At night, the office of the general manager of Polygram Records is brightly lit. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zheng Donghan paced in the office with his hands behind his back, while listening carefully to Guan Weilin's account of the day's negotiations.

"He is only willing to sign for one year, three years, and he is not willing to accept it?" Zheng Donghan pinched his chin, thoughtful. That kid didn't look like a fuel-efficient lamp last time, and it wasn't surprising that he didn't reach an agreement right away this time, but the poor boy didn't bargain over the signing money, but was obsessed with the number of years of the contract, which was really unexpected to him!

"Yes, and I feel that he is very resolute on this issue!" Guan Weilin said with a helpless sigh.

"Boss, you don't know, that guy is really a freak! At that time, Da Lala's huge amount of 500,000 yuan in cash was in front of him, and his two brothers' eyes were about to bulge out! And he, as if he was not attractive at all, he was stunned and returned the money without blinking his eyes!" Zhong Yihao was sullen in the morning, and then vomited bitterness.

"Can't impress him with money?" Zheng Donghan thought about this question.

Zhong Yihao said angrily: "I have come into contact with so many newcomers, and as soon as others hear about us Polygram, they are all vying to sign a contract with us, and I have never seen a newcomer as a big name like him! Look at the conditions he proposed, what kind of activities planned by the company, and ask for his consent in advance?"

"We don't need to hold him up, he has already fried himself to become popular! He is a big name!" Zheng Donghan sighed, "He can sing and create a lot, isn't he a big name?"

"Uh......" Zhong Yihao choked, a little-known newcomer in the mainland, it was difficult for him to treat him as a real big-name star subconsciously. He was still indignant and said: "I really don't understand, how much is the difference between one year and three years? Could it be that in one year, the conditions of other record companies will be better than ours? The conditions we have come up with are already good enough, and he is not satisfied!"

"But I think compared to other companies, he is still very interested in us Polygram, but I don't know how to dispel his concerns? Signing for three years is already the minimum requirement, can't we really sign for one year? In that case, wouldn't we be making wedding dresses for others? No, no!"

Guan Weilin sat on the office chair, spit out a smoke ring, and analyzed with some distress. It was the first time he had met such a newcomer to the industry, and he loved freedom more than money! However, he also understood the temperament of musicians, and the more talented people were, the more different they were.

Zheng Donghan paced back and forth.

"Guan Zhengjie went to Kangyi Chengyin, Xu Guanjie is also going to Kangyi Chengyin, this local company is very ambitious! Huaxing Company has made an appointment with him despite being ugly in the media, and it is still under his skin today, which shows that they are not dead. ”

"The rise of local record companies, especially Huaxing, they have a strong TVB media as the backstage, the rookie singing contest held last year was very successful, according to this trend, potential newcomer resources will continue to be monopolized by Huaxing!

"We have lost two generals this year, and the loss is huge! We must replenish new blood as soon as possible to ensure the long-term development of PolyGram. Aaron's current upward momentum is good, there are many songs that have won awards, and new songs have won the weekly champion of the Chinese song Dragon and Tiger Chart, but he is the only pillar in the younger generation, which is not enough!"

"Now, the emergence of Cheng Weiliang is another opportunity for us, we can make him a 'Polygram Gemini Constellation' that goes hand in hand with Alun, and the two of them, one focuses on the Cantonese market and the other focuses on the Chinese song market. On Taiwan Island and Nanyang side, the Chinese song market is very large. It can be said that with him, we can cope with the strong challenges of other companies!"

"With him, we can ensure the long-term prosperity of Polygram! On the other hand, if other companies get him, the threat to us is self-evident! We can't afford to lose more than other companies!" Zheng Donghan paced and told his thoughts.

Guan Weilin was taken aback, "Mr. Zheng, you don't really want to agree to his conditions, do you? If you only sign for one year, what will we do after one year? Let other companies get him, aren't we cultivating a strong competitor for ourselves?"

Zheng Donghan said: "He has already made himself popular, even if we only sign him for one year, we will still have to make money! And as long as we sign the contract, are we afraid that we will not have a chance to convince him in the future?"

"I received a grapevine in the evening, a small local company, planning to spend 1 million in the past, to cut off from our large companies! Small companies are not willing to be lonely, can you still say that the conditions offered by Polygram are the most generous?" Zheng Donghan looked at the two right-hand men with bright eyes.

Guan Weilin pondered for a while, and said slowly: "500,000 can't impress him, and 1 million may not be effective! The strength of a small company is poor, and the resources and channels are not as good as ours. As long as Cheng Weiliang has ambitions and wants to go further and fly higher in the music world, he will never be short-sighted to join a small company for money. ”

Zhong Yihao thought about it on the side, but he was still unwilling, so he suggested: "Boss, it's better to dry him for a few days, the date for repaying the debt is approaching, and he should be in a hurry if he can't raise money." We can increase the signing fee, as long as our company is always one step ahead of other competitors, we are not afraid that he will not ask to sign a contract with us. ”

"Okay, just do as you say. General Manager Zheng looked at them and finally nodded. Although he will not lose money if he only signs a company for one year, the capitalist always pursues the maximization of profits, and is forced to agree to make concessions by a little hairy child, and it will be rumored that he, a big man in the industry, will lose face.

