Chapter 18 Caiyun Plan
At nine o'clock on Sunday, Xia Haoyang came to the studio on time. There was still one day of interviews today, but as soon as he entered the company, he was stopped by Xiao Liu at the front desk.
"Mr. Xia, look at this."
"What?" Xia Haoyang walked to the front desk and saw a video playing on the computer.
After reading it, there was silence for a while, then Fatty Xia asked: "Who sent it to you? Do you have a contact number?"
"Yes, Ms. Zhang Ping sent an email to our company email and attached this video."
"You should contact Ms. Zhang Ping and tell her to bring this girl to our company. We will chat and meet in person, and we will bear the air tickets and accommodation expenses."
"OK, all right."
"Also, send me this video." After Xia Haoyang finished speaking, he walked to the interview practice room.
Yesterday, a total of four members were selected. Today, only two members were selected. Moreover, both of them were very hesitant after hearing that they were going to debut as a group and that they might not be able to sing Chinese-style songs. They both said they wanted to go home and think about it. This is understandable. In this world, national style is the mainstream, and hip-hop and electronic music are even more niche than the world before Xia Haoyang.
After interviewing the last person, the little fat man spoke. "Everyone, wait a minute, I have something to say."
"I just came to the company this morning, and Xiao Liu at the front desk showed me a video." The little fat man was thinking about his words.
Everyone said nothing, knowing that there must be more to the story.
"A dance teacher from Yancheng, named Zhang Ping. Maybe it was by chance. She saw many backward rural areas in southern Yunnan, where young girls had difficulty getting education opportunities, so she and her husband went to those backward rural areas. Teach the girls there to dance. In a few years, I spent more than 200 million of my savings to help 62 girls from ethnic minorities go out of the mountains and get into major colleges and universities through the opportunity of learning dance."
"What she said really touched me. I hope these children can support themselves and live with more dignity by learning art." Fatty said slowly.
"The video I watched this morning was what she sent me. It was a dance video of a 16-year-old student of hers. She said that this girl is very spiritual. If she stays in the rural areas of Yunnan, her talent will be wasted. See our company We are recruiting singers and dancers, so we sent the video to us. How about you all take a look?"
Everyone has seen the dancing video of a girl from southern Yunnan on Xia Haoyang's cell phone. It's very green, but it can be seen that it has great potential.
"Everyone, watch the video. I asked Xiao Liu to contact Ms. Zhang Ping and ask her to bring this girl to our company and let's meet." Fatty continued.
"I mean, even if this girl is not suitable for my girl group, I still want to do something. What do you think?" Fatty Xia rarely spoke seriously.
"Hey, what did I think, that's all? Of course. Fatty, you can make the decision." Han Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, whether it's financial support, using our studio to promote them, or accepting some outstanding talents, we can try to make a debut with them, or any other idea, it's all up to you, Fatty," Zhao Yishen said. .
"Agree, I agree with what Shenzi said." Everyone expressed their support.
"Okay, let's meet Ms. Zhang Ping first."
On Tuesday afternoon, Zhao Yishen picked up Ms. Zhang Ping and her -year-old student at the airport. Because Ms. Zhang Ping had a house in Yancheng, she declined the hotel arranged for her and promised to meet at the company early the next morning.
At nine o'clock on Wednesday, the 6boss of Fat Cat Studio neatly appeared in the company, waiting for the arrival of Ms. Zhang Ping. Within a few minutes, Ms. Zhang Ping and her students walked into the studio.
"Hello, Teacher Zhang, I'm Xia Haoyang." Xia Haoyang took the initiative to shake hands.
"Hello, Teacher Xia, hello. I like the songs you wrote very much." Zhang Ping smiled with a slightly weathered face.
"We were all touched when we heard about your deeds. We also want to try to see how we can help you. Come, let's go to the conference room to talk." Xia Haoyang truly admires this kind of selfless dedication, although he himself Can't do it.
"Is there some misunderstanding? I'm not here to get any help from you. Yes, I mainly live in Naduo Village and Pisha Village in southern Yunnan, where I teach some little girls to dance. No. I know what others think of me, but I feel in my heart that my life now is very fulfilling and happy. Those little girls actually have the talent of singing and dancing, but they lack the training of teachers, so I have been there with my husband in the past few years. Life."
"In the past few years, we have also sent some little girls out of the mountains to receive education in better cities. In fact, the local government has launched a "Caiyun Project", with capital investment from some enterprises, individuals and the government, which can help me Better to help those little girls in the village continue to pursue the art path. So I am here today not because I need your donations or anything, but for her." Ms. Zhang Ping touched her face tenderly. The head of the little girl next to her.
Ms. Zhang Ping continued: "I really think she is a very good talent. She learns dance quickly and has her own charm. How about you guys watch her dance and do a live dance."
"That would be great." Everyone agreed.
Then Zhang Ping smiled at the little girl and said, "Come on, give a performance to these big brothers in front of you, don't be afraid."
After a dance ended, a burst of warm applause broke out in the training room.
Xia Haoyang asked: "Kid, what's your name?"
"My name is Jiang Mengyan. I am 16 years old and no longer a child." The little girl said slowly one word at a time.
"Haha, okay, you're not a kid anymore, can you sing a song?" Xia Haoyang also said with a smile.
"it is good."
After a song, there was another round of warm applause.
"I can understand why Teacher Zhang said that if she continues to stay in the countryside in southern Yunnan, she is wasting a good seedling. She is really spiritual." Xie Shujie said.
Everyone else shouted in agreement.
"Although she is a bit young and has not received much professional training in vocal music, her tone and sense of music are really outstanding, and her dance form is also very graceful. It is very suitable for our group." Xia Haoyang said.
"Teacher Zhang, I hope to sign her and then debut with my group." Xia Haoyang gave a positive answer.
"Actually, I sent her here because I knew that she already had the ability to be a singer or dancer, but after all, she was still young and was actually still in junior high school in the countryside. I thought that even if she debuted as a singer or dancer, it would be best if she could complete it. Her studies." Zhang Ping looked at Jiang Mengyan lovingly.
"Understood, I will send her to continue her studies in Yancheng, from high school to university. This is our promise to you!" Xia Haoyang said seriously.
"Don't worry, Teacher Zhang, we will also find an assistant to take care of her daily life and take care of her to better adapt to life in Yancheng. We will also hire music teachers and dance teachers to give them more professional training. And we The studio is here, you can come over at any time to learn about the situation." Zhao Yishen also looked serious.
"We will sign a contract. Because Jiang Mengyan is still underage, I would like you to sign the contract on her behalf as a guardian. You will read the contract carefully later. If you are not satisfied with anything, we can discuss it again." Xie Shujie said.
"Okay, thank you very much. It made her dream come true and made me feel relieved." Ms. Zhang Ping said happily.
"We thank you for bringing us such a good seedling, and thank you for what you have done for those children over the years." Zhao Yishen was the one who felt the deepest feelings among the 6boss.
