Eileen Chang said, to become famous as early as possible.
Wen Zhiyuan has been in the industry for more than ten years, and has met many young and famous artists, but he has never met a young man who is as calm and humble as Lu Chen, neither arrogant nor impetuous nor humble.
Many newcomers will be very humble in front of praise and glory, but they are still proud of themselves, and their emotions will be revealed through their eyes and subtle movements.
Anyone with vision and experience like Wen Zhiyuan can see it.
However, this is not the case for Lu Chen. His modesty comes from the heart, and it is definitely not a deliberate disguise. He gives Wen Zhiyuan the feeling that he is like an unfathomable pool of water, and he can't see the bottom at a glance.
In fact, Wen Zhiyuan didn't know that Lu Chen was not like this just a few months ago.
Lu Chen experienced three different lives in the long dream, fused the memories of the three dream world people, and washed away the youthfulness and childishness overnight, so he naturally appeared different.
And the precious wealth from the dream world gave Lu Chen super self-confidence.
But he also deeply understands the source of everything he currently has, so he will not underestimate others.
All kinds of wonderful combinations gave Lu Chen a different kind of charm.
Today's young people are really amazing!
Wen Zhiyuan admired secretly, and became more determined to ask Lu Chen for a song.
Tang Qiaoqiao is a good child, her chance has come.
After the politeness, Wen Zhiyuan introduced Li Zhigao and Tang Qiaoqiao to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen didn't know that before he came, there was a small game in EMI's brokerage department, which led to the change of the audition object, but this did not affect his sincerity for this cooperation.
Since "In the Spring" became popular, several entertainment agencies approached the studio to invite Lu Chen to sing, but they were all scared away by his asking price.
Now that Lu Chen has won the title of "Singing China" and released many excellent original works at the same time, letting people see his talent and strength, the original asking price is not so unacceptable.
Lu Chen asked Lu Xi to raise the price.
Every piece of work in his memory is a masterpiece or even a classic, and he would rather rot in his hands than sell it cheaply.
Apart from Light Rain Media, which has already tasted the sweetness, EMI Brokerage Company is the first company that really sincerely cooperates with Lu Chen in this regard, so he will take the initiative to come to audition.
Some songwriters sell whatever they write for money, no matter who they sing it to.
There are also some authors who will customize and tailor-made according to the singer's voice, appearance and even personality, and the latter's popularity in the circle is often higher than the former.
What Lu Chen wants to do is the latter - there are too many works in his memory, and he can always find something that meets his requirements!
Wen Zhiyuan really didn't know, he would probably be dumbfounded if he knew.
The head of EMI's brokerage department led everyone to the audition room.
EMI Culture Brokerage Company is medium-sized, with many contracted artists, but it does not have an independent recording studio, and the production is outsourced to other companies. Delong Building has a first-class production unit such as Tianlai Workshop.
But the audition room is indispensable.
After a singer's album or single is produced, it must be brought back to the relevant personnel of the company for audition, and then the marketing and promotion plan will be determined.
Therefore, EMI's audition room is quite professional, with all kinds of audio equipment, even a large-screen projection, equipped with an accompaniment tape and a microphone, it can be used as a high-end karaoke hall.
Tang Qiaoqiao sang two songs to Lu Chen here, a sweet song and a fast song.
Lu Chen listened carefully.
If the full score is 10 points, Tang Qiaoqiao's appearance condition is at least 7 points, and the exquisite dress can get 8 points.
Her voice is a bit nasal, with a sweet girl's lazy feeling, and it sounds very comfortable. It belongs to that kind of voice with characteristics and potential. It is not without reason that EMI signed her.
But the problem is that Tang Qiaoqiao's characteristics are not strong enough, and her singing skills are not very good. In the capital city full of talents, it is not easy to stand out.
Unless there's a good song to help her out!
Lu Chen fell into deep thought after listening.
After other songwriters have auditioned the singer's voice, all they think about is what theme, melody, and arrangement to match the other party's characteristics.
Lu Chen thought differently, and the question he was thinking about was not that complicated.
That is the choice of which song is suitable!
If he didn't want to shock the world too much, it would be no problem for him to write a few dozen or so songs for Tang Qiaoqiao on the spot.
While Lu Chen was searching for memories, Tang Qiaoqiao, Li Zhigao, and Wen Zhiyuan all kept their mouths shut and looked at him expectantly. Li Zhigao was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead.
At the same time, in a certain office of EMI, Zhang Shuhui was on the phone with someone else.
"Yeah, I see..."
She walked back and forth in the small room, saying yes, frowning from time to time.
Zhang Qiong sat on the sofa, looked at the restless niece in front of her, and shook her head helplessly.
This child is always so frizzy, and when something happens, he will get out of order.
She said she was an aunt's agent, but she was actually just like a nanny.
After a while, Zhang Shuhui ended the call.
