heard of the two breaking up!

Therefore, after this article came out, apart from attracting some accusations of sensationalism and fabricating scandals, it did not cause much repercussions. However, a series of shocking stories with pictures and evidence that came out later made more and more people suspicious, and once again pushed Xiao Yao to the news headlines of major entertainment websites.
