Chapter 7: The Soul Singer (6)
Matthew smiled slyly like an old fox, "No, no, what does this have to do with me being a director and you being a musician?" I thought you were attracted to my handsomeness! As he spoke, he also used his exotic eyes and extra-long thick eyelashes to power Zhou Yin.
Zhou Yin was so shocked by him that he touched his arm, while feeling that Matthew was too sophisticated and sleek, not his own dish, and at the same time he was more sure that Matthew was also the same kind.
Seemingly unintentionally, he asked, "Which one do you admire more, Wendy Μ Kim or Botram Μ Houston?" "A woman and a man, both of them are popular movie stars in the West, and they are the best among handsome men and beauties.
Matthew didn't hesitate to choose the man, "Houston, of course!" After a pause, he smiled and added, "From a sexually touching point of view." He asked, "What about you?" Which one do you admire more? β
Zhou Yin understood and reciprocated with the same cunning, "Wendy Μ Kim, from the point of view of the performing arts. β
Matthew smiled, took a glass of champagne from the tray of the waiter passing by and handed it to Zhou Yin, quietly changing the subject, "Tell me about your beautiful countryside decades ago." Wu, tell me about the big trees outside the village, the small river, the loess road, the old ox cart, and the cute girl who will run behind the car! I can almost imagine her in the same old red cotton jacket that you used to wear, with two big braids, laughing and running. That's the most interesting thing I've heard tonight! β
Zhou Yin reminded, "The cute girl you said is my great-grandmother. β
Matthew concluded, "She must have been an energetic young girl at that time." β
Zhou Yin shrugged, "Okay." β
=========
As Zhou Yin struggled to describe to Matthew the countryside decades ago in English, which certainly didn't have a native vocabulary, Chen Shujie, the boss of Taimei Entertainment, who accompanied Matthew, also ended a few simple conversations with Sister Bao and turned to them with a polite smile.
Chen Shujie, the head of Taimei Entertainment, is a legend in the industry and a recognized business wizard. At the age of 20, he began to get involved in the entertainment industry, almost from scratch, and founded Taimei Entertainment Company, which took more than ten years to steadily expand to today's scale.
For a long time, the domestic entertainment industry has shown a three-legged trend, with the three senior entertainment companies of Xinxing, Huanyu and Yalong each occupying almost one-third of the market, and other small companies are firmly suppressed, and it is difficult to form a climate scale.
But Taimei is like a dark horse full of stamina, since the early days of its establishment, it has shown strong vitality and innovative consciousness, and has maintained an astonishing growth rate for more than ten years, from a small company to a high-yield film and television drama company, and then two years ago, reliable third-party statistics show that it has steadily accounted for half of the entertainment industry, and the three of Xinxing, Huanyu, and Yalong can only work together to support the other half to compete with it.
With such an extraordinary past and outstanding achievements, Chen Shujie, the CEO of Thailand and the United States, is naturally not a light relationship.
After he came over politely and detached and interjected a few words from above, Zhou Yin knew that there was no play! The only person Chen Shujie is looking at is Matthew.
It's easy to understand that tonight's cocktail party was originally organized by Taimei Entertainment to entertain Matthew, an internationally renowned director who came from afar. I heard that Chen Shujie intends to cooperate with Matthew on a large-scale zuΓ² film, and it is expected that the huge investment will be unprecedented in the history of the domestic film industry.
Only such a big project can make the CEO of Taimei personally go out to deal with it.
And Wu Tianyu is just an outdated musician, just singing a beautiful song on the spot is not enough to impress a character of Chen Shujie's level, pay special attention to it - to pay attention to the director of the audio-visual career development department under him, and even the talent scout.
Zhou Yin was very interested in not taking the lead, and after a while, he took advantage of the two of them to talk about other topics and quietly left with a wine glass, and after walking around, he naturally stopped in front of Wen Siqi, and nodded cordially like all acquaintances who meet in social situations, "Long time no see, Anqi, tonight's song is very good!" I didn't expect you to add a crying singing method to the last stanza, and it works so well! What a rarity! β
Wen Siqi was a little surprised,
She was born in singing love songs, and she has been singing love songs since she became famous, and she has been singing the same style for many years.
But Wen Siqi can't change and innovate her style lightly, not because she doesn't want to, but because she doesn't dare to try! Not everyone has the courage to face failure! Especially for those who already have a certain career foundation.
So Wen Siqi had no choice but to turn around and work on his singing skills and skills. But the listener is not a music judge after all, and her ears are not so fine, and she often can't tell that she sings more mellow this time than last time, and her ventilation is one eighth beat ahead of schedule.
