"Jiang Kan?"
Liu Yiliang was stunned for a moment when he heard the name.
In just a few minutes, many people's names had already appeared in his mind.
They are all long-established celebrities with similar status, similar qualifications, or similar singing skills and styles.
But hearing the name still made him suddenly feel dazed.
The memory also emerged more than a month ago, on the stage of "Xia Guo Good Singer", the one who shined dazzlingly, leading everyone else by a huge advantage, and finally won the annual championship without any suspense. The figure of that middle-aged man.
"Yes, that's Teacher Jiang Kan..."
Lao Chu had already taken out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead. If the boss hadn't insisted, he really didn't want to offend a well-known singing star like Liu Yiliang. God knows whether he would deal with him again in the future, and the other party's Personal connections are also enough to influence the short-term performance of a small and medium-sized company.
"We invited Teacher Jiang Kan to compose the music and lyrics for the new song. At the same time, everyone agreed that if he sang the song himself, the effect would be better. As a senior in the music industry, you understand this... …”
Seeing that the other party's expression became gentler, Lao Chu quickly continued to speak softly to make the other party feel at ease and calm down.
"Huh, if it's him, then I have no problem."
"I'll let you do this song."
Finally, Liu Yiliang closed his eyes and took a long breath, exhaled it after a few seconds, and then spoke slowly and forcefully.
The "White Rose" he sang on the "Good Singer" stage helped him get the third place in the current period, and this song has become his most successful hit song in the past six months. Now it is It's still in the top ten of this month's list, so I can't help but accept this favor.
Besides, with someone as big as Jiang Kan, no matter how many people want to hug him, there is no way for him to hug him. I have had a pretty good cooperation with him. How can I give up such a good relationship just to compete for the right to sing the opening song? broken?
Isn't this stupid?
"Oh? Really? Oh, Teacher Liu, you are so reasonable. This, this...this is...Hey, we are really embarrassed!"
Lao Chu quickly stretched out his chubby hands, held the other party's long, strong, and well-maintained hands tightly, and shook them vigorously.
"In order to thank Teacher Liu for understanding us, Mr. Wang also asked me to tell you that the 200,000 deposit will be regarded as our apology to you, and once there is an opportunity in the future, we will try our best to cooperate with you first..."
Liu Yiliang did not talk to him again, but said "hmm" softly, then stood up, buttoned the lower two buttons of his suit, nodded to Lao Chu, then strode out of the coffee shop, got on A nanny van parked nearby.
"Huh, the pressure of dealing with big stars is really great. The pressure of first-tier stars is completely different from that of ordinary second- and third-tier singers!"
Seeing the nanny car slowly driving away from his sight, Lao Chu finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Feiyang Entertainment Yangcheng Branch, General Manager's Office.
Manager An's face was rare without the scowl that had been lingering on it for the past few years. He was sitting on his executive chair with his legs crossed, drinking tea. He turned to the floor-to-ceiling glass window on the right and admired the endless stream of water outside the window. street view.
The past month and a half has been the most relaxing time and the lightest burden he has had in all the years he has been in charge of the Yangcheng Branch.
The years of decline were broken in one fell swoop by Commissioner Jiang, who had great powers. He not only completed several old orders that had been giving them headaches for a long time, but also continued to encourage them to bring back new big orders. The bigger the better!
Moreover, he attaches great importance to the cultivation of talents, and even selected a young man from the company's composition department as his disciple to teach and train him personally!
Ah, what a wonderful life, why couldn’t I live such a good life before? Commissioner Jiang is really the savior of our Yangcheng Branch!
"Zi Liu~"
Thinking of this, Manager An happily took another sip of tea.
He was usually reluctant to drink good tea, but this time he was willing to take it out and drink some.
After all, he is also a tea lover. The company's economy was in recession before. Otherwise, who would want to drink boiled water every day? I am not a goldfish (Note 1).
He had just given a report to the headquarters in Magic City. While praising Commissioner Jiang for his great contribution to the branch during this period, he also did not forget to praise his own assistance.
Anyway, the other party would not take away his power, and he would only stay for one year before leaving. In addition, he was not a jealous person in the first place, so naturally he said a few good words for the other party and flattered his superiors a few times. Praise them for their unique vision and the specialists they send can really solve the problem.
