After Lianzong opened, I broke the actor
Chapter 27 Not Everyone Can Let Me Stand Behind Lu Tingzhou
.
Qi Yu said in a low voice, "But hasn't our group improved? The response to the Durian Taiwan awards ceremony was very good, and the group's official Weibo also gained 10 followers..."
Wei Ge sneered: "Don't you know how long the idol group's lifespan is? The average age of Monster is two years younger than you, and it has more prospects for development. The company can only concentrate resources on promoting one group at present."
After Brother Wei sang the bad face, Mr. Bi began to sing the bad face, with a very embarrassed look: "Xiao Qi, you may not know that our MT Media has been developing very difficultly in the past two years, and we are already operating in debt. It is impossible for the company to With unlimited investment, we need artists who can make a profit."
Seeing that Qi Yu's expression softened, Brother Wei hit the iron while the iron was hot: "As long as you sign this renewed contract, we will help you sign LB's endorsement right away. Lu Tingzhou won you an 800 million endorsement fee, excluding the company's With a commission, you can at least get more than 100 million."
Brother Wei waited for Qi Yu's reaction with confidence.He knew that Qi Yu joined the company at the age of 13, and now he is only a 21-year-old boy. He has been confused for so long and has always listened to the company's words.What's more, Qi Yu is the youngest in the group, and usually keeps quiet, most of the time he only follows the ideas of his brothers, and has never taken the initiative to find anything for the company.
Brother Wei is very sure that he can handle him.Before coming here, he also promised Mr. Bi that he would make Qi Yu obediently sign these two contracts.
However, Qi Yu pursed his lips, raised his head and said, "What if I don't sign?"
Mr. Bi tapped his fingers on the table.Brother Wei immediately raised his eyebrows, half threatening and half intimidating: "If you don't sign, the contract will be automatically terminated after three months. The company doesn't need to help you accept this endorsement."
Qi Yu stared at him with a look that Brother Wei had never seen before.Brother Wei suddenly took a step back with a guilty conscience. He was a little afraid that Qi Yu would be cornered, so he lost his mind and jumped up to hit him.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yu was not angry at all, after a few seconds, he suddenly smiled and said softly:
"I will not sign. I will go with the members."
Wei Ge's face darkened, and he said in a dark voice: "Qi Yu, the name of the SOLAR group and the right to use the songs are all in MT Media. If you leave MT, do you think you are still SOLAR?"
Qi Yu paused, then smiled very easily and shrugged: "As long as the five of us are together, we are SOLAR. Whatever our name, whatever song we sing, we are still us."
Brother Wei seemed to have punched the cotton, and jumped up angrily: "Qi Yu, I know you have been writing songs, and you have submitted no fewer than fifty original songs to the company over the years, and the copyrights belong to the company. Leave MT , you can’t take all these songs with you! Do you want to leave the house completely?”
Qi Yu stood up, stared straight into his eyes, and paused every word: "You can take away my works, but you can't take away my talent. I am 21 years old, and I can still write for 50 years. I can still write 1000 songs. For the fifty, I will give it to you.”
Brother Wei's eyes were burning with anger.However, Bi is always an old man, looking at Qi Yu's expression, he felt something was wrong.The little artist in front of him was not throwing a temper tantrum, he seemed to be serious.
Boss Bi's face immediately sank, and he turned to scold Brother Wei loudly: "Xiao Wei, Qi Yu is currently the core artist of our MT. Is this your attitude when you usually cooperate with core artists?"
Brother Wei was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that Boss Bi was beating the child for outsiders to see, and immediately smiled and said: "I'm not in a hurry, I really don't want Xiaoyu to leave MT!"
He turned to Qi Yu again, and handed him the two contracts: "Xiao Yu, we are all a family, what can we not discuss? The conditions offered by the company are very good, you can take a look. If you have any ideas, you can raise them." Well."
Qi Yu took over the two contracts, looked directly at Brother Wei, didn't even look at them, and with a force of both hands, with a "crash", the two contracts were torn in half together.
Mr. Bi and Brother Wei froze.
Qi Yu put the torn contract on the table, and bowed slightly to Mr. Bi: "Thank you for the company's training for so many years. After the contract ends, I will not renew it."
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for the two to speak, turned around, opened the door, and left without looking back.
From behind, there was a loud bang, probably because the table was overturned, and then Mr. Bi scolded Brother Wei loudly.
The sound startled everyone on the floor. Everyone poked their heads out of their offices or workstations, turned their gazes to the meeting room, and turned to Qi Yu who had just walked out.
When people are extremely angry, they want to cry.But Qi Yu didn't cry.
He held back his tears, gritted his teeth, raised his head and chest, passed those curious, surprised or questioning eyes, and went straight downstairs.
There is no place to stay here.
He walked on the street in a daze for a long time, not knowing where he was, and finally couldn't walk anymore, and sat down on the side of the road with his knees hugged.
He kind of hated the company for being snobby and ruthless, but couldn't find a reason to blame them.Mr. Bi is right in saying that a company is not a charity. A company needs to make money, make a profit, and operate.The company always says that they are "family", but after all, they will not tolerate and accept you unconditionally and endlessly like a real family.
Qi Yu sat on the side of the road from morning until it was dark, and the street lights were all on, but she didn't dare to go home.He didn't know how to face the team members.The group members are excitedly thinking at home, after getting the endorsement fee, they need to replace the washing machine in the dormitory, after using the free high-end shampoo, will the hair color not fade, and if they can release a new album next year, they will follow The company strives to release two more songs.
For a long time, they thought that the five people were a whole. Everyone naively thought that as long as one person became popular, the group would be saved, and SOLAR would not be disbanded.It never occurred to them that there was a possibility of separation.
