Chapter 104: Prince Li

The person Lin Hai wanted to inquire about was named Wu Rujun.

If you want to say that the most successful Chinese person in the entertainment industry, it is none other than Wu Rujun.

Isn't it weird?

It's not Ouyang Feifei, it's not Teresa Teng, but a name that is somewhat unfamiliar to many Chinese people.

Tell us a little about this person.

Wu Rujun, born in Jinling in 1963, his father is the famous composer and Jinghu performer Wu Lechang, and his mother is the famous Peking Opera veteran actor Wu Fenglou.

Influenced by his parents, Wu Rujun showed a high musical talent since he was a child, and at the same time, he was also very innovative, and only two years after graduating from the Huaxia Opera Academy, he won the praise of the Ministry of Culture for his "Jinghu Light Music".

In 1987, Wu Rujun starred in the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" and played the role of Jiang Yuhan in the play. It was in this year that he met Akiko Taoshan, who traveled to China, and got married the following year, and then was invited by Ai Hui to make the decision to go to development.

Wu Rujun was originally active as a Jinghu player and a Peking Opera Hua Dan.

In 1996, he completed the first album in the history of Jinghu music, "Suite: Three Kingdoms", and later continued to explore and innovate, creating many excellent works that blend tradition and modernity. In 2002, he appeared as the only instrumentalist at A-NATION, the annual concert of A-NATION musicians of Ai Hui Records.

In the field of opera, as the director of the Peking Opera Company, he has made great contributions to the overseas promotion of Peking Opera.

Wu Rujun is no less well-known than pop stars like Ayumi Hamasaki and Namie Amuro, and his "fans" are all heavyweights.

He has often appeared at banquets held by Hon-sen, ladies, businessmen and celebrities, and many celebrities are big fans of Mr. Ng, including Prime Minister and Mrs. Hatoyama and Abe. When Wu Rujun was subjected to groundless accusations by the "Weekly Article", Mrs. Abe and former Prime Minister Hatoyama also defended him and apologized to him.

Of course, the Chinese opera industry has always criticized him, thinking that he is too capable of tossing and is a freak of the impetuous status quo of the Peking Opera market.

However......

Wu Rujun's "rebellious" innovation has won the joy of many young fans, but in China, there are fewer and fewer young people who like traditional opera, which is really thought-provoking......

……

"You are mistaken, Mr. Wu is not an artist of Ai Hui. Kwai Huiliang smiled: "He is also an artist in our office. ”

Kwai Teruliang explained that in addition to AOI, he also opened an office called JOINUS, and the two offices are affiliated companies, of which AOI is mainly responsible for film and television-related affairs, while JOINUS focuses on music and performance.

Wu Rujun is the leading artist of JOINUS.

"I see. ”

Lin Hai showed a sudden realization.

Didn't he know? No, Lin Hai knew it. The reason why he pretended to be stupid was just that he didn't want Kwai Huiliang to feel that his purpose of joining AOI was not pure.

Speaking of which, there is a little-known ambiguity between Kwai Huiliang and the old man Xi

Department, it was Wu Rujun who told Lin Hai.

Of course, that was all from the previous life.

……

"Do you have anything to do with Mr. Wu?" asked Aoi Teruliang. Then he explained: "Mr. Wu's schedule is busy, and his wife is mainly responsible for the contact with the firm, so if it is not important, it is better not to disturb him." ”

Lin Hai replied: "That's right. I had some misunderstandings with President Matsuura of Ai Hui, and I didn't know anything personally, but I didn't want to affect my friend's future. I heard that Mr. Wu and Ai Hui have a good relationship with the senior management, so I want to ask him to make peace from him. ”

"You're talking about it. Kwai Huiliang laughed: "You don't need to explain, I know what happened." By the way, what's that friend's name?"

"Ayumi Hamasaki. After Lin Hai finished speaking, he asked strangely, "Kwai Sang also heard about it?"

"It looks like you don't know yet. Aoi Huiliang turned his head and smiled and said to Akimi Oshima: "You are not competent enough as an agent." ”

Akimi Oshima was ashamed and said, "It's because I didn't do my job properly." ”

"What's going on?"

Lin Hai was confused.

Akimi Oshima explained, "Last night's incident was exposed early this morning, so I'm afraid President Matsuura won't have time to embarrass you in a short time......"

Lin Hai was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "It's exposed?"

"It's not Fuji TV. Akimi Oshima shook her head and said, "It seems that the staff secretly leaked secrets, in short, the clip of the program that was cut when it was officially broadcast was broadcast on the TV station......"

