Attack and suffer properly
Chapter 45
Near nostalgia timid.
Standing on the stage again, Xiao Xiaodong found himself more nervous and restless than he imagined.
Obviously not long ago, he just performed on stage, and he wasn't nervous at all at the time, why can't he let go now?
However, it is not difficult to understand when he thinks about it, he was only a small supporting role that day, but now he is the protagonist on the stage, the object of everyone's attention.
Moreover, that time he was performing dance skills with other people, but now he is performing singing alone, the nature is completely different.
Don't panic!Calm down, Xiao Xiaodong, you can do it, you are the king of the stage, this small stage is hard for you!
Xiao Xiaodong subconsciously clenched the microphone in his hand, cheering himself on.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced inadvertently, and the person sitting in the corner, wearing sunglasses and a dark suit was not Lan Tian, who else?
Isn't he already gone, why is he still here?
Realizing that Xiao Xiaodong found him, Lan Tian immediately made a cheering gesture to him.
come on!You can do it!
After receiving Lan Tian's encouragement, Xiao Xiaodong cheered up like a shot in the arm.
The nervousness, embarrassment, and uneasiness of the previous moment disappeared, and Xiao Xiaodong only felt energetic and high-spirited.
The light shone on Xiao Xiaodong, and he walked slowly to the center of the stage, and the melodious music played casually, and his voice floated over the hall through the microphone, gradually attracting the attention of everyone in the audience.
"Sure enough, you are right in introducing him. He has good singing skills, good appearance, and most importantly, he is popular with the audience. The guests here seem to like him very much. Ask him if he is interested in being the resident singer here." Sitting in Lantian The bar owner next to him laughed.
"Okay, I'll ask him." Lan Tian said perfunctorily.
"Why, do you look down on me here?" The boss squinted, don't think he can't see it.
Lan Tian laughed and said: "Give me the courage to look down on you, Boss Zeng. If he really quits the entertainment industry, this should be his best choice."
However, he is not Xiao Xiaodong himself, and his future is a matter of great importance, how can he make decisions for him?
Boss Zeng twitched his lips, "You all don't want to die until you reach the Yellow River. Do you really think that the entertainment industry is so easy to mess around? You can't get ahead if you don't have a backer and connections. It's better to earn some money from me down-to-earth."
Lan Tian knew that the other party was thinking of someone again, so Zhiqu didn't say anything, so he could do whatever he said.
On the stage, after Xiao Xiaodong sang the first song, he slowly adjusted his state, and the singing became better and better, and he didn't want to get off the stage.
After singing the last song, Xiao Xiaodong reluctantly got off the stage and walked towards Lantian.
"Drink a glass of water, moisten your throat." When Xiao Xiaodong approached, Lan Tian handed over a glass of water.
"Thank you." After taking the water glass and taking a sip of water, Xiao Xiaodong felt a little pain in his throat.
"How do you feel?" Lan Tian handed him a tissue again to wipe his sweat.
"It's very exciting and fun. I almost forgot what it's like to be on stage, thank you." Xiao Xiaodong wiped his sweat with a heartfelt smile on his face.
"Just now, Boss Zeng asked you if you are interested in being the resident singer here. Are you interested?" Lan Tian asked casually.
Xiao Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react.
The on-site brother is different from a part-time job. He needs to go to work every day. If he agrees, then he can't take care of other aspects.
"You don't need to answer in a hurry. After all, the matter is of great importance. Go back and think it through before you speak. It doesn't matter if you don't agree." Lan Tian laughed.
"I will think about it carefully." Xiao Xiaodong said, but he had a premonition in his heart that he would most likely agree.
There are still more than four years left in his contract with Star King, but the company has made it clear that he will hide him and will not praise him again. As long as Zheng Xien is still in the company for a day, he will never have a day of counterattack.
After his birthday this year, he is already 28 years old. This age is very embarrassing in the entertainment industry.
Compared with those young fresh meat, he is not as young as them; compared with young artists of the same age in the circle, he does not have their network reputation, let alone produce works.
If he continues to be in the entertainment industry at his age, he will not be able to make a name for himself. If he continues, he may not think of other possibilities besides competing for jobs with group actors.
If he was ten years younger, he wouldn't mind playing tricks, but he has been daydreaming for ten years, wasting the most precious ten years of his life.
How many ten years of life can he squander?
Or, now is the time to wave the sword of wisdom, cut off unrealistic dreams, and say goodbye to the entertainment industry.
However, what Xiao Xiaodong didn't expect was that even if he wanted to quit, the reality would not allow him to quit.
Being called back to the company by Zheng Xi'en early in the morning, Xiao Xiaodong was a little apprehensive, every time he was called back by her, nothing good happened, and he didn't know what would happen this time.
"Please explain to me clearly, what's going on!" Zheng Xi'en asked immediately when they met.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at the computer screen in a daze, only to realize that the video of him singing in the bar last night had been posted online at some point, and there were quite a few hits.
In just one night, there were tens of thousands of hits. Many of the comments below were asking about his identity, praising him for singing well, being handsome, some people recognized him, and some expressed their love for him. .
Xiao Xiaodong couldn't help being overjoyed to see such affirmative comments, but before he was too happy, a pot of cold water was poured on him.
