Chapter 490. Super fan
readx;
Since it is impossible to let Polygram help release the record, Chen Xiaotang is not willing to rely on others. He once remembered a very classic line in one of Li Lianjie www.biquge.info's plays: "People, rely on yourself!" ”
So Chen Xiaotang immediately announced that time is running out, and his own record Magic Shadow Entertainment will produce and publish it by himself!
As soon as these words came out, they were shocked, not only the fat man Wang Jing was dumbfounded, but even the master Huang Zhan was a little stunned.
Why?!
Because releasing your own records and releasing them by yourself is equivalent to taking all the risks yourself!!
According to the current situation of the Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong record market, it takes at least 20 Hong Kong dollars to make a good record, and if you make 100,000 copies, the cost will need 2 million! Coupled with packaging fees, publicity fees, etc., you can't get it at all without 3 million!
In the end, after all, releasing a record is not charity, it is to make money, and the capital of 3 million is invested in it, if you can't even recover the capital, then you will lose a lot of money directly.
"Ah Tang, I hope you think about it carefully, after all, releasing records is not a game, and the total liquidity we have on hand is not only three or four million, and now it is very risky to take out three million at once to do this kind of thing!" Fat man Wang Jing said.
"Ah Jing is right, although we have lost face in Polygram, there is no need to be rash...... I think it's better to take a long-term view and choose another one from other companies to cooperate, what do you think? Huang Zhan said euphemistically.
Chen Xiaotang said with a smile: "What if the cooperation is really successful? In their eyes. We're not meat begging guys yet! I. Chen Xiaotang, I rely on my own strength! Even if they really have to beg for meat, they are the ones who come to me to ask for it! ”
At this moment, Chen Xiaotang has an indescribable spirit.
"Besides, if we want to develop, we will have to create our own marketing channels sooner or later, and now we are just doing it in advance! We have to have faith in ourselves and have faith in me! Uncle Zhan, aren't you already looking forward to my album, in that case, why should we be cheaper than others. Don't do it yourself? ”
"This ......" Huang Zhan was stunned, "I thought about the risk at first......"
"What is there to do without risk?" Chen Xiaotang interrupted him, "The so-called wealth is in danger!" The greater the risk, the greater the chance of turning over! Believe in me. We're going to win big this time! ”
Seeing that Chen Xiaotang swore by it, Huang Zhan, Wang Fatzi and others lost their words.
"Ah Tang, what you said makes sense, Lao Gu and I can help with the production and packaging of the record, but we ...... in terms of publicity" Huang Zhan hesitated, "At most, I will use my connections in the music industry to help you do publicity!" ”
You must know that Huang Zhan is a master-level existence in the Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong music scene, and his connections are also very broad, as long as he is willing to ask for help, it is absolutely powerful to help Chen Xiaotang promote the record. But then again, according to Huang Zhan's status today. Let him pull down his old face and beg for someone, it's really a little difficult for him. People want faces, trees and bark, he has lived for most of his life, and he has always appeared in the public eye as a proud image of a literati, and the so-called "godfather of unculture" is just his self-styled uninhibited talk that is not true.
At this moment, in the face of this kind of good thing that others can't ask for, Chen Xiaotang shook his head and said, "No need Uncle Zhan, I know you are good to me." But I don't want to use your connections to make my own record......" Chen Xiaotang's tone was unmistakable.
Huang Zhan didn't know why but breathed a sigh of relief, if Chen Xiaotang didn't reject himself, to be honest, Huang Zhan might look down on Chen Xiaotang a little, you must know that the greatest qualification to be a singer is "anti-pressure". Ability to solve problems on your own in any situation. Instead of blindly begging for help, let people help.
"And what are you going to do?" Everyone couldn't help but ask.
Chen Xiaotang said domineeringly: "It's very simple, I want to hold a fan meeting, the purpose is to promote my record!" ”
Meet-and-greet, do publicity?!
The fat man was stunned!
Huang Zhan was stunned!
Gu Jiahui was stunned!
Everyone was stunned!
……
The news that Chen Xiaotang was going to hold a fan meeting spread like a whirlwind throughout Hong Kong.
Streets and lanes.
Downtown neighborhood.
Bathhouse bath.
Wet market hypermarket......
People are talking about Chen Xiaotang's sudden fan meeting.
According to the news, as a superstar in the film industry and a "newcomer" in the music industry, Chen Xiaotang, in order to repay everyone's love for him, was temporarily prepared to hold this meeting, in which he will sing several songs, these songs are his company's Magic Shadow Entertainment to be published and released personal albums.
One stone startles a thousand waves!
