Chapter 222: Dilemma
A strong wind in September made the haze of Tianjing City disappear, revealing a blue sky that had not been seen for a long time.
Ding Shaoyang opened the window with his own hands and breathed in the air outside, looking very comfortable.
"Director, EMI Records of the United States, ranks fifth in the European and American record markets, and they sell tens of millions of records every year, which is far thicker than that of domestic record companies." Li Yiming begged for advice, "This time they suddenly announced their entry into the Chinese music scene, do you think they can stand on their feet?" ”
"Stand still and eat a bowl of rice, as long as their president of Asia is not stupid, it should be okay." Ding Shaoyang said, "The two provinces of Lingnan have a large population and a relatively independent culture, and the local music market has great potential to be tapped. However, if they want to reach out to Jiangnan or even the north, it is not easy.
Rock is too radical and naturally conflicts with China's Confucianism and Taoism culture, and it is still a niche music genre in China after all. It's okay to play once in a while, but if you really want to eat this as a meal, you can't go the ordinary way. ”
"What do you mean?" Li Yiming asked.
"Then it depends on how they play, if they release a record quietly, it will be a dead one. However, if they are like us and Ye Luo, push a musician out as a representative, and participate in the musical confrontation between me and Ye Luo, and the topic is stirred up first, then there will be fun. Ding Shaoyang returned to his office chair and said lightly.
"Then do you think that if they want to push musicians to compete with you and Ye Luo, who will they push?" Li Yiming asked again.
"Of course it can't be a foreigner." Ding Shaoyang said, "Even if the music director of the head office of Baidai, Green Carrey, comes in person and competes with me and Ye Luo here for the production of Chinese songs, it will definitely die." Maybe you don't even need us to go out in person, you and Yu Yiyi can settle him. Because he doesn't understand the lyrics of Chinese songs. There will definitely be something wrong with the rhythm. If you want to push, you can only push Hong Kong Island musicians out. ”
"Hong Kong Island? Who else can compete with you and Ye Luo? ”
"Yes, of course, there is." Ding Shaoyang groaned, "There are countless masters on Hong Kong Island, and the strongest of them is the strongest. It should be the two brothers Yu Zuo and Yu You, who are known as the 'music twin ghosts', who are about the same age as me, twins. When these two people are separated, it is estimated that they are about the same level as Jiaqing and Zu Shaoyuan, but when they are combined, with the tacit understanding between them, whether it is the speed of singing or the quality, they can be called the great enemies of me and Ye Luo. ”
"Oh. I've heard of these two people, who were originally the director and deputy director of Yuexiu Records, but they seemed to have a little conflict and broke up unhappily. The quality of Yuexiu records has also declined because of this, coupled with insufficient funds, so it has gradually declined. Li Yiming said.
"Hehe, these two brothers. can be regarded as talented, but he can't pass the woman's level. It fell out ten years ago. Ding Shaoyang said, "But now, it's more than forty, so I will always look down on this aspect." I wish they could go out of the mountain together this time and muddy the water a little more. ”
"Oh? Why is that? Li Yiming asked.
Ding Shaoyang smiled, "We are in the hands of Tianlai." There are a lot of top-notch people, and the speed of singing is not to be worried, and the quality can also be taken into account. On the side of Momoyo, there are also many masters on Hong Kong Island. It's about the same as us.
Originally, I chose Ye Luo as my opponent, but there was no way, because apart from him, there is no one in China who can compete with our Tianlai.
We are a company, even if I can't suppress him in the future, there are Jia Qing, Luo Xingzhou, Ma Jingyi, and you.
As for him, there is only one person, once he is gone, who will fight with us? No matter how strong a person's talent is and how much inspiration he has, he will run out. Now he has been competing with us for two months, and he is not falling behind for the time being, but at least two new songs a week, and he is not a god, can he still compete with us for two years?
Since I want the music industry to flourish more persistently, then of course I want our opponents to have a slightly thicker foundation.
Over there, the foundation is still not enough. With the addition of Baidai, Ye Luo should feel difficult to carry our two companies alone, so it is not surprising that he will choose to officially join Universal or Dream, and there will be a team of people behind him.
