Chapter 36 Game Rules in the Entertainment Industry
Fang Xing is a little bit special in this show. He has not signed with a brokerage company yet.
The reason why this happens is related to Chen Chaonan.
When the "Star of Tomorrow" project was being prepared, Tong Fei relied on her personal connections to ask Chen Chaonan to come over and provide vocal guidance for the program.
When Chen Chaonan discussed this matter with Tong Fei, he hoped that Tong Fei would give more opportunities to Dongyin students.
Tong Fei was very generous and conducted a three-day interview at Donghai Conservatory of Music to specifically select Dongyin students to participate in the program.
Fang Xing is still a student at Donghai Conservatory of Music and will not graduate until June.
When I was in school, I participated in the program interview and got into "Tomorrow Star".
Since it was not recommended by the entertainment company, I haven’t signed with the company yet.
Originally, given Fang Xing's situation, it was almost time to go back to school after taking a stroll in Class F.
Who would have thought that in his first performance, Fang Xing would become the focus of the entire show with his overwhelming attitude.
When "Nocturne" and "Wild Bird" first became popular searches, Chaoyin culture didn't pay much attention to them.
Because Fang Xing only performed these two songs.
If you only have two songs in stock, they will be gone after you sing them. In the eyes of big companies, your potential is only that much.
Liu Rongxuan happened to be on a business trip to Donghai this time, so he stopped by to visit the team to see if Fang Xing had greater potential.
After he finished listening to "All Lovers in the World" and "The Hard-to-Recite Sutra", he knew that this newcomer was more powerful than expected.
Liu Rongxuan did not alert Fang immediately, but looked at Tong Fei with interest and asked: "Ms. Fei, are you free tonight? Let's have a meal together."
Tong Fei laughed and said: "This program has just been recorded and will be online next Friday. Do you think I have time to eat?"
"That's a shame."
Liu Rongxuan sighed and started to get to the point: "Were the two songs just produced by Fang Xing himself?"
"Yes, I hit it note by note under the camera." Tong Fei replied.
"Previously, the staff of the program team said that Fang Xing didn't have an agency yet. What's going on?" Liu Rongxuan thought this was a bit strange.
Because the trainees of "Tomorrow's Star" are basically sent by major entertainment companies to participate in the show.
There are not no individual trainees, but very few.
"Treasure caught from Dongyin." Tong Fei replied with a smile.
"Have you been contacted by any brokerage company?" Liu Rongxuan asked again.
Feifan Entertainment and Chaoyin Culture have always been in a cooperative relationship.
The two were very familiar with each other, so Liu Rongxuan asked directly.
"What do you think?" Tong Fei had a smile on her face, and her meaning was obvious.
In fact, it started from the first season of "Tomorrow's Star".
Before the show even started airing, agencies that received inside information began to contact trainees who had no companies.
Even some trainees who have signed with a brokerage company but whose liquidated damages are not high will be poached by big companies.
Competition among entertainment companies is fierce.
Therefore, in the following seasons of drafts, when agencies send trainees over, they must sign a contract with extremely high liquidated damages in advance, otherwise they will not be allowed to come.
The day after Fang Xing finished singing "Nocturne" and "Wild Bird", an agency wanted to contact him.
However, Tong Fei asked the staff of the program team to keep out all the agencies who wanted to poach people.
Wait until "Nocturne" and "Wild Bird" are trending on Weibo.
There are countless brokerage companies that want to contact Fang Xing.
Of course, he was stopped by Tong Fei.
In addition, Fang Xing has not left the training camp during this period, so he has not talked with any agency yet.
Liu Rongxuan understood the meaning of Tong Fei's words, his smile became even brighter, and he said: "Let him make up a management contract as a prerequisite for forming a group."
When Tong Fei heard this request, the smile on her face dropped and asked: "Mr. Liu, what you mean is that if he doesn't sign, Chaoyin Culture will interfere with the program?"
"I'm just making up for a management contract. As long as he is really talented, I won't treat him badly." Liu Rongxuan insisted on a management contract.
"That's your business." Tong Fei refused.
Liu Rongxuan was not angry and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll send someone to negotiate the contract with him. However, you should not interfere in this matter."
Although Tong Fei has blocked other brokerage companies, Chaoyin culture is different.
Because the contract for the "Tomorrow Star" limited tour was handed over to Chaoyin Culture Operations.
Therefore, Chaoyin Culture wants to sign Fang Xing, and Tong Fei will not stop it.
……
The next morning.
Fang Xing got up early to practice his voice, and didn't go to the training camp canteen to eat until eight o'clock.
When I met trainees from other groups in the cafeteria, many of them took the initiative to say hello and their attitudes were very good.
If this happened in the past, there would never have been so many people taking the initiative to say hello.
This is the case in the entertainment industry, strength is everything.
Especially the ability in music production.
When someone said hello, Fang Xing responded with a smile and nod.
After dinner, the director came over and sent a message, saying that he was going to the small conference room to meet someone.
When Fang Xing entered the small conference room, he saw an urban beauty wearing a professional skirt.
The urban beauty stood up with a smile and introduced herself: "Hello, I am the assistant to the artist director of Chaoyin Culture. My name is Dai Huiyun."
"Hello."
Fang Xing shook her hand politely.
When he heard the title Assistant Artist Director, Fang Xing roughly guessed what was going on without the other party explaining the purpose of his visit.
In fact, when Fang Xing knew that he had not signed with a brokerage company, he guessed that a company would come to him.
However, Chaoyin Culture sent an assistant artist director over. Either the big company is showing off, or it doesn't take itself seriously.
Dai Huiyun took out a contract and said: "The program team and management are very optimistic about you, so we need to sign a new contract. As long as you sign this contract, as long as you maintain your current level, you can make a stable debut as a group."
If it were any other trainee who encountered such a good thing, he would definitely be surprised and sign him up quickly.
For an unknown 180-tier artist, a big company is willing to use debut as a group as a promise to negotiate contracts, which is already very sincere.
There are many rules behind the draft, and it is not as simple as it seems.
If you were another trainee and didn't sign this contract, you would be eliminated from the next performance.
There shouldn’t be too many upset eliminations from talent shows.
For many talent shows and variety shows, the spots for group debut have already been allocated before recording begins.
Big companies and program producers can negotiate terms, and you can even get a group debut spot in advance.
Only in this way will these big companies send trainees to participate in the show.
There are even some talent show variety shows that are funded and produced by entertainment companies in order to promote their own artists.
If a player doesn't have a big company behind him, it's almost impossible for him to debut in a group.
Even if a miracle happens and a black swan suddenly becomes popular, it will be signed by a big company.
Don’t sign?
