Chapter 207: Campus Fun
Chen Lang and Chen's father were stunned when they heard Chen Shufen's words, it turned out that neither of them thought of the exchange ratio between Hong Kong dollars and Taiwan dollars, so Chen Lang's entire net worth seemed to be hundreds of millions of Taiwan dollars.
Chen Lang suddenly laughed, thinking that his funds were stretched, but he didn't expect that there was still a lot of surplus, although he couldn't repay the debt directly, but he could repay part of it, so that the pressure on the company would be much less.
It's only 1982 now, the prelude to the golden heyday of Hong Kong's entertainment has not yet been fully opened, the record industry is only beginning to prosper, and movies are also in the ascendant, the highest box office of this year's film is "Best Partner" in Xinyi City, with a box office of more than 26 million Hong Kong dollars, which is the first film to break through 20 million, but this can only be regarded as a good box office in the mid-to-late eighties and early nineties, and everything has not yet reached its peak.
The various capital predators in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia have not yet opened their fangs to compete for the big cake of Hong Kong entertainment, so now is the last chance for Chen Lang, who has thin financial resources, to seize the opportunity, and when the mid-to-late 80s, all kinds of capital poured into Hong Kong, but I am afraid that Chen Lang's tens of millions of family assets are not enough for the investment cost of other people's films.
This is the biggest advantage of having a golden finger, being able to seize the opportunity, staking the ground, the first to be strong, and the last to suffer.
Chen Lang also knew that the 80s and early 90s were a prosperous period for the Hong Kong record market, and the profits of the record market were amazing, definitely not weaker than the huge profits brought by movies.
Chen's father and Chen Shufen only thought that Chen Lang was happy knowing that he was already a billionaire and didn't think much about it.
Chen Lang laughed for a long time and thought that it was still too early, everything was empty talk before winning these two record companies, and it was better to seize the time, so as not to bring endless trouble to his acquisition after the release of "Zhihu Ye" by Rolling Stone.
"Sister Chen, I hope you can fly to Taiwan with your father to contact the two companies in person now, and complete this acquisition as soon as possible, is it okay?" Chen Lang urged a little anxiously.
"Are you in such a hurry?" Chen Shufen wanted to wait until Chen Lang recorded the record before leaving, but she didn't expect Chen Lang to be so anxious.
"Yes, there might be some changes if the Rolling Stones release the record, so I'd like to ask you to go as soon as possible, okay?" Chen Lang said.
"Okay, anyway, your record is ready, just wait for Jiahui to record the arrangement, then I will take a lawyer and fly directly to Taiwan, and strive to win these two companies as soon as possible." Chen Shufen saw that Chen Lang was so anxious, so she nodded.
"Thank you so much, Sister Chen, I will definitely go to the soup for anything in the future." Chen Lang said solemnly to Chen Shufen.
Chen Shufen saw Chen Lang's serious eyes and knew that Chen Lang really took a fancy to this acquisition, and he was also sincerely grateful to himself, which made Chen Shufen secretly happy, this acquisition was originally beneficial to the development of Huaxing in Taiwan, and now Chen Lang owes himself a favor, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
After the discussion, Chen Shufen said goodbye and went back to prepare to fly to Taiwan, and Chen's father also began to pack his luggage and accompany him all the way.
After solving the things he had been planning for a long time during this time, Chen Lang accompanied Tang Xiaomei to have a good time in the afternoon.
While Chen Lang was playing, Chen Shufen came to the office of Shao Daheng of TVB.
"It's Shufen who is here, how are the preparations for the 'Rookie Singing Contest'?" Shao Tycoon asked when he saw Chen Shufen entering the door.
Shao Daheng has a unique vision, and has taken a fancy to the future development prospects of TV, and has now become the largest shareholder of wireless, and the "Rookie Singing Contest" jointly organized by wireless and Huaxing can be regarded as an attempt by wireless, which is a means and stimulation to improve TV ratings, so as to drive the rapid development of the TV industry.
"Everything is ready, now we just have to wait for the recording of the theme song of the contest and then we can promote it, and we can officially start in May." Chen Shufen replied respectfully.
"Well, yes, this competition is a key project launched by the company, and there is no room for error." Shao Tycoon said solemnly.
"You won't be disappointed." Chen Shufen immediately assured, "In addition, about the promotion of this competition, I, no, it should be said that Chen Lang has a small suggestion." ”
"Oh, what advice does Lang Lang have?" Shao Tycoon was a little surprised.
Chen Shufen heard Shao Tycoon call Chen Lang Lang, her heart moved, it seemed that Shao Tycoon valued Chen Lang very much, and then didn't dare to think about it, so she told Chen Lang about Chen Lang's creativity and inventory about the MV.
Shao Daheng listened expressionlessly, and finally smiled and nodded, "This Lang Lang is really a genius, this method is very good." Since he came up with the solution himself, let's start with his records and see if the effect is as good as he said. ”
Hearing that Shao Tycoon agreed so easily, Chen Shufen was a little surprised, could it be that Chen Lang and Shao Tycoon have any relationship?
"Another thing is about the adaptation rights of the TV series "Xun Qin", Chen Lang decided to sell the adaptation rights to Li." Chen Shufen cautiously looked at Shao Tycoon's expression.
