Miramar Hotel, New Wing Shopping Center.

Lu Dongjie, wearing a simple shirt and jeans, was sitting at a French-style roadside cafe on one side of the lobby, with his legs slightly crossed, holding a color-printed fashion magazine in his hand, and flipping through it casually.

Although Lu Dongjie was here for an appointment today, he still came half an hour early. This place was also the cafe chosen by the other party. It is located in a brand new famous commercial plaza. A grand opening ceremony was held last month.

At this time, people were coming and going in the lobby, but on the side of the coffee shop, the environment was very leisurely, with two or three people sitting at the table reading, writing, talking, and passing the time.

"Mr. Lu?"

At this time, there was a shout from behind, Lu Dongjie smiled on his face, and then stood up and turned around. He was a man in his thirties, wearing a fitted suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, quite handsome.

Fansi's elegant atmosphere.

"Sorry for the long wait." The man smiled and nodded to Lu Dongjie.

"Mr. Zheng is a busy man, and he doesn't have free time like me." Lu Dongjie also responded with a smile. He was still a few steps away from him, and first stretched out his hand to shake his hand.

"I'd like a cup of coffee, thank you." Zheng Donghan smiled and gestured to the waitress, then turned to Lu Dongjie and smiled: "Speaking of which, you and I both work in the same circle. Although I am in the record company and you are in the TV station, after all

To me, I can be considered half of my peers.”

"Mr. Zheng is a role model for our generation. I, a newcomer in entertainment, can't even match him." Lu Dongjie smiled and waved his hand.

"Mr. Lu, don't belittle yourself. Times are changing and the market is changing. Today's pop music scene in Hong Kong is just like a world full of reckless people. Those who are capable will eventually succeed. Heroes don't ask where they are born." Zheng Donghan looked at Lu Dongjie meaningfully

said.

"Mr. Zheng really has a unique view, and I, the younger generation, have learned from it." Lu Dongjie nodded in agreement.

The current pop music scene in Hong Kong is not large. There are only a dozen local and international record companies combined. Among them, the largest and most professional are undoubtedly the two international record companies, Polydor Records and EMI Records, followed by

Three Chinese-owned record companies, Entertainment Records, Popular Records and Eternal Records.

This year is an important year for the rise of the Hong Kong music scene, especially after the first Golden Disc Awards Ceremony. Many people in the industry can see that the recording industry in Hong Kong has begun to develop in a formal way. Records such as Warner Records and Sony have

Branch offices will be established in Hong Kong soon, and many companies and individuals will devote themselves to the development of the music scene in Hong Kong and get a share of the next grand event.

"It can be seen from the works circulating on the market that Mr. Lu's creative ability is very admirable, and the quality of his lyrics and music is very high. Over time, I think Mr. Lu will definitely become the backbone of the development of the Hong Kong music scene." Zheng Donghan

He praised Lu Dongjie without hesitation.

"Mr. Zheng is so praised that he cannot deserve it. In fact, to me, most of the works are cultural commodities. How they are manufactured, polished, and packaged are all in accordance with market rules." Lu Dongjie just talked and smiled.

Wave your hands.

Zheng Donghan's evaluation was a bit too strong. It was the first official meeting between the two, but to be able to say this as soon as they met, the thick-skinned Lu Dongjie was a little overwhelmed and did not dare to pick him up. As for him,

I don’t know whether it’s a polite comment or whether I really appreciate it.

Zheng Donghan is the general manager of Polydor Records in Hong Kong and a big figure in the recording industry. He is one of the most influential people in the music scene in Hong Kong. He is definitely not the talker of Polydor Records at the age of 24.

It is rumored that he relies on his connections in the industry and musical talent, and his unique vision and outstanding abilities are indispensable.

If you are an ordinary musician, if you can get such comments from Zheng Donghan, even if you are not smiling, you will be a little complacent in your heart. After all, Zheng Donghan has an unusual status in the circle, and the words he says are still enough.

credibility and persuasiveness.

