Chapter 23: Polygram's Invitation

"Applejack, wait for me, why are you walking so fast?" Wang Jing caught up with Chen Jie and said.

There was no way, Wang Tianlin was in a hurry to film, and he was busy until 7 o'clock before finishing work. It was already 8 o'clock after Chen Jie helped clean up the drama. He's going to sing at a night bar! So he ran out like a gallop. Unexpectedly, he heard Wang Jing call him just a few steps away.

"Brother Xiang, why are you not going home here?" Chen Jie asked.

"Wait for you, did you say I wanted you to drink! Walk my car over there. Wang Jing said.

Chen Jie originally wanted to refuse, after all, he still had to go to the bar to sing, but after hearing Wang Jing say that he had a car, Chen Jie agreed, "In that case, let's go to the night." Brother Xiang, hurry up! ”

"What's the hurry!" Wang Jing said with a smile.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm running late." Chen Jie urged Wang Jing along the way.

"I said Applejack, you're almost a hypist." Wang Jing complained.

As soon as Wang Jing's car arrived near the night bar, before it could stop, Chen Jie rushed out and shouted to Wang Jing as he ran, "I'll go in first." ”

Wang Jing scolded Chen Jie, and after parking the car, he also walked into the bar. After Wang Jing entered the bar, he was looking around for Chen Jie to sit there. I searched for a long time and didn't find it, and I was complaining that I didn't know where Chen Jie died, but at this time Chen Jie appeared on the stage.

After Wang Jing discovered Chen Jie, he remembered that Chen Jie was still the god of night songs! I wasn't in a hurry, I ordered a bottle of beer and started talking to beautiful women.

"I'm sorry, I'm late today. Please forgive me! As compensation, I gave you a new song. After speaking, Chen Jie began to talk about the guitar.

Pride in the face of ten thousand waves

The blood is like the red sun

Courage is like iron and bones are like steel

Thousands of minds and long visions

I work hard to be a good man

Be a good man and be self-reliant every day

Hot-blooded men shine brighter than the sun

Chen Jie's singing once again won the applause of the customers in the bar. Wang Jing, who was busy picking up girls, was no exception, he had just heard that there was a singer in the night bar, and today he heard Chen Jie sing for the first time Wang Jing had to admit that Chen Jie's singing voice was indeed very infectious.

After "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", Chen Jie sang seven more songs, and did not come off the stage until about 10 o'clock.

Chen Jie, who came out of the backstage, found that Wang Jing was chatting happily with a beautiful woman. Just stepped forward to tease Wang Jing a few words. Li Feng led a middle-aged man over.

"Applejack, this Mr. Yang has been waiting for you here all night!" Li Feng said.

Chen Jie looked at Li Feng, stepped forward and shook hands with Mr. Yang and said, "Hello Mr. Yang, I don't know what Mr. Yang is looking for me?" ”

"It's a good thing that Mr. Yang is looking for you! I've got you left an empty table, so let's go there and have a drink and talk. Li Feng said.

Chen Jie and the two of them came to the empty platform and did it. Li Feng asked the two to open a bottle of red wine and gave it to the two of them, and after two glasses, the three of them touched the glass and took a sip of wine, and Mr. Yang spoke.

"Hello Mr. Chen, my name is Yang Tianyou. is the production director of PolyGram. I have been observing Mr. Chen for a while, and Mr. Chen is not only beautiful, but also has a magnetic voice. What's even more rare is that Mr. Chen also knows how to create, and as far as I know, all the songs that Mr. Chen sings at night are all composed by himself. In addition to today's song, Mr. Chen has composed 11 songs before and after. I was amazed by Mr. Chen's talent, and said that I am here today to extend an invitation to Mr. Chen on behalf of PolyGram Records. I hope Mr. Chen can join us at Polygram Records. ”

"Mr. Yang and Brother Feng just call me Ajie. I am really happy about your company's support, which is a personal affirmation of me. I am also very excited to join your company, after all, PolyGram is a world-renowned record company, but I still want to hear what kind of treatment your company gives me? Chen Jie said.

