Gu Weiqi smiled slightly: "How is Sister Li?" Are these songs I just created still in your eyes? ”

"Archie, you are really a once-in-a-century prodigy in the music industry, these songs are all superb, to be honest, I like it very much."

Deng Lijun told the truth and emphasized: "Especially this song 'I only care about you'. Archie, why don't you sell me these songs? I'm planning to hold a few solo concerts at Lee Stage, and if I have these songs, it will make my upcoming solo concerts even more successful. ”

"I said Sister Li, as long as you join my Tianlai Company, I can create twenty or thirty songs like this for you every year. Even if you want to, the Grammys won't be able to get it for you. As for selling it to you...... To be honest, I'm not short of money, what I value is Sister Li, you! ”

"What? Take a Grammy? ”

Xu Guanjie, who was close to these words, also heard this, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, although he didn't see the songs in Deng Lijun's hand clearly. But with the two songs "Dream Chaser" and "This is My Life", it can be seen that Gu Weiqi's talent in composing songs is extraordinary, so he said: "Archie, you are so good at writing songs, can you help my brother write two?" ”

"If my brother is willing to join my company, let alone two songs, even 20 songs can be done by my brother in minutes. It's not impossible to even let you win a Grammy. As long as you are willing to nod your head, I promise to push your singing career to a new height, and confirm the name of 'God of Songs'! ”

It would be false to say that Xu Guanjie was not impressed, but after thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Brother, I also want to join the Legend of Nature, but I just renewed my contract with Polygram half a year ago, but now I can't change jobs, let's talk about it when the contract expires in the future." ”

"I'll go, it's Polygram again!" Gu Weiqi shook his head speechlessly, and said, "Then let's talk about it, I'll think about it when I go back and make two songs for you." ”

Although Gu Weiqi is reluctant to admit it, he has to say that in the early 80s, Polygram deserved to be the largest record company in Asia and even the world. Its company's development strategy is to tap into the most popular local singers and turn them into international superstars. Because of this development idea, Polygram always appears to be a star-studded company!

Especially in Asia, Xiangjiang and other places, Polygram has very obvious resources for popular singers. Take Xiangjiang as an example, Polygram Company can be said to be holding a good handful of cards in its hands - Tan Yonglin, Xu Guanjie, Deng Lijun, Xu Xiaofeng and so on.

With such a luxurious lineup, not only the local music companies in Hong Kong are far from being the opponents of Polygram. Even other multinational record companies are far less operating than Polygram.

Of course, with international giants such as Warner and EMI, they are also gradually paying attention to the Asian market. For example, in recent years, EMI has begun to discover Cantonese singers by holding various music competitions in Xiangjiang, obviously preparing to exert its strength in the Cantonese music scene and take a share of the record market.

As for Huaxing Records, a local company in Hong Kong, its business at that time was mainly record distribution, and it had not officially signed a singer. However, Huaxing Records is also ready to move. Of course, Ethereal Legend International Music is a newly opened company, and it doesn't even have a signed singer. Naturally, it did not arouse the jealousy of those giants.

Because the record industry is not only about the production of records, but also about the company's comprehensive ability to promote and distribute.

Polygram, Warner, EMI and other multinational music companies with deep development background, with distribution and promotion networks in Asia, Europe, America, Australia, Africa and other regions. Therefore, they can not only cultivate and discover singers, but also create international superstars!

At present, the company is just a small record company, and even its own distribution channels are not perfect. Therefore, the major record industry giants are not hostile to Tian Lai. However, with the hot sales of several singles by Gu Weiqi, it has attracted the attention of these giants. But I didn't pay much attention to it. But three or five years later, when these music divas such as Anita Mui, Chen Huixian and Ye Qianwen really grow up, they will have a headache.

At this time, Xu Guanjie smiled and said: "That's okay, what you said, I'm waiting for your song, you can't talk and don't count." ”

Gu Weiqi said solemnly: "Don't worry, Brother Xu, I have always been a man of my word." ”

At the same time, Phoenix TV Company, Li Zhuangzhuang knocked on the door of Huang Xizhao's office, rushed in and said excitedly: "Good news, Mr. Huang, the ratings of the live broadcast reached 85 points, a record high." Many viewers asked for a replay! ”

"Then arrange a replay, the singing contest has reached a rating of 85 points, and the ratings of the final of the children's talent contest to be held tomorrow night should not be bad."

Huang Xizhao said resolutely: "Inform Mr. Zhou Liang to immediately increase the publicity offensive of the 'Millionaire' program, and officially start broadcasting this program in a week." This time, we have to go all out and completely defeat our old opponent! After being suppressed by them for so long, it's time for us to take a boost. ”

"Okay, Mr. Huang!"

……

In a spacious conference room of the wireless station, the huge conference table was full of people, the chairman of the board of directors of the wireless board, Shao Daheng, sat in the center, on his left was the concubine Fang Yihua, on the right was the right-hand man Wang Tianlin, and the heads of other departments sat on both sides, and they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere.

"Phoenix's singing contest live broadcast reached 85 ratings? Advertisers are asking to end their partnerships? ”

Listening to the report, Rao is tycoon is not young, but he is still so angry that he only slaps the table with a sinking face, and scolds: "Hit the street, what are you all eating?" Usually they look quite shrewd, why can't they work at critical moments? Publicity, increase the publicity of our 'Rookie Singing Contest', be sure to win the ratings! ”

A middle-aged man with a fat head and a bald head wiped a cold sweat and said, "I thought it was ......"

"Why do you think so?" Shao Tycoon looked at the man and said in a deep voice: "If you have something to say, let it go, don't grind and chirp, swallow and spit out!" ”

"I thought it would be better to increase the publicity than to increase the investment in bonuses."

