Chapter 10 Experimental Theatre Company

Rolling Stone is actually not as tragic as Tao Xiaoqing said.

The focus of the dispute between Wu Chuchu and the Duan brothers is the company's music style and future development direction, as for the daily operation of the past two months, it is normal.

Wu Chuchu started by singing folk songs, prefers folk style, and believes that music is an entertainment and leisure thing, while the Duan brothers started a rock magazine, and are deeply influenced by Western rock music, and have a humanistic thinking and rebellious temperament in their bones, and want to make some music that is meaningful to society.

The concept is not compatible, in fact, it is not a big problem, just as Shen Chong came to Taipei last time to mention yì, the company is not short of money, and it can be two-pronged, each doing its own thing, so in the past two months, both sides have made an album, but neither has a record line.

The crux of the matter is that Wu Chuchu believes that the album that the Duan brothers and Luo Dayou have made up together is too deviant, and if it works, it will definitely cause an uproar in the society, and it is very likely that he will be heavily fined by the Taiwan government, or even seized, which will affect the operation of the entire company and implicate him.

So he teamed up with Peng Guohua to try his best to prevent Luo Dayou's album from working, and the shares of the foursome are basically equal, Luo Dayou's album can't work, so naturally he can't think about it......

So I can only wait for the major shareholder Shen Chong to make the final ruling.

In the newly built audition room of Rolling Stone, Shen Chong first listened to Luo Dayou's album demo, and after listening to it, he basically agreed with Wu Chuchu's judgment.

Because of his horizontal insertion, Rolling Stone was established a year ahead of schedule, whether it is the Duan brothers or Luo Dayou, they are all younger and more idealistic, and the music they make, whether it is the criticism of the lyrics or the impact of the music, has produced the famous "Zhihu Ye".

"Zhihu Ye" was performed in 1982, which caused a sensation in Taiwan at that time, and there was a sound of verbal criticism.

And in 1979, in the context of the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the Taiwan authorities are extremely sensitive, and any disturbance in society must be suppressed with all their might.

"The album is done with a very high quality." After listening to this, Shen Chong said after groaning for a while: "If it can be done, it is equivalent to dropping an atomic bomb in the Chinese music scene." ”

"So to speak." Duan Zhongtan hurriedly asked, "Mr. Shen agreed?" ”

"It's okay, but not in Taiwan." Shen Chong shook his head and said; "I agree with Mr. Wu's judgment, if you go to Taiwan, there will inevitably be big trouble, either hide for a period of time and wait until the time is ripe, or take it to Hong Kong and change the name to a fake name."

Duan Zhongtan and Luo Dayou glanced at each other, and their disappointment was beyond words.

"Hong Kong is now the world of Cantonese songs, and we do Taiwanese music. Duan Zhongyi asked, "Mr. Shen, you said that you have been hiding in the snow for a period of time, how long?" ”

"I don't know exactly how long it will take." Shen Chong smiled and comforted: "When Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled, his subordinates built a lot of grain and slowly became the king. Now it's the cold winter season in Taiwan, and everything is not suitable, so you have to wait, but you don't have to worry, I'm very satisfied with this album, and I like it very much, and you can make whatever kind of music you want to make in the future! I will continue to support it, store the goods first, and then release them when spring comes, and then blow up the Taiwanese music industry upside down. ”

"But if we don't do anything, how can the cold winter pass?" Duan Zhongtan frowned and said: "We want to make music that can produce our own voice, just to let those people in the Kuomintang know that their methods are unpopular. ”

"Music is music, what do you do when it has anything to do with politics?" Wu Chuchu said on the side: "Music is for appreciation, not for demagogy. ”

Duan Zhongyi immediately retorted: "If the music we make is not beneficial to society, then it is better not to do it!" (Note 1)

"Don't fight, don't fight." Shen Chong hurriedly played a round and said; "Whether it's doing business or engaging in doctrine, you have to pay attention to means, all of us here don't want Luo Dayou to become the second Yang Zujun."

Everyone is silent, Yang Zujun is Taiwan's first generation of folk singers, last year Xinge Records released her eponymous album "Yang Zujun", two months later, was ordered by the Taiwan government to take back and destroy, all songs were banned, so that she has stayed away from the music scene since then.

The lessons of the past have to be guarded against.

"I'll listen to Mr. Wu's album again."

Wu Chuchu has not been idle in the past two months, he recruited Qi Yu, the double champion of the "Golden Rhyme Award" and "Folk Style" in Taiwan's two major music competitions in 1978, and made a very high-level folk style record.

Qi Yu's singing skills, from the beginning of his debut, have been highly respected, plus Wu Chuchu and Peng Guohua personally made zuò, the melody is beautiful, the lyrics are moving, there is no fireworks, it is pleasing to the ear, and it is of great artistic appreciation value.

The album as a whole continues the current popular campus folk song style, fresh and natural, without a trace of edges and corners, there is no need to worry about the government's reaction, nor do you have to worry about the market's affordability, and the profit can be expected.

"This one does." After listening to it, Shen Chong made a final decision and exclaimed: "The song is well written, the singing is good, and the lyrics and songs are good." ”

When Wu Chuchu heard this, he was overjoyed.