It turns out that only SOLAR in the world believes that SOLAR is an inseparable whole.
After an unknown amount of time, Qi Yu's cell phone rang, and the caller showed that it was Zou Chen.Probably to ask him why he hasn't come home yet.
Qi Yu didn't dare to answer, the phone rang over and over again, and finally stopped.Afterwards, Zou Chen sent a voice with only 3 seconds.Qi Yu opened, Zou Chen only said a word,
"Little rain, go home."
Qi Yu got on the bus and sat in the last row.The city is big, the roads are wide, the car windows are brightly lit, the traffic is busy, the smell of meat is wafting from the barbecue stalls, the girls in miniskirts are laughing loudly at the entrance of the bar, and the office workers rushing home are hurrying.Everyone seemed to have somewhere to go, but he was only at a loss in his heart.
When he arrived downstairs in the dormitory, Qi Yu turned on his phone camera to take a picture, his face turned red with anger.He ran to the faucet of the property and flushed for 5 minutes, and wandered around the community several times before he mustered up the courage to go upstairs.
When the team members saw that he was back, they didn't ask any questions for the first time.Even Tang Xiaoruan, who usually talks the most, didn't ask about signing the endorsement contract. He just asked him if he was hungry and said that Zou Chen made egg fried rice for everyone.
The meal was a little silent, although everyone tried to look normal, but they laughed very reluctantly.Qi Yu faintly felt something in her heart.
Sure enough, after eating, Zou Chen patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Yu, come here, let's have a meeting."
As usual, the team members sat in a circle on the sofa and the floor in the living room, and after a short silence, Zou Chen said bluntly: "Xiao Yu, brother Wei called me and told me what the company means."
Qi Yu's heart sank, and the simmering tears in her eyes could no longer be held back, she lowered her head, and big tears fell down.
Zou Chen put his arms around his shoulders: "Xiao Yudian, listen to me. Brother Wei means to persuade you not to give up such a good opportunity. In fact, he didn't say that, and that's what I mean too. Can you The popularity of "Crush" was completely accidental. If there was no such accident, we would have disbanded. In fact, everyone was mentally prepared for this. We discussed it, you signed the contract first, and we will talk about it later. "
Qi Yu twisted his shoulders stubbornly: "I don't."
"Be obedient." Zou Chen wrapped him in his arms, "Look at those poor families in the countryside, one child can afford to study, and if one can come out, the whole family will be fine, right? Our brothers are just like relatives, If you’re good, we’re good. If you don’t do SOLAR, you won’t do it. All roads lead to Rome, so why don’t we all get along? The opportunity is fleeting, and if you miss it, it’s gone.”
Qi Yu repeated two words: "I don't."
Zou Chen was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Yudian, don't be stupid. We can't win the company, and we can't win the capital, so let's give up."
Speaking of this, Tang Xiaoruan wiped away tears first, and several others couldn't help sobbing.
No matter how far in advance and no matter how much preparation is made, it is impossible to face this day well.
If we have to stop here, there must always be someone who will continue to move forward with everyone's dreams.
...But Qi Yu, just not.
He quickly stood up from the sofa and asked loudly: "Did you just give up like this? We didn't give up when we ate a pot of rice for three days, and didn't give up when Lanti's ost was taken away by others. Tang Xiaoruan danced We didn’t give up when we jumped to a broken bone, we didn’t give up when we were cancelled, we didn’t give up when we had no fans, no audience, no one supporting us, now because I’m popular, are we going to give up instead?”
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end he almost roared out at the top of his lungs.
"Why can't we leave MT? If we don't call the name SOLAR, we are not us? If we can't sing "Children of the Sun", we can't sing other songs? We can sign to other companies, and we can go on together of!"
Zou Chen took a deep breath: "Xiao Yu, we accept your wish, but this...is too unfair to you."
Qi Yu stared at him intently, his eyes flicked over everyone's face: "Grievance? When I first came to Beijing, I was bullied by my classmates. Zou Chen helped me fight and got a demerit from the school. Why don't you say you are wronged? When I first learned to dance, I Can't keep up, Xiuyi taught me all night long, why didn't you say you were wronged? When I was scolded and cried by Brother Wei, Tang Xiaoruan came out to take the blame for me, why didn't you say wronged? My mother left me at the gate of the company At that time, Lanti took me back to the dormitory, gave me the bed to sleep on the floor, why didn't I say I was wronged?"
As Qi Yu spoke, he couldn't stop crying: "You are telling me about fairness and grievances now? Am I an outsider? Am I not your family?"
"I won't sign! If you want to go together, you don't want to leave me!"
The others also had red eyes and hugged him tightly.
After a long time, Zou Chen said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, we will not disband. No matter which company we are in or what our name is, we will be together."
The others had long been expecting Zou Chen's final decision, cheering all of a sudden, crying and laughing, embracing tightly, shouting over and over again,
"If we don't disband, we will never disband!"
***
Early the next morning, Qi Yu was woken up by a phone call from director Huo Fan.
He ran to the balcony to pick it up, and Huo Fan's anxious voice came from the phone: "Qi Yu, have you fallen out with the company?"
Qi Yu's heart sank: "Sister Huo Fan, how do you know?"
"Really?" Huo Fan yelled at the other end of the phone, "This wicked MT! My classmate is in a brokerage company. I received a private contact from MT this morning, telling them that your contract is about to expire, and tell them not to accept you. .”
Qi Yu was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect the company to do such a great job.
"MT must have contacted more than one company, and I'm afraid they want to unite with the whole industry to block you." Huo Fan was so angry that his voice changed, "My classmate and his company were paying attention to you, and wanted to see what happened after your contract expired." I have no intention of signing with them, and I have inquired about it several times. Now it’s over, it’s blocked by the goddamn MT.”
