Chapter 265: The Godfather Enters My Urn
Yi Qing wants to develop the music market in the mainland, obviously only one Liu Huan is not enough, he came here this time, not only to meet the idol, but more importantly, to recruit Cui Jian.
Although rock is still in its infancy in China, with Cui Jian's roar in Gongti, rock will soon take root and flourish in China, although it is only a flash in the pan, but the influence is extremely far-reaching.
Yi Qing never thought that through his own efforts, rock and roll in China to develop and grow, and really enter the public eye, after all, rock and roll is a foreign thing, and it is not easy for any kind of thing to integrate into the culture of a certain country, especially in China, after all, the cultural ideas that have been nurtured for 5,000 years, it is really difficult for a foreign thing to easily blend in.
Just like when the Korean Wave struck later, the long legs and small fresh meat of the bangbangs all made the domestic brainless fans crazy, and the domestic musicians saw this, and they also learned to play girl groups, boy groups or something, but can any of them survive?
At the end of the day, the cultural basis is different!
What Yi Qing wants to do is to cultivate, even if it is a small niche, and this leader is obviously none other than Cui Jian.
By drinking, Yi Qing said the matter: "Brother Cui, this is not my whim, in the south, I am already looking for an office, and I am planning to go to Xiangjiang recently to buy a set of recording equipment, what I lack now is people, people who really understand music and are willing to do a good job in music!"
Yi Qing said a lot of things at length, Cui Jian and the others were directly stunned, they were all twenty years old, and they didn't restart their lives once like Yi Qing, what kind of company, commercial packaging, rock star or something, they never thought about it.
To put it bluntly, the reason why the plywood band can get together is actually very simple, no one thinks how far they can go on the road of music, everyone has their own job, like Cui Jian, who is still a trumpeter in a certain orchestra in Beijing, and Liu Yuan also has a stable job in a state-run pharmacy.
They got together because they liked music, they liked rock, they had similar interests, and they had been together for so long, and no one had ever said how they would be in the future, how the band would develop, or anything.
It's the cassette tape that came out last year, and they also pooled their own money to get it, and the seven of them wiped out their family funds with a smile, and then lost a mess.
Just now, Cui Jian sent an invitation to Yi Qing and wanted him to come and join the band, mainly because the band rehearsals are often not available.
Now Yi Qing suddenly proposed that he wanted to start a music production company, and invited them to join, for a while, no one's brain could be turned.
How can this be played and played, and it will be absorbed by the regular army?
"That ~~~~~~~ Xiaoyi, what you said, our brothers don't understand, according to what you said, let's go to your company, and then you are responsible for making tapes for us, and then there are ~~~~~~~~"
Liu Yuan answered: "Commercial performance!"
"By the way, commercial performance, what the hell is going on with this commercial performance?"
Yi Qing explained: "Actually, it's the same as your current performance, going to the acupoint, but it's a little more formal than going to the acupoint, you are going to the acupoint to perform now, you are all contacting yourself, or waiting for others to come to find you, but if you go to my company, all your performance plans are responsible for the company, you just need to create and rehearse with peace of mind." ”
A few people still don't understand too much, after all, there is no precedent for brokerage cooperation in China.
"I sound a bit like the tooth line of the past, just to help introduce work. ”
"I think it's pretty much the same!"
A few people muttered for a while, and they didn't seem to be very interested in looking at their expressions.
Yi Qing knew at a glance that these brothers still wanted to be crooked: "Hurry up, I'm not in the tooth business, the tooth shop in the past was to introduce people to work, and the company is responsible for your packaging, in short, it is to make a comprehensive plan for the development of your music career, and the performance contacted by the company is not the kind of hole you are running now, if you have the opportunity, you can even be on the stage of some well-known rock music festivals under the operation of the company in the future!"
Swish!
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Cui Jian and the others immediately lit up.
Don't look at any of them who have never really come into contact with those large-scale rock music festivals abroad, but they have all heard of it, all open-air, empty venues have built several stages, the world's most famous rock bands have performed on stage, and the audience is crazy rock music fans, both on and off the stage are wantonly swaying their youth.
Cool!
"Really?"
Cui Jian couldn't wait to ask, among the seven people, he is the only one who is seriously considering whether to go down the road of music, although he also has a stable job, and he is quite decent, mixed with ten or twenty years, maybe he can become a performer, but every time he thinks that he will have to repeat the same life every day in the future, he feels his scalp tingle.
