Chapter 431 Suicide Female Fan (Part [-])
three days later.

Chen Xiaotang came to visit Fa Ge who is gaining weight again.

Not far away, Brother Fa was holding a plate of vegetables, hiccupping unceasingly, looking at the nutritionist Chen Xiaotang invited with pleading eyes, and said, "Oh, I...I really can't do it anymore, I can't eat eggs anymore, Uh~! I’m dreaming at night now... I can dream that I’ve turned into a chicken, chirping with wings between my legs... I really can’t eat any more!"

The nutritionist looked at Fa Ge's slightly fatter handsome face, shrugged, took the plate and said, "You say that to prove that our menu is very effective! But seeing how uncomfortable you are, I won't let you eat any more." Eggs!"

Fa Ge's eyes lit up, he grabbed the nutritionist's arm and said, "Is what you said true?! Don't eat eggs anymore?!"

"Don't eat!"

"Really don't eat?!"

"Ok!"

"Thank you, you are such a good person!" Fa Ge said gratefully.

The nutritionist smiled slightly: "You don't have to thank me—let's eat chocolate instead!"

With a bang, Fa Ge almost fell off the chair. "No - ever since I ate more than a dozen catties of chocolate, I feel like throwing up when I see a Filipino maid with dark skin! You still let me eat it, do you want to see how I become an African?!"

"Will eating chocolate make you African? There is no scientific basis for this! Come on, be obedient, don't eat too much, only thirty or so yuan!"

There was no other way, Fa Ge had no choice but to take the chocolate angrily, and muttered: "Chocolate, chocolate, others love you like a treasure, but I hate you like grass——Chocolate, chocolate, do I have any enmity with you in the previous life? Why do you want to do this? torture me?!"

A person patted Fa Ge on the shoulder: "Why do you hear that you are speaking to me?"

Brother Fa looked back at Chen Xiaotang, with a serious expression on his face, and said: "I knew you were here, this sentence is for you!"

Chen Xiaotang: "Look at how wronged I am. You are not only ungrateful for letting you eat so many good things for free, but you also say so about me."

Fa Ge: "Who made you torture me with these things?"

"This is not torture, this is a test!" Chen Xiaotang said earnestly, "As an actor, you have to sacrifice everything for filming. Do you know that there was once a man in a foreign country who wanted to play the role of an insomniac? Lost 26kg - that's a third of his body weight!"

What Chen Xiaotang was talking about was the classic foreign thriller film "The Mechanic" in his previous life, and the actor in it, Christian Bell, absolutely risked his life to perform this play.For this reason, it is also called the first of the "Top Ten Tough Guys in Hollywood" by future film critics, ranking ahead of Stallone, Jean-Claude Van Damme and others.

"Is what you said true?" Fa Ge asked in disbelief.

"No lie!" Chen Xiaotang said in a firm tone, then patted Brother Fa on the shoulder and said with a sigh: "If you can't hold on, I won't force you anymore, after all I have no right to let you do this, but There is one thing I want to tell you - being an actor is not that simple!"

"Being an actor is not that simple..." Fa Ge silently repeated Chen Xiaotang's words in his heart.

Then he raised his head and said, "A Tang, you are right. I am an actor, so I should have the professional ethics of an actor! I will definitely do well in this movie!"

"Hahaha, this is the one I know, Zhou Runfa, the fearless king of drama kings!"

"Hehe, don't hurt me!" Fa Ge smiled and punched Chen Xiaotang, "Why don't you be a little bit different and eat chocolate with me?!"

"Forget it!" Chen Xiaotang hurriedly waved his hands, "I'm dark enough already, so I don't need to eat any more!"
"Oh, by the way, Ah Tang, I heard that you have been driven crazy by those fans recently, and I strongly urge you to release a record soon, and I want to hear you sing." Fa Ge laughed.For Chen Xiaotang's success in the music scene, he is very happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Actually, I've already recorded an album, I'm going to test the waters, as long as the results are good, the record will be out soon!"
When he said these words, Chen Xiaotang's "In My Singing" had already been sent to major radio stations.

Chen Xiaotang has heard it himself, and found that the bewitching power is not only effective on the spot, it is still effective on record, although it is not as strong as it sounds on the spot, but it is more like an indescribable force coming from his voice. The taste is exceptionally contagious, and even he himself feels very charming after hearing it.

When Chen Xiaotang's album of love songs was broadcast on the radio for the first time, except for Chen Xiaotang, everyone involved was extremely nervous. Although they were full of confidence in this album, their concern was chaotic, and no one could deal with it calmly.However, this doubt was immediately dispelled. From the next day, the ranking of "In My Singing Voice" on the major album charts has been rising steadily, and it has already ranked first a week later.

The reason for such good results can not but be attributed to those invincible fans of Chen Xiaotang, especially those who called the company. It looks like people who believe in cults, if anyone doesn't believe, they even put on a desperate posture.

Under such circumstances, believe it or not, they are all very interested in Chen Xiaotang anyway, and when the news spread that Chen Xiaotang is going to release an album, in order to hear this song for the first time, the fans waiting by the radio have no idea how many.

