I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard
Chapter 75 Negotiation for Album Release
Jingyi came out of the station space and looked at her pager that was connected to the outside world. There were more than a dozen unprocessed messages on it, and most of the messages were phone numbers of the music association.
Only then did she remember that after her last solo concert, President Liang asked her to go to the Music Association in the next few days, but she had forgotten about it.
Jingyi drove a Porsche 911 to the Music Association. The current Xiangjiang Music Association is a semi-official organization with a certain degree of authority.
She went straight to President Liang's office. The Music Association was so anxious to find her, there must be something they wanted to do.
When Jingyi saw President Liang, she immediately went up to greet him. "Uncle, I'm sorry! I've been sorting out the sheet music these days and forgot about the appointment with you."
"Jingyi, you were called here because the Music Association is about to set up a piano association, and the government intends to let you be the president."
President Liang knew that her time was precious so he didn't say much. He just explained the situation to her and asked for her opinion.
"I can't do that! How can I have the time to manage this? Besides, I'm too young and inexperienced, you should find someone else!" Jingyi refused outright. She didn't want to sit in the office every day!
"We have also taken this situation into consideration, so we have appointed an executive vice president to take full responsibility for the management of the piano association."
Their music association had anticipated this a long time ago and invited Jingyi to be the president of the piano association simply to take advantage of her fame in the piano world.
"Is that so? I'm just holding a title? Fine! I'll agree to this."
Since they were only using her name, why would Jingyi refuse? With this semi-official title, she would also gain more weight in the Hong Kong music scene.
"Tell me what you've been busy with these days? Are you going to release another piano album?"
After the business was settled, President Liang couldn't wait to ask, "If Jingyi could release another classic piano album like she did five years ago, it would be another great event for the Hong Kong music scene."
"I do have this plan! I have sorted out the piano scores, which are also eleven piano pieces. I just haven't decided which record company to record and release them on."
That bearded Bill is so cunning! He actually exploited the fruits of her labor. If his album share is not suppressed, Jingyi doesn't mind talking to Times Records.
"Aren't you working well with Bill from Warner? He has been looking for you too. He just called me yesterday." President Liang asked in confusion.
"He is so cruel! Last time I released my song album with him, he lowered my share of the album to 20 percent." Jingyi got angry when she said this, and she complained to President Liang.
"I heard that he will be transferred back to the North American headquarters soon, and he urgently needs to make some achievements. I will help you talk to him, I don't think it will be a big problem."
"Thank you, President Liang!"
When I returned to the Repulse Bay Villa from the Music Association, I didn't expect that Lou Xiao'e and the pair of maids named Zhang had already returned from the old city.
"Mom, did you receive the letter I asked them to bring to you? Did you go to No. 95 Siheyuan?" Jingyi asked Lou Xiao'e as soon as she saw her. Lou Xiao'e was a sentimental person. How could she not go to see Sha Zhu after finally arriving in Sijiu City?
"Why can't I go? You are such a heartless person! I have suffered so much for you! I have become a kidnapper that everyone wants to beat! I don't care, you must clarify this for me when you go back."
Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at Jingyi. This daughter actually meddled in her mother's private affairs!
"Why should I go back? You know what kind of life I lived before. I'm glad I could leave that home, otherwise I don't know how tall the grass on my grave would be now." Jingyi said with a pout.
"It's not as serious as you say! Parents always favor their sons more. It's human nature. They missed you very much when I went back this time."
Seeing that her daughter's words were somewhat heartless, Lou Xiao'e quickly stepped forward and took her arm to persuade her.
"Have you told them everything about my situation here?" Jingyi asked her mother with a frown.
"Of course I told them! They are all your blood relatives, how could I hide it from them? I also left them the address and phone number here. I guess they will contact you soon."
Lou Xiao'e wanted to say something else, but her daughter Jingyi looked unhappy. She sighed secretly, thinking that the shadow of her childhood had a big impact on her daughter.
It doesn't matter if they know the address and phone number here! They can't come here until after 1997. As for calling? Just say you're not here.
Jingyi immediately instructed the maid at home that if anyone with a Beijing accent called her, she should say that she was abroad.
The next day, she received a call from Liang, the president of the Music Association, asking her to go to Warner Records to discuss with Director Bill. As long as the quality of this piano album was the same as the previous one, they would release it to all parts of the world at the same time as before.
She drove to the Gateway Building in Tsim Sha Tsui with a stack of sheet music. She also had to talk to Bill about releasing her English song album to the world.
Bearded Bill flipped through her piano music and couldn't help but praise her, "Another eleven classic masterpieces! Miss Jingyi, you have entered the ranks of world-famous composers."
"I can give this piano album to Warner to distribute, but I have a request. I am also planning to record an album of English songs, and I hope to promote and sell it around the world together with the piano album."
Jingyi started bargaining with him! She wanted to release her own piano album and also release the English song album.
"English song album? I can't make the decision on that. The singers who release and promote albums to the world are all world-class superstars. What if a large number of song albums are produced but they can't sell? I don't think the headquarters will agree!" Bill shrugged, intending to reject Jingyi's additional request.
"How about this! Once the master tape of the song is ready, send it to the headquarters together with the piano album master tape. If they think the album quality doesn't meet superstar standards, then we can only release it in North America!"
Jingyi gave him an idea! She was very confident in these songs that were the essence of decades of music! If they didn't pass at the Warner Records headquarters, it was because they were jealous of his talent.
Bearded Bill looked through her English song sheet music again, and the more he looked, the brighter his eyes became. No wonder Miss Jingyi was so confident! Each of these twelve English songs was a world-class classic.
Any one of these songs could make a little-known singer famous. Putting them all in the same album is a complete waste of talent.
It is difficult to distinguish which song is the main hit in this album. It can be said that every song is equally good and can all be regarded as the main hit.
"Ms. Jingyi, these classic songs, combined with some other songs, can be made into three or four albums. Are you sure you want to put them together and release only one album?" Bill couldn't help but advise her.
"I focus on the quality of the albums I release and want to be worthy of the fans who buy my albums. So I don't want to fool around! I will create more songs of the same quality like these in the future." Jingyi shook her head and politely declined his kindness.
The two sides signed the cooperation documents, and Jingyi went to the recording studio of Warner Records to start recording her piano album. With her current piano level, it took her three days to complete the album.
When it came time to record English songs, the speed obviously slowed down. Jingyi would scrap the song and re-record it whenever she felt that her singing was slightly flawed. She strived for perfection! The accompaniment tapes of these songs were all purchased from shopping platforms, which saved her a lot of time.
This made Bearded Bill, who supervised the production of her two albums, simply astonished. Vibrato, tremolo, whistle, dolphin sound are easy for her. C6, A7, G4 are easy for her.
He now firmly believes that the Warner Records headquarters will adopt Miss Jingyi's advice and release and sell this legendary album all over the world.
Half a month later, the two albums were recorded one after another. Jingyi also took photos of the album covers and promotional posters. Bearded Bill personally sent the master tapes of the two albums to Warner headquarters.
He would personally lobby the company executives to let them hear what the sound of nature was like.
