Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 64 Picking up girls under orders
After leaving the crew, Cao Jian was still a little dazed.

Although I was a reborn person, I also thought that with the countless popular songs in my mind, I would be able to do well in Hong Kong.

But I really never thought that happiness would come so quickly.

Being the leading actor in a movie, especially one starring Xu Ke, is something many people dream of.

I just proposed a charity performance and I got to know Mei Yanfang and got such an opportunity?
But, does this big sister of the entertainment industry really like me?

Cao Jian really wanted to know why Mei Yanfang praised him so much.

If he really liked me, he didn't know how to refuse.

If not, then find a way to repay her.

But I can't ask directly about this kind of thing. If there is a misunderstanding, it would be very embarrassing.

It wasn't until they were almost at their residence that Cao Jian tentatively said, "Sister Mei, you look so beautiful when you drive."

"is it?"

Mei Yanfang was stunned and only replied, "Thank you."

"Thanks?"

Cao Jian was a little confused. Is this the end?

This attempt failed with just this "thank you".

So Cao Jian was too lazy to think about it, as it was useless to think about it.

The key now is to record the album quickly and make a name for ourselves as soon as possible.

The sports car arrived at the intersection of their apartment building, and Cao Jian and Mei Yanfang waved goodbye.

The next day, Cao Jian came to the company. As soon as he entered the recording studio, he saw Zhou Huimin resting her chin on her hand, sitting there in a daze.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and I don’t know what she was thinking.

But it looks beautiful.

"Ms. Zhou, good morning. Is Brother Hui here?"

Cao Jian took a look, went over to say hello, and prepared to go find his agent.

Zhou Huimin saw Cao Jian and asked, "Cao Jian, I heard you proposed to hold a charity performance for disaster relief. How did you come up with this idea?"

"You know it all?"

Cao Jian was curious about how this news spread so quickly. Even Zhou Huimin knew about it in just one day.

"When I arrived, I heard from Xueyou that he had already called on all the artists in the company to go."

Zhou Huimin explained first, then said, "I also heard that you plan to sing the title song you are currently recording at the charity concert. Aren't you really afraid that it will affect the album sales? What if the company doesn't agree?"

"I just plan to talk to my agent first."

Cao Jian smiled and said, "Even if it affects sales, as long as I can donate more money and help more people, I don't care about the income."

"is it?"

When Zhou Huimin heard this, she sighed and said, "You are really kind-hearted."

"It should."

Cao Jian smiled indifferently at the compliment and asked, "By the way, you should also participate. What song do you plan to sing?"

"I'd better sing my old songs. I need to make money."

"Haha, as long as the intention is there."

Cao Jian didn't say much, but he felt that this woman really had a "little Jewish" feeling.

I guess it’s because I was short of money when I was a kid.

After Cao Jian left, Zhou Huimin propped her chin up with her hand and thought to herself, "This Cao Jian is really different from other men."

However, she was still too embarrassed to tell Cao Jian that she wanted him to write a song for her.

The main reason was that he was afraid that Cao Jian would take the opportunity to make some demands on him.

Cao Jian found his agent Ke Zhihui and told him that he was planning to sing "The Sea" at the charity performance.

"Your idea is good, but I'm afraid the company won't agree."

Ke Zhihui immediately expressed his concerns.

If you sing it in advance, with luck, it might boost album sales, but with bad luck, sales might plummet.

"Even if there is a reduction, it will only be in Hong Kong. Mainland China and Taiwan will not be affected."

Cao Jian still insisted on his idea: "Please help talk to the company. If it is affected, I will release another album this year. There are so many disaster victims in the mainland who need help. I have to do something."

"Okay, I'll go talk to Mr. Zheng."

Seeing Cao Jian's persistence, Ke Zhihui was moved by his love and had to go to talk to his boss about this matter.

Not long after, he came back and said, "Xiao Cao, the boss has agreed to your request, but if the sales of the album "The Sea" are affected, you will have to work hard to release a new album before the Spring Festival."

After that, he said with a strange look on his face: "Mr. Zheng asked you, what is it like to work with Zhou Huimin?"

"Why does he ask that?"

When Cao Jian heard this question, he also looked confused.

"I do not know either."

Ke Zhihui also didn't understand: "Maybe he's just showing concern. After all, you two are newcomers who were just signed this year."

"Oh."

Cao Jian touched his chin and thought about his boss's question.

Did the boss assign Zhou Huimin and I to work under the same agent on purpose?
Did she want me to write songs for her? To open up the mainland market?

Or maybe, he wants me to seduce this woman so that she can stay in PolyGram with peace of mind?
Then wouldn’t I be picking up girls on orders?

In that case
Hey, why should I be polite?
However, if you want to date Zhou Huimin, it would be best if you could act with him, and then help her write another song, the one called "Infatuation in Exchange for Deep Love".

Also, TVB is going to film "The Greed of Man" next year, so we have to find a way to get it.

It is easiest to get emotional when filming.

According to PolyGram's original plan, Cao Jian's first album in Hong Kong was to be released before September.

Later, Cao Jian wrote the title song himself, which took only three days, thus saving the company a month.

Now Cao Jian is going to sing "The Sea" at a charity performance, so PolyGram has adjusted the release time of this album to early July.

Now it is early June, and the company has to speed up, leaving Cao Jian no time to even pick up girls.

During this period, Cao Jian and Mei Yanfang met twice, once to discuss the T-shirt pattern for a charity performance.

Cao Jian’s suggestion was to have red words on a white background, with two hands holding each other on the water waves.

Mei Yanfang thought this suggestion was very good and adopted it immediately, asking people to start production as soon as possible.

The second meeting was to discuss the details of the charity performance.

Although Cao Jian had no status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, Mei Yanfang still called him as the first person to bring up this matter.

This time, Cao Jian met Zeng Zhiwei, an artist he didn't like very much.

Although this person is not very good, he is really good at hosting and is good at livening up the atmosphere.

Besides, Cao Jian is just a newcomer in Hong Kong and has no ability to change anything for the time being.

Throughout June, thanks to media and news coverage, most Hong Kong people knew about the floods in East China.

At the end of June, Cao Jian completed the production of his first album "The Sea" in Hong Kong.

June 30th, Happy Valley, Hong Kong.

A large stage has been built, with a line of words hanging on the top of the stage: Hong Kong performing arts community mobilizes for a selfless grand performance.

Before the performance began, tens of thousands of spectators had already gathered in the central square of Happy Valley Club.

TVB, ATV and other TV stations are also preparing to broadcast this evening party, and at the same time, images of the flood are being played on the big screen.

Next to the screen, the donation number is still "0".

As the time reached three o'clock, suddenly, a melodious music sounded on the stage.

The originally noisy audience immediately looked towards the stage when they heard this song.

I saw a young man who was only about twenty years old, holding a strange musical instrument, walking into the band.

"He? Who is he? He's the first one to appear?"

The tens of thousands of spectators below the stage looked at the young man who seemed to be about to perform a solo, all with confused expressions.
Although I don’t know him, the first one to appear was quite grand.
