Chapter 52 Xiangjiang Song Circle

I don't know what the reason is, the last version broadcast by Central TV did not delete Chen Tianliao's words, but broadcast them as they were. And Chen Tianliao's arrogant words also spread all over the country. However, looking at his performance on live TV, everyone was also speechless. The songs he wrote have topped the singles chart nine times for a total of 150 weeks, with a total sales of more than 10 million singles, and he has created three platinum albums and three gold albums. His video game company only released two games, but both of them were million-selling titles. The record launched in Huaguo, Huang Gaozhi's record is the first all-original pop song cassette in Huaguo, and Liu Xia's Northwest Wind is known as a classic of national pop music, and Song Shiqing's cassette is even more difficult to find, and the people who can't buy the cassette are out of stock in order to rip her songs. It shouldn't be an exaggeration for such a person to brag about such a bull, right?

Chen Tianliao ignored the discussion of the outside world and still went to school as usual. The difference is that he hired a driver to take him to school. The driver was found by Chen Aiguo, and the reliability is needless to say. It's not for the sake of posing, it's for convenience and safety.

Two months later, the handheld game Pokemon was released in the country of Wa. The excellent quality of the game itself and the addition of Chen Tianliao's fame made this game enter the ranks of hot sellers immediately after a slightly hot first day of release. There were several times when it was out of stock.

What is even more unexpected for industry insiders is that this game eventually drove the sales of the handheld, helping the Serutian handheld to increase the sales of hundreds of thousands. The online swapping wizard system, which appeared for the first time in the handheld, was even more popular with game fans. Shirutian Company was very jealous and proposed to Chen Tianliao to acquire the game, but Chen Tianliao categorically refused.

Are you kidding. In the previous life, not long after the launch of this game, Nintendo used it to red, green, green and yellow, of which red, green and green are basically the same game, but there are some differences in the types of elves, only yellow is still innovative, but in this way, the four-color games are all on sale, so that Nintendo has made a lot of money. Even if you don't log in to the handheld, Pokemon will always be an important part of the development of software like Penguin in the future, which can attract a large number of users to join. Therefore, such a core thing, Chen Tianliao must grasp it in his own hands no matter what.

When Pokemon was still selling well, Chen Tianliao instructed the handheld department to continue to develop its sequel, while the console department continued the development of "Three Kingdoms", followed by the sequel to "Bomberman". At the same time, another masterpiece of Nintendo in the previous life, "The Legend of Zelda", was also put on the agenda. This is all in the hands of Takekawa. Takekawa has recently fallen out of love, and in her career, she has made a lot of money because of the dividends of Pokemon, which has prompted her to turn her life focus to work.

As for the record company, in early November, Fang Yan returned to the capital from Xiangjiang and reported on the overall progress of the branch. Su Wenhai has already set up a branch in Yangcheng and looked for two singers, but the progress of setting up a branch in Xiangjiang was not smooth, and he was squeezed out by local forces, especially when he was once approached by the underworld. What made Su Wenhai even more speechless was that he couldn't find any decent professionals in Xiangjiang! Even if they gave Xiangjiang professionals twice their salaries, they were unwilling to join. In their eyes, the mainland has always been synonymous with backwardness, and entering a mainland company is a "loss of face" (meaning to lower one's status). In the end, after listening to Su Wenhai's report, Chen Tianliao instructed Su Wenhai to temporarily retreat to Yangcheng. This time, Fang Yan brought Su Wenhai's detailed report and brought the demos of the two singers.

Chen Tianliao once again watched Su Wenhai's detailed report on the information of the Xiangjiang music scene. The development of the Xiangjiang music scene in this world is roughly the same as that of the Xiangjiang music scene in another time and space. Beginning in the 50s, it was a group of mainland literary and artistic figures who had taken refuge in Xiangjiang who played the leading role, especially those who had escaped from the Shili Foreign Field. Since the 70s, with the development of education, local singers in Hong Kong have entered an active period, and they have begun to create a large number of localized songs, and have won the support of Hong Kong citizens.

