The two of them only walked for one kilometer. According to Cheng Yaoyao's pace, it would take more than half an hour, so there was still a need for a topic. Yang Jingxing took the initiative: "We haven't talked about business for a long time. I'd like to ask you a question. Don't you think so?

care."

Cheng Yaoyao stopped and said frankly: "Ask, there is so much nonsense."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Actually, I felt some things during the production of this album, but I can't ignore it without delaying the project schedule. It's more appropriate now. Until now, have you ever felt your bottleneck, or boredom?

Have you summarized yourself from a purely musical perspective, or what are your expectations?”

Cheng Yaoyao looked at Yang Jingxing and smiled: "Is this a question?"

Yang Jingxing said harshly: "One big problem, several small problems."

Cheng Yaoyao nodded and walked slowly again: "I know what you mean, this industry is also about retreating if you don't advance... What, you want to write a song for me?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head with self-awareness: "If you have a problem, it can't be solved by one or two songs."

Cheng Yaoyao smiled, looking at the night scene around her, she seemed to have no clue: "I don't know, I don't know how to put it...it feels quite complicated."

Yang Jingxing said it easily: "The experience is that when encountering complex problems, first try to simplify them as much as possible."

Cheng Yaoyao seemed to think about it for a moment, but she just sighed.

Yang Jingxing tried: "Let's start from the closer. When we were recording earlier..."

Cheng Yaoyao looked at Yang Jingxing and took the initiative: "I have a new feeling recently...for example, after singing "Reluctantly", I came down to change clothes and do some modeling. They were like fighting on me. Listening to the voices of the fans in front, I suddenly felt

"Well, it's a feeling that's hard to explain, so empty, so fake, like a dream, so far away..." She frowned deeply, it was really hard to explain.

Yang Jingxing brought it upon himself, so he could only nod: "Hmm...has this happened before?"

Cheng Yaoyao shook her head first, and then nodded: "Maybe it happened, but it wasn't this strong. I thought it was because I was too tired."

Yang Jingxing said: "There is also this reason."

"No." Cheng Yaoyao thought carefully: "I just feel like I'm fake, as if I might disappear at any time... Have you ever felt like this?"

Yang Jingxing laughed: "This is a philosophical question, I don't understand it."

Cheng Yaoyao didn't seem to have much hope, so she put it more clearly: "I'm a little scared if I get depressed too."

"How is that possible?" Yang Jingxing sneered: "Isn't it good to think about something serious? It's unfounded."

Cheng Yaoyao laughed.

Yang Jingxing revealed: "Before, you eagerly watched me eat meat. You swallowed so much saliva that you almost lost control of yourself. This fully illustrates..."

Cheng Yaoyao protested: "How can I? I just want to see how you can eat so well."

Yang Jingxing said more seriously: "Actually, most people have the kind of emotional illusion you mentioned, but few people have the conditions and opportunity to experience it..."

The two slowly chatted about business. As a singer and producer, under the guidance of Yang Jingxing, Cheng Yaoyao, who could not create and seemed not very capable, was not ashamed to admit that she actually had a musical ideal, and this ideal also followed her career.

Careers are constantly evolving and changing.

Are you tired of the current situation? Cheng Yaoyao feels that we cannot simply say yes or no. The new album still has her enthusiasm and things that excite her. She is still willing to hold concerts, but she is not all complacent, and some feel that she can do it.

Not good enough, not very satisfied with myself.

Cheng Yaoyao knew that she would not be able to enjoy her youth for a few more years. This had nothing to do with money, but people going to higher places. When being teased and ridiculed by others openly and secretly, the little queen didn't want to give someone a try, such as it was very common back then.

Questioning why she is on the same stage as "Shengyang Weiliang".

Cheng Yaoyao seemed to be really honest: "...Actually, the same goes for you. You followed Tong Yichun so many times, what about me?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "That's not the reason."

Cheng Yaoyao didn't believe it but still needed to explain: "What is that?"

Yang Jingxing said: "On the one hand, I was inexperienced at the time, and her experience was much less than yours. Also, there were my classmates in the team at the time, so I wasn't worried at first."

Cheng Yaoyao seemed to be pursuing the case: "Where are the guzheng and ocarina that were recorded for me? Why not let them..."

Yang Jingxing said: "You have too many shows, mainly because they are busy now."

Cheng Yaoyao was a little angry: "You have a reason anyway!"

"It's true." Yang Jingxing seemed to be sincere: "I feel more and more that you still have a lot of room, and your efforts are no less than others, so I take the opportunity to communicate with you today."

Cheng Yaoyao smiled and tilted her lips in disdain: "Real or fake? What kind of space?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Of course, my artistic achievements as a singer have reached a higher level."

Cheng Yaoyao was a little provocative: "You're going to do it as you say?"

Yang Jingxing: "It's not that simple, but I have confidence in you."

"You producers..." Cheng Yaoyao was very distrustful: "You say that to everyone."

Yang Jingxing said directly: "I think it is certain that you will renew the contract, it depends on the form. Hongxing treats me well, and it is also my responsibility, so I sincerely apply to continue to cooperate with you and cooperate well."

Cheng Yaoyao looked at Yang Jingxing, half-smiling but playing with fire: "Who said I want to renew my contract?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Are you in contact with anyone?"

