Chapter 46: Deception and Bewitchment

"Before I give my opinion, Rong Shao, I want to ask, have you ever thought about the way out for the Victory Band?"

"A way out?"

"That's right, the way out. Hong Kong can't afford a second band of the same kind because the market is too small. There is already a Wenna in front, and it is still Polygram that has spent a lot of effort to build. Even if there are other record companies that are optimistic, they will not necessarily take the risk and invest in you. If you can't even get a foothold in Xiangjiang itself, let alone go to other cities to develop. Therefore, the band's positioning, way out, and development prospects are what you must seriously consider at the moment. ”

"What does it mean to have fewer stars......"

"Turning the whole into one, the main recommendation is Ah Rong. ”

It's not that Li Wenxing has a black belly, and when he comes up, he wants to break up other people's bands and sabotage them, but the band formed by Zhang Guorong has no way out at all.

really wants to start a band, definitely not to say that Li Wenxing can make it by copying a few popular classic songs right away.

If it is really that simple, then why has no one done this for half a century? You only need to find a famous composer and lyricist, even if it is 500,000 yuan to buy a song, buy 10 songs and 8 songs back, and release a record for publicity, it will become popular in an instant, and then it will all be profitable.

You must know that some famous singers can eat for many years with a single song, so wouldn't it be appropriate to copy three or five songs for this victory band?

But that's not the case at all.

Why do they put the word 'underground' in front of Zhang Guorong's band? That's because they can really only be an underground band, and they can't get on the mainstream media platforms at all.

Now Xiangjiang already has a Wenna band, and it is still a band built by PolyGram with a lot of money and full support of all horsepower and resources. If Zhang Guorong's victory band suddenly appeared at this time, what kind of scene would it be?

There is no doubt that it will definitely be suppressed to the point that it will not be able to come out at all.

Although Polygram was established not long ago, it relied on the support of the financiers behind it, and various capital channels and resources were infinitely scattered to the small land of Xiangjiang. To put it mildly, a sneeze from Polygram can wipe out all the local record companies in Hong Kong. What is the most terrible thing about an industry? A monopoly is the most terrible.

You must know that at this time in Xiangjiang, local record companies are still operating in small workshops and small companies, and they are completely powerless to fight back in the face of a behemoth like Polygram.

To put it simply, as long as the Victory Band dares to show its head, PolyGram will immediately use all its connections to completely crush it, whether it is print media or electronic media, never dream that they will have the slightest report about the Victory Band. And without propaganda channels, it will always be an underground band.

That's good, if Polygram is ruthless and plays some tricks, then even the underground band won't want to do it.

If it's just for fun, that's okay, everyone just has fun. The key is that Li Wenxing doesn't look at these people like they just want to have fun, they still want to get out on the mainstream stage, so he has to wake them up early.

"Polygram is not particularly good at the moment and can crush other male singers in the same period, which gives Rong Shaoyou a chance to rise. Debuting in a band is definitely not a good idea. Because there is already a Wenner above, you are a natural competitor, and Polygram will definitely not let you come up. But if you just push Rong less you, there will be a lot less resistance. ”

"In this way, first of all, Aliang Amin, they can also be adjusted to your royal accompaniment orchestra. Actually, this is the same thing as playing in a band, but the name is different. Secondly, you can gather all the resources to Ah Rong you, avoiding dispersion and waste. One ten or ten one, who is more eye-catching? Then, rationalize the division of labor. In the future, Rong Shao will practice singing skills and typhoon performances, because you are the face of the band. Amin, Aliang, and Abao each worked hard to improve their musical instruments. Everyone can focus on one and everyone can learn well, so that your overall level can improve quickly. ”

"In terms of business operations, this is called adjusting the structure of the enterprise and cultivating internal skills. Only when we have a good foundation and the suppression of potential hostile forces can we have the confidence and opportunity to talk about development and the future. Otherwise, the foundation is not solid, there is no core competitiveness, and when you finally can make your debut, you will be suppressed when you encounter a strong enemy. That will slowly wear away all your passion and edges, and without those two things, the band will be playing. ”

The eloquent and sonorous words that came out of Li Wenxing's mouth cannot be said to be completely based on reality, and there is also a certain element of deception, mainly because he wants to dispel Zhang Guorong's idea of continuing to play in the band as soon as possible.

It's really not a good time for the band to debut and become famous, even if you add yourself, it is absolutely impossible to go hard with a big company like Polygram. Unless the band is directly developed and sent to Polygram for exploitation, it is not a dizziness, and a fool is willing to do this. Either to be suppressed, or to deliver food to others, how to choose? There is no third way to go.

