Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 17 Love Letter (Please collect and read)

When he returned home in the afternoon, Cao Jian told his brother Cao Wei the good news that he had reached a cooperation with Xinshidai, and they went to a restaurant together for a big meal.

"Cooperation? How much money can you make?"

This kid Cao Wei just found a job as a security guard.

All he thinks about every day now is his cousin's promise to let him be his own boss.

Being a boss requires money, so I am very concerned about this aspect.

Cao Jian stretched out a finger and shook it: "At least this number."

"Ten thousand?"

"You underestimate your brother. Are you really planning to open a restaurant? Guess again."

"One hundred thousand? No way?"

The number of one hundred thousand was enough to scare Cao Wei.

In the past two years, if anyone in the village was worth ten thousand yuan, it would spread to all the surrounding villages, let alone one with a hundred thousand yuan.

"Haha, add another zero"

"One million?"

"rise!"

"Wow! You're rich! You're really rich!"

Cao Wei almost jumped up. One million? That was such a huge amount of money. He had never seen it before.

And it’s only the “starting point”, so if he earns a lot, it wouldn’t be two million, right?

With this money, my cousin will make himself the second boss.

Cao Jian said: "Don't be too happy too soon, what happened to the things I told you to do?"

"I know a lot of security guards who were soldiers. I'll do as you said and build good relationships with them."

Although Cao Wei didn't know his cousin's plan, he still did as he was asked.

I have to work hard and not bring shame to my brother.

There are still four days left until the opening of the Asian Games.

After dinner, Cao Jian wanted to buy himself a bicycle, but he remembered that this thing needed to be stamped, otherwise he would be fined, so he had to give up.

Anyway, taking a taxi is not expensive for him now, so he might as well take a taxi to the company first.

He was ready to work hard to make his first fortune and planned to win the sweet girl Yang Yuying as soon as possible.

……

In an art troupe in the northwest, Yan Ni just received a letter from Cao Jian.

Normally a letter would arrive in about a week, but this letter first arrived at the Chang'an Finance Institute and then was transferred here.

"That guy surnamed Chen probably didn't peek."

Yan was very happy when he received Cao Jian's letter. He checked the letter carefully and found that the envelope had not been opened, so he felt relieved.

Although I became an arts soldier, the young man who sang beautifully and touched my hand has been lingering in my mind for more than a month.

She was also worried that there might be some secrets in the letter that no one else could know, and it would be embarrassing if her good friends saw it.

With excitement, she opened the letter and read it word by word.

"He actually found a job, singing after all."

In the letter, Cao Jian said that he was doing well in Guangzhou and singing in a dance hall, which made Yan feel a little regretful.

He could have gone to college, had a better future, and had a stable job.

Why do you want to sing?
I can’t figure it out, what a pity.

However, Yan was very satisfied that Cao Jian cared about him.

He really didn't forget himself.

But when she saw the last paragraph, "The moon in the south is beautiful, but I still miss the moon in the north, because under the moonlight here, there is one less you," she closed the letter abruptly in embarrassment.

Such straightforward words almost made Yan Nei's girlish heart jump out of her mouth.

How could he write such words?
Too much?
Is this a love letter?
How should I reply to him?

"irritating!"

Yan Ni covered her face with the letter in her hand, her mind seemingly drifting to the moonlight in Guangzhou.
…………

Three days later, Cao Jian arrived at New Era Audio and Video early in the morning, intending to use these few days to finish the arrangement of the album's title song.

As soon as I got off the bus, I saw a young man parking his bicycle.

The young man saw Cao Jian getting out of the taxi and greeted him, "Hello, you are the Cao Jian who didn't sign the contract with the company the day before yesterday, right? My name is Mao Ning, and I just signed the contract the day before yesterday." Cao Jian nodded politely, "Hello, Mao Ning."

If you ask who was the most popular mainland male pop singer in the early 1990s, it would definitely be Mao Ning.

The song "The Waves Still Sound" has been popular for many years. Even Uncle Benshan's sketch "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" contains this joke, which shows the influence of this song.

