Chapter Ninety-Eight: Zhao Tao's Persistence
City B, inside a big hotel, six o'clock in the morning!
As usual, he got up early in the morning, washed up, went out with his agent, came to the gate of a high school in City B, and sat down in the bubble tea shop opposite.
According to the usual practice, he would sit all day until the high school opposite him had a night of self-study, and then he would leave the bubble tea shop and go back.
Such days have been going on for a month, and Zhao Tao doesn't know how long it will last, but he knows that he will continue until he impresses Chen Ze.
That's right, as a popular first-line singer, he spent a whole month doing nothing all day, just sitting opposite the bubble tea shop in this high school, just to show Chen Ze his sincerity, to impress Chen Ze, hoping to get the song that Chen Ze wrote for him.
He knew that he had offended Chen Ze before, so he had to rely on this method to get Chen Ze's forgiveness.
sat down until seven o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark, and Chen Ze in the school still didn't have any reaction.
His agent finally couldn't help it, and persuaded him: "Lao Zhao, we have been sitting for a month, and our sincerity has been enough." But Chen Ze still didn't have any reaction, I think we should give up, that guy won't pay attention to us anymore. β
"Nope." Zhao Tao shook his head. He knew that only Chen Ze might be able to save his career, so he had to wait for a month, even a year.
"You're a first-line star, and a first-line star doesn't do anything, just wait here for a month, and you've done enough. Even if Chen Ze doesn't write songs for us, relying on the popularity we have accumulated before, it will definitely be enough to eat for a lifetime, you don't need to do this step regardless of dignity, if you let people in the circle know your current actions, I'm afraid they will laugh at you. Agent Lao Chen said.
He knew that although Chen Ze was indeed talented, and his talent was far beyond his imagination. But how to say that Zhao Tao is also a singer who has debuted for ten years, even if Zhang Jingning stands in front of him, he has to shout Brother Zhao.
But now he doesn't do anything, just stay here and wait for Chen Ze, a high school student, which is really embarrassing. If he hadn't bought the owner of the bubble tea shop and asked him not to spread the news, I'm afraid that reporters would have surrounded him a long time ago.
"Lao Chen, don't say this kind of thing again in the future." Zhao Tao said, "As long as Chen Ze can help me write songs, it doesn't matter what jokes are jokes or not." β
Zhao Tao is a very ambitious man, although it is true that as Lao Chen said, there is no need for this with the popularity he has accumulated now. But how could he endure being angry like this, and when others mentioned him in the future, they just said, Oh, that's a singer who used to be very popular before.
So this time, he must impress Chen Ze and let Chen Ze help him complete his transformation, no matter what the cost.
After sitting for about three hours, students from the opposite high school came out one after another. From their conversation, Zhao Tao knew that it was another evening self-study, and his day had passed again.
"Come back tomorrow!"
When the students from the opposite school were almost gone, Zhao Tao stood up and said without hesitation.
The agent Lao Chen wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He knew that no matter what he said, Zhao Tao would not change his insistence.
Just as he was about to leave the bubble tea shop, a figure suddenly walked in, it was Chen Ze.
"Mr. Chen." Zhao Tao spoke.
Chen Ze didn't say anything, just looked at Zhao Tao, and then handed over a piece of paper: "This is a Cantonese song, I think it is most suitable for you to transform to sing." You take this song back and release the single first, and if the market responds well, then we will talk about helping you make an album. β
Hearing Chen Ze's words, Zhao Tao showed an ecstatic expression on his face, and he knew that he had finally waited in vain this month: "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Chen." Don't worry, I will call you the money as I said. β
"Hmm."
Chen Ze nodded, turned around and left the bubble tea shop.
As he walked out, he was thinking about Zhao Tao.
In fact, Zhao Tao has been inviting songs to him more than once since the Spring Festival, hoping that he can help him create an album for transformation, and he has even made it clear that he wants to make Cantonese songs.
Chen Ze himself also felt that Zhao Tao was very suitable for singing Cantonese songs, especially since Cantonese songs had not risen in this world, so it was really suitable to sing this genre as Zhao Tao himself as a Cantonese.
However, Chen Ze still refused his invitation, the reason was very simple, why did he want to help someone who once wanted to suppress him. But Chen Ze never expected that Zhao Tao would stay at the gate of his school for a month, and he would sit in it all day and do nothing.
For a first-line singer, he may be able to earn millions or even more in a month. Zhao Tao spent a whole month waiting for himself, and he was indeed too sincere.
Chen Ze is not the kind of narrow-minded person, and he also knows that multiple friends are better than multiple enemies, let alone friends of a first-line superstar like Zhao Tao.
Therefore, he wrote this song today and handed it to Zhao Tao.
The reason why it's just a song instead of helping him create an album is because Chen Ze wants to see what the reaction will be to Cantonese songs that are not popular in this world, and second, because he is about to take the college entrance examination and has no time.
Although Chen Ze has long been promised to be accepted as a student by Professor Hu of the Huaxia Higher Academy of Music and Arts, it is indeed difficult to explain if the college entrance examination is too bad, so Chen Ze feels that he still has to work hard.
"There's only one song!"
After the news of Chen Ze's figure was complete, Zhao Tao's agent complained. What can a song do, he feels that Chen Ze is too stingy.
Zhao Tao, on the other hand, carefully opened the paper, on which were written lyrics and scores. And at the beginning, there are a few big characters printed on it: "Sea and Sky"!
Zhao Taozai looked at the paper carefully, it was normal at first, and then his face gradually became excited, and even the hand holding the paper trembled.
"This song, this song! Transformation, there is hope for transformation! β
******
"Master, go to the State Guest Hotel."
In a taxi at the airport in City B, a middle-aged man in his thirties spoke. With his words, the taxi drove towards the State Guest Hotel.
This man's name is Ma Fei, and he is the vice president of Huaxia Brokerage Company, that is, Zhao Tao's superior and good friend. He came to City B this time to persuade Zhao Tao to go back.
From Zhao Tao's agent, he learned about what happened to Zhao Tao recently, as a first-line singer, he didn't do anything for a month, just waiting dryly at the gate of a high school.
What kind of joke is this, it's too cheap.
Not to mention how much economic loss this has caused, from the perspective of a friend, Ma Fei feels that he wants to persuade Zhao Tao to come back. How can a star do such a thing, Chen Ze won't write a song if he doesn't help write it, it's a big deal to find other lyricists, why is it necessary to lose face here.
And Ma Fei also knows that the current state of Zhao Tao is the complete decline of the songs he relied on to become famous in the past, which caused him himself to become obsolete and had to transform.
But how can the transformation be so simple, although Chen Ze did show amazing talent. But whether he can help Zhao Tao transform successfully, Ma Fei is not hopeful at all.
This is not a matter of writing two good songs for Zhao Tao, but at least letting Zhao Tao go out of another way, completely erasing the traces of his past and the image left in the minds of fans.
In other words, Zhao Tao must once again become a grandmaster of a genre or even the originator of the mountain, which is inevitably a little too difficult.
No lyricist in the entire music world dares to guarantee that he can help Zhao Tao do this, and Ma Fei feels that Chen Ze can't do this.
Soon, he arrived at the State Guest Hotel. According to the room number provided by Zhao Tao's agent before, Ma Fei looked for it.
Knock knock!
Ma Fei knocked on the door of Zhao Tao's room, and the person who opened the door was Zhao Tao's agent.
"Zhao Tao?"
Before Ma Fei could ask this question, Zhao Tao's singing voice came from the room.
"Today, I watched the snow drift by in the cold night, and drifted away with a cooled heartγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
