Chapter 345 The idea of ??a new album
"Dong dong dong!"
In the room, Men Jie had just finished a day's filming of the movie "Kung Fu". Men Jie was resting comfortably when a few rhythmic knocks suddenly came from the door, which was not the usual rhythm of Zhao Dong's knocks.
"Who!"
Menjie shouted helplessly in the room, and Menjie, who was lazily nestled on the sofa like a cat, dragged his tired body to put on his shoes and went to the floor, ready to open the door.
Because the crew of the movie "The Myth" had not been filming for more than a month, Menjie had accumulated a large number of scenes, and basically all of them were concentrated in this period of more than a month.
, the working hours every day are naturally very long.
Whenever he left the crew and returned to the hotel to rest, Menjie would be very tired. Even if Zhao Dong knocked on the door, Menjie would not go over and open the door.
Of course, Zhao Dong is also very aware of Menjie's mental state at this time of day. He will never come to disturb Menjie unless something really happens.
"Um?"
After opening the door and seeing the person, Menjie's eyes widened immediately, and he felt a sense of disbelief. The fatigue all over his body disappeared in an instant, and he said in shock, "Sister Mei, why are you here?!"
Obviously, the person who came was Mei Mei, who was in charge of Menjie’s artist management among the Huayi brothers in the company!
"There is another big star in our company, how could I not come and take a look?!"
Seeing Menjie's extremely surprised look, Mei Mei couldn't help but chuckle and said with a smile, "What? Aren't you going to invite me in to sit down?"
"No, no, sister Mei, come in and sit down quickly!"
Menjie, who was awakened by Mei Mei's teasing, finally came to his senses, quickly got out of the way, and very enthusiastically invited Mei Mei into the house.
"Menjie, I didn't expect that the sales of the new album were so popular. Now many senior executives in the company will praise you when we meet!"
Sitting on the sofa, drinking what Menjie poured for her, Mei Mei looked at Menjie with a rather strange look, and couldn't help but whisper.
A few days ago, Menjie's second solo album "In My Singing" was less than an hour away from being released. The album sales of 2.48 million have already shocked all the senior executives of Huayi Brothers. However,
Next, in the last half hour, Menjie's performance unexpectedly climbed again, with sales increasing by more than 300,000, to close to 400,000, reaching a terrifying 2.86 million in one fell swoop. After that, all the company's top management, collectively
Shocked!
Originally, in the eyes of the senior executives of Huayi Brothers, the company's main profit-making direction was in film and television, while the music aspect was just a department that did not make a lot of profits, and was not highly valued by the company's senior executives.
Even if they are valued, probably only the two first-class singers signed with Huayi Brothers, the company's mainstay, the powerful male group Yuquan, and the male singer Huang Zheng, are valued by Huayi Brothers.
After all, as the two biggest names under Huayi Brothers Music Company, they are also artists who can earn a lot of money for the company. Naturally, they should be treated with caution to deepen their identification with the company and continue to stay in the company.
Originally, at the very beginning, it was proposed by some senior executives and finally passed due to a strange combination of circumstances, regarding the proposal to keep Menjie but increase the share of the contract between Menjie and the company. At that time,
, there is already a small group of senior officials who rank Men Jie behind Yuquan and Huang Zheng.
He can be regarded as the third person in Huayi Brothers Music Company. He has great potential, but in a short period of time, he cannot catch up with the status of the previous three people. After all, potential is not strength.
However, the final sales of the second solo album "In My Singing" made everyone in the Huayi Brothers see clearly what terrifying potential and strength Menjie has. It was only more than a year after his debut.
It has already surpassed countless predecessors, with album sales of 2.86 million, announcing who the most shining singer in the mainland was in the first half of 2005!
Such achievements are not inferior to those of Yuquan and Huang Zheng among the Huayi brothers, and even compared to many other kings and queens!
What is Menjie's strength and what kind of coincidence is the success of this album? In the eyes of Huayi Brothers' senior executives, they are not the most important. In their eyes, the most important thing is that they can make money for them and earn enough.
of wealth!
Therefore, in the eyes of about one-third of the senior executives of the Huayi Brothers, Menjie’s existence has surpassed the Yuquan Group and Huang Zheng as the ‘first brother’ in music!
Of course, some people think that the success of Menjie's album is due to many accidental factors, but it also proves Menjie's strong potential and strength. They are very optimistic about Menjie and feel that Menjie's status is enough to compete with Yuquan.