Shao Daheng was a little stunned after hearing Chen Shufen's words, and then his face sank, "Is this kid still short of the 200,000?" Don't know you're wireless? ”
Faced with Shao Tycoon's question, Chen Shufen said helplessly, "Li's agreed to win the right to adapt the novel at a price of 300,000." ”
Shao Daheng said with an ugly face, "Isn't he afraid that the wireless snow will hide him?" ”
Chen Shufen felt a chill when she heard this, Chen Lang is Huaxing's pillar, if the pillar falls, Huaxing will be in big trouble.
"Uncle Liu, after all, Lang Lang is a young man who will only be tempted when he hears Li's high price, and he is about to release his second record now, there must be no problem, even the theme song of the rookie singing contest is also the song in his record, and Lang Lang's first record "Lang Lang Qiankun" sold nearly 2 million copies in Hong Kong."
When Shao Daheng heard Chen Shufen's words, he was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice, "Forget it, you go and get busy." ”
Chen Shufen had no choice but to turn around and leave the office when she heard this, and she was greatly relieved, Shao Tycoon's prestige, even the old courtiers of Wireless were silent, and Shao Tycoon was able to back down for Chen Lang twice, which seemed a little incredible to Chen Shufen.
However, I remembered that Chen Liuquan once said that Shao Daheng seemed to have commented on Chen Lang when he agreed to sign Chen Lang, "Is this another Bruce Lee?" ”
Chen Shufen felt a little unbelievable, although she also valued Chen Lang's talent, but Bruce Lee is a real international superstar, and the gap between the two is afraid that it cannot be bridged at all, but it can be seen that Shao Tycoon appreciates Chen Lang.
The next day, Chen Shufen flew to Taiwan with a lawyer and Chen's father.
At the same time, I thought that it would take a week to complete the soundtrack, but I didn't expect Gu Jiahui to complete the soundtrack of ten songs in just 4 days.
At this time, Chen Shufen and Chen's father were already in Taiwan, but the recording time of the record was relatively tight, because Chen Lang was still going to start school in the middle of the month, so Chen Liuquan immediately contacted Chen Lang to start the recording of the record.
Chen Lang's second album focuses on campus songs.
Campus music originated from the treasure island of Taiwan in the 80s, and at the same time accompanied by the birth of Taiwan's local rock.
The 80s was an era of drastic changes and surging ideas, so innocence, simplicity, and return were the main themes of this era, and the screaming rock was also born epoch-making.
For the survivors who sing with their hearts, the campus is a beautiful pure land for life, they experience youth, have sincerity, and are never kitsch.
Representative songs include "Country Road", "Childhood", "Grandma's Penghu Bay", "Love Song 1980", "Elves in Life", "Let the World Be Full of Love", "Nothing", "Orchid Grass", "Homesickness", "Returning to the Sand City", "Visiting Spring", "Scene in the Rain", "Olive Tree", "Walking Barefoot on the Ridge", "Walking on the Ridge", "Dark and Dark", "Snail and Yellow Bird", "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter", "Weiyang Song" and so on.
Representative singers include Ye Jiaxiu, Liu Wenzheng, Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng, Guo Feng, Shi Xiaorong, Wang Menglin, Qi Yu, Cui Jian, and Hou Dejian.
The theme of school music in the 90s was brothers, tablemates and youth, and it was the heyday of campus folk songs.
Campus folk songs are the absolute mainstream, and the songs at that time always carried a touch of sadness and the bitterness of youth, and of course, there was also a vision for ideals and the future. I hope that one day, when we are too old to walk and sing, our hearts will still be moved by the road we have traveled and the songs we have sung.
Representative songs include "You at the Same Table", "Brothers Sleeping on the Top Bunk", "Youth", "Love in the Dust", "The Age of Fluttering White", "Old House", "Winter Campus", "Classroom Essay on Ideals", "Youth Homo", "Love Song 1990", "That Day", "Lonely Because of Who You Miss", "Leave", "Waiting for People is Like Drinking", "We Met", "The Lover of the Wandering Singer", "Model Love Letter", "Youth Without Regrets", "Good Wind and Long Singing", "Long-lost Things" and so on.
Representative singers include Gao Xiaosong, Lao Wolf, Shen Qing, Yu Dong, Ai Jing, Jin Li, Ye Bei, Lu Xuejun, Liao Min, and Hu Yang.
The 21st century is the end of the era of campus folk songs, and diverse music has its own way.
Everything in the folk song is covered with a layer of poetry, every grass and tree is always about love, the blue sea and blue sky, the path and the distant mountains, the moonlight and the shadow of the lake, the floating clouds, the sunset, the morning in the wind......
Nowadays, few people have made such a graceful confession, and more campus songs that record our young dreams and passions are becoming blurred and distant in the rolling red dust of over-commercialization.
Representative songs include "Butterfly Flower", "The Future of the Future", "Wish", "Voyage", "Missing", "Dancing and Flying", "Life with You", "April Story", "Epitaph", "Apple Red", "The Age of Innocence", "Train", "Dancing with Me", "Ancient Times", "There Will Be a Day", "Dove Tears on the Wound", "Sailing", "Two Thousand Five Hundred Years", "Lost Thoughts" and so on.
Representative singers include Lu Gengxu, Li Jian, Pu Shu, Wang Ze, Feng Lei, Wang Yipeng, Chao Chao, Suzi, Chao Chao, and Pisces.
