"I originally prepared this song for Chen Fei'er..."
If it was another newcomer who had just debuted, saying such a thing would just make people laugh out loud.
But Lu Chen is really different.
Chen Fei'er's appreciation for Lu Chen has been fully reflected in the "Singing China" competition. She gave Lu Chen a perfect score as many as 5 times, surpassing Tan Hong who likes to support newcomers.
On some Internet entertainment channels, there were even small news such as "Chen Fei'er likes fresh meat" because of this.
Lu Chen didn't see these gossips, otherwise he would probably vomit blood—I'm a pure man, okay
Wen Zhiyuan, Li Zhigao and Tang Qiaoqiao were stunned on the spot, but the three of them didn't have much doubt.
Lu Chen's talent in creation is obvious to all, and it's not someone who praises it or blows it up!
It's not inconceivable that Chen Fei'er asked him to sing a song.
When Wen Zhiyuan realized it, he beamed with joy: "It turns out that Teacher Lu Chen wrote the song for Chen Tianhou..."
"Don't think about it."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Chen interrupted him: "I won't admit it."
Lu Chen understood Wen Zhiyuan's thoughts. For new singers, this is undoubtedly an excellent hype stunt.
But first of all, Lu Chen needs to cooperate. If Lu Chen refuses to admit it, then even if the EMI company stirs it up, the effect will not be good, and he and Chen Fei'er will be offended, which is not worth the loss.
Wen Zhiyuan never expected that Lu Chen would be so shrewd that he could see through his thoughts at a glance.
His smile couldn't help becoming embarrassing.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you use my name to hype up, don't involve Teacher Chen Fei'er."
Even if he didn't mention it just now, he was still a little worried about involving Chen Fei'er. You must know that many entertainment agencies would forcefully join in for the sake of hype.
Therefore, Lu Chen knocked Wen Zhiyuan lightly, lest the other party have unrealistic ideas.
He is willing to sell his work to EMI, and he doesn't mind the other party using his name for publicity, but he can't involve a third party, otherwise everyone will just shoot and break up!
If it were any other rookie who would have the qualifications to speak like this, Wen Zhiyuan was really convinced by Lu Chen.
He is even grateful.
The works that Lu Chen took out were originally prepared for Tianhou!
"well!"
Wen Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "Mr. Lu Chen, don't worry, we have a sense of proportion, then I will prepare the contract here first, and I will wait for you in the company the day after tomorrow!"
Lu Chen took the initiative to extend his hand to him: "Then we have a happy cooperation!"
Wen Zhiyuan laughed: "Happy cooperation!"
He firmly held Lu Chen's hand, feeling very happy in his heart.
The director of EMI's brokerage department has secretly made up his mind that he must apply for the funds for buying songs.
Originally, two days were not enough, and the company's process was not that fast at all, but Wen Zhiyuan was quite sure if he used his relations and special affairs to deal with special matters, after all, the money was not a lot.
If it really doesn't work, at worst he pays for it out of his own pocket first!
In order to suppress Zhang Qiong's arrogance, Wen Zhiyuan also went all out.
…
After declining the warm invitation of Wen Zhiyuan and others to have lunch, Lu Chen returned to his studio.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, he will be interviewed by Feixun Music's special reporter here.
During the competition of "Singing China" and after the finals, Lu Chen received several interviews, including group interviews and individual interviews.
But it was the first time that such a formal interview was specially invited and made an appointment.
Although the other party is not a reporter from a well-known newspaper or TV station, Feixun Music has the largest scale and strongest strength among all music websites. It is worth celebrating for any newcomer to get their special interview.
You even need to spend money on public relations.
The primary reason why Lu Chen got this opportunity was that several of his works were very popular in Feixun Music.
For "Singing China" held by Beijing Satellite TV, Feixun Music is an important partner. The live version of all the contestants' songs will be placed on it for free on-demand viewing by netizens.
Although Lu Chen's works are all original works, they are no exception.
And his works have rushed to the top hit list of Feixun Music many times.
Up to now, the hits of the live version of the three original works of "Dream Chasing Heart", "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and "You at the Same Table" have exceeded 100 million hits, among which "Dream Chasing Heart" has continued for 7 days It held the top spot until it was knocked out by "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".
As for other "Flying Higher", "Youth Jinshi", "Those Flowers" and so on, they all performed well.
Lu Chen's song even dominated the list for a time.
Such a situation is so rare that Feixun Music officials had to use "technical means" to readjust the list, causing several songs to fall off the list.
Because Lu Chen's songs have been on the charts one after another, it has seriously affected the works that many website partners are charting, promoting and selling. Those who spend money have objections—our money can't be thrown into the water!
