Chapter 81: Out of the album
81
"Brother Hui, there is a gentleman named 'Jean Baker' who wants to see you. Bai Annie reported to Fang Jianhui.
After Fang Jianhui came to France, all kinds of related and unrelated people wanted to come to meet him, he naturally wouldn't see everyone, he wanted to see either Luc Besson, Jean Reynaud and others, these people are both powerful and good friends of Adjani. Either it is the general manager of Raymond, the director of France Télévisions 3 and others, the former accepted the favor of others in the Sophie contract, and the latter asked him to talk about cooperation. The rest of the people, he is gone, every day just guarding the family's beautiful wives and concubines, or playing in the mountains and rivers, or singing and dancing to live.
Fang Jianhui thought about it for a while, and then remembered, oh, it turned out to be this guy, it was he who had been encouraging Adjani to take over the filming of his "Murderous Summer", "Let him in!"
"Hello Mr. Fang!" a Frenchman in his fifties walked in.
"Hello!" Fang Jianhui shook hands with him politely.
After taking his seat, Jean Baker got straight to the point: "This time I came to disturb Mr. Fang, not for anything else, but to invite Sister Ling Adjani to star in my movie." ”
This guy has called him several times about this, but Fang Jianhui has always refused to answer, but he didn't expect that this person was really persistent, and after hearing that he came to France, he actually killed him in person.
"Oh, looking for my sister to act in your movie?" Fang Jianhui said: "Then you should look for my sister, what are you looking for me for?"
"Don't hide it from Mr. Fang, I have asked Sister Ling many times, but she refused. ”
"It's strange, since my sister has refused, what are you looking for me for. Sister Ni was still obedient, and Fang Jianhui was in a good mood: "Isn't it possible for me to make my sister change her mind?"
"Yes, exactly. As long as Mr. Fang agrees, Sister Ling will definitely change her mind. Jean Baker was a little excited: "I can see that Miss Adjani is willing to act, but she is afraid that you will be unhappy, so she keeps refusing me." ”
"Oh, is it?" Fang Jianhui's voice turned cold: "But why should I agree?"
"Because Mr. Fang, you are also a great artist!" Jean Baker waved his hands and exclaimed, "Don't you know that you are suppressing Miss Adjani's artistic nature? Miss Adjani is not your personal treasure, she belongs to art, she belongs to all mankind!"
Fang Jianhui was unmoved, and watched his performance coldly.
Jean Baker continued to yell: "You use your influence over Miss Adjani to interfere with her freedom so violently, and if you continue like this, she will be unhappy!"
Damn, you're still energetic, Fang Jianhui was furious: "My sister is happy or not, I know better than you, get out!"

"Jianhui, what is your identity, as for being angry with him, it's not worth it. After the bodyguards chased the pesky guy away, Adjani came over to comfort him.
"Sister Ni, am I interfering with your freedom?" Fang Jianhui, who had calmed down, asked with his arms around the beauty.
"It's a little bit. Finding that he was calm, Adjani smiled: "However, you are my man, it is normal to interfere with my freedom!"
"Then are you happy now?" Fang Jianhui said.
"Don't worry, I'm so happy now. Adjani said: "Don't listen to this guy's nonsense, don't act in his movies, what a big deal, it has risen to the level of happiness or unhappiness." ”
"Well, I figured it out. Fang Jianhui made a decision: "Sister Ni, you go and tell this guy that I agree with you to shoot, and you can show two points in the film." ”
"Oh?" Adjani didn't expect him to change so much.
"But there are two conditions, one is that this movie must be invested by me, and the other is that it is okay to show a little in the movie, but the actor is absolutely not allowed to touch it. "This is Fang Jianhui's bottom line, and it can't be broken through no matter what.
"Okay, I'll call him right away. Adjani was overjoyed: "These two conditions must be fine." ”
Well, seeing her happy look, I really want to shoot!
Fang Jianhui later learned that the reason why Jean Baker has been pestering Adjani is that she is suitable for this role, and in addition, Jean Baker also knows that if Adjani is willing to star, then the investment in this film will be settled.
'Damn, pretending to be so impassioned, I thought it was really art that was more important than life? After learning the truth, Fang Jianhui was very unhappy.

