Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 35 Dig him over for me!
On the Internet, the song "Learning to Meow" continued to become popular, and "Bai Suzhen under the Qingcheng Mountain" suddenly emerged, which quickly attracted the attention of Jinye's old rival Xingcan Records.

In the general manager's office on the sixth floor of Xingcan Records Building near Yongding Gate on the South Second Ring Road, Zhao Wenshan, the company's vice chairman and general manager, is discussing this matter with Wei Kai, the music director.

"What's wrong with Jinye recently? It's making big moves? Originally, Lin Nana's song "The Final Countdown" could occupy the top spot for at least seven consecutive weeks based on our initial analysis, but it ended up being kicked out of the championship for four weeks. Like A slobbery song like "Learn to Meow" can be crowned champion?"

Zhao Wenshan, who combed back his hair, was a little unbelievable.

Wei Kai felt a little helpless when he heard this, leaned back his thin body, stroked his long hair, and said:
"Although "Learning to Meow" is not high in terms of artistic value, this does not prevent the audience from liking it, but this is the market."

Speaking of this, Wei Kai's expression became serious: "Another song by Jinye "Bai Suzhen under the Qingcheng Mountain" should not be underestimated. Now it has firmly ranked third in the major rankings, second only to "Learning to Meow" and " The Final Countdown, but I'm sure it will surpass those two soon!"

"More importantly, this ancient style of singing with a dramatic accent seems to have created a genre of popular songs! And it will be popular in the future, so we have to plan ahead and think of ways in this regard."

After hearing Wei Kai's analysis, Zhao Wenshan nodded appreciatively.

He admired Wei Kai's vision very much.

As a music director of a company, not only can you discover singers and good songs, but more importantly, you must have a keen eye.

It is very important to be able to grasp the future hot spots of the market.

"Wei Kai, did you notice that the song "Learning to Meow" and the song "Bai Suzhen at the bottom of Qingcheng Mountain" are written by the same person: Yu Dongqing!" Zhao Wenshan exclaimed.

"Mr. Zhao, I already knew it. Not only that, but I also found out that there is a very explosive soundtrack in the "Jianghu Inn" that was just released. It is called "Small Knife Club Overture". It is the BGM of the protagonist's last appearance. It was also made by Yu Dongqing!"

"He also wrote that soundtrack?" Zhao Wenshan gasped when he heard that. "To be honest, the filming is average, but that BGM is really exciting! Who is this Yu Dongqing? I seem to have never heard of it." over this person."

"Mr. Zhao, have you forgotten? How many good songs did Yu Dongqing sing when he debuted more than ten years ago?" Wei Kai reminded.

"Oh" Zhao Wenshan slapped his head: "I remember, it's him, um, the young man is very handsome, and he has a good singing voice. At that time, our Xingcan was planning to sign a contract with him, but I didn't know that he was ill and his vocal cords were damaged. Yes, I know this is a pity. Later I heard that he joined Jinye and became an arranger?" Zhao Wenshan finally asked.

"Yes, I have learned specifically that Yu Dongqing has been unknown since entering Jinye as an arranger, and he is not very popular in the company, but for some reason, his talent has suddenly appeared recently, and he has written several popular songs in a row!"

Zhao Wenshan slowly turned the boss chair, and suddenly leaned forward to look at Wei Kai: "Then tell me, is it possible for us to poach him? Let's sign a special contract for him! Except for the copyright of the song belongs to him, the copyright The share is also tilted towards him! Open with the company on June [-]th!"

When Wei Kai heard that this was a big deal!

Generally, the copyright share that companies give to copyright creators is at most [-] to [-], and the company takes the bulk.

"this."

Wei Kai pondered for a while: "That's good, but that Yu Dongqing may not agree."

Zhao Wenshan didn't understand, and asked, "Why?"

"Because, Wu Lan, the music director of Jinye Records, is Yu Dongqing's alumni, and the two have a good relationship. He has been taken care of by Wu Lan for so many years in Jinye Records. According to people, this Yu Dongqing is very nostalgic. "Wei Kai explained.

That's it!

Zhao Wenshan pondered for a while, then raised his head: "Even so, I still want to try! I don't believe that Yu Dongqing will have trouble with Qian! Wei Kai, go and meet him, explain what I mean, and get him here! "

Wei Kai was a little embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, Mr. Zhao, I have a friend named Zhang Yang, who has a good relationship with Yu Dongqing. Let's see if we can persuade Yu Dongqing through him?"

"Okay, no matter what method you use! You tell him, how much Jinye pays him on weekdays, we Xingcan will double it!"

This afternoon, when she was about to get off work, Yu Dongqing was packing up the things on her desk, and suddenly received a call from Zhang Yang: "Holly, is there anything tonight? It's okay, let's go have a drink or two."

"To Yimin's tavern?" Yu Dongqing asked with a smile.

"No, I'm tired of going there all the time. Let's change places. How about Yan Jingliang?"

Ah?Yan Jingliang?
Yanjingliang belongs to the restaurant of Haytt's hotels. It is located on the 66th floor of the Park Hyatt Hotel on Jianguomenwai Street, Chaoyang District. It has a 360-degree view of the charm of the ancient city of BJ and the style of a modern metropolis. It not only overlooks the Chang'an Street at your feet , and you can see Xishan from Guomao at a glance. This is a place frequented by celebrities.

As one of the high-consumption restaurants in the imperial capital, it is also a new landmark of consumption in Yanjing. The price is naturally high, and the average consumption price per person is around [-] yuan!
It's not that Zhang Yang can't afford the money, it's just that they are old buddies, there is no need to go to these flashy places.

Wouldn't it be better to find a cleaner barbecue stand, drink beer and kebabs?
"Zhang Yang, is there something wrong?" Yu Dongqing keenly sensed Zhang Yang's strangeness today.

"Hehe, there is something wrong, and it's a good thing! It's not my treat today, but a friend of mine. You'll know when you come!" Zhang Yang said on the phone.

So mysterious?

Yu Dongqing was very curious, but still readily agreed.

After work, I took the subway home first, changed my white shirt and trousers into a T-shirt and casual trousers, and then drove straight to Jianguomen.

After arriving at the Park Hyatt Hotel and parking the car in the underground parking lot, Yu Dongqing took the elevator and went straight to the restaurant on the top floor of the building.

I saw that the entire restaurant uses dark wooden floors with inlaid pebbles, and brick walls designed in Yanjing Hutong, presenting guests with a low-key and simple Chinese-style courtyard entrance.

Entering the restaurant, you can see that it is surrounded by water features, bamboo forests and Chinese banyan trees, providing guests with a quiet outdoor garden above the noisy city.

At a table by the window, Yu Dongqing saw Zhang Yang in overalls, and next to him was a thin middle-aged man with long hair in a T-shirt, who looked like a literary worker, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Yu Dongqing strode over, Zhang Yang and the man stood up, Zhang Yang introduced with a smile, "Holly, this is Wei Kai, music director of Xingcan Records, and also my good friend."

"Hello, Mr. Yu, you've heard of him for a long time." Wei Kai stretched out his right hand proactively.

Xingcan's music director?

No wonder the face is familiar.

Yu Dongqing was secretly surprised.

What did he come to find himself for?Also specially treat guests to this high-end place?
There was an answer in my heart.
