Qiong Yao's premiere has not yet arrived, and Wang Zijun's house has another guest.

Wang Zijun saw Zheng Zhenkun carrying a gift, and hurriedly greeted him: "Oh, Brother Zheng, I said that I would go to you for New Year's greetings in two days, why did you come by yourself." ”

Zheng Zhenkun laughed and said: "Isn't it the same who gives New Year's greetings to whom?" ”

"Happy New Year, Boss Zheng." Lin Qingxia walked out of it and greeted with a smile.

Zheng Zhenkun's smile never stopped, and said: "My brother and sister are getting more and more beautiful, or Brother Wang has vision." ”

"Boss Zheng, please take a seat, I'll make you a cup of coffee." Lin Qingxia happily beckoned Zheng Zhenkun in.

Wang Zijun glanced at Zheng Zhenkun's gift, which was a set of Dior's high-end cosmetics. Nowadays, this brand is only famous in Europe, and few people in Taiwan have heard of it.

Zheng Zhenkun originally called Wang Zijun Mr. Wang, and then Xiao Wang, Zijun, until Wang Zijun made a movie, and then became an elder brother, and now he is quietly carrying expensive gifts to Mén, Wang Zijun really doesn't know what he wants to do.

Zheng Zhenkun saw Lin Qingxia leaving, and whispered mysteriously: "I heard that Xiao Qiao is coming back this year." ”

Zheng Zhenkun didn't know that Wang Zijun and Lin Qingxia had already gone through the marriage procedures, and he had a good relationship with the Hong family, so he naturally hoped that Wang Zijun could marry Hong Xiaoqiao.

"Sister Xiao Qiao, I haven't been in touch for a long time, has she been in the UK?" Wang Zijun asked.

Zheng Zhenkun said: "This child also runs around, the first year he studied aesthetics in the UK, the second year he went to Austria to study music, and the third year he went to France to study fashion design. What do you think you can learn from this shot and change places? Lao Hong summoned a few times, but he just refused to come back, and now he simply doesn't care. ”

Wang Zijun laughed and said: "This is like her xìng style, unrestrained and free." ”

Zheng Zhenkun said: "I have been used to it since I was a child. Lao Hong's family has been her for several generations, all of them are sons, and they are not used to death. ”

"By the way, where is Little Joe in France? I knew that I would stop by to see her when I was in Cannes last year. Wang Zijun said.

Zheng Zhenkun said: "It seems to be in Milan." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Wang Zijun said: "Brother Zheng, I have basically prepared the songs for this year's record, and I can participate in the recording in a few days." ”

"Zijun," Zheng Zhenkun suddenly looked at him and said, "I'm not here to talk to you about this today." ”

Wang Zijun asked, "Is there any trouble?" ”

Zheng Zhenkun said: "I heard that you helped plan this year's Chūn Festival Gala of China Television?" ”

Wang Zijun said modestly: "Where, I just talked about ideas, from planning to directing, it was all from China Television themselves." ”

"Is that true?" Zheng Zhenkun said: "See if you can plan a unique singing competition." ”

"Singing contests? Dealing with Kolin Records? Wang Zijun suddenly remembered the recent grievances between Haishan Records and Golin Records.

"yes, if you don't fight back, you'll be riding on my head and." Zheng Zhenkun sighed.

Haishan Records held various singing competitions, but unfortunately it basically did not achieve much impact. However, Golin Records has held two consecutive Golin Star Awards, but it has been very successful. As a result, a number of potential players have been discovered, coupled with Gelin's continuous poaching of people and the introduction of Japanese packaging concepts, which now has a great impact on Haishan.

Or rather, it's not an impact, but a disgust, and these means can't hurt the Haishan Company. But a new company constantly makes provocative behavior, and everyone is annoyed.

It's a pity that the backstage of Golin is hard, although Zheng Zhenkun's Haishan Company has always been the leader of the martial arts alliance in the Taiwanese music scene, but he is an outsider from Hong Kong in the final analysis. In the first two years, because he had to borrow the distribution channel of Haishan, the means were slightly relaxed, but now that his wings have grown stiff, he has begun to play horizontally.

At this time, it was the beginning of the year, and Haishan Records happened to have several singers' contracts expired and were talking about contract renewal.

Not only that, but even the popular bands and singers such as the Guanghui Band during the contract period, Golin Records frequently sent people to contact, and on the day of the Lantern Festival, they really poached a first-line NV singer - Zhenni.

Zhen Ni is now a well-known super singer in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and her fame is not much weaker than Teresa Teng. Moreover, his singing skills are outstanding, and he is known as the "golden voice", and later he was called "the giant lung of the music world" by Huang Zhan.

Golin Records is ruthless this time.