"This ......" Lin Hai was dumbfounded: "The senior management of the two TV stations must not fight?"

"Who knows, it's already going to be on TV anyway. ”

It's a mess......

It's really nice to see.

Chaotai has always wanted to drag Fujitai from the position of the boss of the private station, and it is not surprising that he would do such a thing, and it is not good that a wonderful infernal affairs was staged behind the scenes......

But whatever, the dirty water can't splash on the forest sea, but Matsuura Katsuren, hehe. Matsuura's words and deeds represent Ai Hui's face, whether he is intentional or unintentional, Ai Hui's board of directors will not let him feel better. What's more, the "anti-pine faction" has always been dissatisfied with his behavior of using public funds for private purposes, and if he is not removed from power this time, I am afraid that they will not give up.

There is no diva to stand for him this time, and other musicians are not easy to come forward, after all, when it comes to the sensitive topic of "plagiarism" in the circle, who dares to take the initiative to come forward?

……

On the way home, Oshima Xiaomei asked Lin Hai: "You asked Wu Rujun, there should be other reasons, right?"

"Hmm. ”

Lin Hai nodded and said, "I had some unpleasant ...... with President Nozaki of Yanyin today."

Lin Hai told Akimi Oshima what happened in the hospital.

Akimi Oshima was speechless.

"You're a ...... Let me say what is good? offended the three presidents in two days, looking at the entire entertainment industry, I'm afraid you are the only one who can do such a thing!"

"Otherwise, what should I do if I join Yanyin and give him a lifetime of hard labor?"

Lin Hai shook his head and said, "Matsuura."

Katsuto is too busy to take care of himself, Johnny-san won't embarrass me in Aoi-san's face, but Kenichiro Nozaki is very troublesome, this guy is domineering, and he has the Sasakawa consortium behind him, I don't find a backer for myself, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future. ”

"Why didn't you tell President Aoi?"

"Yanyin was established in 1979, and from the perspective of the founding time, the two are about the same, why is there such a big gap now?"

Lin Hai asked himself and replied: "Kwai Sang, this person, has a good character, and he also has a business mind, but he is too soft and doesn't like to fight with people, if he is on the same page with Yanyin, the biggest possibility is to sell me in turn." Don't look at Aoi-san's attitude on the issue of Matsuura, it's because he is already closer to Ita Xun, and he likes to see the fall of Matsuura. Yanyin is a family business, and there is no internal power struggle, so ......"

Lin Hai spread his hands and made a helpless gesture.

"You know that, too?"

"It's the age of the Internet, and a lot of things can be found, and of course, you have to learn to distinguish between the real and the fake. ”

"What about Wu Rujun, who has so much energy from your Chinese compatriot?"

"He has. ”

Lin Hai nodded and said: "He and the family of Yukio Hatoyama, the leader of the Democratic Party, have been friends for many years. Especially Hatoyama's wife, Hatoyama Yuki, probably because she has been a song and dance actor before, and she has a common language with Mr. Wu, so she can be called a fan sister. ”

"Uh, you said the lady who eats the sun?"

Akimi Oshima's table is weird.

Hatoyama's character can be described as a strengthened version of silly Gong.

She has publicly stated on more than one occasion that she was once abducted by aliens and went on a space trip. On the way to Venus, because she was hungry, she deliberately tore off a piece of the sun and ate it, feeling that it tasted good.

This incident was later written into a book by her, which was called "The Strange Things I Encountered".

Akimi Oshima felt that this lady was very unreliable, but it was enough to block the gun, after all, the Hatoyama family was one of the five major families in this political circle.

"The question is, why should people help?"

"yes......"

Lin Hai sighed and said, "I feel troublesome, let alone others. ”

Lin Hai didn't want Oshima Xiaomei to worry about this, so he changed the topic and said, "Speaking of which, Mr. Wu's wife is very remarkable." She was originally a mountaineer, but after marrying Mr. Wu, she turned to silently support her husband's career, and every time Mr. Wu drank water during a performance, she had to taste it first, and then hand it to him cold......

Lin Hai talked for a long time, but saw that Oshima Xiaomei had no reaction, so he said, "I'm sorry, I said something boring." ”

"No, no, I'm just thinking about things. ”

Akimi Oshima said, but thought in her heart, I know what you said, and I also know that she is twenty-one years older than him.

……

Lin Hai's plan to find a backer died before it was implemented, but as the poem said, there is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright again

Village.

