Chapter 116 Fatty Zhou

Euphemistically rejected the suggestion of "receiving the wind and washing the dust" at night.

He and Li Xue had a good night's rest to recharge their batteries, and Qi Wei devoted himself to work the next day.

In the late 80s, after PolyGram acquired several local record companies in Wanwan, such as Qi Fei, Impala, and Jinsheng, it established a branch in Wanwan and officially landed in the Wanwan music scene.

PolyGram's business in Wanwan is developing rapidly. Although its influence is slightly less than that of Hong Kong City, it is only compared with Hong Kong City.

Having a list of singers such as Tong Ange and Qi Qin is also star-studded, and their strength should not be underestimated.

At that time, almost all the Mandarin records of Hong Kong Polygram singers were produced by Wanwan Polygram.

Early albums such as Yonglin Tan's "Friends", Zhang Xueyou's "Kiss Goodbye", Grasshopper's "Half Dim Sum" and other album lyrics, composition and music production were mostly presided over by important musicians who have cooperated with Wanwan PolyGram for many years.

There is a familiar process for distribution and publicity.

This also provides a perfect guarantee for Qi Weixin's publicity in Wanwan.

He held signing events in various parts of the Bay, accepted media magazine interviews, participated in various variety shows, etc., and all activities were properly arranged.

The five-day promotion has achieved over 30 record sales.

In the second week, nearly 40 records will be sold.

Compared with the first week, the record sales have dropped a bit, but under the gradually saturated environment of the market and the fierce impact of piracy, it is already very successful that there is no cliff-like decline.

Qi Wei personally came to Wanwan to promote, which obviously played a role in promoting the sales of the new album.

The album sales of nearly 90 in two weeks have already broken a series of sales records for mainland singers in Wanwan.

It is only a matter of time before one million sales are achieved, and no surprises this achievement will be completed in the third week.

However, Qi Wei, as a mainland singer, has achieved gratifying achievements in Wanwan, which will make some narrow-minded Wanwan people feel like shitting on their heads.

Not all attitudes are friendly.

Some of Wanwan's variety shows are very large-scale, and they often ask some tricky and intimate questions, which will catch the artists participating in the show by surprise.

Qi Wei also encountered this situation.

Especially those in the media, they will do everything they can to make big news, and they will often set traps for you to jump into it.

Inexperienced people are easy to get tricked and can't get off the table.

But Qi Wei is not a newcomer who just debuted, nor is he the "desperately illiterate" of later generations.

The answer was watertight, and it was easy to deal with.

The breakup incident between Zhou Huimin and his predecessor many years ago is also continuing to ferment, and some media have already "spotted" and blamed Qi Wei for the source of the problem.

After all, it was a problem between them during the cooperation with Qi Wei.

Wanwan media often make use of the topic in interviews.

Could it be that Qi Wei knew in his heart that he was indeed fueling the flames by himself.

But this cannot be publicly admitted anyway.

So facing this question, Qi Wei said directly:

"Is it also my problem that your father broke up with your mother?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the reason for this incident, and if this happened to me, I would definitely admit my mistake instead of blaming the woman for the problem, especially if she played the role of victim in it.”

A wave of outrageous responses, secretly blaming her ex, helped her relieve a little pressure.

But this breakup turmoil has not affected Zhou Huimin anymore, she has returned to Canada to live the life she wants.

Frequent international phone calls, Qi Wei learned that she lived a relatively comfortable life.

"You like painting, in fact, you can hold a painting exhibition, I know this is a dream in your heart.

All problems caused by money are not a problem. I will help you pay for the art exhibition, and you can fulfill your dream with peace of mind.

My worth is far more than you imagined, what is the purpose of my money, not for you to spend.

If you are worried about losing money, then put your heart into organizing the art exhibition well and try to minimize the loss.
You miss me, I miss you too, I miss you all the time, miss your sad and melodious singing
Of course, I want to hear it now, hehe"

Every time he called, Qi Wei tried his best to show her that he was a warm man, and always ended the call with a joke after asking about his health.

Every time it takes a little too long, and I get very angry after talking with her.

In the past, I always asked my beautiful assistant to help me get rid of the fire, but today.
Hey, you can change the taste and try the taste of Wanwan pearl milk tea.

"You look good today."

"You are also flushed."

"In your body, the sleeves are so short, the pants don't fit well, and the shoes are so small, they must be squeezed in."

"You know, I haven't participated in this kind of occasion before, and I borrowed all my dresses."

Zhou Jielun chatted awkwardly with his partner Fang Wenshan in the corner, watching handsome men and beautiful women pass by him one by one very cautiously.

