030 [Sing all over Taiwan? 】
Wang Zijun's score came out quickly, and he deserved to be the first place.
Then came the award ceremony, due to the withdrawal of Fang Nan, Xiao Lizhu, and Hu Zhi, the second and third place players were like the lucky ones who were hit in the head by pies.
As the champion, Wang Zijun received a reward certificate and NT$2,000. At this time, the monthly salary of ordinary civil servants was about 500 yuan, and 2,000 yuan was a lot of income.
After the award, Wang Zijun was surrounded by people, and through the human wall, he saw Teresa Teng waving goodbye to him.
A sweet smile bloomed, and then turned away, reminding Wang Zijun of the scene in the movie "Sweet Honey", when Liming and Maggie Cheung were separated.
After dealing with the fans, Wang Zijun went downstairs with the long-waiting Guanghui band.
"Mr. Wang, wait a minute!" A man in his thirties caught up.
Wang Zijun asked, "Are you?" ”
The man handed over a business card: "The contemptible person is Zhou Jinrui of Haishan Records." ”
Wang Zijun took the business card and smiled slightly, it was a record company again, and the business cards of the record company in his pocket had been collected in the past two days.
But if it's a Haishan record, you can talk about it.
Hong Kong once had the "Shaw Brothers Film Kingdom", and Taiwan also had the "Haishan Music Kingdom". In the 60s, the Taiwanese music scene could be said to be dominated by Haishan, and in the 70s, it was also one of the Big Three. Until 1978, Haishan spent hundreds of millions of yuan to build Asia's largest vinyl factory in Tucheng, Taipei, but unfortunately encountered the rise of cassette tapes, which led to rampant piracy and a sudden decline in vinyl sales, and Haishan collapsed.
Haishan is the "training class and cradle of singers" in this era, and countless well-known musicians have come out of here. What's even more rare is that Haishan's boss Zheng Zhenkun is open-minded, never makes it difficult to sign artists, and has an understanding attitude towards his artists jumping ship, which led to a large number of artists under it in the 70s being poached by Golin Records with high salaries.
If you really want to sign a record company, Wang Zijun thinks that Haishan Records is the first choice, and he likes a company with a human touch.
"Hello Mr. Zhou." Wang Zijun shook hands and said, "I am also thunderous about Haishan Records, and I have been yearning for it for a long time." ”
Zhou Jinrui couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, and his heart was playful. In the past two days, Wang Zijun has rejected many record companies, and he is very clear, and he has specially asked for opinions from the superiors, agreeing that he will relax the signing conditions to the greatest extent.
"I also watched today's final, and Mr. Wang's song is so wonderful that I can't express it in words." Generally speaking, you can't boast when signing a new person. But through Zhou Jinrui's observation, Wang Zijun was obviously not easy to fool, so he directly put the two sides on an equal footing, and even said compliments.
"Passing the prize." Wang Zijun said modestly.
"Haishan Records is very optimistic about Mr. Wang's development." Zhou Jinrui said, "As you know, Haishan is the cradle of Taiwan's music scene, and joining our company will definitely be more conducive to your future development." ”
Wang Zijun said with a smile: "I admire Boss Zheng's personality very much, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate." ”
"Cooperation?" Zhou Jinrui asked suspiciously.
"Yes, cooperation." Wang Zijun said, "Mr. Zhou, you also know that I have turned down invitations from all companies these days, just because I can't stand the rules of those record companies. ”
"You can rest assured that our company's management of its artists is definitely the most lenient in the whole of Taiwan." Zhou Jinrui explained with a smile.
