Chapter 396: Chen Huilun who apologized
After checking the renovation progress of the new recording studio at the new company in the media building in the morning, Du Xinghe arrived at Xiao Tianlang's office at ten o'clock.
Xiao Tianlang's secretary Ding Xiaopei told Du Xinghe that Xiao Tianlang was in a meeting, asked Du Xinghe to wait in the office for a while, made tea for Du Xinghe, and let Du Xinghe drink tea alone.
Du Xinghe came to the window with a teacup and looked out to see the rows of buildings in the Shuangqiao Central Business District.
Xiao Tianlang has two offices in the National Entertainment Building, one on the floor of his recording studio and the other on the 55th floor, which is a more formal office for guests.
It is said that it is 55 floors, but in fact, the actual floor of this office is actually less than 40 floors, and there are no 4 related floors in the National Entertainment Building, 4 floors, 14 floors, and 24 floors...... All the way to the 40th floor, all of them were skipped.
However, although it is not as tall as the 55th floor, the office has a very good view, directly facing the two golden bridges that rise from the ground and the symbol of the Shuangqiao Central Business District.
As long as he sees the sea, Du Xinghe's mood is indescribably happy, it may be that he lived in an urban forest with a large population in his previous life, and he was too depressed, and now the sea can make Du Xinghe feel open-minded.
"Knock knock. Knock knock. ”
Du Xinghe was drinking tea, looking at the sea in the distance, when suddenly there were two very soft knocks on the door from behind.
Without waiting for Du Xinghe to react, Ding Xiaopei pushed the door and came in.
She also brought another person Xiao Tianlang had an appointment, who was Du Xinghe's college sister Chen Huilun.
"Sister Huilun, please." Ding Xiaopei respectfully invited Chen Huilun into the house. At the same time, he said: "Mr. Xiao Du has arrived." ”
Chen Huilun nodded at Ding Xiaopei, and Ding Xiaopei immediately retreated out of the office and closed the door.
Du Xinghe didn't know that Xiao Tianlang had also made an appointment with Chen Huilun, he hadn't seen him for a long time, and when he suddenly saw this college sister, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, because Chen Huilun was present, he wouldn't be able to talk about Xiao Tianlang later!
The old fox, who must have been scared last time, knew that he was going to open his mouth again this time. So the person concerned, Chen Huilun, was also called. Look at him, he's embarrassed to open his mouth.
Chen Huilun in the company is not dressed very fashionably like in front of the public, and even has some showmanship.
In private, Chen Huilun usually dresses very casually. Today, I wore a white shirt with a base layer. A flesh-colored silk kaftan was put on the outside. The open kaftan revealed the gold necklace hanging from her chest, and the pendant was a string of lovely notes.
Underneath is a pair of beige slacks, with a pair of pointed heels revealing under the cuffs. It's flesh-colored, and it goes well with the cheongsam, and the overall feeling is very fresh and close.
"Hello senior sister."
Following the traditional etiquette of Huaguang Art School, Du Xinghe took the initiative to say hello to Chen Huilun.
If it had been placed in the past, Chen Huilun might only respond to Du Xinghe's greetings with a glance, but now that she has a request for Du Xinghe, she didn't dare to be too upright, so she hurriedly stepped up and replied: "Long time no see, Mr. Du." ”
"Yes, since the last school celebration is over, we haven't met again, it's been long enough." Du Xinghe coldly mentioned the last school celebration, in fact, he didn't remember the last hatred, or said it casually, but Chen Huilun was extremely embarrassed to hear it.
Thinking of bullying Du Xinghe and Xu Nuo last time, Chen Huilun regretted it, apologized to Du Xinghe with a wry smile, and said: "Why did you mention last time, I was in a hurry and fainted that time, I hope that Mr. Du, you don't take it to heart." ”
Du Xinghe saw that Chen Huilun was very embarrassed, so he gave Chen Huilun a step down and said: "No, no, don't get me wrong, senior sister, it's all in the past, I don't remember what happened." ”
Chen Huilun said with interest: "You don't remember, but I still remember, it was really my fault last time, look back and see when you are free, call Xu Nuo, I will invite you two to dinner, and accompany you." ”
"No, really no, senior sister, if you want to do this, you will be outside. Everyone came out of Huaguang, and the relationship is in the same vein, and there are not so many things. If you want to have dinner with us, catch up, and talk about our alma mater, then when you are free one day, I will call Xu Nuo and invite you to dinner. ”
Chen Huilun thought that Du Xinghe would grasp her last time to rectify her, but she didn't expect Du Xinghe to be so unreceiving, Chen Huilun doubted whether Du Xinghe was acting with her, and she was so cautious in her heart, in case she was in front of Xiao Tianlang, Du Xinghe gave her a face, then she really couldn't get off the stage.
