Treant's Earth Survival Manual

Chapter 8 Familiar Breath

"Director Lin."

Qiao Rong opened the door and entered the director's office, and greeted the middle-aged man sitting behind the desk with an extremely serious expression.

"A Rong, you are here, sit down."

Director Lin Yulin, who has always been serious about others, softened the expression on his face when he saw this young man who had personally made the decision to sign in to the company.

He asked before that people must be signed into the company, mainly for the rare natural voice of young people.It's a pity that he couldn't wait to attract people into the company, but he forgot that the company he was in was not a place that could accommodate "nature".

Thinking of this, Lin Yu felt a little guilty—he still missed this rare voice...

Qiao Rong sat down where the other party pointed, quietly waiting for the other party to continue talking.

In fact, he still has some good feelings for this seemingly extremely strict director.He could tell that Director Lin is indeed a master in music production, and he has also given him a lot of help in vocal skills. He is a rare practical person in this company.

It's just that this time he might have to let down the other party's hard work...

"A Rong, well, I won't play around with you either! What do you think of the company's intention to renew the contract?" Lin Yu cut to the chase, and after Qiao Rong sat in front of him, poured a glass of water and handed it to him, then directly asked.

"Director Lin... you're being too tactful, aren't you?"

Qiao Rong couldn't help laughing. He was sure that Lin Yu was pleasing to his eyes, so he simply handed over the matter to Lin Yu and asked him to talk to him directly?

"I can't learn that, so you can just say it, we can discuss any conditions."

Lin Yu was over half a century old, and he was upright, so he really couldn't say anything euphemistic.But it was his attitude of spreading the matter out and talking about it, which made Qiao Rong's originally suffocating heart feel better, and he was in the mood to continue talking.

"Okay, then I won't say much, as long as the company can guarantee three things, I will continue to sign with Xingyao." Qiao Rong stretched out three fingers and shook them.

"Okay, tell me."

"The first thing is, you have to make sure that you don't arrange any messy wine bureaus and the like. I will obey the arrangements for normal parties, but for the rest, you don't have to hand me the posts."

"No problem! I can guarantee this."

Lin Yu readily agreed. Anyway, Shining Star Entertainment did not dare to offend the members of the Yu family, and has not arranged such a thing in the past two years.After the contract was renewed, as long as the higher-ups didn't put pressure on such things, he would definitely not let them go, so it wasn't a problem.

"Okay, then the second one." Qiao Rong nodded and continued, "The company must ensure that it will not deliberately suppress my development, such as the single that has not been seen for a long time."

"This... This is indeed our problem. I promise, as long as you renew your contract, the single will be delivered to you within a month." Lin Yu promised with some embarrassment.

That single was agreed two years ago, but because of the incident between Qiao Rong and Ren Yu, the company has been delaying and not fulfilling the promise.Of course, apart from their own reluctance to offend the Ren family, which is a big player in the entertainment industry, the dissatisfaction of the upper management of Shining Star Entertainment with Qiao Rong's disobedience to the arrangement was also a reason.

Qiao Rong didn't care about Lin Yu's embarrassment. He had long been dissatisfied with Xingyao's way of deliberately suppressing disobedient artists and restricting their future development. This time, he just mentioned it emphatically.However, the most important thing is the third condition.

"Then the last condition, if you can guarantee it, I will immediately sign a contract extension with you."

"Okay, tell me."

"Before I speak, I would like to ask the company to explain the Ren family's frequent actions recently, and the so-called 'Little Qiaorong' incident. This shouldn't be too much, right?"

Seeing that Qiao Rong suddenly asked these two questions before putting forward the last condition, Lin Yu was a little dazed for a while, and murmured back.

"The Ren family? What did the Ren family do? Why don't I know?"

After Qiao Rong asked the question, he kept observing the other party's expression carefully. After seeing that Lin Yu was indeed confused, he didn't hold on to the matter of the Ren family, and instead proposed another person.

"The Ren family doesn't care, what happened to 'Little Qiao Rong'?"

"This one……"

Lin Yu was stuck, his mouth was open and he didn't know how to explain.

"Can't explain? Then let me explain. The company is afraid that I won't renew the contract, so they want to cultivate another artist, and then take advantage of my value, so they make a debut under such a name. Let me spend more time next time." Newcomers or something, when I quit Xingyao, you will directly ruin my reputation, so that your newcomers can continue to climb smoothly, right?"

Qiao Rong sneered, and made the plan of the higher-ups clear, the anger in his heart burst out again.

It's not that he brags. As far as the current music scene is not very prosperous, his so-called natural voice, which turned out to be a debut, is indeed quite famous.Apart from the singers of the older generation, among the singers of the new generation, only he is the most popular and has the largest fan base.If he can be stepped down, and then take advantage of this shareholder wind, Xingyao will not be a problem at all to cultivate another new star.

Lin Yu's face changed when Qiao Rong explained.After he finished speaking, Lin Yu's expression became even more ugly.

