Chapter 8: The Soul Singer (7)

The next day, Zhou Yin went to the headquarters building of Taimei Entertainment Company and brought Wen Siqi a lingering and sympathetic urban love song as promised.

This song is not his inspiration a few days ago, but the former Wu Tianyu wrote to her ex-boyfriend, director Li Xin.

To be precise, it was Wu Tianyu who quietly wrote the ending song for a film that Li Xin was shooting, and wanted to give it to Li Xin as a gift or a surprise!

It's a pity that Li Xin quickly lost interest in Wu Tianyu later, and the carefully prepared gifts naturally couldn't be sent!

Now she just needs Wen Siqi's help, and this is another female love song, Zhou Yin is not suitable for singing, so he transferred it to Wen Siqi.

Wu Tianyu poured special feelings into this song, and Zhou Yin didn't want his hard work to be buried, so after talking about the cooperation conditions with the two in the office of Wen Siqi's agent, they moved to a practice room on the twelfth floor of the Taimei Company building, sat next to the piano in person, explained while playing, and interpreted the song again.

Wen Siqi and her agent began to glance at each other from time to time after hearing half of it, and their eyes were full of unconcealable joy.

This song continues Wu Tianyu's consistent style of composition, delicate and beautiful, and the characteristic is that there is always a poignant feeling running through the lyrics, sad but not sad, revealing a faint understanding of life.

Melodious and tactful, songs that can also reach this ideological realm can move the audience the most and resonate with them, those who are in love, those who are in love, those who are in love, those who are longing for love, and those who are free and easy............ All kinds of people can find their place in this song!

and then performed by Wen Siqi, a skilled and experienced singer, it is strange if it is not popular!

I didn't expect my luck to be so good this time! Just by chance at the cocktail party, they talked to Wu Tianyu for a few words, and they got such a good song!

=========

Wen Siqi received the 'benefits' to do things, and the next day he helped Zhou Yin make an appointment with Minister Li of the Taimei Audio-Visual Business Development Department.

Zhou Yin went to the appointment on time with his plan and a demo, had a fruitful conversation with Minister Li for 20 minutes, and another 10 minutes to listen on the spot, and when he came out of the Thai-American headquarters building again, he already had a letter of intent for cooperation.

Zhou Yin estimated that things could develop so smoothly, in addition to Wen Siqi's reciprocation, his singing video, which is now popular all over the Internet, also contributed to it.

That video was actually recorded by someone himself, and then in his private capacity, he pretended that it was a video that he inadvertently recorded while attending an event, and because he thought it was amazing, he put it on the Internet to share it with everyone.

This kind of marketing method is very ordinary, and almost all people in the entertainment industry often use it, but because Zhou Yin now has no media help behind him to help him do further hype and promotion, it depends on his personal strength whether it can be spread after being put on the Internet.

This result made Zhou Yin very satisfied, and he became more and more confident, or rather, he was more confident in Wu Tianyu! Wu Tianyu was born for music!

Zhou Yin did not have an assistant to drive him now, and it was impossible for him to call a taxi for the driver to send him home at a constant speed of no higher than 30 kilometers per hour (Zhou Yin suspected that the driver would be driven down after making such a request).

So I had to ride my bike home.

Fortunately, he is engaged in art, and the public is more tolerant of people who engage in art, from dressing up to behavior, as long as they are chic and individual, then it will be considered normal to be different.

Therefore, when Zhou Yin wore a black baseball cap with a low brim and sneakers, he rode a bicycle out of the garage on the ground floor of the Taimei Building and met Wen Siqi and her assistant who were about to leave, and the two greeted Zhou Yin warmly, and no one felt that he was a little cold.

Zhou Yin was free and easy on the surface, but in fact, he was glad to ride away, and it seemed that the matter of finding an assistant was urgent.

Riding all the way, I wondered in my heart whether I should trouble Sister Bao again, and asked her to help find a safe and capable person.

