Chapter 234: I'll Keep It a Secret for You
I will keep your secret and speak in Huaxia. Very fluent, if you just listen to it and don't look at it, I think it's a Chinese person. However, if you look at the other party's face clearly, you can find that he is an authentic foreigner with gray hair. Emaciated face, tall and lanky figure, blue eyes.
"Who are you?" Mao Sixian stood in front of Liu Shiqing, Yang Jinfeng and others.
The man laughed and said, "Beautiful lady, please don't be nervous, I'm Michael Reeves, and I'm the vice president of Sony Records (UK) Ltd." This is my business card.
Michael Reeves took out a few business cards and handed them to Mao Sixian, Yang Jinfeng and others, and finally to Liu Shiqing. was intercepted by Chen Junwei. Sister Chen Junjie didn't give this foreigner any face, in front of him. He took out the instrument, tested the business card, and after confirming that the business card was harmless, he handed the business card to Liu Shiqing.
Michael Reeves is on the verge of spewing fire in his eyes, and he is definitely one of the most important figures in the British music industry. Even in the entire Sony Records system, he is a respected figure. Chen Junyan's actions were simply humiliating to him. If it were at another time, Michael Reeves would have to give Chen Junwei a little color, but now for his big plan. He could only endure it first.
"Hello, Mr. Reeves." Liu Shiqing nodded towards Michael Reeves, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”
Michael Reeves forced himself to show a friendly smile, "Everyone, someone has reported to me about the performance of this beautiful Miss Wang just now, I am very interested in Miss Wang and Mr. Liu, I wonder if you are interested in seeking a better and more promising development on the road of music?" Hehe, if you two are interested, you can consider joining us Sony Records. We at Sony Records are one of the top five record labels in the world, with a presence on five continents. We have a complete artist training mechanism and record distribution channels all over the world. In the Chinese music scene, Sony Records, with its strong strength and the golden lineup of many Chinese first-line singers, has become a well-deserved ace boss. ”
Liu Shiqing didn't expect Michael Reeves to run in front of him and dig up the foot of the wall, not only to poach Wang Fujia, but also to pry himself away, the chairman of the dignified Galaxy Industry.
Liu Shiqing wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he thought about it a little teasingly, "Mr. Reeves, if I agree to sign with Sony Records, what kind of remuneration can I probably get?" Do you have a house and a car? ”
Michael, Reeves knew that no one would refuse their invitation to Sony Records, he puffed up his chest, his expression became a little arrogant, and said in a condescending tone: "If you can sign a contract, you must first receive a systematic training, and then the company will evaluate you according to your ability, and finally give you a salary that is suitable for your status." If you want to live in a luxury house and drive a famous car, maybe in a year or two. I can't do it, but it's not a problem to live in a palace with a good environment and drive a mid-to-high-end car. If you can cooperate well with the company, your income will definitely get better and better. ”
Mao Sixian, Chen Junhan and others all felt that this Michael Reeves was really funny and cola, and he was actually in front of Liu Shiqing. Talk about what luxury cars are. In this world, if even Liu Shiqing can't afford these things, there are not many people who can afford them.
Liu Shiqing said: "Mr. Reeves, can you give me a draft of the contract and let me study it, if you can." I would consider signing up with your company. ”
Michael Reeves took a copy out of his briefcase, "According to the rules, you can't show you the text of the contract until you sign the contract, but in view of Mr. Liu's excellent performance, I will make this exception." I hope that Mr. Liu will give me a satisfactory answer after careful study
After Michael Reeves left, Liu Shiqing handed over the text to Mao Sixian, "Aunt Mao, take it, when we form Galaxy Performing Arts in the future, this text will also have reference value." ”
Mao Sixian forced a smile and put the text away. Liu Shiqing is really a bit of a goose plucking, obviously it is impossible to sign a contract with Sony Records, and he also asked for a contract draft from Michael Reeves.
