Rebirth: An Outlier in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 95 is destined to become a legend.

"Sister Chen, open the door!"

""

After Huang Yiliang knocked on the door three times, Yan Danchen opened it with a nervous expression.

"Sister Chen, why do I feel like I'm on a spy rendezvous?" Huang Yiliang asked curiously.

Why does he feel inexplicably excited?

Yan Danchen glared at Huang Yiliang.

"Didn't I tell you not to come?"

"Yes, yes, it was my fault!" Huang Yiliang nodded readily.

If it weren't for the fact that she was wearing such a sexy nightgown, Huang Yiliang would have believed this older sister's lies.

My handsome younger brother is delivering goods to your door, what more could you want?

I even took a shower.

At the same entryway, Huang Yiliang's movements were much more skillful this time.

The main reason is that Sister Chen cooperated very well!

It's pointless for only one person to take the initiative in this matter.

"Be gentle, someone lives next door," Yan Danchen whispered, her hands already gently resting on his shoulders.

Ah, this is a bit difficult!

"Okay, Sister Chen, I promise I'll be very gentle!" Huang Yiliang replied immediately.

At times like this, any man would say he's being gentle.

Even if his intelligence has been relegated to his lower body.

Huang Yiliang slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

Yan Danchen bit his shoulder in anger.

"Hiss—don't bite, it'll leave a mark."

It was already late; a row of neat teeth marks were faintly imprinted on Huang Yiliang's shoulder.

living room.

"Are you angry? This isn't entirely my fault. I told you to be gentle." Yan Danchen gently wiped the teeth marks on Huang Yiliang's shoulder with an alcohol swab.

She actually bit Huang Yiliang until he bled.

"Sister Chen, are you a puppy?" Huang Yiliang was speechless.

He didn't care about the pain; he was worried about being discovered by Sister Yuanyuan.

The last time Ya Huazi bit his arm and left a tooth mark, Huang Yiliang hid it for a long time before it disappeared.

"You're afraid your little girlfriend will find out, aren't you!" Yan Danchen turned her face away slightly. "Serves you right, who told you to send me messages to flirt with me every day?"

Don't you know that a single, mature woman is easily flirted with?

"Then don't reply to my messages!" Huang Yiliang said with a smile, grabbing Sister Chen's hand.

"Are you trying to kill me?! You're doing it again!" Sister Chen slapped Huang Yiliang's hand away.

"Hand me the pants."

Huang Yiliang pulled a deep blue velvet box out of his pocket.

"For me?" Yan Danchen was taken aback.

"Okay! Let's open it and take a look!" Huang Yiliang nodded.

Sister Chen's house is so simple; he couldn't even find a cup to drink some water.

"Sister Chen, may I use your cup?" Huang Yiliang asked.

Yan Danchen had no problem with it; the two of them had exchanged countless drops of saliva just now.

She carefully lifted the lid of the box, inside was an exquisite women's watch with a clear dial and a bezel set with diamonds, which was both luxurious and understated.

"This is too valuable, I can't accept it!"

"Really don't want it? That's such a waste!" Huang Yiliang took the box back and pretended to put it away.

Yan Danchen was furious as she watched Huang Yiliang wave the watch box in front of her.

She fell in love with the watch at first sight; it was so beautiful.

"Why did you suddenly give me a gift? It feels weird."

"It's to make up for your birthday present!" Huang Yiliang said earnestly.

"But I didn't have a birthday celebration?" Yan Danchen blinked.

"How come the manager from Xiaoxiangzhou told me that you were having a birthday party that day?" Huang Yiliang asked suspiciously.

"Oh—! That's someone else's birthday." Yan Danchen then realized that Huang Yiliang had misunderstood.

"You're paying for someone else's birthday? You're being ripped off!"

Huang Yiliang silently held Chen Jie's little hand, and the watch had somehow ended up on her wrist.

"Look how beautiful it is!"

Sister Chen is indeed very plain; she doesn't wear any jewelry.

"That's why I was angry that day!" Sister Chen said coquettishly.

"Oh—! So you're using me to relieve your pent-up frustration?"

"Are you trying to get yourself killed by saying such shameless things?" Sister Chen was so angry that she wanted to pinch Huang Yiliang.

"Don't pinch me, I'm willingly letting Sister Chen relieve my heat," Huang Yiliang quickly said.

"You still dare to talk back!"

"No need to tell us, we'll just do it!"

Huang Yiliang carried Sister Chen back to her room, and this time he put in extra effort.

"How much is this watch?"

Sister Chen is exhausted.

She even had to crawl out to check her watch, and this time she didn't dare say she didn't want it anymore.

That little brother is amazing!

Huang Yiliang held up two fingers.

Twenty thousand?

wrong!

Sister Chen knew something about Huang Yiliang's wealth.

"Two hundred thousand?" Sister Chen exclaimed in surprise.

Huang Yiliang nodded.

Sister Chen wanted to pinch him again.

