Chapter 3: The so-called original

Chen Minhao saw Kang Hui, who was a little tired stretching his muscles in the summer sunshine, and stood up: "Sister Kang, I recently prepared a song that I would like you to listen to."

Kang Hui frowned subconsciously. She didn't like artists who were too thoughtful, but she still said patiently: "I have all your achievements from the time you joined the company to now. There are specialties in the art industry, and as far as vocal music is concerned, compared to me In terms of our own judgment, the company and I both trust the vocal teacher’s professional judgment more.”

She took a sip of water and continued: "Different positions in the entertainment industry have different divisions of labor. Currently, as an interviewer, I have to judge your soft abilities. As for professional abilities, we will mainly make judgments based on the results of daily training and assessment. If I overstep my authority, it would be disrespectful to you professional teachers, and they will be unhappy."

Chen Minhao nodded and said: "Yeah, I know clearly that not only do managers and professional teachers have a division of labor, but managers and artists have a clearer division of labor. And Sister Kang, you are doing this for my own good. After all, professional teachers will not Being happy also makes me feel worse in general.”

Kang Hui's inner attention to Chen Minhao has reached a new level. She always believes that managers and artists must have a clear division of labor and perform their respective duties. Artists who have too many ideas and like to meddle in management affairs at will are often the source of disaster.

Moreover, the young man in front of her looked shy, but in fact, her IQ and EQ were not low, and she could solve many problems at once. This feeling of offering advice made her feel happy that she had not seen for a long time.

She has been an agent for ten years and knows the hidden rules of the entertainment industry. Appearance is just a stepping stone. Accumulating resources may make a person famous. Talent or ability determines the upper limit of a person's popularity. But IQ and EQ are the key factors that determine how long a person can be famous. Moreover, with the same resources, people with high EQ and IQ can get twice the result with half the effort.

Chen Minhao continued to add a little guiltily: "However, this is my original song, and I haven't told Sister He yet. The demo hasn't been released yet, so I just wanted to sing it a cappella for you to listen to, as a token of appreciation for what you asked me just now. Supplement to the answers to advantage questions.”

Hearing that it was an original song, Kang Hui was disapproving, but he still nodded slightly, and Chen Minhao sang the familiar song in his memory.

"This is a simple little love song,

Singing about the twists and turns of people's hearts.

I think I'm happy,

When I have your warmth,

The air around my feet turned.

This is a simple little love song that sings about the white dove in our hearts,

I think I'm quite suitable to be a eulogist,

Youth is floating in the wind. "

Although he hasn't heard the demo yet and only heard the a cappella singing, Kang Hui has already made a judgment: If the promotion of this song is not particularly bad, it will definitely become popular.

Kang recalled that Chen Minhao was still a trainee and the contract he signed with the company was a fixed salary contract rather than a share-sharing contract, and she was even happier.

In his previous life, Chen Minhao liked this song very much. The original sung was Soda Green's "Little Love Song". This song was not only a must-play in his KTV, but he also played and sang it on his own guitar at the university's welcome party, and the response was good.

"Little Love Song" has no gorgeous words, no twists and turns, no complex arrangements, and no fancy gimmicks. The lyrics are simple, straightforward, tepid and undercurrent, making the softest part of my heart resonate easily. The song itself is very suitable for singing a cappella.

The reason why I choose to sing a cappella now is because I don’t choose to play and sing by myself like at the university welcome party. It was because the original owner didn't know how to play guitar, and he was afraid that his identity as a time traveler would be exposed. Although he was a little frustrated that his predecessor was a trainee who didn’t know any musical instruments, he was helpless as to what he could do!

The rigorous thinking brought about by studying law is still affecting him. Be careful and never touch any red lines. Keeping your identity as a time traveler strictly confidential is the top priority. He believes that after any government in any world learns of the existence of time travellers, there is a high probability that the ending will not be too happy.

Kang Hui was shocked in his heart, but he still said in as calm a tone as possible: "Not bad. Is this the only one?"

From the time he entered the door until now, the young man in front of him has given him a lot of surprises, far exceeding the trainee leader He Tian's evaluation of him as being normal. It seems that He Tian's ability to control artists is still relatively weak and needs more training.

Chen Minhao didn't know that his performance had caused He Tian to lose a lot of year-end awards and potential promotion opportunities. He considered it and said: "Yes, this is the only one that has been completed so far."

