597 [Reform and opening up is coming]

The crooked river, the green hills, the small villages, the blue sky, the fragrance of flowers, how can people yearn for you, ah, ask your hometown, ask if your hometown is okay......"

On the stage of Studio 3, Teresa Teng wore a Chinese costume and held a connected microphone in her hand, singing "Love in a Small Village" dignified and elegant affectionately, which was selected for the first Hong Kong Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards.

"Miss Deng's singing is really good, I feel that she is more suitable for the title of golden voice than Zhou Xuan. He Zuozhi couldn't help but sigh.

He Zuozhi is a person who came from the Republic of China, when he was young, Zhou Xuan was popular, and the song "Night Shanghai" was popular all over the country.

The purchasing power of hundreds of oceans at that time was very high, no less than the current hundreds of thousands, which also led to the outside world giving Zhou Xuan the title of a golden voice, and later she also happily accepted this title, and the new album was named after a golden voice.

"Yes, she sings really well, and now Jenny can compare it a little. Huo Yaowen looked at the graceful figure on the stage, and for a while a lot of Teresa Teng's brilliant achievements came to mind, the world's first Chinese female singer with more than 10 million records, and a generation of singers who are well-known among the world's Chinese community...... Wait a minute.

"Speaking of Jenny, I suddenly remembered something. ”

He Zuozhi suddenly said: "In August, Zhen Ni came to Hong Kong from Taiwan, and after Gu Jiahui's introduction, she joined our Phoenix Records, and the new record "Struggle" sold more than 200,000 copies in Hong Kong and more than 500,000 in Taiwan, and we are ready to certify the sales of this record to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. ”

"Record certification? I don't think I had it before. Huo Yaowen glanced at him.

He Zuozhi nodded: "No, it's not that after we cooperated with Polydo, they recommended us to join the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, saying that the certification of record sales will help singers develop internationally." ”

"What about Girls' Generation?"

"They have been certified, the first record is certified for 1.1 million, the second is currently selling about 1.7 million, the International Phonographic Association is already verifying the sales, only one passes, then Girls' Generation will become the highest-selling group of Chinese female singers in the world. ”

When it comes to the record sales of Girls' Generation, He Zuozhi is happy, you must know that this is the position of the sales champion of Chinese female singers in the world, even Teresa Teng, who is popular all over Asia, has never sold such a high sales of her single record.

"1.7 million. ”

Huo Yaowen blinked, it seems that Japanese fans are very enthusiastic, it was said before that Japan sold 1.2 million copies, which contributed two-thirds of the total sales!

After the rehearsal, Teresa Teng politely handed the microphone to the tuning staff, hurriedly walked off the stage, ran closer and shouted, "Mr. Huo." ”

Huo Yaowen smiled and said: "Ajun, you came just in time, just now Manager He praised you for being more suitable for a golden voice than Zhou Xuan, he said it well, listening to Miss Deng's "Love in a Small Village" on the spot is even better than playing a record at home." ”

was praised, Teresa Teng blushed embarrassedly, then turned her head to look at He Zuozhi and said: "Ms. Zhou has always been a senior I like very much, how dare I compare with her." ”

"Miss Deng, you are too modest, in my opinion, you are no worse than Zhou Xuan at all. ”

He Zuozhi laughed, anyway, he liked Teresa Teng's songs very much, and privately bought a lot of her records to listen to at home.

……

It didn't take long for Girls' Generation to go on stage for rehearsals, and after watching their rehearsals, Huo Yaowen said goodbye to He Zuozhi and prepared to drive home, and it happened that Teresa Teng was also going back to the hotel, so she was sent back together.

Huo Yaowen was chatting with Teresa Teng while driving, and suddenly something inexplicably came to mind, raised his eyebrows and asked, "By the way, Ajun, is your contract with Polydor about to expire?"

