Chapter 514
"Yes. Zhu Yanyan said: "I'm sorry, but because of the earthquake in our hometown later, my family suffered a huge accident, and I really didn't have the heart to sign a contract to be a singer." You didn't contact me again......"
Zhu Yanyan said this, but she knew in her heart that the reason for not signing the contract was not just an earthquake. It's that she heard that Mr. Jia's reputation is very bad, lustful, and abusing his power. often coerces and lures some young singers who have just signed a contract to open a room with him. And she remembered that when they chatted at the beginning, this Mr. Jia had hinted to Zhu Yanyan that if she had a good relationship with him, she would be sure that she would have smooth sailing or something. So at first, Zhu Yanyan didn't immediately agree to sign the contract, and then the earthquake came.
"You mean to complain about me?" said Mr. Jia unpleasantly. "I didn't mean that!" Zhu Yanyan hurriedly said: "But Mr. Jia, we haven't signed a contract after all, and we haven't been in touch for almost a year, I thought you had given up on me, and you just got such an opportunity, so ...... Presumably Mr. Jia also understands the importance of this kind of opportunity, I hope you can understand!"
"Hmph!" Mr. Jia snorted coldly. The deputy director also frowned and said unhappily: "Yanyan, you are too presumptuous! Since Mr. Jia said that he wanted to sign you, how could he give up on you? You go and find the person who signed the contract with you, and the contract can be terminated." And do you know which music company Mr. Jia belongs to? Shenlong Records! But it is no less than time and space music! And do you know the identity of Mr. Jia? Mr. Jia is the favorite apprentice of the internationally renowned producer Qiu Fengqiu! Teacher Qiu is the production director of Shenlong Records! If you go to Shenlong Records and have Mr. Jia's care, wouldn't it be better than going to time and space music to be a little shrimp?"
"I ......" Zhu Yanyan said in her heart that the person who signed me was Ye Zheng, although my agent has not yet decided who it is, it must not be bad. And the new album will be Ye Zheng's participation in the creation and production of the whole process, isn't it much better than you, the apprentice of the production director? But this can't be said: "This is not good, I have signed a contract with Time and Space Music, and I can't break the contract!"
"Who signed you? What is his name?" Mr. Jia said, "I know a few of the agents of Time and Space Music. I'll make a phone call and ask them to terminate the contract with you, and then you sign in with us. "I'm sorry, Mr. Jia, I want to be in Time and Space Music!" Zhu Yanyan gritted her teeth and said, "The person who signed me is Ye Zheng!" "Ye Zheng, who is Ye Zheng?" Mr. Jia was stunned, then reacted and said in surprise: "Ye Zheng, Chairman of Time and Space Music, Ye Zheng?"
"That's right!" Zhu Yanyan said: "It's the Nanjing branch that Ye Dong took me to, and he personally presided over my assessment, and the contract has been signed." Five years, five million signing money!" After saying it in one breath, Zhu Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart, you have nothing to say now, right? Unexpectedly, Mr. Jia was stunned and then sneered and laughed: "Zhu Yanyan, are you deliberately deceiving people? Hehe, Ye Zheng? You lie and use your brains, okay? If it was two years ago, when Ye Zheng created time and space music, he might have personally found some potential singers. But now it's different, why did Ye Zheng just meet you? And why did he know that you could sing? He was kind enough to take you to the Nanjing branch for an assessment? Besides, the signing fee of 5 million can you dare to say it! Do you know that this year I signed four singers like you who have not yet debuted, and the highest signing fee is 500,000 yuan! 5 million, hum! Zhu Yanyan, if you don't want to go, just say it, our Shenlong Records are not all garbage!"
At this point, there was already anger, and the deputy director hurriedly persuaded Mr. Jia, and then frowned and said to Zhu Yanyan: "Zhu Yanyan, what the hell is going on with you?"
"I'm telling the truth! You don't believe it, I can't help it!" Zhu Yanyan said, and then hesitated: "In this case, don't you believe it? I'll call Ye Dong!" Of course, it is impossible for her to terminate the contract with Time and Space Music, and looking at Mr. Jia's expression and listening to his angry language, she suddenly became even more disgusted with this Mr. Jia's character.
