Chapter 226 Giving People Confidence and Being Used as a Chip

When Qi Wei took advantage of the peak period of the Spring Festival to earn money from commercial performances, Jay Chou's first solo album "jay" was also released in Wanwan.

Polygram is responsible for the release of Qi Wei's records in Wanwan.

As a singer under Qi Wei Records, Jay Chou's first album, Qi Wei, was also handed over to PolyGram to help release it in Wanwan.

PolyGram set up a stage in a shopping mall with a lot of traffic, and Jay Chou's debut press conference will be held soon.

Lin Xilei in professional attire looked at Jay Chou with a serious expression, and asked with a smile, "You look nervous?"

Although Qi Wei is very busy during the Spring Festival, Qi Wei is still very humane to his employees, giving Lin Xilei a vacation and letting her go back to Wanwan to reunite with her family.

She also handed over the release of Jay Chou's first album in Wanwan to her.

"Yeah." Zhou Jielun nodded nervously. He didn't dare to look up at Lin Xilei, not only because Lin Xilei was sexy, beautiful and capable, but also because he knew that Lin Xilei was Qi Wei's personal assistant.

There is naturally an inexplicable ambiguous relationship between the beautiful assistant and the boss.

In fact, Jay Chou was really nervous, and he was also a little unconfident, because when he just came back from the toilet, he overheard a few words about himself from the director of PolyGram's distribution in Wanwan.

"What the hell is this singing, this kind of rubbish record is a waste of our Polygram's publicity and distribution resources."

"There's no way who can say that his boss is Qi Wei. Qi Wei has made so much money for PolyGram. He doesn't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha. Since President Zheng ordered it, we will follow the rules."

"."

The person in charge of PolyGram's distribution in Wanwan has released so many records, and the rich experience is rarely mistaken. Even they have no confidence in their records, and Jay Chou, who is already nervous, naturally has no confidence.

"You don't need to be so nervous. You have to have confidence in yourself. Look at how many people have come to the scene. There are hundreds of people. These are all for your album." Lin Xilei encouraged.

In fact, it was just because the shopping mall where the press conference was held had a lot of traffic, and there was a sudden event during the Spring Festival, and everyone came to join in the fun.

Lin Xilei's encouragement made Zhou Jielun feel a little better, he looked at Lin Xilei with grateful eyes, and said "thank you".

Then he summoned up his courage and asked, "Sister Lin, you have heard my album, what do you think of my album?"

"It's pretty good, to be honest, I really appreciate it."

Lin Xilei smiled at Zhou Jielun, and continued: "I am a layman in music, I only think your music is good, I don't understand the good or bad, but you have to understand that he has a very good evaluation of your music. Gao, he appreciates your music and has confidence in your music, so you should also have confidence in your music."

Hearing this, Zhou Jielun couldn't help thinking of Qi Wei.

Qi Wei's album is a big hit, and there is no doubt about his sense of the market and professionalism.

He has confidence in himself, so he has no reason not to be confident.

From spending a lot of money poaching himself to helping him release records, he values ​​himself so much, as the saying goes, a scholar dies for his confidant, so he should find a way to repay him.

No matter for himself or for him, the first album cannot be messed up.

Jay Chou's gaze became resolute, and he became less nervous after some mental exercise.

While Jay Chou was working on his first album before the press conference of his new album, Jay Chou's former boss Wu Zongxian suddenly appeared on the scene.

At the beginning when Qi Weiken spent 80 yuan to poach the corner, Wu Zongxian just thought he had encountered a big water hose, and sold Zhou Jielun without much hesitation.

After all, it didn't cost any money to sign Zhou Jielun to the company, so he was very proud of it.

In Wu Zongxian's opinion, Qi Wei spends a lot of money to sign Zhou Jielun to his company, and will use Zhou Jielun as a music assistant just like himself, and provide songs for himself.

Although Qi Wei is a singer-songwriter, but creation needs inspiration, and inspiration will run out.

And in the circle, it is not uncommon for big singers to steal songs written by newcomers as their own.

Newcomers have no human rights. Wu Zongxian thinks that Qi Wei is likely to do this by judging others by himself.

But what Wu Zongxian didn't expect was that Qi Wei would actually help Zhou Jielun release records.

Can Jay Chou release records?
Just like a bird, with an average voice and poor singing skills, can such a person release records?

He didn't know what Qi Wei was thinking, anyway, he thought it was impossible.

He came this time to watch a joke.

"Brother Ang, you're here." Upon seeing Wu Zongxian, Zhou Jielun got up to greet him.

