Chapter 179: A Trace of Remorse
readx;
Kalman's eyes were full of hope, but he was given an opportunity that he was not satisfied with. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your only chance is to undo this mistake! You should know that the song we're talking about hasn't been signed to any company yet. This means that we still have a chance, so now we must find a way to make this young man from country Z change his mind and let him re-participate in this "future idol" event, and then complete this event smoothly. Of course you can't be in charge anymore, you need to cooperate with your colleague Tom. Jackson gets the job done! This is the chance I've earned for you, don't mess up again, Kalman! "Merka. Faith said in a tough tone.
"You mean to ask me to apologize to that country Z kid?" Kalman asked, a little distracted. Deprived of the identity of the person in charge, Kalman expected. But letting his competitors do it on his head, and cooperating with his competitors to find that country z kid to sign a contract, made him a little unacceptable.
"As long as you can get him to change his mind and sign a contract with the company, I don't care what method you use. I just want results. ”
"But"
"No, either you go back and report your resignation, and I'll give you a decent chance to resign, or do what I say! That's all I can do for you. Kalman, there are still 2 hours between now and the end of work, think for yourself! Now you go out first! "Merka. Faith directly ordered the eviction.
From Merka. Kalman, who came out of Feith's office, was extremely conflicted.
If there's one thing he finds more difficult to accept than having to temporarily accept a leader who is a direct competitor, it's to apologize to someone he hates even more.
But now two things have fallen on him at the same time, and his mood can be imagined.
Tom. Jackson is of the same status as him in the company, but he is in charge of a different business, but now he not only needs to cooperate with his actions, but also to apologize to a boy from country Z who once threatened him repeatedly, and he has never encountered such a thing in his life that makes him feel extremely embarrassed when he thinks about it. But if he didn't, he would have to resign.
Kalman is in his fifties, and he has long since lost the courage to quit and change jobs. As he did with Merkel. As Feith said, he has worked for Universal Music for more than 20 years, and his youth and energy have been dedicated to Universal Music, and he has never thought about making a comeback in a different environment. If you go back 10 years, maybe Kalman would have left his resignation letter at Merk. The courage on Feith's face, but now he was past that impulsive age.
The young man's sonorous words seemed to echo in his ears at this time.
"I'll make you regret it with music!"
Now that I think about it, Kalman really feels a little regretful.
Knowing that this was the result, he would not have said anything at the time and disqualified the young man of country Z in a moment. Looking back now, did you get any benefit from this? No! was beaten at the Berk College of Music, and was threatened, and then like a bad plot in the movie, the kid who was once despised by himself suddenly rose up unexpectedly, and he was like the villain in the movie, he had to bow his head and apologize like him, and I don't know if he accepts it!
And if he doesn't accept it, he may also face unemployment.
Thinking of this, Kalman even felt that today was the end of the world for him
Chen Chufan didn't know about the dilemma that Kalman was facing. Otherwise, he would have been happier than he is now, even though he is quite happy by now.
Early in the morning, together with Ye Feng, he successfully sneaked out from a section of the academy's wall that was not too high, without alerting anyone. Then I took the bus to NY smoothly.
Today's weather is very good, the warm sun is shining on my body, and it is very comfortable. This made Chen Chufan, who was sitting in the back seat of the special car arranged by Marshall, feel slightly sleepy, but he had already arrived at his destination before he could take a nap.
After getting out of the car, Chen Chufan felt a little familiar with the nearby scenery, and only after a while did he react when he saw the time sign on the side of the road, which was a hotel near Lincoln Center. The Julie School is only about a kilometre away from the hotel.
This discovery made Chen Chufan feel a little emotional, when he was disgracefully expelled from the Julie School, he never thought that he would come to the vicinity of this academy as a singer. I didn't expect that in just a few months, I went from an unknown student to a hot star, which felt a bit dramatic.
Thinking of the school, he couldn't help but think of those friends in the academy, when the premiere was over, he was not in a hurry to go back to school anyway, he could get together with these friends more in ny, just had this idea, but he couldn't help but see another girl in his mind, which made Chen Chufan have a moment of trance.
