1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 47 The manager and the first commercial show!
evening.

After the opening ceremony of Good Dream Film Company was over, Jiang Xiaofeng took Liu Huan's ride and returned to the Asian Games Village with Liu Huan.

Just as Jiang Xiaofeng walked downstairs to the rental house and was about to go upstairs, a woman in her 30s came up to him pushing a Phoenix brand purple-blue bicycle and called out his name.

Seeing that this woman knew him, Jiang Xiaofeng thought that she was also a fan of his, so he stopped to see if she wanted to ask him for an autograph.

The woman parked her bicycle by the side of the road, then walked up to Jiang Xiaofeng with a briefcase under her arm, and then offered to stretch out her right hand and said with a pleasant smile: "Xiaofeng, hello, excuse me, my name is Wang Jinghua, I want to find You talk about cooperation, is it convenient to chat a few words?"

Jiang Xiaofeng felt that Wang Jinghua's name was very familiar, as if he had heard of this name somewhere, he also reached out and shook her hand: "It's convenient, what do you want to talk about?"

Wang Jinghua didn't beat around the bush, and asked Jiang Xiaofeng directly: "Xiaofeng, may I ask, do you have a contracted brokerage company?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said calmly, "No."

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's affirmative answer, Wang Jinghua secretly rejoiced, this trip was not in vain.

"It's Xiaofeng like this. I'm an artist manager. These are all my artists. If you are interested, we can cooperate. I will help you get resources and accept business performances..."

As Wang Jinghua said, she took out a stack of materials from her briefcase, and some photos of artists who signed contracts with her, such as Chu Qi Chu Tong, Gao Feng and other singers.

Jiang Xiaofeng finally understood that the ugly elder sister in front of her wanted to be her manager...

Wang Jinghua thought that Jiang Xiaofeng didn't understand, so she told him about the profession of celebrity manager and what it was like to do.

Because the concept of a star manager is currently only common in Hong Kong and Taiwan, almost every singer in Hong Kong and Taiwan has his own manager.

For example, Wang Fei's manager is Chen Jiaying. The reason why Wang Fei can become the queen of the Chinese music scene is not only his own talent, but also the support and packaging of his manager Chen Jiaying.

In the current mainland, there is no concept of "broker". In the mainland literary and art circles, Wang Jinghua is the first person to eat crabs.

Prior to this, the nature of this job was more like an artist’s “nanny” or assistant, taking care of their daily necessities, finding suitable resources for them, and simply serving the artist. power".

In addition, in the process of communicating with Wang Jinghua, Jiang Xiaofeng basically confirmed that the other party was Wang Jinghua, who was later called "Hua Guo's No. [-] Manager".

In Jiang Xiaofeng's previous life memory, the eldest sister in front of her named "Wang Jinghua" later became the manager of many celebrities, such as Chen Daoming, Ren Quan, Li Bingbing, Hu Jun and so on.

After figuring out the identity of the other party, Jiang Xiaofeng felt that this matter was quite reliable, and also wanted to try to cooperate with her for a while, to see if she could accept commercial performances to make money or something.

You know, since Jiang Xiaofeng has never signed a contract with the record company, and basically works alone, so far, Moyan Culture Company has never arranged any commercial performances for him except to ask him to promote the record.

The main reason why Laolang can continue to perform commercially is because he is a signed singer of Dadi Records. He not only signed a record contract, but also signed a brokerage contract. Dadi Records helped him arrange a series of performances.

To be honest, Jiang Xiaofeng is now "everything is ready, the only thing he needs is the east wind". It can be said that he lacks everything, except for a manager who will help him with work.

Obviously, if Jiang Xiaofeng wants to have a partner who can help him with work, then the woman named Wang Jinghua in front of him is undoubtedly the best choice.

However, the reason why Jiang Xiaofeng did not sign a management contract with Moyan Records and Dadi Records was not because he did not want to participate in commercial performances, but because he had always planned to develop in Xiangjiang.

After all, the mainland entertainment industry at this time is still in its infancy, and there is still a long way to go, while Hong Kong and Taiwan already have a complete entertainment system. As long as there are strengths and works, there will be greater Chance.

As far as the current situation is concerned, what is lacking in the mainland music scene is not the singers, let alone the works, but a mature business system.

As a native Yanjing girl, why did Wang Fei become the queen of the Chinese music scene?

The reason is very simple, because Wang Fei went to Xiangjiang to develop, and gained the maximum resources and stage in the peak entertainment circle of Xiangjiang in the 90s, breaking out of her own world.

If Wang Fei has been in the mainland, her acting career may be ruined. Just imagine, if she stays in the mainland, she will be with Dou Wei and the others every day, and she will just play high-end niche music and have fun. , it is easy to play yourself out.

As for the work, let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the song "You at the Same Table" by Lao Lang. Even if it is released in Hong Kong and Taiwan, there is a high probability that it will become popular.

