Chapter 57 Xiangjiang Singer
On the third day, the two beauties continued to go shopping in the company of Su Wenhai. Shopping will always have a fatal attraction for women, not to mention that they are in the shopping capital.
Chen Tianliao stayed in the piano room of Dahong Company, which had already been contacted, and practiced seriously. Tokunaga's team is coming, and he can't show his timidity.
On the fourth day, Tokunaga finally arrived with his team. Also arriving at the same time was Takekawa.
"Thank you Deyongsang for coming to Xiangjiang to rehearse with me so early, thank you. Chen Tianliao thanked Deyong.
Deyong happily hugged Chen Tianliao and said, "Being able to cooperate with Liao Jiang is one of the wisest decisions in my life. Liao Jiang is willing to come to my concert, of course I have to come to rehearse early. This is your first time performing at a concert, right?" Tokunaga smiled very happily, feeling that it was happier than the first time he had ever gotten a beautiful woman.
As soon as this metaphor popped up in his mind, Chen Tianliao shuddered, turned to Zhuchuan and said, "Why are you here too?"
Zhuchuan tilted his head mischievously and said, "Liao sauce, don't forget that I'm still your agent in the Wa Kingdom!"
Chen Tianliao thought about it, there was really such a thing. It's just that he hasn't participated in many activities in the Wa country, so he often forgets about this stubble.
Deyong said to Chen Tianliao: "Liao sauce, we don't have a lot of time, let's start the rehearsal of the two of us now." β
Chen Tianliao was taken aback: "Rehearse now?
Deyong smiled: "Don't underestimate Liao sauce, I'm not old yet!"
Chen Tianliao looked at Deyong, who was in his forties, and nodded admiringly.
At this age, he can still be able to call the wind and rain in the national anthem scene, and his professional level and professionalism are generally top-notch. Chen Tianliao also followed Deyong to start rehearsals. Thanks to the fact that he has not pulled down the piano lessons all these years, he also asked Gao Yuan for advice. Of course, because he has been distracted by too many things over the years, and his improvement is limited. When playing with the pianist of Tokunaga's royal band, the gap was immediately revealed. Chen Tianliao laughed self-deprecatingly: "Forget it, I still don't offer ugliness." β
Tokunaga said: "It's okay, in fact, your piano skills are not bad, but there are still some problems in the details." I guess Takahara-san didn't give you instructions on performance skills. Let Miura give you another instruction on the technique of playing on stage, and the effect should be about the same, plus your age, so there is nothing unacceptable. β
The last comforting words added by Deyong completely hit Chen Tianliao's confidence. He decided that he would only sing and not play the piano, and he would not play to death. Deyong is no longer reluctant. However, he was impressed by Chen Tianliao's strength. This co-author doesn't want to be in the company of his peers, and everything is bound by the excellent standards of adults.
When Chen Tianliao arrived at the rehearsal venue the next day, eight guests from Deyong's two concerts were also present. Among these people are Guan Haojie, the king of Xiangjiang in the same era of Deyong, Lin Wensheng and Xu Yuzhu a little later, Mo Rulong and Li Jiajun who have just entered a semi-retired state, and emerging singers Lu Daquan , Mai Jiale , Lu Zhen, it can be said that the three generations of the old, middle and young people in the Xiangjiang music scene are in the same house.
When he saw Chen Tianliao, Deyong was very happy, and enthusiastically wanted Chen Tianliao to say hello: "Today, ιΌγ‘γγ!" Chen Tianliao also responded in Japanese. Deyong said: "Come, these singers in Xiangjiang, let me introduce you to you!"
Chen Tianliao smiled: "No need. Many of the songs of Xiangjiang singers have now spread to the mainland, and many people know their big names. I'm no exception. β
Speaking of this, Chen Tianliao said to the Xiangjiang singers in Mandarin: "Hello everyone, I am Chen Tianliao from the capital, a guest of Deyongsang's concert. It's a pleasure to meet everyone!" It's not that he doesn't want to follow the local customs and communicate with everyone in Cantonese, but the problem is that in his previous life, even if he lived in Yangcheng for so long, he spoke Cantonese awkwardly. In this life, his dialect is Hakka dialect similar to the Cantonese system, and this dialect is also known as "Tuling Donghua" in his hometown, but the difference between it and Cantonese in terms of pronunciation is still quite big. So he simply greeted him in Mandarin.
"Hello!" "Hello!" A group of Xiangjiang singers glanced at each other and greeted Chen Tianliao in various awkward Cantonese Mandarin one after another. Most of them didn't know who Chen Tianliao was.
Lu Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up, clapped her hands, and said in Cantonese: "Chen Tianliao, is it the genius boy who was very famous in the Wa Kingdom a while ago?" Most of them knew that there was a Chinese genius boy in the Japanese country, but because there was no intersection, they slowly forgot about it. As soon as Lu Zhen mentioned this, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Tianliao.
