    The house record company located in Kowloon, Hong Kong can only be regarded as a mid-range record company in Hong Kong. However, this record company has a foreign investment background and is an international record company. Although it is not strong in Hong Kong, it is quite famous in Japan.  Su Ruifen is a signed singer under House Records. Although she has been signed with the record company for more than a year, she is not taken seriously within the company. She does not even have a dedicated manager and does not have her own songs. She usually just helps the company cover songs.  An English song.  Today, Su Ruifen was as usual. After recording a song at the house record company, she was about to leave for the Hong Kong Hilton Hotel. The signing bonus Su Ruifen got from the house record company was only enough to cover her daily life. In order to make money and have more opportunities to become famous.  , while working in a record company, she was also a resident singer at the Hong Kong Hilton Hotel.  ¡®Hello, are you Miss Su Ruifen¡¯ ¡®Yes, I am, who are you?  ?  Su Ruifen looked at the foreigner in front of her with puzzled eyes. She noticed him as soon as he came out of the company door. The house record company is not located in a commercial street in Hong Kong. There are not many people coming and going. A foreigner  Standing there was still very eye-catching. Su Ruifen did not expect that this foreigner was standing there waiting for her.  'Hello Miss Su, this is my business card. My name is John Briscoe. You can call me John. I am the deputy general manager of Rolling Stone Records.' Taking the business card handed over by John, Su Ruifen looked at it doubtfully.  A series of titles on the business card, General Manager of Great World Cinema.  Executive Vice President of S.D.W, Deputy General Manager of Rolling Stone Records.  Except for Su Ruifen's impression of the Great World Cinema, she had never heard of the other two companies. If she hadn't seen that the other party was a foreigner, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and looking like a person, she would have thought she had met a liar.  ¡°Mr. John, I don¡¯t know what you want from me.¡± ¡°Ms. Su, it¡¯s a bit inconvenient to find this place. I don¡¯t know if you have time.¡±  Let¡¯s find a place to sit down and talk.¡¯ ¡®I have to go to the Hilton Hotel later to perform, so I only have a little time.¡¯ ¡®It¡¯s okay, Miss Su, I won¡¯t talk for too long. How about you think this is okay, we will go to the Hilton.  Talk to the hotel, so you don't have to worry about being late and let's go.  I'll take you there,' John said as he asked Su Ruifen to get in the car.  Although she had never heard of Rolling Stone Records, the other party was still a record company. Su Ruifen didn't want to reject the other party rashly, but also wanted to hear what the foreigner had to say. In fact, she felt a little bit when she heard John, the foreigner, say that he was the vice president of the record company.  I was looking forward to it a little, thinking that maybe something good was going to happen.  Su Ruifen's current development in the record company was not going very smoothly. She didn't want to miss any opportunity, so after a little hesitation she agreed to talk to the other party.  Su Ruifen is Su Rui, Su Rui was her later stage name. Su Ruifen grew up in an ordinary working-class family in Taipei, Taiwan.  There are four brothers and two sisters in the family. She is the youngest child in the family.  In 1968, Su Ruifen skipped school to participate in a singing competition and was selected. She joined the Zero Chorus to sing Western songs and started her singing career.  Later, he joined the Action Chorus, took the English name Julie, and began touring and singing throughout Taiwan, including the famous 77 and Hong Kong Western restaurants and other high-end places.  In 1971, after graduating from high school, Su Ruifen and Huang Yingying went to Taichung to sing at the Qingquan Gang American Club (CCK) and became friends.  By 1973, she became the first female resident singer at the Taipei Hilton.  In 1975, he was recommended to perform at the Hong Kong Hilton Hotel.  He has been singing in Hong Kong for more than a year.  Participated in Hong Kong TVB competition and won the Best Performance Award.  In 1976, he signed a contract with Hong Kong House Records.  Although Su Ruifen is only 25 years old, she already has rich social experience. In fact, her current singing ability is still very good. However, no one has discovered this gem of hers. This is also because of the lack of opportunities.  Su Ruifen's singing career has been in a tepid state. It was not until 1983 that she became familiar to the majority of fans with her song Wrong Ride. It can be said that Su Ruifen is a late-blooming singer.  John is Chen Yihua's subordinate. Of course he came to Su Ruifen because of the instruction of the boss Chen Yihua. Rolling Stone Records currently only has one band, Wenner. Chen Yihua wants to build Rolling Stone into the world's largest record company. Of course he came  It was impossible to let this situation continue like this. Su Rui was one of Chen Yihua's targets.  As the most famous and accomplished singer representative in the 1980s, Su Rui still had many masterpieces handed down from the 1990s until Chen Yihua's time travel. She directly influenced generations of singers and music fans on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Her music  The charm lasts forever.  It is no exaggeration to say that wherever there are Chinese people in the world, there will be Su Rui's voice.  No one can match the quality and strength of Su Rui's voice.  She greatly enhanced the status of female singers.  Pass??, female singers can only sing some soft, nonsensical, feminine tunes, but Su Rui can sing more masculine songs than men.  Su Rui can be said to be a musician and artist who has established a clear music style in the entire Chinese music world. If the standard of Mandarin singing is established, Teresa Teng is one and Su Rui is the other.  