Chapter 199

(To be repaired.) Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info three days off, come back and start updating)

Cheng Weiliang had just walked to the exit of the square, and before he had reached the agreed place to meet the fine mark, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, in his thirties, and his forehead hair was a little semi-bald.

He walks firmly and calmly, and his appearance is quite personable, and at first glance he is a successful person with a good life.

The middle-aged man came to Cheng Weiliang's side, stretched out his right hand to him, and introduced himself: "Mr. Sunglasses, hello! My name is Zhong Yihao, and I am in charge of artist discovery at Polygram Records, and you can also understand Cheng as a talent scout." ”

"Mr. Zhong, hello, I don't know what you are looking for me, what are you doing?" Cheng Weiliang smiled and stretched out his hand and shook it with the other party. Polygram: The most powerful record company in Hong Kong today! Cheng Weiliang really didn't expect to catch a big fish so quickly. It is worthy of being a big company that dominated the Xiangjiang record industry in the 708090s, and it is so sensitive to a little person like himself!

In the past two days, at most, people from the surrounding nightclubs and dance halls have come to the door, and there has been no movement from professional record companies. Cheng Weiliang estimates that it will take a few days for his songs to spread through the word of mouth of hundreds of fans, and the word of mouth will spread layer by layer, before any record company will start to contact him. Unexpectedly, the first visitor turned out to be the industry's premier Polygram Records, and it came so quickly!

Seeing that the other party did not report his name, Zhong Yihao frowned secretly, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, how strong Polygram Records is, the other party is a little newcomer who has been reduced to singing in a place like Temple Street, and he is not worried about whether this trip is successful.

Zhong Yihao said: "This is not the place to talk, I have already booked a nearby café, it is better to move over there, and we will talk carefully." ”

Cheng Weiliang nodded, although the other party said politely, but he had already booked his own seat, and he didn't need to refuse.

The two of them came to the elegant elegant dining room of a nearby high-end tea restaurant.

Zhong Yihao took advantage of the waiter's various high-end refreshments to secretly observe Cheng Weiliang. I found that the other party did not feel restrained in this elegant environment, and did not change his face at the high price on the menu when he ordered, as if everything was normal.

Zhong Yihao deliberately chose this high-end tea restaurant to test the origin and identity of this singer. In his experience, most of the people who have always lived at the bottom will behave a little restrained and nervous when they suddenly reach such a high-level environment, and it is relatively easy to trap them.

Cheng Weiliang's performance made Zhong Yihao a little unsure of the other party's background. If the other party was born in a wealthy family or originally had a decent job, then he has such good music works and a good voice, it is not difficult to join a record company, why would he be reduced to a ninth-rate place like Temple Street to perform arts?

If he is from the bottom, then his casual and calm attitude just now shows that his psychological quality is very good, and such a person is not easy to talk about.

The two ate some snacks, and Cheng Weiliang didn't consume them with each other, so he spoke first: "Mr. Zhong, can you tell me your intentions now?" ”

"Brother Sunglasses, I believe you are so smart that you should be able to guess my intentions. Zhong Yihao wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue and said, "Yes, I am from a record company, and I have observed that among the songs you sing, there are a few that are still good." One of them is called "", right? This kind of rock style song, although the mainstream listeners in Hong Kong may not be very disappointed, but you have two songs that I still admire very much. ”

"You sing in a place like Temple Street, after all, it's not a long-term solution. Are you interested in joining our company and becoming a full-fledged singer? I also want to know more about you and the specific situation of the song. Zhong Yihao folded his hands and put them in front of the table, looking at Cheng Weiliang opposite with blazing eyes. His demeanor was relaxed and composed, as if he would be interested in his invitation.

Just a few songs are good? I only appreciate two songs very much? hehe, try to suppress the goods of interest as much as possible, this kind of business negotiation trick, I know!

