Chapter One of the Night

   Chapter 109 Scalp tingling

   "Ok, not bad!"

In front of    is a slightly messy office area. There are a lot of scattered papers on the ground, and the tables, chairs and benches are also quite messy, showing that the original tenants were in a hurry when they moved out.

   Maybe the company went bankrupt.

   Since the 1990s, the economic situation has not been very good.

The second stage of the Ming Dynasty's take-off was actually almost over at the end of the 1980s. The economic situation was basically down until a new economic growth point was found, or a higher level of productivity was achieved. Yes, a large number of companies fail every year.

  The rent will of course also fall.

   But there are still a large number of companies that can no longer afford the rent of office buildings in the imperial city and have to flee.

   In fact, overall, the rent is not expensive.

   Walking around, you can roughly feel that this place was probably a very dynamic company.

   But now, the building is empty.

  Fortunately, Xu Zhenghua wiped a hand on a table, and there was no dust.

   means that the vacancy period is not very long.

"A total of 330 square meters. The tables, chairs and benches are all left over from the previous company. They are not old, and they are still very useful. At that time, part of the rent was paid, but as long as we rent it, we can continue to use it for free. If we don't need it, They will also take it away and sell it directly, and they will be responsible for cleaning it up.”

  Lu Ming followed Xu Zhenghua and introduced him.

   These are obviously the conditions he has won.

"This is the staff office area, and there is also a small bar area over there, where employees can have a cup of coffee, make a cup of tea and eat something. It's very convenient. The decoration has not been demolished, so we can all stay. Then The office area is next to it, I looked at it, and the large skeleton of the decoration hardly needs to be moved. You can choose two rooms, redesign, do sound insulation, etc., and you can easily transform them into a good recording studio..."

  Lu Ming was very excited.

   It took many days and no less than 20 or 30 places before he finally decided on three suitable places for Xu Zhenghua, but among them, he was most optimistic about this place.

  It is very suitable for small and medium-sized companies to move in directly.

   It looks like you can save hundreds of thousands of dollars in decoration costs.

   In fact, you can tell by looking at the expression, Xu Zhenghua is obviously very satisfied.

   "It's good."

  Xu Zhenghua pushed open an office door and walked in. Looking at the nameplate, it is still the general manager's office, but the area is not very large, at least it is far less spacious than He Jianliang's office. It seems that the original tenants actually chose a very pragmatic decoration style.

   But the overall scale is actually not too small.

  The actual usable area of ​​more than 300 square meters is by no means affordable for startups.

   If the current Zhenghua Music were rented, it would actually be a bit of a waste.

   But after a year it will not be wasted.

   "Ah, I said, there is a secret door, hahahaha."

   The general manager's office has a toilet and a dark room with a bed.

  The boss is tired from the office, so he can take a nap here.

   is good, I like it.

   "Let's settle this, and then haggle! It's too expensive!"

   turned the entire office area around, Xu Zhenghua decided in one word.

   The real estate agent who was at the end of the line was happy when he heard the first half of the sentence, and his face suddenly turned pale when he heard the second half of the sentence.

"it is good!"

  Lu Ming agreed immediately.

  Yuan Wei also wanted to ask which one he planned to renovate as a recording studio, but when he turned his head, he saw Xu Zhenghua hugging his senior sister Xie Shuyi, who was pointing and drawing, so he pursed his lips and stopped his steps.

   "From there, it's separated, completely separated from this side, just leave a passage for this side, come in is the music company, and you can leave about a hundred square meters there."

   "Why?"

   "Come and open an accounting firm and serve me personally."

   "Bang! Don't make trouble!"

Xie Shuyi said seriously: "The place that Brother Lu chose is really good, but I still think it's too wasteful, and it costs a lot of rent every year. According to what you said, your music company will not expand in the short term, nor will it do any propaganda by itself. What if, then reserving so many workstations is really a waste of money."