The combination is comparable!
Of course, there are a small number of stubborn guys at the end who feel that this is just Menjie's second solo album, and it doesn't mean anything. It's just that Menjie happened to write two good songs. In terms of status, it's not as good as
Yuquan Group, unless Menjie can produce an album with extremely high sales next year, he can prove himself.
But no matter who it is, in their hearts, Menjie has been listed as the second person in Huayi Brothers Music Company, surpassing Huang Zheng and second only to Yuquan Group!
Moreover, compared to the Yuquan group, Menjie is younger and has greater potential. In terms of training value, it still exceeds the Yuquan group.
It was precisely for this reason that when something happened today, Mei Mei chose to come to Menjie in person instead of simply giving orders to Menjie over the phone.
"By the way, do you have any new songs released recently? You don't know, many senior executives in the company are testing me recently. First, they want to know from me whether you have any good songs released and what the quality of the album will be like next year.
, there are still a few people who want to ask you if you can release one more album this year!"
While chatting, Mei Mei began to vent her bitterness to Menjie.
It is true that due to the high sales of Menjie's albums, the status of Menjie, Zhao Dong and Mei Mei in the company has skyrocketed, but at the same time, a lot of troubles have arisen.
Men Jie and Zhao Dong were not in the company, so they naturally couldn't understand it, but Mei Mei had always worked in the company and was relatively close to Men Jie, so she naturally became the target of many company executives' tests.
"Sister Mei, I regret it so much now. If I had known better, I wouldn't have put all the good songs I wrote last year into the album "In My Singing Voice". As a result, I don't even have a single song on my hands now!"
"
With a wry smile, Menjie complained bitterly to Mei Mei, "Not to mention releasing another album this year, even if it's in the contract, I don't have a clue about next year's album right now. You know, writing
Songs need inspiration. If there is no inspiration all the time, I feel that my new album may not be so good next year!"
It is true that Menjie doesn't even have a new song at hand, but when facing Mei Mei who is in Huayi Brothers, Menjie is somewhat suspected of lying.
Menjie will not waste his time to release another album at the end of the year. If he has this time, it would be better to film a film and television work and hone his acting skills. However, Menjie has already planned a new album at this time next year.
Already have an idea.
With his first solo album "Fairy Tale", Menjie let many people know that there is a new singer who can sing love songs very well.
With his second solo album "In My Singing", Menjie has already won the title of "Little Prince of Love Songs" and has firmly established this title. He is a well-deserved Little Prince of Love Songs.
But next, Menjie's third solo album, although the songs have not yet been redeemed through the King system, Menjie has already firmed up his mind and is preparing to create a 'Little King of Love Songs' with his next album.
title!
Although I felt that at that time I was still a long way from being a king, I could still achieve it by becoming a very famous member of the Chinese music scene in terms of love songs.
There is no need for inspiration at all. You just need to carefully select a few good songs from the King system some time before recording the album. It is very simple.
The reason why Menjie said this was just because he was worried that after learning that he had written one or two songs, the Huayi Brothers would help him include a few more good songs and ask him to release another album.
Although Menjie has the right to refuse, he does not want to have a dispute with the company. After all, he still needs to rely on Huayi Brothers' distribution channels to help him achieve greater success in the music world.
Therefore, I can only have reservations about Mei Mei.
"It's okay, don't worry!"
However, after hearing Menjie's words, Mei Mei really thought that Menjie had no inspiration and had not written a good song. She was anxious and quickly comforted her.
"I also know that writing songs requires inspiration. Don't worry. If you have inspiration, write it. If you don't have inspiration, don't write it. The company is very enthusiastic about you now and is actively collecting songs for you and preparing to let you in.
Next year, we will be able to achieve even better results!”
"And I also heard that the company has spent a huge amount of money this time to prepare a new album for you. Even if you can't come up with good songs, the company will find a way for you, so don't worry.
!”
"Okay, I'm relieved if Sister Mei says this!"
Menjie nodded, and he was really looking forward to the songs that the company had collected for him. At the same time, Menjie also felt a little guilty about his concealment of Mei Mei and Mei Mei's enthusiasm and care for him, so he quickly changed the subject.
As if something suddenly occurred to her, she hurriedly asked Mei Mei.
"By the way, Sister Mei, why did you come here to see me today? Don't tell me, just to praise the performance of my new album!" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature for better updates of the novel.
