At the end of the award ceremony, Ye Fan took Jay Chou to thank the organizers and judges of the [Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs] Awards.

Xiao Zhou doesn't understand much about this, but Ye Fan still needs to teach him little by little. Winning prizes is not about fighting and killing, but about being human and worldly.

If Jay Chou had understood this, his relationship with the Wanwan Golden Melody Awards would not have been so bad for several years in the future.

And tonight the organizer awarded so many awards to Ye Fan. Although Ye Fan used some tricks, they must be under some pressure.

Apart from anything else, some people in Hong Kong's music scene and record companies will definitely have objections to tonight's awards tomorrow, or even protest.

Therefore, Ye Fan would like to thank them for their fairness and recognition of "The Wind Rises". He still has to put on a show and give face in advance.

As for settling things that others have criticized, it is Warner China's turn to take action. We can't rely on him to make so much money in vain, right?

Due to the large number of people at the scene, it was difficult to say much between the judges and the winners. After Ye Fan gave Xiao Zhou a courtesy thank you, they went to attend the celebration party held by Warner in a hotel on Hong Kong Island.

Some of Ye Fan's friends in Hong Kong, singers from Warner China, Warner UFO, Warner Jingwen, and other singers who wanted to establish a relationship with Ye Fan and Warner all came to participate.

The female companion accompanying Ye Fan to the banquet tonight is Zhang Yushan. XST Company still has 49% of his shares. This occasion is the time for him to take Zhang Yushan to expand his contacts and the company's business.

During the feasting and feasting, Ye Fan always held a glass of juice, but no one dared to have any objections, because Ye Fan and the bosses of the three Warner companies all had a good conversation.

Of course, Ye Fan also did not forget to introduce Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan to Xu Zhiwei. In the future, they want to return to Hong Kong and Taiwan to develop, and it will be beneficial to become familiar with Warner's top leaders.

"Xiao Zhou has done well this time. You have great potential. If you are from Hong Kong, the best newcomer gold award will definitely be yours!"

"Yes, the album "You Are Faster Than Before" has sold more than 800,000 copies nationwide, and it has also appeared on the Dragon and Tiger Charts. You are already well-known in the Bay Area."

Hearing the praise from Xu Zhiwei and Zhou Jianhui, Jay Chou responded excitedly and humbly. The two elders' recognition of him was a great encouragement to him.

They also knew Jay Chou's character and were not impressed by his reaction, and started chatting with Ye Fan instead.

Xu Zhiwei smiled and said: "Mr. Ye, when are you going to let Xiao Zhou go back to Wanwan? I think he can have greater development when he returns to Wanwan. After all, he is from there."

"Yes, yes, he has many fans in Wanwan now."

Ye Fan glanced at Zhou Jianhui who was echoing at the side. He still didn't understand what these two people were thinking, but now was not the time to let Jay Chou go back.

Jay Chou has not experienced the hardships of his previous life. Now he is realizing his musical talent in an orderly manner. Who knows if he will lose himself in the fame and fortune fair of the entertainment industry.

"He is still too young. It's not the right time yet. Let's wait until he releases a few albums. Don't worry, I won't stop him when he wants to return to Wanwan."

Zhou Jianhui felt relieved when he heard Ye Fan's words. He was afraid that Ye Fan would not be willing to let him go when he saw the increasingly popular Jay Chou. Then where would he go to find the successor appointed by Ye Fan himself?

Zhou Jianhui smiled and said: "In that case, I will also go to the Bay Area Golden Melody Awards at the end of May to communicate and try to get Xiao Zhou to win the best new artist. It will be a good story like you!"

Jay Chou stood aside without saying a word, watching the elders talking about him in person, while Fang Wenshan looked envious.

Although Zhou Jianhui said he was going to communicate, there is a high probability that he can help Jay Chou win the best newcomer. This is the benefit of having a backer.

Seeing that Zhang Yushan had almost made some connections, Ye Fan chatted with Xu Zhiwei and Xu Zhongmin about the new album and left with them.

If it weren't for Zhang Yushan, a banquet like this for celebrities to make connections, Ye Fan never caught a cold. He would stay for a while and then leave, and no one could say anything.

I don't know if he has read too many TV series or novels, but he always felt that this place was unlucky, and he had an inexplicable illusion that something was going on.

In contrast, he prefers to invite a few friends with whom he can chat to find a private place to eat, drink and chat casually.

Zhang Yushan brought everyone to a relatively private restaurant, which was opened by her friend. He was a private chef. He only entertained important people and opened a few tables a day.

While eating, several people started chatting. Zhang Yushan asked: "Ah Fan, why don't you buy a house on Hong Kong Island? Housing prices have dropped so much now that many celebrities have gone bankrupt and sold their properties."

"I will definitely buy it, but now is not the time. My money is still useful."

Are you kidding me? Housing prices in Hong Kong are still artificially high. The predators will come again in August, and housing prices will fall even faster by then.

Moreover, the lowest housing prices in Hong Kong were after the incident at the end of 2002. Why buy now when you can buy at the bottom?

After Ye Fan and Zhang Yushan chatted about the company, he asked Jay Chou: "How are you preparing for your next album?"

"I'm too busy at the front, with a lot of commercial performances and promotions to run, and I don't have time to calm down and write songs. I'm not satisfied with the few songs I've written."

"Brother Fan, if you want to release a song, I won't do it for the time being. I plan to cancel some commercial performances later and then calm down and write songs."

Jay Chou is now afraid of Ye Fan, even though the song "You Are Faster Than Before" he released last Christmas was released nearly two months ahead of Ye Fan's new album.

But after Ye Fan's new album came out, video stores and media resources across the country gave priority to "Love is Just One Word", and the on-demand rate of radio and television was also completely suppressed.

