The office door was pushed open.

"Brother Wen is good!" Huang Qin and Ah Hui shouted and led the two newcomers in the band.

"I heard Lao Chen say, you are on fire now!" Chen Wen stood up and punched each of them.

"Brother Wen, let me introduce to you, this is Lulu, this is Xiao Meng!" Huang Qin introduced.

"Brother Wen is good!" Lulu and Xiao Meng hurriedly greeted Chen Wen.

"Hello!" Chen Wen smiled, "I watched your performance just now, it's good!"

"Thank you, Brother Wen!" Lulu and Xiaomeng responded with smiles.

Huang Qin reported to Chen Wen on the recent new situation of the band.

In addition to telling the story of the two newcomers, he also said an interesting thing.

There have already been three record companies approaching the door and wanting to sign with the Old Boy Band, and one of them is Situ Tsundere's sister.

After discussing with Lao Chen, Huang Qin, Ah Hui politely rejected the three record companies.

There are several reasons for this.

First, the two most popular songs are nominally original by the Old Boys, but they are actually created by Chen Wen. What attracted the record companies were those two songs, and they came to the door to sign the original band, and the Old Boys actually didn't meet the requirements.

So once you really sign a contract, you will definitely be exposed, and when the time comes, you will not be able to play the dance hall freely, and you will lose face within the record company, and the news will inevitably ruin the future development of the old boys.

Second, following the record company, before the fire, and even after the small fire, in fact, the Old Boys band can't make money. Only after the fire will there be a good personal gain.

If the Old Boy Band does not sign a record company and stay in the dance hall to start a business, they can run the dance hall into a big fire, with a total income of hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, and an average of tens of thousands of net income per person.

So after the three backbones discussed, they decided not to sign a record company and focus on doing a good job in their business.

Manager Chen took out forty percent of the shares two months ago and distributed them to Huang Qin and Ah Hui, and now all three of them are the bosses of Fox.

Chen Wen exclaimed: "This result is very good! You can not only realize your ideal of playing music, but also make a lot of money! Congratulations!"

Huang Qin and Ah Hui said: "We can have today, all thanks to Brother Wen's support and Sister Tang's channel help!"

Huang Qin asked, "Just now outside, we greeted Miss Su. Brother Wen, why didn't Sister Tang come over today?"

Chen Wen said: "Sister Tang has resigned from the radio station, and now she has gone to the imperial capital. ”

Huang Qin and Ah Hui felt sorry for each other, complaining that they didn't know at all and didn't see off Sister Tang.

Ah Hui asked, "Sister Tang went to the imperial capital and what is she doing now?"

Chen Wen said with a smile: "I have a few businesses in the imperial capital, and she is helping me take care of them." After a while, there was a TV series to start filming, I was one of the investors, and Sister Tang joined the crew and served as the drama manager. ”

Huang Qin and Ah Hui hurriedly asked what TV series it was.

Chen Wen said: "What a coincidence, the TV series is called "Seahorse Song and Dance Hall", which tells the story that happened in the dance hall. I've watched a few episodes of the script, and it's very similar to a lot of things we have here!"

Huang Qin, Ah Hui and Manager Chen happily said that they must watch the TV series when it is filmed.

Chen Wen said: "It is estimated that it will be broadcast on TV in the first half of next year. ”

Chen Wen asked again: "When I entered the door just now, I heard you cover a song by Li Zongsheng, and it felt good. Suddenly I have a thought, listen to it. ”

Several people, including the two newcomers, immediately listened attentively.

Chen Wen said: "I visited the bars in Houhai in the imperial capital, and the environment there was more peaceful. Our dance hall is in a lively style, and rock music is particularly suitable. The song Li Zongsheng just now, I have an inspiration, you can try to use rock style to cover the old songs of other singers. ”

A few people asked curiously, "Cover in rock style?"

Chen Wen nodded: "Li Zongsheng released a song last year, called "Drifting Across the Sea to See You", will you?" ”

Several people nodded: "We've all heard it, and we can play it." ”

Next, Chen Wen told the four members of the band about the DJ version of the song's rhythm and related music theory details.