Du Xinghe didn't expect that Chen Huilun, who has always been arrogant, would become so respectful, it seems that just like Xiao Tianlang said, Chen Huilun is really in big trouble.
Thinking about it, her previous album "The Price of Wrong Love" produced Cao Yufei was involved in black, which had too much impact on Chen Huilun. If Guoyu does it ruthlessly, it is possible to refrigerate Chen Huilun for a while.
If she is really refrigerated for a while, Chen Huilun's future is basically gone, she is now the most popular in the "Four Golden Flowers" of National Entertainment, but in such a cruel environment in the entertainment industry, if she is refrigerated for a short time, her popularity will be greatly damaged.
Chen Huilun is not a super diva like Fang Yajun, her best-selling record is only 10.5 million copies, although many records have reached 10 million sales, and she has long crossed the status of a little diva, but she lacks a further step, and she is always so short that she can't rush to the throne of diva with 15 million sales.
If it is refrigerated this time, or even without refrigeration, as long as she can't get a record in a short period of time, the breath she has been holding will be poured out for thousands of miles.
Faced with such a sinister situation, how could Chen Huilun not be in a hurry?
"Knock, knock."
Ding Xiaopei knocked on the door again, he came to bring coffee to Chen Huilun.
"Sister Huilun, your coffee."
Ding Xiaopei's entry into the house interrupted Du Xinghe and Chen Huilun's reply.
Chen Huilun took the coffee, thanked Ding Xiaopei, and then sat on both ends of the reception sofa with Du Xinghe, and the two of them each took a sip of coffee and tea, and waited for Ding Xiaopei to go out.
Chen Huilun continued what she had just said, and stubbornly said to Du Xinghe: "Mr. Du." I must ask you this time, even if I don't mention the previous incident, you have done me a great favor this time, and I must thank you very much. You must give me this face, or the senior sister will be angry. ”
"If you want to say that, then I'll eat this meal. But then again, senior sister, what's going on with your "The Price of Wrong Love"? I heard Xiao say that you are involved in the black? ”
Du Xinghe took another sip of tea, wanting to hear what Chen Huilun himself said. Xiao Tianlang has a very porcelain relationship with him. But after all, it's not a grasshopper on a thread. There's a lot of deceit, and he wants to know the truth.
Chen Huilun didn't expect Xiao Tianlang to tell Du Xinghe about the "scandal" of her album, you know, this is a family ugly! National entertainment is very taboo. What did Xiao Tianlang say to an outsider? Aren't you afraid to spread the word?
Think about it. It is estimated that Xiao Tianlang is also forced to do so. If she didn't talk to Du Xinghe, Du Xinghe would not necessarily be in such a hurry to meddle in this matter to help her. Chen Huilun simply looked away, anyway, things have developed to this point. She had already been miserable, and there was nothing to be ashamed of, so she scolded Cao Yufei with shame and annoyance, and told Du Xinghe about it.
Chen Huilun's statement is the same as Xiao Tianlang, it seems that she was really pitted by Cao Yufei.
"If you want me to say, don't worry, it's like this anyway, you can adjust your mood and prepare for a new album."
Du Xinghe sympathetically comforted Chen Huilun.
