Chapter 141
After a good meal and a good drink, both the host and the guests were very happy!
They had only been together for half a day, and they couldn't even call each other's names, but they were reluctant to leave!
Chen Xi greeted Lin Yang and the members of the military choir one by one. He remembered that he had to collect interest, and he insisted on writing a song for the choir, saying that it was called, When That Day Comes...
He Nanting got anxious when he heard it. If he wrote songs for other people, he really couldn't explain to Zhang Xingyue!
Fortunately, Chen Xi said that this song would require hundreds of people to sing, and everyone understood. Although Chen Xi looked very humble, he was really drunk...
He was not inferior in boasting...
He smiled and agreed. Director He didn't care anymore. While Minister Xie was paying attention to Chen Xi, he quietly went to pay the bill!
Minister Xie saved a lot of money today...
Even Dean Peng smiled, and his impression of the image of capitalists changed a little!
Xiao Lou booked a hotel in the name of the Ministry of Culture that afternoon. Everyone was there. Chen Xi, supported by two members of the choir, staggered back to the hotel...
Minister Xie and Director He observed for a while, and only left with peace of mind when they saw that Chen Xi still remembered to wash his face.…
……
June 25, eight o'clock!
Chen Xi woke up and saw a message on his phone from Director He,"#ChenXi, call me when you wake up, I'll take you to eat delicious food!"
He rubbed his head, his head was splitting with a headache!
He staggered to the bathroom to wash up, and then called Director He!
Chen Xi followed Director He and looked for it all the way...
Finally, the old Yanjing bean juice!
Chen Xi's eyes lit up, isn't this the bean juice that is praised on the Internet!
This taste is not only sweet and sour, but also sour and astringent, with a very good taste and endless aftertaste!
Director He and Chen Xi each drank three bowls in a row, and then put down the bowl in their hands with reluctance...
Looking at each other, they all looked scared...
Catch the plane! Back to Shanghai!
Chen Xi was still drunk, and he slept on the plane. After two hours, he arrived at Shanghai Airport!
As soon as he left the terminal, Director He quickly picked a lighter.
Normally, he doesn’t have a smoking habit, but after taking a plane, he felt particularly craving for one. Standing in front of the trash can in the terminal, Director He took a deep breath and looked at the time. It was almost one o’clock!
"Chen Xi, I'll take you home later. I have to go to the company. Mr. Zhang is back."
Chen Xi thought for a while and said,"Director He, I have to go to the company too.""
"Why are you going to the company? You should take a rest."
"I have to send the simple score of"Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies" to Zhou Kai"
"I'll post it tomorrow."
"Let's post it today. They know I'm going to Shanghai today, so they should be anxious, but they are too embarrassed to ask."Chen Xi recalled the first time the Dream Band played"Boundless Oceans and Skies". They quarreled over a disagreement, which was quite interesting!
"OK, let's go together."Director He stopped trying to stop him, put out the cigarette in his hand, and waved to stop a taxi...
In the taxi, Chen Xi sat in the passenger seat and decided to ask Director He about the question he had been thinking about last night.
"Director He, has Star Entertainment ever thought about expanding overseas?"
"Abroad?"Director He pondered,"I have been developing and hitting a wall. Small places are not very inclusive, and the energy and funds invested are not proportional to the returns. Large places..." Director He sighed,
"We are mostly imitating other people's music styles, how can we develop it?"
Chen Xi nodded. In that world, in the 1990s, most people bought other people's music scores and wrote their own lyrics. Many popular songs of that era can basically be found abroad. It was not until after 2000 that a group of excellent original musicians emerged, and Chinese style music gradually rose!
"Mr. He, if there is a suitable song, do you think we can make money abroad?"Chen Xi's thoughts never stopped, interest, interest!
Director He looked at Chen Xi a little strangely. As a composer, he had too many ideas, but he still answered Chen Xi's questions seriously.
"If our songs are only suitable for their market, you have to remember an exclusive principle. It is difficult to make money under crowding and suppression. If they are suitable for both our market and their market, then we can make a little money, unless..."
Director He did not continue speaking here.
Chen Xi understood what Director He said. This is the problem of funds and energy he mentioned. It is not worth working hard in other people's markets.
It is better to understand the market carefully first!
Director He saw Chen Xi frowning and said earnestly,"In fact, our market is very inclusive, but the strong inclusiveness also proves that our music style is not diverse enough and cannot meet everyone's listening needs. People are willing to work hard in our market because they can make money!"