Therefore, Wen Siqi always feels that his path as a singer is getting narrower and narrower, and he is getting more and more tired, paying a lot and practicing hard, but the response he gets is almost negligible. At this time, I suddenly heard Zhou Yin's praise, and couldn't help but be happy: my efforts are still effective, even if the fans can't find it in time very accurately, but the expert can hear it as soon as he hears it.
He replied politely with a smile, "Where, Mr. Wu praised it!" The song you just sang was really high! An Tong and I listened to it below and admired it really much! β
Zhou Yin coughed lightly, a little unaccustomed to this title that made him feel ten years older, but there was no way, Wu Tianyu was engaged in creation first, and second, he was in his early thirties, and people called him a teacher was respectful to him.
I had to endure it first, "I suddenly had some inspiration a few days ago, and wrote an urban emotional song, and I thought that the style of that song should be suitable for Qu Jing to sing, and today I listened to your last crying singing, but I think maybe it would be more appropriate to interpret that song with this expression." β
Wen Siqi's eyes suddenly lit up, for a singer, good songs can be met but not sought, and no opportunity can be missed!
Although everyone is rumored that Wu Tianyu is already going downhill and can't write anything good, his previous achievements are there, and he just appeared on stage, with an elegant temperament, self-confidence and maturity, and a song that is even more moving, which shows that he is in good shape now, and his spirituality in music is still very high! It is not impossible to say that you suddenly have inspiration and create good works.
Wen Siqi immediately approached Zhou Yin without a trace, the towering breasts/breasts wrapped in the tight-fitting dress skirt almost rubbed against his arm, and his tone became softer and more cordial, "That-Teacher Wu has already decided to give that song to Qu Jing?" β
Qu Jing is also a singer who is good at singing lyrical songs, she debuted two years later than Wen Siqi, and the styles of the two are similar, while Qu Jing is younger and more beautiful, so she is very threatening to Wen Siqi. So even from the perspective of suppressing the opponent, Wen Siqi has to cut off this song.
Zhou Yin was ashamed, "Not yet, I wasn't in a good state some time ago, so I've been on vacation to recuperate, and all the songs have been postponed or postponed, and I promised Qu Jing's economist that I would write a song for her if I was in good shape after a while, but it was just a verbal agreement, and the time was not said to die, so it doesn't matter if this song is not given to her." He tilted his head slightly and groaned, "If you want to say who is more suitable, I really think it's ............." β
Wen Siqi heard the loosening in his tone, and immediately struck while the iron was hot, and his tone became a little more intimate, "I also think I am more suitable for Mr. Wu's style, I have always hoped to have the opportunity to cooperate with you again, but I didn't expect that there would be the possibility of making my wish come true!" Just jokingly, "The most shocking thing in the world is to be deprived of hope as soon as I have hope, Mr. Wu won't be so ruthless to see me being hit!" β
Zhou Yin was naturally immune to her hair, so he was very personable, and did not take the opportunity to pat her shoulder and hug her waist to comfort her, but continued to have a friendly and natural attitude, "Speaking of which, the advertising song we collaborated on the year before last really worked well, it was a chocolate advertisement, right?" β
"yes." Wen Siqi nodded, in fact, the two of them didn't even touch the advertising song recorded the year before last, Wu Tianyu was only responsible for making the lyrics and music and handed it over to the producer, and the rest were not involved, but Wen Siqi wanted to be close at this time, and reluctantly said that it was the cooperation between the two, and then asked, "Is Mr. Wu free tomorrow, and my agent and I will visit you?" β
Zhou Yin has been at home recently, but he waved his hand and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I've been busy lately, and I happen to have something tomorrow." β
Wen Siqi chased after him, "Then the day after tomorrow?" β
Zhou Yin smiled, "Don't be like this, it makes me seem to be very ungraceful, I refuse to move, and I want to toss the lady running around." β
Wen Siqi hurriedly said, "How come! β
I just wanted to say a few more polite words, but I heard the other party continue, "I am free the day after tomorrow, let's make a direct appointment to meet in the office of your agent in Taimei Company, it just so happens that I have something else I want to ask you for a favor." β
When Wen Siqi heard this, he couldn't help but put back the string of kind words on his lips and asked, "What?" β
Zhou Yin smiled at her slightly, "Help me make an appointment with Minister Li of the Taimei Audio-Visual Business Development Department, twenty minutes is enough, I have a project I want to talk to him." β
Wen Siqi hesitated, she has a close relationship with the Minister of the Development Department of Taimei's Audio-Visual Industry, which is no secret, Minister Li, as one of the main leaders of Taimei, has the power and resources in his hands are still very rich, Wen Siqi has been popular for so many years, and it is also one of the reasons why Minister Li, a long-term financier, is behind him.
