Chapter 63: Tang Dynasty Records
Although he is not as crazy and enthusiastic as Japanese and Korean fans, the situation is not as pessimistic as Gu Chen imagined, and his trip to Europe and the United States was generally quite successful, with many signing sessions and fan meetings held in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, Italy, Milan, Italy and other places have attracted a large number of fans to participate, and entertainment media from various countries have also given extensive reports. Of course, both the enthusiasm of the fans and the intensity of media attention are far from those of an international superstar like Michael Jackson.
On the contrary, the Hong Kong media, which are thousands of miles away, are always paying attention to Gu Chen's situation, and reports about Gu Chen can be seen in the newspapers almost every day.
In late March, Gu Chen, who ended his global publicity trip, returned to Hong Kong, and the promotion of "Seventeen-Year-Old Rainy Season" came to an end temporarily, just as the media's attention gradually shifted, another blockbuster news broke out in the Hong Kong music scene - this news is still related to Gu Chen:
He Chaoqiong's record company, which has been under low-key preparation, finally announced that it would officially open on March 28 and be named Tang Dynasty Records. With her family's influence in Hong Kong and her own connections in the circle, He Chaoqiong invited a large number of Hong Kong stars to come to the opening day.
This is nothing unusual, and now there are dozens of large and small record companies in Hong Kong, one more is not more, and one less is not less, but it is strange that the record company opened by He Chaoqiong is actually named 'Tang Dynasty', which is the same name as Gu Chen's film company, which has to make people think about it, there are all kinds of speculations, some are reliable and some are unreliable. At the opening press conference of Tang Dynasty Records held on March 28, He Chaoqiong smiled and said in the face of the dense reporters in the audience: "First of all, on behalf of Tang Dynasty Records, I would like to welcome reporters and friends to participate in today's opening press conference, of course, thank you very much for taking the time to come to the ceremony. I think you must be very curious about why my record company was named 'Tang Dynasty', and the reason is actually very simple, because from the beginning, the record company was established by me and Chen Shao with 50% of the investment. ”
Although the reporters in the audience had already guessed the rough idea from the time Gu Chen and He Chaoqiong appeared together, when it was confirmed by He Chaoqiong himself, it still caused a lot of commotion in the press gallery - Gu Chen and He Chaoqiong jointly established their own record company, what about Polygram?
Gu Chen, who was standing next to He Chaoqiong, moved his mouth closer to the microphone, coughed, and immediately attracted the reporter's attention, and then said: "I heard everyone's discussion just now, I think I need to explain about the contract with Polygram, the contract I signed with PolyGene belongs to the cooperation sharing model, the popular point will be that I am responsible for writing and singing, PolyGene is responsible for production and distribution, and the income obtained is shared proportionally, if necessary, either party has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract." , only need to pay a certain amount of liquidated damages, as for the amount of this liquidated damages, I will not say. In other words, Polygram and I have only been in partnership from beginning to end, and there is no one to betray anyone, let alone the 'white-eyed wolf' that a reporter just said. ”
Gu Chen's eyes seemed to be absent and glanced towards the right side of the press stand, and the male reporter who just said that Gu Chen was a 'white-eyed wolf' immediately lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Of course, I am grateful to PolyGram, and if it weren't for PolyGram, I would have had to delay my success for several years, but I have the right to choose a path that is more suitable for my development. However, although my contract with PolyGram has been terminated, it does not mean that the cooperation between us is over, and I discussed with Miss He long before the official opening of the company, and decided to hand over all the distribution rights of the records released by Tang Dynasty Records except Hong Kong to PolyGram. ”
Giving PolyGram the right to issue except for Hong Kong is tantamount to voluntarily giving up a part of the profits that should have belonged to him. Everyone understands this truth, but Gu Chen and He Chaoqiong are also helpless, with the influence of the He family in Hong Kong, it is no problem for the records under the Tang Dynasty Records to be released in Hong Kong, but if the scope is expanded to the world, it is another matter, without a global network like PolyGram (Hong Kong Polygram is only a regional branch of Polygram), the record distribution will definitely be half the effort.