Director He gave the answer directly,"For example, the cold wave...
Hearing this, Chen Xi wanted to retort. In that world, although the Korean wave has been popular for more than ten years, its market share is only that small now. Who made you have no one!!!
After thinking about it, it was too sensational, so he didn't say it out loud.
The driver was a young man. He was driving while listening to the two people talking. They looked exhausted. All they could hear was shock, resistance, and cold current... He silently lowered the air-conditioner temperature...
He smiled disdainfully in his heart and silently remembered the appearance of the two people. Later, he proudly said to everyone he met,"Do you know who I picked up when I was driving a taxi?
The Magic City Central Building!
Director He and Chen Xi entered the elevator!
Chen Xi pressed the 11th floor, He Nanting went to General Manager Zhang's office, and Chen Xi entered the composition department...
Today is Sunday, and there is no one in the composition department. Chen Xi sat at his workstation, turned on the computer, entered the password, called up the simple score of"Boundless Oceans and Skies", and began to add interludes, solos, and outro...
The Dream Band is going to perform in the bar, so I'll give them the complete version of the concert, and help them practice their playing techniques. I'll edit while reminiscing...
Sadness surged again���In my heart...
In the chairman's office!
Zhang Xingyue gave He Nanting another cigarette.…
"Nan Ting, I feel like you are less and less like a businessman…"
He Nan Ting took the cigarette, but did not light it. He put it on the coffee table and looked at Zhang Xingyue with a wry smile…
Zhang Xingyue paused for a few seconds and sorted out what he was going to say,"We sold two songs to Qianshan Culture, and the key is that you still believe that the quality of these two songs is extremely high, but Yang Dashan turned around and stabbed us. Do you believe it?"
He Nan Ting still smiled bitterly…
Zhang Xingyue hadn’t finished speaking,"You are awesome for selling it for 10 million. You are going to give it all to Chen Xi after deducting taxes. I agree, but from your tone, I don’t agree, for fear that you will turn against me…"
Then, Zhang Xingyue’s tone became relaxed,"This trip to Yanjing is indeed fruitful. The recruitment fee from the Palace Museum’s Ministry of Culture should be rejected. We will make it up to Chen Xi, after all, we got to know President Zeng and Minister Xie; Xiao Yuanpeng also did a great job in this matter." At this point, Zhang Xingyue suddenly laughed,
"Hahaha, Ning Jing ran away, and you kidnapped her senior brother, she is really beautiful!"
Seeing that He Nanting didn't say anything, Zhang Xingyue became puzzled, it seems that he is hiding something from me,"Dingjun Mountain, right? Isn't the song recorded? Let me listen to it!"
He Nanting was even more miserable,"The USB flash drive is in Chen Xi's bag, he is going to send songs to people now!"
Zhang Xingyue frowned,"Nanting, just say it directly!"
"That song"Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies"..., have you seen the simple score? Chen Xi met a band in Yanjing and gave it to them to sing!"
Zhang Xingyue stood up and laughed angrily,"Nanting, if I don't come back, the company will be ruined by you. Just that song, are you... willing to give it up?!"
After saying this, he no longer paid attention to He Nanting, stood up, walked to his desk, picked up a form, walked back, and threw it in front of He Nanting,
"Hanguo trainees, personnel!"
Fortunately, He Nanting had anticipated this situation and left a back-up plan for himself! Picking up the form and looking at the names of the artists one by one, his eyes lit up, God help me!
"Mr. Zhang, Cheng Quan doesn’t need to go!"
"Why not go there? Getting paid as an artist and doing cleaning work?" Zhang Xingyue was still furious!
He Nanting smiled smugly,"Mr. Zhang, please sit down first and calm down." Mr. Zhang sat down angrily, lit another cigarette, took a deep puff, and without even looking at He Nanting, he tapped the ash heavily in the ashtray...
He Nanting spoke with ease,"Chen Xi wrote a song for Cheng Quan that ranked in the top three on the Rookie List."
Zhang Xingyue raised his head...
He Nanting continued indifferently,"And gave a big gift to Star Entertainment for its 20th anniversary!"
Zhang Xingyue finally asked,"What big gift?!
He Nanting recalled that he didn't seem to have cried in the company, just that one time?
"a song!"
"the brightest star in the night sky!"
