Chapter 282 The next goal, 50 million Hong Kong dollars
In Wan Chai District, on the road of Hennessy Road, vehicles are constantly passing by.?
Old-fashioned taxis and young girls make up this most prosperous street in Hong Kong Island during the busiest time of the day.
"One hundred songs, all of them will be the hit songs in the next thirty years. Emperor Entertainment has made a huge profit this time." After getting out of the taxi, Wu Ming looked up at the tall buildings around him without looking back.
Wang Yunxi said.
Wang Yunxi was wearing business attire, standard black stockings and high heels, holding a black handbag in her hand, with a smile on her face: "It's okay, both sides get what they want, if I hadn't given up my right to sign,
, they won’t agree so quickly.”
One million in 1983 was not that easy to earn.
Two thousand years after being laid down, hit song songwriters come forward. A title song may cost millions, specially created for celebrities.
But thirty years ago, big names like Huang Zhan could only earn tens of thousands of yuan per song.
As a fledgling newcomer, Wang Yunxi is not well-known in Hong Kong Island at all, as if she jumped out of a stone. If the songs were not really good, and a profit-making company like Emperor Entertainment would not even let you in, let alone
Don't talk about 10,000 yuan per song.
"Wang Yunxi, how do you deal with Emperor Entertainment? Submit articles to them, or write letters?" Wu Ming walked a few hundred meters and stood under the Emperor Entertainment building, looking at the people passing by, and asked Wang Yunxi.
Wang Yunxi shook her head gently, glanced at Wu Ming next to her with an amateurish look, and whispered: "You have never played music and don't understand the rules. In fact, it doesn't mean that your songs are good.
It will definitely be picked up. For example, Emperor Entertainment receives almost 100,000 lyrics from Hong Kong Island every year.
On average, hundreds of people who dream of becoming composers write lyrics and mail them here every day. Most of these people are ordinary people, and they even come here just on a whim after writing songs.
Under normal circumstances, the reviewing editor will look at your name first. If you are not famous at all, your lyrics may be suppressed for several months and no one will see them. To be honest, a big company like this will not
There is no shortage of good songs. If you try to attract the attention of these people by writing letters or making phone calls, it may not work for several months. So, my method is more direct, or more brutal."
"Rough, what did you do?"
Wu Ming asked curiously, only to see Wang Yunxi smile mysteriously, and said with a smile: "I took out ten songs, hired resident singers from ten bars, and sang here for three days."
"Pfft..." Wu Ming laughed out loud when he heard this method.
Blocking the door of the record company, finding ten wandering singers, and singing ten songs for three days in a row is almost as good as a concert.
One can imagine how lively and joyful the entrance to Emperor Entertainment was at that time.
It is estimated that everyone from the top management of the company to the janitor aunt can sing by themselves and hum a few words when they have nothing to do.
"Didn't they call the police if you did this?" Wu Ming asked maliciously, suppressing a smile.
Wang Yunxi raised her head slightly, with a look of pride on her face, and replied: "Before calling the police, a supervisor found me and asked about the origin of these songs. I volunteered myself, with thunderous momentum, and finally used my actions to get
recognized by these people.”
Whether a song is good or not, apart from the lyrics, the melody is the most important.
There is a saying that what comes out on paper is ultimately shallow. When the literal lyrics are sung, it is another feeling.
A Chinese version, Slow Rocking Ice Age.
A brainwashing song, Little Apple by Chopstick Brothers.
From the first day, people on the street were mesmerized. The reason why brainwashing songs are brainwashing songs is because their melodies are very close.
As long as you listen to it once, you will be able to hum along the next time. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is national entertainment.
You don’t even have to memorize it, it just comes naturally. It feels like water is gathering together. It’s even more frightening when you think about it carefully.
One can imagine how terrifying the scene would be when everyone hummed along after listening to Little Apple.
It is no exaggeration to say that when a record company executive sees his subordinates humming along without being able to help themselves, if he is not touched at all, he is not suitable for his position in the record company.
Eighty percent of the time, it was through nepotism.
"I didn't realize that you were so good at these tricks!" Under the sidelong gaze of the security guard at the door, Wu Ming pushed open the door of Emperor Entertainment and walked in with Wang Yunxi.
Wang Yunxi had a slight smile on her face. Why do rebirth novels endure so long? It’s because knowing the future is really unbelievable.
If you give her time, she can take root in this world and run a good business for decades.
Easily, you can't become a multi-millionaire. If you don't do it well, you can become a billionaire by accident.
As for billions and tens of billions, it's hard to say, because you don't have to work hard to reach that level.
"Ms. Wang, can you wait?"
As soon as they entered the gate of Emperor Entertainment, a call came from behind them.
