It was still early. Lu Chen took out his mobile phone, opened the address book, and called Wang Jing of Nirvana Studios.
He was going to let the other party do the live accompaniment for the opening of Senqi's flagship store in Beijing.
Originally, Lu Chen had contracted these businesses to Flying Stone Records, but this time, he didn't have much work. In addition, Wang Jing borrowed money from him last time. It should be that Nirvana Studios had a problem with its operation, so he would help if he could.
After all, the two sides used to cooperate very happily.
As a result, the phone rang a dozen times, but no one answered, and then it went to voicemail.
Lu Chen didn't care and called Wang Changsheng again.
The other party turned off his phone.
This time, Lu Chen was a little puzzled. Although it was only the sixth day of the first lunar month, it was impossible for Nirvana Studios not to have opened yet. It should be known that the first lunar month was often the best time for music production units.
He thought about it and simply went straight to Nirvana Studios.
It was in the same park, and it was only a 10-minute walk from here to there.
When he arrived at the floor where Nirvana was located, as soon as the elevator door opened, Lu Chen saw a scene of chaos!
The door of the studio was open, and various tables, chairs, benches, and cardboard boxes were piled up in the doorway. Inside, people in blue work uniforms were busy, as if they were moving.
Wang Jing, Wang Hui, and the three members of the Nirvana band were standing in the corner of the door. They were either holding instruments or big boxes in their hands, and all of them looked lost.
Seeing such a scene, Lu Chen couldn't help but be surprised. He hurriedly walked over and asked, "Wang Jing, Wang Hui, what happened to your studio? Are you going to move? "
"Brother Lu Chen …"
Wang Hui squeezed out an ugly smile and said, "Our studio is over."
Over?
Lu Chen was stunned. He knew that Nirvana Studios's business had not been very good, but it was barely able to keep going. Moreover, this studio was the culmination of Wang Changsheng's family's efforts. How could it end just like that?
Wang Jing's face was pale. She twisted her hands and said in a low voice, "Lu Chen, I owe you money …"
"Let's not talk about this!"
Lu Chen interrupted her, "Tell me what's going on!"
When he was working on the album "You Who Sat Next To Me", he worked at Nirvana Studios for a long time and had a good relationship with Wang Jing and Wang Hui. Later, he ended the cooperation because he needed to improve the quality of his work.
The equipment and foundation of Nirvana Studios were still lacking.
However, during that collaboration, Lu Chen learned a lot from Wang Jing and got along well with his peers.
They were young, enthusiastic, full of drive and enthusiasm, full of expectations for the future.
So now that he heard that Nirvana Studios was over, Lu Chen also felt uncomfortable and uneasy and wanted to ask what was going on.
Wang Hui glanced at his sister timidly and then explained the reason to Lu Chen.
It turned out that a month ago, Wang Changsheng received a big contract, the kind that was quite profitable. If done well, the studio could last for a year, but the initial investment was relatively large.
In order to get this contract, he raised money everywhere without discussing it with Wang Hui and Wang Jing. He even mortgaged his studio's equipment to raise 700,000 yuan to invest in the project.
As a result, he never expected that the other party turned out to be a group of swindlers who set a trap for Wang Changsheng. All the investments were naturally wasted, and the creditors came to the door again.
Suffering such a heavy blow, Wang Changsheng fell ill directly and was still in the hospital.
And Nirvana Studios naturally could not be kept. It was not enough to pay off all the assets to others!
Such a thing actually happened …
Lu Chen didn't know what to say. The business world was like a battlefield. A little carelessness could lead to total annihilation.
After all, Wang Changsheng was not experienced enough to be cheated, but these swindlers were really hateful!
He asked, "Have you called the police?"
Wang Hui nodded and said, "Yes, we are not the only studio that was cheated. The police have filed a case, but the people have long run away. The money in the bank account has been transferred, and it is difficult to recover the loss."
He looked sad. "The money can be transferred again, but my father …"
Lu Chen reached out and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him. "You are here, is there anyone taking care of Uncle Wang?"
Wang Hui said, "My mother is with him. He is fine, but he is mainly worried."
At this time, Wang Jing interrupted and said, "Lu Chen, I will find a way to pay you back the money I owe you as soon as possible!"
Her expression was very determined, the kind that would not be happy until she got it back.
Wang Hui's face turned red. "Sister, let's pay it back together!"
Lu Chen thought about it and said, "If you want to pay me back as soon as possible, I have a way."
Wang Jing opened her eyes wide. "What way?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Come to my studio. I will give you a base salary of 10,000 yuan plus performance rewards. It will be paid back soon."
