Chapter Twenty-Three: The Wheel of History Turns

What does S.M.'s Huang stand for?

Of course Li Zhixian remembers him!

When he first came to S.M., the first middle manager he came into contact with was this representative Huang. At that time, S.M. offered to buy his song, which was the unrecognizable "Jet" that was later changed, and the contact person of S.M. was his operating representative of F(X), and the contract was also signed between him and Li Zhixian, who vaguely remembered that his full name seemed to be Huang Qiying.

It's just that Li Zhixian doesn't understand why he suddenly contacted him.

"Inside, of course I remember Representative Huang, the first contract in my life was signed with Representative Huang, how could I not remember you."

Hearing Li Zhixian's meaning, the other end of the phone was obviously a little embarrassed, and just sent out "Ah, inside!" He smiled reluctantly. He knew about the dirty things that S.M. had done to Li Zhixian, although it was not his order, but being in the company, he was inevitably morally shorter.

"I don't know what Representative Huang has to do with me?" After falling silent on the other side of the phone, Li Zhixian took the initiative to ask Representative Huang.

"Ahh Representative Huang came to his senses from the embarrassment and realized that he still had something to do, "I don't know if Zhixian Xi has time in the afternoon, if I can, I want to ask Zhixian Xi to come out for a cup of coffee." β€œ

Drinking coffee?

This obvious excuse would only be believed by a fool.

Through the last experience, I saw S.M. shameless, Li Zhixian is now quite resistant to this company, and he and Representative Huang are far from being able to drink coffee alone, so he refused in a cold tone: "You don't need to drink coffee, I have something to do in the afternoon, and Representative Huang can just make it clear on the phone if he has anything." β€œ

Once born and twice cooked, after being embarrassed once, and then being rejected by a slap in the face, the face will not hurt so much.

Representative Huang didn't care about Li Zhixian's tone, he expected his refusal, and he would be the same if he did, so he didn't pretend to be polite anymore, and asked bluntly: "Maybe the author of "Candyman" is Zhixian xi, right?" β€œ

γ€Šcandymanγ€‹οΌŸ It is impossible for Li Zhixian not to be familiar with his own works, even if there are many songs of the same name, Li Zhixian still immediately knows which song he is referring to - "Candyman" is the song that Li Zhixian was bought by a foreign music company to use the song, he himself has no foreign channels, and he suspected that Zico may have voted for him privately.

Hearing Representative Huang ask about this song, Li Zhixian's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed the purpose of his invitation, but replied in the same tone: "If Representative Huang is referring to "candyman" sung by LizPrimo, the author is indeed me. β€œ

Seeing Li Zhixian admitting, Representative Huang breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone, fortunately he didn't find the wrong person, and when he first contacted the original singing company, the other party told him that the composition of the song was not created by them, and the copyright was not in their hands, and the author was a Korean named JihyunLee.

S.M., which had no information about the person at all, had no information about him other than his email, and the acquisition of the rights came to a standstill.

By chance, an employee of s.m. revealed a message in a chat with Representative Huang, which really pleased him and was very uncertain at the same time: "JihyunLee? Isn't it Li Zhixian? Didn't last year's f(x) and Girls' Generation albums include two songs by Lee Ji Hyun? β€œ

However, as far as he knows, Li Zhixian is just a rookie composer, and it is impossible for him to have any overseas experience, so how can he be involved with foreign music companies?

Could it not be the same person?

With a strong sense of suspicion, Deputy Huang made a call to the phone number left by Li Zhixian a year ago.

After getting Li Zhixian's confirmation, Representative Huang was surprised in his heart, the company saw that he was only a young rookie composer who was easier to bully, so he dared to hack the copyright that should have belonged to him, and he didn't think that he still had works that could be purchased by foreign music companies, did he still have any unknown background?

Hiding his inner thoughts, Representative Huang said in surprise: "It's great to be Zhixian xi!" We've been looking for the author of this song for a long time. I didn't expect it to be Zhixian xi, you, you really have nowhere to find it! Zhixian Xi's composing talent is really so good! β€œ

Li Zhixian didn't take the other party's compliment to heart, after a year of tempering, he was no longer ignorant and ignorant, and he didn't want to bother talking anymore, so he said directly: "It's not the first time I've dealt with each other, Representative Huang doesn't need to be polite, let's make it clear if there is anything." β€œ

If it were an ordinary person, it would have been annoyed and angry, but the cheekiness of the S.M. company is not understandable to ordinary people.

Except for the embarrassment at the beginning, there was not the slightest embarrassment in Representative Huang's tone: "I wonder if Zhixian Xi is willing to transfer the right to use this piece to our S.M. company?" β€œ

Representative Huang finally stated the purpose of the trip, which was completely consistent with Li Zhixian's guess, and sure enough, he fell in love with his works again. Originally, Representative Huang wanted to acquire the complete copyright, but seeing that Li Zhixian's attitude was so resistant, he temporarily changed his words and only proposed to acquire the right to use.

Recalling the last unpleasant experience, Li Zhixian's first reaction was to refuse, no one likes a partner who is not honest, and the rejection in his mind "Ah pinch" has not even made a sound, Li Zhixian's heartstrings are moving: Will this be a chance for me?

took back the unspoken words "ah pinch yo" in his stomach, did not refuse directly, and said in a stiff tone pretending to be strong: "Again? Does Deputy Huang still want me to experience the lessons of last year again? β€œ

When Representative Huang heard this, he hurriedly made a statement: "Zhixian Xi rest assured, there will definitely be no situation like before!" After a pause, he added: "I promise with my personality!" β€œ

"There doesn't seem to be any other convincing reason for S.M. other than stock." Then Li Zhixian changed his words: "But Representative Huang is a good elder." β€œ

Li Zhixian said that after being cheated by the S.M. company, Deputy Huang saw the lost look on Li Zhixian's immature face, thought that he was not a few years older than him, and couldn't bear it, so he privately invited Li Zhixian to a meal and gave him some life advice.

Representative Huang felt a trace of relief in his heart, and sighed that Li Zhixian was really not a person who forgot his roots, and he still remembered his kindness at the beginning, so he changed his mind and said to Li Zhixian: "Then it's better to chat casually with me, an elder." β€œ

Originally, Li Zhixian was moved, and pretended to hesitate: "But...... I still have work in the afternoon. β€œ

Representative Huang instead proposed: "It's okay, it's okay at night, why don't we eat together at night!" β€œ

"Since Representative Huang has said so, it would be too hypocritical for me to shirk it."

"Then let's meet at 6 o'clock in the evening at the gate of Jiangnan S.M. headquarters?" Representative Huang wanted to show his sincerity and specially invited Li Zhixian to dinner in the expensive Jiangnan District, but he was worried that he would not know the location, so he proposed to meet him in front of the S.M. company.

"No problem."

"Then we'll see you in the evening."

"Okay, Representative Huang."

After receiving Li Zhixian's affirmative reply, Deputy Huang took the initiative to hang up the phone.

After Li Zhixian put away the phone, he stood still for a while, constantly matching "Candyman" with the style of S.M.'s artists in his mind, and he came up with the answer in an instant, and he had already guessed which artist S.M. was busy with.

"The reincarnation of history?"