Wu Ming and Wang Yunxi looked back and saw a man who looked exactly like Liu Dehua, striding from behind with joy on his face.
"Who are you?"
Wang Yunxi stopped and looked at this handsome guy who looked exactly like Liu Dehua, doubts flashed in his eyes.
A handsome guy who looked exactly like Andy Lau quickly ran up and said hurriedly: "Miss Wang, I am Andy Lau, the one who plays the Condor Heroes. Can I take a few minutes of your time?"
"Are you really Andy Lau?"
Wang Yunxi looked at the young man up and down with doubts in her eyes.
It seems that in the end, this young man who calls himself Andy Lau, apart from looking too young, really has the look of Andy Lau thirty years from now, and does not look like a fake.
"Sister Wang, I am really Liu Dehua. This year I also starred in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, in which I played Yang Guo." Liu Dehua had a smile on his face, and his childish face had a hint of pride.
82 graduated from TVB training class with perfect grades.
In the same year, he made his debut in Falcon, and in the second year, he officially became famous on Hong Kong Island with The Condor Heroes.
This year, Andy Lau has officially entered thousands of families on Hong Kong Island. It means that he has not been known for ten years, and he is famous all over the world.
"Isn't the movie we entered a provincial and Hong Kong flag soldier? Why did Andy Lau appear? Is there any mistake?" After confirming that the person in front of her was the young Andy Lau, Wang Yunxi had a sense of déjà vu that was confusing time and space.
It's obviously a movie world, but other unrelated people still keep appearing.
It's hard to say whether the world here is real or fake, because the protagonist in Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers is also a flower here.
Everyone is still performing their role according to the real trajectory, and it is not just a background wall.
"Miss Wang, Miss Wang?" Seeing Wang Yunxi stunned, Liu Dehua couldn't help but stretched out his hand and shook it.
After being shaken a few times, Wang Yunxi finally came back to her senses and said, "Brother Dehua, what did you just say?"
"Ms. Wang, it's like this. The day before yesterday, when I was passing by Wan Chai, I happened to see you directing people to sing a song called Destiny in the Afterlife. After I went back, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that that song was really suitable for me.
So, I want to ask, can you sell me that song?" Liu Dehua's face was full of frustrations, and he looked at Wang Yunxi expectantly.
Wang Yunxi was a little embarrassed to be seen, but more importantly, she was embarrassed.
In this next life, it was actually Andy Lau who made her famous song in 1991. She was the real thief.
Of course, it's only 1983 now, and Liu Dehua has not been reborn, so of course he doesn't know the twists and turns here.
"Hua Zai, do you have any thoughts of leaving TVB?" After the embarrassment, Wang Yunxi put on a more serious tone.
Hearing this, Liu Dehua's eyes moved slightly and his brows furrowed: "Why do you say that?"
After filming The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the TVB Five were dissatisfied with their treatment and competed with TVB. This has already been exposed in later generations.
But things are different now. Although the Five Wireless Tigers of this period may have had such an idea, they have not yet taken action.
For example, it will take another four months before Liu Dehua refuses to renew his contract and is kept in the cold for 400 days.
At this time, even the Five Tigers themselves were secretly thinking about how to take the future. Liu Dehua didn't suddenly change his color when his heart was revealed. It was already a good acting skill. As for whether he had a guilty conscience in his heart, this outsider didn't know.
.
"TV is just a small screen. Even if you don't have acting skills, you can pile up episodes one by one and bring out the characters' personalities. However, as times progress, the big screen of movies will eventually occupy more positions. With your talent,
The best choice is to focus on both the music industry and film and television." Wang Yunxi lectured the 22-year-old Liu Dehua in the tone of an experienced person.
After saying that, Wang Yunxi laughed herself, patted Hua Zai on the shoulder, and said teasingly: "The fate of the next life will be given to you in the future. Young man, my sister is optimistic about your future!"
"Uh..." Liu Dehua scratched his head in embarrassment and watched Wu Ming and Wang Yunxi leave.
When he got on the elevator, Wu Mingcai turned his head slightly and asked Wang Yunxi, who was giggling: "How about teasing the future emperor and superstar? It should be a sense of accomplishment, right?"
"Of course. When I was at the Conservatory of Music, my tutor organized male students to learn Liu Tianwang's music and singing skills. Now that I have seen him in real life, and he is still just debuting, it would be a pity not to tease him.
." Wang Yunxi's face was full of excitement. Compared with her previous pretense of calmness, she is now her true self.
However, at this time, Liu Dehua had just debuted for two years and did not yet have a king-level net worth.
If she wasn't afraid that she would scare the other person if she was too enthusiastic, Wang Yunxi would really want to go up and give her a hug. It would be better to be a female gangster for once.
