Chapter 2055

~8 min read 1,401 words

Faye Wong was holding a bottle of iced black tea, chatting with Ma Xiaotong in the tent. Seeing Zhou Andong come in, she raised her hand to greet him.

"Boss Zhou!"

Zhou Andong asked with a smile: "Where is Liu Na?"

"They left." Faye Wong said: "Liu Na asked me to say goodbye to you for her."

Zhou Andong took the stool at the entrance of the tent and sat down, picking up an iced black tea placed on the ground.

"Did you agree to them?"

"No!" Faye Wong took a sip of the drink: "It's useless to find me for the agency distribution. They have to go to Hong Kong to find the company. However, if Future Culture wants to act as an agent, I can communicate with the company."

Zhou Andong laughed loudly: "Whether Future Culture acts as an agent or not, look at President Ma's meaning."

"I am very moved to act as an agent for the Heavenly Queen's album distribution."

Ma Xiaotong's words were not fake at all. Although piracy is rampant in the country, there is still money to be made by acting as an agent for Faye Wong's album.

"Like this, wait until you consider whether to join Future Culture. If you agree to join Future Culture, I won't act as an agent. If you don't want to join, then I will act as an agent."

"Okay!"

Faye Wong agreed. Finding a record company in the country to act as an agent for album distribution is actually just a matter of one sentence from her.

Originally, she had considered handing the album agency rights to New Era, but Chen Guanhai offended Zhou Andong for no reason, so she naturally couldn't agree anymore.

Zhou Andong looked at Ma Xiaotong: "What do you think of the Fei Band?"

"Weizi said that the technology of the few people in the band is quite good, and the lead singer's voice is also very characteristic, rough, hoarse, and slightly thick, but the singing skills are unsatisfactory."

Ma Xiaotong said Dou Xian'er's evaluation: "However, the two songs they sang, Weizi's evaluation was quite high, saying they can be signed and tried to push."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "I chatted with the lead singer Xu Wei for a while yesterday and felt he was very talented. You can push the band first. If it is pushed up, develop it in the form of a band.

If it is not pushed up, then push Xu Wei personally. He is a creative singer. You must give him time, give him space, and give him autonomy. Two years, three years, five years, it doesn't matter.

In addition, other members of the band can do behind-the-scenes work. If there are those who want to develop in the direction of singers, they can also support, but it is best if they can rise. If they can't rise, then honestly do behind-the-scenes work. If they don't want to do it, let them go."

Ma Xiaotong wanted to speak but stopped. She had no opinion on pushing Xu Wei personally, and giving time, space, and autonomy was no problem. But two years, three years, five years, this time and space given is also too big.

If after a few years, an album can't be made, it's equivalent to raising a person for nothing. It's just that she believes in Zhou Andong, so the words reached her lips and she swallowed them back.

"Okay!"

"Our company is so big, raising a few idlers is no problem." Zhou Andong saw Ma Xiaotong's thoughts and said with a smile: "Like creative singers like Xu Wei, don't worry about how long it takes him to make an album.

As long as he can write songs, if he writes them and they are not suitable for him to sing, others can sing them. As long as one song becomes popular, it is not a loss to raise him for many years."

Ma Xiaotong laughed: "What you said is not bad. Okay, just follow what you said, give him time and space."

Zhou Andong was very gratified. Ma Xiaotong is good at this point, can listen to words, and has execution power. As long as he says it, it is guaranteed to be executed perfectly.

"Actually, it's not just Xu Wei, that Luo Lin is also, including other creative singers." Zhou Andong continued: "Still that sentence, as long as they can write songs, even if only one song becomes popular, we have earned it."

Others don't know, but Xu Wei and Dao Ge, Zhou Andong knows very well, belong to the representatives of late bloomers.

It was mainly Xu Wei. After signing with the Red Star Production Agency, he launched two songs, which were "Two Days" and "Blue Bird", but they didn't cause much repercussions.

Then he wrote "Persistence", which was sung red by Big Sister Tian, but he, the lyricist and composer, was ignored.

Two years later, which was '97, he launched the album "Elsewhere", but the repercussions were still flat.

Frustrated again, he locked himself in the room without eating or drinking and suffered from severe depression.

Then, there were problems within the company, and he had to go home to rest. At this time, his economy also fell into trouble, and he once wanted to commit suicide.

Even one day he stood on the balcony, and no matter how his wife persuaded him, it didn't work. There was no way, so she called Xiao Jian, who was also one of the few friends Xu Wei had.

Xiao Jian brought friends and ran to his house with musical instruments. When the music sounded, Xu Wei felt like he saw a light, and unknowingly came down from the balcony.

Then, with the help of his wife, he began to actively cooperate with treatment. At that time, he was desperate, like a walking corpse every day, unable to see the future in his eyes, and had ten thousand reasons to commit suicide in his brain.

His father also often talked to him, telling him that no one's life has not been hesitant, art needs deep cultural heritage, and wanting to turn dreams into reality needs a calm heart.

Just like this, Xu Wei slowly got better, and no longer deliberately created. While loving life and enjoying life, he looked for creative inspiration. Thus, "Blue Lotus" appeared, but there was only music and no lyrics.

Then he began to read a lot of masterpieces, until one day he visited the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, inspired by the story of Xuanzang's westward journey, "Blue Lotus" came out, and then this song spread throughout the network like a wildfire.

Until 2005, after "The You of the Past" came out, Xu Wei truly became popular.

Faye Wong was drinking iced black tea, listening to the conversation between the two. Such a company, such a boss, is very hard to find in this world.

Suddenly there was an impulse in her heart, she really wanted to agree, sign with Future Culture, but in the end, reason overcame impulse.

Future Culture is indeed the big brother in the country, but the distribution ability is also limited to the country.

Not to mention the world, even Southeast Asia can't do it, which is too limited for her future development.

"Chairman!"

Huang Yali suddenly appeared at the entrance of the tent. There was nothing to do these two days, so Zhou Andong arranged her by Zhou Wanyu's side again.

The textile factory acquisition contract was signed, and many things needed to be busy. Zhou Wanyu was unfamiliar with the place, and with Huang Yali helping by her side, it was very convenient to handle things.

It's just that this girl suddenly ran over to find him, there must be a big thing happening. It's just looking at this girl's face, she didn't want any urgent things to happen.

"What's the matter?"

"Heavenly King Liu is here." Huang Yali came in, bent down to pick up a bottle of iced black tea, opened it, and took a sip.

"I'll go first, let's eat together tonight."

Zhou Andong said to Ma Xiaotong and Faye Wong, stood up and walked out, asking as he walked.

"When did he arrive?"

"Just arrived!" Huang Yali followed quickly: "I just returned to the factory, they arrived, and then I arranged for them to go to the guesthouse."
