Chapter 255 confrontation with Director Huang
The group of people gathered together seemed quite festive and lively enough. It had long attracted the frequent attention of the judges around him, and it had already attracted the attention of Zhou Jinglun and his agent Uncle Liu. At this time, Uncle Liu had already found Director Huang who was sitting in the front and drinking coffee with him yesterday afternoon and whispered something.
Director Huang looked back, shook his head and stood up from his seat, walking towards the group of people surrounding Zhang Wenyou.
"Are you Chen Chufan?" Director Huang walked closer and nodded friendly to Zhang Wenyou who was sitting in the seat. He said hello, and then asked Chen Chufan.
Chen Chufan nodded. He thought it was quite strange. Could it be that the middle-aged man in front of him also had his own record at home, right? Otherwise, how could a stranger of two recognize him at a glance?
"Well, I am Huang Feng, the company's music director. Please prepare quickly and let these irrelevant people avoid it first. The judges are almost here. Your performance with Zhou Jinglun is about to begin today." Huang Feng said with a frown.
Although it was just a fact, the Director Huang's unfriendly expression and his unruly tone made Chen Chufan feel uncomfortable, especially the implicit intention of bombing all his girlfriends out, which made Chen Chufan even more dissatisfied. It also made Chen Chufan lose any favors for Director Huang who had met for the first time.
Speaking of the position of music director, Chen Chufan often comes into contact with in M country. Tom Jackson is similar to Director Huang, not to mention that Kalman Watt was a genuine music director before becoming his agent. Therefore, the position of music director of Universal Records naturally has no mystery to Chen Chufan, which makes Chen Chufan not have a sense of awe for Director Huang, who has a constipated expression in front of him.
So Chen Chufan's answer also seemed very rude: "No one to wait? Where is there any one to wait here?"
Chen Chufan's unceremonious answer surprised Director Huang, and he became angry after the accident.
He has been a music director at Universal Records for many years but has never seen a newcomer who dares to be a big shot in front of him. Even an old man with a long reputation is polite to him. Like Chen Chufan, who dares to contradict himself after introducing himself, does not mean that there are no ones in the future, but it is certain that unprecedented.
"Aren't the so many friends you brought with you unrelated people?" Director Huang said hard. When facing a newcomer, Director Huang naturally wouldn't have any good tone.
"Are you talking about them?" Chen Chufan pointed to the group of people around him, "They are really not unrelated people!"
After saying that, Chen Chufan began to introduce one by one: "Ms. Han Xiaoxi is the erhu player I specially invited to accompany me. Miss Ye Siying beside her is the pianist who accompanies me later, and Miss Su Xiuqing. She is my personal assistant. Do you think they are irrelevant?"
After Chen Chufan introduced Director Huang, he was silent. The two newcomers competed for singing, and they were all able to do it. It was indeed understandable that Chen Chufan found his own accompaniment. If he insisted on letting the singer go out, it would seem inhumane. As for the personal assistant, it was natural to follow his singer.
"What about them?" Director Huang pointed to Zhang Shisan, who was looking around behind Chen Chufan, and Zhang Si, who was looking around, and someone else came, and returned to his expressionless Zhang Si.
"They are my bodyguards. The kind that can be protected in close 24 hours a day!" Chen Chufan replied without any weakness.
Director Huang was a little depressed. This newcomer named Chen Chufan is really awesome. He has a complete set of personal assistants, agents, and bodyguards! Is he really a newcomer?
Don’t think that if you sign a contract with a record company, you will be able to make a fortune. For newcomers who have just signed a contract with a record company, they have no basic salary. The record company will not even pay for living expenses, and only pay dividends. Whether they can survive depends on the market’s reaction to the record. This is why record companies dare to sign so many newcomers every year.
Anyway, there is no need for record companies to pay anything. As long as you feel that the singer has potential, you can sign it first. It is naturally the best to become famous after training. Even if you can't become famous, you won't lose anything.
Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary newcomers to have a celebrity style like Chen Chufan before he debuted. They have all personal assistants and personal bodyguards. You should know that most newcomers are not from good families and even dare not be full-time singers, because if the company finally feels that they have no value to make a name for themselves or the record market is not responding well, then they may go hungry.
