Qiao Yu felt inexplicably guilty and hung up the phone immediately.
...
At the same time, Jiaxing Entertainment.
Zhang Yutong is a second-tier singer under Jiaxing Entertainment.
She is 28 years old this year and very beautiful.
She participated in a music talent show at the age of twenty and became famous overnight.
Then he was signed by Jiaxing Entertainment.
After eight years of struggling in the entertainment industry, it's not easy to make it to the second tier.
Unlike Jiang Wan, who also debuted as a singer.
The latter sang for several years before becoming a movie star.
Zhang Yutong (350) never accepts roles in movies or TV series.
Aside from necessary commercial performances and endorsements, it's about releasing albums and holding concerts.
He has an obsessive love for music.
He's a true musician, but unfortunately he's always been a second-tier artist.
Many people feel that as times change, the career path for singers is becoming increasingly narrow.
The era of records, tapes, and CDs is long gone.
That's not true.
While records and cassettes are becoming increasingly rare, CDs will not be completely eliminated from the market.
There are always some things you can't do without CDs, like in a car.
It's just that the marketing model has changed.
Do you make money by holding concerts?
Is selling song copyrights profitable?
Every time you request a song at a karaoke bar, you have to pay a copyright fee.
Variety shows that cover songs must charge copyright fees.
Music websites charge copyright fees for listing songs.
Singers can still make a lot of money.
They just don't earn as much as movie stars.
In the small conference room.
Zhang Yutong smoked a cigarette, listening to the incessant chatter of the people around her.
Smoking is not a male-only activity.
Many women, especially those in the entertainment industry, smoke.
Why? Because of the pressure.
Smoking is not so bad.
Some celebrities take drugs to relieve stress because of excessive pressure; there are many such cases.
Of course, once such a person is identified, they will definitely be banned without exception.
Several people in the conference room.
Two assistants, one agent, and two junior managers in the marketing department.
Everyone gathered together.
It's about Zhang Yutong's new album.
The two composers had agreed to work together and were just about to sign a contract.
As a result, it was snatched up by a certain brokerage company.
There was nothing we could do; they offered a higher price.
Jiaxing Entertainment is not without its own composers.
However, recently, good composers have been given priority to Jiang Wan.
She's the top female singer in the company.
Resources should naturally be allocated to her.
Next week is the album release date, and it's too late to find a new partner now.
The junior manager in the marketing department glanced at Zhang Yutong and suggested:
"How about we postpone the album release date?"
Zhang Yutong hadn't spoken yet.
Her agent started rambling: "How could it be postponed? It's already been announced on Weibo."
"How are we supposed to explain this to our fans? It's such a bad influence."
Another junior manager said helplessly, "The composer has also signed a contract with someone else, unless we are willing to pay compensation."
Zhang Yutong sneered: "The company is willing to compensate? Wouldn't that be a huge loss for them?"
The agent said, "You're in charge of this area, so you must know quite a few composers. Have you made any contact with any of them?"
"Yes, we do have them, but either the price is too high (ahef), or we don't have any good songs recently."
"The key issue is that the title track was snatched away by someone else; it's just an average song that doesn't meet the requirements."
"Let them ask for a high price; we can't stay at this stalemate forever."
"With limited funding, the company has invested a lot in Jiang Wan's new album."
"Unfortunately, that album's subscriptions were dismal, and it didn't even break even. This time, the company implemented budget restrictions and is paying attention to costs."
"Oh, so Jiang Wan's losses are being attributed to us?"
"Don't say hurtful things now, it's pointless."
"I should have brought the contract with me back then, sigh."
"Speaking of which, there are fewer and fewer excellent composers now, and the singing industry is not as lucrative as it used to be."
"Many veteran songwriters have been reducing their output year by year. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in such an awkward situation."
The agent looked around at everyone in the conference room.
Suddenly noticing his assistant engrossed in scrolling through her phone, he was instantly furious, slammed his fist on the table, and roared:
"Playing on your phone, playing on your phone, all you do is play on your phone all day long. There's a meeting going on, can't you pay a little attention? This young lady is so carefree."
The girl was Zhang Yutong's cousin from university.
I got along with her and worked for her.
Zhang Yutong, who usually takes good care of you, laughed and said, "Playing mobile games again?"
The little girl ignored her agent and smiled happily.
"No, Sister Yutong, it's Qiao Jingjing's younger brother, the one I've always been curious about. He's finally revealed his true colors."
"The live piano performance, especially the piece 'To My Sister,' was amazing, so beautiful."
"Besides, he's so handsome. Qiao Jingjing is so beautiful, I knew his brother wouldn't be bad either."
Zhang Yutong chuckled and said, "Let me see."
She took the phone and played the video.
The beautiful sound of the piano echoed.
Until the piano ends.
The people in the conference room were still immersed in the music, some unable to pull themselves away.
Zhang Yutong was filled with admiration and exclaimed:
"That's amazing! Qiao Jingjing is so lucky to have such a brother."
If I had a younger brother like that.
Why worry about new songs...?
Zhang Yutong's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said excitedly:
"Find Qiao Jingjing, ask Qiao Jingjing for help."
Zhang Yutong's words surprised everyone present.
Immediately, their eyes lit up.
The agent clapped his hands, as if struck by a sudden realization, his face beaming with excitement:
"Yes, ask Qiao Jingjing for help. Her brother is a musical genius, a freak who can't be understood by common sense."
"The Red-Haired Girl, Later, Bubbles... each one is a classic. If you ask him to do something, all your problems will be solved."
Why didn't you think of that?
Why bother finding a composer? Why waste your brainpower?
With a legendary figure like Qiao Jingjing at the helm, who in Jiaxing Entertainment is lacking good songs?
And everyone knows that Qiao Jingjing is known for being easy to get along with.
The little girl had a smug look on her face.
I feel like I've done something amazing.
The junior manager in the marketing department hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said:
"No chance. Last time the company asked Qiao Jingjing for the copyrights to those songs, her brother refused. He's not someone you can easily deal with."
If they don't even give the company face, then you can't be expected to.