While Manager An was leisurely and happily sipping tea and looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window in a daze, his little niece burst in in a hurry.
"Cousin! I have good news for you!"
Xiang Ping happily jumped over and placed her hands on the general manager's desk with a bang, looking at her cousin with bright eyes.
"How many times have I told you to do your job outside!"
Manager An, who was not prepared, was so frightened by the "pop" that he almost spilled the tea in his cup.
"How old are you, and you are still so careless? What good news? Go and close the door first, so as not to disturb the colleagues outside. Look at how careless you are!"
The little girl stuck out her tongue, obediently closed the door, and then returned to her original position, happily reporting the good news that made her excited.
"Cousin, have you heard? Zhao Yu and Zhao Tianhou are going to form a group with Jiang Kan! They will specialize in singing songs that require both men and women to sing together!"
At this point, she no longer had the loud voice she had just now. Instead, she put her mouth to Manager An's ear and blocked it with her hands, as if she was afraid that the gossip would be heard by colleagues outside the office.
"Oh? Queen Zhao is going to team up with Commissioner Jiang's team?"
Manager An raised his eyebrows and leaned back in surprise, making the sturdy executive chair creak.
"Yes, I just got the gossip too! Queen Zhao felt that the song "Above the Moon" that Commissioner Yu Jiang wrote for her on "Xia Guo Good Singer" became very popular, so she wrote it again I invited him to sing this song again at my concert..."
The little girl looked at her cousin with dazzling eyes. She didn't realize how excited and happy she looked when gossiping. Manager An looked at her excited look and couldn't help but think about this problem again:
"Are all women in the world so excited when gossiping about their idols?"
"Oh? That's good. What next?"
He felt that he should play a supportive role at this time to make his niece happy. After all, he was in a very happy mood now.
"Then, this song became even more popular! You don't know, a fan took a video of them singing and singing at the concert and posted it on Bilibili. It was played 100,000 times overnight. !」
The little girl became more and more excited as she talked, and even licked her thirsty lips with her tongue. She didn't realize that she could actually get a glass of water first and drink it before talking about it.
"Now, a week later, this video has been played 1 million times! Comments are saying that the two of them match up perfectly, and many people are shouting "Together, together"! "
"There are still people below who are making noises, saying that the two of them can form a group. They usually sing their own songs, but when they encounter a song that can be sung by two people, they sing it together as a group. Zhao Yu's high-pitched and loud voice The rough voice coupled with Jiang Kan’s deep and steady rap that is full of the charm of a middle-aged man, the two people’s singing is simply a perfect combination!”
"Well, well, what then?"
Seeing that my niece was talking so dry that she kept licking her lips with her tongue without stopping, I felt so sad.
The cousin who loved her stood up, picked up a disposable paper cup, poured a glass of boiled water for her personally and handed it to her hand.
"Then? Haha, it's a dramatic development to say the least! The water friends were just making noises at the beginning, and they also knew that this was definitely impossible to achieve. The views of many third-party viewers were that Zhao Yu was a big celebrity and a veteran. She is a queen and superstar, but she really may not be able to like Jiang Kan, a middle-aged man in his forties who just debuted for a little more than half a year!"
Xiang Ping took the boiled water from the other party, held it in her hand and felt that the temperature was just right. She subconsciously put it to her mouth and drank it in one gulp. She put down the paper cup without finishing it and continued to gossip.
"Now Jiang Kan's fans were unconvinced, and began to refute him, saying things like "a man has forty-one flowers," and also said that with Jiang Kan's talent, I don't know how many people in the music industry want him. Hug his thigh, if this thing comes to pass, Zhao Yu should be the one to climb up to him! "
"Haha, now Zhao Yu's fans don't buy it anymore, and started to attack Jiang Kan's fans... Now there are more and more comments, and this video is becoming more and more popular. Today it has increased by more than 20 It has been played 10,000 times, and now even fans of other singers have joined in and started the melon-eating mode!"
Manager An played the role of a listening audience very well, allowing his niece to talk endlessly about the melons she had eaten in the past few days.
