87. The white car
"When you told me that you were going to sign a one-year contract, I thought you were a bit arrogant at first."
In the office, Ang Lee and Superintendent Zhao were drinking tea and chatting. It can be seen that Manager Zhao was in a very good mood today. He even took out the good tea specially used to entertain big customers that he usually couldn't bear to drink, which made Ang Lee a little embarrassed.
"The result is that I have short-sighted eyes. In just a few months, you have completely proved yourself, exceeding my expectations." Manager Zhao shook his head and continued.
He has seen too many new stars who are arrogant, but the final result is not very good, but Ang Lee really has two tricks.
In the music circle, everyone actually has a few songs in their hands, especially newcomers who have just debuted. They are most likely to write good songs when they are full of passion, because at that time, they have passion and dreams, and they can think of good lyrics and melodies at will.
Only when people are poor can they have the motivation to do these things. Once they become rich, they will be too lazy to turn their minds, or they will not have the empathy of the general public. This is also the main reason why many people have just passed.
But Ang Lee is different. He really has real materials. Even if he is rich, he can still write high-quality songs, which shows that this person has a very good heart and is a talented material.
"Supervisor Zhao can't say that. You are also for my own good. I am not a ungrateful person." Ang Lee quickly waved his hand and said.
Manager Zhao is actually quite a good person and is very considerate of his subordinates. When he chose to sign a one-year contract, Manager Zhao had already clearly told him the disadvantages, but Ang Lee insisted on choosing, and no one was wrong.
"Why did you give up this task? If you participate, I'm afraid we won the order." Manager Zhao turned to discuss this. He could hear Ang Lee's answer, which was not humility or compliment, which was enough.
"I believe you have this strength. Could it be that you think the money is too little?" Manager Zhao continued, and he was quite confident in Ang Lee's strength. Although Ang Lee said that this order was not suitable for him, according to Ang Lee's personality, even if it is not suitable for him, he would find a way to find someone to cooperate with him. The previous "The Light Chaser" is a good example.
If this song is handed over to Ang Lee and Lin Chaomu to cooperate, it would be a sure thing. Ang Lee's arrangement is quite good, and Lin Chaomu's singing skills are also very solid. The combination of the two is like a tiger. After all, even a 20 million order like a light chaser can be won, and these 500 orders are not easy to get.
"Hehe, there are indeed some reasons for this, but it is true that I said this song is not suitable for me. Moreover, our team finally squeezed into the B-level level and just got such a order. If I took it down, I'm afraid those people in the team will have opinions."
"I can't take all these orders, I have to give them a sip of soup, right?" Ang Lee scratched his head and said. He was still very clear about the principle that the big tree attracts wind. He only won the order "The Light Chaser" last month. If he wins this order again, he may feel uncomfortable. He will give him a rogue or something.
After all, some people just can't stand others better than them.
"No, stop when you see it's good." Manager Zhao nodded and looked at Ang Lee with a very satisfied look.
After learning that Ang Lee gave up this order, everyone was obviously much more motivated. It can be seen that Ang Lee brought a sense of oppression to everyone. If this continues, it would probably not be a good thing.
"I think Chaomu is a child, but I was negligent. If I had known that she had such strength, our team would have entered Group B long ago." Manager Zhao said to Ang Lee.
Lin Chaomu gives people the feeling that she is a vase. There is no way she looks so beautiful. It makes people feel that she has no talent. To be honest, the song "Summer" was not of high quality, and it was a song she asked someone to help her. So in the eyes of Director Zhao, Lin Chaomu was just not at the same time.
So much so that after Lin Chaomu joined the team for a year, he only assigned her a few songs of similar level and style to "Summer", which resulted in her failure to exert her strength at all.
Now the song "The Light Chaser" has finally awakened her. This girl who looks like a vase actually has real strength.
"Good things are a lot of trouble." Ang Lee smiled and said, "It's gold that people will always be discovered, sooner or later. In comparison, it's better to be a little later, because success comes too quickly, it's easy to be restless.
"With you two being Jinglu, I think the team will finally go further in the future."
Manager Zhao nodded without denying it, and made a clear conclusion that whether Jinglu can become stronger and stronger in the future depends on how Ang Lee and Lin Chaomu develop in the future.
