Chapter Ninety-Two: Planning
I don't know if it's because of the relationship between overwork when I was young, after getting older, Xie Jinshun's old man's body collapsed rapidly, and after completely retiring, he almost didn't leave home, only in spring and autumn, when the weather was particularly good, he would go out to bask in the sun in the company of his family.
According to the traditional habits in China, the younger sons and daughters can arrange themselves relatively freely when they grow up, but most of the eldest sons choose to stay with their parents to take care of and accompany them.
It was for this reason that Xie Mingyuan returned to China.
After about 20 years of development, the general order of the domestic pop music scene has been basically determined, and a large framework has been formed for Sony, Huage, and Xinda, the three major record companies led by Sony Records, to dominate the music scene.
Among them, Sony Records of course has a Japanese-funded background, but it is not the same as the time and space that Li Qian has experienced, in this time and space, although there have been major wars between China and Japan, and there are two, but the decisive battle locations are on the Korean Peninsula and the Indochina Peninsula, although Fuso has briefly invaded Northeast China, but it has been repelled in only three or two years, and it has been repelled before it can do evil, so although there are contradictions between China and Japan, if the two countries say that there is a national hatred and family hatred, it is far less serious than the time and space that Li Qian has experienced.
At least, in the people of China and Japan, the common people do not have too much hostility and hatred, but it is difficult for the common people in China to change the thinking of a great power that has lasted for thousands of years, and they habitually think that Fusang is still a vassal state of China, and Fusang, because of its developed economy and rapid rise, has always tried to increase its influence on China, but it has not been very successful. As for the implementation of reform and opening up in China, Fuso is the first country to choose the introduction of capital and technology.
Therefore, at the beginning of the opening up of the record market in China, in order to cultivate this market as soon as possible and put the development of the domestic music scene on the right track as soon as possible, Mr. Xie Jinshun took into account that the entertainment culture of Fusang was relatively developed at that time, and the cultural background of the two sides was extremely close, so he went east to Fusang three times, and finally invited Sony Records to open a branch in China.
By 1986, as the domestic music market was booming, Sony Records wanted to increase its investment in China. And they recently developed and prepared to promote the CD technology to China, but at that time there were still considerable restrictions on foreign investment in the cultural propaganda industry, and in the end, the other party chose to invite a large number of musicians led by Mr. Xie Jinshun to join the shares. Sony (China) Records was completely sinicized, and the other party only retained 45% of the shares, which completely took root.
In 1991, Xie Mingyuan, the eldest son of Mr. Xie Jinshun and an internationally renowned violinist, returned to China and became the music director of Sony China. Since then, he has been in charge of the domestic pop music scene, and it has been more than four years.
Xie Mingyuan is tall, handsome, and enjoys a high reputation in the entire international music scene, and his achievements since taking charge of Sony Records are also quite good, and the industry is highly evaluated, it can be said that even singers of Liu Mingming, Zhao Xinfu and Zhen Zhen are in front of him, and they must be bowing down to their ears, and during work. He, a famous artist, is indeed a very dignified person, otherwise, Sony China also has a general manager in charge of everything, how could he, the music director, be considered one of the three giants of the domestic record industry?
It's just that after returning to his home, in the face of his parents and a pair of children, he is a completely different face, not only smiling and smiling. A lot of times, it's more exactly a big boy.
He spent his early years traveling and performing in Europe, and lived in Paris for several years, where he married a local French governess. and gave birth to a son and a daughter, but the old man Xie Jinshun was extremely dissatisfied with the eldest son marrying a foreign woman, although he loved his grandchildren very much, but he always had opinions on his daughter-in-law.
Moreover, the old man when he was young was obviously an extremely cheerful person, and he was even more famous for his atmosphere. But for some reason, he is very stubborn about the family lineage, for example, when he negotiated to buy a stake in Sony, he insisted that the Japanese side must not exceed 50% of the control, otherwise he refused to buy shares, it seems that he does retain the kind of family and country concept in the bones of many older Chinese.
