Chapter 117 October Is the Harvest Season, the Black-Hearted Boss Xu Chen

"Lao Xu, I really feel like my rock and roll skills are dead. I've been to heaven and earth more times than I've been to the recording studio..."

Shen Lihui misses those sunny summer days when a few young people rode creaking bicycles through the wheat fields filled with the sound of frogs to attend music appointments.

"Lao Xu, I think life is really fucked now. I went to Mr. Wang and Mr. Li's appointment..." Shen Lihui complained, his beer belly mocking his dead youth.

"When you touch stockings, are you thinking about stockings or guitar strings?" Xu Chen ruthlessly exposed Shen Lihui's hypocrisy. He was not curious about heaven and earth at all.

"...Stocks are still nicer to touch." The guitar strings are too hard, and Mr. Shen is more pleasant to the ear than Shen Laoer.

Shen Lihui was pretentious for 2 seconds, grinning: "Old Xu, the "Unparalleled" we released is really unparalleled. This is the album sales data, and there will be an award in the global music charts. I will send it to you later."

"Global Chinese Music Chart", this award is a global Chinese pop song award issued by the international music channel V channel (Star Music).

The awards were officially held in mainland China in 1998. Currently, there are only trophies and no awards night.

The award selects the top 20 Chinese music in the world. Xu Chen has three songs that won the award: "Ruyu", "Jade Belt Bridge", and "Single Love Song"!

Xu Chen looked calm.

"Old Xu, Jacky Cheung, Princess Wang, and Andy Lau all only have one song that won the award. You alone are worth three of them!"

Shen Lihui's "The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is" expression.

"Lao Shen, calm down, there are only three of us, I am worth 20 people." Xu Chen flipped through the sales data, Wuhu~Take off~

Mainland China's "Tianxia Wushuang" officially went on sale on October 17. As of October 26, it sold 280,000 CDs and 430,000 tapes in 9 days.

Comparatively...

The princess's album was launched online in September, and the current statistics are 470,000 copies. This record is the best record of the princess's career as a singer, and it took her 30 days.

Tu Honggang and Sun Nan's albums went on sale in early October. As of October 26, Tu Honggang had sold 320,000 copies and Sun Nan had sold 380,000 copies, setting a new album sales record for the two.

The albums of Fu Disheng and Jia Ding's "Intimate Lover" and Tengger's "Paradise" went on sale online in August. As of October 26, Fu Disheng's albums had sold 340,000 copies and Tengger's "280,000" copies.

Far ahead~

This record is reasonable!

Xu Chen, "unparalleled in the world", dominated the Mainland's October radio rankings and conquered the Hong Kong and Taiwan music circles. Mainland newspapers reported overwhelmingly, and almost everyone across the country paid attention to this matter.

Moreover, in September, the sexy news about Xu Chen, Wang Fei, and Dou Wei attracted a lot of attention.

Xu Chen even felt that 280,000 CDs in 9 days was too few and did not exceed 500,000 CDs.

Xu Chen was depressed: "Old Shen, I'm so good. I sold 280,000 yuan in 9 days. I expected to sell 500,000 yuan!"

Stab~

The Audi tires sprayed white smoke when they rubbed against each other, which made Shen Lihui break out in a cold sweat. Xu Chen always boasted, and his boss Shen couldn't stand this kind of person!

"Lao Xu, your idea is very conservative. If piracy is included, there will definitely be 500,000."

no way.

Domestic pirates are not fools. Xu Chen's album is bound to become a hit. The first day the album went online, it was pirated like crazy. The second day after it went online, pirated copies of the album were sold in the streets.

Mainland video stores are even more willing to sell pirated copies. They make too little money from genuine copies and more than half from pirated copies.

Xu Chen and Shen Lihui brag and spank, and Jay Chou holds the "egg jar" tightly with both hands. Although he is a non-staff member of the music industry, the former gods such as the Princess, Jacky Cheung, and Andy Lau suddenly fell off the cliff...

