The initial effect of the personnel management system is quite good, and there are basically no bugs. Of course, after long-term use, you will definitely find some shortcomings. This needs to be improved slowly.
But there is no need to rush.
Shengtang Technology no longer needs him as chairman for the time being. Therefore, Chen Feng returned to Los Angeles and started busy with other matters of his own.
First of all, he took advantage of his return to go to Beyoncé’s house, met his daughter, and stayed at her house for one night. During this time, he was on two boats, which was not known to outsiders. Chen Feng, he
I already have the consciousness to be a scumbag, and I have done everything I should and should not do.
Returning to the mountaintop villa after more than two months of absence, first Catherine gave him a tight hug, then Miranda, and Emily hugged him one after another to welcome his return.
This time, Zhao Wenxiu, a cousin, did not come to the United States with Chen Feng. Instead, Chen Feng stayed at Summit Entertainment in the capital to work with Su Qian and learn something.
Otherwise, it is really unnecessary for his cousin, who graduated from high school, to be a cook with him all the time. She is still young. If she hadn't been unwilling to go to college, Chen Feng would have found a way to get her into college.
.
However, Zhao Wenxiu didn't come over, so Catherine lost a playmate. Miranda and Emily were not always at home, so she had no choice but to go back to her parents' place.
But most of the time, she still lives in the villa owned by Master Chen Feng.
Of course, Chen Feng and Miranda had no objections to this.
"Master, do you have time to guide me in practicing the piano?"
Catherine has recently passed the qualification review of the International Chopin Piano Competition, mainly by sending her piano playing video to the organizing committee, and of course, there are also relevant pianist recommendation letters.
Therefore, her qualification was obtained without any suspense. Of course, she only passed the qualifiers, and then she would have to go through three stages of competition, the semi-finals, the semi-finals and the finals.
The contestants who can enter the preliminaries are already very good at piano. They come from all over the world. Not only are they already well-known in the local area, they must have practiced piano for many years and have a very good level.
The number of these people is generally controlled at around 160.
Then, the jury eliminated almost half of them, which was about 80 people, and asked them to participate in the rematch in October, followed by the semi-finals and finals. In the end, the number of people in the finals was basically in various digits, and there were rarely even more than 8 people.
of.
In the finals where this number of people participate, the final winner may not get the gold medal, because if the jury feels that you are not qualified to win the gold medal, then the gold medal in the Chopin International Piano Competition held every five years will be a bye.
Therefore, there is no doubt about the value of this piano award.
Not to mention that Catherine attaches great importance to it, Chen Feng also attaches great importance to it.
"I will try my best to take the time to guide you. But, again, the most important thing is to practice diligently on your own. Of course, you can't practice too much. This level? You have to control it yourself."
When she heard Chen Feng agreed, Catherine was very happy, "Thank you, Master. I will definitely practice more frequently. I have been practicing these days. My fingers are obviously calloused."
Emily smiled and said: "Katherine is now recognized as a piano princess. What if she can win the championship of the Chopin International Piano Competition in the future? She can be crowned queen. I'm really looking forward to it."
Miranda also smiled when she heard this: "I am also very optimistic about Catherine. Her piano talent is really good. Everyone is praising her piano talent. You can often see her photos and reports about her in the media.
."
Miranda's previously released piano single "Girl's Prayer" finally became popular around the world last month.
At the beginning, because of this piano music, there was no large-scale promotion? Even Tina and Blainey did not do friendship network promotion with her.
Because this is what Catherine asked for? It is also what her parents hope. In fact, they don't want Catherine, their only baby daughter, to become a star? They don't even want her to become a public figure.
The reason why Catherine likes to play the piano is out of interest, not to become famous and make money. Her family is not short of money, and both Catherine and her parents take fame and fortune very lightly.
The main reason why Catherine agreed to release a piano single was to commemorate her sixteenth birthday. It was not to become famous.
