Chapter One of the Night - Chapter 129
Chapter 129 Gossip
Tuesday, December 21st.
Magic Capital.
On the road.
Lu Tao: “Let’s go to my last show again. Anyway, your new song hits the charts. I’ll treat you to dinner when you come.”
Kakaka typed and replied to her: “You can’t even invite me to eat, it’s not in the plan.”
Received a reply after a while: “Bah!”
嘁, bah, bah, it’s not uncommon, I am now in the state of great perfection.
The two senior sisters reached a settlement, and the younger sister also acquiesced to the existence of the big beautiful girl Xia Jingjing. Before going out, she also contacted An Xiaojing about her relationship. I just waited for the publicity to go back this time, and I could find a chance to talk to her beautifully. The two senior sisters are in touch with each other… In a word, I am not hungry anymore.
is too lazy to coax and make fun.
Let’s go.
Outside the car window, several cars that were obviously paparazzi were still closely following.
They should have already predicted their own trajectory, and they still run to the front from time to time.
On December 16th, the single disc “Jiangnan” was officially launched, and on Saturday, December 18th, the MV of “Jiangnan” premiered on the Tiangong TV network – not to mention, it became popular again.
The MV screen is still full of his own face.
made various emotional and hypocritical poses, and sang softly.
Boys and girls love it.
And even before the MV premiered, his strange singing style in the song quickly caused a lot of heated discussion on the music radio.
This time, the song started to heat up even before the MV was played.
MV is just another great catalyst.
Nothing to say, everything is perfect.
The only thing that can be regarded as a small regret is that “First Experience of Love” topped the charts, and it really failed to last this week, and failed to finally realize the seamless connection between the two songs – but this was expected long ago. Things, some small regrets, but not disappointing.
And “First Experience of Love” still stayed in third place, “Jiangnan” rushed to sixth place within a few days, before the MV was broadcast, which is already very good.
There is a lot of hope of hitting the top of the list next week.
According to the current popularity and word-of-mouth, the lowest result is to copy the previous road of “When Love is Approaching” – but the word-of-mouth of “Jiangnan” and the popularity among music critics obviously far exceed ” “When Love is Approaching”, so there is a high probability that it will be thrown a little higher and longer than its parabola.
This time, you don’t have to start from a small place.
The first stop is the magic capital, the Tiangong TV network.
This is the home base of Venus Records and the base camp of Tiangong TV Network. The two entertainment industry practitioners who have been rooted here for a long time and belong to the same parent company are naturally closely related.
But before Xu Zhenghua, he was just a fledgling. He wanted to go to the ace program of the Tiangong TV network. Even if he had the endorsement of the Qixing record, he was still a little weak, but now it is different. The release of “Jiangnan” is like a rainbow.
If you have such a hard relationship with the publisher, Venus Records, go directly.
After more than 20 minutes, the car stopped outside the Morning Star Building.
Before Xu Zhenghua got out of the car, many reporters and paparazzi carrying cameras and cameras were already running all the way here – Xu Zhenghua sighed, tidying up his smile, and did not wait for Guan Yulan in the car behind to come to open the door, he Just pushed the door down.
With a bang, the sound waves came.
“Zhenghua, are you dating Xue Lan?”
“You were dating last night, right?”
“The photo shows you holding her hand, do you want to deny it?”
“How is your relationship with An Xiaojing now? Have you broken up?”
Alas, misstep.
I had an appointment with Du Xuelan last night, it was really just the simplest meal, and the location selection was actually quite secret, but I didn’t know why the paparazzi were eyeing him, and they even asked them to take pictures.
knew earlier that he should not have promised her.
But she said that her album was about to be recorded, and she had to discuss the rhythm of the announcement with herself. The two should cooperate as much as possible, but interspersed, don’t beat their own people, and it also involved her also going to the Spring Festival Gala. There is also a question of song selection, and the question of song selection involves the rhythm of her album listing and announcement…
Although this kind of thing is obviously more suitable to chat with Chen Bangdao, but since she said she wants to talk, she has no chance of rejecting – it is popular, and the album will definitely be overwhelming, so in order to ensure that her first album can go smoothly, Xu Zhenghua didn’t want to fight with her either.
The 20 million gambling agreement of the three albums is still there!
As a result, the photo was published in the newspaper in the morning, and when they went to the airport in the morning, the paparazzi were already crazy.
