Wang Zupei came back after vomiting first, holding the remaining half bottle of wine and said, "Come on, Zhou Yan, let's divide the last bit of wine."
Before Zhou Yan could say anything, Wang's mother said, "Don't Drink, you’ve already drank so much today, don’t cause problems.”
This is not the first time that Wang’s mother has advised them not to drink, but Wang Zupei and the others did not listen to it before.
But this time when he heard what his mother said, Wang Zupei immediately borrowed the donkey from the slope and said, "Mom is right, Zhou Yan should not drink too much when he comes to the house for the first time."
With that said, he put down the wine glass.
Having just gone to the toilet to vomit for a while, Wang Zupei must have sobered up a lot and knew he couldn't drink like this anymore.
Zhou Yan didn't want to drink anymore, so he followed his words and said, "Thank you for your understanding, brother. I really can't drink anymore. If I drink anymore, I will make a fool of myself."
"That's okay. I can't let you make a fool of yourself." Wang Zupei laughed and said, "It's okay this afternoon. Let's play mahjong for a while. Do you usually play mahjong?"
"It's mainly because you don't have the talent." >"What kind of talent is needed to play cards? The most important thing for this thing is luck. We won't take the elders to play today, just us juniors. When Zu An comes back, we will start."
Wang Zupei said that he would wait for Wang Zuan to come back to play mahjong, but after waiting and waiting for no one to come back, he got up to look for him.
After a while, Wang Zupei came back cursing, "Zu An, this guy has already fallen asleep."
"Second brother's drinking capacity is already a little worse." Wang Zuxian said.
"Okay, let's not take him with us. Let your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law come over and join us at the table."
Then Wang Zupei called his lover and sister-in-law, together with Zhou Yan A table of mahjong was arranged. Wang Zuxian did not participate in the battle, but just watched from the side.
In order to take care of Zhou Yan, they played the simplest kind of mahjong, with winnings, but not big ones.
Zhou Yan can play mahjong. His level is not high, but it is not bad either. At least it is better than Wang Zuxian. After all, he has a good memory and can remember what cards everyone played.
But during today's card game, he didn't remember the cards at all. He didn't even look at the cards played by others. He just stared at the cards in his hand.
Wang Zuxian usually plays cards by himself like a wandering ghost. Now sitting behind Zhou Yan, he became anxious and asked Zhou Yan to touch him. He was so anxious that he asked Zhou Yan to touch him.
The sister-in-law joked with a smile, "Xiao Xian is not married yet, but he is attracted to Zhou Yan. Are you afraid that Zhou Yan will lose all his money and it will be difficult for you to get married later?"
"Xiaoxian himself is not so focused on playing cards." The second sister-in-law said.
Wang Zupei also laughed, "Xiaoxian, give Zhou Yan some advice. He is much better at cards than you."
"Isn't he drunk too much?"
< br>"I think he is much more awake than me."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I usually don't fight much, so I'm a little confused. Brother and sister-in-law, please forgive me."
"We don't care, we will be happy if we can win money."
"Yes, but Zhou Yan, don't lose on purpose."
"I would like to lose on purpose, but I don't have the strength. Ah."
Zhou Yan actually wanted to sleep at this moment. He was like this after drinking too much. He was very tired, but it was the first time he came to Wang Zuxian's house today, so he couldn't go to sleep.
Playing cards with them now allowed him to relax his mind, which was considered a kind of rest.
After playing for about 40 to 50 minutes, Zhou Yan's mind gradually cleared up. Wang Zupei, who was sitting opposite him, was gradually getting tired. He was sitting there swaying and looked like he might collapse at any time. He was probably very sleepy.
Seeing him like this, my sister-in-law helped him and said, "Why don't you go to bed too."
"No, I can still..." Wang Zupei said nothing. After finishing, his head sank down on the table and almost hit the table, which shocked the sister-in-law.
"Go to bed quickly."
Wang Zupei also felt that he could not hold on anymore, and apologized to Zhou Yan, "I'm sorry, Zhou Yan, I'm going to take a nap first."
After Wang Zupei left, Wang's mother came over and asked Zhou Yan to go to the room to rest.
Then Zhou Yan went up to the second floor with Wang Zuxian and rested in the guest room.
The guest rooms were all covered with new bedding. Zhou Yan originally felt that his sleepiness was almost gone, but as soon as his body touched the bed, sleepiness came over him again.