Christopher Blair hurried in, "Dear Liu, I saw Michael Reeves from Sony Records just now. Did he come to you? ”
Liu Shiqing nodded, "That's right, he came to contact us on behalf of Sony Records, and said that he wanted to sign me and Wang Fujia as artists under the name of Sony Records." ”
Christopher Blair asked, "Did you say yes?" ”
Liu Shiqing smiled: "It's still under consideration." ”
Christopher Blair breathed a sigh of relief, "Dear Liu, Sony Records belongs to the Japanese and Americans, not us British, and there is a certain problem of adaptation. If you and Wang are interested in developing with us in the UK, it's best not to sign to Sony Records. I recommend EMI Records, our oldest record label in the UK. I know the VP of EMI Records, and if you're interested, I can match you up. ”
Liu Shiqing said: "Thank you. Mr. Blair, I will consider your construction. ”
Christopher Blair was very busy, and after reminding Liu Shiqing, he went to work on his business. Chen Junwei patted Liu Shiqing on the shoulder. "Uncle Xiao, I didn't expect you to be quite popular. It's only been a long time before two major record companies have started to rob you. You have to be careful not to be pulled in half by them. ”
"Get out of the way. I know how to say this kind of cool words that haven't changed. Liu Shiqing smiled
Road.
The concert continued, and the atmosphere of the audience did not become dull as the night deepened. On the contrary, as the pace of the Olympics approaches, the audience's emotions are getting higher and higher, and if the concert continues until the official opening of the Olympic Games, there will be audiences who will stick to it.
The concert was scheduled to last three hours, but it was approaching eleven o'clock in the evening, and the concert was coming to an end. Christopher Blair found Liu Shiqing, "Dear Liu. There's one more show, and it's time for you and your companions to show, so get them ready quickly. Listen to me and get ready to play. ”
Without waiting for Liu Shiqing's instructions, Mao Sijian Yi began to prepare Tong Ruoyun, Zhao Xinting and Yang Rongfeng. The third girl has been taking advantage of the opportunity to play, but when the opportunity really came, she began to be a little nervous. Xia Kangtian is a person who has come over. Let them relax as much as possible and not be nervous.
In the midst of the chaos, it was Tong Ruoyun and Zhao Xinting's turn to play, the former used a pipa instrument, and the latter used a banhu. The repertoire of the ensemble of the two is a piece of music that Liu Shiqing took from the music library of the future world.
Pipa table xiàn its lingering lingering. Banhu table xiàn in which high-pitched, excited. The two instruments are like a pair of lovers, expressing their love for each other. There is a passage in which the music is extremely upbeat, which is particularly in line with the theme of today's concert.
The two women walked to the stage, bowed to the audience below, then set up the microphone stand, sat down, and lit up their instruments. There was an uproar off the stage. Countless voices of discussion rushed to the sky.
Today's concert is a Western-style concert, from beginning to end is not a European singer, or a singer from the United States, Xia Kangtian is a good song of a good flower, in the United Kingdom is also a well-known song. But now it is obvious that it is a woman from Huaxia, holding two typical musical instruments from Huaxia, appearing on the stage, and many people think it is incredible.
Many Europeans have a curious mentality towards China, and there are also many Europeans who indiscriminately have a strong rejection of a qiē from China, whether it is a physical commodity or intangible music, which is unacceptable to them. Many Europeans don't hide their thoughts at all, and immediately express their feelings, without waiting for Tong Ruoyun and Zhao Xinting to start performing, and make a noise. The sound of cheering began. The police, who were maintaining order around them, saw that something was wrong and began to approach the stage.
There was no one throwing rotten eggs, Xihongjie or anything like that on the stage, probably because the audience was not prepared in advance. Tong Ruoyun and Zhao Xinting, the two little girls, felt the turmoil in the audience and became even more nervous. Seeing that the two of them were in danger of messing up this performance, Mao Sixian shouted: "Tong Ruoyun, Zhao Xinting." Close your eyes when the people below the stage do not exist zài. ”
Chen Junjie shouted: "Just take them as guesses."
