Chapter 109: The Record Company

And Xu Guanwu's eyes were staring closely at the six people standing at the door, if he didn't admit it, this band was the Wen Na Five Tigers that had to be mentioned in the Hong Kong music scene, but I don't know why there was one more person for no reason.

After their debut, the Wenna Five Tigers became popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, and each of their records was quite a bestseller, and they repeatedly created sales miracles. And the movies he made were also quite popular, becoming the most popular group in the Asian music scene.

After the disbandment of the Wenna Five Tigers, the members developed separately, but they all achieved quite outstanding results.

Tam is the king of Hong Kong singers after Xu Guanjie, and every record is very popular. Such as "Flowers in the Water", "If I Am Real" and so on, have achieved excellent sales results. In the 80s, he stood with Cheung Kwok-rong and Chen Baiqiang, and was one of the most popular singers in Hong Kong.

At the same time, the films starring him, such as "Little Life is Afraid", "Yin and Yang Wrong", "Huang Feihong Laughing Biography" and so on, are very popular. What's even more rare is that this person has been popular from the 70s of the 20th century to the 21st century, and he is still the pillar of the Hong Kong music scene, without the slightest sense of anger, which is very rare.

After Zhong Zhentao came out of the Wen Na Five Tigers, whether he was filming Qiong Yao drama in Taiwan or returning to Hong Kong to shoot movies, he has achieved very bright results. Such as "Seven Days of Wrong Love", "New Jingwumen", "The Man Who Doesn't Take Off His Socks" and so on.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is his relationship with his ex-wife Zhang Xiaohui, which is more bloody than any Qiong Yao drama and more dramatic than any Hong Kong movie, and is the source of the survival of gossip tabloids.

Compared with Tan Yilin and Zhong Zhentao, Chen You's achievements in music are not very impressive after quitting Wen Na Five Tigers, but he has made quite good achievements in movies.

Eryou Pictures, which he co-founded with Zhang Jianting, has shot many urban emotional comedies, such as "One Husband and Two Wife", "One Wife and Two Husbands", "The Man Who Doesn't Take Off His Socks", etc., and the two worked together to write, direct and act, and the films produced have achieved outstanding box office results, which is the backbone of the Hong Kong film industry.

As for the other members, Xu Guanwu is not too familiar.

Being able to include the Wen Na Band under its umbrella is definitely a sure-fire deal, so Xu Guanwu did not hesitate at all, and immediately agreed.

When the Wenna band saw that Xu Guanwu had agreed to accept them, they couldn't help but jump up happily.

You must know that they have also organized a loser band before, won the championship of the Hong Kong Band Singing Competition, and have also recommended themselves to PolyGram several times, but they have not been noticed by the record company.

Now that they can be signed by the Xu Brothers, they really feel like pie in the sky.

After so many reports, everyone in Hong Kong now knows that the Hui Brothers Company is financially powerful, and it is no weaker than the Shaw Brothers Company and Golden Harvest Pictures.

Teddy Robin didn't stop them this time, but stood by with a smile on his face.

After a long while, he clapped his hands, "Okay, okay, don't jump, don't hurry up Mr. Xu." ”

"Mr. Xiexie Xu!" The six members of the Wenner band shouted together.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Wait for the superstar manager company to sign the contract." ”

In a word, the Band Wenna was excited again.

"Okay, before I left Hong Kong, Zuihou didn't have any worries at all." Teddy Robin laughed.

"When is your plane, I'll see you off at the airport." Xu Guanjie asked again.

"No, I want to go alone." Teddy Robin said poetically, turned around and walked out.

Xu Guanwu saw his distant back, and suddenly felt that his image was so tall.

Such a person with an open-minded attitude to life really brings him a very different feeling.

"Ah, Teddy Robin is a wonderful guy." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Xu Guanjie nodded, "He lives more chic than any of us." ”

When the six members of the Wenna band went upstairs to sign a contract with the superstar manager's company, Xu Guanjie asked a little puzzled: "Second brother, our company is not a record company, what is this band for?" ”

"Can't you set up a music company without it?" Xu Guanwu smiled, "Just for this band, I deserve to set up a record company." Ah SAM, I am very optimistic about the strength of these people, believe me, they will definitely become popular. ”

"Really?" Xu Guanjie asked suspiciously.

Xu Guanwu nodded, he remembered that in the 80s, the Hong Kong film industry was dominated by the new art city, there was a record company called Xin Yibao.

At that time, Xinyicheng signed many popular stars, such as Tan Yilin, Lin Zixiang, Ye Qianwen, Zhang Guorong, etc., all of whom could act and sing. In order not to cause the loss of resources, Xinyicheng signed their acting contract and record contract together, and cooperated with Polygram to establish Xinyibao Records.

When Xinyibao Records was at its most prosperous, it was higher than the sales of its parent company Polygram Records, and it was a chicken that laid golden eggs under Xinyicheng.

Xu Guanwu didn't have the idea of setting up a record company, but when he saw the Wenner band, the idea immediately came to mind.

"Anyway, I remember a lot of singers who were surprised for a while, so it's better to sign them all into the company, and then they will make a fortune." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but think.

"Second brother, it is not easy to set up a record company, we do not have recording equipment, recording studios, recording equipment and other hardware, and we do not have software such as lyricists, composers and arrangers, nor do we have our own distribution channels." Xu Guanjie said, "Even if there are singers, it's useless. ”

"Sam, don't be so discouraged. If we don't have what we can build now, who hasn't grown up step by step from scratch? Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Besides, so many record companies in Hong Kong, do they all have their own distribution channels, recording equipment, recording studios, and recording equipment?" ”

"But there is a lot of money to be invested in the early stage, and it is difficult for the new company to compete with a big record company like Polygram." Xu Guanjie hesitated.

"Don't worry, Sam! There are at least 30 years to make money as a record company, and in order to make 30 years of money, it is worth paying some in the early stage. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Xu Guanjie didn't ask how the profit of thirty years was calculated, he knew that the things decided by the second brother generally did not allow people to object, and besides, he used his own money to build a record company, and it was useless to oppose himself, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

……

Although the words are loud, it is really not easy to really set up a record company, as Xu Guanjie said.

Recording equipment, recording equipment, recording studios, etc., these hardware are easy to solve, as long as Xu Guanwu is willing to spend money. However, the software facilities for lyricists, lyricists, arrangers, and distribution channels cannot be built in a day or two.

"The best way to do this is to buy a record label that is already in place, so that you can save a lot of time." Xu Guanwu rubbed his chin and said.

The "Tian Tian Daily" he acquired before is a very good example, this newspaper has its own printing house, as well as mature editors, reporters, columnists, etc., as long as enough funds are injected, Xu Guanwu does not have to worry about other things, and naturally there are a large number of people to serve him.

"It's better to have someone look up which record label is good." Thinking so, Xu Guanwu called Manager Fang of Stanley Market Research Company.