It’s okay for Lin Chaomu. She signed a four-year contract. It’s only one year now, and she can continue to cultivate and discover greater value. However, Ang Lee is different. He only has one year contract. If he doesn’t choose to renew it when it expires, Jinglu’s overall strength will be lost by more than half.
So Manager Zhao is still a little worried.
"I haven't had the idea of doing it alone in recent years." Looking at the look of Manager Zhao looking at him, Ang Lee knew exactly what he wanted to express.
To be honest, when he first signed the contract, he planned to concentrate on making songs. After a year, he would jump to work and do it himself.
Those talented singers will set up a company by themselves, then recruit some singers and teams to make their own songs, and then sell the copyright to record companies to tie up, so that they do not have to be restricted by others, not only are they very free to say that they can have more choices.
After all, singers and artists who can change jobs and work alone are generally quite famous, and the songs they produce are of good quality, and they have a huge fan base. It is a sure profit and no loss to cooperate with any record company. Therefore, many record companies will ask others to cooperate with, and at that time there is an opportunity to negotiate and deal.
Although the copyright of the singer artist who signed the company is still in his own hands, the distribution channels are very single and can only be distributed in his own company. The singer artist who works alone can sell the copyright of the song to multiple record companies.
So Ang Lee had the idea of going out alone one year later. With the huge system data and his professional level, he could make a song a month. It should not be difficult to become popular in a year, so he did have plans for this at the beginning.
But now it’s different. Ang Lee’s focus is not just songs. In the future, he will have more art fields waiting for him to develop. In the past year, he will have to disperse his energy to other fields, so naturally he will not develop quickly by simply making songs.
So his decision now is to wait for a few years to make a complete success. Moreover, his various art fields do not conflict with music, so he can do other things while making songs, and wait until his reputation in music becomes completely gained.
And that level was definitely not reachable in a year, so he changed his mind.
After hearing Ang Lee's clear reply, Director Zhao felt relieved. He didn't want to see this thriving sapling jumping from his garden.
If Ang Lee stays in Jinglu's team for one more year, then the strength of Jinglu's team can continue to grow for one year, not because he has enough abilities, but because he relies entirely on the additional benefits brought to the team by Ang Lee.
"How are you and Lin Chaomu?" Manager Zhao asked with a smile when he looked at Ang Lee.
"Ah? What's going on? It's not going on." Ang Lee hurriedly said.
"Young man, my eyes are very sharp, and Chao Mu is indeed a pretty good child. As a supervisor, although the company does not advocate love between singers and artists, I am still very open-minded. On the contrary, I really hope that you two can succeed. After all, I can trust your character." Manager Zhao said with a smile.
Ang Lee had a good impression of Lin Chaomu. He knew it when the two entered the company on the first day. As a veteran, he knew very well that Ang Lee was able to join Jinglu in a lot of ways because of Lin Chaomu.
If Ang Lee and Lin Chaomu can accomplish this, it will naturally be the best result, because Lin Chaomu signed Yinhai’s four-year contract. If Ang Lee and Lin Chaomu got together, Ang Lee would probably stay with her.
Of course, even from a simple perspective, the two are quite suitable. Although the singer and artist circle is much cleaner than the film and television circle, there are also turbid places. Children like Lin Chaomu are very likely to fall into it, and often they are involuntarily.
But Lin Chaomu is an extremely strong child, the kind who would rather break than bend, while Ang Lee is an extremely talented young man. He does not need to be competing for the situation. Ang Lee can better protect Lin Chaomu from being hurt.
If these two people succeed, they may be a good story in the singer and artist circle in the future.
"Let it go."
Ang Lee waved his hand and slapped Ma Hu's eyes. Of course, he wouldn't tell Manager Zhao that he had confessed to Lin Chaomu. He wouldn't tell whether what Director Zhao said just now was the truth. After all, the world of martial arts has to be guarded against. Even if it is true, he wouldn't ask Manager Zhao to help.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. There is still a lot of space in the company. I will ask someone to prepare an office for you another day so that you can have your own independent space and come to the company to see it frequently." Manager Zhao nodded and stopped talking about this topic.
This means that Ang Lee's position in the team has been recognized. There are more than a dozen singers and artists in the Jinglu team, but only two have their own independent offices, one is Shen Yun and the other is Wang Lin. These two are considered the pillars of the team, and the others only have one workstation.
Ang Lee actually has a work station, but he has never been there before, and now he jumps directly to his own independent office.
This means that in the team, his status is already on par with Shen Yun and Wang Lin, which is a recognition from the team.
