Xu Guanwu made a final decision at a critical moment, and successfully put Richard and David in charge of this huge amount of money. When the meeting was over, the bankers did not leave in dismay, but immediately approached Richard and David to provide them with the best possible service in order to get a piece of the pie.

Seeing this, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but sigh that there are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests. Just now, these bankers and investors still treat Richard and David TV as enemies. But in the blink of an eye, they came up to make friends with them, as if the guy who had just glared at them was not theirs.

Xu Guanwu shook his head helplessly and turned around and was about to leave, but Daryl chased after him and said, "Xu, are you leaving, don't leave in such a hurry, we have a drinking party later." ”

Xu Guanwu smiled and waved his hand, "I won't participate in the cocktail party, remember to leave two bottles of good wine for me." I still have some things, so I won't accompany you for now. ”

"Alright then, I'll get you out of here." Darryl nodded, "Thanks to you this time, Richard and David were able to get hold of this fund, thank you so much." ”

"Don't thank me yet, we have an ancient Chinese saying that Saiong loses his horse, and he doesn't know if it's a blessing." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Richard and David have such a large sum of money, they will definitely be targeted by many people, and it is difficult to say whether it will be a blessing or a tragedy when the time comes." ”

"Don't worry, I think they'll be measured." Darryl said with a smile and sent Xu Guanwu out the door.

……

Xu Guanwu returned to the villa, but saw Deng Lijun greeted him with joy, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

"What's good to make you happy like this. Speak up and listen. Let me have some fun too. Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing.

"David. Geffen just called. I said that my album has eyebrows, so let me go and watch it in the afternoon. Deng Lijun said with a smile.

"That's a really good idea." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "Congratulations, Teresa!" In the future, you can become a world-class singer. ”

"But, Ah Wu, if I release an album this time, the birth of a baby may have to be postponed." Deng Lijun was overshadowed and said, "I can't perform on stage with a baby." That would be bad for your baby's development. ”

Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "You're right, then what do you decide to do, do you want to have a baby, or do you want your own career?" ”

Deng Lijun couldn't help but sit down on the sofa dejectedly when he heard him ask, "I can't make up my mind, you know, I can release an album in the United States." What an honorable thing it should be for us Chinese singers. If I can make a name for myself in the United States this time. I can go back to Taiwan with honor, and I don't have to worry about the impact of this passport incident. BUT I PROMISED TO HELP YOU HAVE A BABY AGAIN, AND IF I GO BACK ON MY WORD NOW, I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU. ”

"Teresa, don't worry, I know what you want." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "From my observation in the past few days since I came to the United States, although you seem to be very happy, but occasionally you look out the window, and you still inadvertently reveal a trace of sadness. I knew that you actually belonged to the stage, and it was too wronged for you to live in the United States for a year. I think you should go back to the stage, that's where you should be. We might as well put the child's affairs first, and when you get tired of singing one day, we will raise a baby again. ”

Seeing that Xu Guanwu was so considerate, Deng Lijun couldn't help but throw herself into his arms and cry, "Ah Wu, thank you." ”

"Fool, thank you." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Okay, don't cry, your eyes are red from crying, it's not good to go out to meet people in the afternoon." Wipe away your tears, let's go out for a good meal and have a good show in the afternoon. Let those foreign devils see that we Chinese are not vegetarians. OK?！ ”

"Yes." When Deng Lijun heard him say this, he couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed.

……

In the afternoon, Xu Guanwu accompanied Deng Lijun to Mermaid Records again. This time David. Geffen really didn't dare to underestimate Xu Guanwu and the two anymore, and welcomed the two into the company with a smile all the way, "Stanley, Teresa, this is the album plan we have designed for you in the past two days, you can take a look at it first, is there anything inappropriate." "David. Geffen handed over a stack of papers.

Deng Lijun took it and glanced at it and put it down, all the words written on it were in English, and she almost couldn't read it. Seeing this, Xu Guanwu copied it and opened it to see that it included the theme of the album, color pages, song lists, MVs, etc., with more than 100,000 words. Geffen really bothered.

Xu Guanwu looked down carefully, and saw David. Geffen's theme for this album is "Love from Shanghi", making full use of Deng Lijun's Chinese characteristics to give hype.

The city is very famous in Europe and the United States, and it has been mentioned in many literary works, and it is regarded as the romantic Paris of the East.

The title of "Pearl of the Orient" was actually used to praise Shanghi earlier, but later Luo Dayou's song "Pearl of the Orient" was too widely circulated, and Shanghi was not as good as Hong Kong in terms of economy and culture at that time, so he could only reluctantly take off the crown of "Pearl of the Orient". However, since the reform and opening up, Shanghi has been revitalized again, and now it has far surpassed Hong Kong in terms of economy and culture.

Lao Shanghi represents a special era, a special feeling, ten miles of foreign fields, bright lights, beautiful women like clouds. It is a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor, where sin and evil appear in their own extremes, and is regarded as a paradise for gold diggers and adventurers.

