Suning feels that his adaptability is really good, which may be attributed to the destruction of the brain-dead system, which always allows him to adapt to new environments as quickly as possible.
The two or three months of student life made Suning feel quite novel. It was much more interesting than the college life in "Qiao's Children's World". After all, in order to support his four younger siblings at that time, Suning kept pushing himself every day.
I feel very tired and lonely.
Suning, who was enjoying campus life leisurely, saw an unexpected guest, "Suning, long time no see!"
"Haha, Mr. Liu is here!
Is there something else going on?"
"Haha, I really don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything!
I came here specifically to ask for your help this time!"
"Asking for help? Or to me?"
Suning felt a little surprised. After all, Mr. Liu in front of him was the boss of Warner Records, and he was just an ordinary student.
"Suning, we have now entered the end of 2002.
However, Warner Music's performance in Greater China has declined severely this year.
As a boss, I will definitely bear the brunt of being held accountable by my superiors!
Therefore, I would like to ask you for a few songs to hit the market at the end of the year."
"Eh? Mr. Liu, pardon me!
You, Warner Music Group, have a huge business, but what kind of songs can’t you find?
What kind of singer can’t be found?
Even your own music library is unimaginable to ordinary people!
Why would you sacrifice the near and seek the far away!"
"Suning, you are right!
We at Warner Music Group are indeed a big business!
But it’s because of the big business that makes it difficult to innovate.
And your song "Mouse Loves Rice" has become popular all over the country, so we can only put our treasure on you!"
"Haha, you are trying to rely on me to win by surprise!
But do you have so much confidence in me?
After all, I am just an ordinary student at Nortel."
"Suning, don't be so humble!
With your singing skills, it would be difficult for even our Warner Music singers to reach your level!"
"Haha, it's the first time I've been complimented like this!
You are still a beautiful professional elite, why do I feel so ecstatic!"
"Huh?" When Mr. Liu, who was in his early forties, heard Suning's joke, he suddenly felt like he was being teased and felt a little embarrassed unconsciously.
"Mr. Liu, let me tell you the truth!
I did write two songs recently, and I can give them to Warner Records for release!
But you have to agree to two conditions!"
"Ah? How's your singing level?
Can it reach the level of "Mouse Loves Rice"?" Mr. Liu was originally treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise.
"Huh? Mr. Liu, do you think I can only be as good as "Mouse Loves Rice"?"
"Haha, of course not!"
"Mr. Liu, I can guarantee that the level of these two songs is no lower than "Mouse Loves Rice"!
But you have to help me get the Chinese adaptation rights of Nippon Ohashi Takuya’s "Thank You"!"
"Haha, this is no problem!
Is your new song based on Ohashi Takuya's "Thank You"?" Mr. Liu suddenly had a guess in his mind.
"Haha, there are some lessons!
However, Mr. Liu, I still want to remind you.
Daqiao Zhuo Mi is very difficult to deal with, so don’t be careless and lose Jingzhou!"
"Eh? Don't worry!
We at Warner Records have also cooperated with Ohashi Takumi, so there should be no problem!"
After receiving Suning's reminder, Mr. Liu then remembered how strict and difficult Ohashi Takumi was, and unconsciously felt a little guilty. But facing Suning in front of her, she had to forcefully give her a guarantee.
"Haha, that's good!" Seeing Mr. Liu's harsh words, Suning just smiled indifferently.
"The second requirement is that the share of the song must be 35%!"
"This...can!
Just can you let me see the quality of the two songs first?"
"What? Mr. Liu, you don't believe me?"
"Huh? How could that happen!
If I don’t believe you, why would I come here to ask you for a song!”
"Well! Let's do this!
When you get the copyright of Ohashi Takuya's "Thank You", I will give you the demo of the song!"
"Eh? Okay!" Looking at Suning who was so defensive, Mr. Liu also felt a little helpless.
After Mr. Liu left Nortel, Suning smiled silently, because Warner was destined to return without success, because Ohashi Takuya was too strict, and any adapted lyrics must be approved by him, and the specific decision is up to him.
In the hands of an individual, doesn’t it mean that he is unwilling to authorize it?
Sure enough, it was not beyond Suning's expectation. On the third day after negotiating with him at Nortel, Mr. Liu ran over angrily and lamented that Ohashi Takumi was so difficult to deal with.
