Chapter 459: Singing a double reed
After the group of four people left the office building where Times Entertainment was located, Jay Chou followed Peng Ben to Guo Yadi's car, and Zhang Siyuan got into the Grand Cherokee.
Zhang Siyuan's current situation is only suitable for making a big Cherokee, the space of an ordinary car is relatively narrow, and Zhang Siyuan is not easy to sit in it. Otherwise, Zhang Siyuan was not ready to trouble Ye Wudao, he also knew that Ye Wudao had been following him, and he hadn't eaten at this time. As for Jay Chou, although Peng Benben came to Times Entertainment to sign the Tianwang contract for him according to Zhang Siyuan's instructions, he also had to have a large share of the sales after the record was released, so Jay Chou actually has no money now.
Otherwise, Jay Chou would not be renting a house now, or sharing a house with Fang Wenshan. It's just that he took the key when he went out today, and he hurriedly ran to the company to get the songbook in the morning, and the key was lost in the company. I didn't have free time to run back to get it in the middle, so I went back to Times Entertainment to get the keys so late.
The group soon arrived, and at that time, Li Guangzhu took Zhang Siyuan to know the small restaurant that Peng Benben and Zhang Jin came to, ordered a private room, and sat in. Originally, Zhang Siyuan wanted Ye Wudao and them to eat with them, but Ye Wudao refused, so Zhang Siyuan did not continue to insist.
After sitting in the box, Zhang Siyuan smiled and asked Jay Chou, "Jay, how is the record?"
Since Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan came to Shanghai, Peng Benben has been in charge of all Jay Chou's affairs, Zhang Siyuan has no time to care about Jay Chou because he was in the hospital and later went to Yanjing. Therefore, Zhang Siyuan is not very clear about the current recording of Jay Chou's records, and in line with the idea that Times Entertainment is basically handed over to Peng Benben for management, Zhang Siyuan has not asked Peng Benben.
I happened to meet Jay Chou today, and Zhang Siyuan felt that he should also ask about the recording of the record. Although Zhang Siyuan is very confident in Jay Chou, there are some things that still need to be asked. After all, it can be said that Jay Chou is now completely out of the orbit before Zhang Siyuan's rebirth, even if it is a good thing, Zhang Siyuan is afraid of accidents.
When Jay Chou heard Zhang Siyuan's question, he replied a little reservedly: "It's okay, basically there is no big problem." ”
For Zhang Siyuan, Jay Chou himself is grateful. When he was in Baodao, he was not selected for the draft, but was taken to his studio by Wu Zongxian. Although Wu Zongxian has some appreciation for his musical talent, he does not approve of his record. Zhang Siyuan went to Baodao to find him in person, and gave him liquidated damages for him to dig him to Times Entertainment to release a record. The contract signed for him is still the covenant of the Heavenly King, and that has to be how much confidence there is in him.
When Jay Chou was recording these days, he was a little afraid that the recording effect would not be good, and what should he do if the sales were not good and he would live up to Zhang Siyuan's trust. Yes, Jay Chou is not afraid of his own incompetence, but of living up to Zhang Siyuan's expectations. After all, since he wanted to step into the singer industry, in addition to his family, Zhang Siyuan can be said to be the person who trusts him the most.
Zhang Siyuan was not surprised when he heard Jay Chou say that it was okay, but then asked: "Then is there anything you need help with?" If there is anything you need help with, you can look for Mr. Peng or me at will." It's just that I'll be busy during this time, so if you have something, you should find Mr. Peng first. You are the company's main promoter in the first half of the year, and you can't let us down. ”
When Jay Chou heard Zhang Siyuan say this, he hesitated and said, "Mr. Zhang, we do have a question that we want you to help refer to." ”
Zhang Siyuan suddenly became interested, and according to the reason, there should be no problem for Jay Chou to record records. After all, those are professional things, and he, Fang Wenshan, and the employees in the recording studio are all professional, and there should be no problems that need to be solved by Zhang Siyuan. Then there is only life, but in life, their house is rented with the staff dormitory of Times Technology. Zhang Siyuan of that community also knew that there should be no problems.
Seeing Zhang Siyuan looking at him, Jay Chou said a little nervously: "The name of this record and Wenshan and I have not been determined until now, he wants to use "Xingqing", I want to use "Qilixiang". ”
It turned out that in order to prevent accidents, Zhang Siyuan put "Seven Miles of Fragrance" in addition to "Xingqing" as the title song of Jay Chou's first record. This results in the existence of two title songs that are comparable, and whichever one can be the title song or the record name. It's just that Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan have different opinions, one wants to use "Xingqing", and the other wants to use "Qilixiang".
