[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site.]
Within a few days, Fan Wuxian received several good news, one is that the satellite communication service company has begun to try out CCTV's program, the effect is very good, the image is clear and stable, and the most advanced satellite manufactured by Hughes is really not covered.
Another piece of good news is that the New Silk Road Entertainment Company has contacted Xiao Qi's agency.
For the second news, Fan Wuxian paid more attention to it, after all, he couldn't use such a future film and television song superstar, and he was really worthy of his reputation as a genius.
At present, Xiao Qi has not entered the Rolling Stone Records, but belongs to the artists under the Taiwan Xinge Records, although he has released four albums such as "Running to the Rainbow Compilation", "Ask Again", "Indifference and Tenderness", "Fly to Your Own Sky", but the reputation on the island is still relatively low, although he also did some songwriting during this period, but overall, there were no excellent works that could make him famous in one fell swoop.
In fact, it wasn't until Xiao Qi became popular in the mainland because of the song "Too Soft Heart" that everyone knew about it, and his popularity on the island of Taiwan was not very high, and finally after the album "Sad Pacific" was launched, he returned to his birthplace Taiwan from the mainland.
**.coM*** mentioned Xiao Qi's first owner, Xinge Records, Fan Wuxian always thought it was an unknown company, but the information sent back to him by Xia Donghai was not.
It turns out that Taiwan's Xinge Record Company is still very famous in the industry, and when it comes to Taiwanese campus folk songs, we can't fail to mention Xinge Records, Xinge's main achievement is the establishment of the Golden Yun Folk Song Award and the commercialization of folk songs.
Xinge Records was founded in 1976, and in 1977 the company launched the Golden Folk Song Award.
It provides a hotbed for the development of Taiwanese folk songs. Until it was discontinued five years later, the Golden Rhyme Award was held for a total of five sessions.
There are more than 100 campus folk singers, including excellent works such as "Olive Tree", "Scene in the Rain", "Descendants of the Dragon", "Forget Who I Am" and so on.
Qi Qindi's sister Qi Yu is the winner of the second Golden Yun Award. In addition to providing a stage for folk singers to create and perform, Xinge Records has also driven the upsurge of campus folk song creation and dissemination by holding the Golden Rhyme Award, Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng, Doll , Pan Yueyun, Zhang Aijia, Chen Shuhua and a large number of well-known singers have appeared on the music stage in this craze, and there are countless singers we are relatively unfamiliar with.
= Novel 520 premiere == These folk singers, both well-known and unknown of those years. or enter the music scene with the Golden Rhyme Award and become a hot star, or go behind the scenes and become a famous producer, director, and media investor.
Looking at today's Taiwanese music scene, a large number of idealistic and talented musicians have emerged from the folk song movement, which constitute the backbone of Taiwan's music industry.
In the seventies, although campus folk songs had begun to show their fresh, simple and catchy charm, they had not yet become the mainstream form of the music industry at that time, so when Xinge Records held the Golden Rhyme Award.
In addition to sparing no effort to discover musical talents, it also began the commercialization process of bringing campus folk songs to the market, not only publishing a number of commemorative albums of the Golden Yun Award, so that many classics can be handed down.
For example, "Descendants of the Dragon", "Scene in the Rain", "If" and other singers mentioned above have entered the competition, and they have also published albums for many newcomers, so that these singers can be known and gain a foothold in the music world, such as Qi Yu's first album "Olive Tree", Li Jianfu's first album "Descendants of the Dragon", and the first album of the Hill Choir (Doll) "Hill Choir".
The original music albums packaged, distributed and promoted by Taiwan Xinge Records through commercial operation found a new development direction for the record industry at that time, and also found a new way of promotion and development for the development of folk songs at that time.
Soon after the album was released, musicians such as Qi Yu, Cai Qin, and Li Jianfu released their first albums one after another, which also allowed young people who were engaged in the development of local music at that time to join the ranks of folk song creation.
Other independent labels have seen the success of SG Records. I also started to make my own singers.
The joining of these companies pushed the development of Taiwan's folk song movement to a new peak. After the discontinuation of the Golden Rhyme Award in 1981.
Xinge Records has also come to the end of its career, which is undoubtedly a major blow to Taiwanese campus folk songs, which have just flourished.
