In short, after the establishment of Huaxia Audiovisual Co., Ltd., although Cao Zhiqiang was the actual person in charge because no one else knew music, he finally set up a platform for making music.

This is like a team, first set the number for you, and then recruit troops and horses in the future, it will be much more convenient, and no one will say that you are rebellious.

Next, it's time to find a place to record Cao Zhiqiang's songs.

In 1983, there were very few units in China that could record records, but in Beijing, there were only a few units in total.

Of course, strictly speaking, it's not really a place where there are no records.

In fact, in these days, it is not impossible to record a sound with a tape recorder and then rip it into a tape to sell, it is nothing more than poor quality.

For example, the hawkers who are now selling audio tapes on the streets, and the audio tapes they sell of Hong Kong and Taiwan songs are basically pirated and reproduced by themselves, and they are still selling well.

There are also some ripping cross talk commentaries on the radio, which are also selling very well.

But what Cao Zhiqiang wants is not this kind of shoddy goods, it must be a regular high-quality record, so he has to find a regular unit.

If you want to talk about the regular recording unit, the Chinese record company is of course the best, but this company is obviously in competition with Huaxia Music, and it usually has no dealings, so it is estimated that it is not easy to deal with.

So Cao Zhiqiang took his "original" songs and found Chen Hanyuan, the director of the editor-in-chief office of the Central Station, and asked him to help find a way to find a reliable place to record records.

Unexpectedly, Director Chen is a warm-hearted person, and he was already very surprised when he heard that Cao Zhiqiang had set up a joint-stock record company with private shares, and he was even more surprised when he heard that Cao Zhiqiang had created a lot of songs, and he wanted to play and sing by himself and record them into records.

As a result, Director Chen was very enthusiastic to contribute to the studio of CCTV and used the studio of CCTV to record songs for Cao Zhiqiang.

Of course, it is not given for free, but it costs money, and it cannot be used during the day, only at night, that is, after all the programs of the central station are over.

In addition, the central station can not only help Cao Zhiqiang record songs, but also help Cao Zhiqiang record a large number of commercial tapes, and even blank tapes can be provided, as long as Cao Zhiqiang gives a friendly price.

It is equivalent to saying that from live recording, to large-scale recording of records, and even including the production of audio tapes, covers, etc., all the production matters of the Central Television Station are all covered, and they don't care about the distribution for the reason, Cao Zhiqiang, or Huaxia Audiovisual itself.

Of course, this is no problem, or rather, it is beyond Cao Zhiqiang's imagination.

After all, it's the central station, but it has the best facilities at the moment, and it is a great honor for the central station to help me record it.

Not only that, Director Chen also said, not to mention the tapes, even the MTV tapes, they can also package them, as long as they give money.

After asking again, I found out that the Central Station is now also facing reform, and to put it bluntly, it is to think of ways to generate income.

But for a TV station, there are only a few projects that can generate revenue, which are nothing more than shooting advertisements.

However, as for the people in this period, there were no private companies, basically state-owned enterprises and collective or township enterprises, and the advertising awareness of these enterprises was quite indifferent, and there were not many people who looked for central stations to advertise.

And helping Cao Zhiqiang record is undoubtedly a way to make money, although it looks inconspicuous, but as long as the quantity goes up, there is a lot of oil and water.

In this way, under Chen Hanyuan's thousand-needle lead, Cao Zhiqiang and the two people in charge of post-production introduced by Chen Hanyuan, a total of three people, started the recording process of the record together with the help of the studio of Central Television.

Because of the poor conditions in the early stage, he didn't want to make any big productions, Cao Zhiqiang just wanted to make a guitar and play and sing by himself.

In addition, in order to avoid trouble, Cao Zhiqiang chose the song with the main theme for the first song, which is the so-called red song.

Although, with the hit of "Hometown Love" on the Spring Festival Gala in 1983, many so-called banned songs have been lifted, and some popular songs such as love songs are no longer known as the sound of beauty and have been banned, but all in all, at the beginning of 1983, if the inland wants to release a record, it is still necessary to be careful.

