Huaxing Records Company.
Wei Qishan stood aside nervously, lowering her head and not daring to speak.
There are other people in the office. The music producer who is usually irritable and often scolds Wei Qishan. Now he is facing Fang Yihua with a cold face and dare not say a word.
As the champion of the first Chinese Rookie Singing Competition, Wei Qishan is undoubtedly a lucky person. Not only did she successfully sign a contract with Huaxing Company, but she also quickly released her first record.
Although this record has only 6 songs, and 4 of them are old cover songs, Wei Qishan herself is already very satisfied.
The record has been on the market for more than a week and its sales have reached more than 8,000 copies, which is very rare for a new singer.
Today, the Hong Kong singer's single-record sales record holder is Xu Guanjie's "Half-Take" five years ago, which sold more than 400,000 copies in Hong Kong.
No one could break this record until Kang Jianfei traveled through time. Later, Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye" sold more than 400,000, but it still did not exceed "Half a pound".
Xu Guanjie will be counted after Xu Xiaofeng. Xu Xiaofeng's sales in Hong Kong have exceeded 300,000 in three consecutive records in recent years.
In the back row are Alan Tam, Danny Chan and others, with sales of about 50,000 to 300,000.
Platinum records with sales of more than 50,000 yuan are considered as first-line popular singers. If a new singer sells sales of over 10,000 yuan, it is already a hit.
If Anita Mui's "Thousands of Songs" had not appeared, then the first record of Wei Qishan, the champion, would have put a perfect end to the first Chinese Rookie Singing Competition.
But there is no reality. Now Anita Mui’s songs are playing all over the streets.
Especially the song "Thousands of Songs", whether it is a karaoke hall, nightclub, dance hall, cafe, audio-visual store, or department stores, the familiar melody can be heard everywhere.
Although Fengxing Records did not announce the sales of "Thousand Thousand Songs", there is no doubt that the winner of the singing competition was defeated by Anita Mui, the eliminated person.
Fang Yihua's gloomy face was silent for a while, but finally he didn't scold him. He waved his hand and said: Let's go out, Afen and Aquan stayed.
Wei Qishan and her producers were like amnesty, and quickly escaped from the office, leaving only two heads of Huaxing Records. Chen Shufen and Chen Liuquan.
Fang Yihua stared at them and said: Your singing competition was held very well this time, Anita Mui was just an unexpected situation.Now "Thousands of Songs" is very popular, so we don't need to compete with Fengxing Records to make a big splash.The important thing is to discover good singers and write good songs, and to find a young singer with potential but not too popular now to focus on cultivating them.
Chen Shufen continued: There is a signed singer and actor named Leslie Cheung. I think that young man has great potential and looks pretty.
Fang Yihua is now in charge of TVB, and her biggest rival is Li's TV Station. Naturally, she is very familiar with the situation on Lishi. As soon as Chen Shufen mentioned Leslie Cheung, she immediately had an impression.
Fang Yihua pondered: Leslie Cheung is well-known in TV series in Lisboa and is highly valued by the other side, so it should be difficult to dig it up.
Chen Shufen explained: I have a good relationship with Leslie Cheung’s singing teacher Li Xiaotian. He once revealed some time ago that he wanted to take Leslie Cheung away from Lishi.
Fang Yihua heard that he could poach his opponent's popular star, and immediately became shocked and asked: Is this true?
Chen Shufen said in detail: Leslie Cheung was the runner-up in the Lishi singing competition four years ago and was rated as the most promising newcomer by the newspapers at that time.However, after signing the contract with Lissi, Lissi has not had enough packaging and publicity for him, and has not had a correct positioning for Leslie Cheung, which has led to Leslie Cheung's records being difficult to sell well.Li Xiaotian was very dissatisfied with this, and there was a dispute within Lishi recently, so he wanted to take Leslie Cheung to leave Lishi.
Fang Yihua did not agree immediately, but said: Come and listen to Leslie Cheung's record.
Chen Shufen immediately went out and found several records of Leslie Cheung more than ten minutes later. Chen Liuquan moved out of the record player and started singing in the office.
When Fang Yihua was young, she was a beautiful singer who was popular in Southeast Asia. Later, she was taken to Hong Kong by Run Run Shaw. She originally wanted to hide her beautiful girl in the golden house.
However, Fang Yihua quickly showed his management skills, so Run Run Shaw was arranged to join the Shaw Brothers Company and climbed to its current position step by step.
Fang Yihua's music appreciation is even much more wise than Chen Shufen and Chen Liuquan. After listening to several songs by Leslie Cheung, he immediately made a decision: You must sign this singer, and his teacher Li Xiaotian (the songwriter of "The Great Wall will never be able to do so") will dig it up together.
Chen Shufen said: I'm afraid I can't come yet. The contract between Leslie Cheung and Lishi will only expire next year. If you poach people now, you will spend hundreds of thousands more.
