As soon as the eight-in-six match ended, Shen Huai had already received olive branches from several entertainment companies. If "The Old Song" only made them move, then Ye Cang's strength in "Summer Bug" was enough to make them turn their hearts into action.
Such a handsome, talented and popular newcomer is simply a rare species in today's entertainment industry, and is simply a growing cash cow. No matter how much it costs, people will be taken down.
Ye Cang's original manager regretted Mo Die. At first, he thought he was an unbearable douchebag, but who knew that he would be reborn now. He mistakenly regarded pearls as fish eyes, which has become a big joke in the industry. More importantly, the new company was very optimistic about his vice president, but because of this incident, his attitude towards him changed.
He had the cheek to call Ye Cang, but Ye Cang still remembered him and hung up the phone with a "wrong call".
Of course, the biggest response to this incident was Morningstar.
Mingwei responded quickly and contacted Shen Huai immediately. At the beginning, what Ye Cang signed with the company was only a trainee contract, and the company didn't pay much, but at the same time, if Ye Cang wanted to break the contract, he didn't need to pay too much.
With the ability he has shown now, there are many companies willing to pay this little price for this piece of rough jade.
Shen Huai told Ye Cang about this matter, and Ye Cang said that he would have full power to handle it.
Ming Wei directly took out the A-level artist contract, which is already very sincere. After all, Bai Weijia signed the A-level artist only after winning the "Best Newcomer".
However, Shen Huai was not surprised at all, but stated his requirements in a coherent manner. He had been an agent for three years and was clear about the small pitfalls in the contract.
Mingwei couldn't get half of the benefits from him, but Shen Huai was very careful, and every time she just stuck on her bottom line.
Ming Wei has never been so aggrieved, and couldn't help but mock: "You are so dedicated to him, aren't you afraid of raising a second Bai Weijia?"
Shen Huai did not speak.
However, Ming Wei felt more and more annoyed, and changed the topic directly: "If the contract is ok, just take it and sign it for Ye Cang. He is really lucky to have met a self-sacrificing agent like you."
Shen Huai ignored her sarcasm and said slowly, "One more thing, I ask for the copyright of Ye Cang's songs independently."
Ming Wei almost laughed angrily: "You really won't let go of the cheapness at all."
Every singer will have this kind of request, but in fact, most of the songs written are worthless slobber songs. It is a very cost-effective thing for the company to exchange such insignificant requirements for greater benefits.
Even if Ye Cang has adapted "Summer Bug", the stereotype left over for many years cannot be easily changed.
Mingwei was also a little afraid of Shen Huai. This subordinate looked at a gentle gentleman on weekdays, but he was like a vulture when negotiating. If she showed any flaws, she would be chased and beaten by him without mercy.
Besides, she has already paid such a huge price in the early stage, and there is no need to care about such trivial matters.
So Shen Huai successfully obtained the conditions for the copyright of Ye Cang's independent songs after paying a little of the advertising fee.
After this negotiation, a strong woman like Rao Shimingwei was also a little tired.
Shen Huai didn't seem to have any influence. He put away the contract and stood up, showing his usual restrained and polite smile: "Thank you, Sister Ming."
Mingwei was about to say something when Shen Huai just raised his head, and there seemed to be a sharp flash in his eyes, but before Mingwei could see it clearly, it was covered by the lens.
Mingwei's words were never spoken again. She looked at Shen Huai's back, and for some reason there was regret in her heart, as if she had missed a gold mine.
—
When Shen Huai returned home, Ye Cang just came out of the room: "You came back just in time, come and listen to the song I choose for the next game."
Shen Huai followed him into the room. After a while, his bedroom had been converted into a recording studio. He also learned to shop online some time ago. The room was full of messes.
Ye Cang scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He kicked away the debris on the ground, revealing a path, and then found that there was no place to sit in the room, so Shen Huai could only sit on the bed.
Shen Huai was a little speechless. He had found out that Ye Cang was really useless in other aspects, except that he had a very high talent in music.
Ye Cang coughed lightly, put these embarrassing things aside, turned on the computer, and released the song he made.
The song does not have a very clear main melody, relying on various musical instruments and vocals to create an illusory mood, even if Shen Huai didn't understand what he was singing, he was still trapped in a blurred dream.
