In Whitney Houston's recording studio, Chen Tiandu met Hans and finally met the world-famous music queen. In the entire American music scene, there are few big singers who can play well in the film industry, and Whitney is obviously an accident.

1992's "The Bodyguard" moved countless people to tears, not so much because the movie made Whitney Houston successful in the film industry, but because it was Whitney's "I-Will-Always-Love-You" that made the movie. is really a song and a popular movie, and this problem has also been reflected in "Titanic".

Of course, American music divas don't bother to mix with the film industry anymore, and they only earn more from selling albums, which is much more than the salary from making movies. However, Whitney obviously likes movies, especially singing theme songs for movies, so at the Oscars earlier this year, she also sang the song "When-You-Believe" with Mariah Carey won the 71st Academy Award for Best Movie Theme Song.

Chen Tian took Kate with him, and they didn't have many days together, and they were tired of being together everywhere.

As soon as the two sides met, Whitney gave Chen Tiandu a hug, "Chen, I really didn't expect that the song 'Skyfall' was written by you, and its style and charm conquered me." It's really unbelievable, you have also released a record, if you are willing to develop in the music world, I can help you make a record, I believe it will definitely be no worse than the movie. He hugged Kate cordially and greeted him.

Chen Tiandu said modestly: "No, I know that I am two pounds, and I occasionally have inspiration, but it is not okay to sing full-time." I prefer to listen to songs rather than sing, especially your songs, and I'm a huge fan of yours. ”

"Look, Hans, he's a compliment. It's so handsome, it's really fascinating. Whitney joked.

Hans Timo shrugged, "Christmas is not a dull Chinese, otherwise you wouldn't be able to soak a beauty like Kate." Kate couldn't help but smile.

"Whitney, we don't have much time to record, and we don't dare to take up too much of your time, so let's start now, how about it?"

Whitney nodded, immediately got into the working state, and said to Chen Tiandu: "Chen, before I came, I had already studied this song, and it was very good, and I could hardly find anything that needed to be modified." However, your song is the theme song of the movie, so I think it's better to listen to your opinion. ”

Chen Tiandu told the story of his movie in general, and carefully described several scenes that he wanted to use in this song, and then listened to the opinions of professionals. Whitney said: "The scene in the movie should be used in a quiet environment, and I think it should be ethereal and not too noisy. It's better to ditch electronica altogether and use traditional instrumental soundtracks, what do you think? She asked Hans.

Hanstimo nodded, "I think so too, why don't you just give it a try, it just so happens that my orchestra is there." ”

“sure。”

The two music masters, with only a few modifications, began to record officially.

When the soul-piercing sound, a slightly mysterious melody, and a hint of Western-style classicism and elegance from time to time, "skyfall" sounded in his ears again, Chen Tiandu was completely immersed in it. The queen of heaven is the queen of heaven, no worse than the version of Adele he has heard, and ...... He prefers this version, after all, he is not going to score "007", but "Infernal Affairs".

This song is integrated with Chen Yongren, and through the guò song, you can better understand the moment when an undercover agent fell. Chen Tiandu thought of a scene in his mind, when this song sounded in North America, with the picture of the movie, it completely pushed the plot to a higher peak again.

Previously, when "Titanic" recorded the theme song, Celine Dion was said to have only recorded it once, and Chen Tian didn't believe it very much. He himself is not a genius, so he also speculates that others cannot be so fast. But when it was Whitney Houston's turn today, it was really only sung once, and it was so perfect that it couldn't have been more perfect.

When Whitney finished singing it, the entire recording room burst into applause. She walked out of the recording room, wiped the corners of her eyes, and then hugged Chen Tiandu very excitedly, "Thank you, it's a wonderful feeling, I haven't had this experience for a long time." ”

Chen Tiandu shook his head, unable to believe it, "It's me who should say thank you, you let us hear a song of heaven." ”

That night, Whitney updated his blog, posting a few photos with Chen Tiandu, Kate Beckinsale, and Hans Zimmer, writing: "A perfect song, Skyfall, after recording the theme song of this movie "Infernal Affairs", I burst into tears, and for the first time in so many years, it reminded me of "Bodyguard" back then. I hope my fans can hear this song as much as possible. ”

Whitney recorded the theme song of Chen Tiandu's new movie, which is not a sensation, but it is definitely fresh. Whitney's own admission of "I-Will-Always-Love-You," which is comparable to "The Bodyguard," is even more surprising. It is not known how the media will react, but at least fans and fans on both sides are very concerned.

