the longest dream

Chapter 280 Trouble

At around [-]:[-] in the evening of the next day, a Cadillac and two MVPs slowly parked in the small courtyard in front of tomorrow's bar.

Zhang Qing, Qi Juan, Qi Ping, Xu Zhen, Shen Xin, Ouyang Wanqing, and Yue Linger stood in front of the door to welcome them.

"Brother Wen, welcome."

After the car door was opened, a group of smiling Chinese music big brothers and kings came down. Zhang Qing stepped forward, turned a blind eye to Wu Cheng and Qiao Zetao who were about to introduce, and shook hands with "old friend" Wen Mingcheng.

After shaking hands, Wen Mingcheng took the initiative to hug him, and said with a smile, "Qingzai, we have had a five-day study class for the album "I Am a Girl". Originally, Big Brother Sun is not feeling well recently, so he is not going to arrange this album. It’s a trip. But I heard that he’s coming to Pingjing, so you can see that he’s still here.”

Zhang Qing looked at Sun Shizhong, who was laughing and full of beards, and bowed: "Teacher Sun, I'm ashamed."

Sun Shizhong stepped forward to stop him, and said with a laugh: "You are calling me teacher, you are scolding me. In our industry, qualifications are the most important thing, and the qualifications are the least important, especially songwriters and producers, the best come first!" The two of us are friends of the same generation. Qingzi, don't be partial, and Lao Wen will call you big brother, and call me to see you."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Okay, I'll call you Big Brother. Originally, they were all godfathers in the Chinese music scene."

Sun Shizhong laughed, and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

Wen Mingcheng also introduced Gu Quan, Wang Ming, Zhu Jie, Li Yali, and Ouyang Qiong, five Wanwan kings and queen-level singers.

After the introduction from the guests, Zhang Qing introduced the people around him and said, "This is my girlfriend, Qi Juan."

The guests were also interesting and actually applauded.

Wen Mingcheng, Sun Shizhong and others all praised: "Beautiful! Eyes are brilliant! Golden boy and jade girl! Talented man and beautiful woman!"

Zhang Qing led people forward again, and continued to introduce Qi Ping, Xu Zhen and others. When Yue Linger was introduced, Zhang Qing said with a smile: "In the current Dujuan Records, Sister Huadiehua has changed careers, and Yanyan is not counted. The real singer, this one, is our real trump card."

Qiao Zetao, who hadn't interrupted the conversation, laughed and said, "Is it true? Is there anyone else who can sell better than Zhou Yanyan's records? I don't believe it."

Li Feng's new album was almost smashed by "I Am a Girl". It was on the Golden Melody Song Chart, East Building, and Guanhai Bookstore sales rankings. It could have been in the top three. After "I Am a Girl" became a big trend , I can't even find a shadow.

Naturally, she felt extremely upset, and raised her chin and said, "That's right, Zhou Yanyan is indeed not a real singer. If she didn't have that good looks, the album wouldn't be so popular."

Zhang Qing chuckled, but Wen Mingcheng disagreed. He probably knew that there were conflicts between the two record companies, but he didn't care, so he said more seriously: "Qing Zi is self-effacing, we can't say that. "I am "Girls" album, the title song feels gaudy and unexpected when I first listen to it. But after listening to each song, you can understand Qing Zai's good intentions."

Sun Shizhong nodded and echoed: "From the shallowest, younger, student, and younger, step by step, it is very clear and deep. The most typical is the same song that praises family love. "Only Mom Is Good in the World" is easy to understand. The voices and chords are simple and clear, but the texture of the later "Lu Binghua" becomes complicated. The last song "Slow Voice" and "Farewell" sublimate the album to the point where it is beyond classic. Even if Ms. Zhou Yanyan is not so beautiful, this album is still a rare masterpiece in the Chinese music scene."

