Volume 1 Chapter 200 Faith

After completing the negotiations with ODN, Lin Xiaozhi was not in a hurry to hold a press conference immediately, announcing that "Friend" had invested heavily and sold European and American films. When Noble signed the contract, he mentioned to him that he would fly to Australia immediately the next day, and that it would be three days later when he returned, and that the ODN remittance would not reach Xinya's account until three days later, so there was plenty of time left for him.

And Lin Xiaozhi is also waiting, waiting for the good news from Zhu Zhishan.

Thanks to the conflict between Mecca and Huang Baiming, which has intensified recently, the bald guy finally nodded and agreed to sell Xinyibao records in order to crack down on Huang Baiming, who was not on the right path with him. After returning from the Venice Film Festival, he immediately arranged for Zhu Zhishan to continue to contact Mecca, urging him to sign the contract as soon as possible. Before the press conference, if he can get this thing done again, the sensational effect that can be played by that time is undoubtedly what he wants most.

In order to cooperate with the release in the UK, "Killer Leon" will be released at the end of October or early November, which shows how much Lin Xiaozhi expects it. As for "Friends" directed by Ye Weixin, New Asia has already begun to work on the release of contact. At present, New Asia is contacting the two theaters of Debao and Golden Princess, and it has not yet been determined which theater company it will be released, and it may not be determined in which theater it will be released after the sensational publicity effect after the press conference, but the release time of "Friends" will be set at the end of September.

After finishing the negotiations with ODN, Lin Xiaozhi also relaxed for a while. Taking advantage of the time now, it is time to solve the contract renewal issue of Chen Baiqiang, the king of the music world, who has been coldly put aside by him for more than half a month.

For Chen Baiqiang, Lin Xiaozhi doesn't like his weak personality very much, but he admires his talent. Since his debut ten years ago with a song "Tears for You" composed by himself, Chen Baiqiang has carried half the sky of Cantonese songs with Alan Tam and Zhang Guorong in the past ten years, and has achieved the status of the king of the music world. Among them, there are many fans who are willing to spend a lot of money for him, and these people can afford to buy tickets to watch movies in theaters.

Therefore, Lin Xiaozhi will look down on the famous brand king Pan Disheng in his heart. Debao Company had resources far beyond Xinyicheng back then, not to mention that Zhou Yanfa and Hong Jinbao were let go by Pan Disheng, even Cen Jianxun, Chen Baiqiang and others who had been staying under him, and none of them had used them well.

Although Shum Jianxun has a bad mouth, his talent is indeed first-class in the industry, and under his management, Debao Film Company has the strength of RU, 87 years, Golden Harvest and New Art City. But after Cen Jianxun was rushed by Pan Disheng to manage Debao Cinemas in RR years, he was replaced by Xian Qiran, who can make movies but does not know how to operate, as the president of Debao Film Company, Debao quickly declined, and Debao, who had staged the feat of competing for prime time with Golden Harvest, Xinyicheng and Shaw Films in the past, has now fallen to the dilemma of only making small-budget films, which is even more bleak than Xinyicheng in infighting.

Chen Baiqiang can better reflect the short-sightedness of the famous brand king, not to mention the transformation of the first generation of singers Xu Guanjie and Lin Zixian, who are Chen Baiqiang's predecessors, from the king of music to the first-line stars in the film industry. You can also ignore Alan Tam and Zhang Guorong, the other two of the three brothers of the same generation as Chen Baiqiang, who are now in the film industry. Now, even several juniors in the music world, such as Zhang Xueyou and Liu Dehua, have come from behind, surpassing Chen Baiqiang's momentum.

Pan Disheng, the famous brand king, will not use such a big name that can attract money and has millions of fans, and it is no wonder that Lin Xiaozhi looks down on him.

After finishing the negotiations with ODN, Lin Xiaozhi did not choose to contact Chen Baiqiang directly, but chose to contact his agent's phone number as soon as possible.

Chen Jiaying, this woman, Lin Xiaozhi is not a stranger. There is no other reason, he knows this woman named Chen Jiaying. In other words, everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry knows it, because this still very young woman has only been an agent for three people in her life, these three people are Chen Baiqiang, Wang Fei and Eason Chan, all of whom are the kings and queens of the Chinese music scene, dominating the Chinese music scene in the 80s, 90s and the 30s and 40s of the new century.

For such a strong rememberer, Lin Xiaozhi naturally can't forget it. And Chen Jiaying and Chen Baiqiang are sisters and brothers, and it is no secret in the circle. When he learned that Chen Jiaying was now only Chen Baiqiang's sole agent, and Chen Baiqiang trusted him very much, and she had the right to decide all Chen Baiqiang's endorsements and activities, Lin Xiaozhi directly dialed his phone, not as they thought, to contact Chen Baiqiang.

"Hello Lin Sheng!"

"Hello, Miss Chen"

The two met at a café in West Kowloon, and Lin Xiaozhi was full of confidence in whether he could sign Chen Baiqiang, because he had a few trump cards in hand, and he would not make the mistakes Pan Disheng made back then.

"Waiter, bring me a cup of black coffee, no sugar and milk" waved his hand and beckoned the waiter to order a cup of coffee for himself, Lin Xiaozhi looked at Chen Jiaying, who was still very young at this time, "Miss Chen, why don't you have something?" ”

"Give me a cup of 'aI, the milk costs six points" Chen Jiaying ordered a cup of coffee from Brazil, she seems to be like most young girls, she doesn't like bitter things much, "Lin Sheng seems to be very good at drinking coffee?" Among my friends, those who can taste coffee will order black coffee

Lin Xiaozhi shook his head, "I just don't like sweetness, I would rather have a cup of black tea or soda than coffee." But since I came to the coffee shop and didn't order a cup of coffee, the store should hate customers like me the most."

