Chapter Twenty-Nine: Alright
In 1996, Song Ke invested 200,000 yuan in his younger brother Gao Xiaosong's album "Youth Without Regrets", and finally earned about 500,000 yuan. In 2002, when the CRBT business was still in the test stage of China Mobile's operators, Taihe Maitian produced China's first CRBT and began to experiment with digital music.
Hu Yifei is indeed lonely, and he is still thinking about what agent to find, and now only this kind of powerful faction can operate digital music in these days, but I don't want agency websites at all levels to emerge in an endless stream in a few years.
Song Ke didn't bend either, and after briefly introducing Taihe Maitian's digital music plan, he immediately clicked on the topic and asked: "Ah Fei, don't tell me that you are really not interested in being a singer, if it is because of academic problems, it is easy to solve." We have set up a newcomer training department in Maitian, your appearance and skills are great, I am very optimistic about you, are you interested in being a signed singer of our company? β
Since the original wheat field broke up with Gao Xiaosong, it has become today's Taihe wheat field, but in fact, it has not developed much. In 2000, Mai Tian cooperated with Warner Records to form Warner Mai Tian, which has many first-line stars including Pu Shu, Sun Lan, Zhou Xun and so on.
The times are changing, and they also urgently need new forces to join, so they usually get rid of Chen Xi and pay more attention to good seedlings.
Inviting Hu Yifei is, in his opinion, a sure thing. No young person can resist the temptation of being a star, let alone the temptation of a wandering singer to sign a contract with an official company to release an album.
It's a pity that he ran into Hu Yifei, and his wishful thinking was destined to be broken.
To his surprise, Hu Yifei did not immediately agree, but asked rhetorically: "How many years of contract do you sign, and how much is it divided into?" β
Song Kedao: "The eight-year singer contract can give you 10% during the newcomer period, and you can also keep the copyright of the songs you create." β
Hu Yifei shook his head: "It's too long, I'm ...... it too." The ambition is not here. β
A newcomer is young and young, can become a signed singer, and the favor and support of a company BOSS like him, this is something that many people can't dream of, you still dislike it, yes, he really dislikes it!
Song Ke is not angry, young people will always have some dreams that are far away, which are all unrealistic. He directly ignored Hu Yifei's sentence "The ambition is not here", thinking that Hu Yifei did not understand the difficulties of cultivating a newcomer when he first entered the society, and explained in detail: "The shortest contract is also five years, but only a well-known singer can sign a five-year contract, and a newcomer like you who needs to spend a lot of effort to train is at least eight years, I am ready to take you as the focus to cultivate, and many resources will be poured into you." Of course, we are not unsatisfied, if you are already popular, even if the newcomer contract will definitely be modified with it, but you are still only a newcomer. β
What he said was the truth, Hu Yifei's appearance is much stronger than those singers in his company, although powerful singers don't pay much attention to appearance, if they have a good appearance and strength, they will get twice the result with half the effort. Today's most popular idol singers, Xie Tingfeng and Zhou Capricorn's examples can be placed there, and he is also envious.
Hu Yifei smiled and said: "In this case, I still hope to cooperate with your company on digital music, but I still want to thank Mr. Song for your care." β
Song Ke felt that his ears had heard it wrong, he was telling the truth in his heart, but he didn't have any deception. In his imagination, Hu Yifei would dance happily when he heard the news, and at least he would happily say "think about it", but he never expected Hu Yifei to refuse!
-- It's so thorough.
Seeing Song Ke's mouth open in disbelief, Hu Yifei lowered his head and said, "Mr. Song, I have failed your love." I wrote these three songs on a whim, and I didn't want them to be buried, so I recorded them. Being a professional singer is really not my ideal. β
Song Ke's kindness was rejected, to be honest, he was indeed a little angry, but more than that, he couldn't cry or laugh. He has always been a person who has seen the world, and he thinks about it, thinking that maybe he is attacking too fiercely. He is also thirsty for talent, after all, he just met, Hu Yifei doesn't know the situation in the circle, and he doesn't know Hu Yifei very well, maybe it's really like Hu Yifei said, he wrote these three songs on a whim, can he continue to write excellent works after that?
