Ji Zhiyi hung up the phone and saw that the little boss was still looking at her. Although it was not an oppressive look, his face was obviously full of curiosity.
Ji Zhiyi then said: "It's nothing. I officially signed a contract with Qingyi today, but before signing the contract, there was a copyright dispute that has not been resolved. The agent said he would check it for me."
The little boss said: "Congratulations."
"It's nothing, it's all thanks to everyone's contribution." Ji Zhiyi put down his chopsticks and solemnly said to the little boss: "Thank you."
Whether in the past or in the future.
The young boss closed his eyes for a while, and the change of expression on his face was almost undetectable. He still said in a calm voice: "Do you have time later?"
Ji Zhiyi glanced at the time: "Before eleven o'clock. If it's later, I'll go to bed."
For her hair, she must visit Duke Zhou on time every night.
The little boss said "hmm" and didn't ask any more questions. He finally let go of the wooden table that had been wiped countless times and even started to reflect light, and returned to his cooking table. After putting everything back in its place, he walked into the closed kitchen again soon.
After Ji Zhiyi finished eating the noodles, he smelled a hint of sweetness in the air. Smells like buttery toast.
But she remembered that there were no desserts on the menu of this store.
The waiter also muttered: "Has the boss made desserts again? It's so rare, it's Easter eggs again."
She kept her secret and didn't care what the little boss was doing. She jumped to the cashier, pressed a few buttons, ordered a dessert for herself, then tore off the cup and put it in the small window for delivering the dishes.
Ji Zhiyi was dumbfounded.
Is this still possible
After another ten minutes or so, the little boss came out carrying a big plate.
He put his big hands under the porcelain plate and stepped forward steadily.
It was the largest dinner plate Ji Zhiyi had ever seen in his store. It was initially estimated to be half a meter long. At first glance, it didn't look like a serious plate.
When you get close, you can smell the alluring milky fragrance.
The waiter turned around on tiptoes and exclaimed with envy and yearning: "Wow-"
Ji Zhiyixin said that he had time, but his stomach no longer had much capacity. Then the plate was put down and placed in front of her, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there are plates, they are mostly decorations.
Use melted chocolate to paint plum tree branches, white snow, and pale pink plum blossoms. The shades are intense yet perfectly blended.
It was very delicately made and also very small. She must have been concerned about her appetite.
This plate is less like a dish and more like a painting. There is an artistic conception that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.
Ji Zhiyi was shocked.
A painter who can’t arrange dishes is not a good cook
It's not easy to make money.
The little boss said: "You can go back after eating."
He put down his things and turned around to leave.
The waiter held a brand new towel, carefully paying attention to the boss's position, and glided over obscenely.
When his hand was about to touch the table next door, the little boss looked back and stared: "I've already wiped that place."
The waiter took back his hand angrily: "Oh."
When they disappeared into the kitchen, the waiter waved his hand like a madam and said, "What our boss means is to come here more often next time, sir~"
Zhang Fangfang hung up the phone with Ji Zhiyi, turned around and ran to tell Sister Tian about the matter without going to Tang Tang to check the truth. The two veterans, who have been in the entertainment industry for many years, relied on their sensitive intuition to agree that there was something fishy behind this.
Sister Tian gave the song to a trusted musician in the company and asked them to try out a few lines according to the music score.
The teacher's voice was not very good, but when he hummed the chorus, he still couldn't hide the surprising melody.
Zhang Fangfang's eyes lit up and he said, "It sounds pretty good."
Sister Tian was even more concise and concise, affirming: "I know how to get angry."
The composition teacher also said: "The arrangement is quite exquisite, making people very comfortable, and the light music is also nice to listen to. It can be used in many scenes in TV and movies. It is definitely not difficult to promote it."
Several people gathered together to discuss quietly.
