the longest dream

Chapter 121
Zhang Qing regrets that the release of Dujuan Records outside the mainland is handled by Wireless Huaxing Records.

Wu Cheng, who was originally planning to share a piece of the pie, was disappointed and said enviously: "Qingzi, you have a lot of connections. Can you also connect with TVB's line?"

Originally, he wanted to be a broker, to earn some passing money... and take a [-]% share.

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Uncle Liu likes to support the younger generation, but I am too embarrassed to take advantage of the old man, and will pay the full distribution fee. Huaxing Records follows the old rules of TVB, guaranteeing the release. If Angkor is willing, I can introduce it for you. The manager of Huaxing Records."

Wu Cheng lost interest when he heard the words, and released with a guarantee, no matter how much the album could be released, he had to pay a large amount of distribution fee first.

In addition, there is also the need to press the goods. In mainland China, cassettes are the mainstay. The recording cost of a cassette is less than one yuan, and the distribution channel is five yuan. It is ten yuan, and there is meat to eat.

But Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Nanyang are mainly based on CD records, and the recording fee is ten times that of cassette tapes.

It's not that Wu Cheng can't afford it, but there is a high probability that he will pay it. Who can afford it?

When it comes to music, the current fashion trend in mainland China is hard to escape the rustic style, and there is really not much market there.

Unless, there is a golden song like "Women's Flower".

Even if it hasn't been released yet, Wu Cheng and other veterans have concluded that this is an excellent golden song.

But... such golden songs, even Zhang Qing couldn't write many.

Otherwise, is there any reason?
Wu Cheng shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's guard the three-acre land in Pingjing with Mai first. But you can do it, now that Huading and Mercury are recruiting troops to attack the city in our mainland, you actually want to go to their hometown. Huading Ding and Mercury are backed by British-funded water hoses, and we are all under pressure to defend."

Zhang Qing jokingly said: "Kou can go, so can I."

"Huh!"

Qiao Zetao jokingly said, "I've only seen the ambition of young people today. I thought you were too old-fashioned before. When you go to the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, are you still planning to go to the Atlantic Ocean to dominate the Grammys?"

Zhang Qing shook his head and said: "Du Juan may have such a day, but it has nothing to do with dominance. Making music sincerely and making excellent music is Du Juan's only mission."

Wu Cheng's eyes flickered, he laughed and said, "You have such ideals, is ten people enough?"

Zhang Qing smiled, and said straight to the point: "Du Juan makes music. To put it more selfishly, it is to satisfy my pleasure of writing songs. But a person's talent is limited after all, and music is only a part of my life, isn't it? All. Angkor, Dujuan and Hemai may be competitors, but it must be a healthy competition. Dujuan will not dispute with any internal entertainment records, unless the other party makes the first move. Dujuan will definitely be able to compete with industry giants such as Hemai, Tengfei, and Baihua , peaceful coexistence, and even happy cooperation.”

"Peaceful coexistence... Niubi!"

Li Feng raised his chin, and said to Zhang Qing half in praise and half in sarcasm.

Even Qi Ping and Li Suzhi were a little surprised. Today's Zhang Qing, different from the humble and cautious in the past, actually felt a little calm and even strong.

It's not his usual style... But in a blink of an eye, I realized that today, Zhang Qing is facing these old cannons as the owner of Dujuan Records. Shit on the neck is not allowed.

When has there been warmth in shopping malls?
But the two of them did not expect that Zhang Qing would adapt to the role of the boss so quickly...

Wu Cheng also reacted, and then asked jokingly: "Qingzi, your company hasn't opened yet, and you're talking about being equal to us and co-existing peacefully?"

Zhang Qing said: "Ang Kor, I'm not going to come with you. I have a good relationship with TVB, and Uncle Six takes good care of me. Huaxing Records has fallen, but the distribution channel is still there, and it is backed by TVB, and its distribution ability is still very strong. In addition , Uncle Liu donates more than [-] million yuan to the mainland every year. If Huaxing wants to come in, there is no place from top to bottom that dares to block. Does the official audio-visual company dare to blackmail others, dare to black Huaxing?"

Wu Cheng said solemnly: "Qingzi, if you do this, you will have no way to deal with it in the future. To put it bluntly, you are colluding with outsiders and copying our own lair."

Huaxing plus official audio and video, this is turning the table!