Qi Yu was much calmer than her: "Understood, Sister Huo Fan. We are planning to terminate the contract with MT, but we haven't figured out the way forward yet. If there is any news, please keep an eye on it for me."
Huo Fan agreed, and asked again: "Have you told Lu Tingzhou? He has a wider career in the entertainment industry than me. Let him help you figure out a way."
Qi Yu was silent for a while, then said, "I don't want to trouble him too much."
Huo Fan sighed on the other end of the phone, gave Qi Yu some instructions, and hung up the phone.
Qi Yu stood on the balcony and suddenly felt a little out of breath.
Not long after, his cell phone rang again, and this time the caller was "Lu Tingzhou".
Qi Yu took a deep breath, calmed down, and answered the phone.
Lu Tingzhou seemed to be in the dressing room, the background sound was noisy, and there was also the sound of a hair dryer.
"Qi Yu, what's wrong with LB's contract? They say you won't sign it."
Qi Yu pursed her lips, and asked back: "Mr. Lu, did you lower the endorsement fee by 500 million in order to bring me to LB?"
Lu Tingzhou paused on the phone: "Who told you?"
Qi Yu was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Mr. Lu, you don't have to do this, I, I have no way to pay you back. You are not a charity..."
Lu Tingzhou seemed to smile over there: "I spend millions of dollars on charity every year, what's the matter with you?"
Qi Yu bit his lip and stopped talking, Lu Tingzhou seemed to sense something was wrong: "Is this why you didn't accept LB's endorsement?"
Qi Yu hesitated for a moment: "Not all of them."
On the other end of the phone, Lu Tingzhou's voice became serious: "Qi Yu, what happened?"
Qi Yu hesitated for a while, but did not answer.
In his mind before, Lu Tingzhou was omnipotent.Lu Tingzhou can easily take him to the show he dreamed of, help them complete the show that was almost canceled, bring him the top-level business that he can't wait for, and solve every problem he can't handle. problems and crises.
He didn't seem to have thought about what Lu Tingzhou paid behind this.
He didn't seem to think about it, why.
In order to bring him to the endorsement, Lu Tingzhou lost 500 million endorsement fees, and also exchanged resources.Even if Lu Tingzhou really liked him, he couldn't accept all this with peace of mind.What's more, they are just a pair of business CPs. To put it bluntly, they are not even good friends. At best, they can only be regarded as... acquaintances?
He already owed too much favor to Lu Tingzhou.Even if Lu Tingzhou really got uremia, his two kidneys would not be enough to pay him back.
What's even more frightening is that I'm actually a little dependent on him.If there is any problem that cannot be solved, the first reaction is to go to Lu Tingzhou.
In the end, Qi Yu still said to him: "It's okay, Teacher Lu, I have nothing else to do."
On the other end of the phone, someone seemed to be calling Lu Tingzhou, saying that the opening ceremony of the movie was about to begin.Lu Tingzhou didn't have time to ask in detail, so he just said in a hurry: "You sign LB's contract first, and we'll talk about the rest later." Then he hung up the phone.
Qi Yu squatted on the balcony holding her mobile phone, feeling a little dazed.
Click on Weibo, and many anchors in Hengdian are live broadcasting the opening ceremony of Lu Tingzhou's new movie.Lu Tingzhou changed his hairstyle and shaved it very short. He was dressed in a military uniform and stood among half of the first-line stars in the entertainment circle. He looked heroic and dazzling.
After all, Lu Tingzhou and I are people from two worlds.Qi Yu bit her lip.
During this morning, the members of SOLAR were all on the phone and sent WeChat messages.They contacted almost everyone in the industry they knew, looking for the possibility of signing with other companies.
SOLAR became famous at the Durian TV Awards Ceremony, and Qi Yu also became the most concerned newcomer recently with "Crush". Many companies intend to offer an olive branch to them, but due to the warning from MT Media, they all made vague remarks and held Wait and see attitude.
Most of the day passed, and the five children got nothing.
They sat on the floor in silence, full of unknowns and confusion about the future.
Qi Yu held the phone, and there was the last number in his address book that he hadn't tried yet.
Lu Tingzhou.
Zou Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Yu, how about..."
Qi Yu's finger hung on the screen for a long time, unable to click it down.
An endorsement is 1500 million. If he is asked to help find a signing company, who knows what the price will be behind it?And Lu Tingzhou is a person who won't talk about what he has done.When others help, they will directly put forward conditions, demands, and rewards. Don’t be afraid of this. What you are afraid of is people like Lu Tingzhou who never tell what they have done, and make you owe him more and more things without knowing it. .
At this moment, the phone suddenly rang by itself, and the caller happened to be the number Qi Yu couldn't dial.
Qi Yu picked up the phone.Lu Tingzhou seemed to be in a place where the signal was very bad, and his voice was a little unclear.
"Teacher Lu."
Lu Tingzhou's voice was a little angry: "Qi Yu, if I don't call you, when do you plan to come to me?"
Qi Yu's eyes were sour, and he muttered: "You, you know?"
Lu Tingzhou on the other end of the phone laughed angrily: "You have found so many people, don't you know me, no one will come to ask me? Is it possible?"
Qi Yu lowered his head.
Lu Tingzhou's tone softened a bit: "Why didn't you find me? Aren't we friends?"
Qi Yu: "Mr. Lu, you have helped me a lot. I can't ask you for everything. Your resources are not brought by strong winds..."
Lu Tingzhou seemed to be making a transition, and said as he walked, "Qi Yu, let me tell you, I have worked so hard for so many years to allow myself to have enough choices. This choice also includes when I want to pull people around me When you have one hand, you won’t be powerless.”