Of course, this kind of cooperation is only temporary, during the cooperation with Polygram, Tang Dynasty Film Company will slowly understand PolyGram's marketing model, and then gradually establish its own marketing network in various parts of the world, and when the time is ripe, it is when the Tang Dynasty kicks Polygram away.
The reporters in the audience either nodded secretly, or whispered to each other, or remained silent, but judging from their looks, most of them accepted Gu Chen's words. Indeed, there is no feast in the world, and no one has the right to let Gu Chen work for Polygram forever, which is neither realistic nor humane.
Gu Chen stood on the stage and looked at the looks of all the reporters, seeing that the goal had basically been achieved, he glanced at He Chaoqiong, and then said to the audience: "That's all I have to say, now return the microphone to Miss He, she still has very important news to announce." ”
He Chaoqiong said: "Just now Chen Shao has made the contract with Polygram very clear, and now I will announce one thing: Tang Dynasty Records has officially signed four singers before the opening, some of them should be familiar to everyone, and some are newcomers who have just debuted, but they will all be the objects of the company's support in the future." As soon as a month later, their first album to join the Tang Dynasty will be officially released to meet you, and the title song will be created by Chen Shao himself, so please look forward to it. ”
As soon as the news was announced, the audience was boiling again, and they were talking about who these four people were, and they were so lucky to get the opportunity to create the title song by Chen Shao himself, if they didn't want to be popular. A few clever people had already looked at the unfamiliar men and women sitting in the guest seats in front of the press box.
As Zeng Zhiwei, who was pulled away by Gu Chen as a guest host, announced the start of the reporter's question time, the audience raised a hand.
"You, that beautiful woman from Taiwan, yes, it's you." The first reporter Zeng Zhiwei pointed out was a female reporter from Taiwan's China Times.
"I want to ask Chen Shao, since the last time a reporter photographed you and Miss He traveling to Taiping Mountain at night, a reporter photographed you driving to the villa area where Miss He lived in the evening the day before yesterday and didn't leave until the early hours of the morning, does this indicate that you and Miss He are in the middle of a show."
Gu Chen made a helpless gesture and said: "Your imagination is really too rich, I just went to Miss He to discuss some company matters that day, but I accidentally forgot the time, yes, it's as simple as that, it's not as complicated as you think." ”
This female reporter is obviously not so easy to dismiss, and she was about to ask immediately, at this time Zeng Zhiwei's role was revealed, and he was seen to speak one step ahead of the female reporter: "Okay, next, please ask this beauty to abide by the rules of the venue, and now ask the friend of "Oriental Daily" to ask questions." ”
"I would like to ask Miss He Chaoqiong, can you introduce the five rookie singers?"
He Chaoqiong smiled slightly and said, "Of course, they can sit in front of you." ”
The host Zeng Zhiwei took over the conversation in a timely manner and said: "Liu Dehua, Guo Fucheng, Li Shu and Zhou Comin are invited to the stage. ”
As soon as the words fell, five handsome men and beauties stood up on the guest seat, and walked briskly to the stage, and suddenly countless magnesium lights flashed.
"Let's introduce yourselves."
"Hello everyone, I'm Liu Dehua."
"Hello everyone, I'm Guo Fucheng."
"Hello everyone, I'm Li Shu."
"Hello everyone, I'm Zhou Comin."
Among the four, Liu Dehua is one of the five wireless tigers, starring in many famous TV series, which is familiar in Hong Kong. As for the other three, almost no one knows each other.
Let's talk about Guo Fucheng first, before signing the Tang Dynasty, he was just an artist in the wireless artist training class, although he participated in many TV series, but they were all old-fashioned roles, so naturally he was not famous at all.
Li Shu is even more miserable, he participated in the ATV artist training class and the TVB artist training class last year, but he was either not admitted or was disqualified for no reason.
The youngest Zhou Comin is relatively better, and he participated in the 4th Rookie Singing Contest held by Wireless last year and won a good ranking, with Du Dewei and Su Yongkang in the same session. Although she is not as famous as Guo Fucheng and Li Shu, who makes her a beauty, and she is also a superb beauty with a pure temperament. No, more than half of the shots in the audience were actually aimed at her.