Therefore, only 500,000 copies of this piano single were printed at the beginning? As a result, it was sold out for more than half a month. Catherine herself didn't care much about this? Chen Feng, who contributed money and effort
The boss was also busy with Android phones and forgot about this matter.
Until more and more people heard the piano music "Girl's Prayer", coupled with the creative contribution of Chen Feng, the pianist who defeated the American piano prince, he also had "To Miranda"
" and "Letter to Mother" are two classic piano pieces.
In addition, a video of Chen Feng playing "Girl's Prayer" at Catherine's sixteenth birthday party began to circulate on the Internet.
As a result, more and more music lovers, especially piano music lovers, the largest number of whom are Chen Feng’s piano fans, began to spontaneously promote and promote the music on the Internet.
So in less than a month, all the 500,000 copies in stock were sold out. After that, another 2 million copies were printed and distributed around the world, but they were still sold out in less than a month.
The third edition was directly printed with 5 million copies and continued to be distributed around the world. Judging from feedback from various countries, there are still some people who are not buying or selling.
It looks like there will be another printing for the fourth time.
Therefore, it is certain that this Catherine's music single album has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide.
Catherine, a fairy-like girl, quickly became famous because of the song "Girl's Prayer". Although she herself refused to be interviewed by outside media, the powerful media still obtained many of her previous photos, video materials, and even interviewed her.
She followed and filmed.
It wasn't until Catherine's father Matthew applied for an injunction from the court here that the paparazzi reporters stopped.
However, there are still frequent reports about Catherine in the media, and she is given the title of "Piano Princess".
To be honest, this title makes Chen Feng want to complain, because the original "Piano Prince" was stepped on by Chen Feng.
This was either a prince or a princess, which made Chen Feng feel that their vocabulary for naming was really low.
Miranda and Emily's praises were not too much. But Chen Feng was really worried that Catherine was drifting off, so he took the initiative to cool her down and said: "Just take a look at these flattering reports in the media. If they are true, you are wrong.
Yes. They can lift you to the sky or trample you into the dirt. Don't take them too seriously."
"I know, Master. I don't care much about the media's praise for me. I released the music album just to commemorate my youth, and it is also a historical commemoration for you, Master. It sells well and becomes famous because of it.
I don’t think much of it.”
Chen Feng was very satisfied with Catherine's attitude. After all, she had experienced pain and suffering and the test of life and death. In addition, she had been rich since she was a child and came from a wealthy family, so she was relatively indifferent to fame and fortune.
"That's good. You are still young, and fame and fortune are a burden to you. Besides, you don't need to rely on fame to make money. So, you don't have to chase the spotlight. I'm not asking you not to want fame and fortune, but
You don’t have to care and chase, because after you win the Chopin International Piano Competition, fame and fortune will come naturally. Do you know what I mean?”
Chen Feng, as a master, can be said to be sincere. Many people become famous at a young age, but in the end they achieve nothing, or even degenerate into a useless person. There are many such examples. Chen Feng does not want Catherine to become like this. In addition, also
I don't want her to become someone who is constantly chasing after fame and fortune.
Although he and many others are chasing fame and wealth, he does not want his fairy-like apprentice to become like this.
"I know, Master. Don't worry. In fact, I'm not young anymore. I'm already sixteen years old. I know everything I need to know. I won't be one of those people who is bound by fame and fortune. I want to live a relaxed and free life.
, comfortable. So, I don’t want too much spotlight. I want a free and comfortable life, and becoming a big star is not what I want.”
Emily joked from the side: "But if you win the Chopin International Piano Competition, you will be a big star, and you will be recorded in history."
Catherine said frankly: "I don't want to be a big star. But if I become a big star because of this, it actually doesn't matter. How should I live my life? Anyway, I don't want to be a big star. I just want to be a big star."
Do what I want to do."
"Very good. You are worthy of being my apprentice."
Catherine's detached attitude is something Chen Feng admires very much. And she seems to be similar to Chen Feng, the master.
