I Became An Ace Broker

After some communication, fine sweat broke out on Yin Xiaozhong's forehead.

Although he has learned a lot, this kind of communication is really tiring, at least for a person with his character, it feels very tiring to learn these things.

"Thank you." Yin Xiaozhong thanked him after sitting back in the auditorium.

Meng Zhuang waved his hand, "It's okay, didn't I tell you, I will help you now, and I will definitely ask you for help in the future, as long as you can help me at that time."

Yin Xiaozhong nodded, "As long as I can help, I will do my best."

"Brother Zhong, what did you do? Yang Lu came here just now." Xiao Hai asked when he saw them come back.

"Is she here for something?" Yin Xiaozhong asked.

"She told you to go find her when you come back. She has something important to tell you." Xiao Hai conveyed.

"Okay, I'll go now." Yin Xiaozhong looked at the time, it was almost approaching the game, and Yang Lu was looking for him in such a hurry, it seemed that there was something urgent.

This time, he went directly to the backstage to find Yang Lu by himself. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the backstage, he saw Yang Lu arranging her clothes with the help of Li Mi and an assistant.

Seeing Yin Xiaozhong approaching, Yang Lu hurriedly put down what she was doing and greeted him.

"Brother Xiao Zhong."

"Xiaohai asked me to come and look for you, is there anything?"

"The program team came to me just now and told us to go find them together." Yang Lu said.

"The program team let us go?"

"right."

"Then let's go."

Yin Xiaozhong and Meng Zhuang actually went to the program producer's office just now, but no one was there at the time.

Since they had been here before, the two found it very easily. At this time, there was a young man sitting inside. He should be under 40 years old. He was quite handsome, with a shrewd look on his face.

Hou Chao, the chief producer of "Looking for Liu Sanjie", was originally the director of music business of CCTV. Later, he was ordered to create a variety show of folk music according to the requirements of the central government, and became the chief producer of "Looking for".

Seeing Yin Xiaozhong and Yang Lu approaching, Hou Chao politely stood up and took a step out.

"Hi, Mr. Hou." Yin Xiaozhong offered to extend his hand.

Hou Chao also stretched out his hand, "Boss Yin, hello."

"I wanted to visit you just now, but you were not there at that time." Yin Xiaozhong said.

Hou Chao motioned for the two of them to sit down, and said, "Just now I went to the scene to check all the equipment for the last time."

"Mr. Hou is really hard. Isn't the on-site team doing these things? You also need to check it yourself?" Yin Xiaozhong's conversation was still a little blunt.

"This is the case with on-site production programs. Some things are more reassuring to do by yourself." Hou Chao explained, then paused, "I called you here because I have something to discuss with you."

"You say."

Hou Chao looked at Yang Lu, "This time the "Looking for Liu Sanjie" talent show, CCTV has targets. They want to use the influence of this show to cultivate three outstanding national-level singers. Yang Lu won the regional audition She performed very eye-catchingly during the show, and was recognized by Professor Li Mi, who has a high professional level, so the program team intends to sign a long-term contract with Yang Lu, and then push her to the top three in the country."

After hearing Hou Chao finished speaking, Yin Xiaozhong and Yang Lu were very surprised. After all, this is definitely good news for them.

Recommended to the top three in the country, as long as she signs this long-term contract with the program group, it means that Yang Lu is really a hit.

"What kind of long-term contract is it?" Yang Lu still hesitated about being a folk singer.

"Probably sign a three-year sympathy performance agreement. After the "Looking" program is over, the singers who have long-term contracts and have won the ranking will continue to follow the program group on a nationwide sympathy tour. Of course, there will be corresponding remuneration. This Although the remuneration is incomparable with the income from commercial performances, it can use this period to greatly accumulate popularity." Hou Chao replied.

Of course, Yin Xiaozhong thinks that this condition is good. After all, he followed the CCTV program and went around the country. When the long-term contract ended, Yang Lu not only experienced long-term singing training, but also accumulated a very positive popularity. These are all things that ordinary singers do not have at all. way to do it.

But the only disadvantage is that the income in three years is relatively small.

"What do you think?" Yin Xiaozhong looked at Yang Lu and asked for advice.

Although Yang Lu didn't really want to be a folk singer, the chance of being recommended as one of the top three in the country was indeed too attractive to her. Think about it carefully, at worst, I will be a folk singer first in the next three years, and then I will transform after three years.

"I think it's okay." Yang Lu nodded and replied.

Hearing that Yang Lu agreed, Hou Chao looked at Yin Xiaozhong again, "Mr. Yin, as Yang Lu's agent and signing agency, you must hope to maximize the artist's interests. Our long-term contract may not suit you. Heart, but for a real singer, this is definitely a good development opportunity."

What Hou Chao said was very objective, and he also considered the pros and cons from Yin Xiaozhong's perspective.

But Yin Xiaozhong is not blindly pursuing profit like other agents. It's not that he doesn't want to pursue profit, but he hasn't fully become a qualified profit-maximizing agent for the time being. So Hou Chao was worried, but he was actually not too dissatisfied.

"As long as Yang Lu agrees, our agency will have no problem." Yin Xiaozhong replied straightforwardly.

This made Hou Chao very surprised. It was the first time he had seen an agent who didn't care about the artist's interests.

Yang Lu looked at Yin Xiaozhong, and asked with some concern, "Brother Xiaozhong, if I sign a long-term contract with the program team, wouldn't it be impossible to realize your plan to build a girl group?"