As she spoke, Zhu Yanyan dialed Ye Zheng's phone, listened to the phone connection, and then said: "Ye Dong, I resigned from the TV station, something happened." That's the case, there is a Mr. Jia of Shenlong Records......" Zhu Yanyan said simply, the expressions of the deputy director and that Mr. Jia changed, could it be that this Zhu Yanyan really knows Ye Zheng? What she just said is true? In fact, it's no wonder that they don't believe it, the current Ye Zheng Shenlong can't see the end, and it is difficult for many well-known people in the industry to meet him. Not to mention the small backing singer of a small local TV station like Zhu Yanyan. Moreover, Ye Zheng personally assessed the signing, and the signing fee of five million didn't sound like the truth. Even his friend Yan Mingming was very skeptical.
However, Zhu Yanyan called so seriously that they all muttered in their hearts. "Here you go! Ye Dong wants to talk to you!" Zhu Yanyan handed the phone to Mr. Jia. Mr. Jia hesitated, feeling that the phone was like a bomb, and did not dare to answer it. "Believe it, right?" Zhu Yanyan smiled, seeing that Mr. Jia didn't dare to answer the phone, she wanted to take the phone back. But taking it back so simply made Mr. Jia feel that Zhu Yanyan was probably bluffing.
If you don't dare to answer it, wouldn't it be very embarrassing? Being frightened by a little girl in front of such a few people, and spreading it out, what face will there be in the future? He suddenly took the mobile phone over, startling Zhu Yanyan. "Hey, which stupid fork is pretending to be Ye Zheng here?" Mr. Jia said with his mouth open, he had already determined that the person on the other side of the phone must be pretending.
"Hehe, it seems to be Jia San in your voice. The voice from the other side made Mr. Jia tremble, his eyes suddenly widened, his hands trembled, and the mobile phone almost fell from his hand to the ground. A year and a half ago, in a hotel room, the young man on the other end of the phone gave him a harsh lesson. At the beginning, he had hatred for Ye Zheng, and this hatred became deeper and deeper, especially after Time and Space Music and Wheat Field Music jointly defeated Shenlong Records, his hatred accumulated to a certain extent. Then, erupt.
When the Luchuan earthquake broke out last year, it was he who organized people to spread seed remarks on the Internet, saying that Ye Zheng was putting on a show and spreading rumors about music artists in time and space. He thought that the rumors on the Internet were unaware, and he felt that the rumors of artists were a frequent occurrence, and there should be no bad consequences. But he didn't expect that the rumors on the Internet would be quickly drowned out by excited netizens after too many minutes, and then the Yanjing Public Security Department quickly launched a strong online investigation.
One by one, the IPs that spread rumors were found, and the Yanjing police quickly contacted the police where the main backbone IPs of each rumor were located, and then arrested an individual with great determination. In less than ten hours, all the evidence presented by all parties pointed to Jia San. Then the police arrested Jia San, and at the same time was informed of the time and space music. Before being taken away by the police, he called his master, Qiu Feng, who was angry at the apprentice's lack of brains. can only helplessly say that he will work hard.
But if the police and Time and Space Music are determined to pursue it, Shenlong Records can only abandon him Jia San, so as not to get into huge trouble. Jia San felt that the whole world was dark, he had heard that the national government attached great importance to this matter, and many media were paying attention to this matter. He knew that once he was held accountable, he would not end well at all.
He was interrogated in the police station, honestly confessed his motive and process, and then waited for unknown punishment. But after a few days at the police station, he was released. And it was Master Qiu Feng who sent someone to pick him up.
He didn't understand why this was happening. And it seems that all the media is also paying attention to the earthquake relief and touching deeds. There is no mention of the Internet rumors from a few days ago. Then, he met Qiu Feng, and only then did he learn the reason for the incident from Qiu Feng's mouth. After Qiu Feng was arrested, Qiu Feng also checked the media, and on the other hand, he cheekily called Zhou Ke in person, hoping that Zhou Ke could forgive Jia San.
"I don't care about this matter, you go and ask Ye Zheng!" Qiu Feng said a lot of good things and promised some company benefits, Zhou Ke said. Then, Qiu Feng called Ye Zheng again for this unsuccessful apprentice. He thought that Ye Zheng would be very angry, would accuse loudly, and would never let go, but he didn't expect Ye Zheng to say: "Teacher Qiu, we don't have any grievances when it comes to it. Why do you have to put people to death? If you know what you are wrong, you can change it, and there will be no next time. A few simple words spared Jia San, and also saved face for Shenlong Records. And Time and Space Music also contacted the media, saying that this matter has nothing to do with the staff of Shenlong Records.
