Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

"tutor??"

A bunch of question marks popped up above Xia Yuan's head: "Are you kidding me?"

Is this right?
Shouldn't it be the director?
If the other party invited him to be the director of such a music variety show, that would be understandable.

But the mentor???

To be honest, does this have anything to do with him?

He is a major shareholder of a record company, that's right, although the business of their Heye Records is not as good as the film and television sector, it is also considered an upper-middle-class record company in Hanxia.

The company has signed a contract with Luo Qingning, a figure who is only one step away from becoming a queen of the music industry. After all, she is one of the top-tier singers.

But to be honest, most of the store's appearance is supported by Luo Qingning. Apart from Luo Qingning, there are relatively few top singers and musicians in their company.

After all, their company as a whole tends to be younger, and most of the people signed under it are musicians who play niche and unpopular music. Rather than a record company, people prefer to call Heye Records a label.

For example, country, folk, electronic music, rap, etc., most of the artists they sign are of this type.

There's nothing I can do. My senior loves to listen to it, and the tone of their company is not to make money, but to lose money, so they have always been specifically supporting some niche new music genres.

There is a joke in the Chinese music scene now that Heye Records is used by Heye to balance financial use. It is a financial balancer and is specifically used for charity.

And to put it bluntly, he just opened a record company.

In this situation, let him be a mentor for a music variety show?

Xia Yuan glanced at Lao Liu strangely: "You don't have a fever, do you? Or did you say something wrong? Do you want me to be the director?"

"That's right, that's it."

Lao Liu lit up a cigarette and said as he smoked: "In fact, inviting you to be a director is indeed the best choice, but the problem is that our relevant departments only issue support plans, and then allocate special funds to cooperate with private enterprises. You often cooperate with our official department, and you are also a frequent customer. You should know this model better than me."

"Yeah." Xia Yuan nodded.

This is actually true.

Although it is a plan proposed by the state, in fact the government does not interfere and cannot interfere in these matters, unless it is in the name of the headquarters, otherwise it must be separated from all profitable commercial activities.

The government is only responsible for supporting and then selecting suitable private enterprises through bidding or designation to implement the project.

"So the director has actually already made the decision, and our department can suggest a mentor. After all, there still needs to be some kind of supervision."

"Yeah." Xia Yuan nodded.

He could understand that.

But the problem is coming.

"Why choose me? There are many experts with strong professional skills in the national team, right? With my professional ability..."

When talking about his professional ability in music, Xia Yuan felt a little embarrassed.

He has released some good songs, and quite a few of them.

But in fact, most of them are movie soundtracks, which are used for film and television dramas, and most of them, equivalent to 90%, are pure music, either string and wind instruments or various ambient music.

For example, "The Sun Also Rises".

These are all his works copied from another world, and they come from the database in his mind.

On the rare occasions when he opened his voice, there were some correct vocal tracks, proving that he can indeed sing.

But this singing skill is really not comparable to those of professional singers. After all, using your hobby to challenge other people's livelihood is a rather ridiculous practice.

After all, you don’t practice your voice or play any musical instrument normally, so what can you use to prove your singing skills?

In fact, Xia Yuan's singing skills are indeed not that good, but compared with ordinary people or even ordinary amateurs, it is more than enough.

But if you compare him with real professionals, I'm sorry, he will be in trouble.

It’s just a big word: send!
"Do you really think I'm suitable?" Xia Yuan asked.

"I think you are quite suitable." Lao Liu said: "First of all, my friend, I feel relieved if you go over and look after me. After all, you have to understand that not every private enterprise is the same as your Heye. Your wife has won many People's Entrepreneur Awards, Outstanding Youth Awards, Advanced New Era Women Awards, etc. She can indeed cooperate with all her strength without any selfish motives, but others are different.

People take on national projects to make money and gain prestige. If no one is watching, who knows what might go wrong.”

"You are roasting me on the fire." Xia Yuan immediately felt a toothache and a sour feeling in his teeth.

Old Liu's meaning was very simple, he just asked him to go over and help watch over it.

To put it bluntly, we want to prevent misappropriation of funds and to prevent any shady dealings among the program crew.

It is impossible to completely prevent such things, but as long as there is someone watching, they can be more or less concerned.

To put it bluntly, it is a very offensive thing.

Its nature is roughly equivalent to that of a military governor in ancient times. It's just a surveillance probe at that station.

"Oh, buddy, just treat it as my beg." Lao Liu said, "It's not appropriate for us to talk about the amount of benefits. You are not short of money. Even if I take the money, I probably can't beat you."

"Yeah." Xia Yuan nodded.

That's true. He is not short of money. In the entire Xia family, the poorest person is the senior sister.

But even my senior successfully got rid of this title some time ago.

Don't underestimate the senior. She dares to use famous brand lipsticks now. She is no longer the slum girl who holds a 200-yuan Armani red tube as a treasure.

There's no need for Xia Yuan to send me all kinds of cosmetics.

People now buy cigarettes that cost 2000 yuan without blinking an eye. During this period, there has been all kinds of revenge consumption, with truckloads of cigarettes being delivered to homes.

It can be said that he showed the true face of a nouveau riche who had just become rich to the fullest, and even spoke shamelessly about wanting to support him.

Is Xia Yuan such a spineless person?

Given his family status, who in the outside world doesn't know that Xia Yuan has status in the family?

snort!
"Wait a minute, my stomach has not been functioning well recently, let me drink some tea." Xia Yuan took a sip from the thermos cup, then said, "Go on, what do you want to say?"

"How about this."

Old Liu frowned for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and looked reluctantly at the Wanli fish he had just caught, which was almost half a person's height.

"As long as you promise me, the fish will be yours. I will hook it for you myself and then praise you on WeChat Moments."

"Okay, it's a deal. Bring the fish over here."

Xia Yuan didn't hesitate at all. He slapped his thigh and nodded in agreement.

Old Liu opened his mouth, looking a little confused: "No. You agreed so quickly?"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, fish! Dear Secretary Liu, you don't want to see that no one is watching over the support plan you worked so hard on, right?" (End of this chapter)
