Superstars of Tomorrow

Fang Zhao didn't know that several engineers of Flamingo were talking about him, so he stood in the office on the 50th floor and looked out the window.

Every five minutes in the high-rise buildings in the distance, there is a picture about the aurora. Recently, the aurora can be seen everywhere in Yanzhou, billboards, suspended light screens on high-rise buildings, dynamic/static posters, except for the silver wings and fire. In addition to the advertising campaign jointly launched by Flamingo, there is also an advertisement launched by Su Feng's "Four Elephants" in Yanzhou. It seems that Aurora became popular overnight.

At a film and television conference in which Jiguang invested by Silver Wing participated, some media asked about the endorsement of Jiguang. , Many people's first reaction is to not believe it.

Hype!

Definitely hype!

They can still believe the price given by Flamingo, but how can other companies, especially a not-so-famous company, offer such a high price? In terms of endorsement fees alone, Aurora has already ranked first in Yanzhou's virtual idols. Even if it doesn't have enough works, doesn't have enough background, and the number of fans is not as good as the other two popular virtual idols, but who makes Jiguang lucky? Who empowers the people behind it? Since his debut, he has started to make big news, and now the topic is also high.

However, "Four Elephants" really paid so much money to ask Aurora to speak for them? Stupid? !

The person in charge of "Four Elephants" in Yanzhou jumped out immediately: "Excuse me, I'm that stupid X you guys are talking about."

After all, more people admire the "Four Elephants" for its good timing and the popularity of the game "Battle of the Century", and it is still a while before the release of "Battle of the Century", a world-renowned game. Time, also began to move mind.

With the joint promotion of Silver Wing and Flamingo, anyone who surfs the Internet or goes out in Yanzhou will have an impression of Aurora. This brand has also become a "well-known brand" from the "Muzhou brand" in people's mouth.

Fang Zhao didn't know much about the sales market, but he could understand the changes from what he saw and heard in his daily life.

The people in the virtual department have straightened their backs recently, and they can get a lot of envious looks and compliments when they go out for a walk.

"One endorsement is 10 million, ten endorsements is over 100 million! Twenty endorsements is 200 million!"

As Zu Wen counted, he felt his mind getting more and more confused, "We...are we going to pay?" They don't have that much money, but overtime pay and bonuses will increase, right?

"It's been posted a long time ago." Song Miao rolled his eyes at him, "You haven't checked your account?"

"Not really." Zu Wen, who was nestled on the sofa in the department hall, changed his posture and checked his account funds.

"Hiss—" After taking a sharp breath, Zu Wen put his hands on the top of his head, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.

"I, I,... this, this..."

Their salaries are already relatively high in the company, and there are also a lot of overtime expenses. The most important thing is the bonus. Looking at the zero behind it, Zu Wen once deeply felt that he was lazy and stayed in the virtual department. How correct the choice is!

"This, this, this... It's all about the boss's leadership!" Flattery is a must! Without Fang Zhao's consent, they can get so much overtime pay and bonuses? If it were another leader who likes to deduct employees' wages, they would not be treated so well.

The rest of the department nodded in agreement.

Silver Wing's virtual department has risen since Fang Zhao came. They don't know what will happen in the future, but they know that as long as they follow Fang Zhao, they will definitely have a bright future. Didn't see someone go to Muzhou to get a tens of millions of endorsements? Even dogs have appreciated!

Speaking of Muzhou...

"Boss, when can we go to Muzhou to watch the finals?" Zu Wen asked. This is the second time he mentioned it after Fang Zhao came back.

The rest of the department also looked at Fang Zhao expectantly.

When the publicity was the most tense, they worked overtime to complete the assigned tasks. Now the work is not heavy, and it is shared by people from other departments, so they are also leisurely.

"I will mention it to the boss. Today, I have assigned a batch of tasks. You can deal with the things at hand first." Fang Zhao packed up his things, "After work, you can arrange it freely."

