Chapter 268: Bet
Just when Chen Chufan and Zhang Shisan went to rescue Han Xiaoxi and Ye Siying, Kalman. Walter is fighting with people in the company.
"Mr. Walter, I now have great doubts about your professional competence. For a commercial record, the style should tend to be unified as a whole, which is the consensus of the entire industry! Tell us about the playlist you submitted, and how did you ask the company to do the planning direction and concept promotion of the album? Especially since this is the first album of the newcomers, you guys are too child's play, right? Director Huang carefully studied Kalman. Walter provided a playlist and rebuked.
This is not that Director Huang is deliberately looking for trouble, it is indeed well-founded. A commercial record certainly wants to have as wide an audience as possible. But first of all, it is necessary to position the concept of the album and the overall style.
Of course, the planning team in charge will also subdivide the style on this basis, such as adding several songs with different styles to meet different audiences. For example, for market considerations, one or two lyrical slow songs may be paired with a dance music album, so there will be no conflict.
But Kalman. The playlist submitted by Walter for Chen Chufan is different. Lyrical, slow, rock, blues, all genres and styles, and even available in two languages.
"Mr. Huang, watch your words! Of course, there may be some truth in your doubts, for other ordinary singers, the songs recorded in this playlist are indeed a bit messy. But please believe that Chen is not an ordinary singer, he is even better at mixing different types of songs to show his characteristics better! Because he's more than capable of mastering all these types of songs! "Kalman. In the face of Director Huang's questioning, Walter fought back without giving an inch.
"Well, Mr. Water, if you have to insist on it, then please go find the producer who made this album yourself! I'm afraid I don't have the right producer to recommend to you! Of course, I still suggest that you can continue to find a copyright company to invite songs, and even I can introduce you to a few big-name musicians to make two tunes for Chen Chufan. Of course, this can take a little longer! Director Huang spread his hands. Reluctantly suggested.
Director Huang does not plan to continue with Kalman. Walter argued. Because the farce between Chen Chufan and Zhou Jinglun in the morning to grab the song has made him unable to get off the stage. Although he was interested in Kalman. Walter was unimpressed with the playlist, but he didn't think he needed to continue arguing about the future of a new guy he hadn't even seen in a contract.
Since they want to rush to release a record, then it's good. Anyway, it has nothing to do with him, does it? It's enough to suggest the suggestion yourself. Of course if you really press Kalman. The playlist provided by Walter was released on record. Director Huang will never be optimistic about the sales of this album.
"No need, I'll be the producer of this album myself!" Kalman. Walter shook his head and refused.
"Alright! So now you are looking for me and need me to help you with anything? Director Huang did not continue to insist on his opinion.
"I need a different style of arrangement to do the arrangement of these songs!" Kalman. Walter made his own request.
"Oh! Arrangement, well! You give me the playlist that needs to be arranged, and I will arrange for some of the best arrangers in the company to complete the arrangement! Of course, the final style is up to you! "Director Huang will be Kalman. Walter handed over the playlist and put it on the desk. Nodding in agreement.
Director Huang is sincere and will hand over these songs to the best arrangers in the company. And it's also a different style of arrangement. In short, he will do everything he can perfectly. The album didn't sell well, so he can't be blamed for it.
"Well, thank you, Mr. Huang! I hope you can urge me to make these tunes as soon as possible! "Kalman. Seeing that the task was completed, Walter got up directly and said goodbye.
"I'll get them as soon as possible! But with all due respect, I'm not optimistic about this hodgepodge album! Director Huang nodded, and finally concluded.
"So let's wait and see, shall we? Or do you dare to make a bet with me? "Kalman. Walter said on a sudden whim.
"Bet? What to bet on? Director Huang looked at Kalman with a smug face. Walt. He asked with a puzzled face.
"Just bet on Chen's album sales!" Kalman. Walter said confidently.
"Oh? How to bet? What to bet on? Director Huang also came to be interested.
"If Chen's album sells well, you lose, and you win. As for what to bet on, well" Kalman. Walter groaned for a moment. "Why don't you gamble all the costs of a luxury trip to Hawaii for two?" It's been a long time since I've enjoyed the warm sunshine on a Hawaiian beach. ”
"So how much does it cost to sell?" Director Huang is becoming more and more interested.
"How many records of Hong Kong Island newcomers are sold in general, which is considered a good result?" Kalman. Walter asked rhetorically.
"100,000 is qualified. 10-150,000 is considered excellent, and about 200,000 is considered quite successful! Director Huang thought for a moment. A comparative data is given.