“I’ve never been in a relationship with An Xiaojing, we are good friends, **** friends, like good buddies!” I explained it at the airport in the imperial capital before, but when I came here, I still had to Explain a few more words, but now I don’t dare to offend these people, “I’m just a good friend with Du Xuelan, what’s so strange about having a meal with a good friend, let’s discuss something! By the way, let’s gossip, her album Come out soon!”
Xu Zhenghua said while walking, with a charming smile on his face.
Guan Yulan and Lu Liguo, as well as the security guards sent by Venus Records to pick them up, surrounded them to prevent the reporters and paparazzi from directly putting the microphone on Xu Zhenghua’s face.
Going hard.
“But it’s clear in that photo that you’re holding her hand!”
Du Xuelan’s new album actually failed to divert their attention. Could it be that they already knew what they said to the media in the imperial capital before boarding the plane?
It’s only two hours!
But… good friend, what’s wrong with holding your hand? no?
“I was taking her pulse!”
Forget it, let’s take the pulse, it’s easy to make up, it’s more credible than palm reading, “You all know that I came from martial arts, my master is also a doctor, and I learned a little bit of fur! I saw her at that time. Very tired, just give her a pulse, you are too relatable, right? Don’t always use those men and women to tarnish our pure friendship, okay? I almost believe what you make up! “
“How is Xue Lan’s body?”
“No problem, it’s just that she may have been too tired to record songs recently, so pay attention to rest for a few days and it will be fine!”
Ding dong!
Ding dong!
In my pocket, my phone vibrated.
finally broke through the siege and entered the Morning Star Records.
In December, it felt a little hot and crowded.
When entered the building, reporters and paparazzi were blocked from the outside.
Xu Zhenghua breathed a sigh of relief. The security personnel arranged by Venus Records had already run over to press the elevator in advance. Xu Zhenghua took out his mobile phone as he walked, clicked it and glanced at it.
Lu Tao: “By the way, are you and Du Xuelan?”
! What gossip!
Reply: “No shadow thing!”
Look at another one, from An Xiaojing: “When did you have an affair with Du Xuelan?”
I’ll go, it sounds so ugly.
Reply: “Don’t talk nonsense! I have nothing to do with her!”
After replying, just put away the phone and entered the elevator, the phone ding-dong again.
took it out and saw that it was actually An Xiaojing, who replied in seconds: “Fuck? You grab people’s hands so tightly!”
Oh, this time it’s really…the yellow mud fell off his crotch!
It was Du Xuelan who took the initiative to reach out and said that she had been feeling cold in her hands recently, so she subconsciously reached out and shook it. It was indeed quite cold, but it was quite common among girls, so she gave her a food list.
that is it.
But it is estimated that the explanation is not clear.
can’t go back, put away the phone.
The elevator arrived soon, and Xu Zhenghua noticed that it was the 36th floor.
Someone was already waiting at the elevator door, “Mr. Xu welcomes you! Mr. Liu is waiting for you in his office, please come with me!” Not far away is Sun Bo, an assistant for the promotion during the “First Experience of Love”.
“OK, thanks!”
Xu Zhenghua responded, and at the same time he stretched out his hand with a smile, “Haha, old grandson!”
Sun Bo warmly shook hands with Xu Zhenghua, “I will continue to serve you! Haha, but this time is different from last time, you will be much more relaxed.”
The two laughed and chatted for a while, Xu Zhenghua followed them forward, and Sun Bo went to shake hands with Guan Yulan and Lu Liguo.
As he said, everyone will be working together for a while.
The phone rang again.
took a look and Lu Tao said, “Fake it! Just pretend! You said you had a girlfriend before, right? I saw the photo of you holding her hand.”
No return.
An Xiaojing said: “I know her new album is going to be released, but my new album is going to be released too! If you want to cooperate with others, can you choose me? Isn’t it good for us to stir up scandals?”
Really sharp.
In less than a year, this girl is already a complete entertainer.
Far better than Du Xuelan, a veteran who has been in the industry for many years, who knows the rules of the entertainment industry better.
not coming back.
“Mr. Liu!”
“Zhenghua is here, come, sit, whatever you want!”
Liu Junxian’s attitude has not changed at all, at best he is a little more affectionate than the last time we met.
But seriously, this is an interview.
Sit down in his office and talk, it is considered that everyone can enhance their relationship – in the past, they patronized each other to talk about money and interests, but they didn’t care about feelings. Now the cooperation has already been achieved, and it has even been initially successful. Of course, there is no need to talk about any interests, it is a good time for everyone to talk about feelings.
