Chapter 251: Rolling Stone Records (Ask for subscription, ask for rewards, ask for collection)
When he came to Taiwan for the second time, Han Jin was first taken to Rolling Stone Records, and met the company's managers Duan Zhongyi and Duan Zhongtan brothers, as well as the company's veterans Luo Dayou, Qi Yu and other singers.
To be honest, in the early 80s, Rolling Stone Records was just an inconspicuous small company in the Taiwanese music scene, and its singers only had two or three big cats and kittens such as Luo Dayou, Qi Yu, Pan Yueyun, and Li Jianfu.
The real top in Taiwan are Haishan Records and Golin Records, which have many singers and talents, such as Liu Wenzheng, Feng Feifei, You Ya, Cai Qin and so on.
However, Rolling Stone Records is young and enterprising, plus there are well-known music producers such as Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng, and Xiao Worm to join. Within a few years, it has become one of the leading record companies in Taiwan with unlimited potential.
Seeing Luo Dayou for the first time, Han Jin couldn't help but feel excited. This is the godfather of the Chinese music scene, leading the trend of Taiwan and even the Chinese music scene.
The music is full of humanistic care and thinking about the world, and the work is very profound, even if I listen to it again after 30 years, I can still be moved by his singing. That's the biggest difference between an artist and a singer.
Luo Dayou and the others couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw Han Jin. His name is known to everyone in Taiwan.
Taiwan is very close to Japan, and it has been colonized by Japan for a long time before, so it is deeply influenced by Japanese culture, and many Taiwanese are even more proud of Harry.
And Han Jin has achieved very good results in the Japanese music scene, so he is also loved by many young people in Taiwan. However, when he became popular in Hong Kong before, he was not very famous in Taiwan.
Luo Dayou and others can also be said to have admired him for a long time. There are not many Chinese singers who can succeed in Japan. Deng Lijun counts one, Ouyang Feifei counts one, and Weng Qianyu counts one...... Therefore, Han Jin is even more rare and precious.
Although it was already known that he had just turned eighteen this year, when everyone actually saw him in person, people couldn't help but be a little surprised, he was too young.
Luo Dayou is also a musical talent, but he only began to join the student band at the age of 18, began to engage in music creation at the age of 22, and became a record producer at the age of 27...... Compared to Han Jin. There are still some shortcomings.
"Mr. Han. Let me introduce you to you, our company's music producer and singer Luo Dayou, singer Pan Yueyun, singer Qi Yu ......" Duan Zhongyi introduced Han Jin one by one.
"Hello. Hello. Hello...... I have really admired the name for a long time~" Han Jin smiled and shook hands one by one.
Everyone present couldn't help but be stunned when they saw him speak Chinese so fluently. In my impression, apart from the older generation of Hong Kong people, no young Hong Kong person can speak Chinese so well.
"Mr. Han, you know how to speak Chinese, that's really good." Duan Zhong Tan smiled in surprise.
It would be best if Han Jin could speak Chinese. Everyone is easy to communicate, no need to talk about chickens and ducks, the bull's head is not the horse's mouth.
"Yes, I've learned a little bit before." Han Jin smiled and said, "I'm sorry, because there is a drama to be filmed, so I have been delayed for so long, and I really can't go." ”
"Mr. Han doesn't have to blame himself, we understand." Duan Zhongyi said with a smile.
Han Jin nodded, "Thank you, thank you...... Then I think since I'm already here, let's stop delaying and start recording tomorrow, okay? ”
"Well, don't be in such a hurry. Mr. Han, don't you need to take a break, or let's play in Taiwan first? Duan Zhong Tan said in surprise.
It was the first time he had seen a big-name singer work so actively. In my impression, which big-name singer is not willing to work in the recording studio if the record company begs his grandfather to tell his grandmother? And even if it is a recording, it is a variety of requirements, you have to prepare tea and snacks, you have to prepare supper coffee, and from time to time you have to lose your temper and record, one by one, as if you are the emperor.
