Chapter 389: The Chinese Music Scene and the Venue Culture Production Manager (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)
Lei went back excitedly, leaving Liu, Cui Jian, Zhao Baogang, and Feng Pants still in the court.
Cui Jian was excitedly fiddling with the instruments in the studio, and the depression on his face when he just came over was long gone.
"How is it, are you still satisfied with this place?" Wu Jianye asked with a smile.
Cui Jian nodded and said: "Satisfied, so satisfied, Lao Wu, the instruments and recording equipment you have here are the best, are you planning to release another album?"
Wu Jianye shook his head, "I don't have time, I'm too busy, and there may be less things to release albums in the future, this is for the singers of Tangting Culture, and I am going to set up a record company under Tangting Culture." ”
After speaking, Wu Jianye glanced at Cui Jian and said with a smile: "How about it, are you interested in becoming the first signed singer of Tangting Records, anyway, you were also expelled from the symphony orchestra." ”
Last year was Cui Jian's first peak year, "Rock on the New Long March", "Nothing", "No More Cover-up", "Exodus" These classic songs were all created in this year.
At the end of the year, Yenching University even established the 'Yenching University Cui Jian Support Association', which is the second support association organization in China.
The first support club organization was the 'Wu Jianye Support Association', which was jointly formed by students from many universities in Yenching, and was established after the life-saving concert, but because Wu Jianye had not released a record for a long time, this support club is not as lively as it was before the beginning.
Except for some old people who play music know, newcomers don't know anymore.
However, this year, Cui Jian played big, and when he starred in the Yanjing Capital Gymnasium, he covered the classic song "Nanniwan" in a rock way, which led to his music being banned, and Cui Jian himself was expelled from the symphony orchestra......
Cui Jian said with some emotion: "If you had told me earlier, it would have been no problem, but I had already promised ADO before, and now I am running to you, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"
ADO is one of the veteran bands of Chinese rock music, the band has four members, drummer San'er, saxophone Liu Yuan, is Chinese, guitar and vocalist Eddie is from Madagascar, and bassist Barash is Hungarian.
San'er is known as one of the best drummers in China, but unfortunately died young.
Wu Jianye said nonchalantly: "This is simple, just invite us together!"
Cui Jian smiled happily: "Then it's no problem, San'er, they have wanted to meet you for a long time!"
"Then it's decided, you hurry up and call them here in the past two days, I won't stay in Yanjing for a few days, and I'm going to Phoenix City soon." Wu Jianye said.
"No problem!" Cui Jian gestured with an ok.
Later, Wu Jianye invited Liu again, and Liu himself also wanted to find a professional recording studio, and now he wanted to sign his own record company, so he agreed without much thought.
However, Liu still said: "But I may not have that much time to record songs or participate in performances, after all, there are still classes at school!"
Wu Jianye has no opinion on this, Liu and Cui Jian have always been known for their personalities, and they cannot be restrained by the inherent business model, only by giving them more freedom can they create more outstanding works.
In fact, the people of this era are almost the same, and the same is true for Wang Shuo and others.
However, with the industrialization of the entertainment industry, such a model is not something that ordinary entertainment companies can afford, because these people are like inverted antiques, often not open for three years, and the entertainment company can't afford it for three years.
So this form will slowly disappear in the future.
In fact, the hottest music style in China in the past two years is not Cui Jian's rock style, but the northwest wind.
"Xintianyou", "My Hometown of Love", "Loess High Slope", etc., are representative songs of this genre.
In fact, not only the Chinese music scene has become popular in the northwest wind songs in the past two years, but even the Chinese film industry has also blown the northwest wind in the past two years, Chen Kaige's "Yellow Earth", Wu Tianming's "Old Well", and even "Red Sorghum" that Lao Mouzi is filming now.
If nothing else, the three pure northwest wind songs of "Sister, You Go Forward Boldly", "Dionysian Comedy", and "Sedan Song" will still become the interlude of "Red Sorghum".
In the process of the prosperity of the 'Northwest Wind', many media in the Chinese mainland also contributed to it, and these mass communication tools for the first time realized their overall influence on the pop music market.
