The large-scale original music competition program "Sing My New Voice" launched by CCTV General Station ushered in the graduation season, and Shang Wenjie, as one of the mentors, composed the song "Ultimate Faith" for the show, opening the ultimate showdown of the graduation season.
The program is committed to creating Chinese original music, discovering more unique styles of singing and composing new sounds, under the double pressure of the popularity of cover songs and the popularity of "routine" network songs, the really excellent original music has been attacked, as a well-known musician Shang Wenjie has also been working hard for it.
Shang Wenjie's strength and popularity in the Chinese music scene are beyond doubt, from the champion of the fast girl that year to the new force in the music industry, she has always stood on the cusp with her unique style of electronic music and creative strength.
However, when she first debuted, she was also deeply involved in contract disputes, and was tied to sky-high liquidated damages by Tianyu, but after regaining her freedom and starting an independent business, she seemed to forget her wounds, and the same "black curtain" happened frequently to her artists.
Before the age of 24, Shang Wenjie had basically nothing to do with the entertainment industry, and if she insisted on getting closer, she could only be regarded as a French translator at the film festival.
However, this does not prevent her from always adhering to her interest in music in her spare time, and Shang Wenjie, who was born with a domineering physique, taught herself songwriting and drum kits, and when she was in college, she won the opportunity to exchange and study in France because she participated in the National Collegiate French Song Competition.
Shang Wenjie's family is not rich, after her parents divorced, she lived with her father, men with children are always less careful than their mothers, and they can't guess the girls' intentions, so Shang Wenjie has been very independent since she was a child, learning to hide her emotions and digest them by herself.
Because she loves to sing and dance by nature, as a member of the recreation committee in the class, she has always been an active member, which also offsets some of her loneliness.
In 2001, Shang Wenjie was admitted to the French Department of Fudan University with excellent results, which sounded like a romantic major, and she completed the credits of the main business in only one year, and the remaining three years were busy going abroad to exchange and practice, and also got the university student entrepreneurship fund and opened a Chinese language training center.
After graduation, she was successfully hired by a French-funded company to become an assistant general manager, and Shang Wenjie was already a high-paid white-collar worker when others were still busy looking for a job.
But from beginning to end, Shang Wenjie had a dream that had been buried for many years, that is, to sing, because of the limitations of her family conditions, she did not go to an expensive music conservatory, but chose to major in French.
However, the emergence of "Fast Girl" gave her hope, this simple civilian-oriented draft event has a low threshold and low cost, which is most suitable for people like Shang Wenjie who have dreams but no way.
Because of insufficient preparation, Shang Wenjie was eliminated in the Hangzhou and Chengdu divisions, and then she came to Guangzhou, this time from the selection of songs to the appearance of careful preparations, and finally sang all the way to the second place in Guangzhou to rush to the national finals.
With a highly recognizable voice, a stable and ultra-high vocal range and a neutral and indifferent image, she quickly circled fans in the competition, and finally won the 2006 Supergirl championship with a super high vote of 5.19 million, and then signed a successful debut with Tianyu.
After the company's arrangement to open a concert, for the film soundtrack, to participate in the New Year's Eve concert, on the surface of the career development is smooth, and with the help of professional stylists, Shang Wenjie's image has gradually changed, weight loss, hairstyle, makeup and clothing on the lazy gaga exaggerated style.
Although it is difficult for Shang Wenjie to see what she looked like when she first debuted, she did win the crazy chase and love of fans at that time.
For a singer, the work is actually more important than popularity, but the strange thing is that Shang Wenjie's first personal EP "Dream Pontoon", was produced and released by Huayi.
Shang Wenjie's substantive cooperation with Tianyu actually lasted less than half a year, especially after the New Year's Eve concert, fans rarely saw her news.
At the same time, it was frequently reported that Shang Wenjie did not accept the company's arrangements, often played missing for no reason, etc. In April 2007, Shang Wenjie filed a complaint against Tianyu in court, and the two sides began to coordinate arbitration many times.
