In the hearts of a generation, Mei Yanfang is a legend. This is a woman born for the stage, and the stage is her world. In that world, she was radiant and glamorous.

She was born as gorgeous as a summer flower.

Anita Mui, a poetic name, a natural singer, a natural actor, a natural all-round artist, a Chinese music myth, and an unrivaled Asian diva! She belonged to that era, and that era belonged to her.

As soon as Yang Lin entered the door, he saw the emaciated and tall back standing at the window looking out. Her jet-black curls are shiny and silky, cascading down her shoulders in a natural and freehand way.

Hearing the sound, Mei Yanfang also turned her head, and her red lips smiled slightly: "Lin Shao." ”

Yang Lin had a little headache, it seemed that only Xiang Huaqiang, the big hooligan leader, had called himself that so far, right? To be honest, he was a little resistant to the title of "Lin Shao" from the bottom of his heart, and always felt a little sarcastic, could it be that he was not confident enough? He nodded, and did not show any unnaturalness, and his delicate face was full of friendly and sunny smiles: "Sit, it's like arriving at your own home." He walked behind his desk, picked up the hot coffee that the staff had already prepared, and poured Mei Yanfang a cup: "If Miss Mei is gone, just call me Alin and be closer." ”

Mei Yanfang sat down generously opposite Yang Lin, took the coffee with both hands, looked at Yang Lin with some surprise, and said softly: "Thank you." "The feeling that Yang Lin brings to her now is very natural and kind, which makes her a little puzzled, we don't seem to know each other, right?

Now Mei Yanfang has just debuted and is still a newcomer in the entertainment industry. Although I have had a lot of stage performance experience since I was a child, I have never struggled in this "big dye vat" after all, and my psychology is very immature. The slight change in her expression, how could she escape Yang Lin's eyes?

Yang Lin chuckled, knowing her differences, but he didn't explain it, and he couldn't explain it. Do you want to say to Mei Yanfang: Although we don't know each other, I know the trajectory of your life? So he just smiled and said, "I've heard about Sister Mei's past, and I admire you very much." In a sense, you are my idol. ”

This is not a compliment, it is Yang Lin's truest thoughts. In order to make money to support her family, this girl who has been performing on stage since she was four years old has an extraordinary tenacity and courage, as well as an awe-inspiring sense of responsibility. When she was a child, she frequented not the school, but the large and small dance halls, and sometimes even sang on the street. At a young age, he experienced ups and downs, attracted countless white eyes and bullies, and often starved and froze. However, the bumpy experience of "running the rivers and lakes to perform arts" in her youth did not crush her ideals, but instead created a chivalrous and heroic surname and a temperament of vicissitudes of atmosphere, how can it not make people admire and respect?

Mei Yanfang smiled lightly, pursed her ** red lips, and teased: "I'm a little flattered, you are now the most powerful 'entertainment talent' in Xiangjiang, how can a little girl afford to praise me like this?" For the experience of childhood, she has never had the idea of inferiority, but thinks that it is a very proud thing, which is also determined by her cheerful and atmospheric surname.

"I came today because I was entrusted by a friend to talk to Mr. Yang about something." Mei Yanfang was very straightforward and straightforward, although she didn't want to come.

"Sister Mei is now signing a contract with 'Huaxing Records', right?" Yang Lin didn't answer Mei Yanfang's words, and asked very abruptly.

Mei Yanfang was stunned: "Yes, what's the problem?" ”

Yang Lin smiled slightly and looked at Mei Yanfang: "Isn't there any problem, if I invite Sister Mei to join our 'Red Star Records', I don't know if I am interested?" ”

"Huh?" Mei Yanfang was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a smile and said: "I am very optimistic about you and your 'Red Star Records', but I'm sorry, I have an appointment with "Huaxing". She was very strange, what did Yang Lin mean by this?

"It doesn't matter, if Sister Mei is willing to join 'Red Star Records', I would be happy to be your composer. As for the 'Huaxing' side, don't worry, I think the sixth uncle will sell me this face, after all, there are so many big names on his side. As for the liquidated damages, it is not a problem at all, I will give as much as he wants. Yang Lin looked at Mei Yanfang and said slowly.