Moreover, continuing to play in the band is also a waste of Zhang Guorong's talent.

Not to mention that you can't see the rainbow without experiencing wind and rain, and individual talented people don't need to go through unnecessary polishing and setbacks at all, and they can complete all the various expressions and postures and typhoon singing you need with just true interpretation. It's not like an actor has to stab a person to death if he wants to play a murderer, right? It's the same with singers, they don't have to wander for a few years before they come back to sing the love song of the prodigal son, right?

"There is some truth in what you say, but what we lack most now is good songs......"

"No, no, no. ”

Zhang Guorong was able to say this, it was likely that his psychology had already moved, Li Wenxing hurriedly interrupted him, stretched out his index finger and shook it continuously:

"This means that Rong Shao's luck is better, so I keep emphasizing timing. ”

Speaking like this, seeing that Zhang Guorong's curiosity had been completely aroused, Li Wenxing stopped selling Guanzi, took two steps back with his negative hand, and then raised his head and said:

"I play music because I am also inspired by Rong Shao. Two years ago, I heard that you started playing in a band, and I started playing music with that. In order to get ahead quickly, I even made a series of development plans for myself. It's just that the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and I became obsessed with acting again, so I changed careers and became an actor. Well, it seems like I can apply the development plan I have made for myself to you. ”

"First of all, in addition to self-practice martial arts, if you want to become a real singer, you must first have an excellent agent to help you handle all the chores of life and work. So that you can focus on being a singer, both on and off stage. ”

Secondly, the perfect character design and image building, the singer is actually two completely independent natural persons on and off stage. When you are on stage, you have to be a prodigal son, a lover, a wild boy, and a ...... All the identities that change at will according to the artistic conception of the song. And offstage, you are just yourself, and you have to be yourself. This involves the analysis of the artistic conception of the lyrics and various styling designs, including but not limited to the design and shaping of clothing, makeup, body posture, etc., which require professionals to be responsible for guiding and packaging for you. ”

"Again, like you said, a good singer has to have good songs that can show their hands. Although I have given up being a singer and turned to be an actor, I can work part-time as a lyricist and composer. In addition, I have a list of the best musicians in the Hong Kong music scene today, including several outstanding music producers who have not yet been noticed by others. With me, plus them, when it comes to songs, that's exactly the least you need to worry about. ”

"Finally, the point is also my suggestion and purpose. If you really plan to play music, be a singer, a star, or a pure singer, it is best to set up a company, or form a professional team to operate. ”

"In this team, there is at least one professional agent and assistant to help you take care of your life and work. There are two to five professional music teachers to help you better tune and discover your voice, improve your singing skills and other professional qualities. There is a stable composition and lyrics team to help you make a large number of songs of various styles and tunes, mature and immature, for you to practice on a daily basis, and at the same time select and determine the most suitable and most suitable songs for you to sing. There is a fixed royal accompaniment orchestra, so that you can cope well with the singing of various occasions, and will not have a situation where the performance level is high and low, or even singing badly. Later, you will also need a professional service team for you to go out to perform in the future, that is a later story. You also need a professional album producer, that's another story. ”

"Na, what I mean is: I invested 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, plus a stake in the operation of a team dedicated to serving Rong Shao, to establish a music club. Rong Shao is a shareholder himself, of course, he can also bring capital into the market. However, in principle, you should never hold more than 50% of the shares. To put it bluntly, although I don't want to be a singer, it would be a wonderful thing if I could personally pick up a singer. Moreover, I also work hard for the purpose of making money. So I need to maintain the absolute right to speak in the music club to avoid being overturned or deviated by you in the later stage. ”

"If, if Rong Shao is interested, we can immediately start the following negotiations on the details of cooperation, and stipulate each other's responsibilities and obligations. Like you can't run away halfway, I can't let go of this kind of constraint and so on. In short, as long as Rong Shao agrees to my proposal, as long as you give me three years, I will be fully sure that you will be the best superstar singer in Asia. Even going out of Asia and breaking into Europe and the United States is not a whimsical thing. ”

It can be said that with Li Wenxing's way of speaking and drumming hands, it is really a condescension not to do pyramid schemes.

In short, after saying this, Li Wenxing looked at Zhang Guorong with a smile on his face, waiting for the other party's answer. Putting aside all utilitarian factors, Li Wenxing in this world is very willing to Zhang Guorong to embark on his road to superstar early, instead of wading for several years. That would be a great waste not only for him, but for everyone and the world.