I hadn't thought about how to go on the road of music before, but I heard what Yi Qing said just now, it seems that as long as he signs a contract with Yi Qing's company, then he doesn't have to care about anything in the future, as long as he makes music with peace of mind.
In fact, when Yi Qing mentioned this time, he was already moved, but it was not easy to say, after all, there were seven people in their band, and he had to consider other people's ideas.
But when Yi Qing mentioned a large-scale rock music festival abroad, Cui Jian's heart couldn't stop beating wildly, in the description of his friend, the foreigner who gave him a guitar, the rock music festival is simply a holy place for all rock musicians in the world.
"Anything is possible!"
Cui Jianqu in his previous life had never been to a foreign rock festival to perform, Yi Qing didn't know, but if he was a cheater and added fuel to the fire, it shouldn't be difficult to think about it.
"Okay! I promised!"
"Da Cui!"
"Cui Jian!"
The others were shocked when they heard this, and they all looked at Cui Jian, obviously the rest of the band didn't have this idea, after all, how good it is to be free now, why should they find a place to manage themselves.
Moreover, now there are occasional performances, and the income is good after a month, and there are formal jobs, and the income in this area is extra, and everyone is very satisfied.
Cui Jian took a deep breath and said, "Brothers, I don't know what you think, anyway, I'm planning to go dark on the road of music, if you really want me to do something else, it's better to kill me." If you don't want to, we'll ~~~~~~~."
Seeing that Cui Jian was about to say what he was going to say, Yi Qing hurriedly stopped: "Wait!Brother Cui, you still have to be cautious about this matter, so let's think about it, besides, the company can't get up for a while, there is time!"
Cui Jian was stopped by Yi Qing at first, and he was still a little puzzled, but after listening to Yi Qing's words, he also understood, there are a lot of rock and roll players in the capital now, but there are few real good musicians, and it is rare for the seven of them to get together, and it is a pity to separate now!
"Come on, let's all think about it, come on, drink!"
A meal of wine was drunk until dark, Yi Qing and Liu Zheng said goodbye and left, and not far from the door, they heard a roar of guitars in the courtyard behind them.
It seems that Cui Jian and a few of them have to spend the night in the artillery bureau today.
In this big night, all of a sudden, the enthusiastic crowd can't bear it!
Both of them drank a lot of wine, and the bicycle was unstable, so they simply pushed away, Yi Qing went back to the courtyard, and Liu Zheng went back to the sauce meat restaurant.
Before breaking up, Liu Zheng still couldn't hold back, and asked the words that had been held in his heart for a long time: "Xiao Yi, is what you said with Cui Jian just now true?"
Compared with Cui Jian, Liu Zheng is a few years older and entered the society early, although he didn't understand most of what Yi Qing said, what brokerage contracts, commercial packaging or something, he didn't know what it was at all.
But Yi Qing wants to open a company and make tapes for Cui Jian, he understands, now there are many singers in China, of course, people call singers to release tapes, which can often be seen on the market, but there are not many sales, and the really popular ones are still from Xiangjiang, or directly from abroad.
Yi Qing wants to make tapes for Cui Jian, can this be done?
He had mixed with Cui Jian and others before, and he didn't think that Cui Jian's song was so good, why did he let Yi Qing take a fancy to it?
Yi Qing smiled when he heard this: "Of course it's true, this can still be fake, how about it, Brother Liu, are you interested, if you are interested, how about coming to my company?"
What Yi Qing said is not a joke, Liu Zheng's image is good, a bit Tengger, plus the voice condition is good, if you package it, maybe you will become popular.
For a moment, Liu Zheng was really a little moved, but after thinking about it again, he felt that he was going crazy.
People are like this, if they are displaced all their lives, they can do anything, but once they settle down, they want to let them go out and explore, this determination is not so easy to make.
"I'd better forget it, it's a good day now, I guard the ancestral sauce and meat restaurant every day, eat with my skills, and when I'm happy, I sing two songs, which is not better than anything. ”
Liu Zheng didn't dare to hesitate, and said hurriedly, as if he was afraid that he would regret it if he answered slowly.
Yi Qing naturally didn't force it, the two chatted for a few words, went home separately, met in Pingshui, and said goodbye.
When he got home, thinking that this was given by Cui Jian, Yi Qing still felt a little unreal.
I actually gave the godfather of mainland rock 'n' roll!
