From Middle Age: Leisure Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 36 Yan Jingliang

However, he still smiled and held the other person's hand: "No, Director Wei is too polite. Now there are so many talented singers under Xingcan, and this is all due to you."

The two complimented each other for a while, then sat down. Not long after, the waiter brought the dishes: Taylor oysters, grilled octopus. All are Yan Jingliang's signature dishes, and finally a bottle of French high-end dry red was served.

The three of them chatted while eating, and of course they couldn't do without the current topic in the music industry. Wei Kai praised Yu Dongqing again, saying that the soundtrack and two songs he wrote have become popular in the entire music industry, which is enviable.

"You are wrong, Wei Kai. In addition to what you said, Dongqing also wrote two songs, which are still good!" Zhang Yang interrupted with a mysterious look on his face.

"Oh? What song?" Wei Kai put down his chopsticks and asked with concern.

"Two ballads, called "Love Song 1980" and "Love Song 1990" respectively, are now very popular in bars in Sanlitun and Houhai."

It turned out to be a folk song?

Wei Kai is not very interested in folk songs because they are not mainstream in the market and have little commercial value.

But from another perspective, doesn’t this make Yu Dongqing even more talented?

I can write not only fast and hot songs, but also ballads!

This made Wei Kai even more interested. He thought for a while, picked up the chopsticks and helped Yu Dongqing pick up a piece of oyster and put it on his plate. He asked casually: "Mr. Yu, you made such a big oyster for Jinye."

Contribution, I think Mr. Tan from Jinye attaches great importance to you, right?"

"Attention? The first song "Little Knife Club Overture" has no copyright! Only tens of thousands of dollars were given. Later, it was Wu Lan who fought hard to modify the contract. That Tan Songlin is an iron rooster who doesn't get a dime!" Zhang Yang interjected.

Sure enough, when Wei Kai heard this, he immediately showed surprise: ""Knife Club Overture" is so popular and only costs tens of thousands? What a loss!"

Wei Kai didn't seem very surprised. He smiled and said, "Mr. Yu, don't refuse in a hurry. Think about it first. If you think about it, you can contact me at any time."

"Do you know who the thin man with long hair is when we have dinner with Yu Dongqing? He is Wei Kai, the music director of Xingcan Records!"

Yan Jingliang is a high-end restaurant. Ai Tong likes to eat here very much. The environment is elegant and the food is delicious. More importantly, there are no fans or paparazzi here, so you can enjoy your dinner quietly.

Xingcan’s music director?

Suddenly, Yu Dongqing was a little excited!

It's a disadvantage

But why are these two singing and playing a double act?

"No, thank you. I said I have no plans to leave my job for the time being." Yu Dongqing was polite but firm in tone, and then added with a smile:

"If I really don't want to do it that day, how about I go to you, Director Wei?"

"cheers!"

Use the freshness of pineapple, orange, lemon juice and other fruits to brighten the freshness of the oysters, and finally use the spiciness of mustard to bring the taste to a climax. For those who love "oysters", they will say it is addictive.

Ah?

The price offered by Xingcan is indeed a bit tempting.

"At the same time, your personal salary will double that of Jinye, and it shall not be less than a monthly salary of 100,000! Also, if you resign according to the contract, our company will bear all the compensation for Jinye's losses!"

Ai Tong was surprised.

Wang Fang pursed her lips and motioned for her to look in the direction she was looking.

Yu Dongqing and Zhang Yang also raised their glasses, but everyone knew that what Yu Dongqing just said was just for the occasion.

"It's not our turn to talk about the level of remuneration. If he really changes jobs, he won't be able to write songs for you in the future!"

They are Ai Tong and her manager Wang Fang.

"How about it? Mr. Yu? If you have any other requests, just ask!" Wei Kai finally said.

In a corner of the restaurant that Yu Dongqing didn't pay attention to, two women were also eating.

"What's wrong? Sister Fang?" Ai Tong asked in a low voice.

She was enjoying a plate of Taylor oysters. It is said that the restaurant chef Martin Dolz personally prepared a dish. The cooking method is similar to Peruvian ceviche. The seafood is paired with rich tropical fruits from the Americas and contains marine minerals.

Taste of Taylor Oysters.

"Just jump, to be honest, the compensation our company gives people is a bit too low!" Ai Tong complained.

One is a little older and looks smart and capable, while the other is a well-dressed girl wearing a pink T-shirt.

But when I think about it, he seems to have written several good songs in a row recently, and it’s not unusual for the company to give him more than 200,000 yuan and come here to have a meal.

At this time, Wei Kai looked sincere: "Mr. Yu, since I have said this, let me make it clear directly. Our Mr. Zhao appreciates your talent very much, so we invite you to join our company."

The three of them continued to chat while eating, but no one mentioned the matter again.

"You are stupid." Wang Fang glared at her.

"Don't worry about this matter. Pretend you didn't see anything and I'll handle it." Wang Fang looked at Yu Dongqing, who was chatting and laughing, and said calmly.

She was eating with great interest when she suddenly noticed that Wang Fang, who was sitting opposite, seemed a little absent-minded and kept looking at a corner of the restaurant.

"Sister Fang, what's wrong? Isn't it Yu Dongqing who's also here for dinner?" Ai Tong asked in a low voice, a little puzzled.

Yu Dongqing was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for thinking highly of me, but I have no plans to change jobs yet."

Ai Tong likes to eat this dish the most.

"That's settled. Come on, cheers!" Wei Kai smiled and raised the goblet.

Oops

Did we forget this?

"What should we do? We have to tell Wu Lan." Ai Tong was a little nervous.

"Our Mr. Zhao has said that in the future, the works you create will be treated as general professional works, and you will enjoy a share of the copyright, and the share will be 60% to 40%, and you will have 60% to 40% to the company!"

"Maybe." Wang Fang shook her head.

Ai Tong was taken aback. She immediately thought of something and lowered her voice and said, "Could it be that Yu Dongqing wants to change jobs?"

Ai Tong turned around and found a familiar figure beside the table not far away. It turned out to be Yu Dongqing!

He also comes to eat at this high-end restaurant?

Yu Dongqing didn't realize that someone was still paying attention to him. The meal ended more than an hour later, and Wei Kai went to pay the bill. Of course, he would not pay the money privately, and the company would reimburse him.

Wei Kai said goodbye and left first, watching him get into his BMW and let the driver drive away.

Yu Dongqing was not in a hurry to leave, but stood at the door of the building and asked Zhang Yang: "Brother, you clearly know that I will not leave my job now, why did you let me come over?"

"I can't help it, Wei Kai is so tight." Zhang Yang looked innocent: "We are all friends, what can I say? Anyway, the initiative is in your hands. Do you really want to work in Jinye for the rest of your life?"
