Starting Point Records, President's Office.

In the face of Chen Qiming's inquiry, Tao Zhe directly explained with practical actions.

He turned on the tape recorder next to Chen Qiming's desk and inserted the master tape.

Zizizi......

There was a murmur on the tape recorder, and then the music began.

【Empty this beach】

【The wind blows over the cold shore】

[I gently shake off the sand in my shoes]

[Look at my footprints]

[oh one person step by step]

[So lonely]

……

Tao Zhe's voice was clean with a hint of sadness, which made Chen Qiming a little distracted.

"This is the finished record, and we have already started to announce it, and it will be officially released next week!"

Tao Zhe looked at Chen Qiming with a worried face.

No wonder he was so nervous.

It's Chen Qiming's attitude that is too important.

If Chen Qiming thinks that this record is not good, then Tao Zhe will hardly be able to get a heavy responsibility at the starting point unless he changes jobs.

Therefore, he was very nervous, afraid that Chen Qiming would not like his singing.

"Yes, according to plan!"

Fortunately, Chen Qiming's words made Tao Zhe breathe a sigh of relief.

"He is not well-known now, ci viagra, you can help him take a few more variety shows to increase his exposure!" Chen Qiming looked at Liu Ciwei.

Tao Zhe actually has some fame in the behind-the-scenes circle of the Baodao music scene.

not only wrote "Love is Simple" for Chen Qiming, but also participated in the production of many of Chen Qiming's records.

With these experiences, he is not very famous in the production circle of Treasure Island, but he is not unknown.

However, in the eyes of the audience, he is a complete newcomer.

Newcomers, that is, there is no fame, no one supports, and they are not even exposed.

If the record is released without any publicity, there is a good chance that it will be lost.

Therefore, in order to avoid the failure of Tao Zhe's record, and to avoid the company losing money on this record, it is inevitable to carry out a certain range of publicity before the release of the record.

"I understand, I'll make arrangements here, but unfortunately, you've been very busy lately, otherwise, I can let you take him to promote it!" Liu Ciwei said with some regret.

With Chen Qiming's fame and appeal, as long as Tao Zhe follows Chen Qiming on a few programs or attends a few events, Chen Qiming recommends it to fans, and Tao Zhe's fame will definitely rise like a rocket.

It's a pity that Chen Qiming is busy with work now, and he hardly has any time to spare.

"Although I can't take him to the show, I will help recommend him when I am interviewed, I hope it will be effective!"

Chen Qiming also said with some regret.

Tao Zhe's achievements in the future may not be as good as Jay Chou's, but they are not weak.

Therefore, Chen Qiming attaches no less importance to him than Jay Chou.

It's just that he wasn't very lucky, and he happened to be too busy when he released the record to give him too much help.

However, this is not too much of a pity.

Although I can't take him to run publicity, I can give a little more in other resources.

Anyway, it won't be a loss to him.

"It's okay, you're busy, I'll just run and promote it myself!"

Although Tao Zhe regretted that Chen Qiming couldn't take him to run the propaganda in person, he didn't mind.

He knew very well how busy Chen Qiming was, so naturally he wouldn't take this matter to heart.

After asking about Li Jiaxin and Tao Zhe's records, Chen Qiming looked at Jay Chou next to him.

Seeing Chen Qiming looking at him, Jay Chou suddenly became nervous.

Last year, Chen Qiming said that he would make his debut this year.

He was looking forward to it.

Now, he is very eager to hear from Chen Qiming that he is ready to make his debut.

"Poof......

Seeing Jay Chou's nervous appearance, Chen Qiming couldn't help but smile and said:

"Don't worry, you won't break your promise if you make your debut."

After a pause, Chen Qiming explained with a solemn face:

"Even if you make your debut, if you don't perform well, I won't show mercy.

At that time, if your business ability is not good, I will let you return to the behind-the-scenes team, and let you debut when you are capable. ”

"Brother Qiming! Rest assured, I won't let you down, and if I don't, I'll be back on the team myself! ”

Hearing that Chen Qiming agreed to make his debut, Jay Chou became excited, stood up directly, and said loudly.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help but smile.

As for Jay Chou's business ability, Chen Qiming naturally will not doubt it.

This year, since Jay Chou joined the starting point record, in addition to his usual work and classes, he has almost stayed in the company's practice room for the rest of the time, and the professionals invited by the company teach various skills.