In this way, Jia San escaped a catastrophe. The relationship between Time and Space Records and Shenlong Baina has also eased because of this opportunity, and Time and Space Music even invited their singers to participate in a charity concert. For the master to intercede regardless of face, Jia San was naturally very moved. And for Ye Zheng's mind, he, a person with poor conduct, is also full of admiration. Especially as Ye Zheng walked towards the altar of the music industry step by step, Jia San was even more respectful and awe-inspiring to Ye Zheng from the bottom of his heart. He has gradually regarded Ye Zheng as a senior figure like his master. Tell yourself that you will never offend Ye Zheng again!
Three sons. This is Jia San's "humble title", and it will only be so in front of the elders. Although Ye Zheng's age was more than ten years younger than him, facing Ye Zheng, his heart trembled, and he felt like a junior. Such a change in Jia San naturally fell into the eyes of the deputy director and Yan Mingming, and the two of them understood in an instant. The person on the other end of the phone is really Ye Zheng! Ye Zheng, the chairman of Time and Space Music!
Yan Mingming's mouth grew, his eyes widened, and he gently shook Zhu Yanyan's arm: "Yanyan, what you just said is true......" "Of course." "Oh my God......" Yan Mingming suddenly shouted: "Yanyan, you're going to be developed! Yanyan, great!" Jia San was embarrassed, but before the phone hung up, Ye Zheng asked with a smile on the other end of the phone: "I heard that you want to rob someone with me?" Jia San broke out in a cold sweat, and said continuously: "Don't dare, Ye Dong, I don't know if it's your ......" "Then if you change someone, you will snatch people from our time and space music?" Ye Zheng asked again.
"No, no!" Jia San hurriedly explained, embarrassed: "I was just angry......
"Hmm. Now you know I'm not a fake, right?" Ye Zheng said. "Got it, got it. Jia San said: "I'll leave now, no, I'll wait until Miss Zhu finishes the resignation procedures before leaving." He was worried that the deputy director would find trouble with Zhu Yanyan because he was "slapped in the face", and Ye Zheng would settle the account on him again. So he simply stared at the deputy director and handled Zhu Yanyan's matter properly before leaving. "Thank you then. Ye Zheng said. "It should be, it should be. Jia San said: "Ye Dong, don't worry here." ”
"Hmm. That's an opportunity to meet and talk. Ye Zheng said. "Okay, okay! Ye Dong goodbye. "Bye-bye. Hanging up the phone, Jia San handed the phone to Zhu Yanyan and apologized: "I'm sorry Miss Zhu, I was offended just now, please forgive me!" At this moment, Zhu Yanyan is no longer an ordinary singer in his eyes. Since the glory of time and space music, I have not heard of Ye Zheng personally assessing and signing a singer who has just debuted for more than a year. Since Ye Zheng attaches so much importance to Zhu Yanyan, presumably the time and space concert vigorously builds her. It is foreseeable that Zhu Yanyan will become a well-known or even more eye-catching singer in the next few years. Jia San didn't want to offend such a potential stock.
Immediately, with Jia San's help, Zhu Yanyan successfully completed the resignation procedures, and Jia San also sent Zhu Yanyan to the car before leaving here...... When Ye Zheng left from Suzhou, he left with Han Qiuyuan and Han Yunqing's father and daughter, and they were going to Yanjing to record an album. Ye Zheng's explanation to them was to make an album that blended Suzhou Pingtan and Western instruments.
They couldn't figure it out, but the two of them also knew that Ye Zheng was known as a "musical genius", and from his hands came out of excellent classic albums, with different styles of tunes. Not to mention those songs, let's just say that Lin Yujia's two piano albums "So-and-so's Summer" and "Autumn Whispers" released after "Spring Overture", the new album "Yangchun White Snow" of the Twelve Women's Orchestra, and several songs of the National Orchestra that caused a sensation all over the world, such as "Turkish March" and "Blue Danube", are all from Ye Zheng's hands. Ye Zheng's strength in music is naturally beyond doubt.