"Know!"

Even though they agreed, no one left, and the off-duty and working hours didn't have much impact on them. What they want to do most now is to finish all the work in their hands, so that they can go out to play with peace of mind.

After leaving the company, Fang Zhao went to the place where Xue Jing lived. Xue Jing had already returned to Yanzhou to rest. After the global tour, he had something to do in Muzhou, and Xue Jing had many meetings to attend, so he hurriedly parted. When he came back this time, Fang Zhao had to thank the old man again, after all, Xue Jing gave him such a chance, and it might not be possible for someone else to push him so hard.

As the driver and bodyguard, Zuo Yu naturally followed Fang Zhao.

Xue Jing was very happy with Fang Zhao's arrival, "I was talking about you just now, but you're here now. Have you had dinner yet?"

"have eaten."

"Young people have a lot of appetite, come, eat some with my old man." Xue Jing greeted Fang Zhao.

Fang Zhao was surprised to find that Xue Jing also had a guest here, who was Hua Li, the head of the sound effect team of Flamingo Company, who had been in contact with him before.

"Mr. Xue is also my teacher. I have always been in touch. Today I came to Yanzhou to visit some old friends. I also stopped by to see Mr. Xue. I didn't expect to meet you." Hua Li said.

Xue Jing was very happy today, probably because he drank a little wine and talked a lot. The assistant didn't let Xue Jing drink too much, but this amount was enough to arouse Xue Jing's interest.

"...I didn't expect that at this age, taking on such a task of compiling a book that no one wants to touch under heavy pressure, could lead to another wave of learning. I heard that many colleges and universities have added related courses. , I also received a communication from some former students yesterday, saying that their opportunity has come again..."

Xue Jing kept talking, while Fang Zhao and Hua Li were listening nearby, answering from time to time, but after all, Xue Jing was old, so even if he talked with high spirits, he couldn't talk for too long, and he soon became tired and fell asleep. past.

Together with the assistant, they moved Xue Jing back to the room and tidied up the room before Fang Zhao and Hua Li left. Since Hua Li came from Huangzhou, he did not fly his own aircraft or bring anyone else with him, so Fang Zhao let Zuo Yu First, drive Huali to the hotel where he is staying.

When he was about to arrive at the hotel, Hua Li asked, "Are you busy? Why don't you have another drink?"

Guessing that Hua Li should have something to say, but it's hard to mention it with Xue Jing, so Fang Zhao agreed.

Hua Li chose a restaurant near the hotel, and he knew the owner there.

Zuo Yu also consciously found a chair outside to sit down, and didn't go in to listen.

"I didn't say anything with Mr. Xue before, Fang Zhao," Hua Li put away the smile on his face, "Have you considered your future?"

Fang Zhao was a little surprised by Hua Li's sudden question, "What do you mean?"

"Are you planning to stay in Silver Wing forever? To tell you the truth, when Mr. Xue was with him, the old man told me that he hoped that you would put all your attention on music instead of worrying about the virtual reality of Silver Wing. Things like projects. But..." Hua Li's words changed, "I hope you get in touch with more things. Only after you have experienced a lot will you have inspiration and create better works."

Fang Zhao turned the cup in his hand without making a sound, waiting for the next words.

Hua Li glanced at Fang Zhao. This kid was still the same as before. He couldn't see any reaction to his words. He paused and continued: "If you feel that your own limitations are too big, when you are free, you can go to the emperor Zhou Conservatory of Music for advanced studies, the advanced classes there are better than Qi’an Conservatory of Music, and you can learn more things. There are also many people around the world who are good at combining symphonic and electronic music styles. You can learn from each other’s strengths and get to know more people. Roads are good too."

Advanced study?

Fang Zhao knew from his memory that there was indeed a training class organized by the Global Music Association at the Huangzhou Conservatory of Music in Huangzhou. Many music masters had gone there for further study. It was a gold-plated process and he would meet many people in the industry , Those who can expand their network and go there are top talents from all over the world.

