Chapter 149 Mei Yanfang is willing to stand out
"Your gentle laughter brings me warmth, and you inject a strong electricity of happiness into me. I whisper that the long road is almost over, and finally we have reached the bright sunny day..."

In the recording studio of Huaxing, Zhai Yuan sang "The Love of Those Days" a cappella in front of Zhang Guorong, Chen Shufang and Huang Zhan.

When Chen Shufang was halfway through listening, she noticed Zhang Guorong's surprised expression.

Huang Zhan also put away his usual playful smile and began to listen carefully with his chin pinched.

The gold medal manager walked out of the recording studio without saying a word.

Even if I have to use a beauty trap today, I will keep you here!

The song is over.

The studio was silent for a few seconds.

Zhang Guorong suddenly shouted "good" and clapped excitedly: "Sharp, Brother Yuan, sharp!"

Unfortunately, Rong Shao’s current Mandarin level is average, otherwise he would definitely replace “sharp” with “awesome”.

"I never thought that this little salty kid also had a lyrical side."

Huang Zhan's hoarse voice of ridicule also rang out.

Zhai Yuan smiled and said, "How do you think, Uncle Zhan? Give me some comments."

Huang Zhan thought for a moment and said, "This song is better than Garfield in terms of both melody and lyrics... It's the new song that Lai Siu-tin played for me today. I really like the lyrics. I didn't just wipe your shoes because you're rich and know Shen Nana. You're so talented at such a young age. You're amazing, handsome boy."

Zhai Yuan thought to himself that it was all because of your good teaching.

Because the lyrics of the song "Love in Those Days" were later written by Huang Zhan, showing off in front of the main character now feels a bit like a minotaur.

Just very excited.

Huang Zhan asked: "Is this song really your original creation? You didn't spend a lot of money to hire a few musicians to make a sample to pretend to be something, right?"

Almost everyone will ask this question after knowing that they can compose music. After all, the songs they compose are at the Golden Melody Award level. Hong Kong can only produce a few original songs in a year, which is really against the will of heaven.

Zhai Yuan was used to it, and said calmly, "Of course it's original."

"Sharp." James Wong said with emotion: "Leslie said that you wrote this song specially for the theme song of a new movie, a romantic art film?"

Zhai Yuan shook his head: "No, it's a fashion gunfight movie, about chivalry."

Huang Zhan exclaimed, looking a little surprised: "But the lyrics of this song are clearly very ambiguous, like the line 'When I look at you, my eyes are filled with warmth', which is clearly between a man and a woman. Could it be two men?"

Zhai Yuan subconsciously looked at Zhang Guorong.

Zhang Guorong raised an eyebrow at him in surprise: "Meah, you're not going to write it to me, are you? I'm not interested in men."

Ha ha.

Zhai Yuan sneered.

As for why this song has a romantic style, this plagiarist cannot explain it at all.

Some ci critics in later generations believed that Huang Zhan's poem "The Love of Those Days" was based on his previous poem "Family Love". Both of them are typical expressions of warmth and kindness. The writing style is not profound in artistic conception but easy to understand.

Unfortunately, Zhai Yuan can only copy and cannot do reading comprehension.

“Just write it down when you think of it.”

After explaining casually, Zhai Yuan changed the subject: "You must know the director of my new film, Uncle Zhan. His name is Wu Yusen."

"Pick! It turns out that Asen switched to your company."

Huang Zhan's focus was indeed diverted.

He and Wu Yusen met when they were filming "Ghosts and Twins". They knew each other from humble beginnings, so it was more than ten years later that he wrote the lyrics for "A Better Tomorrow".

"I remembered."

Huang Zhan stared at Zhai Yuan for a moment, pointed at him and said, "The young boss of Jiuyi Entertainment named Zhai Yuan, who used the song "My Chinese Heart" I wrote a while ago and became famous in Taiwan, turned out to be you."

It was the first time that Zhai Yuan knew that the lyrics of the song were actually written by him. He smiled and said a few words of disrespect.

"But I don't like the lyrics of that song. They are too simple and superficial."

James Wong was also merciless in his evaluation of his own work, and then said: "Next time you want to play a patriotic song, I recommend you use another one, which is "Brave Chinese" which I wrote for Wang Minquan."