And Chen Xiaotang's songs did not disappoint them. Among other things, just listening to Chen Xiaotang's voice is already a kind of enjoyment, not to mention that the music is more extraordinary and refined, making it unforgettable.So without Chen Xiaotang's knowledge, besides the original "Lafite Party", several groups of die-hard admirers have formed, and even "Chen Xiaotang Fan Clubs" have started to be established in various schools.

Such a good result can't be said to be unexpected, but it still made everyone very happy. Only Chen Xiaotang didn't understand, but seeing that everyone was beaming, his mood was naturally not too bad.

With the success of the water test, and the voices of fans and movie fans, major record companies in Hong Kong also sent congratulatory messages, and at the same time requested to obtain the distribution rights of "In My Singing".

You must know that making records and making movies have the same goal. Making movies includes preparation, shooting, distribution, and screening; while making records includes preparation, recording, distribution, and sales... among which distribution and sales are the most important. In terms of distribution channels, it is equivalent to the "theatres" that show movies. If you have more "channels", you can greatly increase the number of sales.

Looking back, those who can master the "distribution channels" of records are all the top record companies in Hong Kong.

For the newly established Moying Entertainment, it is not impossible to make records, but the distribution channels cannot be "cultivated" overnight. No matter how good it is, if there is no good channel to help you market, let alone a platinum record, you may not even be able to achieve gold!
It was for this reason that Chen Xiaotang, Huang Zhan and others had to choose one among Universal, Warner, EMI, and Polygram. As for Sony, which was run by the Japanese, Chen Xiaotang directly gave it a pass.

After some comparison and deliberation, Chen Xiaotang finally set his sights on Polygram.

For PolyGram, as long as they are Chinese, as long as they like listening to music, they will be very familiar with it.It is a memory that cannot be erased.

At the end of the 80s in the previous life, PolyGram once owned almost the most famous artists and orchestras in the world: the world's three major tenors, and the conductors include the most famous Karajan, Abbado, Seiji Ozawa, etc. Orchestras include the most famous Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Amsterdam Philharmonic Orchestra and so on.

In addition to setting up branches in Europe and the United States, PolyGram has also set up branches in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and other regions in Asia to make its business in Asia achieve greater development.

As early as 1996, a large number of Polygram series VCDs were published in mainland China. This should be the largest domestic distribution of genuine VCDs. There should be no less than 100 varieties released at the same time. A large number of such VCDs have been found in the city, including the MTV series of original singers of Polygram, Zhang Xueyou's MTVs of original singers are the most solo albums, and Xu Xiaofeng, Tan Yonglin, Liming, Zhou Huimin, beyond, etc. MTV.

Although the production of these albums was relatively simple at that time, the disc boxes used for packaging were very exquisite. Most of the single disc boxes were sky blue or rose in color. The round logo of Xiaohuawang, while the double-disc boxes of the concert series are all golden yellow, and the three gold characters of "Little Huawang" and the logo of Xiaohuawang are hot-plated on the thick side of the disc box, which was in the VCD packaging at that time. is unique.

The price of this series of VCDs was 35 yuan/piece for a single disc and 60 yuan/piece for a double disc. Among them, the solo album and the concert series sold well, but the compilation albums that accounted for a larger proportion were of average quality due to the selection of songs. Most of them are in Cantonese, and there are many repetitions, so they are not sold very well in the Mainland, resulting in a large amount of inventory.
In 99, this kind of disc suddenly had a big sale. At that time, this kind of disc could be seen in most of BJ's large and small audio-visual stores, and the lowest processing price reached 5 yuan per disc.It should be said that such an ultra-low price is quite a surprise for disc fans, but it is a pity that many consumers who do not know the authenticity will treat it as a pirated version because of this lower price than a pirated version. .Since the big clearance in 99, this kind of disc has almost disappeared. Now only a few large audio-visual stores in the mainland still sell a small number of compilation albums that are not very good, and the price is still above 30 yuan. This is what it can preserve. one of the reasons.

Based on the "friendship" with PolyGram, Chen Xiaotang suggested that it is best to cooperate with the other party.

Huang Zhan is also a veteran in the music industry, and he has a much deeper understanding of PolyGram than Chen Xiaotang. However, PolyGram is preparing to make a big splash in Asia, and it would be a good choice to cooperate with them.

So after Chen Xiaotang suggested, he nodded in agreement.

……

Bruce Mauno, a native of Pennsylvania, USA.A well-known American record publishing expert, when PolyGram planned to enter the Asian market, he was appointed by the head office as the president of the Asia-Pacific region, mainly in charge of the record markets in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Taiwan.People in the industry call it the ghost of the Chinese record industry "the emperor"!
If Moying Entertainment wants to sell Chen Xiaotang's solo album on the largest scale, it must get the help of Mr. Bruce and sign a cooperation agreement.

Out of respect for Polygram Records, Chen Xiaotang, Huang Zhan, and Gu Jiahui prepared a detailed contract early in the morning, and gave a summary and statement on the possible future situation of the record market.