Last year, after signing with "Huaxing Records", Mei Yanfang launched her first album "Red Mei Yanfang", which became an instant hit, won 500 gold sales, caused a sensation in the Hong Kong music scene, and became a dazzling new star. If you can put this future "Variety Queen" network under the banner at this time, wouldn't you catch a cornucopia? Moreover, no one can understand Mei Yanfang's style better than Yang Lin, and can make Mei Yanfang rise rapidly, not only popular all over Hong Kong, even if it is impossible to break out of Asia?

Mei Yanfang listened to Yang Lin's words, and her heart moved. Yang Lin's talent is undoubted, otherwise Mei Yanfang would not have begged Xiang Huaqiang to buy songs from Yang Lin at the beginning. The most important thing is Yang Lin's attitude, which is very sincere and domineering, as if as long as she nods now, Yang Lin will immediately negotiate with "Huaxing Records", "at all costs", which is the highest praise and value for an artist.

Mei Yanfang didn't go back to Yang Lin's words directly, but just smiled: "I heard that as long as it is the singer you like, no matter who you sign with, the phrase 'liquidated damages is not a problem' is not less?" ”

Is that what I said when I signed with Chen Huixian? It is estimated that it was passed out by a dead fat man again. Yang Lin took a sip of coffee and said casually: "I'm not a money printer, so I won't say this kind of thing to anyone." Only the singer I am optimistic about, I will not spare any money, because I think he has this value. But to be correct, I've only said this once, but now it seems that it works pretty well. ”

Mei Yanfang nodded admiringly: "What's not bad?" Zhang Xueyou and Chen Huixian, the two newcomers, are shining as soon as they debut, and in the whole Hong Kong music circle, don't you praise you for being a discerning person and a bole in the music world? "Two young newcomers were pushed to the public by a concert by Yang Lin, and they were immediately star-studded and famous, which producer is not red-eyed, which newcomer is not jealous?

"Music Bole?" Yang Lin was a little surprised, pouted, and said, "This name is too big, right?" "It seems that these guys are okay, and the problem of nicknames for buddies has not changed.

Mei Yanfang smiled silently. The young man in front of him is simply a legend that is happening in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Ability, talent, luck, vision, all of them are outstanding and amazing. On TVB's rise, a "Rogue Tycoon" set off a ratings frenzy, setting a record for the ratings of Hong Kong TV dramas; In the music industry, a concert that shook Hong Kong, two star singers who rose like comets, "Remembering Your Kindness", "I Only Care About You", "Thousands of Miles Away", "Where to Not Meet in Life" The ingenious two "Blessings" are all classic and popular masterpieces, and some media are even saying that the first "Top Ten Golden Songs" ranking that is being prepared will be monopolized by Yang Lin's songs? And now, Yang Lin, who is thriving and super powerful in both the fields of TV and music, has entered the film industry and set a record investment. He never seems to be satisfied with the results in front of him, and has always challenged for higher standards, but he has never reached the limit.

Yang Lin looked at Mei Yanfang with admiration, curiosity, and admiration, and felt a little fluttering, this is the "big sister" of the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the future! "Sister Mei doesn't say anything, so I'll just assume that you agreed?"

Mei Yanfang frowned, although she was a little moved, but after all, she was picked up by "Huaxing", although she has not yet become popular, but the company's support is very strong. She didn't want to come to "Red Star Records" rashly for the sake of the so-called future, after all, although "Red Star Records" is now strong, there is still an obvious gap with "Huaxing", which has the most backing of the entire wireless TV station. So he smiled apologetically: "Let me think about this." ”

Yang Lin nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Of course." But I still want to say that the strength of 'Huaxing' can make you popular all over Xiangjiang and become an Asian singer, and I can make your singing all over the world, I firmly believe it! ”

Mei Yanfang was stunned. This delicate face, a friendly and sunny smile, and a deep voice, but he said such a domineering sentence. Hubris? Or pride? Mei Yanfang didn't know, she only knew: At this moment, she really wanted to turn to "Red Star Records" to see if he could really do it!

