1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 187 Entering the entertainment industry, the men behind the female artists!

"I will definitely try my best to run the company well."

Lin Qingxia leaned in Xu Yuexin's arms with a blush on her face and promised him.

Xu Yuexin nodded, helped Lin Qingxia to straighten her clothes as much as possible, and sent her home after she had caught her breath for a while.

After sitting for a while at Lin Qingxia's house, Xu Yuexin drove back to Taiping Mountain. It was already evening.

"Why did you come back?"

When he entered the door, Chen Yixiu looked at the time and asked with a little confusion.

"I chatted with Lin Qingxia for a while."

Xu Yuexin threw his coat on the cabinet and said calmly.

What can you talk about for so long?

Chen Yixiu felt something was a little strange, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

She walked up, picked up Xu Yuexin's suit jacket, straightened it out and put it on the hanger.

"Don't throw it around next time. It won't look good if it's wrinkled."

"It's okay to wrinkle it, a real man doesn't mind trivial matters."

"No."

Chen Yixue shook her head decisively and said, "You have to be alert and sharp in front of others."

"Not energetic enough?"

After saying this, Xu Yuexin hugged his sister-in-law and wanted to kiss her.

"Go away."

The sister-in-law broke away from his arms and immediately distanced herself from him, saying, "Think about serious matters when you have time."

"What's the matter?"

"As you said, the news about me will be published in the newspapers in the next two days."

"Oh, you're talking about this."

Xu Yuexin leaned against the cabinet and said calmly, "All the money that should be spent has been spent. What else is there to worry about?"

"Oh……"

The sister-in-law nodded hesitantly, still a little worried.

She felt that once the story was reported in the newspaper, it might cause different opinions, which would be detrimental to her personal image and song sales.

Xu Yuexin saw that his sister-in-law was still worried, so he smiled silently and walked over to pat her shoulders.

"Don't worry."

"I invested a full million dollars in it, and no newspaper dared to say anything bad about you."

"Even if some ignorant critic wanted to criticize you, no newspaper would publish his article."

This was Hong Kong in 1981. The purchasing power of one million was roughly equivalent to million in later generations.

With this money, it is enough to ensure that there are no mistakes in the reporting.

……

A few days later, the entertainment sections of major newspapers in Hong Kong began to report on Chen Yixiu's works and life.

Her name and the song "The Sea" dominated the headlines of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

"The Sea" was released once in Hong Kong before, but due to limited publicity and promotion, it was only a minor success.

This time the publicity is truly a big one.

As soon as the report was published, just as Xu Yuexin had expected, the phone calls contacting the publisher of "The Sea" immediately flooded with calls.

In the past, Xu Yuexin had to go to each family in person to negotiate.

Things are different now. Xu Yuexin has established an entertainment company with himself and Lin Qingxia as shareholders. He only needs to let Lin Qingxia and her staff do the work.

The full name of the company is Global Star Entertainment Co., Ltd., abbreviated as Global Star.

The company’s registered capital is HK$2000 million, and its business scope includes film and television production, music publishing and distribution, beauty pageants, and celebrity agency.

According to Xu Yuexin's idea, he will be the actual controller of the company behind the scenes in the future, and Lin Qingxia will be the person in charge of operating the company in front of the stage.

In the early stages of the company's development, it was mainly based in Hong Kong and recruited local actresses.

In fact, Lin Qingxia had proposed an idea to Xu Yuexin, believing that the company could recruit not only female artists, but also male artists.

However, this idea was ruthlessly rejected by Xu Yuexin.

Isn't it for happiness that he invests in the entertainment industry?

Based in industry, the dark hands extend to the entertainment industry.

Well, that's good and makes sense.

I just don’t know how Lin Qingxia would feel when she finds out about my purpose.

Inside the luxurious villa in Mid-Levels, Xu Yuexin grinned inwardly.

According to the plan, he should return to the capital now.

But I still have to wait for the results of Lin Qingxia's song sales, so I have been waiting in Hong Kong.

"Jingle Bell……"

One day, the phone rang in Xu Yuexin's mansion. When he picked up the phone, it was Lin Qingxia.

"Mr. Xu, your and Yixue's songs have been selling very well these days. I have already negotiated with the three companies."

"The total amount was 1100 million, of which TVB offered 280 million to use as the ending theme song, and..."

……

Lin Qingxia told Xu Yuexin the current sales of "The Sea" over the phone, and her tone was full of excitement.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's split the profit 40% to 60% according to the company's rules."

After Lin Qingxia finished speaking, Xu Yuexin said.

He set the rule of 70% profit sharing, that is, 40% of the copyrights of songs, movies and TV series sold belong to the company.
70% goes to the creator.

"No need, you are the boss of the company?"

Hearing Xu Yuexin's instructions, Lin Qingxia was puzzled.

"It is precisely because I am the boss that I need to take the lead in following the rules."

Xu Yuexin insisted, "By the way, how is the company's staffing going? Have other businesses been developed?"

"The staff is fully staffed and the scouts have all been found."

“I plan to sign at least three promising female artists by next year.”

"Okay, I hope everything goes well."

Xu Yuexin smiled slightly on the phone.

Female artist or something.

