Chapter 1039
"What's the use of cursing here?" Ma Xiaotong was very helpless: "Give Brother-in-law a call and ask?"
Jiang Yuyue thought for a moment, then waved her hand: "Let's see how things go. Didn't the Jingcheng Radio Station invite me to do a program? Communicate with them; I want to express my own views on this matter. If they agree, arrange it for these next few days; if they don't agree, then wait until I have time."
Sister Tian hadn't risen to prominence yet; the song "Persistence" that made her famous wouldn't come until two years later.
At this time, the one with the most fame was the "Queen of Sweet Songs," but she had always been overshadowed by Jiang Yuyue.
Jiang Yuyue had secured all the advertising endorsements under the Yugong Group, and her first album, "Joyful Youth," had sold over a million copies in just six months on the market.
Meanwhile, the "Queen of Sweet Songs'" album "Love in the Wind, Smiles in the Water," released last year, had only just barely crossed the million mark after a year.
Plus, Jiang Yuyue had participated in the National Day Gala on the first, so this girl's popularity was truly unrivaled for the moment.
Therefore, Jiang Yuyue was absolutely the "Number One Sister" in the domestic entertainment industry at this time.
Then there was Future Culture; although its scale wasn't large, its fame was quite significant.
It had signed over twenty singers, five of whom had become hugely popular under the company's management.
Domestic entertainment companies at the time didn't have clear profit-sharing contracts.
Whether it was album sales or performances, singers didn't get much money, and some even got nothing, having to rely on their own "gigging" to make money.
This was why large numbers of singers, including musicians, had broken up with their companies and terminated contracts, leading to the phenomenon of "heading south and returning north."
Future Culture, however, had a perfect agent system and clearly defined profit-sharing ratios between the company and the singers.
Especially with the existence of a mysterious and powerful musician, Lei Feng.
This made many singers flock to Future Culture, dreaming of being signed by them.
The demo tapes they received every day were packed in cardboard boxes.
And there were rumors that Black Panther was also going to sign with Future Culture; it was said that the two sides were in talks.
Others said that Future Culture had established an advertising department and signed directors, and besides shooting commercials, they were going to shoot TV dramas.
In any case, rumors about Future Culture were flying everywhere, putting great pressure on other domestic entertainment companies.
Some people couldn't stand Future Culture and wanted to trip them up, but after investigating the shareholders of Future Culture, they all backed down.
So, Jiang Yuyue was incredibly hot right now; not to mention just the Jingcheng Radio Station, even for TV stations, she had the confidence to demand conditions.
"Deal!" Ma Xiaotong nodded: "I'll contact the radio station in a while. Also, Director Zhang gave me a script. I watched a few episodes and felt it was very good. Do you want to take a look?"
Jiang Yuyue asked: "What's the subject?"
Ma Xiaotong said: "Ancient subject, the story of an emperor traveling incognito."
"Yuyue!"
A very beautiful woman of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, wearing professional attire and short hair, knocked on the door and entered.
"Time is almost up, we should go."
This woman's name was Huang Jiamin; she was from Xiangjiang, an agent found through Andy Lau, and was currently the General Manager of Future Culture's Agency Department.
Jiang Yuyue tidied up: "Put the script on my desk, I'll look at it when I get back."
"Okay!" Ma Xiaotong agreed and followed Jiang Yuyue out: "Director Zhang is already preparing for the Rifeng Radiator commercial."
Jiang Yuyue asked: "Who did you find to act in the commercial?"
Ma Xiaotong smiled and said: "Uncle Ge!"
Jiang Yuyue's footsteps paused, and she also laughed: "I heard Uncle Ge has a good relationship with Director Zhang."
"Yes!" Ma Xiaotong said: "I don't think it's appropriate, but Director Zhang says it is, so let's try it."
In the past few years, Uncle Ge had participated in many TV dramas, but his fame had never been prominent.
It wasn't until the broadcast of "Stories of the Editorial Department" last year that Uncle Ge gained a certain degree of fame.
And "After Separation," which was just released this year, was what finally made Uncle Ge truly hot.
But it would take until the release of "The Dream Factory" in 1997 for him to become hugely popular.
Jiang Yuyue didn't object: "I don't know anything about shooting commercials, so let Director Zhang arrange it."
"I'm going back to my office." With nothing else to do, Ma Xiaotong returned to her office.
At this moment, Huang Jiamin spoke: "Yuyue, I just received a call from the main station inviting you to participate in the 1994 Spring Festival Gala."
Jiang Yuyue asked: "Are there any requirements?"
Huang Jiamin said: "Sing two songs, 'Good Days' and 'Blue and White Porcelain'."
As they spoke, the two left the courtyard house, and a brand-new Santana was already waiting.
The driver was sent by Jindu Security, which also included the ten-plus security guards currently at Future Culture.
The two got into the car, and Jiang Yuyue said: "I already sang 'Good Days' on National Day, and now I have to sing it again at the Spring Festival Gala."
"I also think there's not much point in singing it again." Huang Jiamin nodded in agreement: "Why don't you contact Mr. Zhou and have him write you a new song?"
Huang Jiamin only came to Future Culture because of Andy Lau's face, and secondly because Future Culture had the songwriting genius Lei Feng.
It was only after arriving here that she learned Lei Feng was actually the Chairman of the Yugong Group.
"Let me think!" Jiang Yuyue didn't object: "Has the company received any good songs lately?"
Huang Jiamin said: "There are two, but they don't suit you."
"Alright!"
Since they didn't suit her, Jiang Yuyue wouldn't force it. If she took all the good things, what would the people below her do?
At the same time, a thin, small young man of twenty-three or twenty-four, wearing glasses, was curled up in bed, carefully reading a Yangcheng Evening News.
But as he read, this guy started to get angry, and he kept cursing Zhou Andong.
"You damn well know nothing, can't you just sell your white liquor and drinks properly?"
This guy flipped up, his eyes wide with anger.
"By relying on the strong and persistent spiritual doctrines of Christian culture, Westerners live sunny and positive lives, representing civilization and the highest achievement since modern times. If you don't understand, don't just fart randomly."
This guy had just graduated from university two years ago and was a die-hard "nation-hater."
Even though his current job was the envy of many, and even though his current salary already exceeded that of sixty or seventy percent of the national population.
He was still dissatisfied with the country, believing that the moon abroad was rounder, and as long as he had the chance, he would definitely go abroad.
His name was Hang Cunshe, and in later generations, he would become one of the most notorious so-called scholars.
He wrote a book cursing Chinese people as garbage, flies, and animals that polluted civilized society.
"Bang!"
The more this guy thought about it, the angrier he got. He slammed his fist heavily on the bed and got up to leave; he was going to the Science News, which was his workplace.
After arriving at the newspaper office, he lay on his desk and wrote furiously, his thoughts flowing like a spring. In half an hour, he had written three or four thousand words.
Then, without even checking, he went to the deputy editor-in-chief's office.
