When the concert was about to start, an old woman about 60 years old came, and Wang Zijun immediately went over to greet her: "Hello Aunt Wang!" ”

This person is the head of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, the wife of the vice minister of culture, and the head of the song review team for this concert.

Why did Wang Zijun agree to come to this concert? In addition to coming to see Cui Jian and others, the most important thing is to give face to this Aunt Wang, she is very optimistic about this concert.

Soon after agreeing to come to the concert of 100 singers, Wang Zijun took this opportunity to send a video of "A Chinese Ghost Story" to Mrs. Wang, which had not even been released in Hong Kong and Taiwan at that time.

Wang Kun is a very open-minded old lady, and after reading it, she probably understood what Wang Zijun meant, so she strongly recommended it to her husband, Vice Minister Zhou of the Ministry of Culture. Only then did Wang Zijun get Vice Minister Zhou's personal phone number, and then contacted Minister Chen of the Ministry of Culture, and Wang's Pictures specially sent someone to negotiate before finally getting the qualification to submit it for review.

"Mr. Wang, welcome back to the motherland." Mrs. Wang pointed to the stage of the gymnasium and said with a smile, "You see that the concert in our mainland is still doing well." ”

"Hehe, Aunt Wang, it's okay for you to call me Xiao Wang. It's all the Wang family, and it was one family five hundred years ago. Wang Zijun said with a smile.

The old lady smiled: "Then I will rely on the old man and sell the old man, and call you a little king." ”

"Yes," Wang Zijun commented with a smile, "This party is really good!" The singers are all very good. ”

To say good is, of course, a lie.

In fact, this concert is also at the level of a college student's school-level concert 20 years later, with lighting, sound, costumes, and scene scheduling all rotten, which is many times worse than the Spring Festival Gala a few months ago.

But it was this amateur-level concert that detonated the great development of mainland pop music.

Wang Zijun and the old lady sat at the front of the audience, and hundreds of singers on the stage had already begun to sing "Let the World Be Full of Love". Although Wang Zijun could sing this song, Guo Feng didn't know it, so they didn't pull him up to sing it together. Besides, if Wang Zijun goes up, he will naturally lead the singing with his status, and then he will dominate the crowd.

The old lady probably likes to compare things from the mainland with the outside, and when "Let the World Be Full of Love" was sung, she asked: "Mr. Wang, this song "Let the World Be Full of Love" was specially written by our creator to commemorate the International Year of Peace, what do you think of the comparison with Michael Jackson's "o_are_the_orld"?" ”

"Each has its own characteristics," Wang Zijun thought for a while and said, "The song "Let the World Be Full of Love" is more atmospheric. ”

The old lady was overjoyed and continued to watch the performance.

After that, the singers sang alone, and it didn't take long for a super beauty to come on stage, and as soon as she opened her mouth, Wang Zijun's attention was attracted to it. It's not because of his looks, but because the singing voice is so sweet that he can sing softly for hard-hearted men.

The old lady introduced with great interest: "This little girl's name is Li Ningyu, she is a singer trained by our song and dance troupe, and as soon as I joined the troupe, I found that her quality is very good." ”

"Her timbre is very recognizable and she is very popular." Wang Zijun commented from a business perspective.

The old lady said: "In terms of fame, I still can't keep up with your singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and now the best selling in the mainland is still the song belt of Hong Kong and Taiwan." ”

What's the use of selling well? Most of them are covers, and the income from cover songs has not given Hong Kong and Taiwan singers a penny.

However, at this time, Taiwan and Hong Kong were not qualified to say that their counterparts from the mainland, and many of the pirated videotapes and records on the mainland were smuggled from Hong Kong. Taiwan's piracy industry is as prosperous as the mainland 20 years later, so much so that the media directly refers to Taiwan as a "pirate kingdom."

Wang Zijun suddenly thought of something and said to the old lady: "Aunt Wang, how about you think I made a record for this Miss Li?" ”

The old lady was obviously mistaken, and said in surprise: "You want to sell Li Ningyu's songs to Hong Kong and Taiwan?" ”

"No, I invested in a music company in Guangzhou last year, and I mean let this music company release a record for Miss Li." Wang Zijun explained.

The old lady said, "That's a good idea." Mr. Wang, I am very relieved of your music production ability, and I will write a comment when I go back. ”

"Then it's settled." Wang Zijun said with a smile.

Li Ningyu, next year, one of her records will sell 8 million sales in the mainland. The sales of 50,000 pieces in Hong Kong and Taiwan are considered platinum, and 100,000 pieces are counted as double platinum, what is the sale of 8 million copies? Count 160 Platinum?

However, with the current artist system in the mainland, Li Ningyu belongs to the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, and no matter how well the records sell, it is also the record production company and the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe that share the money. As for the singer Li Ningyu herself, she can only get a monthly salary in the song and dance troupe, and at most a large bonus.