Xu Guanwu didn't have any opinion on this topic, and to be honest, it was the first time he saw David. When Geffen came up with this idea, he was almost taken aback. Unexpectedly, Americans are quite reliable in doing things, and they even think of the theme of "old man hi", which is really surprising to him.

The theme of an album is the core of the album, and everything in the future revolves around this theme, the playlist, the coloring pages, the MV. propaganda and so on. If the theme is interesting enough. Then an album is already half the battle.

Focusing on the theme of "Love from the High", David. Geffen selected twelve songs, including some cheerful dance music and some soft love songs, in addition to selecting seven songs from Xu Guanwu's songs, he also sincerely invited five songs from other songwriters to make up twelve songs for Deng Lijun to sing.

"Why, aren't my songs good enough? Or are you going to keep it for other singers? Xu Guanwu saw that a few unfamiliar songs appeared in the song list, and couldn't help but stare at David . Geffen Road.

"Alas, don't get me wrong, your songs are really good, but they don't match the theme of our album, and if you add them, it will damage the harmony of the whole record." David. Geffen quickly explained.

Xu Guanwu didn't know that making a record was so troublesome, he thought that as long as it was a good song, it would be fine. "Teresa, does what he says make sense?" Xu Guanwu put David. Geffen's words were relayed.

"There is indeed such a statement, and he is very right." Deng Lijun nodded and said. "Songs with very different styles mixed together can really feel cluttered. It's like eating steak dipped in vinegar. Not at all. ”

Xu Guanwu saw that Deng Lijun also said the same, so he had no choice but to nod and say, "By the way, how is the quality of your songs, don't just find a few songs to do things." If not, tell me sooner, I have a good song. ”

"Don't worry, these songs are good, I swear to you." David. Geffen waved his hand and said, "I attach more importance to this album than you, in order to make this album, I specially asked someone to bring Teresa's album from Chinatown, Japan, and Taiwan back to study." You really think I've been playing these days, this plan wasn't written with a pat on the head. ”

"Okay, okay, I misunderstood you, I apologize to you." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "It's good that the song is good, but I plan to use this album to make Teresa popular." ”

Xu Guanwu looked down as he spoke, and soon saw the MV, which made him frown, "Why is this MV so simple, there is not even a plot, just standing in front of the curtain and singing, what are you doing?" ”

"Why, everyone's MV is like this, what tricks are you going to play?" David. Geffen asked depressedly.

Xu Guanwu frowned, he didn't expect David. Geffen's concept is still so old-fashioned. In Hong Kong, singers have already released albums with MVs like small movies, why is the American record industry so developed, and the development of MVs is indeed so backward? Didn't they notice the strengths of this kind of narrative MV? Or do they disdain to learn from the advanced experience of other regions?!

Xu Guanwu later learned that the American record industry really disdains to learn from the advanced experience of other regions, and they usually only pay attention to the record market in countries such as Europe and the United States, and they have never paid much attention to the Asian market. One is that the market is immature, and the record sales used to make a few dollars, and the other is that the United States always has a sense of being the eldest and the second in the post-war period, so except for some countries in Western Europe, other countries and regions are disdainful in their eyes. This is also the reason why Hong Kong films in East Asia can sell better than Western films, because people don't pay attention to this market at all.

"I'm going to make the MV as if it's a movie, like this song 'RIGHTHEREWAITING' could be made into a woman talking to her boyfriend on the phone, and then the montage flashes through their previous relationship, and finally ends with the woman crying." Xu Guanwu explained.

David. Geffen frowned, "You don't have to do this, if you do this, it will increase the cost a lot." It's at least a hundred thousand dollars to shoot such a MV. ”

"Money should be spent, you have to spend it, you get a set, and then let people stand in front of you and sing, it does save money, but it's too simple." Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

David. Seeing that he insisted, Geffen had no choice but to agree first, "Is there anything else to pay attention to?" ”

"Well, you are not allowed to take the sexy route, you are not allowed to show points, you can't have kissing shots, and you can only hug at most." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said.

David. Geffen listened with black lines, to be honest, his wife Xue'er is also a singer under the company, but she also takes the sexy route, vacuuming at every turn, and has scandals with many men, he is not as strict as Xu Guanwu. In David. In Geffen's view, Xu Guanwu is like a dictatorial king.

"I wonder if you're from the Middle Ages, and you're too conservative." David. Geffen couldn't help but spit out.

"You don't talk nonsense, in short, these are my bottom line, you must not be offended. Otherwise, even if it's a friend, they won't have a word to say. Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

David. Seeing that he was so serious, Geffen had no choice but to nod and agree, and then turned his head to Deng Lijun and said, "I really can't figure it out, how can you still live in peace with him if he restricts your freedom so much?" ”

"Get out!" When Xu Guanwu heard him say this, he couldn't help but laugh and scold. (To be continued......)