Let’s have a meal together at noon.
Perfect.
Both are very satisfied with this relationship promotion meeting.
Especially when I heard that Xu Zhenghua brought his dance teacher on this trip, Liu Junxian was even more satisfied.
I went directly to the building of Tiangong TV Network in the afternoon.
This time, I will be recording “The Starlight Show Tonight”, which is regarded as the leading entertainment program of Tiangong TV Network.
But when I went to the backstage for makeup and preparation, I got the script. There were several blanks on it, and four big characters were written in parentheses – free play.
I go!
I have never seen such a script.
should be the consequence of the previous show on Lu Tao in Qilu Province.
It should have been ten days since the show was broadcast. Many media have been discussing their own eloquence, and some media have even praised their performance in that show directly, “A top talk show actor. level”. In the past few days, Guan Yulan has indeed received a lot of invitations for comedy shows.
Just kidding, I don’t make money by eloquence.
I depend on my looks!
“I’m really not good at telling jokes… Du Xuelan, it’s a very interesting person… That day, it was too early to say this, it was summer, when the weather was hot, she got angry once, she knew that I knew a little medical skills, give it to me When I called, I heard, oh my, my voice is hoarse! You know that singers are very concerned about their own voice, her voice is so hoarse, I was startled, I said what happened to you?”
Everyone in the audience was pulled in, their eyes widened and they waited for the next paragraph.
“She said…I had a dream last night.”
Xu Zhenghua imitated his hoarse voice, and the audience laughed knowingly, “…I don’t understand a bit, you know? What does dreaming have to do with a hoarse voice? I asked her, what kind of dream? She said, I dreamed that I was a sheep, grazing on the hillside. I said it was alright, the dream was what I was thinking, she said, it’s alright, I woke up and saw that the mat on my bed was gone…”
roared with laughter.
The host laughed the loudest, almost leaning back and forth.
“I said that you are already like this, why are you looking for me for medical treatment? Go to the hospital directly!”
Another burst of laughter.
…………
The 30-minute program was recorded surprisingly smoothly.
It was over in less than an hour.
But after the recording of the program was completed, the scene was even more exaggerated than the one at Qilu Provincial Television. After seeing the recording lights go out, the audience at the scene rushed to the stage almost like crazy.
It took more than half an hour just to sign, take photos and shake hands.
In the end, Zhong Zhujun, the host of “Tonight’s Starlight Show”, also came over to take a group photo, holding Xu Zhenghua’s hand with a smile on his face, “Zhenghua, you will be popular, and the president will be popular! We will often cooperate in the future!”
He is a bit fat, tall and tall. He is a well-known host in the industry. He is absolutely famous. “Your personal image, eloquence, and songs are so popular!”
Xu Zhenghua hurriedly humbled, “You passed the prize! Thank you for your blessings!”
After talking with him, he walked off the stage, and found that Guan Yulan’s eyes were also very bright. Xu Zhenghua glanced at her, took a moment when no one was around, and quickly tried to warn, “What are you doing?”
Guan Yulan came over and whispered, “Zhenghua, when I decided to sign you, it was the wisest decision in my life! You know what? Just for your performance on stage just now, and of course, your talent, Your appearance… I can guarantee that in the next ten years, no one will be more popular than you!”
Xu Zhenghua glanced at her, “The charm of humor?”
She nodded, “Yeah. The charm of humor! It’s not uncommon for a person who can tell jokes and talk shows. There are also many talented people who can write songs. People who are handsome… may not be more handsome than you. There are many, but there must be. But if a person can write songs and sing very well, and be handsome and have such a sense of humor…”
She spoke with emotion, and seemed to be more immersed than Xu Zhenghua.
“Ten years? Can you be more popular than Sun Deming?”
“Uh……”
She didn’t dare answer the call now.
After so many years, there is only one Sun Deming in the world.
That is the only top star that has been recognized so far with a single album that has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide.
Even though he hasn’t released an album for more than three years, there is still no one who is qualified to challenge his supremacy in the music scene – from the late 1970s to his last album in the 1990s, about 12 or 13 years , He has released a total of seven official studio albums, and the number of single discs is estimated to be thirty or forty. The total sales combined, according to rough statistics, have exceeded 600 million!
For other singers, if the album sales get five platinum, then they can step into the front line with their heads held high and steady.