"No need, no need, when you're done, it's never too late to play when you have time." Han Jin waved his hand and smiled. After he was in a hurry, he went to see his senior sister, how could he have time to spend time at Rolling Stone Records.
Seeing that Han Jin was so good at talking, Duan Zhongyi and Duan Zhongtan brothers glanced at each other and couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
Their Rolling Stone Records is just a small company, to be honest, it is really unimaginable to invite Han Jin to join, it is like a pie falling from the sky.
Because Han Jin's popularity in Taiwan is quite high now, it is not an exaggeration to say that even Feng Feifei, Liu Wenzheng, and Deng Lijun are just like that.
So when they approached Huaxing Records, the two brothers had no bottom in their hearts. Because Gelin Records, Haishan Records, and Fumao Records have higher conditions than them. But in the end, I didn't expect that it was their small company that came out on top, and it was really a broken glass for a while.
But then, I can't help but worry a little, that is, will it be a "big bully"?
After all, Rolling Stone Records is just a small record, and in order to make up enough for the signing fee, it really even caught up with the old book. If Han Jin plays a big name at that time, does not cooperate with the work, and refuses to fulfill the contract, then the loss of Rolling Stone Records will be great.
Therefore, when Han Jin stayed in Hong Kong to film, people in Taiwan's music circle sneered at Rolling Stone Records, thinking that they were slammed by others this time. Holding a hot potato with cold hands, I can't eat it, I can't hold it steadily, I can't throw it away, that's called a grievance.
In the past two months, it has been really difficult for the Duan brothers.
It's easy to look forward to the stars, and the moon is looking forward to Han Jin, I was worried about how difficult it will be for him to serve, but I didn't expect the result to be so unexpected.
"Hey, why is it different from what I imagined?" The Duan brothers glanced at him suspiciously.
However, Han Jin's ability to take the initiative to ask for work is indeed a good thing for them.
"In that case, let's start tomorrow. I don't know what songs Mr. Han's first Chinese album plans to release? The Duan brothers asked.
"Oh, I just brought it all, you can help me take a look." Han Jin said, opened his suitcase, took out a copy of Wen Jiàn from it, and handed it to the Duan brothers.
The Duan brothers held back the excitement in their hearts. I took the text over and opened it with a trembling hand, and I saw that there was a thick pile of music scores inside.
Luo Dayou and the others also came over curiously and watched together.
This is a song written by the legendary creative genius Han Jin, and I will listen to it a lot, but the original manuscript is the first time I have seen it. Each piece of paper here may be worth 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, and it makes people a little short of breath and blood rushing when they think about it.
"Getaway", "Love", "My Youth Is Not a Dream", "I Believe", "Lovelorn Front Alliance", "Red Dragonfly", "Green Apple Paradise", "Love Fights to Win", "I Am a Wolf from the North", "True Hero", "Backgammon", "About Winter", "First Time", "Fairy Tale", "When I Wake Up", "Dream Chaser", ......
Every time I read a page, everyone's breath was short, and I saw the end. Almost all of them fainted.
"Goo~" The Duan brothers swallowed with difficulty. His eyes looked at Han Jin in a daze, "Mr. Han...... These songs...... You can't have created all of them, right? ”
Han Jin smiled, "Of course, what." Any questions? ”
"Oh. No. There is no ......" The Duan brothers hurriedly waved their hands and said, joke, there is still a problem with such a good song?! Who said there was a problem. That's what he has to do.
"Since it's no problem, let's choose 12 songs from them to be the songs of my first album." Han Jin nodded with a smile and said, "I don't know what's popular in Taiwan right now, but I need you to help me choose." ”
"Oh, good, good, no problem, no problem...... "Brother Duan hurriedly said, "Dayou, you can help you choose." Dayou......"
Luo Dayou was looking at Han Jin in surprise at the moment, and he really wanted to get into his mind to see what was inside.
