Chapter 421: Taking the Initiative to Take Refuge
"No, no," Richard Carpenter hurriedly waved his hand: "I haven't eaten it for a long time, and the doctor has helped me recuperate." ”
"Yes," Chen Geng smiled and nodded, "Compared to Karen's problem, yours is a small problem." ”
In fact, to put it bluntly, Richard Carpenter's problem is purely urgent: as the soul of a band and the creator, the works he writes are no longer liked by the public, Richard Carpenter is of course anxious, after trying a variety of styles and finding that there is no effect, of course he is anxious, in this case, Richard Carpenter can still hold back, and it is already very good that he does not rely on @ drugs to find the so-called inspiration like the creators of other bands in the circle.
Karen Carpenter was a little embarrassed, but it was Richard Carpenter, who hurriedly nodded and echoed: "Yes, that doctor is indeed very powerful," after a pause, he added: "Chinese medicine is very powerful." ”
When he said this, Richard Carpenter's expression was full of convincing Chinese medicine.
Before going to China, although Richard Carpenter had also heard of Chinese medicine, he, like the vast majority of Americans, had always been sideways and scoffed at Chinese medicine, thinking that Chinese medicine was just like those witchcraft in the Middle Ages, all of which were deceptive and ignorant.
But after seeing Chen Geng, the "Oriental wizard", make a clear diagnosis of his sister's condition with only a pair of eyes, and see the results of the treatment of his sister by the doctor who Mr. Fernandez called a "national treasure" in China, Richard Carpenter was completely convinced of Chinese medicine - he couldn't be convinced, and the result was basically sentenced to "death" 's sister, now it's completely better, not only is it completely better, but the whole person is also radiant as if she is two or three years younger, and the actual example is around you, what else do you want?
"Hehe......" Chen Geng smiled and nodded.
He could see that the Carpenter siblings had come to look for him, and there should be something.
But also, now is the most popular time for "Ghost Love", as the leading actor, Richard has to follow the crew to promote almost every day, at least two or three a day, at most four or five a day, the dog is not as busy as him, if it weren't for a full reason, he would come to him with Karen at this time?
But this mouth cannot be opened by oneself.
Richard Carpenter also knew that he didn't have the qualifications to let Chen Geng take the initiative to ask, and after a brief pause, Richard Carpenter pursed his lips, as if he had made up his mind: "Sir, Karen and I want to become artists under your company." ”
"You want to sign me into my company?" Chen Geng was a little surprised, looking at Richard Carpenter and Karen Carpenter in surprise.
Of course, he knew that the Carpenter brothers came to him when "The Ghost Love" was still in theaters, and the crew still needed to go around to promote and advertise, and he must have something to discuss with him, but he didn't expect that what the Carpenter brothers wanted to discuss with him was actually this matter, and they wanted to sign into their own company? The film and television company I registered is purely for the convenience of making movies, except for a few necessary office staff, not to mention professional agents, and even the finance is outsourced, signing a contract with me may not be of much help to your career development. ”
Karen Carpenter said urgently: "Mr. Fernandez......"
"Wait for me to finish speaking, first of all, I am very grateful to the two of you for their trust in me," Chen Geng raised his hand and motioned to Karen to wait for a while: "But in my opinion, your decision may not be very wise, with the depth and breadth of your brother and sister's influence in the American music scene over the years, plus the results of the two movies "Bodyguard" and "Ghost Love", as long as you show that you want to change companies, any music company or film and television company in the world will definitely open the door to you. Whether it's with top record companies like Rolling Stone or Sony, or with top film and television production companies like Twentieth Century Fox, they can provide you with the most resources and help at the same time, and provide you with a contract with the least constraints, but if you work with me, ......"
Shrugging his shoulders, Chen Geng said sincerely: "You should know that my film and television company is purely for the convenience of investing in film and television, believe me, the help I can provide to you is far less than that of giants like Rolling Stone, Sony, Twentieth Century Fox, and Columbia." ”
Both Richard Carpenter and Karen Carpenter are a bit silly.