Back in Yanjing, Ye Zheng first let their father and daughter settle down temporarily, and then the next day he personally ran to the national orchestra and invited several cello and violin masters. In addition, Shao Hongsleeve was also invited by him, and also brought her erhu and pipa. Seven or eight people gathered together and looked at Ye Zheng curiously, wanting to know what he was going to do.
"When I went to Suzhou this time, I had some feelings, and then I made some tunes. Ye Zheng sighed as he said that his current level is not up to the level of Mr. Fan Zongpei, who is really called a "musical genius". Fan Zongpei went to Jiangnan and made an excellent album when he turned around. And he went to Suzhou, but it was just a trip to find people. Of course, with the rapid improvement of Ye Zheng's music professionalism, his real level is now quite high, but if it comes to the high difficulty of integrating Chinese and Western musical instruments, it is not enough. But I have a brain with a lot of memory, well, that's fine.
Ye Zheng took out the two music scores and the complete arrangement that had been sorted out overnight, and everyone sent a copy in their hands: "Everyone, please take a look at these three songs, "Song of the Ferryman", "Water Color" and "The Street of Bluestone Goes Evening", I mean, try a new musical technique, so that the music and Suzhou Pingtan do different forms of integration, what we have to do is a large number of traditional cognition of the art of Pingdan! For example, this "Water Color" ......"
Ye Zheng motioned for everyone to look at the arrangement score in their hands, and said: "The main use is the fusion of piano and pingdan, and then "Song of the Ferryman" is a combination of natural sounds in the environment and pingdan, piano, etc.
Zhong Weican gave Lan Long a look, and Lan Long suddenly understood that if he could participate in the production of Zhu Yanyan's album, it would be a rare opportunity for their arrangers and producers.
They understood from Ye Zheng's expression that Ye Zheng must work hard to create Zhu Yanyan, and if Zhu Yanyan's record can get good results, they will naturally have honors. And if they can keep working with Zhu Yanyan's album, if Zhu Yanyan can grow into the diva they expect. Then they are the producers of the diva, and their popularity will naturally increase a lot.
Of course, this increase in popularity is in the industry. For listeners, the vast majority of producers are transparent. But not everyone can treat the producer as a level like Ye Zheng. "This ...... The facilities in Yanjing are better than those in Nanjing. Ye Zheng said.
"Ye Dong, if there is a problem that can't be solved here in Nanjing, you can go to Yanjing again." We are absolutely confident that we will do this well. As long as you get the score out as soon as possible, we can start recording it right away!" Chung Weican vowed to say, "As long as there are two or three more songs like "I Do", we are confident that it will be a classic album!"
"What do you think?" Ye Zheng was silent for a moment and asked Zhu Yanyan. Zhu Yanyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Then it's in Nanjing, it's close to Suzhou, and I can go home from time to time." After all, my dad couldn't follow me to Yanjing, so he had to stay at home in Suzhou. ”
"Okay. Ye Zheng nodded with a smile and patted Zhu Yanyan's shoulder: "Come on, make money in the future, buy a house in Yanjing, and take the old man to your side!" "In this case, I will scan the song sheet of this album in two days and send it over, and then you can start recording." Ye Zheng said: "Later, I will take you to settle the contract first." Then let's go back to Suzhou together, and you can take care of your own affairs and then come to Nanjing to start working. This album has to be done with care, and it is best to record it within a few months, and start selling it before the year. ”
"Okay. "All three are earnestly assured. Ye Zheng found Ren Yunqiang again, and the two of them discussed it and completed Zhu Yanyan's contract. Time and Space Music signed Zhu Yanyan for five years at once. With such a good voice, Ye Zheng must firmly tie her to time and space music. And now Zhu Yanyan doesn't realize how brilliant she is in the future. The five-year contract of Time and Space Music is like a golden job in her heart.
The signing fee is 5 million, that is, the signing price of a second-tier singer, which is even lower. But Zhu Yanyan was still excited. On the way back to Suzhou from Nanjing, Zhu Yanyan has always been very excited, clenching her fists for a while, gritting her teeth, and thinking about her future life in her heart. Imagine your future destiny. Suddenly, I couldn't help but think of the days when I was a girl working hard outside in the past few years, the hard work and sweat, sadness and grievances, and I couldn't help but quietly shed tears.