Suddenly, he heard a car behind him keep honking his horn, Zhou Yin's train of thought was interrupted, he frowned and turned around, seeing that it was a low-key black luxury car, the rear window was lowered, revealing an exotic face, and his eyes were under the cover of curled and thick eyelashes to Zhou Yin, and greeted him warmly, "Hi, Wu, we meet again!" ”

Zhou Yin stopped on one foot, "Hey, what a coincidence." ”

Matthew seemed to be very interested in him, simply pushed the car door and walked down, looked Zhou Yin's athleisure style up and down, and praised it, "Wu, every look of yours is very-" After a pause, he changed a sentence in Chinese that was not very accurate, "Beautiful!" ”

Zhou Yin raised his eyebrows, suspecting that he had not figured out the meaning of the word 'beautiful'.

Seeing his disapproval, Matthew changed his tune, "Okay, okay, it's sexy!" ”

Zhou Yin's face was expressionless, "Thank you!" ”

Matthew asked, somewhat innocently, "Is this my statement too blunt and considered rude to you?" ”

Zhou Yin nodded, "Yes." ”

Matthew blinked, and began to confuse the audience, "But I've complimented your ladies here many times in the past few days, from the well-known actors to the hotel service, they are all very happy, and they don't think I'm rude." ”

Zhou Yin still thinks he is like an old fox, in terms of height, he is still a very big fox, the fox looks good, objectively, he is not too old, at most thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and he has a successful career, so he is very attractive.

It's a pity that the fox obviously has impure intentions, and it is not the type that Zhou Yin likes, so he pointed out unceremoniously, "That's different, ladies know very well that your words are just pure politeness and praise." And that's something else to me. ”

Matthew, "I praise you too." Probably because he didn't want to continue the debate, he changed his tone and asked, "Do you know how to get to Lakeview Villa?" It was supposed to be a residential area, and my driver didn't know the road. ”

Zhou Yin was speechless, isn't the Lakeview Villa where his family lives? Matthew is so interested in him? Is this even asking where he lives?

After a moment of silence, he said, "Although it is a little rude, I have to say that you really didn't choose the topic of this accosting you very well. ”

Matthew looked at him strangely, "I'm a foreigner, and I just arrived in Z City, so it's normal to ask for directions here." ”

Zhou Yin, "I live in that residential area!" And we've only met for the second time, so it's normal for you to ask me directly how to get around my home? Besides, no matter how careless the receptionist of Taimei Company is, it is impossible to send you a driver who does not recognize the way, so that you need to get out of the car and ask for directions yourself! Then they are too derelict in their duties! ”

Matthew laughed, "Wu, you're so straightforward and cute!" But it was really a misunderstanding, I didn't know you also lived there, I went to that residential area just to see a friend of mine. But you're right, the driver didn't say he didn't know the road, and I shouldn't question his ability to work. ”

Zhou Yin secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he didn't want to offend Matthew, and he didn't quite understand what the other party had taken a fancy to him? It stands to reason that with Matthew's worth and Tai Mei's solemn hospitality to him, it is not a problem for him to find two beautiful boys here, and there is no need to keep an eye on himself.

If it's a misunderstanding, that's right.

So I politely apologized.

Matthew waved his hand generously, and before getting into the car, he invited again, "I'll have a private party at the temporary residence next Saturday, and you can come too." ”

Zhou Yin still smiled politely, but did not agree.

After Matthew got into the car, the car turned around and left, saying that he was going to Lakeview Yashu, but he was not in the same direction as Zhou Yin, Zhou Yin was too lazy to care, and continued to ride home.

After entering the door, I was very happy to find that Sister Bao, who he was planning to contact, did not take the initiative to come, and Mai Chengyue, the little fresh meat who would not come back until after dark every day, came back early today for some reason, and was taking the initiative to cook pasta and boil tomato beef sauce in the spacious and bright open kitchen downstairs.

Sister Bao looked envious, sitting at the dining table watching Mai Chengyue prepare dinner neatly and skillfully, and felt that the appearance of a young and handsome little man cooking in an apron was really eye-catching!

She had heard her cousin talk about Mai Chengyue's origin, and couldn't help nagging Zhou Yin, "You are so lucky, you can hit such a good tenant when you go out and get out of the car!" It's like me, last year, I accidentally rubbed into a jeep next to me while driving, and as a result, a strong man with a big face and a thick face jumped out of the car, and he roared so much that he almost deafened my ears! "It's very embarrassing.