Chen Huilun smiled bitterly: "I also want to prepare quickly, but the album has not been composed yet." The proposal was only handed over to Xiao two weeks ago. By the way, Xiao said that the title song of my new album is up to you, and you have already come down? ”
Du Xinghe nodded and said, "Xiao Zhizuò told me about you two days ago, and asked me if I could help each other, I think, we are all alumni of Huaguang, and if we have difficulties with each other, of course we must help each other, which is worthy of the inheritance of our school." ”
On her face, which had been sad for a long time, she finally showed a happy smile, Chen Huilun finally felt that she had touched Du Xinghe's thoughts, and Du Xinghe really helped her, so she was relieved.
moved to the middle of the sofa and sat closer to Du Xinghe, Chen Huilun raised the coffee cup and thanked Du Xinghe: "Mr. Du, this time you helped the senior sister through the difficulties, and the senior sister will always miss you a lot." ”
Du Xinghe raised the teacup and said, "It's serious, I'm just writing a song, and Xiao Zhizuò is the one who will help you get through the difficulties." ”
"I'm very grateful if you can help me write songs, now everyone in the circle knows that you Xiao Du is always one of the best songwriting geniuses, and your songs are in demand now. "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" has been selling crazy in the past few days, I heard that nearly 500,000 copies were sold on the first day? This can be compared to the king of singers! ”
Chen Huilun picked up the good words and complimented Du Xinghe from the heart: "The headlines of the entertainment edition in the past two days are full of praise for your creation, and many music critics have said that the neoclassical style of "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" is like a fresh breeze, blowing the whole music world is fresh. ”
Who doesn't like to listen to sycophants, especially their seniors pat their own sycophants, this feeling, even if Du Xinghe listens to it, it is beautiful.
Du Xinghe smiled modestly: "Senior sister, you are also from here, why do you still believe in those?" Those advertorials were written by our own company's corporate propaganda, and they were the headlines for the album to promote and buy. ”
How could Chen Huilun not know this, she didn't expect Du Xinghe to tell it as it was like a child, and said with a smile: "That can't be all of it." So many music critics have bought you off? ”
Du Xinghe took a sip of tea and said truthfully: "This is not true. ”
"It's still true, the songs you wrote are really good, this is the consensus in the circle now, and it is also tested by the market. There are more companies than you can hype, but I don't see any company that can sell 500,000 albums on the first day, and this is because the music itself is good and attractive, so that it will be accepted by the market after publicity. Chen Huilun said this very thoroughly, and she really thought so in her heart.
The explosion of "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" made all insiders realize that Du Xinghe is a rising star in the music scene, and he is by no means a puppet. In fact, as early as when Fang Yajun held hands with the cloud world, most people in the circle should have understood that Du Xinghe was by no means an ordinary person, otherwise with a super diva of Fang Yajun's level, she would not join forces with a large company after her comeback, but signed a contract with a completely inconspicuous small company, how could this be possible?
As long as anyone who has had contact with Du Xinghe will no longer believe that Du Xinghe is a puppet. Even after learning more about Du Xinghe, you will realize that this new star is only Xiaohe, and he has not developed all his charm at all.
Chen Huilun heard Du Xinghe sing on the spot during the school anniversary, and the duet between Du Xinghe and Fang Yajun at that time still makes her remember it vividly, and the songs written by Du Xinghe are definitely classics for her, a senior singer who has been a singing professional and has been immersed in the circle for almost ten years.
The song "You at the Same Table". Although it was not sung by Du Xinghe. But it still moved Chen Huilun very much. She knew that Xiao Tianlang had bought that song for Su Shenghua to be the title of the summer album.
Chen Huilun doesn't have to think much about it at all, with "You at the Same Table" to press the formation, Su Shenghua's album will definitely be very successful. Now Xiao Tianlang can help her and invite Du Xinghe. This is for her, who is in trouble. Definitely great news.
As long as Du Xinghe takes this matter seriously. She believes she has the potential to turn things around.
Xiao Tianlang is now setting her a selection of new songs and old songs, for this kind of album, it is definitely no fun to sell 15 million. But it can stabilize her popularity. Especially if the title song of the new album is classic, it will accumulate more popularity for her.
Seon lost his horse, how do you know if it is a blessing?
"The Price of Wrong Love" is gone, but if she can sing a Du classic, it may be more of a boost to her singing career.
Xiao Tianlang told her before that she had heard the new song written by Du Xinghe for her, called "Lemon-tree", which is divided into two versions in Chinese and English. And the number of songs is very fashionable, which is very in line with her style as a fashion leader.