Looking at Wang Yunxi's reaction, Wu Ming shook his head slightly and sighed: "I really admire you. If you stay in the main god space for a long time in the future, there will be a lot of things like today. If you travel to a few more worlds, you will be like a star.
I am immune, and Andy has not acted in many films of his ability, so his chances of encountering him in the future are not high."
"Ding!"
The elevator stopped at the 22nd floor and sounded a crisp prompt.
Glancing at the opened elevator door, Wang Yunxi stepped on her high heels, twisted her waist and walked out, smiling seductively: "Huh, I've decided, I'll give Hua Zai a call as soon as I finish signing the contract.
In this world, I want to eat more meat and eat more bites of fresh meat."
"No, are you serious?" Wu Ming raised his legs and walked out, with surprise on his face.
Wang Yunxi turned back slightly, made a fist gesture, and whispered: "Don't tell me that you have never lusted after female celebrities. In fact, men and women are the same. When you care about lusting after Zhu Yin and Liu Yifei, we are also discussing male celebrities.
Yes, everyone understands it tacitly!"
After hearing such a direct statement, Wu Ming didn't know what to say.
In this world, in addition to female men, there is also the special profession of female gangsters.
Judging from this, Wang Yunxi's career template is probably close to that of a female gangster, and she is very likely to become the queen of whips.
"Ms. Wang, the lawyer you called is in the manager's office, and the contract and cash are ready."
Under the leadership of a female secretary, Wu and Ming came to the manager's office.
In fact, what should be discussed before has been settled these days. All that remains is to sign the contract and pay the money.
When we arrived at the office, a manager wearing gold-rimmed glasses was chatting and laughing with a man dressed as a lawyer holding a briefcase.
Seeing Wu Ming and Wu Ming come in, Manager Zhao and Lawyer Xu stopped laughing and stood up from the sand.
"Ms. Wang, our contract and cash are all ready. Now, all we need is your signature, and the money is yours." On Manager Zhao's desk, there was a two-point contract and a stack of banknotes.
Wu Ming glanced slightly and found that the banknotes on the table were all in denominations of one thousand Hong Kong dollars.
One thousand Hong Kong dollars, one stack is one hundred thousand, and ten stacks are one million.
Wang Yunxi nodded to Wu Ming and signaled Wu Ming to count some cash, while she picked up the two-point contract.
"Lawyer Xu, is there anything wrong with the contract?" She read one copy, and Wang Yunxi picked up the other and handed it to Lawyer Xu who was standing aside.
Lawyer Xu, who was probably in his forties, held a magnifying glass in his hand and carefully checked the contract.
After about ten minutes, after reading the two-page contract three times, Lawyer Xu nodded: "No problem, I guarantee this with the largest law firm in Hong Kong and my own twenty years of experience as a lawyer.
The two contracts are true and valid and do not contain any loopholes."
"Is the money right?" Seeing that there was no problem with the contract, Wang Yunxi asked Wu Ming again.
Wu Ming stacked ten stacks of banknotes together, flicked them twice with his fingers, nodded and said: "One million, no problem, no counterfeit money."
"Ms. Wang, if you have no objections, you can sign the contract."
"Ok, wish us a happy cooperation."
Wang Yunxi took out a signature pen, wrote her name on the contract, and signed the authorization letter for Baige.
Later, Manager Zhao took out the official seal of Emperor Entertainment, and Lawyer Xu took out the official seal of the law firm, and stamped their stamps on the contract.
At this point, the two contracts have officially come into effect, with one hundred songs going to Emperor Entertainment and one million Hong Kong dollars going to Wang Yunxi personally. Each party gets what they need.
"Ms. Wang, the directors of the company have entrusted me to issue you an invitation letter to the annual meeting on behalf of Emperor Entertainment's audio and video department. If you have time, we can communicate more. Our company welcomes talented composers like you.
"After signing the contract, Manager Zhao took out an invitation letter and handed it to Wang Yunxi.
Wang Yunxi smiled, neither agreed nor refused, and accepted the invitation perfunctorily.
Seeing Wang Yunxi's reaction, Manager Zhao sighed and said nothing more.
He didn't know that people like Wu Ming would leave in more than ten days. They were only as arrogant as Wang Yunxi and were not easy to get along with.
"Let's go, it's over!" Taking the money, Wang Yunxi greeted Wu Ming and left Emperor Entertainment together.
For the former, if they get one million from selling songs, they just have to wait for their return.
But for Wu Ming, one million is just the beginning, and the next 50 million is the bulk.
“I don’t know if the next 50 million Hong Kong dollars will be that easy to get!”
Standing on the street, Wu Ming looked at the busy traffic in front of him and took a deep breath.
The next goal is to sell all the jewelry and take home 50 million Hong Kong dollars. (To be continued.)
