At the celebration party of Flying Stone Records, there must be very few people who didn't know Lu Chen.
It was normal for someone to greet him when they saw him.
Now Lu Chen was also qualified to be called a "teacher" — he supervised MSN's debut album.
That was how one's status was built up step by step.
But Lu Chen didn't know the guy who greeted him at all.
The other party was short and fat, with thin eyebrows, small eyes, a flat nose, and a bald head, which shone under the light of the room. He looked like a comedian who did crosstalk, but there was a big difference in his facial features.
He walked quickly to Lu Chen, held out his hands, and said with a smile, "I'm so happy to see you!"
An authentic Beijing accent!
Lu Chen shook hands with him subconsciously and said in a daze, "Hello, who are you?"
The short and fat man immediately introduced himself, "I'm from Hongpeng Media …"
"Old Wu!"
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by someone.
And the one who interrupted him was none other than Lin Zhijie. Behind the music director of Flying Stone Records were three beautiful girls with smiling faces — Mu Xiaochu, Su Jiajia and Ning Tian!
Lu Chen's attention was immediately distracted.
Lin Zhijie came over and said with a smile, "Lu Chen, this is Wu Sheng, President Wu of Hongpeng Media. President Wu, I have something to discuss with Lu Chen. Do you mind?"
The latter two sentences were said by Lin Zhijie to the short and fat man.
He had a smile on his face, but there was not much smile in his eyes, and there was a bit of coldness.
Strictly speaking, Lin Zhijie's approach was against social etiquette. Even if there were any grudges, he shouldn't sweep the other party's face at his own celebration party.
Everyone who came was a guest!
But Lu Chen believed that Lin Zhijie must have a reason.
Without batting an eyelid, he withdrew his hand.
Wu Sheng was still smiling as if he didn't care at all. He said, "Of course I don't mind. You guys talk."
He turned to Lu Chen and said, "Mr. Lu, let's talk later."
Lu Chen smiled and nodded.
In a situation where the truth was unknown, maintaining basic courtesy was the most appropriate choice.
After Wu Sheng left, Lin Zhijie snorted as he watched him leave. He pulled Lu Chen to the side and reminded him, "This person is very dishonest. Very few people who work with him come out unscathed. His reputation in the industry is ruined, so it's best not to have any dealings with him."
So that was how it was!
Lu Chen nodded to show that he understood.
He knew that Lin Zhijie would not speak ill of others behind their backs. He reminded him out of kindness.
However, Lu Chen was also very curious. "Then why did you invite him over?"
Lin Zhijie said helplessly, "Someone in our company is very familiar with him, so we gave him an invitation …"
The bigger the company, the more complicated the situation. The water in the entertainment industry was even more bottomless.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of offending him?"
Lin Zhijie said disdainfully, "Why should I be afraid of him? By the way, he has a very good relationship with Jin Hongwei. "
Jin Hongwei?
Lu Chen hadn't heard of this name for a long time, but he would never forget it.
The grudge between him and Jin Hongwei was very deep.
Just this point alone was enough for Lu Chen to keep a respectful distance from Wu Sheng. He didn't want to get involved with him.
However, he had already remembered this person.
Seeing that Lu Chen understood his good intentions, Lin Zhijie was also happy. He waved and said, "Little Mu, come here …"
He called the three beautiful girls over.
In fact, Mu Xiaochu had been following behind. Seeing Lin Zhijie's gesture, they all stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Chen. They bowed and said, "Thank you, Teacher Lu!"
They were sincerely grateful to Lu Chen.
Whether it was Mu Xiaochu, Su Jiajia or Ning Tian, they were all unknown students or newcomers a few months ago.
Now, MSN has become a rapidly popular girl group.
Not to mention the benefits, just walking on the street, the probability of them being recognized was 100%!
Lin Zhijie said that the person they needed to thank the most was Lu Chen.
In the pop music industry, there has always been the saying "one song becomes famous". A classic song can make a newcomer popular. Although there is still a need for publicity and packaging, there is no hard work to rely on, and hype can only succeed for a while.
There are many girl groups like MSN who take the youth idol route in China. Flying Stone Records has set up two. However, most of the girl groups are either disbanded or struggling half-dead, and there are very few who really succeed.
Some of the members of these girl groups are not worse than MSN, but they did not achieve the success of MSN. The reason, in addition to resource input, luck, timing, etc., was that the most important thing was that there were no good songs that could be sung in the streets.
Good songs and good singers complement each other!
The reason why the album "Not Yet Lovers" was so popular was that the promotion of Flying Stone Records contributed a lot, but more importantly, Lu Chen tailored and produced three songs for MSN, including the title song.
From the evaluation of fans and listeners, it was "Not Yet Lovers", "Where's Love" and "He Still Doesn't Understand" that made this album have the quality and potential of platinum and won the love of countless people.
