Spy War 1929

Chapter 111 Famous

Fang Yanyun became angry, to be precise, it should be angry again.

In Ye Weiyang's "Ye Shanghai", the words Fang Yanyun once again resounded throughout Shanghai.

Fang Yanyun was previously known as the No. [-] courtesan in Shanghai. This name contained irony, not only the irony implied by the three words "social butterfly", but also the irony of the two words "number one".

The industry of dancing girls and singing girls is looked down upon by serious people, and Fang Yanyun, in the field of dancing and singing girls, is also quite critical of her, and there are always some gossip behind her.

It's okay to be a mud swallow together in the old nest, but if anyone flies up the branch and turns into a phoenix, it's unbearable.

Fang Yanyun climbed up to Feng Jingyao, and transformed from a little dancer on the dance floor into a famous lady in Shanghai, saving her hard work on the way, which was really hard for her peers to accept.

Naturally, her name as Shanghai's No. [-] courtesan was tinged with irony.

To become recognized as the No. [-] courtesan, one needs to bring out some real things, just relying on men, which is also looked down upon in this industry.

Just like those actresses and singers, there is no work that can be sold, relying on unspoken rules, even if they have the title of actor and song queen, it will only increase the jokes!

This song "Night Shanghai" has now become Fang Yanyun's best work, and it is also a work after the cover.Even Ye Weiyang followed this song and instantly became the most famous dance hall in Shanghai.

Ye Weiyang's name is no longer limited to the French Concession, and the word "most famous" is not followed by one of them.

This is already the third day since Fang Yanyun sang on stage. In the past two days, Fang Yanyun's name has been frequently published in major Shanghai newspapers along with the song "Ye Shanghai", Dajing Daily, Shanghai Poster, and Star Daily. Her name even appeared on the declaration.

However, the report is mainly about the lyrics of the song Ye Shanghai, and the space about Fang Yanyun is less. This may be the confidence of the report as a major newspaper!However, the name of Chen Ledao's lyricist was briefly reported above.

Before that, Fang Yanyun was the number one courtesan, but there were many people whose reputations were not inferior to her, such as two characters in the film industry, Hu Die and Ruan Lingyu!
These two mainly make movies. Compared with Fang Yanyun, these two are people who have their own works.Pick one out of the two at random, and the reputation is not less than Fang Yanyun.Only because someone like Feng Jingyao stood behind Fang Yanyun, she was able to overwhelm her.

Now that "Night Shanghai" comes out, Fang Yanyun's originally vague reputation seems to be becoming real. In the future, it seems that the traffic star will become a powerful faction.

This is really good news!

Fang Yanyun now accepts her status as a "social butterfly", and no longer thinks of herself as aloof based on her previous experience.It was easier to see it, and after seeing her name frequently appearing in several major newspapers, the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

This may be the same as the stars of later generations see their names listed on the hot search list every day. What they see is not a name, but a steady stream of money.

Fang Yanyun let go of the arrogance in her heart, and she no longer disliked common things like money.Now that she is famous, oceans will flood towards her in a steady stream.

Although Chen Ledao never told her about the money, no one has ever accounted for her expenses in Ye Weiyang.But after experiencing Feng Jingyao's incident, Fang Yanyun kept her mind on it, no matter what, the only way to rest assured was that the money fell into her own hands.

What Ye Weiyang gave her was [-] oceans a month, and in Wei Zhengyun's place, naturally, there would be no such thing as dividing into exploiting capitalists.

Brothers settle accounts clearly, and the prospective proprietress is no exception!Wei Zhengyun made this point very clear, he believed that the boss would not have any objections to him on this matter.

A career is a career, and a woman is a woman!The boss's little thoughtfulness, he, Wei Zhengyun, can handle it to death!

Two thousand oceans a month is already the real maximum salary in the industry of singers and dancers, and movie stars such as Hu Die and Ruan Lingyu, who are as famous as Fang Yanyun, are also paid at this price.Fang Yanyun is satisfied with the current price.

Now that her reputation is gradually established, she has more confidence in managing a group of waitresses and those singers and dancers in Yeweiyang.

After dealing with the chores in the arresting room, Chen Ledao came to Ye Weiyang again.

He was really busy these two days, even Hector, who was eager to open a dance hall, didn't bother him.

Whether it is Chen Hanlin or him, neither of them has ever engaged in the matter of recruiting new recruits.Both of them entered the arrest house through informal means, so the work of recruiting new ones made it very difficult for them.