In another time and space, if there is only one god of song in Xiangjiang, there will be two answers. Non-Xiangjiang people will say Jacky Cheung, and Xiangjiang people will say that it is Xu Guanjie (A SAM). Most of Jacky Cheung's songs are covers of Japanese songs, and the melodies are more popular, so that people all over the country like them, while Xu Guanjie sings songs that belong to the small citizens of the city of Xiangjiang, singing about their daily life, their tastes and pursuits, and singing their spirit. Maybe people in other cities can't appreciate it, but the people of Xiangjiang have imprinted these songs deeply in their souls. In this time and space,The prosperity of the Xiangjiang music scene,It also began with the generation and development of small citizen songs,Guan Haojie is an outstanding representative of the small citizen singers in Xiangjiang。

It's a pity that there are too few of these people, and sometimes they give up their style in order to cater to the mood and taste of the small citizens (such as the combination of soft and hard heavenly masters in another time and space), so the road is getting narrower and narrower, and there are fewer and fewer talented people.

With the economic development of Hong Kong in the late 70s and early 80s, a large number of talented pop music creators emerged, and the pop music of Hong Kong also developed rapidly. During this period, the music scene in Hong Kong was particularly prosperous. In this world,Luo Zheng, who is at the same time as Guan Haojie, is a musician who sings and writes well,And singer Lin Wensheng、Xu Yuzhu and others are also famous with the support of a strong creative team。

In the mid-80s of this world, there are still a number of outstanding singers, such as Mo Rulong, Li Jiajun, etc. Hong Kong's music creators are also in full swing. However, due to the rapid economic development of Xiangjiang at this time, Xiangjiang people also have more demand for songs, and have higher requirements for the quality of songs. The number of Hong Kong musicians began to fail to keep up with the needs of ordinary people. At the same time, because of the prosperity of the entertainment industry, it has attracted a large number of capital to intervene, and capital has a natural instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they do not want to take the risk of discovering new talents (in fact, the education in Xiangjiang at that time was still relatively backward, and whether new talents can be discovered is still a question). As a result, a large number of works using foreign songs, mainly Japanese songs, began to appear in batches with Cantonese lyrics.

The advantages of using ready-made songs are obviously many, one is that they have been tested by the market and the risk is lower, the second is that the cost will be less, the third is that there is no need to be afraid of the uneven quality of the songs, and the fourth is that the production cycle of the songs can be greatly shortened...... As for the disadvantages, there is only one, that is, it is not conducive to the growth of new creators. But Heung Kong's existing creative team is already so strong that the long-term plans are not in the minds of the capitalists. Even, if there are no new songs, it's better to buy them. From the United States to the Japanese to Europe, and even to Latin America, there are so many excellent songs waiting for you!

By the end of the 80s, the already relatively weak creative team of Xiangjiang almost all of them were defeated, and a large number of foreign songs were covered. This is not a hidden worry, what is more worrying is that the singing talent of the new generation of singers is also declining. is like the four heavenly kings of Xiangjiang in the previous life, and the one who can handle the singing function is a Jacky Cheung. Before the Four Heavenly Kings, Alan Tam, Lin Zixiang, Anita Mui, Luo Wen...... There are a lot of powerful singers. The same is true of this time and space, and there are signs of disconnection of powerful singers. Although due to the inertia of history, as well as the backwardness of the mainland, the rise of the treasure island still needs time, Xiangjiang still has a few glorious years, and this problem did not seem to be a problem to people at that time.

Corresponding to this is the rise of the Treasure Island singers. I have to say that the education level of Baodao, especially the elite education level, is originally higher than that of Xiangjiang. After the political factors that imprisoned literary and artistic creation were lifted and the economy began to develop, the singers of Baodao began to blow out. Like another time and space, the same cross-generation singers in the eighties and nineties, Luo Dayou, Qi Qin, Wang Jie, Tong Ange, etc. of Baodao beat the four kings of Xiangjiang in the same period except for Jacky Cheung in terms of singing skills, and they are even more ...... in creative talent In other words, the Four Heavenly Kings have creative talents? It's just that because of business, politics, and other factors, they are not as well-known as the Four Heavenly Kings on the mainland. The same is true for the music scene of this treasure island of time and space for the music scene of Hong Kong.