In the literary supplements and entertainment magazines of many newspapers, many critics expressed their views on the 'Northwest Wind', reporters withdrew a large number of singers, the authors interviewed fans, introduced the movements of the 'Northwest Wind' to fans, and several professional music journals even opened up the 'Northwest Wind Songs' and 'Northwest Folk Songs' columns.
It's a pity that this northwest wind didn't blow for too long in the domestic music scene, and in just two or three years, it disappeared from everyone.
Then there is the rise of Cantonese songs.......
"Mr. Wu, if you want to set up a record company, do you want to sign a few more singers, Cheng is very popular now!" Feng Pants suggested.
Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "No need, let's get Lao Cui and Liu right first!"
At present, there are no perfect laws and regulations on the contract of singers in China, which also leads to many singers leaving the original record company immediately after becoming famous and forming their own independent behavior.
This was a very common behavior throughout the late eighties.
Wu Jianye didn't want to find some singers who didn't know much about him, or who couldn't control it.
And the business of music tapes in this era is even more prosperous, just take the tape factory that has long been separated from Tunan Technology, and the sales in the past two years are close to the benefits of the Walkman.
An average singer's music tapes sell 500,000 to 1 million copies.
However, the domestic music industry, like the film industry, came out in the late 80s and 90s, and experienced its own from glory to trough.
In the '90s, sales of this tape fell to 30,000 copies.......
The gap is so big that people can't imagine it.
At that time, domestic singers also began to go to the cave, but they were basically fixed in Yanjing, Shanghai, Guangdong Province and other places, but even in this situation, most domestic singers are still coaxing.
Coupled with the increasingly close connection between Hong Kong and China, Hong Kong and Taiwan singers have entered the domestic market to seize the market, resulting in the domestic music market becoming more and more sluggish.......
But that's all for later, and now what Wu Jianye has to do is to establish the outline of the court record first, and grow slowly like the court culture.
Later, the negotiations with ADO were also very smooth, and when I saw Wu Jianye, I also looked like a little fan brother.
.......
"Xiaowan, there are two things that are looking for you this time. ”
Before heading to Phoenix, Wu Jianye met with the last guest, Li Xiaowan.
Previously, because Lin Shen had already played the little emperor in "The Last Emperor", and because of Li Shaohong, the relationship between the two parties has always been good.
Li Xiaowan hurriedly smiled and said, "Director Wu, if there is anything, just ask for it!"
Wu Jianye waved his hand, "You know, I will start the filming of a new movie in the second half of the year, there is a role of a child in the movie, which is quite suitable for Lin Shen, I want Lin Shenlai to continue to play this role in my movie, but to shoot this role, when the time comes, you will have to go to Jiayuguan and other places with us to shoot, and the conditions may be a little hard!"
The two children of the military department Shangshu, a little boy and a little girl, on the little boy's side, Wu Jianye was very satisfied with Lin Shen's performance in "The Last Emperor", so he still wanted to take him with him this time.
Li Xiaowan first asked with some worry: "Director Wu, what are you talking about hardship?"
Wu Jianye smiled: "Naturally, it is the environment there." ”
After thinking for a while, Li Xiaowan said: "It's okay, this kid is sensible now, and last time he was clamoring to tell me that he wanted to find him Uncle Wu to continue playing." ”
"Okay, that's it, now let's talk about the second thing!"
Wu Jianye glanced at Li Xiaowan, who was a little puzzled, before continuing: "That's the case, now that the development of Tangting Culture is getting faster and faster, the management personnel are a little unable to keep up, I want Xiaowan you to come to Tangting Culture as the manager of the production department, and the first job is to serve as the producer of "New Dragon Gate Inn". ”
With the development of the domestic entertainment industry, after 2000, there were three major female agents among the domestic agents, namely Wang Jinghua, the first agent known as Sister Hua.
Wang Jinghua began to contact the broker industry in 91, the first Gao Xiaosong, Dai Rao, Li Huizhen, etc. were brought out by her, and then Shuangbing, Hu, Chen Daoming, etc., are all related to her.