Fortunately, it is almost done now, and the rest can be left to Chen Hanlin, he only needs to take the last "palace test"!
Wei Zhengyun knocked on the door and entered the office with a bright smile on his face.

Every time he saw this smile on Wei Zhengyun's face, Chen Ledao's mood would involuntarily improve.Every time General Manager Wei shows this kind of smile, it means that Ye Weiyang is earning money again.

"Boss, that song of yours is amazing! Ms. Fang sang that song, and the newspapers have been full of news about her for the past two days. Even our song and dance hall has become famous again."

Before Ye Weiyang's fame was mainly limited to the French Concession, as for other places, it can only be said to be slightly famous, some people know that there is such a place.

It is different now, people who know this name and have spending power will almost all go to Yeweiyang for entertainment.

Anyone who can manage a newspaper in this era has a literary level that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.Anyone who picks one out will be a great god.It is definitely not comparable to those entertainment editors in the future.

The charm of words lies in their ability to bring the dead to life, and to bring the dead to life!
Because of Ye Shanghai's words, almost all the reports in the newspapers were positive.Of course, one or two literary trolls should be excluded.

Whether it's a gorgeous compliment or a simple criticism, anyway, Ye Weiyang has successfully aroused the interest of those rich people.

Chen Ledao nodded calmly, in stark contrast to Wei Zhengyun's excitement.He is also very happy, but as a boss, he can't be as happy as his employees.

"Boss, the people below said that people from other dance halls are already singing our song, should we take some action? In the West, they all charge patent fees!" After the happy thing was finished, Wei Zhengyun immediately began to compare pennies and pennies.

He himself was so poor, how could he let others borrow chickens and eggs from him to gather wool!

Chen Ledao tapped his finger on the desktop, pirated, copyright infringement!Even in this era, is it a hurdle that cannot be jumped over!

"Of course, this matter must be taken seriously!" He said firmly.

This matter must not be left alone!

Although he used to like piracy, especially reading pirated novels, every time he read a VIP chapter, it was like earning [-] million yuan.But Shiyi Time Shift, it's his turn, he absolutely does not advocate infringement and piracy!
"You ask Ding Li to go to those dance halls where he sang overnight in Shanghai, and talk to those people about patent rights. But tell him not to make any troubles, don't do good things and do bad things, and let people say that we Ye Weiyang are stingy! "Chen Ledao said.

This kind of matter is handed over to Ding Li, he is definitely familiar with it.Chen Ledao was not worried that Ding Li would not be able to handle this matter, but only worried that he would handle it too well.

"Well, I understand!" With Chen Ledao's words, Wei Zhengyun immediately felt relieved.

Because of Ajie's brainwashing training for those people during the training, and Chen Ledao's "shared joys and sorrows" with those people during the training, the people under him only listened to Chen Ledao on such a big matter, and it was difficult for Ding Li to give orders.With Chen Ledao's approval, this matter will be easier to handle.

Thinking back to the time when the boss swore to them: Ye Weiyang is a serious dance hall, and I am a serious businessman!Wei Zhengyun couldn't help but want to complain.

Training employees is like training soldiers. I haven't seen any serious businessman do this.

"By the way, boss, have you read today's declaration!" Wei Zhengyun took out the newspaper he had been holding in his hand, and almost forgot about it.

While handing the newspaper to Chen Ledao, Wei Zhengyun said:

"It's reported about the relationship between the song Ye Shanghai and you. Should I send someone to the newspaper office to say hello?"

The boss is now the inspector of the arresting house. It is not known whether it is a good thing or a bad thing if it is published in the newspapers like this. Wei Zhengyun has to think about it.

Chen Ledao glanced at the words in the newspaper, smiled, shook his head and said:

"No, if they like to report, just report!"

Being famous has its benefits. Although people are afraid of being famous, they are afraid of being strong, but Chen Ledao can pat his chest and say that he is just a layman.He still likes fame.

Besides, it's not just for people to declare. They go to say hello, and it's another matter whether they give face or not.

Wei Zhengyun nodded to express his understanding. He probably understood what the boss meant. It seemed that the boss liked fame very much.He wanted to take out his small notebook and write it down, but it seemed that General Manager Wei was too philistine.Reluctantly, I had no choice but to suppress the idea of ​​digging out small books.

It's right to think about it, people just want to win fame before and after their lives, so why don't bosses like fame!In his heart, he realized with hindsight.

