Chapter 68: The Picture of Desperation Reveals
Seeking sponsorship...
At this time, Zhang Li was in the recording studio, and the sound engineer wearing professional monitoring headphones gestured to her that she could start singing.
Although Zhang Li is a student of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, she has never entered a recording studio to record her own song before. Just thinking about the impact this song might bring to her, she can't hide her excitement.
Fortunately, Zhang Li was clear that it wasn't time to get excited yet. She patted her chest, closed her beautiful eyes, and slightly opened her red lips. A clear and bright note burst out from her throat.
In the adjacent suite, An Junyi had been paying attention to the situation in the recording studio. He wasn't listening to Zhang Li's song for the first time. Yesterday, when Lin Yuying came to find him with her mobile phone recording of the song, he was deeply attracted to this song.
An Junyi is a seasoned musician, Zhang Li's slightly childish singing voice, he really can't stand it, he has been in contact with so many singers, songwriters, and pop stars before, idol-style, strength-style, countless, singing more maturely and professionally than Zhang Li.
What he values is the lyrics and composition of the song sung by Zhang Li.
This is what he's really interested in.
After a few minutes, Zhang Li finished singing a song with great enthusiasm. The recording engineer told her which parts were not sung well enough and what aspects could be improved.
Zhang Li nodded frequently and humbly accepted the recording engineer's suggestions.
On the sofa, An Shunyi clapped his hands a few times, "Uncle, putting aside my personal interest in Zhang Li, I really think she has the potential to become an excellent singer. As long as we can package her properly, there's no worry that we won't be able to make a fortune from her."
"You want to sign Zhang Li, I don't care about this matter, you can contact Zhang Li yourself. Hmm, later, you go and get in touch with Zhang Li, probe her tone, see if you can get out of her mouth who wrote the lyrics and composed this song, I've been looking for such a person for a long time." A determined light flashed deep in An Junyi's eyes.
An Shun nodded, hesitated for a moment, looked embarrassed, but still spoke up, "Uncle, we now have our own brokerage firm, recording studio, bar, and nightclub. We make a lot of money every year. You really don't need to take that matter too seriously, even if you can't..."
An Shun's words struck a sore spot for An Junyi, who slapped the armrest of the sofa heavily.
"What do you know? I've told you countless times, he's my uncle."
What makes me stand out in the domestic entertainment industry if it's not because of that bit of skill?
It's precisely because I still have some skills that domestic and foreign singers will find me, support my performances, and we can live a life of luxury, and you can take my money to chase girls.
"You say you change girls more often than clothes, without the skills to back it up, that's just a floating weed, who will still acknowledge our account?"
An Shun hastily lowered his head, "Sorry, uncle, it was my fault."
An Junyi sighed and said with a heavy heart:
"Shun Yi, Uncle, I have no children in my life, you are the only heir of our old An family. After I pass away at the age of 100, who else can I leave these properties to except for you?"
When you do things, use your brain more and don't say those unthinking words. You said my older brother is a smart and capable person, how come you didn't inherit his excellent genes, but instead followed my sister-in-law's example?
You said back then, I spent a lot of effort and money to send you to study at the Berkeley Music Academy in the United States. You're really something, playing with sports cars, chasing girls, fighting, and smoking marijuana. What's wrong with you? What did you learn? After just one year, the Americans kicked you out.
"When can you let me worry less?"
An Shun Yi lowered his head, and An Jun Yi did not see the discontent and resentment flashing in his eyes.
"Uncle, don't be angry, I've changed now, haven't I? Don't worry, I won't make you lose face."
An Junyi rubbed his brow, "Uncle doesn't want to nag you all the time either. You should pay more attention in the future, okay? Alright, go find Zhang Li now."
"Alright, uncle, I'll go now." An Shunyi turned around and left the suite, and came to the recording studio again.
At this time, Zhang Li had already recorded the second take, and the sound engineer was explaining the notes to her.
An Shun Yi patted the recording engineer's shoulder, "It's Zhang's first time recording a song, don't tire her out, let her take a break first."
The recording engineer knew what An Shunyi was and what kind of person he was, and thought that An Shunyi's heart of pitying flowers and loving flowers had acted up again. He nodded his head and said into the microphone: "Zhang classmate, this time is better than the previous one. How about this? You take some time to think about what I just told you, and we'll continue recording in half an hour."
An Shun Yi waved at Zhang Li through the glass partition.
Zhang Li walked out of the recording studio with a confused expression, "Mr. An, are you looking for me?"
An Shun Yi smiled and nodded, with a warm smile on his face. "Zhang classmate, your song is great, you're beautiful and have a sweet voice, with the potential to be the next generation's Sweet Song Queen. I personally think very highly of your future prospects."
Zhang Li smiled modestly, "Thank you for Mr. An's praise, I still have many shortcomings."
"You're being modest. But modesty is a virtue, and it can help people make progress, right? Just because of this, I'm even more convinced that your future achievements will be extraordinary. By the way, I want to ask, have you signed with a company yet? Do you have someone specifically helping you with packaging?"
An Shunyi lifted the curtain and threw out one of his true intentions.
Zhang Li shook his head, "There are some small companies that have contacted me, but I haven't responded."
"If you don't respond, that's fine. This is my business card, take a look first. You might not know yet? Teacher An has a professional brokerage company under her name, which has collaborated with many famous singers. If you can join our company, Teacher An will definitely spare no effort to package you, personally guide you, and lift your sedan chair for you, supporting you in making a big splash in the entertainment industry in the shortest time possible."
An Shunyi laid his cards on the table from the very beginning. In a good way, this is a manifestation of being confident and having enough capital; in a bad way, this shows that he doesn't understand negotiation skills.
According to An Shunyi's idea, as long as he opened his mouth to recruit Zhang Li, Zhang Li should have cried and begged to join their company. However, the reality did not go as he wished. Zhang Li just put away the business card and took out one of his own, handing it to An Shunyi.
"Mr. An, here is my email address, you can send your company's invitation to my mailbox and let me consider it carefully."
Zhang Li has high expectations for her own future, and she still keeps her chastity intact to this day. At least half of her motivation is to sell it at a good price. An Shunyi's few words were like trying to bring her under his control, but without taking out some real money, he thought too simply. She wasn't an innocent little girl who didn't understand human affairs.