Wang Zuxian poured him a glass of water and put it on the bedside table, then pouted and said, "Didn't I tell you before I came here not to drink too much? I have never seen you drink so much. "
"The eldest brother and the second brother are so enthusiastic," Zhou Yan said while lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
"After drinking this time, I guess they will hold back a little more next time. I originally said I would go out for a walk in the afternoon, but now I'm fine. You should sleep well, and remember to drink water if you are thirsty."
" Hmm..."
Zhou Yan responded vaguely, and then fell asleep.
Wang Zuxian tucked Zhou Yan's quilt beside him, and then did not get up and leave. Instead, he sat beside him and looked at Zhou Yan with his chin in his hand.
Although she complained about Zhou Yan just now, she knew that Zhou Yan behaved like this to leave a good impression in front of his family.
She had never seen Zhou Yan drink so much before. Normally, Zhou Yan would stop drinking when he was tipsy. He would always stay awake and not make any mistakes.
Today she saw Zhou Yan was drunk and fell asleep on the bed. She felt that Zhou Yan was a little cuter than usual.
After sitting there in a daze for a while, Wang Zuxian got up and walked out of the room, then gently closed the door.
When she went down the stairs, Mrs. Wang looked up at her and asked, "Is Zhou Yan asleep?"
"Yes, he is asleep."
"How is his usual drinking capacity?"
"His drinking capacity is okay, but he rarely drinks, and not too much each time."
"Zhou Yan seems to be quite reliable, and his words and deeds after drinking The behavior is also very decent," said the second sister-in-law.
"Well, the wine is pretty good, but I still have a good drinking capacity. Both Tissue Culture and Zu An vomited, but he was the only one who could withstand it."
"That's true."< br>
"Hey, Xiaoxian." The elder sister-in-law looked at Wang Zuxian again, "After you get married, will you live in Yanjing or Jinling?"
Before Wang Zuxian could say anything, the second sister-in-law took over, "Then you should live in Yanjing. Well, Zhou Yan works in Yanjing after all.”
“I heard that the air quality in Yanjing is not very good.”
“It’s actually not bad, but sometimes it’s not good.” Wang Zuxian said.
"Where does Zhou Yan live in Yanjing now?"
“He bought a courtyard house before and usually lives in that courtyard house.”
“Is life in a courtyard house inconvenient?”
“It’s definitely not comparable to newly developed commercial housing, but His courtyard house has been renovated well, and overall there is not much inconvenience."
"So after you get married, will you continue to live in that courtyard house?"
"I still want to live in it? I haven't thought about this." My sister-in-law said sternly, "You can't think about it. Zhou Yan's income is not bad. You two will definitely not have any pressure to buy a house in Yanjing. Buy a good house early to avoid being overwhelmed. "< br>
“His brother built some houses in Jinling, and one of them is for us.”
“Did he build a house in the countryside? Although the environment in the countryside is good, it is inconvenient to live in it. "
"No, his brother is also in the real estate business in the city."
"Oh, that's pretty good..."
Wang Zuxian chatted with his mother and two sisters-in-law all the time. She also talked about the situation of Zhou Yan's family, but she didn't go into too much detail.
Especially the scale of Zhou Yan’s business, she did not disclose.
......
Zhou Yan slept until five o'clock in the evening before waking up.
It was rare to get such a full night's sleep, and the quality of his sleep was surprisingly good.
He has been busy filming during this period, and he has slept very little. He can catch up on some sleep today.
While having dinner, they had a second battle, but after the fierce battle at noon, everyone calmed down a lot in the second battle.
Everyone at the table drank four and a half bottles of white wine at noon, but the amount was greatly reduced in the evening, adding up to just over one bottle.
After dinner, Zhou Yan stayed and chatted for a while, then got up and left.
Wang Zuxian also came out with him, and the two of them stayed in the small house she bought at night.
After returning to his residence, Zhou Yan took a shower first.
As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he received a call from Phantom Xu Xiangjie.
After the call was connected, Xu Xiangjie apologized first, "I'm sorry, Teacher Zhou. I called you so late. Didn't I disturb your rest?"
"Is there something wrong?"< br>
“Teacher Zhou, do you know seed music?”
Zhou Yan frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded, "I've heard of it."
He didn't know much about these music companies in Taiwan, but he had heard of this seed music, because he remembered that Tao Zhe was from this company. singer.
"They have a singer-songwriter who I think is pretty good and want to sign him."
