On the morning of February 2, Chen Lang and Chen's father arrived in Taipei, and then returned to the headquarters of Haishan Rolling Stone Records, accompanied by Zheng Zhenkun and Duan Zhongyi
Zheng Zhenkun and Duan Zhongyi accompanied Chen Lang and Chen's father to inspect various departments of the company, especially the brokerage department and the trainee department.
After Haishan Rolling Stone Records was acquired by Chen Lang, coupled with the participation of a large number of music elites such as Luo Dayou, after two years of hard work and development, it has regained its youth and vitality.
Now the company is busy, and everyone's face is no longer numb as before.
The singers under Haishan Rolling Stone have released records one after another, and they have all received a good response from the market.
In the past two years, Haishan Rolling Stone Records has added a lot of new musical talents and other employees, and now Haishan Rolling Stone seems to be back to the glory days of the 70s.
It is worth mentioning that Li Zongsheng, the godfather of the Chinese music scene, joined Haishan Rolling Stone Records after the expiration of his contract with the original company, and is now transferred to the company's production department, engaged in behind-the-scenes work such as song writing and record supervision.
At this time, Li Zongsheng was sitting in his office chair with a frown, as if he was writing songs.
"He is Li Zongsheng, the same musical talent you mentioned last time, boss, and he does have a high talent in songwriting." Duan Zhongyi saw Chen Lang staring at Li Zongsheng and explained.
Chen Lang nodded when he heard this, he was naturally overjoyed to see Li Zongsheng Chen Lang, and now Li Zongsheng has shown his extraordinary musical talent.
But it is far from reaching the height of becoming the godfather of the Chinese music scene in later generations, there are too many classics he has created, and he has also become popular one after another in the music world, Li Zongsheng's strength is far from reaching the limit.
Coupled with Luo Dayou, another music godfather level in the company, being able to have these two people, Chen Lang naturally couldn't stop smiling.
Later, Chen Lang focused on visiting the trainee department, and when he saw the newcomers who were working hard in the dance room, Chen Lang smiled, and he was also from the newcomers.
"Trainees now have a basic salary, right?" Chen Lang asked casually.
At that time, when the company formulated the singer hierarchy system, the trainees only included food and accommodation, and later in order to attract more newcomers, the company decided to give the trainees a certain basic salary.
It allows trainees to support themselves and at the same time have more time to practice, increasing the chance of practicing talents.
Because the profits of Haishan Rolling Stone Records are very considerable, and it can even be said that they are very profitable, this little expenditure is not a problem, and it can also reflect the company's human touch.
Chen Lang just watched the newcomer at the door, everyone thought that Chen Lang wanted to see the quality of these trainees, but they didn't know that Chen Lang was looking for any future superstars in the music world.
After looking around, Chen Lang didn't find a familiar face, and he was a little disappointed, the godfather of music has gathered two, why don't there be any superstars in the music world?
Could it be that they are still young now, and the future will be different?
Seeing that Chen Lang seemed to be a little disappointed and shook his head, Zheng Zhenkun and Duan Zhongyi looked at each other, thinking that Chen Lang was not satisfied with his work, especially Zheng Zhenkun, because he was also in charge of the trainee department.
"In the past two years, the company has been increasing the recruitment of trainees while launching existing singers, and at the same time, because the company's several records have sold well, the company has regained a foothold in the music industry, and it has also attracted a lot of young people. Zheng Zhenkun explained.
Chen Lang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then asked Zheng Zhenkun to bring the company's trainee roster and rummage through them one by one, finally allowing Chen Lang to find a few familiar names, which made Chen Lang happy.
Seeing Chen Lang smiling, Zheng Zhenkun and Duan Zhongyi were finally relieved, but the two of them were very puzzled, just looking at the roster, what could they see?
is also puzzled by Chen's father, in the face of the doubts of the three people, Chen Lang smiled and said nothing, even if he said it, I am afraid that no one will believe it.
Then the four of them came to the conference room, and Zheng Zhenkun and Duan Zhongyi respectively reported their respective work and the overall situation of the company.
To sum up, after two years of development, Haishan Rolling Stone has recovered to 70% of its predecessor, Haishan Records, and already has the strength to compete head-on with Corin Records.
Of course, the company is not without difficulties, compared to Corin Records, which has been developing to this day, the number of singers of Haishan Rolling Stone Records is very small.
On the one hand, it is because a large number of singers were poached or left by themselves when Haishan was in trouble, and it is also related to the elite route of Haishan Rolling Stone Records.
For the choice of singers, there are music elites such as Zheng Zhenkun, Duan Brothers, and Luo Dayou in the lead, resulting in very few singers who can be favored.
So far, Haishan Rolling Stone Records has signed a total of four new contracts: Li Zongsheng, Lin Huiping, Zhou Huajian and Tong Ange.
Of course, trainees are not counted because they do not yet have the strength and ability to take charge on their own.
Chen Lang doesn't know whether it's right or wrong to take the elite route, anyway, each of the four newly signed people is famous.
Needless to say, Li Zongsheng is a Chinese pop superstar with album sales of 30 million, Lin Huiping is also a generation of Taiwanese singers, and Tong Ange's name Chen Lang has also heard of it.