Before this, the brother and sister never thought that they would be rejected, in their past, their brother and sister were the hottest singers and shadows in the advanced United States, Rolling Stone, EMI, Sony, Columbia, Twentieth Century Fox...... And so on, these world-class giant companies have all sent invitations and made countless promises to their brothers and sisters before this.
Of course, you have to ask, why do these world-class music, film and television giants give so much Chen Nuo, and the Carpenter brothers and sisters still want to cooperate with Chen Geng? Is it because Chen Geng has helped them return to the status of the top line of entertainment, do the brothers and sisters want to repay the favor?
The idea of repaying the favor cannot be said to be nothing, but in fact, it is a little bit, in the final analysis, it is still a benefit.
In the process of cooperation with Chen Geng, the brother and sister found that Chen Geng was different from all the predators and crocodiles in the entertainment industry that they had contacted before, those large and small record companies, film and television production companies and brokerage companies that were mixed in Hollywood and the record industry, just regarded those singers and movie stars who were extremely beautiful in the eyes of ordinary people as a machine, or to be more precise, a production tool that could make them money, and that's it, everything was cold.
But in the two collaborations with Chen Geng, in addition to making more money, the brother and sister also felt Chen Geng's respect for themselves, not the superficial and perfunctory respect, but the respect for themselves as friends.
Of course, this is not the fundamental reason why the brother and sister decided to cooperate with Chen Geng, at best it can only be regarded as a plus, the real fundamental reason is the two movies "Bodyguard" and "Ghost Love" and the theme song of "Bodyguard" that made Karen Carpenter amaze the world again: "I will always love you".
What does this mean?
This shows that Fernandez Chan is not only a very successful and powerful businessman, but he is also a very good screenwriter and a very good songwriter.
For the Carpenter siblings, Chen Geng's point is what they value the most: although Mr. Fernandez seems to have incredible talent in screenwriting and songwriting, and also has the intention of making money from these, he does not seem to have any intention of setting up a large or medium-sized film and music company, which has been established for more than a year, and has not signed an agent, a singer or an actor, purely for the purpose of investing in the production of film and television......
But that's exactly what the brother and sister want.
The reason is very simple, my brother and sister can use the company's resources to the maximum, especially the boss's resources.
As an aside, the two brothers watched Chen Geng take out the scripts of "Bodyguard" and "Ghost Love" from the same safe, and take out the lyrics and songs of "I will always love you", although I don't know how many things are in it, but a lot of documents in it can be seen.
can gain a firm foothold in the American music scene, the brother and sister are certainly not stupid, and they can naturally guess that the safe is the safe of the script and some lyrics and songs specially created by Chen Geng, although it cannot be guaranteed that not all scripts and lyrics have the level and quality of "Bodyguard", "Ghost Love", and "I Will Always Love You", but even half of it...... No, a third or even a quarter, and his brother and sister also made a fortune.
But the two of them thought of everything, but they didn't expect Chen Geng to refuse, these are two big cash cows, how could he be willing to do it, how could he refuse it without hesitation?
For a while, both brother and sister were a little stunned.
Or was his brother Richard Carpenter more responsive: "Mr. Fernandez, can I know why......? I mean, it seems that Karen and I are not only good at singing, but also pretty good as actors, and the two movies that you've invested in this year are definitely making you more than $100 million, and you're talented in that, so I think we can continue to work together......"
"I understand what you mean, and I am also very grateful for the trust you have placed in me," Chen Geng explained apologetically: "Of course, there is no doubt that our cooperation is very pleasant, you can rest assured, if I have a suitable script and song in my hand in the future, I will definitely give priority to working with you."
But as you can see, my main focus is not on film, television and music, and I don't have much time and energy to focus on this, signing into my company will affect your development......"
Mirren, who couldn't bear it for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask: "Boss, can I say a word?"
The current Mirren, relying on the previous hack of Chrysler cars and Lee Iacoca, seems to have become the "Queen of Detroit Media", but she is very smart and knows where her power and influence come from, so although she is very busy every day now, she will still find time to be "on duty" by Chen Geng's side as much as possible.
No, the surprise is coming?
When the Carpenter brothers and sisters took the initiative to take refuge, after the initial surprise, Mirren was simply ecstatic in his heart!
