That's just the way some things are.

Plans are not as fast as changes!
Since Jiang Feng had a very pleasant cooperation with EMI Music on his previous album "He Must Love You", and the album sales directly exceeded 400 million copies, Jiang Feng went for it the first time he planned to sign a contract with the music company.

But at the end of the negotiations, no one expected that Universal Music would intervene. Not only did the head of Universal Music come to visit in person late at night, but he also offered very generous conditions:
Jiang Feng, the copyright of the songs you personally create belongs entirely to you personally; our company has no rigid requirements for you to create songs for singers in the same company, you can write for whoever you like, and if you don't like any of them, then don't write.

Compared with the above two points, the condition that Jiang Feng was most interested in was the signing fee. Universal Music not only offered 2 million Hong Kong dollars, but also a one-time payment.

Therefore, under such a huge temptation, at the last moment, Jiang Feng simply gave up signing with EMI Music and instead cooperated with Zheng Donghan's Universal Music.

Zheng Donghan was also very considerate.

On December 1999, 12, the day Jiang Feng signed the contract, Universal Music held the signing ceremony with the highest standards for the first time. Universal Southeast Asia President Xu Zhiwei, Universal Hong Kong Managing Director Hong Di, Universal Taiwan President Zhang Songhui, Universal Chinese Records Senior Vice President Zhu Guozheng, Universal China Chief Representative Zhou Ruikang and a group of 8 people all appeared at the Oriental Mandarin Hotel in Hong Kong Island. Universal's superstars Tam Wing-lin and Jacky Cheung were also present as singer representatives to congratulate Jiang Feng on his successful signing...

I don’t know if it’s because he was just a otaku in his previous life, but Jiang Feng has a natural aversion to all lively occasions such as signing ceremonies and award ceremonies.

Jiang Feng always wanted to hide in a corner alone and watch the performances of these people quietly, instead of standing among them and accepting all kinds of hypocritical greetings and blessings.

However, there was no other way. If one wanted to stand out in the entertainment industry, this kind of occasion was a must. Therefore, Jiang Feng, who appeared in this kind of occasion for the first time, could only cheer himself up like this. It was just a performance...

You perform in front of me, and I will perform in front of you!

The effect was quite good. At the signing ceremony where the spotlights were constantly flashing, Jiang Feng not only chatted and laughed with the senior executives of Universal Music, but also exchanged phone numbers with Aaron Kwok and Jacky Cheung. Both parties agreed that they could sit together for tea when they had time and discuss singing techniques and creative experiences.

As soon as the signing ceremony was over, Jiang Feng, accompanied by his agents Wang Jinghua and Li Xing, returned to Beijing from Hong Kong Island. The reason why he left so quickly was because something unexpected happened in the crew of "Swordsman".

The audition, originally scheduled for January 2000, 1, was moved forward due to some force majeure.

.........

[Beijing Daily:
Mainland singer Jiang Feng joined Universal Music for a record-breaking fee of 7000 million Hong Kong dollars, becoming a junior fellow student of pop superstars Alan Tam and Jacky Cheung.

According to insiders, Universal Music attaches great importance to Jiang Feng's joining. They not only want to make him an Asian superstar, but also want to push him to the world music scene.

You should know that several English songs composed by Jiang Yulang, also known as Jiang Feng himself, such as "Apologize", "The day you went away" and "Dancing with Your Ghost" have achieved remarkable results in the European and American music markets.

For example, the song "Apologize" written by Jiang Feng and performed by Wang Fei has been on the US Billboard Music Chart for 20 consecutive weeks...】

Beijing International Airport
In the parking lot in front of the terminal, Li Lianhua sat quietly in her car, smoking and reading a newspaper.

I have read several newspapers in a row. As long as it is the entertainment section, the front-page headline is always the news about Jiang Feng signing a contract with Universal Music.

There's no way, this news is too explosive.

A singer from the mainland not only successfully entered the Hong Kong and Taiwan music market, but also won a first place in recent years, with a net worth of over 7000 million Hong Kong dollars.

Although the 7000 million Hong Kong dollars is not given for free, Universal Music will deduct it from Jiang Feng's subsequent record income and concert income, but this fully represents Universal Music's optimism about Jiang Feng's future.

When the cigarette was finished, Li Lianhua lowered the car window, flicked the cigarette butt out in a casual manner, then straightened her clothes and got out of the car.

Time is up.

Jiang Feng, Wang Jinghua, and Li Xian should have come out of the airport gate. As expected, as soon as Li Lianhua walked to the terminal gate, she saw Li Xian, Jiang Feng, and Wang Jinghua coming out together with their luggage.

"Hello, Sister Hua!"

"Haha, hello, Bingbing."

When she saw Li Lianhua, Wang Jinghua smiled brightly.

This trip to Hong Kong Island was absolutely worth it. After staying there for two or three days, my income reached 700 million Hong Kong dollars. According to the agreement signed between me and Jiang Feng, the commission of the income was 10%.

Of course, he couldn't keep the 700 million Hong Kong dollars all to himself, he had to give 50 Hong Kong dollars to Li Xing, after all, she was the one who negotiated the project.

But this still makes Wang Jinghua very excited.

But at this moment, Li Lianhua looked embarrassed.

"Sister Hua..."

"Ok?"

"I read the script of the TV series "The Smart Kids", and I think it doesn't quite match my personality, so I think..."

Knowing Wang Jinghua's personality, Li Lianhua basically speaks her mind in front of her.

"So, Sister Hua, I want to follow Jiang Feng to the crew of "Swordsman". Well, it doesn't matter if I can't get the leading female role of Ren Yingying. I can play Lan Fenghuang, Yue Lingshan, or even the nun of Hengshan Sect."

Originally, everyone was walking towards the parking lot happily, but after hearing what Li Lianhua said, Wang Jinghua, Li Xing, Jiang Feng and even Jiang Feng's assistant Guo Xiaofeng all stopped.

Seeing everyone stop and look at her, Li Lianhua did not back off, but faced everyone's gaze and said, "Jiang Feng is basically the most promising actor in the mainland now. Every TV series he stars in becomes a hit, and every music album he releases becomes a huge hit. Otherwise, Universal Music would not spend a huge amount of money to sign him.

Zhang Da Huzi, the producer of the National Television Station's Film and Television Production Center, noticed this point about Jiang Feng, which is why he kept making statements in recent media interviews.

Now, the crew of "Swordsman" selects actors around Jiang Feng. No matter how good your acting skills are or how good your image is, as long as you and Jiang Feng are not a good match, I'm sorry, you will not appear in our TV series.

Sister Hua, in this situation, I think it would be a big loss if we don’t make good use of it.”

Everyone understood Li Lianhua's explanation.

Wang Jinghua, get started quickly.

This is the way you are best at, buy one and get one free. If you don’t accept our gift, then we won’t sell you the one you want.

"Jiang Feng, what do you think?"

Wang Jinghua turned and looked at Jiang Feng.

"I have no objection. After all, you negotiated the performance contract on my behalf, and I am only responsible for the acting." Jiang Feng shrugged and dragged his luggage towards the BMW 740 parked not far away.