Wang Jing graduated from the Composition Department of Beijing Conservatory of Music and has some work experience. All the arrangements of the album "You Who Sat Next To Me" were basically done by her. Her talent and strength are quite excellent.
Lu Chen always felt that she was buried in Nirvana Studios.
In the past, Lu Chen had no idea of poaching at all, but now Nirvana Studios is a thing of the past.
"Ah!"
Wang Jing whispered. She didn't expect Lu Chen to invite her to work in his studio.
Lu Chen turned his head and said to Wang Hui, "How about you and the Nirvana band come and help me? The treatment will be good, and I can build you another recording studio, a real professional recording studio! "
He has long had the idea of forming his own band and building a recording studio. Although outsourcing saves money and trouble, after all, he can't complete his own music ideas at will on other people's territory.
In fact, it's a matter of money. It costs at least millions to build a professional recording studio, which ordinary small companies can't afford.
But for the current Lu Chen, it's really not a problem.
His proposal now is tantamount to merging all the people of Nirvana Studios!
Wang Hui was overjoyed: "Lu Chen, do you really want to invite us?"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Of course it's true, and to build a recording studio, I will give you a five million equipment budget!"
Wang Hui's saliva came down: "Five million equipment budget …"
He is a typical technical geek and has an obsession with audio electronic equipment that others can't understand.
The five million equipment budget is enough for him to build a studio of his dreams. It should be known that the equipment budget does not include the cost of the studio decoration – which is also an amazing expense.
Lu Chen asked the other three members of the Nirvana band, "What do you think?"
The three looked at each other and then looked at Wang Jing.
Wang Jing bit her lip and didn't speak.
She knows very well that for Nirvana Studios and the Nirvana band, joining Lu Chen Studio is the best result. Everyone doesn't have to disband and look for a new job, and they don't have to worry about maintaining their lives.
If Lu Chen was just a small role in the entertainment circle half a year ago, then he has gradually grown into a towering tree and is someone who can really be relied on.
Lu Chen said that he will give Wang Hui a five million equipment budget, which is certainly not a discount.
He has such strength.
The eyes of the three members of the Nirvana band are all willing, but they respect Wang Jing's wishes.
After a moment of silence, Wang Jing sighed secretly in her heart and nodded with a smile.
"Hooray!"
Wang Hui was the first to shout. The haze on the faces of the Nirvana band members was swept away and they were all very excited.
If possible, they don't want to be separated. Now the way out is really great!
Lu Chen said, "I should have gone to see Uncle Wang, but now I have a work that needs to be arranged. It will be performed live tomorrow night, accompanied by a live band. Can you help me?"
He stared at Wang Jing, who nodded again.
Wang Hui has an opinion: "Brother Lu Chen, but most of our instruments are also locked."
Several members of the Nirvana band smiled bitterly. They could only bring out two guitars and a bass.
They were all personal equipment that they had bought before.
The Nirvana band has a total of four members, lead singer/guitarist Wang Jing, bassist Ouyang He, keyboardist Wen Yuan and drummer Yang Xiaoyi. They are all around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, which is a very young team.
But the professional level of this band is good, and they have done a very good job of accompanying Lu Chen's works before.
Otherwise, Lu Chen would not have invited them to join him with great sincerity.
In fact, it is a matter of course for a singer-songwriter like him to form a band, and a live band and an accompaniment are two completely different things, giving the audience a completely different feeling.
With Lu Chen's current status and fame in the circle, it is not a problem to recruit a stronger lineup than the Nirvana band, but stronger is not necessarily better.
And the Nirvana band is young enough and has unlimited growth potential!
He smiled and said, "It's simple. We'll go buy it now and buy whatever we lack!"
Now no one has anything to say.
With limited time, Lu Chen acted quickly. He asked Wang Hui to report to his studio first, and then drove the Nirvana band to buy musical instruments and equipment – choose what you need!
With Lu Chen's backing, it didn't take too much time to buy musical instruments. Including Wang Jing, the members of the Nirvana band picked out their favorite equipment.
Lu Chen also asked his sister to rent a temporary business car to facilitate the moving of musical instruments and personnel.
That night, he and Wang Jing completed the arrangement of the new work together.
Time is too tight to do it very carefully, but there is no problem in dealing with tomorrow's endorsement event.
February 14, Valentine's Day, the members of the re-formed and renamed New Nirvana band, no one cared about this romantic holiday. Everyone began to rehearse Lu Chen's new song.
New team, new members, new works and new instruments, but the first cooperation went surprisingly smoothly.
At 3 p.m., the Nirvana band set off for the scene.