Although Wu Zongxian treated Zhou Jielun poorly in Wu Zongxian's company before, but after all he was brought into the circle, Zhou Jielun is still very grateful to him.

So be polite.

"After all, you used to be my right-hand man, so I'll naturally join you if you post." Wu Zongxian squinted his eyes and said with a smile, looking kind.

"Thank you, Brother Ang." Zhou Jielun thanked him sincerely.

Still waiting for Wu Zongxian to reply, a music assistant brought by Wu Zongxian said: "Boss, is it so low to be a singer to release a professional album now? Any cat or dog can release an album."

This made Zhou Jielun look embarrassed, Wu Zongxian did not reprimand, but just smiled and said: "No way, the record market is really hot now, everyone wants to squeeze in to make money, and his boss Qi Wei is also a caring person .”

Then he asked Jay Chou again: "Is your boss very caring?"

Even the most stupid person could hear the irony in his words, Zhou Jielun was even more embarrassed at the moment, he didn't know how to answer the stupid man, but Lin Xilei who was on the side couldn't stand it, and helped him out and said:
"My boss is indeed a caring person, and he also likes to give love. Last year alone, he donated millions of dollars. I know that Boss Wu is also a caring person. I wonder how much you donated last year?"

Hearing this, Wu Zong couldn't help but look at Lin Xilei.

Wu Zong first knew that Lin Xilei was Qi Wei's assistant, and also knew that Zhou Jielun's first album was released in Wanwan by her. She was entrusted with such a heavy responsibility at such a young age, and she was so beautiful. of.

He couldn't help but contempt for Lin Xilei.

He sneered and said, "I'm here this time to show my love."

Then he said to Jay Chou: "I'm here to cheer you on. Today your new album is released, and I'll buy [-] copies directly, so you should be able to explain something to Qi Wei."

Such insinuation made Zhou Jielun really uncomfortable, but Lin Xilei replied: "Then thank you, Boss Wu, for spending the money."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." He laughed out loud.

After Wu Zongxian left, Lin Xilei looked at Zhou Jielun who was gritted his teeth and was full of unwillingness, and asked, "Are you very angry?"

"I" Jay Chou stuttered.

Still waiting for Zhou Jielun to finish speaking, Lin Xilei continued: "It's right to be angry. He looks down on you because of his vision. If you want to refute her, slap him in the face and try to prove yourself. It's still the same sentence." , You have to believe in yourself and his vision."

Zhou Jielun thought of Qi Wei again, and he couldn't help clenching his fists.

At this time, the time was almost up, Lin Xilei patted Zhou Jielun on the back, and said with a smile: "Come on stage, boy, it's time to prove you."

Zhou Jielun nodded emphatically, and with a determined gaze, he stepped onto the stage confidently.

Another music legend kicked off at this moment.

After staying in Shenyang for one night, Qi Wei flew back to the capital by plane the next day.

Because of the Spring Festival Gala and the commercial performances during the Spring Festival, Qi Wei wasted a lot of time.

Now that "Daming Palace Ci" has resumed work after a brief suspension for the Spring Festival, director Li Shaohong called to insinuate and urge him. It stands to reason that when Qi Wei returns to the capital, he should rush to the "Daming Palace Ci" crew to continue filming.

But Qi Wei still stayed in the capital for an extra day because he was going to attend a movie celebration party.

"See you or leave" celebration party.

The movie "Be There or Be Square" was released on December 12 last year, and it has earned more than 24 million box office in two months.

You must know that the production cost of this movie is only 600 million, and the cost of publicity and distribution will not exceed 800 million.

In today's domestic film market environment where losses are low and profits are made, this film can not only make money from the box office share, but also make a lot of money, which is worthy of celebration.

The crew of "See You or Were Square" proudly booked a luxury hotel in Beijing for a celebration party. As one of the film's investors, Qi Wei was naturally invited to the celebration party.

At around six o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Wei came to the celebration party.

"Party A and Party B" and "See You or Be There" are two consecutive films that are small and big, and the director of these two films, Feng Xiaogang, has become the most profitable director in the mainland.

Such a director will naturally be favored and wooed by film investors and producers. As soon as Qi Wei came to the celebration, he saw Feng Xiaogang surrounded by a group of people complimenting him.

There are film production fees and investors, as well as actors.

And he also seems to enjoy being complimented by a group of people.

That being the case, Qi Wei didn't bother him, and after greeting Han Sanping and others, he saw some acquaintances, including Jiang Wen and Ge You, so Qi Wei went over to chat with them.

"Brother Jiang, since we hired a young director to direct "Looking for a Gun" to give others a chance, we should give others a chance to fully exercise instead of treating others as puppets."

