Chapter 071: The First Day of Work (Part II)

When Cheng Weiliang and Teddy Robin were chatting hotly, Zheng Donghan came over, put his arm on his old friend's shoulder, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, Robin! You still have a record contract in Polygram, and you can just run to play a movie halfway, but don't come and dig into my corner! If you kidnap him, I'll not be done with you!"

Everyone laughed for a while and began to get to the point. www.biquge.info Several middle and high-level personalities such as Cheng Weiliang and Zheng Donghan went to the conference room to hold a special meeting.

Although after a few days of police raids, the number of pirated music tapes in the market has decreased, but if PolyGram does not publish Cheng Weiliang's genuine records as soon as possible, it will still be unable to stop the market demand from fans.

Time was urgent, and after some discussion, Polygram decided that within two months, it must be completed and the first album record must be released. The first album contains a total of 12 songs, of which six of Cheng Weiliang's original famous songs are the title songs, and the other six ordinary songs are selected from the company's song library.

However, before releasing the first album, Zheng Donghan planned to pick three songs out to make a small disc, and let Lu Dongni and Ao Jinbao arrange the music urgently, and record it within two weeks to meet the urgent needs of fans as soon as possible. At the same time, it was also taken to the radio station to hit the charts and promote the release of the album in the future.

Tan Yonglin's album "Late Spring" released in April has a good market, so far, has won good results in platinum sales, the single "Late Spring" in the album and the movie song "Young Master Weiwei" have achieved good results, and a few weeks after being on the Dragon and Tiger list, it has won the weekly champion of the Chinese song Dragon and Tiger List.

There are not many strong new songs on the Dragon and Tiger list during this time, and Ye Dexian's "Tired" stands out a little, if PolyGram can produce Cheng Weiliang's popular songs to hit the charts as soon as possible, it should be able to occupy the top ten positions on the charts in the first week. Then in the third and fourth weeks of the leaderboard, you will be crowned the champion of the week, and you will achieve your goal! If you can go one step further and reach the top in the second week, then the results will be great!

After leaving Xu Guanjie and Guan Zhengjie, the company urgently needs to come up with some achievements to prove that Polygram is still the boss of the industry. In view of the strong challenge of the rival Huaxing Records in recent years, the rookie singing contest jointly launched by the opponent and TVB has attracted countless potential newcomers, so Polygram also plans to hold an amateur singing contest in District 18 next year to supplement some potential newcomers.

Zhang Xueyou, one of the four kings of later generations, won the championship in one fell swoop after participating in the first singing contest held by Polygram in 1984 and became a signed singer of Polygram Records, which led to Zhang Xueyou's later brilliant singing career.

In this life, Polygram unexpectedly recruited Cheng Weiliang, a new force in the music scene, and naturally wanted to reuse it. However, because of the twenty-two songs he sang, the style was divided into several genres. There are love songs, there are non-love songs, there are rock style, pop, folk songs, there are fresh and timeless styles, there are lovelorn sadness, there are passionate and inspirational, there are unrestrained enthusiasm, and so on.

At this time, Cheng Weiliang was facing the microphone in the company's recording studio, and Zheng Donghan and another senior executive of the company were standing next to him, as well as an arranger. Cheng Weiliang sang the 22 songs he had sung before one by one, and asked the veteran musicians to listen to them live to decide which songs were suitable for the first disc that was about to enter the production process.

The company's top management can't completely agree on which songs to choose first to take the lead.

Taiwanese folk songs were all the rage when they came to Xiangjiang a few years ago, and songs of this style were easily accepted by ordinary citizens in Xiangjiang, and at the same time, they were also easily favored by the radio judges and received high ratings! These two songs in the style of campus folk songs are excellent enough, and they will certainly achieve excellent results if they are chosen to take the lead.

From the perspective of the market audience, market-oriented people believe that choosing the most representative urban love songs "Special Love for Special You" and "Single Love Song", or "Run", which are the most representative of all classes, is the safest first choice.

In addition, some people feel that Cheng Weiliang, an upstart in the music scene, should focus on highlighting the distinctive style of his works, and should first create his exclusive logo. Therefore, you should choose "Love When You Die" and "Cao Cao", or "The Funeral of the Rose" and "Why not", which are distinct and refreshing songs.

Finally, some people said that Cheng Weiliang's songs are extremely popular among female fans, so it is better to choose "Later" and "Offering of Love", which are highly supported by female listeners, or the inspirational song "The First Dream".

Opinions are numerous, all parties are arguing, and they are holding each other.

After taking out the cassette and listening to it over and over again, Cheng decided to keep the basics and highlight the unique aspects of Shing Wai Leung's style, which is very different from the current HK Phil.

The market's proposal prevailed, and Zheng Donghan finally made a decision, choosing the song "Special Love for Special You", which has a dynamic melody and proved to be a popular one, and "Cao Cao", a song with a unique style, which is eye-catching from the style to the lyrics, plus a song that caters to the tastes of female fans and has an equally beautiful melody "Offering of Love", a total of three songs.

"Later" PK "Offering of Love" failed because "Offering of Love" is not only particularly popular with female fans, but also many male fans.

"Run" PK "Special Love for Special You" failed, although the two songs are also dynamic songs, but the latter is more simple and easy to remember in lyrics, and it is easy to be widely sung by the general public.

The choice of "Cao Cao" instead of "Love When You Die" is a modern song with rock elements, but "Cao Cao" is relatively speaking, the lyrics narrate the traditional Three Kingdoms story that is a household name in China, and the traditional folk tales are interpreted with modern pop music, which is both fresh and traditional, and it is definitely more popular with citizens of all ages.

"Love When You Die", the rock element is stronger, and the ears of the citizens of Xiangjiang in this era are not very affected by the somewhat "noisy" rock music. This song "Love When You Die" is eye-catching, but no matter from the singer's roaring singing voice or the content of the lyrics, the song style is too distinct and too extreme!

The songs selected to take the lead, Zheng Donghan, in principle, are still based on safety.

After selecting the songs, two senior musicians, Lu Dongni and O' Jinbao, urgently arranged the music for the three songs.

Cheng Weiliang's main task in the near future is to take lessons with a professional vocal training teacher every morning to help him improve his singing skills and improve some minor problems in vocal pronunciation.

In the afternoon, they will arrange music with Lutony, or learn basic etiquette from professional teachers, as well as skills training on how celebrities deal with the media and the public. It will not be until the next stage that the company will train him in stage and dance.