The words "people around me" warmed Qi Yu's heart.He suddenly felt that he seemed to be thinking too much. Lu Tingzhou didn't regard himself as an outsider, but he classified him as an "outsider".
Although Lu Tingzhou didn't say how to help him deal with it, Qi Yu's heart has already fallen to the ground.He knew that as long as Lu Tingzhou intervened, the matter would basically be resolved.
The signal was not very good, Lu Tingzhou's voice was a little intermittent: "Qi Yu, what are you worried about?"
Qi Yu's eyes turned red, "Brother Wei said that I am all under your influence now, and Director Huo also told me that not everyone has Lu Tingzhou behind them."
Lu Tingzhou didn't speak for a long time, and the other end of the phone was full of piercing noises.Qi Yu heard a worker and director talking loudly, and someone was urging Lu Tingzhou to get on stage.
After about half a minute, the signal improved, and Lu Tingzhou's voice suddenly became very clear on the phone:
"Did she tell you that not everyone can let me stand behind Lu Tingzhou?"
Not everyone has a Lu Tingzhou behind him—the implication is that you can get to where you are today not because you are good enough.
But not everyone can let me stand behind Lu Tingzhou.
You can because you are good enough.
"Don't think about it, I'll help you deal with it. Prepare well and come to Hengdian the day after tomorrow to shoot an endorsement advertisement."
***
Late that night, a black Lamborghini slowly drove into a magnificent manor on the outskirts of Beijing.
This manor is located in the top villa area in the suburbs of Beijing, with a value of 6-8 million.All the top celebrities live here. If you are an upstart, no matter how rich you are, you can't buy it.The entire manor covers an area of 40 acres and is brightly lit, but apart from the busy nannies and housekeepers, there is only one hostess in the huge manor.
She is Qu Xiaomei, a former beauty pageant and now a media tycoon.Although she is old, she is well-maintained and has a graceful figure. Wearing a silk nightgown, she stands by the bed in the living room and trims flower branches.
The Lamborghini stopped directly at the entrance of the villa, and the butler who was waiting there hurried up to open the door: "Master is back?"
Lu Tingzhou was wearing a long dark coat and didn't bring anything. He got out of the car, nodded at the butler, and went straight into the living room.
Hearing the voice, Qu Xiaomei raised her head, a little surprised: "Hey, why is the big actor willing to go home?"
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued to trim the flower branches.
Unexpectedly, Lu Tingzhou didn't go straight upstairs as usual, but stopped behind her: "Mom, I need your help."
"Huh?" Qu Xiaomei turned around in surprise.
Their mother-child relationship is not close. After growing up, Lu Tingzhou always called her "Mr. Qu" and never called her "Mom" for a long time.What's more, her son has always been very proud. He has been in the showbiz for 20 years, smashing his teeth and swallowing his blood. He has never asked her for a penny, and he will never ask her for anything.
This "Mom" warmed Qu Xiaomei's heart, she reached out to hold her son's hand, pulled him to the sofa and sat down: "Say it."
Lu Tingzhou didn't refuse, and let her hold his hand in her palm.
"I'm buying a company."
Qu Xiaomei was a little surprised.Her son, who has always been bored with acting in the crew, has never cared about her business affairs. How could he be so well-behaved and suddenly want to buy a company?
But she didn't want to give up this rare opportunity to get close to her son, so she pulled him and asked, "What company?"
Lu Tingzhou: "MT Media."
"MT Media?" Qu Xiaomei searched in memory, "The company that makes idol groups? How did you think of buying such a small company?"
Lu Tingzhou didn't speak.
Qu Xiaomei took his arm: "It's worth your trip to buy such a small company? What time do you get off the plane? Have you eaten yet?"
Lu Tingzhou turned his head: "Can the acquisition be completed within three months?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Qu Xiaomei raised Liu Yemei, as if she suddenly thought of something, "What artists does their company have?"
Lu Tingzhou paused for a while before saying, "SOLAR."
Qu Xiaomei: "What else?"
Lu Tingzhou: "I don't know."
Qu Xiaomei noticed something happened, took out her mobile phone and searched, then pursed her lips and let out a chuckle: "So it's this group, the one you played for them at the Durian TV Awards Ceremony?"
Lu Tingzhou: "Yes."
Qu Xiaomei zoomed in on the photo of their group, and said with a smile, "Oh, you really like the little yellow hair in "Crush", right?"
Lu Tingzhou: "It's not yellow hair."
What he denies is "yellow hair", not "like".Qu Xiaomei was a little surprised: "Really? Bring it back to show mom some other day."
Lu Tingzhou wanted something from someone, so he didn't refuse immediately, he paused for a while and said, "I'll ask, but he might not be willing."
Qu Xiaomei laughed so hard that her flowers trembled: "Oh, my son can finally play cabbage."
Lu Tingzhou took a deep breath, and stood up as if he had had enough: "It's done, then I'll go back to the set."
"Would you like to have a supper?" Qu Xiaomei wanted to keep him, "I'll let Wang Ma cook your favorite dishes for you."
"I have a show tomorrow, and I have to make up at 5:[-]." Lu Tingzhou started to walk out, "I have to catch a plane."
Qu Xiaomei had been looking at his back with nostalgia. When she walked to the door, Lu Tingzhou stopped suddenly and said, "Thank you."
Qu Xiaomei quickly said, "You're welcome, son. Mom will call the Investment and Acquisition Department tomorrow morning."
Lu Tingzhou paused, nodded, walked through the hall, and got into the car waiting at the door.
Qu Xiaomei didn't lower her head until the sound of the car engine could not be heard, swiped her mobile phone page, looked at Baidu Encyclopedia and murmured:
"Qi, Yu?"