After being speechless for several times, Lin Yu looked at the mocking young man, finally sighed, and gave up: "Forget it, I won't force you, you can go on your own in the future."

In fact, after Qiao Rong vented his anger, he looked at Lin Yu, who was a bit slumped, and felt a little guilty in his heart-in general, Lin Yu can't be blamed for these things, and he, the director of Xingyao, can't do whatever he says. defy.He still sent the wrong person today.

"Brother Lin...I'm sorry, I got a little angry today and lost my temper with you."

Qiao Rong stood up, refilled Lin Yu's glass with water, and apologized.

"There's nothing I'm sorry about. It's really our fault to hide these things from you."

Lin Yu took the water, waved his hand feebly and said, "As the music director of Shining Star, I can only tell you that you are still an artist of Shining Star before the end of the contract, so you still have to follow the company's arrangement. A simple musician..."

"I hope you find your next record company soon, don't bury your talent, and truly bring good music to everyone!"

……

When Qiao Rong walked out of the director's office, he was still thinking about what Lin Yu said, and he was in a daze.It wasn't until he turned a blind eye to Fang Yan who was waiting on the side and walked forward in a daze, but was grabbed by someone, that Qiao Rong regained his composure and noticed the anxious voice of his manager.

"... What's wrong with you? Lost your soul? Drugged? Are you okay?" Fang Yan wanted to pat the young man's face while talking, trying to wake him up with pain.

When his hand was about to touch Qiao Rong's face, Qiao Rong finally came to his senses, grabbed the hand that was trying to take advantage of the fire, and said in a low voice, "What are you thinking?! There are surveillance cameras in the office, who can monitor them?" Are you doing something stupid?"

"Hey hey, that's good, that's good." Fang Yanquietly withdrew his hand, trying to fool around with a dry smile.

"Okay, I already know what the director means. Are we going to meet the regional director of Hera Perfume next? Is there still time?"

Qiao Rong pretended not to be ignorant of the other party's tricks, and changed the subject to ask.

"Ah, that's no problem. Hera Perfume's headquarters in City H is not far from the company. We can get there within half an hour, so we have plenty of time." When it comes to his job, Fang Yan is still very professional and takes care of everything. Well organized.

"Then let's go first, it's not good to be late."

"Alright, by the way, let me tell you about the news I just received."

"Okay, let's talk as we go."

"Um……"

On the way, Fang Yan briefly told Qiao Rong about the inheritance history of Hera perfume and why he was chosen for the commercial.

According to the information obtained by Fang Yan, the hera perfume series has been passed down for a long time, and the traceable time can be traced back for hundreds of years.Originally, they had been inviting popular artists from Jingyao Entertainment to shoot corresponding commercials, promotional videos, etc., but because they launched a pure herbal fragrance this time, most people in the company tended to use new faces to endorse them.After several rounds of screening, Qiao Rong, who was the most popular in the market and had the most suitable image, was selected, so the invitation was handed over to Fang Yan.

"...So, they haven't decided to use me for the shoot yet, have they?" Qiao Rong asked in a low voice as he had already arrived at the headquarters of Hera perfume.

"Almost, so you will behave well later, don't lose the chain." Fang Yan also quietly replied.

"I'll try my best..." Qiao Rong twitched her brows, reluctantly reassuring.

Obviously, Fang Yan was not very satisfied with his reluctant tone: "What do you mean by trying your best?! You must perform well! Try to pass on the spot!"

"...Okay, I'll try my best."

The corners of Qiao Rong's mouth twitched even more. Could it be that Fang Yan didn't remember how miserable he was when he filmed the MV the last few times?Where does the confidence come from for him...

"Hmph, remember what you said, you have to pass!" Fang Yan looked at the open door not far away, and finally said viciously, "Think about how you felt when you were successful in filming the MV, first pretend to be a little bit more like you !"

Qiao Rong was powerless to speak, so he nodded, indicating that he understood what he meant.

——I hope I can perform supernormally, Mother Tree blesses you.

After training his unmotivated artist, Fang Yan turned around and smiled again, and greeted the man who also stood up.

"Director Han! Oh, I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting for a long time. We're to blame for being late."

"Hey, we came early. The appointment time has not yet arrived. How can it be late? By the way, my daughter is a loyal fan of your Qiao Rong. You must leave me an autograph later." Han Han Qing, the director and the person in charge of the publicity department of hera perfume, said enthusiastically with a smile on his face.

"Sure, you've already said that, how could I not give you face? You can ask for a few autographs later, hahaha."

After Fang Yan exchanged pleasantries with the other party for a while, he started talking about serious matters.

"As soon as you invited me this time, I brought my Qiao Rong over here. Don't be too embarrassing later, my Qiao Rong is just a singer, not very good at acting."

"Of course, we chose your Qiao Rong this time mainly because of his singing voice. The whole commercial has little performance and is mainly about his job. Don't worry."

"Hahaha, that's great. We, Qiao Rong, are still very competent in our job. Don't worry."

"Then shall we try it now?"