Then when she finally said she was thirsty again and ran to pour some water, he asked weakly:
"This melon is very good, but you said it is "good news". This is good, but what is so good about it? "
"Haha, cousin, oh, Manager Anxiety, you are just pretending to be confused because you understand. If Commissioner Jiang really forms a team with Zhao Tianhou, then his reputation will definitely rise by several levels again. ah! How many fans does Zhao Tianhou have? One-tenth of them follow him. That is an amazing number! "
She took another big sip of warm water and finally suppressed the burning dryness in her throat.
"He is now the number one in our Yangcheng branch! The more famous he is, the more we can get more and bigger orders based on his fame, right? If there is another movie directed by a famous director, let him When it comes to songwriting, if he writes a song that two people sing together, wouldn’t he be able to charge a huge production fee? Hahahaha!”
The little girl was so intoxicated by the beautiful vision she had conceived. Since there were no outsiders in the office anyway, she laughed happily.
"Haha, Xiao Xiang, what are you so happy about?"
Just as she was laughing happily, the door behind her was suddenly pushed open, and a familiar middle-aged man's voice came in. The little girl's laughter suddenly stopped, like a roaring The goose was caught by fate.
"Haha, we are talking about a big new contract we have won. Mars Pictures just approached us today and want you to help write an ending song for their new movie. This is also a big deal worth two million. Shanzi, we are having fun."
Manager An's clever conversation saved Xiang Ping, who was facing a social life situation.
She usually behaves quite well-behaved and quiet in front of Jiang Kan.
Unexpectedly, I accidentally got carried away today and was caught by the other party. My pink face was already red from holding back, and I was so embarrassed that I wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"Ah, yes, yes, we just received the order. I was so happy that I couldn't hold it back..."
The little girl lowered her head, trying not to let Jiang Kan see her already flushed face. As she spoke, she bent over and backed away from the door, and then closed the door from the outside.
"Haha, kid, it's been a long time since I encountered such a series of big orders. I'm excited at times."
Manager An stood up, picked up the paper cup and put in a few pinches of good tea, then connected the boiling water to the water dispenser, put it on the coffee table next to Jiang Kan with both hands.
"Haha, I understand. I also know some young girls who are also very lively. Young people...ahem..."
Speaking of which
Here, Jiang Kan felt that he shouldn't say that, so he interrupted the topic with a cough.
"I came here because I heard that Guangming Film and Television asked me to sing their theme song, right? They have already settled the matter with the singer they had made an appointment with before?"
Jiang Kan put his right index finger and middle finger together, tapped the coffee table a few times to express his gratitude, and then asked doubtfully.
"I remember they said they signed a contract with a certain first-line singer in Xinghai. They also said that the deposit had already been paid. Wouldn't it be too offending if they asked me to sing instead?"
"Well... I have just been notified. In fact, as Party B, we don't really care about Party A's own affairs... But since you mentioned it, I will reveal some information to you, and you will be happy to hear it. Don’t spread rumors…”
Manager An held his cup and sat on the wicker chair sofa next to Jiang Kan. He turned his head and whispered to him.
"Of course it won't be spread."
Jiang Kan nodded and waited for his explanation.
"Actually, the singer they made an appointment with before is Liu Yiliang. You must also know him."
"Liu Yiliang?"
Jiang Kan was startled after hearing this, and leaned back against the backrest of the wicker chair and sofa in a daze.
"Yes, Liu Yiliang. He was very reluctant at the beginning of the term. After all, the remuneration is one million, which is not a small sum of money!"
"But then when he heard that they wanted you to sing the song you wrote yourself, he immediately agreed without even saying a word!"
At this time, Manager An also looked a little gossipy. After all, this is a famous A-list celebrity who has been famous for a long time. Now he takes the initiative to give up his seat to his own singer. This is too surprising.
You must know that there is fierce competition in the singer circle. Business opportunities are limited during a certain period of time. The more opportunities I have, the less opportunities you have. These are naked interests, real money!
And Liu Yiliang actually gave in as soon as he heard Jiang Kan's name?
He is not a little-known singer in the music scene like Mu Zhidan before, who dared not even venture out!
If this melon is revealed, I don’t know what kind of shock it will cause in the music world?
