Artist Department.
"Hello, Director Zhao!"
"Director Zhao, what brings you here?"
"Director Zhao, you're here personally, is a senior producer releasing a song?"
"A senior producer isn't qualified for Director Zhao to make a personal trip. Could it be Ting Yu releasing a song?"
"..."
Zhao Yuan was undoubtedly one of the most sought-after people by all the singers in Xinghui.
However, she rarely visited the Artist Department, so the singers seldom had a chance to speak with her.
"Heh heh, that's right, Ting Yu is releasing a song."
Zhao Yuan smiled slightly.
"Hiss... Releasing a song so soon?"
"Director Zhao, how do I look? My singing is top-notch, and I'm still on a new artist contract!"
"Director Zhao, is Ting Yu looking for a new artist again? How do I look? I'm also on a new artist contract!"
"I just transferred from Coast, and I also signed a new artist contract!"
"Director Zhao, can it be delayed by two days? My contract is still being revised and will soon become a new artist contract."
"..."
Everyone was recommending themselves in a torrent of words.
What surprised Zhao Yuan the most was that some second-tier singers among them were willing to change their contracts to new artist ones.
Moreover, several new faces, who must have transferred from other companies, were also signed to new artist contracts...
"Why are you all changing your contracts?"
She asked, puzzled.
"Ahem... Director Zhao, please don't keep us in suspense. It's already spread throughout the industry that Ting Yu supports new artists and selflessly writes songs for them!"
"Exactly, Ting Yu is a saint in the composing world. Other composers choose the hottest and most famous singers, but he's different. He never puts on airs and supports new artists without seeking reward!"
"I've never admired anyone in my life, but Ting Yu is one. If he lived in ancient times, he would be a great hero who helps the weak!"
The more they spoke, the more outrageous it became.
They had directly praised Ting Yu to the heavens.
Zhao Yuan was also stunned on the spot.
Then, she nodded at everyone with a strange expression and said, "Since you all know, then work hard and strive for success. There will always be opportunities. I'll go see Director Chen first."
After saying that.
Amidst everyone's cheers, she quickly walked towards the Artist Department Director's office.
On her face, a wry smile appeared.
Has Su Yu been portrayed as so divine now?
A saint in the composing world?
An ancient great hero?
If they knew.
The reason Su Yu chose new artists was because new artists were cheaper.
Would their faith collapse then...
Of course, Zhao Yuan had no intention of doing so.
The persona of a saint in the composing world was quite good.
Let them have a belief.
If the news of a bunch of second and third-tier singers coming to Xinghui to be new artists spread, it would likely shock their peers.
...
While contemplating.
Zhao Yuan arrived at the office of the Artist Department Director, Chen Tao.
However.
She ran into Chen Yong discussing matters with him.
"Yuanyuan, why are you here?"
Chen Yong had worked with Zhao Yuan for so long that they finally achieved their happy ending, and their address had become intimate.
"Sister-in-law..."
And the most speechless one was the Artist Department Director, Chen Tao.
He was Chen Yong's younger brother.
Originally, he and Zhao Yuan were in a competitive relationship, but now, Zhao Yuan had directly become his sister-in-law, and her status was higher than his, which made him a little upset.
"I won't delay your time. I'm here to get a singer's contract. It's about to be signed."
Zhao Yuan's personality had also softened considerably after falling in love, becoming less cold than before.
"You could have just asked your assistant to get the contract, no need to come in person."
Chen Tao said with a smile.
"It needs to be signed now. Give me a profit-sharing contract."
Zhao Yuan continued.
"Profit-sharing?" Chen Tao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and asked, "Okay, how many layers?"
"One-nine split."
Zhao Yuan said lightly.
"Isn't that too little? The lowest new artists now get a three-seven split. If you get a one-nine contract, it might be a bit of bullying."
Chen Tao was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.
Even if it was for the sake of Zhao Yuan being his sister-in-law, giving her a fifty-fifty split contract wouldn't be a problem.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuan shook her head and said, "We get ten percent."
Chen Tao's smile froze: "Sister-in-law, are you kidding me? Given Xinghui's current position in Shuangqing, even A-list singers wouldn't get such treatment..."
His expression was a little displeased. Such a contract was more suitable for Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Queens.
And popular Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Queens at that!
Those who had already passed their prime wouldn't even qualify!
"Yuanyuan, don't mess around. This kind of contract isn't easy to sign. Now that we have the head office, if it's discovered, we'll all be scolded."
Chen Yong also persuaded her from the side.
The company used to be his, so signing it was fine.
At most, they would lose some money.
But now it was different. He was working for others.
If Zhao Yuan was willful and the head office found out, it would be difficult to handle.
Zhao Yuan asked calmly, "No deal?"
"Impossible!"
"Yuanyuan, don't be willful. We are a formal company and must have our principles..."
The two brothers exchanged glances and said in unison.
Zhao Yuan's lips curved: "What if this person is Su Yu?"
Chen Tao and Chen Yong were stunned upon hearing this.
After about a few seconds, their eyes widened in surprise.
"Su Yu wants to be a singer?"
Chen Tao's voice broke as he asked incredulously.
"That's right, he's already in the recording studio. Sign or not?"
Zhao Yuan showed a playful smile.
"Sign!"
"Quick, find the contract and sign it immediately!"
Chen Tao's face was full of joy.
Chen Yong also came to his senses.
The two brothers ran to the cabinet and rummaged for the contract.
They were too hasty and spilled the contracts on the floor, but they ignored it and continued searching.
"Brother, you don't even know where the contract is. Stop messing around and go find the official seal over there!"
Chen Tao said anxiously.
"Okay!" Chen Yong nodded repeatedly.
Seeing the two brothers in a mess, Zhao Yuan felt very pleased.
She walked to Chen Tao's boss chair, sat down, leaned back, and watched the two of them busy themselves with a smile.
Soon, Chen Tao held a contract, and Chen Yong held the official seal.
"Heh heh, Sister-in-law, the contract is ready. Come on, I'll personally sign it with him!"
Chen Tao was bowing and scraping, no longer having the demeanor of a director.
"Didn't you say it was impossible? Didn't you tell me not to be willful? Didn't you say we had to have principles?" Zhao Yuan asked slowly.
"Ahem, Yuanyuan, I was wrong..."
"Sister-in-law, it was me who lacked foresight. Please don't be angry."
The two brothers put on a fawning smile.
"Let's go."
Zhao Yuan finally nodded with satisfaction.
She got up and walked outside.
Seeing this, the brothers quickly followed.
...
"Sister-in-law, why does that kid Su Yu want to be a singer?"
"Yuanyuan, what's going on?"
On the way, the two brothers asked curiously.
"He wrote a new song and wants to sing it himself," Zhao Yuan said concisely.
"A new song?"
"Could it be the one collaborating with the Chinese Medicine Association?"
The two brothers continued to ask.
Zhao Yuan nodded: "That's right."
Then, she continued to ask, "Why aren't you asking about his singing ability?"
"Ahem... Is that important?"
"The child wants to play, just indulge him."
The two brothers answered in unison.
