After Xia Chu signed the contract, Firefly's people had already urged her to come to the company to record songs.
When Xia Chu and Xia Miao arrived at each other's company, they suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"Miss Xia Chu, it cost us a lot to invite you out."
When Ji Bo heard that Xia Chu had arrived, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Faced with such a scene of being personally greeted by a general manager, Xia Chu shook hands with the other person in a dignified manner, and then asked a question that had always puzzled him.
"There should be many singers like me on the market. Why does Manager Ji want to sing with me if he is willing to spend five million?"
This is something that Xia Chu has always wondered about. As a woman, and a beautiful woman, she understands that her temptation to men is fatal, and she is afraid that she will enter a wolf's den.
Although her company suppressed her and her boss now began to hate her, at least it was safe there, but that was not necessarily the case in other people's companies.
"Don't think too much. You are indeed a suitable candidate for the theme song of this movie. We invested 80 million in the film investment. Spending 5 million to buy a theme song is a bit expensive, but who makes the film director be a Virgo?
Yeah. Come with me first, and I’ll show you the demo of the song.”
Ji Bo dispelled Xia Chu's suspicion very casually. When Xia Chu actually came to the recording studio and saw the recording engineer, various staff, and even the vocal teacher waiting for her, it seemed that there was nothing to doubt.
.
"This is a demo, listen to it."
Putting on the headphones, a beautiful melody and familiar voices suddenly appeared in Xia Chu's ears.
She is a professional singer and knows whether a song is good or bad. She can tell it from the demo. This is a very mature commercial song with very good quality. Anyway, she likes it very much, and all professionals should like it.
But no one knows whether the song will be a hit.
Recently, a lot of songs have become popular on short video platforms, and many people don’t know that those songs existed a few years ago, or even more than ten years ago. They were popular back then and are now popular, and many of them were not popular back then.
, which disappeared after being published, is now becoming popular.
Therefore, the market is always a strange place. Good things may not necessarily be popular, but the ones that are popular must have their advantages.
Whether it is good or bad can be seen, and whether it is popular or not has a certain proportion of luck.
Not to mention that the song itself is excellent, if Xia Chu gave up this job, she would probably not have a job within a year.
Ji Bo smiled and asked: "Miss Xia Chu, what do you think of this song?"
"Okay, very good. It's just that the voice of the guy who sang the demo made me feel a little sick."
Everyone was stunned, not understanding what this sentence meant.
Xia Miao put on the headphones strangely. Just listening to the first sentence, she understood why Xia Chu said this.
The voice of the one who sang the demo sounded too much like Chu Han's.
Fortunately, the poor sound quality recorded by the mobile phone made it impossible for Xia Chu to be sure that it was Chu Han. Moreover, during the two years she lived with Chu Han, she had never seen Chu Han sing, so she could never believe that Chu Han sang.
The one in the demo is Chu Han.
Although Ji Bo and others didn't know why Xia Chu said this, they didn't care, as long as Xia Chu came.
The next step is to practice the song. Ji Bo has already prepared the accompaniment, and Ji Bo himself is the vocal teacher, teaching Xia Chu sentence by sentence how to sing the whole song.
Generally, it takes about ten days and a half to record a song. There are stages from hearing it for the first time, to singing it skillfully, to singing it skillfully in the studio.
Unless you are a singer-songwriter, and the song the singer sings is written by himself, then the proficiency of the song will definitely be different, and it can be done in as fast as two or three days.
But Xia Chu was just singing the original song, so ten days and a half month was fast for her.
On the first day, Xia Chu had been familiar with this song, and Ji Bo didn't rush her.
Uncle Ji had heard Xia Chu sing, so he knew what Chu Han said was right. According to the original tune, this song must belong to Xia Chu.
Xia Chu is also very serious and dedicated. She worked for nearly ten hours today. Since she is already familiar with the song, she sang a demo by herself and planned to take it home and listen to it slowly.
"See Manager Ji tomorrow." Xia Chu greeted Uncle Ji.
When the two sisters got into their car, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Anyway, I finally have a job." Xia Miao started the car and said with emotion.
"Don't you think it's strange?" Xia Chu asked.
Obviously, this job is no different from pie-in-the-sky, but pie-in-the-sky doesn't fall into traps, and Xia Chu will habitually doubt it whenever he encounters something obviously good.
The nature of this society is cannibalism. Everyone will try their best to get something from each other, especially those who run companies. It is impossible for them to give you something without asking for it from you. Charity companies will ask for it. How could they not?
Will you ask for it?
Both of them are adults, they are not naive and just entered society.
Hearing what Xia Chu said, Xia Miao also began to become suspicious.
"The contract is in the truck, take a look," Xia Miao said.
The contract signed by Ji Bo and Liu Chong was a VIP contract, and that contract was worth five million. The contract signed by Ji Bo and Xia Chu was a simple original singing contract. They wrote lyrics and music, and asked Xia Chu to sing the original song.
This type of contract is very common as every original singer has seen it.
But the question now is whether there are any pitfalls in this contract that they have not paid attention to before.
Although it is the agent's job to read the contract, it does not mean that the artist will not read it.
After all, Xia Chu has been in the industry for five years. For Xia Chu, it is no problem to read the contract.
When she carefully turned the contract in front of her from the first page to the last page, and then back again, she read it item by item. After flipping through it for three or four rounds, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nothing has been added."
The terms are just an ordinary original singing sharing contract."
"No way?" Xia Miao also felt incredible.
This is almost impossible to happen in today's society.
Maybe the theme song sung by Xia Chu will add a lot to the movie, but to be honest, she doesn't have much box office appeal, and it's even less likely that she will increase the box office just because of an excellent theme song. Buying her for five million is obviously
A sure-fire deal.
But no matter what, the contract is in their hands. No matter how you look at it, you can't see any traps. In this case, let's take it as it comes. Xia Chu plans to accept it all.
Xia Chu didn't know that all this happened because of a bad man who planned to buy a computer with 30,000 yuan.
