Chapter 221

Gentle Township, Tomb of Heroes.

Lu Dongjie finally felt it. Under Zhao Yazhi's considerate service, Lu Dongjie dressed neatly and went out early in the morning.

The Japanese people had arrived in Hong Kong at noon yesterday, but the passenger plane they were on had been hovering over Kowloon for more than two hours due to a malfunction in the front landing gear, and finally had no choice but to make an emergency landing.

Fortunately, the ground at the airport had prepared countermeasures and the captain was highly skilled. Otherwise, the plane would have crashed head-on. There would have been not only sparks and lightning all the way, but also the possibility that it would have overshot the runway and crashed directly into the Victoria Sea.

After this frightening trip, I believe that the Japanese may not be in the mood to discuss cooperation, so they settled in the Sheraton Hotel to rest for one night, and the meeting was scheduled for this morning.

Xu Ruoqi and translator Yu Xiaoxin left the conference room, followed by two men and a pretty girl.

The translator is a little girl Xu Ruoqi found. I heard that she graduated from Waseda the year before last and was an employee of the Japanese Consulate in Hong Kong.

"This is Mr. Shusuke Kikumaru from Watanabe Agency, and this is Mr. Yuta Ishida from Warner Pioneer." Yu Xiaoxin introduced to Lu Dongjie from the front.

"Lu Sang, this is the first time we meet, please give me some advice." Shusuke Kikumaru bowed slightly and handed over his business card with both hands.

Another Ishida Yuta also did the same thing in turn. It must be said that the Japanese did a good job in etiquette.

Originally, the two Japanese were somewhat arrogant before coming here. As the center of Asia's pop music scene, Japan's status is enough to dwarf the rest. Their mentality during this trip was inevitably a bit contemptuous.

Last night they temporarily bought two records published by Universal Music Records to listen to, hoping to see how good this company's record production was. Unexpectedly, both of them were shocked after listening to them.

Although they can't understand Mandarin and Cantonese, judging from the song melodies and arrangements of the two records, the production level and quality are very high, not worse than the Japanese ones, even better, but not inferior to them.

.

This forced them to re-examine this cooperation. From the company's instructions that they should treat this cooperation with caution, they knew that the other company was definitely not something they could deal with casually.

Sure enough, from the moment they stepped into Universal Music Records today, the two of them intuitively felt the strength of this record company. The office environment was full of modern elements, the vibrant work atmosphere was full of modern atmosphere.

.

Therefore, the two of them put away their contemptuous attitude and adopted a humble attitude.

Lu Dongjie took the business card and looked at it carefully. Shusuke Kikumaru was sent by Watanabe Agency to take charge of artist contracts, and Yuta Ishida was sent by Warner Pioneer as a producer.

"Hello, Miss Chen." Lu Dongjie stretched out his hand first and spoke in Cantonese.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, I am also your fan." Chen Meiling shook hands with Lu Dongjie and said with a sweet smile.

"Really, that's such an honor." Lu Dongjie smiled brightly.

Chen Meiling became famous at a young age in Hong Kong, and then went east to Japan to develop, and also enjoyed great fame in Japan.

Although she quit her job and went to Canada to study after leaving Japan, her teenage fans still miss her.

Even though she was in Canada, the Japanese record company explained that her parents had signed a contract for her singing performances and recording during her spare time. Even when she was on vacation, she still needed to return to Japan to fulfill the contract.

Originally, Chen Meiling was studying in the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Toronto and was expected to graduate in May. Her older sister, Chen Yiling, was also studying in Canada, majoring in television directing.

The two sisters were planning to finish their studies, one to make a comeback in the Japanese music scene, and the other to return to Hong Kong to get married. However, their father passed away in March. Both of their plans were changed because they had to attend his father's funeral, and both were postponed to

Next year.

Lu Dongjie didn't know much about this beautiful girl singer. He probably knew that she came from a wealthy family and lived in a garden villa in Repulse Bay. What impressed him most was that she later gave birth to three sons who were top academics.

After the two sides exchanged polite greetings, they started talking about business. Mainly Xu Ruoqi was talking to them, while Lu Dongjie was listening, adding a few comments from time to time.

According to the preliminary cooperation intention negotiated before, Universal Music Records will be responsible for producing this single record, Watanabe Agency will be responsible for production and promotion, and Warner Pioneer will be responsible for distribution.

The content of the division of labor has been determined. Now everyone mainly disagrees on the distribution of benefits. After all, this cooperation is quite risky. If the single record does not adapt to the climate after being exported to Japan, everyone will lose money.

Chen Meiling had nothing to do and secretly looked at Lu Dongjie. During the time she left Hong Kong, this man rose like a comet.

In more than half a year, he not only became a popular figure in the pop music world, but also entered the world pop music scene with an English single.

What she just said was Lu Dongjie's fans, and she wasn't speaking politely. She has collected and listened to Lu Dongjie's music records. She has been attracted to Lu Dongjie for a long time.

Interestingly, the first time she came into contact with Lu Dongjie's work was "The God of Wealth Arrives". She and her sister were studying in Canada at the time and could not return to Hong Kong to celebrate the New Year. Their parents bought several records to let them feel the spirit of the New Year.

Someone sent it over.

This is the first time she has come across an album that combines New Year songs and pop music so perfectly. It doesn't have the old-fashioned taste of Cantonese New Year songs at all. The melody and lyrics are full of joy without losing the pop elements. It is really suitable for both refined and popular tastes.

She was born singing English songs. At that time, whether it was Mandarin contemporary music or Cantonese pop music, she felt it was very old-fashioned, so she resolutely chose to pursue a career in the Japanese music scene.

But it was Lu Dongjie who broke her concept for the first time, gained a new understanding of Cantonese pop music, and gradually discovered that it has merits and is not blindly old-fashioned.

But at that time, the record was from a band called Fu Lu Shou. She inquired several times but didn’t know who it was from. It wasn’t until she came back from Canada for the funeral that this man had already won the first gold medal with this record.

Record award.

But at that time, this man's most popular music work was the theme song "Grateful Heart" produced for the Community Chest. At that time, the TV stations and radio stations played it more than ten times a day, and she was tired of hearing it.

She couldn't figure it out at the time. From Cantonese New Year songs, pop songs, to Mandarin pop songs, the style change was so extreme. How could such a span be written by the same person?

It was at that time that she became curious about Lu Dongjie and began to pay attention to this man consciously.

After the funeral, she returned to Canada to continue her studies. One day, she suddenly heard the majestic song "Vida" from a mainstream Canadian radio station. The melody, tune and lyrics completely shocked her at that time.

She looked up the singer's name and it was Jack Lu, but she didn't recognize it, so she went to the publishing company to check it out. Finally, she found out that it was from the British PolyGram Group Company, so there was nothing more to say.

By chance, she found out that Jack Lu was Lu Dongjie from a news item on a Canadian Chinese radio station, because at that time he was causing an international political turmoil because of this song.

This made her even more curious about Lu Dongjie, so she asked someone to help her collect any records about Lu Dongjie. If there were no records, she would use white tape to record them from the radio station.

It can be said that although she and Lu Dongjie have never met, they seem to have known each other for a long time.

Now that this man was living in front of her, she felt both curious and expectant. She really wanted to know what kind of song this man would give her to sing.

"Ms. Chen..." Lu Dongjie called her several times.
