"What do you think Miss Lu is thinking? Has she offended Zhou too much this time?"
"Oh, yes. In fact, Zhou seemed to have restrained himself at that time. There was no need for her to chase him away, right?"
"Didn't you see the expression on Zhou's face when she left? She really wanted to eat me."
"Miss Lu is not afraid of Zhou, but the elders of the Zhou family are a bit difficult to deal with. Miss Lu was a little inconsiderate."
"I don't know why she values these two people."
"Who knows? But didn't she say that she would have a private chat with Zhou later? With Miss Lu's status, she could have just said a few nice words and Zhou would have stepped down."
"It's hard to understand what the big shots are thinking."
...
Although Lu Wei's handling was perfect and basically impeccable, people's hearts were still uneasy.
Especially those people from the business and entertainment circles who have been surrounding Zhou A since they came here today.
This group of people is very hurt.
With their status, they have no chance to really connect with Lu Wei. They can only say happy birthday and show their faces.
Lu Wei is unlikely to cooperate with them.
They came here today, on the surface, just to flatter Zhou A, but in fact, this group of people have their own demands on Zhou A, hoping to reach a certain agreement with Zhou A in a certain field and business.
They came here to make friends, build relationships and discuss business.
But now Zhou A has been driven away, and they haven't followed him yet, which is a little embarrassing.
Everyone knows that Zhou A is petty.
These people inevitably felt worried that they had not taken action to show their support for him at the critical moment, and that he would bear a grudge against them.
What if they failed to get the business and offended him instead?
But if they were given another chance to choose, they would still stay.
Leaving would offend Lu Wei.
Staying would offend Zhou A.
Everyone knew which was more important.
But the most painful thing for them was that even if they did not offend Lu Wei, they could not get any benefit, so they could only huddle together and complain in a low voice.
At this moment, the sound of an amplifier rang out in the small courtyard, and it was Lu Wei who went on stage to speak.
She first simply thanked the guests for taking the time to come here, and then made a few jokes to liven up the atmosphere.
These are all things without much nutrition and meaning, but the so-called socializing is roughly composed of these contents.
"Everyone knows my original rules. Usually I will sing two songs, but this time Jiaqi just released a new song, so I invited Jiaqi to the stage to sing a song for everyone. How about it?"
Everyone applauded politely to welcome her. There
were also several bosses and executives who were engaged in traditional record CD channels who publicly stated that they would definitely increase the purchase volume and increase marketing efforts when the time comes.
Representatives from several domestic online music platforms were also very generous. They took out high-standard B-level contracts on the spot. The vice president of Kugou even took out the A-level contract that he had kept in the bottom of the box.
Kugou's strategy of recruiting a large number of new artists and new songs to try to overtake Q Music was executed very well before, and it almost succeeded in defeating Q Music.
But after the release of the magical "Boring", Kugou's heavy investment in the pursuit of a whole quarter became a waste of effort.
This hurt Kugou a lot.
Lin Youyi, the head of Kugou's copyright department, was even transferred from his position because of this. It seemed to be a normal transfer, but in fact it was a demotion.
Although Lin Youyi's performance in recruiting the song "Boring" was not bad, he had a forward-looking vision and made correct judgments.
But in the business world, people only look at the results, not the process.
Only the results matter, the capable ones are promoted and the mediocre ones are demoted.
Lin Youyi failed to help KuGe get this song, which further widened the gap between the company and Q Music.
Then someone has to take the blame, and it can only be Lin Youyi.
When He Jiaqi walked onto the stage with a microphone in hand and an electric guitar on her back, the onlookers who had been paying attention to the conflict between Chen Feng, Zhong Lei and Zhou A realized the ins and outs of it.
Wasn't the new song sung by the college student just now written by Chen Feng for He Jiaqi?
"Thank you Weiwei for giving me this opportunity. Now I will bring you my new song, "It's Late at Night." He Jiaqi tapped the guitar in her arms and said, "Because I haven't started the official production yet, there is no accompaniment. Today I will play and sing by myself."
Lu Wei beside her interrupted in time, "Did you hear that? Today you are in for a treat. This is the first release of the collector's edition. Thank you Jiaqi."
When they heard that it was really the first release of the private collector's edition, the atmosphere in the venue was indeed a little heated.
Everyone held their breath.
He Jiaqi smiled, plucked two chords slightly, but stopped.
"This is a rock song, and guitar accompaniment alone doesn't seem to be enough. So, I invite Mr. Chen Feng, the most talented music genius I have ever known, who wrote the lyrics and music for "It's Late at Night", to come on stage as a drummer to help me play the drums. What do you think?"
As he was talking, a staff member brought up the drums.
These people hadn't discussed it with him before, so Chen Feng was caught off guard.
He did learn to play the drums during his last dream, but he wasn't as proficient as he was with the guitar. In his opinion, it was just so-so.
The important thing is that he has never had experience in public performances, and he didn't plan to go on stage.
But He Jiaqi's reasons were very sufficient, and it was hard to refuse.
"Can you... play drums?"
Zhong Lei asked quietly. She had heard Chen Feng play guitar many times, but she had never heard him play drums.
Lu Wei and He Jiaqi on the stage were waving at Chen Feng.
The two of them had never thought about whether Chen Feng could play drums.
How could someone who could write such a song not know the core instruments in the score?
"Forget it, I'll do it."
Chen Feng lifted his foot and walked up a step.
Lu Wei smiled brilliantly.
He Jiaqi's face was full of expectation.
Zhong Lei looked at his back and rarely showed a trace of worry.
Sitting on the drum set, Chen Feng looked around, and then personally moved the arrangement of the drum set.
This is his habit.
It is said that an expert can tell whether it is good or not with just one move.
Chen Feng's simple operation, in the eyes of those who know the business, has an inexplicable charm.
He has always regarded himself as a craftsman, because he never thought he had talent.
Therefore, when Chen Feng was learning, he used a very rigid way of thinking, not seeking any creative ideas that would come from inspiration, but only seeking to restore the accuracy as much as possible.
He did not think that this little habit of his had any significance, after all, he had never communicated with anyone else about his performance.
He was extremely lacking in confidence when it came to performing on stage. "Well, let me make this
clear first. I can write songs, but I don't seem to be very good at performing. You may not believe me, but two months ago I was a complete layman. I just learned to play the drums this month, so I'll learn it now. If I don't play well later, I'll be embarrassed, and everyone please don't laugh at me."
He was very "humble" and "low-key" while speaking the truth in a certain sense.
But He Jiaqi and Lu Wei were surprised.
He Jiaqi asked, "Really?"
Chen Feng nodded, "Absolutely true, I just started learning this month."
