Huaxing Records.

Wei Qishan stood aside nervously, bowing her head and not daring to speak. There were other people in the office, the music producer who was usually short-tempered and often scolded Wei Qishan, but now he was facing Fang Yihua, who had a cold face, and he didn't dare to say a word.

As the champion of the first Chinese Rookie Singing Contest, Wei Qishan is undoubtedly a lucky person, not only successfully signed with Huaxing Company, but also quickly released her first record. Although this record only has 6 songs, and 4 of them are old cover songs, Wei Qishan herself is already very satisfied.

In more than a week after the record was released, the sales volume has reached more than 8,000 copies, which is very rare for a rookie singer.

Today, the Hong Kong singer's single record sales record holder is Xu Guanjie's "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" five years ago, which sold more than 400,000 copies in Hong Kong. This record was not broken until Kang Jianfei crossed, and later Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye" sales also broke 400,000, but it still did not exceed "Half a Pound and Eight Taels".

Xu Guanjie will be followed by Xu Xiaofeng, Xu Xiaofeng's sales of three consecutive records in Hong Kong in recent years have exceeded 300,000. Further back row are Alan Tam, Chen Baiqiang and others, with sales of about 50,000 to 300,000.

More than 50,000 sales are platinum records, which are considered popular singers, and the sales of ordinary rookie singers can exceed 10,000, which is already an instant hit.

If Anita Mui's "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" had not appeared, then Wei Qishan's first record result as the champion could be regarded as a successful end to the first Chinese Rookie Singing Contest.

But the reality is that there is no "if", and now Anita Mui's songs are playing all over the street. Especially the song "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que", whether it is a karaoke hall, a nightclub, a dance hall, a café, a video store, or a department store, you can hear the familiar melody everywhere.

Although Fengxing Records did not announce the sales of "Thousand Thousand Que Songs", there is no doubt that the singing contest champion lost to Anita Mui, the eliminated person.

Fang Yihua was silent for a while with a calm face, and finally didn't scold. He waved his hand and said, "It's all gone, Ah Fen and Ah Quan stay." ”

Wei Qishan and her producer quickly escaped from the office, leaving only the two heads of Huaxing Records, Chen Shufen and Chen Liuquan.

Fang Yihua stared at them and said, "Your singing contest is very well organized this time, and Anita Mui is just an accident." Now that "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" is very popular, we don't need to follow the popular records to fight for the blood. The important thing is to discover good singers and write good songs, and to find a young singer with potential but who is not too popular now, and focus on training. ”

Chen Shufen answered: "Lishi has a contracted singer and actor named Leslie Cheung, I think that posterior has great potential, and his appearance is beautiful enough. ”

Fang Yihua is now in charge of TVB. The biggest opponent is Li's TV station, and she is naturally very familiar with the situation on Lishi's side, and Chen Shufen immediately had an impression when she mentioned Leslie Cheung.

Fang Yihua pondered: "Zhang Guorong is well-known for acting in TV series in Lishi, and he is quite valued by that side, so it should be difficult to dig it up." ”

Chen Shufen explained: "I have a good relationship with Zhang Guorong's singing teacher Li Xiaotian. Some time ago, he revealed that he wanted to take Zhang Guorong away from Lishi. ”

When Fang Yihua heard that he could poach the popular star who could dig up the opponent, he was shocked and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Chen Shufen said in detail: "Zhang Guorong was the runner-up of the Lishi Singing Contest four years ago, and was rated as the most promising newcomer by the newspaper at the time. However, after signing with Lishi, Lishi's packaging and publicity efforts for him have not been enough, and there is no correct positioning for Zhang Guorong, resulting in Zhang Guorong's records not selling well. Li Xiaotian was very dissatisfied with this. In addition, there have been internal disputes within Lishi recently, so I want to leave Lishi with Zhang Guorong. ”

Fang Yihua did not agree immediately, but said: "Find Zhang Guorong's record and let me listen to it." ”

Chen Shufen immediately went out, and found a few records of Zhang Guorong more than ten minutes later. Chen Liuquan took out the record player and put on the song in the office.

Fang Yihua was a beautiful singer in Southeast Asia when she was young, and was later brought to Hong Kong by Shao Yifu, who originally wanted to hide her from the golden house. However, Fang Yihua quickly showed his management skills. So he was arranged by Shao Yifu to join the Shaw Brothers company, and climbed step by step to his current position.

Fang Yihua's music appreciation is even much better than Chen Shufen and Chen Liuquan. After listening to a few of Zhang Guorong's songs, he immediately clapped his hand and said: "You must sign this singer, and his teacher Li Xiaotian (the composer of "The Great Wall Will Never Arrive") to dig it up." ”

Chen Shufen said: "I'm afraid it's not in a hurry now, Zhang Guorong's contract with Lishi will only expire next year, and it will cost hundreds of thousands more to poach people now." ”

Fang Yihua's cost control is worse than Shao Yifu's, and when he heard it, he immediately said: "Then talk about it first, and then poach people next year." In addition to Zhang Guorong, is there any other candidate? ”

Chen Liuquan hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "Xu Xiaofeng's record contract will also be full next year." ”

Fang Yihua had an urge to roll her eyes, and said directly: "Xu Xiaofeng, don't think about it, now Huaxing Records has just started, focusing on discovering new talents." ”

Chen Liuquan coughed awkwardly and said, "Yes, I will pay attention to discovering new people." ”

Why would Fang Yihua refuse to dig Xu Xiaofeng?