Her heart was beating, and Mei Yanfang smiled: "I'm here today, but I have something to ask you to come, why did the topic come to this?" ”

Yang Lin looked at Mei Yanfang with a smile, his eyes were shining, he didn't know why Mei Yanfang changed the topic, and he didn't agree or object. It wasn't until Mei Yanfang looked a little uncomfortable that she smiled and said, "Then you say, I've always been anxious for justice and righteousness, as long as I can, I didn't say anything." There was a trace of doubt in her heart, and she could see that Mei Yanfang was still a little moved at the beginning, but then her expression was a little unnatural, and even frustrated? Yang Lin didn't ask, but said he couldn't understand what Mei Yanfang's completely incredible expression represented.

Mei Yanfang smiled brightly and looked at Yang Lin very sincerely: "Zhou Shilong is my friend, he heard that you want to buy the stage, so he asked me to act as a lobbyist." Their family has four theaters, I don't know if you're interested. ”

Zhou Shilong? Yang Lin's eyes narrowed, this news was not unexpected, because it was originally part of his series of plans. But this role of "middleman" surprised Yang Lin.

Negotiating with the Li family to acquire the Li stage was originally a smoke bomb released by Yang Lin. If the Li family was really willing to take advantage of the stage, and the conditions were within Yang Lin's ability to accept, he would not refuse. But the real purpose is to release a message that he is going to enter the film industry and he wants to buy a theater.

On the one hand, he told Shao Yifu that his ambition for Shaw Brothers Cinemas was bound to win, so that Shaw Yifu could consider it comprehensively between him and Pan Disheng, and not make the decision to sell Shaw Brothers Cinemas to Pan Disheng too quickly. On the other hand, it is to send a signal to Zhou Shilong: Lao Tzu wants to buy a theater! Based on his relationship with Zhou Shilong, if he came to the door directly, it was estimated that Zhou Shilong would be able to spray him in the face, thinking that Yang Lin was an insult or some trick. Even if he sets a trap, ** Zhou Shilong owes tens of millions of huge debts, and Zhou Shilong will not sell his theater to Yang Lin. Although Hong Kong's economy is in turmoil and real estate has plummeted, there will be people who can and are willing to make a move, at least Pan Disheng is a potential variable.

But with the previous contact with the Li family, Zhou Shilong would not have thought that Yang Lin's target had always been him. Yang Lin asked Wang Jing to release the news of the resumption of negotiations with the Li family through the media newspapers, which was a vague reminder to Zhou Shilong: Boy, sell property to repay debts, there is a rich wronged man here!

Zhou Shilong really lived up to expectations, and did not waste Yang Lin's good intentions and fell into the trap. But why did Mei Yanfang come forward? What is the relationship between this Mei Yanfang and Zhou Shilong and Xiang Huaqiang?

Mei Yanfang saw that Yang Lin was silent in thought, thinking that Yang Lin still remembered the festival with Zhou Shilong, so she said coquettishly: "Hey, I just said that I didn't say what I could!" ”

Yang Lin was extremely disgusted with Zhou Shilong, touched his nose and smiled, a little reluctant: "I am discussing with the Li family to buy the Li Stage, where is there so much money to buy his theater?" ”

Mei Yanfang waved her hand and said very angrily: "Buying that is not buying?" It's a big deal, I'll call Zhou Shilong, that kid cheaper. ”

Yang Lin smiled and saw that Mei Yanfang finally revealed her hearty surname, shook his head and said: "You also know the situation in Hong Kong now, financial turmoil, real estate plummeted. I wonder if one day a shell flies over, it will become a rubble and ruins, who will invest in real estate at this time? I'm also thinking about withdrawing from the negotiations with the Li family now, after all, my money didn't come from the tide of the sea, did it? ”

Mei Yanfang's delicate eyebrows raised, and she pouted: "Hey, you're sitting on the ground and bargaining, right?" Businessman's face. I don't care how much money you plan to pay, give me a happy word, can you talk to the Zhou family. I don't know if it's familiar or what's going on, Mei Yanfang's tone of voice is becoming more and more casual, as if she and Yang Lin are old friends who have known each other for a long time.