Duan Zhongtan was very unhappy, he thought about it for a while, and said, "Mr. Shen, you look at our album, can you do it on a small scale?" ”

"If you want to play, you can play big, and there is no point in doing it in a small area." Shen Chong waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, Luo Dayou's album, even after three or five years, is still an atomic bomb and will not fail." ”

"But this album can't, what are we going to do now?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to say." Shen Chong crossed his hands, sat up straight, and said, "Since you have very strict differences about the company's business philosophy, I think it's time to separate." ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

Shen Chong's plan to separate the family was to imitate Golden Harvest's satellite system, and he took the infrastructure such as the recording studio and tape factory under his own control, and then took a stake in the new company of Rolling Stone and Wu Chuchu, making them satellite subsidiaries that were only responsible for the production of Zuò records, so that they could not only operate independently, but also share resources and mutual benefit.

This plan was extremely advantageous to the Duan brothers and Wu Chuchu, who were not well funded, so the separation plan went very smoothly, and a preliminary division agreement was reached soon.

……

"This is where the Cultivator Yàn Theater is located?" Shen Chong looked at the building in front of him and said, "How does it look like a church?" ”

"The church sponsors, of course, like a church." Zhang Aijia put the car keys into her handbag and said, "Let's go, my friend must be in a hurry." ”

"You hide this friend who loves stage plays so tightly." Shen Chong asked as he walked: "Is she really a beautiful woman, she can captivate the country and the city?" ”

"Guess what." Zhang Aijia smiled slyly and said, "You make a movie magazine, can't you guess how many female stars in Taiwan will come?" ”

"Lin Qingxia?"

Zhang Aijia snorted and said angrily: "Those unscrupulous media, for fear that the world will not be chaotic, hype up Singapore's affairs every day, she can't hide, how can she come out to watch the stage play at this time." ”

"Oh, too."

When Lin Qingxia went to Singapore to participate in the Asian Film Festival in July, she was exposed by the media, saying that she committed suicide by taking medicine because of emotional problems, and the trouble had not subsided.

Zhang Aijia once acted in "Dream of Red Mansions" with Lin Qingxia, one played Daiyu and the other played Baoyu, and the two had a good relationship, so they were very unhappy with her and hated the media hype.

But this matter has nothing to do with Shen Chong, he still has no chance to see Lin Qingxia, and his magazine does not report this kind of lace news, Zhang Aijia's map cannon can't beat him.

It's none of his business, hanging high, so he continues to guess leisurely.

"Lin Fengjiao?"

"How could she possibly be interested in a stage play." Zhang Aijia led the way in front, she walked up the stairs and said; "Could it be that in Taiwan, only the two of them are great beauties?"

"Erlin and Erqin, famous all over the world, who doesn't know their names." Shen Chong smiled and said; "It's not them, is it Zhen Zhen?"

"Sister Zhen Zhen is in trouble now, which is bigger than Qingxia, will she come out to watch the stage play?" Zhang Aijia sneered and said, "Whoever you look at has more reports, just guess whom?" ”

"Give me a hint." Shen Chong said with a smile: "There are as many Taiwanese female stars as stars in the sky, how can I guess them one by one." ”

"Okay." Zhang Aijia stood in front of the corridor and said, "Anyway, you will see her right away, so I will give you a hint, she has been on the cover of your magazine." ”

Shen Chong's heart moved, and he suddenly said, "It turned out to be Hu Yinmeng." ”

"Everyone has seen it, and you guessed it, but it's really dull."

It's quite sluggish indeed......

Hu Yinmeng is known as Taiwan's first intellectual beauty, born in a famous family, first studied at Fu Jen University, a famous university in Taiwan, and then went to the United States to study.

Shen Chong didn't think of her for a while, which was reasonable.

Hu Yinmeng's appearance and temperament are not inferior to Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao, who are famous in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and they are the dream lovers of Taiwanese youth in the seventies, but unfortunately after entering the eighties, Taiwanese films have completely fallen, and her exhibition in Hong Kong is not very smooth, and she died early, lacking heavyweight masterpieces, so in the future, Shen Chong still knew all kinds of gossip about Li Ao, and only then did she know her existence.

Hu Yinmeng was in the prime of his youth at this time, and his demeanor was dazzling, and after Shen Chong saw it, he only thought of four words in his mind - pearl round and jade.

It's a pity that such a beauty was ruined by Li Ao......

After Zhang Aijia's introduction, Shen Chong held her soft and boneless hand, and he was guilty in his heart.

"Mr. Shen, this is Dr. Wu Jingji." Hu Yinmeng elegantly introduced a middle-aged man with glasses next to him, "He is the artistic director of the Yàn Troupe. ”

"Hello Dr. Wu."

"Hello Mr. Shen."

"This is the main actor of the Cultivator Xin Shi Yàn Troupe, Jin Shijie, we all call him Jinbao."

Shen Chong immediately put Hu Yinmeng behind, he held the hand of this thin young man in old clothes, and said with great enthusiasm; "Teacher Jin, hello, hello."