The next day, as soon as Lin Hai arrived at the crew, he was informed that there were visitors.

Who will come to the crew specifically to find themselves?

Lin Hai came to an office on the second floor of Dongfang School Park in a daze, knocked on the door and walked in.

There was a man and a woman standing in the room.

The man is about thirty, with a suit pen and meticulously combed hair, and he looks like a successful person.

As soon as Lin Hai entered the door, the man greeted him with a full face, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Li Zaiyong." ”

"Nice to meet you, I'm Lin Hai. ”

Lin Hai shook hands with the other party and asked, "Is there anything Mr. Li looking for me?"

"I take the liberty of asking, is Mr. Lin Korean?"

"Sorry, I'm not. ”

After Lin Hai finished speaking, he noticed that the other party was slightly disappointed. However, this disappointment was fleeting, and the other party took out an MPman from his pocket and asked, "Mr. Lin is no stranger to it, right?"

"Of course. ”

Lin Hai asked, "Are you looking for me, could it be related to it?"

"Exactly. Lee Jae-yong said: "I saw from the TV yesterday that you had this product, so I made a special trip to meet you, and I hope to thank you in person!"

"Wait a minute...... Lin Hai said confusedly, "Could it be that you are a salesman of Saehan's company?"

"Poof!"

The girl in the back couldn't help but laugh and whispered something to Lee Jae-yong in Korean.

Lin Hai looked at the girl and found that she was very beautiful, and he didn't know if it was made up. Noticing that the other party was looking up at him, Lin Hai hurriedly looked away.

"I'm sorry. Lee Jae-yong said to Lin Hai: "It's me who didn't make it clear. I'm not a salesman, I'm the manager of the market research department of Samsung Electronics. ”

Samsung Electronics?

Lin Hai slammed a lightning bolt in his mind, recalled the other party's name, and matched the number with the person in his memory.

If you guess correctly, this Lee Jae-yong is the prince of South Korea's Samsung!

What is he looking for Lin Hai for?

"It's rude. Lin Hai asked, "I don't really understand, this," Lin Hai pointed to MPman, "This is not a Samsung product, is it?"

Lee Jae-yong said righteously: "There is no doubt that it is the crystallization of Samsung's wisdom, but it was shamelessly stolen!"

Lin Hai complained in his heart: You just talk nonsense!

Lin Hai is not only a musician, but also a music enthusiast, and he knows the origin of MPman very well. This MPman-F10 is the world's first MP3 player, and the developer did work for Samsung, but when he proposed the product idea to President Yoon Jong-ryong, not only was it not taken seriously, but it was laid off.

Of course, this pot can't be carried by Yoon Jong-ryong, you must know that he was being messed up by the mess left by the former chairman Lee Kun-hee, how can he still think about what new product development?

Hawkers, anyway, it's the Koreans' own business, and Lin Hai didn't bother to reason with him.

Lin Hai motioned for Lee Jae-yong to continue.

plum

Jae-yong asked, "Mr. Hayashi's MPman was bought from Akihabara Electric Town, right?"

Lin Hai nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Lee Jae-yong asked again: "What do you think of this product?"

Lin Hai said without hesitation: "The storage space is too small, the size is too big, the sound quality is terrible, and the price is too expensive......"

"Wait a minute. Lee Jae-yong said embarrassedly: "Isn't there an advantage?"

Lin Hai shook his head and said, "At present, whether it is compared with MD or Walkman, it is useless. ”

"This ......" Lee Jae-yong was even more embarrassed and asked, "In that case, why did you choose it?"

Lin Hai looked at his aggrieved appearance, and secretly laughed in his heart.

As he said, this MP3 is simply useless, the volume and weight are not advantageous compared to the MD, the capacity is only 32M, but the price is as high as 69 US dollars, plus it is a Korean product, so even in the Akihabara Electric Street, which is full of all kinds of novelties, there are only a handful of people who are willing to try it.

As for why Lin Hai bought it, it was because Xavier sent him digital audio, and Lin Hai didn't want to cause criticism for burning, so he bought MPman.

……

People are the prince of Samsung, and they came to express their gratitude, but it's not good to embarrass people too much.

Lin Hai woke up and said, "If you have to talk about its advantages, I think there is only one point. ”

"What?"

"Future. Lin Hai took the MPman and shook it in his hand: "The future it represents." ”

"This is it!"

Lee Jae-yong became happy and said, "That's why I came to you!"

"Huh?"

