Zhang Xuedong was 46 years old this year. He was tall and sturdy, with a dignified appearance. He was a powerful figure in Tian Hua Company. He was in charge of two key departments, the Publicity Department and the Music Department.
"Liang Zi, your request is very difficult for me to do. The songs on Xiao Yunhai's album were all written by him. The copyright is also with him. Unless he agrees, it will be very difficult for us to get it from him. "
The young man sitting opposite him was called Zhang Liang. He was a distant relative of Zhang Xuedong. With Zhang Xuedong's help, he became a contracted singer of Tian Hua Company. A few years ago, he was popular for a while, but now he basically disappeared. At most, he went outside to do some commercial performances.
A few days ago, he heard from Lin Yuying that the company was making a new album for Xiao Yunhai, and it was a classic. So he found his uncle Zhang Xuedong, hoping to get two songs from Xiao Yunhai's album to make him popular again.
"Uncle, what's wrong with that? You're the company's vice president, and he's just a newcomer. Even if he ate a leopard's gall, he wouldn't dare to refuse your request. Besides, we just want two songs from him. Since he's such a genius, why not let him write two more songs? What do you think? "
Zhang Xuedong frowned. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's do this. I'll call Director Wang and see what he has to say."
Zhang Liang's father once saved Zhang Xuedong's life. For this, he even paid the price of a leg. So Zhang Xuedong loved Zhang Liang very much. If it were someone else who made such a request, Zhang Xuedong would have already kicked him out.
"Teacher Wang, are you still busy?"
"Is it Director Zhang? Hello. I'm doing the post-production for Xiao Yunhai's album. These songs are all good songs. Even if they were handed over to Old Monster Yue, I wouldn't feel at ease. So when I was free, I came here personally. What's the matter? "
Zhang Xuedong said tentatively, "Teacher Wang, I want to discuss something with you. I think that Xiao Yunhai's ten songs are all top and even classic songs. If you put them all in one album, wouldn't it be a pity? After all, our company has a lot of singers. "
"Mr. Zhang, I understand what you mean. However, now that Xiao Yunhai's ten songs have been recorded, he can't tell him that the company wants two songs from him. That would be too unreasonable. Besides, these songs were all written by him, so I'm too embarrassed to ask. "
"What if Xiao Yunhai agrees?"
"Then there's definitely no problem. However, I don't think this kid will agree. "
"Alright, Mr. Wang, I got it."
Zhang Xuedong put down the phone and said to Zhang Liang, "Liang, the key point of the matter is still Xiao Yunhai."
Zhang Liang said, "Then I'll go find him."
Zhang Xuedong nodded and exhorted, "Remember, you're going to ask for help this time, so you need to keep your bad temper in check. Xiao Yunhai is a genius artist and a Golden Goblet Award winner. You have to be more polite. Even if you can't, don't offend him. "
Zhang Liang agreed verbally, but his heart was somewhat disapproving. Isn't he just lucky to win the Golden Goblet Award? What's so great about that?
Walking out of Zhang Xuedong's office, Zhang Liang bumped into Lin Yuying and her agent, Yang Longlong.
"Brother Zhang, where are you going?"
Zhang Liang said, "I'm going to find Xiao Yunhai to ask for songs."
Lin Yuying's eyes lit up and said, "Then, Brother Zhang, you have to be careful. Xiao Yunhai isn't someone who respects his seniors. A few days ago, I was put on the spot by him. Now that he has won the Golden Goblet Award, his arrogance will be even more rampant. I think you'd better not go, lest you get scolded by him. "
"He dares." Zhang Liang glared and said arrogantly, "In our company, I haven't seen a newcomer who dares not give me, Zhang Liang, face. Isn't it just two songs? I'm giving him face by asking him for it. "
Lin Yuying smiled sweetly and flattered, "That's right, that's right. Look at my mouth, I can't speak. Like I said, Brother Zhang is President Zhang's man. Even if Xiao Yunhai has the guts, he won't dare to refuse you. Then I'll wait for your good news. You have to treat me when it's done. "
Zhang Liang chuckled and said, "Okay, no problem."
Lin Yuying looked at Zhang Liang's disappearing figure with a smile. She suddenly snorted and said disdainfully, "What an idiot. He really thinks he's a green onion. If it weren't for Zhang Xuedong's face, who would care about him? "
Yang Longlong said with a smile, "Yuying, your means are really brilliant. You've caused such a big trouble for that kid without saying a word. "
"Hmph, who told Xiao Yunhai to provoke me. People like Zhang Liang have always been unable to do anything right. Just wait and see, how long can Xiao Yunhai be arrogant? "
Through his connections, Zhang Liang quickly found Xiao Yunhai, who was shooting the MV.
"Xiao Yunhai, I'm Zhang Liang, a singer from our company. You're in luck. I took a fancy to two songs from your album. Sell them to me. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. How about 500,000 yuan for two songs? This is already a very high price. "
Zhang Liang looked at Xiao Yunhai with an arrogant expression, waiting for the other party's reply.