"You should know that as an artist of the company, it is a breach of contract if you accept a job in private without the company's permission?" Zheng Xien asked in a cold voice.
Realizing the meaning of Zheng Xien's words, Xiao Xiaodong shuddered suddenly, and stammered to explain.
"Actually, I planned to report to you today, and I will hand over the rake to the company according to the regulations."
Zheng Xien sneered and said, "Since you have admitted to accepting the job in private, then you can go back and wait for the lawyer's letter."
Xiao Xiaodong's eyes widened, knowing that he had fallen into Zheng Xi'en's trap.
In fact, as long as he just denied that he was paid yesterday and just helped a friend for free, Zheng Xien couldn't do anything to him.But he didn't recruit himself, he would recruit everything as soon as he was frightened by her.
"The company hid me and didn't give me a job. I don't have any financial income. Now that I find a job by myself, I also pay the full commission to the company according to the regulations. Why do you want to chase me away? What are you so worried about? Even if I I have offended you before, but you ruined my future. That’s not enough. Do you still want to kill me? Let me tell you, don’t be too extreme in life. If you drive others out, you won’t have good results eat!"
Probably because he was overwhelmed by Xiao Xiaodong's hostility, or understood the consequences of forcing a tiger to jump over the wall, Zheng Xien's face changed and he said: "I don't want to do too much. If you don't want to be held accountable by the company, there is nothing you can do."
Xiao Xiaodong stared fixedly at Zheng Xien, waiting for her next words.
"The company intends to cooperate with Tang Corporation, and I have also received news that Tang Corporation is very satisfied with Tuantuan, but for some reason, Mr. Tang has not agreed to sign with us until now. As long as you can make Tuantuan the spokesperson of Tang Corporation, Then, I can guarantee that the company will not hold you accountable for accepting jobs in private, and I even promise you that the company will not hide you again." Zheng Xien showed his hole card.
Hearing this, Xiao Xiaodong was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why Zheng Xien proposed such a condition, as if he could influence who Tang Junlin would sign as a contemporary spokesperson.
Xiao Xiaodong was about to ask if you made a mistake, how can I make Tuantuan the spokesperson of Tang Corporation, but when he met Zheng Xien's meaningful eyes, he was suddenly blessed, as if he understood something.
He remembered the day when he participated in the audition, was cheated away, and Zheng Xien asked him to be the spokesperson of a certain brand beforehand, and wanted him to give up participating in the Tang's spokesperson campaign.
Could it be that Zheng Xien knew about his relationship with Tang Junlin a long time ago, and worried that he would get Tang's spokesperson contract through his relationship, so he made such a small move?
Seeing that he was still unwilling to respond, Zheng Xien couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
"Think about it clearly. Even if those big bosses spoil you today, they won't give you so much money to redeem you. But if you insist on fighting against the company, you will be ruined and no one will sympathize with you. Liquidated damages can It’s not a small sum, if I were you, I wouldn’t have to think about it at all, just give up a spokesperson’s advertisement, not only will I not have to pay huge liquidated damages, but I will also have many job opportunities in the future.”
After hearing what she said, Xiao Xiaodong knew in his heart that the guess just now was correct, and she really thought he had something to do with Tang Junlin.
He didn't know where she knew about his relationship with Tang Junlin, but unfortunately she miscalculated his position in Tang Junlin's heart.
He has absolutely no control over Tang Junlin's decision, let alone let Tuantuan be the spokesperson.
If he had this kind of ability, he would have become the spokesperson of Tang Corporation long ago.
"I'll think about it."
He said he would consider it, but after Xiao Xiaodong left the company, he didn't look for Tang Junlin, but Lantian.
"You want to terminate the contract with Star King?" After hearing Xiao Xiaodong's words, Lan Tian was a little surprised.
He wanted to persuade Xiao Xiaodong to accept Boss Zeng's invitation to be a resident singer, but he never thought about letting him terminate the contract with the company.
It's not impossible to terminate the contract with Star King, but it would involve a huge amount of liquidated damages, which Xiao Xiaodong simply couldn't afford with his financial strength.
"Brother Lan, you also know my current situation in the company. The company hides me and doesn't give me any jobs, even part-time jobs. They also say that I violated the contract by accepting jobs in private, and they want to sue me for breach of contract. If you want to drive me away...I have no choice." Xiao Xiaodong smiled wryly.
Lan Tian immediately realized, "Is it that video of you performing in a bar on the Internet?"
Xiao Xiaodong didn't hide anything, and told about the conversation with Zheng Xi'en today, but he didn't mention that she asked him to persuade Tang Junlin to sign as the spokesperson of the group.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to turn out like this." Lan Tian said guiltily.
He wanted to help Xiao Xiaodong with good intentions, but he was sued by the company instead.
Xiao Xiaodong shook his head, "It's none of your business, you also kindly wanted to help me, and if there wasn't this matter, Zheng Xi'en would find other excuses to harm me."
Standing on the stage again, Xiao Xiaodong found himself more nervous and restless than he imagined.
Obviously not long ago, he just performed on stage, and he wasn't nervous at all at the time, why can't he let go now?
However, it is not difficult to understand when he thinks about it, he was only a small supporting role that day, but now he is the protagonist on the stage, the object of everyone's attention.