The reason why Suning asked Mr. Liu to go through a lot of trouble was that he didn't want to be too constrained by capital. At the very least, he wanted to let Warner Records know that they were not omnipotent and would not treat themselves unscrupulously in the future.
"Haha, Mr. Liu!
If one of my two conditions is not fulfilled, how are Warner Records going to make it up to me?"
"Eh? Suning, don't worry!
Warner will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"
"Well! I do believe that!
So be it!
I will give you the demos of two songs first, and you can think about how to distribute them."
Suning achieved his goal and simply handed the lyrics and music he wrote along with the song demo to Mr. Liu, and then handed over the most troublesome distribution to Warner Records.
Mr. Liu happily took over the lyrics, music and demo, and couldn't help but read it carefully. As the head of a music company, his musical ability is absolutely outstanding, and he quickly realized that these two songs were hits.
"Suning, have you ever thought about becoming a singer for our Warner Records?
The conditions and treatment will definitely satisfy you!”
"Mr. Liu, thank you for your appreciation of me!
It's just that I have a lazy temperament, and when I get excited, one or two songs may come out of my hands.
But I can’t do it if I want to live on this for the rest of my life!”
"Uh? What a pity!
With your talent and your singing skills, it would be a shame not to pursue music!"
"Haha, isn't the purpose of life just to have fun?
Why make yourself so tired!"
Mr. Liu and Suning were from two different worlds, with completely different ways of thinking. Seeing Suning who was so hopeless, Mr. Liu really couldn't agree with him and could only helplessly shake his head.
...
Everyone at Warner Records knew that Mr. Liu was going out to ask for hit songs, and they understood that she was under a lot of pressure, but they disagreed with her temporary behavior.
According to the general rules and regulations, lyrics, music and demos should be screened through layers of screening before being sent to Warner Music bigwigs like them for evaluation.
But Mr. Liu didn't know how to think about it. He skipped many procedures and called them directly into the recording studio. This way of breaking the rules made the music masters very unhappy. They thought it was a kind of contempt for them.
And they even sneered at Suning's hit song "Mouse Loves Rice". No matter how popular it was in the streets, it still couldn't change the fact that "Mouse Loves Rice" was just a vulgar song!
When the three Warner Records royal musicians came to the recording studio, they saw that almost all the Warner Records executives were there. They looked at each other in surprise, but when they saw the "human-looking" Suning in the recording studio, they
They didn't know why they just felt so unhappy.
"Haha, all the leaders are here!"
"Teachers, please take a seat! It will start soon!" Mr. Liu looked at the three musicians who were late and still couldn't bear the temper of playing music.
After the three musicians sat down, the sound engineer and Suning in the recording studio were also ready, and then Suning started recording his own songs.
【Always asking for things from you but never saying thank you】
[It’s not easy to understand you until I grow up]
[I always pretend to be relaxed every time I leave]
[Smile and say go back and turn around with tears in your eyes]
[I wish I could hold your warm hand like before]
[But you are not by my side, asking the breeze to carry you to health]
【Slow down time and don’t let it make you grow older】
【I am willing to use me to change your years to last forever】
【What can I do for you, a strong father in your life】
[Just accept the trivial concern]
...
As soon as the prelude of "Father" started, the Warner executives and musicians outside the recording studio were all stunned. They were quickly immersed in the melody of the beautiful music. When the five-minute song was recorded, everyone who woke up suddenly
Only then did he realize that he was crying.
"Mr. Liu, you are great!
To discover such an outstanding musical genius!
Whether it’s singing skills or artistic conception of lyrics and music, they are all rare masterpieces!”
"Yes! After listening to this song, I suddenly thought of my deceased father. It is such a heavenly sound that goes straight to the bottom of my heart."
Mr. Liu was soon surrounded by compliments. Mr. Liu, who had already seen big storms, just smiled indifferently, and then asked everyone to look at Suning in the recording studio again.
At this time, everyone realized that Suning was still in the recording studio. They soon learned that there was a second song to be recorded. After some preparations, the recording of the second song also started.
[That is the person I miss and love deeply day and night]
【How should I express it】
【Will she accept me】
[Maybe I will never say that to her]
【I am destined to wander the world】
【How can I be concerned】
【Dreams are always out of reach】
[Should I give up?]
[Flowers bloom and fall, another season begins]
【Spring, where are you】
【Youth is like a flowing river】
[If you leave without coming back, you won’t have time to say goodbye]
...
