If it were another newcomer who had just debuted, saying such words would probably make people laugh out loud.
But Lu Chen is really different.
Filia Chen's appreciation for Lu Chen has been fully reflected in the "Singing China" competition. She has given Lu Chen full marks as many as 5 times, surpassing Tan Hong who likes to support newcomers.
In some online entertainment channels, small news such as "Filia Chen likes fresh meat" even appeared.
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 shocked on the spot, but the three of them didn't have much suspicion.
Lu Chen's creative talent is obvious to all, and it cannot be praised by anyone!
It's not unbelievable that Filia Chen asked him to sing.
Wen Zhiyuan reacted and beamed with joy: "It turns out that it was Teacher Lu Chen who wrote the song for Chen Tianhou."
"Don't think about it."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Chen: "I won't admit it."
Lu Chen understood Wen Zhiyuan's thoughts. This was undoubtedly an excellent publicity stunt for a new singer.
But first, Lu Chen had to cooperate. If Lu Chen didn't admit it, then even if EMI fired him hard, the results would not be great, and I'm afraid he and Filia Chen would be offended, and the gain would not be worth the loss.
Wen Zhiyuan never expected that Lu Chen was so shrewd and could see through his inner thoughts at a glance.
His smile inevitably turned sly.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you use my name to hype me up, don't involve Teacher Filia Chen."
Even if he didn't mention it just now, he is still a little worried about involving Filia Chen. You must know that many entertainment agencies, in order to promote hype, will make things far-fetched, not to mention that they are really related.
Therefore, Lu Chen gave Wen Zhiyuan a gentle blow to prevent him from having unrealistic ideas.
He is willing to sell his works to EMI, and he doesn't mind if the other party uses his name for publicity, but he cannot involve a third party, otherwise everyone will break up!
How could any other newcomer have the qualifications to speak like this? But when Lu Chen said it, Wen Zhiyuan was really convinced.
He was even grateful.
The work Lu Chen took out was originally prepared for the Queen of Heaven!
"well!"
Wen Zhiyuan said hurriedly: "Teacher Lu Chen, don't worry, we are sensible. Then I will prepare the contract first, and I will wait for you in the company the day after tomorrow!"
Lu Chen took the initiative to reach out to him: "Then we will have a happy cooperation!"
Wen Zhiyuan laughed: "Happy cooperation!"
He held Lu Chen's hand firmly, feeling very happy in his heart.
The director of EMI's brokerage department has secretly made up his mind to apply for funds to buy songs.
Originally, two days was not enough. The company's process was not that fast at all, but if he used his connections to handle special matters, Wen Zhiyuan was quite sure. After all, the money was not very large.
If it doesn't work, the worst he can do is pay for it out of his own pocket!
In order to suppress Zhang Qiong's arrogance, Wen Zhiyuan also risked his life.
…
After declining Wen Zhiyuan and others' warm invitation to have lunch, Lu Chen returned to his studio.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, he will be interviewed by a special reporter from Feixun Music here.
While participating in the "Singing China" competition and after the finals, Lu Chen received several interviews. There were group interviews and individual interviews.
But it was the first time for me to have such a formal interview by special invitation.
Although the other party is not a reporter from a well-known newspaper or TV station, Feixun Music is the largest and most powerful among all music websites. Being able to get a special interview from them is something worthy of celebration for any newcomer.
You even need to spend money on public relations.
The main reason why Lu Chen got this opportunity was that several of his works were very popular on Feixun Music.
Feixun Music is an important partner of "Singing China" organized by Beijing Satellite TV. The live versions of all contestants' songs will be put on it for netizens to watch for free.
Although all of Lu Chen's works are original works, they are no exception.
And his works have repeatedly hit the homepage hit list of Feixun Music.
So far, the live version of the three original works "Chasing Dreams", "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and "My Deskmate" have exceeded 100 million views, among which "Chasing Dreams" has been viewed for 7 consecutive days.
It occupied the top spot until it was knocked out by "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".
As for other films such as "Fly Higher", "Young Jinshi", "Those Flowers", etc., they all performed well.
Lu Chen's songs even dominated the charts for a while.
