Chapter 423 423 EMI Records
From Washington Square Park in the south to Fifth Avenue on 138th Street in the north, Manhattan is clearly divided into east and west. This is not only the center of Manhattan, but also the most famous commercial street in the world. The dazzling array of tall buildings along the street, men in suits and ties, ladies in decent dresses and official leather bags present an elegant and fashionable picture of modern American life.
Few streets can take in so many stores with complete goods and popular goods like Fifth Avenue. Many of these stores have multiple branches and are world-renowned. Almost all famous stores can be found on this street, and almost all the products you can imagine can be found here. Rich products, complete brands, high-end and high-quality have become the characteristics of Fifth Avenue, and the operation of the brand has become the signboard of Fifth Avenue, where every inch of land is valuable. During the discount season, even the Queen of the UK will take a special plane to shop on Fifth Avenue. To be precise, it should be said that it is a bloody battle!
When you come to New York, whether you like shopping or not, Fifth Avenue is worth visiting. Even if it is not for shopping, it has a unique flavor just standing on the street. You can clearly see the condensed view of this international metropolis in New York, as if you can see the prosperity, tightness, speed and complexity of the entire city from this street.
But today, the members of the Glory-Diet Band came to Fifth Avenue, not for sightseeing or shopping, but followed Henry's footsteps and came to the place at the junction of Fifth Avenue and Twenty Street. Just turn to the west side of Fifth Avenue. Just less than twenty yards away, you can see the tall building with a glass exterior wall in front of you. There is a huge brand logo hanging at the door. The red rectangle is written with a white formal body and it is "e-fan". This is the location of EDA Records' New York Branch.
The architecture is Victorian architectural style, with dark red exterior walls embedded with narrow rectangular windows, but the eight-story building gives people the illusion of towering heights.
Standing at the entrance of the building, there was no obvious sign or hall, it was like a very ordinary comprehensive office building. Alfonso grabbed Pedro, who was curious, and Neil, who was standing next to Fujin, said, "Henry, are you sure? Let's go in and find someone directly?"
"It's not anyone, it's Roger Faxon, the deputy manager of the recording department. I've mentioned your band to them before, so today's meeting is not abrupt." Henry was very calm, looking at a happy and contented look. Today he sorted out his hair, cleaned his beard, and changed a clean and tidy shirt. His whole body was completely refreshed. Obviously, he looked like a successful person, but his expression was still lazy.
Although Hugo has confirmed with them that Henry is indeed an excellent music agent, and he has brought it up by Mariah Carey, and they are now standing at the door of EDA Records, everything is so real; but seeing Henry's lazy appearance still makes it difficult to feel trust.
"Henry, you know I'm not referring to this." Neil looked at Hugo standing beside him and found that Hugo was looking at the surrounding buildings, looking very comfortable, which made Neil feel a little relieved.
Henry looked at Neil for a while, as if he had thought for a while before he realized, "Oh, you mean our cooperative relationship, no hurry, really no hurry, we can talk slowly after meeting Roger, you can see my abilities, and I will also see your potential." If Honor until the death of the meeting with Roger Fasong, abandoned him, an agent who had not yet signed, chose other agents or signed a broker directly with Baida, then Henry would not care. He had already seen the ungrateful wolf and didn't care about one more.
Yesterday, Honor took the initiative to contact Henry until his death. They were convinced by Henry and felt that the agent contract could be negotiated, but they still had doubts about Henry's conditions. Whether it was signing for ten years or termination, this did not comply with industry rules. The band still hoped to meet and have a detailed discussion.
Unexpectedly, after the band raised his ideas, Henry thought for a moment, but changed the topic and said that their previous contracts and cooperation could be temporarily played. He could take the band to see the senior executives of Edai Records first to see if Edai is willing to make records for Glory to death, and let Edai measure the development prospects of Glory to death, and then discuss them in detail after the meeting.