If the response to this song is good, Xiao Tianlang also said that he would recommend her to the international department, and it is possible to release an English version of the album for overseas markets.
For Chen Huilun, this is the most exciting news in the sea of bitterness!
After chatting with Xiao Tianlang, Chen Huilun realized that this was likely to be an opportunity for her to rise, so she attached great importance to this matter.
However, Xiao Tianlang also said that this song has not been completely knocked to death with Du Xinghe, although Du Xinghe's song was tailor-made for her, but it was Xu Nuo who sang a sample to him at that time, so he was worried that Du Xinghe would take this "Lemon-tree" to the singers of Cloud World's own company to sing, you know, Xu Nuo became popular with "Little Bird", and he also needs good songs to rush up.
Xiao Tianlang thought about one more step and took precautions, so that Chen Huilun beat the drum in his heart. Knowing that Du Xinghe would come over to talk to Xiao Tianlang about the new song today, Chen Huilun volunteered to beg Du Xinghe first to knock the matter to death.
Xiao Tianlang, a person who attaches so much importance to the concept of time, the reason why he made an appointment with Du Xinghe today and had a temporary meeting is to give Chen Huilun a little time first, and let Chen Huilun get Du Xinghe, a Huayi junior, first, so as not to make Du Xinghe change his hexagram.
After Xiao Tianlang and Du Xinghe met that day, he went back to how he thought and felt that "Lemon-tree" was too suitable for Chen Huilun, this was completely a song that could turn Chen Huilun around, and he had to get it for Chen Huilun.
But the next day, that is, on the morning of March 1, he made several calls to Du Xinghe in a row, trying to finalize the matter, but Du Xinghe's mobile phone kept turning off! When I called the office of Du Xinghe of Cloud World Company, no one answered the phone! This made Xiao Tianlang a little suspicious that Du Xinghe wanted to change his hexagram and regretted promising "Lemon-tree" to Chen Huilun. Is Du Xinghe going to change the song to Chen Huilun and leave "Lemon-tree" to the singers of their own company? Otherwise, with Du Xinghe's understanding of his Xiao Tianlang, if the things he said the day before are not decided, they will definitely communicate again the next day, whether it is successful or not, it will be decided. Du Xinghe came to the world the next day, which made Xiao Tianlang feel that things were a little wrong.
Although Du Xinghe took the initiative to contact him yesterday to talk about the new song, Xiao Tianlang still felt that there might be something wrong here, so he agreed to Chen Huilun to come over, and did the work for Du Xinghe first with affection and reason, so that he could talk about it later.
Chen Huilun also knew what her mission was, so she apologized to Du Xinghe as soon as she came up, and even patted Du Xinghe's ass, and after finding out that Du Xinghe really wanted to help her, she was down-to-earth.
At this time, she turned the topic to the most important thing, she wanted to determine whether Du Xinghe was going to give her the song "Lemon-tree".
"Mr. Xiao Du, I heard Xiao Zhi say that the new song you wrote for me is called "Lemon-tree", and it is divided into two versions, Chinese and English?"
"Yes."
Du Xinghe took out a CD in a plastic hard shell from his briefcase, took out the original manuscript of the dictionary, put it on the coffee table, and said: "Time is tight, so I made do with the recording of a synthetic sample, and I didn't divide the track, I brought it all." I wrote the lyrics, songs, and arrangements, and put them together in the sample, and I didn't do anything about it. You'll have to find a band to re-record and arrange the music yourself. ”
Chen Huilun saw that Du Xinghe not only did not change his hexagram, but was also so efficient, her eyes lit up suddenly, and for a moment, she especially wanted to give Du Xinghe a bear hug to thank Du Xinghe, but given that she was a college sister, she was not good at doing this kind of frivolous move, so she just praised Du Xinghe happily: "Xiao Du, you are really efficient." ”
Du Xinghe said casually: "If you agree to someone else's business, you can do it quickly, and the province is so old that you have to worry about it." This song is not difficult to sing, if it is recorded smoothly, with your strength, you can win it in two or three days. ”
Chen Huilun said gratefully: "Well, after you and Xiao Zhizuò have finished the matter, I will go to the band to record and arrange the music in the afternoon." (To be continued......)