Her songs are sonorous, powerful and soul-stirring. They are an explosion of emotion, art and skills.  As the "diva in black" and the goddess of rock and roll in the Chinese music scene in later generations, how could Chen Yihua be unfamiliar with her? It is impossible for Chen Yihua to let his Rolling Stone record let go of such a person.  "Mr. John, I don't know what you want from me." Su Ruifen went straight to the topic as soon as she got there.  'Hey, Miss Su is really impatient. Since Miss Su is so impatient, I will tell the truth. We, Rolling Stone Records, want to cooperate with Miss Su.' 'Mr. John, don't blame me for speaking outright. You should know that I am now  A signed singer of house record company, house is also well-known in Hong Kong, but I have never heard of your Rolling Stone record company, why do you think I will cooperate with you? This is Su Ruifen's character.  She can say whatever she likes. She has been very generous since she was a child.  Perhaps because she has been singing in hotel bars for a long time, her character has a boldness that many men don't have.  Hearing what Su Ruifen said, John smiled casually. He had already investigated Su Ruifen's background and personality before coming to see her, so he was not surprised at all by the directness of the woman opposite him.  ¡°Ms. Su, you are right. Our Rolling Stones record company is a record company that has just been established. It is normal that you have not heard of it.  Although we, the Rolling Stones, are not famous yet, we already have the Wenner band joining our company, and we, the Rolling Stones, are well-funded and own the latest and most luxurious recording studio in Hong Kong. We also have a vinyl record production factory under the Rolling Stones.  Radio stations, I believe that house record companies cannot compare with our Rolling Stones in terms of strength.' 'Mr. John, it seems that your record company has certain strength in being able to sign a band like Wenner.  But even if the Rolling Stones are as strong as you said, why should I cooperate with you? My life in house is pretty good.' 'Ms. Su, the focus of house records is on the Japanese market, and on Hong Kong  You don¡¯t get a lot of attention. As far as we know, there are several singers like you in the house.  You can only cover some English songs in the house now, right? The Rolling Stones have just been established, and we only have one band, Wenner, but if you think about it differently, there are fewer singers in our company.  Then you won¡¯t have to face so many competitors, and our company¡¯s resources will naturally be focused on you.  You will definitely be valued more when you come to our place than you are in the house.' After John finished speaking, he paused. He wanted to give Su Ruifen some space to think. After taking a sip of coffee, he saw that the other party seemed to be about to say something, but John did not give her a chance to continue.  He said, "Ms. Su can only cover some English songs now, but if you come to Rolling Stone, we will tailor songs for you. We don't have many singers under Rolling Stone, but we have many music producers. I don't know if Miss Su has heard it."  "Chen Yihua, Mr. John, are you talking about the Chen Yihua who wrote the songs "Half a Category" and "Holding Hands"? You don't want to tell me that Chen Yihua is also the music producer of your Rolling Stones?" Su Ruifen used  Looking at John, a foreigner, with expectant eyes, if an outsider saw this scene, he would think that Su Ruifen was in love with him. In fact, it is no wonder that Su Ruifen was so excited. She really liked the four songs written by Chen Yihua, especially the  The first hand in hand is especially for her appetite.  "Hey, Miss Su can say that. Chen is not only the music producer of Rolling Stone Records but also the big boss of our company." Ignoring Su Ruifen's surprise, John continued, "It was Chen who asked me to come to you. He heard  I have learned about your singing and have taken a fancy to your talent in music. If you can come to our record company, Chen said, he can guarantee to write you a song that will not fall behind, and he will also guarantee to push you to the top.  Singer's Throne' Seeing the other party's hesitation, John decided to keep up his efforts. He wanted to capture the fortress of Su Ruifen in one fell swoop, "Miss Su, our Rolling Stone Records company has strong funds. You can rest assured in terms of treatment. House Records will give it to you."  How much, we at Rolling Stone can give you five times more than their price. If the sales of the record are good, we will also give you some share." "Mr. John, but my contract with house will not expire in two years." Su Ruifen still hesitated.  Yu Yu said that Su Ruifen's heart had actually been touched by what John said. The reason why she was so hesitant now was just because the incident happened so suddenly that she was not prepared at all.  ¡®Ms. Su, you can rest assured that we willSince I have decided to sign a contract with you, I will help you handle these things. We will help you solve the liquidated damages of you and the house record company." "Mr. John, can you let me think about it?" "Of course, Miss Su doesn't have to  You are so anxious to reply to me so quickly. You can think about it for a few days. After all, words are unfounded. If Ms. Su is free these days, I would also like to take you to visit our Rolling Stone Records. I want you to see us with your own eyes.  The strength of the company, then you will know if I am lying." "Mr. John, then I thank you first. I will go to your Rolling Stone Records to have a look. If I really want to join your company, Mr. John  , I will ask you to take good care of me when the time comes.¡¯ ¡®Hehe, definitely, I¡¯m very happy to meet friends like you in Hong Kong. If Su, you can join our record company, I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant.  ,,,,