In the latest issue of the Original Music Chart, all three songs were ranked in the top 20!
Among the other works in the same album, only one barely squeezed into the chart, and it was still at the bottom.
Lu Chen's star holding skill can be seen at a glance.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Why are you so polite? I didn't bring a red envelope. "
To participate in this celebration, Lu Xi sent a pair of flower baskets in the name of Lu Chen Studio, which were placed at the door.
He was already very familiar with the three beautiful girls, and their relationship was very good after cooperation.
There was really no need to be so polite.
Mu Xiaochu and the other two straightened up, looking a little bashful. They looked at each other, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lu Chen was curious: "What's wrong?"
Lin Zhijie coughed and said, "It's like this. The children just had an idea, that is, to take advantage of this celebration to formally worship you as their teacher. What do you think?"
Lu Chen was suddenly stunned.
He hadn't been in the entertainment industry for a long time, but he still had a good understanding of the various rules in the circle.
Whether it was in the pop music world or the entertainment industry, worshiping a teacher was a very serious matter. It was definitely not a joke. Both sides had corresponding responsibilities and obligations.
If MSN worshiped Lu Chen as a teacher, then he and the three girls in front of him would be deeply involved.
Mu Xiaochu, Su Jiajia and Ning Tian bit their lips and looked at Lu Chen without blinking. Their eyes all showed a look of expectation, and some of their pretty faces showed a touch of shyness.
To be honest, the temptation was really great!
Lu Chen shook his head and said with a smile, "Brother Zhijie, I regard Xiaochu and the others as my younger sisters. Let's forget about formally worshiping a teacher."
He knew that the idea of worshiping a teacher was most likely Lin Zhijie's idea, and it was probably a temporary idea.
Otherwise, Lin Zhijie would definitely have communicated with him in advance.
This idea was actually very good, and it was good for both sides.
With the relationship of master and apprentice, then for MSN's next album, Lu Chen had to do it even if he didn't want to, and he also had to ensure the quality and sales. Otherwise, he would lose face.
On the other hand, with a disciple like MSN, Lu Chen's position in the circle would undoubtedly improve Big.
The more popular MSN was, the higher his position would be!
For example, if others wanted to ask Lu Chen for a song, they didn't need him to open his mouth. They had to put forward a price tag first.
The reference for the price tag was bound to be MSN.
The most important thing was that the next time Lu Chen made an album for MSN, he would be able to ask for a share of the profits.
Of course, correspondingly, Lu Chen would be more deeply tied to Flying Stone Records.
And it was precisely this that made him decline Lin Zhijie's proposal and not fall into the temptation of beautiful girls.
From the beginning to the end, Lu Chen wanted to take the road of an independent and free big star.
He didn't want to be tied down.
Lu Chen's refusal was not unexpected to Lin Zhijie. The music director of Flying Stone Records was more or less disappointed, because he really wanted to pull Lu Chen into his own camp.
However, Lin Zhijie didn't care too much. He just wanted to give it a try. It was a great thing to succeed, but he didn't need to be discouraged if he failed, and it wouldn't affect the relationship between the two sides.
Lin Zhijie even admired Lu Chen.
A hot-blooded young man like him could actually resist MSN's plea. His will was really firm.
Lin Zhijie settled for the next best thing: "Well, but you have to take care of a few younger sisters in the future!"
Lu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother Zhijie, just don't try your best to cheat me."
None of the veterans in the entertainment industry were simple. Lin Zhijie's character was very good, but he also had his own calculations, but he would not do things at the expense of others for his own benefit.
Lin Zhijie smiled: "What are you talking about? Fei 'er and I are good friends. How can I cheat you!"
The relationship between Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er could be hidden from outsiders, but it was not a secret to people in the circle.
Everyone just had a tacit understanding.
If anyone deliberately revealed it, they would offend more people. This was one of the rules in the circle.
Lin Zhijie had a good relationship with Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er, so it was no problem to make jokes.
It was just that when Mu Xiaochu listened, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
Lu Chen's love for her was completely the kind of brother's love for his sister, and nothing else was involved.
She liked Lu Chen, but it was not that simple.
Lin Zhijie could see that when he asked MSN to acknowledge Lu Chen as their master, he actually wanted her to give up.
This was unspeakable.
Of course, the protagonist tonight was still MSN. At 7: 30, the celebration party officially began.
As usual, the senior representative of Flying Stone Records first came to the stage to give a speech.
Fortunately, there was not much nonsense.
The ceremony was quite grand and filled with a happy and festive atmosphere. The three beautiful girls of MSN appeared on the stage with warm music accompaniment and sang "Not Yet Lovers" to the guests at the scene.
Compared with their inexperience when they were just formed, their singing and dancing skills had made great progress.
After the song was sung, the audience burst into thunderous applause!