In the end, because he was old and sick, Xie Mingyuan decided to return to China to serve his parents, just because of the old man's stubbornness, he always picked his nose and eyes at other people's foreign daughters-in-law, and it was indeed a certain problem of cultural integration.
And after she left, Xie Mingyuan also vowed not to marry again for the rest of his life, but he couldn't help but feel a little guilty about the two children, in front of this pair of children, he was always a loving father, but the old man was more favored than him, and in the end, the two children were really lawless, just like the demon king of the world, but forced the child's grandmother to stand up and be a black-faced god, which was a little suppressed.
This year is the last day of the year, perhaps Chinese don't care much about the New Year's Day, but the two little babies of the Xie family have been used to it over the years, not only Christmas, but also New Year's Day. So in the afternoon, Xie Mingyuan drove the car and took the two little guys out to play, and he didn't come back until it was nearly late and it seemed to be snowing.
The two little devils were tired of playing, and fell asleep in the car, and when they got out of the car, Xie Mingyuan had to pick up the big one and let the nanny carry the small one to the house, and the old man Xie Jinshun, who was a little dazed all day, heard the movement, but suddenly came to his senses, looking at the small appearance of his grandchildren sleeping with saliva coming out, he grinned silently.
Put the two bear children on the bed, Xie Mingyuan told the little nanny to pay attention to the movements in the house, and then turned back and went downstairs.
After dinner, Xie Mingyuan sat on the sofa and chatted with the old man, and told him some recent developments in the industry - although every time he finished speaking, the old man would say that I was retired, don't tell me in the future, but that was only after he finished speaking, before he said it, the old man would not say so, and even Xie Mingyuan knew very well that he didn't look at retirement, but the domestic record market can have what it looks like today, it can be said that the old man has worked hard all his life, and he cares about it!
Today's events are two in total.
First, as CD sales become higher and higher in the second half of the year, it shows that the market has not only accepted the high-definition audio format of CD, but also as people's lives become more and more affluent, fans have begun to pay less and less attention to the slightly higher price of CD equipment. The Japanese side has once again taken advantage of the situation to propose to increase investment, and has also been secretly contacting some shareholders who bought shares back then, hoping to acquire their shares at a high price, so as to achieve Japan's absolute control over Sony China.
Of course. Xie Mingyuan promised the old man that as long as he was at Sony for a day, he would never allow Sony Records to become a Fuso person in charge of the world again.
The second thing is that Zhou Yan is divorced, and it is said that the other party has domestic violence. Zhou Yan was beaten twice.
After listening to the first thing, the old man Xie Jinshun was silent and his face was gloomy and unhappy, but after listening to the second thing, he sighed helplessly - Zhou Yan is one of his disciples, and don't look at that little girl is as hard as a stone, but after really cooperating, the old man has always been kind to her.
So, after a few moments, he finally spoke, "She...... It's so infatuated!"
Xie Mingyuan nodded and did not speak.
After saying that. The old man seemed to have fallen into some memories, but after a while, he suddenly came back to his senses and said: "Sometimes, I really hope that she will never fall in love in her life, because she has that temperament, she doesn't like anyone, as long as she likes someone, she can definitely take out her heart to others, and in the end, she will definitely be bruised...... It's stupid, it's stupid!"
Xie Mingyuan nodded. As if he felt that the topic was too heavy, he smiled and said, "By the way, do you remember? I told you before." I judge that the domestic pop music scene has probably already had a sufficient foundation, and it is likely that it will begin to enter the era of idols in the next two years. As a result, before I could make a move, someone really went down this path! Hehe, you know this person...... Do you remember Liao Liao's album?"
Old Man Xie Jinshun recalled for a moment, and said with a little hesitation: "Li ...... ...... Li?"