Fang Jianhui stayed in France for about two weeks, and after cultivating enough affection with his new little lover, he came directly to the United States, where he wanted to accept the 'Congressional Gold Medal' awarded to him by the U.S. Congress in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the dissemination of American culture, which was listed as the highest civilian honor in the United States along with the 'Presidential Medal of Freedom' awarded to him by Reagan before.
On September 25th, after receiving the award in Congress, Fang Jianhui came to Los Angeles, he wanted to add another fire to his popularity because of the hit of "Alien ET" - he was going to release the record himself!
The god-level album "Thriller" has been lying in his prop box, and he hasn't used it for two years, and today he finally has to see the light of day!
The music style of the "Thriller" album is mainly 'pop', but there are also 'rock' and 'R&B' components, in order to better interpret this album, Fang Jianhui deliberately spent 2 million beliefs to increase the ability of 'music-singing-rock' and 'music-singing-R&B' to the full value.
In the past two years, it can be said that it is all thanks to the two albums made by Fang Jianhui for Teresa Teng that the company has been pulled back from the brink of death and developed a boom. Not only did the two albums sell well, but they also won the Grammys, Billboards, and American Music Awards one after another.
Fang Jianhui's production ability has long been recognized by the world, and his singing skills are also first-class strong, and many singles sung with Teresa Teng have performed well on the Billboard, not to mention, the two singles he personally performed at Teresa Teng's concert have also achieved millions of sales after their release, and have topped the Billboard.
Mr. Val Garay, the general manager, has been looking forward to this day for a long time, Fang Jianhui is so powerful in helping people make albums, if he wants to do it himself, how far should he go against the sky? This prospect will make Mr. Val Garay intoxicated when he thinks about it.
After Fox Music learned that Fang Jianhui was preparing to make an album, it was ready, and the best recording studios, recording engineers, and best musicians were all in place, and in order to perform the chorus song "the_girl_is_mine" in the album, it also invited veteran singer Paul McCartney to partner with him.
As soon as Fang Jianhui arrived, the entire system immediately started, and Fang Jianhui's invincible singing skills shocked everyone again, making Paul McCartney full of praise. When recording a song, Fang Jianhui usually only needs to sing it twice to find his feelings, and then pass it once. However, despite this, the nine songs of the entire record still took Fang Jianhui five days, because Fang Jianhui is as accurate as an atomic clock, but others are not. Musicians, recording engineers, harmony and others, although they are also elites in the industry, there are no major situations, and small accidents continue, which delays the progress a little.
After the recording was completed, Fang Jianhui handed over the rest of the work to Fox Records, and it was time for him to return to Xiangjiang.
This trip to the United States made Fang Jianhui deeply feel the necessity of finding another American girlfriend. He now has girlfriends in Hong Kong, RB, and France, and after the upgrade of 'Love Accompanying', it means that he can travel freely between these three places without the fatigue of traveling, but in the United States, where his career is focused, there is no such person, so he has to work hard to run back and forth in person every time he comes and goes.

During this period of time, Xiangjiang was really turbulent, and it turned out that China and Britain formally contacted the issue of the future of Xiangjiang.
On September 27, the British female prime minister, who won a great victory on the island, visited the northern capital, and after a long meeting with the Chinese side, she accidentally fell down the steps.
Since then, the two countries have held several rounds of negotiations, and the attitude of both sides is very tough: the Chinese side says that the sovereignty issue is not negotiable, and the British side says that the three treaties are valid and the British side is responsible for the future of Hong Kong.
In the first three rounds of negotiations, the headlines of news reports ranged from 'the two sides held useful and constructive talks' to 'the two sides held useful talks' until 'the two sides held talks'. Since then, the stock market and property market, which have been soaring, have turned downward, and the future of Xiangjiang has become the number one topic for the people of Xiangjiang for more than ten years.
However, these incidents have no impact on Fang Jianhui, and he does not engage in speculation, in the real estate market, he is self-built for his own use or bought for his own use, and in the stock market, he is also a long-term investment, holding the 'richest man' and 'wizard' and not relaxing.
The only thing that surprised Fang Jianhui was the two movies "Running to the Angry Sea" and "Burning Youth", the "box office value" when he invested in "Running to the Angry Sea" was only 65, he invested money because he liked the artistic value of the film, and he only made a contribution to art.
Unexpectedly, when the film production was completed recently and Angel Cinemas was ready to schedule, Fang Jianhui inadvertently glanced at it again and found that the 'box office value' of the film had risen to 85! Fang Jianhui thought about it and could only explain it by saying that the film just caught up with the current political climate.
The box office value of 'Fire Youth' is 55, which once puzzled Fang Jianhui, except for the fact that the plot of this film is a little pitty at the end, it is actually very good, and the director Tan Jiaming and the starring Ye are very capable.
Fang Jianhui took a fancy to its artistic value and invested money suspiciously. Unexpectedly, as soon as the film was released, it was full of turmoil in the city because the scale of many passion scenes in the film was too large, and after the education community protested against its impact on the physical and mental health of teenagers, Angel Cinema had to withdraw the film that had just been screened for one day, which also made the investment in the film go down the drain.
In addition to making Fang Jianhui sigh at the system's exhaustive strategy and predicting things like a god, these two things also gave him more thought about the timing of the film's release. "Running to the Angry Sea" is a good time, but "Burning Youth" is a bad time to catch up with the current social atmosphere is not open enough, and if it is released at another time, it may not be a box office hit.