For example, Zhang Wenyou, who has been named the God of Songs, didn't dare to quit his ticketing job at the Cathay Pacific reservation department when he first signed a contract with Polykin Records. It was not until his first record was sold. He was sure that he could support his family, but he resigned and devoted himself to the challenging job of stardom. The facts proved that Zhang Wenyou's talent as a star is indeed much higher than his ticketing service.
Of course, there are not many lucky people like Zhang Wenyou who can make a big hit on the first record. However, Chen Chufan in front of Director Huang was one of them. This made Director Huang, who was not familiar with Chen Chufan's experience, unable to get out of the market. Of course, Director Huang could not immediately change his attitude like Chen Chufan, otherwise he, the music director, would have seemed too worthless. Especially Chen Chufan's attitude towards him at this time was not humble or even not very friendly, which made Director Huang feel even more dissatisfied.
"You said they are bodyguards or bodyguards? Why do I think they don't look like each other?" Director Huang was a little harsh. But he obviously made things difficult for the wrong partner. Before Chen Chufan could hit him this time, Zhang Shisan was dissatisfied with it. Criticizing him not like a bodyguard? This is unscientific, because in Zhang Shisan's opinion, he should definitely be a versatile person who looks like anything, so Director Huang's words were completely contempt for him.
So Zhang Shisan naturally took a step forward and asked Director Huang with a serious face with a smile, "You said I don't look like a bodyguard? I'm brave enough to say it again?"
Zhang Shisan's words successfully made Director Huang turn his attention to him. When he was about to scold this man who dared to threaten him, he suddenly felt extremely dangerous, as if he was staring at a cobra, and his whole body tightened. A sentence was stuck in his throat and did not jump out.
Zhang Shisan obviously did not intend to let this Director Huang, who questioned his professional ability, continue to jokingly say: "Or do you need me to prove it to you?"
"How do you want to prove it?" Director Huang felt that he had used all his strength to squeeze out this sentence. At this time, he felt a little embarrassed.
"It's simple!" Zhang Shisan quickly touched his shirt, and then a black pistol like a magic trick appeared in his hand. Then he skillfully pulled a gun flower, pointed the head of the gun at himself, and handed the handle of the gun to Director Huang, and said seriously: "Come on, snatch it for you, take it and point it at my brother Chen's head, and then I can prove it to you!"
Director Huang became messy in an instant. A cold sweat suddenly surged from his forehead like a soybean. Zhang Shisan handed over this black and metallic thing, which didn't look like a counterfeit or movie prop.
At this time, it was not just Director Huang who was messy. The few people who surrounded each other became a little nervous as Zhang Shisan pulled out his gun. Fortunately, Zhang Wenyou sat in the back seat of the entire performance room and his voice was not loud. It did not attract the attention of others in the front row, so he did not cause any commotion.
But even so, Chen Chufan looked at Zhang Shisan and felt so painful. He took out the gun and encouraged others to take it and pointed it at his head. Is this a normal bodyguard doing? Chen Chufan only felt that the bodyguard introduced to him by Ye Feng was really full of evil spirits. Chen Chufan even had the urge to call Ye Feng at this time. He had to ask who Zhang Shisan was.
Otherwise, Zhang Wenyou has always been very popular in the circle. Faced with the stiff atmosphere at this time, the good-looking man immediately stood up and smoothed out the situation.
"The performance is about to begin. Chen Chufan might as well follow your accompaniments to prepare. As for your bodyguards, you can take the seat in the back row. Director Huang is also kind-hearted. He is afraid that there are too many people who are not related to the game during your competition and will affect your performance! This bodyguard friend, please put away the gun first."
It seems that the power of idols is indeed infinite. Even Zhang Shisan, who has always been difficult to deal with, nodded with a face-saving smile after Zhang Wenyou spoke and persuaded, then withdrew his hand and took the gun back.
Director Huang smiled reluctantly at Zhang Wenyou thanked him, saying, "My friend is right, you go and take a seat first. Chen Chufan, come with me, you have to draw lots with Zhou Jinglun to absolutely play the order."
After saying that, he left the small circle that made him embarrassed without looking back.
"Brother Zhang, where are you going to make trouble?" As soon as Director Huang left, Chen Chufan whispered.
"What's wrong? I'm solving his doubts. He doesn't believe that I'm your bodyguard, so I'll prove to him, what a simple thing!" Zhang Shisan replied without any concern.
Chen Chufan was speechless. He understood that his bodyguard was worthy of being introduced by Ye Feng. As expected, he was a guy with Ye Feng, and he was so unreliable!