Brother Chen is awesome! Learn from Brother Chen!

…………

12:30 noon, Jianguomenwai Street, China World Trade Center Phase 1.

Xu Chen took Shen Lihui and Jay Chou to visit "Time Pictures."

"Time Pictures" currently has an administrative office, a screenwriting department, a program department, and an actor department with 28 cats and kittens. It is considered the smallest company in the CBD of Yangchao, Beiping.

Xu Chen was very pleased. In July, the company only had 3 related accounts. In October, the company had 18 related accounts. The team is getting stronger...

What the hell!

The five people in the "Screenwriting Department" are all classmates or seniors of the chamber pot eunuch Huang Bo and his wife Xiao Ou from Nortel, and there is not a single one hired from outside.

The four people in the "Administrative Office" are all Chen Doudou's classmates at university, including a receptionist, a senior from the law department, and two seniors from the business administration department.

The "Program Department" was completely destroyed. Chen Doudou served as the "Producer of the Program Department". The actors were all friends of Nortel Chang Li, and the crew were all members of the Tianqinxin Theater.

Sun Yonghuan, the director of the "Actors Department", hired two colleagues from "Contemporary Music Circle" and brought her 96-year-old Chinese Opera to play poker in the office every day. There was no way. She had not graduated from the 96-year-old Chinese Opera, so she could only act with large crews and large productions. .

"Lao Xu, you..." Shen Lihui grinned. Lao Xu's company is really a paradise for working children.

"Brother Chen, you are back!"

Chen Doudou was copying documents, and when he saw Xu Chen with his sharp eyes, he threw himself into Xu Chen's arms like a swallow returning to his nest, with tears in his eyes: "Brother Chen, you are finally back, woo woo woo, I'm so stressed!"

"No matter how big it is, it's not bad if you don't do it." Xu Chen's chest was soft and he didn't feel like a bean at all.

"China in the Classics" is the company's first attempt. Chen Doudou is able to clarify the program's ideas and push the project forward smoothly, which is very good.

"Hello, Brother Chen!" Two girls who looked similar, wearing the same black business dress and long ponytails with shiny black hair greeted politely.

Li Bingbing and Li Xue were sisters born from eggs. Li Bingbing had been tortured by society, while Li Xue had just graduated from college. They stared at Xu Chen with an unkind look.

Li Bingbing quietly pulled Li Xue's sleeve, and the little girl looked away and stared at the tip of her high heels.

"You must be Li Bingbing and Li Xue." Li Bingbing and Li Xue looked very similar, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and a slender figure. They were immature and immature, and there was nothing to chew on.

"Doudou, write a singer contract according to my singer contract template."

Jay Chou signed with "Time Pictures". Xu Chen had too many things to do and had no time to waste on the two assistants: "Miss Li, there is no need for an interview. You are in the company. Follow me for an internship for an afternoon. We will talk in the evening. Do you have any questions?"

"Brother Chen, internship..." Li Xue didn't care about the salary. Her sister sponsored her university. She mainly wanted to ask about the details and content of the work. Chen Doudou threw herself into Xu Chen's arms.

Li Xue complained in her heart: "I thought the Chinese pop star would be different, but all men are the same."

As soon as she spoke, Li Bingbing pulled her sister's sleeve: "Brother Chen, it's okay. My job is a life assistant, and Li Xue is a work assistant. Please rest assured, Brother Chen, we will definitely be able to do the job and not embarrass Brother Chen!"

Xu Chen took a few people back to his office. He rarely came to his office.

After a few people sat down, Li Bingbing quickly adjusted her mentality and rushed around to serve water and make tea. Life assistants are people who serve people. In ancient times, they were called maids.

Li Xue's job is "work assistant", which is equivalent to "agent", but there is no need to contact resources.

"Brother Chen, the contract is printed." Chen Doudou came in with the contract.

