Chapter 321: No coincidences
Jiang Haomin and Li Shanshan both looked pretty good, with relatively delicate looks among the people in Hong Kong. When they heard the announcement, they immediately went on stage.
The music was from a cassette tape, which had already started playing before I went on stage.
Each of them held a microphone and walked to the center of the stage.
The two's performance was fairly steady. Although there were no highlights, there were no mistakes either, and it was just average.
Jin Chuopu sat up straight and looked intently at the stage.
This song is not difficult to sing because it is a duet version, and the interaction between the two people is the highlight.
After the whole song was sung, Qiu Huoming frowned slightly. These two people were too mechanical and failed to express the youthful atmosphere of Liang Zhu clearly.
As they left the stage, the host came on stage again and began to announce the song list of a singer from another company...
Jin Chuopu turned his head and looked at Qiu Huoming, "Huoming, what do you think?"
As they were talking, Jiang Haomin and Li Shanshan, who had just stepped down from the stage, were already walking towards Jinchaopu.
A few people found an empty seat and sat down quietly.
Jin Chaopu smiled and said, "It's okay. If it doesn't work today, we can go to another one. You can guide them later."
Jin Chaopu shook his head. "It's good enough for a company to have one song selected, but forget about it if they have two."
Director Ji was in high spirits. He stroked the beard on his lower lip and said, "Okay, I'll give you ten minutes. I hope you can give me a little surprise."
Finally, it’s time for the final broadcast.
A youthful atmosphere surges between men and women.
"it is good."
A total of 12 songs were sung this morning, and they had to be edited, taking a total of 20 minutes. Each song was 4 minutes, which means that only 5 songs could be selected. Of course, the director can adjust the time appropriately depending on whether it is necessary.
Qiu Huoming tuned the instrument, pulled a chair over and sat down. He moved the microphone a little closer and began to pluck the strings. The prelude sounded...
"I see, you look good, and there's a guitar, do you want to try it?"
Qiu Huoming nodded. "For this song, I will play the guitar accompaniment, and they will still sing. Can you give me ten minutes to prepare?"
As the music suddenly changed, Jiang Haomin stood on Qiu Huoming's left and began to sing, while Li Shanshan stood on the right, and the two of them made eye contact from time to time...
"Let's go out and talk." Jin Chaopu looked at the performance on the stage, gestured to them, and pulled Qiu Huoming out.
He stopped in the corridor, and Jiang Haomin and Li Shanshan followed him out.
Qiu Huoming's song was not on the list, and the five singers who had chosen it were overjoyed. On the other hand, Jiang Haomin and Li Shanshan had dejected looks on Jin Chuopu's face. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Jin Chuopu's expression.
The stage lights were still spinning.
Qiu Huoming nodded to them, "Let's see what the result is first." He turned to look at Jin Chaopu and asked, "Do we still want to go in and listen to the music?"
Jin Chaopu glanced at them and smiled, "Not bad, nothing went wrong today."
This song was the first one to be performed on stage today, which caught him off guard.
This time, Director Ji came on stage in person. He looked around, glanced at Jin Chaopu, hesitated for a moment, and then began to read the list.
As a guitarist, Qiu Huoming also scored points for his appearance. It was the first time for the three of them to work together, so they were a little unfamiliar with each other. However, it was this unfamiliarity that gave them a natural and youthful feeling.
After Director Ji selected the person, he quickly walked off the stage and came to Jin Chaopu's side.
"Go in, Xiao Jiang, Xiao Li and the others, go in and listen carefully to see what the gap is between us and other companies."
He pointed at Qiu Huoming and introduced him, "He wrote the lyrics and music for this song. I'll ask him to explain to you later what you should pay attention to when performing this song."
Director Ji turned and looked at him.
He sang and danced at the same time, which was very visually impactful.
Several people filed in again.
Kim Cho-po in the audience was dazzled by the show. With this change, coupled with the expressions and movements of both the man and the woman, the original greasy feeling disappeared in an instant.
The ultimate goal of these record companies is to have songs that can be played on the radio and then make the charts.
Jin Chuopu quickly introduced: "Director Ji, his name is Qiu Huoming, and he is also the composer of this song."
Director Ji's eyes lit up. He stood under the stage, clasping his hands...
"Boss Jin, you chose a good song, but it lacks some meaning. If you can change it, I can give you another chance."
The next part comes naturally, and the singing gradually completes the whole picture.
