After the eighth day of the first lunar month, companies of all sizes in the capital have begun operations.
Feishi Records is of course no exception. However, there is still a "Celebrate the Spring Festival" banner hanging on the porch on the ground floor of the building, a row of long red lanterns still exuding the joy of the New Year, and the residual red from the firecrackers that opened the door remains on the ground.
Lu Chen and Filia Chen arrived together, and Lin Zhijie and a vice president of Feishi Records personally greeted them at the door.
Such courtesy made Lu Chen secretly feel strange.
He, Filia Chen and Lin Zhijie are friends. They often interact with each other and are familiar with each other, and they come to Feishi Records more than once or twice. Even if Lu Chen's status has improved a lot, there is no need for such a formal ceremony, right?
Do you have to ask for something from others when you are polite?
Lu Chen thought to himself and asked with a smile: "Brother Lin, why are you so polite? I'll be embarrassed to come next time!"
Filia Chen also smiled and said: "Yes, Brother Lin is too outspoken."
Lin Zhijie laughed and said: "You're welcome, you're welcome. You two are the first distinguished guests to come to our door this year. Of course, it needs to be grand. I haven't congratulated Lu Chen for winning the Best Newcomer and Best Composer awards. I haven't really done that now.
What a shame!”
As the music director of Flying Stone Records, Lin Zhijie is certainly qualified to attend the [Asian Chinese Golden Songs Chart] award ceremony, but he just returned from abroad yesterday, so he was unable to catch the party.
Of course, it's not too late to send congratulations now.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Thank you."
The group of people chatted and laughed and came to the conference room of Feishi Records.
Because Filia Chen had already notified them in advance, Feishi had already made preparations. Many key members of the record company were already sitting in the conference room. The LCD TV on the wall also displayed "Filia Chen's new news".
The words "Seminar on the Production of the Album "Woman Flower"".
Seeing Lu Chen, Filia Chen and others come in, these Feishi Records elites stood up to say hello.
Flying Stone Records attaches great importance to Filia Chen's transformational work and strives to get off to a good start in 2016. Therefore, it has established a capable team headed by Lin Zhijie to be responsible for the production and release of the new album.
"Female Flower" is the name of the new album. This song is tailor-made by Lu Chen for Filia Chen. It is also the title song of the album. According to the plan, the MV will be shot next week for pre-heating.
Today's small meeting is to discuss album production, promotion, etc. Because Filia Chen has her own independent studio and the new album is outsourced to Feishi Records, there must be many cooperation issues.
In addition, Lu Chen joined the team, which required coordination in all aspects.
In addition to Lu Chen, Filia Chen, and Lin Zhijie, those attending the meeting also included producers, songwriters, arrangers, recording studios, publicists, etc. from Feishi Records.
The meeting lasted for almost two hours and ended in a friendly and warm atmosphere.
Lu Chen doesn't speak much, but no one dares to ignore his presence. He is responsible for the creation of half of the album alone, and is also responsible for co-arranging and producing, which is even more important than Lin Zhijie.
After the meeting, Lin Zhijie took Lu Chen and Filia Chen to his office.
The music director of Flying Stone Records personally brewed coffee for the two of them.
The coffee he used was excellent, with a rich and mellow taste. The strange thing was that it didn't have much bitterness, and it tasted very smooth.
Even though Lu Chen was not an expert at tasting coffee, he could still taste the difference in it.
In comparison, Filia Chen was more knowledgeable. After taking a few sips, she was quite moved: "Brother Lin, is this the authentic Blue Mountain coffee?"
Lin Zhijie smiled and said, "Yes, the Blue Mountain coffee I just brought back from Japan is only two pounds. If you like it, take one pound back with you when you leave."
Blue Mountain Coffee is one of the best coffees in the world, but it is also the most counterfeited coffee brand. It is as bad as pearl milk tea in China. You can order a cup of it in any city just walking into a coffee shop.
The so-called Blue Mountain coffee costs dozens of yuan.
In fact, the annual output of this type of coffee from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica does not exceed one hundred tons, and most of it is supplied to European and American countries, with very little imported domestically.
Since the Japanese have invested heavily in the Blue Mountain coffee industry chain and gained a lot of market share, you can still buy authentic Blue Mountain coffee in Japan, but the price has been greatly hyped.
"A pound?"
Filia Chen pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother Lin is too polite. If you have something to say, just tell me."
How smart she was, she couldn't tell that Lin Zhijie was asking for something, so she was extra polite.
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Fei'er."
Lin Zhijie was not embarrassed to be found out and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not my business. I just want to ask Lu Chen, do you have any plans to shoot a new TV series this year?"
Lu Chen suddenly understood, and Feishi Records was also eyeing his new play.
