Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 18 Borrowing Strength
At the entrance of Friendship Hotel, Zhou Ziheng turned around and looked towards the hotel.

Wang Defa was still sitting on the sofa, looking at him with a smile.

He seemed certain that he had Zhou Ziheng in his grasp.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Ziheng suppressed his anger and thought about how to break the impasse.

It was obviously not feasible to just leave the Friendship Salon like this.

This is not the time when the underworld will be swept away by the state and become almost invisible in the future.

This was the nineties.

Guangdong Province is a place where countless people from all over the world gather together and where good and bad people mix.

At this time in Guangdong Province, gray forces can be seen everywhere.

Wang Defa was able to open such a large hotel next to the train station and run a karaoke bar without going bankrupt.

He possesses more than just hundreds of thousands of dollars in wealth.

Not to mention anything else, just the dozens of idle so-called security guards in the karaoke bar are enough to make Zhou Ziheng extremely careful.

He didn't want to die before he could accomplish his goal. He finally had the chance to become a big star, but was stabbed in the back and out in the back.

If that were true, he would die with his eyes open.

But Zhou Ziheng was unwilling to surrender.

As a post-2000s generation, he has always been soft-hearted and not hard-hearted.

If Wang Defa persuaded him in a kind way, he might really consider continuing to help Wang Defa sing in the nightclub in his spare time.

But the blatant threat from the other party made him even more dissatisfied, and he no longer wanted to stay here and be manipulated by others.

As he walked back to the dormitory, he was thinking about whether there was anyone he knew who could help him get rid of Wang Defa.

Borrowing strength and asking for help from others should be his only solution at the moment.

Otherwise, if he confronted Wang Defa head-on, it would undoubtedly be irrational and like an egg hitting a stone.

The first thing Zhou Ziheng thought of was the possible help he could get from his hometown of Dongguan.

His family was indeed bankrupt, but after all, they had been rich once.

His father is familiar with many famous people in Dongguan, and has good relationships with some of them.

However, this thought only came to his mind, and Zhou Ziheng put it aside.

First of all, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Although Dongguan and Guangzhou are not far apart, they are not the same city.

There are different forces between different cities.

Asking people from there to come over and help might be helpful, but it is definitely not as good as having capable local people come forward.

For example, Chen Xiaoqi.

Yes, Zhou Ziheng thought of Chen Xiaoqi.

He is not only the editor-in-chief of China Record Corporation, but also serves as the director of the newly established China Record Corporation's planning department.

This position gave him considerable respect in the official circles.

In addition to official interpersonal relationships.

Chen Xiaoqi is also familiar with Chen Kai, the owner of the largest karaoke bar in Guangzhou, and the two are very good friends.

Chen Kai's Butong 100 KTV has become the largest and most famous karaoke bar in Guangzhou, and even in the entire Guangdong Province, but no one dares to take a chance on it. It is obvious that the forces behind it and the power they control are not small.

If he could help...

Thinking of this, Zhou Ziheng stopped walking back to the dormitory, turned around and left the compound.

"It's hard to get together again on September 9th"

"Thinking people drifting outside"

"It's September again, the sorrow is even greater than before"

“The idea of ​​returning home is always in my mind”

……

At the gate, the security guard Lao Wang was lying on a recliner. The radio next to him was playing an unknown channel, but Zhou Ziheng's "Wine on September 9th" was on it.

The song floated in the air, and Lao Wang enjoyed it immensely, occasionally throwing a peanut into his mouth. "Ziheng! When will this tape of yours be published? Listening to the radio every day is really unpleasant!"

Seeing Zhou Ziheng walking out, he immediately sat up.

"Wait a minute! It's only a few days." Zhou Ziheng smiled.

For him, although Wang Defa had caused trouble.

But the popularity of "Wandering Song" on the radio is also a good thing.

This is the fulcrum for him to move towards a better future.

This was also the reason why he dared to ask Chen Xiaoqi for help in dealing with Wang Defa.

Although "Wandering Song" has not been released yet, its sales after its release are guaranteed because it is now a hit on the radio.

This component shows that Zhou Ziheng is a person with potential, which will make Chen Xiaoqi feel that Zhou Ziheng is worthy of help and may give him great rewards in the future.

Even if Chen Xiaoqi refused to help him, Zhou Ziheng still had a backup plan.

He had already made up his mind that if Chen Xiaoqi was not willing to help, or if he couldn't handle it, he would go directly to Pacific.

At worst, I can sign a new contract and sign myself under Pacific.

Anyway, no matter what, Zhou Ziheng was not going to stay in the Friendship Salon any longer.

He really couldn't stand working for someone who threatened his life as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You have to discuss this with the record company right away! It's really not pleasant to listen to the radio every day. I like the song 'Jiujiu Nv'erhong', but the radio station can only play it once a day." Lao Wang muttered.

"I can't do anything about this for now. It will take time for the record company to distribute the products."

Zhou Ziheng also knew what Lao Wang said.

But there was nothing he could do.

No one expected that the tape "Wandering Song" would become so popular so quickly after it was released on the radio.

This not only went beyond Zhou Ziheng's expectations, but also disrupted Pacific's plans.

Pacific originally planned to use more than half a month for promotion, which was based on their previous promotional methods using tapes and records.

But who would have thought that in just a few days, "Wandering Song" would become a hit on the radio.

Because the tape has not been released yet, listeners who hear the songs on this tape on the radio cannot buy the tape at all. If they want to listen to it, they can only listen to the radio.

After all, it is impossible for the radio station to play "Wandering Song" all day long, so it has to play other programs or songs.

This makes those people who have free time and want to listen to the songs on the tape "Wandering Songs" but can't do so feel very uncomfortable.

After chatting with Lao Wang for a few words, Zhou Ziheng left a message for Chen Xiaoqi in a public telephone booth on the street, telling him that he would come to find him, and then he took a taxi to the China Record Company.

Around noon, Zhou Ziheng arrived at the gate of China Record Company again.

"Ziheng, here!"

As soon as he got off the car, Zhou Ziheng heard a shout.

Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw Chen Xiaoqi's car parked not far away, and he was sitting in the car waving at Zhou Ziheng.

"Brother Xiaoqi!" Zhou Ziheng walked over quickly.

"You're really good! 'Wandering Song' has been played on the radio every day recently, and even my three-year-old daughter can hum a few lines from the tape.

To be honest, I now regret letting Pacific Publishing publish it.”

Chen Xiaoqi reached out to open the passenger door and spoke with a smile.

"I would also like to thank Brother Xiaoqi for his help!" Zhou Ziheng expressed his sincere gratitude.

Chen Xiaoqi played a vital role in the production of "Wandering Song" and its publication by Pacific Distribution.

If he hadn't used the back door to allow Zhou Ziheng to come to the recording studio of Zhong Records to record songs, and introduced him to Pacific Records at the same time.

Then he might still be worrying about his future, or even planning to sneak into Hong Kong.

"What are you thanking me for? Your songs are of good quality. With or without me, they will be noticed sooner or later."

Chen Xiaoqi waved his hand, indicating that it was not necessary.