"Two hundred thousand is enough for a down payment on a house. Can this watch be returned?" Sister Chen asked hurriedly.

Huang Yiliang chuckled. It was the first time he had given a woman such an expensive gift, and she actually wanted to return it.

No, she's definitely still not convinced, I have to deal with her.

Huang Yiliang is extremely efficient in this regard, and he immediately tackled Sister Chen to the ground.

"Wait a minute—uh—"

This time it took a full hour.

Sister Chen finally behaved herself.

Huang Yiliang also slept comfortably.

The bigwigs at traditional record companies like Rolling Stone, Warner, Universal, and Sony stayed up all night.

They couldn't understand how a small company like Karami, which had only been established for a few months, could cause such immense suffering to several of their century-old factories.

"Now there's no doubt that there are talented people in this 'Yellow Millet Dream' music! Everyone should take it seriously!"

"He's more than just capable, he's a fucking genius. If his second album were produced and distributed globally by Warner Music, the profits would be at least ten times higher." The Warner Music manager rubbed his temples, his tone a mixture of admiration and helplessness.

This guy clearly knows music.

But it was precisely because he understood music that he was even more furious. Ten songs, all of which could be used as theme songs, he actually crammed them all into one album.

This is animalistic behavior!

"I've inquired, the songwriter's name is Zhou Mengdie. Mr. Lu, Wang Fei from your company, Xinli, is very familiar with her. Do you think you could ask Wang Fei to arrange a meeting? We can discuss any terms!" Mr. Zhang from Rock Records said with a smile.

Those old bastards have already done the math.

Throughout Huangliangmeng Music Company, all the excellent lyrics and compositions were undoubtedly written by Zhou Mengdie.

As for the other random songs, they were too lazy to remember their names.

The main problem is that those names are particularly bizarre, and it's embarrassing to even mention them.

"Wang Fei? How come I don't know about this?" Mr. Lu from Xinli looked completely bewildered.

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

This idiot is completely irresponsible and doesn't even know anything about his own company.

"Did you know that Wang Fei has a song that will be performed on the Spring Festival Gala this year?" asked Mr. Zhang from Rock Records.

"There are two!" Warner's manager corrected.

"Two songs?" Mr. Zhang from Rolling Stone Records had "jealousy" written all over his face.

As a result, Mr. Lu from Xinli looked completely bewildered; clearly, he was unaware of the situation.

The CEOs of the three major record companies now want to team up and beat him up.

"That's right, the two songs selected for this year's Spring Festival Gala are 'By the Lake Baikal' and 'The World'." The Warner manager nodded very confidently.

"Both of these songs were written by Zhou Mengdie for Wang Fei, and they were given to Wang Fei for free. Do you think they have a good relationship?" the Warner manager continued.

This guy is definitely an ambitious person in the industry, a stark contrast to the laid-back CEO Lu.

"That's settled then, I'll ask later," Mr. Lu from Xinli quickly said.

Can't I poach people myself?

I'm taking advantage of your kindness.

President Lu felt that if he personally invited the person and offered the best salary and benefits, poaching a music producer from a small music company would be a piece of cake.

Then he went back and asked Faye Wong, and he was completely dumbfounded.

"Zhou Mengdie is one of Huang Yiliang's pen names!" Wang Fei explained with certainty.

Mr. Lu:

'

'

Taiwan.

Taipei area.

"Nunchucks, something bad has happened! Look, this is a CD that just arrived from the mainland. It contains seven amazing Chinese-style songs, each one comparable to your 'Nunchucks'!" A short man who didn't like washing his hair and preferred wearing a hat rushed into the recording studio.

"Vincent, calm down. Are there any musicians in mainland China who can write Chinese-style music?" Jay Chou was drinking his favorite mama's milk tea.

"Exactly, those people from the mainland can't even recognize all the traditional Chinese characters, do they even know what Chinese style is?" A muscular man next to him chimed in.

"Correct answer!"

Zhou Jie Gun and the muscular man clinked their milk tea cups together.

"You two should listen to this album first!" Fan Wenshan said with a defeated expression.

Zhou Jiegun took the disc and put it into the player.

"Wow, not bad! This music video is well-made, it's really lowbrow."

As soon as the first frame of the music video appeared, the few sleazy guys in the recording studio all laughed.

This music video is Huang Yiliang's masterpiece, which is full of painstaking effort. The video starts from Zhang Li's toes and goes up. In order to pass the censorship, he did not linger on the key parts, but instead blurred the camera for a moment and continued to climb.

"Wow! This photographer must have studied in Japan." Zhou Jie Gun couldn't help but praise.

Music: "You were the one who wanted to break up, so you broke up with me. Now you want to use true love to coax me back."

Zhou Jie Gun and the others looked at Fan Wenshan with black lines on their faces.

"You put in the wrong disc, this is the one," Fan Wenshan quickly explained.

"No, no, no, don't change the disc yet, listen to it one more time. Although the cheesy vibe of this song is very much in line with the mainland, the music video is really well made. We could poach this guy to direct a music video for the bandits!" the muscular man exclaimed.