She squeezed the phone hard, and said in annoyance: "Auntie, that Lu Chen is here. Xiao Chen told me that Director Wen took him, Li Zhigao and Tang Qiaoqiao into the listening room!"
"what?"
Hearing this news, Zhang Qiong was also taken aback, her face changed slightly.
But she quickly understood, and couldn't help sneering: "That bastard Li Zhigao is a little smarter, he must have taken advantage of the loophole to persuade Wen Zhiyuan to ask that Lu Chen to write a song for Tang Qiaoqiao, he came for me !"
Previously, Zhang Qiong deliberately disappeared in the company, just to embarrass Wen Zhiyuan.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhigao seized the opportunity.
Zhang Shuhui hesitated for a moment and asked, "Auntie, you said that if Tang Qiaoqiao..."
Although she is also a signed artist under Wen Zhiyuan's supervision, Zhang Shuhui has never paid attention to Tang Qiaoqiao, who made her debut before her. The latter's rank in the company is one or two levels behind her, and there was no threat at all.
However, this time Tang Qiaoqiao actually hooked up with Lu Chen, which made her instinctively wary.
Zhang Shuhui is actually no stranger to Lu Chen, because she has watched most of the competitions of "Singing China".
Lu Chen's talent is unquestionable, and Zhang Shuhui's favorite song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" he sang in the finals almost touched her heart.
So Zhang Shuhui was very happy to know that Wen Zhiyuan applied for funds from the company and asked Lu Chen to write a song for her.
But Zhang Qiong strongly opposed it.
Zhang Qiong's objection was very strong. The style of Lu Chen's works was not suitable for her, and the asking price was too high.
According to Zhang Qiong's words, only rookies who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth dare to mess around with such a big coffee price. Wen Zhiyuan is messing around and trying to make a joke. She, Zhang Shuhui, can't be reduced to a laughing stock.
Zhang Qiong recommended Xi Yu to Zhang Shuhui, and 250,000 is enough to buy three good works.
How could it be possible for Wen Zhiyuan to squander the funds that Zhang Qiong applied for with all his efforts
Zhang Shuhui followed Zhang Qiong's advice because she knew that her aunt loved her the most and would not harm herself.
But now hearing the news, her heart was disturbed again.
What if Lu Chen wrote a good song for Tang Qiaoqiao and made Tang Qiaoqiao famous
This was originally her chance!
Zhang Qiong knew exactly what Zhang Shuhui was thinking, she interrupted the former without thinking, and said very confidently: "Tang Qiaoqiao has no chance, how can she be eligible to apply for the funds for buying songs?"
"Wen Zhiyuan did it on purpose for us to see. That Lu Chen guy is here, so he can't let him go back right away, right? So even if he's putting on a show, he can't offend others."
"Maybe Li Zhigao and Tang Qiaoqiao are the ones he found just now!"
The more Zhang Qiong thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right, and he slapped his hands fiercely: "This old fox!"
It was as if the slap was on Wen Zhiyuan's face.
When Zhang Shuhui heard it, ah, what Auntie said made so much sense, a relieved smile immediately appeared on her face.
Zhang Qiong stood up and took her little hand, and said in relief: "Shuhui, don't think too much, I'll contact Xi Yu immediately and ask him to write some really good songs for you, and then we will release an album!"
"Great!"
Zhang Shuhui was immediately enraged, and immediately hugged Zhang Qiong and kissed her: "Auntie, you are so kind to me!"
"You child!"
Zhang Qiong glared at her angrily.
She was secretly proud in her heart - Wen Zhiyuan, you want to fight with me too, go drink my old lady's footwashing water!
Wen Zhiyuan didn't know that someone was going to invite him to drink footwashing water, and he was staring at Lu Chen eagerly.
In the audition room, Lu Chen finally made up his mind. He said to Wen Zhiyuan: "Director Wen, I already have an idea for Ms. Tang Qiaoqiao's song. The day after tomorrow, I'll bring the work and sign a contract to transfer the copyright."
"what?"
Wen Zhiyuan wondered if there was something wrong with his ears: "Teacher Lu Chen, do you mean that you can write a song for Tang Qiaoqiao the day after tomorrow?"
This Nima is too fast!
You must know that the price offered by Lu Chen is 250,000, which is the price of a real celebrity in the industry. Although it is not as good as the top big names, it is still very amazing in EMI.
Lu Chen actually said that it could be done in two days.
Li Zhigao and Tang Qiaoqiao also showed expressions of disbelief.
Lu Chen smiled lightly and said, "I originally prepared this song for Chen Fei'er, and it seems more suitable for Tang Qiaoqiao."
Chen Feier, Queen of Sweet Songs!
Everyone was speechless, and then they remembered that Chen Fei'er admired Lu Chen very much.
She even invited Lu Chen to be a guest at the concert on the show.
So what Lu Chen said is probably true.