And Ye Zheng is already thinking about what Zhu Yanyan's album is doing. If you follow Faye Wong's growth route, it is a little inappropriate. When Faye Wong was in high school in her early years, she received a lot of praise for her cover of Teresa Teng's works. Later, he moved to Hong Kong with his father and studied vocal music under Dai Sicong, the "godfather of music" in Hong Kong. then signed a contract with "New Yibao", but released three records and did not become a hit. Then, Faye Wong changed her stage name to "Wang Jingwen" and began to emerge. won the competition with a song "Still Old Sentences", and then launched his first solo album "Wang Jingwen", which achieved good sales. Then there is "EVERTHING" and "YOUARETHEONLYONE". It wasn't until the release of the fourth album "ComingHome" that Faye Wong really began to become popular, especially the song "Easily Injured Woman", which swept the top of the major charts in Hong Kong that year and the year-end awards ceremony.
If you think about Faye Wong's songs before this, they are all Cantonese songs, and many of them received good reviews at the time, but as early works, some are not mature enough. Plus the music style is different for each era.
So now, if you take out Faye Wong's early album and hand it over to Zhu Yanyan to sing, the effect may not be satisfactory. Ye Zheng planned that Zhu Yanyan's first album should be a Chinese album, and then the second album would be a Cantonese album. At that time, the second album can integrate the good songs from the previously mentioned albums into a good Cantonese album. Then, since the first album is a Chinese album, Ye Zheng thought of Faye Wong's first Chinese album "Mystery", which is an extremely excellent album, and it just so happens that Ye Zheng's "I Do" that has been written comes from this album. This song is extremely famous, and has been covered by many singers, and it is known as the Chinese song that has been covered with the most Chinese languages. Because of this, this album is called "I Do" by many people in China.
Then, Zhu Yanyan's first album is based on this album. Ye Zheng thought about it and decided to add the Chinese versions of the two songs "Easily Injured Woman" and "Obsessed Without Regrets". There is also the name of this album, whether it is "I Do" or "Zhu Yanyan", I still have to think about it seriously.
"I went to the TV station to quit my job and go through the resignation procedures!" Zhu Yanyan returned to Suzhou, and immediately went to the TV station. In the next few years, I will follow the company's arrangement and develop well on the road of singers. When she came to the company, Zhu Yanyan met her friend Yan Mingming, Yan Mingming knew that she went to the Nanjing branch of Time and Space Music for assessment, but she didn't know that Ye Zheng took her. "What's the matter? didn't you pass?" Yan Mingming saw that Zhu Yanyan had returned to the TV station, thinking that she had failed and came back to work, so he comforted: "Relax a little, it's normal if you don't pass." After all, it's time and space music, and how many people can't get in even if they want to. It's okay, come back to the TV station and continue to work, maybe after a while, there will be a music company that will take a fancy to you. Time and space music didn't take a fancy to you, that's because they don't have vision, my family Yanyan wants to be a big star......"
"Obviously, I passed!" Zhu Yanyan interrupted Yan Mingming's words, and hugged Yan Mingming with a smile: "I passed, and I have signed a contract with Time and Space Music!" "Ahhh......h In front of Ye Zheng and Lin Yujia for so long, she was embarrassed to be very excited.
Now in front of his friends, he suddenly burst out: "Obviously, I have signed a contract with Time and Space Music, and now I will come back to go through the resignation procedures, and then go to the Nanjing branch of Time and Space Music!" "Really? Haha! I know that my family Yanyan is not an ordinary person! I just said, if Time and Space Music can't look down on you, it's because they don't have vision." Well, in this way, the music of time and space is still very reliable, and it is worthy of me being a fan of Ye Zheng for so long!" Yan Mingming was happy for his good sisters, and asked curiously: "But the contract was finalized so quickly, how many years has it been signed, how much is the signing fee, can you reveal it?"
"Guess what!" "Don't guess! Say it quickly!" "Five ......" Zhu Yanyan was just about to speak, when she suddenly heard a voice sound: "Yanyan, you are actually in the company? Great...... the voice of the deputy director, the two of them looked over and found that there was a man with a slightly obscene face standing next to the deputy director.
She remembered who this person was, and it was this man who wanted to sign her last year, but then he couldn't do it. Could it be ......, "Yanyan, you're done with things at home?" asked the deputy director. When Zhu Yanyan asked him for leave, she said that there was an urgent matter at home.