This situation was 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 of many website partners that are charting, promoting and selling. Those people who spend money have objections. Our money cannot be thrown into the water!
Such unspoken rules are no secret in the industry, especially in the entertainment channels of portal websites. If you want to show your face and get the headlines, unless you are a real celebrity, you can'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, with hundreds of millions of registered users, its most important way to make money is in addition to sales sharing, the most important thing is advertising and ranking revenue.
Therefore, it is normal for Lu Chen's songs to be suppressed because they have touched the interests of the sponsors.
However, Lu Chen himself doesn't care. After all, the promotional purpose of the work has been achieved, and he will also cooperate with Feixun Music to sell the online version of his first album.
By that time, as long as the performance is outstanding, Feixun Music will naturally praise it, and there will be no problem in praising 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 always paid 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 a work report to Lu Chen, which required him to make his own decision.
"I've already talked with the clothing company that recently asked you to endorse your advertising."
"It's up to you to decide whether to cooperate or not!"
This is the benefit of becoming famous. Sitting at home, people eagerly bring money to your door.
Lu Chen couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He quickly asked: "What kind of clothing are you endorsing and how much does it cost?"
Thinking about his first commercial, he was a little excited.
Lu Xi smiled slightly and said: "It's considered clothing, men's underwear. The annual endorsement fee is one hundred thousand!"
Men's underwear?
Lu Chen was immediately shocked. He originally thought it was a suit or trousers, but the result was so unexpected.
Of course, everyone has to wear underwear, but when he thought about being photographed wearing only a pair of underwear and being photographed as an advertising album or magazine insert, Lu Chen felt that the picture was so beautiful.
He couldn't help but shiver, and all the hairs on his body stood up: "Forget it, just say no for me."
It's not that Lu Chen doesn't want to make money, but the amount of money he makes is unacceptable to him.
The key is that the money is too little and it's not worth "selling his body". 100,000 is less than the price of 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, and I have answered them for you."
Announcements in the entertainment industry refer to artists participating in various programs and public activities. For example, autograph sessions, talk shows, promotional meetings, endorsement activities, press conferences, etc., at a specific time according to the intentions of the entertainment company or brokerage company.
Increase your own exposure within the segment.
Most of the announcements come with an announcement fee. The price depends on the status in the circle, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. There are also a small number of free announcements for pure promotion. Generally speaking, they belong to a new artist.
only way.
There are even announcement artists who specialize in announcements.
It just informs that the artist's status in the industry is very low, he is a has-been singer, idol, or he is not popular enough, he is not signed by a specific company, or he is a non-A-list star with no program to work on.
This kind of people no longer work in a fixed studio or recording studio as usual, but rush between various variety shows every day. They need to talk about the gossip in the circle or popular news and little secrets about themselves and other artists.
Isn't it just to play some teasing games in some entertainment programs to entertain everyone?
All in all, lo!
As an independent artist, Lu Chen is not pressured by a contract company, so he has very free choice in this aspect.
Some agencies will force artists to attend announcement events.
Of course, he doesn’t have the company’s personal connections. He won’t be contacted for many announcement activities.
But Lu Chen himself was not interested in this.
Because he doesn’t have much time to post notifications that are time-consuming and labor-intensive and doesn’t make much money.
Lu Xi understood Lu Chen's thoughts, so he immediately rejected it.
At the same time, he was reminded: "If it is an invitation from Beijing Satellite TV, then you have to go no matter what."
Lu Chen nodded. He had to maintain the relationship with Beijing Satellite TV well, even if he didn't make any money, he still had to give him face.
Otherwise, if you are too unique, you won't be able to survive in the entertainment industry for long.
“In the end, it’s the quotes from the two performance companies.”
Lu Xi said: "Food, accommodation and round-trip air tickets or high-speed rail tickets are included. One song costs 30,000 yuan. If you agree, you can sign a one-year contract first."
Performing acupuncture is also the key point for artists to make money, but the other party's offer made Lu Chen really sad.
Who knows that he is a newcomer and does not have the support of a contracted company!
He scratched his head and asked his sister: "Sister, don't you think it's bad if I don't talk about this or sign that?"
Lu Xi smiled sweetly: "It's good that you know."——
