Chapter 2045
Everyone could see that Zhou Andong was not unintentional, but deliberately giving Chen Guanhai the cold shoulder.
No one understood why Zhou Andong would do this; after all, it was the first time the two had met.
However, would anyone care about Chen Guanhai's embarrassment? No!
At this moment, with Zhou Andong's current status and position, there were truly very few people whose opinions he cared about.
Let alone a mere Chen Guanhai, even if the boss of New Era came, he would have to obediently lower his head and act like a grandson in front of Zhou Andong.
Who dares to disagree?
Sony is an example; the acquisition of Yuzhou Technology is known to everyone.
But what was the result?
They tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead, and had a piece of meat cut off their body by Zhou Andong and put into his bowl.
What is a tiny New Era worth? There is no need to talk about status or background. Just by throwing money, he could smash New Era to pieces.
What supports a record company, in the final analysis, is still the singers. As long as Zhou Andong raises the big stick of banknotes, how many people can hold out?
Ma Xiaotong similarly didn't care why Zhou Andong wanted to embarrass Chen Guanhai in front of everyone.
Her words were not spoken to Chen Guanhai, but specifically for Faye Wong to hear.
Because she had already sensed that Zhou Andong intended to win over Faye Wong, so she absolutely could not let the Heavenly Queen think that Boss Zhou was a person who was difficult to get along with.
Chen Guanhai's face turned green and then red, and he smiled very unnaturally.
"You guys chat, I'm going outside to smoke a cigarette."
Chen Guanhai strode out of the tent. Now the sun was already slanting to the west, and the weather was not as hot as it was at noon, but it was not cool either.
He looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, then took out a cigarette and lit one, his face remaining livid.
He was very angry, but he also knew in his heart that this resentment could only be bottled up in his own heart.
Seeking revenge on Zhou Andong? Not to mention this life, even the next life would be tough.
At this time, Zhou Andong had once again wandered to the front of the stage and then began to wander aimlessly.
Yao Jun didn't mind; he himself was one of the people in charge of security this time, and patrolling the site to check for leaks and fill gaps was also part of the job.
But Gu Bing couldn't help it. Although it was already past ten o'clock and the sun wasn't that hot, the temperature was still not very low.
"I say, what are you wandering around blindly for? Can't you just stand there honestly and watch the performance for a while?"
Zhou Andong walked with his hands behind his back, taking small, steady steps: "If you don't want to follow, then don't. Where do you get so much nonsense?"
Gu Bing was just about to retort, then heard Zhou Andong say: "However, you are my brother-in-law. If you are tired, it is only right for me to accompany you to rest for a while."
After finishing, Zhou Andong stopped and stood beside a young man with long hair who was carrying a guitar and had a cigarette in his mouth.
"Brother!" Zhou Andong took out a cigarette: "Light it up."
The long-haired youth tilted his head and looked at Zhou Andong, took the cigarette from his mouth, and handed it over.
Zhou Andong took it, lowered his head, and lit the cigarette: "Brother, are you also into music?"
"Right!" The long-haired youth answered faintly.
Zhou Andong took a puff of the cigarette: "I see you carrying a guitar; you look very professional at first glance. Before the opening, the organizers invited professional singers to go up and sing to warm up the venue. Why didn't you go?"
The long-haired youth felt that this guy beside him talked too much, but still patiently said: "We arrived late and got here after the opening."
"Oh!" Zhou Andong realized, and said with a look of regret: "As far as I know, among those who went up to sing today, three have been signed by Future Culture."
"What do you mean?" The long-haired youth tilted his head and looked at Zhou Andong, his eyes shining, losing that indifferent feeling.
Zhou Andong took a puff of the cigarette: "Actually, the so-called warm-up performance is actually the result of Future Culture discussing with the organizers, just to see if there are any good seedlings worth cultivating so they can be signed."
The long-haired youth asked excitedly: "Really?"
And there were four other people beside the long-haired youth who also looked over in unison, their eyes seemingly shining, very excited.
Zhou Andong pointed to Yao Jun beside him: "He is the boss of Golden Shield Security and one of the people in charge of this security mission. He is also responsible for the registration of those singers. If you don't believe me, ask him."
Yao Jun cooperated very well and said: "If you want to perform on stage tomorrow, I can register you now."
"Good!"
Before the long-haired youth could speak, a thin youth beside him, who also had a head of elegant long hair, agreed first.
The corners of Zhou Andong's mouth curled into an imperceptible smile: "What are your names?"
The long-haired youth hesitated for a moment: "My name is Xu Wei!"
"My name is Gao Song!"
"My name is Tong Tong!"
"My name is Bayin!"
"My name is Zhang Yonghe!"
Zhou Andong nodded and looked at Yao Jun: "Did you write it down?"
Yao Jun took a notebook and wrote down the names of the few people.
"Are you all together?"
"Right!" Zhang Yonghe nodded: "I am a band, called the Fei Band!"
"Then that's it." Zhou Andong waved his hand: "Come backstage at 12:30 tomorrow noon."
"Okay, okay!" Gao Song was all smiles: "Take your time!"
After Zhou Andong left, the five people were so happy they almost jumped up. Bayin grabbed Xu Wei's arm.
"Weizi, our opportunity has come. If we can sign with Future Culture, we won't have to worry."
Xu Wei gave a bitter smile: "I hope so!"
Last June, he formed the Fei Band in Xi'an, serving as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist, and was responsible for lyrics and music creation.
At the end of the year, together with other local bands, they held their first public performance after forming the band at Xi'an Foreign Languages University, and the effect was quite good.
Then in February of this year, the band went to Chengdu for promotional performances and accepted interviews from radio stations and major newspapers and magazines.
Actually, looking at the current situation, the Fei Band's development was not bad, but they were truly poor and couldn't make money.
So this band only existed for seven months before disbanding. Then, in October, Xu Wei went to Beijing and signed with the Zhao Hongxing Production Agency.
This Zhao Hongxing Production Agency was established in 1992, not much different from the time Future Culture was established, and the boss was a Hong Konger.
Although the Zhao Hongxing Production Agency only existed for ten years, if Future Culture hadn't appeared, in the next five years, the Zhao Hongxing Production Agency would have become the number one record company in the country.
The first band signed by the Zhao Hongxing Production Agency was Black Panther, which completely established the company's status and made its name known.
But what made the Zhao Hongxing Production Agency take off was Lao Zheng, whose album "Naked" made the Zhao Hongxing Production Agency earn a fortune.
Then they signed Big Sister Tian, and the song "Persistence" made the Zhao Hongxing Production Agency known to everyone in the circle.
But in this life, Black Panther, Lao Zheng, and Big Sister Tian had already been signed by Future Culture.
Now, Xu Wei couldn't run away either. I really don't know if the Zhao Hongxing Production Agency can still exist for ten years.