At this time, Zheng Donghan turned the TV to the Asian video channel, and the program announced that the interview show of the mysterious singer Cheng Weiliang on Temple Street was about to be broadcast.

All four in the office turned their attention to the TV, wondering what information Cheng Weiliang would reveal on the TV show.

……

The background of the show is in Cheng Weiliang's wooden house, where Cheng Weiliang and female reporter Chen Shulan sit face-to-face and have a Q&A. I saw that the two of them exchanged a few words on the TV first, and soon entered the main topic that the audience cared about. Cheng Weiliang sat on the back chair and talked eloquently, he first introduced himself simply.

Chen Shulan: ...... Without further ado, let me ask you a question that the audience would love to know. Why do you choose to sing at Tin Hau Temple Square instead of at nightclubs, dance halls and other venues?

Cheng Weiliang: I have written a song, and I like to share it with more people. The more fans recognize, the happier I will be, and intimate places like nightclubs can only sing to a small number of people.

Chen Shulan: What happened that night and why did you disappear for three days?

Cheng Weiliang: It's not the disappearance reported in the media, it's just that there are some personal matters to deal with, and you need to leave the fans for a while. I actually had a skirmish with some people that night, but nothing special happened after that.

Chen Shulan: So, why are the policewomen chasing you?

Cheng Weiliang: I don't know, but it should be that the Xiangjiang police are very conscientious in maintaining law and order, after all, there was a conflict at that time.

Chen Shulan: Mind if I ask you a more gossipy question? It is rumored that you and Officer Li are boyfriend and girlfriend, and she doesn't like you to sing on Temple Street, and the audience is very curious, Brother Sunglasses, can you tell everyone?

Cheng Weiliang: (laughs) I understand everyone's gossip very well, I am a man, I have thick skin and thick meat, and I will laugh at what the media says. But I'm still saying a word for the innocent female police officer, in fact, I don't have anything to do with her.

Chen Shulan: (laughs) Okay, after the gossip, let's get down to business. It is rumored that those 20 new Chinese songs were all composed by you, is it true?

Cheng Weiliang: Yes, I "wrote" these songs. Strictly speaking, I didn't study music with anyone, but I was nurtured by my mother, who was a middle school music teacher. When I grew up, I loved listening to pop music from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Europe and the United States.

Chen Shulan: Ah! It turns out that there is a family relationship. Some of your songs are highly regarded by local music professionals, and some people in the media have called you a musical genius, what do you think of yourself and your musical work?

Cheng Weiliang: It's too ridiculous, I'm just a music lover, I really don't dare to be called a "musical genius"! But when it comes to composing, I do need some shining inspiration. Sometimes, when inspiration comes, it only takes a day or two to create a song, but sometimes you can't make a satisfactory piece after holding it for a month or two!

Sometimes I occasionally touch something or someone, but suddenly I have a flash of inspiration, my mind is full of jumping melodies, and a song is waved in an instant!

I have been influenced by traditional Chinese music since I was a child, and when I grew up, I was influenced by a variety of foreign music styles, and the styles of my works are not uniform and very diverse. Finally, I hope to exchange creative ideas with my colleagues in Hong Kong, and strive to write more popular music works in the future.

Chen Shulan: Did Hong Kong inspire you, and are there any songs you wrote in Hong Kong?

Cheng Weiliang: Yes, Hong Kong is very different from my hometown, and the difference in social environment usually inspires my creation. Several songs were written in Xiangjiang, such as this "Later", which was written by a 30-year-old woman on the beach, telling about her breaking up with her first boyfriend because of some things in middle school, and still missing the beauty of the beginning many years later. She was very sentimental, and I suddenly wrote their story into a song.

There is also "The Myth of the Stars and the Moon", I have read a strange story "Qin Warriors" by a female writer in Xiangjiang, and once in the flow of people on the street, I passed a woman in white who was as quiet and elegant as an ancient lady, I thought of the story in "Qin Warriors", and at that time I suddenly had the urge to write a song in my mind.

Imagine a pair of infatuated men and women in their previous lives, who loved each other but couldn't stay together, died of martyrdom together, time passed a thousand years, reincarnated men and women, met on the crowded streets, would they still recognize each other's voices and smiles? Will they remember the scene of the first meeting in their previous life? Think about it, this seems to be a very romantic and worthwhile story, so I wrote this imaginary romantic story into a song.

Chen Shulan: (clapping) Wow, it turns out that an excellent song is obtained like this, Brother Sunglasses, you are so talented. The lyrics of these songs seem to be from a female point of view, and I heard that they are very popular with female fans? I myself really like two songs that are slightly sad. (laughs)

Cheng Weiliang: The story in the lyrics is indeed told from a female perspective, but in order to adapt to my singing, some of the lyrics were slightly changed. In the future, when I find a suitable female singer to sing, I will change the lyrics back to the original.

Chen Shulan: So, Brother Sunglasses, do you plan to license these two songs to female singers? The musicians in front of the TV, have you all heard them? If you are interested, please contact us Brother Sunglasses, and you will not wait for the expiration date!