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Angkor, Hong Kong Island is about to return, we are a family. Besides, TVB is not a British investment, but a pure Chinese investment. How can it be regarded as an outsider? However, I really don't want to say more I owe Uncle Six favors, and I don’t want to get too close to Guan Zikou. The most important thing is, I never thought of becoming the king and hegemony in this industry, I just want to make some music that I want to make peacefully. So I I just said that I hope to coexist peacefully with all families. Mr. Wu, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Wu Cheng took a deep look at Zhang Qing and said with a smile: "Qingzi, you are really surprising people more and more. Don't worry, some old ones have opened their mouths. Now that old Qi is here, you still write to Xiaochang. It’s such a good song. I’ve made Du Juan my friend with Mai, and we’ll see each other more in the future.”

Zhang Tianmao touched his bald head, and smoothed things over with a smile: "Old Wu, this little brother of mine behaves like this. He speaks everything first, and sometimes it feels uncomfortable to listen to, but this is where Qingzi is sincere. Words If you make it clear, act openly, and don't hide and play tricks. When you get along with such a person, don't worry. You treat him well, and he treats you well, it's as simple as that!"

……

The excitement dissipated, and the noise subsided.

In the evening, Qi Ping finished delivering the guests.

Zhang Qing originally wanted to leave a long time ago, but was left by Li Suzhi until the end.

After the song ended, Li Suzhi looked at Zhang Qing, smiled and said, "You coped well today, how did you learn?"

Zhang Qing paused, then laughed softly: "Juanzi taught me a little bit, and Sister Zhao also raised a few words. The boss of the company can't lose his momentum when he is outside, and he can't always pretend to be a junior. When it's time to show his fangs , you should be stronger. Sister Zhao is still on Hong Kong Island, otherwise it would be better for her to come forward in these matters."

Li Suzhi sighed, temporarily avoided Qi Juan's matter, and asked, "Zhao Qiang is still on Hong Kong Island?"

Zhang Qing nodded and said, "Phoenix Film Company was established there. Sister Zhao is very ambitious and wants to strike while the iron is hot and make two more movies. The average cycle of making movies on Hong Kong Island is less than a month now, which is crazy."

After a busy day, Qi Ping breathed a sigh of relief, sat lazily aside and smiled, "Don't push yourself hard, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Zhang Qingdao: "We speculate that these two years may be the last glorious moment of Hong Kong Island films, especially after the reunification next year, it is basically impossible for Hong Kong Island films to do anything in other cities. Sister Zhao wants to accumulate as much capital as possible so that plan for the future."

Qi Ping smiled and said, "You are acting uncharacteristically today, are you worried that Wu Cheng will trip you up after the release of the new album?"

Zhang Qing glanced at Hua Die, nodded and said: "Sister Hua sang so amazingly today, none of the people who came here today are newcomers, you should see the potential of this album. Although Brother Zhang has spoken before, if Du Juan is just a small hit Wu Cheng just turned a blind eye to the little trouble, but once he became famous, he really might not have to sell the face of Big Brother Zhang. Even if he didn't suppress it on the surface, he would play tricks behind his back.

I'm going to start school right now, and I'm going to be the shopkeeper. Sister Hua and Sister Shen are the only two in the company. If you don't make it clear in advance, if they bully the two girls who come to the door, you will be willing to be bullied, and it will be more troublesome to turn your face later. "

Hua Die smiled at the side: "It's okay... we just have to bear with it, how can we turn our faces?"

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "We are making music, not being angry. We can make less money, but there is no need to humble ourselves with anyone, especially you."

Hua Die was overwhelmed with emotion, but said: "Oh, just take good care of someone like Yanyan. I'm already old, so it's fine to go out and socialize."

Zhang Qing still shook his head and said: "After this album is released, you, Sister Hua, will become one of the top female singers in the Chinese music scene. And with the passage of time and baptism, the golden songs will only become more and more classic, and sooner or later you will be a queen .I don’t count on you to earn gold and silver mountains, so just stand up straight and sing.”

Huadie looked at Qi Ping and said with a smile: "It's like a dream, is there such a good thing? Brother Qi didn't get such treatment back then."

Qi Ping said with a smile: "I'm not the boss... It's fine to be the boss at the beginning, but it's a miscalculation."

Li Suzhi thought more deeply, looked at Zhang Qing and said, "Zhang Qing, don't become extreme because of what happened that day. You can learn lessons, but don't overcorrect."

Qi Ping also became serious, Zhang Qing smiled slightly, and said with a slightly regretful expression: "Auntie, I don't hold any grudges. After that day, I reflected a lot and summed up a lot of things that I didn't think well. We here know that I made a gambling film. Those parents who praised and supported me because of the Youth Daily report may be very disappointed. So, I plan to make up for it in the future...