Teresa Teng nodded: "Well, it's due next year." Originally, Polydor wanted to renew my contract, but Taiwan TV invited me to join their record company, and my family also supported me to come back to sing, so I didn't renew my contract. ”

"No wonder......" Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows, it seems that the incident is not even, it is the ghost of Polydo.

"What's the wonder?"

"Oh, nothing. ”

Huo Yaowen glanced at Teresa Teng, saw that she was staring at herself curiously, and shook her head with a smile, "I said that since you don't renew your contract, you will join Huanyu Records." ”

"Universal Records?" Teresa Teng blinked, tilting her head as if thinking about which company Universal Records was.

"Yes, it won't be long before my Universal International Records company will be established, and the company will spend a lot of money to hire some excellent musicians, and the distribution channels in Asia will not be worse than that of Polaroid. ”

At the last meeting of Huanyu Group, in addition to developing Huanyu Films and DreamWorks, Huo Yaowen also asked the general manager of the company to set up a record company and develop a record channel belonging to Huanyu Group.

Of course, it will not start from scratch, it is natural to set up a company first, and then acquire a few good small companies, and integrate all the resources, which may not be as good as Polygram, but it will not be much worse if you think about it, after all, Polydor at this time is not Polygram a few years later.

"The news was a bit sudden, and I was left to think about it. ”

Teresa Teng hesitated for a few seconds and did not agree immediately.

"Thinking about it more, I know that the record companies of Taiwan Television are not very strong in their distribution and publicity capabilities. ”

Fok Yaowen is still very confident in the future prospects of the group's record company, which has not yet been established, after all, backed by Universal Newspaper, Asia's largest news company, there are still a few brushes in the promotion of record release.

"Okay. Teresa Teng nodded preciously, thinking that she would seriously consider it after going back.

……

Half an hour later, after sending Teresa Teng back to the hotel to rest, Huo Yaowen went straight back to the villa in the middle of the mountain.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Anna shouting to himself, Huo Yaowen didn't even take off his shoes, and ran directly into the living room, only to see Anna standing by the telephone, holding the microphone and saying, "It's Uncle Huo who called, you hurry up and answer it." ”

Huo Yaowen stepped forward quickly, took the microphone and said, "Hey Uncle Huo, I'm Yaowen." ”

"Haha Yaowen, you came back just in time, I still want to tell Anna first......"

was listening, suddenly Huo Yaowen felt that someone was pushing him, and when he didn't pay attention, he sat directly on the sofa, looked down, and saw that Anna was helping him take off his shoes.

Seeing Anna holding the leather shoes, and pointing to the soiled carpet, he suddenly understood that Anna blamed him for not having slippers, Huo Yaowen grinned at her.

Suddenly listening to the good news from Huo Guantai on the other end of the phone, he was suddenly surprised and said, "What? Brother Huo got married? Why is it so sudden!"

Huo Guantai said angrily: "I'm angry when I talk about it! It's not that this decrepit boy has made the girl's belly bigger! If you don't get married now, it's hard to wait until your belly gets bigger before you get married." ”

"This ......"

Huo Yaowen couldn't cry or laugh, the last time he went out to eat with Huo Zhenting, the other party specially asked him to bring Anna with him, and when he looked at it, he realized that it was the same as history, and this Huo Guantai's eldest son soaked in Sister Hong Kong.

It's just that I didn't expect to get my belly bigger so soon and get married.

"Okay, let's not talk about him, Yaowen remembers that he must come over when the time comes. ”

"Brother Huo gets married, I will definitely be present in person! You don't have to worry about this Uncle Huo. ”

"Haha, I'm afraid Yaowen is too busy with work to forget. ”

Huo Guantai smiled, suddenly remembered the incident in the north, and asked in a deep voice: "By the way, Yaowen, has President Liang been looking for you recently?"

"President Liang? No, what's wrong?"

"Chairman Liang may return to the mainland early next year, as if the policy there has been loosened, and he will return to preside over the work as the president of the new news agency in Hong Kong. ”

Loosening the policy......

Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows, reform and opening up are coming?
