Chapter 85: Beyond (Part 4)
In the face of the olive branch thrown by the upstart of the film industry and the king of the music industry, it is difficult for ordinary people to refuse, and Zhou Huimin is no exception. learned that Dark Horse Records was jointly established by Chen Ping'an and Luo Dayou, and she happily promised Luo Dayou that she would go to Dark Horse Records to sign a contract tomorrow.
Before getting out of the car, Chen Ping'an suddenly stopped her: "You wait a minute." β
"Mr. Chen, are you okay?"
Chen Ping'an took out a check from his pocket and stuffed it into Zhou Huimin's hand, Zhou Huimin opened it and looked: "100,000 yuan? Mr. Chen, what do you mean by that! As he spoke, he threw the check back to Chen Ping'an.
"Don't get me wrong, it's your signing fee." Pulling Zhou Huimin's soft hair, Chen Ping'an stuffed the check into her hand, "Take it, go back and tell your mother, you are about to become a big star, so that she doesn't have to work so hard anymore." In addition, the company will arrange a dormitory for you, and you can bring your mother to live with you. β
"Mr. Chen......" Zhou Huimin's eyes instantly moistened, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Chen Ping'an.
Zhou Huimin is a fatherless widow, and her mother gave birth to her at the age of 44. When she was in kindergarten, her mother discovered her musical talent and worked several part-time jobs to buy a piano for her, but she could no longer afford to hire a piano teacher.
Their mother and daughter live with their grandmother, and their economic conditions are very poor. In order to support the whole family, her mother had to work two jobs a day, go out before dawn, and work as a cook in a restaurant at night.
Participating in the rookie singing competition, in addition to her love for music, she also wants to sign a contract with Huaxing and make money to support her family.
How Chen Ping'an knew about his family's situation, Zhou Huimin didn't know, and she didn't want to ask. Holding the check in her hand and feeling the warmth from Chen Ping'an's palm, she didn't know how to express her inner touch, so she could only choke up and say: "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Chen......"
"What are you crying about, today is a good day for you." Chen Ping'an gently wiped away her tears, "If you really want to thank me, practice singing well in the future, and make more money for me." β
This sounds like a landowner, but Zhou Huimin's heart is like a mirror, and he understands that this is Chen Ping'an comforting himself, holding Chen Ping'an's thug hard, and moving: "I will definitely not let Mr. Chen down." β
"Wipe away your tears before getting out of the car. Otherwise, if someone else sees it, tomorrow's newspaper may not know how to arrange me. β
Zhou Huimin burst into tears and laughed, only then did he realize that the two of them clasped their hands, and withdrew their hands with a red face and a little embarrassment: "No matter what the newspaper writes, Mr. Chen is the best person in the world, and so is Mr. Luo." β
How do I feel like a head? Luo Dayou thought so. When Zhou Huimin wiped away his tears and got out of the car, he asked Chen Ping'an: "Are you interesting to her?" β
"Why do you ask?"
"Feeling." Luo Dayou nodded approvingly, "Her table today is also in the middle and upper, and there are many players who are better than her, but her appearance is pure and sweet." Don't tell me you're not going to sign her because she's pretty, or you'll have a check ready in advance? also has a signing fee, 100,000 yuan is enough to buy a small unit. β
"You're out of sight. She will become the head of the Hong Kong Jade Girl in the future, whether it is a beautiful song or a sweet play, I don't believe we can make a bet. β
"Too lazy to bet with you. I'm going to say it in the front, it's okay to sign her, but if her table doesn't satisfy me, I won't arrange for her to make her debut. β
"No problem."
"One more thing, the company hasn't finished renovating yet, where is the dormitory?"
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, I have two apartments not far from the company, just choose one for her to live in." But don't tell her, just say that the company is optimistic about her and specially arranged a dormitory for her. β
"Tsk, do you dare to say that you don't want to pursue others?"
"I ...... Uh, how did you get back? Chen Ping'an was just about to explain, when the car door was suddenly opened, and Zhou Huimin bent down to look at him, his face was red and his eyes were wet.
After Zhou Huimin got out of the car just now, he suddenly thought of having something to ask Luo Dayou, and after turning back, he happened to pass through the car window that was not closed tightly, and heard the conversation between Chen Ping'an and Luo Dayou.
"You...... Anything else? Chen Ping'an subconsciously glanced at Zhou Huimin's low-hanging neckline, and the two white and tender semicircles were clearly visible.
Zhou Huimin didn't speak for a long time, biting her lip and her face became more and more red. Suddenly, she leaned into the car, kissed Chen Ping'an on the lips, and then turned around and ran, like a frightened deer.
"Hahahaha!" Luo Dayou laughed loudly, "A'an, now you are satisfied." It's time to get down to business, I think the three boys in the Grasshopper Band are good, why haven't your guys brought them in yet? β
The Grasshopper Band is composed of Cai Yizhi, Cai Yijie, and Su Zhiwei, and is named because their surnames are all grass.
The reaction of the three young men was diametrically opposed to that of Zhou Huimin. The failure of the rookie singing competition did not dampen their confidence, and after following the dwarf cow and Luo Dayou's assistant, they recognized Luo Dayou at first sight. Knowing that Luo Dayou was optimistic about them and invited them to join the Dark Horse Record Company, the three of them jumped excitedly.