Didn't you say that you are looking for a puppet?
Jiang Wen thought so in his heart, but couldn't say it out loud, so he could only reply indifferently: "I didn't intend to let others be a puppet."

"That's the best." Qi Wei smiled, and continued: "Since the director chosen is not a puppet, the director should have the corresponding rights, and the filming team should be formed by himself."

"I'm not worried that he won't be able to form a good team when he is young. The people I recommend you are all experienced and capable people."

Before Jiang Wen approached Qi Wei to invest in "Looking for the Gun", Qi Wei agreed, Qi Wei asked Cheng Er to be the director of this film, Jiang Wen also agreed, and now we are talking about forming a filming team.

After all, Jiang Wen has already made two films, and he has his own shooting team, so he wants his own shooting team to shoot "Looking for the Gun".

Qi Wei was naturally unwilling to agree to Jiang Wen's request.

Cheng Er is now a new director, and Jiang Wen is a big star. If the filming team is all Jiang Wen's people, there is a high probability that Cheng Er will be trained to cry like Lu Tailang in later generations.

And the cost of the movie is not easy to control.

So Qi Wei is against it.

Of course, Jiang Wen's words are not unreasonable. If Cheng Yi finds a new team, he might not be able to make "Looking for the Gun" well.

Qi Wei thought for a while and said, "I know you are also doing it for the good of the movie. I will let him be cautious about the person you recommend, but it is up to him to decide whether to choose. He is the director and he has the right."

"Okay, you are the investor, you have the final say." Qi Wei has already made a concession in his words, and if there is no accident, the filming team will have his own people, and Jiang Wen finally agreed.

After chatting with Jiang Wen, Qi Wei smiled again and said to Ge You: "Uncle Ge, how do you think about the cameo?"

"Don't call Uncle Ge, Uncle Ge, you make me look old." Ge You said pretending to be unhappy.

"That's because you look old, that's why he called you that." Jiang Wen interjected jokingly.

"You, sometimes it's really annoying." Ge You smiled and cursed at Jiang Wen, touched his bald head, and then said to Qi Wei: "There is no problem with guest appearances, but you also know that I will be very happy this year." I'm so busy, it's hard to give you enough time."

Both "Party A and Party B" and "See You or Were Square" both starred Ge You. The popularity of these two movies also made him very popular, and many people invited him to make movies today.

"I've asked the director of my play, and you only need one day's schedule is enough."

"Then I'll be fine." Ge You laughed.

But Jiang Wen interrupted again at this time: "Why don't you ask me if I have enough time?"

"Don't you have a lot of spare time this year?" Qi Wei asked with a smile.

As an actor in the past few years, Jiang Wen has not achieved as much success as Ge You, and naturally no crew has asked him to make a film.

He is very free this year.

"You don't slap people in the face when you hit someone, and you don't expose your shortcomings when you swear. Sometimes you are not cute." Jiang Wen cursed with a smile, and then laughed.

Then everyone laughed too.

While everyone was talking and laughing, Feng Xiaogang came over.

"Brother Qi, why didn't you say hello to me when you came, so I can say hello to you."

Qi Wei is the investor of "See You or Be Square", and a well-known big water pipe in the circle, Feng Xiaogang is very polite.

"I see you are quite busy, so I don't want to trouble you. Congratulations on your box office success." Qi Wei replied with a smile.

"It should be said to be congratulations on our box office success." Feng Xiaogang corrected with a smile.

Qi Wei glanced at Ge You, then at Feng Xiaogang, laughed too, and replied, "It seems to be the case."

Qi Wei and Feng Xiaogang chatted politely for a few words before bringing the conversation to the point.

"Do you still remember the promise we said, "See You or Were Square" has a box office of over 4000 million, so it's time for you to fulfill your promise."

"Hahaha." Feng Xiaogang laughed twice, did not answer directly, but said: "I have a friend, he is only the investor of this movie, he has wanted to know you for a long time, and he happened to be at the scene. "

After finishing speaking, Feng Xiaogang went not far away and pulled a person over.

Then Feng Xiaogang introduced like Qi Wei: "This is Mr. Wang from Huayi Brothers."

Before Feng Xiaogang introduced Qi Wei, the king took the initiative to extend his hand to Qi Wei.

"You are Qi Wei, I am glad to meet you."

But Qi Wei was a little unhappy.

In fact, Qi Wei recognized him when Feng Xiaogang brought him over. ,

Seeing him, Qi Wei couldn't help frowning.

Then he looked at Feng Xiaogang who was full of laughter.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that I would become someone else's bargaining chip."
