Chapter 122 Interests, Position Issues
Xiao Mo came to Zhao Mengen's birthday party, and of course he didn't come empty-handedly.
He prepared a gift for Zhao Mengen, a relatively special gift.
That's a new song-
"I took a photo of the special decoration of the street shop~
Come and record drinking coffee and chatting and basking in the sun~
Take a picture of me and you watching the sunset dam ~
To keep your view ~
Every moment I capture has something to say~
Listen to the photos and whispering on your shoulders~
Every footprint on the beach is returned to the waves~
It can be taken away by the sunlight and not by the beauty..."
A simple and beautiful new song.
After singing the song, Xiao Mo put down the guitar and faced the gaze of the girls around him. He turned his head to look at Zhao Mengen beside him.
"I've heard your cover list, this style of new songs, you should like it more."
Xiao Mo thought for a while and said, "I don't know what girls like, nor do I know what gifts you like, but seeing that you like singing very much on weekdays, I wrote a song for you, hoping you can like it."
"Give it to me?"
Zhao Mengen was a little caught off guard: "Do you want to sing for me?"
"yes."
Xiao Mo nodded: "The copyright of this song is registered in [Miracle Entertainment Company], and a full copyright free authorization will be issued at that time... To put it simply, this song will be yours in the future. You are the original singer and the only singer with commercial copyright."
"this……"
Zhao Mengen is still a little confused. She never expected that Xiao Mo would give him such a gift.
She quickly reacted and said seriously: "Senior Brother Xiao, I will definitely try my best to sing this song well, thank you, brother."
She really likes this song.
It doesn't sound complicated, and it's very simple in terms of rhythm and lyrics, but this simple and beautiful style makes people linger.
Especially that part of it—
"Every moment is a little eternal, and every romantic plot in the photo is worth remembering; it is the little eternal we love. In the moment of happiness, you secretly put your face in my ears and said that you really like me..."
That kind of simple and beautiful thing like her first love is her favorite music style.
Zhao Mengen took a deep breath and asked, "Senior Brother Xiao, what is the name of this song?"
Xiao Mo smiled: "The song is called... "Little Forever".
...
After Zhao Mengen's birthday party, Xiao Mo once again started filming and practicing singing.
Perhaps because the next round of "The Masked Singer" is about to begin, Li Yiran has come less often because she also has to prepare for the competition seriously.
after all--
Zhou Momo is also a lifelong enemy who competes on the same stage. She doesn't want to lose to Zhou Momo.
A few days later, Xiao Mo decided to go to the company to record the new song in advance so that he could continue to gain popularity in the second episode of "The King of Masked Singer".
But when he came to the company, he met an acquaintance.
"Good morning, Senior Brother Xiao."
Zhao Mengen was chatting with the staff in the recording studio. When she saw Xiao Mo coming, she hurried over to say hello.
Her bright and sunny smile looked quite healing and relieved.
"Why are you here?"
Xiao Mo was a little surprised.
In his perception, Zhao Mengen rarely comes to [Miracle Entertainment], and it is mainly because nothing is wrong.
The place where he gets along the most with Zhao Mengen is the only crew of "Soul Ferry". Apart from that, there are no other cooperative projects.
"I……"
Zhao Mengen blinked, hesitated for two seconds, and whispered: "I'll record songs. I just signed an agency contract with the company. From now on, I will be an artist under [Miracle Entertainment]."
"Agent contract?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mo frowned: "How did you think of signing an agent with me?"
As far as he knows—
Among the "Seven Majors" in the Qinzhou entertainment industry, at least three of them have sent invitations to Zhao Mengen, but Zhao Mengen declined all of them, as if they are not interested in joining the entertainment industry for the time being.
But now, she actually signed her agency contract with [Miracle Entertainment], a small company that has just been established... She didn't want a bright future, but came to take this risk, which made Xiao Mo really unable to understand.
For newcomers like Zhao Mengen who have not yet made their debut, although the contracts of large companies are a little more demanding, the resources that large companies can give to newcomers are also very large, which is countless times stronger than those small companies with shortage of resources.
“The competition in big companies is too cruel, I don’t like it.”
Zhao Mengen said lazily: "I think the company is smaller and the competitive pressure is relatively smaller. This is quite good, and it suits my personality of just waiting to die."
Eat and wait to die?
Xiao Mo nodded calmly. On the surface, he seemed to agree very much, but he didn't think so in his heart. This girl was very serious when filming on the crew. She seemed to always be passionate and resilience, and never feared hardship. This was not like the work attitude that people who "stop and wait for death" should have.
"You've signed a contract?"
Xiao Mo asked.
“It’s been signed for several days.”
Zhao Mengen pouted: "I originally wanted to wait for you to come to the company to give you a surprise, but I have been checking in for several days and haven't seen you..."
"Ahem."
Xiao Mo felt a little embarrassed.
Although he is the boss of the company, he really has nothing to do in the company. It’s the same whether he comes or not. He is used to sleeping until he wakes up naturally... Anyway, he is very Buddhist.
The colleagues in the company have always been used to his days when he was not in the company. Xiao Mo is too lazy to come over when he is fine, and he is too lazy to care about the company's daily business progress.
This also led to Zhao Mengen signing a contract for several days and coming to check in every day, but she didn't see him once.
"Then you can record the songs well."
Xiao Mo thought for a while and said, "I'll go to the office to handle something."
...
Xiao Mo did not go to his office, but went to Shen Ru's side.
Shen Ru had just held a meeting and discussed the promotional matters of the online drama "Soul Ferry" with the company's publicity department. She just came back from her busy schedule.
"What's going on with Zhao Mengen?"
Xiao Mo asked directly: "How could she sign in with our company?"
“Is there any problem with signing in with our company?”
Shen Ru asked without answering a question.
Xiao Mo: "…"
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I know, you may think that Zhao Mengen has good conditions in all aspects and has the talent to be involved in the entertainment industry. It is a bit useless to come to a small company like ours."
Shen Ru said slowly: "From Zhao Mengen's standpoint, it is true that she is better able to realize her potential and have a better chance of success when she goes to a large company. In a small company, she will not be able to develop well due to lack of resources, lack of operational capabilities, and lack of training mechanisms...
But don't forget that we are running a company now.
The company is not a studio, and it is impossible to develop around you forever. The company also needs to recruit more artists so that it can slowly develop into a large company...
And an outstanding newcomer like Zhao Mengen is a very valuable opportunity for our company.
If we can promote Zhao Mengen, we can use her as a publicity stunt to attract more outstanding talents to join the company, thus forming a virtuous cycle and being qualified to compete with large companies.
I hope that when you think about things, you can consider and measure more from the company's perspective, rather than from the perspective of friends.
The entertainment industry is a very realistic place. Only when you become stronger can you be respected and have the energy to talk about loyalty and feelings...
And now you and I are far from reaching this level.
Do you understand what I mean?"
“…”