What is certain now is that Hengxing has not announced to the public that it has purchased Ji Zhiyi’s song copyright. Now that he knew that Ji Zhiyi was in the limelight, he did not take the initiative to ask Ji Zhiyi to sign a sales contract. So where did the two songs Tommy took away go
It can be seen from the title: Ji Zhiyi was in dire straits when he was selling songs and had not released any works for seven years. As a full-time lyricist, even if she releases one song a year, it is enough to make up a bunch of gourd babies. She is still suffering from dystocia. It’s hard to make two songs. Who knows when the next production will be and how long it will take
Today's highly competitive music industry cannot afford such a person. She will only be like a splash of water, occasionally splashing, and more often becoming mediocre. Anyone else would inevitably despise her.
What's this? It’s just standard leeks! There is harvest value, but there is no ability to evolve or resist. Facing the evil-minded, shameless and despicable Xingxing, she is still a shining golden leek.
Zhang Fangfang cursed: "Disgusting!"
The connections that Qingyi has established in the stars cannot be found out about these things yet, and he can only rely on his own imagination for the details.
As for Xingxing, a fast-selling company with an overly commercial atmosphere that continues to worsen the overall industry atmosphere, they have never speculated with the greatest malice on this long-standing rival.
The three people had the same guess in their minds.
Either Tommy took two of Ji Zhiyi's songs, sold them, and then pocketed the money alone. Either Xingxing wanted to take away the authorship rights of those two songs to praise his newcomer, so he simply refused to do so. Or it could be both happening at the same time.
As long as Xingxing slightly adapts the song, adds some strong instruments, and replaces the lyrics, it can be said to be original.
Ordinary people are easy to be fooled if they are not professional. Fans can close their eyes and brag if their minds are confused. What can Ji Zhiyi do, who is helpless and has no money? Litigation? Domestic copyright lawsuits are a game for the rich, and even if she is dragged into bankruptcy, she may not get an ideal result.
Zhang Fangfang said: "Fortunately, Ji Zhiyi is not stupid and still has a few songs in his hand. If she had not signed the friendship, all the hair on her body would have been shaved off by stars."
"Maybe there were only two songs when they were sold." Sister Tian looked sternly, "So aren't they numbered in order?"
Zhang Fangfang: "..."
The teacher next to her said, "Well, that means she has become more productive, which is a good thing. Why do musicians need so much care?"
Sister Tian pulled out the music score from the photo library and handed the tablet back to Zhang Chengfang: "Ignore these two songs for now. If it is what we think, maybe we can find a big fish. Go tell Ji Zhiyi, Explain it clearly and don’t let her misunderstand.”
Sister Tian sneered: "If the stars dare to take advantage of our artists, we will take off their pants."
The other two lowered their heads and said nothing. I felt the atmosphere was gloomy and a bit scary.
Sister Tian said: "Let Ji Zhiyi pull out the time evidence saved on the computer and take it for notarization. It will be ready for use when the time comes."
Zhang Fangfang became servile and said attentively: "Okay, Sister Tian!"
The next day Zhang Fangfang drove over to pick up Ji Zhiyi.
He glanced at Ji Zhiyi who opened the car door and sat in the back seat, and suddenly thought of saying: "Look at whether you want to buy a car. If you are not active, it will be inconvenient for you to get in and out by yourself. I will find an assistant for you again. This time Those who participate in variety shows are all big names and traffickers, so if you don’t have an assistant around you, you will be looked down upon.”
Ji Zhiyi responded obediently: "Oh."
Zhang Fangfang put on the handbrake, turned off the engine, pushed up his glasses and said, "Don't worry, let me tell you about your friend Tom."
Ji Zhiyi: "...his name is Tommy."
Zhang Fangfang said in his heart that the name of the little thief was none of his business: "Our opinion here is this. We are not sure what the two songs were used for, but they should be quite interesting. Just keep quiet for now. . We will wait for the other party to release the song, see the final similarity and signature, and then make a decision. The stage must be big enough so that we can perform well."
Ji Zhiyi thought so too.
Zhang Fangfang nodded: "Then during the variety show, you can reveal to the audience that you have two new songs that have been sold, but don't tell who they are sold to. Let's lay a mine first. When the time comes, Explode again.”
Ji Zhiyi then nodded.
