Chapter Eighty-Eight: Let's Go to America

"Hu Weili." The middle-aged man with glasses seemed a little nervous, and he said his name respectfully.

When Jester heard the name, he immediately sighed, he remembered who this person was, he had indeed heard of this person, but he had not seen the other party's photo, so he didn't remember it for a while.

This is still a professor of the Conservatory of Music, who is still not well-known, studied under the first generation of music masters of the Republic, the first principal of the alto Mr. Ma Sicong, after he came to Hong Kong, he worked for TVB TVB, in the years when TVB worked for TVB, he almost completed the soundtrack of all TVB TV by himself, at that time, TVB filmed less than 400 episodes of dramas a year, he wrote more than 300 episodes of soundtracks alone, entered the recording studio from 8 o'clock in the morning every day, and was busy until 2 o'clock in the evening, rain or shine, and various styles of songs were at hand. Not only that, but he also wrote songs for many singers, and even had hundreds of movie soundtracks, leaving countless classics.

It can even be said unceremoniously that he is the most outstanding composer in Hong Kong after Koo Ka-fai.

Of course, Jester definitely can't say that he has admired it for a long time, after all, it is logically impossible for him to know this person, so he just nodded quietly, smiled and said: "Then can you trouble this Professor Hu to go back and bring a few pieces of music written by himself, the difficulty and style are different, I will see if it is suitable, if it is suitable, I will not be less paid." ”

Hearing this, Hu Weili's thin face instantly showed a hint of joy.

"Thank you so much." The Ministry of Culture official was obviously a good friend of Hu Weili, and when he saw that Hu Weili was not very good at coming to trouble, he pulled his friend, stood up, and thanked Jester repeatedly.

Jester also stood up, he still had some thoughts about Hu Weili's big Buddha, and naturally he couldn't leave a bad impression in front of the other party, so he also stood up, put on a polite corporal, waved his hand and said with a smile: "No thanks, what's there to thank for, just take what you need." As he spoke, Jester looked at Hu Weili, who was standing aside, a little cramped, and said with a smile, "Just wait for Professor Hu to come over by himself, I'll wait here, but it's better to hurry, I'm going to go to the south, maybe I'll leave the capital tomorrow." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I'll find out the best songs I've written over the years as soon as I go back, and as for the price, you can just look at it!" Hu Weili gritted his teeth and said.

After lunch, Jester wanted to take a lunch break, but just as he wanted to go to bed, a waiter came to inform him that the professor surnamed Hu, who had been here in the morning, had come to visit him again.

Jester had already informed the waiter before, so now Hu Weili was already waiting in the reception room in the morning.

As soon as he entered the reception room, Jester saw Hu Weili sitting on the sofa, and on one side of his body, there was a black leather bag that was common in this era, the leather bag was bulging, obviously containing a lot of things.

Seeing Jester come in, Hu Weili also stood up as soon as possible and shouted respectfully.

"Mr. Lee."

Jester smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Sit down, don't be so polite, I'm almost thirty years younger than you, you are so polite, what should I do." ”

Sitting face to face with Hu Weili, Jester could see that Hu Weili was still a little restrained, his eyes wandered, as if he wanted to say something, but Jester didn't take the initiative to speak, and he didn't dare to speak.

Faced with this situation, Jester only smiled and pointed to the black leather bag beside Hu Weili and took the initiative to speak.

"What's in it for all your songs?"

"Ahh......h Yes, yes, I have carefully selected them. Hearing Jester's question, Hu Weili first whined twice as if he was frightened, and then came back to his senses, he nodded again and again, and kept saying yes.

"Huh." Jester smiled, he pointed to the already brewed Yuqian Longjing on the table, and said, "Professor Hu, let's have a cup of tea first, don't be so nervous, I'll take a look at your tune first, and then we'll talk about it carefully, what do you think." ”

"Okay." Hu Weili picked up the teacup and nodded a little nervously.

In fact, Jester didn't know anything about the music at all, not to mention the staves, even the simple notation he couldn't understand, he only knew 1234567 seven scales, and he could still know a little bit about the seven when they were separated, but he couldn't understand them after the seven scales were connected.

And what Hu Weili brought this time was a whole leather bag, a thick manuscript paper of hundreds of pages, all written on it were some staves, he didn't even know the symbols, but this did not prevent him from pretending to look through the pages one by one, and even nodded while reading, as if showing an appreciative expression.

Hu Weili also looked at Jester's expression a little nervously, he was a little restless, and he didn't know if the scores he wrote could be favored by the other party.

Although he didn't quite believe that the other party, who was less than 20 years old, had high musical attainments, even if the other party was a genius, he didn't believe that the other party could find any loopholes in the tunes he had carefully hammered out for more than 20 years, but after all, he heard from his friends who worked in the Ministry of Culture that this rich man was from the United States, and he didn't know how much he was worth, but he came to China to invest hundreds of millions.

