Fuwan City, located at the southeastern tip of Fujian Province, is one of the 25 municipalities directly under the central government of the Chinese Empire in this dimension, and is also the most economically developed city in the southeast region.

With a permanent population of more than 30 million and 102 skyscrapers with more than 50 floors, all of them are densely packed along the harbor, the level of prosperity is not inferior to that of any metropolis on Shijie.

As a well-known entertainment capital of Shijie, Fuwan also has a prominent title: the pop music center of all of Asia.

The reason why it is so called is because it brings together hundreds of Chinese record distribution companies, such as the four dominant record companies "Arrow Target", "Era", "International Entertainment" and "BV", all of which are headquartered in Fuwan.

The Yunshijie independent record company founded by Du Shan is also hiding in this drunken metropolis.

Unlike the four major record companies, which often occupy an entire building to be their headquarters, Dushan's cloud shijie, in the bustling steel forest, is as weak as a small pea that has just sprouted from the soil.

No. 18 Changxing Road, 6th floor of Qingyun Building.

From 610 to 620, ten offices, conference rooms, singing studios, and recording studios are all that Yun Shijie has.

In front of those entertainment predators, the Yunshijie independent record company, which has a total rental area of less than 250 square meters, is almost negligible.

Before Du Shan's death, the company had only 12 staff members, signed two outdated rock bands, and a rookie female singer.

Now, all of these employees have left, and the signed bands and singers have automatically terminated their contracts by default.

Even the company's vice president, Lin Jianguo, Du Shan's most haode brother, felt that Yun Shijie, who advocated "rock and love", did not need to hold on any longer.

Lin Jianguo even helped Yun Shijie go through the bankruptcy procedures, so as not to let the debts owed by Yun Shijie fall on Du Xinghe's head.

Unexpectedly, Du Xinghe dropped out of school desperately, and had to inherit his father's independent record company, which made Lin Jianguo very troubled.

"Adu, you have also seen that now the company has not a penny in its accounts, and it still owes more than 300,000 loans to the bank, the salaries of employees cannot be paid at all, and the rent is only three months old, and the company should be cleared at that time." In Room 618, in the former general manager's office, Lin Jianguo was sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigarette and persuading the obsessed Du Xinghe: "I don't think there's any need for Yun Shijie to hold on any longer." ”

He had just been discharged from the hospital, and his body had not fully recovered, and Du Xinghe's emaciated face looked extremely pale. Looking at the company's extremely poor financial statements, Du Xinghe was speechless for a while.

Although in this golden age of the record industry, the companies that released records could almost make a fortune as long as they did it seriously, but that refers to the mainstream record labels.

In the past three years, the most popular sales of "Painful Faith" have sold less than 5,000 copies, which is completely losing money.

The only profit point of this company is to make soundtracks for film and television dramas, and to write songs for artists from other companies to earn copyright fees.

And the mainstay of the company's film and television drama soundtracks, the songwriter who wrote the song, is Du Shan himself.

Now that Du Shan is gone, it means that the company has lost its profit point, so Lin Jianguo feels that there is no need for the company to continue.

A bitter smile was contained in Lin Jianguo's bloodshot eyes, this 37-year-old man, his hair was already half gray, and the huge pressure made him not sleep well at all these days. He was really sad that he had no choice, so he had to choose to end the cloud shijie that also carried his dreams.

Closing the financial statements, Du Xinghe looked at Lin Jianguo calmly and said, "Uncle Lin, I understand the company's situation. ”

"And what did you decide?"

"I'm going to keep going."

The tone was calm, and his handsome face revealed a calmness and confidence beyond his age, Du Xinghe said: "In the past, the company relied on my dad to make money alone, but now that my dad is gone, you think the company is finished, which I can understand, but I hope you can give me a chance to inherit my dad's job and help the company reverse the decline." ”

"How do you want to reverse it? Can you write songs like your dad? Lin Jianguo showed a self-deprecating wry smile.

"Weishenme: No? I also studied music. ”

"Adu, it's not that Uncle Lin looks down on you, just with your three-legged cat kung fu, do you think there may be a record company to buy your songs?" Lin Jianguo knew the pop music that Du Xinghe read in Huaguang Art School, but he majored in singing, which was completely different from his father's kind of composition.

Taking a sip of cigarette, seeing that Du Xinghe's gaze was still firm, Lin Jianguo sighed sadly and said, "Your father has been in this circle for nearly 20 years before he has today's achievements and status, this circle is really not as simple as you think, Adu." ”

"I understand how cruel the competition is in this circle, but I still want to try, anyway, there are still three months before the house expires, and it is better to leave it to me to make music than to leave it empty." As he spoke, Du Xinghe opened another financial report and asked Lin Jianguo: "Uncle Lin, did my father do the ending song of "Bao Qingtian"?" ”

Du Xinghe pointed to Lin Jianguo's July entry record in the financial report.

This is the 30,000 yuan that South China TV advanced to his father's creation fee, and the memo says that his father will make the ending song for the costume TV series "Bao Qingtian" that will be released by South China TV at the end of the year, and the time for the song is at the end of October.

Today is October 20th, and there are only 10 days left before the song.

"Before your dad's accident, he was thinking about making this song, who knows later...... Alas! Lin Jianguo sighed depressedly.

"Since my dad didn't do it, then I'll do it now."

"You?" didn't believe that Du Xinghe could write a song at all, Lin Jianguo shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "I have found a reliable musician to make this song, I hope he can make your father's feeling and satisfy Huashi." If everything goes well, your father's 'posthumous work' can still leave you a sum of money. ”

Crushing the cigarette butts into the ashtray full of cigarette butts, Lin Jianguo persuaded Du Xinghe bitterly: "Adu, your mother left early, and your father is gone now, I can understand your desire to be independent, but you really don't need to force yourself to do these things, you still wait to heal your injuries and go back to school." ”

"Uncle Lin, I'm not forcing myself to do these things, I really want to do them!"

There was a faint glint of excitement in his eyes, Du Xinghe restrained his excitement, raised three fingers, and said, "I know that you still don't believe that I can write good songs, and it makes no sense for me to say more." You only give me three days, I only need three days, I will show you the work, and then you can evaluate it! ”

In Du Xinghe's memory, the previous shijie also had a TV series of "Bao Qingtian", and its ending song was "New Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream", which was popular all over the country!

If he can do this ending song well, he will definitely be an instant hit!

Lin Jianguo saw that Du Xinghe was so persistent, so he let him go.