The efficiency of the shop was very fast, and the waiter quickly delivered the things they ordered. Chen Jiaying took a sip of the coffee he ordered, put it on the plate and smiled: "Lin Sheng is really a wonderful person, you invited me this year, you should want to talk to me about Danny's contract renewal, right?"

Lin Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows, Chen Jiaying unexpectedly chose the way to take the lead, and came up directly to talk to him about the matter, which somewhat disrupted his plan. It can be seen that this is a strong woman, much stronger than many men.

"That's right" Lin Xiaozhi groaned slightly and directly admitted, after more than a year of development, he is no longer the boss of a leather bag film company who even had to wrench his fingers for a contract of more than one million at the beginning of the year. Now he is also a new billionaire in Hong Kong, and he wants to renew Chen Baiqiang, who is worth a lot of money, not only has that capital, but also he has a few hole cards.

Therefore, Chen Jiaying wanted to spread out the talk, but he didn't care, and directly talked to her, "I have heard of Miss Chen, and as far as I know, Miss Chen has never missed an opportunity in the past few years as Danny's agent. I believe that this time I will not make a mistake, so I never doubt that New Asia Records can renew Danny. ”

New Asia Records

Lin Xiaozhi's compliment did not shake Chen Jiaying's heart at all, but it was the new term that suddenly came out of his mouth, which made this woman's eyes flash, and she gently shook the spoon and looked at Lin Xiaozhi for a while, with a little smile on her face, "I began to understand why it has only been more than a year for Xinya to achieve such achievements, Lin Sheng is a confident person"

Putting the spoon down, she picked up the coffee and took another sip, then picked up the napkin next to her and wiped the water stains on the corner of her mouth, looking at him with an aggressive gaze: "I like to work with confident people, but Lin Sheng should know very well that the conditions offered by your Xinya are no better than the other record companies that are contacting me now." Di Sheng records are a little bigger, there is a saying that doesn't say so, it's hard to raise a real dragon in Chi Qian. With Danny's strength and popularity, he needs a bigger and broader stage. Today I just want to ask Lin Sheng, what kind of conditions can you Xinya offer, keep Danny"

Lin Xiaozhi took a sip of coffee, and the black coffee without adding anything was bitter and irritating to his taste buds, making him frown slightly. However, after sipping the coffee in his mouth for a while, he gradually felt a fresh fragrance constantly hitting his brain from his mouth, and his frown was relaxed again.

"Three points"

Putting down the coffee cup, he raised his finger and gestured to look at Chen Jiaying, and the strong confidence in his flat tone made Chen Jiaying even sit up straight and listen carefully: "Our New Asia has three advantages that any record label that has contacted Danny now can't do"

"Oh? Then I'm a little curious, can Lin Sheng explain it in detail? Chen Jiaying's voice was slightly urgent, and Lin Xiaozhi suddenly stopped halfway through her words, making her momentum stagnant, and unconsciously her aggressiveness was broken by Lin Xiaozhi's blandness.

"Of course"

Lin Xiaozhi raised a finger: "First, Danny has wasted his years at Risen Records in the past few years, and he has also lost a lot of popularity, and many of his fans have become other people's fans because of his average performance in the past few years. The loss of popularity is not something that can be regained with a record, he needs greater and broader publicity, New Asia has the best publicity team in Hong Kong, in our hands, even if it is a very ordinary movie, we can make it popular through publicity. Danny's choice to renew his contract will be the trump card of our Xinya Records in the future, so the resources we can give far more than other record companies, including Huaxing, EMI, Warner, and Polygram."

Chen Jiaying lifted her chin and listened to him continue, her focused eyes could tell that she was thinking seriously.

"Second, I have the most energetic film company in Hong Kong, and after Danny signs with New Asia Records, we will add this clause to the contract, we will prepare at least three films for Danny within three years, and even before the end of the year, we can prepare a movie for him, a movie in which he is the protagonist. Times are different, with the sluggishness of Hong Kong records in recent years, the income from concerts and selling discs alone will only get lower and lower. But the movie is different, Miss Chan may not be able to deny that among the many superstars in Hong Kong's music industry, Danny will definitely not be in the top 10 if not the lowest-paid, which is seriously inconsistent with his status in the music industry. Xu Guanjie has "Best Partner", Lin Zishen has "Three People in the World", Alan Tam has "Deserter of Love", Zhang Guorong has "A Chinese Ghost Story", Mei Yanfang has "Miracle", and even now even the juniors Liu Dehua and Zhang Xueyou have their own blockbuster movies, not only have the identity of the king of the music world but also become a first-line red star, but what does Danny have? There is not a single movie that can be handled."

Seeing that Chen Jiaying had stopped talking at all, he lowered his head and thought about it, Lin Xiaozhi didn't bother her, and after seeing her raise her head again, he picked up the cup of black coffee that had been dried and drank it all, and said his trump card: "Third, New Asia has a strong legal team, and the media can only be our toy." We will never allow our contracted singers to be subject to any criticism and attack from other gossip media and newspapers in addition to the publicity and hype arranged by our company itself."
