Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 18 He's so pretentious
After listening to several professionals, Li Qiang was actually very inclined to release two albums.

But the song was written by Cao Jian after all, so even if it's just a formality, opinions should still be sought.

He glanced at Cao Jian and asked, "Comrade Cao Jian, tell me what you think."

Cao Jian said: "Everyone is right. Among the three songs I wrote, the style of "Love" is indeed a little different, but it is not the main song, so there is no problem in putting it on the album. Putting these two songs in is also a double insurance for the album to sell well."

Li Qiang disagreed with Cao Jian's opinion.

You can only make money from one album once, so if both albums sell well, you can make more money.

He smiled and said, "Comrade Cao Jian, putting these two songs on two albums will also be good for you. If both sell well, you will get a bigger share."

Li Qiang had just finished speaking when Cao Jian said calmly, "Mr. Li, if that's the case, then I can only find another record company to collaborate with for the song 'Love'. I don't want to wait!"

"."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

This young man actually spoke to the boss like this?

This is a naked threat.

Some people began to whisper to each other, some gloated over his misfortune, and some kind-hearted people were worried about Cao Jian.

Sure enough, Li Qiang, who didn't like Cao Jian to begin with, looked a little ugly.

He looked at Cao Jian and found that the young man did not seem to be joking.

Why did he insist on putting two songs of good quality on one album?

Does he have any ideas?
Or is it really for double insurance?
But this guy really doesn't treat his boss as a leader
In the conference room, many people looked at Li Qiang, wanting to see if the boss would get angry or just slam the table.

Unfortunately, after waiting for a while, this did not happen.

Li Qiang was really worried that Cao Jian would cooperate with other record companies, which would result in financial losses.

Let’s just have double insurance.

After a moment's silence, Li Qiang nodded under the gaze of the crowd. "Comrade Cao Jian's opinion makes sense. This is the first album produced by our company, so we really need a double insurance policy."

"Mr. Li is right."

"Mr. Li is still insightful."

"I think so."

……

The boss agreed, and everyone else nodded in agreement, giving all the credit to Li Qiang and ignoring Cao Jian.

Who told you to talk to your boss like that?

"hehe."

Cao Jian watched coldly and shook his head secretly.

From Li Qiang's eyes, he could tell that he agreed very reluctantly.

No wonder Xinshidai said this in the 1990s. There was a reason why they had the support of singers like Mao Ning, Yang Yuying and Lin Yilun, but eventually disappeared from the music scene.

The company's style is really not flexible at all and they don't value talent.

It really proves the saying that a small temple has strong evil spirits, and a shallow pond has many turtles.

If you want better development, you can't stay in this place for long. Once you get the money, you should plan for the future as soon as possible.
The meeting lasted for an hour, and it was finally decided that the first album "Walk Away with Style" would be released on New Year's Day.

Once the album release date is decided, the next issues to consider are production cycle, packaging style, and release date.

After more than an hour, Cao Jian felt sleepy.

However, for the sake of money, he persevered to the end.

Later, regarding Yang Yuying's album, at the suggestion of composer Cao Jian, she first released "Tell You Quietly" and at the same time produced her second album "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind".

After all, it will take at least two years for Meng Tingwei's song to come out, which is enough time.

In the next few days, he worked together with the company's composer Han Chengguang and recording engineer Chen Luo to record a demo of the title song.

At the same time, Yang Yuying also started recording her first album, but the release date of this album was one month later than "Walk Away with Style".

On September 22, the 11th Asian Games opened amidst great anticipation.

Although the two-day weekend system was only implemented in 1995, it was a major event celebrated by the whole country. The new-age boss announced that the company would give half a day off to watch the opening ceremony of the Asian Games.

The company specially placed a 25-inch color TV for everyone to watch.

But Cao Jian ran to Yang Yuying's recording studio as soon as possible.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and he couldn't wait, just to bring the girl home. As soon as Cao Jian entered the recording studio, he heard the singing voice that made people want to take insulin.

"Let me tell you gently that the stars in the sky are waiting to share your loneliness and your joy. What else can't be said?"

The singing made his body tremble. It was like going back to the time before his rebirth when he first heard this song and was mesmerized by the girl's voice.

That kind of sweet voice will make any man feel numb.

In the recording studio, Yang Yuying was wearing a pinafore skirt and headphones, singing passionately.

Although her eyes are closed, her small body twists and turns, and the swaying posture is enough to captivate people.

This song was written by my boyfriend. Every line of the lyrics is like a confession to myself.

She was immersed in it, and her mind was filled with the bad man who had held her hand but had never confessed his love to her.

Yang Yuying's voice is extremely sweet, and now that she is singing with all her heart, Cao Jian even feels that it is better than any version he has heard before.

“Don’t ask me how high the sun is, I will tell you how real I am. Don’t ask me how many stars there are, I will tell you many, many.”

Listening to the song, Cao Jian recalled the cute look of Yang Yuying gently patting her face in the MV.

The more Cao Jian thought about it, the hotter he felt: "Today, I must succeed."

Yang Yuying can be said to be the founder of the "jiazi" sound, but she really does it, not pretending.

She is beautiful, has a sweet voice, and is invincible in her youth.

After her, the title of Queen of Sweet Songs of China was lost.

After completing this recording, Yang Yuying opened her eyes and just saw Cao Jian outside. Her bright eyes immediately curved into crescents, and she took off her headphones and ran out.

“Did I sing well?”

"It sounds good, really good. No one can sing this song better than you."

"whee."

Being praised like this by the person she likes, Yang Yuying's pretty face immediately broke into a bright smile, and her laughter was as loud as a silver bell.

Although the sound engineer and other staff members thought the laughter was pleasant, they all rolled their eyes at Cao Jian out of jealousy.

He is really good at picking up girls. Besides being able to write songs, his voice is even sweeter than Yang Yuying's.

Cao Jian ignored the jealousy of the people around him and boasted, "Let's go to my house to watch the opening ceremony this afternoon."

"on vacation?"

When Yang Yuying heard about the holiday, she jumped for joy: "Great, let's go now."

She hasn't watched it since she last bought a TV.

This happened in the company. The two did not hold hands, but just left side by side.

Just as he was about to go downstairs, he ran into Mao Neng: "Xiao Yang, buddy, you guys are leaving? Aren't you going to watch the Asian Games this afternoon?"

"Go home and see, I just bought a color TV."

Having said that, he took his girlfriend and left Mao Nian behind with a surprised look on his face.

"Damn! He bought a color TV? He's so rich? Is he a rich second generation?"

Although the term "pretending" didn't exist at that time, Mao Ning always felt that this man who was younger than him was good at pretending.

At the same time, looking at the backs of the two people, I was really envious.

These days, not only has the company been spreading rumors about Cao Jian writing songs, but also about the sweet girl Yang Yuying.

This new girl has not yet become famous, but there are really many people who have fantasies about her.

Now it seems that this guy named Cao Jian has gotten there first.

"He can write songs, sing beautifully, and has such a beautiful girlfriend. You can't compare."

Only when the figures of Yang Yuying and the other person disappeared did he reluctantly look away.

On the roadside, Cao Jian stopped a taxi.

The two sat in the back seat. The taxi driver in the front seat looked at them through the rearview mirror, feeling a little envious of the young man in the car.

As soon as he got in the car, Cao Jian grabbed Yang Yuying's tender hand and gently rubbed it in his palm.

Now, Yang Yuying, who was already in love, had no intention of refusing this intimate behavior.

She agreed to go home with him and was already used to their physical contact. All of this made Cao Jian look forward to what was going to happen next.
