Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

Around twelve o'clock, the meals were ready, Wang Xu and Xu Tailang were called by Chen Feng to help serve the dishes in the kitchen, An Ruohua, Lin Yiran, Su Jinxiu and Lin Shengxue sat on the sofa and smiled at each other.

Su Jinxiu couldn't help but sighed: "An'an, your family, Chen Feng, is so nice, he even cooks, hahaha, what a man at home!"

Lin Yiran and Lin Shengxue also nodded one after another.

An Ruohua chuckled and said, "No way, I usually cook too. We came here in turns. Besides, I was the one who cooked a few years ago, but I don't know when it started. , he also learned it, and his cooking skills are not bad..."

After finishing speaking, An Ruohua had a happy smile on her face.

Lin Yiran: "I'm so sour!"

Su Jinxiu: "I'm sore too!"

Lin Shengxue: "It does taste a bit sour..."

How could An Ruohua stand up to the jokes of the other three, and hurriedly stood up with a smile and greeted everyone to sit down.

Chen Feng's cooking skills are really good. Although they cook some home-cooked dishes, they easily conquered everyone's stomachs. Everyone ate comfortably and happily.

...

After the meal, a few women took the initiative to clean up the dishes. Chen Feng, Xu Tailang and Wang Xu could chat leisurely on the sofa.

Originally, Chen Feng felt that it was inappropriate for celebrities like Su Jinxiu and Lin Shengxue to do housework, but these two people seemed to be very interested in themselves, so they took the initiative to help An Ruohua with the work.

Well, since you are willing, go ahead and do it. Think about it, it would be pretty cool to have such a female celebrity helping to wash dishes and chopsticks in your own kitchen.

So, Chen Feng continued to chat with Xu Tailang and Wang Xu with peace of mind.

"Chen Feng, Shengxue's new album is about to be released." Xu Tailang suddenly said in a deep voice.

Lin Shengxue's new album has actually been in preparation for a long time, because of her special situation, everyone is very accommodating to her, from song selection, song recording, production, announcement and so on, almost completely follow Lin Shengxue's own temperament here.

Therefore, the production progress of the new album is very slow.

Regarding this, both Lin Shengxue and Xu Tailang felt that there was no problem, but Lin Shengxue's company was somewhat dissatisfied.

When Lin Shengxue started making music again and came back, the contract was still signed to the old company, because everyone’s friendship is still there, and the old company also took care of Lin Shengxue in all aspects, even the contract was very loose, and the boss of the company is also Lin Shengxue My old friend for many years, it can be said that it is very face-saving.

However, since she is in the entertainment industry, she naturally cannot escape all kinds of disputes. Although Lin Shengxue's new album production hardly takes up the company's resources, her presence still makes some people in the company feel disgusted, especially Lin Shengxue. The album was delayed again and again, and the work of promotion and distribution was not easy to carry out, which even caused quite a lot of conflicts in some departments of the company.

Of course, some people are also making use of the topic, and they are actually targeting their enemies in the workplace, but no matter what, the cause is still Lin Shengxue.

In the end, things got a little ugly, and even the boss of the company reluctantly came to persuade Lin Shengxue to release the album quickly. After the release, the matter would be over. Under such circumstances, Lin Shengxue could only speed up the production of the album.

After all, although everyone has a relationship in the past, the company is a company after all, and all the rules and regulations cannot be disrupted for Lin Shengxue alone. Therefore, Lin Shengxue also consciously made an agreement with the company boss to send out this After the first album, the two parties terminated the contract.

The boss of the company also felt very embarrassed, but for the sake of the company's development, she finally agreed. So, after the release of this album, she became a free person again.

During this period, Xu Tailang, who had been with Lin Shengxue all the time, was deeply moved, and he gradually understood a truth,

No matter how good the relationship with others is, when it comes to real interests, everyone will only choose the best choice for themselves.

Of course, this kind of approach is reasonable and understandable, but after all, Xu Tailang still feels a little bit sorry for Lin Shengxue, especially after seeing the disappointed expression on Lin Shengxue's face after making a decision, his heart was ruthlessly pulled a handful.

At that moment, Xu Tailang made a decision in his heart. He wanted to start his own music production and distribution company. In the future, he would not only help Lin Shengxue make music and release albums, but also create his own brand and occupy a place in the entertainment circle!

In fact, this idea did not come out suddenly. Now Xu Tailang is in his forties, and he can only spend his days in a daze in his small recording studio. Before he was with Lin Shengxue, he felt like this It's not bad, but since being with Lin Shengxue, his fighting spirit has been reawakened.

For Lin Shengxue and to prove himself again, he decided to fight.