Although he felt a pity, he didn't want to let it go, but comforted: "Ah Fei, don't refuse so thoroughly." Maybe we all lack understanding, let's get in touch with each other and then make a decision. Let's start with these three songs, so that you can learn more about things in the circle. β
Hu Yifei touched his chin, it was not easy to refuse, after all, there was still cooperation, "It's okay." β
Hu Yifei was not greedy, and Song Ke also showed his heart, and the negotiation went very smoothly. Taihe Wheat Field is also in the experimental stage of digital music, and the 50% revenue share is very reasonable.
The two sides negotiated, and the banquet suddenly made a little cheerful.
With the help of wine, Song Ke also wanted to test whether Hu Yifei's level was true or false, don't let himself be blind, and said tentatively: "Ah Fei, Na Yin also invited you to sing just now, although there were some jokes, they were also interrupted by Chen Xi. However, she is now popular, and the 10,000-person concert in the magic capital in January caused a sensation in the entire circle. In the past few years, it has also been her luck, and she is in the limelight. If you really have a good song and she likes it, I think it will be good for you. β
He knows these young singer-songwriters too well, and he must have a lot of inventory on his hands, even if it is semi-finished products, scrap products, and maybe some that are not suitable for him to sing.
When Hu Yifei heard this, he was silent for a moment, and looked out the window, "I want to think about ......"
Song Ke was slightly stunned, is there really one? A little anticipation rose in my heart.
Hu Yifei stared out the window blankly, holding his chin in his hand, like a statue. Outside the window, I don't know when it has been drizzling, the night is falling, and the pedestrians who get off work are weaving, hurrying by, hurrying by, strangers to each other, and never looking at each other when they pass by. A working girl, hurriedly stepping on high heels, was touched by a pedestrian, and the document bags in her hand suddenly fluttered, and a rain of A4 paper fell. Some people listened to the footsteps to help her pick it up, and some people passed by silently.
The grandmother took her granddaughter's hand and slowly crossed the street, chattering a few words from time to time.
The little three-wheeled uncle who sells goods, wearing a raincoat, is not afraid of the rain at all, and his feet suddenly appear in the field of vision and disappear quietly.
It's a lonely world, a lonely city. Hu Yifei is in this city, only with a drop of raindrops in the sky, and maybe there is that familiar person in a certain place. Two hearts in a lonely city, two people in a lonely city, can they really meet each other by chance, and can they still be as close as ever when they meet? In a small mountain town, I don't think that in a big city now, even a drop of thick soup will be diluted into soup.
Thinking about it, I gradually had the answer in my heart.
I took out my backpack, took out a stack of music score paper, and took out a pen from the side and spread it out on the table. Song Ke's eyes lit up, and he took the initiative to help clean up the tableware on the table.
"Walk and Walk and Disperse", this is a theme song that was released more than ten years later. There are male versions and female versions, compared with the male version, the female version of Zhuang Xinyan's singing made Hu Yifei more impressed, and it was also a smash hit that year.
"I am used to looking for your shadow in the crowd, thinking back to those happy days, but in fact, I understand that I am far, far away from the former me. Two hearts in a lonely world, everyone in a lonely city ......"
Hu Yifei kept writing, humming from time to time. Song Ke waited quietly on the side, without the slightest impatience, and he quietly stopped the waiter halfway to settle the bill, so as not to let Hu Yifei be disturbed. There were many guests passing by, looking at the two of them strangely. Doing your homework in a restaurant, weirdo?
"That's it!" Hu Yifei finally put down the pen, "I'll sing it again, if Mr. Song thinks it's feasible, he will talk about anything else." β
"Good! I'm looking forward to it. β
Hu Yifei hummed softly, no one cared at first, but after typing in the realm, the surrounding tables suddenly quieted down, and even the sound of chewing stopped.
ββ¦β¦
Some people walked and walked and scattered
Some things fade when you look at them
How much unhappiness no one can understand
There is so much helplessness and reluctance
Some people think about it and forget it
Some dreams wake up as they do
Only to realize that I was too naΓ―ve in the past
The reality is so cruel