But I still don't think I did a big mistake. I cast and shoot movies outside for the purpose of capital accumulation.

The development of Tianhong Heavy Industry may not be bright and aboveboard, especially outside.

Auntie, you don't think I'm arrogant, do you?Take the matter of making movies and compare it with Tianhong. "

Li Suzhi looked softly, and said: "What can't be compared? Cultural career is also a career. Now you are also a person in a company, and you have officially entered the society. It is very good to have your own thinking and experience. As for which one is right? Let time tell which is wrong. It's good for you because time is on your side."

Zhang Qing now has enough time and capital to grow up amid setbacks.

Zhang Qing didn't expect Li Suzhi to say that. He felt a little ashamed and said: "Society is much more complicated than studying, and I am far behind. For example, today, I may be a little radical. It's just that if I don't clearly express my position, those people They will think that there is room for manipulation. After I go to school, I can’t show up often. Sister Zhao, Sister Hua, and Yanyan in the future will all be the objects of their condescension. So I have to tell them in advance that Du Juan does not have to compromise , if you are in a hurry, you can even lift the table."

Qi Ping joked: "I went to Hong Kong Island and found a good backer."

Zhang Qing was ashamed: "The fox pretends to be the tiger and takes advantage of the situation, which is not honorable."

Li Suzhi said solemnly: "Knowing how to take advantage of the situation is not to be pedantic, nor is it to show off one's power, but to preserve oneself and maintain principles. How can this be considered a fake tiger's prestige? You don't have to be perfect in life and things, and no one can become a saint. Yan You don’t need to have any psychological burden if Yan is here with us. Apart from the matter between you and Juanzi, as far as you are concerned, Auntie appreciates it very much.”

Qi Ping reminded: "Zhang Qing, there are gains and losses. If you want to be a clear stream in the entertainment circle, you may have to isolate yourself from the entertainment circle. They don't suppress you to make films, but other things, such as awards, music, etc. They are very influential in terms of critics and approval of concerts. If Dujuan Records does not follow their rules, it will be too difficult to get ahead.

Even if you don't care, the singers under the banner won't care, don't make it to the end that the inside and outside are not human. "

Hua Die quickly expressed his attitude: "I definitely won't. For me, the money is enough to support my parents and children. With this album, I'm sure I can't use it all up."

Zhou Yanyan also felt that she should speak, and said softly and crisply, "Me too."

Although Qi Ping didn't say much, he still shook his head and smiled.

Entering Vanity Fair, who really doesn't care?

As soon as he entered the rivers and lakes, he couldn't help himself, how could he just talk about it...

But Zhang Qing said with a smile: "They can't cover the sky with one hand. At most, they will cause us some troubles and obstacles to slow down Dujuan's footsteps. But Dujuan never thought of being confined to the mainland. Sister Hua has to learn English when she has free time. Yanyan needs to learn both Cantonese and English. Again, we don’t want to compete for fame and wealth, or to be the king or hegemony. But there are many paths, and we can always take it easy.”

Hua Die admired Zhang Qing's ambition very much, but still exclaimed: "Learn English, me?"

Zhou Yanyan was also shocked: "I don't even speak Mandarin very well..."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Don't look at me, I can't really do much. One is to write songs, and the other is not eager for quick success. I use you as a cash cow and force you to keep going.

Beyond that, it's basically up to you to succeed.

If you don't work hard and don't work hard, no matter how much I do, it will be useless. "

Qi Ping looked at his wife who couldn't hide his admiration in his eyes, and smiled wryly in his heart.

It would be great if Zhang Qing was their son...

This boy is the perfect son model in Li Suzhi's heart.

I have seen so many juniors, and there are some who are called young heroes, but Li Suzhi didn't point out any of them.

Although she likes to preach to Zhang Qing, it is because she admires Zhang Qing that she imparts her wisdom, knowledge and experience.

In the eyes of those who really understand, these teachings are priceless.

It's just... a pity.

Tsk, but it's hard to say, let's see fate...

Everyone knew what her daughter was thinking, and Qi Juan even called out Zhang Qing as her beloved in front of the old man.

If the test of studying abroad can't separate the two, then Qi Ping thinks that it's hard to say what will happen in the future.

If Zhang Qing really made a splash in the cultural industry, it would be even more difficult for the old man to stop him.

However, looking at the way Zhou Yanyan looked at Zhang Qing, Qi Ping suddenly felt that it was too much...