Hearing Xu Xiangjie's words, Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes and flashed in his mind Got a lot of ideas.
He knew very little about Seed Music, except that Tao Zhe was in this company.
Could it be that the person Xu Xiangjie wants to sign is Tao Zhe?
Zhou Yan didn't know exactly when Tao Zhe made his debut, but he seemed to have never heard any news about Tao Zhe. He probably hadn't officially debuted at this time.
“Who is it?” Zhou Yan asked.
“Zhou Chuanxiong.”
Hearing this name, Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows.
Although he is not Tao Zhe, Zhou Chuanxiong is not bad either. Unexpectedly, Xu Xiangjie found this one.
"Is this Zhou Chuanxiong a newcomer?"
"Actually, he is not a newcomer. He was selected as the first candidate member of the Little Tigers in 1988, but he did not join due to personal reasons. Later, he made his solo debut and released a solo album. It has been five or six years since his debut. "
"It has been five or six years since his debut."
This surprised Zhou Yan. .
Zhou Chuanxiong's popularity is still quite high, but he probably became popular after 2000. I didn't expect him to debut so early.
It seems that he has not developed very well in the past few years.
"He has a high output and has released many albums, but the response has been average."
Zhou Yan asked curiously, "In this case, why do you want to sign him? A guy who has been in the industry for five or six years has made a lot of money. What do you like about a singer who has released so many albums but is not yet famous?”
“He has a high output,” Xu Xiangjie’s answer was very concise.
"Is this the only reason?"
"Of course, in addition to high output, some of his works are quite good. I think the reason why he is not famous is because he took the wrong route."
Zhou Yan asked again, "It's just signing a person. You have full autonomy. Why do you ask me specifically?"
Huanyin actually signed a lot of people during this period, except for Wang Lihong and In Mayday, there are several new players, and the signing cost is not high.
Although Zhou Yan doesn't know these newcomers, Zhou Yan has watched their performance videos and their skills are quite good and can be cultivated.
"Of course I can make my own decision if I just sign him, but I hope I can give him more resources. This is something I can't decide."
Xu Xiangjie can sign someone by himself, but after someone signs him, How many resources can be allocated to them is not up to Xu Xiangjie.
“If you can’t give him more resources, then there is no point signing him over. He is different from other newcomers and is not suitable for spending time to cultivate slowly. You need to sign him over and start packaging directly. ."
Zhou Yan didn't talk about the resources, but just asked, "He is now a singer of Seed Music. Can you sign him? Since Seed Music has been willing to release an album for him over the years, then It shows that they are very optimistic about him. Can he sell it so easily?"
"Mr. Zhou, you don't know something." Xu Xiangjie laughed, "Actually, Seed Music already wants to terminate the contract with Zhou Chuanxiong, but I don't know. I won’t mention it now.”
"How do you know?"
"Seed Music is a company under Science and Technology EMI."
Zhou Yan suddenly understood that Xu Xiangjie had worked at Science and Technology EMI for a long time. He must have some connections at Keyi EMI and know some inside information.
“Are you planning to take over immediately when Seed Music terminates the contract with Zhou Chuanxiong?”
“No, I plan to ask for him directly now.”
"Why? Wouldn't it save money to take it over after the contract is terminated?"
"Seed Music plans to terminate the contract with Zhou Chuanxiong after releasing his next album. I want him to come over now. , let us release the next album.”
Zhou Yan couldn’t understand what Seed Music did. You could say they were ungrateful, but they actually wanted to release another album for Zhou Chuanxiong. If you want to call them benevolent, they actually terminated the contract immediately after releasing the new album.
Maybe there are some things in the middle that Xu Xiangjie doesn't know about, but it has no impact on them.
If Zhou Chuanxiong can really be bought at a low cost, it will definitely be a very cost-effective deal.
Xu Xiangjie is right. Zhou Chuanxiong's output is very high. In addition to the songs he sings, he also writes many songs for others.
Although most of the songs written for others do not make any splash, there are often some hits, such as "Notepad" written for Kelly Chen, "Flower Scent" written for Xu Shaoyang and "Betrayal" written to Na Ying.
Many people say that Zhou Chuanxiong's song style is too single, and they are basically all saliva songs, but I have to say that being able to write saliva songs that sound good is also a skill.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan said, "Sign him over. You can arrange the resources as long as it doesn't exceed Mayday and Wang Lihong." (End of Chapter)