Yang Lin pretended to be embarrassed, spread his hands and said: "Sister Mei, you also know about my festival with Zhou Shilong, that scumbag is disgusting when I see him, I don't understand, how can you be friends with him?" If you don't know what this bastard has done, I'd be happy to tell you about it. ”

Mei Yanfang's face changed, and after a while, she sighed and said: "Don't worry about this, if you agree to talk to the Zhou family, I will promise you to come to 'Red Star Records', and there is no problem in signing an overlord clause." ”

Now Yang Lin's dark eyebrows really wrinkled, there must be a problem between Mei Yanfang and Zhou Shilong, otherwise how could Mei Yanfang make such a big concession? You know, I just refused to come. The fire of Yang Lin's gossip was burning, and his curiosity was aroused, it seems that Mei Yanfang stayed with Zhou Shilong to enter the entertainment industry in her memory, and spared no effort to support her, which finally made Zhou Shilong famous in the entertainment industry.

But this curiosity can only be held in his heart, but Mei Yanfang's promise to join "Red Star Records" made him stunned and overjoyed. Damn, Zhang Xueyou, Chen Huixian, and now with a Mei Yanfang, Lao Tzu's "Red Star Record" is simply the "God of Songs Club"! Well, in the future, I will develop according to this goal, those small fish and shrimp ignore him, except for wasting "resources", there is no attraction. In the Hong Kong music scene, who else can be called "God"?

When Mei Yanfang saw Yang Lin's joy, she knew that he had agreed. sighed deeply in my heart: Zhou Shilong, I should almost pay back what I owe you, let's settle it together. She collected her feelings and looked at Yang Lin funny: "So happy? Looks like you're really confident in me. Yang Lin's undisguised happiness greatly satisfied the vanity in Mei Yanfang's heart, and only by being valued can he explain his worth.

Yang Lin laughed: "It's just a piece of iron lump, I can also burn him red, let alone Sister Mei?" I can't help but have faith in you, and you have to have faith in me. Trust me, one day, I'm going to put you on the podium at the Grammys! ”

This is by no means Yang Lin's arrogant words, Mei Yanfang's style is definitely in line with the aesthetic concepts of Europe and the United States, coupled with Yang Lin's "cheat" assistance, it may not be impossible to achieve a myth.

Mei Yanfang was really stunned now, and when she saw Yang Lin's bright and scary eyes, her heart also beated. In Hong Kong, how many can think of the world's highest stage? Her eyes fluttered, and she gave Yang Lin a slap in the face: "Don't blame me for not realizing it, remind you, I just renewed my contract with 'Huaxing', which is the kind of five-year long contract." ”

Yang Lin was dumbfounded. What does a five-year long contract mean? It means that you want to buy out the contract, especially a rising future star like Mei Yanfang, at least three million foundations! It's not that he is reluctant, Mei Yanfang's value is definitely more than that, the key is that the money is not enough.

He had just secured a $35 million loan from a bank with shares in TVB, which can be described as a wealthy man. But all this money is going to be used to buy Zhou Shilong's theater, and it must not be embezzled, and these estimates are not enough. Zhou Shilong's family has four theaters, all of which are located in the prosperous area of Hong Kong, which is an indispensable cornerstone for the grand blueprint of the future "film empire" planned by Yang Lin. In his mind, this "film empire" is the ultimate goal, and nothing can stand in front of it.

But seeing that Mei Yanfang couldn't sign it, Yang Lin had some pity. You must know that with Mei Yanfang's upward trajectory, every time a record is released, her net worth and influence will soar. When his "Assembly" is released and the funds are withdrawn, Mei Yanfang is already a sky-high price, and the most important thing is that anyone can see that this is a huge cash cow, who will sell it?

No, it must be when Mei Yanfang is just showing her head, how many superstars of this level have been produced in Hong Kong in the past few decades?

Yang Lin gritted his teeth and said word for word: "I don't care what the contract is, no matter how much it costs, even if it's five million, if I say to sign you, I will definitely sign you!" ”

Mei Yanfang opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but after all, she just let out an exclamation and picked her thumb boldly. She finally knew where the secret of Yang Lin's success was, not talent, not ability, but courage.

Although she has now made a name for herself, she is still a newcomer who has only released one album in the end. But Yang Lin dared to bet heavily and let it go. Even Mei Yanfang himself didn't have such confidence, how could he dare to make such a crazy bet?

Therefore, Mei Yanfang said a very angry sentence: "If you really sign me for more than three million, then as long as you don't cancel the contract, as long as 'Red Star Records' doesn't finish, I won't leave." (To be continued.) )