He likes it the most!
Not long after the call with Lin Qingxia ended, Chen Yixiu came over.

"Were you talking about selling songs just now?"

"Yes, I chatted with Lin Qingxia for a while, and the total sales amounted to 1100 million yuan." Xu Yuexin leaned back on the sofa and smiled with great style, "Also, please be careful with your choice of words."

"I'm the owner of an entertainment company now. I can no longer call it selling songs. I should call it music distribution."

Chen Yixiu was amused by him.

"Okay, music distribution."

She smiled and sat down next to Xu Yuexin and asked, "Which companies did you sell the songs to this time?"

"I sold three companies: TVB, Universal Music, and PolyGram Records."

“They are all big companies.”

Chen Yixue was excited after hearing this and said, "We have reached a new level."

"Of course, people always go to higher places."

Xu Yuexin nodded somewhat deeply.

After finishing the final matters concerning song sales, Xu Yuexin booked a plane ticket and took his sister-in-law to the airport the next day to take a flight back to Beijing.

The autumn atmosphere in the capital is becoming more and more intense.

Even though the two of them had put on their clothes in advance, they still shivered when they got off the plane.

"It's so cold."

When we left the airport lobby, my sister-in-law shivered in the autumn wind and said, "It's almost below zero."

Seeing this, Xu Yuexin took out a scarf.

"Here, put it on."

He handed the scarf to his sister-in-law.

My sister-in-law took it and put it around her neck, and then she finally felt warm.

"Did you not expect to stay in Hong Kong for so long?"

When going to the taxi dispatch point, Xu Yuexin asked his sister-in-law.

When asked this question by Xu Yuexin, the sister-in-law felt as if her soul was touched.

She had only planned to stay in Hong Kong for a short while before coming back, but she didn't expect to stay with Xu Yuexin for such a long time without realizing it.

Maybe... she has become accustomed to being with Xu Yuexin?
The sister-in-law asked herself the question and answered it in her heart, without responding to Xu Yuexin.

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Xu Yuexin divided up the gifts he had bought in Hong Kong and prepared to give them away.

The Montblanc fountain pen and gold bracelet were given to my parents respectively.

I bought my wife a pair of Hermès snow boots and a bracelet and ring that I bought at Cartier that day.

There are also Gucci high heels, perfume, and pearl necklace bought for Zhu Chen, and a complete set of La Mer for Gong Xue.

Xu Yuexin distributed all the gifts, went to Xicheng District to visit his parents first, then returned to Keyuan Community and knocked on Zhu Lin's door with the gifts.

"Tuk-tuk."

"Is anyone home?"

"Tuk tuk..."

I knocked on the door several times, but no one answered. It seemed that no one was at Zhu Lin's house.

Xu Yuexin then walked down the stairs carrying the gift, thinking that next time he should call before visiting.

Not long after he left, footsteps were heard on the stairs again.

Zhu Chen, wearing a white coat and carrying a bag full of medical books, returned to his door and entered the house.

She is in her second year of graduate school this year and has many more courses than her first year.

Under the heavy pressure of courses, Zhu Chen basically gave up his interest in literature. Every day, he just attended classes and memorized books.

After returning home, Zhu Chen simply ordered a bowl of noodles, ate, and went back to his bedroom to rest.

When walking into the bedroom, Zhu Chen looked at the desk in front of him, and a hint of melancholy appeared in his beautiful eyes.

The small ornaments on the desk were bought for her by Xu Yuexin when he went to Hong Kong last time. They look very exquisite.

Every time he sees this ornament, Zhu Chen would think of Xu Yuexin's handsome face and be obsessed with it.

However, the two have not seen each other for a long time.

Maybe he has forgotten himself?
Zhu Chen thought in his heart.

After not seeing each other for such a long time, Zhu Chen now just wants to see Xu Yuexin again.

As for the rest, she no longer cared that much.

"Jingle Bell……"

Just then, the phone in Zhu Chen's house rang.

She walked out of the bedroom and answered the phone, and then a very familiar voice came from the receiver.

"Hello, is this Sister Chen Chen? I'm Yue Xin."

Zhu Chen's pupils trembled for a moment, and he quickly replied: "Well... I just got home."

Xu Yuexin actually took the initiative to call him.

Zhu Chen's heart was beating fast and his mood suddenly improved.

"I just came back from Hong Kong and came to your house to see you. No one was home."

"When is the next time convenient for you?"

"Right now. Are you free?"

Zhu Chen said without thinking, and his face turned red after he finished speaking.

Isn't this... a bit too proactive?

"Okay, I'll leave soon."

Xu Yuexin agreed.

This ends the call.

He is coming...

Zhu Chen felt an irrepressible excitement in his heart, and his eyes unconsciously became moist.

The two hadn't seen each other for half a year...

I don’t know what Xu Yuexin’s attitude towards her is now.

Will the relationship gradually become dull as time goes by, and will I just treat her as an ordinary friend?
Ugh……

If this is true, I don’t know whether it should be considered a good thing or a bad thing.

Zhu Chen let out a long sigh. For the first time, he felt a little confused about himself.

After a while, there was a knock on Zhu Lin's door.

"Xiao Xu, right?"

Zhu Chen stopped thinking and walked forward excitedly to open the door.
