Sometimes Yang Lin felt that the most correct decision he had made in his two lives was to take Gu Jiahui as his teacher.

Gu Jiahui is low-key, does not show off his tongue, and often sits for a long time without saying a word, but getting along with him will make people feel as relaxed and natural as a spring breeze. He treats people sincerely and delicately, especially for Yang Lin, a "bad man". Yang Lin set up the "Red Star Records" company, hoping that Gu Jiahui could help him, but Gu Jiahui refused with a smile, saying that young people should break through on their own and not always rely on others. But when he turned around, he sent another of his apprentices, Xu Junqin, over, and now recommended another master to help Yang Lin make records.

The person sitting opposite Yang Lin was in his thirties, with small eyes, glasses, a smile, and a beard. It seems to be very optimistic with the surname and easy to get along with.

His name is Bao Pida, born in a musical family, his father is Filipino, and his mother is Chinese. Chinese, born in Hong Kong. In 1975, he became the music director of Hong Kong Science Arts EMI Records, and later went to Los Angeles to study film scoring and music industry at the Digrove Music Workshop. He returned to Hong Kong the year before last and participated in the production of records of first-line singers such as Hui Guanjie, Xu Xiaofeng, Chan Baiqiang, Leslie Cheung, Lin Zixiang and others. Recently, he was invited by Taiwan China Television to participate in the production of the soundtrack music of the big production "Yang Guifei", but was cut off by Gu Jiahui halfway. Bao Bida and Gu Jiahui are also teachers and friends, and they have received a lot of guidance from Gu Jiahui, but they have no way to refuse, and they are dragged to get the "Red Star Record".

Yang Lin doesn't know much about music producers in Hong Kong, after all, this is not his specialty. All he knew, there was only one Ou Dingyu, and that was because he liked Chen Huixian, so he had heard of this name.

Bao Bida was also looking at Yang Lin, slightly surprised. The delicate face, thick black eyebrows, and friendly smile all reflect the youthfulness of this person. But those bright eyes add a resolute and wise temperament. As a Hong Kong musician, he has also heard the name of Yang Lin, and Chen Baiqiang and Lin Zixiang have praised it without reservation. Bao Bida always thought that he was just a relatively talented young man. But sitting here face to face today, he knew that this was definitely not the case, this boss who was a little too young definitely had an inner show.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Yang Lin took the lead and said: "Welcome Mr. Bao to join 'Red Star Records', and cooperate with each other in the future, please give me more advice." ”

Bao Bida raised his eyebrows and said bluntly: "I don't dare to give advice, I want to know what Mr. Yang's next plan is?" ”

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Just call me Ah Lin, I'll also call you Brother Bao, let's get closer." ”

Bowida nodded.

Yang Lin continued: "My plan is to hold a concert in the name of 'fundraising for leukemia patients'. Then take advantage of the star effect of the concert and the social repercussions, and take the opportunity to launch the singer's record. ”

Bao Bida frowned, and said in his heart that he was really hairless, not doing things well, and doing things whimsically, and he didn't think about the consequences at all. After thinking about it, he reminded as tactfully as possible: "If this name is used as a gimmick, will it cause disgust among the people?" ”

Yang Lin smiled, he understood what Bao Bida meant, in the name of charity, he did hype, and he would be poked in the backbone and scolded his mother. "It's not a gimmick, all the proceeds from this concert, including tickets and TV broadcasts, will be donated to the Hong Kong Red Cross."

Bao Bida was stunned: "TV broadcast? It can't be live, right? ”

Yang Lin nodded and said: "It's a live broadcast, I have already negotiated with Mr. Shao Yifu of TVB, and the whole concert will be broadcast live to the whole Hong Kong through Jade Channel." ”

Bao Bida nodded secretly, the TVB TV came out really different, there is a backstage! It seems that until now, no concert has been broadcast live, because it involves too many technical difficulties and is very risky. The TV station will not do this easily, which shows that Shao Yifu will be very helpful to this former subordinate.

If it can be successful, it will definitely be extraordinary for the concert itself and the influence of the participating singers. He asked, "Which singer will lead the concert?" What is the budget? ”

Yang Lin handed him a cigarette and said: "The lead singer has not been determined yet, according to the plan, it is a man and a woman, both are newcomers, and I will invite a few singers to help." As for the budget, it is tentatively set at HK$500,000. ”

Bao Bida was holding the cigarette to his mouth, his hand reached into his pocket and touched the lighter, he was startled when he heard the words, he opened his mouth and stammered, and the cigarette fell, but fortunately he caught it in time and hurriedly caught it.

Holding a concert for two newcomers is barely acceptable. Although it was a live broadcast, it was nothing if young people were more radical in their thinking. After all, they are still shareholders of TVB and have the capital to play tickets. But the budget for a concert reached 500,000, which really scared Bao Pida.

The cost of holding a concert is very large, and of course this Babida is clear. There are many kinds of fees for renting venues, lighting, speakers, advertising, and salaries. But even if you are of the highest standard for everything, adding it up to a total of 200,000, it is estimated that it will not take 200,000, right? You know, taking Hung Hom Stadium as an example, there are only 12,500 seats in total, and according to the concert of king-level singers, the average ticket price is about 30 yuan, so the total ticket revenue is less than 400,000 yuan. According to this algorithm, you can't pay for death?