Qiu Huoming quickly pulled Jiang Haomin and Li Shanshan to a corner, carefully reminded them of some precautions, and then asked Jiang Haomin to take off his suit, tie, and unbutton three buttons of his shirt. Li Shanshan was originally wearing a skirt, and Qiu Huoming took a glance and saw that there was nothing that needed to be changed, so he took the guitar and led the two of them back to the stage.
The song he was singing was already coming to an end. Compared with the two young men from Jinchuopu Company, this person's stage performance was obviously much better.
Qiu Huoming thought for a moment and said, "My singing is actually OK, but not good enough. There is still a lot of room for improvement..."
Qiu Huoming asked back: "There is another song, aren't you going to sing it today?"
Cantonese songs were still popular at that time, so he chose the song "Butterfly Lovers".
Jiang Haomin and Li Shanshan then walked up to the stage one after the other from the edge of the stage, following the rhythm. Then the guitar turned into a drum. Amid the drum beats, the two of them surrounded Qiu Huoming as if they were chasing butterflies...
Qiu Huoming stood up and said, "Director Ji, do you have a guitar?"
The music ends.
Director Ji applauded from the audience. He turned his head to Jin Chuopu who was standing beside him and said, "Okay, let's add your song this time."
"Thank you." A look of joy appeared on Jin Chaopu's face.
He made an OK gesture to the people on the stage, and Jiang Haomin and Li Shanshan felt relieved at once. They both looked at Qiu Huoming with gratitude.
Qiu Huoming put the guitar on the chair and he breathed a sigh of relief. The three of them were about to walk off the stage.
There was sudden applause at the entrance.
Chen Shao, dressed in formal attire, walked in accompanied by a companion.
"So you came early this morning?" Chen Shao approached and asked Qiu Huoming, "Why didn't you call me when you came..."
There was a hint of intimacy in this man's words.
What Qiu Huoming heard instead gave him goose bumps on his arms, and he took a step back slightly.
Director Ji frowned in the audience. He asked Jin Chuopu in a low voice, "Why is this second-generation rich guy here? He is so familiar with your people?"
Jin Chaopu's eyebrows jumped, "They are not familiar with each other. They have only met once. Huo Ming is my nephew, not an employee."
Qiu Huoming said in a cold voice, "I just happened to be here, there's no need to contact..."
Young Master Chen looked at the handsome and elegant young man in front of him. After he changed his clothes, he was even more attractive than the stunning sight he had seen at the beach before.
His heart was burning, but he was afraid of scaring Qiu Huoming, so he forced a smile, "This is my territory, I know it inside and out, do you want me to take you around and meet some people?"
"There's no need. If everything else is fine, I'm leaving." Qiu Huoming quickly walked around him and jumped off the stage.
Jin Chaopu in the audience gritted his teeth and followed.
Chen Shao looked at Qiu Huoming's back but did not chase after him. Since this man came to participate in the performance, it was only a matter of time before he knew who he was and what his background was.
He was not in a hurry. Sometimes hunting took some time. Otherwise, he glanced at his companions. He looked respectful and had a sense of fawning.
He exhaled, this was too boring.
Director Ji was a somewhat unruly person. When he saw Chen Shao, he just nodded slightly and left.
Chen Shao grabbed a staff member at random and started to inquire about Qiu Huoming's background.
Qiu Huoming came here randomly this time, and no ordinary staff would know who he was.
Chen Shao arrested several people but was unable to get any information from them. He suddenly felt itchy in his heart. He hadn't felt this way for a long time.
The more he couldn't get the answer, the more concerned he became.
Outside, Jin Chaopu had already left the building, and several people got into the car and drove towards the company.
His company is located in Central and rents half a floor of an office building. The company is neither big nor small. There are many companies like his in Hong Kong. Since Jin Chaopu has been in the industry for a long time and has good connections, the company's profits are still considerable.
The car stopped downstairs of the office building, and Qiu Huoming followed Jin Chaopu into his office.
It was still some time before noon, and as soon as he sat down, a staff member made a cup of coffee and brought it to Qiu Huoming.
Qiu Huoming sat in the boss chair, feeling very comfortable.
He took a sip of coffee and looked around. Outside the window he could see other tall buildings not far away. There were many office buildings in this area and the rent was not cheap.
The sun shines in through the side windows.
Jin Chaopu stood at the window and smoked a cigarette. After he finished the cigarette, he turned around and walked to his desk and sat down on the soft armchair.
He looked at Qiu Huoming and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Qiu Huoming raised his eyebrows, "I guessed what you want to say, isn't it just that Mr. Chen? I will return to the mainland in two days... Don't worry, I won't mess with this kind of person."