In order to avoid the situation at the time of "Bou Lao Ge", Shen Huai deliberately memorized all the songs Lu Yang had written, but he was still at a loss at this moment: "When did you write this?"
Ye Cang shook his head: "This is not my song."
"The song is called 'Mulholland Avenue' and it's a song by the Birds."
Flying Bird Band is a rock band of the same generation as Lu Yang, but compared to Lu Yang's well-known name, this band, like most rock bands, is unknown, and there is very little information that can be found on the Internet today.
"Mulholland Avenue" is their masterpiece.
Mulholland Boulevard is a famous road in Los Angeles. It leads to Hollywood and has appeared in many Hollywood movies. For people at that time, Hollywood represented a drunkard. This is also the theme of this song.
This song has a lot of ideas. Although it can't be said to be excellent, its exploration of music is still advanced enough to this day.
Shen Huai's musical sense was not as sharp as Ye Cang's, but he knew very well that such a song was too risky as a competition track.
However, Ye Cang had a firm attitude and did not intend to change his decision because of this.
Of course, he can continue to sing his famous songs. With his ability, it is easy to get the first place in this game, and he can even become a superstar again, even if it will not be as high as in his previous life, but it is enough to live comfortably.
But in this case, what's the point of his life again
If it was replaced by the agent next to him, he would definitely not let him do such nonsense, but Shen Huai nodded earnestly after listening to his thoughts: "I understand, you just let it go, don't worry about anything else."
Although Ye Cang knew that Shen Huai had always respected him professionally, the two were partners after all. He did not discuss with him and made a decision without authorization, which was indeed a bit willful. However, Shen Huai not only did not blame him, but also spared no effort to support him.
He felt as if his heart had been scratched by something, and there was a tingling feeling. This made the joke he originally wanted to say seemed out of place, his clever articulation couldn't work, and the whole person seemed a little dull.
Shen Huai didn't think too much about it. He has always placed himself in a very positive position and never refuted his artists professionally. As long as they decide, he will support them.
However, he didn't hear Ye Cang's reply, and looked over with some doubts: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Ye Cang regained his senses and showed a cynical smile as usual, but only he himself knew that this smile contained emotions that were not there before.
He put his arm on Shen Huai's shoulder again, as if he didn't see his frown, he clicked on the next song.
Shen Huai was surprised: "This is..."
The sound was playing a well-known rock piece by Lu Yang, but he could still hear that it was recorded by Ye Cang. Although the recording conditions were not good, his performance was as good and stable as ever.
"Have you prepared two songs?" Shen Huai asked.
Ye Cang nodded: "This is the PK song I prepared for myself."
Shen Huai was even more surprised, Ye Cang was very confident in himself and didn't think he would lose at all, so since the top ten competition, he had never prepared a PK track, how could this time...
Ye Cang seemed to see his doubts and explained: "Although I think that songs have their own charms, as competition songs, they need to meet the preferences of most people. At this point, now and thirty There was no difference a year ago."
He smiled: "I want to sing this song, but I also promised you to win the championship."
Shen Huai was stunned. He was used to the waywardness and naturalness of artists, but it was the first time that he was so calm and considerate. An unfamiliar emotion hit his brain, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Ye Cang was originally a little unnatural, but seeing Shen Huai look away, acting even more unnatural than him, he let go instead.
He put his head close: "Are you very moved, agent?"
Shen Huai frowned and pushed his head away: "Sit well."
Ye Cang stared at Shen Huai's red ears, chuckled lightly, released his arms and sat back to his place.
Shen Huai breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his face, and said, "Although the company's recording engineer is good, this song is extremely difficult, and it is not something he can do. I will find another recording engineer and arranger for you. ,—I don’t believe in your ability, but time is too short, if you have an excellent arranger to help you, you will be more relaxed.”
Ye Cang: "I..."
Shen Huai reached out his hand to stop him: "Anyway, you must listen to me this time. You don't need to worry about money."
Ye Cang was not so stubborn either.
After the incident with Fan Jing last time, he had already guessed that Shen Huai was not the poor little agent he imagined. And he is not the kind of stubborn person. The arrangement of "Mulholland Avenue" is extremely complicated, and it is indeed difficult to rely on him alone, and even if he is very familiar with PK songs, he still needs to prepare.
Furthermore, the rare strength of his agent always had to give some face.
He smiled and accepted the other's kindness very "helplessly".
