Chapter 534
Kowloon, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hung Hom Sports Centre.
The time has come to 6:50 p.m., and the farewell concert of the losers is coming to an end.
After singing, Zhang Zhonghua stayed on the stage and said: "Friends, on behalf of all my colleagues at Jade Emperor Records, I would like to thank all my friends for coming to the Hung Hom Stadium to participate in the farewell concert of the loser band, and thank you for coming to witness the departure of my friends Chen Baixiang and Alan Tam.
I sincerely hope that Alan Tam and Chen Baixiang can have a bright future after leaving Jade Emperor Records, and Alan Tam has said that there is a high probability that he will return to the music scene after graduating from university.
As for Chen Baixiang, well, I can only hope that his business has failed!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhonghua spread his hands helplessly, and his funny words caused the 50,000 spectators in the gymnasium to burst into laughter.
"Okay, without further ado, let's invite today's protagonists, Mr. Alan Tam and Mr. Chan Pak Cheung."
In the warm applause, Alan Tam and Chen Baixiang stepped onto the stage a little cramped.
"Ah Lin, is it true that you told me before that you would return to the music scene after finishing your studies?"
"Yes. Mr. Zhang, I went to university mainly because of my old bean's requirements, and my favorite is music, and when I graduate from college, I think I will still return to the music scene."
Alan Tam returned to Zhang Zhonghua's question very seriously.
After getting an affirmative answer, all the audience at the scene cheered, regardless of whether Alan Tam still likes him after graduating from college, but now he still likes him very much, and his favorite singer promised to return, so he was naturally happy.
"Well, Ah Lin, I'm waiting for the day you come back. This is Mr. Chen Baixiang, Baixiang!"
"Zhang Sheng!"
"Do you like your business to be good and become a Hong Kong Island tycoon since then, and say goodbye to the music scene completely, or do you hope that your business will fail and return to the music scene and dedicate more and better songs to the fans who like you?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked a soul question with a wicked smile.
Chen Baixiang was confused by Zhang Zhonghua's question, and he didn't know how to answer at all, answering that he wanted to become a tycoon, was he a little sorry for the fans at the scene?
But if you return to the music scene in the hope that your business will fail, it will be even more inappropriate, who would want your business to fail???
Many spectators at the scene, including the staff, were amused by Zhang Zhonghua's question, and for a while, the laughter in the gymnasium was endless.
"Well, this ...... That one...... Zhang Sheng, and all the fans, even if my business is successful, I will often sing to the fans, just like Zhang Sheng!"
Chen Baixiang struggled with laughter for a while, and finally gave a compromise answer, and the scene also resounded with warm applause.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you, but Baixiang, if your business really fails, I will immediately send someone to arrest you back and work for me, don't be embarrassed to come back when the time comes!"
Zhang Zhonghua said so jokingly.
In the end, the concert of the losers ended with bursts of laughter.
Although the concert in the afternoon was very exciting, everyone was very sad about the farewell of the loser band, but fortunately, Zhang Zhonghua had the best gag, which made the sad atmosphere much better.
The next day, Zhang Zhonghua summoned the senior executives of Yuhuang TV and Yuhuang Records to the conference room of the gymnasium for a meeting.
The reason for the meeting was naturally that Jiayi TV was going to start broadcasting in advance, and Jiayi TV was a surprise attack on Jade Emperor TV and TVB, which caught both sides off guard, and some of the original plans and arrangements had to be modified.
And Zhang Zhonghua naturally wanted to inquire about the relevant situation in person.
"Boss, we have agreed with TVB that Jiayi TV will start broadcasting children's programs in the week before Children's Day.
The first TV series released by Jiayi TV was "Dazhang
Husband", Hong Kong Island Commercial TV also has a lot of loyal users, and there are many fans of this book, and the ratings should not be the first."
Zhang Zhonghua was very satisfied with the arrangement of Jade Emperor TV and TVB, every Friday night is prime time, and adults and children will definitely grab TV to watch.
On Thursdays, children's programs are played, and children are sent to watch children's programs, and on Fridays, children are asked not to steal adults' TVs.
"Zhang Sheng, at present, Jade Emperor Records has contacted a lot of lyricists to write songs specifically for Miss Teresa Teng, and we plan to put together an album and then hold a concert tour in Dongying's Dongjin, Kyoto, Osaka and other places in the second half of the year.
Some of the previous songs will be released first to open up the market......
Many of Teresa Teng's songs are classics that have been sung for decades, and Zhang Zhonghua will sing a lot in his last life, such as "The Moon Represents My Heart", "Night Fragrance", "Tianya Song", "See the Smoke Again", "He Rijun Will Come Again", "Small Town Story" and so on, even if you can't sing it, you have heard it, and there is probably no problem with the memories.
As for Miyuki Nakajima, she has created more than 600 songs, of which nearly 100 songs have been covered by Yanxia stars, and she is known as a woman who raised half of the Yanxia music scene.
"By the way, I've been thinking about a question, there are four entertainment awards on America's side, the Emmy (Television), the Grammys (Music), the Oscars (Film) and a Tony Award (Discourse and Opera), these four awards are Americana's highest awards, and of course the world's highest entertainment awards.
The Academy Awards, founded in 1929, is the world's longest, most authoritative and professional film award, and the most influential film award in the world.
The Grammy Award, founded in 1958, is also the most influential and authoritative music award in the world;
The Emmy Awards, founded in 1949, are the highest awards in the American television industry;
The Tony Award, founded in 1947, is the highest award for América's plays and musicals.
Europe and Dongying also have their own various awards, not to mention that there are also Dongying in Europe, even in Wanwan Province, there are two awards, the TV Golden Bell Award and the Film Golden Horse Award, although these two awards have no influence, but there are still there.