   "I said it, it's enough for the music company to keep about 200 square meters. After the separation, it's yours, didn't I make it clear?"

Xie Shuyi was silent for a while, but still shook her head, "I think... I really can't do it! I'm okay with working for others, I can do whatever the boss says, like now, run errands for you or something, but You asked me to come over and set up my own stall, I think I will definitely pay for it!"

  Xu Zhenghua smiled and didn't persuade him, "Anyway, let's decorate it first!"

   Xie Shuyi is his personal accountant, and Xu Zhenghua has unlimited trust in her. Now all his accounts, big and small, are with her, so she will naturally take care of these things.

   Starting a business and starting a company is really not the responsibility of the broker.

   "Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say."

   She agreed to come down.

   After seeing several rooms, Xu Zhenghua accepted Lu Ming's suggestion, and immediately decided to open up two of the offices to make a large recording studio, and choose another office to be a small recording studio.

   Except for these places that need to be started, the rest are basically cleaned up.

  Leaving Lu Ming, Xie Shuyi and Jiang Liangyun here to negotiate the price and break the contract, Xu Zhenghua soon took Guan Yulan and Yuan Wei downstairs, the two cars in front and back, went straight to the branch of Venus Records in the imperial capital.

   Renting a house is a trivial matter, just take a look at it, and it won’t delay your song practice.

   It's just that Yuan Wei has been making a lot of noise recently, so I had to bring her today.

   "In the crowd of people, there are you and me, and we meet and know each other and ponder each other.

   In the crowd of people, it’s you and me, pretending to be decent and smiling.

  …”

  There is no drummer, so Da Liu is in charge of improvising and recording it as an accompaniment, without delaying song practice.

   But in front of the console, Yuan Wei, who entered the recording studio for the first time to hear Xu Zhenghua sing, was stunned.

  The blood vessels are congested, the scalp is numb, the heart is beating wildly, and the lips are dry.

   The drum beat is not so loud, but Xu Zhenghua's singing is really refreshing.

   This song seems to have an indescribable masculinity, warm-blooded and cold.

   saw through it coldly, and the warm intestines hung up.

   So he took a break, and when Xu Zhenghua came out for a drink, Yuan Wei rushed up and said, "Zhenghua, I love you to death, was that song your single?"

   Da Liu laughed on the side.

   He has listened to several new songs in the past few days, and there is no initial surprise.

   But he has been in this circle for several years, and he knows very well what kind of lethality this kind of song has on little girls, especially those who like music or literary style.

   Not to mention the little girl, when he heard this song yesterday, his scalp tingled instantly.

  You must know that this little girl has never heard other songs before, and this is the one that came to her ears, and she has been surprised all the way these days. It can be said that she has long been accustomed to it - one can imagine how shocked she is.

   In front of Da Liu and Guan Yulan, Xu Zhenghua held her in his arms without any scruples, "I haven't decided yet, choose an option."

   Yuan Wei stood on tiptoe and kissed.

   I can't wait to rub my body into Xu Zhenghua's arms.

   is crazy.

   Xu Zhenghua's options...a bit too many.

   Even, regarding his first album, his idea of ​​song selection has changed several times.

   At first he made a list of about 30 songs, all of which were his favorites.

   But later, he felt that to take care of the overall music style and trend of this time and space, he could be half a step ahead, but not too much.

   For him at the moment, being popular and earning a lot of money is definitely the first demand.

   So I made a new list.

   But soon, he felt that this playlist was too earthy.

   Yes, they are all works that are very suitable for the present and have a high probability of being popular, but if you look carefully, you will find that they are all works that you no longer want to listen to for many years.

First, some songs were drool-worthy, and they would be popular back then, but after a few years, everyone would not be willing to listen to them. Second, some songs were very popular back then, and the quality of the songs themselves was really not bad, but The arrangement is very dirty, that is to say, it is easy to fall out of date, but after many years, if you change the arrangement and cover it, it will still be a good song.

