Chapter 255: Confrontation with Director Huang
A group of people gathered around looked quite festive and lively enough. It has already attracted the frequent attention of the judges around him, and has already attracted the attention of Zhou Jinglun and his agent Uncle Liu, at this time, Uncle Liu has already found Director Huang, who was sitting at the front and drinking coffee with him yesterday afternoon, whispered something.
Director Huang looked back, shook his head, got up from his seat, and walked towards the group of people gathered around Zhang Wenyou.
"You are Chen Chufan?" Director Huang approached, first nodded at Zhang Wenyou, who was sitting in the seat, and said hello to Chen Chufan.
Chen Chufan nodded, he thought it was quite strange, could it be that the middle-aged man in front of him also had his own record at home, right? Otherwise, how can one or two strangers recognize themselves at a glance?
"Well, I'm Huang Feng, the company's music director. You hurry up and prepare, and let these irrelevant people avoid it first, the judges are almost here, and you and Zhou Jinglun's performance today is about to start. Huang Feng said with a frown.
Although he only stated a fact, Director Huang's unfriendly expression and unceremonious tone made Chen Chufan feel uncomfortable, especially the implication that he wanted to blow out his girlfriends, which made Chen Chufan feel even more dissatisfied. also made Chen Chufan lose any good impression of Director Huang, who met for the first time.
Speaking of the position of music director, Chen Chufan is often in contact with him in country M. Jackson is similar to Director Huang's position, not to mention Kalman. Walter was a full-fledged music director before he became his manager. Therefore, the position of music director of Universal Music naturally has no sense of mystery for Chen Chufan, which makes Chen Chufan have no awe of Director Huang with a constipated expression on his face.
Therefore, Chen Chufan's answer also seemed very unpolite: "Nothing to do with anyone, etc.?" Where are there irrelevant people here? ”
Chen Chufan's unceremonious answer surprised Director Huang, and after the accident, he was angry.
He has been the music director of Universal Music for many years, and he has never seen a newcomer who dares to play a big name in front of him, even some old people who have been famous for a long time are polite to him. A newcomer like Chen Chufan who dared to contradict himself after introducing himself, not to mention that there is no one who will come after him, but it is certain that there is no one before.
"Aren't so many friends you brought with you unrelated people?" Director Huang said stiffly. In the face of a newcomer, with angry emotions, Director Huang naturally did not have any good tone.
"You mean them?" Chen Chufan pointed to the group of people around him, "They really aren't irrelevant people!" ”
After speaking, Chen Chufan began to introduce one by one: "This Miss Han Xiaoxi is the erhu player I specially invited to accompany me, and Miss Ye Siying next to her is the pianist who will accompany me later, as well as this Miss Su Xiuqing." It's my personal assistant, do you think they're irrelevant, etc.? ”
After Chen Chufan finished introducing Director Huang, he was silent. The two newcomers compete for songs, which is originally to show their abilities. It is indeed understandable for Chen Chufan to find his own accompaniment. If you insist on letting the musicians found by the singer go out, it will be impersonal. As for personal assistants, it is even more natural to follow their own singers.
"What about them?" Director Huang pointed to Zhang Shisan, who was looking left and right behind Chen Chufan, and after an outsider came, he recovered Zhang Si, who was expressionless.
"They are my bodyguards. The kind of 24-hour personal protection! Chen Chufan replied without showing weakness.
Director Huang was a little depressed. The appearance of this newcomer named Chen Chufan is really good. Personal assistants, agents, and bodyguards are quite complete! Is he really a newcomer?
Don't think that if you sign a contract with a record label, you will be able to make money. For newcomers who have just signed a contract with a record company, they have no basic salary, the record company will not even give living expenses, only dividends, and whether they can survive depends on the market's reaction to the record. That's why record companies dare to sign so many new people every year.
Anyway, you don't need the record company to pay anything, as long as you feel that the singer does have potential, you will sign it first. It is best to be able to be red naturally after upbringing. Even if it can't be popular, the company won't lose anything.
Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary newcomers to have a star fan like Chen Chufan before he debuted. What personal assistants, personal bodyguards are all up. You must know that most newcomers don't even dare to be full-time singers if they don't have a good family background, because in the end, the company feels that they don't have the value of becoming popular, or the record market doesn't respond well. Then they might just go hungry.
For example, Zhang Wenyou, who has been named the god of songs, did not dare to resign from the ticketing work of Cathay Pacific Airways Reservations when he first signed a contract with Polygram Records. Until his first record was a big hit. After he was sure that he could support his family, he quit his job and devoted himself to the challenging job of stardom. And it turns out that Zhang Wenyou's talent as a star is indeed much higher than his ticketing.
