On October 12th, Oriental Records, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DreamWorks, held an opening ceremony in the small wing on Broadcast Road, which was supposed to be held at the original site of the record company, but it is located in Sham Shui Po, a well-known civilian area in Hong Kong, and the office address environment is really flattering, more than ten meters away is a garbage dump where flies fly, Wang Zifan went once and decided to move the record company, because the terrain of the villa is flat and open, so the ceremony was held here. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The so-called opening ceremony is to show people from all walks of life, the Oriental Company has stood on the starting line of the record competition, at ten o'clock at noon, the preparations for the venue are almost arranged, and the reporters began to enter in turn, similar to a press conference, that is, to build a platform on the lawn outside the small building, the host and master of ceremonies spoke on it, and then Wang Zifan, who is the boss, came to the stage to deliver a speech, and the reporter asked questions below.

The microphone was transmitted to Wang Zifan again, and a reporter was forced to ask questions.

"Mr. Wang, is DreamWorks going to enter the record industry in the future?"

"Although Oriental Records is controlled by DreamWorks, it is completely independent and not subject to the restrictions of film companies!"

"Mr. Wang, I am a reporter from Oriental Daily, what is your goal in founding Oriental Records?"

"First of all, this is a local record company, and now foreign records are rampant in Hong Kong, I hope everyone can unite and open up a way for our local record company!"

"So your goal is to dominate the Hong Kong music scene, and to wipe out the major record companies?"

"You can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk casually, this journalist friend, you are a spy sent by the enemy to invade us!"

"Hahaha......"

There was a burst of laughter at the venue, Wang Zifan answered a few more questions, and after half an hour of interview time, he said with a smile: "Distinguished guests, fellow journalists, the following ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held, and our golden boy and girl are invited to play!"

At Wang Zifan's signal, the crowd spontaneously gave way to a passage, and Zhang Guorong and Mui Yanfang, who were dressed up, appeared hand in hand, and the reporters showed curious eyes and raised their cameras to take a few photos.

"Sure enough, it's a pretty girl!"

"The man's name seems to be Zhang Guorong, and he is called the Three Musketeers with the idol singer Chen Baiqiang!"

"Isn't that the girl singing at the bar?"

"What!"

"Singer?"

"Wang Zifan actually signed a singer!"

"There's headlines now!"

The reporters found out Anita Mui's identity, and there was an uproar, in this era, the bar singer can almost be equated with the nightclub lady, no matter how the owner of DreamWorks Wang Zifan said it, he is also a person with status, and he actually signed a singer, is there any insider in it, some bad reporters began to use their imagination and fabricate the love history of Wang Zifan and Anita Mui out of thin air in a small book.

As a result, Anita Mui almost stood on the stage with Zhang Guorong's support.

Wang Zifan smiled with encouragement, the three of them stood side by side in front of the colored silk ribbon, the hostess brought a plate with three scissors on it, several emcees and hosts began to gag to ease the atmosphere, followed by guest speeches, there are not many invitations this time, but they are all people with heads and faces in the entertainment industry, such as the big singer Xu Guanjie, platinum singer Zhen Ni, the general manager of Fengxing Records, the vice president of Eternal Records, etc.

Xu Guanjie and the general manager of Fengxing Records respectively took the stage to deliver speeches and led the guests to watch, at this time, Wang Zifan, Zhang Guorong, and Anita Mui cut it on the colored silk respectively, and the ribbon cutting ended smoothly, and there was a performance link below, which is easy to arrange, Wang Zifan did this, and selected a few stars from DreamWorks to perform on stage.

Backstage, that is, inside the small building, Anita Mui's mood is not high, and the reporter hit her very hard just now, especially the insulting words she heard, which made her the most sad and sad.

Wang Zifan found Wu Mengda and instructed: "When the meeting is over, every reporter will send red envelopes and tell them not to scribble!"

Wu Mengda asked: "Is the subcontracting weight still according to the old rules?"

Wang Zifan said: "No, double!"

"Okay, I understand!" Wu Mengda smacked his tongue secretly, there are a lot of reporters who came today, and the double red envelope is not a small cost.

Zhang Guorong was comforting Anita Mui in a low voice, but his sincere and serious attitude made Anita Mui very embarrassed.

"Thank you!"

Zhang Guorong said he didn't care: "No thanks, we are colleagues!"

Mei Yanfang smiled: "My name is Mei Yanfang, you can call me Amei in the future!"

Zhang Guorong smiled: "My name is Zhang Guorong, and some friends call me Shizai!"

"Ten boys?"

"Amei, don't take what they said to heart, let it pass in the past, and the future is worth looking forward to!"

"Well, thank you!"

When Wang Zifan came back, he saw Anita Mui smiling and praised: "Shizai, I didn't expect you to be very comforting!"

Zhang Guorong showed a shy expression, and said with concern: "How is the situation outside?"

Wang Zifan said with a smile: "Don't worry, red envelopes will be sent on occasions like this, they won't write scribble, and what if you write it, DreamWorks has a public relations department that specializes in solving these things." ”

Anita Mui apologized: "I'm sorry Mr. Wang, for bothering you." ”

Zhang Guorong said with a smile: "In the future, everyone will often meet, call him Afan, don't look at him dressed very seriously, he is actually a very good friend!"