This is obviously a rule, for example, Li Lianjie's "Shaolin Temple" a few years ago had a box office of over 100 million, and as the leading actor, he could only receive a salary of a few hundred yuan.

Wang Zijun believes that as long as Li Ningyu is brought to his own company and one or two records are released at most, Li Ningyu will definitely quit the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe and go to the sea to join the company as a commercial singer - who will have trouble with money?

The old lady obviously didn't know that Wang Zijun was making up her mind to dig her, and she was still chatting with Wang Zijun while watching the performance. The content of the chat gradually changed from domestic to foreign, and when she talked about "Titanic", she asked with some suspicion: "Mr. Wang, I heard that the box office of "Titanic" has more than one billion US dollars? ”

"That's almost a billion of them." Wang Zijun nodded.

"How much foreign exchange do you have to earn, it seems that we should also reform and open up the cultural industry." The old lady sighed. She had always thought that this rumor was false, but she didn't expect it to be confirmed by Wang Zijun himself.

Last year, China's national foreign exchange reserves were only 2.6 billion US dollars (a large amount of foreign exchange was lost due to repeated investment in 84 years), and the box office of Wang Zijun's film was half of the country's foreign exchange, which was completely beyond the imagination of the old lady.

Wang Zijun patiently explained: "In fact, the cost of this film is close to 200 million US dollars, and I personally invested most of the money. But in addition to the share of the cinema chain and the cinema, as well as the share of the production partner and taxes, my net income at the box office is a little more than 300 million. ”

"Oh, 300 million is not a lot." The old lady doesn't know much about how to distribute profits at the box office of foreign movies, and it would be a little better to listen to Wang Zijun, otherwise it would be too terrifying.

The old lady's husband is the vice minister of the Ministry of Culture, and she is also from the role of "The White-Haired Girl", she is extremely interested in movies, and she doesn't watch the performance much later, so she has been pulling Wang Zijun to talk about the American film industry, as well as the current situation of Chinese films in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The two chatted back and forth for more than an hour, Wang Zijun was already a little bored, and the old lady was still interested.

A person suddenly went up on the stage, one trouser leg was covered to the ankle, and the other trouser leg was pulled up to expose half of the calf, plus the short coat on the upper body.

This person is the godfather of rock in Chinese mainland, and Cui Jian, who previously took his own space steps during the chorus.

"I used to ask a lot,

When are you going to come with me?

But you always laugh at me,

Nothing

……”

Wang Zijun was talking to the old lady while thinking about other ideas.

There are more than 100 singers who sing live, and there are no longer a few who are strong but not well-known like Cui Jian. The works they create and sing are worried that they can't find a way to record and make money.

First of all, I bought all the songs with the copyright of these songs in my hands, and then made a series of albums, called "100 Singers Peace Concert", if it is operated properly, I think it will sell well.

Then, those with strong creative ability or good singing skills will be absorbed into the company's artist reserve. I am not afraid of signing more artists, anyway, the singers in the mainland are very good to support now, and the company helps arrange notices, which is much more glorious than going to the cave in private. However, in this case, the company will have to send more people in business and management, and it will have to transfer some from Rolling Stone Records, or directly hire relevant professionals from Hong Kong and Taiwan to the mainland.

The concert was about to end, but I heard the host shouting: "Next, I invite Mr. Wang Zijun, an international star, from Taiwan to sing "Tomorrow Will Be Better"! ”

"I seem to hear Wang Zijun's three words, did I hear it wrong?"

"Looks like I heard it too."

"No, Wang Zijun is really here, right?"

"Look at it, isn't he the one on stage?"

"It really is! This trip is not in vain, the ticket is worth the price! ”

“……”

There was an instant sensation in the stadium, and the people who came here to watch the concert were all people who liked pop music, which was the most fashionable batch in the mainland at this time. Wang Zijun's "Childhood", "Your Look", "True Hero" and other songs are as popular as Teresa Teng's songs in the mainland, and they can be said to be Wang Zijun's fans.

Not only those fans, even if there are more than 100 stars on the stage, at least eighty or ninety percent of them are Wang Zijun's fans. They were all enlightened by listening to Wang Zijun and Teresa Teng's songs and music, for them, Wang Zijun and Teresa Teng are tantamount to the godfather and godmother of their musical life.

Wang Zijun walked up to the stage and shook hands with several members of the accompanying band before returning to the center of the stage and singing: "Gently wake up the sleeping heart and slowly open your eyes......"

"Good!" As soon as he sang a sentence, the audience was cheering in unison. It is not screaming and applause, but shouting and cheering as loudly as when watching Peking Opera.

Wang Zijun has not officially sung on stage for many years, and as soon as he got the microphone at this time, he instantly found his feeling. The other singers at the scene felt the deepest and the most shocked, Wang Zijun's superstar aura was too much, he didn't need any dance movements and gestures, and he opened his mouth to sing to control the stage.