To put it simply, different local policies are different, some places, such as the south, have completely liberalized pop songs, but some places, such as some places in the north, are still skeptical of pop songs.

Cao Zhiqiang is a newcomer, a new song, a new company, the first batch of songs to start a business, there is no need to follow the policy and the wind as soon as it comes up, naturally it is to start with red songs first, which is the most secure way to operate.

After choosing and choosing, Cao Zhiqiang decided to use the two songs "Bloodstained Style" and "Red Flag Fluttering" as pioneers.

Of course, the songs that moved Uncle Xu and Uncle Wang before, such as "Proud Boy", "Dream Chaser", etc., are also to be recorded.

But for those songs to feel good, they need a lot of mixing, or at least a small band, and if you just play and sing on your own, it feels like a little bit of a problem.

So, Cao Zhiqiang decided to launch the two songs "Bloodstained Style" and "Red Flag Fluttering" in the form of singles, first to see the market acceptance, and then slowly release "Proud Boy".

In order to facilitate the circle of money, all these songs must be released in the form of singles one by one.

After releasing the single, add a few more new songs, and then make a red song album, which will be officially launched during May Day.

He had all the names of the album in mind, and it was called "Those Things That Man".

"Manager Cao, Manager Cao?"

Hearing someone call his name, Cao Zhiqiang, who was flying out of the sky, opened his eyes and found that it was Chen Guangming, who was called Chen Gong.

At the same time, his apprentice Xiao Wang was also looking at him.

"Ah, you're done talking?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled.

"Yes, we're done." Chen Gong smiled.

"Manager Cao, now that the recording has been completed, I have listened to it a few times just now, and it is perfect, and I can record it directly.

And then it's not too early, do you think we're going to end it? ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded, stood up directly, and shook hands with the two of them: "The two of you have really worked hard." ”

"Nothing." Chen Gong said with a smile, "You introduced us to business, and you can hear such a good song, we thank you for it." ”

As soon as he heard this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled.

Indeed, there is money to be paid for recording songs, and Cao Zhiqiang, the post-production personnel of the recording, also gave enough benefits in private, of course they are happy.

This is not considered corruption, because Cao Zhiqiang did not give money, but gave a Shanghai brand watch, so it was just a courtesy exchange between friends.

"Okay." Cao Zhiqiang stretched, "It's not too early, it's time to go back." ”

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang asked again: "By the way, how was the recording of that song yesterday?" ”

"Don't worry." Chen Guangming said with a smile, "After the song was recorded yesterday, I worked overtime to record it, and I don't know how many there are, but there are 10,000 or 20,000." ”

Hearing this number, Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

It can rip 10,000 or 20,000 tapes a day, which is already very good in terms of the technology currently mastered in China.

Of course, the recording speed of developed countries in the West is definitely faster, but there is no one in China at present.

Cao Zhiqiang remembers that the first production line in China with an annual output of 18 million cassette tapes was in 1984, and it is not clear which tape factory it is.

Before that, the domestic tape production line, the best Shanghai tape factory and the Beiping tape factory, the annual output of tape is more than 7 million tapes, excluding holidays and the like, about 20,000 boxes a day.

Anyway, at present, the transcription of audio tapes in Beijing is basically handed over to the Beiping Tape Factory to do.

That's right, during this period, the mass production of records was all handed over to the tape factory.

Specifically, the production unit, such as the central station, hands over the master tape to the tape factory, and the tape factory directly produces the tape that transcribes the content of the master tape, not at all Mr. produces a blank tape and then records it.

In this way, from the source of production, the music tape made by the tape production line is faster, not to mention the faster production speed, and the sound quality is also better.

Even, the tape factory can even get the packaging for you, as long as you design the packaging, when the tape is released, you can directly find a worker to put the packaging cover for you.

The cover is easy to do, it is nothing more than to ask a few people from the central station to take a few side photos of Cao Zhiqiang holding a guitar.

In fact, according to Cao Zhiqiang's original intention, he didn't want to show his face.

