September 10, 1986.

Century Note Records conference room.

"When everyone is here, we'll have a meeting."

In addition to Meng Chao, there were also the four sons of BEYOND, Huang Baiming and some staff members on the record production in the entire conference room.

As the boss, Meng Chao began to say: "The purpose of our meeting today is mainly to discuss the production of the record "Sea and Sky", and I plan to make our company's second album, which will launch eleven songs at one time, and "Sea and Sky" on the night of the finals of the Youth Innovation Competition will be used as the title song......"

Now after the end of the entire Youth Innovation Competition, in addition to Meng Chao, the most popular ones are probably Ye Qianwen and BEYOND.

For this reason, Meng Chao plans to use the fame of the Youth Innovation Competition to make a big album, rather than an EP record.

The first one that is being produced is Meng Chao's own record, which is called "Never Left".

Obviously, the title song of this music album is "Never Left" on the night of the finals, and the other ten songs include "Please Follow Me - Solo Version", "Once You", "Travel", "I Can't Sing", "Between Half Dreams and Half Awakening", "Sea and Sky - Letter Orchestra Version", "Me", "The Way You Look", "Hug in the Wind - Chorus Version", "Kiss Goodbye - Chorus Version".

It can be seen that all the songs in Meng Chao's first chapter album "Never Left" are what he sang after he made his career, including three songs during Yaya's live broadcast, as well as songs during the Youth Innovation Competition, and songs that have been sung publicly on other occasions, and finally there is a song "Once You" is the song of Xu Wei who Meng Chao did not choose during the Youth Innovation Competition.

Because at that time, Meng Chao chose another song "Travel" by Xu Wei.

It can be said that this album was recorded by Meng Chao and specially collected for fans who like him, so Meng Chao chose to price it with conscience, and one piece only sells for 15 yuan.

It's just the price of an EP with a few songs.

It can be said that if you sell it at this price, basically the profit is very low, and it can only be driven by sales, but now Meng Chao doesn't care too much about the income of the record, because he knows that the era of disc records is no longer there.

Sooner or later, the record industry will become a sunset industry, so what Meng Chao has to do is nothing more than leave fans with the last memories before the sunset.

As for BEYOND's "Sea and Sky" album, it is planned to add all of BEYOND's good songs to it at one time, including "Goodbye Ideal", "Footprints of the Old Days", "No More Hesitation", "I Really Love You", "Arabian Dancing Girl", "Cold Rainy Night", "Who Accompanies Me", "Gray Track", "Endless Emptiness", "I Am Angry" and the title song "Sea and Sky".

The purpose of today's meeting is to set songs, and Meng Chao is basically making decisions alone, because many songs are created by Meng Chao or created by Huang Jiaju, and Meng Chao is the boss of the company, so he has more right to speak.

However, after deciding on the main song, what needs to be done is how to shoot the MV for the song, which needs to be discussed by everyone, not something that Meng Chao can completely handle alone.

In terms of MV recording and publicity, Meng Chao is more handed over to the staff of Century Note to deal with, and now many professionals in the company are industry experts invited by Meng Chao according to his memory, so Meng Chao is still very relieved to hand it over to them.

The reason why Meng Chao attended this meeting was more to take the opportunity to discuss with Huang Baiming how to promote BEYOND's strategy.

"Brother Baiming, do you remember when we weren't famous before, when we didn't have a job, we would drink a little wine together, everyone was relatively poor at that time, so there was no place to go, sometimes when I was excited, I would feel that my persistence for so many years was not interesting!"

Suddenly, Meng Chao told Huang Baiming the story of the two in the past with mixed feelings, which aroused the interest of everyone present.

Huang Baiming also nodded and said with a wry smile: "Yes, it was really hard at that time, sometimes I had no place to go after staying at home for a long time, so I would run to make a bus, Yanjing's bus has subsidies and is very cheap, so we occasionally sit a few stops to wander around, otherwise there is really no place to use if there is too much time......

Meng Chao also smiled: "Yes, when there was no filming at that time, I ran around looking for other people's song halls and bars to invite me to sing, but many times I was gray." ”

"Brother Baiming, have you ever thought that if we give up, we won't have today's success?"

Saying Meng Chao entered the topic: "Everyone of us here has survived all the way, but no matter how hard it is, we have never given up, I think persistence is not necessarily right, but sometimes you don't have a persistent heart and perseverance, you may give up halfway to do anything, I think of this today because I think I can use BEYOND as the protagonist, make a very inspirational music movie, and cooperate with the promotion of the record release later, what do you think?" ”

Hearing this, everyone felt that there was a joke, and immediately chimed in: "This thing is reliable!" ”

Huang Baiming thought for a while and said: "It's okay, after all, BEYOND is becoming more and more popular now, and their making movies is a very topical thing in itself, Mr. Meng, have you thought of the script?" ”

Meng Chao nodded: "The script has been almost written, called "Don't Bully the Young Poor", it is about the four of them who have just graduated from high school, only Shirong was admitted to college, Jiaju's parents have always wanted to immigrate, so they have worked very hard for this, and the director zhì Jiaju's body was played miserably, and the immigration was not approved, and Jiaqiang entered the foreign exchange company, was disgusted and avoided by all relatives, and finally caused his seventh aunt to be cheated of money by the boss, and in the end his boss was punished by the law.

Guanzhong wanted to be a policeman but could only start as a traffic officer, and finally got angry everywhere, and Shirong was a top student who wanted to continue to take the music university, but his girlfriend's father forced him to study medicine! Although their lives are full of setbacks, they still stick to their music dreams, and finally participate in music competitions, and continue to stick to their dreams! ”

The four sons of BEYOND heard that the story of this movie is mainly based on music, and they all expressed their willingness to act, Jiaju even said: "I like this movie, I have many friends who play music are looked down upon, and feel that they are wasting their lives and wasting time, I think this movie may be able to help us rehabilitate, playing music is not a big rebellion, we have not done anything hurtful, why can't the public respect our dreams?" ”

Huang Baiming also said: "I also think this movie is promising!" ”

Meng Chao patted Huang Baiming on the shoulder: "Since Brother Baiming thinks he can do it, the director of the movie will be handed over to you, and I will give you the complete script next week." ”

This "Don't Bully the Poor Boy" is actually filmed by BEYOND and Huang Baiming, one of the owners of Xinyi City, in the parallel world, so it is most appropriate for them to be responsible.

In addition, when filming this movie in a parallel world, the BEYOND band was just a rock band without much influence, even in a place in Xiangjiang, its influence was very limited, but in this world, after the fermentation of the Youth Innovation Competition, the BEYOND band has more than 10 million fans across the country!

It can be said that it is several times more than the population of the entire Xiangjiang in the parallel world!

Therefore, after the filming of this "Don't Bully the Poor Boy", it will definitely be very popular, so Meng Chao came up with the idea of filming this movie to bundle it with the new record "Sea and Sky" of the BEYOND band!