He also formed a golden boy and jade girl with Yang Yuying.

It’s a pity that this guy didn’t seize the opportunity and let Yang Yuying be snatched away by someone else.

Such a good opportunity, but I really didn’t use it!

With the decline of new-age audio-visual, Mao Ning also gradually faded from the Chinese music scene.

Later, he was stabbed several times and was completely forgotten in the entertainment circle.

Now that Cao Jian saw the real person, he found that Mao Nian was not very handsome, but only above average in appearance.

Although he later made a mistake that many down-and-out artists like to make, he is generally a good person.

However, I hadn't seen him a few days ago, and the company signed him urgently. Is there any purpose?

As for the purpose, Cao Jian is still unclear.

Mao Ning and Cao Jian entered the building side by side, their faces filled with envy: "You're amazing. You actually dared to make such a request to the company. It's great to have talent."

Cao Jian was stunned for a moment: "You know all this?"

Mao Neng said this with a flattering look on his face, "It's not just me who knows about this, it's spread all over the company."

"is it?"

Cao Jian laughed and said, "I just wrote it randomly. If a singer wants long-term vitality, it is best to create his own works, otherwise his fate will be controlled by others."

Mao twisted his face into a look of being taught a lesson, and blurted out three words: "That makes sense!"

Then he admired her and said, "I didn't expect you to say such words. It's amazing."

In fact, he really wanted Cao Jian to write a song for him, but since it was their first meeting, he was embarrassed to say it.

When they reached the second floor and were about to part ways, Mao Neng couldn't help but say, "Brother, since we're from the same company, I'll treat you to a meal when I have time."

"no problem."

Cao Jian had long noticed that Mao Neng seemed to be hesitant to speak. Having been a teacher for more than ten years, he guessed what Mao Neng was thinking at a glance.

This guy has a pretty good voice, so it's no problem to write songs for him.

But helping you write songs won't cost me a meal.

Need more money!
…………

These days, a seminar has to be held before releasing an album.

This is often the characteristic of this type of company.

New Era signed two new artists in the past few days. They want to use a few songs by Cao Jian to quickly build up the company's reputation.

This will attract more potential singers.

This is also the reason why Li Qiang agreed to Cao Jian yesterday.

As soon as Cao Jian arrived at the company, he was called to a meeting to discuss the album.

When we arrived at the conference room, there were already several people sitting in the room.

In addition to the boss Li Qiang and the two people who interviewed me yesterday, there were also many musicians.

"Xiao Cao, come and sit down."

Li Qiang saw Cao Jian. Although he didn't like him, he still warmly invited him to sit down for the sake of money. Then he said, "Now that everyone is here, the content of our meeting today is to discuss Comrade Cao Jian and Xiao Yang's first album."

“The difference is too obvious.”

Cao Jian couldn't help but complain in his heart, I am a comrade, and Yang Yuying is Xiao Yang?
The people present had already seen several songs and heard that a young man had written the songs and had signed a contract with the company. Based on this, they were very curious about Cao Jian.

What kind of young man is so arrogant?
Now that I saw Cao Jian’s true face for the first time, my first reaction was, isn’t this guy too young?

Is it true, as the company rumors say, that this kid is a one-in-a-million genius?
Are there really geniuses in the world?

In the conference room, Li Qiang continued, "I think everyone has read the songs written by Comrade Cao Jian. If you have any thoughts, please share them and we can discuss them together."

The first person said, "Comrade Cao Jian's three songs are all good. I think they can be put on two albums. It would be a waste to put them on one, and the styles of the three songs are also different."

The second one said: "I think so too. The styles of "Walk Away with Style" and "Love" are very different. It is best to release them separately, one this year and one early next year. This way, the popularity can be maintained."

……

Cao Jian just listened, but what these people meant was that they wanted to make two albums so that they could make more money.

"If that's the case, it's all over."

Cao Jian vaguely remembered that it was in the first half of the year. If "Love" was released next year, wouldn't it clash with the Little Tigers?