"Okay, Xiao Zhou, this contract is the same as the singer contract I signed. It leaves out the contract period, album share ratio, and monthly salary. You can fill it out yourself. This key is my house key. Doudou will arrange your accommodation and meals after the job is done. There are musical instruments and professional books in my house. You can do it yourself."

"After a week, I hope to see a complete song and lyrics."

Jay Chou is a beast. Xu Chen squeezed him hard. Wu Zongxian gave Jay Chou a deadline: "Create 12 songs in 7 days to make an album."

Jay Chou stayed up all night and created 12 songs the next day and released his first album "JAY."

"Okay, Brother Chen." Jay Chou thought it was nothing to create a song in 7 days. Brother Chen created a song while squatting and watching the maple leaves. He took 7 days for himself. He was too bad.

"...Old Xu..." Shen Lihui felt strange when seeing Xu Chen's working state. He was just an animal. Jay Chou looked like a shy little boy. He was exploiting his employees!

Xu Chen's eyes were full of resentment. Shen Lihui shut up decisively. Xu Chen was just an animal. What animals brought up by animals... nothing but animals.

Xu Chen visited the company and talked about the plan with Xiao Ou.

The "Screenwriter Department" is currently very busy. The second and third episodes of "Classics of China" need scripts. Xu Chen is demanding and working all night is common. Fortunately, the working atmosphere is relaxed and the salary is high, otherwise the screenwriters would have run away long ago.

2:30 pm.

Xu Chen took people to the recording room of the "Classics of China" program again. The first episode of the program will be recorded tonight.

…………

Company.

Jay Chou looked at the contract. Brother Chen treated me with great kindness. He signed a contract with Wu Zongxian. Wu Zongxian wanted to crush him to death. Giving him a job was like giving him alms.

Brother Chen signed him for NT$880,000 and let him fill in the contract himself.

Jay Chou looked at the contract without any hesitation and filled in 10 years. He couldn't make a name for himself in 10 years and he didn't have the face to follow Brother Chen and waste resources.

The profit ratio is generally 20% for newcomers in the market, but Jay Chou filled in 10%. He just wanted the album not to lose money. He didn't have the confidence to make money.

The salary is the minimum for newcomers. The Taipei record company is about NT$20,000. Wu Zongxian gave Jay Chou NT$5,000, which is less than 300 yuan a month in RMB.

Jay Chou filled in 100, including food and accommodation. He didn't need much money, so 100 was enough. He could buy a gift for his mother after saving for a few months.

After signing the contract, Jay Chou looked at the "Singing Awards" in Xu Chen's office and was full of fantasies about his future.

…………

PUA behavior!

Jay Chou will come to the fore sooner or later. The contract signing is too harsh, which will only increase disputes. The signing conditions are too good, which is not conducive to the struggle of employees!

Xu Chen strangled Jay Chou's lifeline. This guy is shy and doesn't know the dangers of society. He was embarrassed to fill out the contract too outrageously.

Jay Chou stood up and signed the contract himself. He was embarrassed to talk to Xu Chen about the "treatment".

Xu Chen did him a favor and increased his treatment, but Jay Chou still didn't work for him wholeheartedly.

There was no one else in Xu Chen's Maybach, just Li Xue, Li Bingbing and Chen Doudou. He put on eye drops for Li Bingbing and Li Xue and told Chen Doudou.

"..." Chen Doudou didn't expect Brother Chen to be so insidious. He was innocent: "Brother Chen, what are my character weaknesses? Have you strangled them?"

"Doudou, people should know themselves. You are just a pendant on my leg in this life. Don't think about these things." Chen Doudou is lucky. Who told her to meet Xu Chen early? She will never worry about food and drink in this life. Just follow Xu Chen and enjoy life.

“…” Chen Doudou chuckled. She had no ambitions to begin with. Xu Chen asked her to be a program producer, so she did it. The rest was to study hard and strive to be competent for the job.

Li Bingbing focused on driving. Li Xue first experienced the dangers of the world and mourned for Jay Chou in her heart. The black-hearted boss Xu Chen was too sinister!