Mei Yanfang secretly glanced at her, and when she saw Wang Zifan looking at her with a smile, her face flushed and said, "Afan!"

Wang Zifan said with a smile: "That's right, I will rely on you to carry the company's banner in the future, Shizai, you prepare, I will find a chapter of the album for you recently." ”

Anita Mui said excitedly: "Is Shizai going to release a record?"

Zhang Guorong said modestly: "It's a Chinese album!"

Hong Kong Cantonese songs are generally based on "Laughing Karma" composed by Koo Ka-fai in 1974 As an epoch-making work, in the early years, Hong Kong's mainstream pop music was mainly based on Chinese songs and English songs, and in 1974, Gu Jiahui used Cantonese to create the theme song of the same name for the comedy karma TV series, worried about the audience's acceptance, specially found a singing English song with some foreign atmosphere Xiandura to sing this song, after which Cantonese songs began to enter the mainstream of Hong Kong music scene, among which singer Xu Guanjie raised the style of Cantonese songs, and finally formed a thriving atmosphere in the Hong Kong music scene in the 80s.

Anita Mui was surprised, but quickly reacted.

Wang Zifan thought to himself, how can you understand my intentions now, in the future, the major lists of songs will still be the world of Chinese songs, and Hong Kong singers who mainly play Cantonese songs have limitations in their languages, resulting in sales far less than the sales of mainland Mandarin records and Taiwanese Chinese records, and Cantonese singers Zhang Xueyou and Liu Dehua are on the list mainly because of the sales of their Chinese records.

Shi Nansheng hurriedly came in, glanced at the two of them, and smiled at Wang Zifan: "I found the information you wanted!"

"Go upstairs and say!"

"Good!"

Shi Nansheng followed Wang Zifan to the second floor, glanced down, and made sure that there was no one, so he took out the information.

"The sales data of singers in recent years are all here!"

"Thank you!"

Wang Zifan first looked at it, Hong Kong record sales are divided into gold, platinum, double platinum, 300 gold and other levels, of which the standard of gold is 20,000, platinum is 50,000, double platinum is 100,000, and so on Before 1977, the record sales of Hong Kong music were very weak, and after 77, record sales broke through, of course, behind the rapid development of Hong Kong's economy and the right to speak.

1977: There were only 6 platinum records in the year, and the rest were gold records, that year Xiaofeng Sister and Xu Guanjie each had 2 platinum records, Rib and Chen Qiuxia each had a platinum record, and the rest were gold records

1978: Record sales further improved, Sister Xiaofeng had a platinum, Wang Mingquan had 2 single platinums, 2 collection platinums, Deng Lijun 3 platinums, Xu Guanjie and Zhen each had 2 platinums

1979: Except for a few Chinese songs in the platinum album, the rest are mainly Cantonese songs.

This year: The Hong Kong record market is becoming more and more prosperous, and the list of platinum records is longer, among which Teresa Teng's 5 platinum records are unbeatable, Lin Zishen and Zhen of other record companies each have 3 platinum records, Zheng Shaoqiu, Wang Mingquan, Ye Liyi, Xi Xiulan, Xu Guanjie, and Guan Zhengjie each have 2 platinum records.

……

What really surprised Wang Zifan was that Huaxing Records, one of the three major records, had no sales: "The biggest sales now are still Polygram! Why is there no Huaxing?"

Shi Nansheng said unexpectedly: "Don't you know, Huaxing Records has not signed a singer!"

Huaxing Records is subordinate to TVB, established in 1971, at the beginning of the work of receiving foreign singers to perform in Hong Kong, there are no singers under its banner and do not produce records, in the early 80s, the TV station invited singers to TVB to take the stage at a high cost, and the shrewd TVB master decided to recruit singers from the cost of Huaxing Records to solve the problem of expensive singers for TV stations.

Wang Zifan couldn't help but be speechless, Huaxing didn't release records, nor did he sign singers, how did it become one of the three major record companies, it was really a tiger and monkey in the mountains to dominate, his Oriental Records just took advantage of this gap to rise, replacing Huaxing's position, and when Huaxing Records woke up and caught up, he was giving her a fatal blow.

"Who counts the sales of records?"

Shi Nansheng felt a headache, he was really a white in this regard, and explained: "Hong Kong record sales in platinum records, gold records involve an organization, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, is the abbreviation IFPI above, Hong Kong's IFPI was established in 1967, and in 1977 began to award gold records and platinum records, of which Hong Kong platinum records refer to record sales of more than 50,000 copies, double platinum refers to record sales of more than 100,000 copies, and so on...... It also says on the information!"

In the 80s, IFPI published record sales that were more credible, and it was the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) that the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) asked an accountant to go to the record company to check the financial books and count the sales of records.

Wang Zifan nodded, he is most optimistic about Teresa Teng as the singer on the information, he was also his fan, after searching for her information, he will soon set off a "Teresa Teng pop song craze" in the United States, becoming the most successful and influential Chinese singer internationally recognized, if Teresa Teng can be signed, plus his golden finger, then Oriental Records can directly compete with international record companies.
