Chapter 156: Finalizing the Star Journey (1)
John's words, and the woman's smart eyes that could speak, made Fan Jianxin's mind flash, and he remembered a movie shot on Hong Kong Island......
The heroine of this movie is the woman in a red leather dress in front of her.
She is a well-known singer, actress and music agent on Hong Kong Island, named Qi Meizhen.
In the 90s, Qi Meizhen served as the senior president of Huaxing Records, and successfully discovered and popularized many famous singers.
Her influence and status in the Hong Kong Island music circle are very high, and she is known as the "Hong Kong Island Pop Queen's Agent" and is also known as the "First Sister of the Music Scene" on Hong Kong Island.
Qi Meizhen was a singer and actor in her early years, and she had deep feelings about handling artist affairs, so she was handy. She has excellent business acumen and rich music experience, and has a unique eye and method for building an artist's image and music career.
It was her appearance that promoted the rapid development of the Hong Kong Island music scene.
Many of the singers she manages have become representative figures in the Hong Kong Island music scene, and the classic music works created are numerous.
Her success also set an example and benchmark for female agents at that time......
At this time, still in the 80s, Qi Meizhen had just joined Huaxing Records, and her career was in the germination period. Not long ago, Charlie Qiu, a well-known agent in the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry, came to Huaxing Company to produce records with Zeng Fujiko and the scores of ten new songs, and she was responsible for docking and assisting in the production of records.
There are many singers with Sotoko's singing voice, and you can find a large number of them on Hong Kong Island. However, songwriters who can write those ten popular songs are extremely rare.
At that time, Qi Meizhen saw the song sheet brought by Zeng Fujiko, and her excited body was trembling slightly, her breathing was accelerating, and her heartbeat was accelerating.
She knew that the author of these ten songs was a musical wizard.
A decision immediately flashed through her mind, which was to find the author of these ten songs as soon as possible! Otherwise, once such an excellent songwriter is discovered by other record companies, there will be nothing to do with her.
She persuaded the president of Huaxing Company to sign a singer agreement with Zeng Toko...... Following Zeng Fujizi's clue, she came to the mainland and searched for Fan Jianxin all the way.
It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
As soon as she arrived in Lincheng, she met Fan Jianxin in the bar of "Xiluo".
When Fan Jianxin sang "Asking Love" on stage, it immediately caught her attention...... Plus those young students, shouting who the author of the song is, bet on it.
When Fan Jianxin finished singing all the ten songs on the record she supervised and sung by Zeng Fujiko...... She knew that she had met the author of the song.
To her surprise, this young songwriter not only writes the songs well, but also sings very well, especially the experience and style of stage performances, which are so unique, trendy and rich!
She was thrilled...... is not only to attract the attention of the other party, but also to appreciate it from the bottom of her heart, for the first time, she gave Fan Jianxin a bouquet of flowers; The second time, ten bouquets of flowers were sent.
It cost her more than 100 Hong Kong dollars, which is enough for her to squander in Lincheng.
For nothing else, she wants to take this genius and treasure in today's music industry to Huaxing Company......
At this time, Fan Jianxin's mood was also like discovering a treasure. Originally, he was still worried about how to create Yao Nana's music path, no, someone sent a pillow when he was sleepy.
"Ms. Qi, what's the matter with me? ......" Fan Jianxin asked politely and lightly.
"I've been watching you for a long time, can you talk about it alone? ......" The woman's eyes are dark and bright, as deep as a mystery.
"Let's talk about anything here, these are my classmates......"
"Ah, that's right...... I am the assistant to the president and record producer of Hong Kong Island Huaxing Records, mainly responsible for the cultivation, excavation, coordination of the company's artists and the producer of the record......"
The woman said and handed Fan Jianxin a business card.
"Zeng Fujiko, you must be familiar with him, he has now become our Huaxing's signed artist. He was signed by Huaxing, not because his singing voice and image meet the conditions for our company to create new talents, but because the ten songs he brought, that is, the ten songs you wrote, are really moving! …… It's been many years, and I've never seen a songwriter who can write so many good songs at once......"
Qi Meizhen looked at Fan Jianxin and the others, and then said to Fan Jianxin meaningfully:
"Hey, if I had known you earlier, there would have been nothing wrong with Zeng Fujiko. Just now, listening to you sing in the audience was really a pleasure! How do you use your voice and sing those ten songs...... The grasp is much stronger than that of Zeng Fujiko! The emotional control of singing is in place, especially your grasp of the emotions of the audience and the grasp of the stage atmosphere, which are very in place...... It's no wonder that you're the author of the song after all, and you've been sincerely involved. ”
When Fan Jianxin heard this, he couldn't help but feel deeply ashamed. Those songs are all classics that he "plagiarized" from later generations, and the singing method also imitates the singers of later generations.
"I sincerely invite you to sign a contract with Huaxing and become a signed artist of Huaxing. I assure you that Huaxing will do its best to make you popular with the greatest resources and connections, so that you can become a star in the world's attention...... Although Huaxing is the largest record company on Hong Kong Island, without your joining, it will lose a chance to take off; And without the help of Huaxing, your music road will also go bumpy and twisty......"
"Haha! ……”
Listening to Qi Meizhen's words, Fan Jianxin laughed for a while, but there was an indescribable bitterness in his heart. He has a clear understanding of his singing level, which can only be regarded as average.
The reason why he sang those ten songs well was because he imitated the novel singing style of later generations that surpassed this era; Of course, this is also because he has an old and weathered heart, as well as the perception of the artistic conception of the lyrics and singing with true feelings.
To his dismay, all this was a blessing from being born again.