The author has something to say:
Brother Wei: I hit my mouth!Let you poisonous milk!He actually bought the company to play with you! !
Thanks to the little angels for their support, there is another chapter to be added at 23:[-].
Qi Yu said in a low voice, "But hasn't our group improved? The response to the Durian Taiwan awards ceremony was very good, and the group's official Weibo also gained 10 followers..."
Wei Ge sneered: "Don't you know how long the idol group's lifespan is? The average age of Monster is two years younger than you, and it has more prospects for development. The company can only concentrate resources on promoting one group at present."
After Brother Wei sang the bad face, Mr. Bi began to sing the bad face, with a very embarrassed look: "Xiao Qi, you may not know that our MT Media has been developing very difficultly in the past two years, and we are already operating in debt. It is impossible for the company to With unlimited investment, we need artists who can make a profit."
Seeing that Qi Yu's expression softened, Brother Wei hit the iron while the iron was hot: "As long as you sign this renewed contract, we will help you sign LB's endorsement right away. Lu Tingzhou won you an 800 million endorsement fee, excluding the company's With a commission, you can at least get more than 100 million."
Brother Wei waited for Qi Yu's reaction with confidence.He knew that Qi Yu joined the company at the age of 13, and now he is only a 21-year-old boy. He has been confused for so long and has always listened to the company's words.What's more, Qi Yu is the youngest in the group, and usually keeps quiet, most of the time he only follows the ideas of his brothers, and has never taken the initiative to find anything for the company.

However, Qi Yu pursed his lips, raised his head and said, "What if I don't sign?"
Mr. Bi tapped his fingers on the table.Brother Wei immediately raised his eyebrows, half threatening and half intimidating: "If you don't sign, the contract will be automatically terminated after three months. The company doesn't need to help you accept this endorsement."
Qi Yu stared at him with a look that Brother Wei had never seen before.Brother Wei suddenly took a step back with a guilty conscience. He was a little afraid that Qi Yu would be cornered, so he lost his mind and jumped up to hit him.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yu was not angry at all, after a few seconds, he suddenly smiled and said softly:
"I will not sign. I will go with the members."
Wei Ge's face darkened, and he said in a dark voice: "Qi Yu, the name of the SOLAR group and the right to use the songs are all in MT Media. If you leave MT, do you think you are still SOLAR?"
Qi Yu paused, then smiled very easily and shrugged: "As long as the five of us are together, we are SOLAR. Whatever our name, whatever song we sing, we are still us."
Brother Wei seemed to have punched the cotton, and jumped up angrily: "Qi Yu, I know you have been writing songs, and you have submitted no fewer than fifty original songs to the company over the years, and the copyrights belong to the company. Leave MT , you can’t take all these songs with you! Do you want to leave the house completely?”
Qi Yu stood up, stared straight into his eyes, and paused every word: "You can take away my works, but you can't take away my talent. I am 21 years old, and I can still write for 50 years. I can still write 1000 songs. For the fifty, I will give it to you.”
Brother Wei's eyes were burning with anger.However, Bi is always an old man, looking at Qi Yu's expression, he felt something was wrong.The little artist in front of him was not throwing a temper tantrum, he seemed to be serious.
Boss Bi's face immediately sank, and he turned to scold Brother Wei loudly: "Xiao Wei, Qi Yu is currently the core artist of our MT. Is this your attitude when you usually cooperate with core artists?"
Brother Wei was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that Boss Bi was beating the child for outsiders to see, and immediately smiled and said: "I'm not in a hurry, I really don't want Xiaoyu to leave MT!"
He turned to Qi Yu again, and handed him the two contracts: "Xiao Yu, we are all a family, what can we not discuss? The conditions offered by the company are very good, you can take a look. If you have any ideas, you can raise them." Well."
Qi Yu took over the two contracts, looked directly at Brother Wei, didn't even look at them, and with a force of both hands, with a "crash", the two contracts were torn in half together.
Mr. Bi and Brother Wei froze.
Qi Yu put the torn contract on the table, and bowed slightly to Mr. Bi: "Thank you for the company's training for so many years. After the contract ends, I will not renew it."
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for the two to speak, turned around, opened the door, and left without looking back.
From behind, there was a loud bang, probably because the table was overturned, and then Mr. Bi scolded Brother Wei loudly.
The sound startled everyone on the floor. Everyone poked their heads out of their offices or workstations, turned their gazes to the meeting room, and turned to Qi Yu who had just walked out.
When people are extremely angry, they want to cry.But Qi Yu didn't cry.
He held back his tears, gritted his teeth, raised his head and chest, passed those curious, surprised or questioning eyes, and went straight downstairs.
There is no place to stay here.
He walked on the street in a daze for a long time, not knowing where he was, and finally couldn't walk anymore, and sat down on the side of the road with his knees hugged.
He kind of hated the company for being snobby and ruthless, but couldn't find a reason to blame them.Mr. Bi is right in saying that a company is not a charity. A company needs to make money, make a profit, and operate.The company always says that they are "family", but after all, they will not tolerate and accept you unconditionally and endlessly like a real family.
Qi Yu sat on the side of the road from morning until it was dark, and the street lights were all on, but she didn't dare to go home.He didn't know how to face the team members.The group members are excitedly thinking at home, after getting the endorsement fee, they need to replace the washing machine in the dormitory, after using the free high-end shampoo, will the hair color not fade, and if they can release a new album next year, they will follow The company strives to release two more songs.
For a long time, they thought that the five people were a whole. Everyone naively thought that as long as one person became popular, the group would be saved, and SOLAR would not be disbanded.It never occurred to them that there was a possibility of separation.
It turns out that only SOLAR in the world believes that SOLAR is an inseparable whole.