Not long after "The Matrix" was completed, Chen Tiandu was very popular, but in a blink of an eye, his new movie was about to appear again so soon, it was really fast enough.

Anyway, Whitney's blog post contains a lot of content, which makes many people speculate. Peck saw that the response was very good, and he has already started the preliminary publicity work.

And Chen Tiandu went straight to Santa Clara, California. This year is the first annual meeting since Google was launched, and the team has been improved. The company has also moved from a humble warehouse to a bright office building.

At present, Google has not made any profit for Chen Tiandu, but he has invested millions of dollars in it. Fortunately, the money situation of this project is becoming more and more obvious, and several venture capital companies have inquired, but after hearing that the owners of the company are not Larry Page and Sergey Bloom, but a Hollywood star who is not bad for money, they have temporarily dismissed their minds.

The reason why he was so eager to attend this meeting was because Larry Page and Sergey Bloom seemed to be beginning to realize, or rather, finally realize how lucrative what they were doing, so they asked for the share distribution on the contract to be fulfilled in advance, unwilling to continue to be a wage earner.

Chen Tiandu's answer was, "Yes." ”

This reassured the two of them a lot, but Chen Tian was like a mistake, and the people's hearts were not enough to swallow elephants, so they didn't just want 10%.

On this day, all the important senior management such as finance, execution, and business were all present, and Chen Tiandu sat in the first place, listening to the report below.

Larry said: "Chairman, the development of the company obviously needs a lot of money, and the five million dollars you invested in the early stage have almost been used. Sergei and I scraped together $2 million and planned to inject capital into the company to ease the company's financial pressure. ”

Chen Tiandu glanced at him, but Larry was not to be outdone and looked directly at him, once upon a time, this young man had to grovel, but now he has some confidence. Chen Tiandu did not deny it, if the person in charge of Google in the future is a sloppy person, I am afraid he will be even more worried. The growth of Larry and Serge is what the company needs more.

Pi smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there is a million in this or the salary I paid you." Another million, let's get over with a lot of relatives and friends...... How many shares are you going to exchange? ”

Larry and Sergei looked at each other, unable to hide the joy in their eyes, and Larry said, "I want to ...... A 20% stake should be fine. ”

Before Chen Tiandu could speak, Donnie couldn't help it, "It's too naïve." To tell you the truth, in May of this year, several venture capital firms came to negotiate a capital injection, and $25 million was only enough to exchange 30% of the shares, but we refused. Because Google was already more than that at that time, let alone now. ”

Chen Tiandu waved his hand to interrupt him and continued, and said bluntly: "I can accept your investment, two million investments, in exchange for 10% of the shares, plus your existing ones, you alone hold 15% of the company's shares." This still counts as a technology shareholding, and I promise you that in the future, no matter how much investment or financing you receive, you will try not to dilute it from the shares in it. Of course, if you want to go public, that's a different story. ”

What else did Larry want to say, but Chen Tiandu waved his hand directly and said: "This is the bottom line, some things are sold does not mean that they can be redeemed." Because it's not what it used to be, I hope you recognize the reality, after all, it's not in college. ”

Chen Tiandu was already so gracious, and the two of them immediately closed their mouths wisely. As a result, each of them owns 15% of the company's shares, which is equivalent to the second largest shareholder after Chen Tiandu, and according to the company's current market value, it is estimated that there are tens of millions of dollars in assets. Compared to simple input, they obviously get more now, don't you see that Donnie on the side is still indignant.

Even if they want to split their shares this year, I'm afraid the two of them will have far more shares than Downey.

The transition from a wage earner to a shareholder is a substantial change, representing the confidence and authority to sit in this office. From the moment Chen Tiandu should be, Larry and the two clearly felt a blank aura lingering around them. Looking at this company is also becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, if you want to use specific words to describe it, it is a sense of belonging.

What's not to be satisfied with.