She can do this request made by Zhou Yin, but she is a little worried that if the song provided by the other party is not good, her adult favor will be given away in vain.
Zhou Yin saw what Wen Siqi was worried about, "You don't have to be embarrassed, I heard that Qu Jing has been praised as a sister in Huanyu Media, or I can ask her to talk to the senior general manager of Huanyu Media, anyway, this project is the same for any company." β
Wen Siqi immediately weighed the result, anyway, Wu Tianyu only asked to talk about the project with Minister Li, and did not promise anything else, so as to exchange this condition for a song that may become popular, and by the way, it can also get rid of a chance for competitors, which should still be a good deal, "Okay, I'll help you make an appointment with Minister Li the day after tomorrow." β
======
After the reception, Sister Bao still drove the car at a turtle speed and sent Zhou Yin home.
Zhou Yin told her about his plans by the way.
After seeing her cousin's singing strength that night, Sister Bao's confidence in him increased greatly, and she nodded in agreement, "I also think that your conditions are so good, it's a pity to only do behind-the-scenes creation, you should transform into a singer." Taimei Entertainment's scale and strength are the best, and it is indeed a shortcut to cooperate with them. You think of Tong GuΓ² Wen Siqi to talk to Minister Li. β
Zhou Yin still felt a little motion sickness, and leaned back on the back of the chair with a pale face, "I originally wanted to see if I could talk to Chen Shujie, the boss of Taimei, but unfortunately I did, but people didn't pay much attention to me at first glance, so I had to retreat." β
Sister Bao smiled in surprise, "As long as you start to release a single, you have to discuss with the Taimei boss about investing more than ten or two hundred thousand at most, you can save it!" β
Zhou Yin has the heart to tell sΓΉ that she must be a potential stock, and there will be a lot of room for development in the future, but it is not just a matter of more than ten or two hundred thousand! I was so dizzy and nauseous that I had to keep my mouth shut and endure it, so naturally I couldn't speak.
======
Early the next morning, Zhou Yin was cooking cereal porridge in the kitchen downstairs with his head full of notes, and Mai Chengyue suddenly came in with his mobile phone, his face flashing with surprise, "You turned out to be Wu Tianyu!" β
Zhou Yin looked at him very strangely, "I am, didn't we introduce each other on the first day you moved in?" As he spoke, he turned off the fire, took out a jar of raisins from the cupboard on the side, and scattered two spoonfuls in the cereal porridge.
Mai Chengyue has become accustomed to having breakfast with him, sitting at the table and waiting, "If you say it is the famous songwriter Wu Tianyu, I will have a concept!" His eyes were shining and staring at Zhou Yin, "You were the male god in my eldest sister's heart back then!" She listened to your song early and late, and even listened to it for more than a year, and our whole family was about to vomit. β
Zhou Yin took out two bowls of cereal porridge, then pressed the toaster, popped out two slices of bread baked until they were just browned, and put them on the table with ham and omelette, and asked helplessly, "Are you praising me or hurting me?" β
Mai Chengyue is young and bright, living abroad since childhood, although he speaks Chinese very well, he is very straightforward, and has never had the habit of speaking tactfully. Don't mind, what you've written is really good, it's just that we've heard too much. β
Helped move a plate of sliced fresh oranges from the cooking table to the table, then sat down and started, "I didn't expect to meet you when I came to Z City for a tour, it's really interesting, I always thought you were best at cooking." After saying that, he suspected that he was too 'straight', and remedied, "Because everything you make is delicious, thank you!" β
Zhou Yin has been used to getting along with him these days, because he charged people for food, so he was very serious when he made breakfast and dinner, and Xiao Xianrou was handsome and tall, which was very pleasing to the eye, so he was more tolerant of his language habits that could not follow the local customs, and asked, "Why did you suddenly find out that I was the Wu Tianyu who composed music?" β
Mai Chengyue handed over the mobile phone to Zhou Yin to see, "Your singing video last night has spread on the Internet, it's so good!" An intoxicating melody! I didn't expect you to sing so well! As he spoke, he raised his eyes and carefully circled Zhou Yin's face, his eyes were a little intense, "It's still so good-looking, standing on the stage like a romantic troubadour." β
Zhou Yin didn't feel it when Wen Siqi approached him, but he was embarrassed to be looked at like this by Xiao Xianrou for a while, and changed the topic, "Where are you going to play today?" β
Mai Chengyue withdrew his gaze from Zhou Yin's face to the plate in front of him, and said impatiently, "I can't go anywhere, I have a relative who also came to Z City, and I won't show his face at him, I'm afraid he will find you." β