Zhou Yin laughed, "Since you rubbed into someone's car, there is no way to be told a few words, so you can only endure it." ”

Sister Bao, "Yes, that's why I envy you." As he spoke, his eyes were still glued to Mai Chengyue's body, and he praised him, "It's so good, beautiful, civilized, and can cook!" ”

Zhou Yin was speechless, and wanted to tell her, this is the first time Xiao Xianrou has cooked, and it just happened to be bumped into by you, I used to do it!

But although I thought so, I also sat down side by side with Sister Bao and admired the eye-catching appearance of Xiao Xianrou cooking in an apron.

Mai Chengyue's personality is much calmer than that of people of the same age, with them praising and commenting on the side, unmoved, methodically stirring the tomato sauce, after a while the timer on the table jingled, the pasta was cooked, he took out three snow-white flat bottom plates, divided the cooked pasta into three parts, circled into a neat round shape, poured the sauce and served on the table, there was already a large pot of fresh and tender vegetable salad on the table, completely Western-style.

Zhou Yin was almost moved when he looked at the delicious dinner in front of him, and almost wanted to take a photo with the pasta, except for his mother (and Wu Tianyu's mother), no one else would cook for him like this, and then it was brought to him hotly, and he raised his head and gave Mai Chengyue a deep smile, "Thank you!" ”

Mai Chengyue took off her apron, threw it aside very handsomely, and said generously, "It's nothing, you're welcome, I happened to come back early today, how about you taste it?" ”

He was about to sit down to eat together when his phone rang.

Mai Chengyue picked up the phone, frowned after a few words, hung up the phone after a few more words, and apologized to the two, "I can't have dinner with you, a friend came to see me, I have to go out." ”

When he walked out and passed behind Zhou Yin, he suddenly leaned over beside him and asked, "Isn't it too salty?" ”

Zhou Yin felt that his slightly hot breath was spraying directly in his ears, I don't know if it was a preconceived idea in his heart, he always thought that the little fresh meat was fresh and pleasant, so he obviously didn't see Mai Chengyue chewing gum just now, and he also felt that his breath had a little mint aroma, and his back was a little stiff, "It's not salty, it's just right, it tastes great!" "This is not a kind word, Mai Chengyue's craftsmanship is really good.

Mai Chengyue got a little closer, almost touching Zhou Yin's face, "Let me taste it." ”

Zhou Yin naturally rolled the noodles with the fork in his hand and sent them into his mouth.

Mai Chengyue didn't mind tasting the pasta with Zhou Yin's fork, feeling the taste carefully, and nodding to himself, "Well, it's okay." He said to Zhou Yin again, "The song you sang to me last night was very beautiful, can you sing it again tonight?" ”

Zhou Yin let go backwards, trying not to be too ambiguous between the two, thinking that I didn't sing it specifically for you, but I was bumped into by you when I was practicing songs. But to Mai Chengyue's bright and eager eyes, his answer was to be, "I've been practicing every night lately, if you want to listen, you can come to my studio on the second floor, and it will be better for me to have an audience member next to me to give advice." ”

Mai Chengyue happily agreed, took his coat and went out.

Zhou Yin ate most of the plate of pasta with his head bored before suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, shook his head, and tried not to think about it too much.

Mai Chengyue was too tender for him, and he didn't want to be the old cow that gnawed the tender grass. And although a little fresh meat like Mai Chengyue is young, he is delicious and juicy and also has the characteristics of indefinite and fickle, and he is a very stubborn and serious person who is emotionally stubborn and serious and can't be provoked, so it's better to appreciate it.

Sister Bao didn't care too much about the interaction between the two, she just enjoyed eating a delicious dinner, probably thinking that men were all arrogant, and accidentally using the wrong fork and the like was really a trivial matter, and it was not worth making a fuss.

For the next period of time, Zhou Yin felt that it was rare to see Shun lì in everything he did.

First, Sister Bao found a down-to-earth and steady assistant, and then promised that if Zhou Yin really wants to develop in the music industry, then she can come to be an economic person.