In this way, the current private confrontation between me and Ye Luo can be turned into a full-scale competition between three or four record companies. This, in fact, is the ultimate goal of me and Ye Luo, to drive competition and revitalize the market. ”
After Ding Shaoyang finished speaking, Li Yiming thought for a while before nodding.
"Okay, Momyo's side, leave it alone for the time being." Ding Shaoyang smiled and said, "Xiao Li, your song "Crusader" has received a very good response, plus the previous song "Maya". I found that you still have a lot of experience in making this kind of R&B song. ”
"That was also made under your guidance, and the main theme was still given by you." Li Yiming scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"By the way, I received an invitation from my mentor for the show "Original Good Songs", I think it's good to go and play, are you interested in joining us?" Ding Shaoyang asked, "If you are interested, you can become a contestant." ”
"Hehe, since Mr. Ding is interested, of course I will accompany him." Li Yiming said with a smile.
……
On Thursday, the Sky Dome Bar on Silk Street in Shangdu announced that it would be temporarily closed from today and entered the overall renovation stage. A large sign was hung at the door of the bar: November 1st, the music show of Ye Luo Studio, the new Sky Dome Music Interpretation Hall, is about to be grandly opened.
Ye Luo and Brother Rob were sitting in the studio, each holding a cup of coffee in their hands.
"The renovation budget is 1.4 million, and I have already invested all of it." Rob said, "Now, I don't have a penny in my bank card. ”
Ye Luo smiled: "Me too, it feels good to spend all the money." ”
Tang Jinxiu was a little worried when she heard this: "Boss, you always give us the rest of this month's salary, right?" ”
"Of course." Ye Luo glanced at Tang Jinxiu, "Your boss, am I the kind of person who owes wages?" Besides, at the beginning of next month, the advertising share on Leshi's side will come in, are you still afraid that you won't receive a salary? ”
"That's right!" Tang Jinxiu nodded.
"That's right." Ye Luo said to Rob, "The MV over there in Huanyu is done, "The Sky is High and the Earth is Thick" will be released today, no problem, right?" ”
"You ask me what I'm doing, and you have the final say." Rob waved his hand.
"Boss, then I'll post it now?" Tang Jinxiu asked, "This song doesn't make extras, right?" ”
"Of course I won't do anything else." Ye Luo was frightened into a cold sweat, "This is a song of pure masters, if it is used as a trip to love, your boss and my sexual orientation will be a problem." Miss Tang, don't make a mistake, otherwise I will be miserable by you. ”
"Yes, yes!" Rob looked at Tang Jinxiu and said solemnly, "The journey of love just looked like it was about to break up, and if you insert such a song, then the case will be solved, and the reason for the breakup will be found." I and Ye Luo, that is, I jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it. Miss Tang, you can be merciful. ”
Tang Jinxiu covered her mouth and laughed for a while, and after some skillful operation, she said, "Okay, I've already sent it." Let's see how the fans react. Oh yes, speaking of music fans, boss, once your main song of the week is released, I think it will cause a riot. ”
"Is there such a strict zhòng?"
"yes." Tang Jinxiu nodded, "Now on your Weibo, and in the comment section of the special area, apple pie and sour plum soup are arguing. After the two groups of people squeezed each other, a few apple pies have already stated that if you do release a song about the two breaking up, they will jump off the building. ”
"Won't it?" Ye Luo was really panicked now, "It's too late to change the main line now." ”
"It can't be changed. Some sour plum soup said that if they didn't break up, they would jump off the building. Tang Jinxiu continued.
"This doesn't let people live, or I'll just skip the count!" Ye Luo couldn't cry or laugh.
"Look at you." Rob laughed, "Do you believe what people say on the Internet?" ”
"I have to believe it." Ye Luo said, "Do you remember the last time the school forum livestreamed Xiangxiang? If I hadn't stopped me, there would have been a heartless person in our class who would have gone to eat. ”
"Don't worry, this kind of unique wonder can be encountered by you, it is your creation." Rob patted Ye Luo's shoulder, "Ordinary people don't have this kind of blessing. ”
"I hope so." Ye Luo sighed. (To be continued......)