Originally, the women's team plan was just a temporary idea, and things will always change according to changes. Yin Xiaozhong shook his head indifferently, "It's okay, if you can develop better, of course I won't delay you because of my plan, without you Just make them a duo, that's the same."

Hearing Yin Xiaozhong express his thoughts lightly, Hou Chao pursed his lips and nodded, "Boss Yin is really different."

Of course Yin Xiaozhong understands the meaning of this unique sentence. In a positive sense, it is very unique. In a derogatory sense, he is actually not a qualified broker who focuses on interests.

Whether it's commendatory or derogatory, it doesn't matter to Yin Xiaozhong now. After all, after Yang Lu signed herself, from the beginning of participating in the draft, Goddess of Luck really favored her. the road.

"Since you both agree, I will start preparing the contract here, and I will sign with you in a few days." Hou Chao said.

Yang Lu and Yin Xiaozhong looked at each other, and then looked at Hou Chao, "Mr. Hou, I have one more question to ask. Is it convenient for you to disclose it?"

Hou Chao stretched out his hand, "Ask."

"Other than me, who are the top three in the country?" Yang Lu asked.

Hou Chao grinned, "Not yet. We are still looking for one. You are the first one."

Yang Lu nodded understandingly, and continued, "Since you are still looking for something, you can pay more attention to Ma Tuotuo and Chi Ningning, they are also artists of our company, they are also very good at singing, and they have great potential for development. "

Hou Chao nodded, "Okay, I see, we will all pay attention to it."

Yang Lu's question actually touched Yin Xiaozhong a little, because she really regarded Ma Tuodu and Chi Ningning as best friends from the bottom of her heart, she was not afraid of competition at all, and instead looked for opportunities for them to win.

Afterwards, the three exchanged a few more pleasantries, and the game was about to start, so they left Hou Chao's office.

Walking out of the office, Yang Lu breathed a sigh of relief, with a slightly relaxed expression, "This opportunity is really a great thing for me. I am recommended to the top three in the country, and the subsequent competitions will become routine, which makes my pressure much less .”

Yin Xiaozhong nodded in agreement, "Yeah, your draft has been really smooth. It's not going well. You've already reserved the top three positions in the country in advance."

Yang Lu held Yin Xiaozhong's arm excitedly, "It's not enough to be in the top three in the country. My goal is the national championship, so I have to keep working hard."

After Yin Xiaozhong and Yang Lu left Hou Chao's office, two other people were invited over a while later, Zhang Xuefang from Nine Dragons Prosperity and one of them, Tang Tang, an artist.

Because Zhang Xuefang has a wealth of experience as a manager, after receiving the invitation from the chief producer Hou Chao, he understood the general meaning behind it. It must be some recommendation. some exchange.

However, one thing about this invitation surprised him, that is, he did not expect that the person in the program group photo was Tang Tang, not Sha Weier, whom he praised so much.

Although he tried his best to replace Tang Tang with Sha Weier during the negotiation, he did not get Hou Chao's consent. On the contrary, he was not very happy to provoke Tang Tang on the side. After all, it is indeed a bit too much to openly favor Sha Weier. up.

But Zhang Xuefang would not pay attention to Tang Tang's mood, and she would accept the company's arrangement whether she was happy or not.

Like Yang Lu, Tang Tang won the top three picks in the country, but Zhang Xuefang and Yin Xiaozhong were different. The condition he negotiated with Hou Chao was not about 3 years, but about 80 performances.

This is the difference between professional brokers and non-professional brokers.

The matches of Group A and Group B were held at the same time as scheduled. Although Yang Lu was in Group A, which was full of fierce competition and masters, she was the first to successfully advance to the top 20 in the country. Because she knew in advance that she would be guaranteed the top three, so this time Yang Lu did not like It was so exciting to advance to the national semi-finals for the first time, but everything was very calm.

Seeing that Yang Lu successfully advanced to the top 20 in the country, Meng Zhuang nodded in admiration, "She sings so well, she is definitely capable of competing for the national championship."

Ma Tuotuo and Chi Ningning in Group B also successfully advanced to the top 20 in the country.

The three contestants in Fengxingtianxia all advanced.

Seeing that all the artists from the Prosperity of Nine Dragons also advanced, after the competition ended, Zhang Xuefang and Yin Xiaozhong congratulated each other and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Seven days later, the national finals of "Looking for Liu Sanjie" will start. All the top 20 contestants will compete for the championship in the CCTV live broadcast hall for three weeks.

The first week is twenty to ten.

The second week is ten to three.

The third week is the final night of champions~www.wuxiaspot.com~ On the second day after the end of the national semi-finals, all the top 20 contestants moved to the CCTV live broadcast hall that was arranged in advance. All the scenes of the program "Looking for Liu Sanjie" have been arranged, and the lighting and sound effects and all related equipment are available.

After successfully advancing to the top 20 in the country, the exposure of Yang Lu, Ma Tuotuo, and Chi Ningning has greatly increased, and their names have begun to appear in the headlines of major media.

Yang Lu is also known as the most powerful contender for the championship.

With the increase in exposure, the assistants of the three, Cai Wenyan and Li Rou, also began to get busier, and various advertisement invitation calls and invitations to commercial performances came one after another.

Yin Xiaozhong has a rule that in order not to distract the three of them, they will not participate in any activities during the competition, so Cai Wenyan and Li Rou politely declined all invitations.

Because the finals were to start seven days later, Yin Xiaozhong took Xiao Hai back to Jincheng the next afternoon.