Wang Zijun said with a smile: "With the strength of our Haishan, only one Zhenni has left, and these small actions of Gelin are not enough to see." ”

"You don't know yet, I'm not angry that Jenny is gone, but that Gorin's methods are disgraceful." Zheng Zhenkun aired. ,

Zheng Zhenkun was not only poached by his subordinates, but also the stumbling blocks behind the back of the Golin Records through administrative means. Since the lyrics censorship system came out, Haishan's new songs released in the second half of last year have been out of trouble every now and then. At that time, I thought that it was the party department that ordered strict management, Zheng Zhenkun didn't take it seriously, but now all kinds of circumstances confirm that these are all ghosts that Gerin is doing in the back.

For example, last year, Jenny's new record was suppressed by the Information Bureau for more than two months, always saying that the content of the song was negative, which affected the positive mood of the people. Now, as soon as I went to Golin Records, it was immediately announced that the record would be released next month.

In the second half of last year, all matters related to mass communication in Taiwan were transferred to the Information Bureau of the Executive Yuan, and the Information Bureau also set up a special publishing office, a film business office, and a radio and television business office for this purpose.

Wang Zijun has a good relationship with Wang Hongjun, the boss of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, but unfortunately now the Cultural Affairs Bureau is gradually not responsible for specific affairs, and can only help remind him in the general direction.

Wang Zijun asked, "How is Brother Zheng going to do it?" ”

Zheng Zhenkun said: "Haishan is going crazy now, except for poaching. In order to compete for the resources of singers, the conditions for new singers are very generous. Their singing contest has made a lot of fame because of the help of China Television, and now when it comes to singing competitions in Taiwan, they are all talking about the Star Contest of Goling. ”

"Golin gives generous conditions to newcomers? I think they were very picky. Wang Zijun asked with a smile.

Zheng Zhenkun said disdainfully: "The contract is very yòu people, but there are a lot of tricks hidden, after those newcomers enter the Gelin Record Company, they can't help it, it's not what Gelin said?" ”

"I'll just say it." Wang Zijun said with a smile.

Zheng Zhenkun said angrily: "I won't be in a hurry when a singer is poached, I can train two if I leave one; I'm not in a hurry to be suppressed by the Information Bureau, no matter how I say that I've been in Taipei for so many years, those guys don't dare to completely tear their faces; Only this 'Golin Star Singing Contest' is a bit dangerous, Taiwan's big palm is a place with limited talents. If all the good newcomers go to Gelin, and the fresh blood is cut off, Haishan Records is really dangerous. ”

"Well said," Wang Zijun couldn't help but applaud and echoed.

The most important reason why Zheng Zhenkun was able to establish a music kingdom in Taiwan is that he has a long-term vision. In the eyes of other bosses, red singers are cash cows, and the support or suppression of the authorities is a lifeline, but these are only temporary, and the company cannot be bigger and longer for a long time. In Zheng Zhenkun's eyes, these are not as good as the new singers that emerge every year.

Haishan Records, known as the cradle of Chinese singers at this time, is not unfounded.

Zheng Zhenkun said: "So, I want to come out of a singing contest and suppress the Golin Star Singing Contest." I know you have a lot of ideas, I'm here to discuss a plan today, what do you say? You can figure it out if chūn is so successful in the evening, a singing contest should be no problem. ”

Wang Zijun instantly thought of super NV, but then denied it. A large part of the success of Super NV is due to the development of communication technology in its promotional planning and marketing model. Now let alone text messaging, outside the city, many homes in Taiwan don't even have landline phones. What's more, the current competition program cannot be broadcast live at all, and the post-production of a slightly larger program will take several days.

Wang Zijun thought for a while and said: "I only have some vague ideas now, let me think about it again." There's no rush on this, singing contests are usually held in the summer, and there are still a few months left. ”

Zheng Zhenkun didn't have to ask Wang Zijun to give an answer now, but he had witnessed too much magic of Wang Zijun and had huge expectations for him.

"I don't have the idea of a singing contest, but there are a few good rookie singers now." Wang Zijun smiled mysteriously.

"Oh, how many?" Zheng Zhenkun didn't believe it, and the excellent newcomers didn't buy turnips, but a few came out at once.

Wang Zijun said: "One is Luo Dayou, this young man has great potential and is a very good original singer. ”

Zheng Zhenkun nodded and said: "I have seen him, and he recorded a song in the company many years ago, but his singing skills are not very good, and the song is written in average." ”

Wang Zijun was amused in his heart, the godfather of Taiwanese music in the future was actually evaluated like this.

Wang Zijun said: "I'm optimistic about him. ”

Zheng Zhenkun smiled and said, "Okay, you can just look at it." ”

Wang Zijun said: "There is also a person named Gao Lingfeng, who has been on this year's chūn night. ”

Zheng Zhenkun said: "I also know this person, I have recommended it by Qiong Yao before, and I have met it once." I don't like his xìng grid though. ”,

"What's the grid?" Wang Zijun asked.