...

Soon, Xu Tailang briefly told Chen Feng about his current plans, and Chen Feng listened carefully.

"Very good, I think you can do it, I support you!"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Xu Tailang's eyes lit up. Although he was calm on the surface, he was actually a little anxious in his heart after making such a decision. Being able to get encouragement from others at this time made him feel a little more at ease.

"By the way, are you interested in this matter? How about the two of us partnering?" Xu Tailang asked expectantly.

He is well aware of Chen Feng's talent, if Chen Feng is willing to join, it will definitely benefit the company.

However, Chen Feng thought about it, but finally shook his head.

"Me? Forget it... I'm lazy, and I don't have the desire or ambition to be a company, but don't worry, since you are going to be a music company, if you need me, I will definitely help you with all my strength." Chen Feng sincerely Speaking of.

In fact, on the one hand, he is really afraid of trouble, and on the other hand, he really does not want to cooperate with his good friends to do business. After all, this is a very risky thing. The friendship with Xu Tailang will definitely not be as pure as it is now.

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Xu Tailang regretted a little bit, but then he didn't care anymore. He has been in the recording studio for so many years, and he has a lot of money in his hand, which is more than enough to start a small music company. Just now he just thought it was fun to invite Chen Feng Join, but since Chen Feng refused, he didn't need to say anything more.

While Chen Feng and Xu Tailang were discussing about running the company, An Ruohua, Lin Yiran, Su Jinxiu and Lin Shengxue also came out of the kitchen talking and laughing.

Girls seem to have a natural ability to get close to each other. After eating a meal and getting along in the kitchen for a while, the relationship between the four women seems to be much closer. Lin Shengxue, who was not familiar with everyone before, now Shi also excitedly talked non-stop with everyone, and the smile on his face almost never stopped.

"Hey? What are you guys talking about?" An Ruohua came to the living room with a set of tea sets, and put them on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Lin Yiran, Su Jinxiu and Lin Shengxue also walked over, looking at Chen Feng and Xu Tailang curiously.

When they were in the kitchen just now, they heard the two of them talking.

Xu Tailang quickly winked at Chen Feng and Wang Xu next to him, and then said: "I didn't say anything, I just talked about the upcoming release of Shengxue's new album."

"Wow, really? Sister Shengxue, you didn't tell us just now!" Lin still said in surprise.

An Ruohua and Su Jinxiu also looked very interested.

Lin Shengxue shook her head helplessly, and said, "Actually, there is nothing to talk about. This album only includes some old songs that I sang in recent years, not many new songs."

After a pause, Lin Shengxue glanced at Chen Feng again.

"However, my personal favorites are the two new songs that Chen Feng helped me write, "Encounter" and "Courage". I guess you will like them too."

"Okay, then we will definitely buy an album to support it, I wonder what surprise Chen Feng will bring us this time!" Su Jinxiu said with a smile.

Lin Yiran also nodded: "By the way, Sister Shengxue, you have to give my album the most unique autograph. Hehe, I'm here to wish the new album a big sale in advance!"

Lin Shengxue smiled and agreed, but then said: "It doesn't matter if it's a big hit or not, I just find something to do for myself. Besides, these days, there is almost no market for physical albums, and the market for digital albums They are all occupied by traffic singers, so I don’t have any hope anyway.”

An Ruohua comforted at the side: "Not necessarily, as long as the song is good, there will always be people who like it, and we don't have to be so pessimistic."

"Well, I hope so!" Lin Shengxue finally said.

Indeed, since more than ten years ago, the sales of music albums in the Chinese music scene have begun to decline like a cliff. At that time, physical albums were still the main distribution mode, and the sales of albums can most directly reflect the popularity of a singer’s works. , the major music charts are also very authoritative.

However, with the rise of the Internet, digital music began to develop by leaps and bounds, and in the first few years, the copyright system had not been fully implemented, and piracy was rampant, which caused the sales of physical albums published by major music companies to fall directly At the bottom of the valley, a large number of music companies even went bankrupt, and the entire Chinese music circle almost experienced a major reshuffle.

Then, the copyright system was fully implemented, digital music publishing was on the right track, and Chinese music recovered slightly.

However, the marketing model of digital music has been taken advantage of by many traffic star singers, and it has quickly become a mess.

Because the music market has changed from physical albums to online digitalization, it is not just a simple change in the carrier, the market operation rules, marketing rules behind it, and even the trend and style of the music itself have also undergone earth-shaking changes!

Many singers could not fully adapt to these changes in a short period of time, so they were ruthlessly eliminated.

And those companies or celebrity artists who have found new rules and new rules quickly re-divide the market!
