Chapter 55: Music Geek Liu Dawei

In the next time, Bai Shuo was dragged by Nie Dong and did not leave the imperial capital, and he had to discuss a bunch of things in Shengshi Huazhang Company with Bai Shuo. And Bai Shuo is now the second largest shareholder of Shengshi Huazhang, and it is indeed unreasonable to completely leave it alone at the beginning of the company's formation. Fortunately, the current A-share market is recovering, and it is almost time for pigs to fly up to make money, and the United States is still calm for the time being, so that Bai Shuo can rest assured that he can stay in the imperial capital for a few more days. After some enthusiastic and intense communication with Liang Ying on the phone, after Liang Ying repeatedly greeted Bai Shuo and his uncle for his health, the two reached a consensus again in a peaceful atmosphere.

Nie Dong is worthy of being a rich second generation who can do things, and he organized the funds in place in two days, and started the company's related procedures such as industry and commerce, taxation, etc. Even Jay immediately called over 10 million funds after returning to Treasure Island. Although Nie Dong did not urge Bai Shuo, Bai Shuo is not a person who drags mud and water. cheekily called Liang Ying again.

"What, you've had enough fun in just two days, and you're ready to come back?" Liang Ying was a little sarcastic on the phone.

"Well, this one, maybe for a while, hehe. Bai Shuo said embarrassedly.

"And what instructions do you have?"

Bai Shuo pretended not to hear that Liang Ying was still angry, and then said: "That, do you think it's convenient to transfer 10 million to me? ”

"What, you were kidnapped and asked for ransom?" Liang Ying asked aloud in surprise.

"Well, no, I'm going to do something here. ”

"What are you playing? Ten million. If you want to gamble and go to Tai O, if you want to play a female star, I will introduce you to Hong Kong Island. Hey, no, isn't there a Chen Bing next to you......"

Hearing Liang Ying's more and more undisciplined, Bai Shuo quickly interrupted him and said, "What are you talking about? I'm going to form a company with Dongzi and Chen Bing here, and by the way, Jay will also join." ”

"What? start a company, and Jay, which Jay is the treasure island?" Liang Ying was surprised again.

Bai Shuo had no choice but to tell Liang Ying about the past few days in the imperial capital on the phone. After listening, Liang Ying felt incredible, and after being silent for a long time, she said: "You and Jay don't even call me for hot pot." ”

Bai Shuo didn't expect Liang Ying to be a fan of Jay, so he had to say: "That, I promised Jay to eat authentic hot pot in Shudu next time, you must be there then, hehe." ”

After some soft grinding and hard bubbles, 10 million finally arrived, but this money was to be deducted from Bai Shuo's future dividends, after all, Shengshi Huazhang Company is Bai Shuo's personal investment, and it has nothing to do with Liang Ying.

Next, Nie Dong is ready to hold a general meeting of shareholders to discuss the company's next business development direction. Jay is in Treasure Island, and said that he will not participate in the operation of the company in the future, and if the company needs him, he can communicate at any time.

In view of the large number of people and the strength of the teamwork, in addition to convening several shareholders of Bai Shuo, Chen Bing and Duan Lei, Nie Dong also invited some key personnel of the company to attend the meeting. At the meeting, Nie Dong specially made a PPT to talk about the company's future development direction and specific plans. In Duan Lei's design, in addition to some conventional management departments, the company will focus on four key business lines, and set up their own business divisions.

The first aspect of the business is the company's existing music record business. The main development direction is to excavate and train singers, and engage in music production and promotion. At present, there are three main tasks: one is to continue to re-promote Chen Bing, in addition to normal interviews, performances, and advertising schedules, the core goal is to launch the second chapter album before the Spring Festival Gala next year and before the New Year. The second is to release Nie Dong's new album within two months, and complete the production and promotion of Duan Lei's new album around October. Shengshi Huazhang Company cannot rely on Chen Bing alone, and must continue to expand the company's influence. The third is to discover and cultivate a new generation of singers. With the company's current power, it is not enough to attract and recruit famous singers. Although it is difficult to cultivate a new singer in the current period of decline in popular music, if you can find a few high-potential and successfully launch them, the benefits will be greater than attracting famous singers.

The second aspect is the film and television development business, the main development direction is to explore and train actors and artists, and engage in film and television investment and production. At present, many stars are diversified, and it is difficult for a single singing star to last unless he has top strength and popularity. At this stage, the main consideration is to participate in the investment of several films, accumulate experience, and build a team.