Huang Qin and the others are all veterans of playing musical instruments, and they will understand the principle after listening to it once. Several people discussed some cooperation and door-crossing techniques.

Chen Wen smiled: "Then I will sing this song on stage today, and you can accompany me!"

The crowd left the office and took to the stage.

The attendance rate was more than 90 percent, dance music was playing on the speakers, and some audience members were dancing ballroom dances on stage.

The band arrives, and the audience on stage returns to their seats.

After the audition, the 21st Century DJ version of "Across the Sea to See You" was unveiled in advance.

Seeing Chen Wen on stage in person, Su Qianqian and Ou Kelan shouted excitedly, and Chen Wen waved at them from afar.

There is a saying: If you are not afraid that the new song is well written, you are afraid that the old song will change to DJ.

As soon as Chen Wen finished singing, the howls and cheers in the entire Fox Cabaret Hall were chaotic.

Chen Wen turned around and shouted to the four members of the band: "I sang this song with a male voice just now, you can try it when you go back, let Lulu sing a female voice once, I have a hunch that the effect will be very good." ”

Lulu immediately nodded violently: "Thank you, Brother Wen, for your support!"

Huang Qin smiled: "There are too many lyrical songs that can be adapted like this, it's so fun to play!"

Chen Wen was very happy, he knew that he had opened a new door for the Old Boys Band, and in the future, they would make the Fox Cabaret even louder in Shanghai!

Chen Wen taught them this kind of music play today, which is not a spoiler for the future, because the method of changing slow songs to DJs has been very slippery in Europe and the United States in the 80s, and it has only become popular in China relatively late.

Huang Qin and they still had the task of performing performances, Chen Wen did not delay their time any longer, and returned to the office with Manager Chen.

The two chatted for a while.

Manager Chen said: "This year, Fox's profit is very considerable, and I am considering investing in another dance hall to expand its business. Chen Wen, what do you think?"

In his previous life, Chen Wen has worked in dance halls, bars, discotheques, and KTV for nearly 20 years since 1993, and is very familiar with the development of these industries.

Around the year 2000, the way to play the dance hall gradually became obsolete and disappeared into the first-tier cities. The last exit of song and dance halls in second- and third-tier cities in mainland China was around 2005.

Shanghai is second only to the imperial capital in the first-tier cities, so the song and dance hall still has 7 or 8 years to survive, and the popularity time is about 5 or 6 years.

Chen Wen said: "The market of the song and dance hall, I feel that it can still be popular for 5 or 6 years. Lao Chen: If you think it's worth making money for the past few years, then you do it. But you have to pay attention to the direction of the market, don't spread too big, there may be new ways to play in the future that people like. ”

Manager Chen said: "If you invest in a dance hall, if the business is good, you can pay back in less than two years." According to what you said, if there is a market for 5 or 6 years, then you can earn back two dance halls!"

Chen Wen smiled: "Okay, then you can do it!"

Manager Chen said: "I'll give you 20% of the dry shares." ”

Chen Wen waved his hand: "I don't want it." ”

Manager Chen was about to continue to persuade, Chen Wen smiled and said: "My girlfriends, Miss Su, Miss Xu and Sister Tang, they come to your dance hall to play, you just take good care of them!"

Manager Chen laughed: "People are not romantic, young men! Brother envy you, girlfriends are all so beautiful! Is that Miss Ou your new girlfriend today?"

Chen Wen shook his head: "She is Miss Su's classmate, and she will play with us today." She and another friend of mine may be able to get together in the future. ”

Manager Chen said one more thing: "Miss Xu hasn't been here for a long time, but her sister has been here three times in the past two months, and she brought a few classmates over to play, and I gave her a free order." ”

Chen Wen smiled: "Thank you!"

Manager Chen smiled: "It's a trivial matter! If Miss Xu can come often, you will come along!"

Chen Wen said: "She is busy with work now, and I am also busy with business. ”