"Applejack, we PolyGram are very sincere to you, after all, you have been singing at night for so long and have some stage experience, and you are now a little famous in Hong Kong. The fame of the night singer has been beaten, so our company will not treat you like a newcomer. We have prepared a signing fee of 500,000 yuan for you, and a 20% bonus on the record, I don't know if you are satisfied with such conditions Ajie? Yang Tianyou said.

Yang Tianyou's conditions for expelling Chen Jie are also good, although the signing fee is a little less, but the record bonus is definitely a lot, and the average singer's record bonus is only between 5% and 15%. At this time, the highest dividend in Xiangjiang is Teresa Teng with 50%, followed by Xu Guanjie with 40% and Tan Yonglin with 35%. At this time, the price of a collection of music in the music world ranged from about 60-80 Hong Kong dollars, in addition to the sale of tapes, although the sound quality is not as good as that of records, but it is cheaper and generally between 13-20 Hong Kong dollars.

Chen Jie pondered for a while and said, "The treatment is really good, but I have a few conditions, if your company agrees, I am willing to sign a contract with your company." ”

"What conditions to say and listen." Yang Tianyou said.

"Brother Yang may not know that I am a student of this year's wireless artist training class, so even if I sign a contract with your company, I will not have a lot of time to make announcements and promote like other singers. Also, my records only record songs that I wrote myself. Also, I don't want my life to be restricted. Chen Jie said.

"There is no problem at all in the last two points, as for the first point, Ajie is not I said you, you are just a student, if you really like acting, you can think of Xu Guanjie and Tan Yonglin, when you become famous, someone will naturally invite you to act. There's no need to waste time on this now, you are so talented in music, you should seize the time to make your name famous, I am very optimistic about you, I believe that you will be the next Xu Guanjie in less than two years. Yang Tianyou said.

"Brother Yang, you don't know much about my situation, when I was in the most difficult time, it was Sister Zhi who recommended me to the training class. In addition, Sir Zhong in the training class is also very good to me, and I have some friends around me. was appreciated by Uncle Tianlin and transferred to work beside him. If I'm gone now, I'm sorry for so many people's concern. I'm even more sorry for my own conscience. So I'm not leaving, at least not in this form now. Chen Jie said.

Yang Tianyou was shocked by Chen Jie's words, but he didn't expect that the young man in front of him, who was about 20 years old, could say such profound words.

"Applejack is right, he deserves to be my good brother." At this time, Wang Jing walked over and said.

It turned out that Wang Jing didn't come to him for half a day after seeing Chen Jie finish singing, and finally gave up picking up the girl and began to find Chen Jie. After seeing Chen Jie here, he hurriedly came over to complain about Chen Jie, but he didn't expect to hear what Chen Jie said when he walked to Chen Jie's side. I couldn't help but say excitedly.

"Brother Xiang, why are you here, don't pick up girls!" Chen Jie teased Wang Jing and said.

"When can't you soak it? But Applejack, you don't hear that every day. Wang Jing said with a smile.

Chen Jie smiled and introduced Wang Jing, "Brother Feng, this is Wang Jing, the director of "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", a friend I just met today. Brother Xiang, this is Li Feng, the boss of the night. This is Yang Tianyou, the production director of PolyGram. ”

After saying hello to the two, Wang Jing said to Applejack dissatisfiedly, "Applejack, what do you mean by just met today, although we just met today." But we hit it off at first sight, and you are the one who knows me best. ”

"Brother Xiang, don't be so sensual, okay! If you misunderstand what is between the two of us, you will die! Chen Jie said jokingly.

After listening to Chen Jie's words, Wang Jing hurriedly moved his body to the side and said jokingly, "I'm sure I'm normal, as for you, I don't know." ”

Chen Jie pointed at Wang Jing with black lines on his head: "Brother Xiang, you are like this, I don't mind letting you gain two laps!" After speaking, he clenched his fist in front of Wang Jing and made a gaba sound.

"Just kidding, don't take it so seriously." Seeing this, Wang Jing hurriedly said with a smile.