Hu Weili didn't know whether it was true or not, but just from the fact that the other party could live in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, he knew that the other party's origin was definitely not small.

A few years ago, when Diaoyutai was listed for business, he also read the news that the cheapest room cost as many as a few hundred dollars a day, and the most expensive was a few thousand dollars, and he, a full-time professor of alto, only paid a few dozen yuan a month.

What a world of difference.

Thinking of this, he also sighed.

In school, he also heard that many colleagues have gone to the sea, it is said that he just goes to the south to bring some electronic products back to the north, and he can earn hundreds of yuan at a time, and his wife has told him many times to let him go to the sea too, but he still can't make up his mind.

He genuinely loves music.

When he went to Mr. Ma Sicong for lessons, Mr. Ma just listened to him play the violin, and then asked him about his situation, and then decided to take him as an apprentice without taking a penny, which was three years, until Mr. Ma went to the United States before Buzz. Since then, he has developed a high respect for music, a kind of inheritance that he has received from Mr. Ma.

After more than half an hour, Jester put down the manuscript paper that he had not read for most of it.

This also made Hu Weili nervous, he thought that the other party didn't fancy his work, but he didn't expect Jester's eyes to be full of appreciation, Hu Weili could clearly see the other party's undisguised appreciation for himself from the other party's eyes.

"Professor Hu, I don't want to talk to you about your tunes now, I just want to ask you, what is your monthly salary in China now?" Jester looked at Hu Weili, who was a little nervous, and asked with a smile.

Plum...... Mr. Li, what are you ......" Jester's question made Hu Weili a little puzzled, he didn't know what the other party suddenly asked about his salary, and suddenly stammered a little.

"Huh."

Jester smiled lightly: "Professor Hu, I have only read a little bit of your manuscripts, although my music level is not high, but the level of appreciation is still a little, it is really excellent, I will give you a bottom, just with your leather bag of songs, I can directly give you a hundred times the price of your current salary." ”

Hu Weili was taken aback by these words, his mouth opened and did not close, he stretched out four fingers in disbelief, and his voice trembled: "Four...... Four thousand! ”

Jester nodded, then he shook his head again, and then he said in a very serious tone: "This is just the money that you can get in your hands, I'm afraid that if you give you too much, you won't get this money." ”

Hu Weili listened to Jester's words and stopped, but after thinking for a while, he sighed, the other party said well, if you give yourself too much money, it is very likely that the money does not belong to you.

"So I want to ask you, are you interested in going to the United States to work for me? Do the soundtrack work, give the game the soundtrack. Jester said something in a very bland tone tone that seemed to be a thunderbolt in Hu Weili's ears.

"Go...... Going to the United States? ”

Hu Weili was still a little sluggish, he couldn't turn a corner for a while, didn't he say that he wanted to buy his songs? How did it turn out that he was going to the United States?

Jester just waited quietly for the other party's answer after finishing speaking.

However, after Hu Weili came back to his senses, he was obviously still a little hesitant, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it.

Jester remembered that Hu Weili would go to Hong Kong in two years and eventually immigrate to Canada, and it stands to reason that he would not refuse his proposal, after all, the current United States is more attractive than the mainland, especially for these intellectuals who are not conceited and have to be forced to sell tea and eggs.

Although I don't want to admit it, in this era, in the eyes of many people, even the vast majority of people, the moon abroad is rounder than at home.

Although Jester scoffs at this, it doesn't prevent him from taking advantage of this.

It may be that the other party has not really made up his mind yet, so Jester decides to add another fire to him.

So, Jester continued.

"Professor Hu, to be honest, how much time do you have here to do the work you love? I'll help you do the math, maybe you only have 10 percent of the time to compose music, and the other 90 percent you have to deal with political studies, personnel disputes, and to get through the way and joints in order to get a little work. And in the U.S., I can promise you that you'll spend 90 percent of your time doing the work you love, writing tunes, sounding games, and even sounding movies, and I can promise you that. ”

Jester looked at Hu Weili and said in a very sincere tone, "I can assure you that if you go to the United States, the basic salary I will give you will definitely not be less than five thousand dollars per month." ”

When Hu Weili heard Jester's words, his hands trembled involuntarily, his eyes were even a little tearful, and his tone was a little choked.

"Mr. Li, no need to say any more, I'll go to the United States with you."

Hearing the other party's reply, Jester also breathed a sigh of relief, he finally got a real god-level soundtrack master for his game company, as for the problem of his rhythm game music library, in front of Hu Weili, a prolific master, it is simply not a problem.