However, with the rapid economic development of Hong Kong and Taiwan, the record market is getting bigger and bigger, especially in Taiwan, and selling 200,000 or 300,000 copies is just a passing line.
The sales of top singers are generally more than 500,000, and the smash hit superstars can even reach one million sales, and even the second- and third-tier singers can sell three or four hundred thousand copies if they are lucky.
It can be said that as long as the record is not too bad, it can make a lot of money.
At this time, whether it is Zheng Zhenkun, or the Duan brothers, or Li Zongsheng and Luo Dayou, these are all real music elites, and in their eyes, music is definitely higher than money.
If Chen Lang interferes in order to make more money, I am afraid that it will cause resistance from these people, and Chen Lang has also promised not to interfere too much in the management of the company, and Chen Lang is not so short of money.
Therefore, there is no more to say about this aspect, and everything is still as usual.
At the same time, the company's records have sold well in Taiwan, and they are also popular in Southeast Asia, but they are not selling well in Hong Kong.
This can't be helped, the mainstream in Hong Kong is Cantonese songs, and Teresa Teng is the only one who can sell Chinese songs, and Teresa Teng is not every Chinese record that can reach platinum sales.
Overall, the company has been able to earn about NT$200 million in gross profit last year.
In addition to the cost of records, publicity expenses, office expenses, and the company's expansion of the department to recruit employees, etc., it was able to make a profit of 140 million.
Excluding bank loans, there is still a net profit of 120 million, and the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the New Taiwan dollar at this time is 13. 9, that is, more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
This is when there are fewer singers in the company, and at the same time, Southeast Asian companies are not on the right track, if Southeast Asian companies can sign local singers and release records, I believe it can also bring a lot of income.
Of course, it is only 1984, and in the next few years, with the rapid economic development of Hong Kong and Taiwan, the total output value of the music market will continue to increase.
If Haishan Rolling Stone Records can continue to soar, then the profit will definitely multiply several times.
"Mr. Chen, there is something we want to discuss with you." Zheng Zhenkun saw that Chen Lang seemed to be very satisfied with the company's development, so he said with a smile.
"Something, just say." Chen Lang was a little curious.
"In the 70s, when Haishan Records dominated Taiwan, it once cooperated with Taiwan TV to hold a singer talent competition, and Cai Qin, who had just won the best newcomer in the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards, debuted from our Haishan talent competition.
It's just that Haishan later fell into a dilemma because of my poor decision-making, and this singer talent contest ended without a problem.
Now that the company has developed steadily in all aspects, one of the main tasks is to train new singers, in addition to the trainee system, I think the singer talent contest is also an excellent way to select talents.
At the same time, combined with the trainee system, I believe that it can bring more fresh blood to our company. Zheng Zhenkun said with some emotion.
"Singer Talent Contest?" Chen Lang's heart moved when he heard this, this is indeed a good way to choose materials.
In Hong Kong, Huaxing has won countless musical talents by virtue of the rookie singing contest held in cooperation with TVB, which is also the confidence of Huaxing to compete with the international giant record company Polygram in the 80s.
Chen Lang wants to select talents and hold a rookie singer contest after the establishment of LL Records, but this needs the support of the TV station.
In Hong Kong, in addition to TVB, there is only ATV, and if I do not renew the contract with Huaxing, I will definitely not be able to cooperate with TVB, so I can only choose ATV.
But there are too many record companies that want to cooperate with ATV, and LL records has not yet been established, so it has been delayed.
However, in Taiwan, Haishan and Taiwan Television have a good cooperative relationship in the past, and it seems that they can take advantage of this to hold a new singer competition to select musical talents.
Thinking of this, Chen Lang was also overjoyed, Zheng Zhenkun didn't say why he didn't think of it.
However, Hong Kong's ATV must also strive for cooperation, so that it can send talents to the company from all over the world.
There are too many superstars in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and at the same time, there are countless singers in Southeast Asia who have made a name for themselves in the Chinese music scene in the future, so Southeast Asia cannot give up.
So should South Korea and Japan also be included? However, language seems to be the biggest obstacle, so it's better to give up for now.
In this case, it is necessary to cooperate with TV stations in Taiwan, Hong Kong and other Southeast Asian countries, which is a big project.
At the same time, there is a wireless rookie singing contest in Hong Kong, and Taiwan also has a talent contest for Corin Records, and if you want to compete for newcomer resources from them, you must expand the popularity and influence of the talent show, which requires creating a high-profile singer talent show.
Thinking of this, Chen Lang instantly remembered Super Girl and The Voice of China, two large-scale singer talent shows that are popular in China.
However, the selection of super girls is a bit one-sided with only female singers, and there is not much novelty, only PK is impressive, and the most important point is that Chen Lang doesn't like super girls very much, and he still prefers the voice of China.
What would happen if this popular show was replicated in 1984 to the present?
In the 80s, when the music market is about to enter its peak and the music scene is full of superstars, what kind of dazzling sparks will be sparked when the two meet?
At the same time, in Chen Lang's vision, this is to cover Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, these popular areas of Chinese music in addition to the mainland, this will definitely be a grand event of Chinese music in Asia!
