Chapter 131: Jiangcheng’s status within the circle

Chapter 131 Jiangcheng’s status within the circle

as expected.

 Five days later at noon, "Tianxia" broke into the top ten!

 On the night of the same day, "Beauty" also broke into the top ten of the season list!

Media have reported:

 "The dispute between Bai Di and Chu Ci's ancient style." 》

  《Baidi Chu Ci’s It’s Hard to Win or Lose! 》

 "Baidi's two ancient songs have entered the top ten of the season list. 》

  《Ancient Style Circle: Bai Di and Chu Ci each have their own characteristics! 》

 Faced with Bai Emperor and Chu Ci, the ancient wind circle began to carry water! 》

 "Bai Di and Chu Ci: Twin Stars in the Singing Circle?" 》

 Netizens are hotly discussing!

 Hot discussion in the industry!

As the center of the topic, Lin Zhibai went to the company and happily signed the ace songwriter contract. His goal has been successfully achieved. Let outsiders understand it however they want.

 “From now on, you and the company will share the download revenue equally.”

 Watching her brother sign the contract, Lin Xi was in a good mood.

Lin Zhibai smiled and didn't say anything. He just shared the revenue from download sharing with the company. Composers mainly make money from download sharing, but the company does not rely on this. The most precious thing for the company is actually the benefits these songs bring to singers. For example, after Lin Shouzhuo became famous, he participated in commercial performances or received some announcements, or even brand endorsements, etc., all of which were paid, and the company took the majority of this part of the income, and the composer did not participate in this part of the income. .

 The same goes for investing in movies, TV series and the like.

Even if the investment in a certain drama is a loss, what if a company artist becomes popular because of his participation in the drama?

The company's artists can help the company make money back through business. This is why some projects are obviously losing money, but everyone is still willing to invest.

Isn’t it similar to those cartoons produced by Disney in the previous life?

It’s almost impossible for Disney to make back its money just by relying on the box office of animated movies, but their core purpose is not box office either—

 They do it to sell peripherals.

However, Lin Zhibai definitely can't take care of this for the time being. He can only try to get as much wool as possible from Shinhwa Entertainment. The contract has increased from 1.50% for newcomers to 50% for ace songwriters. The difference in income is not a small amount.

 “You may not know.”

Lin Xi sighed with emotion: "You are the first composer from Shinhwa Entertainment to get a major contract within one year of your debut."

This is a new record for Shinhwa Entertainment!

Lin Zhibai nodded and said: "Then I will set the price of custom orders at more than 7 million in the future. If it is less than this number, there is no need to consider it."

 “My heart is quite big.”

Lin Xi smiled and said: "But the price of more than 7 million, considering your current influence, you should be able to get it. I will pay attention to it in the future."

"OK."

Lin Zhibai said goodbye to his sister. The contract had been signed and came into effect, and he was going home.

When leaving the company, Lin Zhibai specifically took a look at the performance ranking of the Shinhwa Music Department. He saw at a glance that his sister's music performance was still ranked ninth last time, but this time it has rushed to eighth. The speed not bad.

 “Can the sister who rushes to the top get promoted?”

Lin Zhibai thought thoughtfully, Lin Xi's position was still a bit low, and there were not many company resources that could be leveraged.

 …

 On the way home.

Lin Zhibai suddenly received a call from Yin Dongnuan.

"What's up?"

Lin Zhibai was a little surprised.

Yin Dongnuan said: "Didn't we talk before that I would like to discuss cooperation with Kunpeng people? There is an internal gathering tonight. I heard that Kunpeng's representative will also attend, but I need someone to build a bridge. Can you let me Your brother came forward to help me..."

Yin Dongnuan was a little embarrassed.

 Shinhwa and Nathan are rivals after all.

 But she wanted someone from Shinhwa to help introduce her.

As if afraid that Lin Zhibai would find it difficult, Yin Dongnuan followed up with another sentence: "If your brother doesn't have time, I can also find another way. After all..."

 “No need for my brother.”

Lin Zhibai's heart moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "I'll go to the party with you tonight, and I'll help you introduce him."

 “Are you here to introduce me?”

Yin Dongnuan was surprised and said: "Do you know Representative Jiang from Kunpeng!?"

                          once.

Lin Zhibai did not explain the reason.

 Because Yin Dongnuan can figure out the reason.

Yin Dongnuan really didn't ask why. She took it for granted that Lin Zhibai knew Kunpeng's representative because of his brother.

“Then let’s go together tonight and I’ll send you the address!”

"good."

After Lin Zhibai received the address from Yin Dongnuan, he called Jiang Cheng.

 “What’s going on tonight?”

“Silver Wings Club, Su Chan is the owner of that club.”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Cheng said with some curiosity: "If the boss has a job, I can just extend the club's invitation."

“You have to go, Yin Dongnuan will meet you tonight.”

"OK."

"I am coming too."

"What good?"

Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, "Are you coming tonight too?"

Lin Zhibai hummed, "When the time comes, move away from the surrounding area and I'll talk to you."

 “Clubs are full of people…”

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. The more people there are, the more aboveboard the way we meet, the less likely anyone will think that I am the boss behind Kunpeng, because you know my brother, and my dad has also filmed Kunpeng. , so in the eyes of the outside world, it is reasonable and logical for us to know each other."

Lin Zhibai deliberately agreed to Yin Dongnuan.

He just wanted to choose a public place to meet Jiang Cheng, so that his future contact with Jiang Cheng would not appear too abrupt. Jiang Cheng quickly understood what Lin Zhibai meant.

He is a very smart person, "Then let's meet tonight. Su Chan should be there by then. She is the owner of the club and the initiator of this party."

"good."