"That's right. I watched the news yesterday morning and went to Akihabara on purpose, and guess what happened?"

Lee Jae-yong said excitedly: "There are a total of 17 stores on the entire street that have bought this product, a total of 161 of them, and it only took one morning, and they were all sold out!

"Uh......"

Lin Hai became more and more surprised, he didn't expect that he would become the first person to eat crabs.

"That's why I'm thanking you. ”

Lee Jae-yong bowed to Lin Hai seriously and said: "I don't thank you because the product was sold, but thank you for making Samsung realize the mistake, we shouldn't turn away an epoch-making product, thank you very much!"

"It doesn't have to be this way, you're too polite. ”

Lin Hai was a little embarrassed by what he said, and at the same time sighed secretly, no matter how much show there was in Lee Jae-yong's actions, at least his attitude towards work was worthy of respect.

Not the prince of anyone's family can go through the merchants in Akihabara one by one in order to count a number. You must know that even if he doesn't do this, Sehan will be eager to announce the good news. Take 10,000 steps back and say, this kind of thing can be handed over to your subordinates to do!

Lin Hai looked down at the deformed John-Lobb on Lee's feet, and thought to himself that he was the manager of the market research department, not just a cover-up.

"I take your thanks. ”

Lin Hai glanced at the wall clock on the wall and said, "If nothing else, I think I should go." ”

"Please wait. ”

Lee Jae-yong said, "Actually, I have one more thing I want to ask Mr. Tollin. ”

"Call me Lin Hai, Lin, or Hai, it's okay. ”

"Okay, Lin," Lee Jae-yong said as kindly as a streamer, "I hope you can become the spokesperson of MPman, what do you think?"

"Me?"

Lin Hai pointed to his nose and said, "There are all artists who are more famous than me all over the street, even if you want to ask for a spokesperson, you should also invite Takuya Kimura, right?"

"I'll admit that Kimura is a good choice, but I'm personally more optimistic about you. Lee Jae-yong said sincerely: "You are the same as this product, younger, and the future is more worth looking forward to." And you've proven that you have what it takes to drive sales. ”

It is worthy of being a high-achieving student trained by Seoul National University, Keio University, and Harvard University, and it is pleasing to the ear when he speaks.

Lin Hai smiled and nodded, "I hope to live up to your expectations." ”

As for why it was Samsung instead of Shihan, Lin Hai didn't ask at all, believing that this prince had his own opinions, and he would never make wedding dresses for others.

Lin Hai took out Oshima Xiaomei's business card from his pocket, handed it to Lee Jae-yong, and said, "For specific matters, please contact my agent." ”

Lee Jae-yong glanced at the business card and put it away carefully.

"It's rude, the crew is still waiting for me. ”

Lin Hai nodded to Lee Jae-yong and turned to leave.

"Lin Jun!"

Before he reached the door, he suddenly heard Lee Jae-yong calling him.

Lin Hai answered, turned around, and found that Li Zaeyong's entire face was wrinkled into pickled cucumbers, as for the reason, it was actually his secretary who pinched it.

This secretary is so domineering!

Lin Hai muttered in his heart, looking at the beautiful woman with a strange expression.

The beauty found that Lin Hai was looking at herself, her face flushed, and she let go of her hand.

"Ahem......"

Lee Jae-yong coughed, pointed at the beauty embarrassedly and said, "My assistant likes your song very much and wants to ask you for an autograph." ”

"My pleasure. ”

Lin Hai walked up to the beauty and said with a smile: "I'm very glad that you like my songs, of course there is no problem with signing it." ”

The beautiful woman blushed and took out the signature pad from her backpack.

Lin Hai took out the signature pen he was carrying and said, "This is the first time I've signed someone, please don't mind if the writing is not good." ”

"Really?"

The beauty's eyes lit up and she said, "If you can, please write 'to my first fan'!"

This is the first time she has spoken loudly, her pronunciation is standard, and her voice is very good.

"No problem. ”

Lin Hai fulfilled her wish, and at the end of the writing, the pen paused and asked, "What's your name?"

"Li ......"

As soon as the beauty spoke, Li Zaiyong preemptively said: "Li Xinyu!"

Lee Jae-yong allowed the beauty to poke the instep with the heel of the high heel, and said which "Xin" and which "Yu" was without changing his face.

Lin Hai pretended to be completely unaware of the intimate interaction between the two, completed the signature with a smile, handed it to the pouting old "Li Xinyu", did not communicate too much with the woman who took away his first time, apologized again, and then left the room.