The five days of publicity work is over, Qi Wei's mission in Wanwan has been completed, and he will leave for the mainland tomorrow.

Zheng Donghan flew from Hong Kong City to Wanwan himself, and held a celebration party in the high-end hotel where Qi Wei stayed in Wanwan.

Many celebrities in the Wanwan entertainment circle were invited.

They also gave Zheng Donghan a lot of face, and basically all the people who were invited attended the party.

Most of them are people in the music circle, but there are also many actors and young models.

As for their role.
I understand everything I understand.

Zhou Jielun was specially invited by Qi Wei.

"We will have opportunities to cooperate in the future, let's cheers."

Qi Wei participated in the variety show "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" hosted by him before, and even sang "Thousands of Miles Away" with him on the show.

It's a little bit of an acquaintance.

So when seeing him at the party, Qi Wei chatted with him a few more words.

Fatty Zhou of later generations chose to sing "Thousands of Miles Away" with this "Dirty Demon King" for a reason. His singing voice is indeed unique.

Especially the song "One Cut Plum".

It has been lingering in Qi Wei's mind.

Speaking of Fatty Zhou, Qi Wei had already noticed him at the party.

He politely and quickly ended the other's approach, and walked to the corner where he was.

"You are Zhou Jielun. I'm Qi Wei. It's my first time meeting you. It's a pleasure to meet you." Qi Wei smiled and stretched out his hand to him.

At this moment, Jay Chou hasn't gained weight from drinking milk tea, he is still thin despite his short height.

After seeing Qi Wei, he became more cautious, and immediately reached out to shake hands with Qi Wei and said:

"I'm Jay Chou, and I'm the same. Nice to meet you."

I was a little nervous to speak.

"You don't need to be so nervous, you should have been here for a while, are you used to it now?"

"I'm still not used to it." Jay Chou replied honestly.

"It doesn't matter if you're not used to it now. You will have opportunities to attend such parties in the future, and you will get used to it gradually."

"I hope it's like what you said."

After a few more polite greetings, after the two of them got a little closer and Zhou Jielun was no longer nervous, Qi Wei began to talk about the topic.

"I invited you to my party. For what purpose, I think you should have guessed it. Let me get straight to the point. I want to invite you to join my record company."

Although he had been prepared for a long time, when Qi Wei said this, Zhou Jielun became nervous again.

For a while, I didn't know how to reply Qi Wei.

It is indeed a very happy thing to be so favored and appreciated by a popular singer like Qi Wei.

If Qi Wei's record company was in Wanwan, he would agree without hesitation.

However, Qi Wei's base camp is in the mainland, and a combination of various reasons made him dare not take risks.

It also looks very hesitant now.

What Qi Wei has to do now is to dispel his worries and take this opportunity to persuade him as much as possible.

Qi Wei took two glasses of wine from the passing waiter's plate, handed one of them to him, and began to talk eloquently:

"I remember you participated in a variety show called "Super Rookie King". I got to know you from this show.

Although your performance on this show is relatively immature, I found that you are different, you are a person with great musical talent.

You have your uniqueness, and I believe that you are also a person with musical dreams, and you also want to achieve your own musical dreams.

In my opinion, the position of your current company is a kind of embarrassment to you. If you want, I can help you realize your music dream and help you make records. "

"Make a record?" Zhou Jielun was stunned for a moment, and asked almost without thinking: "Can I make a record?"

Jay Chou participated in "Super Rookie King" and was chosen by Wu Zongxian to join his Alpha Records company as a composer.

Although he is very talented, it is not all smooth sailing for him as a composer.

Because the style of music is novel, not everyone has the vision to accept it. Even Fang Wenshan, a partner in the company, thinks the music he wrote is "average" when he sees it.

He joined Wu Zongxian's company and wrote many songs, and also voted for some singers, but they were all rejected without exception.

In this regard, he was very miserable and confused, but he did not have the idea of ​​giving up.

He even had the idea of ​​making a record by himself as a singer.

But it's more of a joke to others.

how to say.

From Qi Wei's point of view, Jay Chou's voice is actually very average, far below the level of God's appreciating food.

But his timbre is not bad, his singing is recognizable, and his personal characteristics are very obvious.

These are very important for a singer.

His voice is suitable for a singer.

But the key lies in his singing skills.

At this time, the singer pays attention to the exact words when singing, so that the listener can understand what he is singing.

But if Jay Chou sings, if you can hear clearly, you win.

In addition to being unclear, his singing skills are still relatively immature at this time, and he has not yet reached the level of being able to produce records.

This is why even if he wants to make an album now, no one else will help him make an album.