But there is no way, the singer is Cao Zhiqiang, if he doesn't show his face again, what if he is impersonated in the future?

It's not impossible, people in this period, the lower limit is also very low.

So Cao Zhiqiang made a compromise, and only patted the side of his face after putting on makeup, so that he would not be taken off and his face would not be fully exposed.

In fact, Cao Zhiqiang only plans to release a record, and does not plan to do any live concerts everywhere.

First, the concert is too time-consuming, and secondly, it is easy to get into trouble.

For example, the original singer of "Bloodstained Style" has had a lot of problems because of the problem of live singing funds.

People in these years like moral kidnapping, so the best way is to only release records and don't go to any concerts.

Even if the concert makes more money at a time, you can't go.

Especially Cao Zhiqiang, who sings red songs, if you want to go to the army for free, do you go or not?

Of course, it's not that you don't hold concerts, but you can't go to Cao Zhiqiang.

Cao Zhiqiang has thought it all through.

In the early days of the record company, in order to make a name for himself, Cao Zhiqiang could only compose, play and sing by himself, and everything was prioritized by the pursuit of the highest cost performance.

But when the record company makes a few popular works, and has a certain fame and funding, he has to find a way to audition singers and artists.

Then, in the future, I will only be responsible for writing songs, lyrics and packaging, and then pushing these artists out.

In the future, it will be like a concert or something, and it will be done by these own artists.

As long as the contract is signed, there will be no problems.

Anyway, in this period, artists are the least valuable, and it's not what the record company says.

Of course, this is all to be done in the future, and at this stage, you still have to rely on yourself.

But even if Cao Zhiqiang has to rely on himself, he can't sell himself cheaply, at least not holding a concert is the bottom line.

As for the future, when you become famous, it is not impossible to hold one or two concerts once in a while.

In other words, if you have the opportunity, you can still go to a concert abroad, after all, it is to earn foreign exchange, not to stumble, and there is no moral kidnapping, how good it is.

After saying goodbye to Chen Gong and Wang Gong, Cao Zhiqiang walked out of the Central Station Building and walked towards a Citroen CX20 car parked on the side of the road at the door.

Before he could get closer, Zhang Qianqian jumped out of the cab in a hurry, and then opened the co-pilot's door attentively.

Cao Zhiqiang just smiled and nodded to him, and then got into the car by himself.

After getting on the bus, I found that there was no smell of smoke here, only some strong tea taste.

It seems that Zhang Qianqian didn't dare to smoke in the car, he went out to smoke, and at most drank tea in the car.

When Zhang Qianqian returned to the cab, Cao Zhiqiang said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, Lao Zhang." ”

"It's all as it should be." Zhang Qianqian smiled.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded: "Don't say much, let's drive and go home!" ”

Zhang Qianjin smiled and nodded, started the car, and then went straight to the Red Light Publishing House.

Yes, Cao Zhiqiang still lives in the publishing house building, and has not returned to Qinghong's house or Cao Lili's house.

The reason is very simple, the mother-in-law has not left, and Cao Zhiqiang is not suitable to continue to live under the same roof with Qinghong, it is too inappropriate, after all, he is not married.

Besides, now Qinghong is busy studying, and Cao Zhiqiang himself is also very busy, so it is inappropriate to disturb rashly.

If Cao Zhiqiang goes back to Qinghong, he can't help but go to Qinghong and slimy, coming and going, how much delay.

Especially if the mother-in-law finds out when doing something, it will be even more embarrassing.

So just in case, just don't go back to the Qinghong part, out of sight and out of mind, the provincial waterfront building is itchy.

As for Cao Lili's side, it's the same, it's not appropriate for Cao Zhiqiang to go back now.

Since Qiao Simei was officially adopted by Chen Jiabang, although she has become an official Beijinger, her life has not changed essentially.

That is to say, Qiao Simei still lives with her own sister Cao Lili, and that Xiang Dongfang still lives there.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang didn't care much about this.

But after returning to the capital from Nanjing, Cao Lili once quietly found herself, saying that she felt that Qiao Simei's feelings for him Cao Zhiqiang were very strange, and it seemed to have exceeded the relationship between ordinary brothers and sisters.

