From Middle Age: Leisure Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 35 Dig him over to me!

On the Internet, the song "Learning to Meow" continued to become popular, and "Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain" suddenly emerged, which quickly attracted the attention of Jinye's old rival Xingcan Records.

In the general manager's office on the sixth floor of the Xingcan Records Building near Yongding Gate on the South Second Ring Road, Zhao Wenshan, the company's vice chairman and general manager, was discussing the matter with music director Wei Kai.

"What's happened to Jinye recently? He keeps making big moves? According to our initial analysis, Lin Nana's "The Final Countdown" could have dominated the list for at least seven consecutive weeks, but it was kicked off the top position after four weeks. Like

How can a song as popular as "Learning to Meow" reach the top of the charts?"

Zhao Wenshan, with his slicked back hair, is a bit incredible.

Wei Kai felt helpless after hearing this. He leaned back with his thin body and smoothed his long hair before saying:

"Although "Learning to Meow" is not high in terms of artistic value, this does not prevent the audience from liking it, but this is the market."

Speaking of this, Wei Kai looked serious: "Jinye's other song "Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain" should not be underestimated. It has now ranked third in the major rankings, second only to "Learning to Meow" and "Learning to Meow".

"The Final Countdown", but I believe it will surpass these two songs soon!"

"What's more important is that this kind of ancient singing style with a dramatic tone seems to me to have created a genre of pop songs! And it will still be popular in the future, so we have to take precautions and think of some ways in this regard."

After listening to Wei Kai's analysis, Zhao Wenshan nodded with appreciation.

He admired Wei Kai's vision very much.

As a music director of a company, you are not only able to discover singers and good songs, but more importantly, you must have a keen vision.

I see!

"this."

Zhao Wenshan pondered for a moment and raised his head: "Despite this, I still want to try! I don't believe that Yu Dongqing will have trouble with money! Wei Kai, go see him, explain my meaning clearly, and dig him over for me!"

"

Zhao Wenshan was a little confused and asked: "Why?"

Generally, the copyright share that companies give to creators who have copyrights is at most 40-60%, with the company taking the lion's share.

"Going to Yimin's tavern?" Yu Dongqing asked with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Yu, I've heard of you for a long time." Wei Kai took the initiative and stretched out his right hand.

So mysterious?

"He actually wrote that soundtrack?" Zhao Wenshan gasped after hearing this. "To be honest, the film was average, but the BGM was so hot! Who is this Yu Dongqing? I seem to have never heard of it.

Pass this person."

"Wei Kai, have you noticed that the songwriter of the song "Learning to Meow" and the song "Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain" are both written by the same person: Yu Dongqing!" Zhao Wenshan sighed.

"Haha, something happened, and it's a good thing! It's not my treat today, it's a friend of mine. You'll know when you come!" Zhang Yang said on the phone.

After arriving at the Park Hyatt Hotel, parking the car in the underground parking lot, Yu Dongqing took the elevator and went straight to the restaurant on the top floor of the building.

Zhao Wenshan slowly turned the boss' chair and suddenly leaned forward to look at Wei Kai: "Then do you think it is possible for us to poach him? Let's sign a special contract for him! In addition to the fact that the copyright of the song belongs to him, the copyright of the song belongs to him.

The share of the profits is also tilted towards him! Open up with the company on June 4th!"

"Because Wu Lan, the music director of Jinye Records, is an alumnus of Yu Dongqing. The two have a good relationship. He has been taken care of by Wu Lan for so many years in Jinye. According to people, this Yu Dongqing is very fond of old friendship.

"Wei Kai explained.

At a table by the window, Yu Dongqing saw Zhang Yang in overalls. Next to him was a thin, middle-aged man with long hair in a T-shirt, who looked like a literary and artistic worker. He seemed to have seen him somewhere.

Wouldn't it be better to find a cleaner barbecue stall, drink beer and have skewers?

"Zhang Yang, is something wrong?" Yu Dongqing felt keenly that Zhang Yang was acting strange today.

As one of the high-end consumption restaurants in the imperial capital and a new consumption landmark in Yanjing, the prices are naturally quite high, with the average consumption price per person being around a thousand yuan!

It's not that Zhang Yang can't afford the money, it's just that we are old friends and there is no need to go to these flashy places.

"Mr. Zhao, have you forgotten? Yu Dongqing debuted more than ten years ago and sang a few good songs?" Wei Kai reminded.

Wei Kai was a little embarrassed and thought for a moment before saying: "Okay, Mr. Zhao, I have a friend named Zhang Yang who has a good relationship with Yu Dongqing. Let's see if we can persuade Yu Dongqing through him?"

"Okay, no matter what method you use! Just tell him how much Jinye pays him as a daily salary, and our Xingcan can double it!"

After work, I took the subway home first, changed my white shirt and trousers into a T-shirt and casual pants, and then drove straight to Jianguomen.

The entire restaurant uses dark wooden floors with inlaid pebbles, and brick walls designed in Yanjing Hutong, presenting guests with a low-key and simple Chinese-style courtyard entrance.

"No, I'm tired of going there all the time. Let's change places. How about Yan Jingliang?"

Huh? Yan Jingliang?

Yan Jing Liang is a restaurant belonging to a Haytt hotel. It is located on the 66th floor of the Park Hyatt Hotel on Jianguomenwai Street in Chaoyang District. It has a 360-degree view of the charm of the ancient city BJ and the style of the modern metropolis. It can not only overlook the Chang'an Street at your feet.

, and you can even see Xishan from Guomao at a glance, which is a place frequented by celebrities.

"Mr. Zhao, I've known this for a long time. Not only that, I also discovered that the just-released "Jianghu Inn" has a very explosive soundtrack called "The Little Knife Club Overture", which is the BGM of the last appearance of the protagonist.

It was also written by Yu Dongqing!"

It is very important to seize the future hot spots of the market.

Yu Dongqing was very curious, but she happily agreed.

Entering the restaurant, you can see that it is surrounded by water features, bamboo forests and Chinese banyan trees, providing guests with a quiet outdoor garden above the noisy city.

As he was about to get off work this afternoon, Yu Dongqing was packing up the things on his desk when he suddenly received a call from Zhang Yang: "Dongqing, are you okay tonight? Let's go have a drink."

"Oh" Zhao Wenshan slapped his head: "I remember, it's him. Well, the young man is quite handsome and has a good singing voice. At that time, our Xingcan was planning to sign a contract with him, but he got sick and his vocal cords were damaged.

Yes, I know this and it feels like a pity. Later I heard that he entered Jinye and became an arranger?" Zhao Wenshan finally asked.

When Wei Kai heard this, it was a big deal!

"Yes, I have specifically learned that Yu Dongqing entered Jinye as an arranger and has been unknown to everyone, and he has not been much reused in the company. But for some reason, his talent has suddenly appeared recently and he has written several fire songs in a row!"

Wei Kai pondered for a moment: "That's good, but that Yu Dongqing may not agree."

Yu Dongqing strode over. Zhang Yang and the man both stood up. Zhang Yang introduced with a smile, "Dongqing, this is Wei Kai, the music director of Xingcan Records, who is also a good friend of mine."

Xingcan’s music director?

No wonder he looks familiar.

Yu Dongqing was secretly surprised.

Why did he come to see me? Why did he come to this high-end place to treat guests?

There was a vague answer in my heart.