"Too hypocritical, inconsistent, and too strong to win, too poor self-control. Once this kind of person succeeds, it is easy for the villain to succeed, and once he is planted, he will slump again. Most importantly, his voice is not very recognizable, his personal style is almost non-existent, and his creative aspect is completely blank. Zheng Zhenkun said with a smile, "So last time Qiong Yao introduced him to me, I rejected the face and didn't accept it." ”

Wang Zijun was convinced, Zheng Zhenkun was able to penetrate Gao Lingfeng through chat and observation just by meeting him, and he was really a god. Zheng Zhenkun said it well, Gao Lingfeng is such a person, even if he is the No. 3 singer in Taiwan after Liu Wenzheng and Teresa Teng, he still looks like a villain, and he often can't control himself. When he is old, he can't change his ostentatious xìng style, and he brags everywhere about how he chased Lin Qingxia back then and how he became friends with Teresa Teng.

Wang Zijun said: "These don't matter, although Gao Lingfeng is a bit two hundred and five, he is still moral, and his malleability is very strong." ”

Zheng Zhenkun smiled bitterly, he couldn't imagine that two newcomers who didn't have much potential in his opinion were actually valued by Wang Zijun.

Is the old way of getting people outdated?

Wang Zijun said: "The last one is called Liu Wenzheng." ”

"Liu Wenzheng?" Zheng Zhenkun said he had not heard of it.

Wang Zijun said: "With these three newcomers, it is enough to suppress the head of Gelin Records. ”

Zheng Zhenkun didn't know why Wang Zijun looked up to these three people so much, but since he said it so surely, there must be a reason, Zheng Zhenkun had a feeling of waiting and seeing.

Wang Zijun said: "Newcomers and singing contests aside, I think it is urgent to introduce the Japanese entertainment industry." ”

"It's hard." Zheng Zhenkun sighed and said.

Today, Taiwan is the center of the Chinese music scene, and Hong Kong and Southeast Asia are extremely affected by the Taiwanese music scene. But even this status can't hide the backwardness of Taiwan's music scene, compared with Japan, it's like a bun.

Costumes, hairstyles, makeup, stage, publicity, planning and packaging of artists and other aspects, Taiwan is backward in all aspects. This is not something that can be changed in a while, and it requires a lot of professional talent.

Wang Zijun said: "It's difficult to do, and now Gelin has begun to try." Our Taiwanese singers went to Japan for a year or two, and immediately after they came back, they immediately improved a lot, which is obvious to all. ”

Lin Qingxia brought two cups of hot coffee at this time, and when she saw that they were talking about business, she smiled at Zheng Zhenkun and went to the study to practice painting.

Zheng Zhenkun took out a cut cigar, lit it and said, "What do you think?" ”

Wang Zijun smiled: "What can be done?" It's not a matter of one person or two. We can only dig up a professional team from Japan with a lot of money, and then we can train another batch ourselves. ”

"What about professional equipment? Do you want to introduce them all? Zheng Zhenkun asked.

Wang Zijun said: "You can consider it, anyway, sooner or later it will be replaced." By the way, Brother Zheng, have you ever heard of karaoke? ”

"Karaoke? What is this? Zheng Zhenkun asked.

"It's a machine that plays music cassettes so that guests can order songs by themselves." Wang Zijun explained.

"Oh, you mean a jukebox, I've seen it in a bar in Japan." Zheng Zhenkun suddenly realized.

Wang Zijun said with a smile: "The fool who invented this kind of machine did not apply for a patent technology, and now no one in Taiwan does it, so we can take it." ”

"What's the use of this? Jukeboxes are not affordable for everyone in Japan. Zheng Zhenkun said.

Karaoke does not have an accompaniment function nowadays, and the current cassette technology is very backward, and the musical effect is very poor. Huā Qian sings on a jukebox, it is better to play the guitar and sing by himself.

Wang Zijun smiled and asked: "If, I mean if, that jukebox can accompany itself like a band." Put such an object in a bar or a cabaret hall, do you think someone will patronize it? ”

"Accompaniment by yourself? It can't be, right? Zheng Zhenkun said suspiciously.

Wang Zijun said: "Nothing is impossible. Now many music companies in Japan are developing, and there have been breakthroughs, but due to the immaturity of the current cassette technology, the effect is not very good. Once cassette technology is developed, will this kind of unaccompanied jukebox be popular? ”

"Whew" Zheng Zhenkun took a breath, he could imagine that situation. In the past, if you wanted to sing properly, there was only artificial accompaniment, and with an unmanned jukebox, it means that ordinary people who don't know music at all can sing like a singer......

Wang Zijun said: "The principle of this jukebox is not complicated, I think we can go to Japan as soon as possible to dig up some people and technology to develop it ourselves." Wait until the cassette technology matures...... Brother Zheng, what do you say? ”

Zheng Zhenkun held the cigar between his fingers, was stunned for a while, nodded seriously and said, "You can try it." ”