The most typical point is that when Cao Zhiqiang and Qiao Simei are in contact, they will be more scruples, some unnecessary contact, such as hugging and hugging, can be avoided, at most touching the other party's head, or pulling the other party's hand.

But as in the past, the act of holding Qiao Simei at every turn, carrying Qiao Simei, or putting Qiao Simei on his shoulder is no longer there.

What's more, there is an outsider like Xiang Dongfang, and Cao Zhiqiang is even more unsuitable to live with Cao Lili.

In fact, Cao Zhiqiang had officially spent money to buy the house where Cao Lili lived three days ago.

Although the buyer's name is still Cao Zhiqiang, it doesn't matter.

Cao Zhiqiang has decided that once Cao Lili becomes an adult, he will transfer the house of the school family building to Cao Lili.

Therefore, in Cao Zhiqiang's heart, that house is actually Cao Lili's, and it is also Cao Lili's home, so he should be regarded as a guest.

Because of this, it is inconvenient for Cao Zhiqiang to live on Cao Lili's side.

Maybe you want to say, isn't there still a Kim so-young?

Jin Xiuying's place of residence is really good, but the relationship between Jin Xiuying and Cao Zhiqiang is unclear, so Cao Zhiqiang doesn't want too many people to know about Jin Xiuying, at least he doesn't want Zhang Qianqian and others to know.

Therefore, even if Cao Zhiqiang went to Jin Xiuying's house, he secretly rode a bicycle by himself, and never let people drive him there.

This is different from Wu Qinghong.

Although Wu Qinghong has not married Cao Zhiqiang, everyone knows that Wu Qinghong is Cao Zhiqiang's object, but because they are too young and Wu Qinghong is preparing for the exam, they are not married, but as long as they are insiders, they have already tacitly accepted that Wu Qinghong is Cao Zhiqiang's lover.

In other words, Wu Qinghong can say it clearly, but Jin Xiuying cannot.

Jin Xiuying's biggest problem is that she has a criminal record, if she comes to Cao Zhiqiang openly, many people will oppose it, which is very unfavorable to Cao Zhiqiang's career.

What's more, Cao Zhiqiang himself has a complicated attitude towards Kim Xiuying, and he doesn't know how to define Jin Xiuying's status.

Fortunately, Cao Zhiqiang and Jin Xiuying don't have anything substantial, they can be regarded as friends, so they simply continue like this.

Of course, Cao Zhiqiang didn't ignore Kim Xiuying, but found a coach and tutor for Jin Xiuying, and let Jin Xiuying practice volleyball in private, while also making up for cultural classes, preparing for her to return to the volleyball team in the future.

The reason is very simple, like Kim so-young, it is difficult to enter the regular volleyball team, after all, she has a criminal record, and the general volleyball team does not want her.

So the best way is to pass the college entrance examination and then go to the volleyball team of the sports university.

The college entrance examination doesn't care if you have been in a juvenile detention center in the past.

Of course, this method can't be done by ordinary people, after all, even if it is a sports university, the score requirements are very high, and it is impossible to be normal with Kim so-young's brain.

But with Cao Zhiqiang's help and Jin Xiuying's targeted brushing in advance, everything is naturally not a problem.

As for where the questions came from, why Cao Zhiqiang asked Jin Xiuying to brush the questions are the content of the college entrance examination, this, there is no need to explain, just keep a mysterious smile, she will naturally make up for it by herself.

In short, everything is almost ready now, just look at the performance of Huaxia Audiovisual Company's first work two days later, that is, the single "Bloodstained Style", after its official launch.

Although it has not been officially launched yet, and there has been no advertising promotion before, Cao Zhiqiang believes that once this historically tested red song is launched, it will definitely become a hit.

As long as the songs launched this time create brilliance again, then I can set up a young composer, a young lyricist and a young singer in addition to the young poets.

There are many people to protect them, coupled with fame and body protection, as well as the myths created by successes one by one, and there are naturally no taboos in the future!