Jin Chaopu thought about it and realized that it was true. Qiu Huoming could not stay here for a few days. No matter how much Chen Shao tried, he would be unable to stop him.
After thinking about it, he felt relieved. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Huo Ming, what are you thinking? After you changed this song today, I think it's good..."
Qiu Huoming raised the corner of his mouth, "It has to fit the essence of the song. Think about it, Liang Zhu are just two children, an old-fashioned performance is not suitable, it has to be full of youthfulness..."
Jin Chuopu smiled and said, "This explanation does make some sense."
He simply took out a dozen music scores and said, "Huo Ming, let's figure out what style these songs should be in."
Qiu Huoming waved his hand, "Don't ask me, I just have some ideas about my song, for the rest, you can ask the songwriters, what do they want to express..."
Jin Chaopu was stunned by what he said. He put down the music score in his hand, feeling a little amused and helpless. "Alright, alright, I won't ask you any more questions. Let's go..."
He stood up and said, "Let's go home and eat."
Qiu Huoming drank the rest of the coffee in one breath, stood up, and went downstairs with Jin Chaopu.
Since Jin Chaopu got a car and a driver, his range of activities has increased a lot.
The money was well spent. He planned to learn how to drive when he had free time so that he could drive himself in case of emergency.
The two got in the car, and Qiu Huoming happened to ask about this matter, "Uncle, is it troublesome to get a driving license?"
At that time, not many people owned cars, and a driver's license was not a necessity but a luxury. After all, there were no professional driving schools, and usually it was the master who taught his apprentices how to drive.
Jin Chuopu told the story again, and Qiu Huoming was moved when he heard it, "Uncle, if I can drive, can I take the test?"
"Can you?" Jin Chaopu looked at him with confusion.
"I don't know now, but I'll learn it later, and I'll know it soon."
Jin Chaopu's mouth twitched, "Do you think learning to drive is so easy..."
"If you can drive, I'll arrange the exam for you..."
Qiu Huoming responded and both of them shut up.
Jin Chuopu leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest, while Qiu Huoming looked at the street scene outside the window curiously.
After driving for a while, the car arrived at the residential area and was still parked in the underground garage.
After Jin Chuopu sent the driver away, he took Qiu Huoming into the elevator...
It was a Filipino maid who opened the door. She had just put out the food. Qiu Huoming hadn't noticed anything at first, but when he smelled the aroma of food coming from the dining room, he suddenly felt hungry.
Zhao Jiamin was helping Lao Jin walk out of the bedroom. Compared to yesterday, Lao Jin looked much more energetic and his steps were bigger.
"Huo Ming, you're back so early? How did things go?" There was a soft cushion on Lao Jin's chair, and he sat on it.
Qiu Huoming's clothes were too formal. "Wait until I change my clothes..."
Jin Chuopu sat opposite Lao Jin, raised the corner of his mouth, and without waiting for Qiu Huoming to come back, he told him everything that happened today.
"It's a good thing I brought Huo Ming with me today, otherwise all the efforts I put in earlier would have been wasted."
After Qiu Huoming changed into home clothes, he sat next to Zhao Jiamin. She had already served him a bowl of soup.
After drinking the hot soup, the whole body felt refreshed. Lao Jin and Jin Chaopu were also drinking the soup. Zhao Jiamin whispered to Qiu Huoming, "Drink slowly..."
Old Jin on the opposite side glanced at them and coughed.
Zhao Jiamin immediately asked with concern: "Is the soup too hot?"
Lao Jin then shook his head, "Not hot, just right..."
Qiu Huoming didn't care about Lao Jin's jealousy. He approached Zhao Jiamin and said, "Today we met that Master Chen..."
Zhao Jiamin frowned, "How can it be such a coincidence."
Jin Chaopu sighed, "Their family has shares, but don't worry, Director Ji has a close relationship with the Chen family's parents, and he won't take a second-generation rich kid seriously."
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "I don't eat in this line of work, he can't control me..."
Lao Jin was still eating liquid food. He drank a mouthful of porridge and said, "Huo Ming is right. We don't do this kind of business..."
Jin Chaopu smiled bitterly and said, "You all look down on me, but this is my main job..."
Lao Jin shook his head. "It's suitable for you. You have a strong water element in your destiny, so you are most suitable for the entertainment industry. However..."
He stared at Jin Chaopu's brows and said, "I'm afraid you're going to lose money recently..."
"Your fortune has improved despite your financial loss..." Old Jin clicked his tongue and said, "How strange."
At the end of the month, continue to ask for monthly tickets~~