"Based on your current works, and the joint recommendation of Ming Cang, Xue Lao and others, you will definitely be able to enter the youth training class there." Hua Li said.

"Have you been there too?" Fang Zhao asked.

"I've been there. I was recommended by the company. I'm not a creative talent. My strength lies in my hearing ability. I was recruited into Flamingo very early, and then I was arranged to go for advanced studies. I served as the deputy team leader within two years after I came back. Later, he was promoted to the team leader, until now." Hua Li hadn't composed music for a long time, "I was in the same class as Ming Cang in the training class, but Ming Cang's career was put on hold for more than ten years because of his son's affairs."

"Of course, this is just my suggestion as a senior in the industry. It doesn't matter if you don't want to go. You can even change careers if you want to. Many people I know have switched from music producers to the film and television industry, because the film and television industry is easier to earn popularity. It also earns a lot of money and is well-known.

The memory of the Internet can be long, so long that it can remember even after we are all dead, or it can be so short, so short that it is popular all over the world one moment, and is forgotten the next moment. Especially those of you who create behind the scenes are more likely to be forgotten. A classmate of mine also took the route of contracting a company back then, and then focused on creation. Later, when he became famous, he left the company and worked on his own. Movie and TV star, I didn't expect to mix well, he acted and sang. But not everyone can go his way, and his talent in acting is not inferior to creation. "

While talking, Hua Li looked at Fang Zhao, shook his head and said, "But you can't, just like me, you are both good looking but not outstanding enough."

Fang Zhao: "..."

"And you are not suitable for entering the film and television industry. You usually know that you are too calm, your emotions don't fluctuate much, and your expressions are not rich enough. If you compare yourself with those actors, you will end up being crushed. In terms of acting talent, you are not as good as And me."

Fang Zhao: "..."

Hua Li laughed a few times, "Actually, I have said so much, I came to you today to help someone with a message."

Speaking of which, Hua Li took out a dozen or so business cards from his pocket, twisted his fingers and spread them in a fan shape, and put them in front of Fang Zhao, "I brought them here for a few friends and classmates. They said, if you want to leave Silver Wing anytime, When you leave Yanzhou, you can think about them, some of these companies are run by themselves, some of them are private studios with a bit of fame, and they specialize in making music for blockbuster movies and games, with more money and more freedom."

Therefore, Hua Li went to find Fang Zhao alone today, in fact, he was helping someone to poach someone.

Before leaving, Hua Li, as a senior in the industry, seriously called the other party, "You may not know that there are a few young musicians in their teens in Huangzhou who are also planning to start a global tour. They come from a musical family. , studied in a top music school since childhood, has amazing talent, and has won many professional awards. Those old guys above have a higher degree of recognition. There is also a seven-year-old guy in Lazhou who founded a band As the conductor, the performance season was announced yesterday."

"In the new century, the road to music is actually not wide. There are many people competing, and a batch of geniuses will appear every year. Don't look at those companies that treat you very well because of Aurora. Many of them are still vying to win you over. But one day you run out of inspiration and can’t create amazing works. If you encounter certain things where your talent is limited, you will be surpassed by those who come after you, and there will be a big gap in salary. There are many cases of young geniuses ending in misery. .”

"Starting from reality, I hope you can do something interesting. The world is big. See more and experience new things. Although I don't compose music anymore, I know one thing. Visit frequently when you're in the mood. Don't be limited by the music, and don't hate it."

After speaking, Hua Li looked at Fang Zhao, saw that Fang Zhao was thinking about something seriously, and said, "What else do you want to ask?"

"When will the game console be delivered?" Fang Zhao asked.

Hua Li: "..." I'm so tired of facing such a younger generation. Is this kid really not worried about being surpassed by those rising brats?

There will be another chapter later. Don't be lazy with everyone's rewards and votes.