The first to get the news were the major record companies that stood tall in the music world. They were all surprised and surprised that Chen Xiaotang took care of everything and released his own solo album. And then I thought it was funny. A slightly popular star, how capable is it to dare to release his own album without shame, if you can succeed, what do you want us professional record companies to do?
Universal Music: Incredible, unbelievable, this Chen Xiaotang actually wants to release his own record, isn't he joking?! Is April Fool's Day coming?!
Warner Records: This Chen Xiaotang is very interesting, he has so much courage to do such a thing, but unfortunately, this is definitely suicide!
Baidai Records: Album and singing are definitely two concepts, this Chen Xiaotang doesn't understand the truth that interlacing is like a mountain, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's going to become cannon fodder!
……
In addition to these record companies, the one who is most contemptuous and disdainful of Chen Xiaotang is Polygram.
At this moment, in the president's office of PolyGram's corporate headquarters.
Bruce, the president of the ghost guy, crossed Erlang's legs, chewed his cigar cigarette and looked at the news published in the newspaper that Chen Xiaotang was going to release his own record.
Burning a hole in the report with a cigar butt, Bruce sneered: "Look at what a funny thing this Chinese~Chinese monkey is doing!" We have already given him advice. He pounced on him with such gratitude. And higher than this acrobatics! God, I'm so disappointed! ”
Next to him, his personal assistant, the copy of "Charlie Cao", stepped forward and flattered: "What a brazen guy, does he really think he is a god?" It's just that I've only sung a few songs, and that's it! So, boss, you don't have to deal with him at all, let it fend for itself! Then he will understand, in our eyes. A star like him isn't even as good as a fart! ”
"Haha! You're right! There are so many singers in Hong Kong, like that or something, Tan Yonglin, isn't he also very tough at the beginning, but in the end, he didn't listen to us obediently? Bruce took a smirk of his cigar. "Just look, there's this Chinese monkey crying...... He will come to me when the time comes, he will! Now, let's keep our eyes open and see how he failed! Hahaha! Laughing.
………
In addition to the fact that major record companies are not optimistic about Chen Xiaotang's crazy move, many people in the industry are also not optimistic about this seemingly "reckless" behavior.
Xu Guanjie, known as the god of songs, said in an interview: "I don't approve of Chen Xiaotang's bold approach, after all, the music industry has the rules of the music world, and the production and distribution of records is not a simple matter. It is carried out systematically by a professional company. But I still wish him success, anyway, his songs are indeed very good! ”
Tan Yonglin: "I heard that Tang Tsai once negotiated with PolyGram, the company I signed a contract with, but because he insisted on some of his own principles, the negotiations broke down, but it doesn't matter, I think as a singer has to go through some winds and waves, but obviously, Tang Tsai's decision to release a record made me a little ...... How to put it, it's too risky. Yes, that's it! ”
As for Zhang Guirong, he said to the media: "I believe in him and support him!" If Chen Xiaotang can release his own record, I absolutely believe it. Because he's the kind of person who can do miracles anytime, anywhere! ”
As soon as Zhang Guirong's words came out, many people said that he went crazy with Chen Xiaotang. Even the Baidai Record Company, to which Zhang Guirong belongs, also asked him to "keep his mouth shut" and not to cause trouble.
But no matter what, Chen Xiaotang has been roasted on the fire by everyone at this moment, and many people are waiting to see his jokes and see how many of his own records can sell......
In the face of these turbulent waves of public opinion, Chen Xiaotang, as a party concerned, refused interviews and interviews with the media under the pretext of rehearsing the concert, so that some people said that he was fighting hard, and some people said that he was going to show his strength and surprise the fans.
Of course, in addition to these positive responses, there are also some discordant voices.
There are some people who are jealous of him who say that he is stalling for time and waiting for death! Some people say that he is making a turtle with a shrunken head, and he is afraid that he will break himself! Some people even said that he was holding back and saving face...... Otherwise, how could he not take the opportunity to canvass for himself to do publicity?! Obviously scared!
In the face of all kinds of questions and questions, Chen Xiaotang still did not appear and replied to the media.
When Chen Xiaotang couldn't breathe out for a long time, the editor of a Hong Kong magazine suddenly had a whimsical idea and launched an essay contest entitled "The Story I Have to Tell with Chen Xiaotang", the theme of which is to fantasize about the bizarre stories that I have experienced with my idol, or special emotions, or elaborate on the detailed description of Chen Xiaotang, an idol superstar.....