"Don't lower my standards. I like the British style. Let's just watch this kind of music video privately!" Zhou Jie Gun firmly objected.

If my fans found out I like this stuff, would I still have any face left?

"What time is it? You guys are still in the mood for jokes." Fan Wenshan changed the disc without saying another word.

The first song on Huang Liangmeng Music's "December 2004 Album" is "Fairy Tale".

The moment the intro started, the musicians in the room immediately sensed something was different.

The melody of this piece is beautiful, and the arrangement is also very delicate. It has the popular Taiwanese style of fresh and clean music.

"—! I know this beautiful lady! What's her name?" Zhou Jie Gun immediately said.

"The latest version of 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber,' the one who plays Zhou Zhiruo," the muscular man immediately added.

The music videos for "Fairy Tale" and "Blue and White Porcelain" were both performed by Sister Yuan Yuan for free. Huang Yiliang was really heartbroken at the time. If the scene hadn't been wrong, he would have wanted to repay her with his body during the filming.

However, since Huang Yiliang personally carried the camera, Yuanyuan's gaze at the camera while filming was incredibly gentle.

That tender and affectionate look was a genuine expression of emotion, and the effect was particularly good.

The phenomenal success of the "December 2004 Album" definitely owes a debt to Sister Yuanyuan.

Wow! Her eyes are so beautiful.

"I think her smile is particularly expressive."

"You bunch of bastards, are you listening to music?!" Fan Wenshan couldn't help but curse.

"This song is great! It's definitely going to be a hit!" several musicians exclaimed.

The second song, "Blue and White Porcelain," began.

The people in the room were stunned.

Zhou Chuanxiong's Chinese-style compositions are quite rigorous, with arrangements based on the guzheng and erhu, and melodies that are melodious and lingering. This is very different from the noisy Chinese-style compositions of Zhou Jie Gun, which are a hybrid of Western hip-hop, fast-paced rap, and metal rock.

Of course, Zhou Jie Gun's style gradually shifted to a more purely Chinese style, but it was included in the later songs of the December album.

"Damn! Who wrote this song? It's really awesome!" Zhou Jie Gun's eyes began to look serious.

Although he didn't create the Chinese style, the company is now packaging him as the spokesperson for the Chinese style, and he can't lose to other musicians of the same type.

"Zhou Mengdie, he wrote both the lyrics and the music!" Fan Wenshan shook his head and sighed.

Next came the third, the fourth... and the tenth song.

Each song was like a heavy hammer blow, striking their eardrums and their hearts.

The group of people in the recording studio went from surprise to shock to disbelief to collapse in just ten songs.

Their expressions now are exactly the same as Fan Wenshan's just now.

"Zhou Mengdie?"

"I've never heard of this name before!"

"So this is a newcomer, and for a newcomer to debut with such a bombshell, that's fucking amazing!"

Jay Chou leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

He might be able to write the melodies for "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Far Away" if given a few more years to reflect on them, but he's completely clueless about the lyrics.

Moreover, the later song "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has an arrangement that combines rock, Chinese style, and Peking Opera singing, which is very similar to his style of mixing various music, but it is slightly better than his.

Especially the line spoken in the opera style, "Waiting for the moment my beloved returns, tears will sing for you," was absolutely chilling.

"This guy must be insane! He's putting so many amazing songs into one album, is he trying to exhaust all his talent at once?"

Zhou Jie Gun muttered to himself, his eyes unfocused.

Not only does Zhou Jie Gun not understand this, but no one in the entire Chinese music industry understands what Huang Liang Meng Music is trying to do.

"Wait, when will his album be released in Taiwan?" Zhou Jie Gun suddenly became nervous.

His new album is in preparation; he mustn't run into this powder keg, or he'll suffer a terrible fate.

While record sales can be compensated for by one's own appeal and the company's distribution capabilities, the quality of the work will definitely be compared by the news media.

"This music company doesn't release albums in Taiwan."

Fan Wenshan's words brought a sigh of relief to Zhou Jiegun and the others.

But the other party's next words drove them all crazy.

"What they're selling is a license. Any music distributor in Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwan only needs to pay a license fee of one yuan to release these two albums from their company an unlimited number of times within five years."

"Fan Wenshan, are you crazy, or are we crazy?"

"We didn't take any drugs today, this is pure milk tea!" The muscular man shook his head.

He noticed that the other people were also shaking their heads.

"Neither you nor the other side are crazy."

Fan Wenshan shook his head and sighed: "I heard it's because the other party's distribution channels were jointly blocked by the five major record companies in our Chinese music industry, so they had no choice but to grant them free authorization."

The people in the recording studio were all speechless.

That night, Zhou Jie Gun and his friends were not the only ones speechless.

Musicians across the entire Chinese music scene were speechless.

That night, they all learned that there was a strange company in mainland China called "Huang Liangmeng Music".

Even if they go bankrupt tomorrow.

Their December 2004 album alone is destined to become a legend.