"Li Qian!" Xie Mingyuan said with a smile: "He recently made a record for the girl group over there in Huage. This pulse is pinched too accurately, and the way it is done is also very right, and it is ...... I don't know what to say, he should have judged that the next music scene is the sky of idols, so he made this record, but he is a ...... is too smart, he knows very well that even if he wants to be an idol, he can't just run to the idol to do it, but at the same time as being an idol, he must also come up with some works with depth and precipitation, so that he can go for a long time. It's just that, hehe, I don't believe it, he's a seventeen-year-old young man, it's just that he has this mentality, the key is the work he came up with...... Oh, by the way, there's a CD of his new album in the car, I'll get it for you!"
The old man didn't speak, but Xie Mingyuan got up and walked away two steps, but he stopped, raised his wrist to look at the time, he simply came back again, and after sitting down, he said: "Forget it, don't take it, the time is almost up, let's just watch the party, Dongfang Xing's people sent back the news, saying that the party directly brought a song of the girl group to the opening, it is said that the scene is ...... It's shocking, so I thought, let's just listen to that version!"
While talking, he looked for the remote control, turned on the TV, and tuned to the channel of Dragon Star Satellite TV.
The time was already about 7:40, less than 20 minutes before the party began, and the old man asked him where he was taking the two children and what they were playing with today.
Seeing that the opening of the New Year's Eve song party began, both father and son closed their voices.
The opening film was broadcast, and the camera cut directly to the stage, there was no usual big song and dance, and there were only five beautiful girls standing in the center of the stage. After a while, a girl sang: "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green." ”
With this sentence, Old Man Xie Jinshun's originally squinted eyes instantly opened.
It should be said that after continuous rehearsals and recordings, firstly, the tension of the five girls is getting lighter and lighter, and secondly, they are playing better and better, and when the staff of Dragon Star Satellite TV selects the best version from the two recordings and cuts it in, this final broadcast version is obviously the best.
After listening to it for the first time, Xie Jinshun's old man's hands trembled uncontrollably, and as soon as he opened his voice the second time, he couldn't control it anymore, and the corners of his eyes began to moisten.
The older and more experienced people are, the more knowledgeable they are in music theory and the more talented they are, the easier it is for them to be moved by this work with a simple and melodious melody and sad and poignant lyrics - in the time and space that Li Qian has experienced, this has been verified thousands of times.
When the whole song ended, the five girls left, and the host appeared on the stage, Xie Mingyuan turned his head to take a look, and saw that the old man was already teary-eyed, so he picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
Leaning over, he took the old man's big hand, which was covered with age spots, pulled a tissue and handed it over.
The old man took the tissue, wiped his tears, and after a moment, let out a long sigh.
Xie Mingyuan patted the back of the old man's hand and didn't speak.
After a while, the old man said, "The last few songs he made were all good!
Xie Mingyuan nodded and said with a smile: "Listening to it, I think of my old friend? Hey, old man, how old are you, and you are still crying? Who said that you want to set an example for your grandchildren?"
Xie Jinshun smiled, looked up upstairs with a kind face, pointed to the TV screen that had been turned off and said, "This is a great talent!"
Xie Mingyuan smiled and said, "It's said that he is full of personality!"
Old Man Xie Jinshun turned his head and glanced at him, and asked, "Can you be more personalized than you were a few years ago?"
Xie Mingyuan smiled and said, "I'm not as good as him!"
After a pause, he said: "Liao Liao's songs, He Runqing's songs, plus this one, this year's Golden Melody Awards, will definitely not be able to run him, but the problem is that it is said that the reason why he is reluctant to make his debut is to be admitted to university! ”
Xie Jinshun was silent for a moment and said, "People who have lost their personality can't make good things!"
Xie Mingyuan nodded, was silent for a moment, and said: "It's a pity, his age is still a little younger, he doesn't know, it's not that you have the ability to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and besides, the album he helped those girls make is too much!"
Old man Xie Jinshun didn't listen to the whole album, so he fell silent, but after a while, he said, "So, isn't it the best opportunity for you?"
Xie Mingyuan really laughed proudly when he heard this, "That's right! Huang Zhongda and Du Xiaoming are both smart people, but people who are too smart are often not kind enough! At that time, it will be time for me to stretch out my hand!"
