496 [Rolling Stone in Preparation]
When Duan Zhongyi heard his younger brother Duan Zhongtan say that Wang Zijun was going to invest 30 million to make a record company, he only thought about it for less than a minute, and then made the decision to cooperate with Wang Zijun.
Why not cooperate? This is a good and harmless thing, could it be that Wang Zijun can still plot against them? With their combined net worth of only a few million, Wang Zijun didn't bother to do it.
Duan Zhongyi and Duan Zhongtan brothers also want to start their own record company, but unless they sell "Rolling Stone" magazine, they can only come up with millions of dollars to start a company. Although this amount of money is enough for start-up capital, it was definitely miserable at first.
And Wang Zijun was different as soon as he joined, as soon as he made a move, it was 30 million, although he took their "Rolling Stone" magazine together, but it was still like pie in the sky.
Is 30 million Taiwan dollars more? Of course, there are many for opening a record production company, and Duan Zhongyi is even thinking about how to spend the money in the most reasonable way.
This question doesn't need to be nerve-wracking for Duan Zhongyi, Wang Zijun has already thought about it, and most of the 30 million will be used to import advanced equipment. For example, the Soundstream digital recording equipment, although this thing has been developed for a long time, was only used for commercial recording by the American company Terrak last year, and the recorded song "Solemn Overture of 1812" made music enthusiasts all over the world bleed wildly.
Wang Zijun suggested that Zheng Zhenkun import a set of digital recording equipment at the beginning of the year, but this Zheng Zheng was too picky, and kept saying that this thing was flashy and too expensive, otherwise how could there be only one or two companies in the world using it.
It was the plate that Wang Zijun brought back from the United States. The world's first direct-engraved LP record recorded by Terak Company shocked Zheng Zhenkun to jump. Listening to the stereo sound coming from the vinyl record, and reproducing every detail of the orchestra at the performance site, Zheng Zhenkun almost called it a miracle.
The result is that Zheng Zhenkun does not want digital recording equipment, but wants to get a set of direct engraving technology for LP records. Wang Zijun hurriedly stopped it, and the vinyl record was already sunset. Buying that thing is just throwing money into the water.
Wang Zijun and Duan Zhongyi's brothers had a simple phone call on the phone, and then Wang Zijun returned to the studio to film, Duan Zhongyi began to contact the team of the company to build the company, and Duan Zhongtan went to the music festival to pay attention to the good singer Miaozi.
This year's music festival is far more lively than the music festival in another time and space that did not leave any memories for future generations. Just in the beginning. Music fans are going for those stars, but they soon find that compared to the few familiar singers every year, countless young singers on stage bring them one surprise after another.
For example, Luo Dayou, a song "Lukang Town" was quickly sung, and it was spread to the people from the Taipei Municipal Baseball Stadium, and soon became a famous song on the lips of the grassroots in the city. It's sung so fast. Even the song review team didn't react, and the song had already spread from Taipei to Taiwan. The central and southern regions of the bay went. In the absence of any formal media propaganda, this situation is nothing short of miraculous.
Of course, Luo Dayou is the only one, and more singers give fans the feeling that they are just not bad. For example, Zhou Huajian, who came from Hong Kong, created an English song that he created is very good. There is also the acoustic guitar choir that won the Excellence Award at the Golden Yun Awards last year, and one of their original campus ballads "Ending Movie" has won the popularity of many student music fans at the music festival, and its choir members Chen Xiunan and Li Zongsheng are known by more people.
But that's about it. These singers dazzle fans when they perform at festivals, and most of them are forgotten afterwards.
Although Luo Dayou's fame has increased greatly, no record company has dared to sign him as a singer for at least a year, and "Lukang Town" is directly contrary to Chiang Ching-kuo. …,
Zhou Huajian? The singing is okay, but this Aberdeen can't even speak Chinese, what is the sign for?
However, the acoustic guitar choir formed by Li Zongsheng and others was affirmed by the Xinli record company where they worked, and was ready to release their first album.
at the music festival. In addition to the song "Lukang Town", the most popular is Wang Zijun's "The First Experience of Love".
The day after Wang Zijun sang this song, a rock singer copied it to a bar and called it the latest song that Wang Zijun had not yet recorded. As a result, the bar suddenly had a huge increase in footfall. Then other peers invited singers to sing Wang Zijun's new songs.
I like this song the most, and I still have those secondary two teenagers Xiao Ah Fei. For a long time after that, there were always some thugs, dressed in fancy clothes, with a longevity cigarette in their mouth, shouting at the girls on the street: "I want a pack of longevity cigarettes, and I find that I am under eighteen years old." Isn't my eighteen-year-old destined to shed tears for love? ”
Duan Zhongtan went around the music festival for several days, and there were few people who came into his eyes, but in the end, there were only two people.
One is Luo Dayou, but instead of being a singer, he entered Rolling Stone Records as a music producer. Luo Dayou is no stranger to this job, most of Liu Wenzheng's movie songs have been produced by Luo Dayou in the past few years, which can be regarded as a part-time job for him to earn extra money.