It's just that Wang Jinghua is too noisy, she ran away twice, and successively pitted Huayi and Orange Sky, which caused them to be greatly injured, and when Wu Jianye was reborn, they hadn't recovered yet.
Of course, Wu Jianye is not afraid that she will also change jobs, Huayi, it is definitely not the reason why Orange Sky can't keep her, the most important thing is that Wang Jinghua is not in Yanjing now, it is too troublesome to find her, let's wait until later.
The other is Chang Jihong, and the people under him are also famous, such as Jiang Wenli in the early stage, Sun Li, Liu Ye, Yu and others in the middle period, Wang Luodan and Huang ....... in the later period
However, it is somewhat similar to Wang Jinghua's situation, and Wu Jianye doesn't know where she is now.......
The last one left is the Li Xiaowan in front of her, Chen Kun, Zhou, Huang Jue, Da Mi Mi, Zhang Jing and others were all her soldiers.
The most important thing is that Li Xiaowan is not only very successful in her identity as an agent, but also in her identity as a producer.
"Daming Palace Ci", "April Day in the World", "Orange is Red", "Life and Death" These excellent TV series are all produced by her.
With the development of the domestic entertainment industry, the later development of Tangting culture will no longer be just the development of Wu Jianye alone, and will definitely absorb more directors, actors, and singers.
Now it seems that Li Xiaowan is a good candidate.
And serving as the producer of "New Dragon Gate Inn" is the first test that Wu Jianye gave Li Xiaowan.
"Join the court culture?" Li Xiaowan didn't expect that Wu Jianye actually wanted to draw herself into the court culture, which made her a little unsure of how to answer.
Now Li Xiaowan's working relationship is still in the creative department of Yan Film Studio.
For people in this era, leaving their iron rice bowl and working in a private company is a very bold act, and ordinary people do not have this courage.
"It's okay, you can think about this matter, I can stay in Yanjing for two more days, you can give me an accurate reply before I leave!" Wu Jianye said.
Wu Jianye knew that this kind of major event must be discussed with his family, so he gave Li Xiaowan a buffer time.
After dealing with Li Xiaowan's matter, Wu Jianye went to see Li Xiuming, after all, he would leave Yanjing again in a few days, and when he came back in Yanjing, it would be almost time for Zhu to give birth, and there would definitely be no time to see Li Xiuming at that time.
The day before Wu Jianye left, Li Xiaowan found Wu Jianye.
"Director Wu, you will be a soldier under you in the future, please take care of it in the future!" Li Xiaowan finally decided to come to Tangting Culture to work.
Li Xiaowan's salary in Yanying Studio is less than 100 yuan per month, while Tangting Culture's salary is 500 yuan per month, and Wu Jianye also promised her that there will be more benefits for her in the future.
At the same time, although Li Xiaowan is in the creative department of Yan Film Studio, she still appears more as an assistant director, scene notes and other miscellaneous things, but now Tangting Culture has given her another way out, Li Xiaowan, who has ideas in her heart, is naturally impossible to give up this opportunity.
"Haha, welcome!" Wu Jianye laughed and shook hands with her.
Then she called Xia Xiaohong and asked her to take Li Xiaowan to see the office that had been prepared for her.
.......
"How long will it take to go this time?" Zhu Zheng stood next to Wu Jianye, watching him pack his luggage, originally she was going to help, but seeing that it was difficult for her to bend over, where did Wu Jianye dare to let Zhu do it.
"It didn't take long, it was mainly about where to go to shoot and then find a suitable place to shoot, and I would be back in about a week or two!" Wu Jianye said softly.
Zhu nodded and said, "Then you pay attention to safety over there!"
"Don't worry, Xiao Feifei and Feng Pants will follow me over this time, and it will be fine!"
"Be safe on the road, too, and be safe on the road when you drive past. Zhu still said with some unease.
After listening to Zhu's entrustment, Wu Jianye felt that this was a problem.
"That's a problem, okay, I'll call Zhou Tao and ask him to transfer a few security guards to come with us!" Wu Jianye said.
In this day and age, the road is not so safe. 2k reading web
