Entertainment: Top players who started out as trainees

Chapter 50 What's going on?! Let me see...

"Xiao Luo, according to our industry practice, when a company signs an artist, it will require that the previously created lyrics and music be authorized or transferred to the company."

"For new artists, they are basically transferred directly, including the artists that our company has signed before."

"Because the company helps artists produce, promote, and distribute, as well as subsequently develop, maintain, operate, and protect copyrights, which all require considerable energy and costs."

Hearing a calm "Oh" on the phone, Long Danny immediately gave up his fantasy and put forward the plan he had prepared long ago.

"But if it's you, I can make an exception and sign a separate authorization contract. The details of the contract and the distribution of power can be discussed."

"Really? That would be great!"

Listening to Ning Luo's voice which suddenly became lively and rich, Long Danny's eyelids couldn't help but twitch twice.

"As for the contract period, generally speaking, all the lyrics and music created by the artist belong to the company. There are very few who can negotiate copyright sharing with the company, but that is a privilege only for top original singers."

"Oh, I see."

Ning Luo curled her lips and lowered her voice, seeming a little disappointed and said, "I thought that as long as I wrote it myself, it would belong to me. But thank you Sister Long for helping me clear up my confusion."

After hearing what Ning Luo said, Long Danny understood what he meant, and the rest of the words were stuck in his throat.

This is going to be difficult.

She originally planned to hold off for a while and wait two or three days before contacting Ning Luo to discuss copyright sharing.

To be honest, this is already a very, very, very big concession!
Although the potential Ning Luo has shown so far is indeed amazing, potential cannot be immediately converted into strength.

After all, Ning Luo is just a newcomer with over 200 million fans on Weibo.

Oh no, it has risen to 220 million today.

Unless he can soar to the sky in a very short time and leave everyone far behind, just like Lu Han did when he just returned to China!
Otherwise, she dared to guarantee that any company with similar strength would never give in to her.

But what she didn't expect was that Ning Luo was unwilling to even share the copyright!

What a greedy little devil!

Rubbing his temples with a headache, Long Danny suppressed his irritation and said calmly, "You are still too naive. Although this industry practice sounds a bit unreasonable, since it exists and is followed by everyone, it must have its rationale."

"Okay, think about it carefully. There will definitely be many companies contacting you in the future. You can ask more and compare more. I can guarantee that the conditions I give you will definitely be the best."

"Yeah, I see. I will definitely consider it seriously."

"Oh, by the way, you can just use this phone. If you have any ideas, you can contact me anytime."

Ning Luo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't refuse and agreed directly.

After hanging up the phone, Ning Luo played with the brand new iPhone X in his hand, which had just been online for a few months, and clicked his tongue twice.

This call was quite rewarding.

Firstly, he understood the other party's attitude, and it was much better than he expected.

Secondly, I got a cell phone for free.

Thirdly, the notch screen is indeed ugly.

……

In the next two days, Ning Luo was quietly pulled out by no less than ten staff members to answer phone calls. Without exception, they all wanted to invite him to join the company, including Yuehua, Rubber, Huayi, Kunyin, Ciwen, etc.

After testing their conditions and attitudes, Ning Luo quickly lost interest, but did not refuse. He replied in unison, "We will seriously consider it."

From the current perspective, Long Danny did not deceive him, and the salary offered was indeed much higher than that of other companies.

But not enough.

Take advantage of this honeymoon period and develop as quickly as possible.

On that day, the program team called all the trainees to gather in the studio and announced the second stage performance task.

Position evaluation.

The mission is divided into three categories: vocal, dance, and rap, with a total of 13 songs. The 60 trainees are divided into 13 groups based on the songs to compete.

After the performance, the first place in the group will receive a vote reward of 5 votes.

The first place in each major category will receive an additional 10 votes.

This vote reward is still considerable, but it is also useless.

Because only those few trainees who are in the upper circle have the chance to take first place in the group, and this amount of votes will hardly affect their ranking. It can only be said that something is better than nothing.

At the same time, PD Zhang announced another piece of news.

From this moment on, all the trainees' previous votes will be reset to zero, and everyone will stand on the same starting line again.

After this performance, there will be a second comprehensive ranking of all members, and all trainees ranked after 35 will be eliminated!
As soon as this news came out, there was an immediate cry of grief, especially from those members who were ranked lower.

They had just sent off the last batch of eliminated trainees a few days ago, and they didn't expect that it would be their turn so soon.

Ning Luo pretended to comfort the bitter-faced man beside him whose name he did not know, while browsing the task information that had just popped up in his mind.

【Ding! 】

[Task trigger: "Two, two, three, four, do it again!"]

[In the second stage performance, received the highest number of votes in the group!
If you get the highest number of votes in a category, you can get extra rewards! 】

[Ps: "What's going on?! Let me see what's going on!!"]

Ning Luo pursed his lips unconsciously, feeling a little tricky.

Among the three major categories of this "position assessment" task, he would definitely choose vocal, but there are not many trainees who are good at vocal.

Among them, the ones who pose the greatest threat to him should be You Changjing and Chen Linong.

You Changjing is relatively okay, but Chen Linong, who has the support of the script, is a bit difficult to deal with.

The way to have the highest chance of winning is to be assigned to the same group as Chen Linong.

He is confident that he can beat this guy right on the stage!

I think even if the program crew wants to promote Chen Linong, they won't go to such a shameless level.

However, even if he was not assigned to a group, his chances of winning this time were much higher than during his first performance.

After getting the phone, Ning Luo went online and focused on studying the popularity and public opinion of the top trainees.

He found that among them, Chen Linong's data was the most false and his public opinion was the worst in recent times.

First, the data.

Although Chen Linong's Weibo fans rank fourth among all trainees, with a gap of only 200,000 to 300,000 from the third-placed Fan Chengcheng, he is inferior to Zhu Zhengting and others who rank behind him in terms of reposts, likes, comments, super topic fans, and daily check-ins.

It’s probably only one-third of Ning Luo’s, which is comparable to Wang Ziyi, who ranks around tenth in terms of the number of fans.

The public opinion is even worse, with both true and false negative information everywhere.

Things like having a girlfriend, his girlfriend's unclear political stance, he lied about the length of time he danced, he was suspected of selling a Korean version of his persona, his smile was too fake, and so on and so forth.

There were even remarks about "two-way plugs", which almost made Ning Luo laugh to death.

Ning Luo looked through a lot of marketing accounts and found that the time when the negative press releases about Chen Linong increased sharply was probably after the second episode of the show was broadcast.

To be more precise, it was the first stage performance, when Chen Linong received the highest number of votes.

It is obvious that Wanwanzai is ignorant and wants to put all the delicious food into his own bowl. The enthusiastic citizens from the mainland could not stand it anymore, so they surrounded him and taught him a lesson!

Under such circumstances where public outrage is rampant, Chen Linong and the team behind him will definitely restrain themselves and lie low for the time being.

And this is Ning Luo's chance!

The song selection rule this time is to choose the songs you want to perform in order of ranking.

The program team specially set up two sets of barriers to block the trainees' view so that they could not see what song the person in front of them had chosen.

After choosing a song, people need to go around another set of barriers to know their teammates.

Ning Luo was the fourth one, looking at the name tags of five songs placed on the table in front of him, "What I Miss", "Love You", "Little Half", "Shape of You", and "Always Online".

After a little hesitation, I finally chose the song "What I Miss" by an unpopular singer.

There was no particular reason, just because he liked the song and it was right in his strike zone.

After walking around the last barrier, Ning Luo smiled happily as he looked at Chen Linong standing in front of the song "What I Miss".