After an unknown amount of time, Qi Yu's cell phone rang, and the caller showed that it was Zou Chen.Probably to ask him why he hasn't come home yet.
Qi Yu didn't dare to answer, the phone rang over and over again, and finally stopped.Afterwards, Zou Chen sent a voice with only 3 seconds.Qi Yu opened, Zou Chen only said a word,
"Little rain, go home."
Qi Yu got on the bus and sat in the last row.The city is big, the roads are wide, the car windows are brightly lit, the traffic is busy, the smell of meat is wafting from the barbecue stalls, the girls in miniskirts are laughing loudly at the entrance of the bar, and the office workers rushing home are hurrying.Everyone seemed to have somewhere to go, but he was only at a loss in his heart.
When he arrived downstairs in the dormitory, Qi Yu turned on his phone camera to take a picture, his face turned red with anger.He ran to the faucet of the property and flushed for 5 minutes, and wandered around the community several times before he mustered up the courage to go upstairs.
When the team members saw that he was back, they didn't ask any questions for the first time.Even Tang Xiaoruan, who usually talks the most, didn't ask about signing the endorsement contract. He just asked him if he was hungry and said that Zou Chen made egg fried rice for everyone.
The meal was a little silent, although everyone tried to look normal, but they laughed very reluctantly.Qi Yu faintly felt something in her heart.
Sure enough, after eating, Zou Chen patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Yu, come here, let's have a meeting."
As usual, the team members sat in a circle on the sofa and the floor in the living room, and after a short silence, Zou Chen said bluntly: "Xiao Yu, brother Wei called me and told me what the company means."
Qi Yu's heart sank, and the simmering tears in her eyes could no longer be held back, she lowered her head, and big tears fell down.
Zou Chen put his arms around his shoulders: "Xiao Yudian, listen to me. Brother Wei means to persuade you not to give up such a good opportunity. In fact, he didn't say that, and that's what I mean too. Can you The popularity of "Crush" was completely accidental. If there was no such accident, we would have disbanded. In fact, everyone was mentally prepared for this. We discussed it, you signed the contract first, and we will talk about it later. "
Qi Yu twisted his shoulders stubbornly: "I don't."
"Be obedient." Zou Chen wrapped him in his arms, "Look at those poor families in the countryside, one child can afford to study, and if one can come out, the whole family will be fine, right? Our brothers are just like relatives, If you’re good, we’re good. If you don’t do SOLAR, you won’t do it. All roads lead to Rome, so why don’t we all get along? The opportunity is fleeting, and if you miss it, it’s gone.”
Qi Yu repeated two words: "I don't."
Zou Chen was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Yudian, don't be stupid. We can't win the company, and we can't win the capital, so let's give up."
Speaking of this, Tang Xiaoruan wiped away tears first, and several others couldn't help sobbing.
No matter how far in advance and no matter how much preparation is made, it is impossible to face this day well.
If we have to stop here, there must always be someone who will continue to move forward with everyone's dreams.
...But Qi Yu, just not.
He quickly stood up from the sofa and asked loudly: "Did you just give up like this? We didn't give up when we ate a pot of rice for three days, and didn't give up when Lanti's ost was taken away by others. Tang Xiaoruan danced We didn’t give up when we jumped to a broken bone, we didn’t give up when we were cancelled, we didn’t give up when we had no fans, no audience, no one supporting us, now because I’m popular, are we going to give up instead?”
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end he almost roared out at the top of his lungs.
"Why can't we leave MT? If we don't call the name SOLAR, we are not us? If we can't sing "Children of the Sun", we can't sing other songs? We can sign to other companies, and we can go on together of!"
Zou Chen took a deep breath: "Xiao Yu, we accept your wish, but this...is too unfair to you."
Qi Yu stared at him intently, his eyes flicked over everyone's face: "Grievance? When I first came to Beijing, I was bullied by my classmates. Zou Chen helped me fight and got a demerit from the school. Why don't you say you are wronged? When I first learned to dance, I Can't keep up, Xiuyi taught me all night long, why didn't you say you were wronged? When I was scolded and cried by Brother Wei, Tang Xiaoruan came out to take the blame for me, why didn't you say wronged? My mother left me at the gate of the company At that time, Lanti took me back to the dormitory, gave me the bed to sleep on the floor, why didn't I say I was wronged?"
As Qi Yu spoke, he couldn't stop crying: "You are telling me about fairness and grievances now? Am I an outsider? Am I not your family?"
"I won't sign! If you want to go together, you don't want to leave me!"
The others also had red eyes and hugged him tightly.
After a long time, Zou Chen said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, we will not disband. No matter which company we are in or what our name is, we will be together."
The others had long been expecting Zou Chen's final decision, cheering all of a sudden, crying and laughing, embracing tightly, shouting over and over again,
"If we don't disband, we will never disband!"
***
Early the next morning, Qi Yu was woken up by a phone call from director Huo Fan.
He ran to the balcony to pick it up, and Huo Fan's anxious voice came from the phone: "Qi Yu, have you fallen out with the company?"
Qi Yu's heart sank: "Sister Huo Fan, how do you know?"
"Really?" Huo Fan yelled at the other end of the phone, "This wicked MT! My classmate is in a brokerage company. I received a private contact from MT this morning, telling them that your contract is about to expire, and tell them not to accept you. .”
Qi Yu was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect the company to do such a great job.
"MT must have contacted more than one company, and I'm afraid they want to unite with the whole industry to block you." Huo Fan was so angry that his voice changed, "My classmate and his company were paying attention to you, and wanted to see what happened after your contract expired." I have no intention of signing with them, and I have inquired about it several times. Now it’s over, it’s blocked by the goddamn MT.”
Qi Yu was much calmer than her: "Understood, Sister Huo Fan. We are planning to terminate the contract with MT, but we haven't figured out the way forward yet. If there is any news, please keep an eye on it for me."
