Chapter 96: Huang Xishan's Surprise
Xiangjiang, halfway up Jiulong Mountain, where every inch of land is at a premium, in a luxurious villa.
A man in his 60s with gray hair and brown glasses was setting up tables and chairs in the courtyard, making tea leisurely and reading the newspaper.
The content in the newspaper is clearly the latest racecourse news.
Huang Xishan is in a rare good mood recently. As a former romantic talent and a genius lyricist in the entertainment industry, although he has reached the age of retirement, Huang Xishan is not the kind of person who lives a hermit life.
After retiring for half a year, Huang Xishan has not stopped enjoying life and living happily. However, Huang Xishan has a bad habit that is known to the entire industry - he has a strong gambling habit.
When you are young, you spend too much time playing and it overdraws your body. When you get old and you are unable to do what you want, where can you find excitement? Gambling is the natural choice.
But Huang Xishan is the kind of person who loses nine out of ten bets. In just over half a year, he lost seven figures.
Huang Xishan can't sit still now. What should he do if he has no money to play? Let's make money.
But when I signed off, I had a special ceremony and held a media conference, which became a hot spot. Now less than half a year later, I'm knocking on the door of the entertainment company bosses and asking if you want a song. I can come back and write it for you.
, that’s too low a price.
Just when Huang Xishan was worried, he did not expect Yinghong Entertainment to come to the door. Huang Xishan pretended to be pretentious and then agreed happily.
Write a song for a new artist and ask him to sign it in what original song competition so that he can win first place?
Although Huang Xishan was a little contemptuous in his heart, he was not surprised by this kind of thing.
The original song competition that a young man participated in was not easy to come by. Huang Xishan confidently handed over the song to Yinghong Entertainment in just one day.
There is no airtight wall in the industry, especially the paparazzi in Xiangjiang. As long as you put pen to paper, the news will spread quickly. When business comes, the financial problem will naturally be solved.
At this time, the cell phone rang.
Huang Xishan frowned slightly, and reluctantly looked away from the horse racing news under the lens. When he saw the name of the caller clearly, a smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After answering the phone, Huang Xishan was in a good mood and said: "Boss Li, you are fine."
"Uncle Huang, the recording of the program is over." Li Dapeng's deep voice came over the phone.
Huang Xishan has been in the music scene for more than 20 years and has a very high status. People in the industry generally call him "Uncle Huang".
"Oh?" Huang Xishan raised his eyebrows and said with a slightly raised tone: "Congratulations to Boss Li. Just transfer 300,000 to the old account. Haha, happy cooperation."
Huang Xishan joked: "Boss Li might as well do more of this kind of easy work in the future."
Li Dapeng on the other side of the phone was silent for a moment before the voice came.
"Lost."
"Huh?" Huang Xishan was stunned, his smile froze on his face, and he said in disbelief: "What did you say?"
Li Dapeng in the Yinghong Entertainment Building in Huahai City took a deep breath and said: "The results of the competition, Wang Nanchen was second, and that kid was first."
"Impossible!" Huang Xishan blurted out, "How is this program rated? Boss Li, have you offended the program team? How could my song be lost to a young boy?"
"That's not the case, I can guarantee that." Li Dapeng said with a hint of complaint: "Uncle Huang, you are careless. I told you, that boy is very strong and cannot be treated as a newcomer."
"The title song of the only diamond record in the music industry recently was written by him. The show aired three times and he sang three songs, each of which was on the new song list."
In the courtyard of the mansion, Huang Xishan sneered and said: "Diamond records? It was amazing twenty years ago. How much gold does it hold now?"
Huang Xishan is really qualified to say this. There are many older generation musicians who look down on or do not recognize the sales of digital records.
Li Dapeng sighed and said: "No matter what, the result has been decided."
"I'm sorry, Uncle Huang. According to the signed gambling agreement, I can only pay you half of the money."
"I'll let the finance department transfer the money to your card..."
Li Dapeng is also a treacherous old fox. When buying songs from Huang Xishan, he deliberately added a "gambling agreement."
The terms of the agreement are very simple. Wang Nanchen sings the song provided by Huang Xishan. If he wins, Ye Zhiqiu will pay the full price. If he loses, he will only pay half of the contract price.
Huang Xishan, who was eager to get the job at the time, learned that his opponent was still a college student who had not graduated, so he agreed without even thinking about it, without taking this clause to heart.
In Huang Xishan's view, 20% of his own strength is enough.
"Wait!" Huang Xishan's urgent voice came.
Li Dapeng stopped, and a look of certainty flashed in his eyes.
"What program is that? What's the theme of the next issue?" Huang Xishan's face was gloomy, with anger hidden in his tone.
"Fireworks." Li Dapeng glanced at the prompt from his assistant and said.
"Take 300,000 yuan." Huang Xishan said coldly, "I will write another song for you and let your people sing it."
"This time the result is guaranteed to satisfy you."
The goal has been achieved! There was a proud smile on Li Dapeng's lips, but he pretended to hesitate in his tone before saying: "Okay! It's a deal. Since Uncle Huang is serious about it, I naturally believe you."
"Wait for my news."
Huang Xishan hung up the phone after saying these words.
In the mansion, Huang Xishan's face turned pale and he slammed the table.
The teapot and teacups on the table were shaken loudly. Huang Xishan was startled, and quickly restrained his movements and carefully stabilized it, with a distressed look on his face.
This is an antique. If it breaks into pieces, it will be gone.
Wang Nanchen actually lost. Huang Xishan really didn't expect this result.
Huang Xishan is willing to write another song for Yinghong Entertainment for free. Of course, the reason is the 300,000 yuan, but the most important thing is that he cannot afford to lose face.
If word spreads that he loses to a young boy, will he still be able to survive?
For this reason, Huang Xishan also wanted to help Wang Nanchen defeat Ye Zhiqiu.
In the Yinghong Entertainment Building, Li Dapeng hung up the phone and said to his subordinates with a proud tone: "You heard it, you have to use the method of a cultured person to deal with it."
"Huang Xishan is a proud and arrogant person. How can he be willing to lose to others? Let's let him and that kid fight each other."
Many of his subordinates cheered and flattered him.
Wang Nanchen in the corner said "The boss is mighty", but his heart was filled with tears.
Can Huang Xishan really win?
To be honest, Wang Nanchen already has a psychological shadow on Ye Zhiqiu.
At this time, Ye Zhiqiu, who had no idea that he was unknowingly meeting a talented lyricist in the music industry, was happily reading the comments from his book friends.
"Zhu Xian" has been updated to the later stage of the plot, where Gui Li and Lu Xueqi fight against the beast god together.
The beast god in the book asked: If you die here, will you still have unfulfilled wishes?
"I have no greater wish," was Lu Xueqi's answer.
