After the eighth day of the first lunar month, Big and small companies in Beijing have opened for business.
Of course, Flying Stone Records was no exception, but the "Celebrate the Spring Festival" banner was still hung on the porch on the ground floor of the building. A row of long red lanterns still exuded the festive atmosphere of the New Year, and the ground was still red from the explosion of firecrackers.
Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er came together, and Lin Zhijie and a vice president of Flying Stone Records greeted them at the door in person.
Such a courtesy made Lu Chen secretly feel strange.
He and Chen Fei 'er and Lin Zhijie were friends. The two sides often came to Flying Stone Records and were very familiar with each other. Moreover, it wasn't the first or second time that they came to Flying Stone Records. Even if Lu Chen's status has improved a lot now, there's no need to be so formal and grand, right?
Must there be a request for courtesy?
Lu Chen thought in his heart, and asked with a smile, "Big Brother Lin, why are you so polite? I'll be embarrassed to visit next time! "
Chen Fei 'er also said with a smile, "Yes, Big Brother Lin is too polite."
Lin Zhijie laughed and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome. You two are the first group of distinguished guests this year. Of course, it should be grand. I haven't congratulated Lu Chen on winning the Best Newcomer and Best Composition Awards. It's a pity that it's not now!"
As the music director of Flying Stone Records, Lin Zhijie was of course eligible to participate in the [Asian Chinese Music Chart] award ceremony, but he just came back from abroad yesterday, so he couldn't catch up with the party.
Of course, it was not too late to send congratulations now.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Thank you."
The group of people chatted and laughed and came to the conference room of Flying Stone Records.
Because Chen Fei 'er had been notified in advance, Flying Stone Records was already ready. Many of the key members of the record company were already sitting in the conference room, and the LCD TV on the wall also showed the words "Chen Fei' er's new album" Woman Flower "production seminar".
Seeing Lu Chen, Chen Fei'er and others coming in, these elites of Flying Stone Records got up to greet them.
Flying Stone Records attaches great importance to Chen Fei'er's transformational work and strives to make a good start in 2016. Therefore, they have formed a capable force headed by Lin Zhijie to be responsible for the production and distribution of the new album.
"Woman Flower" was the name of the new album. This song was tailor-made by Lu Chen for Chen Fei'er, and it was also the title song of the album. According to the plan, the music video would be shot next week for pre-promotion.
Todays small meeting was to discuss the production, publicity and other work of the album. Because Chen Fei'er has his own independent studio, and the new album was outsourced to Flying Stone Records, there must be a lot of cooperation problems.
In addition, Lu Chen had joined the team, so all aspects needed to be coordinated.
In addition to Lu Chen, Chen Fei'er and Lin Zhijie, there were also the producers, songwriters, arrangers, recording studio, publicity and so on of Flying Stone Records.
The meeting lasted for almost two hours before it ended, and the atmosphere was friendly and warm.
Lu Chen didn't speak much, but no one dared to ignore his existence. He alone was responsible for the creation of half of the album, and he was also responsible for the co-arrangement and supervision, which was even more important than Lin Zhijie.
After the meeting, Lin Zhijie took Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er to his office.
The music director of Flying Stone Records personally made coffee for the two of them.
The coffee he used was excellent, with a rich and mellow taste. The strange thing was that there was not much bitterness, and it tasted particularly smooth.
Although Lu Chen was not an expert in tasting coffee, he could taste the extraordinariness.
In contrast, Chen Fei'er was more knowledgeable. After taking a few sips, she was quite moved: "Big Brother Lin, is this authentic Blue Mountain Coffee?"
Lin Zhijie said with a smile, "Yes, I just brought back Blue Mountain Coffee from Japan. There are only two pounds. If you like it, take one pound back when you leave."
Blue Mountain Coffee was one of the best coffee in the world, but it was also the most counterfeited coffee brand. In China, it was ruined like pearl milk tea. In any city, you could casually walk into a coffee shop, and you could order a cup of so-called Blue Mountain Coffee that cost dozens of yuan.
In fact, the annual output of this kind of coffee from Blue Mountain in Jamaica does not exceed 100 tons, and most of it is supplied to European and American countries, and there are very few domestic imports.
Because the Japanese have invested a lot in the industrial chain of Blue Mountain Coffee, they have obtained a lot of market share, so authentic Blue Mountain Coffee can still be bought in Japan, but the price has been hyped very much.
"One pound?"
Chen Fei'er pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Big Brother Lin is too polite. If you have something to say, just say it."
As smart as she was, how could she not see that Lin Zhijie had something to ask of her, so she was extraordinarily polite.
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Fei'er …"
Lin Zhijie was not embarrassed to be seen through. He said with a smile, "In fact, it's not my business. I just want to ask Lu Chen, do you have any plans to shoot a new TV series this year?"