   But the problem is that he doesn't have much confidence in letting him arrange the music himself.

   So he pulled up a third list.

   Then there was a fourth.

   But it’s useless no matter how much the list is pulled, it will eventually be used in the album, and it still only needs ten songs.

   So you need to be very selective.

   And it also suits your voice and singing style.

   His own voice is bright enough, not as bright as Sun Nan's ceiling-level, nor as clear as Zhou Shen and Li Jian. Although he is bright, he will have a little bit of richness. Generally speaking, his voice is thicker.

   is probably the same as Dou Daxian.

   but not as clean as his voice.

   Of course, after adding the technique of mixing sound, the resonance of the head cavity is opened, and it can be as bad as it is.

   So he must sing "No Place to Be Ashamed".

Forty years in my last life, it may not be so sure if I say it is my favorite, but if I say it is the top ten favorites, then there must be this song - even if it is 30 years after the song is released. Listen, it still sounds so good.

   So a classic is a classic.

   Can be popular, can make money, is not easy to fall behind, and can sing by himself.

   This is basically his current song selection criteria.

   If you just choose according to this standard, there is a high probability that this album will be made into a hodgepodge as Liu Junxian warned at the beginning - but it doesn't matter.

   They can evaluate whatever they like. Anyway, the things I make can sell and sell well, that’s all.

   A hodgepodge of hodgepodge!

  Even... in the direction of the hodgepodge, who can say that this is not a feature?

  Other singers, you ask them to try this hodgepodge too!

  There are two love songs to choose from.

  The best sellers on the market are always love songs.

   There are two Chinese styles to choose from - although in this time and space, Chinese styles are not uncommon, the Ming Dynasty is still there, the inheritance has never been broken, and Kunqu Opera is still sung. Who cares about your Chinese style!

   But R&B is definitely novel.

  Rap can be recorded with two songs ready, and the first single will be released to try out the trend.

  The direction of the wind was right, so I received the first album for the two works, but the wind direction was not right, so I threw it in to make up the number.

   Then there is a ballast stone for the whole album.

   A slow song for the finale.

  This is the first one to choose, and it is "The Love of My Life".

  I like it, no way.

   It happened that there were also available people around, so it was very nice to ask Jin Xiaoqing to sing a harmony.

This kind of song is destined not to be the main thing to be responsible for the sales, but if it exists, it is not outdated for at least ten or twenty years. Those who have heard it may not like it very much at the time, but it has been twenty years. Later, he suddenly turned it out, and he would still be willing to listen to it. That's fine.

   This is considered to be stuffed with some private goods.

   The rest is rock and roll.

   I am Cui Dashen, I am Dou Xian'er, I am Wang Toutiao, I am Xu Feiyou, my Jiaju, I am Wu Bai...

   There are so many good songs that my scalp tingles.

   "Give me your hand and your waist,

   Let us melt into this rhythm,

   Don't care about the sad moments of yesterday,

   Ignore promises that are never fulfilled,

   Let's rock together, rock together,

   Forget all the pain and swing together.

  …”

   Like this kind of song, Xu Zhenghua doesn't know how to classify it. With his limited musical knowledge, he thinks it belongs to blues rock. But the style of the horse is completely irrelevant.

   The key is that when you sing it, this song is exciting enough!

   Going out to pick up a commercial show and run a bar magic horse, the scene will definitely explode!

   is very beneficial to make more money!

  …………

   When he went out after the afternoon rehearsal, Yuan Wei almost turned into an octopus and sucked onto Xu Zhenghua.

  The party at night is not good without taking her there.

  Da Liu also took care of Yulan's car and went to eat and drink together.

   So everyone took two more cars and went straight to Zhao Qubing's house.

Xu Zhenghua doesn't like parties, let alone doing it himself, he is not even interested in participating, so even though he actually signed the contract, it means that he has taken another big step forward, but he still did not want to hold a party to celebrate It means a little bit, but Zhao Qubing is sure to celebrate it.

   has stepped into the music scene.

