Lu Guozhan and Li Xiaotian both frowned tightly, thinking about how to change the situation of fewer original music and more cover songs.

After a moment, both of them shook their heads and sighed. They couldn't think of anything they could do to change that.

Businessmen are profit-seeking by nature, and it's too hard to get a record company to change their minds.

Immediately, both of them looked at Wu Ming blankly, since this matter was brought up by Wu Ming, then he should have a way. The two of them who have no choice can only hope that Wu Ming has a solution.

When Wu Ming saw the two of them like this, he also smiled, and then there was a lot of admiration in his heart.

These are all masters who focus on music creation!

Wu Ming looked at the two of them and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, two teachers, I just want to make a little contribution to the original music of the Chinese music scene, so I will establish Starlight Records."

I don't care what other record companies do, but Starlight Records will definitely advocate and support original music, and carry the banner of revival of Chinese original music in the future. ”

When Lu Guozhan and Li Xiaotian heard this, their eyes lit up.

Lu Guozhen asked eagerly, "Really?"

Two years later, Lu Guozhen was tired of writing a large number of lyrics on the theme of love between men and women for a long time because he was tired of writing a large number of lyrics on the theme of love between men and women for a long time, and launched the "Non-Love Song Movement", calling on musicians to create songs with more themes, including inspiration, life philosophy, family affection, social current affairs and current affairs, popular phenomena, world events and other fields.

It's a pity that because of market taste and commercial principles, the "non-love song movement" did not achieve much success, and finally ended without a problem.

But it is enough to prove that Lu Guozhen is still very enthusiastic about promoting original music.

Wu Ming's lips raised slightly, and he nodded affirmatively.

"I think there are many ways to make money, for example, my Xingchen Entertainment game company can make a profit of five or six billion US dollars a year, and I don't care about the record company's profit of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars a year. ”

Everyone nodded.

Isn't it, the entire record industry in Xiangjiang makes tens of millions of dollars a year, which is much worse than the profits of game companies. It's no wonder that Wu Ming can't look at it.

"I wonder how much the two teachers can sell for a song?" Wu Ming asked with a light smile.

Lu Guozhan replied: "I usually write lyrics for about 10,000 Hong Kong dollars per song. ”

Li Xiaotian also replied: "I, like Lao Lu, is also about 10,000 Hong Kong dollars for a song. ”

Wu Ming stretched out five fingers, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and said with a smile: "From then on, the price of a song by the two teachers is 50,000 Hong Kong dollars." ”

Li Xiaotian's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Really?!"

Wu Ming said with a smile: "Naturally, it's true, and with the development of the company, this price may go up." Other music creators who join our company may not get the same price as the two teachers, but they will also pay a lot more than before.

In the future, the profits of the record company will be used to develop original Chinese music. In this way, even if other record companies don't pay attention to original music, with our Starlight Records, original music will not decline.

Solving the problem of musicians' remuneration, everyone has no worries and is more motivated to stick to original music. ”

A lot of times, it's not that musicians don't want to stick to original music. However, the embarrassing living situation forced them to give up their ideals and succumb to reality.

Lu Guozhan nodded in agreement: "Indeed, if you can still make money by making original music, even if you earn less, many musicians will still stick to it." ”

Li Xiaotian interjected with a smile: "Not to mention the boss, you are paying more than before!"

In the past life, many musicians couldn't make money at all, and they always insisted on original music.

In this life, with Wu Ming's support, there will be fewer people who insist on it without reason than in the previous life.

Wu Ming pondered for a while and asked, "I don't know what the relationship between the two teachers and Mr. Gu Jiahui and Mr. Huang Zhan is?"

Although Lu Guozhan and Li Xiaotian are both music masters, they are still a little weak with the strength of the two of them.

So Wu Ming hit the idea to another pair of golden partners in the Xiangjiang music scene, Gu Jiahui and Huang Zhan.

Li Xiaotian blinked, although he was a little puzzled, but still replied: "Because we are also obsessed with music creation, our relationship is still quite good." ”

Wu Ming smiled slightly and said: "That's good, I want to ask the two teachers to come forward and invite Gu Jiahui and Huang Zhan to join us Starlight Records and promote original music together, after all, there is a lot of power in numbers!"

Li Xiaotian said with a smile: "I think the boss is worried that just the two of us can't carry the banner of original music!"

Immediately, he said with a straight face: "Boss, your opinion is exactly what I want, even if you don't say it, I want to bring Gu Sheng and Huang Sheng in." Presumably, after listening to your boss's analysis, the two of them will also be very willing to take a hand in promoting the cause of original music. In addition to them, we will also invite other musicians from Hong Kong!"

When Wu Ming heard this, he smiled lightly: "That's good, everyone is united and work together to break the gold." Our original music can definitely be developed!"

As a later generation, Wu Ming is very aware of the situation of the Chinese music scene in the future.

The more time passes, the more the Chinese music scene declines. There are fewer and fewer good Chinese songs, and Chinese people are more and more inclined to listen to European and American pop songs.

And this bane can be said to have been planted during the boom of Chinese music.

Because the development of pop music in the mainland was relatively late, before the new century, the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene almost represented the Chinese music scene.

As we all know, the 80s and 90s were the most prosperous period of Hong Kong and Taiwan music, and the four kings represented by Liu Dehua and Zhang Xueyou swept Asia.

But the original power of Xiangjiang is not so strong at all.

At that time, more than 70% of the Cantonese songs on the market were cover songs, plagiarized songs, and adapted songs, of which the first two accounted for a relatively high proportion.

The singer is happy to cover the songs of the island country, because this is guaranteed, as long as the singer himself is not too bad, he can cover the two songs casually. And record companies like to cover songs because it costs less.

Such an environment forced Beyond, who insisted on originality, to go away to RB.

On the other hand, Wanwan, which seems to be more respectful of originality, is also popular, and a large number of works are derived from covers of songs from island countries. A large number of works by pop singers such as Teresa Teng and Liu Weiying are like this.

In later generations, some people joked that Miyuki Nakajima of the island country supported half of the Chinese music scene alone. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it can also be seen in the tube. At that time, there were too many cover songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

If the music scene of the island country continues to prosper, Hong Kong and Taiwan singers can naturally continue to cover it. Anyway, they don't care if the song is original or not, as long as it can be popular, whatever they want.

It's just that after the new century, Japanese songs have changed a lot, and there is no longer that kind of classic melody, they are all children's idols, singing saliva songs, and Hong Kong and Taiwan singers have not turned over, and they have withered.

Later, the Chinese music scene was even broken by a small country like South Korea, and was ridiculed by countless people.

In order to change this future and prevent such humiliating things from happening again in his previous life, Wu Mingcai made up his mind to support Chinese original music.