The difference between Shang Wenjie and Tianyu is mainly in the difference in musical concepts, Shang Wenjie hopes to make original music in her own style, while Tianyu feels that it is more important to quickly occupy the market, but the music created by Shang Wenjie is too niche.
Another important factor is that Tianyu has previously seen sweetness in Li Yuchun and wants Shang Wenjie to continue to take a neutral style and create a second Li Yuchun, but these are contrary to Shang Wenjie's personal wishes.
After the public termination of the contract, Shang Wenjie also changed her agent, and her attitude towards the speculation and criticism of the outside world was not to respond.
In the eyes of the new agent, Shang Wenjie is definitely not the kind of unscrupulous singer that Tianyu said, on the contrary, she signed a year with Tianyu, and the company only did a single "CRAZY LOVE" for her, and it was also questioned and criticized by fans, but the two only worked together for a month to complete the production of an EP, so it is definitely not a matter of the artist's working attitude.
Moreover, for more than half a year after that, Shang Wenjie was basically in a state of "snow hiding", and Tianyu's attitude also caused strong dissatisfaction among fans.
In the process of arbitration, Shang Wenjie's lawyer said that the contract between the company and the player is unreasonable, with the popularity and momentum that the player may gain because of the competition in the future is tied to the company, if the contract is not signed, the competition will be disqualified, and after the end of the competition, the player is required to unconditionally accept the company's packaging and work arrangements, once the player proposes to terminate the contract, it will have to pay a high amount of liquidated damages, and Shang Wenjie's liquidated damages will be as high as 7 million.
The arbitration lasted for two months and finally the dust settled, and the result given by Tianyu was that the two sides broke up peacefully, and Shang Wenjie said that she finally "two cleared" with Tianyu with the help of the new owner.
For the final amount of liquidated damages, the two sides did not accurately disclose it to the media and the public, but for fans, Shang Wenjie's departure from Tianyu is the result they most hope for.
After signing Huayi, Shang Wenjie's career returned to the peak, and her first solo album "Under van Gogh's Starry Sky" topped the major music charts, and won many pop music awards in the same year, truly becoming a new generation of chinese music players.
Although her later development was always controversial for her maverick personality and exaggerated styling, this did not affect her achievements in music in the slightest.
After the career development gradually stabilized, Shang Wenjie began to expand from the front of the stage to the backstage, and many artists also wanted to set up their own portal, and her friend Nie Xinyuan was the founder of the black gold agency, and Shang Wenjie later became one of the shareholders of the black gold.
Black gold has caught up with the dividends of the traffic era, and is very good at accurately exerting efforts to quickly win popular artists, especially good at achieving the effect of "idol quick success" through talent shows, variety shows, the Internet and other ways, which are more typical of Zeng Shunxi and Hou Minghao.
However, in 2019, Nie Xinyuan's privatization failed and he was forced to step down as the company's legal representative, after which Shang Wenjie took over as the big boss of the black gold company.
And shortly after she took office, she encountered the frozen period of the talent show, the original promotion of youth has your three trainees in the competition no one cares, before the company came up with the next step of the response plan, the talent show was completely stopped because of the "pour milk incident".
Since then, the road of "idol quick success" has been almost blocked, of course, the changes in the general environment not only affect the black gold company, peers are trying to find other ways to quickly introduce their own love beans to the market, and Shang Wenjie has made a nest fight at this time.
In 2017, through the stage of "I Am a Singer", Shang Wenjie discovered Theimahi, a national treasure singer in Kazakhstan, but after signing the black gold, his status can be described as plummeting, and he once enjoyed the special plane transfer in the performance, the bodyguard assistant did not exist in the black gold, and even many times was photographed by netizens to stay at the airport because of the rush trip, and when attending the event, he was also pulled out to wear the old clothes that Nie Xinyuan eliminated.
The development direction that was originally said to be packaged and built according to the image of high-quality young artists has also been turned into the beauty line of idol Love Bean by black gold.