Zhang Fangfang: "Also, if that Tom or Jerry comes to find you, you can pretend to be a little bit more like you don't know anything."
Ji Zhiyi said: "His name is Tommy."
Zhang Fangfang: "That's not important!"
They are all passers-by!
Seeing that she didn't refute, Zhang Fangfang seemed to have listened, and nodded with satisfaction. Xin said that although she was stupid, she was at least obedient. As a parent, you can rest assured.
He put down the handbrake and whispered: "The approval for our variety show has already been approved. You are the last artist to be finalized. We will start recording immediately. This is a weekly program, and the time is very tight. It should be finished after recording. After one or two episodes, it will be broadcast directly after editing. Then there is a confidentiality agreement, and all recorded content cannot be leaked. We will not know the specific program planning until it comes out on the day. Anyway, it is basically singing, and after singing, we will record a few individuals Just insert the interview. It’s your first time on TV, so don’t be nervous.”
It had been delayed for several days before the news of Ji Zhiyi's contract signing was officially announced.
Tommy was really confused after he found out. He called me to try and ask if he could sell his signature on the song.
Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines and over 100 sounds. It is also a source-changing tool that supports offline reading. huanyuanapp.org Source-changing App
Ji Zhiyi refused.
Tommy said it was a pity and said that if he could sign it for sale, he could sell it at a high price. If not, he would have to negotiate with the other party again.
Ji Zhiyi thoughtfully said there was no rush, she was no longer short of money.
Tommy was doubtful, and then the news gradually disappeared.
Ji Zhiyi was too busy during this period and had no time to talk to him.
Record songs, write songs, change lyrics... and cover songs and put them online to enrich the little boss's restaurant music library.
As an original singer, Zhang Fangfang wanted to train her to be more versatile so that she could brag when going out, so she was also allowed to participate more in the production process.
So she once again joined the army of staying up late.
Before you know it, the first episode of the variety show "This is the Singer" will officially start recording.
Zhang Fangfang attaches great importance to it. He arranged the artists on hand and followed Ji Zhiyi to the TV station to make preparations.
The two flew to other provinces a day in advance, and then waited for the show to drive to the TV station on the same day.
The production team handed them the revised script privately.
Zhang Fangfang had already done his homework yesterday and continued to reiterate it to Ji Zhiyi in the car.
"The program team invited a total of twelve people. Six of them are singers. You belong to this wave of singers. The other six are newcomers who have just released new songs recently or are about to release new songs. The company wants to praise them. Usually they shout below 666."
Zhang Fangfang explained: "The first episode was arranged like this. The program team cut out the top six from the sales list, and the six singers drew lots and each randomly selected a song."
Ji Zhiyi's songs are still on the list, but after the initial popularity has passed, the ranking is not stable and there is a hint of retreat. The company replaced the newly recorded version two days ago, and sales have increased again. I wonder if it will be added to the playlist in the end.
"When you finish singing, the audience will vote on the three songs they most want to hear again, and let the six newcomers sing in pairs. This is mainly for comparison." Zhang Fangfang said with a smile, "The highlight of this show is not the competitive ranking. , mainly crushing. The program team said that they would not modify the sound, and even if they did, they would only modify it a little bit. I don’t know what it will be like in the later stage. But the effect should be obvious."
Ji Zhiyi nodded.
She knew this process, but she wasn't sure if the newcomers knew it.
It was indeed true singing at the scene, and it was true that there was no need to modify the notes. This caused the comparison between the two groups to be too brutal during the later broadcast. This group of newcomers were ridiculed by the entire network and even ignored their mothers.
Fans of idols are generally very domineering and almost unruly on the Internet. If they are fucked like this, they can't stand the stimulation and almost go crazy. Every day, he was howling online that he was going to blow up the TV station, saying that the program team had framed their idol, and that the chief director and program planner must come out to apologize.