Li Feng was a little embarrassed to come down to the stage, but before he could say anything else, Qiao Zetao waved his fan and laughed, "No one will doubt Qingzi's talent. Qingzi, let me introduce you. This is Matthew Mike, President of Warner Music Asia Pacific. Mr. Adams, you can call him Matthew, he speaks Chinese very well."

"Hi, Qingzi, nice to meet you, very very, hope to cooperate with you."

The middle-aged white man said with a slightly pious tone.

In Chinese American mythology, American workers are very dignified. They live with their heads held high, can reject all unreasonable unspoken rules, and complete their work with fair and just contracts...

However, you will know it after you really understand it, so fuck his grandmother.

In a capitalist society, the so-called dignity, rationality, and contract are all bullshit, and only money is the only thing.

Let’s talk about the spirit of the contract. Capitalists have countless ways to avoid a paper contract, as long as the benefits are sufficient.

For example, Wall Street was once stunned by Hollywood and lost everything...

If Matthew could get Zhang Qing's song, he would be willing to flatter him ten times more.

After Zhang Qing shook hands politely, a group of people entered.

After being seated, Zhang Qing looked at Wen Mingcheng and joked, "It is said that the opposite side is a free society, but our side is the opposite. But big brothers can come to our side for a concert, and our singers have to report to the police station first." , I don’t even need to think about holding a concert.”

According to the historical process, this provision will not be lifted until ten years later.

Qi Ping was surprised: "Zhang Qing? What are you talking about?"

Wen Mingcheng laughed and said: "It's okay, it's okay. When Qingzai was on Hong Kong Island, he scolded him face to face, and his words were very sharp. We made fun of him as the successor of communism, and he was happy."

Sun Shizhong also laughed loudly and said: "People don't frivolously waste young people. Qingzi has the boldness and confidence of a poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Mingcheng said that Qingzai firmly believes that the mainland will restore the glory of the strong man in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Qingzi, let me tell you You, one day, we will be as happy as you!"

Click till.

Xu Zhen and them also knew each other. Sun Shizhong said: "I met Mr. Xu when I held a concert in Shanghai in [-]. Several albums produced by Mr. Xu sold well in Wanwan, and the golden songs are popular. I didn't expect It's right to work in Du Juan now, but if it were me, I would also work under Qing Zai's sect. There are so many golden songs, so extravagant, who doesn't like it?"

Xu Zhen laughed and said a few words of courtesy, but didn't say much.

Wu Cheng feels that he has the right to speak: "Everyone in the circle thinks it's too extravagant just like the big brother. Whether it's "Women's Flower" or "I'm a Girl", just any song can support a piece of music. A new album of excellent quality. It's too extravagant, and it's a pity. No one has done this before..."

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Isn't there now?"

Wu Cheng chuckled, unable to refute.

Wen Mingcheng said: "I just heard that something happened on Hong Kong Island before I came here. Is Miss Yanyan okay?"

Zhang Qing shook his head and smiled, "It's all settled, nothing to worry about."

Sun Shizhong was curious: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "It's nothing. Yanyan was filming in Hong Kong Island. Yu Shixun's youngest son was drunk and led someone to the set to meet him, but Yanyan chopped him down with a sword. But he already knew he was wrong, he Father and elder brother also compensated on his behalf."

Gu Quan suddenly burst out laughing, gave Zhang Qing a thumbs up and said, "I really like Qing Zai's awesome style, hahaha! Cool!"

The general idea is that he likes Zhang Qing's pretentiousness too much.

Zhang Qing laughed with everyone and said, "What I said is true."

Gu Quan said with a smile: "I know it's true. My friends on Hong Kong Island have called me and told me. They said it was a young man in the mainland who beat up Superman's second son for...for friendship."

Qi Juan had fun with everyone.

The queen Li Yali was more emotional, and said: "The Hong Kong media has revealed the life experience of Ms. Yanyan. In fact, I was moved when I listened to that album, but when I heard her life experience, I listened to those songs. It’s not good. I dare not listen to it, I can’t hold back crying. Qingzi, how can you have the heart to let her sing such a song? I think...it’s actually a bit cruel.”