Cheng Weiliang smiled and said: "I haven't been in a record company, I heard that there are many rules, and it takes several years to sign a contract." I'm a person who likes to be free, and I'm singing happily on Temple Street at the moment, and there are a lot of fans there who support me. ”

Zhong Yihao frowned when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Every company has rules, and there are no rules. Being young is the time to struggle, so you have to think carefully and don't waste your musical talent. Young people, our Polygram's strength is one of the best in Xiangjiang, and good opportunities are not available at any time!"

"If that's what Mr. Chung is trying to do today, then let's end our conversation. Sorry, I'm not planning to join a professional record label at this time. I'm going to rush to another field, and I'm leaving!" After speaking, Cheng Weiliang picked up the guitar, stood up and made a farewell gesture, and walked away without hesitation.

"Hey, hey!" Seeing that Cheng Weiliang didn't deliberately manipulate the conditions, but really wanted to leave, Zhong Yihao finally got anxious, got up and shouted at Cheng Weiliang's back: "Young man, you think about it carefully, join Polygram, I guarantee that you have a bright future! Stay in a place like Temple Street, what are your benefits! In addition, can you tell who the author of those songs is, we want to talk to him." ”

Cheng Weiliang paused and turned around, Zhong Yihao thought he had listened to what he said, and hurried to catch up. Unexpectedly, Cheng Weiliang thought for a while, and finally shook his head at him.

"Wait!" Zhong Yihao took out a business card from his suit, stuffed it into Cheng Weiliang's hand, and said, "This is my business card, you take it first." Go back and discuss it with your parents or relatives and friends, this is a major matter related to your future and fate, and you can't be hasty! ”

Cheng Weiliang smiled, noncommittal, and turned to leave.

Zhong Yihao shook his head behind his back and muttered to himself: "This young man, how can he clearly put a great opportunity in front of him, and he doesn't seem to be tempted at all? In these years, there are still people who don't want to be big singers and make a lot of money? Songwriter, you don't say that our company can still find out." ”

Walking out of the tea restaurant with firm steps, his hands in his trouser pockets, walking along the street, the meeting just now reminded Cheng Weiliang of a meeting three days ago. It was also around here, and it was also after he finished singing that someone stopped him.

That day, I found a snack shop on the street, and the two sat down to talk.

"Brother Sunglasses' nickname is also interesting! Young man, you are lucky, tell you, I have a crush on you! This is my business card!" A middle-aged man with oily hair and a pink face and wearing a copycat Casio watch handed Cheng Weiliang a golden business card as soon as he sat down, with a condescending gesture in his words.

Huanyu Performing Arts Agency, Jin Canrong? Cheng Weiliang took the business card and looked at it, the corners of his mouth curled, the company's name was very atmospheric, but unfortunately he had never heard of it.

"Someone told me that there was a good pop singer on Temple Street, I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it, you really have some qualifications, and you sing well! You signed this draft agreement first, and I will take you to the company tomorrow to sign a formal contract. While eating noodles, the middle-aged man took out a thin agreement from his document bag and pushed it in front of Cheng Weiliang.

Said proudly: "Tomorrow you don't have to go to a low-end place like Temple Street, our company has a wide range of contacts and strong strength, and is responsible for cultivating promising newcomers." After signing the contract, we will recommend you to go to a high-end hotel or nightclub to sing, where you can earn at least five or six hundred yuan a night. When you accumulate a certain level of popularity, the company will release a record for you!"

The middle-aged man didn't wait for Cheng Weiliang to finish reading the agreement, and said to himself, "Oh yes, why do you always wear sunglasses, your appearance won't be flawed, right? Also, which composer wrote these songs you sang? I haven't heard them in Xiangjiang." Are you from Taiwan, or are you from Singapore, Malaysia, or the Philippines?"

Cheng Weiliang put down the agreement, returned it to the middle-aged man, and said calmly: "Mr. Jin, I'm sorry, I won't join your company." ”

"Tell me, what conditions are not satisfied, do you think our commission percentage is too high? But you know, without the support of the company, you will not have the opportunity to go to that kind of high-end place to make money?" Mr. Jin frowned in dissatisfaction.

"I prefer to be free and can't stand the constraints. So, let's have a chance to cooperate again in the future, goodbye!" Cheng Weiliang got up and left. There is no need for a company with this kind of qualification to continue to contact.

