Chapter 370 Convince Tom
Chen Chufan watched Lao Pao and Qiangzi disappear in front of him, and the smile on his face gradually calmed down, and his expression became more and more serious.**
It would be too fake to say that Chen Chufan has no pressure at all. Speaking of which, Chen Chufan has not even held his own concert seriously. His only two concert experiences were held, one of which was the "M Country Future Idol Concert" with classmates from Burke Conservatory of Music, and was a guest performing at Zhang Wenyou's "Complete Literary Friend Concert".
Now the first concert in his life was only about thirty hours. Now he has no band, no backing singing, no stage, no tickets to be released, and even his agent is not around, so this is definitely the crazyest decision in his life.
But Chen Chufan firmly believed that he could succeed. Because he had the musical cells inherited from the planet Dika, the super large lung capacity after music genetic modification, and a good voice that had been genetically optimized. What is more important is that he had a ball! So what he was considering was how to prepare his concert to the fullest and perfection in the shortest time.
First of all, we must make sure the band is good! Chen Chufan was running quickly in his mind. It was not that he could rent the venue and drag it back, but the venue was a problem. Chen Chufan felt that he could only entrust the record company to do it. As the reporters questioned, he did not think that he had such great face to rent the green space in the center of the arena to serve as a stage tomorrow night.
However, the highest level Chen Chufan knew about Universal Records was Tom Jackson, who was far away from Hong Kong Island. Calculated the time difference, it is only around 6 am in the morning in Hong Kong Island, and it is far from working hours. Chen Chufan does not have Tom Jackson's private number, so Chen Chufan could only wait until the working hours arrived and contact Tom Jackson via the company phone.
So Chen Chufan was going to call Lu Jia first and find a band and the geniuses of the Juliet School. They are definitely the best choice for Chen Chufan. Chen Chufan has had experience performing on the same stage with them. He completely believed that those musicians who are not doing their jobs would only take one day or even less time to rehearse and master all the songs he needed to prepare for tomorrow night's concert.
More importantly, Chen Chufan's solo concert was in M country, so he did not plan to sing the Chinese songs in his Chinese album at the concert tomorrow night. After all, the difference between Chinese and Western cultures is used to piece together. It is inevitable that the quality of the concert will be greatly reduced. Chen Chufan created only four English songs, and even if he worked with Sara Kona, there were only five songs, which were far from reaching the songs needed for a complete concert.
So Chen Chufan planned to use "The Overture of Life" from his new album that has not been released yet. These new songs adapted by Lu Jia have no lyrics and use a pure voice interpretation method. Because these songs themselves tend to be classical music styles, the instruments used are different from ordinary bands, so asking for help from Juliet is definitely the most perfect choice.
Of course, Chen Chufan also has second-hand preparations. After all, he is going to smash the most influential music awards in the music industry in M country. He must consider the attitudes of the students of Juliet. His concerts have no big interests with his classmates. If he ultimately cannot obtain the support of the little geniuses of Juliet, he can only rely on Universal Records. As far as he knows, Universal Records has a few good bands under European and American Universal Records.
After confirming his thoughts in his mind, Chen Chufan immediately started dialing, but he didn't have much time to delay.
But before Chen Chufan finished pressing Lu Jia's number, he called the Hong Kong Island number directly. The number was very unfamiliar, but Chen Chufan still quickly answered the phone. After all, his number was still very private, and he could be contacted through this phone. He would definitely not be a stranger.
"Chan, my God! Are you crazy? Do you know what you said to those damn reporters?" The phone just answered. Tom Jackson, whom Chen Chufan wanted to contact just now but couldn't get in touch, rang out of the phone. However, it was obvious that the gentleman had a bad temper at this time, and the roaring voice made Chen Chufan feel a little numb from the eardrums.
"Calm down, please calm down! Mr. Tom Jackson! In addition, the news I announced ten minutes ago, why do you know now?" Chen Chufan was not in a hurry to explain anything, but asked in confusion. This speed is indeed too fast, right?