After getting eight platinum, you are about to see a super-first-tier position, at least it has already exceeded the first-tier category, and it is faintly extraordinary and has entered the ranks of superstars.
If you can sell diamond albums, or even sell two diamond albums in your singer career, that’s fine, it’s super top!
Uranus Superstar!
Top diva!
But for Sun Deming… Diamonds are called daily operations.
They even have thirteen singles that have been certified by the Diamond Specialist!
What is this concept?
Don’t say anything about the Chinese music scene, they are the only ones in the world!
But Guan Yulan still didn’t give up, chased him all the way and said, “If you can continue to write good songs, and you are willing to release albums diligently, it is not that you have no chance to think about Sun Deming’s status!”
Xu Zhenghua laughed.
Pull it down!
He has no interest in being a Uranus superstar.
He just wanted to cash in his inventory as soon as possible and enter the music scene to make his first pot of gold.
“Okay! I wrote down what you said, and I will continue to work hard!”
…………
Take business performances.
Make money.
“Let’s welcome “Jiangnan”… Xu! Zheng!! Hua!!!”
Of course, the Magic City is also a big place. I don’t know how many luxurious nightclubs there are. It’s the best place to come and grab a bite. Even in Xu Zhenghua’s opinion, this can be regarded as the main business of his visit to the Magic City this time, “Dear friends. Hey everyone, good evening! A song “Jiangnan” is for you!”
In the evening, Liu Junxian also held a party for himself, just to let himself know the record circle and art circle in East China, with the magic capital, especially the singer circle and author circle of Qixing Records, so as to facilitate the future Everyone has a cooperation or something.
But what’s the point of that, a bunch of people are just praising each other.
I went to stay for an hour or two, and I have already given an explanation. As for discussing cooperation, I am sorry, I am not interested at all! What? You said you want to discuss with me the composition of my new song? joke! How do I know how the song “Jiangnan” was written? What inspired you again?
In short…how can it be cool now.
I am the KING here!
The lights are ghostly, and there are thousands of waving arms under the stage!
And more importantly, now that I finally have two songs, I sing two songs at a time, one is still popular, and one is about to become popular, then the price is very charming.
At eleven o’clock in the night, I left the party and hurried to the night show. The magic capital sang first, plus 10,000!
160,000 Daming Treasures!
What a joy!
Then he said “I love you” in the screams like a dance of demons, quickly exited the stage, settled the bill and hurried to the next show – what’s even more exciting is that this time the commercial performance is all contacted by Guan Yulan, and there is no need to do it again. Let the performance company take away 30%.
So he ran five places in one go.
No matter how fast the transition is, it will be almost one o’clock in the morning when we leave the last house.
But worth it.
A total of 740,000 Daming Treasure banknotes have been credited!
There was still a business performance on the next morning.
One is a shopping mall, and the other is an auto show.
These two are contacted by the performance company. Although there is a commission, the price cannot be held high. The two games rushed down and deducted the commission to the performance company, and more than 300,000 yuan was also included in the account.
After finishing the performance and returning to the hotel to settle the accounts, even a person like Xu Zhenghua, who had no shortage of money in his previous life, could not help but sigh again: Once a singer becomes popular, it would be really cool to make money.
Within 24 hours, seven performances and one million were recorded.
If this is to open a factory, how much initial investment, how many workers, how many machines, how many raw materials, and how long it takes to create a million-level profit?
There was no performance in the afternoon, but Xu Zhenghua still would not leave the magic capital. He stayed in the hotel and asked the newly hired dance teacher to guide and practice the dance. At the same time, the two discussed the choreography.
Do it again at night, it is the annual meeting of a big company.
This one is even more extravagant, sing two songs, say a few auspicious words, and then as a guest to help draw a prize, after only ten minutes of work, you can actually get 600,000!
No wonder the more the New Year and the festival, the more reluctant the singer is to rest.
Came out from the annual meeting of other companies and continued to run.
One is that he is young, and the other is that Xu Zhenghua is a little bit eager to make money recently, so he never tires of it.
So he made more than 500,000 yuan in his account.
The next morning, when Xu Zhenghua was practicing dancing at the hotel, Xie Shuyi had already arrived, and everyone then drove off together and went straight to Kunshan near the magic capital.
is similar to Yanjiao Town, which Xu Zhenghua was very optimistic about before. It is also a very unique place.