Before this, Wang Lin secretly called Xiao Yunhai and told him that someone was thinking about his songs. He didn't expect that the other party would come so fast. He came in less than an hour, and his tone was so tough.
Originally, he promised Wang Lin on the phone that he would explain to the person who came. But seeing the other party's aloof expression, Xiao Yunhai's heart was filled with anger, and his words were also very cold.
"I'm sorry, I don't know you. Also, this is the MV shooting site. Please leave and don't disturb our work. "
Zhang Liang was stunned, as if he had heard a joke. He pointed to Xiao Yunhai and said, "You don't even know me. You're really a newcomer."
After these days of shooting, Lv Pengfei and Xiao Yunhai had become good friends. He was worried that Xiao Yunhai would suffer if he didn't know Zhang Liang's identity, so he came to Xiao Yunhai and whispered to him, "He's the distant nephew of the company's vice president, Zhang Xuedong. He's a typical second generation. In the past few years, President Zhang spent a lot of effort, but he didn't cultivate him. He's the kind of person who can't be dragged up the wall. However, it's better if you don't offend him. After all, he has President Zhang behind him. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and gave Lv Pengfei a grateful look.
Zhang Liang said proudly, "Xiao Yunhai, what do you think?"
Xiao Yunhai's eyes narrowed slightly. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said expressionlessly, "I spent a lot of effort on this album. I won't promise you. However, when there's a chance in the future, I can tailor a song for you. "
For Xiao Yunhai to be able to say such words was already the limit of what he could endure.
If it weren't for the fact that he was a newcomer and didn't want to fall out with the company's senior management like Zhang Xuedong, he would have driven Zhang Liang away with his temper.
However, in this case, his answer made Zhang Liang very dissatisfied.
"I don't want to wait for the future. Don't find excuses to brush me off. Let's talk about it. Are you selling it or not? "
When Xiao Yunhai heard Zhang Liang's words, he couldn't control his temper, so he said resolutely, "I'm not selling it."
Zhang Liang listened and said coldly, "Xiao Yunhai, don't think that the new album is too simple. Even if you can produce it, you may not be able to release it. I don't know how many newcomers like you I've seen. They are all arrogant and don't know how to respect their seniors. They think that they are everything, but in the end, they all become inferior goods. I'll give you another chance. Are you going to give it or not? "
Xiao Yunhai was so angry that he laughed and said, "Why are you so annoying? I already said that I'm not selling it. What are you talking about here? This is the MV shooting site. If you don't have any business, then get out of here. I don't have so much time to play with you. "
Offending a colleague was a very unwise thing for a newcomer like Xiao Yunhai, but the other party's words were too much. If he didn't fight back in this case, it would seem a bit cowardly.
Besides, once he agreed to Zhang Liang's unreasonable request today, it was estimated that Li Liang and Wang Liang would come over tomorrow to ask for songs. At that time, would Xiao Yunhai still have to compromise? Therefore, driving Zhang Liang away could be regarded as killing the chicken to warn the monkey, so that those who had bad intentions would think twice.
"Good, very good. No wonder Lin Yuying said that you are very arrogant and domineering. Xiao Yunhai, let's wait and see. "After that, Zhang Liang left angrily.
The last sentence he left attracted Xiao Yunhai's attention.
"Lin Yuying?" Xiao Yunhai narrowed his eyes and said in his heart, "It seems that Lin Yuying's shadow is behind this matter."
Zhang Liang returned to the company with an ashen face. Just as he entered the door, he met Lin Yuying again.
Lin Yuying saw Zhang Liang's ashen face and knew that Zhang Liang must have returned empty-handed, but she said, "Brother Zhang, how was it? The matter was done, right? I told you this news. When the song becomes popular, you have to treat me to a meal. "
Zhang Liang listened to Lin Yuying's words and showed an ugly expression. He said self-deprecatingly, "I'm the Golden Goblet Award's best newcomer. I, Zhang Liang, am just a has-been star. How will I be given face? "After that, he went straight to Zhang Xuedong's office.
Lin Yuying showed a proud expression and said in her heart, "Xiao Yunhai, you can offend anyone, but you have to offend me. Hmph, let's see if you can sell this album. "
Zhang Liang came to Zhang Xuedong's office. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. After getting permission, he walked in with an aggrieved expression.
Seeing that there was no one in the office, Zhang Liang cried and complained, "Uncle, you have to back me up. I went to Xiao Yunhai and tried to persuade him, but who knew that what I got in return was a sarcastic remark. He said that I'm just a has-been singer and that it's just a daydream for me to get the songs written by him. He also said that I'm some rich second generation. If I didn't have a backer, it would be impossible for me to sign with our company. Finally, he told me to get the hell out of here and not disturb him from shooting the MV. Uncle, I don't have any ability, but I'm your nephew after all. He went too far by saying that. "
Zhang Xuedong said doubtfully, "Did Xiao Yunhai really say that? How can a newcomer not know the rules? "