Although Jay Chou has just turned seventeen, to be honest, in terms of business ability, many singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan are not as good as him.

In addition, Chen Qiming is consciously cultivating his own creation.

It can be said that even if you don't look at his future achievements, Chen Qiming feels that he is one of the most potential newcomers in the current Chinese music scene in terms of his creative ability.

"Since you're so confident, let's start preparing your record!

Still prefer EP.

The words of the producer are served by Brother Xiunan. ”

Chen Qiming said, and said with a smile: "You have also learned to create for a long time, I allow you to submit the song, if the review is passed, the song will use your own." ”

"That ......" Hearing Chen Qiming's words, Jay Chou's face turned slightly red, "That, Brother Qiming, I want to sing the song you wrote!" ”

Chen Qiming frowned and looked at Jay Chou.

Jay Chou was looking at him expectantly.

It seems that it is a great honor to be able to sing the songs he wrote.

After thinking about it slightly, Chen Qiming understood Jay Chou's thoughts.

It's become dependent on him.

In addition, Chen Qiming's creative ability is recognized, and as we all know, almost all the songs he has written are golden songs.

With such a golden song making machine, he naturally feels that with Chen Qiming's songs, the chances of success are greater.

"Do you know why I only gave Tao Zhe a song?"

Chen Qiming pointed to Tao Zhe and asked Jay Chou.

Jay Chou glanced at Tao Zhe and shook his head in confusion.

"It's not that I can't write good songs, it's that I'm giving you a chance!

If all of you don't write songs, it's all up to me, then why should I recruit you into the company?

Jay, you must know that the most important thing for us to start records is people who can create independently.

Those who have the ability to create independently have twice as many contract conditions as others.

You have a great creative talent, and I don't want you to be a tool person who only knows how to sing.

And I'll tell you the truth, if you want to go further in the music world, all you can rely on is your own creative ability.

Otherwise, in terms of singing skills, you are average, in terms of appearance, in background, to be honest, you are also average. ”

Chen Qiming's words were a bit heavy, but he felt that he should say it.

He didn't want Jay Chou to go crooked because he was discovered in advance.

To put it bluntly, if he goes crooked, Chen Qiming may give him a good job because of the relationship between the two parties.

But if you want Chen Qiming to spare no effort to push him, it is obviously impossible.

Chen Qiming is not a big philanthropist who does not ask for anything in return.

He cultivated Jay Chou, and naturally hoped that Jay Chou would bring him enough benefits.

Otherwise, he is not a relative, why does he take care of Jay Chou so much.

Chen Qiming's words made Jay Chou lower his head.

Having said more, Chen Qiming didn't mind telling him something nice.

"I am very optimistic about your creative ability, although the media often say that so-and-so is Xiao Chen Qiming, but in my opinion, you are the one who really has the potential to come to my position!"

"Really?"

Hearing Chen Qiming's words, Jay Chou suddenly raised his head.

He didn't expect Chen Qiming to value him so much.

"Yes, I'm optimistic about you!" Chen Qiming nodded.

Later, he added: "You write a few songs yourself and hand them in, and the company will pick out three songs from them." ”

Of course, Chen Qiming won't really write a song for Jay Chou.

He's putting pressure on him.

Let him hand in the song first, if he can, use what he wrote, if not, Chen Qiming will write it for him again (well, copy his future songs for him).

After a few more words, Tao Zhe and Jay Chou left the office one after another, leaving only Chen Qiming and Liu Ciwei.

"Jay is too young, his composing ability is very good, but his lyric writing ability is very poor, I suggest that he be paired with a lyricist!"

When the two of them left, Liu Ciwei thought about it and suggested.

"Do you have any recommendations?"

Chen Qiming thought about it and felt that what Liu Ciwei said was good.

I don't really think Jay Chou has a good ability to write words!

He is not a famous college student like Chen Qiming.

He's just a middle school student now, and he has problems with his writing.

"The company recruited some lyricists, one of whom is named Fang Wenshan, who writes very well in ancient Chinese.

Didn't Jay really like the kind of old-fashioned songs you said! Just let him go and create with Jay. Liu Ciwei said.

"Fang Wenshan?" Chen Qiming looked surprised.

"Yes, you know him?" Liu Ciwei looked puzzled, Fang Wenshan had only joined the company for a long time, and logically speaking, he should not have been in contact with Chen Qiming.