Luckily. Rolling Stone Records, which was established in the same year, took over the baton from Xinge and purchased the copyrights of all the records under Xinge's name and some singers, and continued to move forward along the road of exploration of Taiwan's local music.
The first release of 5.2.0 and the rise of Rolling Stone Records also means that Taiwanese campus folk songs will have a major turning point, and a new era of Taiwanese pop music is coming.
Because of the poor results, Xinge Records did not attach great importance to Xiao Qi, but they were curious why a mainland entertainment company would be interested in him?
In their opinion, although the mainland market is relatively large, the entertainment industry has been restricted too much, and it has not formed a good business atmosphere, which is not conducive to the development of singers.
Although there have been many singers' records that have sold well in the mainland, the problem of piracy and reproduction is also quite serious, and some political reasons make them feel a little unclear about the mainland's entertainment market.
However, the original intention of the new Silk Road Entertainment Company to buy Xiao Qi's signing rights from the new record company still made them feel a little happy, there are many local artists in Taiwan, there are also many brokerage companies, and the competition is fierce, although there are many opportunities for newcomers to get ahead, but it also means that many newcomers may not be able to become popular after the company's packaging is built, so that there are many artists in the company who are not embarrassed, embarrassed and tepid, it is really a pity to abandon the tasteless.
= Novel 520 debut== For artists who can't get popular, it is also a very good choice to earn a lot of transfer fees, so after weighing the pros and cons, Xinge Records did a good job of Xiaoqi's ideological work, and proposed a transfer fee of two million to the New Silk Road Entertainment Company, and asked the New Silk Road Entertainment Company to make every effort to package and build Xiaoqi at least in the first three years, which can be regarded as fulfilling the duty of the old club.
"Two million?!" After Fan Wuxi heard the news, he had a feeling of disbelief and couldn't help shouting on the phone.
"What? Isn't that a bit much? Why don't I talk to them again? Or 1.5 million can also be taken down----" Xia Donghai misunderstood what Fan Wuxian meant, and thought he was too expensive.
After all, for a newcomer singer who is unknown in the mainland and Taiwan, the transfer fee of two million is really a bit high, although Xia Donghai knows that the boss Fan Wuzhi is rich, but he can't squander it wantonly if he has money, it's shameful to waste!
Fan Wuxian couldn't stop smiling, and it took a long time before he ordered,
"Hundreds of thousands, where is it worth bargaining, quickly signed a contract with them, and brought Xiao Qi to Shanghai, and I will go to Shanghai to guide him personally after a while! During this period of time, you can let him get familiar with the domestic environment, and the Chinese language can also adapt well, and the habits of Taiwan and our mainland are still a little different. ”
"Well, I understand that." Xia Donghai is also an experienced industry insider, of course he knows this.
By the way, Xia Donghai mentioned the question about the script of "Myth" again, earlier Fan Wuxian casually told the synopsis of the story, outlining a general blueprint, Xia Donghai refined it on this big framework, he made up the outcome, the script is a strong point, it has basically been completed at this time, I want Fan Wuxian to review it again, if there is no big problem, I will be ready to contact the actors next month, and then start the film in Hengdian.
Fan Wuxi patted his head, and put aside such an important matter.
"You look at the arrangement first, I'll give you a list when I go back, you contact the people above one by one, we are a big production this time, by the way, Xiao Qi already has experience in film, you think about it, see if the role in the film is more suitable for him, after all, he will be a member of the company soon, no need to use it in vain."
"Well, Mr. Fan, you're very good at picking up ready-made." Xia Donghai didn't expect Fan Wuxian to act so quickly, so he contacted people to his company, and he was about to see benefits!
If you want to create a superstar, any publicity is nonsense, and the best way is to let him appear in front of the public through various channels such as film and television songs as much as possible, which is better than any publicity.
Of course, whether it is gold or not, whether it will shine or not, it depends on your true ability. For Xiao Qi, Fan Wuxian is still very confident.
Hehehe, thinking of Xiao Qi, Chen Bisong, Chen Jingchu, and the newly discovered Fengping, Fan Wuxian feels that he really has the achievements of discerning people, and when the film is released next year, I am afraid that the global media will be surprised, right?
Building your own superstar is a challenging task.