Qi Juan said with a smile: "He refused at first, and even called the United States to talk to me about this matter. I persuaded him to continue doing it. Because "Only Mom Is Good in the World", "Insects Fly", " Yanyan asked him to write "Orchid Grass" and "Lu Binghua", and Yanyan said that this is a gift she gave to her mother, so that everyone in the world will know her mother's existence and will not be forgotten by the world."

Everyone was stunned, Wen Mingcheng said: "After I go back, I will tell the newspapers. In fact, Ms. Yanyan should be interviewed and said these things in person. Qingzi has given you a lot of infamy."

Zhang Qing laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. Apart from these four songs praising family love, there are other songs. These four songs are not the main songs, and they didn't rely on this as a selling point."

Shen Xin said: "The company has never hyped Yanyan's life experience, but the reporters in Hong Kong Island are really pervasive. They can go to Xijiang. The teenager's home is not only in Xijiang, but also in the western border of Xijiang. It’s only a few dozen miles away from the national border. It’s abhorrent that they can run to pretend to be friends of teenagers and conduct interviews.”

Wang Ming said with a smile: "There will be more and more in the future. It's too popular. The six capitals of Wanwan, the six largest cities, are full of colorful posters. Even the grandma in the country will hum a few words 'I am girl'."

Everyone laughed, Wen Mingcheng said jealously: "My songs are not so popular."

Sun Shih-chung smiled and said with emotion: "The truly phenomenal albums, "Slow Voice" and "Farewell" were used as teaching materials by professors from National Taiwan University, and they also criticized our island musicians for being too deeply influenced by Western music. Such classic lyrics, It actually came from a freshman in mainland China, which means that we have all lived in vain.”

After listening for a while, Matthew McAdams said, "We at Warner very much hope to cooperate with you, Qingzi, and we are very sincere."

He wanted to buy Du Juan without opening his mouth, which seemed too arrogant and rude.

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "If there is an opportunity, we do not reject cooperation. In fact, Brother Mingcheng has already helped me a lot."

Wen Mingcheng waved his hands again and again and said, "What's the matter, I just said a few words, and it's easy to do."

Wu Cheng suddenly smiled and said, "This time the big brothers are here to hold a concert in Pingjing, and I hope you can help, Qingzi."

Zhang Qing ignored him, but asked Wen Mingcheng, "Brother Mingcheng, what's the matter?"

Wen Mingcheng shook his head and said, "I only found out what happened this afternoon, but I don't know exactly what happened."

Qiao Zetao said: "Although Zhang Tianmao has gone in, the group of people he raised have not been idle. Under the banner of Lao Zhang, they are biting people everywhere like mad dogs. The relationship behind them is very strong. We just applied for the gymnasium here. The other side actually knew about it and sent someone over to collect the money."

Qi Ping frowned when he heard the words, looked at Qiao Zetao and said, "With the relationship with Mai in Pingjing, this matter can't be resolved?"

Qiao Zetao smiled wryly: "My family is a family of schoolteachers."

Wu Cheng shook his head and said, "Lao Zhang is so young, he has taken another step forward, our talking is completely useless."

Zhang Qing said solemnly: "I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding here. After Brother Zhang went in, none of those people showed their heads. His wife and daughter went to beg for help, but none of them responded, and finally found me in desperation. Because of this incident , Brother Zhang has already decided to wash his hands and not associate with those people. So this matter should have nothing to do with Zhang Tianmao. In this way, I will take my sister-in-law and his daughter to visit the detention center tomorrow, and then ask him what's going on."

He's not the kind of person who has been wronged, this is a game between Warner and Mai, let him help when encountering difficulties?The calculations of Qiao Zetao and Wu Cheng were too loud.
