The straight man in the entertainment circle

Lin Li and Chen Qingqing did not return to Kyoto until evening.

Jiang Da picked them up at the airport and took them to dinner.

"Lin Li, do you know that when you were on the plane, five or six brokerage companies from the island country came over again. They were all willing to sign a brokerage agreement with you in the island country, according to the sharing method we said."

Lin Li was on the plane, but he didn't know what kind of impact his last song had on the island country.

"Why did these people suddenly figure it out?" Lin Li laughed.

"Then you still need to ask. It must have been the song "Don't Give Up" that you sang at the airport today that made them give up." Chen Qingqing said.

Jiang Da and Lin Li both laughed after hearing this.

Jiang Da said: "Chen Qingqing is right. TV stations in various cities in the island country broadcast the news of you singing at the airport today. It caused a huge sensation in the island country. Not only the island country's agency wants to sign you, but also many island country singers. I want to buy the cover rights of your song."

"Also, the island country wants to hold a charity show tonight for the disaster in Shimane Prefecture. I originally wanted to invite you to participate, but unfortunately you were already on the plane when I was notified. Now they want the singing rights of your song "Don't Give Up"."

The island country attaches great importance to copyright. Even songs by foreign singers require authorization from the company or the person to sing them.

After listening to Eda's words, Lin Li said, "The song has been sung for them, and the licensing fee will be donated to the earthquake victims in Shimane Prefecture."

Jiang Da nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to the people in the company and let them handle it. However, have you decided whether to sign a contract? If you sign a contract with an island agency, all these things will be taken care of by them. went."

Lin Li thought about it and felt that Jiang Da was right, so he asked: "Ku Production Co., Ltd. also agreed to a 30-70 share?"

"Not only did they agree to a 30-70 share, they also promised to give us a generous signing bonus!" Jiang Da said with a smile.

Lin Li has been composing songs one after another in the past few days, which made the executives of Library Production Co., Ltd. who were originally unable to accept a 30-70 split, think about it. Especially the popularity and favor caused by Lin Li's last airport singing of "Don't Give Up" at the airport made them regret it. and.

Only now did they realize why Lin Li dared to shout a 30-70 split without giving in at all.

Because Lin Li has the qualifications!

In less than a week, Lin Li went from an almost unknown Chinese star in the island country to the most popular foreign star in the island country.

They all felt that Lin Li would be the next Cheng Ming.

But Cheng Ming is already in his twilight years, while Lin Li is still a rising star.

"Actually, the other two companies also promised a lot of signing fees on the basis of sharing the share. Ku Production Co., Ltd. is not the best one." Jiang Da reminded.

Lin Lidao: "Let's go to Sign Library Production Co., Ltd. The signing fee is a one-time fee, not much more."

For Lin Li, he naturally didn't take the extra money for the signing fee. After all, he had some dealings with Ku Production Co., Ltd., and also had some friendships with Akabane Mina and Fukada Rimi, so if he was asked to choose, he would naturally choose Library Production Co., Ltd.

Jiang Da was stunned for a moment. Although the signing fee was indeed not much, it was still a lot. Jiang Da looked at Chen Qingqing, wanting to know the reason from her.

"It seems that the honey trap used by Ku Production Co., Ltd. is somewhat effective." Chen Qingqing said with a smile.

Lin Li's face heated up and he said, "No..."

Jiang Da understood immediately and said, "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that Rimi Fukada is in this company. Has Lin Li seen her?"

"Not only did I see it, I almost brought it back." Chen Qingqing joked.

Jiang Da looked at Lin Li with wide eyes: "Okay, Lin Li."

"I don't!"

"It's not like you're blushing." Chen Qingqing smiled.

Lin Li said to Chen Qingqing: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Do you dare to say that Fukada Rimi didn't tell you that she wanted to come to China?" Chen Qingqing asked provocatively.

Lin Li was stunned and said, "That's true."

"Then she must have said that you would entertain her when she came to China, right?"

"This... also said..."

"That's right. Miss Fukada wants to come to China to meet you. I said I almost brought her back. It doesn't seem to be a problem."

Lin Li said speechlessly: "Chen Qingqing, you are such a genius with logic!"

Chen Qingqing chuckled and said, "I'm so grateful for the compliment, but I don't deserve it."

Jiang Da saw Lin Li retreating in front of Chen Qingqing from the side. He understood something in his heart and said with a smile: "Chen Qingqing, aren't you jealous?"

Chen Qingqing smiled and said: "Why am I jealous? Senior Brother Lin, a girl from the island nation, won't like it."