"I may not have time to come in the future. After all, I am still in school. It takes three hours to take the bus round and back, and I can't afford this time." Ang Lee waved his hand and said. Although it is quite good to have his own independent office in Yinhai, he probably won't have the blessing to enjoy it.
"Take a bus? Do you don't have a driver's license yet?" Manager Zhao asked for a moment. Nowadays, singers and artists have no car to drive their own cars. Some even hire drivers and assistants. It is much more convenient to do wherever you go. Unexpectedly, Ang Lee came by the bus.
It is definitely impossible to say that Ang Lee has no money. Even if Yin Hai’s guaranteed salary is saved for a few months, it is enough to buy a cheaper car. And he knew that Ang Lee’s deposit was more than 10 million, because this ten million was a reward from the company and it had already reached his pocket.
"There is, there are, but I don't go out much in normal times. And I just used the 10 million yuan to buy a house. I'm afraid I have to buy a car for a little longer." Ang Lee waved his hand and said. His demand for cars was not very high, so he didn't have the desire in this regard.
"Oh, it turns out that I'm buying a house. It's better to buy a house first. The car is a small problem. If you want a car, our company will have a lot of cars every year. You and I will go to the garage to see what cars are there. Then go to the finance department to get a key. Then the money is just deducted from the team. We have money now, right? It's okay to get a car inside the company."
Manager Zhao thought for a while and said that Yinhai buys some cars every year as tax deductions. If the internal employees buy these cars, the price is much cheaper, at least more than half the cheaper. Of course, excellent teams and employees are also qualified. The Jinglu team is now fully qualified.
"What about such a good thing?" Ang Lee rubbed his hands and said with a smile. Of course, it is much more cost-effective to buy from within the company, because most of these cars are bought by the company for tax deductions, and they will also have to be sold in a few years. Instead of putting them in the garage and falling into dust, it is better to sell them to excellent employees within the company at a cheaper price. This will not only increase the cohesion of outstanding employees but also save money and make the best use of the goods.
Manager Zhao doesn't care, and he is quite happy. Jing Lu can be promoted to Group B, and Ang Lee has a large part of his contribution to it, and he can be regarded as the real hero in the team.
Moreover, after being promoted to Group B, their team's annual funding increased a lot. It would be a drop in the bucket to buy a car from an internal company. With Ang Lee's value, a car is quite small. Even if the company gives him a special agent and assistant, and the driver is not an exaggeration, let alone a car.
Moreover, this can also increase Ang Lee's sense of belonging to the team, which only costs a small price.
The two talked for a while, and there was a mv of the song "Chiring" and Ang Lee was casual. The story of this song was very simple. The protagonist is an actor, and no one could tell that his face was painted colorfully at that time. Everyone was the same. He wanted to shoot it himself, but his current level was not enough, so he had to give up.
Then the two of them took the elevator downstairs and came to the underground garage on the first floor. The underground garage was not large in size. Those who could park their cars inside were all high-rise buildings of the company. Most artists' cars could only park in the paid parking lot outside, and the cars bought by the company to deduct taxes were also here.
Wherever you go along the way, you can see luxury cars. As the senior management of Yinhai, the salary and benefits are quite good. Due to the identity of everyone, everyone drives very good cars, basically starting from one million yuan.
Supervisor Zhao took Ang Lee to the garage used by the company to park tax-deductible cars. When the garage door opened, Ang Lee was confused.
Qingyishui's luxury cars, business cars and sports cars are available. The prices of cars that can be used to offset taxes are generally not cheap. Ang Lee suddenly suffered from the difficulty of choosing. These cars basically start from one million yuan, and he wants each one...
"This red horse is not bad." Ang Lee took a walk and finally stopped in front of a red sports car.
This is undoubtedly a luxury car, with a streamlined body quite cool. The Junma brand is equivalent to the Ferrari that Ang Lee was familiar with before, but this is not a supercar, but a SUV model, which combines the performance and comfort of a sports car. When Ang Lee passed by the garage just now, he found that many people were driving a car.
"I've decided? Then go to the Finance Department to get the keys and hand over the ID to the Finance Department. They will handle the procedures for you and deduct them directly from the team's account at that time." Manager Zhao nodded and smiled. Even if the original price of this car is not expensive, it can only be considered medium among all tax-deductible cars, and it is not a problem at all.
