The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 645 English Album
Xu Guanwu made a final decision at a critical moment and successfully put Richard and David in charge of this huge sum of money.When the meeting was over, the bankers did not leave sullenly, and immediately went to Richard and David, wanting to provide them with the best service, so as to get a piece of the pie.

Seeing this, Xu Guanwu couldn't help lamenting that there are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests.Just now these bankers and investors regarded Richard and David as enemies.But in a blink of an eye, they went up to flirt with them again, as if the guy who was glaring just now was not them.

Xu Guanwu shook his head helplessly, turned around and was about to leave, but Daryl chased after him and said, "Xu, are you leaving now, don't leave in such a hurry, we have a reception later."

Xu Guanwu smiled and waved his hands, "I won't be attending the reception. If you have any good wine, remember to leave two bottles for me. I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you for now."

"Okay then, I'll take you out of here." Darryl nodded, "Thanks to you, Richard and David are able to control this fund this time, thank you so much."

"Don't thank me yet. There is an old saying in China that it is a blessing in disguise." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Richard and David have such a huge sum of money in their hands, so they will definitely be targeted by many people. Yes, it’s hard to say whether it’s a blessing or a tragedy.”

"Don't worry, I think they will be reasonable." Darryl said with a smile, and sent Xu Guanwu out of the door.

……

When Xu Guanwu returned to the villa, he saw Deng Lijun greeted him beamingly, the smile on his face could not be concealed.

"What good thing makes you so happy, tell me and listen to it, and let me be happy too." Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing.

"David Geffen called just now, saying that my album is ready, let me go and have a look in the afternoon." Deng Lijun said with a smile.

"This is really a good idea." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "Congratulations, Teresa! You will become a world-class singer in the future."

"But, Ah Wu, if I release an album this time, the birth of the baby may have to be postponed." Deng Lijun said in a dark voice again, "I can't perform on stage with the baby, that would be bad for the baby's development .”

Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "You are right, then what do you decide to do, do you want to have a baby, or do you want your own career?"

Hearing his question, Deng Lijun couldn't help but slumped down on the sofa, "I can't make up my mind, as you know, it would be such an honor for us Chinese singers to be able to release an album in the United States. If I can become famous in the United States this time, I can return to Taiwan with honor, and I don’t have to worry about the impact of this passport incident. But I promised to help you have a baby. If I go back on my word now, I feel that I am so sorry."

"Teresa, don't worry, I know what you mean." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "From my observations in the past few days after I came to the United States, although you seem to be very happy, occasionally you look at the There is still a hint of melancholy in your eyes. I knew that you actually belonged to the stage, and I felt wronged to let you live in the United States for a year. I think you should go back to the stage, where you should go most We might as well put aside the child's affairs for a while, and when you get tired of singing one day, we can raise another baby."

Seeing Xu Guanwu being so considerate, Deng Lijun couldn't help but threw himself into his arms and cried, "Ah Wu, thank you."

"Fool, what are you thankful for?" Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Okay, don't cry, your eyes are red from crying, and it's hard to go out to meet people in the afternoon. Wipe away your tears, we'll go out and have a good meal later, Do a good job in the afternoon. Let those foreign devils see that we Chinese are not vegetarian. OK?!"

"En." Hearing what he said, Deng Lijun couldn't help laughing through tears.

……

In the afternoon, Xu Guanwu accompanied Deng Lijun to Mermaid Records again.This time, David Geffen really didn't dare to underestimate Xu Guanwu and Xu Guanwu, and welcomed them into the company with a smile all the way, "Stanley, Teresa, this is the album plan we have carefully designed for you these two days , take a look first to see if there is anything inappropriate." David Geffen handed over a stack of documents and said.

Deng Lijun took it over, glanced at it, and then put it down. It was all written in English, and she could hardly understand it.Seeing this, Xu Guanwu copied it, opened it, and found that it included the theme of the album, color pages, song list, MV, etc., and the eloquence was more than [-] words. It seems that David Geffen really took the trouble.

Xu Guanwu looked down carefully, and saw that David Geffen had set the theme for this album as "Love from Shanghe", making full use of Deng Lijun's Chinese characteristics to hype it.

Shanghi is a very famous city in Europe and America. It has been mentioned in many literary works, and it is regarded as the romantic oriental Paris.

The title "Pearl of the Orient" was actually used to praise Shanghai in the early days, but Luo Dayou's "Pearl of the Orient" was spread too widely. In addition, Shanghai was not comparable to Hong Kong in terms of economy and culture at that time, so He had no choice but to take off the crown of "Pearl of the Orient".However, since the reform and opening up, Shanghi has regained its vitality, and now it has far surpassed Hong Kong in terms of economy and culture.