"Is there anything else?" After talking about this, Chen Ledao asked, General Manager Wei sat there and seemed to have no intention of leaving.

"Oh, there is one more thing!" Wei Zhengyun hurriedly said, remembering the unfinished business.

"About Ms. Fang, Ms. Fang became famous with her song, and now many people come to Ye Weiyang just to listen to her song. I'm wondering if we should record "Ye Shanghai" into an album." He asked.

As one of Edison's greatest inventions, the phonograph and records have already been introduced to China.However, this thing is a luxury item, except for wealthy families who can buy it alone, ordinary people can't afford it at all. Better families buy radios, and they can also listen to records from the radio.As for the really ordinary family, they can't even afford a radio.Can only listen to the loudspeaker broadcast.

Records in China have always been operated by foreign companies, but in recent years, national capital has begun to compete with foreign companies, and Chinese records have also appeared.

After listening to Wei Zhengyun's words, Chen Ledao pondered for a while.

He Fang Yanyun was positioned as a big star in the Republic of China.Zhou Xuan, who originally sang the song Ye Shanghai with a golden voice, was the big star of this period, and Fang Yanyun will definitely be heading in this direction in the future.Wei Zhengyun's words reminded him.

"Release with only one song? Isn't that too little?" Chen Ledao asked.

"Boss, you can only release a single. The cooperation between Ms. Fang and Ye Shanghai is the most popular right now. I'm sure it won't worry about selling it!"

Seeing Wei Zhengyun's appearance at this moment, Chen Ledao always felt inexplicably familiar, who did he look like?
He nodded, it is better to leave this kind of matter to professional people.

"Okay, you can discuss this matter with Ms. Fang and figure it out. Take this opportunity to find out how the record industry and movie industry in Shanghai are doing, and write an analysis report for me when the time comes." Chen Le said He agreed to Wei Zhengyun's proposal and expanded his thinking.

During this period, the recording industry and film industry in Shanghai Bund largely represented their industries in the whole country.Since he decided to train Fang Yanyun to be a big star, of course he couldn't act like a kid.

These two industries may not be able to make too much money now, at least certainly not as good as dumping restricted items such as arms and medicines, which does not meet his standards for a person who wants to do a big business.Chen Ledao also wanted to use these two things, but before running, he had to learn to walk first.

Besides, no matter how small a mosquito's legs are, it's still meat. If these industries are well established, Chen Ledao might be able to recite the title of "father of so-and-so" in the history books in the future.

"Isn't Ye Weiyang still a lot of people idle and free to do? Send them out and find me a girl named Zhou Xuan!" Chen Ledao suddenly remembered, this grandma should not be as old as him now, she should be young Appears to be in his teens.

Since Ye Weiyang was on the stage, Fang Yanyun couldn't be the only one singing on it, she had to find some colleagues.For the singers of this era, Chen Ledao is familiar with this golden voice.After all, both "Song Girl at the End of the World" and "Night Shanghai" are her original songs.

Zhou Xuan, girl?
Hearing Chen Ledao's words, Wei Zhengyun immediately wondered if there was any deep meaning behind his boss's words.Judging from the boss's previous arrangements, every step he takes has a profound meaning.

He didn't dare to ask too much, he just figured out some things on his own, if he asked, he would be an idiot, not just asking about everything about the boss.

With doubts, Wei Zhengyun nodded in agreement.

No matter what the boss's intentions are, as long as he does it according to the arrangement!

"Then boss, shall I go down to make arrangements first?" Wei Zhengyun finished what he wanted to say, and he understood what the boss meant, as if he could go out.

"Go out if you have nothing to do, wait a minute!" As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately called Wei Zhengyun back, "Did that couple come again that day?"

He was talking about Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman, of course, and they haven't contacted him since they separated that day.Chen Ledao still cared about this great talent.

In the past two days, he went to inquire about another celebrity, Lin Huiyin, and heard that she just married Liang Sicheng last year.As a future soul, to put it bluntly, he is quite gossip about Xu Zhimo's current thoughts.

"I haven't been here before. If they come, the people below will definitely tell me." Wei Zhengyun said with certainty.

"Okay, you can go." Chen Ledao nodded.

After Wei Zhengyun left, Chen Ledao leaned back in his chair, wondering what those two people were doing without contacting him.According to the acquaintance between them that day, the two should contact him.

Chen Ledao couldn't figure it out.
