Lao Hou left the recording studio, didn't go anywhere, borrowed a phone from the communication room, and called the radio art troupe next door - it was next door, it was definitely not a courtyard next door, street to street.

That's what it means.

The phone was transferred twice before it was transferred to the person he was looking for, "Lao Hou?"

"That thorn in your dulcimer class, have you been honest lately?" Lao Hou didn't wait for a reply from there, and said first, "If you are not honest, just ask her to come to me after class, I have something to do with her." ”

"You're not going to transfer that teacher, are you?"

Lao Hou's tone was really not a joke, "That's what it means." ”

After work in the afternoon, a hairy head poked out at the door of the office, like a dishonest gopher on the farm, making people want to hammer her with a leather hammer.

When Chinese people say that a person is a "thorn", they mean that this person is tricky and loves to find trouble, and Wang Xiaofang's nickname of thorn head stems from one of her "feats".

This girl's parents both work in the Jincheng Song and Dance Troupe, like most of the children of the troupe in this era, from the primary school door musical instrument as a food craft, when she is older, she entered the Jincheng Song and Dance Troupe to serve iron rice bowls, and later was admitted to the Broadcasting Art Troupe.

In these years, Lao Tzu's heroic children may not be heroes, but Lao Tzu is a regular worker, and the children must have iron jobs.

Rich in material and not worrying about work, and engaged in literary and artistic work, Wang Xiaofang also came into contact with rock music, and began to learn to play drums in her spare time, and the more she learned to rebellious, the more prosperous the little flame became.

Wang Xiaofang's parents said that she didn't look like a girl when she beat the drums, good guy, she turned around and went to cut her long hair, which was shorter than the young men in the group. Now, if you don't learn the drums, you won't look like a girl.

In these years, the rebellious guy has long hair, and the rebellious girl cuts her hair short. All in all, take the head and let out the air first, and then talk about the rest.

Just when the order came, Wang Xiaofang went to the Broadcasting Art Troupe to report with this burr, and by the way, he liked to mention the nickname of "thorn head".

Later, the colleagues of the Broadcasting Art Troupe were shocked to realize that words should not be spoken indiscriminately, nicknames should not be called indiscriminately, and names are the shortest spells. The thorn screamed, Wang Xiaofang not only had a hairstyle thorn, but also stabbed in other things. Flash Dance

Wang Xiaofang finished probing his brain, and knocked on the door three times.

"Please come in!"

Wang Xiaofang pushed the door in, and there was only a man with a beard and big glasses in the office, who was originally reading with his head down, but when he heard her come in, he raised his head and looked at her.

"Hello teacher!" Wang Xiaofang greeted him tentatively.

"Hello. Lao Hou nodded.

After greeting each other, Lao Hou beckoned Wang Xiaofang to sit and started chatting. Wang Xiaofang was still restrained at first, and when she talked about rock music, her momentum came up.

"I've heard of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Paul Simon...... I've also heard Alice of the book. ”

"Have you heard of Alice?" the old man lifted his glasses.

"There's a band called Aris that specializes in covering songs, and I know them well, and I heard them from them. Wang Xiaofang's eyebrows raised slightly, and she unconsciously showed a slightly smug expression.

In these years, the most lacking of bands in Beijing is drummers. Wang Xiaofang can play the drum kit, which makes her have a lot of fun with the group of people who run the band. Several bands were staring at her, trying to pull her into the water, and she was a little excited, but she hadn't decided whose band to go to.

Lao Hou was a little happy when he saw this little expression.

Wang Xiaofang continued, "Not only Alice, but I also know that there is a ...... called Off Urse said that I am so weird, I give the band a name in English. ”

"Alright. Lao Hou hurriedly interrupted her and asked her about business, "A few comrades came here, came over with a letter of introduction, saying that they were holding some music festival in Tokyo, and they came to us to choose a few female comrades who sang rock and roll to sing." ”

The old man asked her, "Do you want to try it?"

Wang Xiaofang was stunned. It's true that she likes rock music, but sing it herself, or do she sing it to herself?

"Okay, try it!" the girl really didn't show any timidity.

......

Although the overall situation of the festival has almost been decided, only in terms of the invited lineup, the local ones are ready, and in the overseas lineup, AE helps communicate with Europe and the United States, but the rabbit country specifically mentioned by Iwahashi Shinichi is completely at a loss. 35xs

So far, the rabbit entertainment market is a desert in the eyes of foreigners. How could Shinichi Iwahashi propose to search for seeds in this desert that have not yet sprouted?

Things are stuck here, either the head iron continues, or directly give up inviting the singers of the rabbit country.

The simple mode is naturally to give up directly, the rock of the rabbit country itself has no influence, and the women's rock is even more unheard of, even if the musicians of the rabbit country are invited to the stage, it will not add any attention to the music festival.

However, it is clearly not Shinichi Iwahashi's style to plan and give up.

If you ignore it directly because the rabbit country doesn't have a good rock now, this approach is inevitably inferior.

