Chapter 160: Le Yun's Journey (Part 1)
"There are so many companies."
Gan Yanyu murmured.
Lin Tian leaned out of the window and looked out, and found that the car entered a wide road. On the side of the road, there were many brokerage company buildings standing on the road.
Xingyao Media, Huacai Records, Smart Star, Good News Records. At a glance, many of them are names that even people like Lin Tian who don’t pay attention to the entertainment industry have heard of.
It seems that the title of Internet celebrity city is not in vain. Qingzhou City’s entertainment industry is really very developed.
"Lin Tian, look at that."
Gan Yanyu shook Lin Tian's hand and pointed out the window.
Lin Tian looked in the direction of the girl's finger.
On a tall building, the three characters [SYC] are particularly eye-catching.
"Oh, this company is here too."
In the early days, Lin Tian accidentally met the enthusiastic uncle Zhong Wei'an from this company, which enabled him, a high school student, to have good equipment to shoot videos from the beginning.
To a certain extent, this uncle was kind to Lin Tian.
After Gan Yanyu spent 100,000 yuan in pocket money from his parents, Lin Tian replaced all the equipment with new ones and returned the original equipment to his uncle.
In order to express his gratitude, Lin Tian treated the uncle to a meal when he was returning the equipment.
I originally considered giving some money as the rental fee, but considering that the uncle is not short of this money, and if money transactions are mixed, the story of Xiao He and Han Xin will change. Lin Tian gave up.
"Why, has Teacher Lin Tian ever had contact with this company?"
Hearing Lin Tian's emotional tone, He Zhichen asked.
"Well, their company's music director has lent us equipment before."
"Zhong Wei'an!"
As expected of someone who plays with big data, He Zhichen said the uncle's name right away.
Lin Tian asked: "Do you know him?"
"Everyone in Qingzhou who is working in this industry should know him. SYC's music director was also a professional manager in the early days. Many well-known music artists in SYC were produced by him. Later, he was promoted along the way and became a professional manager four years ago. He is the music director of SYC, a very powerful person.”
"I see."
"How do you know Teacher Lin Tian?"
“I met him at a restaurant where I was working, and he asked me if I wanted to consider becoming a professional musician. At that time, I had not yet started Douyin, and I had no such idea.”
"Well, you're right to say no."
"How to say?"
Lin Tian became interested. He also wanted to know how He Zhichen, as a competitor, would evaluate the company SYC.
"Haha, what else can you say about this kind of thing? It's nothing more than a classic method commonly used by big companies like SYC. How many potential newcomers are signed in one go, and then only one or two people can successfully become popular, and the others are not Xue Zang, just how miserable his life is, etc. Anyway, such things are no longer a secret in the eyes of the public, right?" He Zhichen said with a smile.
"I see."
Lin Tian was quite surprised that He Zhichen could say it so frankly.
Indeed, at that time, Lin Tian had not released any works and had not gained any popularity. He could only be said to have "empty talent" but no real capital. If you choose to sign the contract at that time, there is a high probability that you will be sold at a low price.
Maybe he won't be reduced to the "how miserable" appearance in the story, but he will probably become a leek.
"What about your company?" Lin Tian asked.
He Zhichen commented on SYC in this way. Is it possible that Leyun is a clean company since they are both a music management company?
"This kind of thing is inevitable in this industry. In fact, it's something you and I want to do. It's just to see who does it more decently. But I still want to say that Leyun is indeed better than most companies in this regard. Decent.”
Speaking of this, He Zhichen's voice suddenly became serious:
"Actually, I don't like to talk about these things myself. Capital pursues profits, but compared to cold data, I prefer to talk about dreams."
As He Zhichen's words fell.
Lin Tian felt a shaking in the car.
The car stepped over the speed bump and entered a gate with the characters "Leyun Brokerage Co., Ltd." engraved on it.
Entering the gate, in front of you is a tall building that looks a bit dated.
The car stopped and several people got out of the car.
Lin Tian turned his head and noticed that outside the gate, some young heads were shaking their heads, looking like they were about to move, not knowing what they were watching.
Similarly, on the way here just now, Lin Tian also saw heads like this at the door of many brokerage companies, mostly children in middle and high school.
"Come to chase stars."
He Zhichen said very directly.
For star fans, being able to see their favorite celebrities is enough to satisfy them for a long time.
On weekends and holidays, a group of people like this always gather at the entrance of these brokerage companies. They may wait for a whole day and may not be able to see the idol they want to see, but they still feel that this is a very valuable thing. Meaningful things can gain sufficient emotional value even in the waiting process.
Sometimes, Lin Tian is quite envious of these star-chasers.
Because they only need to draft an idol for themselves, and they can easily absorb the emotional value they want from it. Even just a glimpse of it can make you happy for several days.
In comparison, the average person may need to win the rankings for a whole day, or save money for several months to buy what they want, before they can obtain the same emotional value.
At this time, the young people gathered outside the door saw Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu getting out of the car. They were surprised by the unfamiliar faces of the two people and whispered to each other.
Judging from his appearance, he looks like a new and popular artist, but he doesn't impress him at all.
Although they were not sure, many people took out their mobile phones and took pictures of the two of them from a distance, fearing that they might be a big star, for fear of missing any possible opportunity.
Lin Tian naturally blocked the position behind Gan Yanyu and turned his back to him.
"Let's go." He Zhichen said.
The three of them entered the building. In the lobby on the first floor, a smartly dressed lady with her hair tied up hurriedly came out and greeted the three of them.
"Hello!"
The lady said hello.
"Brother Chen, these two."
Later, when she saw Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, the lady showed some doubts and uncertainty.
"Teacher Lin Tian and Teacher Gan Yanyu - [Moonlight and Cat] on Douyin."
He Zhichen introduced.
"They are Moonlight and the Cat himself?!"
The lady showed surprise and looked at the two people in disbelief.
"So young!"
"Let me introduce, this is the deputy general manager of our company, Pu Yidan." He Zhichen said.
"Hello, Teacher Pu."
Gan Yanyu nodded politely.
"So good."
Pu Yidan showed a doting look like an old aunt, with a Sichuan accent.
"Good" is the highest praise for a cute person in Kawachi, including recognition of appearance.
When He Zhichen told her that he would bring Yueguang and the cat over today, Pu Yidan was shocked.
As a recently popular music celebrity, it is said that no one has seen his true face. In order to welcome this meeting, Pu Yidan made full preparations, hoping to leave some good impressions in front of the two teachers.
But the moment after seeing it, Pu Yidan still thought that he was not prepared enough.
