1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 131 "Xiao Wu" is finished, and the big devil is accepted as his apprentice! (report the score of the book)

Hearing Tan Jing's answer, Jiang Xiaofeng smiled relievedly, and said, "That's fine, you come to the company to see me tomorrow, and we can discuss the details of the contract."

"it is good."

After talking on the phone with Jiang Xiaofeng, Tan Jing came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream, feeling that her hand holding the microphone was wet.

Tan Jing was originally worried that Jiang Xiaofeng was just talking to her, but fortunately Jiang Xiaofeng didn't just talk about it, but really wanted to sign her.

The reason why Jiang Xiaofeng wanted to sign Tan Jing was also because in the memory of his previous life, he clearly knew that Tan Jing was a very versatile and capable singer, and he could make up any type of music at will.

Because Tan Jing's singing skills are too strong, she can control any style of music, and her high pitch is deafening, and she is also hailed as the "big devil" by the industry and outside the industry.

Moreover, Tan has received a good music education since he was a child, and has been training in music, making continuous progress and innovation.

Of course, today's Tan Jing is still young after all, and she is far from reaching the peak level. Even so, with a professional background, she can still beat many pop singers in the music world.

In Jiang Xiaofeng's previous life memories, Tan Jing, as a capable singer of the national team, had the only shortcoming that she had no masterpieces, no single well-known songs.

This can't be blamed on Tan Jing, after all, she is just a capable singer and has no creative ability.

In other words, if Jiang Xiaofeng could sign Tan Jing to Century Records, it would be a great blessing for both parties.

The next day, in the morning.

After recording the last song of the new Cantonese album, Jiang Xiaofeng was in the office and started discussing with Tan Jing about cooperation matters.

Because of fear of failure and other uncertain factors, Tan Jing did not dare to sign a long-term contract with Jiang Xiaofeng, and wanted to sign a short-term contract with Jiang Xiaofeng for 3 years, wanting to test the waters.

Jiang Xiaofeng told her directly: "Impossible! How can a singer sign with a record company for three years, at least it will start with five years, or even seven years."

"If I want to sign a singer, it will start in 7 years. When Xu Huaiyu joins our company, it will also be signed for 7 years. Only when we sign a long-term contract with us, our company will pay attention to her and train her with heart."

"Let me tell you this, for ordinary singers, when they sign a contract with a record company, they are doing chores in the early stage. They have to wait for a year or two first, and they won't let you release the film right away!"

"But our company is different. I can assure you that as long as you are willing to sign a contract with our company, you can release your first record next year, and at least one record per year."

"In addition, for your new album, I will personally produce it for you. I will help you write new songs like I helped Xu Huaiyu, and make you a hit."

"However, if you only release one record and only one or two hits, it is far from enough. If there is no follow-up hit, you are likely to be just a shooting star in the music world, fleeting..."

After talking clearly with Tan Jing, Jiang Xiaofeng stopped persuading her, but gave Tan Jing the right to choose, let her think about it, and let her make her own decision.

Tan Jing also had to admit that Jiang Xiaofeng's offer was indeed very tempting and attractive.

However, it took seven years to sign a contract, and Tan Jing was also very worried, not sure whether this road would be full of stars or full of thorns.

Tan Jing couldn't make a decision for the time being, so she said to Jiang Xiaofeng, "Mr. Jiang, can I go back and discuss it with my parents?"

Jiang Xiaofeng was also very reasonable, and said to her: "Of course, this is your freedom and your right."

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng being so tolerant, Tan Jing was also very grateful and said, "Thank you."

Anyway, this has already been said, no matter whether Tan Jing is willing to sign for 7 years or not, Jiang Xiaofeng can accept it calmly.

There is a saying, Maxima is common, Bole is rare, Jiang Xiaofeng is willing to support Tan Jing, it is Tan Jing's blessing, if Tan Jing does not know good and bad, it is her loss, not Jiang Xiaofeng's loss.

You know, almost every month, there will be a lot of business, or a singer with a professional background will submit a resume to Century Records, wanting to join Century Records and become Jiang Xiaofeng's closed disciple.

To Jiang Xiaofeng's relief, Tan Jing called Jiang Xiaofeng early the next morning: "Mr. Jiang, I've thought it over and I'm willing to sign with your company for 7 years."

Jiang Xiaofeng replied with a smile: "Well, that's right, don't worry, since you choose to trust me, I won't let you down, and I will definitely create a new album of good quality for you."

this afternoon.

Century Records,

Tan Jing and Jiang Xiaofeng signed a seven-year contract, including a management contract and a record contract.

Tan Jing's contract with Century Singing Company this time is the same as Xu Huaiyu's, a seven-year contract.

In addition to the fixed monthly salary, the share between Tan Jing and Century Records for the first three years was [-]%, Century Records accounted for [-]%, and Tan Jing only accounted for [-]%.

The contract share for the next four years is [-]%, Century Records takes [-]%, and Tan Jing takes [-]%.

In this contract, Century Records also made a promise to Tan Jing that they would release at least one record for her every year.