"Ten minutes? Do you know how many calls I've received from reporters in these ten minutes? Oh my god, I can't believe you're so arrogant! Let the Grammy Awards ceremony be a joke? Oh my god, is this really what you said? How do you calm me down? Do you know what you are doing? Do you know who you are challenging? It's the Grammy! It's the M-National Recording Association! It's the world's most influential music awards ceremony! Well, you suddenly announced that you're going to hold a solo concert next to the Grammy Awards ceremony, and you'll also shame the Grammy Awards! And now you're still away from the time of your so-called concert, and there's still," said Tom Jackson, who paused, obviously calculating the time.
"It's only 30 hours left. What did you ask me to say? Have you ever thought about your future? Or you don't want to be a singer, but you are planning to change careers and become a clown, entertainment fans in the world. Is that true? Or now you will explain to me what made you make such an irrational decision?" Tom Jackson said quickly like a machine gun.
"Of course, Mr. Jackson! I have sufficient reasons!" Facing Tom Jackson who was extremely excited on the phone, Chen Chufan said all the causes and consequences very calmly.
"This is the general situation! Okay, I think the purpose of your call is not just to get angry meaninglessly, right?" Chen Chufan asked back after explaining.
Perhaps it was Chen Chufan's calmness and calmness, or perhaps it was Tom Jackson who had calmed down a little through his excited speech. In short, when Tom Jackson spoke again, he seemed much calmer. Although his rapid speed exposed his mentality at this time, it was still not peaceful, but it was obviously much better than the roar just now.
"Well, then what are you going to do now? Do you know? Because of your impulse, you might need a year or even two years to turn your image in the hearts of fans! Oh my god, I really don't know what to say! Damn Recording Association! Damn Columbia Company! Damn Grammys!"
After being excited, Tom Jackson began to curse constantly. You should know that Chen Chufan is the ace singer in his hands. In his opinion, Chen Chufan will soon lose his image due to temporary irrationality, which will directly affect the future benefits of Universal Records and his own bright future. What's more, this matter is just at the critical moment when the company is preparing to release Chen Chufan's second record, and it even beat the series of arrangements he had already prepared, so he definitely has sufficient reason to be angry!
"Mr. Jackson, do you mean I can't turn the tables? Or in your opinion, I will lose! Tomorrow's concert is destined to fail, is that right?" Chen Chufan ignored Tom Jackson's crazy complaints, but began a series of rhetorical questions.
"Of course! Do you still have to think about this? The arm can't twist the thigh, not to mention that you only have more than 30 hours of preparation time, and do you know how long the Grammy party has been planned? To be honest, it's been at least half a year. What's more important is that they have a mature model themselves, and they have all the superstars in the world to support them! And what about you? What? You don't have the experience of a complete concert!" As a professional, even without even going through the brain, Tom Jackson analyzed the situation between the two sides clearly.
Chen Chufan's expression began to become serious. He knew that it was a critical moment. If he could not convince Tom Jackson to support him, then his concert would be difficult tomorrow and would definitely not achieve the effect he wanted.
So when Chen Chufan spoke again, his tone was unprecedentedly firm: "You were wrong Mr. Jackson! You forgot, I have my music! Wait, don't interrupt, listen to me say it completely? If you forget everything we have experienced in our relationship, then I need to remind you that I am a good person at creating miracles, and I like to create miracles. When Kalman Watt questioned my music, I told him that I would use my music to make him regret it. At that time, someone believed that I could do it? No, what was the result?"
"When I was successful in M Country and my single set a miracle in digital music sales, you all said that I should not give up the foundation I built in M Country because after returning to China, I will face one or another difficulties, but what's the result? Can you imagine the achievements I have made in the Chinese music scene on the day I returned to China? And how long did it take me? No more than three months, right? Is this a miracle? So why do you think I can't continue to create a miracle? Why do you think I can't use my concert to make the Grammy Awards ceremony a joke? Finally, what I want to ask is, did you ever think that there was a Chinese singer who could win three Grammy Awards nominations in just half a year?"
