Chapter 021 Genius
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr. Gu Weiqi, the owner of our company."
After coming out of the recording studio, Zhong Jinghui brought Gu Weiqi into an office hall and introduced: "This is Wang Fuling, the production director of our company, and Mr. Wang has high musical attainments. This is Lu Guanting, our company's cutting-edge creative director. This is Xu Feng, the director of our company's distribution department, and this is Ma Rulongma, the head of our record production company......"
Everyone greeted one after another: "Hello Mr. Gu." ”
"Hello everyone." Gu Weiqi greeted and looked at several of the company's main leaders.
Wang Fuling looked familiar, and he came back to his senses after half a ring, this is the teacher Chen Xunqi, who is known as the film wizard of Xiangjiang. And Lu Guanting is also a well-known figure in the historical Hong Kong music industry, he has also seen a photo of the other party on the Internet, and he is still a young man in his thirties.
As for Xu Feng, Ma Rulong and a few others are relatively unfamiliar.
Xu Feng looks like he is thirty-two or thirteen years old, tall and lofty, and looks like a shrewd and capable guy; Ma Rulong is in his forties, with a pair of black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he is polite. However, since Zhong Jinghui arranged for the other party to be in charge of the irrigation company, he must have his advantages.
Gu Weiqi did not point out Zhong Jinghui's personnel arrangements. The so-called employment is not suspicious of suspicion, since the company is handed over to the other party to take care of, there is no intention to interfere. After getting to know each other, I took out the song manuscripts of "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" and "Blood Like Fire".
Everyone watched it, and they all felt that the two songs that Gu Weiqi came up with were quite good nowadays.
Especially when they learned that these two songs were written by him, everyone was moved. Originally, they still thought that the boss was too young, and even if they opened a music company, most of them were in the nature of playing tickets, and maybe they didn't even understand the staves. Now they know that the boss not only understands music, but also seems to be quite proficient, and it can be seen from these two songs that the creative ability is extraordinary, and everyone can't help but be impressed.
"I plan to use these two songs as the theme songs of 'Huo Yuanjia' and 'Drunken Boxing King Wuji', what do you think?" Gu Weiqi saw that everyone had finished watching it, so he appeared and asked.
Lu Guanting asked: "Is it the 'Huo Yuanjia' and 'Drunken Boxing King Wuji' serialized in the newspaper?" ”
"That's right."
"Then I think it's good. Director Wang, what do you think? ”
"I think it's pretty good, too."
"Since everyone thinks it's good, let's start recording."
Everyone nodded, and followed Gu Weiqi into the recording studio. Wang Fuling, Lu Guanting, Zhong Jinghui and others personally accompanied Gu Weiqi.
"I've been asleep for a hundred years~ The people have gradually woken up~ Open your eyes~ Be careful~ Which is willing to admit yourself~ Because of cowering and forbearance~ People are becoming more and more arrogant~ Open your mouth to shout~ Shout loudly~ Here are all soldiers in the whole country~ Robbers have always invaded~ In the end, they will die~ The Great Wall will never fall~ The Yellow River is surging for thousands of miles......"
Gu Weiqi used his voice full of vicissitudes to interpret this song vividly. Because he has been practicing martial arts for a long time, his breath is particularly long and strong. Especially the roundness between the ventilation made Wang Fuling and them impressed again.
You must know that ordinary people can't reach this level at all, and in the history of the Chinese music scene, Deng Lijun was able to quietly complete the transformation of breath. Therefore, the recording level of this song far exceeds the version sung by Xu Xiaoming. As for "Blood Like Fire", it is also performed in a high-pitched and agitated manner, which is shocking.
After recording these two songs, Gu Weiqi simply wrote "Ice Age", "Blue Warrior", "Venus", "Louis Brothers", "I Found My Way", "Chain Reaction", "Dance", "Only You" eight classic Hedong classic disco, plus Bon Jovi's "This is My Life" and Michael Jackson once won the Grammy Award "Avoid" two classic rock songs.
But this is not used up, and then there are "Dream Chaser", "My Future is Not a Dream", "New Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream", "The Most True Dream", "Sword Like a Dream", "If the Heart is in a Dream", "A Game, A Dream", "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", "Wind and Rain" and "Love the Country and Love the Beauty More".
Ten songs in English, ten songs in Chinese. The English song Gu Weiqi is ready to use "This is my life" as the title song, while Chinese uses "Dream Chaser" as the title song, and according to his plan, these twenty songs are ready to create two albums. There is no way, although now the Legend of Heaven International Music Company is officially operating. But he hasn't signed a singer yet, so he, the boss, has to go up personally.
However, Gu Weiqi didn't make a move, and the twenty songs he wrote were simply shocking! When Wang Fuling, Lu Guanting and others watched it, their heads almost crashed for a moment. It is important to know that these songs are all classics, and needless to say, ten English songs are definitely tried and tested classics.
"Dream Chaser" is the representative work of Luo Dayou, the godfather of the Taiwan music scene, and "My Future Is Not a Dream" is also a classic work of the famous singer Zhang Yusheng. "New Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" is a typical Chinese-style song, and the rest of the "Most True Dream", "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" and "Love the Country and Love the Beauty More Beautifully" are all among the best.