Laoshanghai represents a special era, a special feeling, ten miles of foreign markets, feasting and feasting, and beautiful women like clouds.It is a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor. Both sin and evil appear there in their own extremes, and are regarded as a paradise for gold diggers and a paradise for adventurers.

Xu Guanwu has no opinion on this theme. To be honest, when he saw David Geffen's idea for the first time, he was almost taken aback.Unexpectedly, Americans are quite reliable in handling things, and he was quite surprised that he would even think of the theme of "Old Man Hi".

The theme of an album is the core of the album. Everything in the future will revolve around this theme, such as playlists, color pages, MVs, promotions, etc. If the theme is good enough, then an album is already successful It's half done.

Around the theme of "Love from Shanghe", David Geffen selected twelve songs, including some cheerful dance music and some soft love songs. Sincerely invited five songs from other songwriters, and made up twelve songs for Deng Lijun to sing.

"Why, are my songs not good enough, or are you planning to save them for other singers?" Xu Guanwu asked David Geffen with his eyes wide open when he saw a few unfamiliar songs appearing in the playlist.

"Oh, don't get me wrong. Your songs are indeed good, but they don't match the theme of our album. If they are added, it will damage the harmony of the entire record." David Geffen Hastily explained.

Xu Guanwu didn't know that making a record was so troublesome, he thought that as long as it was a good song, it would be fine. "Teresa, is what he said reasonable?" Xu Guanwu repeated David Geffen's words.

"There is indeed such a saying, and he is right." Deng Lijun nodded and said, "Mixing songs with completely different styles will indeed make people feel messy. It's like eating steak with vinegar, it doesn't go well at all. .”

Seeing that Deng Lijun said the same thing, Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "By the way, how is the quality of your songs? Don't just pick up a few songs to fool you. If it doesn't work, tell me sooner. I have plenty of good songs. "

"Don't worry, these songs are all good songs, I can swear to you." David Geffen waved his hand and said, "I value this album more than you. In order to make this album, I specially asked People from Chinatown, Japan, and Taiwan brought Teresa's album back to study. You really think I'm just playing around these days, this plan is not written in a snap."

"Okay, okay, I misunderstood you, I apologize to you." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "It's good if the song is good, I plan to use this album to make Teresa popular."

Xu Guanwu looked down while talking, and soon saw the MV item, which made him frown, "Why is this MV so simple, it doesn't even have a plot, just standing in front of the curtain and singing like this, you What are you doing?"

"Why, everyone's MV is like this, what tricks are you planning to play?" David Geffen asked depressed.

Xu Guanwu frowned, he didn't expect David Geffen's ideas to be so old-fashioned.Hong Kong singers release albums with MVs that look like small movies. Why is the music industry in the United States so developed and the development of MVs really lagging behind?Didn't they notice the strengths of this kind of narrative MV?Or do they disdain to learn from the advanced experience of other regions? !
Xu Guanwu later found out that the American record industry really disdains to learn from the advanced experience of other regions. They usually only pay attention to the record market in countries such as Europe and the United States, and they have always paid little attention to the market in Asia.One is that the market is immature, and the record sales did not make much money in the past. The other is that after the war, the United States always had a sense of being the boss and my second child. Therefore, except for some countries in Western Europe, other countries and regions In their view are dismissive.This is also the reason why Hong Kong movies can sell better than Western movies in East Asia, because people don't pay attention to this market at all.

"I plan to make the MV like a movie, like this song "RIGHT HERE WAITING", it can be filmed as a woman calling her boyfriend, and then the montage flashes their previous dating experience, and finally the woman It's over with tears." Xu Guanwu explained.

David Geffen frowned, "It doesn't have to be like this, if you do it like this, it will increase a lot of costs. It's at least 10,000+ dollars to shoot such a MV."

"You still have to spend money. You can save money by setting up a set and having people stand in front of you and sing, but it's too crude." Xu Guanwu waved his hands.

Seeing his insistence, David Geffen had no choice but to agree first, "Is there anything else that should be paid attention to?"

"Well, it's not allowed to take the sexy route, no revealing, no kissing scenes, the maximum can only be hugs." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said.

David Geffen's head is full of black lines. To be honest, his wife Cher is also a singer under the company, but she also takes the sexy route. He was never as strict as Xu Guanwu.In David Geffen's view, Xu Guanwu is like a dictatorial king.

"I really wonder if you are from the Middle Ages, Xu, your ideas are too conservative." David Geffen couldn't help but vomit.

"Stop talking nonsense. In short, these are my bottom lines. You must not offend them. Otherwise, even if you are a friend, you will have nothing to say." Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

Seeing that he was so serious, David Geffen had no choice but to agree, then turned to Deng Lijun and said, "I really can't figure it out, how can you get along with him peacefully when he restricts your freedom so much?"

"Get lost!" Xu Guanwu couldn't help cursing with a smile when he heard him say that.
