30 Fish, 3 Ways to Eat
Holy crap!
Even Zhao Gang, who had seen the world with his father, was so shocked by these conditions that he swore!
Kai Zi, standing to the side, was also stunned. He turned to look at Zhao Lu, then back at Zheng Ning, feeling as if something extremely absurd had happened!
It's important to understand that for a song to achieve high sales, it generally needs company packaging and promotion.
Otherwise, it will end up like "Rice Fragrance" now, where no matter how high the quality, it is stuck at number 13. It lacks the support to climb higher and may even be overtaken by songs from other companies.
However, with continuous financial support from the company, it is indeed possible to reach hundreds of thousands or even millions of sales!
If it sells well, it's not impossible for it to reach millions of downloads, just like some of the top stars in the entertainment industry!
This is just the revenue from song downloads!
Concert or other commercial performance income is the main source of revenue for officially managed singers with company support.
That's so high it's unimaginable!
"Holy crap, man, you've struck it rich! You've really struck it rich this time!"
Zhu Kai looked at the contract in Zhao Gang's hand as if he were seeing a stack of gold bricks, and his eyes began to shine!
"Indeed, this contract..."
After hearing Zhao Lu's words, Zheng Ning was deeply moved. Although he did not immediately agree, his heart was in turmoil and he was extremely surprised.
Thank goodness I didn't agree to that guy's name, Niu something!
Writing songs behind the scenes doesn't earn nearly as much as being a singer, and it's nowhere near as glamorous as being a star!
Just as the three were having a great time, Zhao Lu dropped another bombshell!
"This is just the treatment for singers. We also plan to invite you to be a contracted composer and lyricist for the company. Here are the contracts for these two jobs. You and your friends can take a look."
Zhao Lu then took out two stacks of A4 paper from her briefcase and handed them over.
Zheng Ning accepted the two new contracts, and the shock on his face could no longer be concealed!
Three surprises, three huge surprises!
I originally thought that I was already incredibly lucky to be able to become a professional singer and have this career as a celebrity.
Who knew the other party would be so sincere, even assigning me tasks for writing lyrics and composing music separately? Isn't that...?
Three ways to cook a fish?
That's incredibly sincere!
Thinking back to that arrogant guy surnamed Niu's attitude and the handout-like signing terms...
Zheng Ning felt that there was really no comparison between people.
He turned to look at Zhao Gang, who was reviewing the contract with a serious expression. Zhao Gang gave him a subtle look of approval, but at the same time stopped him from speaking.
"Well then, Ms. Zhao Lu, thank you very much for providing these contracts, but my friend plans to have a professional review them. We'll get back to you within two days. Is that alright?"
"Of course, it's Mr. Zheng's personal freedom. Oh, by the way, I heard that Mr. Zheng will be performing here for the second time tonight? Then I can finally enjoy a good show live."
……
The three-hour performance ended quickly.
Zheng Ning sang 12 songs, all of which are currently the most popular hits on Earth, including her own songs "Rice Fragrance" and "Chengdu".
"Clap clap clap..."
After receiving enthusiastic cheers and applause from the audience, Zhao Lu squeezed through the crowd back to her booth. She stood up and clapped solemnly.
"Mr. Zheng is truly talented. Not only is his healing song 'Rice Fragrance' so well-written, but he can also effortlessly create sentimental love songs and folk ballads like 'Chengdu.' I look forward to Mr. Zheng shining brightly at Feiyang Entertainment even more."
……
"So, Ningzi, what do you think? Do you think Feiyang Entertainment is a good option?"
Zhao Lu had a busy day, rushing to catch a plane, taking a taxi, and then spending three hours listening to Zheng Ning sing. She was already exhausted and went back to the hotel to rest.
After he left, the three night owls huddled together and started a heated discussion.
"I think it's a good idea, Ningzi. The conditions they offered are already quite generous!"
Upon hearing Zhao Gang's question, Zhu Kai hurriedly chimed in from the side.
"I think it's a good idea too, Gangzi. Do you think this contract is okay?"
Zheng Ning clasped his hands together, trying his best to suppress the excitement in his heart.
My dad wanted to be a singer, and he dreamed of it his whole life, but he never achieved it.
Yet, at the tender age of 20, he received a summons from two of the Big Three…
This sounds a bit like science fiction!
"I've taken a quick look, and it seems fine. Here's what we'll do: tomorrow I'll have my dad's lawyer come over and review it for you. I guarantee you won't suffer any losses or be scammed!"
"Okay, that's settled then. Thank you, Gangzi."
"Hey guys, let's not talk about this!"
……
On the evening of the third day, at 8 o'clock.
It was in the same small tavern in Wuliqiao, at this booth.
Tonight is Zheng Ning's third performance of the week, which was arranged beforehand.
The three of them got together again.
"My dad's lawyer spent two days carefully reviewing your case. There were no traps. The terms they offered were very clear, and there were no hidden pitfalls."
Zhao Gang handed the three contracts back to Zheng Ning, and at the same time nodded to Zhu Kai next to him, indicating that he could rest assured.
"Alright, in that case, let's inform Zhao Lu that we can sign the contract now."
Zheng Ning accepted the contract with peace of mind and nodded in satisfaction. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
After being notified to come and sign the contract, he once again slung his guitar over his shoulder and stepped onto the half-meter-high performance stage in the pub.
All three knew that this might be his last time singing here.
After all, he's about to become a professional singer, so how could he waste his talent in such a small place?
It was amidst Zheng Ning's melodious and clear singing voice.
Looking refreshed, Zhao Lu, wearing her flat leather shoes and still dressed in a smart white casual suit, squeezed through the crowd.
"Greetings, both of you."
She nodded politely to the two of them, then sat down at their invitation and looked at Zheng Ning, who was performing energetically on stage.
He is playing and singing his second song, "Chengdu".
The singing voice is soft and slightly melancholic, gentle yet powerful.
The audience was completely captivated, and she herself couldn't help but take out her phone and start snapping pictures of him on stage.
"Ding!"
This is Zheng Ning's last song tonight.
The moment the song ended, a clear, crisp sound appeared in his mind.
"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission 'A First Try'!"
"The mission reward is now being awarded: a random treasure chest. Please check it, host!"