"Ah? This seems to be an adaptation of Nihon Ohashi Takuya's "Thank You"!"
"Yes! It's the Chinese song "Old Boy" adapted from "Thank You"!"
"Oh? Could it be that the last time Mr. Liu contacted the Japanese company was just for the copyright of the song "Thank You"?"
"Yes! Alas! It's a pity that Ohashi Takuya was unwilling to authorize it and deliberately set up many obstacles!"
"Such a touching song reaches the heart of ordinary middle-aged people. It would be a pity if it cannot be released without authorization!"
“So, I’m going to go to Japan myself!
We must convince Takumi Ohashi to get the Chinese copyright of "Thank You"!" At this time, Mr. Liu explained firmly.
"Well! Mr. Liu, feel free to go to Japan!
You can rest assured that I am at home!" A vice president assured Mr. Liu with a smile.
"Okay! I will try my best to come back!
Mr. Chen, I’ve worked hard on you these past few days!”
"Mr. Liu, should these two songs be released now, or should they wait until you come back from Japan?"
"This...I asked for these two songs to boost the company's sluggish performance in 2002!
So I decided to release it now!"
"Huh? But what about the copyright issue?
How about temporarily suppressing "Old Boy" for a while and releasing the song "Father" first?"
"No! The worst thing is that you should make it clear in advance that "Oldboy" is adapted from "Thank You"!
Let’s give him Ohashi Takumi some raw rice and cooked rice!”
"Eh? Okay!" Seeing Mr. Liu's determination, Warner's leaders nodded in agreement.
Regarding the discussion of Warner Records, Suning did not participate in it. After all, he is still a free man and does not need to worry about the operation of Warner Records.
...
Suning left Warner Records and drove directly to his residence because today was the weekend and there was no need to go to school.
At a traffic light intersection, while waiting for the red light, Suning looked out the window at the bustling crowd and felt that there was a vibrant scene everywhere.
This kind of scene will be difficult to see in later generations. After all, the physical industry has gradually declined under the dual pressure of online shopping and the epidemic. The streets and alleys are filled with a few hurried pedestrians.
Listening to the shops on both sides of the street playing his own song "Mouse Loves Rice", Suning just smiled silently. If he shouted loudly to the crowd outside now, I would be the singer who sang "Mouse Loves Rice"
, maybe no one will believe it.
This is what everyone often hears about the fact that people who are famous in music are not popular. Other singers may think this is an embarrassment, but for Suning, it is a dream come true. After all, she does not like to be exposed under the neon lights.
Soon the red light at the intersection turned into green. Suning started the car and drove along with the traffic in front. When he passed a bus stop, he saw a familiar figure.
The other party may have also seen her car, and she had been dodging there. Suning parked the car next to her in a funny way, and then looked through the car window.
"Jiang Yan, get in the car!"
Upon hearing Suning's invitation, Jiang Yan blushed like a ripe apple, wore a bloated down jacket, pulled away Suning's car, and sat in the passenger seat.
"Haha, where to go?"
"Front...front!"
"Haha, the front covers a lot of places!
There could be a department store in front!
It can also be the suburbs of Beijing!
Of course it can also be my house..." Suning teased Jiang Yan meaningfully.
Seeing Jiang Yan not responding at all, just blushing and lowering her head, Suning understood everything and drove directly back to Beiyuan home.
Parking the car in the garage, Suning took Jiang Yan's hand domineeringly, then took the elevator and rushed to his home.
But as soon as she entered the elevator, Suning couldn't help but hugged Jiang Yan in her arms. It wasn't until the elevator reached the twelfth floor that Suning let go of the stiff Jiang Yan, opened her door and walked in.
As soon as the two people who walked into the house closed the door, a fire broke out in the room...
After a long, long time, it was already late at night outside. Jiang Yan lay limply on Suning. At this time, Suning suddenly said, "Jiang Yan, how about you be my girlfriend?"
"ah?"
"You...don't want to?"
"No! It's just..."
Jiang Yan didn't say anything out loud, and I believe Suning also understood her concerns. After all, the marriage between the two was a mistake from the beginning.
"Jiang Yan, I know what you are worried about!
I am not a person who cannot tolerate your past, I only want your future!"
"Suning, are you serious?"
"Haha, I really need a girlfriend!
You should know this best!"
"Ah? You...you are so bad!" Jiang Yan thought of Suning's strong "physique" and of course understood what Suning meant.