Especially his current boss, Wu Zongxian, is more concerned about his face. In fact, he doesn't think much of Jay Chou, and doesn't like the dickish temperament revealed in him.

But these are not problems for Qi Wei.

Not being able to sing clearly is a big taboo of being a singer at this time, but Qi Wei knows in his heart that audiences of young age can accept it, and this will also become a feature of his singing in the future.

It doesn't matter if you don't have good singing skills, at least you are much better than Gao Yuanyuan at this stage.

With millions of tuners, Qi Wei can help Gao Yuanyuan record songs. Isn't it easy to record songs for Zhou Jielun and make records?

At worst, record it several times.

If the standard of live singing is not met, try to reduce the number of live singing.

There is always a way.

Even if the market does not accept the unsatisfactory sales after the record is released, Qi Wei can give him another chance to try and make mistakes.

If you can't do it once, you can come twice, and if you can't do it twice, you can come three times. Qi Wei is still very patient with this nuclear money printing machine.

"If you can make a record, I can help you make a record."

After Qi Wei gave him a prepared answer, he continued: "After you join my record company, I will only give you advice and will not interfere with your creation. You can make the music you want. You should know Zhou Chuanxi, right? After joining my company, I also gave him a lot of freedom.”

Speaking of this, Jay Chou has already been tempted, who doesn't want to be able to make their favorite music in a relatively free environment.

Qi Wei continued his efforts and said: "I know you are a very filial person. Last time I sent someone to contact you, you rejected me for this reason, but I believe you should understand that true filial piety is not a useless guard. As parents, they are like eagles, they all hope that their children can spread their wings and soar high in the sky.

Being famous all over the world, honoring ancestors and bringing glory to them is true filial piety.

I hope you can have a good discussion with them when you go back, instead of making stupid decisions presumptuously.

I'm being blunt, and I'm sorry if I offended you. "

"It's okay, I know you're doing it for my own good."

Zhou Jielun forced a smile towards Qi Wei, although he still hesitated, but Qi Wei had further disintegrated the line of defense in his heart.

"Thank you for thinking highly of me, but to be honest, I'm not worth it."

After refusing to invite him in person, Zhou Jielun was very moved when he said these Chen Ken words to himself, but he still had one last worry in his heart.

Anyone can say high-sounding words, but he is very afraid that Qi Wei will not keep his promise after fooling himself.

"You underestimate your value, I am also a music creator, I believe in my own vision, I hope you can believe in my vision.

I also climbed from obscurity to where I am today. I know that this journey is not easy, and I can understand the confusion and struggle you are encountering now. I hope to help you and everyone who has music dreams.

Of course, if you can bring benefits to yourself when you help others realize their dreams, that would be great. I see this hope from you. "

Qi Wei suddenly thought of something, and continued with a smile: "As far as I know, you seem to like sports cars very much. If you are willing to join my company, I don't mind giving you a sports car."

As his fans in later generations, Qi Wei knows very well that Jay Chou likes sports cars very much.

In later generations, when Zhou Jielun released his first album, Wu Zongxian promised to give him a sports car if the album sold more than 30 copies in order to encourage him.

As a result, Jay Chou's first album "jay" was a big success, selling 50 copies in Wanwan alone.

However, Wu Zongxian did not give him a car, but "borrowed" Jay Chou his sports car for a month.

Of course, the millions of sports cars, not to mention the money earned from the financial crisis, I can easily earn a dozen or so for myself with just one record.

So why be stingy?
Only by being willing to give up children can you catch wolves. Compared with the huge value he can bring to himself in the future, these are insignificant.

Willing to give yourself a sports car?
It's like hitting his nails, Jay Chou is really heartbroken now.

He basically said yes.

After convincing him, Qi Wei chatted with Fang Wenshan who was beside him, and also extended an invitation to him.

Of course, Qi Wei didn't pay much attention to him compared to Zhou Jielun, and the chips offered were not high.

Of course, compared to his current salary, it is still much higher.

Just like the golden pair of Zhou Xingxing and Wu Mengda, Zhou Xingxing is the irreplaceable one.

The same is true for Jay Chou.

Golden supporting roles are interchangeable. (I don't mean to belittle Wu)
If he is willing to join, it would be the best if he could bring their golden pair together.

It's not worth spending too much.

After finishing the conversation with Zhou Jielun and the others, he finally achieved his goal, and Qi Wei was in a good mood.

The idea of ​​celebrating again.

Want to taste the pearl milk tea of ​​Wanwan.

While observing Yingying and Yanyan at the banquet, Qi Wei discovered a few acquaintances.

"Senior Sister Jiang, I didn't expect you to come too." Qi Wei greeted her warmly.