All in all, Xiangjiang in the eighties and 90s is the Hollywood of the East, and it is an ideal place for almost all singers from the three places on both sides of the strait.

Jiang Xiaofeng was naturally no exception. He had already made up his mind in his heart that he would formally launch an attack on the Xiangjiang entertainment circle at the latest next year, that is, in the coming 1995.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaofeng can only sign a short-term contract with Wang Jinghua at most, and a long-term contract is definitely not acceptable.

Of course, Jiang Xiaofeng did not reveal her true thoughts to Wang Jinghua, but said to her: "Sister Hua, how about we sign for three months first, let me see your ability, and I will make a decision. Do you want to sign a long-term contract with you?"

Wang Jinghua believes that Jiang Xiaofeng's request is reasonable, because Jiang Xiaofeng is different from other artists who have become popular by her. Jiang Xiaofeng has become popular now, and there is no need for her to help plan her career, let alone promote and package.

Now Wang Jinghua only needs to use her contacts and relationships to help Jiang Xiaofeng accept commercial performances and help him get jobs.

Without thinking too much, Wang Jinghua said straightforwardly: "Success, three months will be three months, that's it."

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xiaofeng and Wang Jinghua were in a restaurant, chatting while eating, and continued to discuss matters related to cooperation.

Ordinary entertainers, like the brothers Chu Qi and Chu Tong before, were made famous by Wang Jinghua, and they and Wang Jinghua split the accounts [-]-[-].

Now that Jiang Xiaofeng has become famous, Wang Jinghua doesn't need to spend extra time and energy on cultivating it. The cooperation between Wang Jinghua and Jiang Xiaofeng this time is [-]% profitable. Jiang Xiaofeng naturally has more say in the contract share.

After some discussions, Jiang Xiaofeng and Wang Jinghua reached an agreement and signed a [-]/[-] brokerage agreement, with Jiang Xiaofeng accounting for [-]% and Wang Jinghua accounting for [-]%, for a period of three months.

Soon, Wang Jinghua showed Jiang Xiaofeng her strength.

On the fifth day after signing this short contract with Wang Jinghua, Jiang Xiaofeng received his first commercial performance in his acting career.

In order to seize the last wave of business opportunities during the summer vacation, Yanjing's Beichen Shopping City Plaza specially held a grand event.

In order to attract more people to visit the mall, the event party also invited Jiang Xiaofeng to the platform, which indeed attracted many fans.

On the morning of participating in the commercial performance at Beichen Shopping Plaza, Jiang Xiaofeng was dressed as usual, with a black T-shirt on the upper body, jeans and casual shoes on the lower body, and the whole person looked energetic.

Although the small stage layout was simple, it did not affect the enthusiasm of the fans at all. Before Jiang Xiaofeng appeared on the stage, his name was already being called.

When it was Jiang Xiaofeng's turn to make his final appearance, thousands of spectators had already surrounded the scene, mainly young people, and most of them were female compatriots.

After all, it was the first time to participate in a commercial performance, and Jiang Xiaofeng was somewhat excited and nervous, especially because the weather was so hot and so many fans came to the scene, and he was very moved.

Fortunately, when Jiang Xiaofeng was in Shaolin Temple, he often performed shows for tourists, and his mental quality was good, so he didn't suffer from stage fright, so he quickly adjusted his emotions.

"Jiang Xiaofeng!"

"Jiang Xiaofeng!"

"..."

Accompanied by the cheers and shouts of the fans, Jiang Xiaofeng, who came out with the guitar in his arms, faced the scorching sun above his head, first greeted the big guy with a smile, then walked to the microphone in the middle of the stage, and gently plucked the strings , and began to sing the song "Blue Lotus".

"Nothing can stop

your longing for freedom
An unrestricted career

your heart is free

through the dark years

......"

As soon as Jiang Xiaofeng opened his mouth, the atmosphere of the scene was instantly ignited. Many audience members sang the song "Blue Lotus" along with him.

The enthusiastic response of the fans also made Jiang Xiaofeng more confident. After singing "Blue Lotus", he sang "I Have You in My Life".

The song "I'll Have You in My Life" sung by Jiang Xiaofeng also moved the fans in a mess, especially some young female fans, who were even moved to tears by Jiang Xiaofeng.

Jiang Xiaofeng prepared 3 songs this time, and the last song was "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky". In the process of singing this song, Jiang Xiao once again used his singing voice to push the atmosphere of the scene to a high level.

From appearance to exit, Jiang Xiaofeng stayed on stage for a total of 17 minutes. Just making tea, he earned 1 yuan with a smile.

Of course, Jiang Xiaofeng didn't get all of the 1 yuan by himself, he had to "split it into 7/3" with Wang Jinghua, he got [-], and Wang Jinghua got [-].

However, this was the first commercial performance after all, and Jiang Xiaofeng was already very satisfied that it could be completed smoothly without any mistakes, and he could still get 7 yuan.