In fact, Chen Feng has always wanted to live a transcendent life. The reason why he wanted to become a star in the first place was completely involuntary because he wanted to change the fate of the original owner who fell into the dust, wanted to make money, and wanted to live a better life.
.
After he became famous and made money, he actually no longer took fame and fortune very seriously, at least that's what he felt.
After becoming famous, his ideological realm began to sublimate. What he considered was serving the country and the people, and his sense of social responsibility.
This is also the main reason why he started to be a boss and started investing in industry. It was because of his sense of social responsibility that making money was only secondary. He is such a moral person.
"Master, don't worry, I won't let you down. I will definitely win the championship in the Chopin International Piano Competition." Catherine said with confidence.
Chen Feng reached out and touched her head, and said happily: "I think so too."
The master and apprentice looked at each other and laughed.
Emily and Miranda who were standing next to them could not help but curl their lips slightly as they looked at it. This pair of master and apprentice were so stinky.
On the first day back home, Chen Feng spent most of his time instructing Catherine in her piano playing.
When he came back this time, he could clearly see that Catherine's playing level had improved significantly. She also had a deeper understanding of Chopin's piano music.
The speed is also faster than before. You must know that when the Chopin International Piano Competition jury makes selections, playing speed is a very important criterion. The second is the understanding of each Chopin's piano music. Finally, the piano music
The rendering power that goes straight into people's hearts.
This made Chen Feng more confident in her victory.
The next day, Chen Fengcai went to the Beauty Beauty Company to handle some documents that required his signature, and to discuss several major company issues with Laurent, Lisa, and Liu Ya. The highlight was where to watch "Game of Thrones"
Issues regarding TV station signings and revenue sharing.
The first season of "Game of Thrones" and filming have been completed, and the post-production of special effects is in full swing, which is expected to be completed in one or two months. Before that, of course, contacts and negotiations with major TV stations must begin.
The focus of the negotiations is on those paid cable TV stations. HBO, owned by Warner Bros., is the first choice because they have already approved the TV series from the beginning and are undoubtedly very optimistic about this TV series.
From the beginning, Chen Feng authorized Trauren to mainly talk to HBO, but the current conditions offered by HBO were not satisfactory to them. There was no need to hang him from a tree, and Trauren sent people to
I contacted several other TV companies.
It's just that the finished film hasn't been released yet, and some TV stations still have some concerns.
Therefore, everyone needs to discuss a charter.
In addition, we are currently in the process of filming the second season of "Lost" and the third season of "The Big Bang Theory", as well as preparations for Blainey's new album. The company's first girl group has been established and is currently collecting songs from everywhere.
, I hope Chen Feng can compose a debut song for them. In addition, the final decision on the name of this girl group will be made by the boss Chen Feng.
Chen Feng, a member of this girl group, had met them before and had a good impression of them, so he agreed to write a debut song for them. He also rejected several previously undecided girl group names and named them the Spice Girls himself.
.
Finally, there is the chart promotion of Chen Feng's first English album "The Sound of Silence" and so on.
His album of English songs will be officially released tomorrow. Chen Feng doesn't care about charting or anything like that, and he doesn't have the time to do it himself, but it is still necessary to promote it.
Although he is sure that his album will receive rave reviews and sales, if there is no promotion, the early stage may be longer than the single album "Girl's Prayer".
Therefore, we still need to get the publicity we deserve. No matter what, he is the boss of Meili Jiaren Company. Since he has released an album, he must make appropriate use of the company's existing resources for publicity.
It would be foolish not to do this.
Therefore, advertising on radio stations, TV stations, magazines, online media, and promotions on major music websites are all necessary.
For this reason, Chen Feng, as his boss, specially approved US$5 million in promotional expenses for this album, leaving it to Liu Ya, his assistant, to take full responsibility.
Neither Trelawen nor Lisa have any objections to this. Because they have listened to the songs in this album, they all like it very much, and they are full of confidence in this album. If you spend 5 million US dollars, it will definitely be much more.