"Aren't you afraid of being banned?" "No! Uncle stopped working in the film industry more than ten years ago, and now he doesn't even have a contract with a company. I'm not afraid of him!"

"Then you sign 91, and I'll introduce Shen Nana to you."

Zhai Yuan originally made a casual joke, but he didn't expect Huang Zhan to actually fall into deep thought after hearing what he said.

"Let me think about it."

Huang Zhan said seriously, "Besides my wife, I also have a girlfriend, a few mistresses outside, and Shen Nana, I haven't figured out where to put her yet."

Zhai Yuan stood in awe and said admiringly: "I will learn from you."

…………

The three men were chatting animatedly in the recording studio.

Chen Shufang was in the next meeting room, preparing to implement her own beauty trap.

However, she knows her own limitations and did not go so far as to engage in an older-younger-man relationship herself. Instead, she targeted artists under Huaxing.

Mei Yanfang, the champion of the New Talent Singing Competition, signed last year.

"Amei, how does Sister Fang treat you?"

"what?"

Mei Yanfang's heart tightened. Could it be that her secret plan to join Shen Dianxia was discovered?
After all, he was a shrewd man who had grown up in Temple Street. Although he was panicking, his expression did not change at all.

Mei Yanfang smiled and said in her unique and magnetic voice: "Sister Fang is of course good to me. Why do you suddenly ask such a question?"

Chen Shufang said, "Sister Fang needs your help now. Will you help?"

Mei Yanfang's smile did not diminish, and she showed some underworld habits: "Sister Fang, if you ask, you don't have to say a word, I will take care of everything!"

"Great! You are worthy of being my choice as an artist. Next year I will apply to the company to hold a concert for you at the Lee Theatre!"

Chen Shufang first made a promise, then changed the subject and asked, "Have you ever been in love?"

Mei Yanfang was stunned, caught off guard by this jump in thought.

"not yet."

"Then you can talk now!"

Chen Shufang finally told the purpose of asking her to come over and told the whole story about Zhai Yuan from beginning to end.

Although it was not very straightforward, how could Mei Yanfang, who was so smart, not understand the meaning?

She asked suspiciously, "You want me to seduce that boy?"

"Don't talk about seduction in such a harsh way. You are eighteen and twenty years old, a perfect match!"

Chen Shufang continued, "Besides, Zhai Yuan is not only a very good composer, but he's also a young and wealthy boss. If you two were to have an affair... I mean, if you could form a happy marriage, you'd be a wealthy wife in the future, and it wouldn't be a problem for him to support you on an overseas tour!"

Mei Yanfang laughed dryly: "Sister Fang, I suddenly became deaf and can't hear what you said. Let's go to the hospital for a check-up first."

After saying that, he planned to run away.

Chen Shufang's face darkened and she slapped the table. Ah Mei, who had just raised her butt halfway, sat back down silently, with an embarrassed expression of "I can't handle it" on her face.

"The song 'Secretly Obsessed' that you wanted to sing before was written by him, and the song 'Monica' that has been widely circulated within the company recently was also written by her."

Chen Shufang explained it to the company with a hint of meaning, "Some time ago, your mother brought your two brothers to the company to make trouble and ask for money, which had a huge impact. I paid the reporters not to write nonsense, otherwise the boss would be very unhappy if he heard about it, and it would affect your future. Sister Fang has no other skills, but as long as you are willing to help me secure this position, as long as I am in the company, no matter how your family members make trouble, I can guarantee that they will not affect your career, and will support you as the eldest sister of Huaxing. Please consider it."

In the conference room, Mei Yanfang lowered her head and fell silent.

Chen Shufang played the emotional card too hard. Her mother and two brothers were indeed Mei Yanfang's biggest weaknesses. Just mentioning them made her feel shortness of breath and sweat on her back.

After a moment, when she looked up again, there was no more embarrassment on her face. All her heavy thoughts were hidden away, leaving only ease and calmness.

"Come on, Sister Fang, I grew up in Temple Street, what kind of men have I not seen? An eighteen-year-old young man, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to deal with him?"

Twenty-year-old Mei Yanfang acted like a socialite, lifted her shoulder-length curly hair, pulled down her collar, bit her lip like a beauty and said, "Where is he now? Look, I'll release a little bit of my charm, I guarantee he will be completely fascinated~"

PS: The update is a bit late because I took a nap. I still owe one more update, so I will make up for it in the early morning.
