Chapter 115: The Head of the Family
Comrade Xiaoping once said that the erection of the Shenzhen International Trade Building is a myth in itself. "Because it once created a term at the speed of one floor in three days - Shenzhen speed.
Considering that he started construction in 1982, this pace of construction is a myth, and within a decade of its completion, the crown of China's tallest building belonged to it.
Hu Yiting stepped on the revolving restaurant on the 49th floor of the International Trade Building, looking at the entire Special Economic Zone, and couldn't help but have a sense of "I don't know what year it is".
A careful look reveals that many landmark buildings in Shenzhen have not yet been built, and the whole city is still growing rapidly along the east-west Shennan Avenue.
Soon, the manager of the publishing house and others also rushed to the banquet, and among the three people accompanying him, there was also Li Gang, whom Hu Yiting had seen before, and everyone shook hands and sat down.
Because I have learned from Kong Jing that this meal is Hu Yiting's treat, after seeing Hu Yiting order a table of expensive seafood and red wine, the publishing house is in a happy mood, and the general manager Dong Shouye feels that Hu Yiting is full of sincerity, after all, this table plus wine is estimated to cost three or four thousand, which is considered a very high consumption in 95 years.
Although Bai Ping didn't see Hu Yiting's Ć la carte menu, she didn't know the price, and she could see that this table was expensive, but she felt that it would be good to let Hu Yiting and Tong Mu have face, anyway, they didn't eat like this every day.
According to domestic practice, the round and huge crystal red wine glass has experienced several toasts as soon as it comes up, and the three bottles of red wine are sold out immediately.
During the conversation, everyone became acquainted, and heard Bai Ping say that Hu Yiting had opened an electronics company by himself, so everyone congratulated him on his youth and promisingness.
Hu Yiting knew that this was just a social talk on the scene, everyone still just regarded themselves as a young songwriter, and a new star like him has always risen and sunk quickly in China. Cultural and creative workers without intellectual property protection are just fast food to be consumed in this society, and they will disappear after a few years of no new works.
Dong Shouye, general manager of Shenzhen Audio-visual Publishing Company, looked at Hu Yiting with a puzzled expression and said: "I always feel that I have seen you Hu Yiting somewhere before, it feels too familiar, the face is familiar, and the name is also familiar."
Hu Yiting smiled silently, he knew that all the people here were practitioners in the cultural or entertainment industry, and even if they occasionally saw their photos and news in the newspaper, they probably wouldn't think that they were the prodigy who solved mathematical conjectures.
Kong Jing was in high spirits after drinking two glasses of wine, and raised his glass and said: "I mention yƬ, let's toast to Tong Mu's five platinum sales!
Manager Dong stood up in response: "Yes, also cheers to Hu Yiting's genius lyrics and songs, I like the song "Longing" the most! The melody is beautiful, the artistic conception is extraordinary, and it is amazing!"
Everyone got up, laughed from the bottom of their hearts, and raised their glasses.
After Manager Dong sat down, he said happily: "Hu Yiting, don't worry, I will put my words here today, in the future, your lyrics and songs will not have to be rigidly calculated according to the remuneration level, the first-class remuneration and the second class remuneration are not applicable to you, and in the future, your works will be counted according to the quality, and the price of one song will be one, but it will never be lower than the 900 yuan of the first-class remuneration!"
Hu Yiting said with a smile: "I sincerely thank Manager Dong for taking care of me personally, but the horizontal and vertical is to write songs for Tong Mu, and I don't care about two more or less." But I really feel Manager Dong's intentions, and I salute you for this glass of wine!"
Kong Jing smiled: "That's right, anyway, you are all a family." ā
Li Gang smiled stupidly: "In fact, the first-class remuneration is not small, when I first came to Shenzhen to support the construction, the basic salary was 300, and the regional difference was 500, which was less than the price of a lyric for the first-class manuscript." ā
Tang Zhenpin, the accountant of the publishing house, was a fat girl who was less than thirty, and she said: "Can that be the same? Don't say a month, I'll give you a year, can you write such a good song?"
Li Gang smirked and shook his head again and again: "I'll punish myself with a drink, see me say such brainless words, hahaha." ā
Just as there was a staggered plan here, several people next to him looked at each other.
I just listened to them talking in a whisper in Cantonese.
"That's Tong Mu, right? Her album "Life with You" is already five platinum?"
"Yes, she is the hottest female singer in the mainland recently, Andy's new compilation and Jacky's "Allergy World", the combined sales of the two albums have not surpassed her, so amazing!"
"Wow, it's so beautiful to see a real person today, it's much more beautiful than the album photos!"
"That pretty boy looks so small, is it really Hu Yiting, a lyricist and composer?"
"Is it really Hu Yiting? He's so talented! I watched Tong Mu's entire album, and he wrote the lyrics and music!"
"Did you hear that? His lyrics and songs only sell for 900 yuan?"
"It's dollars, isn't it?
"Where will the mainland use US dollars, the prices here are so low, it must be RMB. ā
"Wow, it's so cheap! That kind of golden song sells for 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, and some people break their heads to grab it. ā
After a few people talked excitedly, one of the men wearing sunglasses took off his sunglasses, got up with a chubby man with gold wire rim eyes next to him, and walked over to greet Hu Yiting: "Hello, are you Mr. Hu Yiting?"
The audience was shocked, and many people recognized the man when he approached.
Of course, Hu Yiting also recognized this mustache: "Hello, you are Lin Zixiang?"
Lin Zixiang smiled and said in broken Chinese: "I was eating next to my friends, and when I heard you talking, I wanted to come over and say hello." ā
The fat man next to Lin Zixiang smiled: "I am Brother Xiang's agent Liu Anli." ā
was very excited to meet the evergreen Lin Zixiang in the music world, so they gave up their seats and asked Lin Zixiang to sit down.
