142. Before the exam(1/2)
Yingzi's residence is a place worthy of the status of "Queen of Heaven".
This is the end of Hewan Green Park. Pass through the tree-shaded path and drive two kilometers on the asphalt road. On the side of the river embankment, Eiko's villa is located here.
Parking the car beside the neatly maintained lawn, Ruan Qingzhu got out of the car and knocked on the door.
Today, in addition to Ruan Qingzhu, there are also several big bosses and people in the industry who came to visit me.
They were lying on the comfortable and soft sofa in the living room, smoking cigars, and talking about the international structure and economic situation.
Ruan Qingzhu greeted these people and shook hands with them one by one, not daring to neglect.
The living room of Yingzi's house is like the hub of the entertainment industry.
A cultural salon is held here every week, and celebrities from all walks of life come here to sit and talk about important issues. "There are wealthy businessmen talking and laughing, and there is endless contact."
These bosses look rich and powerful, but Ruan Qingzhu knows that they all have a lot of money.
The owner of a mine in Shanbei earns tens of millions a day from just one well. He makes money like water and spends money like water.
What they like the most is a well-known and good-tempered veteran singer like Yingzi. They will spend a lot of money on opening ceremonies, children's birthday parties, etc., and let Yingzi lead the team to select a few stars to support them.
Have a face.
Over time, Yingzi's parlor became a very famous place in the entertainment industry.
It can be said that even if she never releases new songs from now on, no one would dare to offend her in the slightest due to her status in the industry.
Thinking of the young songwriter in the same company as him who had just shown his talent, Ruan Qingzhu felt a pang of regret.
After sitting in the living room and waiting for a while, Yingzi came out with red wine to meet the guests.
"Welcome!" Yingzi sat down in her exclusive seat with a smile on her face.
The guests applauded like a star at a concert, and Yingzi beamed.
Yingzi first greeted the bosses and joked for a while. After finishing the greetings, he finally looked at Ruan Qingzhu:
"Qingzhu, what do you have to say?"
Ruan Qingzhu said respectfully: "Master, have you heard the recent song "Courage"?"
Yingzi sat deeply on the sofa and said, "I heard it once, what's the matter?"
"That's it," Ruan Qingzhu said, "that "Courage" was written by Chi Chi, and the company decided..."
She stood on her own side and finished explaining the cause and effect, but there was no expression on Yingzi's face.
After being silent for a long time, she slowly said: "To be honest, after I listened to "Courage", they all sang so well before, but my feeling after listening to it was just average."
She raised her head and asked the others: "What do you think?"
"I've never heard of it. Boss Ying said it's average, so it must be average."
"Boss Ying still has a very vicious eye."
Yingzi took a sip of red wine and added: "Her singing style is soft and soft. She has to be explosive but not explosive, and she has to have high pitch but not high pitch. To be honest, she is far worse than you."
Ruan Qingzhu clasped his hands and said: "The song "Courage" is indeed not a high-pitched song, but she also has a song "Red Bean" with a high treble."
Yingzi said: "Oh, it's the one where you can sing even if you play two keys...right?"
"Um……"
There were others present, and it was difficult for master and disciple to tell clearly.
The two of them had a tacit understanding - it was Yingzi himself who asked Lu Ren to write "Acacia Bean" to defeat Jiang Xinhai.
Ruan Qingzhu said: "Master, I feel a little pressure...after all, she is very famous."
"Don't be pressured," Yingzi waved her hand, "Just watch. In the music industry, strength is the most important thing. Jiang Xinhai just has a good-looking face. As long as he dares to release an album, he will be a loser."
After speaking, she swirled the clear red wine in the glass a few times before saying:
"She came to the music scene as a rising film and television star. She probably looked at other people's amphibious and amphibious artists from Shanghai and thought she could do it too... she thought too much."
Suddenly someone clapped their hands and said, "Speaking of this, I remembered it."
Everyone looked at him and he said: "For my son's birthday, I wanted to invite Jiang Xinhai over to support me, so I contacted her mother and wanted to have some contact first, but she didn't appreciate it and didn't even come."