Gu Weiqi looked at everyone and said with a smile: "How about everyone, these twenty songs I wrote are okay, right?" ”
"It's not just okay, it's just ...... It's just too good! ”
Wang Fuling exclaimed: "It is no exaggeration to say that these songs are very classic, and any one of them can be used as the title song of an album." And any one of them can definitely make a newcomer popular! ”
"yes, there are so many fine songs, I really don't know how you created them?"
Lu Guanting sighed and said with emotion: "To be honest, I have never served anyone, but now I want to tell you that I have served you." I have to say that you are simply a genius musician who has not met in a hundred years, is difficult to come out of a thousand years, and has no one in ten thousand! ”
Gu Weiqi secretly said "ashamed", and hurriedly said: "Teacher Wang, Brother Lu has praised it, and I just have an occasional gain." Since you guys think these 20 songs are good, let's start recording the album, shall we? I still have a date tonight, and if I miss it, it won't be beautiful. ”
"It's a shame to just record two albums like that. I thought I could release singles one by one. Lu Guanting proposed: "Wait until the single is released, and then put it together into an album." ”
"That's fine." Gu Weiqi nodded and said, "Then let's start recording." ”
Then the crowd began to get busy again. Rao is Gu Weiqi's singing skills are extraordinary, but in order to reach the best level, it still took most of the day to finally record these twenty songs. In order to win people's hearts, after recording the song, Gu Weiqi also invited people from the company to have a meal at the nearby "Fuhua Restaurant" by the way.
Everyone had a hearty meal, especially when they thought of the grand occasion when Gu Weiqi's two albums were sold, they were all very excited. The album is recorded, and all that remains is publicity and mass production. Naturally, Gu Weiqi doesn't have to worry about these anymore, at most he can take time to shoot a few more sets of promotional posters.
The specific publicity details are naturally operated by Zhong Jinghui and others.
After eating, Gu Weiqi and Wang Fuling looked at their watch after they separated, and it was already half past eight, so he asked Fang Lingwei to drive him to the Peninsula Hotel.
Opened on December 11, 1928, The Peninsula was one of the most advanced and luxurious hotels in Asia at the time. At that time, the building was only seven floors and was H-shaped.
After the fall of Hong Kong in World War II, on the evening of 25 December 1941, the Governor of Hong Kong took the Star Ferry to the Peninsula Hotel to sign the instrument of surrender. During the reign of the People's Republic of China, the Peninsula Hotel was requisitioned by the military as a command center.
Since the 1950s, The Peninsula has been known as the "Filmmaker's Café", where many movie stars love to drink afternoon tea. In the 1980s, well-known artists such as Zhang Guorong, Zhong Chuhong, and Zhang Manyu were frequent guests of the hotel. Many upper-class wealthy people also like to spend here.
Seeing that Guan Meiren hadn't come yet, Gu Weiqi found a place by the window in the hall, asked for a pot of tea, and drank it slowly; At the same time, he sorted out the clues, and many of the companies he currently invested in have been handed over to a special person to take care of, basically he doesn't have to worry about it, and the next thing should be to focus on the film company.
Thinking of this, he asked Fang Lingwei to help him register a "Oriental Hollywood International Film Company" tomorrow; At the same time, the "Tang Dynasty Fund" began to quietly and secretly acquire several theaters first. After all, after the movie is made, it is useless to have no place to release it.
However, Gu Weiqi did not plan to make a large-scale acquisition. It must be known that the property market and stock market in Xiangjiang are now booming to the extreme, and citizens in the streets and alleys are talking about stocks everywhere. Even shoes-shiners, taxi drivers, waiters and other classes have joined the ranks of stock speculation.
The well-known HSBC bank has proposed that most companies' share prices deviate from their actual value; There is also an oversupply in the property market, and the price inflation is serious, so you should hold cash instead of speculating in stocks and the property market. However, people did not pay attention to HSBC's kind reminders, but rushed to speculate in stocks and pre-sale properties.
Especially in the past, people speculated on pre-sale properties as a set of hype. And now there is a whole floor, or even an entire building, of hype. Just like the "Golden Gate Building" was hyped and resold several times in just one year. With a history of 100 years, Hongkong Land, the largest British-funded real estate developer known for its stable operation, has lost the Wharf and Golden Gate Building in succession, and has become impetuous.
Hongkong Land has been spending billions of dollars to buy a large amount of sky-high land for the development of new real estate. Hongkong Land, with a market value of more than 8 billion yuan, controls more than 20 billion yuan of capital, but the scale of debt has swelled to 15 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Later, Hongkong Land really paid a heavy price for these impetuous investments - the land price plummeted in 82 years, and the floating loss of land reserves alone caused a loss of more than 3 billion, and in the following years, Hongkong Land was unable to breathe!
Even the largest real estate developer, Hongkong Land, is so impetuous. Not to mention the other funds in the market that speculate on stocks and the property market? People have forgotten the tragic lesson of the 1973 stock market crash!
But all this doesn't matter what Gu Weiqi does, according to his ideas, wait until the real estate plummets in 82 and enters the complete collapse of the real estate industry in 83, and then buy theaters and shops on a large scale. Now I have acquired a few, mainly just in case, for fear that I will not be able to find a theater to release the movie after it is made, which will not be good.
Fang Lingwei quickly wrote down his instructions, and then went to the side to make a phone call, and fed back Gu Weiqi's request to the "Tang Dynasty Fund" as soon as possible.