In Iwahashi Shinichi's view, the Rabbit Country rockers are born with shackles, and the shackles are born with the birth of the Rabbit Country Rock, and this shackle cannot be removed, it itself is a part of the Rabbit Country Rock.

The shackles restrict many things, but the fact that you have to go rock and roll while wearing shackles is rock and roll in itself. When the rockers of the Rabbit Country dance, the ding-dong sound of the shackles colliding can be turned into accompaniment.

The more you dance under the sword, the better you dance.

Therefore, Iwahashi Shinichi never thinks that the rock of the rabbit country "can't be handled", but thinks that the rock of the rabbit country has their unique charm.

Under his efforts, Watanabe produced two people, one from Warner Pioneer and one from AE, and went to the country of rabbits to choose people.

Watanabe Productions sent the backbone of the club, and Warner Pioneer sent out the staff member Kan Nakajima who followed Chen Meiling to the capital of the Rabbit Country last year to participate in the Soong Ching Ling Foundation's charity performance.

In 1976, Chen Meiling quit the music scene because she wanted to go abroad to study in college, and after graduating from college, Watanabe Productions found her again and re-signed her.

After retiring from the music scene for a few years, the entertainment industry that has been updated so quickly, when she came back, there was no place for her, and from this period, Chen Meiling began to pay attention to international work in addition to singers, especially keen on charity. The more this happened, it made her popularity pick up and become popular again.

helped her develop this route, and her agent Jin Zili contributed a lot. Then, the indispensable agent married his singer home as a wife last year.

Look at the grass gnawing on the edge of this nest.

Agents marrying their own artists is a taboo in the industry and violates professional ethics. From the senses of the outside world, if the agent can have a relationship with the artist beyond work, fans will have a sense of distrust of the artist.

For example, if you go to a restaurant to eat and find that the chef will fry and taste it while cooking, can you still eat it? Even if you can eat it, will you not be able to help but wonder if the chef has ever tasted what you are eating now?

But even so, since the establishment of the system in the entertainment industry, artists who have been treated as grass gnawed on the edge of the nest have grabbed a handful, and it is inevitable that they will fall in love over time, especially female artists, the agent revolves around her every day, putting her first to give advice to her, if the other party happens to have any qualities such as gentleness, it will be even more dangerous.

In addition, another important reason is that there is a high probability that this woman will return to the family after marriage.

If a female artist marries a male star in the same class, or is an outsider in some careers, there is a high probability that she will retire, even if she does not quit completely, she will gradually reduce her exposure, which is obviously inconsistent with her own outlook on life for female artists with strong ambition.

The situation is much better if the agent is a like-minded partner with him, and marrying the agent. Therefore, although I know that it is a big taboo, there are still endless things about gnawing the grass next to the nest.

It is difficult for people who eat at restaurants to get into the back kitchen, so unless it is exposed, almost no customers will know that the chef is stir-frying and tasting at the same time. In the same way, it is the same with an agent who falls in love, unless a weekly magazine takes a decisive photo, no one in the outside world will know, but often, it is difficult for two people who can fall in love nearby to be taken a decisive photo.

So, if you fall in love with an agent, you'll either end it silently before you're discovered, or just when you're unprepared, PIA will throw a marriage statement to let you know that the food you ordered was wiped clean by the cook. By then, it will be too late.

Refund!

That's impossible. Have you ever seen a banana in the hands of a monkey that can come out?

But as a "sacrifice", in this case, often the agent will choose to resign in order to appease the anger of the firm.

Chen Meiling is no exception, with the marriage agreement, the two of them both quit the office and opened a mom-and-pop shop, otherwise, Iwahashi Shinichi might still be able to see her in the office.

However, although she left Watanabe Productions, the record contract is still at Warner Pioneer, so it is so wonderful that her staff in the record company is still working for Watanabe Productions.

The characteristics of the "circle" of the entertainment industry are undoubtedly revealed here.

As for the AE staff, there was nothing to do with them. It was President Misatoyoshi who was also a little interested in the mysterious entertainment market of Rabbit Country, and took the initiative to send a staff member over to help.

Watanabe Productions is happy to communicate with AE in a friendly way, and there is no reason to disagree.

Shinichi Iwahashi proposed to invite singers from the country of rabbits to communicate, but this time, he was not able to send the opportunity to personally select people on a business trip to the country of rabbits, as the backbone of the festival, he is now inseparable from him.

Therefore, he only knew from the staff who had returned from a business trip and reported that after receiving the letter of introduction, they followed the guide around and went in and out of the venue where the band was performing.

During the period, he was also allowed to select people in the art troupe, but the bosses of the art troupe were not only not interested in rock and roll, but also a little taboo, and in the end, with the support of a composer surnamed Hou and the deputy head of the art troupe, Wang Xiaofang, Xiao Nan and other four people were selected.

None of the selected list Iwahashi Shinichi recognized, so he skimmed it at a glance.

Although people are selected, these days, it is not easy to come out of the rabbit country, and it is a performance, which is different from personal behavior such as studying abroad. Several girls all work in the group, and some have to maneuver.

Fortunately, there is plenty of time.