Of course, there are not many lucky people like Zhang Wenyou who can sell their first record. However, Chen Chufan in front of Director Huang is one of them. This made Director Huang, who didn't know enough about Chen Chufan's experience, a little unable to get off the stage, of course, Director Huang couldn't immediately change his attitude like Chen Chufan, otherwise he, the music director, would be too worthless. In particular, Chen Chufan's attitude towards him at this time was not humble, or even friendly, which made Director Huang feel very dissatisfied.
"You say they're bodyguards or bodyguards? Why don't I feel like it? "Director Huang, this is a bit of a deliberate difficulty. However, he obviously made it difficult for the wrong person, and this time he didn't wait for Chen Chufan to collide with him. Zhang 13 was not satisfied. Criticize him for not being like a bodyguard? This is not scientific, because in Zhang Shisan's opinion, he should definitely be an all-rounder, so this Director Huang's words are completely contempt for him.
So Zhang Shisan naturally took a step forward, smiled at the serious Director Huang and asked kindly, "You say I'm not like a bodyguard?" Dare to say it again? ”
Zhang Shisan's words successfully made Director Huang shift his attention to him. When he was about to scold this man who dared to threaten him, he suddenly felt extremely dangerous, as if he was being targeted by a cobra, and he couldn't help but feel tight. A sentence was stuck in his throat, but he didn't jump out.
Zhang Shisan obviously didn't intend to let go of Director Huang, who questioned his professional ability. continued to jokingly say: "Or do you need me to prove it to you?" ”
"How do you want to prove it?" Director Huang felt that he had exhausted all his strength before he could squeeze out this sentence. At this time, he already felt that he couldn't get off the stage.
"It's easy!" Zhang Shisan's hand quickly moaned in his jacket, followed by a black hand like a trick, and then he skillfully pulled a gun flower, aimed the gun head at himself, and handed the gun handle to Director Huang. br/>
Director Huang was instantly messy. Cold sweat the size of a soybean suddenly welled up on his forehead. Zhang Shisan handed over this black and metallic thing, which didn't look like some counterfeit or movie props.
At this time, it was not only Director Huang who was messy? The few people gathered together became a little nervous with Zhang Shisan's action of pulling out his gun. Fortunately, Zhang Wenyou sat in the back of the entire performance room, and his voice was not loud, so he didn't attract the attention of others in the front row, so he didn't make any movement.
But even so, Chen Chufan only felt that the egg hurt when he looked at Zhang Shisan. I took out the gun when I didn't say it right, and I instigated others to take the gun and point it at my head, is this a normal bodyguard ga? Chen Chufan only felt that the bodyguard that Ye Feng had introduced to him at this time was really exuding an evil aura all over his body. Chen Chufan even had the urge to call Ye Feng at this time, he had to ask who this Zhang Shisan was.
Otherwise, Zhang Wenyou's popularity in the circle has always been very good. Faced with the atmosphere that had stiffened at this time, the good old man reacted and immediately stood up and started a round.
"The performance is about to start, Chen Chufan might as well hurry up and prepare with your accompanists, as for your bodyguards, you can sit in the back row. Director Huang is also well-intentioned, he is afraid that there are too many people who have nothing to do with the game when you are competing and affecting your performance! This bodyguard friend, let's put away the gun first. ”
It seems that the power of idols is indeed infinite. Even Zhang Shisan, who has always been difficult, nodded with a smile after Zhang Wenyou spoke and persuaded him, then withdrew his hand and put the gun back.
Director Huang smiled gratefully at Zhang Wenyou reluctantly, which can be regarded as thanks. Only then did he speak: "Wenyou is right, you go and take a seat first, Chen Chufan, you come with me, you have to draw lots with Zhou Jinglun in the absolute order of appearance." ”
After saying that, he left this small circle that embarrassed him without looking back.
"Brother Zhang, what are you going to do!" As soon as Director Huang walked on the front foot, Chen Chufan complained in a low voice.
"What's the fuss? I'm trying to answer his questions. He doesn't believe that I am your bodyguard, and I prove to him how simple it is! Zhang 13 replied unappreciatively.
Chen Chufan was speechless. He understood that his bodyguard was worthy of being introduced by Ye Feng, and he was really good with Ye Feng all the way, and he was so unreliable!
But he didn't have time to complain about anything at this point. Just now, I didn't give face to that Director Huang, and if I let others wait for a long time to draw lots for myself, it would be too big. So after thanking Zhang Wenyou, he walked towards Director Huang's position. As for the group of people behind him, let them toss! (To be continued...) )
