Chapter 51: Fooling the God of Song
Yang Lin stood in front of the Taikoo Building in Central, and his heart fluctuated for a while, and he was full of feelings.
In his previous life, Yang Lin had come to Xiangjiang more than once. At that time, where he is now standing, Pacific Place, ranked ninth among the world's top 10 luxury shopping destinations, has led more than one girlfriend to shop here.
Now, with the passage of time, standing among the cluttered stalls, who would have thought that in a few years this place would become one of the landmarks of Xiangjiang? Yang Lin's brain was spinning, and he was even thinking about whether to get some money, buy some land and shops here, and wait until the construction of Pacific Place started, and it is estimated that the demolition compensation alone will be astronomical.
Money, it's really sad. How much money can you make just by writing and selling songs?
In the 80s, Xiangjiang can be said to be full of gold, and there are opportunities to make a fortune everywhere, but I don't know too much. Yang Lin regretfully put aside the idea of making money, raised his feet and walked into the Taikoo Building with Wei Jiahui.
His first goal of "soliciting sponsorship and advertising" was Cathay Pacific.
Cathay Pacific was originally developed in Shanghai under the name of "Australia-China Import and Export Company", but later moved to Hong Kong due to protectionist issues and registered as Cathay Pacific Airways, the first airline in Hong Kong to provide civil aviation services. Before the advent of Dragonair, it had a monopoly on Hong Kong's aviation industry.
In the play "People on the Journey", there are many shots flying back and forth from all over the world.
The two entered the headquarters of Cathay Pacific Airways on the tenth floor, and a woman wearing a black and white twill dress walked up, and asked in a sweet voice: "What business do you two handle?" ”
Yang Lin said: "Let's find Mr. Jensen first, can he have time?" "The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, Wei Jiahui had already figured out the situation of most of the customers and the list of main responsible persons when he was writing the script last night. At that time, there was no artifact of "Du Niang", and almost all the information came from newspapers and calls to ask friends, which shows how hard Wei Jiahui worked on this matter. And this attitude of striving for perfection is the foundation of his future success.
The girl was about twenty years old, innocent-looking, and looked like she was just a clerk, but she showed the standard smile of a professional flight attendant: "Sorry, you can't meet Manager Jensen without an appointment, he's busy." ”
Yang Lin had already anticipated such a situation, and said calmly: "We are TVB, and we plan to record a documentary program to introduce the most influential large companies in Xiangjiang. Your company is the largest airline in Hong Kong, and if more people can learn about your company through our program, I think Mr. Jensen will be interested. Can you tell the word and ask Mr. Jensen to decide? ”
Wei Jiahui pursed his lips without a trace, and said in his heart that this guy is simply running the train with his mouth, talking nonsense. Is what you want to learn is so full of nonsense? For the first time, Wei Jiahui had doubts about Yang Lin's character, this guy is not a serious person.
The girl was stunned for a moment, realizing that this matter may really be extraordinary, if it is because of her own insistence that the company does not appear on such a show, then the consequences are likely to be borne by herself. He is just a small clerk, and "firing squid" can only be the only end when the time comes. Thinking of this, the girl hurriedly said, "Okay, you two wait a minute, I'll call Manager Jensen." As she spoke, she shouted from a young man who was sorting out documents on the side: "Seven boys! Pour a cup of tea for your guests! He made a "please" gesture to Yang Lin and the others, led them to the reception area, and then turned around and twisted his hips to make a call.
Wei Jiahui said with some dissatisfaction: "Why do you say that? Can't you just say it? Acting like a liar. ”
"Liar?" Yang Lin was a little amused and explained: "Cathay Pacific has basically monopolized the aviation business in Xiangjiang now, and it is completely dominant. With such conditions and such strength, do you think we came directly and asked him to pay for advertising in our plays, would people be willing? ”
"Huh?" Only then did Wei Jiahui realize that he had made a mistake. If you want to advertise, you must want to enhance the popularity of your product or brand and strengthen your competitiveness. Everyone is already invincible in the world, whether you are satisfied or not, as long as you take a plane, you must be someone "Cathay Pacific", why spend money on advertising? Wei Jiahui said with some sneer: "I'm sorry, I just think that the airline's advertising is very suitable for those plots and shots, but I didn't take these factors into account, and people don't need to advertise at all." He was a little annoyed, such an obvious mistake, he didn't pay attention to it?
Yang Lin smiled and said, "Who said they wouldn't advertise?" ”
Wei Jiahui was stunned, and said strangely: "Didn't you say that Cathay Pacific has become a monopoly and has formed a monopoly, so why do you have to spend money on advertising?" "Is this man really, you said it, and hit yourself in the mouth?
"Hehe," Yang Lin looked at Wei Jiahui, who was confused, and said with a smile: "Although this company is very good, advertising still has to be done." ”
"Why?" Wei Jiahui couldn't help but be curious.