The national information highway plan, the first phase of the goal is two lines, one is the imperial capital to Jinmen, and the other is the magic capital to Jiangning. The former is located in Yanjiao Town, which has an increasing agglomeration effect in the industry, while the latter is located in Kunshan, where a considerable number of scientific research and high-tech manufacturing enterprises have begun to gather.
Here are two companies that Xu Zhenghua wants to inspect.
One is engaged in LCD screen research, called “Zhongtian LCD Technology Co., Ltd.”, it has been established for more than a year, but the scientific research progress is very fast, and they have a good accumulation of related technologies. They think that TFT color LCD display , will be the future development direction of the screen, and is currently stepping up research and development.
This time, part of the investment will be used to implement the previous technology research and development into production, that is, to produce the ordinary cool white LCD screens and blue screens that are required by mobile phones and some devices on the market. The other part is to Continue to invest in the research and development of TFT liquid crystal technology.
For them, this round of financing is considered a B round, and the amount of capital to be introduced is relatively large. At present, there are many investors and investment companies, even large investment banks, are very interested.
Compared with those people, Xu Zhenghua is the most peculiar one.
A singer.
But he is rich and courageous enough to initially agree to invest 3 million in, and he has no requirements and ambitions to participate in the operation and management of the company, so he is very popular.
The other company is engaged in the research and development of network display cards. It has been established for more than a year. This time it is a round of financing. To be honest, their technology is not advanced, but because it is a purely scientific research company, there is no production part. In an industry that is light on assets and heavy on patents, Xu Zhenghua is very optimistic about the future development of the private computer field, so he is also ready to take part in it – he wants to invest in the two mature network graphics card companies, but he can’t squeeze in.
The two companies visited and held talks one by one.
Xu Zhenghua made a careful and cautious judgment with his not much knowledge of the development history of the Internet and private computers. In the end, he chose to give up the network graphics card research enterprise, but chose “Zhongtian LCD”, and Decided to invest more.
He was even willing to directly double the investment.
Just because the current major shareholder and president of the company, Ding Xufei, told him about the future development direction of LCD screens, and all of a sudden it matched the knowledge in his heart.
The future is the era of color LCD screens.
From the screens of mobile phones, technology products, and electronic products, to computer screens, TV screens, and even commercial large-scale screens, there is a huge blue ocean market for development.
After a visit and talk, Xu Zhenghua rushed back to the magic capital without stopping and flew away by plane.
But Xie Shuyi stayed, as his agent, to start a new round of financing negotiations with Zhongtian LCD – it was not until three days later that the negotiations initially reached an agreement.
Zhenghua Investment will participate in this round of financing of Zhongtian LCD, and will lead the investment with an investment of 6 million, directly taking 10% of the shares, and the remaining 6 million will be invested by two private investment funds and an investment company. Liantou – but this time, no one can get the guarantee that the equity will not be diluted in the next round of investment.
In fact, when the investment agreement was finally negotiated, it was already six days later.
At that time, Xu Zhenghua was no longer in the country, but went to Southeast Asia to make money.
On Monday, December 27th, “Jiangnan” lived up to expectations and topped the A-list of the Voice of the East.
This is not only Xu Zhenghua’s second number one single, but also the sixth number one single he created.
At the same time, “First Experience of Love” is still at the ninth place on the A list.
This undoubtedly fuels his current momentum.
So this trip to Southeast Asia, Qiongnan and Xinqiongzhou was very pleasant for him.
went to Southeast Asia on December 24th, took four days, flew to four cities, arrived in Qiongnan on the 28th, went to New Qiongzhou on the 30th, and flew back to China early in the morning on the 31st.
That night, he had already appeared at the New Year’s Eve party on the Tiangong TV network.
Appeared at around eleven o’clock, and it was only a little bit short, and it could be regarded as the finale.
However, when he met Jin Xiaoqing, who had not seen him for nearly a month, in the backstage dressing room, Xu Zhenghua suddenly learned that Jin Xiaoqing’s appearance time was actually at 11:30-she and her “A Thousand Thousand Que Song”, unexpectedly It is a position that is closer to the “finale” than himself.
This made Xu Zhenghua a little hurt.
But what made him speechless even more than this was that after the exchange that night, Jin Xiaoqing actually said that everyone in the singer circle is now saying that Xu Zhenghua is greedy for money.
And the cause of the incident was that when I went to the magic capital not long ago, I left the party that Star Records specially set up for me, and went straight to the venue to pick up the commercial performance, and I even ran several times in a row!
This thing spread out and was looked down upon by others.