At such a young age, only eighteen years old, how much social experience can you have, how much knowledge can you master, how can you write so many good songs?! Could it be that he is really a musical genius that is rare to see in a century?!
"Mr. Luo, do you think there is something wrong?" Han Jin saw him looking at himself in a daze, and asked with a smile.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay...... Luo Dayou hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I really didn't expect Mr. Han to be so young, but he has such an amazing creative talent, it's really breathtaking, and I'm willing to bow down." ”
"Mr. Luo has won the award, in fact, these are just saliva songs, but Mr. Luo's songs moved me very much." Han Jin said with a smile, "Like "Childhood", "Love Song 199o", "Zhihu Ye", "Orphans of Asia", etc., are all touching and good songs. ”
Seeing him respect himself so much, Luo Dayou couldn't help but be very happy.
"By the way, when filming in Hong Kong, Sister Zhang always mentioned you to me. It's a real honor for me to be in the same company as you this time. Han Jin said with a smile.
As soon as he mentioned Zhang Aijia, Luo Dayou immediately showed a happy smile on his face.
"My little sister also called me yesterday and said that I am very happy to cooperate with you and wants me to take good care of you in Taiwan." Luo Dayou also said with a smile.
With mutual friends, the distance between the two has quickly narrowed, and they feel a lot more familiar than before.
Luo Dayou then helped him choose twelve songs, most of which were inspirational songs such as "My Future Is Not a Dream", "I Believe", "True Heroes", and "Love Will Win", but for love songs such as "Love", "Lovelorn Front Alliance", and "The First Time", they were all put away first.
"At present, Taiwanese society is still relatively conservative, not as open as you Hong Kong. Songs like this kind of love and love, don't sing them for the time being. Otherwise, it would be a bit bad to go back and the whole record was banned. Luo Dayou explained.
Han Jin nodded, he also knew that in the early 80s, martial law was still in force in Taiwan, and he was in charge of the literary prison.
At that time, the Taiwan authorities implemented a song censorship system, and songs that were not passed through guò had to be revised to meet the requirements before they could be published. Censored songs were held weekly, from 1979 to December 1987, for a total of 32o periods, more than 20,000 songs were reviewed, of which 1/6 were untouched, and more than 93o songs were banned.
Deng Lijun's "He Rijun Comes Again" was interpreted as looking forward to the arrival of the Eighth Route Army, which was "a left-leaning song for bandit propaganda"; Yao Surong's masterpiece "Don't Go Home Tonight", because "home" represents the big 6, and not going home violates the counteroffensive big 6 policy, so it is banned; Qi Yu's "Olive Tree" was also banned 28 years ago, on the grounds that the theme awareness was not obvious; Luo Dayou's "Lukang Town", the lyrics were originally "Taipei is not my home", but it was forced to be changed to "This is not my home".
"Then sing these songs." Han Jin smiled and said, "Actually, it's banned, I came to Taiwan to play a few years ago, and I heard a group of young people on the street using a cassette machine to play my pirated cassette tapes from "Dancing Street", and they danced along while listening." ”
"In fact, the authorities also know that it can't be banned, and the more it is banned, the more interested it becomes." The Duan brothers smiled, "But the superficial work still has to be done, otherwise won't the authorities feed those officials in vain?" ”
When Han Jin heard him say this, he couldn't help but smile, "I see! ”
After deciding on the song to be sung, Han Jin took out the arranged tune and asked Rolling Stone Records to produce the accompaniment tape.
Seeing the thick pile of music scores that Han Jin took out, even Luo Dayou was a little ashamed. He is still good at writing lyrics and composing, but he is not very good at arranging, after all, he is not a professional musician and lacks relevant experience.
Because it is impossible to record the accompaniment tape in one day, Han Jin was first arranged to rest in a hotel in Taipei.
After he returned to the room, he called Chen Yulian and asked her to come out for dinner. (To be continued!)