"Keep it secret, you'll find out in a moment." After Yang Lin finished speaking mysteriously, there was a person next to him: "Two gentlemen, please drink coffee." ”
Yang Lin hurriedly said, "Thank you." Standing up, he politely took two cups of coffee from the young clerk's hand, then sat down again and handed Wei Jiahui a glass.
One of the clerks hesitated for a moment and asked, "Excuse me, are you an employee of TVB?" ”
"yes, what's the matter?" Yang Lin felt a little thirsty, just took a sip of coffee, looked up and asked a little strangely. He looked up and saw the clerk's face clearly, and the coffee that had just reached his throat squirted out with a "poof".
This sip of coffee was impartial, and it happened to be sprayed all over the clerk's pants. The clerk was startled, took a step back, looked at Yang Lin with some dissatisfaction, and said in his heart, why is this person making a fuss? I only have this pair of uniform pants, and now I get dirty, but what can I do?
Wei Jiahui hurriedly patted Yang Lin, who was coughing wildly, on the back and apologized to the clerk: "I'm sorry, I soiled your pants." ”
The clerk glanced at Yang Lin with some "resentment", and said reluctantly: "It's okay, just wipe it with water." "Pick, if you're not at work, you want to look good! Dare to squirt water on my pants?
Yang Lin coughed for a while, and finally got his breath, his face was a little red and he stared at the clerk, his heart pounding.
The greenness of that face, the eye-catching scar, this person turned out to be a generation of "God of Songs" Zhang Xueyou!
It is said that Zhang Xueyou worked as a clerk at Cathay Pacific before he was signed by Polygram in the singing contest. Damn, such a coincidence? I couldn't help asking, "I'm sorry, you asked me if I was from TVB, is there anything wrong?" ”
Zhang Xueyou's slightly immature face showed a slightly embarrassed smile: "I just want to ask, with conditions like me, I don't know if I can be an actor?" ”
What? Zhang Xueyou, a generation of singers, is going to be an actor? Yang Lin was a little surprised, but it was not so strange to think that this guy's acting performance in his previous life seemed to be good, and he had won the "Best Supporting Actor" at the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards. It seems that Zhang Xueyouyou seems to participate in an amateur singing contest in the 18th district next year, won a championship, and was signed by Polygram to start his brilliant and dazzling singing career.
Wei Jiahui looked Zhang Xueyou up and down, looked at his very ordinary appearance and the obvious scar on his face, and said a little tactfully: "Actually, the job of an airline clerk is very good, with a stable income and a promising future." He pouted secretly with some disapproval, there are more young people like this, dreaming all day long that they can ascend to the sky in one step, become an idol surrounded by thousands of fans, live under the shining spotlight, wear gold and silver, and earn a lot of money. But in this seemingly dazzling entertainment industry, how many can become gods?
Zhang Xueyou is not a stupid person, of course he understands the meaning of this sentence, and his face is a little disappointed.
I'm picking! Yang Lin secretly slandered, Wei Xiaobao, do you know who is standing in front of you? He is a powerful music star with super influence in Asia and the entire Chinese society, and has sold more than 60 million genuine records worldwide! In case he is hit by Wei Jiahui, Zhang Xueyou is really wholeheartedly a little clerk, isn't it a big sin? Yang Lin hurriedly stopped Wei Jiahui's words and said: "To be honest, the sound quality of my voice listening to your speech is very good, if you can develop in music, your achievements may be even greater." ”
Zhang Xueyou said happily: "Really? Actually, I really like singing, and I think it's pretty good. However," he looked at Yang Lin and Wei Jiahui with some suspicion, "Aren't you two from TVB?" Do you know anything about music? ”
Yang Lin laughed: "Entertainment has no boundaries, it's all reasonable, it's almost." ”
Wei Jiahui didn't understand why Yang Lin seemed to be a little bit of a clerk to woo him. Although he couldn't figure it out, he was a dazzling character, so he consciously cooperated with Yang Lin at the moment, and pointed at Yang Lin with a smile and said, "You don't know him yet, do you?" Tell you, if you really want to develop in music, you have to make a good deal with this guy to ensure that you get twice the result with half the effort and become famous as soon as possible. ”
"Huh? I didn't ask, what is this gentleman called? Hearing him say this, Zhang Xueyou was a little stunned, could it be that this young man who was younger than him turned out to be a celebrity in the music industry? Take a closer look at Yang Lin, it's very unfamiliar, is it the son of the record company?
Yang Lin said: "Don't Mr. Son's, give birth." My name is Yang Lin, and most of my friends call me Ah Lin, come, come and sit, everyone is young, let's have a good chat. ”
Zhang Xueyou was pulled by Yang Lin to sit down a little restrainedly, and Wei Jiahui said, "You don't know yet, right? This is Gu Jiahui's disciple and a 'genius' in the music industry in Hong Kong. Chen Baiqiang's recent song "Remembering Relatives" and Lin Zixiang's "The Long Road Ahead Accompany Me" were all written by Alin. Moreover, a few days ago, I wrote a few songs for Deng Lijun, who was preparing for the concert, and Miss Deng Lijun also expressed her great satisfaction. "Since you want to cooperate with Yang Lin, you naturally want to praise Yang Lin like a flower, not to mention that Wei Jiahui didn't lie. It's just that Alin is really optimistic about this clerk and can achieve something in music?