Zhang Siyuan thought it was a problem, but he didn't expect it to be the name of the record, so after thinking about it, he said: ""Xingqing" and "Qilixiang" are not used, "Jay" is used. If I'm not mistaken, your English name is Jay. As a newcomer to the company's first half of the year, then the first record is your debut work. It has to be branded as personal to you, and it is uniquely yours. Even if someone else sings your song, it can make your name come to mind for the first time when they listen to the song, just use Jay, what do you think?"
Zhang Siyuan can't remember what the name of Zhang Siyuan's first record was, but he thinks that the most suitable name for Jay Chou's first record is this. In Zhang Siyuan's impression, Jay Chou has an album with his own name, and an album with the name of his mother Ye Huimei. Zhang Siyuan naturally doesn't want to change Jay Chou too much, or develop according to what already existed before his rebirth.
When Jay Chou heard Zhang Siyuan say this, his heart was hot. Although he knew that Zhang Siyuan was very optimistic about him, and the company was also praising him, Jay Chou didn't expect that even taking the album name Zhang Siyuan was for his sake. This also made Jay Chou even more grateful to Zhang Siyuan, and he also thought that he would repay Zhang Siyuan if he was really popular in the future.
Zhang Siyuan looked at Jay Chou's expression and knew that Jay Chou had no opinion, so he continued to ask: "Is there anything else you need help with?" Is there anything you are not used to living in Shanghai, such as where to live?"
"No, it's a good place to stay. It's close to the company, and it's not small. Jay Chou hurriedly replied.
Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan's dormitory is a two-bedroom and two-living room house, although the decoration is not very good, but there should be. It is not much different from ordinary families, and Jay Chou does not need to pay for it, so Jay Chou naturally does not feel bad.
Peng Benben interjected on the side at this time: "Oh, what is there to ask about this." Am I going to treat my people badly? Don't worry, I've arranged Jay's life, and there's no problem. It's not that you don't know how many problems I can't solve in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. ”
Hearing Peng Benben's words, Zhang Siyuan glanced at Peng Benben. I am buying people's hearts, and the effect of Peng Benben's gag is different. It's just that what Peng Benben said also makes sense, there is Peng Benben in Shanghai, and Jay Chou and they really don't have anything to do.
When Guo Yadi heard Peng Benben speak, he knew that the conversation between Zhang Siyuan and the person named Jay Chou in front of him was almost over, and he also opened his mouth: "Siyuan, this is the new person your company is going to praise next?"
"yes, it's nice to sing, no worse than Eason. Zhang Siyuan replied.
Guo Yadi asked with some disbelief, "Really?"
The reason why Zhang Siyuan said this is because since Eason released the record "Ten Years", Guo Yadi has become a fan of Eason. Although I can't talk about brainless fans, I still like Eason as a person. When I was fine, I often came to Times Entertainment to find Peng Benben and take a look at Eason by the way.
Looking at Guo Yadi's disbelieving look, Zhang Siyuan teased: "It's really fake, won't you know when Jay's record comes out?" I estimate that the sales of Jay's first record may be higher than the sales of "Ten Years". ”
"Really, as far as I know, a newcomer and a new record like Eason can achieve that kind of sales before, if Jay's record is higher than Eason's, won't it break another record at that time?" Guo Yadi was surprised.
can't blame Guo Yadi for being surprised, after all, the sales of "Ten Years" have already broken many records in the Chinese music industry. If "Jay" sells more than "Ten Years", it will be a miracle. It's not that it's impossible to have a record that sells more than "Ten Years", it's just that they are all newcomers and a company, and it's a miracle in anyone's eyes that this situation has happened for two consecutive years.
Zhang Siyuan pointed to himself and said with a smile: "Who am I? I am Zhang Siyuan, the maker of miracles! Before the advent of Times Technology, who would have thought that Times Technology would have such a large scale." Before Sohu was not listed, the songs were written by me, and people were not so popular if I didn't find them myself. Jay's song was written by me, and the person I picked out myself, if it can't be popular, then don't I slap myself in the face? I can't write my own song, the person I pick is not as good as the person picked by others. Jay, you have to record the song well, you can't let me slap myself in the face. ”
"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely record the songs well, record each song in the best condition, and I won't let you down. Jay Chou heard Zhang Siyuan's words and hurriedly said.
Jay Chou didn't expect that Eason was not the person personally picked by Zhang Siyuan, so if he sang a song of the same quality as Eason, who was also a newcomer like himself, it would mean that Zhang Siyuan's vision was not good. For Jay Chou, this is absolutely impossible, after all, his gratitude to Zhang Siyuan is sincere.
Seeing Jay Chou's appearance, Zhang Siyuan and Guo Yadi glanced at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes, and then quickly made a mistake. Obviously, the two of them are singing a double reed to Jay Chou, so that Jay Chou knows that Zhang Siyuan is optimistic about him, so he can work hard. I have to say that the immature Jay Chou, compared with Guo Yadi and Zhang Siyuan, is still far behind.