Before Chen Junwei finished speaking, Tao Hatian was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his mouth, "Company Commander Chen, you must be cautious, if you cause diplomatic disputes, you are criticized and affect Mr. Liu and me, you will be guilty of too much." ”
There are thousands of audiences under the stage, and there are people who can understand Huaxia if someone catches Chen Junjie's jokes. Making a big fuss can really lead to unnecessary trouble.
The second half of Sister Chen's words made Tao Hatian blocked, but Tong Ruoyun and Zhao Xinting are both authentic Chinese, how could they not know what Sister Chen wanted to say. The two girls burst into tears and laughed, and their tense spirits were suddenly relieved.
The two sat upright, Tong Ruoyun took the lead in plucking the strings of the pipa, and bright and soft notes came out from the silk strings, and after a while, the banhu also sounded. The notes of two different musical instruments cater to each other, sometimes walking by the river, sometimes rippling in the sky, sometimes lingering, sometimes causing a little conflict, a small contradiction.
This piece seemed to have a magical power, and after only less than a minute of playing, the audience who had been a little riotous in the audience couldn't help but be immersed in the music. They forgot about race, forgot about estrangement, abandoned prejudices, and listened to and appreciated this piece of music for the first time in public from a purely musical perspective.
The length of the piece is only about ten minutes, and when the last note bursts out of the strings of Banhu, there is a brief cold scene under the stage, and then bursts into applause and whistles like a landslide and tsunami. Screams, one after another. After a few moments, the audience on the stage began to clap rhythmically. This is the highest praise given to an artist by Westerners. Tong Ruoyun and Zhao Xinting repeatedly came to the stage to thank them, and finally Christopher Blair took the stage in person to explain, and Tong Ruoyun and Zhao Xinting withdrew from the stage. As soon as the two girls got off the stage, they hugged each other excitedly. Undoubtedly, today's performance of both of them was very successful.
Mao Sixian glanced at Liu Shiqing, who was confident, and was once again impressed by this big boss who was only five or six years older than his son. From beginning to end, she didn't find that Liu Shiqing was in a hurry, it seemed that today's qiē was taken for granted, or that today's qiē changes were all in his expectation. The boss's self-confidence has also strengthened.
After Tong Ruoyun and Zhao Xinting hugged, the two made a move that no one expected, rushed to Liu Shiqing's side, hugged Liu Shiqing in the middle, and kissed Liu Shiqing on the face. Liu Shiqing's left and right faces happened to be divided between the two women.
Chen Junjie looked at Liu Shiqing's slightly embarrassed smile, and secretly had fun without a heart, and when the two girls let go of Liu Shiqing, they leaned into Liu Shiqing's ear and whispered: Uncle Xiao. You can rest assured. I will keep it a secret for you. I will definitely not tell my little aunt what I saw today
Liu Shiqing glared at Chen Junwei fiercely, but this glance really had no deterrent effect, and Chen Junjie had already begun to get tired. He didn't have much fear of Liu Shiqing, one by one. Uncle Junior. "Most of it is also for fun, plus Liu Shibi and him are a year apart, so they are familiar with each other, and they become friends.
Yang Jinfeng was the last to play, the instrument she brought this time was the Dong Xiao, and the repertoire she played was also intercepted by Liu Shiqing from the music library of the future world, and Wang Fujia, Tong Ruoyun, and Zhao Xinting played the music that was the expression of the lingering love between men and women. The table shows a picture of a family surfing on the beach.
The sea breeze is gentle, the seabirds fly against the sea, the waves come from time to time, the parents lie on the beach on the shore, chatting, the elder brother takes the younger sister, surfing and playing in the sea, the family is happy, so warm.
This piece is also very infectious, trying to touch people's hearts from beginning to end, the memory of home, which is probably the softest place in people's hearts.
After Yang Jinfeng finished playing, there was also warm applause, but compared to Tong Ruoyun and Zhao Xinting, it was a little weaker, but overall, Yang Jinji's performance was also very successful. (To be continued)