The two newcomers were deeply hit. After their reputation plummeted, they secretly discussed conspiracy theories about the show, and then quit overnight. The other four persevered, and their attitude was quite modest. Later, they studied hard with their seniors and made a lot of progress visible to the naked eye. The program team also had a conscience, and they slightly modified it in the later stage to help them promote the character of "He works really hard!", which attracted a wave of fans.
"There will definitely be no problem for you on set. There is not much difference between correcting the sound and not correcting the sound." Zhang Fangfang said, "Even if there is a problem, there are several teachers who are our own, and they will help you. Anyway, this show, You are the object of our affection."
The technical requirements at the scene will be higher. Whether it is breathing or voice control, it will become very obvious in the microphone. If it's slightly out of tune, it's like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
Tuning can make up for these shortcomings, but it also leads to two extremes in on-site evaluation and post-broadcast evaluation, which is very unfair to talented singers. Some programs rely on this method to support newcomers.
Ji Zhiyi said: "Please let me know."
Zhang Fangfang handed over the list: "The singer has basically remained the same, but the new one has been temporarily changed."
Ji Zhiyi glanced at the familiar name on the list, his pupils narrowed and his fingers tightened unnaturally.
The little flower who stole her songs, Fan Qing.
Ji Zhiyi asked: "Why are there people from Hexingxing? Isn't this a show about friendship and investment?"
"They help with the trial, so they put someone in. As for how to edit it in the later stage, it's not them who has the final say." Zhang Fangfang asked, "Do you know her?"
Ji Zhiyi: "I've heard of it."
Zhang Fangfang: "This person has been doing well recently, but she doesn't have any national credentials yet. Don't worry about her, she's an amateur in singing. I hope she prays and doesn't end up being assigned a difficult song."
Ji Zhiyi handed the things back.
Zhang Fangfang glanced at his watch and said, "It's time. Get ready to take the entrance shot. Are you ready?"
Ji Zhiyi nodded.
Recording the show is very tiring. There was a problem with the timing of the first episode. The show had been waiting since early in the morning for rehearsals and official performances. By the time it was announced that it was over, it was already evening.
After all, this was Ji Zhiyi's first time on a large-scale program. Although he had honed his skills of keeping a straight face under the siege of various paparazzi and cameras in his previous life, he still couldn't help but feel nervous when he looked at the audience who were waiting seriously.
Zhang Fangfang also took her to chat with several teachers, and after that, he invited the program staff to dinner. It was already the second night when we returned to City A.
After recording this variety show, Zhang Fangfang found her a list to sing the theme song of an online game. It just so happened that a singer with whom I had a close relationship was holding a concert recently, and he asked her to be a guest at the event, forcing her to show off her face.
After running to several places in a few days, not only Ji Zhiyi but also Zhang Fangfang was exhausted.
Ji Zhiyi felt the newcomers' need for facial recognition and Zhang Fangfang's desire for promotion. After working hard, I finally had two days of free time.
Shortly afterwards, Zhang Fangfang informed her that "This is the Singer" was about to premiere.
Because the program team was really poor, it was not able to get the prime time slot on satellite TV on weekends, so the program was scheduled for Thursday night.
Zhang Fangfang still attaches great importance to this matter. When this new type of program is released, he must first look at the feedback of the first episode and personal fan attraction to formulate subsequent marketing strategies.
He was actually a little worried, or pessimistic. In terms of qualifications, Ji Zhiyi is even newer than the rookie group, but she was placed in the singer group. This kind of extra high-level treatment will probably be criticized by fans of those idols.
Although strength is king, she is not afraid of being hacked, but Zhang Fangfang is afraid that she is a newcomer and her little heart can't bear it for a while, which will affect her later state. So I want to watch the show with her.
After answering the phone, I found that there was a lot of noise on the other side, and Ji Zhiyi's voice was far away.
Zhang Fangfang asked: "Where are you? Don't you want to watch the show when it starts airing today? Are you in a bar? Don't smoke or drink, dear!"
"I'm in the restaurant downstairs in my house." Ji Zhiyi covered his ears and said, "I'm watching the show with everyone! They're all grabbing free late-night snacks now, they're going crazy! I'll hang up first!"
