On the weekend, Liu Ruyan proposed to invite Chen Mingluo to dinner.

"Hehe, I've been waiting for this meal for a long time." Chen Mingluo said half-jokingly.

"I'm so embarrassed. I've been too busy recently-" Liu Ruyan also seemed a little embarrassed when she mentioned this.

After all, she was famous for singing the song written by Chen Mingluo, and now she is in the limelight, but it took so long to thank her. It seems unreasonable wherever she puts this matter, and even said that she would be blamed.

However, Chen Mingluo is more able to understand the people in the entertainment industry, after all, everyone lives a little uncontrollably.

The night view of Yangshuo is still very good. The mountains and rivers are naturally hard to see clearly, but the dazzling lights are connected into pieces. The tall buildings are like the command tower of an interstellar warship, making people feel a little vague.

The weather was getting hotter. When I saw Liu Ruyan again, I saw a woman in her thirties following her and carrying her bags for her. She seemed to be an assistant.

"Where's here--" Chen Mingluo waved at them.

Liu Ruyan is still dressed in big sunglasses and tennis caps, and her clothes are also relatively loose T-shirts. The color is slightly exerted and looks a little dim under the lights at night, but it has a different style.

"You have been tired and have been waiting for a long time. I just said a few more words to someone. I'm really embarrassed." After Liu Ruyan sat down, she apologized first, and then introduced her assistant to Chen Mingluo. "This is my assistant Murong. She used to be a drifting Beijing. Now she helps me manage daily affairs, just like my sister."

Liu Ruyan's assistant Murong greeted Chen Mingluo and looked at the young man curiously. According to Liu Ruyan, this was a friend at school, but Murong had never seen him before, so he naturally didn't know what Chen Mingluo's identity looked like. He just felt that Liu Ruyan attached great importance to him and did not look like a boyfriend and girlfriend.

As an assistant, Murong is very concerned about Liu Ruyan's affairs, so he naturally knows how Liu Ruyan's current market is. If his lover is discovered by media reporters because of a private meeting, it may have a very negative impact.

Although paparazzi are not very rampant in cities like Yangshuo, there is always no shortage of news wherever there are people and where there are artists. Even if a key photo is taken by an unknown passerby, it will have a very negative impact on the artist's acting career.

In other words, in the current situation of Liu Ruyan, the most suitable role to play is a mature woman who is a little more emotional but not random. After all, her singing style determines her external image, and she cannot be the kind of innocent girl who is stupid and knows nothing.

Liu Ruyan took off her sunglasses and said to Chen Mingluo with a smile, "This time I came to Yangshuo secretly. If the media reporters find out, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble again."

In fact, it is not so easy for people like them to completely conceal their whereabouts, especially when taking a plane, they are easily revealed by people. For example, this time, when they fly from Beijing to Yangshuo, they were recognized by the flight attendants, and they all looked for her to sign during work.

"How does it feel to become famous?" Chen Mingluo ordered the dishes, then asked Liu Ruyan with a smile while siping the freshly squeezed juice.

"I feel so exhausted in just one sentence-" Liu Ruyan said to Chen Mingluo as if she was a little coquettish, "I have hardly had a good sleep in the past six months."

"That's right. Although you are tired, you are very profitable. In comparison, many people are even more tired but they are so tired that they have no gains." Chen Mingluo replied.

Liu Ruyan's assistant Murong agreed with Chen Mingluo's words, "That's true. When I was drifting in Beijing before, it was so miserable."

When Chen Mingluo asked, he realized that Murong and Liu Ruyan were not very similar. She was not a professional professional, but she also had a dream of music and started working as a Beijing drifter.

Speaking of his experience, Murong admitted that at first he also wanted to become famous overnight, and this was easily exploited by some agents.

"At that time, I thought of it very simple. I thought of going to the capital, first sing in the passage, then being seen by the bar, singing in the bar, then being noticed by the record company, signing a contract, releasing an album, becoming famous overnight, and becoming a singer." Murong was only in her early twenties at that time, and always felt that there was only a line between dreams and reality.

She carried the guitar on her back and finally found a place outside Chaoyang Gate, rented a basement nearby, and sang in this underground passage outside Chaoyang Gate every day.

"Basically, we start at 1:00 in the afternoon and finish work until four or five o'clock. Because of our own original songs and a unique voice, we gradually began to have a fixed audience." Murong said, "Slowly, we have gained some fame and received some bar resident jobs."

However, things changed a little at this time. One day, someone who claimed to be an agent found her and expressed her desire to help her become a singer.

"I must have been moved at that time," Murong said, but soon she found that the agent planned a path to fame was a bit outrageous. "They didn't care about their works at all. They just wanted to package and hype me up and make money, give me the entire identity, migrant singers, hard-working artists, etc.."

Murong stubbornly rejected this packaging and continued to sing in her underground passage.

After that, several agents came to him one after another, but the techniques of several people were very close. After trying a few, Murong no longer had any extravagance.

"At that time, I could earn more than 100 yuan a day, and I felt that the money I earned was enough to support myself. If I followed the hype techniques of those agents, I would naturally become famous quickly and earn more money." Murong said, "But my ideal life is to focus on music, not fame and fortune, and once I have the taste of money. What others want to pursue through singing, I understand everything they want to pursue, whether for money or for fame, everyone has the right to pursue their ideal life. But I don't want to see those artists who are as simple as myself, being used as tools for making money."

Although Murong is not very famous in the circle, she is familiar with this circle and has seen many characters of all kinds. After meeting Liu Ruyan, she was deeply moved by her voice, so she felt that she could do something for her, so she became her assistant.