"What do you think? Hurry up and get inside! Ye Feng on the side looked at Chen Chufan, who was standing stupidly in front of the hotel, and urged with some impatience.
Ye Feng's words brought Chen Chufan back to his senses, he shook his head, did not speak, but walked directly up the steps of the hotel and walked towards the hotel.
First opened the room at the hotel's service desk and arranged Ye Feng. Chen Chufan came to Marshall's room alone. Walking to the door of the room, Chen Chufan could even hear the hearty laughter coming from the room. Apparently the old man was chatting with a friend at this time, and they were having a good time.
knocked on the door, and soon the door opened, and Marshall's slightly exaggerated words also sounded in Chen Chufan's ears: "Look, who is this, ha, our future idol of country M, the magical boy from the East is here!" Welcome, Chen! ”
Marshall's words made Chen Chufan feel a little embarrassed, and the young man scratched his head before responding with a smile: "It's all thanks to you, Mr. Marshall." Without you, the future idol of country M probably wouldn't be a magical oriental boy. ”
"Well, don't be modest! If you don't have the strength, the opportunity won't favor you! Come on in and let me introduce you to a new friend. Trust me, he will help you a lot! After Marshall's enthusiastic response, he welcomed Chen Chufan into the room.
Chen Chufan walked into Marshall's room, this is a suite, the living room space is not large, but the furnishings are simple and elegant. A two-seater sofa and two sofa chairs were placed in a corner of the living room, and a middle-aged man in his 40s was sitting on the sofa chair, looking at Chen Chufan with a smile.
"Come, let me introduce you, this is Tom. Jackson, my old friend too, Tom. Mr. Jackson, who now works for Universal Music, approached me and wanted me to introduce you to you, and he is said to have a very good contract for you. Tom, this is Chen, the teenager of country Z we were talking about just now, he's still very young, isn't he? Full of vitality, seeing him reminds me of when I was young! Marshall walked between the two and enthusiastically began his introduction.
Tom. Jackson's identity surprised Chen Chufan, and he didn't understand how it was Universal Music people who found him through Director Marshall at this time. But before he could think about it, this Tom. Jackson had already stood up enthusiastically and greeted him.
"Hello, Chen! As Marshall said, I'm working for Universal Music right now, and you can think of me as a representative of the company to negotiate with you, and I know my colleagues have had some unpleasant times with you, but trust me, not everyone at Universal is like Kalman. And congratulations on the miracle, boy, I'm very optimistic about you. "Tom. Jackson stood up, shook his head with Chen Chufan briefly, and then opened his mouth to praise.
This Tom. Jackson is very tall, with a height of 1.9 meters and a strong build, making him more like a basketball player than a music agent.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Jackson. Again, as I said earlier, thanks to Mr. Marshall's help. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get that good grades! "The feeling of having to look up at someone makes Chen Chufan seem a little unaccustomed, Tom. Jackson represents the identity of Universal Records, which makes Chen Chufan feel a little awkward, but since he is an old friend of director Marshall, Chen Chufan still seems very polite.
"Okay, sit down and say, yes, Chen, don't be too restrained. Tom is an old friend of mine! With that, Marshall took the lead and sat down on the couch.
Sit down with Chen Chufan, Tom. Jackson got straight to the point: "First of all, I have to represent Universal Music for my colleague Kalman. Walter apologizes for your offense, and believe me, we were equally shocked to learn of what Kalman had done at Berke. So I also hope that you will give Universal a chance to make up for the mistakes that Kalman has made. ”
Chen Chufan nodded, but he didn't know what to say. He didn't have a good impression of Universal Music because of Kalman's relationship. But in front of this Tom. Jackson is a friend of director Marshall, who has the grace of knowing him, and Chen Chufan feels that his words seem to be right. Walter does not represent Universal Records as a whole.
So he thought for a moment before calmly saying, "Mr. Jackson, I believe in Kalman. Walter's unfair treatment of me is just his personal behavior, so I don't have any prejudice against Universal Records, so if you have anything to say, you might as well say it, as I just said, Director Marshall has a good understanding of me, and you are a friend of Director Marshall, and if you are not asking too much, I certainly don't mind working with your company. ”
