Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 280 Give Me a Role

This time, Huang Ze went to inspect a record company that was not very popular with Huang Ze.

Nothing.

It's because the Hong Kong record market is too small, and records don't have the same strong dissemination properties as television stations, nor are they as dear to our hearts as movies.

The main trump card of the entire company is actually Mariah Carey, and they have also gained some fame in foreign countries, selling more than three million EPs worldwide. They are a group called Destiny's Girl that has a certain degree of popularity, but not a very high one.

"It's actually high enough." In the office, Shen Xing corrected Huang Ze's wrong statement, "Mr. Huang, not everyone is as perverted as you and Mariah Carey. Record sales are calculated in tens of millions."

"This number is definitely high enough. Even for an American singer, it can be considered a success if his first EP can achieve this level of global sales."

After correcting Huang Ze's wrong statement, Chen Xing paused and realized that he shouldn't have said that.

A smile appeared on his face, and he nodded in agreement, "It's really not that high!"

"But with Mr. Huang here, this won't be a problem. Just give him two songs and he'll definitely be able to go one step further!"

"Then we'll be the world's number one girl group!"

"I really like your flattery!" Huang Ze laughed and took out a notebook from his bag.

"I wrote two more English songs. Let's put them on the new album that Destiny's Child is preparing."

"I wrote five songs on this album. Isn't that great? It's even better than Mariah Carey's benefits!"

Apart from Huang Ze's own album, they are the first to enjoy this preferential treatment.

Of course, the main reason is that his own woman is in it, otherwise Huang Ze would not be so generous.

There is a reward for every effort.

It makes sense!

"Can I see the song now?" Chen Xing is a musician, although he has not achieved much in composing music.

But the appreciation is there.

He could also feel that Huang Ze's songs were all masterpieces.

Therefore, he is very interested in Huang Ze's new song!
This is my curiosity as a musician.

"Look."

"Thank you." Chen Xing picked up the lyrics and music score, looked at it for a while and couldn't help humming.

"When I'm in Berlin you'er off to London..."

"So happy!"

“This dance song is quite catchy.”

"It's enough to hurt Lang Lang." Huang Ze raised his chin, "Turn the page."

"Hmm? "Sun Never Sets", Chinese lyrics?"

"Yes."

"Since the melody and arrangement are the same, I thought I could kill two birds with one stone, so I came up with the Mandarin version of the lyrics. In addition, I also wrote the Chinese lyrics for the three songs that were released earlier. If I want to develop the Mandarin market, I can do that together."

"Boss Huang, you are truly a genius!" Chen Xing said, "This time I'm not flattering you, it comes from the bottom of my heart."

"Hey, stop talking." Huang Ze only did a little bit of work.

If we talk about the greatest contribution, we have to thank SHE and Taiwanese people like Cai Yiling, otherwise Huang Ze would not have known these four songs.

This is all thanks to their Chinese translation!
"Mr. Huang, you are good in every way except that you are too modest." Chen Xing quickly flipped through the pages and started watching the next song.

“I’m a big big girl.”

“In a big big world…”

After humming softly, Chen Xing was silent for two or three seconds.

“This song ‘big big world’ is quite soothing.”

"But I feel like this song might be a little more popular,"

“Suitable for both young and old.”

"The previous song should be more popular with young people." "By the way, Mr. Huang, is there a Mandarin version of this song?" Chen Xingxi asked curiously.

"No."

Whether there is any specific information or not, Huang Ze had never heard of it in his previous life.

But this certainly doesn't mean that Huang Ze has no talent.

The boss can't be wrong.

The only ones who are wrong are the employees!
Huang Ze threw the pot away.

“I can’t put all my energy into writing songs for the company.”

“If you want to make a Mandarin version, you can also find an excellent lyricist to write the lyrics for it.”

"understood."

Next, after sitting here for a while and getting a general understanding of the company's development, Huang Ze left.

Apart from a female singer and a girl group that were able to break into the U.S. market, the profits brought by other people from the record company were very meager, and Huang Ze was too lazy to find out more.

For Huang Ze, the most important thing about them may be the channel for creating stars.

An ordinary person first becomes famous in Hong Kong Island through singing, and then goes to ATV to participate in some programs, or takes part in the filming of TV dramas. If he can make it in TV dramas and his acting skills are okay, he will be sent to Xinghai Film and Television.

One-stop industrial services, one-stop...

The existence of this channel will enable Huang Ze’s ability to create stars to surpass TVB.

After all, the TV drama industry is not much worse than TVB.

But the film industry has really crushed TVB, which had already closed down and now has been reborn to start a new company.

Now, none of the films released by Xinghai have low box office, and each one is very popular. This means that playing a supporting role in the film can bring popularity and leave an impression on the audience that cannot be compared with other films.

If this continues, all the fresh blood will be absorbed by itself, and TVB will sooner or later return to the position of ATV.

"Ha ha……"

Thinking of this, Huang Ze couldn't help but laugh.

"I have to say that it is worthy of being the first free TV station in Hong Kong Island. The audience's viewing habit is really strong. Even though I have come up with many unique ideas, the total ratings of ATV are still lower than those of TVB!"

“We have to keep working hard!”

After secretly cheering himself up, Huang Ze did not go home or go to other companies, but came to the house he bought near the record company.

There was no phone call, but at noon, there was a knock on the door.

After opening the door, Zhou Huimin walked in carrying a bag of food.

"I knew you would be here for lunch after you came to the record company, so I bought a lot of ingredients. I learned a lot of new dishes! They are delicious."

"Okay, then I have to taste the delicious food you made."

“It’s really delicious!”

Afterwards, Huang Ze couldn't help but sigh.

This is a different feeling!
At the same time, he felt that he had neglected her for some reason, so he said, "I miss you a lot, but I will have to go to the United States again in a short while, and I will have to shoot a long drama in the United States in half a year."

"I'll give you a role. It's not the female lead, but it's not a small part, and you'll have a lot of screen time. Then we can be together during filming."

It also saves you from loneliness.

Of course, the female lead role definitely cannot be given to Zhou Huimin.

The heroine of this movie has to have a certain toughness, and a white actress must be chosen, otherwise how can it get box office revenue in the United States!

This is not a martial arts film, it's a modern action film.

The role is also relatively easy to find, just arrange a role near the front of the bus.

Well, the character who comes to travel and holds a city map is pretty good.
