One person's entertainment

Chapter 6: A New Village

This song is really attractive. Shen Lingyou replied without blushing or beating his heart: "Shen Lingyou."

The middle-aged man silently repeated the name several times, but had no impression of it. He then asked, "Is Shen Lingyou... a singer from the mainland? A singer from Hong Kong? Or a singer from Formosa?"

Shen Lingyou felt amused and replied, "Uh... I'm not a singer yet. I haven't debuted yet."

The middle-aged man was stunned. When he reacted, he immediately asked, "Did you write this song?"

Faced with this question again, Shen Lingyou answered patiently: "I wrote it."

Surprise flashed across the middle-aged man's eyes, and then he asked, "Can I sit here?"

Shen Lingyou nodded and said, "Please do as you wish."

After the middle-aged man sat down, he extended his hand and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Chen Jiantian."

Now it was Shen Lingyou's turn to be surprised. He had heard of this name before. He shook hands and immediately asked, "Are you the boss of the Red Star Production Society?"

Chen Jiantian smiled and said, "You know me?"

In 1996, many domestic music companies made great efforts.

Chen Rentai founded Peacock Records. With his unique sensitivity, he is always able to find some unknown songs in some corners, and then package them into popular songs.

Song Ke founded Maitian Music, which is dedicated to discovering excellent original pop music works and talents in mainland China, and has signed singers such as Ye Bei and Pu Shu.

Red Star Production Company launched Tian Zhen's eponymous album and achieved huge success, setting the highest sales record for domestic genuine records this year, and the mainland pop music scene ushered in the "Tian Zhen Year".

Chen Jiantian is the founder of the Red Star Production Cooperative.

He is from Hong Kong. He has been obsessed with music since he was a child and is keen on the songs of the Beatles. He fantasized about finding a music-related job when he grew up. In the 80s, he became a well-known music manager in Hong Kong. He discovered the famous Beyond and signed the Yanjing girl Wang Jingfei.

When Hong Kong music was on the rise, he saw the plight of the mainland record industry and made a decisive statement, "I want to be the best brand of original pop music in mainland China." So he crossed the river with full of passion and set off for the mainland.

Not long after, a company dedicated to discovering original music was established in the mainland. It was named Red Star Production Company, which means the rising red star of China. It signed contracts with the Black Panther Band, Zheng Jun, Tian Zhen, Xiao Ke, Xu Wei, the Paradise Band... and became a very influential record company in the mainland Chinese music scene.

Chen Jiantian looks to be in his 40s or 50s, has a beard and an ordinary appearance. Who would have thought that he is a famous and legendary manager in the history of Hong Kong Music.

While Shen Lingyou was looking at Chen Jiantian, Chen Jiantian was also looking at him and evaluating his appearance, voice, singing skills and creative ability.

He has very good appearance, sunny and handsome.

The voice is very distinctive and can be remembered at first sight.

The singing skills do not have too many fancy techniques, but focus on emotions.

As for the creative ability, "Heart Too Soft" is a good song, simple but not mediocre.

In short, listening to him sing this song is like listening to a story of vicissitudes and loneliness. The lingering sadness in my heart rises suddenly, which is very catchy and touching. It has to be said that he is a gem waiting to be carved. If he can be signed to a company, he can be well trained to fill the vacancy of pop male singers. In the future of Chinese music, pop music will definitely have a place, and it can even become a dominant position. Pop singers will also be the ones that major record and music companies must fight for.

As he thought about it, Chen Jiantian became more and more interested in Shen Lingyou, so he said with full sincerity: "You know me, so you must be familiar with Red Star Production Society. I won't brag about myself. What I want to say is that I want to be the best brand of original pop music in mainland China. This belief remains consistent. Are you interested in joining us? This song will definitely be a hit, and you will definitely be famous!"

There is no excessive flowery talk and it sounds very sincere.

At that time, Wang Jingfei was just a newcomer who had just stepped half a foot into the music industry. No one was optimistic about her except him. He went up to her and said, "Believe me, in the future, no one like Lin Yilian or Sally Yeh will be as popular as you. You are the most popular!"

As far as his eye for judging people is concerned, he's not the most accurate in the entertainment industry, but it's no problem for him to be ranked in the top ten.

Shen Lingyou was not against joining the company, but he had seen too much of the fickleness of human relationships and the indifference of the world in the entertainment industry. Of course, there were people who valued friendship and morality, but they were too few and most people only put profit above all else.

The penalty for breach of contract should be set high, the share should be low, the value should be squeezed. I will say a lot of good things at the beginning and praise you to the sky, but once you don’t get along later, you will face suppression, blacklisting, lawsuits, etc. In a word, running a company is not running a charity, and all rights of interpretation belong to me.

However, since he is a time traveler and has cheats, he must want to have the best of both worlds, freedom and money.

However, Shen Lingyou would not be stupid enough to negotiate terms with others. He is now a nobody and needs to be low-key. If he shows off, he will suffer. So he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. I have just entered university and should focus on my studies. I am studying acting and will probably become an actor in the future. So I don't want to sign with a company too early. If you think my song can be released as a single, then we can cooperate and it doesn't matter if I take a smaller share."

He didn't intend to make a lot of money at once with "Heart Too Soft". The most important thing right now is to increase his popularity and lay a solid foundation for future development. Anyway, he has the copyright of this song in his hands, so there are plenty of opportunities to make money.

Chen Jiantian looked at the 19-year-old boy in front of him. He seemed to have a maturity beyond his age and a unique appeal. He was not in a hurry, but asked curiously: "You said you studied acting, so which university did you go to?"

Shen Lingyou replied: "The Central Academy of Drama."

Chen Jiantian's eyes changed slightly. The Central Academy of Drama is quite famous.

And the performance I learned, but now I have to release singles, it's becoming more and more interesting.

However, at present, Shen Lingyou has no intention of signing with the company, and he is quite opinionated and has made a plan for the path he wants to take. What's more, what Shen Lingyou said makes sense. At this age, he should focus on his studies. He did not force him to do anything, but instead asked, "Well, I wonder if your song has been released?"

Shen Lingyou's little heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that this is what opportunity refers to?
He suppressed his inner joy, controlled his facial expression, and sighed, "Well, to be honest, I've been looking for publishers and music companies to discuss releasing singles." He patted his bag and continued, "The songs are all recorded, but no one is willing to work with me."

Chen Jiantian said in his heart, "Ouch!" Finally, he got something out of it. He immediately said, "Well, why don't we cooperate?"

Shen Lingyou pretended to be surprised and happy, and asked, "Really?"

Chen Jiantian smiled slightly and said, "Of course."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lingyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was truly a silver lining. If the cooperation could not be reached, he would not know how to move forward.

Simultaneously.

"Ding Dong, mission completed, reward: 2 points of [Acting Skills], and a -year director experience card (one day)!"
