Chapter 651: Nonsense
The planning department seems to be the busiest in Hongxing Company, and Zhou Shenjian is still discussing work with two subordinates, a man and a woman, as if it is about Android.
Yang Jingxing has walked around the planning department a few times, so everyone can call each other when they meet, but Zhou Shenjian still introduces it. A man in his thirties is a copywriter and media, and the image of a pop culture person. The woman looks about the same age as Pang Xi, doing graphic work, ordinary appearance, conservative professional attire.
Zhou Shenjian said that Android was going to be on the show again, because the announcement came in a hurry, so they had to step up the preparation of materials and communicate with the TV station: "...... What's up there?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I have pressed a lot of submissions, and I can't say it if I don't look at it again." ”
Zhou Shenjian was a little skeptical: "You are doing this? so late." ”
Yang Jingxing nodded: "Just start learning." ”
Entering the elevator, Zhou Shenjian encouraged again: "It's good to be familiar with the process, and then ask others to do it, and then you will know what is going on." ”
Yang Jingxing smiled: "I'll do it for myself first." ”
Zhou Shenjian said that he had listened to Tong Yichun's new song, which was very good: "...... You eat by your talents, not like you are working as coolies. ”
Yang Jingxing said that after working as a coolie for a day today, in order to adjust his spirit, he looked at some case files of the planning department in the company's archives: "...... I think it's the opposite, we are the coolies, you are the wisdom. ”
Zhou Shenjian smiled modestly: "At most, a little cleverness, wisdom can't be talked about." ”
The male copywriter said: "We are like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we have done a lot of things, fans can't see it, and singers don't necessarily ...... Heed. ”
Zhou Shenjian envied Yang Jingxing: "Unlike you, a good song comes out, and the singer praises the fans." ”
Yang Jingxing smiled: "Without your help to blow, who praised it...... who wrote the paragraph of "The Frog at the Bottom of the Well", I blushed when I read it." ”
Zhou Shenjian haha: "Xiao Wu...... She really likes it, not to blow it. ”
The female artist said, "It's very nice......
When he went to the parking lot, Zhou Shenjian said, "Drive my car." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "Drive mine, save fuel." ”
Zhou Shenjian said: "Teng Li has opened mine, it's convenient, let's drink some later." ”
Yang Jingxing was not polite: "Listen to your arrangement." ”
The planning department is much more particular than the editorial department, and you have to go to the box of this leather sofa for supper, and you have to have an aperitif first, and listen to the spring water of the rockery.
The exquisite dishes need to wait for some time, so Zhou Shenjian suggested that Yang Jingxing have a massage, there are technicians with good skills.
Yang Jingxing was polite again: "You please, I don't need it." ”
Zhou Shenjian envied the good of the young, and this led to health, but Zhou Shenjian is not a blind person, what he recommended to Yang Jingxing was yoga, saying that he had experienced the benefits of persevering for a few years, and then when it came to feng shui, the feng shui furnishings in this room were a bit of a doorway......
After analyzing it for Yang Jingxing, Zhou Shenjian said that he only knew the skin, and he had a childhood friend, who was more superficial than him, who studied in the United States for a master's degree in chemistry and did not come back.
Zhou Shenjian was enthusiastic: "When are you going to buy a house, I know a good master who looks at the Yang Mansion, and I will ask him to show you when the time comes." ”
Yang Jingxing regretted: "My family has already bought it for me." ”
Zhou Shenjian became his own master, what orientation, how many floors, and what kind of house type...... Then he said that Yang Jingxing earned it, and it was all good feng shui.
Yang Jingxing doesn't understand at all, Zhou Shenjian preaches and teaches, feng shui is everywhere, even a small watch is also exquisite, he wears a gold watch himself, not because of the display, but because of the lack of gold in the five elements.
Yang Jingxing was shocked: "400,000 is enough to fight a golden suit." ”
Zhou Shenjian wanted to open Yang Jingxing's eyes, saying that he had a few watches, and in order to maintain them, he bought a small watch shaker, and spent tens of thousands of dollars ruthlessly, and felt that he was very luxurious, but once he went to a rich man's house, and his watch shaker was as big as his wardrobe, and there were at least one hundred and eighty watches in it, each of which was worth at least one of his cars.
Yang Jingxing couldn't even think about it: "...... At least tens of millions. ”
Zhou Shenjian wants to talk about interest and pursuit, not money: "...... Tong Yichun, she's not in it for money, people like this. Loving a line and doing a line is more interesting than doing a line of love, and if you want to do it, you have to do it well. ”
Yang Jingxing nodded approvingly.
Zhou Shenjian talked about the other two singers of Hongxing, one jazz and the other folk, and asked Yang Jingxing if he was familiar with it.
Yang Jingxing shook his head, one had seen it, and the other had just heard about it, but the two singer-songwriters Gan Kaicheng still appreciated it, and their insights into music seemed to be deeper than Tong Yichun's.
Zhou Shenjian admires these two, they belong to the complete self-style, they have never considered commercial factors in making music, and they don't seem to think about promoting themselves well, which makes the planning department powerless, of course, people are not interested in the planning department at all.
When the folk singer released the album the year before last, the planning department originally wanted to do it well with a limited budget, but the singer never took the initiative to communicate with the planning department. After the planning department ran before and after, he finally arranged a few signing sessions, begged grandpa to invite the media to visit grandma, and carefully designed the theme and process details of the signing concert, but the singer didn't read the planning book, and he played on the spot very chic and handsome......