The other is Chen Zhisheng, 20, who just quit his fourth job after graduating from high school, the lounge bar, last month to become a glorious advertising agency producer. This guy sang a terrible original song at the festival and was almost thrown off the stage by the fans who threw eggs. The reason why Duan Zhongtan recruited him into the company was not because he fell in love with him, but because Chen Zhisheng overheard that Duan Zhongtan was recruited by a record company, and he didn't ask which record company he wanted to come in. In the end, Duan Zhong Tan couldn't stand the entanglement, and reluctantly agreed to let him join the company to do chores.
(By the way, in another time and space, there was a guy named Chen Zhisheng who failed to enter the record company exam three times, and later changed his name to Chen Sheng, and suddenly entered Zongyi Records and became Liu Jiachang's assistant.) After Zongyi Records was acquired, Chen Sheng joined Rolling Stone Records and became a singer and music producer. One night many years later, this guy sat on the streets of Beijing to shabu mutton, humming "why in Beijing" in Hokkien dialect, but was heard as "one_night_in_beijing" by his companions, so he applauded, so a song called "One Night in Beijing" came out, and it quickly became popular all over the KTV. )
The week-long festival soon ended, and Wang Zijun, who had been filming for several days, rushed back to Taipei again and gathered with the Duan Zhongyi brothers in the office of the selected Rolling Stone Records. Also with Luo Dayou, Zhang Aijia, Chen Zhisheng, and another recording engineer named Li Zhijie.
Zhang Aijia and the Duan brothers are old friends, and Luo Dayou has an ambiguous relationship with Zhang Aijia, they are all acquaintances anyway, and this time they were pulled in by the Duan brothers' incorruptible tongue.
Zhang Aijia and Luo Dayou only knew that it was Duan Zhongyi's brothers who wanted to open a record company, but they didn't expect Wang Zijun to suddenly appear and looked at Duan Zhongyi in unison.
Duan Zhongyi said, "Mr. Wang is the majority shareholder of our upcoming Rolling Stone Records. ”
"No, I'm in Wang Zijun's record company?" Chen Zhisheng's head was a little confused, he had worked as a car repairman, elevator maintenance clerk, art designer, and bar waiter in the past two years, but what he wanted most was to be a singer, and now he actually entered Wang Zijun's record company.
Duan Zhongtan pointed to Zhang Aijia and introduced: "Mr. Wang, this is ......"
"No introduction." Wang Zijun interrupted, "This is Ai Jia, an old friend, and so is Dayou." ”
Zhang Aijia met Wang Zijun when she dubbed "Happy Yang and Big Big Wolf", and later made a lot of movies in Wang's Pictures, so she is naturally an old friend with Wang Zijun. And Luo Dayou was even earlier, Wang Zijun was shot in the hospital when he participated in the Baoyu Parade, this guy was still a stupid middle school student at the time, and he actually ran to find Wang Zijun to apprentice. …,
"Brother Wang." Luo Dayou stretched out his hand, his expression a little embarrassed.
Duan Zhongyi introduced Wang Zijun to the recording engineer named Li Zhijie, and when Chen Zhisheng was left in the end, he looked at his younger brother Duan Zhongtan.
"His name is Chen Zhisheng, um," Duan Zhongtan didn't know how to introduce him, just now Chen Zhisheng, this kid was still cleaning the newly rented office, and Wang Zijun ran out by himself as soon as he arrived. I can't introduce Chen Zhisheng as the company's cleaner, after thinking about it for a while, Duan Zhongtan said: "He is the company's business personnel. ”
"Hello Mr. Wang!" Chen Zhisheng stretched out his hand excitedly.
"Hello!" Wang Zijun shook his hand and patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement.
Well, among the few people in front of them, two of the four music wizards of Rolling Stone Records in the future will come - Luo Dayou and Chen Sheng, and only Xiao Worm and Li Zongsheng are left.
Li Zongsheng still sings campus folk songs in the band, but next year the band will be disbanded because of the members' military service, and it will not be too late to poach people when the time comes. As for the worm, the devil knows where this person is nesting, and it is estimated that it will take two or three years before he shows up.
At this time, the porter brought some office supplies, and Duan Zhongtan took a few people to direct the layout of the office hall.
Duan Zhongyi and Wang Zijun came to an empty office and said, "I have already contacted two recording bands, and there are several talented musicians, who will come over in a few days." ”
Wang Zijun said: "I have already contacted the set of digital recording equipment, and it is estimated that it will take another month to ship it from the United States, and you can take care of the rest of the equipment yourself." The most important thing is to find a lead singer to come out. ”
Duan Zhongyi frowned and said: "All the people I can bring in are behind the scenes, and it's really hard to find a singer for a while." Tan also paid attention to some at the festival, but he was not very satisfied. ”
Wang Zijun said: "I know two, and I haven't signed a contract with any record company. ”
"Who?" Duan Zhongyi asked.
"One is named Qi Qin, Qi Yu's younger brother, who is now singing in an amateur group. The other is Pan Yueyun, whose parents died when he was seventeen years old, and is now singing and begging for a living on some small occasions. Wang Zijun smiled, "I have heard them sing, except for a little tender, the others are very good." ”
Duan Zhongyi said with a smile: "I'm a little tender and not afraid, training and training is." ”
Wang Zijun also smiled: "This is your job, I am the shopkeeper." ”