Huo Fan agreed, and asked again: "Have you told Lu Tingzhou? He has a wider career in the entertainment industry than me. Let him help you figure out a way."
Qi Yu was silent for a while, then said, "I don't want to trouble him too much."
Huo Fan sighed on the other end of the phone, gave Qi Yu some instructions, and hung up the phone.
Qi Yu stood on the balcony and suddenly felt a little out of breath.
Not long after, his cell phone rang again, and this time the caller was "Lu Tingzhou".
Qi Yu took a deep breath, calmed down, and answered the phone.
Lu Tingzhou seemed to be in the dressing room, the background sound was noisy, and there was also the sound of a hair dryer.
"Qi Yu, what's wrong with LB's contract? They say you won't sign it."
Qi Yu pursed her lips, and asked back: "Mr. Lu, did you lower the endorsement fee by 500 million in order to bring me to LB?"
Lu Tingzhou paused on the phone: "Who told you?"
Qi Yu was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Mr. Lu, you don't have to do this, I, I have no way to pay you back. You are not a charity..."
Lu Tingzhou seemed to smile over there: "I spend millions of dollars on charity every year, what's the matter with you?"
Qi Yu bit his lip and stopped talking, Lu Tingzhou seemed to sense something was wrong: "Is this why you didn't accept LB's endorsement?"
Qi Yu hesitated for a moment: "Not all of them."
On the other end of the phone, Lu Tingzhou's voice became serious: "Qi Yu, what happened?"
Qi Yu hesitated for a while, but did not answer.
In his mind before, Lu Tingzhou was omnipotent.Lu Tingzhou can easily take him to the show he dreamed of, help them complete the show that was almost canceled, bring him the top-level business that he can't wait for, and solve every problem he can't handle. problems and crises.
He didn't seem to have thought about what Lu Tingzhou paid behind this.
He didn't seem to think about it, why.
In order to bring him to the endorsement, Lu Tingzhou lost 500 million endorsement fees, and also exchanged resources.Even if Lu Tingzhou really liked him, he couldn't accept all this with peace of mind.What's more, they are just a pair of business CPs. To put it bluntly, they are not even good friends. At best, they can only be regarded as... acquaintances?
He already owed too much favor to Lu Tingzhou.Even if Lu Tingzhou really got uremia, his two kidneys would not be enough to pay him back.
What's even more frightening is that I'm actually a little dependent on him.If there is any problem that cannot be solved, the first reaction is to go to Lu Tingzhou.
In the end, Qi Yu still said to him: "It's okay, Teacher Lu, I have nothing else to do."
On the other end of the phone, someone seemed to be calling Lu Tingzhou, saying that the opening ceremony of the movie was about to begin.Lu Tingzhou didn't have time to ask in detail, so he just said in a hurry: "You sign LB's contract first, and we'll talk about the rest later." Then he hung up the phone.
Qi Yu squatted on the balcony holding her mobile phone, feeling a little dazed.
Click on Weibo, and many anchors in Hengdian are live broadcasting the opening ceremony of Lu Tingzhou's new movie.Lu Tingzhou changed his hairstyle and shaved it very short. He was dressed in a military uniform and stood among half of the first-line stars in the entertainment circle. He looked heroic and dazzling.
After all, Lu Tingzhou and I are people from two worlds.Qi Yu bit her lip.
During this morning, the members of SOLAR were all on the phone and sent WeChat messages.They contacted almost everyone in the industry they knew, looking for the possibility of signing with other companies.
SOLAR became famous at the Durian TV Awards Ceremony, and Qi Yu also became the most concerned newcomer recently with "Crush". Many companies intend to offer an olive branch to them, but due to the warning from MT Media, they all made vague remarks and held Wait and see attitude.
Most of the day passed, and the five children got nothing.
They sat on the floor in silence, full of unknowns and confusion about the future.
Qi Yu held the phone, and there was the last number in his address book that he hadn't tried yet.
Lu Tingzhou.
Zou Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Yu, how about..."
Qi Yu's finger hung on the screen for a long time, unable to click it down.
An endorsement is 1500 million. If he is asked to help find a signing company, who knows what the price will be behind it?And Lu Tingzhou is a person who won't talk about what he has done.When others help, they will directly put forward conditions, demands, and rewards. Don’t be afraid of this. What you are afraid of is people like Lu Tingzhou who never tell what they have done, and make you owe him more and more things without knowing it. .
At this moment, the phone suddenly rang by itself, and the caller happened to be the number Qi Yu couldn't dial.
Qi Yu picked up the phone.Lu Tingzhou seemed to be in a place where the signal was very bad, and his voice was a little unclear.
"Teacher Lu."
Lu Tingzhou's voice was a little angry: "Qi Yu, if I don't call you, when do you plan to come to me?"
Qi Yu's eyes were sour, and he muttered: "You, you know?"
Lu Tingzhou on the other end of the phone laughed angrily: "You have found so many people, don't you know me, no one will come to ask me? Is it possible?"
Qi Yu lowered his head.
Lu Tingzhou's tone softened a bit: "Why didn't you find me? Aren't we friends?"
Qi Yu: "Mr. Lu, you have helped me a lot. I can't ask you for everything. Your resources are not brought by strong winds..."
Lu Tingzhou seemed to be making a transition, and said as he walked, "Qi Yu, let me tell you, I have worked so hard for so many years to allow myself to have enough choices. This choice also includes when I want to pull people around me When you have one hand, you won’t be powerless.”
The words "people around me" warmed Qi Yu's heart.He suddenly felt that he seemed to be thinking too much. Lu Tingzhou didn't regard himself as an outsider, but he classified him as an "outsider".