Yang Lin took out a lighter, lit a fire for Bao Bida, and said with a smile: "Scared? ”

Bao Bida smiled bitterly: "Of course I'm scared, I don't make money, I've never seen anything like this." "This young master is really a loser, even if you have money, you can't do this, is this stupid?

"If you think about it from a different perspective, you won't be so surprised." Yang Lin smiled slightly.

Bao Bidaqi said: "What angle? ”

Yang Lin said: "As I said, all the income from this concert will be donated, which means that I will donate the budget of the concert." So you say, if you donate, what is the difference between donating 200,000 and 500,000? ”

Bao Bida said: "Of course there is a difference, how can 200,000 have 500,000 heads?" ”

Yang Lin smiled: "That's it, you can see this 500,000 yuan as my donation, and you won't be so surprised."

When Bao Bida thought about it, it seemed to make a little sense.

Yang Lin took a puff of cigarette, looked at Bao Bida and said: "Don't always focus on the concert itself, thinking about the gains and losses." Our 'Red Star Records' has just been established, and what we lack most is popularity and social influence. As long as we can make our name 'Red Star Records' an instant hit, it's worth the money. What's more, as long as we do well, the future income will increase exponentially. ”

Bao Bida was speechless, spending 500,000 on advertising? He felt more and more that this kid who looked beautiful and delicate was crazy inside. It seems that this is not a place to stay for a long time, and when he helps him complete the production of this concert and the follow-up record, it can be regarded as repaying Gu Jiahui's favor, let's find another job. This kid is so good at tossing, maybe he will go bankrupt at some point.

Yang Lincai didn't care what he thought, whether he had Bao Bida or not, he had to do this.

He still fully trusts Bao Pida's ability, which was introduced by Gu Jiahui, and it is said that it took a lot of effort. Of course, Gu Jiahui's vision did not say that the person who could make him work so hard to win over could never be a parallel import. At that moment, he handed over the power to form a record production staff to Bao Pida, who selected the personnel and first formed the record production team......

**********

On the way home, Zhang Xueyou took the envelope containing the salary, pinched it with his fingers, a thin layer, and couldn't help sighing. After paying the water and electricity bills, telephone bills, and property fees, it is estimated that there is not much left.

He was very depressed in his heart, and he felt a feeling of being out of breath. It's like a bird with its wings tied, and it can't break free, so it can only look at the vast blue sky, calling in vain.

When will such a dull day be a head?

A life of poverty has almost exhausted his ambitions. He knew that he couldn't go on like this, or one day, his wings would be broken by life and he would never be able to fly. He wants to try to fly out, even if his bones are broken and his feathers fall off, he has no regrets. At least, I've fought, I've broken through, and if fate finally leaves me dormant in the dust, I admit it!

Zhang Xueyou took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, ran to the public phone booth on the side of the road, and took out a note from his shirt pocket. That was the last time I met Yang Lin, Yang Lin and him exchanged contact information. He is very confident in his singing level and wants to enter the music world. Thinking of what Yang Lin said to him last time, his heart warmed, and he could hear that when Yang Lin said that he would find him if he wanted to enter the music circle, he was definitely not perfunctory, but sincere.

Yang Lin is a famous composer in his own right, and his teacher Gu Jiahui is a leading name in the Hong Kong music industry, and if he is willing to help him, he will definitely succeed.

Throwing the coin and dialing the number, Zhang Xueyou held his breath and waited nervously. This was almost the moment when his fate changed, how could he not be nervous?

A pleasant female voice came out of the microphone: "Hello, who are you looking for?" ”

"Excuse me, is Director Yang Lin here?" Zhang Xueyou felt that her voice was a little shaky.

"Ah, Producer Yang has resigned, don't you know?"

Zhang Xueyou was stunned, what's going on? Will Yang Lin resign? He asked again unwillingly: "Then do you have his contact information?" ”|

"I'm sorry, but I don't know Producer Yang too well."

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Xueyou felt collapsed and had no strength. I have mustered up the courage to make this call. After all, it was just a one-sided relationship, and he was really embarrassed to go to Yang Lin in Xiangjiang. Without Yang Lin's help, who would want to sign a contract with him as a small person like him? Is it destined that I am just a little person who has been a small clerk all my life, and I am worried about money, oil and salt?

Zhang Xueyou came home in a daze, and the little sister greeted him, looked at him with a not very good face, and asked worriedly: "Second brother, are you not feeling well?" Have you seen a doctor? ”

Zhang Xueyou looked at her beautiful sister, barely squeezed out a smile, rubbed her hair, stuffed her salary, and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." Take the money, go ahead, pay everything that should be paid. Tired, he sat on the sofa and took a newspaper in his hand boredly.

A piece of news in the newspaper made Zhang Xueyou's heart move. The first "Hong Kong 18 Districts Amateur Singing Contest" will be held soon! Amateur singing contest? Isn't that what I can do too? Zhang Xueyou's mind became lively again, meaning that this might be an opportunity.

"By the way, second brother, there was a guy named Yang Lin who called you just now, and he said that he would call your company but you weren't there, so I called home, and I will contact him when you come back, and his phone number is on the table." The sweet voice of the little sister came from outside the door.

Yes? Zhang Xueyou was stunned, he wanted to find Yang Lin and couldn't find it, but now he sent it to the door by himself? Then I was happy to move the color, could it be that I was finally going to be transferred? (To be continued.) )