According to the secretary in charge of making an appointment for Bruce, Bruce will not have time until around eleven noon local time today, so Chen Xiaotang made an appointment at eleven o'clock.

At the same time, considering that the meeting might not be held until after twelve o'clock, which happened to be at the time of meal, Chen Xiaotang and the others specially booked a banquet at a famous French western restaurant in Hong Kong to entertain Bruce.

Knowing that this American likes to eat French steak, and the beef must be fattened by air, Chen Xiaotang also carefully explained that the chef must choose the best beef.

……

Since Chen Xiaotang himself had to take care of the preparations for "God of Gamblers", he squeezed in time, which was enough time no matter what, but who knew he encountered another very headache.

TV live report:
A female fan of Chen Xiaotang, after listening to his songs, stood on the rooftop and was about to commit suicide by jumping off a building!

As the camera flickered, the Hong Kong police who heard the news sent negotiators to rescue, but were threatened by the female fan, she stepped forward and immediately jumped off the building.

In the end, after appeasing and persuading her, she put forward the conditions, unless Chen Xiaotang came over immediately, she would consider coming down from upstairs.

Chen Xiaotang immediately received a call from the police, hoping that he could help.

It's messed up, all of Chen Xiaotang's arrangements were disrupted!
However, human life was at stake, and Chen Xiaotang couldn't care too much, so he drove directly to the scene of the accident.

When he arrived at the scene, he saw that the basement of the six-storey building was full of people.

Everyone pointed towards the roof above.

"Wow, why do you want to commit suicide at such a young age?"

"It's not because I was fascinated by that Chen Xiaotang!"

"That's right, Chen Xiaotang's singing voice is too charming!"

……

Chen Xiaotang didn't care to listen to what they had to say, and immediately opened the car door and got down from above.

As soon as he showed up here, he immediately exploded the scene.

"Look, it's Chen Xiaotang, he's here!"

"Yes, he is Chen Xiaotang!"

……

"Laughing, I love you!"

"Laughing, I really like your song!"

.......
"Tang Zai, we support you!"

"Tang Zai, you are the best!"

……

The people who were standing below and waiting to watch the fun crowded towards Chen Xiaotang.

Chen Xiaotang saw that the situation was not right, so he had to say loudly: "I'm sorry, everyone, please step aside, it's important to save people!"

Seeing that he was surrounded by people, the policemen who maintained order had to come up to help him get rid of the crowd, but the people still swarmed and refused to disperse.

After finally squeezing out a passage, Chen Xiaotang followed a negotiator up the stairs.

When going upstairs, the negotiator carefully said to Chen Xiaotang: "The client is very emotional, I hope you don't provoke her with words... Well, the best thing is that you can tell her some happy things to appease her. Let her calm down. According to my many years of experience in this industry, most of those who have suicidal tendencies belong to emotionally sensitive and vulnerable groups, so they must be given a sense of security in their hearts!"

Chen Xiaotang nodded to express his understanding.

Walking quickly to the rooftop, I saw the female fan who wanted to jump off the building crying holding a photo of Chen Xiaotang.

"Miss, don't cry. At your request, we have brought Chen Xiaotang!" The negotiator said.

"Chen Xiaotang? Is he here?" The female fan who wanted to commit suicide suddenly raised her head, and the first thing she saw was Chen Xiaotang with a sincere smile.

"You, are you really Laughing, Chen Xiaotang?" she asked.

Chen Xiaotang nodded firmly: "It's me, that's right, can you come down from the balcony first?"

The female fan nodded and shook her head, "Laughing, I love you, I love you so much! Do you know?"

Chen Xiaotang hurriedly nodded and said, "I know, of course I know! But your actions will only hurt those who care about you!"

"I don't want to, but I really like you and want to see you!" The female fan cried.

The negotiator next to Chen Xiaotang hurriedly signaled to Chen Xiaotang, "To appease his emotions, we must appease her emotions!"

Chen Xiaotang couldn't laugh or cry, this expert must be too wordy.

"Didn't you see me now? OK, don't be impulsive, just walk down obediently, okay?" Chen Xiaotang opened his arms affectionately.

"No, you're leaving as soon as I come, I want to see you more!" the female fan said stubbornly.

Chen Xiaotang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, shrugged his shoulders and said, "How about this, I promise you, as long as you are willing to come down, I will talk with you for a while, how about talking for an hour?"

"What you said...is it true?"

"Of course, so many people are here, how could I lie to you!" Chen Xiaotang laughed.

The female fan seemed to hesitate for a moment before moving slowly.

Seeing her coming down from the edge of the roof, the surrounding policemen breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Xiaotang also breathed a sigh of relief.

The next situation is simple. In order to fulfill his promise to this death-seeking female fan, Chen Xiaotang had to stay here for more than an hour, listening to this female fan say how much she likes herself, how obsessed with herself, listening to her Tell me which song you like, and she is broken in love, her boyfriend doesn't want her anymore, the only person she is in love with now is Chen Xiaotang...

Her complaining like beans made Chen Xiaotang have two big heads. On the one hand, he had to take care of her emotions, and on the other hand, he kept checking the time, for fear of delaying the meeting.