But Lu Dongjie is different. He is a copycat and pirate dealer disguised as a musician. Although he is engaged in the business of borrowing, he still has moral integrity and a lower limit. He is very clear-headed about all this.

"Frankly speaking, for a talented singer-songwriter like Mr. Lu, it would be a bit of an understatement to only work in a TV station. Have you ever considered signing a contract with a record company?" Zheng Donghan gently stirred the coffee with a silver spoon, looked up at Lu Dongjie, and said,

There was a slight smile on his face.

Here we are, Tu Qiong Ding Jian, no, we are about to get to the point.

"Signed with a record company? Mr. Zheng thinks I am also suitable to be a singer?" Lu Dongjie took a sip of coffee and asked with a smile.

"Of course, your creative talent is enough to make up for your lack of singing, not to mention your appearance is also quite good. If you join a powerful record company, it will not be difficult to become a popular singer." Zheng Donghan said with certainty

typical.

Is his singing ability so disliked by others? Lu Dongjie felt helpless in his heart. Before joining Jiashi, joining Polydor Records would have been a good choice for him, but now he has other plans.

"Mr. Zheng, I actually don't like the career of celebrities, especially living in the spotlight and being criticized by others. Therefore, I am very satisfied with my current job in the TV station and I have no intention of changing my job at the moment.

Plan." Lu Dongjie shook his head slightly and said with a smile.

Zheng Donghan felt a little regretful. He had also investigated some of Lu Dongjie's situation and found out that he was from the police force and had only entered the circle this year. He was curious about and admired the sudden rise of Lu Dongjie. He was also afraid that he would join a rival company.

, so he offered an olive branch to Lu Dongjie first.

"I don't know what will happen tomorrow. Maybe Mr. Lu will change his mind tomorrow. No matter what, it is finally worth it to meet and get to know you today. After all, we are all in the same circle. I hope to have the opportunity in the future.

Thank you for your cooperation." Zheng Donghan smiled and said to Lu Dongjie, planning to end the meeting.

"I wonder if Mr. Zheng is interested in negotiating a cooperation?" Lu Dongjie pretended not to see the waning Zheng Donghan, but instead told him another thing without hesitation.

"Cooperation? What is Mr. Lu referring to?" A strange look flashed in Zheng Donghan's eyes, but he left in no hurry. He looked at Lu Dongjie with interest and asked with a smile.

"I have an English ep?, and I would like to ask if Polydor Records is interested in publishing it on my behalf?" Lu Dongjie took out the demo from his document bag and placed it on the table, looking at Zheng Donghan with a smile on his face.

"Release an English single?" Zheng Donghan couldn't help but frowned. After making sure he heard correctly, he looked at Lu Dongjie with suspicion.

"Well, actually I am referring to global distribution. After all, only you and EMI have this ability in Hong Kong. If possible, I hope to be able to launch it before April 21." Lu Dongjie's face remained unchanged in the face of doubts, and he added

One sentence.

"Mr. Lu, are you kidding me?" Zheng Donghan frowned even deeper after hearing Lu Dongjie's outrageous request. He even wondered if he had misjudged the wrong person. Why did the young man in front of him become so ignorant?

"Mr. Zheng, you can take this demo back and try it out. If you think it's okay, I think I can come to your office tomorrow to discuss cooperation." Lu Dongjie's face was full of confident smile, as if he was afraid that Zheng Donghan would reject him.

.

"Okay, since Mr. Lu is so confident, I will definitely appreciate your works. I hope we will have a pleasant meeting tomorrow." Zheng Donghan returned to his normal smile, stood up and shook hands with Lu Dongjie to say goodbye.

Looking at Zheng Donghan who was still walking calmly as he walked out, Lu Dongjie had a smile on his lips. He was originally considering which record company to find to release this single. Unexpectedly, someone handed him a pillow just as he was about to go to sleep. It would be good to have an agreement, but it was impossible to negotiate.