The winner of the grand prize will have the opportunity to meet the idol Chen Xiaotang alone, and the first, second and third prizes will be divided into various souvenirs related to Chen Xiaotang. The idea was a bit of a joke at first, but Chen Xiaotang's fans and fans responded en masse, and the magazine received tens of thousands of letters for a while. Unexpectedly, the editors had to consider whether the joke was too big.
It was difficult to ride the tiger, and the editors finally decided to continue the event. After several screenings, the final grand prize winner was a young girl who had just returned from studying in the UK. Her essay is simply a beautiful prose, beautifully written, and perfectly imagined. She wrote: "He was tall, handsome, and of typical Oriental countenance, with delicate features and perfect proportions, and was the most perfect masterpiece that God could make." Always polite, but he has the body of an athlete and is full of youthful vitality. His eyes are deep and moving, and when he smiles, he is like the flowers of the whole world blooming at the same time, and when he is melancholy, he can make the stubborn stone sentimental. He is gentle with his lover. Graciously. It is the most perfect lover in the world. After that, there was a lot of praise and praise, and it can be seen that the girl who wrote this article was amorous and imaginative, and used dreamlike colors to outline the image of the most perfect dream lover, or rather, so that people can't help but feel that she really knows Chen Xiaotang, and has a legendary story with him......
However, after the winners were announced, the editors faced the biggest problem, they wanted to replace the promised date with some prizes, but the girl flatly refused. This girl is clearly one of Chen Xiaotang's most fervent admirers. Even though the editors' promises were enough to fulfill everyone's wishes, she stubbornly demanded to see Chen Xiaotang.
In the end, the editors were really out of choice and had to call Shadow Entertainment for help. The secretary who answered the phone was very perceptive and soon saw that this was a good opportunity. hurriedly reported to Chen Xiaotang himself.
After Chen Xiaotang heard it, he was also overjoyed and unintentionally inserted under the willows, which was a good opportunity to communicate with fans, and it also happened to solve a problem that he was having a headache. This problem is that in response to those questions and questions from the outside world, you must deal with them, but rashly going out will only backfire, and you must have the best time to show your face. But the reaction of the fans is gradually becoming too strong, and if it continues, there may be a large amount of dissatisfaction. And this sudden event just allowed Chen Xiaotang to buffer.
Therefore, Chen Xiaotang pondered for a while, and immediately decided to agree to the magazine's request, arrange a time to meet the girl, and also reward the other winners, giving them a number of autographed photos of themselves. This is not a rare prize, but in the case of Chen Xiaotang's long-awaited appearance, it is the best reward for fans.
When the music master Huang Zhan, who was in charge of Chen Xiaotang's record release, learned the news. originally wanted to ask Chen Xiaotang to teach him how to deal with it, but looking at Chen Xiaotang's casual and free image, he immediately felt that he was too worried. "He himself is an acting star, where do you need to guide yourself in such a small matter!" Huang Zhan thought like this and shook his head. A smile appeared on his face.
When the appointed time came, Chen Xiaotang came to a reception room. In the reception room, except for the thin man Li Lizhi, who was in charge of temporary chores. There's already a Rapunzel waiting for him.
The girl sat on the sofa, with her back to him, although she couldn't see her face clearly, but she could see from her delicate figure that she was a beauty, especially the pink neck and snow-white skin, as well as the black and bright shawl hair, all of which gave people a sense of youth and vitality. She sat upright at the moment, and there was no trace of any apprehension or anticipation......
This is a very calm fan, Chen Xiaotang said in his heart.
Just when Chen Xiaotang was thinking, he heard footsteps, and the girl suddenly looked back.
"Hello, I'm Chen Xiaotang." Chen Xiaotang smiled and greeted her.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
Two screams.
The first scream turned out to be made by Chen Xiaotang, full of surprise and stunned.
The second scream was made by the girl, and was full of ghosts and banter.
Looking at Chen Xiaotang's stunned appearance, the girl wrinkled her nose cutely, and said, "Wow, wow, haven't you seen me?" ”
Li Lizhi, the thin man next to him, looked at the two of them with some confusion, and said in his heart, what's the matter, do you know?
Before Li Lizhi could come back to his senses, the girl suddenly screamed again, making him tremble.
"What's the matter?" Chen Xiaotang stopped in amazement, looking at the girl, he couldn't help but reach out and touch his face, did he suddenly become some kind of terrifying monster?
But the girl's next action made Li Li even more dumbfounded.
I saw that the girl seemed to be amused by Chen Xiaotang's rather funny movements, and then the girl pounced in front of Chen Xiaotang, took his hand and looked left and right.
"Hehe, you haven't changed much, it's exactly the same as I dreamed, God!" The girl kept exclaiming, and Chen Xiaotang realized that he was a little unaccustomed to this girl's practice of not hiding his feelings.