Henry's unexpected behavior caught him off guard by killing Rong Yao until death, but meeting directly with the senior executives of Edai Records was not harmful to Honor until death. Instead, it could make Honor take the initiative until death. So, after thinking about it, the band agreed to the request. So they and their group appeared in front of the New York branch of Edai Records.
"It is best to have a relationship with you and my own will. A forced thing will never have a good result. It's like hooking up with a girl, but she is unwilling to cooperate, so the bed and love affairs are not so harmonious. I never like the 'use of strong'." Henry stood there and said slowly, but his expression was still the lazy and joking look. It didn't look like a business conversation, which made the team members who were glorious until death smile.
Henry raised his eyebrows, looked around, and then said with regret, "There are so many pedestrians around, but no one recognizes Hugo. It's so disappointing. I originally wanted Roger to see you with great popularity. However, now that things have come to this, we still have to move forward." After Henry said that, he did not go to see Hugo's expression, and took his lazy steps and stepped onto the steps.
Hugo stood beside him with an innocent look on his face. He was definitely inexplicably caught in the gun. However, by Henry's teasing, the band's tense atmosphere eased a lot. Seeing Hugo couldn't help but burst into laughter. Alfonso even patted Hugo on the shoulder, as if comforting him, "Don't be discouraged if no one recognizes you", which surprised Hugo very much. With the first one, Pedro followed suit, then Neil, and finally even Fujin came to join in the fun.
After four teammates patted Hugo's shoulders to express their condolences, they left Hugo standing alone on the street with black lines. Isn't this situation a bit exaggerated to describe it as "flying disaster", but Hugo always felt that a bunch of arrows was shot on his knee.
Hugo laughed, then quickly followed up and walked into the building at hand. There was no special place on the first floor, just like a staff passage, and even the lights were not too bright. Hugo quickly walked into the elevator, and the elevator stopped on the second floor. After walking out, this was another world.
Since the first floor is the store on Fifth Avenue, there are shops in front of it. The space on the first floor looks as inconspicuous as a warehouse or storage room. However, after entering the second floor, the entire space extends infinitely towards the west side of 20th Street. The huge office building is spread out in the soft fluorescent lights. There is a special consultation desk at only five yards when you walk out of the elevator. There is a huge "Eida Records" sign hanging behind the counter.
Henry's footwork was still slow, so he fell behind several young people. The receptionist at the counter stood up and asked, "Good afternoon, can I ask if I can help you?" The heavy English voice came to his face, and the full pronunciation method made people come from New York to London in a daze.
Neil, Hugo and others did not rush to speak, but waited for Henry to walk forward. Henry smiled and nodded, "Good afternoon, the weather in New York has finally seen some suns today, right?"
"I heard it was raining in London." The weather was lightly picked up by the receptionist, and the professional smile on his face also became more sincere.
"Thank God, traveling with an umbrella is not the worst. The strong wind makes people helpless, that's too scary." Henry still has his usual style. He speaks slowly, is lazy and casual, and it is difficult to find the key points in his words. Then he can see the sharpness inadvertently. Looking at the receptionist's expression of approval, Henry seemed to realize that there were five other people standing beside him, "Oh, by the way, I am Henry Bloom, and I made an appointment for Roger Fasson to meet."
The receptionist did not bow his head to inquire at all, and immediately showed a surprise expression, "Mr. Bloom, Mr. Fasson has been waiting for you for a while." The receptionist's words made the members of Honor die and the dark lines on their foreheads. If the receptionist's words were not polite but true, it would be too funny. The person who came to the interview was still late, and Henry still looked as if he was not nervous at all. This is really...
"You can never predict what will happen in the next second in traffic in New York." Henry was not nervous at all, and said helplessly. This sentence immediately made the receptionist agree with him, and now he bought into Henry's excuse.
The members of Glory to Death were too lazy to roll their eyes. They came by the subway, and there was no rush or delay along the way. Henry was just talking nonsense.
"Mr. Fasong is waiting for you in the office on the fifth floor. You can find his secretary after taking the elevator here." The receptionist smiled and could see that he could see along the direction of his right hand that there was another elevator inside, which was the shortcut to the upper floor.