Jiang Dadao: "That's Rimi Fukada."

"So what, I'm still Chen Qingqing!"

Jiang Da heard what Chen Qingqing said and said, "Chen Qingqing, your confidence is really similar to Lin Li's."

Chen Qingqing said: "How can someone with no self-confidence stand beside Senior Brother Lin?"

Jiang Da nodded in agreement, and suddenly smiled flatteringly: "Then Chen Qingqing... why don't you come to our company too."

Chen Qingqing glanced at Lin Li, but Lin Li had no reaction.

"You are poaching, Boss Jiang..."

Jiang Da smiled and said, "Isn't it because you have such a good relationship with Lin Li that I want you to be close to the world?"

Chen Qingqing smiled brightly and said, "Your balcony is a bit crowded."

Jiang Da understood that what Chen Qingqing was saying was that Wu Ruobing, Li Mengfei and Ayu also liked Lin Li in Jiang Da's company.

Lin Li said with disdain, "Chen Qingqing's manager is Ye Jing. You don't have any self-awareness in poaching people."

When Jiang Da heard what Lin Li said, he felt a little frustrated and said, "That's right, Chen Qingqing is someone Ye Jing strongly supports."

"Aunt Jing is very good to me." Chen Qingqing was very grateful in her words.

"That's not very good...it's simply indulgent!" Jiang Dadao said, "Ye Jing used to be an artist. She had no control over who she met, what she said, what she wore, and what she ate. It's not up to you. This, everything is up to you, you buy hot searches for Lin Li, it’s up to you, you want to star in Lin Li’s movies for free, it’s up to you, even if you confessed to Lin Li, she didn’t interfere, it’s simply unimaginable!”

What Jiang Da said was something Lin Li had always been curious about. After Jiang Da finished speaking, Lin Li looked at Chen Qingqing strangely and asked, "Chen Qingqing, did you give Ye Jing any ecstasy soup?"

Chen Qingqing smiled and said: "If I want to have the ecstasy soup, I will definitely give it to you, Senior Brother Lin, first!"

Lin Li also smiled and said: "You know, I have a good capacity for drinking, and one or two bowls of Ecstasy Soup probably won't have any effect on me."

"Hey, speaking of drinking capacity, Lin Li, I saw on the news that you drank down five or six drunkards in the island country?"

The three of them talked about the Hongmen Banquet that night in the island country. As they were talking, Jiang Da's phone rang. Jiang Da answered it for a while and said to Lin Li: "The island country is holding a charity performance for disaster relief in Shimane County tonight. I want to sing the last song. Sing your song "Don't Give Up" and now I'm asking for permission."

Lin Lidao: "Go back and sign the contract with Library Production and let them have full authority to handle it."

Jiang Da looked at the food being served, sighed, and said, "It seems we won't be able to eat tonight."

Chen Qingqing smiled and said: "You go ahead, I'll eat these."

"Can you eat it?" Lin Li asked.

"I can take it back to Aunt Jing." Chen Qingqing said with a smile, "Boss Jiang, remember to pay the bill."

Jiang Da stood up and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not a deadbeat."

Lin Li also stood up and said to Chen Qingqing: "Then let's meet the crew."

"Okay, Senior Brother Lin, don't miss me, hahaha, bye."

Chen Qingqing rested her head with one hand, waved the other hand towards Lin Li and Jiang Da, and watched them leave.

Back at the company, Lin Li signed an agency contract with the Kyoto agent of Tatsushima Koku Production Co., Ltd. After signing the contract, the top management of Koku Production Co., Ltd. immediately announced the matter in the island country.

Netizens from the island country who knew the news were extremely happy.

Lin Li's "Don't Give Up" has spread throughout the island country today. Whether it is high-ranking government officials or ordinary people, no matter high-end clubs or in the streets, this song is played.

At this time, news came out that Lin Li had signed a contract with Ku Production Co., Ltd., and it was known that Lin Li would donate to the earthquake victims. He was currently the only foreign star to donate to the disaster area. For a time, everyone in the island country was full of good impressions of Lin Li.

Lin Li's performance at the airport during the day shocked everyone. Netizens left messages online, hoping to hear Lin Li sing again.

People in the disaster area knew that a disaster relief performance would be held tonight, and people in the disaster area shouted out, hoping to see Lin Li on stage.

After Lin Li signed the contract with Ku Production Co., Ltd., he was about to go have something to eat with Jiang Da.

As a result, the first job in the island nation came.