I just happened to meet my “future sister-in-law”——

Although Lin Zhibai did not intend for Su Chan to really become the third generation sister-in-law of the Lin family, unless this woman did not intend to accept Kunpeng's help.

that's all.

 That evening.

Yin Dongnuan and Lin Zhibai arrived at the door of the club. The threshold for this kind of gathering was very high, but Yin Dongnuan had many ways to get in.

 After entering the door.

Yin Dongnuan glanced around, but didn't find Jiang Cheng's figure. He muttered in a low voice: "He hasn't arrived yet. Why don't he come?"

"They come, the security."

Lin Zhibai found a sofa and sat down.

This kind of gathering is very relaxed. It is just a group of people in the circle chatting together and nodding to each other when they meet people they know. Lin Zhibai and Yin Dongnuan came in without attracting much attention.

 “What do you want to eat?”

"dessert?"

 “Just wait a moment,”

Yin Dongnuan went to the self-service area to get some food, placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and took two glasses of champagne from the waiter's plate.

Lin Zhibai is here to help her tonight.

 So she was happy to provide Lin Zhibai with a little service.

The two were drinking champagne and eating food when they suddenly heard a movement at the door.

"coming!"

Yin Dongnuan's eyes lit up and he looked at the door, his face suddenly a little ugly, "Why is this guy here too?"

 Three people appeared at the door.

One of them is Jiang Cheng.

 The other two are a man and a woman.

The man was well-dressed and handsome, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He looked to be in his thirties, with short hair, wheat-colored skin, and a faint smile hanging from the corner of his mouth. Many people took the initiative to talk to him. Say hello with a hint of fawning and ingratiation.

Lin Zhibai narrowed his eyes slightly.

I didn’t expect to meet the eldest son of my uncle’s family on this occasion tonight—

Lin Gong!

At this time, Lin Gong did not see Lin Zhibai, who was talking to the woman next to him.

The woman has a noble temperament, fair skin, big eyes, long and curly eyelashes under the thick eyebrows, raised slightly upward, and pink lips like rose petals. Her appearance is not inferior to that of female stars in the industry, and she is neither arrogant nor arrogant in her dealings with others. Not close, but with just the right sense of distance. When faced with Lin Gong's proactive conversation, it was neither cold nor enthusiastic.

 Think about it, she is Su Chan.

Yin Dongnuan knew that the relationship between Lin Zhibai and Lin Gong was not good, so when he saw Lin Gong, he blurted out "Why is this guy here too?" However, when he quietly observed Lin Zhibai's face, he did not Not noticing anything strange, he felt a little relieved and explained:

 “I didn’t know Lin Gong would come.”

“If we can come, so can he.”

Lin Zhibai took a leisurely sip of champagne.

Yin Dongnuan pursed her lips and said: "The person next to Lin Gong is Su Chan. The one who came with Su Chan should be Kunpeng representing Jiangcheng, right?"

"It's him."

Lin Zhibai observed the scene in front of him with great interest:

From the moment the three people from Jiang Cheng entered the venue, everyone at the party tonight was leaning forward, trying to strike up a conversation with smiles on their faces.

 Their target is Jiangcheng!

Jiang Cheng became the focus of everyone's attention as soon as he appeared on the stage.

 Watching these well-established insiders fawning over Jiang Cheng, Lin Zhibai felt the influence of Kunpeng Investment for the first time in reality.

 “This Kunpeng representative is simply delicious...”

Yin Dongnuan smiled bitterly. She still underestimated Kunpeng's current influence.

The people attending this party are all considered big shots in the eyes of ordinary people in the circle, but at this moment they are all surrounding Jiangcheng, and they are obviously no strangers to this representative of Kunpeng.

Lin Zhibai claimed that he knew Jiang Cheng correctly.

 But today most people here seem to know Jiangcheng.

 Everyone's purpose may be the same as mine. Under such circumstances, would Lin Zhibai still have a chance to go over and strike up a conversation with Jiang Cheng and introduce himself to him?

 “Like a social butterfly.”

Lin Zhibai commented with a smile as he saw Jiang Cheng handling everyone with ease.

So this is Jiang Cheng's status in the industry? It really seems like that. This Kunpeng spokesperson he personally selected seems to be more capable than expected.

“Looking at this situation, it will be difficult for us to get through.”

Yin Dongnuan frowned, and in her heart she had given up on the idea of ​​starting a relationship with Jiang Cheng tonight. If it didn't work out, she would try to find a way later. She couldn't bear to let Lin Zhibai, the proud third generation of the myth, put down his face and go over to please him. , there is a high probability that you will end up with a warm face but a cold butt.

at this time.

Lin Zhibai stood up.

“Why are you going?” Yin Dongnuan asked subconsciously.

“Of course I’ll go say hello to Jiang Cheng.” Lin Zhibai smiled and said, “Don’t you want to discuss cooperation with him?”

"no."

Yin Dongnuan looked at the crowd and said, dumbfounded, "There are so many people surrounding him. Do you think they have time to talk to you tonight?"

Jiang Cheng is today’s protagonist!

The identity of the third generation of Shinhwa Group is of little significance on this occasion. Isn't Yin Dongnuan also the third generation of Nathan? But when I got here, I didn't see many people coming up to talk to me, even Lin Gong and Su Chan. The two of them were not as dazzling as Jiang Cheng tonight.

Yin Dongnuan is also observing with Lin Zhibai:

She clearly saw that Lin Gong was trying to talk to Jiang Cheng just now, but Jiang Cheng was not very enthusiastic and just greeted others politely. Even the leader of the third generation of Shinhwa Group could not get the other party's attention. , what could Lin Zhibai do in the past?

 “You’ll know if you try it?”

Lin Zhibai stuffed a cherry tomato into his mouth, letting the sweetness and sourness of the fruit explode in his mouth, and then walked towards Jiangcheng like everyone at the party today.
