I'm here to chase the stars

Chapter 16 Consideration
pit!
It's too bad!

Xu Fang chattered in his heart while reading the contract.

The ten-year contract looks similar to a contract of sale. Although the company promises a certain amount of resources, the artist also has a lot of obligations to fulfill.

For example, to cooperate with the commercial performances and announcements arranged by the company, whether it is to release a single or an album, it must obey the company's schedule, and the company will unconditionally buy out the copyright of these songs.

In addition, the contract also stipulates a large amount of liquidated damages.

In his previous life, Xu Fang really didn't have the capital to pick and choose. Someone handed him a contract, and he signed it with a flick of a pen, just to make money.

As for now, you can also sign, but the purpose is different.

Xu Fang rubbed his chin and thought to himself: "If you sign a contract with Jiwai Entertainment first, use the company's resources and platform to understand how the entertainment industry works, make some friends, and wait until you get tired of staying here, and leave a liquidated damages If you pat your ass and leave, wouldn't you be able to let yourself go."

For other artists, they may not be able to earn enough liquidated damages after signing a contract for several years. Even if they have enough money, they may not be willing to terminate the contract.

As for those who were refrigerated, seeing the high liquidated damages, they dared not speak out.

But he doesn't care, the eight-figure liquidated damages, that's all.

"Am I a bit too black-bellied?" Xu Fang thought secretly, suddenly felt that this idea was not very shrewd.

If he really took out the eight-figure funds, just fooled a studio, found an agent who was familiar with the entertainment industry, and hired two staff members, he could still dawdle, anyway, he wasn't here to make money.

As long as his younger brother grows up and inherits the family business, he can continue to live his life as free as the wind.

"Ahem." Ding Peng felt that Xu Fang was not looking at the contract, but in a daze, coughed twice and said, "I can explain to you if there is anything you don't understand. If you have any requirements, you can also contact me." I mention."

Xu Fang came back to his senses, thought for a while and said: "Why don't I think about it again, and I won't mention it if I ask you."

"Why?" Ding Peng was a little puzzled.

Xu Fang smiled and said: "Brother Peng, there is nothing to mention about small things. As for big things, it's useless to mention them. I want to say ten years to five years. I don't sell the copyright of songs, and I need my consent to receive commercial announcements. Do you think the company can agree, definitely not, so I won't make fun of myself."

"..." Ding Peng was stunned, didn't you just say it, and this kind of condition, let alone a newcomer, even some big-name stars can't get signed, unless you have someone behind you, who can smash the entertainment circle with one foot. .

"You're right. It's impossible for the company to make concessions on these conditions, so you should think about it carefully." Ding Peng hesitated for a while, and then said, "It's best to make a decision early. Although our program is fair, the later ranking It mainly depends on the popularity outside the venue, if you don’t sign with the company, you will be at a disadvantage in the promotion of some channels.”

"I see, thank you Brother Peng." Xu Fang smiled.

What Ding Peng said was already very cryptic. If he did not sign the contract, although the company would not blatantly suppress him, it would not do its best to help him promote it.

If he competes with Jiwai Entertainment's players for positions in the future, he may be passive in terms of popularity.

Xu Fang wasn't surprised by this, he had thought of it a long time ago, so he decided to take advantage of the previous episodes when he would definitely not be eliminated, to brainwash the audience.

……

"Have you thought about the song selection for the second issue, or is it original?" In the small room, Wei Wan looked at Xu Fang and asked.

This is the second one-on-one recording, and the theme this time is to determine the direction of song selection.

Xu Fang said bluntly: "It's original, pop music, more rhythmic. Because it's the first stage, I may have to compete with other contestants, so I hope the songs I choose can drive the atmosphere of the audience."

"Let me think about it." Wei Wan thought for a moment, and felt that what Xu Fang said was not unreasonable, as long as it was not too outrageous, as a mentor, she felt that the wishes of the contestants should be respected, so she agreed, "Your idea is good.

However, songs with a strong sense of rhythm are not easy to write. It is not enough to just speed up the rhythm of the song and sing it happily. You should have a creative direction in your heart. Can you hum the melody, or do you have a first draft of the lyrics? "

"Yes, I have."

Xu Fang took out a piece of paper, wrote a numbered musical notation, and handed it to Wei Wan.

魏婉拿过简谱，看了眼调号，就哼了起来：“3~5~1~6~6~6~5~3~5~3~”

After humming, I was quite pleasantly surprised: "This melody is good. The rehearsal for the second recording is on Saturday, and there are seven days left. The second program will be officially recorded on Sunday night, so you have to do it on Wednesday, preferably Tuesday. Let me see the complete work."

Wei Wan's serious attitude made Xu Fang a little embarrassed to hide it, and he simply said: "Don't wait for Tuesday, why don't you give me some time, and I will write it now?"

"Now?" Wei Wan stared at Xu Fang, then narrowed her eyes suddenly, her tone was full of threats, "Did you write it long ago, did it on purpose just now?"

Can you not be so sharp!
Xu Fang was a little guilty, but his face was full of surprise and innocence: "How is it possible, it was the teacher who gave me inspiration when you hummed just now."

Rationally, Wei Wan felt that Xu Fang was just talking nonsense with his eyes open, but if not, it would be bad for her to interrupt Xu Fang's inspiration.

"Then write quickly." Wei Wan urged, and stopped talking.

"Oh." Xu Fang immediately wrote quickly, humming softly while writing, and his efficiency was extremely high.

No matter how Wei Wan looked at it, she felt that this guy had already written it.

But it didn't take long before her attention was completely shifted to the lyrics. She subconsciously leaned forward and looked at the sheet music on the table where she was writing lyrics.

As Xu Fang was writing, he suddenly felt a black shadow covering the paper in front of him. In the bright room, only the place where he wrote was a bit dark.

Is it good to affect eyesight?

Xu Fang stopped his pen and looked up, almost trembling.

He found that Wei Wan's extremely delicate face was in front of him, so beautiful, but it was too close, especially the warm breath coming towards his face, whether it should be said to be seductive or scary.

Looking at each other, both of them were stunned.

Xu Fang immediately showed his excellent psychological quality, as if there was no one in front of him, he rubbed his neck and continued to write with his head down.

Wei Wan has also sat upright again, pretending nothing happened, only sneaking glances at the cameras and staff in the room from time to time.

After all, it wasn't recording a love variety show, and there was still a punch distance between the two of them. An extremely short accident, no one took it seriously, and it might be cut off when it was broadcast, so no one reacted, which made Wei Wan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but her cheeks were still a little hot.

At this time Xu Fang finally finished writing the score and handed it over.

"Acceleration?" Wei Wan took the paper and scanned for the title of the song.

Then gently hummed along with the score:

"It turns out that the world between me and you

Across the ambiguous night

Your love is not the kind of kindness I want

……

Silent acceleration is my footsteps

running the road in sight
......"

　"Acceleration" - Qu Ying, a familiar song.

　　Another: I wish you all a happy National Day, the [-]th anniversary, and be proud of the motherland. By the way, please collect and recommend~~
