Chapter Thirty-Six: Why don't you give it a shot?

Zeng Suwen's popularity in Taipei was unexpected by everyone. First of all, the quality of the three songs [Notepad] [Missing] [Dunning] is naturally needless to say. Even in the Baodao music scene where talents are booming, these three songs are classics, and it is not surprising that they will become popular at all.

However, what Zhou Xing and Zeng Suwen did not expect was that Lao Li, known as the godfather of music, was seen by the media at the end of last night's concert. During the interview, Lao Li gave high praise to all three songs.

You should know that Lao Li is famously arrogant and is famously strict in treating music. These three songs can actually get such high praise from him, which immediately attracted many entertainment media to report. For a moment, the name Zhou Xing was gradually well known to the vast number of Baodao music fans.

Anli also flew to Baodao specially. She didn't expect that just being a guest for the role would cause such a big deal.

Moreover, many music companies in Baodao also took a fancy to Zhou Xing's singing and writing skills and strongly invited her to discuss cooperation. The Warner Records behind Zeng Suwen also threw out an olive branch, so she naturally did not dare to neglect.

"Basically, there are two choices. One is Rolling Stone Records. You know that this company is strong, but it has many singers under its jurisdiction. The conditions given can only be said to be average. Warner Records has more favorable conditions. However, the personnel changes in this company in the past few years have caused great damage. Now, except for Axiu, there are no singers who can show off, and their market share is extremely shrinking."

anli handed the two documents to Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing flipped it around and put it aside: "Sister anli, what about your suggestions?"

anli shrugged: "Rolling Stones are at their peak now, so it is natural to choose Rolling Stones. However, Warner is a multinational company after all, and many of the resources on its hands are incomparable to Rolling Stones. I heard that they have made great moves on Treasure Island and the Mainland recently. In terms of diversified development, I suggest choosing Warner."

"Then choose Warner." In fact, what really touched Zhou Xing was not the resources of Warner Records multinational companies, but the trend of developing to the mainland. Whether it is Xiangjiang or Baodao, the entertainment industry has developed to its limit. To put it bluntly, the cake has been divided, and the cake in the mainland market has not yet been made, so sooner or later he will go back.

"Okay, I will arrange for you to sign the contract as soon as possible." Anli nodded, and just as he was about to leave, he thought of another question: "Do you have any requirements for the contract conditions?"

Zhou Xing thought for a while: "Everything else can be compromised. The only thing is that I am not a professional singer. I can't limit the number of times I have to release records every year, and I have concerts or something."

"Oh, okay." Anli sighed. In fact, in her opinion, being a singer is not necessarily worse than acting, and the popularity of the song is incomparable to film and television. Being an actor may take a long time to become famous, but as long as one song becomes popular, it is enough for a lifetime to eat.

Warner was also helpless about Zhou Xing's conditions, but whoever made Warner lacked people now could only agree in the end.

Three days later, Zhou Xing's first ep came out, and he included three songs he created: Notepad, Missed, and Dusk. Among them, the "missed" version is a completely different style from Zeng Suwen's girl version.

It was indeed a little rushed in three days. The quality of the ep can only be considered average, but there is no way to grab time from the pirated version, otherwise the money will be earned by the pirated version.

In addition, it has to be said that Warner's resources are still good. Not only did they promote ep, but they also helped Zhou Xing get his first advertising endorsement in his life.

Tiedashi, a Swiss watch industry, is not a high-end luxury product, and is relatively affordable. In the early years, it also invited many celebrity endorsements. The advertising slogan "I don't care about eternity, I only care about my former possession" was once popular.

The endorsement fee offered to Zhou Xing is not high, 500,000 yuan a year, but this money is equivalent to being used for nothing. Just shoot a few advertisements and then attend some offline events.

For this reason, Warner also packaged Zhou Xing as the little king of the music scene in the Hong Kong music industry. This title is no matter how low it is, but people only take this one. On the surface, Zhou Xing's performance can barely afford this title. After all, he was the male lead in the box office in 2000. His first newly released ep, and his sales exceeded 100,000 in one month. With such data, he is a very amphibious and versatile artist.

It is precisely because of his optimism about Zhou Xing's future that Tieda Times agreed to let Zhou Xing endorse the contract. The contract was signed for three years at one time, and the statement fee increased by 20% per year, which is considered a contract that both parties can accept.

"Okay, that's it, it's so handsome. Brother Xing, let's change a set of clothes and do it again." The photographer smiled all over his face.

But anli said, "Let's rest for a while, I bought milk tea and invite everyone to drink."

Zhou Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, I was a little uncomfortable when I first filmed an advertisement. The camera spotlight made him dazzled, and I had to do one posture countless times and change countless sets of clothes. I would feel tired.

"Huh, sister anli, I really admire those models now. How did you persist in such a boring job?"

Anli smiled and handed him a bottle of mineral water: "At work, there are not so many interesting things. Isn't it all for life? Isn't it enough to make money to support myself?"

"Sister Anli, you have been an agent for so many years, shouldn't you be short of money? Why are you still doing this business?"

"Probably... it's because I like it."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Yes, when they first entered the entertainment industry, many newcomers thought this industry was brilliant and beautiful, surrounded by flowers, applause, and spotlights. However, in fact, only a few people could survive. If they didn't really like it, who could do such high-intensity work for decades?

If it’s just for money, there is no need to make the first pot of gold and there are many artists who do business.

"Sister anli, have you ever had any video invitations recently?" For Zhou Xing, acting is his favorite thing to do.

anli sighed: "I knew you would ask this, don't worry, Brother Feng's new drama is about to start filming, and the role must be chosen by you first."

In fact, to be honest, Brother Feng has already prepared this drama, but the box office of the movie [Black Storm] was not high, which led to the industry's doubts about him. Some investors also took advantage of the excuse to shirk him. Fortunately, Brother Feng made a beautiful turnaround battle, and the investment will naturally come in place soon.

After returning home from the studio, Zhou Xing could finally take a breath, glance at the fan value, and found that it had increased to 85,000, which was considered as a music package that had not been exchanged for vacancies.