Fang Yihua's control over costs was even worse than Run Run Shaw, and he immediately said: Then let's negotiate first and then poach people next year.Apart from Leslie Cheung, are there any other candidates?
Chen Liuquan hesitated for a while and couldn't help but say: Xu Xiaofeng's record contract will be full next year.
Fang Yihua had the urge to roll his eyes and said directly: Xu Xiaofeng, don’t think about it. Huaxing Records Company is just starting now, focusing on discovering new people.
Chen Liuquan coughed awkwardly and said: Yes, I will pay attention to discovering new people.
Why did Fang Yihua refuse to poach Xu Xiaofeng?
Because Xu Xiaofeng is now well-deserved by the Hong Kong music industry, not only has the record sales exceeded 300,000 consecutive copies, but the company signed is a giant record company like Colombia.
Last year, Xu Xiaofeng sang in a nightclub, and the song pay was a sky-high price of 100,000 yuan. I heard that private gatherings even cost 200,000 yuan.
How much does a record cost now?It only rose to more than 20 yuan this summer.
For ordinary singers, they have to sell 100,000 records to get the reward for Xu Xiaofeng singing in a nightclub.
Huaxing Company, which has just transformed into a regular record company, is there any qualified person to sign such a queen-level singer?That's just a self-inflicted thing.
……
St. St. Bian Church Middle School is holding a grand school anniversary event.
The voice of the student host came from the stage: A program over there was a sing of "Thousands of Songs" by Jiang Hongyan from Class 2, Class 2, for everyone...
cut!
Before the host could finish his words, the students in the audience had already responded with a wave of disdainful inverted color.
Zhou Huimin, who was preparing in the background, asked nervously: Awei, why is it another person who sang "Thousand Thousand Que Songs"? Which one is the first one?
Awei said with a funny look: The fifth one, fortunately I chose Sister Amei's "If Heaven Is Love" (Cantonese version of "Dream Chaser").But Amin, you are in trouble. You chose songs and collided with many people.
You can't blame the organizers of the performance, because the students sign up for the performance themselves, and everything they perform is decided by the performers.
As a result, more than 40 people signed up for the performance, and 26 people chose to sing "Thousand Thousand Songs". Except for those who were too talented to go on stage and those who were persuaded to sing other songs, there were still 11 people left, and they were all going to sing "Thousand Thousand Songs" in the end.
This song is so popular that the few students who started singing it won the applause of the audience, no matter how good or bad they sang.
As for now, they are all cheering because everyone is impatient to listen.
The one who just sang "Thousand Thousand Que Songs" ran away in a panic after singing, but the host said again: ...I invited Zhou Huimin from Class 1, Secondary School 2 to sing "Thousand Thousand Que Songs"...
Are you making any mistakes? Come again!
Please, don't ruin this song anymore.
Get out of the stage!
……
Zhou Huimin came on stage with such inverted sounds. She was under a lot of pressure before she started singing, so the lyrics of the first line were out of tune, and the booing in the audience became louder.
It will take more than a month for Joey Wong to turn 14. Although she looks cute, she has few friends at school.
Because her father died before she was born and her family was poor since childhood, her expression was always cold and didn't like to laugh, giving people the feeling of keeping people from thousands of miles away.
Not only that, although Joey Wong's skin is as smooth as milk, she can only be said to be cute.
13-year-old Joey Wong is slightly fat, has a baby fat face and short hair, which is very far from the word "beauty".
As he grew up, Zhou Huimin was just Awei and Yaqin, two good friends who have been together since childhood.
The noise in the audience became louder and louder, and Zhou Huimin's mind was in a mess. She tried to calm down and finished singing, but in the end she didn't even know how to step down.
After stepping down, Zhou Huimin didn't even come back to her senses, and she couldn't even figure out the direction. Her good friend Yaqin came over and hugged her and said: Amin, you sang so well!
Zhou Huimin said in a daze: Is it great?I don't know what I sing myself.
Soon Awei finished the performance and said in surprise: Amin, Yaqin, I just heard from the girl in the next class that Sister Amei will be on TV tomorrow night.
Yaqin couldn't wait to ask: Which station?
Awei smiled and said: Of course it’s Lishi. Sister Amei was also doing a show last time.And Ah, I also heard that as long as the audience who successfully call the TV station within one hour after tomorrow's show is broadcast, they will randomly draw 10 lucky people, and each person can get a signed photo of Sister Amei for free.The one with the best luck can also be a guest at Sister Amei's concert.
Sister Amei is going to hold a concert too?Zhou Huimin asked excitedly, this was completely different from her usual coldness.
Awei explained: It’s not that kind of large-scale concert, it’s a small-scale singer-song party.
Yaqin said: Then what are you waiting for? Go home and call Ah.
Awei said speechlessly: It will only be effective for calling tomorrow. What are you anxious about?
Zhou Huimin asked: How many Ah is Li’s TV station?
Awei said: Sister Amei will tell her phone number tomorrow on the show, and she can call it as soon as the show is broadcast.
