Chapter 95
After letting go of something in her heart, Ding Jie's mood was obviously much brighter. The meal restored a relaxed atmosphere, and Ye Zhiqiu also breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Zhiqiu asked casually: "By the way, Sister Ding, the competition is over, what are your plans."
"I'm thinking about this issue." Ding Jie said worriedly, "Actually, I'm very satisfied that the competition has reached the fourth round. After being eliminated, many companies contacted me. I should probably sign a contract with one of them."
"Brother Xiaoye, it just so happens that you can give me some advice."
"I don't know much about these companies either." Ye Zhiqiu said honestly, but still asked out of curiosity, "What companies are there and what are their conditions?"
"It's just so so, but it's definitely better than what I used to do alone." Ding Jie said, "There are Jushi, Dangdai, Yinghong, Haiyi, Huahai... Each of these companies has its own advantages."
Ye Zhiqiu didn't know much about these entertainment record companies, but he still heard two familiar names.
"Yinghong Entertainment and Huahai Entertainment?" Ye Zhiqiu asked curiously.
Ding Jie nodded, "Yinghong is the company where Wang Nanchen works. In fact, the conditions offered by their company are the highest, a C-level contract. But I will not agree to it, their company is disgusting."
"I heard that the female singers of Yinghong Entertainment all sing marginal songs, and there were also scandals involving female stars under the unspoken rules of Yinghong Entertainment."
Li Hongfei? Ye Zhiqiu sneered in his heart, nodded, and continued to ask: "Where is Huahai Entertainment?"
"It's your sweetheart's company." Ding Jie teased and said bluntly, "Actually, I'm not very inclined to choose Huahai."
"Two reasons. First, although Huahai Entertainment has the most experience and qualifications in the music industry among these companies, it still plays the same tricks as it did twenty years ago because of its backward concepts. It has fallen behind a bit in recent years."
"However, the recent exception is Yu Caiwei, who deserves credit for your song "The Wind Rises"." Ding Jie glanced at Ye Zhiqiu with envy and resentment, and continued: "The second one is the issue of treatment."
"Huahai Entertainment offered me a D-level contract. If a small role like me goes to such a large company, it will definitely not have many resources. It is better to choose a small and medium-sized company that is willing to give me a C-level contract. This way, I can develop more.
better."
Ye Zhiqiu thought about it and said, "I have been in contact with Huahai and they are very sincere. If nothing unexpected happens, I will cooperate with Huahai Entertainment in the future."
Ding Jie was stunned, and Ye Zhiqiu continued: "Sister Ding, if you can trust me, just sign with Huahai."
"I'll be there to take care of you then. Maybe I'll get some inspiration and I can help you write a few songs and make an album."
"Really?!" Ding Jie's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "Brother Xiaoye, you can't lie to me."
Ding Jie now has blind trust in Ye Zhiqiu's abilities.
Ye Zhiqiu shrugged and said, "I can't guarantee whether it will be popular or not."
"Okay! I signed!" Ding Jie made a quick decision and gritted her teeth: "I will go back and contact Huahai Entertainment tonight and become your colleague!"
After saying that, Ding Jie put on a pitiful expression and said: "Brother Xiaoye, my future is all on you, you can't just leave me alone."
Ye Zhiqiuhun nodded carelessly, not worried about this at all.
In fact, Ding Jie's conditions are not bad at all. She has good appearance and a voice that is rare among female singers. Her characteristics are very distinctive. What she lacks is opportunities.
There are so many songs in my memory, and I can sing a few of them. Besides, the style doesn’t suit me, so I might as well give it to the people around me, which would be the best use of it.
The two of them ate for more than an hour before leaving. They took a taxi to take Ding Jie back to her residence, and Ye Zhiqiu returned to the hotel.
And that night, the third episode of "Sing a New Voice" - a 24-hour creative program, was also officially broadcast.
As the title song of the new Diamond Record, "The Wind Rises" has been at the top of the new song chart for two weeks, and the album sales of the same name have exceeded 1.4 million copies.
Not only Huahai Entertainment, but also the entire music industry is numb. After the reputation of "The Wind Rises" rose, its staying power was unimaginable. Although sales have slowed down slightly now, judging from this trend, it has reached 2 million two-star diamond albums.
Achievement is not impossible.
Once this idea came up, Huahai Entertainment couldn't sit still.
Two-star diamond, although Yu Caiwei is still young, for any singer, this may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you don't work hard now, wait until later.
Therefore, Yu Caiwei once again participated in intensive publicity and development activities.
In the past, due to Yu Caiwei's laziness, it was only held in megacities such as Shangjing and Huahai. But now, in order to increase sales, Huahai has held publicity and development conferences in other cities with larger populations.
Yu Caiwei was so busy that she was running around all over China, so Ye Zhiqiu naturally didn't have time to travel in the business class and returned to Huahai City alone.
The moment I got off the plane and turned on my phone, I was flooded with information.
Family members, classmates, Li Su, Ding Jie and other contestants were all talking about the same thing - the previous night's program.
Not surprisingly, Ye Zhiqiu became popular again.
On Weibo, the number one trending search was not the name of the song, but the words "The Inside Story of "Singing a New Voice"".
Most netizens are complaining about Ye Zhiqiu's treatment.
"Shady, absolutely shady! The show crew is so shameless!"
"The worst creative room, the first place in the order of appearance, this is too obvious!"
"What on earth are the program crew thinking that they would do this to a popular contestant?"
In fact, Ye Zhiqiu is also a little strange. In this episode, he clearly felt the malice from the program team.
However, in the fourth episode, the attitude of the program crew made a 180-degree turn, and they obeyed their own requests for piano, backup dancers, etc., which was completely opposite to the attitude of the previous episode.
However, Ye Zhiqiu was too lazy to dig into it. The second most searched item was the song "Someone Like Me".
Not surprisingly, almost all of them received praise.
"This song breaks my heart."
"I feel like I'm being watched. Isn't this song about me?"
"I am not willing to be ordinary, but I can only be ordinary. Alas, my life has been like this for more than 20 years."
"First place again, Ye Zhiqiu's strength is obviously one level higher than other players."
"I'm very curious, how did Wang Nanchen have the courage to issue a declaration of war? I can't wait for the results of the fourth period."
But in "The Dream of Nine Billion Girls", the topics discussed by fans are completely different.
"Have you finished recording the fourth period? I don't care about the result. Is the author really present?"
"Excuse me, have you found anyone suspicious of the dog author?"
"I was at the scene. The competition was so exciting that I couldn't tell the results because of a confidentiality agreement. As for the author, I don't know what he looks like and I really can't recognize him."
Chapter completed!