Li Lizhi next to him judged wisely that this pair of men and women must have an adulterous relationship!!
"Ahem, can you not be so surprised?" Chen Xiaotang glanced at Li Lizhi next to him. "If it's okay, you go down first......"
Li Lizhi was even more affirmative, look, ** no, try every means to drive me away, despicable, despicable.
Seeing Li Li walk out with a fart, Chen Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief. looked at the girl and said, "I didn't expect to see you suddenly!" ”
"How. You don't want to see me? The girl said with a wink.
"No... I'm just wondering, how did you end up here? Chen Xiaotang had to re-examine this elusive, baby-faced, girly girl who was enough to fascinate anyone.
She is none other than Qiao Anqi, the daughter who once suffered with Chen Xiaotang in Spain---!
"I'm a big fan of yours, and I've written articles praising you, so I've flown all the way from England!" Qiao Anqi still looks coquettish, and there is a hint of redness on her white and tender face, which makes people seem to be able to pinch out water.
"Ahem, I'm sorry I believe your words!" Chen Xiaotang shook his head.
"Look at you. I'll tell you the truth, you don't believe it; Do you have to make me tell a lie? Qiao Anqi pursed her small mouth, "Then I'll say, I'm because I miss you so much." I even dreamed of you when I was sleeping, so I took the initiative to participate in this essay competition, and finally with my delicate feelings and beautiful style, I came out on top and met you...... How, are you satisfied with what I say? "Blink.
Chen Xiaotang fainted, "It's too numb for you to say that...... To be honest, why haven't I seen you since I came back from Spain......"
"You still say, I was tricked back to Hong Kong by my dictatorial ** father, and then. He packed me up and sent me to England to study, and if it weren't for the Chinese New Year, I wouldn't have come back......" Qiao Anqi began to take the trouble to tell Chen Xiaotang about her personal experience like pouring beans.
She said that she was lonely in the UK, she didn't have to buy barbecued pork buns if she wanted to, the whole school was blonde and blue-eyed foreigners, and she couldn't find a friend with black eyes and yellow skin, and she liked to dance very much, but the British dance was very ugly, and she couldn't learn how to dance...... She didn't like the smell of foxes on British men, and she didn't like the hairiness of British women......
Chen Xiaotang listened to her quietly. The appearance is very serious and sincere.
Joanne thought it was funny that she had failed many times when she tried to get close to him, and even more so at that time he still regarded her as nothing. But now, he has become his loyal fan...... How many times in the UK. She misses him, misses him, and thinks about him!!
How many times did she fall asleep looking at the silhouette of his newspaper, how many times did she greet him from afar, how many times...... She felt as if she had gone a little crazy and liked this man.
No, you can't!
She warned herself, I, Qiao Anqi, can't be so easily infatuated with a man, just like Daddy said, men abandon women who are too easy to chase and don't know how to cherish.
I have to resist his temptation, yes, I am Qiao Anqi, the lady of the sky! I'm going to beat him, beat this man! Turn around and make him crazy with me and obsessed with me!
Looking back, in other words, this fate is really elusive...... No wonder some people like to say that it is yours that others can't snatch it if they want to, and if it's not yours, even if you ask for it with your life, you can't ask for it, it turns out that it's all because fate has not arrived, and the time has not come.
Hehe, Chen Xiaotang, now I'm going to show my charm, don't be obsessed with me.
Qiao Anqi secretly stuck out her tongue, with an innocent and charming smile on her face, the slender hand that was as clear as clotted fat suddenly gently put on Chen Xiaotang's arm, and the soft slender jade fingers gently stroked his arm. Again and again, I kept repeating the action of moving up and down, repeating a small temptation action.
The eyebrows are curved, the lips are slightly pursed, the peach-colored lip gloss is seductive on it, and the pair of big watery eyes under her curved willow eyebrows are even more like a meeting, looking at him with a chuckle and a smile: "To be honest, you and I have been separated for so long, have you thought about me?" ”
Suddenly, Chen Xiaotang's heart couldn't help but flutter at the smell of virginity that suddenly came to his nose on the opposite side, but he immediately put aside this trace of evil thoughts, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you didn't learn anything when you went to study in the UK, but you learned this tempting move!" ”
Qiao Anqi's laughter stopped abruptly, and she suddenly stomped her foot and said, "It's not fun, it's not fun at all!" Those movies are all deceitful, as soon as the above performance shows the beautiful woman in her arms, the male protagonist is dizzy and stupid! ”
Chen Xiaotang fainted!