"Then let's set it at 250,000! What if I can sell 250,000 copies within 2 months of the album's release, and if I lose? "Kalman. Walter pondered for a moment and decided.
Director Huang was truly speechless. He really couldn't figure out where the little old man of country M in front of him got so much confidence. Of course, someone offered to ask him for a luxury tour of Hawaii for two, and he had no reason to refuse.
"Then the deal!" Director Huang stretched out his hand.
"Deal!" Kalman. Walter shook Director Huang's outstretched hand tightly.
Both men had earned smiles on their faces
Chen Chufan can now lie beside the two girls with a shy face, and he won't leave half a step anymore. He now has plenty of reasons to get tired of being with two beauties, and he is called personal protection. After all, such a dangerous thing happened, although it did not cause any serious consequences, but just thinking about the thrilling process made Chen Chufan dare not be careless.
This time, even Zhang Shisan has nothing to say. What else could he say? Just finished boasting about Haikou, under the protection of his subordinates, there was absolutely nothing, and as a result, he almost got out of the big basket, which made him even a little embarrassed to face Chen Chufan, let alone destroy Chen Chufan's good deeds.
"Chen Chufan, you really don't have to go back to the company? Did Kalman really give you a holiday? Han Xiaoxi asked suspiciously.
"Really, I don't believe you ask Brother Zhang! Today, I tried the music in the company, and the tracks of the album were arranged, and the arrangement and belt were all things that needed to be done by professionals. And I'm not famous right now, and Kalman hasn't arranged any talk shows for me or anything like that, so I've been quite idle lately. It's just right to accompany you to have a good walk around Hong Kong Island! Chen Chufan almost didn't swear to the sky.
"Okay, I'm hungry now, let's go eat first, and then go to Disneyland as planned, okay?" Han Xiaoxi naturally hoped that Chen Chufan could be by his side in the past few days on Hong Kong Island, and when he saw Chen Chufan, he almost didn't swear by the gambling curse, so he agreed
In one afternoon, Chen Chufan, who put down his worries, had a very good time with the two girls. However, Zhang Shisan's expression became more and more ugly. Judging from the telephone feedback from his subordinates one by one, Zhang Wenshan seemed to know the news in advance and hid. A few hours have passed now, and Zhang Wenshan's shadow has not been found!
Zhang Shisan was not calm. First of all, he patted his chest in the morning to ensure that his subordinates followed, and the safety of the two girls was absolutely guaranteed. As a result, within an hour, I received the news that two girls had been taken captive. Then in front of Chen Chufan, Han Xiaoxi and Ye Siying, he patted his chest again and promised that within 24 hours, Zhang Wenshan would disappear forever on Hong Kong Island, but now at least four hours have passed, but even Zhang Wenshan's shadow has not been found.
Zhang 13 felt that he could already tear off his face and put it on the ground for someone to step on. This made Zhang Shisan, who has always had a good face, feel like he was about to go crazy! If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Wenshan hadn't left the country through various channels, he would definitely still be on Hong Kong Island, and Zhang Shisan would have wanted to die.
"Doesn't Zhang Wenshan's information show that he is from the 17K organization? Invite all the 17K bosses with a foundation to the National Security Bureau for tea, and those who dare to resist the law broke my legs and dragged them over! I don't believe I can't catch the clue of that Zhang Wenshan! On the phone, Zhang Shisanyin coldly popped out of his mouth and hung up the phone.
Zhang Shisan just said a word, but the impact of this sentence was far-reaching. It has even accelerated the pace of bleaching of the underworld forces on Hong Kong Island.
In short, in the three hours after Zhang Shisan's words, the forty-seven bigwigs in the mouths of the 17K large and small halls, either at home, at the card table, or in the company, were taken to the most mysterious National Security Bureau, the most mysterious secret service, after glancing at the national security documents that flashed in front of them.
Of course, the big guys who are obediently tied up are not bad, at least they can be questioned without illness or pain. But apparently there are always some charlatans who are not very good-tempered, or have evil intentions. But this time they really hit the iron plate. Basically, there are dots on the body.
The most unlucky guy even got shot twice in the butt. After a simple bandage in the hospital, he was put on a stretcher and carried to the interrogation room.
And when the interrogators asked questions, the boss regretted and wanted to slap himself twice! I knew that it was just to inquire about the whereabouts of Zhang Wenshan, so I was shot by these two guns? (To be continued......)