The huge success of "Blue Life and Death" made Lu Chen become a hot figure in the film and television industry in just a few months. This 20-episode urban emotional drama premiered on Haijin Satellite TV, creating a new trend among peers in recent years.
It has the highest ratings record among genre TV series and has made many newcomers popular, including Lu Chen himself.
For example, Hu Yang, who plays Han Tae-seok, the first male supporting actor, and Zhang Liwei, who plays Cui Xin'ai, the first female supporting actor, are all artists who have been debuting for a long time. However, before "Blue Life and Death" was broadcast, several people heard about it.
Did you know these two names?
Now the asking price for a commercial performance by Hu Yang starts from 200,000 yuan, and the brand endorsement is at least 3 million. His net worth has skyrocketed dozens of times, and the number of advertisements is soaring. I don’t know how many colleagues are envious and jealous.
Zhang Junzhi and Ye Mingmei, who played the roles of Junxi and Eunxi when they were young, also became famous overnight.
As for Qiande Brothers Pictures, which invested in the filming of "Blue Life and Death", it is even more prosperous.
The success of "Blue Life and Death" is really a miracle. It has a great influence both inside and outside the industry. The ratings of the first episode rebroadcasted on Beijing TV and Zhejiang TV both exceeded 1%, which is enough to prove that the popularity of the show is not high.
reduce.
Under such circumstances, Lu Chen's new drama this year has become one of the focuses of attention in the industry. Many people in the industry believe that Lu Chen is likely to film the second part of "Blue Life and Death".
After the Chinese New Year, the phone numbers at Lu Xi and Lu Chen's studios were almost inundated with people asking for cooperation. There was an endless stream of recommended artists, and many celebrities even inquired about the news through various channels.
Even Filia Chen was harassed a lot because of this. The relationship between her and Lu Chen is not a secret in the industry.
Feishi Records also came to join in the fun, which is really normal.
Lu Chen said: "Brother Lin, since you want to ask me, shouldn't this coffee be given to me?"
Of course Lu Chen was joking.
In the end, Lin Zhijie gave him a mocking look. Is there any difference between giving it to Filia Chen and giving it to you? Is there any?
Well, there is no difference!
Lu Chen sighed and said, "We plan to start preparations next month. If everything goes well, the filming will probably start in April."
Lin Zhijie's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is this the second part of "Blue Life and Death"?"
Lu Chen shook his head: "No, I will not make a sequel to this drama. I have conceived a new drama."
Now even Filia Chen was interested: "What is the content of the story?"
Lu Chen told her about the new drama that he would film, but it didn't involve anything specific, such as the outline of the story.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "It's being kept secret for the time being, but this drama will no longer be a tragedy, and you will still be the heroine."
Filia Chen rolled her eyes at him coquettishly, but she felt sweet and happy in her heart.
Due to concerns about unforeseen consequences, Lu Chen and Filia Chen have not made their relationship public for the time being, but they do not plan to hide it for a long time. The best way is to use this subtle influence to make fans accept both.
human love.
After the broadcast of "Blue Life and Death", in the eyes of many fans, the two are the best pair.
"Your career is getting bigger and bigger."
Lin Zhijie sincerely lamented that as one of the four original judges of "Singing China", he could say that he had watched Lu Chen become famous all the way to now.
The music director of Flying Stone Records said: "Your sister told me that you intend to change the location of the studio?"
Lu Chen replied calmly: "Yes, I merged a music studio and plan to build a high-standard recording studio. The place I rent now is too small. It would be best if there is a suitable place here."
"A man who makes music should have his own recording studio!"
Lin Zhijie smiled and said: "This is what my mentor once told me. I really envy you."
"You are also very lucky. I know a friend who has opened a large art studio here and is now interested in transferring half of the space. The sublease fee is not cheap, but it is enough to accommodate your new studio."
"Is that good news?"
Lu Chen was surprised: "Really?"
He originally had no hope of settling down in the Art Park. The properties here were so popular that there was no free space, so he was lucky even if he shared the space with others.
Lin Zhijie is a professional. If he says it is enough, then it must be enough.
Lin Zhijie nodded: "Of course it's true. It's a coincidence. My friend needs money recently, otherwise he would never be willing to divide half of his territory."
"It's better to choose a different day than to hit it. Since you came here today, I will take you over to talk to him now."
Lu Chen was grateful: "Thank you, Brother Lin, I'm really sorry to trouble you."
He secretly admired him. Lin Zhijie had just asked him if he had any plans for a new drama. After asking, he stopped saying what he had in mind and first offered to help.
Once a match is made, the favor will be owed.
Lin Zhijie's way of dealing with people is very gentle and quiet, and it is worth learning from him.
Of course, Lu Chen himself was very happy and deeply felt the importance of personal connections.
If it weren't for Lin Zhijie and someone else wanted to sublease the venue, he wouldn't even get the news, let alone negotiate. ——
