Chapter 74: Amazing
Hong Kong Universal Music is actually composed of a number of record companies, such as New Yibao, Zhengdong, Polydor Records, etc., which were popular in the Southeast Asian entertainment industry in the early years, and now they have been merged or acquired by Universal, and Universal's overseas head office also owns a number of famous music labels.
This has made Universal Music the world's largest record label, with a 25.6% share of the world record market and the world's largest library of music content, from classical to jazz to pop.
In the previous life, the company's artists included Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Justin Bieber and other world-class pop superstars, and on the Chinese pop music scene, it also has Alan Tam, Jacky Cheung, Eason Chan, Stefanie Sun and other kings and queens, and is an absolute giant in the record industry.
After Zheng Qian and the brokerage team landed in Hong Kong, they were picked up by a business car sent by Wan Feng, all the way to Kowloon, stopped in front of a building, Wan Feng was already waiting in the hall, and when he saw Zheng Qian, he happily greeted him in Cantonese: "Qian Zai, don't come to harm, are you okay?"
"Very good!" Zheng Qian shook hands with Wan Feng, and then introduced the team members behind him.
This time, in addition to Ren Xin, Zheng Qian also came with lawyer Cheng Jinming, as well as assistants Wang Gang and Hao Youfan.
Artemisia Youfan is a new makeup artist and assistant, very young, only 20 years old, is a Northeast girl, speaks with an inner taste, and is also a source of happiness in the team, just joined the company was sent to Hong Kong on a business trip, because she did not apply for a Hong Kong and Macao pass, she rushed back to her hometown to handle it, and hurried to hurry up to not delay this trip, and was always in a state of excitement along the way.
The group followed Wan Feng to the 28th floor of the building, this entire floor was contracted by Universal Music for a long time, the decoration was very luxurious, the entire floor was covered with soundproof carpets, when Zheng Qian and others stepped on it, even the sound of shoes rubbing the carpet was so small that they couldn't hear it.
Artemisia Youfan followed behind Ren Xin, looking at all this curiously, she is the cousin of Zhang Min, the company's financial director, she has never been out of the Northeast since she was so old, and finally came to the capital, and her first job was arranged to a star as an assistant, and she was sent to Hong Kong before she was familiar with the environment.
It's really a mess of flowers, and it's getting more and more charming!
Along the way, she leaned on the window of the plane and looked out.
After getting off the plane, I leaned on the window of the business car and looked out.
Those modern high-rise buildings are even more magnificent than those on TV, and you can't see your head even if you tilt your neck, which brings a great shock to the little girl's heart.
even felt a trace of inferiority, causing her to walk behind everyone, all the time dodging, not daring to look up at people.
Because it was so conspicuous, it also made the Universal Music employees he met along the way laugh.
Wan Feng, who was walking in front, noticed it, glanced at it, shook his head, didn't care, and continued to lead Zheng Qian towards the company's reception room.
But Zheng Qian noticed that he deliberately slowed down his pace, maintained the same walking speed as Hao Youfan, and said with a smile: "How is it, the first time you go out on the field, are you still used to it?"
"It's ok. Artemisia Youfan said nervously, but obviously duplicitous.
"Don't be nervous. ”
Zheng Qian smiled: "In this way, you raise your head, hold your chest high, keep your confidence, don't dodge your eyes, yes, that's it, don't be nervous......"
"I, it's my first time going abroad......" Artemisia Youfan's nervous face turned red.
Ren Xin next to her heard this sentence and immediately corrected: "Xiaofan, this is Hong Kong, and it has been seven years since Hong Kong returned to the motherland." ”
When Zheng Qian heard this, he frowned: "This is not going abroad, we are in Hong Kong, and what we are stepping on is Chinese soil, this is not going abroad, do you understand?"
Hao Youfan found that he had made a mistake for a while, and hurriedly said: "I understand, Brother Qian, I was too nervous, I just saw so many high-rise buildings, all next to each other, it looks like there are more than the capital, it's a bit scary, and I saw so many foreigners speaking English, I didn't react for a while, I said the wrong thing......"
Zheng Qian sighed in his heart.
At this stage, the development of the mainland is indeed inferior to that of Hong Kong, and it is estimated that this situation will not be greatly improved until after the 08 Olympic Games.
Speaking of which, cultural self-confidence is really too important.
After coming to the reception room, Wan Feng invited Zheng Qian and others to sit down, and then asked people to make tea for Zheng Qian and others.
"Brought it. ”
Zheng Qian looked at Wang Gang, and Wang Gang opened his backpack and took out a document bag.
Wan Feng was a little happy, took the document bag and said, "I'll take a look first?"
"Yes!" Zheng Qian said.
Wan Feng immediately couldn't wait to open the file bag and take out a stack of manuscripts.
He quickly flipped through them one by one, plus "The Sea and the Sky", which was indeed five songs, and settled down, so he opened the first song on the homepage and read it carefully.
The first song is called "Moonlight Serenade", he squinted his eyes and read the lyrics, and couldn't help but read it out: "The video is in the sand night, listen to the side monk swishing, and listen to the dry little Teken, such as Yang is the tree disaster picking beans......"
Completely different from "I Really Love You" and "The Sea and the Sky", this "Moon Serenade" seems to be a track composed after falling out of love.
Wan Feng glanced at Zheng Qian thoughtfully, and then looked at the next song, "The Love of Glass".
He quickly read the lyrics, and then couldn't help but glance at Zheng Qian again.
It's about falling out of love again?
Zheng Qian looked inexplicable: "What's wrong?"
Wan Feng sighed: "Qianzai, I never thought that you were like me, you were an infatuated person. ”
Zheng Qian looked at Wan Feng's empathetic look, and immediately understood, and coughed dryly: "Mr. Wan, in fact, every time I write a song, I will create a story in advance, just like when I sing, I will also make up a story for this song according to the lyrics, and when I sing, the picture in the story will appear in my mind, which will have a sense of picture and make me more involved in singing." ”
Wan Feng didn't believe it at all: "You don't have to explain. You can write such lyrics, and I believe everything you say. ”
Zheng Qian smiled bitterly.
Wan Feng took a deep breath, ran away from the sad atmosphere of broken love in his mind, and continued to read the next song.
The third song is called "Under Mt. Fuji", which is a song that persuades people to let go of a relationship.
Wan Feng looked down, and wanted to raise his head several times to ask Zheng Qian, how deeply have you been hurt in this relationship......?
Do you have the ability to not consider falling out of love again?
But in the end, I held back......
Because the lyrics of this song amazed him, his attention was refocused, and this is a work that even if there is no melody, the lyrics alone will amaze him.
"The roadblock rain is like snowflakes, are you freezing when you cry?
I'll grind this windbreaker for you until it has a corsage......"
He couldn't help but shudder, feeling like he was electrocuted, and his whole body was numb, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Good words! This song is so beautiful, it will definitely win the award!"
When Zheng Qian heard this, he looked over and immediately smiled.
This song "Under Mount Fuji" has indeed won numerous awards in his previous life, and this Wan Feng is worthy of being the music director, and he has a bit of eyesight.