During the conversation, it was learned that Lin Zixiang came to Shenzhen to hold a concert, a total of two, the day after tomorrow was the last one, and the venue was also at the Shenzhen Grand Theater.
Hu Yiting thought about it, Lin Zixiang's status in the Hong Kong music scene is as famous as Alan Tam and others, and he has the grace of the Four Heavenly Kings, so it doesn't hurt to get to know him.
"I saw your poster at the Grand Theater, I didn't expect to see you today, it's an honor, I like your boy to be self-reliant. ā
Lin Zixiang said with a smile: "I sing Cantonese songs, you are from the north, right? I listen to your accent, it seems that you are not native to Shenzhen." ā
Manager Dong Shouye said with a smile: "Shenzhen locals are scarce, and people here are from all over the world. ā
Lin Zixiang smiled and nodded: "I won't tell you, Hu Yiting, I want to ask you to write a song for me, don't worry about the price, I will never treat you badly." ā
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the table was silent, and Manager Dong Shouye's mouth was bitter, knowing that the remuneration in Hong Kong would definitely not be comparable to their Shenzhen Audio-visual Publishing House!
Kong Jing also lowered his head in embarrassment, saying in his heart that these Hong Kong people are so desperate that they actually poached people in person! This is not easy to do!
Who knew that Hu Yiting smiled brightly and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Lin Zixiang, I only write songs for Tong Mu." Because only she can understand what I'm singing. ā
Tong Mu's face was red, but his heart was very warm.
She knew that Hu Yiting was indeed not lying, Hu Yiting's music level was completely amateurish, and the simple scores were all taught by herself, and she had to hum every tune by him, and play it over and over again until Hu Yiting was satisfied.
Lin Zixiang looked a little disappointed, he didn't expect that he would go out in person, but he was rejected by the other party.
Everyone in the Shenzhen Audio-visual Publishing House was happy, Kong Jing was very happy, and thought: "Hu Yiting really didn't lie to me, he really only wrote songs for Tong Mu!"
"This kid really has a character! He deserves to be a man from the north!"
Lin Zixiang's agent Liu Anli felt that Hu Yiting was too young, and he didn't know the price, so he hurriedly said:
"Hu Yiting, don't be in a hurry to refuse, our brother Xiang is very sincere, as long as it can reach the level of the album "Life with You", we will pay 50,000 Hong Kong dollars for each song!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole house was silent again.
50,000 Hong Kong dollars! According to the exchange rate, one Hong Kong dollar is exchanged to 0.8 yuan, which is 40,000 yuan! According to the first-class remuneration, Hu Yiting wrote a lyric song that adds up to only 1,800, and 40,000 yuan can buy 22 songs, and there is still a surplus!
Manager Dong Shouye sighed in his heart, there is a lot of money to kill people, such a temptation, even if Hu Yiting turns his face, he can't blame others, the gap between the financial resources of the two sides is too big, and his company can't compare with others!
Kong Jing didn't dare to persuade him, knowing in his heart that if he changed himself, he would definitely tear his face and agree.
At this time, Hu Yiting smiled:
"I didn't write songs for money. ā
He explained: "In short, the songs I have written, unless the child pastor is unwilling to sing them, then they can be authorized to be sung by others. ā
Lin Zixiang is also a lover, his ex-wife was originally the general manager of the Hong Kong branch of Warner Records, in 95 years, in order to marry Ye Qianwen, he did not hesitate to exchange for a free body at the cost of 35 million Hong Kong dollars in compensation, terminated the contract with Warner, and divorced the original partner at the same time, and married Ye Qianwen.
Hearing Hu Yiting say this, Lin Zixiang immediately understood Hu Yiting's sincerity to Tong Mu.
He said appreciatively: "The little brother is really true temperament, he is a good man, and I can hear your feelings for Tong Mu as an outsider." ā
"That's it, in the future, as long as you have a good song, but it's not suitable for girls to sing, just give it to me, I will definitely buy it!"
The agent Liu Anli thought about it and whispered in Lin Zixiang's ear, Lin Zixiang nodded slightly and said:
"Tong Mu's "Life with You" album, I like all eight songs, since Tong Mu has already sung it, Hu Yiting, can you authorize me?"
At this point, he paused in his tone, and finally made a decision: "All of them, 20,000 Hong Kong dollars each! But I also want you to grant me the right to adapt the Cantonese version." ā
Hu Yiting didn't think about it, and looked directly at Tong Mu: "What do you mean, Tong Mu?"
Tong Mu was asked by Hu Yiting, and was a little overwhelmed: "Hu Yiting, you can take an idea." After finishing speaking, he subconsciously objected to his decision, and looked at the white tablecloth in front of him with some disappointment.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Anli was overjoyed, and everyone thought that Hu Yiting would definitely agree, after all, Tong Mu did not object.
I saw Hu Yiting nodded: "Okay, then I want to say I don't agree." ā
Lin Zixiang was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Why?"
Hu Yiting said: "There is no reason, these songs are my gift to Tong Mu, now is the initial stage of her development, for the future of Tong Mu, I can't authorize." ā
Liu Anli frowned and said, "Then what if Miss Tong Mu agrees?"
Hu Yiting bared his teeth and smiled: "I am the head of the family, I took the idea, what is the use of her promise?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
When Tong Mu heard this, his face turned red, but he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, smiling and holding his head high, looking out the window at the thick night.
The sky is full of stars, and the bright starlight is perfectly dotted in the black night sky, reflecting the bright moon, warm and quiet.