Lu Chen suddenly understood that Flying Stone Records was also eyeing his new play.
The great success of "Autumn in My Heart" made Lu Chen a hot figure in the film and television circle in just a few months. The 20-episode urban romance drama premiered on Haijin Satellite TV and created the highest ratings record of the same type of TV series in recent years, and made many newcomers, including Lu Chen himself, popular.
For example, Hu Yang, who played the first male supporting role of Han Taixi, and Zhang Liwei, who played the first female supporting role of Cui Xinai, were both artists who had debuted for a long time. But before the broadcast of "Autumn in My Heart", how many people had heard of the names of these two?
Now Hu Yang's commercial performance started at 200,000 yuan, and the brand endorsement was at least 3 million yuan. His value had skyrocketed dozens of times, and he was busy with advertisements, which made many of his peers envious and jealous.
There were also Zhang Junzhi and Ye Mingmei, who played the role of Junxi and Eunhee when they were young, who also became famous overnight.
As for Qiande Brothers Pictures, which invested in the filming of "Autumn in My Heart", it was even more prosperous.
The success of "Autumn in My Heart" was really a miracle. It had a great influence in and out of the circle, and the ratings of the first episode of the replay on Beijing Television and Zhedong Satellite TV both exceeded 1%, which was enough to prove that the popularity of the show had not diminished.
Under such circumstances, Lu Chen's new play this year has become one of the focuses of attention in the circle. Many people in the industry think that Lu Chen is likely to shoot the second part of "Autumn in My Heart".
After the New Year, the phones of Lu Xi and Lu Chen Studio were almost blown up by people. There was an endless stream of people who came to the door to seek cooperation and recommend artists. Even many stars also inquired about the news through various channels.
Even Chen Fei'er was harassed a lot because of this – her relationship with Lu Chen was not a secret in the circle.
It was normal for Flying Stone Records to also come to join in the fun.
Lu Chen said, "Big Brother Lin, since you want to ask me, shouldn't this coffee be given to me?"
Of course, Lu Chen was joking.
As a result, Lin Zhijie gave him a mocking look – is there any difference between giving it to Chen Fei'er and giving it to you? Is there?
Well, there is no difference!
Lu Chen sighed and said, "The plan is to start preparing next month. If everything goes well, filming will probably start in April."
Lin Zhijie's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it the second part of" Autumn in My Heart "?"
Lu Chen shook his head: "No, I won't make a sequel to this play. I have an idea for a new play."
Even Chen Fei'er was interested: "What's the content of the story?"
Lu Chen told her about the new play, but it didn't involve specific things, such as the outline of the story.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "It's a secret for the time being, but the play will not be a tragedy again. You are still the heroine."
Chen Fei'er gave him a white look, but her heart was sweet and happy.
Due to unforeseen consequences, Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er haven't made their relationship public for the time being, but they don't intend to hide it for a long time. The best way is to let fans accept their relationship through this subtle influence. (TN: That's right.)
After "Autumn in My Heart" was broadcasted, in the eyes of many fans, the two were the best CP combination.
"Your career is getting bigger and bigger …"
Lin Zhijie sighed heartily. As one of the four judges of "Singing China", he could be said to have watched Lu Chen become famous all the way to the present.
The musicdirector of Flying Stone Records said, "Your sister told me that you intend to change the studio's location?"
Lu Chen replied frankly, "Yes, I merged a music studio and am going to build a high-specification recording studio. The place I rented now is too small. If there is a suitable place here, it would be best."
"A man who makes music should have his own recording studio!"
Lin Zhijie said with a smile, "That's what my mentor once told me. I really envy you."
"You're also very lucky. I know a friend who has opened a large art studio here. Now he intends to transfer half of the site. The sublease fee is not cheap, but it's enough to accommodate your new studio."
"Is this good news?"
Lu Chen was surprised: "Really?"
He didn't expect to be able to take root in the art park. The property here was too popular, and there was no spare space at all, so even if he shared it with others, it would be lucky.
Lin Zhijie is a professional. If he says it's enough, it must be enough.
Lin Zhijie nodded: "Of course it's true. It's also a coincidence that my friend needs money recently. Otherwise, he would never be willing to divide half of his territory."
"There's no time like the present. Since you're here today, I'll bring you over to talk to him now."
Lu Chen was grateful: "Thank you, Big Brother Lin. I really troubled you."
He was secretly admiring in his heart. Lin Zhijie just asked him if he had any plans to shoot a new drama. After asking, he no longer said what he thought, but first proposed to help.
In this way, once the matchmaking was successful, he would owe him a favor.
Lin Zhijie's way of dealing with people was very quiet, which was worth learning.
Of course, Lu Chen himself was also very happy, and deeply felt the importance of networking.
Without Lin Zhijie, if others wanted to sublease the venue, he wouldn't even get the news, let alone talk about it.