And Taimei Company is a place that pays great attention to efficiency, coupled with Zhou Yin's own high standards, so it only took three days to complete the recording part of the single, and the remix version was almost synchronously completed, and then this new song was pushed into the new song charts of major music channels non-stop. At the same time, the promotion of major entertainment networks and social networks has also been launched, and editors of several mainstream media have published music reviews.

Zhou Yin chose one song as Wu Tianyu's first song to enter the music scene as a singer.

The melody is still Wu Tianyu's best style, tactful and melodious and far-reaching. The lyrics are sung in the voice of a lovelorn man to his former lover, who is drifting away. The beautiful lover is like a bright star, yearning and unreachable, and the man can only sing his infinite affection and hopeless expectation for her with a heartfelt singing voice.

On the surface, this is singing about a man's nostalgia for his old lover, but in fact, it is Wu Tianyu's inner monologue written to himself after Li Xin proposed to break up.

The whole song is full of melancholy and strong to desperate affection, and at first, the producers on the Thai and American sides did not approve of using this song, thinking that it would not be pleasing enough to be too sad, but Zhou Yin immediately changed his mind after singing it live with piano accompaniment.

The greatest charm of art is that it can resonate with the soul of the audience! It may be an exaggeration to say that the resonance of the soul is, but to put it simply, art must have the power to move people's hearts.

Wu Tianyu only used one instrument to play a simple accompaniment, and after singing it like a cappella for a few minutes, it made his eyes sour and sour in the eyes of a person who was completely evaluated from a commercial point of view, and it is self-evident what kind of artistic appeal is contained in this song!

The makers dare to vouch for their reputation, and this song will definitely be at the top of the major charts after it is released!

As a result, in just a few days, it has been ranked in the top ten on the hottest new song list of the largest xx network in China.

Wu Tianyu's name was remembered and hotly discussed again, but this time it was no longer a blatant ridicule and true or false regret, but all surprises and praises! All kinds of comments and exclamations finally turned into one sentence: Wow! It turns out that he sings so well!

Immediately after, the recording of the MV was also in full swing. This is actually a bit unconventional in terms of procedure, but Taimei Entertainment's consistent purpose is efficiency first, and the concept of time is very strong, since the song is ready-made, and Wu Tianyu can sing it perfectly, it is natural to make the part that can be done as quickly as possible, and only then start to find someone to do MV creativity while recording, arrange directors, rival actors, and arrange studios.

Taimei Entertainment was worried that the recording of the MV would be difficult for Wu Tianyu, a layman, so a very experienced director was specially arranged, and a relatively young rookie actress was also arranged for the rivalry to avoid the woman acting too well and setting off Wu Tianyu too bluntly.

As a result, no one expected that Wu Tianyu, who had never been in contact with the camera, would be so talented! When facing the camera, he is more calm and free than playing the piano and singing, and the shooting of the MV is almost as smooth as the incredible Cheng dΓΉ.

After putting on a well-fitting suit, applying a soft complexion, strengthening the contours of the face, and brightening the eyebrows, Wu Tianyu can instantly transform into a personable melancholy prince in front of the camera, affectionate and handsome, noble and forbearing, the charm index is rising, and the young actress is also very into the play, no need to blush, as long as you look at him affectionately for a while, you can blush naturally.

The MV director filmed almost with surprise, and he could already conclude that this MV with Wu Tianyu's moving lyrics and songs would achieve what kind of results would be achieved after the release. If nothing else, it is certain that he can add a lot of weight to his work resume.

It's just that everyone never expected that such a smooth shooting would come to an abrupt end on the third day, and the upper authorities suddenly stopped shooting, and the resumption time was to be determined.