The bald middle-aged man said in a hurried tone: "You must know that FTV has invested tens of millions of dollars in order to hold this event, and the champion alone has a prize of one million Hong Kong dollars, and with such a big gimmick, it naturally attracts the attention of the audience." But our company only invested 2 million, which feels too ......."

"The little family is angry? Hum. ”

Shao Tycoon narrowed his eyes and stared at the middle-aged man: "Wang Cai, then how much do you think is considered atmospheric?" 10 million? No problem, I can invest 10 million Hong Kong dollars in you, and this activity will be handed over to you now. If you can't reach the rating of 85 points in the finals, you will immediately roll up the old man and get out! ”

The bald king wiped the cold sweat on his head and stammered, "I, I, I ......."

"That's it."

Shao Tycoon waved his hand to stop what Wang Cai was about to say, and then looked at a woman who still had charm and said: "Fang Ling, regarding the termination of the contract by advertisers, your advertising department should increase its public relations capabilities and try not to terminate the contract, even if it is a little lower advertising fees, it doesn't matter." The key is to never let them run to the FTV, you know? ”

The woman hurriedly said: "Knowing the chairman, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job of public relations and appease the advertisers." ”

"Chairman, I see that the contestants in the finals of the FTV Singing Contest have good singing skills, and they have great potential and value for training. Now our Huaxing Records has not officially signed singers, so I suggest signing them. ”

Shao Tycoon said angrily: "Since you think that people have great potential and value for training, can't the person in charge of the competition on the FTV side see it?" "The implication, don't bother with that effort, to be able to enter the finals, it is estimated that it has already been signed.

"Chairman, now that the 'Millionaire' program has been promoted for many days, should we also have a 'Millionaire' program to fight with them? Although we lost a chip in the singing contest, maybe we can increase the ratings on this entertainment show. ”

"Millionaire? The gimmick is big enough, but this kind of money-burning behavior is not the way to operate for a long time. Besides, if someone makes a 'millionaire', let's also make a 'millionaire', what is this like? You don't have to be ashamed, and the old man will feel shameless. There is an old saying that it is better to be still than to be still. ”

Shao Tycoon took a deep breath and said slowly: "I have been in the entertainment industry for almost half a century, and I have long seen it clearly, the entertainment industry, just like stocks, has ups and downs, which is normal." The key is not to panic, as long as everyone is stable, there will be no big problem. ”

Everyone nodded yes. However, some young people with strong ambitions and forge ahead can't help but sigh secretly in their hearts, stable and good, but if they stick to the rules, then it will not work!

At the same time, in a spacious conference room of Asia Television, at the head of the long conference table sat an old man in a suit and leather shoes, over half a hundred years old, with gray hair, but still very energetic -- he was the boss of the Far Eastern Bank, that is, the new owner of Asia Television, Qiu Degeng.

On both sides of the conference table, sitting on the left side of the head is Mai Baoxiong in the former "Lishi Three Heroes", and on the right is Zhang Zhengfu. In addition to the two of them, there were twenty or thirty top managers of the television station.

Speaking of Mai Baoxiong, he is definitely a well-known figure in the Xiangjiang film and television circle, and after entering Lishi that year, Huang Xizhao boldly promoted him to be the producer. Sure enough, he lived up to his expectations and filmed many popular dramas, such as the "Silkworm Transformation" that overwhelmed the wireless, which was produced by this person.

Later, because of the acquisition of the Australian consortium, he left Lishi in a rage because of the mess. Later, he filmed a number of popular and popular movies, such as "Provincial and Hong Kong Soldiers", "Beautiful Girls" and so on.

And this person is notoriously bold in filming, it is rumored that he threw a child into the pool to make him struggle when filming "Ten Strange Cases", and almost drowned the child; In order to shoot the "flying corpse on a foggy night", when the train came, the lights suddenly turned on and the "corpse" was thrown, which scared the driver to brake sharply and the train almost derailed; Wang Zhong jumped from the crane while filming the "big husband", causing the alarm bell of Ocean Park to ring and disturbing the police investigation.

There are many such bad deeds, but this kind of fighting for life is indeed in exchange for high ratings, and the "wireless" is defeated and retreated, so that the wireless producer strongman Wang Tianlin and others are helpless.

In 1961, he entered the mass media as a night editor of the Hong Kong branch of Agence France-Presse, where he was responsible for editing and providing Chinese and international news to local and regional news organizations. During his decades of experience in mass media, he has served as a journalist, news photographer, news editor, television programme producer, head of television news, director of television and radio programmes, and senior executive positions in major media organizations in Hong Kong and overseas.

After Qiu Degeng took over Lishi, in order to increase the ratings, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, and Sangu Maolu finally invited these two talents over.

Qiu Degeng looked around at everyone and said slowly: "You all know that our Asian TV ratings have fallen sharply now. Today, we will gather everyone together for this meeting, mainly to discuss how to raise the ratings. If you have any good ideas, you may wish to say them. ”

Mai Baoxiong said: "Uncle Qiu, the current situation of our ATV is that there is a serious loss of talent, so I think it is imperative to stabilize people's hearts first." As for the ratings, as long as a good program is planned, it is not difficult to improve the production of well-made dramas. ”

"Not bad." Zhang Zhengfu nodded approvingly and said, "In order to replenish the lost talents as soon as possible, I think it is necessary to increase the investment funds for the training course." ”

"No problem, as long as I can increase the ratings, I can increase my investment." Qiu Degeng said cheerfully.

Then everyone talked about it and expressed their opinions.