The male copywriter participated: "It was really embarrassing at the time...... We'll wipe the butt. ”
Zhou Shenjian didn't have any grievances, just talked about things: "Everyone has their own personality, singers and artists have a bit of personality and can understand better, but through this matter, I have to cause some thinking." ”
Yang Jingxing was willing to hear the details: "Hmm." ”
Zhou Shenjian thought of South Korea: "...... In fact, there is nothing else, just one point, the management norms and responsibilities are clear, no one is unreasonable, and the artist is also a part of the team, all for work. In fact, these problems have been talked about for so many years, and it is really difficult to change them, China ......"
Yang Jingxing smiled: "I also rely on relationships." ”
Zhou Shenjian shook his head: "Lao Gan is a person who values affection, but digging you up is a great contribution to the company...... You didn't have a deep friendship with him before you came, did you?"
Yang Jingxing nodded: "But for me, I can only be affectionate...... I think the relationship between the planning department and the editorial department is not bad, and I don't want to embarrass Manager Gan, if I do anything wrong in the company in the future, can Manager Zhou remind me?"
Zhou Shenjian shook his head: "It's a lot of heart, everyone's evaluation of you is good, to be honest, I also think that Manager Yang is talented and characterful, and it is easy to make friends." My son is no more than two or three years younger than you, and the generation gap is impossible to communicate at all, and I am often so angry that my heart hurts. Forget it, out of sight and out of mind. ”
Yang Jingxing asked, "Where did you go?"
Speaking of which, Zhou Shenjian and Gan Kaicheng should have a common language, Zhou Shenjian's sister has immigrated to Japan for many years and also works in a music company.
Zhou Shenjian's son went to his aunt's house two years ago to study in Tokyo, and he didn't read anything, but as soon as he was confused by the music atmosphere in Tokyo, he didn't take his father seriously at all.
Zhou Shenjian attributed the responsibility for the loss of his father's majesty to the backwardness of the industry, but if we were to take it apart and compare, it seemed that the manpower in each link would not be much worse, so how could it be so obvious when taken together? Zhou Shenjian could even stand on the standpoint of Yang Jingxing, a person who receives dividends and royalties, to crusade against rampant piracy.
The male copywriter joked that the boss sent his son to South Korea to study, and Manager Zhou sent his son to Japan to study.
Zhou Shenjian said that he would definitely not be able to do it for three days with his son's character, and it would take accumulation and precipitation to do this, but: "...... Zhang Yingyi will definitely bring a lot of new things when he comes back, South Korea is actually learning from Japan, Europe and the United States, and I think it is influenced by their compulsory military service. ”
The male copywriter smiled: "It's better to learn Japan directly." ”
Zhou Shenjian and Yang Jingxing revealed: "As early as the first half of next year, the A&R department will be opened, but the editorial department and the planning department will definitely not be withdrawn or merged." ”
Yang Jingxing nodded understandingly.
Zhou Shenjian said: "We are all old fritters, deep-rooted, backward, the boss will definitely hope that you wish his son a hand, they are all young people." ”
Yang Jingxing is not very confident: "I don't know if it can have a little effect." ”
Zhou Shenjian said that as far as he knows, in South Korea, the kind of company that focuses on cultivating idols, the music production department is actually a bit marginalized, and some are still outsourced: "...... But Hongxing can't be like that, I can't see it, the boss is actually quite affectionate. ”
Yang Jingxing nodded: "I think too." ”
Zhou Shenjian thinks that a balance should be taken, blindly pandering to and keeping pace with the times too much is not good, and it is not good to be too conservative. Hongxing hasn't found a good strategy yet, let's talk about marketization, the R&B singers who are now popular, Hongxing has not cultivated or excavated, let's talk about nostalgia for strength, Duan Liying rested, and Android has not yet got its due status.
In short, the goal must be clear, and then work hard. Zhou Shenjian knows a boss who makes fever records, and he has been digging out a lot of good voices for ten years, and has always insisted on and even improved the production level. Although the names of those singers are almost unheard of for ordinary fans, the records have been selling well and making a lot of money.
Zhou Shenjian felt: "It is said that fans have low taste, but I think people who are willing to pay for it have no low taste at all, and they are not stupid at all." ”
Speaking of taste, Zhou Shenjian understands that the Conservatory of Music is to train students with high taste, Yang Jingxing should of course know that those famous performers and singers live much better than pop singers, and even in this year when CDs are said to be dead, records are not worried about sales, and tickets are sold out a few months in advance, causing people in ticket companies to feel that high grade is more profitable.
Zhou Shenjian watched the news, pianist Qin Mengli bought a villa in Hong Kong, worth hundreds of millions, it is said that they are all earned by concerts, if Hongxing gives the singer so many concerts a year, Hongxing will have to close down, because the concert is really not profitable: "...... No endorsement, no acupuncture, a concert is counted as a thousand people, even if it is a million income, how much can he get?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I heard that it is similar to our company, and it is also how much is a game, Qin Mengli is the top, it is estimated that it is not cheap, 500,000 or more." ”
Zhou Shenjian's eyes widened: "He got it, what about the company?"
Yang Jingxing guessed: "There should also be a contract." ”
Zhou Shenjian was too envious, because he could imagine how easy Qin Mengli's planning and propaganda work would be.
