After the incident with Yang Kun just now, Zhang Xiaohua was longer in the mood to write songs for him.Temporarily putting aside his work, Zhang Xiaohua began to habitually browse the web, trying to find some potential artists online.
After browsing the Internet for a long time, as usual, Zhang Xiaohua still found nothing worthwhile.
Gradually being filled with boredom, Zhang Xiaohua opened up movie site casually. After a short while of browsing, he randomly selected a movie to kill time.
The film"s name was "The Waves Of Fire" it was a domestic film, but many of the actor were unknown to Zhang Xiaohua what drew him to the film was the epic name.
Sliding the mouse, he skipped the t.i.tle sequence and went straight into the film.
After an hour and a half, Zhang Xiaohua stared at the computer screen with a look of disdain.
He had never felt so cheated, the movie t.i.tle and thumbnail made the movie look so good. But the film was so trash filled with terrible plot holes and cliches. You could literally guess what would happen in every scene before it happened.
The main plot of the movie was about a male and female protagonists who were surfers. In the early stage, they suffered a lot of setbacks. Then conquered them after working hard and won the champions.h.i.+p from the World Surfing Champions.h.i.+p.
As the credits of the song played in the background Zhang Xiaohua moved the mouse towards closing the tab when suddenly a song attracted his attention.
Although Zhang Xiaohua couldn"t see the singer, he was deeply attracted by the voice of the singer.
The voice of this singer was as hoa.r.s.e as Yang Kun, but it wasn"t as deep, it had a softer undertone. The lyrics of the song themselves weren"t very good but the singers voice gave it a different charm.
Zhang Xiaohua stared at the computer screen with enthusiasm and seriously searched through the credits of the film.
As the ending song was approaching the end, Zhang Xiaohua saw the name of the singer in the last row of subt.i.tles...
Ending song: "Give me love"
Singer: Du Chengyi (Singapore singer)
"Du Chengyi...?" Zhang Xiaohua repeatedly recited the name in his mouth.
Picking up the phone, Zhang Xiaohua immediately called Yuan Datong and Emma and played then them the song.
"He sounds so similar to Yang Kun" said Emma
Yuan Datong shook his head said: "No, this person"s voice is softer than Yang Kun"s voice like an affectionate whisper. If you listen carefully, you hear the difference between the two. Yang Kun"s voice is hoa.r.s.e and deep, this voice is hoa.r.s.e and soft."
"Do you know any information about this Du Chengyi? Where is he from? Is he signed to a
company?" said Zhang Xiaohua asking a bunch of questions in a row. Yuan Datong and Emma were professional musicians, they knew more about singers than him.
He wanted to sign this Du Chengyi if possible.
However, it was a pity that neither of the two had ever heard about Du Chengyi, so the two collectively shook their heads.
Zhang Xiaohua checked for information on Du Chengyi online but in the end, he couldn"t find any information on Du Chengyi.
"How can there nothing on him?" said Zhang Xiaohua anxiously.
Zhang Xiaohua immediately replayed "The Waves Of Fire". This time he didn"t fast forward, but specifically searched for the production company who made the movie among the t.i.tle sequence if they could contact them they could use them to find this Du Chengyi.
Soon, in the prelude to the beginning of the movie, there was a row of golden letters, but seeing the name of the production company Zhang Xiaohua immediately gnashed his teeth.
The name read "New Century Entertainment Co.Ltd."
"f.u.c.k, this movie actually belongs to New Century Entertainment?" said Zhang Xiaohua frustrated. Since this movie was from New Century, then needless to say Du Chengyi was likely to be a singer from New Century.
Despite this, Zhang Xiaohua still wanted to get this Du Chengyi, so he called in Xu Fengnian.
Xu Fengnian was a veteran from New Century. He should know a lot about the artists from New Century Entertainment. Therefore, the best choice was to ask him.
"Uncle Xu, do you know if there is a singer called Du Chengyi at New Century? He is the singer of "The Waves Of Fire" ending song." said Zhang Xiaohua.
Xu Fengnian thought for a moment and replied: "If I remember correctly, this Du Chengyi should be a Singaporean. He was a porter at a construction site, and this site happened to be a New Century Entertainment project. At that time, your father went to the construction site to inspect and heard him singing. He felt that his voice was very distinctive, so he signed him. I remember him due the distinctiveness of his voice, normally contracts for singers at New Century last for a period of five years and are renewed after depending on the success of the artist"s success."
Xu Fengnian sighed and continued to say: "Unfortunately, this Du Chengyi signed just as New Century had begun to decline. At that the time, your father transferred all the company"s focus onto real estate in order to save the company. Almost giving up on the entertainment circle. Therefore, it was difficult for the artist to get opportunities to develop. Many artists were left idle, including Du Chengyi. It"s hard to become a real star, many artist get signed but never actual blow up. Those who don"t blow up are put to the side and left to their own devices.
After hearing this information, Zhang Xiaohua felt a faint glimmer of hope and said: "I want to sign him can you track him down and contact him?"
"It shouldn"t be a problem." replied Xu Fengnian. In his heart, a person targeted by Zhang Xiaohua definitely wasn"t bad. What"s more, this Du Chengyi was admired by Zhang Xiaohua"s father. Since both father and son appreciated the same person, this shows that Du Chengyi was profitable.
Since Zhang Xiaohua had spoken, Xu Fengnian did not delay, and immediately launched an investigation.
"Boss, Du Chengyi and Yang Kun sound pretty alike. The average person can"t hear the difference between the two voices. We already have Yang Kun why do you want another one?" Emma asked curiously.
What she said wasn"t unreasonable. In terms of voice, Yang Kun and Du Chengyi weren"t too different.
Yuan Datong also agreed and nodded and said: "If we really signed Du Chengyi, it will probably make Yang Kun"s feel dissatisfied and threatened. After all one mountain can"t have two tigers."
The way Zhang Xiaohua saw it was about time Yang Kun was brought down a peg or two.
If it came to it he was ready to let Du Chengyi completely replace Yang Kun. In Zhang Xiaohua"s heart, this Du Chengyi had more development potential than Yang Kun.
He wanted Du Chengyi as singer for HuaXiang Entertainment, as for Yang Kun well it would depend on his performance thereafter.
Since he could raise him up he could also knock him down.
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "That"s exactly why we need to sign this Du Chengyi. Some people have to be thought that they aren"t irreplaceable."
Yuan Datong and Emma looked at each other and their faces showed a worried expressions. The last thing they wanted was another w.a.n.g Jingwen incident in their view though Yang Kun did have an arrogant att.i.tude it was still bearable.
"For the time being, as well let"ss put aside Yang Kun"s songs. I have my own arrangements." Orderd Zhang Xiaohua.
"Why?" Yuan Datong couldn"t help but ask. Yang Kun"s concert was fast approaching, but currently he had only five songs.
"Don"t worry about it just do what I asked. Sometimes there"s no need to ask so many questions. I"m the boss aren"t I?". In fact you can both leave, I"ve finished discussing what I wanted."
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was in a bad mood, Yuan Datong and Emma did not dare to say anything, they both turned left while pa.s.sing on looks between themselves.