At the request of the organizer, the company hopes that Lin Li can be connected to the island country's charity performance tonight and sing the song "Don't Give Up" with the island country's singers.

Of course, the jobs they take need to be negotiated with Lin Lifang to communicate the schedule. Most importantly, they need Lin Li's personal consent before they can take the job.

Lin Li had nothing to do tonight, and the island company had been emphasizing that these were the voices of island netizens and victims, so Lin Li agreed.

After taking the job, Lin Li was quickly sent the lyrics of his song. The song "Don't Give Up" was sung by more than a dozen island artists, and Lin Li only sang two lines.

But the two most important sentences:

"Don't admit defeat, try harder!"

"No matter how far the distance is, my heart will be with you!"

These two lines are obviously the two most essential lines of the song, but the chorus is sung twice, so these two lines are also sung twice, one by Lin Li and the other by Ueno Kawabe, a popular singer from the island nation. Sing.

Generally, in such a star-studded chorus, who sings which line is very particular. The less famous person sings the intro, the more famous person sings the chorus, the less famous person only has one line, or even several people sing one line, while the more famous person sings the chorus. One person can sing a few lines.

And even when singing the chorus, the sequence is still different.

The higher the status of the person, the later he sings.

Although Lin Li and Ueno Kawabe sang the same two lines, Lin Li sang the last time.

This means that in almost one day, Lin Li transformed from a minor name in an island country to a C position in a chorus of stars!

This is of course out of respect for Lin Li, the original creator, but also because Lin Li’s song today has left a deep impression on all the people of the island country. The huge voice of the people of the island country made the organizer decide this way.

By the time Lin Li had dinner, the charity performance on the island country had already begun.

Lin Li and Jiang Da returned to the company and searched Dongjing TV Station and watched the live broadcast.

The charity performance is expected to last for two hours. It is organized by the Island Artists Association. Some well-known artists from the island have participated, and the lineup is very strong.

Mina Akabane, Shogo Ishii and Satomi Fukada are all on the list.

Although Rimi Fukada is an actor, popular actors will also attend at this time, and then find a chorus song to sing a line or two.

After all, it is a disaster. Stars from the island country will try their best to attend whenever they can. Many people are even willing to give up other jobs and participate because this kind of program has good ratings, good reputation, and some reputation. Artists, if you don't work hard at this time, you will be criticized verbally and writtenly.

The group of people who held the Hongmen Banquet for Lin Li that day were not on the list. They were probably all small stars and not qualified to attend such a grand party.

At the beginning, the host read out some information about the disaster area, and the scene of the disaster area was played on the big screen. After saying a lot of words of encouragement, the entertainers began to perform, of course, basically singing.

There are many earthquakes in the island country, so there are many similar cheering and blessing songs.

After listening to it for a long time, Lin Li finally understood why his song today became so popular in the island country.

This is because the songs written by people from the island country before gave people the impression that they were just slogans of encouragement. The arrangements were random and the lyrics were just for the sake of encouragement. They were not written into people's hearts at all.

In comparison, "Don't Give Up" is much better. It truly feels like encouraging the victims as their own relatives, and the lyrics also sing out the inner words of citizens who want to encourage people in disaster areas, so this song The song is so popular.

Celebrities appeared on stage in twos and threes to sing, and then said some words of encouragement, calling on fans to donate, and even the celebrities themselves stated how much they would donate.

Due to time constraints, the scene was not rehearsed, so the stage did not look very exciting, but the feeling of everyone on and off the stage working together made Lin Li, who was watching TV, feel a little emotional.

In the face of disaster, whether it is an island country or China, there is actually no difference.

Soon the night got dark and the charity performance came to its last song.

Lin Li, on the other hand, had already made a video call with the organizer's technical staff.

"Thank you to all the artists who came to the scene tonight, and thank you to everyone who came here tonight and to the people watching in front of the TV. I know that everyone is praying for the disaster area, and we also believe that Shimane Prefecture will be able to survive it. .”

"Our blessings to the disaster-stricken areas will not stop, but due to time constraints, we only have the last song left in our charity performance tonight."

"This song was created just two hours after the Shimane Prefecture earthquake, and the person who wrote it only took half an hour."

"The person who wrote this song is a Chinese singer, actor, and director."

"I think everyone knows who I'm talking about. Yes, it's Lin Li and his song "Don't Give Up" that is popular in the island nation today!"

"Now please welcome everyone with applause. Akabane Mina, Fukada Rimi, Ishii Shogo, Ueno Kawabe... and Lin Li himself bring you this song "Don't Give Up"!"