Because Xu Xiaofeng is a well-deserved sister in the Hong Kong music scene today, not only has the record sales exceeded 300,000 copies in a row, but also the company she signed with is a giant record company like Columbia. Last year, Xu Xiaofeng sang in a nightclub, and the salary reached a sky-high price of 100,000 yuan, and I heard that the price of a private party even reached 200,000 yuan.

How much does a record cost now? It only rose to more than 20 yuan this summer.

The average singer has to sell 100,000 records to get Xu Xiaofeng's salary for singing in a nightclub.

Huaxing Company, which has just transformed into a regular record company, is qualified to sign such a diva-level singer? That's just self-inflicted.

…………

St. Stephen's Church Secondary School is holding a grand celebration event.

The voice of the student host came from the stage: "In a program over there, Jiang Hongyan, a student from Secondary 3 Class 2, sang "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" for everyone......"

"Cut!"

Before the host's words were finished, the students in the audience had already responded with a disdainful cheer.

Zhou Huimin, who was preparing in the background, asked quite nervously: "Ah Wei, why is it another one who sings "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que", how many are these?" ”

Ah Wei said funny: "It's the fifth, fortunately I chose Sister Amei's "Heavenly Love" (Cantonese version of "Dream Chaser"). But Amin, you're miserable, you collided with a lot of people when choosing songs. ”

The organizers of the performances cannot be blamed, because the performances are all signed up by the students themselves, and it is up to the performers to decide what to perform.

As a result, a total of more than 40 people signed up for the performance, and 26 people chose to sing "Song of Qianqianque", except for those whose talents were too bad to go on stage and those who were persuaded to sing other songs, there were still 11 people left, and they had to sing "Song of Qianqianque" alive and dead.

This song is so popular that the few students who just started to sing it, whether they sang it well or badly, won bursts of applause from the audience.

As for now, it's all applauded, because everyone is getting impatient to hear it.

The one who just sang "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" ran off the stage in embarrassment after singing, but heard the host say again: "...... Zhou Huimin, a student from Class 1 of Secondary 2, sang "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" ......"

"If you're not mistaken, come back!"

"Please, don't spoil this song anymore."

"Get off the stage!"

“……”

Zhou Huimin came to the stage in this kind of inverted color, and he was under a lot of pressure before he started singing, so that the first lyrics were out of tune, and the boos in the audience became louder.

Zhou Huimin will not turn 14 in a month, and although her skin is as smooth as a cow, she does not have many friends at school. Because her father died before she was born, and her family was poor since she was a child, her expression never liked to smile coldly, giving people a feeling of rejection from thousands of miles away.

Not only that, 13-year-old Zhou Huimin is slightly chubby, with baby fat on her face, and short hair, which is far from the word "beauty".

Growing up so big, Zhou Huimin is also Ah Wei and Yaqin, two good friends who have played together since childhood.

The noise in the audience became louder and louder, and Zhou Huimin's mind was also chaotic, and he forced himself to finish singing calmly, and he didn't even know how to get off the stage after the end.

After getting off the stage, Zhou Huimin didn't come back to her senses, and she couldn't even figure out the direction, her good friend Yaqin came over and hugged her and said, "Amin, you sing so well!" ”

Zhou Huimin said in a daze: "Didn't help? I don't know what I'm singing myself. ”

Soon Ah Wei also finished the performance, and said in surprise: "Amin, Yaqin, just now I heard the girl in the next class say that Sister Amei will be on TV tomorrow night." ”

Yaqin couldn't wait to ask, "Which one?" ”

Ah Wei smiled: "Of course it's Lishi, the last time Sister Amei did a show, she was also in Lishi." Moreover, I also heard that as long as the audience who successfully gets through to the TV station within an hour after the show is broadcast tomorrow, 10 lucky winners will be randomly drawn, and no one can get a signed record of Sister Amei for free. The one with the best luck can also be a guest at Sister Amei's concert. ”

"Sister Amei is also going to have a concert?" Zhou Huimin asked excitedly, this is similar to her usually cold.

Ah Wei explained: "It's not a big concert, it's a small song club. ”

Yaqin said: "Then what are you waiting for, go home and call." ”

Ah Wei said speechlessly: "Calling tomorrow will be effective, what are you anxious about?" ”

Zhou Huimin asked, "How much is Li's TV station?" ”

Ah Wei said: "Tomorrow, Sister Amei will tell her phone number on the show, and as long as the show is over, you can call it." ”