Liu Ruyan really needed a more experienced assistant at that time, so the two of them got together.

"When talking about this, Ruyan, have you found a suitable agent?" Chen Mingluo suddenly asked.

When Liu Ruyan mentioned this, she felt a little headache. "Although she found someone who was introduced by her tutor, he was just a little informed about the matter in the circle and caused some minor troubles. It was indeed not easy to find a satisfactory agent."

To put it bluntly, things like pimping are similar to those who are pimping. They look for opportunities in the circle all day long, create various opportunities for their singers and artists, or contact commercial performances to discuss appearance fees, although it is very important, but accidents often happen.

In the past, some artists' agents had acted in tax evasion and evasion, but after the incident was revealed, the artists themselves took the blame. So on this issue, Liu Ruyan also seemed more cautious. The current agent asked him to be responsible for the contacts of some commercial performances, and he made his own decisions about major issues.

"If it doesn't work, just invite an experienced employee from Hong Kong." Chen Mingluo suddenly suggested.

"Is it OK? Will the price be very high?" Although Liu Ruyan was quite moved, she couldn't figure out what the market was like, so she was still unable to make up her mind for a while.

"I have no experience in this, but it's not very troublesome to ask someone for it." Chen Mingluo replied.

He has an extraordinary relationship with the people in the 17th Bureau of Guoan. He is also the God of Wealth in the eyes of a fat man. If you want to inquire about this kind of thing, you naturally need to call back and do it. It is not difficult.

Sure enough, Chen Mingluo called and within ten minutes, there was an echo there.

"There are many such people, and their average salary is about 500,000 yuan a year, and in China, about 200,000 yuan." Chen Mingluo said to Liu Ruyan.

"It's still acceptable for 500,000, but people must be reliable." Liu Ruyan was a little moved.

"There is definitely no problem with safety." Chen Mingluo said confidently.

Naturally, how could the staff members from Guoan contact us be unreliable?

However, Chen Mingluo considered Liu Ruyan's current situation and it was not possible to have a few bodyguards, so he asked and asked her and asked her two bodyguards. The price was not expensive, and her monthly salary was only 10,000 yuan. It was naturally no problem to care about food, accommodation, etc.

Nowadays, the first-line singers have high returns and the competition is not fierce. It can be said that they are rich and the amount of money is enough. Spending more than one million yuan in this area a year is not a very painful thing.

Now, Liu Ruyan's commercial performance has been around 500,000, so there is no shortage of this amount of money.

Chen Mingluo roughly calculated that in less than a year, Liu Ruyan had earned tens of millions of commercial performance income, which was indeed a good way to make money.

While the three of them were talking, the dishes were served.

The steak is very cooked. Most people can't eat this thing too tender. The 70% cooked ones are all bloody. In addition to those foreigners who eat raw meat and drink blood, there are also some people who are born to like eating raw meat. There are not many people in China who can bear it. Of course, Chen Mingluo could not let the two girls eat that bloody thing.

Some other dishes are not large in quantity, but they are very exquisitely cooked. This restaurant has also put some effort into establishing a foothold in Yangshuo.

Murong looked at the dishes on the table and felt that the young man ordered a bit of a good order, but the food on the table was expensive, and the cash he brought with him was probably going to shrink greatly.

However, Murong also felt that Liu Ruyan was indeed a little capable, and he implemented some things during the conversation, which shows that his background is not that simple. Otherwise, how could he be able to handle the matter in Hong Kong so quickly?

Liu Ruyan talked about the school affairs with Chen Mingluo, and said with emotion, "Now I don't even have time to attend school classes, and I don't know if this is good or bad?"

Chen Mingluo immediately smiled and said, "It's better not to take it. In fact, you are the same wherever you learn the courses. Since you have become famous now, you don't need those things. After all, singers who take the commercial performance path are different from singers who need to participate in the Grand Prix to become famous."

If Liu Ruyan hadn't suddenly become famous, then if she wanted to go to school step by step, then look for opportunities to participate in domestic heavyweight events such as the Youth Song Competition, see if there are any opportunities to be admired by a few domestic limited masters, and then take it into the door and wall for training.

If you have this luck, it means that you have already walked halfway through the road to success, and it is only a matter of time before you become famous.

But everyone knows that this path is also the most difficult to walk. Not to mention the fierce competition, there are more unspoken rules within the industry. It is difficult to qualify for the preliminary round, let alone reach the finals and get a good ranking.

From the results of the Youth Song Competition over the years, we can also see some clues. Although the overall strength of the winner in the end is relatively strong, it is difficult to evaluate the rankings. After all, the favor points here are also very powerful. If there is no strong teacher as a backing, it is really not easy to make a name for yourself.

But now that Liu Ruyan is already famous, she naturally no longer needs to walk on that single-plank bridge. What she has to do now is to make a lot of money through continuous commercial performances and maintain her position in the industry.

It is not that easy to do this. After all, newcomers are constantly emerging in the entertainment industry. Sooner or later, they will compete with these seniors for food. As peers, everyone is actually enemies.

"If you want to continue working in this circle, you must not ignore team building." In response to this, Chen Mingluo also gave Liu Ruyan some suggestions.

In Chen Mingluo's eyes, Liu Ruyan's team can only be said to be a grass-roots team now, and there is no professional talent to tailor her long-term plan that is most suitable for her development. Whether in terms of work selection, style direction or commercial performance operations, Liu Ruyan is very short of it now, which is very unfavorable for her development.

"The grass-roots team is undesirable. This can easily cause obstacles to your future development or even worse impacts." Chen Mingluo said to Liu Ruyan.

"I hope this situation will get better slowly-" Liu Ruyan is also very looking forward to this.