"Okay, let's try it first." Fang Yan heaved a sigh of relief when he knew that he didn't need to perform too much, turned around and waved to Qiao Rong, "Come here, Rong, Director Han said to give it a try first."

Qiao Rong, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, could only reluctantly introduce himself after hearing his manager's greeting, "Hi, Director Han, it's the first time we meet, I'm Qiao Rong."

Han Qing had noticed the young man beside Fang Yan before.There is no need to choose the appearance, it is definitely enough to be photogenic, the key is the temperament, it is perfect, it is perfect for the theme of their perfume, and as long as the voice meets the requirements...

Just as he was thinking about it, Han Qing's eyes lit up when he heard the young man's voice saying hello.

— that's the voice!brilliant!

"Hello, hello, then what, shall we sing a cappella live? Or shall we go to the recording studio for an audition?"

Eh?Didn't you say...the audition?

Qiao Rong was a little dazed, and subconsciously looked at Fang Yan, waiting for him to communicate with him.

"Director Han, the audition you mentioned earlier...does it mean singing?" Fang Yan was also stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized it within a moment, suppressed the joy in his heart, and asked.

"That's right, the main requirement for our selection this time is that the singing voice should fit our theme, so we only need to sing a paragraph." Han Qing nodded and replied, his eyes were still looking at Qiao Rong who was silent at the side. , very regrettable.

"Ah, then let's sing a short part on the spot, and don't bother going to the recording studio." Fang Yan, who received an affirmative answer, immediately agreed with a smile on his face, and agreed in a hurry.

"Then I'll sing a short piece of "Pear Blossom Falling" (Note [-])?" Qiao Rong asked politely after receiving a signal from her manager.

"Okay, "Pear Blossom Falling" is a bit similar to our theme, very good." Han Qing responded simply, raising his hand to signal——

Please!

After clearing his throat, Qiao Rong opened his mouth slightly, and a lingering song of compassion flowed out.

"...

who said goodbye

never see you again

pear blossoms miss

put down

heart hurts again

who said tomorrow

without giving any time

Pear blossoms have fallen for decades

the luckiest

brushed shoulders with you

......"

Different from the lingering entanglement that the original singer of this song wanted to show, when Qiao Rong sang, what made people feel the deepest was the deep compassion.

Dilute the lingering stickiness, abandon the entanglement that is not dry and not brittle, leaving only a touch of sadness in the heart. After the song is over, there is still a bit of compassion in the hearts of the people present, and it is difficult to get out.

After Qiao Rong sang for a while, seeing everyone's intoxicated expressions, he pursed his lips and stopped talking again.

——Since his debut, he has sung mostly love songs and songs like this, and he has long been tired of it.It's a pity that Xingyao has no plans to change his music style at all. If he really wants to change his club, should he try to consider this factor?

I don't know that his own artist has already turned his mind to the question of which style of music is better. Fang Yan has recovered after the singing stopped.

However, when he saw Han Qing's expression that was obviously still pondering, he stopped what he was about to say, and waited quietly for a while.

at last.

"Okay! This singing voice definitely meets our requirements! Let's decide it's Qiao Rong." The eyes of the advertising producer sitting beside him lit up, and he couldn't wait to say.

"I also think it's good, and it feels better than the voice I heard on the Internet." Han Qing also nodded in response, then turned his head and ordered, "Take out the things."

The assistant at the side handed over the document in his hand, Han Qing took it and spread it out in front of Fang Yan, saying, "I won't lie to you anymore, take a look at this contract, if possible, we can settle it?"

Fang Yan didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and to let it go so easily.

After he took over the contract and looked it over quickly, he was taken aback by the contract that was obviously drawn up long ago and even gave up a lot of discounts.

--what on earth is it? Since when did the people of Hera become so easy to talk to?

Qiao Rong looked at Fang Yan's hesitant look from the side, and leaned over to take a look, and then he was also taken aback.

——Is this...

More and more sure of the guess in his heart, Qiao Rong saw that his agent was still hesitant, so he simply took over the contract by himself, signed his name neatly, and handed it back.

"Later, we will send you an electronic version of the contract and the specific shooting time of the advertisement, please pay attention to check."

Without waiting for Fang Yan's reaction, Han Qing stood up directly after accepting the contract, shook hands with Qiao Rong, and was ready to say goodbye.

Qiao Rong maintained a calm demeanor when the other party pointed to the contract.When the assistant sent the two of them out, he pretended to casually glance at the cubicle on the side of the room, smiled with the corners of his mouth, and turned to go out.

——There was the scent of grass and trees that he was familiar with.There, someone!

The author has something to say:

Suddenly I feel that there is no passion, and the writing of this chapter is also plain...

Hey, let Xiaomo adjust it, try to write more interesting later, don't procrastinate (?^?)

Note [-]: The "Pear Blossom Falling" here is an episode of the TV series "Lonely Empty Court Spring Desire Evening", written by Yang Zhe, composed by Tan Xuan, arranged by Yang Yang, and sung by Huo Zun~