Chen Tianliao smiled and said in Mandarin: "If there is no second genius boy in the Wa Kingdom, it should be me." β
All the singers in Xiangjiang were amazed. Lu Zhen's eyes lit up even more, and she said in very awkward Mandarin: "Brother Xiaosong (brother), Lei (you) can understand Baifa (vernacular, that is, Cantonese)?"
Chen Tianliao nodded and said, "Yes, so Miss Lu, you'd better be able to speak in the vernacular, so it's good for everyone!"
"Hahahaha......" Mo Rulong, whose status was second only to Guan Haojie, laughed loudly: "Jenny (Lu Zhen's English name),I said a long time ago, you don't speak Mandarin casually!"
Lu Zhen's face flushed, and then she returned to normal, and said, "Why don't you speak Mandarin Brother Mo?" I heard that you have been making up Mandarin for exchanges in the mainland these days. β
Mo Rulong immediately closed his mouth and shook his hand again and again.
Chen Tianliao just smiled and didn't speak. In this era, Xiangjiang singers, unless they moved from the mainland, or the previous generation moved from non-Cantonese-speaking areas of the mainland, Mandarin is not good. This will have to wait until the mainland market becomes bigger in later generations, and most singers will learn Mandarin hard for the sake of the market.
Guan Haojie looked at Chen Tianliao,sighed:"I have long heard that there is such a Chinese genius boy in the Japanese country,He has become a first-line creator in the Japanese music scene,When I saw it with my own eyes,I didn't expect it to be so big,It's really emotional!"
Chen Tianliao bowed very politely and said, "Thank you for the compliment." β
Guan Haojie said:"You're welcome,You deserve all the praiseγ Are you planning to go to Hong Kong this time?"
"Yes, I want to set up an entertainment company in Heung Kong, and it will be an entertainment company for the mainland market. β
When the singers in Xiangjiang heard this, they immediately became interested. Xiangjiang's music scene is almost saturated, and it is mainly digested internally. Their second largest market is Treasure Island and the Chinese community in Southeast Asia. As for the mainland market, it cannot be compared with the Japanese market and the Korean market. First, the difference in dialect makes it difficult for their songs to spread outside the Xijiang Delta. Second, piracy in the mainland is too powerful, especially the recording function of the current tape recorder can be powerful, and songs can be recorded at will. Therefore, the record companies in Hong Kong are actually ignoring the mainland market.
Chen Tianliao is well aware of the particularities of the mainland market. With the rise of pirates, the production of albums on the mainland is slowly turning into losing money. In the last time and space, the Yangcheng music scene fell into an embarrassment because of this, and then collapsed by the impact of Xiangjiang and Baodao music. So Chen Tianliao's mentality was very good from the beginning, the so-called songs are actually external signboards, tools to help singers become popular, and the company's real assets are singers, and singers' performances, endorsements, announcements, etc. are the source of income. This is also the reason why domestic record companies in later generations have stricter contract requirements for singers, because at that time, the packaging of singers has become one of the most important jobs of record companies. Who wants to lose someone who spends a lot of resources on packaging?
In Tianliao Records, Chen Tianliao's investment in talent scouts in the A and R department is not high, and he invests more energy in the deep cultivation of existing artists, which is the reason. He doesn't ask too many newcomers to compete, but he asks all his singers to be independent in the future. A few singers with a good personal image are definitely more popular than a group of singers with a public face. This is the source of Chen Tianliao's idea of star-making. At the same time, only after cultivating good singers, can music be better performed.
At this time,Guan Haojie asked:"The mainland market of records...... Is there a record market in the mainland?"
Chen Tianliao said: "There are still any, and they can flourish for about five or six years." β
Lu Zhen smiled: "How can you prosper for five or six years?"
Chen Tianliao said: "This is our company's trade secret. β
Guan Haojie asked again,But your market is in the mainland,Why did you come to Xiangjiang to open a company?"
Chen Tianliao smiled bitterly: "Because Xiangjiang has its own unique advantages in the cultural market, I have to apply them, and then complement the companies in the mainland." β
Guan Haojie nodded knowingly,Didn't speak againγ But Mak Ka Lok laughed: "You are right to choose Xiangjiang." Welcome to the free world!"
Chen Tianliao turned to McJiale and shook his head. The free world? That's just a child's mind. While talking to the Xiangjiang singers, he has observed the words and deeds of the Xiangjiang singers, and determined that those people need more contact, those people only need to maintain ordinary relationships, and those people don't need to have any relationships. This reckless and proud McCarlet belongs to the list of people who don't need to have any connections.
At this time, Tokunaga's agent stood up and said, "Everyone, please come here now, I want to get together with everyone and get acquainted with each other." In the future, please take care of Deyong Sang Duo in the Chinese market!"
When everyone heard this, they all expressed their support for Tokunaga while humbling themselves. Chen Tianliao also smiled and nodded. He doesn't need to be humble, and he doesn't want to be humble. For his status in the Japanese music scene, he just needs to remain reserved. Although Qiu Deyong was not reserved enough to pull him at the concert this time, it is normal to face an unfamiliar market after all.