"This kid is the pure type, not the kind who just hangs around for a while and then finds a rich man to marry."
A boss said with a sly smile: "Sister Ying, recruit her here? We all want to see Jiang Xinhai's style."
Yingzi said loudly: "I'm recruiting him! He has a very good idea and won't come even if he says nothing."
Ruan Qingzhu whispered: "I heard that it was Chi Chi who tricked me into making music together."
Yingzi looked at her with sharp eyes.
"Chi Chi, is that the supporter who talks nonsense on Weibo?" said an artist next to him, "Didn't that just hit Sister Ying's target?"
A boss suddenly realized: "Oh, I remember, the one who talks about sales, right?"
"I don't know how high the sky is," another person said. "For a guy like him, if he knew that Sister Ying would earn 5 million for any appearance, his jaw would be shocked. Who makes money by selling CDs?"
A man with a relatively calm voice said: "Boss Ying, just ask me. I have so many cooperative manufacturers. As long as you say a word, I can make them unable to make any waves or even sing."
Yingzi showed an indifferent smile and said: "It sounds like I am overbearing. I am not trying to force people to death."
The red wine was like blood, and she drank the last bit into her red lips. Yingzi placed the wine glass on the side table, put her hands together, and said slowly:
"What I want is very simple, just let him change his career."
…
The next day, the Entertainment Star Information newspaper was spread at every newsstand in the streets and alleys, with the headline on the front page:
"The Queen Yingzi commented on two recent hot songs: Ruan Qingzhu has the standard, but Jiang Xinhai lacks the effort."
Chen Ya threw a coin to the newsstand owner, took the newspaper and tucked it under his arm, and walked through the noisy street.
The conversations of passers-by reached his ears:
"...Yingzi has already approved this. Jiang Xinhai is indeed not a singer."
"Yes, "Courage" sounds good, but it has no connotation and the singing skills are also poor..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chen Ya tightened his clothes and walked home.
Unexpectedly, it's autumn and it's a bit cold.
As soon as I opened the door and entered the rental house, I heard Jiang Xinhai's anxious voice on the phone.
"...We agreed and paid the deposit, so why do you break your promise?"
When she saw Chen Ya coming back, she handed over the phone with tears in her eyes.
“The manufacturer said they won’t release CDs for us!”
When Chen Ya heard this, he threw away the newspaper and picked up his mobile phone: "Hello? What's going on?"
After listening to the person on the phone, he quickly walked to the window: "You are breaking the contract!..."
"...Well, if you don't do it, there are people who do it. Return the deposit to me."
"...What? You collect money so quickly, but you have to go through procedures to pay back the money? What's the point of this??"
"I'm going to sue you!"
After hanging up the phone angrily, Chen Ya returned the phone to Jiang Xinhai.
"How is it?" Jiang Xinhai asked, blinking.
"It's bad."
Chen Ya fell on the sofa.
He rarely says this. So if he says it's bad, it means it's really bad.
In the year 2012, albums were released on CDs.
Some people also collect vinyl records, but most families don't have record players.
Digital albums are just an idea, piracy is rampant, and digital copyright is still under construction, so it will not take off.
So now when albums are released, the mainstream is still selling CDs.
Carving CDs is not a very cutting-edge technical job, but there are not many domestic factories that do this.
The main reason is that this market is not big, and the market has been developing for many years, so not many manufacturers have survived.
Chen Ya deliberately found a manufacturer that had no connection with the original company. When he found this manufacturer, he was quite easy to talk to.
Unexpectedly, within a few days, the other party suddenly said that the factory's business strategy had been adjusted and it would no longer do CDs.
Who would believe this? It has been so many days since the order was sent out. Logically speaking, their CD should have been burned long ago.
Baimeng book
How could the manufacturer suddenly stop selling the product? It was just to cause trouble for them.
No matter how hard it was, I was still treated like this.
"We were fooled," Chen Ya said dejectedly, "I just don't know if it was the company or some great god who took action, but we were completely fooled."