"Hey, hey, you have to think about it carefully!" Mr. Jin wanted to keep keeping people, but Cheng Weiliang kept taking steps, and Mr. Jin was so angry that he scolded behind his back: "If you want to be free, you will stay in this shabby place on Temple Street forever and sing!

Looking back at the tea restaurant behind him, Cheng Weiliang took out his business card and glanced at it, "Even if it's Polygram Company, when did you lower your lofty attitude, let's talk about it again." ”

……

After leaving the tea restaurant, Cheng Weiliang came to the small street shop that he had agreed with the fine label and saw the fine label waiting there.

Cheng Weiliang solemnly instructed, "Fine standard, starting tomorrow, you go to implement the second step plan." In the past two days, you have found a group of reliable people, and asked them to make phone calls and write letters to major newspapers and periodicals, radio and television stations, and pretend to be fans and informants to break the news to those media. "The time is ripe for the next step, and with 13 days to go, he has to hurry.

Xibiao nodded heavily, "Brother Liang, don't worry, Brother Ming is well-connected, with him to help me, I have already started secretly contacting people two days earlier." As long as you have money, make phone calls, write letters, and preach to the people around you, for those people, the money is too easy to take!"

Cheng Weiliang nodded, "Although this matter is simple, it is very important to us!"

The fine mark reassured: "Understand, I will definitely do it!"

"By the way, good news for you. In the past two days, according to my observations, there are some students who are holding tape recorders to record your songs. Fine Mark's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Does this mean that they looked for video stores, but they couldn't find the records and cassettes of those songs, so they had to record them themselves?"

Cheng Weiliang patted the thin mark on the shoulder, and praised with a smile: "Not bad, you know how to analyze and logical reasoning this time!"

Xibiao smirked embarrassedly, suddenly remembered something, and grabbed Cheng Weiliang's arm excitedly, "Also, Brother Liang, I also heard a radio in the afternoon." A delicate girl called into the show, cried and told the story of her and her boyfriend, and finally said that she wanted a song called "" to give her boyfriend who had broken up for a year, hoping to reunite after breaking the mirror. ”

"What did you guess later? Haha, that DJ said, there is no song with this title, miss, are you mistaken?"

The girl sang a song on the spot and insisted that there was this song. He also said that the lyrics were: Later, I finally learned how to love. It's a pity that you have long since disappeared into the sea of people...... Gardenia, uh, what's white? White ......" carefully marked the girl's voice, and described the situation to Cheng Weiliang in a colorful voice.

"Gardenias, white petals, fall on your blue pleated skirt. Cheng Weiliang smiled and picked up the lyrics.

The fine mark chick pecked the rice and nodded: "Yes, yes, that's the lyrics." The girl insisted that the song was called ", and that she had heard a singer sing it when she went to the beach last night to relax. insisted that it was DJ's sister who perfunctory her and refused to help her find a song. ”

The girl also said that she liked the song so much, especially the lyrics, which literally told the story of her and her boyfriend. If you can't find that song today, and you can't order a song to give it to her boyfriend on his birthday, it's God's will, and she and her boyfriend are destined to die in this life! ”

"In the end, the DJ said that after looking through the music library, he couldn't find the song you described. The girl cried to death, and after the connection was disconnected, many female listeners called in one after another, scolding the DJ sister half to death!

Cheng Weiliang laughed and said: "That's a sad story, I still hurt other people's boyfriends and girlfriends and can't get back together, why are you still laughing?"

The fine label said disdainfully: "That girl is too hypocritical, just change the song and give it to her boyfriend, why do you have to have that song?

"But when she made such a fuss, all the people who listened to the radio program in Xiangjiang remembered that there was a song called """! Brother Liang, isn't this God helping me! Others have helped us advertise for nothing, do you think I can not be happy? Hahaha!" Like a child who has suddenly broadened his knowledge, he can't help but be overjoyed.

Cheng Weiliang nodded, "Yes, this matter is indeed a great thing for us." But when you like a girl in the future, you won't laugh at that girl. (To be continued.) )