As a music lover with 20 years of teaching experience in his previous life, his ability to grasp the classroom teaching atmosphere has naturally transformed into stage experience; A vicissitudes of life and an old soul are reflected in singing, but it has become a skill to grasp the artistic conception of the song.
This is irreproducible, and it is also a kind of helplessness!
Fan Jianxin was laughing on the surface, but deep down he wanted to cry, and he seemed to be holding back a pain in his heart that no one understood!
"Ms. Qi, thank you for your attention...... I, I don't have time to be an artist, let alone a star. Writing songs and composing music is purely a hobby, but I like to use staves to record the experience of life, and I feel it......"
Fan Jianxin's words made several classmates around him feel like they were being cut off by a sharp blade, especially a few girls from the music department, "This is a signing by Huaxing Records"!
- Such a bright future, this Fan Jianxin is disdainful!
Ying Ying and Jiao Fen were anxious to reach out to stop Fan Jianxin; Yao Nana also wanted to cover Fan Jianxin's mouth; And Shi Jinglin really can't wait to come forward and agree for Fan Jianxin......
The one who really regrets it is Zhen Laoxiong!
He was already surprised when he heard the name "Qi Meizhen", and when he heard "Huaxing Records", he was ...... The heart immediately turned over the river and the sea!
He began to regret it, regretting that he shouldn't have offended the eldest sister in the music world in front of him by speaking out, and at this time he was as anxious as a wild cat......
He plays music, how can he not know about Huaxing Records on Hong Kong Island?!
It is the music company that produces the most records a year on Hong Kong Island, and it is the largest record company that influences the entire East Asian music scene.
As a musician, not to mention signing a contract with Huaxing, even if you can meet a signed artist of Huaxing, it is not so much a sentence as it is enough for him to brag in front of others for half a year and be proud of his life.
However, the guy in front of him, called "Cheap-New", actually rejected the olive branch cast by Huaxing in one bite, and refused the assistant to the president of Huaxing to join the hiring, which is really cheap!
If this luck is given to me, I will definitely kowtow and burn incense, cherish it!
Thinking about it again, I offended this Huaxing's record producer today, and the opportunity to release the record at hand was by myself, no! …… was buried by this "cheap" and stirred up!
This "cheap" is really disgusting and hated! ……
Qi Meizhen's hiring and Fan Jianxin's refusal shocked Manager John of the "Xiluo" bar.
He knows that Huaxing's weight in the Hong Kong Island music scene is also an understanding of Qi Meizhen's status and strength in the music scene; I can't help but feel sorry for Fan Jianxin's refusal of Huaxing's signing.
This Fan Jianxin is really a geek!
It's no wonder that he is unwilling to be the resident singer of the "Xiluo" bar, even the famous Huaxing Music Company is unwilling to hire him, how can the "Xiluo" hotel invite him? !
"Eh, that's a shame! ……”
Everyone's thoughts and emotions were written on their faces, and Qi Meizhen also saw it in their eyes, which was also a normal reaction. The problem is that she never thought that she invited Fan Jianxin to join with Huaxing, the pillar of the Hong Kong Island music scene, as the background, but he would refuse without hesitation.
She also knew a little bit about Fan Jianxin from Zeng Fujiko, and when she came to Fan Jianxin, she had already been prepared that Fan Jianxin would not agree to be an artist, so she said: "If you don't want to be an artist of Huaxing, you can be a full-time songwriter of Huaxing...... All the songs you write, we Huaxing will use them, and pay a lot of money to buy out the commercial performance rights. ”
"This won't work either! I'm too busy to have time. Do you know that the reason why I wrote a song for Zeng Fujiko last time was because my table mate promised Zeng in advance......"
Fan Jianxin told Qi Meizhen about Zeng Tengzi asking Ye Zhen for a song, and the meaning expressed was that he wrote a song for Zeng Tengzi for Ye Zhen's face.
"Ah...... What a lucky girl! ”
Qi Meizhen sighed heartily. From Fan Jianxin's words, she heard that Fan Jianxin was in love with a lesbian table named Ye Zhen.
"Then do you think this is okay, we Huaxing can sign a contract with you that has no hard requirements for you...... You can write songs if you want to, and don't write them if you don't want to. As long as you write a song and Huaxing adopts all of them, it will pay you the highest polishing pen in the world, which will definitely exceed the reward you pay for writing songs for Zeng Fujiko. ”
Qi Meizhen deserves to be a shrewd agent, and she took three steps back in a row, just to sign a contract with Fan Jianxin.
first used Fan Jianxin as a star as a bait to let him sign a contract with Huaxing; Then, he was demoted to a full-time songwriter who signed a contract for Huaxing; In the end, it is a soft contract, as long as it is a song written by you Fan Jianxin, it will be covered......
Fan Jianxin is as slippery as a fox, of course he understands the power behind the temptation conditions given by Qi Meizhen. "All ......" means that he can only write songs for Huaxing.
The above three ways to sign a contract, no matter which one, as long as he Fan Jianxin signs it, the songs written by him Fan Jianxin will be in the hands of Huaxing in the future.
He didn't want to be limited by this, but he didn't want to give up using Huaxing to create a star career for Yao Nana. He turned his mind around a little and spoke to Yao Nana in Russian.
"Нана, тыхочешьбытьпевицей-звездой? )”
"Чушьсобачья!Ктонехочетбытьзвездой? Who doesn't want to be a star? )”
It's also said that what girl doesn't have a star dream? Fan Jianxin was no longer verbose, and directly told Yao Nana his thoughts.
Although Yao Nana said that girls have star dreams, she lacks enough confidence in her voice, and she has not studied vocal music.
Fan Jianxin couldn't help but do another job for her.
"Откудатызнаешь,еслинепопробуешь?Что-товжизни,какузнать,еслинепопробовать? How do you know if you don't try? )”