Moreover, in terms of resources, Dimahi was not given any tilt, on the contrary, it was lukewarm, and an artist missed the best period of development.
Not only that, in 2019, DiMaxi's official support will be suspected of defrauding 1.53 million, the event fermentation speed is particularly fast, the impact on Dimaxi is also very large, but Heijin did not give an attitude, and finally only clarified that fan behavior has nothing to do with the company and artists, and there is no positive publicity and statement to Dimaxi.
If this attitude is already for the introduction of artists, Shang Wenjie will not pity Xiang Xiangyu at all for her own small fresh meat that is red in her hand.
Zeng Shunxi and Hou Minghao are officially debuted as members of the fresh geek youth group, as the love bean of black gold, it should have been the elder of the company to do its best to support, the two have been good results since flying alone, Zeng Shunxi through the variety show "Flower Sister", TV series "Leaning On the Sky to Slaughter dragons" quickly out of the circle of fans, Hou Minghao is with "People Are Not Tough Teenagers" and "Tomb Robber Notes" and other works once reached the top of the popular xiaosheng position.
However, Shang Wenjie did not look at them differently, Zeng Shunxi earned no less than 30 million yuan for the company, and finally got only 3 million, and also had to deduct various taxes, living expenses lent to him by the company, etc., and finally there was little money left.
When Zeng Shunxi proposed to terminate the contract, the legal counsel calculated a liquidated damages of up to 40 million yuan, which not only frightened Zeng Shunxi, but also frightened Hou Minghao, who could only count the days and wait for the contract to expire and immediately transferred hesong.
In addition, Shang Wenjie even directly forced the promising 19-year-old Xiaohua into depression, Jiang Jiaen signed a contract with black gold and was deeply loved by Shang Wenjie with her lively and cute appearance, and she starred in the web drama "Chef Fang of the Flower Maker".
Although it is a small-scale network drama, but the broadcast effect is beyond expectations, just when the fans are looking forward to the sequel, suddenly came out the news of Jiang Jiaen's strike, at first the public opinion voice tended to the artist's disrespectfulness, and then gradually was pulled out of the company to squeeze the artist, the proportion of film remuneration is very outrageous, and even in the end the artist may have to find money to the company.
Not only that, but someone also released a piece of Shang Wenjie taking Jiang Jiaen to attend the party, and also introduced her company's newly signed little girl to a group of greasy middle-aged uncles, which was enough to make people think.
In addition to being repeatedly pulled out to squeeze artists with unequal contracts, Shang Wenjie has recently been involved in lawsuits, because Zeng Shunxi proposed to terminate the contract, and Heijin directly sued people in court, on the grounds that Zeng Shunxi took over the work without the permission of the company, demanded the other party to compensate for liquidated damages, and froze Zeng Shunxi's personal account.
The same case also includes Jiang Jiaen, who resigned from the small kitchen, the little girl earned less than 60,000 yuan in three years after her debut, and the black gold opened her mouth to let the family compensate more than one million, directly forcing Jiang Jiaen out of the circle, and there has been no such person since then.
Relatively speaking, Zeng Shunxi is lucky, after the court's first-instance and second-instance judgment last December, Zeng Shunxi terminated the contract without fault, and at the same time, the black gold needed to pay the share of 15 million yuan that had not been cashed to Zeng Shunxi, and when Zeng Shunxi's studio officially announced the news to the outside world, the fans were jubilant.
This year, some netizens pulled out that Shang Wenjie was restricted from spending, because the black gold company where she was a legal person was enforced to 8.725 million yuan, and the related case was Zeng Shunxi's termination case, that is to say, from the judgment to the present, Shang Wenjie did not pay the corresponding liquidated damages.
Lock the artist with an unequal contract, after the wool will not care whether the artist is dead or alive, but will use the compensation to hold the person firmly in his hand, a little disobedient to the court, Shang Wenjie's series of operations looks familiar, think of the Tianyu that once forced her to be miserable seems to be just like this, and now Shang Wenjie has finally become her most hated look.