Such unspoken rules have long been no secret in the industry, especially the entertainment channels of portal websites. If you want to show your face and grab the headlines, unless you are a real celebrity, you don’t even think about buying a seat without paying for it. .
The same is true for Feixun Music. As the largest music website in China, it has hundreds of millions of registered users. In addition to sales revenue, the most important way to make money is advertising and ranking revenue.
Therefore, it is normal for Lu Chen's song to be suppressed after touching the interests of the benefactor.
But Lu Chen himself doesn't care, after all, the promotional purpose of the work has been achieved, and he will cooperate with Feixun Music to sell the online version of his first album.
At that time, as long as the grades are outstanding, Feixun Music will naturally be praised, and it will be no problem to praise it to the sky!
And this special interview seems to be a bit of a make-up.
Most of the above were analyzed by Lu Xi for Lu Chen. She has been paying close attention to the trends on the Internet.
Like Lu Chen's blog, it's all managed by my sister herself.
In addition to the special interview with Feixun Music, Lu Xi also had work to report to Lu Chen, and he needed to make a decision on his own.
"I've already talked to the clothing company that approached you for an endorsement recently."
"Whether to cooperate or not is up to you to decide!"
This is the benefit of being famous, sitting at home, there are people eagerly sending money to the door.
Lu Chen couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "What kind of clothes are you endorsing, and how much is it?"
Thinking about his first commercial, he was a little excited.
Lu Xi smiled slightly and said, "It's clothing, men's underwear, and the annual endorsement fee is 100,000!"
Men's panties
Lu Chen was stunned. He thought it was a suit and trousers, but it turned out to be too unexpected.
Of course, everyone should wear underwear, but thinking about being photographed in a photo with only one pair of underwear, Lu Chen felt that the picture was too beautiful.
He couldn't help shivering, and the hairs all over his body stood on end: "Forget it, just help me refuse."
It's not that Lu Chen doesn't want to make money, but the money is too much for him to accept.
The key is that the money is too little, it is not worth his "selling his body", 100,000 is just less than half a song.
Regarding Lu Chen's answer, Lu Xi was not surprised at all: "Okay."
Lu Chen asked, "Is there anything else?"
Lu Xi flipped through the notepad in his hand, and continued: "There are still a few invitations to be announced, and I will answer them for you."
Announcements in the entertainment industry refer to the artist's participation in various programs and public activities, such as autograph sessions, talk shows, promotional meetings, endorsement activities, press conferences, etc., according to the intention of the entertainment company or brokerage company, at a certain time Increase your own exposure within the segment.
Most of the announcements have an announcement fee. The price depends on the status in the circle. It can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. There are also a small number of free announcements that are purely publicity. Generally speaking, they belong to a new artist. only way.
There are even announcement artists who specialize in announcements.
It's just an announcement that the artist's status in the industry is very low, and they belong to outdated singers, idols, or non-first-line stars who are not popular enough, have no contract with a specific company, or have no programs to do.
This kind of people no longer work in a fixed studio or recording room as usual, but run between various variety shows every day, talking about gossip or popular news in the circle, as well as the little secrets of themselves and other artists. Isn't it just playing some whole person games in some entertainment programs to make everyone happy.
All in all it's Low!
As an independent artist, Lu Chen doesn't have a signing company to pressure him, so he has a lot of freedom to choose in this regard.
Some agencies will force artists to participate in announcement activities.
Of course, without the company's network resources, many announcement activities would not take the initiative to find him.
But Lu Chen himself was not interested in it.
Because he doesn't have much time to read notices that are time-consuming and labor-intensive and can't make a lot of money.
Lu Xi understood Lu Chen's thoughts, so he replied directly.
At the same time, remind him: "If it is an invitation from Beijing Satellite TV, then you have to go no matter what."
Lu Chen nodded, he must maintain the relationship with Beijing Satellite TV, even if there is no money to make, he has to give face.
Otherwise, if you are too independent, you won't be able to stay in the entertainment industry for long.
"In the end, it's the quotations from the two performers..."
Lu Xi said: "Food and lodging are included, round-trip air tickets or high-speed rail tickets are included, and a song costs 30,000 yuan. If you agree, you can sign a one-year contract first."
Performing tricks is also the key point for artists to make money, but the offer made by the other party makes Lu Chen a little sad.
Who made him a rookie without the support of a contracted company!
He scratched his head and asked his sister: "Sister, you said that I don't talk about this and don't sign, isn't it very bad?"
Lu Xi smiled sweetly: "It's good that you know."