Wang Zijun shook his head and said, "No, I think Mr. Zhou, you misunderstood what I meant. I don't want to join your company, but I want to work with you. ”
Zhou Jinrui smiled and couldn't help asking: "How to cooperate with the law?" ”
"I want to be a freelance singer." Wang Zijun said, "I signed an agreement with your company, the songs I sing will be released by Haishan Records, and you can also help me contact the performance, and we will share the profits proportionally." ”
Zhou Jinrui was puzzled and asked: "Is this different from signing a contract?" ”
Wang Zijun said: "Of course, there is a difference, first of all, there is no time limit for this contract, and the two parties can negotiate to terminate it at any time in advance. For example, I feel tired lately and don't want to work, so Haishan Records can't force me to participate in activities. ”
"This ...... I'm going to ask the boss. Zhou Jinrui felt a little dizzy, how did this so-called cooperation sound like a child playing a game.
"Of course," Wang Zijun said with a smile, "I don't think any company will agree to my cooperation except Haishan Records." I am waiting for Mr. Zhou's good news. ”
"Then I'll take my leave." Zhou Jinrui said, but his head was thinking about what Wang Zijun's intention was to propose this cooperation.
Wang Zijun has no intentions, it's just that he was forced too hard by the company as an artist in his previous life, and he just wants to live a relaxed life in this life. What's more, in addition to singing, he has a lot of things to do, and he can't be busy at all after he actually signs the contract. In this era, whether it is Taiwan or Hong Kong, artists are all getting up early and crazy filming, singing and making money, and they are tired enough. Lin Qingxia was busy filming for a period of time and could only sleep for three hours a day, Lin's father and Lin's mother felt sorry for their daughter, and threw all the money sent by the producer out of the window to indicate that they would no longer take on the film.
"Zijun, it's Haishan, why did you refuse?" Chen Feipeng of the Guanghui Band said enviously that Haishan Records is a giant in the music world, and he treats artists well, and it is a dream of young singers to be able to sing there.
Wang Zijun smiled, embarrassed to say that he was afraid that he would be too tired from work.
He saw Feng Naikai's lips move a few times, and he stopped talking, so he asked: "Is it strange that I don't join the record company, but come to your band instead?" ”
"yes." Feng Naikai scratched his scalp and said, "I just don't understand, we don't have anything for you to covet, and you can't lie to us." ”
"I just don't think it's easy to meet rock and roll in Taiwan, and your band configuration is so complete." Wang Zijun asked with a smile, "Have you ever thought about promoting rock music to the whole of Taiwan?" ”
Feng Naikai said: "How to promote? Television and radio stations don't broadcast our songs at all. We didn't have a distribution channel, and we couldn't afford to make a record. ”
Wang Zijun patted him on the shoulder: "It's not simple, from Taipei to Tainan, restaurants sing in the past." ”
"Huh?" The four of them were all shocked by Wang Zijun's plan.
Feng Naixin was young and vigorous, and quickly agreed: "I think this idea is very interesting, and I feel crazy when I think about it." ”
Chen Feipeng shrugged: "Anyway, my current job is not interesting, it is better to try." ”
Feng Naikai and Li Bao glanced at each other, and felt that they could see the intention in each other's eyes.
"First of all, we want to sing all the entertainment venues in Taipei within this year." Wang Zijun said, pointing with his hand, and said loudly, "Tonight is our first performance!" ”
Li Bao leaned next to Feng Naikai and whispered, "Why do I feel like I made a stupid decision today?" This guy is a lunatic. ”
"A madman is a madman, I want to see what he can become." Feng Naikai muttered to himself.
People who play art are unreasonable, and outsiders will never understand why Feng Naikai and Li Bao, two international students, are willing to give up their superior jobs to go crazy with a high school student.
Just like Emperor Zhang, who was a doctor at the beginning, had a prominent social status and a good income, but because he didn't want to see the sad faces of patients every day, he quit his job and ran to sing, because singing can bring joy. His family didn't understand him and even expelled him from the house, so he could only go to nightclubs every day to work as a waiter, and then work hard to learn to sing, and finally accumulated a lot of money and became a generation of singers.
(Just like this hard-working worker, because he likes to write stories, he quit his job despite his family's opposition, but after his work hit the street, he is now borrowing money everywhere to make a living, and he has no choice but to find another job, writing while working.) )
