Although "Later" is a lyrical song, Chen Minhao stood in the middle of the stage after singing. Facing the landslide and tsunami-like cheers, his breathing was a little rapid, his heart was pounding, and he felt excited to try.
Chen Minhao is not someone who has never seen big scenes. During the "Artist Producer" finals, the number of viewers in the audience exceeded 10,000. Moreover, the situation at that time was a competition, and the level of tension and excitement was far higher than it is now.
However, the scene of so many people waving light sticks and singing "Later" with him in the audience stimulated Chen Minhao's cerebral cortex through visual and auditory stimulation - Chen Minhao was not nervous, but excited and high~
Chen Minhao and Yao Yiyi chatted a few more words on the stage, and then he bowed deeply three times toward the audience in different directions, then turned around and slowly walked off the stage.
As soon as Chen Minhao walked backstage, Wang Gang came up to him and patted Chen Minhao's shoulder hard and said: "Chen Minhao, you performed very well today! I noticed it when I watched your "Artist Producer" video before. The more people there are, the better it is.”
The way Wang Gang trained Chen Minhao seemed casual, but in fact he did a lot of homework. He watched Chen Minhao's cut in "The Producer" twice.
In Wang Gang's opinion, Chen Minhao's performance at that time was qualified and excellent as a trainee. But in just two years, Chen Minhao's status as a trainee who had never debuted became one of the top Chinese singers. His level at that time was a bit insufficient.
With the same live singing skills and the same stage presence, as a trainee or a newcomer who has just debuted, you may be able to receive awards. But as a top Chinese singer, his live singing skills and stage presence may become his shortcomings and a reason for others to diss him.
Chen Minhao was also worried that he would perform abnormally as a "mysterious guest" this time and cause a car accident.
Chen Minhao knows very well: if he makes a mistake, that mistake will accompany him throughout his life, and he will be pulled out for public inventory and Ling Chi from time to time.
But Chen Minhao came determinedly, and his performance this time exceeded everyone's expectations.
While Chen Minhao and Yao Yiyi's duet "Later" amazed the audience, "Chen Minhao is the mysterious guest at Yao Yiyi's concert" and "Clips of Chen Minhao and Yao Yiyi's duet "Later"" also quickly spread on the Internet.
[Real name blows up Chen Minhao! Those haters who use clips of Chen Minhao’s singing as a trainee to diss his singing skills, please go and listen! !]
[When will Chen Minhao hold his own concert? !]
[Originally, I accompanied my boyfriend to attend Yao Yiyi’s concert, but it turned out that the mysterious guest was Chen Minhao. I’m so happy~ My boyfriend didn’t meet in vain.]
[I just checked out the song "Later" on NetEase Cloud Music and it already has over 200,000 reviews ~ Excellent]
Many singers are envious that Yao Yiyi can invite Chen Minhao as a "mysterious guest". A few well-informed singers started thinking when they found out that Chen Minhao had given the right to cover "Later" to Yao Yiyi.
The next day, Chen Minhao's phone was bombarded with calls.
"Hey, Xiao Chen, I'm Zhang Ye. When I presented you with the award at the Golden Melody Awards last year, you said that you were a beginner and had a long way to go, but I listened to a few of the songs you composed at that time. Song, I know you are not a thing in the pool, sooner or later you will soar into the sky.
I just didn't expect this day to come so quickly. Knowing that you are busy, I will get to the point directly. Here's the thing, one of my artists wants to cover two of your songs. Do you think it's okay? "
"Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Wang Min, the channel manager of Tianying Music. A singer from Sun Country wants to buy the cover copyright of your "Later" with new lyrics through us. In addition, there are two film and television companies who want to buy "Later" The copyright is used as the theme song of the TV series."
"Teacher Chen, I am Li Wenjie, do you still remember me? I once participated in "Artist Trainee" with you. In the first group match, we were still opponents ~ although we were beaten by you. I I want to cover your song "Fireworks Easily Cold", can you watch it?"
"Hello Chen Minhao, I am Wu Qianqian, the deputy director of "I Am a Singer". The recording of the next episode of "I Am a Singer" is about to begin. We have invited many big-name singers. Are you interested in participating?"
Chen Minhao's cell phone is ringing non-stop: There is an endless stream of people talking about covers, cooperation, endorsements, and interviews.
Chen Minhao's response was very consistent: "Thank you for your love. But you also know that I don't have an independent studio now, so I have to listen to my agent's opinion on these matters. So, you have the contact information of my agent Kang Hui ?"
Kang Hui watched with itching teeth, but on the other hand, he had to be patient and handle Chen Minhao's "transfer" calls one after another.
In the evening, Kang Hui drank some tea to moisten his throat, yawned, and asked Chen Minhao:
"Now many singers want the right to cover your songs. They originally wanted to invite you to sing, but I refused because you were busy and didn't have time to write songs for them. But if they want the right to cover now, it's difficult for us to use the same reason. Prevaricate back.
But I feel unwilling to give them the right to cover songs. After all, although more than a month has passed, the songs in your album are still killing the charts. If you give them the right to cover songs, your original songs will definitely receive Some shock. But not giving them the right to cover songs would appear to be inhumane and stingy. "
Kang replied and couldn't help laughing at the end, and continued: "I never thought that one day I would be troubled because the artists I led were too good."
Sitting opposite Kang Hui, Chen Min thought to herself, what can I say: Congratulations on becoming the envy of other agents? He simply said nothing, picked up the teacup on the table and drank it in one gulp.
Kang Hui lightly kicked Chen Minhao's calf with his toe and said, "You're welcome to speak. What do you think about other singers wanting the right to cover songs?"
Chen Minhao picked up the teacup and shook it, and said: "Actually, from a legal perspective, there is no such thing as a "cover right." But when people often talk about "covers," without authorization, the original singer who is actually infringed is 'Performance rights'."
Kang Hui was stunned for a moment and said, "Speak in human terms."
Chen Minhao thought for a while and said: "Legally speaking, our exchange of interests in the form of 'cover rights' is more complicated, and the pricing is also very troublesome. Why not be a favor and I plan to let all singers do it without paying remuneration." I will cover the two songs "Later" and "See You Again" under the circumstances, but let's not talk about other songs for the time being, what do you think?"
Kang Hui was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said two words: "Wonderful!"