Although Lu Tingzhou didn't say how to help him deal with it, Qi Yu's heart has already fallen to the ground.He knew that as long as Lu Tingzhou intervened, the matter would basically be resolved.
The signal was not very good, Lu Tingzhou's voice was a little intermittent: "Qi Yu, what are you worried about?"
Qi Yu's eyes turned red, "Brother Wei said that I am all under your influence now, and Director Huo also told me that not everyone has Lu Tingzhou behind them."
Lu Tingzhou didn't speak for a long time, and the other end of the phone was full of piercing noises.Qi Yu heard a worker and director talking loudly, and someone was urging Lu Tingzhou to get on stage.
After about half a minute, the signal improved, and Lu Tingzhou's voice suddenly became very clear on the phone:
"Did she tell you that not everyone can let me stand behind Lu Tingzhou?"
Not everyone has a Lu Tingzhou behind him—the implication is that you can get to where you are today not because you are good enough.
But not everyone can let me stand behind Lu Tingzhou.
You can because you are good enough.
"Don't think about it, I'll help you deal with it. Prepare well and come to Hengdian the day after tomorrow to shoot an endorsement advertisement."
***
Late that night, a black Lamborghini slowly drove into a magnificent manor on the outskirts of Beijing.
This manor is located in the top villa area in the suburbs of Beijing, with a value of 6-8 million.All the top celebrities live here. If you are an upstart, no matter how rich you are, you can't buy it.The entire manor covers an area of 40 acres and is brightly lit, but apart from the busy nannies and housekeepers, there is only one hostess in the huge manor.
She is Qu Xiaomei, a former beauty pageant and now a media tycoon.Although she is old, she is well-maintained and has a graceful figure. Wearing a silk nightgown, she stands by the bed in the living room and trims flower branches.
The Lamborghini stopped directly at the entrance of the villa, and the butler who was waiting there hurried up to open the door: "Master is back?"
Lu Tingzhou was wearing a long dark coat and didn't bring anything. He got out of the car, nodded at the butler, and went straight into the living room.
Hearing the voice, Qu Xiaomei raised her head, a little surprised: "Hey, why is the big actor willing to go home?"
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued to trim the flower branches.
Unexpectedly, Lu Tingzhou didn't go straight upstairs as usual, but stopped behind her: "Mom, I need your help."
"Huh?" Qu Xiaomei turned around in surprise.
Their mother-child relationship is not close. After growing up, Lu Tingzhou always called her "Mr. Qu" and never called her "Mom" for a long time.What's more, her son has always been very proud. He has been in the showbiz for 20 years, smashing his teeth and swallowing his blood. He has never asked her for a penny, and he will never ask her for anything.
This "Mom" warmed Qu Xiaomei's heart, she reached out to hold her son's hand, pulled him to the sofa and sat down: "Say it."
Lu Tingzhou didn't refuse, and let her hold his hand in her palm.
"I'm buying a company."
Qu Xiaomei was a little surprised.Her son, who has always been bored with acting in the crew, has never cared about her business affairs. How could he be so well-behaved and suddenly want to buy a company?
But she didn't want to give up this rare opportunity to get close to her son, so she pulled him and asked, "What company?"
Lu Tingzhou: "MT Media."
"MT Media?" Qu Xiaomei searched in memory, "The company that makes idol groups? How did you think of buying such a small company?"
Lu Tingzhou didn't speak.
Qu Xiaomei took his arm: "It's worth your trip to buy such a small company? What time do you get off the plane? Have you eaten yet?"
Lu Tingzhou turned his head: "Can the acquisition be completed within three months?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Qu Xiaomei raised Liu Yemei, as if she suddenly thought of something, "What artists does their company have?"
Lu Tingzhou paused for a while before saying, "SOLAR."
Qu Xiaomei: "What else?"
Lu Tingzhou: "I don't know."
Qu Xiaomei noticed something happened, took out her mobile phone and searched, then pursed her lips and let out a chuckle: "So it's this group, the one you played for them at the Durian TV Awards Ceremony?"
Lu Tingzhou: "Yes."
Qu Xiaomei zoomed in on the photo of their group, and said with a smile, "Oh, you really like the little yellow hair in "Crush", right?"
Lu Tingzhou: "It's not yellow hair."
What he denies is "yellow hair", not "like".Qu Xiaomei was a little surprised: "Really? Bring it back to show mom some other day."
Lu Tingzhou wanted something from someone, so he didn't refuse immediately, he paused for a while and said, "I'll ask, but he might not be willing."
Qu Xiaomei laughed so hard that her flowers trembled: "Oh, my son can finally play cabbage."
Lu Tingzhou took a deep breath, and stood up as if he had had enough: "It's done, then I'll go back to the set."
"Would you like to have a supper?" Qu Xiaomei wanted to keep him, "I'll let Wang Ma cook your favorite dishes for you."
"I have a show tomorrow, and I have to make up at 5:[-]." Lu Tingzhou started to walk out, "I have to catch a plane."
Qu Xiaomei had been looking at his back with nostalgia. When she walked to the door, Lu Tingzhou stopped suddenly and said, "Thank you."
Qu Xiaomei quickly said, "You're welcome, son. Mom will call the Investment and Acquisition Department tomorrow morning."
Lu Tingzhou paused, nodded, walked through the hall, and got into the car waiting at the door.
Qu Xiaomei didn't lower her head until the sound of the car engine could not be heard, swiped her mobile phone page, looked at Baidu Encyclopedia and murmured:
"Qi, Yu?"
The author has something to say:
Brother Wei: I hit my mouth!Let you poisonous milk!He actually bought the company to play with you! !
Thanks to the little angels for their support, there is another chapter to be added at 23:[-].