After reading the contract signed by my predecessor and Shenmeng last night, I made up my mind that before the contract was changed, I would never "create" unless there was another very critical moment. After all, the number of songs in my mind is fixed. Use one less song to maximize the benefits.

Kang Hui frowned slightly, then relaxed and then smiled and said: "This song is not bad, what is the title?"

Chen Minhao looked at Kang Hui's change of expression and felt a little uneasy. He was worried that the unique trump card of the time traveler wouldn't be easy to use, right

In fact, after listening to this song, Kang Hui subconsciously wanted to sing this song to others.

According to her professional intuition, this song is the title song in platinum albums. It is too wasteful for a trainee to sing such a song, even if it is his original work.

But then I thought about it, now that I am in Shenmeng, not my old club where all the stars are gathered, who can I sing such a song to

Rather than leaving it to Wan Anqi, who might not even be saved by the big names in the music industry, it would be better to leave it to the young man in front of her and see what kind of surprise he can give her.

As for other artists, haha, the good news does not go to outsiders.

Chen Minhao said in a deep voice: "'Little Love Song'."

Kang Hui brushed his hair with his hand and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

After Chen Minhao thought carefully for a few seconds, he said: "I have been a trainee for two years now. I hope to use this opportunity to debut in a group, and then have some works that satisfy the company, the fans, and myself."

"Company, fans, myself, this order is a bit interesting." Kang Hui seemed to suddenly remember something. She added, "That's all for today's communication. You don't live in the company's dormitory, so be sure to keep your phone open when you go back. Make sure any news is communicated to you as soon as possible.”

When Chen Minhao said goodbye to Kang Hui and Wu Xiaoshuang, Kang Hui gave him a meaningful look, but said nothing.

As soon as Chen Minhao walked out of Kang Hui's office, he puffed up his cheeks and exhaled silently. He knew that the last general answer about future plans would not make Kang Hui particularly satisfied. After all, how could he satisfy others with an answer that he was not satisfied with? .

It has been almost 24 hours since time travel to now. Needless to say about future plans, Chen Minhao is actually still in a state of confusion about the situation at hand.

After all, Chen Minhao’s life plan 24 hours ago was to engage in investment and financing M&A business at a top law firm. He would use his time after get off work and weekends to learn financial knowledge, take several financial-related certificates, and then switch jobs to an investment bank to live a life with an annual salary of one million. Eventually I bought a house, got married and had children.

But the sudden time travel broke all this. In his previous life, Chen Minhao had envied the speed of making money in the entertainment industry and the luxurious life of celebrities.

However, he never thought about getting involved in the entertainment industry, let alone becoming an artist.

Even though Chen Minhao had made a decision last night and set a small goal: "Join a three-person group and participate in the talent show "Artist Trainee" on the Kiwi platform."

In fact, this is just because of his quick adaptability, or good self-control. The mentality is that even if you come, it is better to be elegant than to be embarrassed. He really didn't think much about the future.

Just thinking wildly, Chen Minhao took the elevator downstairs.

It's August now and it's still midsummer. At half past two in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly. Although there are green trees on both sides of the road, you can still feel the wind blowing in your face like a heat wave.

It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the company to the dormitory. There is no direct bus, and the starting price of a taxi is 14 yuan.

After thinking for a while, Chen Minhao decided to walk home and comfort himself as if he was exercising.

On the way, I received a call from Wu Xiaoshuang, "Do you know there is good news?"

"I don't know, what kind of good news is it?" Chen Minhao twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that he must be mentally retarded. How would I know there is good news if you don't tell me.

The cheerful voice of the girl on the phone was obviously lowered: "Sister Kang didn't let me tell you in advance. She only asked you to come to the company at 10 o'clock on Friday. By the way, when you come, don't reveal that you already know the good news. . In addition, I just added you on WeChat, please approve it." Then hung up the phone.

Chen Minhao quickened his pace and scratched his hair irritably. He had just finished the interview, and there were others who hadn't been interviewed, so the results of the interview were impossible to come out.

Apart from that, he probably hasn't had much to do recently. Chen Minhao said to himself, "What kind of good news is this?"

Although I really want to know, since I have already asked and Wu Xiaoshuang has made it clear that the answer cannot be said, there is no need to be long-winded, otherwise it will only make it difficult for others.

The earth was originally like a steamer, but the girl's call seemed to add a handful of firewood.

How could the smart and capable Kang Hui choose an assistant with such a mismatched style? Chen Minghao suddenly made a bold guess.