"Ahh Zhang Xueyou was taken aback, stood up with some trepidation, and said respectfully: "It turns out that the 'new talent in Xiangjiang' who has been dressed very well outside recently is Mr. Yang, you, I have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, and I am disrespectful!" He didn't think that these two people would impersonate him to deceive him as a little clerk.
When did he become a "new talent in Hong Kong"? Yang Lin secretly complained that these people were too unqualified to make a name. But to let the future "God of Songs" speak so respectfully, Yang Lin's vanity was unprecedentedly satisfied, so he smiled and said: "It's just a fame, it can't be true!" ”
In the eyes of Zhang Xueyou, he thinks that he is a "master", so he has to have such a bearing! Zhang Xueyou looked at Yang Lin with some caution and expectation, and asked: "Mr. Yang, you are a talented figure in the music industry in Xiangjiang, do you really think I will have a future in singing?" ”
Nonsense, the future is dropped! Yang Lin smiled kindly: "What, do you want to develop in music?" ”
Zhang Xueyou was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.
Due to the family's economic conditions, in order to help the family solve some difficulties, Zhang Xueyou decided to come out to find a job after graduating from high school to reduce the burden on the family. Zhang Xueyou, who has been affected since childhood and loves to sing, did not stop singing at this time, and later learned guitar and other musical instruments, and then Xueyou was able to play and sing by himself. He loves music so much, can he forget that he has music, can he not sing? Although his songs were not instructed by a famous teacher at that time, they were very beautiful to sing.
Once, a friend signed up for a singing competition, and although he had adapted to working at Cathay Pacific, he felt that his friend was kind and disappointed his friend, so he agreed to participate. After signing up, he didn't take it seriously, so he didn't make any preparations, so he didn't take it seriously when he lost in the end.
Because the current situation of life tells him that he has to live a down-to-earth life, and those ethereal dreams can only be imagined.
But now, Yang Lin, a celebrity in the Xiangjiang music industry, told him: You are very talented in singing! What to do? Between reality and dreams, Zhang Xueyou is entangled.
Regarding Zhang Xueyou's current situation, Yang Lin has a little understanding, and he understands what he is hesitating about. Almost all of the family's livelihood is pressed on Zhang Xueyou, and he is a responsible man, so it is difficult for him to give up the responsibilities he bears and chase his distant dreams.
Yang Lin patted Zhang Xueyou's shoulder and comforted him with a smile: "Responsibility is very heavy, but responsibility is the pride of a real man!" Cowards cannot afford to take even the slightest responsibility, because that requires great courage and ability. Someone once said: Because of life experience, you can precipitate experience and have charm. There is no hurdle in the world that cannot be overcome, the sunshine is always after the wind and rain, no matter when, we must have a positive and optimistic attitude. If one day, you decide to go into music, come to me and I'll help you. ”
Wei Jiahui looked at Yang Lin, this guy's face was delicate and immature, but he put on a "life mentor" like a gushing posture, which made him feel very funny.
But for Zhang Xueyou, the shock in his heart is incomparable, and he only feels that Yang Lin's words are in his heart! I gave up my hobbies and dreams, just to shoulder the burden of this family. In the past, I was always a little resentful, a little discouraged, and felt that I was unlucky. But Yang Lin's words made him feel like he was suddenly opened. yes, isn't that what life is all about? Ups and downs, ups and downs, everyone has different worries. As long as you move forward positively, you will finally be able to see the rainbow after the wind and rain!
Looking at the friendly smile like a spring breeze on Yang Lin's handsome face, Zhang Xueyou only felt that this person was too powerful, he was simply a psychiatrist, expressing the troubles in his heart in one sentence, and pointing out the direction of the future concisely and clearly. He said gratefully: "Thank you, responsibility is the most important thing for a man, I know how to do it." ”
At this time, the female clerk came over and said politely, "Mr. Jensen, please come to the office to talk, please come with me." Her eyes turned on Yang Lin and Zhang Xueyou, and she seemed a little surprised, how could Zhang Xueyou seem to be very familiar with these two with such a little effort?
Yang Lin stood up, hugged Zhang Xueyou's shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile: "Remember, if you have no worries one day and plan to sing, you must come to me, and I will help you!" ”
Zhang Xueyou didn't speak, just nodded solemnly, this is a proud man, the words of gratitude will only be put in his heart, not said, but he will never forget. A person like Yang Lin, with his honest eyes, friendly smile, and jade-like temperament, would never be fattened by his words to Zhang Xueyou. He also understands that with Yang Lin's name as a "talented man in Xiangjiang" and Gu Jiahui's apprenticeship, the help he will give him in the future will be immeasurable.
Now he has a feeling as if he has been hit on the head by a pie falling from the sky, and he is dizzy.