   And I'm going to sing with An Xiaojing.

   And it was created by Xu Zhenghua, the most popular creator in the music world.

   This is enough for him, a newcomer to the music scene, for a few months.

   "Haha, Zhenghua, here!"

When    arrived, the party had already started, and it was very lively.

   Men and women feasting.

   Zhao Qubing also looked like a spirited boy. He shuttled among the people of various colors. When he saw Xu Zhenghua coming, he immediately greeted him with a glass of wine and a big smile.

   The two smiled and hugged, and Xu Zhenghua introduced Yuan Wei to him.

   He also introduced all his friends and old friends to Xu Zhenghua.

  Everyone shook hands and said hello.

  Compared to the last time, Yuan Wei is no longer in stage fright.

   But after a brief greeting, Xu Zhenghua didn't hold back and didn't want to chat with anyone for a while, but instead ran to the dining table with Yuan Wei.

   There is barbecue today, and I can smell it as soon as I walk in the door.

   One person holds a plate of barbecued meat and eats it wildly for a while.

   Soon, Guan Yulan also ran over.

   Several people looked at each other and smiled.

   It was a bit late when we finished the rehearsal, so I rushed over without having dinner.

After eating a plate of grilled meat, the problem of the temple of the five internal organs was solved, and she became more relaxed. Yuan Wei ate less and was drinking slowly with a glass of wine. Seeing that Xu Zhenghua's eating speed slowed down, she asked Guan Yulan: "Hey, Sister Guan, how much do you think he will pay for this villa? Can Zhenghua afford it now?"

   Guan Yulan smiled and looked left and right, "This boundary, this area... ah, I understand, you ask him!"

  Lu Ming came over, and Xie Shuyi and Jiang Xiaomi also saw Xu Zhenghua and came over.

   So Yuan Wei repeated the question again.

"Oh!" Lu Ming thought for a while, "This villa is estimated to cost five or six million! The house is not expensive recently! And the location here is a little out of the way, not the most expensive place. I guess it can't exceed it. Six million!"

  Yuan Wei said "oh" and asked, "Zhenghua, you can also afford it, right?"

   If I can afford it, I won’t buy it, there are many places where I have to spend money!

   Of course, I can't say that, I have to say it like this: "This... It's a little bit worse. When I release the album, I will buy a bigger and more expensive one than his!"

   Yuan Wei's eyes suddenly brightened.

   Actually, what Xu Zhenghua said was not wrong, let alone bragging.

Zhao Qubing is a new-generation actor who has rapidly become popular in recent years, and he has basically only played the leading role since his debut, but it is said that his single-episode salary is only 120,000 to 150,000. With two to three plays, the 100-episode play has reached its peak, and the annual income before tax will be in the early tens of millions.

   has taken over two movies, one is a supporting role, the other is a leading actor, but it is also a literary film. It is said that the price of the film he accepts now is about 1 million, and the literary film is even 500 to 600000 yuan.

   His income, that's all.

   Add some advertisements, endorsements, and horses, and after tax, it is basically about 10 million.

  In terms of income, at least in this era, singers of the same level will definitely beat film and television actors.

   Zhao Qu’s illness has been popular for two or three years, and it’s just a 5-6 million villa. Du Xuelan just became popular and sold a single. Just two days ago, he won a 9.6 million-dollar mansion.

   We haven't moved yet, waiting for auspicious day.

   People in the entertainment industry seem to be pursuing this.

  Mansions, luxury cars, private yachts, private docks, and even private jets.

   nothing more than that.

   especially need these things to decorate one's own success.

   Of course, Xu Zhenghua also likes to live in a luxury house and drive a luxury car, but his life goals are not so shallow.

   is not in a hurry to enjoy these yet.

