Zheng Qian's heart moved and he followed Song Weifeng into the lounge.
At this time, a man and a woman were standing in the lounge. The man had an artistic temperament. He was probably in his forties. He had an elegant temperament and wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses. The main thing was that his hair was very long, with mixed black and white hair, and was tied up.
It became a ponytail.
After seeing Zheng Qian, he had a smile on his face, took the initiative to reach out and shake hands, and said in blunt Mandarin: "Mr. Zheng, congratulations on winning the championship. I am the music director of Universal Music Hong Kong. My name is Wan Feng. This is my business card."
"Hello."
Zheng Qian took the business card and looked at the woman next to him.
Wan Feng smiled and said: "This is my assistant, you can call her Sally."
After introducing each other, Song Weifeng said: "You guys chat, if you have any questions, call me."
After Song Weifeng left, Zheng Qian looked at Wan Feng: "I wonder if Mr. Wan is looking for me for something?"
He already had some guesses in his heart. He had learned before that the song "Really Love You" had indeed been reported many times in Hong Kong recently, and it had indeed topped the song list of major music radio stations in Hong Kong.
, but he still can't believe that the influence of just one song has made him valued by giant companies in the industry?
Wan Feng asked his assistant Sally to help pour tea, then asked Zheng Qian to sit down, cleared his throat, and then said: "Mr. Zheng, first of all, congratulations again on winning the championship. Secondly, when I came to the mainland on a business trip this time, I mainly wanted to talk to Mr. Zheng.
Talk about your career."
Zheng Qian took the tea from Sally and nodded thoughtfully, "Mr. Wan, please tell me."
Wan Feng pushed up his glasses, took out a document bag from the briefcase next to him, and handed it to Zheng Qian: "This matter may be a bit sudden, but after our company's internal research, we feel that Mr. Zheng is indeed worthy of us. This is
An artist management contract, all the conditions are written in it, Mr. Zheng, we at Universal Music want to invite you to join with the greatest sincerity..."
Zheng Qian took the document bag, but did not open it. It even felt a little hot. He raised his head and said, "Mr. Wan, I want to make sure, do you, Universal Music, want to poach me?"
"Yes, Mr. Zheng doesn't have to worry about anything. As long as Mr. Zheng joins us, Universal Music will send the most professional team of lawyers to help you get rid of the original company. All liquidated damages that need to be paid will also be borne by Universal Music."
Wan Feng looked at Zheng Qian and was a little surprised when he saw that he did not open the document bag. He pushed up his glasses again: "Mr. Zheng, our sincerity is enough, what do you think?"
"What do I need to do?" Zheng Qian asked.
Wan Feng smiled: "Mr. Zheng, you only need to create classic songs like "Really Love You". We will be responsible for promoting, packaging and finding suitable popular singers to sing these classic songs. Of course, if Mr. Zheng
His creative ability has been tested by the market and succeeded again. We will also release records for Mr. Zheng. For singers released by our company, there is no need to worry about subsequent packaging, promotion, concerts, etc., because we will provide all-round follow-up
Serve."
Zheng Qian was actually a little moved in his heart.
He couldn't hold back, and finally opened the document bag, took out an artist management contract inside, and quickly opened it.
Wan Feng did not disturb him, he just drank tea quietly and waited.
He has absolute confidence because he knew Zheng Qian's resume before coming here. Although this young man's experience of being oppressed overseas seems miserable, it is actually not surprising because there are so many similar artists.
, with the rise of the Korean idol industry, almost all young people from all over Southeast Asia who are interested in this are rushing to major Korean brokerage companies. Only a handful of them can really break out of the world, and most of them sink in this world.
Under the entertainment industry.
And with the development of the industry, the agency contracts of artists have become more and more strict, and the exploitation of capital has always been bloody. The contract in Zheng Qian's time was quite generous, and it only required five years. If it is now, it will be eight years.
, ten-year contracts are common, and the brokerage company does not bear all performance and activity expenses, at most it only pays in advance.
Every time the labor fee is distributed, the cost of clothing, makeup, props, etc. will be deducted, and then the remaining labor fee will be settled to the artist.
This leads to the fact that many artists' income is less than their expenses after each performance, so the artist's labor fees for each performance not only have to be paid to the company, but sometimes they are also owed to the company.
If there is no chance of success, then the more performances an artist performs, the more he will owe. By the time he leaves the company, it can be said that many artists are saddled with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.
Therefore, Zheng Qian's painful experience can be said to be ordinary in Wan Feng's eyes.
What he cares about is Zheng Qian's sudden rise in recent months. He has just listened to the songs that were shown on the "Singer" stage. Although they are good, and some of them are even amazing, the requirements for performers are too high.
It is almost restricted to high-pitched performers like Zheng Qian.
However, "17 Years Old" written by Zheng Qian for Andy Lau has received enthusiastic responses in Hong Kong, Taiwan and even throughout Southeast Asia.
Many fans of Andy Lau were stunned when they heard this song and asked for it on the radio all day long. They even spontaneously started a "17-year-old" wave in Hong Kong and attracted many celebrities to join. Everyone started to
Narrating his past when he was 17 years old almost made "17 Years Old" a phenomenal song.
Even Fat Brother and Fourth Brother took the initiative to gather with Andy at the Hong Kong TVB for interviews because of this incident, and recalled the past when they entered the entertainment industry. For a while, related reports filled the headlines.
This alone may make it difficult for Zheng Qian to attract the attention of others, but the song "Really Love You" that Zheng Qian sang at Andy's concert really came to the fore because it miraculously inspired the Hong Kong rock music scene.
vitality.
Recently, underground rock singers have appeared everywhere in Hong Kong, singing this song on the streets. Many related videos have been posted online, and some people even held flash mob events and spread them throughout Asia.
The song "Really Love You" is hailed as the clarion call for the revival of rock music in the new century, causing many rock singers to begin to miss their youth everywhere.
This surprised Wan Feng.
He has never seen a mediocre singer suddenly become enlightened.
This can only be said that Zheng Qian is indeed a diamond buried under the oppression of capital, as reported by many Hong Kong media.
Now, after internal deliberations within the company, as the music director of Universal Music Hong Kong, he rushed to the mainland with the greatest sincerity and a complete management contract, just to bring this buried gem to the mainland.
Polished into real jade.