But at this time, there are still many favorable factors in the Xiangjiang music scene, otherwise Chen Tianliao would not have thought of opening a new company in Xiangjiang. In addition to the risk aversion factor, Chen Tianliao wants to break into the music scene in Xiangjiang for several considerations.

The first is the authoring environment. Creation in Hong Kong will be more free than in the mainland.

The second is musical talent. Of course, at this time, those creative masters in Xiangjiang have close cooperation with fixed companies, and it is more difficult to get involved by themselves. And most of them are at or past the peak of creation, which can only represent the present and the past, but hardly the future. Compared with them, Chen Tianliao is more coveted by various professionals such as soundtrack, recording, and post-production in Xiangjiang. This kind of talent is what the mainland lacks the most. Of course, these talents need to be controlled under their own command, and they cannot be allowed to be independent. Otherwise, he would rather pay a higher price to get the Japanese experts back.

Finally, there is Hong Kong's international environment. Compared with the restrictions on various cultural undertakings in the mainland, Hong Kong is more easily integrated with the mainstream of international capital and international cultural circles, and has a huge market that is different from that of the mainland. In his previous life, Chen Tianliao looked down on the guys who would only fight in the nest under the national cultural protection policy. In the early days of reform, there were many excellent films that were either down-to-earth or had huge literary and social value, but in the new century, Huaguo's films have become like birds, and even the later stick movies can ride on Huaguo's head and scatter wild. And Xiangjiang can stay away from those smoky things and be self-contained.

Therefore, whether it is considering the factors of avoiding certain uncertain risks in the mainland, or as an important piece of the puzzle for future development, Xiangjiang is a market that Chen Tianliao must enter. The temporary defeat could not dispel Chen Tianliao's thoughts. However, his approach will be a little more tactful.

"Are you saying that this Mr. Lin wants to cooperate with me?" Chen Tianliao took a sip of green tea and asked Fang Yan.

"Yes, but he is not willing to set up a joint venture with us, he is only willing to pay for the copyright of the little boss's song in the country, take it back and fill in the Cantonese lyrics, and have it covered by their singer. Fang Yan said.

Chen Tianliao laughed "sneering" and said: "That's it, I just want to buy other people's songs." A businessman in a small place is a businessman in a small place, and his vision is still so short-sighted!"

Fang Yan was puzzled: "Little boss, you are wrong, Xiangjiang is not a small place, it is an international metropolis, a hundred times more prosperous than our capital!"

Chen Tianliao smiled: "Sister Yan, the size of the place depends on people's thoughts, not on the prosperity of the city. The people of Xiangjiang have money, and their eyes are always on their own one-third of an acre, and they have all left Xiangjiang to start a business, work and settle in Western countries, and those who stay are not optimistic. The capital is different, although the place is very small, but there are still many people who cherish the motherland and look at the world. Although this is a bit of a foreign flattery in the world, we are really trying our best to learn foreign knowledge and strengthen ourselves. ”

Fang Yan didn't seem to understand. In front of Chen Tianliao, the ages of the two seem to be reversed, Chen Tianliao is more like the older one, and Fang Yan is more like a little girl who doesn't understand a lot of things. But she doesn't need to know so much, she just needs to do what Chen Tianliao said.

"You can help me make an appointment with Mr. Lin to come to the capital for a meeting, and tell him that I have the sincerity to sell songs, and the price is negotiable. Chen Tianliao also returned to the topic, "Let me get in touch with these Xiangjiang people first, and see their catties." ”

"Okay, little boss!" Fang Yan agreed.

"Also, Sister Yan, I will take two little girls to learn art with you in two days. In the future, your work will be shared by them. I've decided to let you take charge of yourself and be the deputy general manager of the record company. I give you a 1% option. Chen Tianliao said.

"Ah, I can't do it!" Fang Yan was taken aback and hurriedly excused herself.

Chen Tianliao said with a smile: "Have you ever seen someone I use can't do it? No, don't shirk it, I know your ability better than you." It's also a reward for your previous good work. ”

Fang Yan only believed that this was true at this time, and nodded happily and said, "Thank you, little boss, thank you, little boss!"
