Chapter 257 Chapter 256, Getting Something for Nothing
Jiang Feng, Huayi Brothers Media Company is willing to set up a music company specifically for you, and spend another huge sum of 8000 million RMB to sign you. Now we are just waiting for you to nod in agreement.

...

It was already 2 o'clock the next morning when Jiang Feng heard this shocking news from Wang Jinghua. He had slept for more than ten hours and just came back from his morning run on the playground of the Film Academy. He met Wang Jinghua and Li Xing behind her at the door of his house.

Both of them were carrying luggage, and they were planning to meet up with Jiang Feng to go to Hong Kong Island.

Jiang Feng used the key to open the door and let Wang Jinghua and Li Xing into the house. He then went to the kitchen to cook. His flight was at 10 a.m. and was still three hours away, so he still made it in time.

"Sister Hua, what do you plan to eat?" Jiang Feng asked.

"You can eat anything, as long as you make it."

In the past, Wang Jinghua always took care of Jiang Feng like a nanny. Even when it snowed heavily during the New Year, she would still drive over to bring Jiang Feng food.

But after tasting Jiang Feng's cooking skills, she never worked with Jiang Feng again. Even if she did, she would only help Jiang Feng with the work, such as peeling, pounding garlic, or washing dishes.

Just like today, when Wang Jinghua saw Jiang Feng walk into the kitchen, she followed him in with a small stool, and then stood by the trash can, peeling garlic while chatting with Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Sister Hua, go ahead."

"I don't recommend you to sign with Huayi Music, which hasn't been established yet, even though we belong to the same company."

"Why?" Jiang Feng asked while cutting meat.

In order to save time, Jiang Feng planned to make noodles with soybean paste for breakfast today. However, the noodles with soybean paste Jiang Feng made was different from the old Beijing noodles with soybean paste. He used the method of Shandong Province.

First, stir-fry the minced meat, garlic, scallions, and ginger in oil until fragrant, then add the best soybean paste. Of course, if someone likes to eat eggs, you can also spread the eggs into pancakes, chop them up, and add them in...

“Because this time, I felt like Big Wang and Little Wang were trying to get something for nothing. Although they said they were willing to pay you 8000 million RMB as a signing fee, only 8000 million RMB was in cash, and the remaining 1500 million RMB was all shares of Huayi Music.

The initial investment amount for this music company, which has not yet been established, is set at RMB 3.5 million, which means that your shares will be less than 20%.

Well, you are not only a singer of Huayi Music, but also the music director of this music company, responsible for composing songs for singers signed by Huayi Brothers Agency..."

wipe…

After hearing Wang Jinghua's introduction, Jiang Feng almost swore.

It turns out that both the big and small kings are very shrewd characters. Their calculations are so clever that even the King of Hell would have to praise them!

A music company only needs to rent a venue, buy some recording equipment, and find someone to help build a recording studio. That’s all... and they dared to claim to have invested 3.5 million RMB.

It is no wonder that more than a decade later, the famous Stephen Chow was cheated out of his pants by these two brothers.

"Well..., Jiang Feng, what do you think?"

"me?"

Jiang Feng started to stir-fry the meat sauce while laughing, "I am short of money, so I plan to sell myself and sign a contract with EMI Music. If the two Wang brothers don't have cash, then there is no point in discussing this."

"Yeah, that's what I mean too."

At this time, Wang Jinghua peeled the garlic, rinsed it with water, put it on the chopping board, and asked Jiang Feng to keep it ready. Then she left the kitchen and went to the balcony to make a phone call.

Jiang Feng knew without even listening that she must have gone to report the results to Wang Zonglei.

As soon as Wang Jinghua left, Li Xing walked into the kitchen. The two of them seemed to have discussed it beforehand, and one took over the other's performance.

"Brother Feng, before we go to Hong Kong Island, there are three things I need to confirm with you."

"Okay, you say."

After the meat sauce was fried, Jiang Feng added a little water to the pot and let it stew. When it was time to serve, he added some fresh diced radish and cucumber to increase the taste of the meat sauce. Then, he started another stove to boil water. "①, the Spring Festival Gala production team contacted me and said that they hope you can still appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala this year, and the song they chose for you is "Love is You and Me" from your latest music album."

"Is it okay not to participate?" Jiang Feng asked.

To be honest, what I talked about with Han Shanye yesterday was not an excuse. Jiang Feng really wanted to go back home early.

"Sister Hua and I both agree that you must participate. First, the national television station is big enough to invite you, which means you are very popular. Second, it will help you win awards. Well, you may not know that the TV series "Never Close Your Eyes" starring you will be participating in the 18th Golden Eagle TV Art Festival."

"Oh, that's fine. I attended the Spring Festival Gala in 2000."

When he heard that there was a prize to be won and it didn't cost any money, Jiang Feng immediately agreed.

"Um…"

Li Xing nodded, wrote a few words on the notebook he brought with him, and then continued speaking.

"②, the national television martial arts drama "Swordsman" will start auditions on January 1 next year. After I submitted your information, director Zhang Da Huzi scheduled your audition on January 2, and the audition location is Media International Center."

"Okay, remind me about this when the time comes." Jiang Feng nodded and agreed.

"③Yesterday morning, I received a call from Hong Kong director Ann Hui, who said that it was difficult to coordinate the schedules of Hong Kong actors Wu Yuzu and Shu Qi. After her efforts in many aspects, the filming of the movie "Beijing Music and Road" was finally scheduled to start in July next year.

Director Ann Hui asked if we had any questions.

"Um…"

Jiang Feng, who was about to take the noodles out of the pot, thought for a moment and said:

"Li Xing, do you know in which month the TV series "Swordsman" will start filming?"

"It is tentatively scheduled for March next year, and the shooting period should be about 3 months." Li Xing looked at the records in his notebook and said.

"Okay, tell Director Ann Hui that there's no problem here."

"Well, but..."

Li Xing wanted to say something, but then he saw Jiang Feng scoop a spoonful of meat sauce and pour it on the noodles that had just been served, and the noodles immediately filled the air with fragrance.

Smelling the fragrance, Li Xing stopped talking, put down the notebook and pen in his hands, and happily picked up a big bowl and walked towards the restaurant, shouting as he walked.

"Sister Hua, dinner is ready."

"The noodles made by Brother Feng are absolutely amazing. Just looking at them makes people very hungry, not to mention the aroma."

…………

Hong Kong Island, Jiang Feng came here for the third time.

The first time was as a guest to attend the solo concert of pop diva Wang Fei; the second time was to record the song "Love Is You and Me" and also attended the disaster relief benefit concert on September 1th.

Today is the third time...

This time, Jiang Feng's purpose was also very clear, that is, to attend the signing ceremony of EMI Music. Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, Li Jing and Wang Jinghua represent themselves in the negotiation with EMI Music smoothly.

If the negotiations do not go smoothly or even fail, then basically, Jiang Feng, Wang Jing, Hua Li Xing and their group's trip would have been in vain.

Therefore, at 2:4 p.m., four people came out of the terminal of Hong Kong International Airport, and Wang Jinghua and Li Xing took a taxi to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, where Yao Qian, general manager of EMI Music in Asia, would be waiting, and the two sides would hold the final negotiations there.

As for Jiang Feng...

He took his assistant Guo Xiaofeng to Guotai Junan Securities Co., Ltd. located at New Era Plaza, 181 Queen's Road, Hong Kong Island.