On Hong Kong Island, whether it is TV, movies, or musicals, there are no awards, which is very undeserved.
Hong Kong Island is about to usher in a period of great development, and the entertainment industry will also usher in rapid development, we must have our own awards on Hong Kong Island, so that we will not go to other people's places to judge awards and see other people's faces in the future?"
The current Golden Horse Awards are still playing with their own people, which is not interesting, but there is something after all.
In the future, there is no way for Hong Kong Island to be bullied by the Golden Horse Awards, and I have to set up a Academy Award to play without getting anything.
Zhang Zhonghua has been going abroad to receive awards all these years, and he is very depressed, and there are no decent awards in Southeast Asia.
Since there is none, Zhang Zhonghua decided to simply set up one by himself to play, and continue to develop for more than ten years, even if it can't become a first-class award, it is still okay to become a second-rate award with a certain influence.
According to the various awards of later generations of America, he was established in the 21st century and could not catch up with America's awards.
"Boss, then we also call on all walks of life on Hong Kong Island to establish awards?"
Huang Xizhao asked Zhang Zhonghua.
"Well, this year's Jiayi TV station is also officially established, and the three TV stations can barely do it, and when we can set up a TV award next year, we can completely refer to the American Emmy Awards.
At the end of this year, we will set up a film company, and we can set up a Yanxia Film Award together with Shaw Brothers Films, which will be awarded specifically for all Yanxia films and even all films in Southeast Asia, not limited to Yanxia films, and the specific details can be designed directly with reference to the Oscars, and their system is still very mature."
Zhang Zhonghua to Huang Xizhao
Simply said how to do the two awards, basically they are copied from America, people have been developing for a long time, the system is mature, and you can use it directly if you move over and change it slightly, why not do it.
Jade Emperor TV can broadcast the awards party live in Southeast Asia, which also improves the authority of Jade Emperor TV and makes steady profits.
"Boss, what about music awards?"
Lin Shiqiao asked.
"Music awards are dominated by our Jade Emperor Records, and major media and music-related schools in Southeast Asia can also be invited to participate, and we have established Asia's highest music honor awards.
The award is mainly aimed at the achievement award of Yanxia outstanding golden songs, commending and motivating those individuals or groups who have made outstanding achievements and contributions in the field of global Yanxia music, such as the best male and female singers, best male and female newcomers, best composition, best arrangement, and top ten golden songs, etc., and will be studied when the time comes!"
"Boss, should we bring in the IFPI Southeast Asia branch, which are the record companies, which are also very influential internationally, which will make the awards more influential internationally.
And if we don't invite them to participate, will they interfere with the awards!"
Lin Shiqiao said.
Founded in 1933, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) is an international organization of people working in the recording industry.
IFFA's headquarters are located in Zurich, Switzerland, with its secretariat in London, England.
The main purpose of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry is to protect the copyright of songs and combat piracy, and at present, all record companies in the world can enter, in Zhang Zhonghua's opinion, this association is still a little interesting, but it is the World Federation of the Phonographic Industry, and the Southeast Asian branch of this association is a joke.
The Southeast Asia branch was established in 1967 and is located not far from the Jade Emperor Building, which is also in the Central area of Hong Kong Island.
The initiators of this association are mainly the four major international record companies such as Universal Music, EMI Records, Sony Music and Warner Music, but it was only when the latter four companies withdrew from IFPI together and established the Hong Kong Island Audiovisual Alliance, so Zhang Zhonghua felt that this branch was a joke, as if it was a joke.
"Uh...... We don't need to invite them to participate in this award, our purpose is to create a Yanxia music award, and the participating institutions are mainly media and music academies, so that there will be less shady and interests involved, once they join, the whole award will be a lot of trouble.
The participation of the Southeast Asian branch of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry in the selection of the awards will inevitably attract the interference of the four record companies in the selection of the awards, and too many conflicts of interest will make the awards tasteless.
As for the interference selection? If they want to interfere, they can let them go, but if they have the ability, they can launch their own awards, and everyone can compete fairly."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
Since Hong Kong Island wants to set up various awards, it is more appropriate to follow the way of America, otherwise anyone can plug in, and the award will become the pheasant award, and there are many awards in the previous life, which are like this, and they will get away with it without playing for a few years.
"So how do we divide the sales of gold, platinum, and diamond?"
Lin Shiqiao asked Zhang Zhonghua that there is no unified standard for offline Hong Kong Island, and now that awards are to be established, these standards must also be available.
"As far as I know, Americaka's record sales will soon be adjusted, with records sold over 10 million times called Diamond Records, more than 1 million records sold as platinum records, and more than 500,000 records sold as gold records.
Although the population of America is more than 200 million, the consumption power is also strong, and the consumption power of Southeast Asia is much worse, but the population is very large.
Now that the economy is developing rapidly, people's spending power is getting stronger and stronger, and the consumption power of records is also getting stronger and stronger.
And it seems to me that tapes will replace vinyl records sooner or later, and the cost of tapes is very low compared to records.
This will also cause sales to skyrocket.
So we can't set the standard too low, so we can just take one-tenth of Americana's standard, and put 50,000 records as gold records, 100,000 as platinum records, and 1 million as diamond records, so that's about the same, and we don't have to adjust it often in a short period of time."
As for whether it can exceed 10 million copies, it is basically impossible, of course, in the golden period of the 90s, the sales of pirated copies are scary, if you add pirated copies, but easily exceed 10 million.
"So will our awards be held at the end of the year or at the beginning of the year?"
"Well, let's set it at the end of the year, the record sales in Southeast Asia are still very good, and the end of the year is also lively, which can be regarded as a pastime for people in Southeast Asia at the end of the next year before the Chinese New Year."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