After signing the contract, Jiang Xiaofeng joked with a smile: "Tan Jing, you signed with my company, and you will be my apprentice from now on, why don't you call master to listen!"

Looking at this big star who was about the same age as her, but asked herself to call him master, Tan Jing felt very awkward and reluctant, and she couldn't say it out loud.

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and asked back: "Why? You are the singer I signed. I not only want to write songs for you, help you release a new album, but also bring you into the industry. Am I not qualified to be your master?"

After listening to Jiang Xiaofeng's words, Tan Jing thought about it. From these aspects, Jiang Xiaofeng is indeed qualified to be her master.

In fact, in the Chinese music scene, many singers and producers are known as mentors and apprentices, such as Li Zongsheng and Lin Yilian, Lin Zixiang and Ye Qianwen, Li Shuangjiang and Mengge, Chen Sheng and Liu Ruoying, etc.

Even after Gao Xiaosong and Song Ke co-founded Ryefield Music, they also took in their female apprentice, Ye Bei. Ye Bei also respected Gao Xiaosong, no matter who was in front of him or who was behind, he always called him master.

However, unlike most master-student relationships where there is emotional entanglement, the relationship between Gao Xiaosong and Ye Bei is still very pure.

It's not that Gao Xiaosong wants to maintain a pure master-student relationship with Ye Bei, but Ye Bei doesn't want to have an impure master-student relationship with Gao Xiaosong.

Jiang Xiaofeng felt in his heart that even Gao Xiaosong had started to accept apprentices, so there was no reason why he should not accept apprentices.

After Tan Jing figured it out, she suddenly felt enlightened, and she became less coy, and called Jiang Xiaofeng respectfully, "Master."

Jiang Xiaofeng was very satisfied with Tan Jing's attitude, smiled and said "hey", and said, "Xiao Tan, from today onwards, you will be my second disciple."

"As for Xu Huaiyu, she got started earlier than you and is also one year older than you. She is your elder sister. Whenever you see her in the future, you will call him elder sister or elder sister, you know?"

"Understood, master." Tan Jing replied, suddenly remembered something, and then said: "By the way, master, do you have to pay respects to the master? Does the master still give expensive gifts to the apprentice?"

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't expect Tan Jing to be a quiet girl, with a lot of thoughts, and nodded with a smile: "That's right, according to the rules, there must be such a process, it's my teacher's negligence."

"Let's wait until next time, when I have more time, I will make up a teacher apprenticeship ceremony for you."

When he said this, Jiang Xiaofeng also planned that when he and Xu Huaiyu were free someday, he would first make up a teacher apprenticeship ceremony for Xu Huaiyu.

After all, Xu Huaiyu was Jiang Xiaofeng's first apprentice no matter from which point of view.

May 9st, morning.

After recording 10 new songs of the new Cantonese album, Jiang Xiaofeng started to shoot the song MV in Yanjing.

MVs these days are relatively easy to shoot, and there are not so many storylines, and some outsourced directors are hired.

For example, Jia Zhangke, who was still at the Yanjing Film Academy at the time, once filmed a song MV for Jiang Xiaofeng to earn a little money.

For the shooting of the song MV this time, Jiang Xiaofeng also negotiated with He Xiuqiong, the producer of "My Fair Princess", and planned to invite the three villains Zhao Wei, Lin Xinru, and Fan Bingbing to participate in the shooting of the song MV.

July 9, night.

Jiang Xiaofeng had just finished filming a new song MV, and when he returned to the courtyard in Houzhai Hutong, he received a call from Jia Zhangke.

Jia Zhangke told Jiang Xiaofeng on the phone that he had finished filming the movie "Xiao Wu" and had just returned to Yanjing from his hometown of Fenyang. Now he had no money for post-production and food, and wanted to ask Jiang Xiaofeng for relief.

Jiang Xiaofeng recalled that Jia Zhangke only received 8 yuan of funds from himself in early August, and it took more than a month before and after. He didn't expect him to finish filming the movie "Xiao Wu" so quickly. Incredible.

"Old Jia, you made this movie too soon, right? Why do I feel that you just started the machine not long ago?" Jiang Xiaofeng asked with great interest.

Jia Zhangke on the other end of the phone said slowly: "Director Jiang, please hurry up, this movie of mine is not a big production, and it took 21 days to finish the filming."

Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You finished a movie in 21 days, your filming speed is faster than Wang Jing!"

Before Jia Zhangke could answer, Jiang Xiaofeng went on to say: "Old Jia, how about it, you come to my house for a meal first, and we will talk about other things after we meet."

"Alright Chairman Jiang, but in half an hour, you will pick me up at the intersection and help me pay the fare. I have no money to take the car..."

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't expect Jia Zhangke to be in such a miserable situation, so he said angrily and amusedly, "Okay, okay, see you in half an hour."

Half an hour later, Jiang Xiaofeng waited for Jia Zhangke, whom he hadn't seen for more than a month, at the intersection near Houzhai Hutong.

When Jia Zhangke saw Jiang Xiaofeng, he was almost moved to tears, and turned to ask the driver: "Brother, how much is the fare?"