Now that I think about it, Jay Chou still has some ambitions. Thanks to his new album being released early, otherwise he wouldn't have sold more than 800,000 copies.

The album "You Are Happier Than Before" has been well received. With this album, Jay Chou was able to compete with Andy Lau and others in Taiwan.

But as soon as Ye Fan's album came out, many singers' albums couldn't be sold, including him!

Moreover, Jay Chou is not satisfied with the several new songs he has written one after another. Based on the quality of these songs, if he rushes to release the album and coincides with Ye Fan's schedule, he will die.

Ye Fan thought for a while and said: "Okay, I'll ask the company to make less announcements for you, so you can just write songs with peace of mind. In addition, I will write 2 songs for you to give you some inspiration."

Jay Chou was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Thank you, Brother Fan. I, I, cannot thank you enough for your kindness. When my contract expires, I will sign with the company for a few more years!"

"That's not necessary. I hope you will return to Wanwan to develop, and Wenshan will follow you there."

Both Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan looked at Ye Fan in surprise, wondering why he made this decision.

Don’t most record company bosses hold singers tightly in their hands and use them as cash cows? How come they let people go so easily?

Ye Fan will definitely not help him in vain. He wants Jay Chou to enter the creative state of 2000 in advance and then return to Wanwan to facilitate him to implement the Wanwan strategy.

Jay Chou asked doubtfully: "Brother Fan, are you going to let me go to Warner UFO?"

"Why do you have this idea? You have been with me for so long, haven't you learned how I work with record companies?"

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Fang Wenshan looked stunned, while Jay Chou fell into deep thought. Yes, why do you have to join a record company?

After a long time, Jay Chou struggled and said, "Brother Fan, I understand what you mean, but I don't seem to have as much fame or outstanding works as you do."

"And I see that Mr. Zhou really wants to sign me. If I go it alone, I'm afraid the record company won't cooperate with me."

Ye Fan patiently explained: "I didn't tell you to go it alone. You can set up a company by yourself. Wouldn't it be nice for Warner and I to become shareholders together?"

"Not only do you have the resources, but you also have a lot of freedom. If you don't want to go, you won't go. If you want to write songs with peace of mind, no one can force you!"

Jay Chou suddenly realized: "Yes, this method is good, why didn't I think of it? Let Wenshan also become a shareholder when the time comes, so that we can create with peace of mind!"

Fang Wenshan nodded excitedly on the sidelines. Working for others is not as comfortable as being your own boss!

Jay Chou also discussed on the spot how many shares to give to Ye Fan, but Ye Fan stopped him.

It is obviously not appropriate to discuss the issue of shares now. There is still more than a year before his contract expires. Zhou Jianhui may not agree to this plan. Once he is settled by then, it will be more appropriate to discuss shares.

Ye Fan has many reasons for doing this. Playing music is what Jay Chou is good at. Letting him have more freedom is also because he wants him to create more good works.

In order to avoid putting off the album later, even if the new album is released, half of it will be old songs, and the quality of the new songs will be mediocre, which is disappointing!

This will also continue to bind Jay Chou to his interests, which will be of great help to him in developing the Bay Area market. As for Warner UFO being dissatisfied? That is none of his business, as long as his interests are maximized.

In this way, Ye Fan has both favors and interests, and the Wanwan market is open to him. Maybe he can do more things through Jay Chou's company, such as the chip foundry!

Before leaving, Ye Fan sang "Lovely Woman" and "Tornado" in front of the two of them, and asked them to go back and compose the lyrics and music themselves, so that they could get inspiration from them.

The lyrics of these two songs were written by Vivian Hsu, and Ye Fan was afraid that Jay Chou wouldn't be able to write them at this time. Anyway, these two songs have a strong Zhou style, so it would be okay to give them to him.

On the contrary, Jay Chou who grew up in advance is more valuable. After all, he still has so many good songs...

Ho... bah!

Ye Fan didn't have time to write songs specifically for Xiao Zhou, so he had to sing them live.

Not to mention that he still has to write his own songs when he goes back. He doesn’t have that much time. Now that Ye Fan is pregnant with his beauty, if he doesn’t go back and do some sports together, is he going to fight with two big men?

How could these two singles experience Ye Fan's happiness?

But even so, Jay Chou was very grateful to Ye Fan, and he used 2 million as money to buy songs.

Ye Fan originally didn't want it. Although Jay Chou has made a lot of money from album sharing and commercial performances in the past two years, the company also wants a commission. 2 million can be said to be most of his savings!

But at Jay Chou's insistence, Ye Fan only took half of the 1 million, which was regarded as a friendly price.

Previously, Ye Fan composed theme songs for film and television dramas. With so much respect from the boss, Ye Fan even received 1 million for one song.

Not to mention the help of those theme songs for film and television dramas after they became popular, as well as the extremely influential "Meet at 98". Now the price for Ye Fan's songwriting is even higher.

Someone outside offered Ye Fan 2 million for a song, but he ignored it.

The investors of "Sassy Girlfriend" asked Ye Fan to write the theme song. There were so many big bosses, and Ye Fan even demanded 1.5 million for a song.

Now Ye Fan only received 1 million from Jay Chou for two songs, which is extremely low. If other singers knew about it, they would all want to replace him with Jay Chou!

So now in the music world, money can't measure Ye Fan's songs. The key is whether Ye Fan is willing to give them, and how many people ask for them but they don't get them.

After saying goodbye to the grateful Jay Chou, Ye Fan went home with Zhang Yushan.

Ye Fan, who won 8 grand prizes tonight, was very high-spirited, and Zhang Yushan also felt his happiness tonight...
Chapter completed!