However, Chen Ping'an gave another choice. Chen Ping'an told them that Dark Horse Records had just been established, and its energy and resources were temporarily limited, which was not enough to open up the market for them in the short term. If they are willing, he will recommend them to Anita Mui, follow Anita Mui to develop their singing career, and if they want to in the future, they can also join Dark Horse International.
The three finally chose Chen Ping'an's Jianyì. Chen Ping'an called Anita Mui on the spot, and then handed his business card to the three of them, asking the three of them to take their business cards to Anita Mui tomorrow.
After the three of them left, Luo Dayou couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and roared: "A'an, are you serious about engaging in a record company!" "The optimistic Grasshopper Band was pushed to Anita Mui by Chen Ping'an; Zhou Huimin, who was not optimistic, signed into the company because of Chen Ping'an.
"Brother Dayou, why be angry? I'm serious about the record label, of course, but with the company's current energy resources, I don't think it's possible to build two bands at the same time. β
"Two bands? Who else? β
βBeyondοΌβ
Recommending the Grasshopper Band to Anita Mui's side does not mean that Chen Ping'an is not optimistic about them, but because there is an opportunity to sign a mature Grasshopper Band two years later. In addition, he wants Luo Dayou to concentrate on bringing beyond to the market first.
Liang Jiahui and Dwarf Niu had already helped Chen Ping'an find beyond, but Chen Ping'an had been waiting for Luo Dayou, so they didn't alarm them. At this time, beyond was still an underground band, although it paid for its own efforts, rented the Hong Kong Island Caritas Center, rented its own audio, clothing, and sold tickets, and opened a "forever waiting" concert as an underground band, but it was still not famous, and Luo Dayou had never heard of it at all.
He followed Chen Ping'an to a basement, where he met the four young men of the band Beyond for the first time. To be honest, beyond's first impression of Luo Dayou was not good.
In the dim and empty basement, the four sons of beyond were practicing songs, and Luo Dayou shook his head secretly when he heard it outside the door. At this time, the members of the beyond band were still unstable, and they lacked the guidance and systematic training of famous teachers, and there were many deficiencies.
Chen Ping'an and Luo Dayou led people into the basement and interrupted the four sons' singing. Huang Jiaju recognized Luo Dayou first, and the four of them hurriedly put down the musical instrument in their hands and ran over to say hello.
Luo Dayou responded casually, and asked Chen Ping'an dissatisfied: "This is one of the most promising bands in Hong Kong that you said?" β
Chen Ping'an nodded: "That's right, a future palace-level rock band." β
Palace-level? Luo Dayou's head was full of black lines, and the four sons of beyond were full of surprise, the band has been formed for two or three years, and no one has ever praised them like this, even if they believe that they will be able to soar into the sky sooner or later, but they have never thought of linking it with the word "palace level".
"Give me some time." Chong Luo Dayou smiled slightly, Chen Ping'an turned to Huang Jiaju: "Can you borrow me the guitar?" β
The four sons of beyond hadn't recognized Chen Ping'an yet, but they just felt that he was a little familiar. Huang Jiaju handed his guitar to Chen Ping'an, who flicked the test twice, and then walked over to face Luo Dayou and Sizi, and played and sang to himself.
"Boredom looked at it and hesitated,
It's not easy to get to the ideal;
Even with faith,
The fighting spirit is suppressed;
Who will let me go or stay,
Fix the universe in my heart;
β¦β¦β
This Cantonese version of "No More Hesitation" is a very inspirational song that inspires young people not to hesitate in the face of difficulties and setbacks, to face difficulties and realize their ideals. Chen Ping'an sang it three times, and then looked at the four sons: "Can you sing this song "No More Hesitation"?" β
In the eyes of the four sons of beyond, this song "No More Hesitation" completely expresses their hearts. Although the future of the band is bleak, they have never bowed their heads in the face of difficulties and setbacks, and they have never thought of giving up, and they have never hesitated to work hard for future success.
The four of them glanced at each other, nodded in unison, and Huang Jiaju asked with a little excitement, "Can you give us ten minutes to prepare?" β
"No problem." Chen Ping'an walked down and returned the guitar to Huang Jiaju, "Sing well, I'm very optimistic about you." β
"Hmm." The four nodded vigorously.
Chen Ping'an returned to Luo Dayou's side and asked, "How is it?" β
"Good song, it's a pity."
"By pity, you don't mean that I ruined this song, right?"
Luo Dayou nodded with a smile, throwing out the biggest doubt in his heart: "You also wrote this song?" β
"Guess."
"No More Hesitation" was sung by Chen Ping'an on the guitar, and the four sons of beyond needed time to adapt. With the Huang family sentences, this is not a problem at all, they finished the adaptation after eight minutes, took two minutes to adapt, and then sang loudly.
This song brought them a lot of feelings, from the bottom of their hearts. Although they only listened to it three times and was hastily adapted, this song sang their hearts, and they sang it very devotedly and vividly and vividly.
"They're probably the right people to host this song." Luo Dayou muttered, his expression gradually became serious, and he listened carefully to the singing of the fourth son, and his eyes showed appreciation.
At the end of the song, he took the lead and asked loudly, "Are you interested in joining our record label?" β