Zhou Yin only learned the news after arriving at the studio in the morning, and hurriedly went to the director to ask what was going on, but was stopped halfway by a man in his twenties who wore glasses, and the glasses introduced themselves, "I am Xiao Zhou in the office of President Chen, and Wang Tezhu said that Mr. Chen is looking for you and asked me to pick you up and take you to his office." ”

Zhou Yin is inexplicable, the Chen in everyone's mouth is Chen Shujie, the big boss of Taimei Entertainment, because he is in charge of a huge entertainment media company with complicated affairs, Chen Shujie is very grand to equip himself with a whole team of secretaries, I heard that there are dozens of people. Wang Tezhu is Chen Shujie's right-hand man, who has worked hard with him for many years, and is the director of the boss's secretary's office, and this bespectacled Xiao Zhou should be one of the many secretaries in Chen Shujie's secretary team. He is now only cooperating with Taimei to release a single, which is really a small thing for this huge entertainment company, and I don't see that even Minister Li of the audio-visual business department will no longer show up after talking to him about it, and will only be sent to the people below, Chen Shujie, a character standing at the top of the pyramid, remembered something, and asked Wang Tezhu to send someone to find him?

Looking at the studio that was suddenly in a state of shutdown, Zhou Yin had a faint bad premonition in his heart.

Taking Secretary Zhou's car back to the Taimei Company building, Zhou Yin was dizzy. Xiao Zhou didn't take his repeated requests to drive slower seriously at first, and the car was still driving fast until Zhou Yin covered his mouth and retched a few times, afraid that he would vomit in his car.

I didn't dare to step on the accelerator and brake indiscriminately, and insisted on returning to the company all the way with great care. When he arrived at the place, Zhou Yin's face was already pale and his feet were soft.

I can't find a place to rest first, so I have to go to Chen Shujie's office immediately.

Secretary Zhou reluctantly told him that the boss's daily schedule is very tight, and if he misses the meeting time reserved for him, it is very likely that he will have to wait until the evening, and he may not be able to wait! Because Chen Shujie often has social arrangements at night.

Zhou Yin can't help it, the MV recording is the focus of all his careers in recent times; And for Taimei Company, it is just a trivial matter, not to mention stopping for a few days, it probably doesn't matter if it stops for a few months. It is clear who is on both sides of them who is going to catch up and who is going to catch up.

So I had to make a white face, gritted my teeth and insisted, and followed Secretary Zhou to the boss's office area on the top floor.

Chen Shujie's office is very luxuriously decorated, very classy, occupying an entire floor on the top floor, in addition to his own large office, there is also a meeting area, and the secretary team office area, and even a leisure and entertainment area with a pool table.

Zhou Yin didn't have the strength to look more, so he followed Secretary Zhou straight to Chen Shujie's office.

Secretary Zhou knocked on the heavy solid wood door first, and only after getting a response from inside did he gently push the door open, and went in to report, "Mr. Chen, Wu Tianyu is here." ”

A deep voice came from inside, "Please let him in." ”

Chen Shujie's voice is low and powerful, with a sense of heaviness, which is very good. Zhou Yin was shocked when he heard it, and he felt that this voice was seven or eight points similar to Shen Jialing's.

The conditioned reflex is the same, and the whole body begins to hurt, not only in the heart, but also in the place where the face has been beaten hard!

Under the low urging of Secretary Wu, he stepped inside, went in to take a look, and found that as he expected, it was very spacious, the furnishings were low-key and luxurious, and Chen Shujie was sitting behind a desk that was very large and expensive at first glance.

Chen Shujie's appearance is cold, with a very tough and rough manhood, and Shen Jialing's kind of arrogant, stallion, and scum (Zhou Yin recently added a few specific titles to him) has to be maintained and dressed like a human, and the oily and slippery image is huge, after Zhou Yin saw his face clearly, his whole body began to slowly relax, but he didn't have the strength to speak.

Chen Shujie saw Zhou Yin walking in very sluggishly, he didn't even straighten his waist, and he was slightly hunched back, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, he looked down on people who cowered the most! It was still a little bit like a little bit at the cocktail party that night, but today it was like a different person. I wonder what he took a look at him?

casually pointed to the chair opposite, motioned for Zhou Yin to sit down, and said straight to the point, "I made people pause your MV shooting, and there is a qiΔ“ promotion activity about you." ”

Zhou Yin was a little more energetic, looked at him and asked, "Why?" I have a cooperation agreement with Taimei, and you will be liable for breach of contract if you unilaterally stop working without reason. ”