  Xie Shuyi came over and handed the cup to Jiang Xiaomi to hold it. He pulled a bag from behind and took out a contract and a pen, "Come on, sign it, boss!"

Xu Zhenghua laughed and wiped his hands with two pieces of paper. He took the pen and lay down on the dining table. Without even looking, he signed his name at the place pointed by Xie Shuyi. down?"

   "Well, for three years, I gave a small discount, 160,000 per year, pay one year first."

   is ok, not too expensive.

  Three years is enough. After three years, if you still can't buy a house, you will be a failure.

  Xie Shuyi put away the documents and pen, took the cup and asked Jiang Xiaomi, "Do you want to continue playing?"

   Jiang Xiaomi smiled and said, "Let's play for a while, you see, this is called a slapstick dog, this is called a feast for the eyes." Then she pulled the helpless Xie Shuyi away.

  Lu Ming smiled, but didn't leave.

  Xu Zhenghua turned his head to see him, and praised him, "This is a good job, thank you!"

  Lu Ming's face suddenly blossomed with a smile, "There's nothing to be thankful for, it's just a trivial matter, hehe."

   He walked away for a while, Xu Zhenghua had just finished his full meal, and was about to walk around for a while, but An Xiaojing actually came over.

   As soon as he saw her, Yuan Wei's loose arms suddenly tightened again.

  An Xiaojing's face was not very good-looking, but she still said hello, "Weiwei."

  Yuan Wei didn't know what to think, so his arm subconsciously loosened a little bit, showing a normal smile, "Xiaojing, long time no see."

  No, they haven't seen each other for a long time.

   This conversation made Xu Zhenghua inexplicably want to laugh.

   Not long ago, the two of them were talking swear words to each other on the phone. In fact, they usually lived upstairs and downstairs.

   But we can never meet again.

   is also a tacit understanding.

  Xu Zhenghua broke away Yuan Wei's arm, put the wine glass on the dining table, and put his arms around the other, "Right, how good this is, what's so noisy!"

   Both of them smiled, one "um" and one "yes".

   But in fact... An Xiaojing's service attitude has been declining recently.

The    song has been obtained, as stipulated in the contract, Xu Zhenghua has lost the means to handle it as far as she is concerned - if the next album is not considered.

   And with An Xiaojing's current momentum and status, the few songs that Kojima Records got her hands on will not be denied to her. So she is actually sitting on the Diaoyutai now.

   But this time, An Xiaojing doesn't seem to intend to be so short-sighted after the recording of "Short Hair".

  Although the service attitude has declined, it is not so enthusiastic and proactive, but it is still able to do whatever is needed, and the service quality is still commendable.

   Considering that she has indeed earned most of her energy recently by those songs, it is understandable.

  Compared with this, Yuan Weizhen recently became more enthusiastic every day.

  Xu Zhenghua released the two of them and picked up the glass, "Come on, touch one!"

  An Xiaojing and Yuan Wei also raised their wine glasses.

   The three wine glasses made a "ding" sound and touched each other.

  …………

   Walking over from An Xiaojing, Guan Yulan turned her back subconsciously, trying to shrink her body as much as possible, hoping that An Xiaojing could not see herself at all.

  An Xiaojing did not pay attention to her at all.

   But the scene in front of him still made Guan Yulan's scalp tingle while watching.

   When the two of them walked aside and chatted, Guan Yulan hurriedly came over and put her palms together, "Zhenghua, master, you better put it away! The two of them... are not that easy to mess with!"

   Who are these two people? We've known each other for so many days. Even if Yulan admits to himself, it's 70% to 80% of the time.

   is by no means a good girl who is obedient and virtuous.

   But Xu Zhenghua laughed when he heard the words.

   Then, he also came over and whispered, "Those who like to raise dogs and cats are just cowards to have some fun. I'm a different boss. I like to raise wolves and leopards... Hahahaha!"

   Ask for a few more guaranteed monthly passes!