"There has been contact! When he was in the crew of "The Legend of the New White Lady", he seemed to have played a little demon in it. ”

Chen Qiming said casually.

Fang Wenshan did act in "The Legend of the New White Lady", but the fact is that he has not had much contact with Chen Qiming at all.

Chen Qiming's impression of him is actually all from dream memories.

Since I met Jay Chou, there have naturally been more and more dreams about Jay Chou.

Among them, in addition to a large number of songs, there are also some characters related to him.

Among them, Fang Wenshan is one of the important roles.

According to the dream, Jay Chou can succeed, and Fang Wenshan occupies an important factor.

It was the two of them who collaborated to create classic ancient songs such as "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" and "Blue and White Porcelain", which created Jay Chou's reputation as the first person in the Chinese music scene in later generations.

Of course, with Chen Qiming's current status, he is not interested in these.

He was surprised that Fang Wenshan actually came to his starting point record for an interview.

It was a real surprise.

"Are there any new people in charge of the company who have more potential?"

The arrival of Fang Wenshan made Chen Qiming realize that the starting point record is no longer a small family.

He hadn't paid attention to the newcomers in the company for a long time, so he wanted to see if there were any newcomers in his dreams to join the company.

"Yes, a few days ago, when Wu Bai performed a promotional record in the middle school affiliated to Baodao Normal University, the music scene of the school's guitar club sang on stage.

I think this band called So Band is very good, and we are in the observation stage.

I've started to reach out to them, and I'm going to sign them later, and then let them perform in universities and bars for a while, and then make a record for them. ”

Liu Ciwei thought for a while and said.

"So Band?"

Chen Qiming thought about it in his mind for a while, but didn't find any information about this band, so he didn't pay attention to it.

"Look at the arrangement! You pay more attention to Jay's record, I shouldn't be staying long in Treasure Island.

I should go to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow. ”

After chatting with Liu Ciwei for a while, Chen Qiming asked Liu Ciwei to do his own work, and he walked around the company twice.

Starting Point Records has been established for more than a year, and the company has entered the formality.

There are nearly 20 behind-the-scenes personnel, including producers, lyricists and composers, sound recordists, and mastering processors.

In addition to the people who make records, there are also many people in other departments of the company.

The propaganda department in charge of publicity, this department is the department that Liu Ciwei is mainly responsible for, and currently has no less than 15 people, and the personnel of the department are all personnel recruited by Liu Ciwei from major TV stations and record companies, and they belong to people who bring their own resources.

In addition, there is a training department.

This is a department that is very important to starting point records, and newcomers to the company, whether they debut or not, have to train here.

The training included learning of various Chinese languages, singing teaching, and even several teachers were invited for dance.

Among them, Chen Qiming's own concert dance team also serves here.

Usually when he has nothing to do, he teaches the company's singers to learn dance, and when Chen Qiming holds a concert, he goes into battle as a backup dancer.

Together with various other personnel, the total number of people at the starting point has exceeded more than 70 people, which is the largest number of companies in the treasure island.

After walking around the company twice, Chen Qiming took Tao Zhe's record "Beach" and listened to it twice.

Tao Zhe's record has few golden songs, and if you want to sell it for money, you have to rely on quality.

Therefore, Chen Qiming attaches great importance to the production quality of records.

After listening to it twice, he felt that there was no problem, so Chen Qiming asked Liu Ciwei to arrange the promotion of the record as soon as possible, and then left the company.

Ding dong!

As soon as I got in the car and was about to drive home, my phone rang, it was a text message.

"Honey, when will you go back to Hong Kong, I miss you!" - Lai Zi.

After a glance, Chen Qiming didn't reply, ignited the car, and started to go home.

Since the last time she had another in-depth understanding on Treasure Island, Li Zi has insisted on texting Chen Qiming every day.

In the past two days, I may have known that Chen Qiming was about to return to Hong Kong, and her text messages were even more frequent.

Not only her, in recent days, Zhou Huimin, Li Jiaxin and even Li Ruotong have frequently sent him messages.

As for the reason! It was nothing more than because of the fact that the Treasure Island Province and the International Charity Association wrote a letter and called the White House directly for him.

The support of the two behemoths made Chen Qiming even hotter.

Everyone knows that Chen Qiming has a huge influence, and if you want to climb him, you basically don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life.