Chen Shujie hooked the corners of his mouth, "Really?" If you sign this agreement in accordance with the rules and in line with the work process of Taimei, then I will indeed be liable for breach of contract! But if it is unruly, or even bribed, it is another story. Taking a step back, even if you still think that Taimei is in breach of contract and want to sue us, then I have the best team of lawyers waiting for you at any time, and the chances of winning the case are almost negligible. ”

Zhou Yin frowned, knowing that a character like Chen Shujie was not something he could afford to provoke at all! "Can you ask why? Why is that? I don't think that such a small thing as recording and releasing a single is also worth asking about by Mr. Chen personally. I really don't remember sinning against you. Or if I have done something before, I have been negligent and have not paid attention, if there is, Mr. Chen, you can just say it, as long as it is my fault, I will apologize. ”

Chen Shujie nodded, "It seems that you are an understanding person, and you are also happy." Then I'll get straight to the point. I don't appreciate the fact that you went to pick up Minister Li through GuΓ² Wen Siqi, but it is indeed as you said, it is not worth asking me personally, I would have asked the following people to directly remove your project, or you sign another contract to work for Taimei in exchange. Matthew came to me though, and I had to change my plans. ”

Zhou Yin felt a pang in his heart, and said that Chen Shujie's methods were tough, and he didn't rub sand in his eyes, which was really the case.

Chen Shujie continued, "You also know that Taimei is going to cooperate with Matthew on a large-scale zuΓ² film, and this project has been in contact with planning since a year ago, which is very important, accounting for almost 60% of Taimei's investment next year, only success and failure are allowed!" We are in need of Matthew's skills and experience, so he must be hospitable and attentive when he comes to Z City this time, so that he can see our sincerity. ”

Zhou Yin's bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger, "So-? ”

Chen Shujie suddenly smiled, "Actually, it's nothing, you know that Matthew is a Frenchman, French, he will always pursue some romance and excitement in addition to satisfying his own desires/hopes, obviously some of our hospitality can't satisfy him, he asks you by name!" ”

Zhou Yin's eyes hardened, "I'm sorry, I don't sell!" ”

Chen Shujie waved his hand, "Don't be too excited, Matthew is still a very personable person, he means that he hopes that you can accompany him as a close friend during his stay in Z City." ”

Zhou Yin asked, "I'm just a major music creator, and I'm in my thirties, there are so many young rookies in Taimei, all of them are better than me, and there must be many people who are willing to take the initiative to accompany Matthew, why don't you arrange two like this for Matthew?" ”

Chen Shujie made no secret that he couldn't figure it out, "Don't think I'm deliberately embarrassing for you, it's Matthew who doesn't want to, he has a lot of knowledge in this area, so he is more picky." As for why he has to take a fancy to you? To be honest, I don't know. Chong Zhouyin lifted his chin, squinted his eyes to examine his face, and continued, "And has reservations about Matthew's vision in this regard." ”

The difference in strength between the two is too great, Zhou Yin's arrogant attitude towards Chen Shujie and even a trace of disdain to hide the slightest disregard can only scold in his heart, take a deep breath, endure it, and confirm, "Just accompany Matthew as a friend?" No more strings attached? ”

Chen Shujie said lightly, "That's what Matthew said, I just conveyed it as it was, and I can't guarantee anything." My request is that you, as the reception staff on the Thai side, should 100% ensure that Matthew has a pleasant trip! As for the method you want, you can do whatever you want. As long as you have the ability to make him happy, even if it's just drinking tea and chatting together, I won't interfere much. He didn't want to waste too much time talking about this, and urged, "You make a decision, and if you agree, you can continue with your music video shoot and other scheduled promotional activities; If you don't agree, you can dispel the idea of mixing in the music scene in the past two years and go do something else. The implication is that the Thai and American associations will ban a work about Wu Tianyu.

Zhou Yin fixed his gaze at the tall man in the lazy posture opposite, leaning on a large leather seat at will, under the relaxed appearance was a lion ready to go, dangerous and fierce, domineering and domineering, it was impossible to avoid him, only to face the difficulties!

After almost five minutes, Zhou Yin heard his calm voice, "Okay, I agree!" ”