"That's a lot." Cheng Yaoyao said proudly, "We've been talking about it for a long time."

Yang Jingxing asked: "Real or false?"

Cheng Yaoyao looked at her carefully and asked, "Does it mean we won't cooperate if I'm not in Hongxing?"

Yang Jing’s behavior was difficult: “I don’t know, it depends on the situation.”

Cheng Yaoyao understood: "There is no sincerity at all."

Yang Jingxing felt aggrieved: "I am very sincere, but you gave me such a big surprise."

Cheng Yaoyao laughed and asked, "Do you want me to renew my contract?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Of course I do. Everyone wants it. Who doesn't want to get more year-end bonuses?"

Cheng Yaoyao asked: "Is it because of you?"

Yang Jingxing: "Of course, money is not the most important, there is also music and friendship."

Speaking of friendship, Cheng Yaoyao asked Yang Jingxing what he thought of what happened last year. Over in Taiwan, a famous singer who was like a good old man sued his old club with whom he had collaborated for 20 years. In Cheng Yaoyao's view, this was also a sign that the singer was desperate.

Forced to be helpless, only the artist himself knows the hardships of the artist. Who doesn't want to make his family's life better...

Yang Jingxing was in a dilemma: "I really can't answer this question. I'm a part-time worker myself, but I've also started to be a boss... I don't think there's anything right or wrong. It's good for both parties to try to strike a balance, which is acceptable to both parties."

Cheng Yaoyao obviously felt that Yang Jingxing was too naive: "I'll tell you something after I get in the car."

Yang Jingxing asked: "Has the boss talked to you?"

"Not yet." Cheng Yaoyao nodded, but she didn't seem to be in a hurry: "Of course I won't mention it."

Cheng Yaoyao seemed to want to tell her story and quickened her pace. Before getting in the car, she couldn't help but reveal secrets to Yang Jingxing. The first was the details of her contract. There were only a few people in Hongxing who knew this.

The contract is quite complicated, but to put it simply, Cheng Yaoyao can only get 30% of her remuneration for commercial performances and endorsements, and this is the ratio that was revised based on the original contract three years ago, otherwise it would be even less. Cheng Yaoyao

I don’t know if it’s hearsay or I’ve actually learned that someone who is obviously not as popular and worth as her has a higher income and more vacations than her.

Cheng Yaoyao also knew that the share ratio between Android and the company was almost half, but Android basically did not endorse and had fewer commercial performances than herself, and Du Lin was considerate in all aspects...

Cheng Yaoyao wanted to verify with Yang Jingxing: "That Porsche was given to him by Sister Lin, right?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, but I heard it is."

Cheng Yaoyao didn't allow Yang Jingxing to drive. She had something else to say, and it was something she cared about. When her family bought the house, because she thought it would be better to pay the full price, she wanted to borrow or advance a mere two million from the company, but was rejected.

Zhang Yanhao refused, although the refusal sounded very flattering.

Cheng Yaoyao had a lot of hardships. One time she went to acupuncture point. She was so far away that there was no private car. She and a few so-called singers and celebrities who had passed their time or who had just appeared out of nowhere were bumpy in a minibus for four hours, and then lived there.

It was a small hotel that didn't even have basic safety guarantees. It was really torture... Cheng Yaoyao reported it to Zhang Yanhao at the time, hoping that the company would pay more attention to it, but the matter was ignored and several departments did not even apologize.

When Studio 402 was not established, Cheng Yaoyao was also full of ideals to reach a higher level, but the producers, lyrics and composers she wanted to invite, the recording studio she wanted to invite, the stage design team she wanted to hire... too much

Too much has not been realized for many reasons, but in the final analysis, she is reluctant to give up money. Of course Cheng Yaoyao has calculated that what she earns for the company is more than enough.

Cheng Yaoyao is not holding a grudge or being unreasonable, but slowly and gradually understands more and more that the so-called friendship only exists when you are valuable, and only when you are valuable can there be room for negotiation of conditions. More importantly,

What's more, if you don't have to worry about these issues that you shouldn't worry about, artists can focus more on their creations.

Cheng Yaoyao settled the accounts with Yang Jingxing. If there was a reasonable share ratio, she would have the courage to reduce her acupuncture performances by half, which would give her more time for album production and concert rehearsals. Of course, the quality would be more guaranteed. Yang Jingxing also saw it with his own eyes.

I wonder how difficult and intense it was to record this album. It took a day and a half or even a few hours at a time, intermittently. How could I do a good job?

"So you must have your own team." Cheng Yaoyao yearned for it: "I can trust it, so I don't have to worry about everything."

Yang Jingxing felt: "It is not easy to set up in a short time."

Cheng Yaoyao said: "I am willing to hire someone with a high salary, professional, and regular cooperation...Chu Xiaotong has been with me for six years, I have never had a boyfriend, and she is careful in her work. I want her to be in charge of the studio. What do you think?"

?”

Yang Jingxing nodded: "No problem, I can do the job."

Cheng Yaoyao was a little angry: "The main thing is to let her speak effectively, otherwise just anyone can go against her behind my back! You have succeeded in this. Secretary Pang's words are effective now, and everything can be arranged."

Yang Jingxing said: "She has the ability...it seems you have planned everything."

Cheng Yaoyao didn't seem very confident: "I think so... I want your support."