The third is the cultural communication business, the main development direction is committed to cultural promotion, the development of emerging cultural industries, engaged in film and television advertising, online and offline cinemas, event planning, cultural media communication and other businesses. We are going to consider acquiring one or two media companies and public relations planning companies to use them as a carrier to promote the development of this business.

The fourth aspect is the cultural industry investment business, the main development direction is to explore humanities, geography and culture, and invest in the cultural real economy. Engaged in folk culture inheritance, humanistic tourism development, geographical culture promotion and other businesses. The first specific preparation is to explore some locations with humanistic culture, packaging, development and promotion. The second is to find and explore the inheritance of traditional culture and skills, and set up a cultural inheritance assistance fund to encourage the development of national culture and traditional skills. For some distinctive and commercial value, after gaining popularity, use it as a carrier to develop the cultural industry.

Finally, while building the four major business sectors, we will build nests to attract phoenixes and absorb and recruit relevant talents. The stall is wide, and it can't be done without the support of talents.

Everyone appreciates Nie Dong's development plan very much. After thinking about it carefully, Bai Shuo put forward some suggestions for this plan:

First, the traditional way of music packaging and promotion will soon have no market, after these three albums this year, we must consider the transformation of the music business, as for how to turn, we still need more professional producers and planners to study with us.

The second is to set up a special artist management department, as a support for music, film and television business, since artists are now diversified development, there is no need to divide so clearly, of course, the business sector can be distinguished, but artists can be managed in a unified manner. At the same time, the department is also responsible for the selection and training of reserve artists, and the company will take the independent training route of artists in the future.

Third, the film and television investment business should increase the investment in physical theaters, and you can find a powerful real estate company to cooperate with the theater to promote the real estate economy with the theater, and protect the popularity of the theater with real estate projects. After reaching a certain scale in the country, the cinema business can even promote film and television investment and production in turn.

After listening to Bai Shuo's opinion, Nie Dong felt very constructive, but for the issue of investing in theaters, Shengshi Huazhang is still a small company after all, and if it wants to build theaters all over the country, it does not have that strength.

Bai Shuo told Nie Dong that this should be planned first, and all the company's projects involving mergers and acquisitions and large-scale investment should not be started for the time being, and put it in two years, which is just the right time to gather strength.

Nie Dong felt very strange, why two years later. Bai Shuo told him that he had a premonition that there would be a global economic crisis, and that he would be able to pick up bargains everywhere now.

On the other hand, after Jay returned to Treasure Island, he quickly found a famous veteran music producer, Liu Dawei, known as the "music geek". It is said that he is strange because he acts informally, and he often does things out of common sense, and he can often find another way to surprise in music production. It often achieves good results in places that no one is optimistic about or cares about. He also happened to have the intention of developing in the mainland recently, and after listening to Jay's praise, he decided to visit Shengshi Huazhang Company.

On this day, Nie Dong, Bai Shuo, Chen Bing, and Duan Lei chartered a business car to meet Liu Dawei at the airport. Liu Dawei is a prestigious musician, and seeing him at this moment is also full of excitement for Chen Bing, Nie Dong, and Duan Lei. As soon as Liu Dawei appeared, he was immediately discovered by Chen Bing. Bai Shuo looked at Liu Dawei slightly, in his 50s, about 1.75 meters tall, slightly fat, with medium-length hair that was black and shiny, dressed more elegantly, and a proud confidence on his face. At first glance, it is a category that has been under the prestige for too long, arrogant and domineering. Chen Bing just wanted to greet him enthusiastically, but Bai Shuo grabbed Chen Bing, shook his head slightly, and then said to Nie Dong: "Such a person is not a little enthusiastic, a few more smiles can be impressed, the more intentional we are, the more obvious it is, let's test it first." ”

Nie Dong immediately understood what Bai Shuo meant, now everyone is just intentional contact, if the enthusiasm is excessive, it is easy to be despised by others. Even if we work together in the future, we will always feel inferior. Immediately asked, "What then?"

Bai Shuo said: "Not humble or arrogant, polite and courteous, warm and thoughtful, and strong to speak." ”

After speaking, he greeted him first, and said politely to Liu Dawei, "Hello Mr. Dawei, I am Bai Shuo of Shengshi Huazhang." At the same time, he stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Liu Dawei.

Liu Dawei also nodded with a smile, and then stretched out his right hand and shook it gently. Said: "You are Gengzi, right? ”

Then Chen Bing and several people also met with Liu Dawei in turn and introduced themselves. After a brief greeting, Liu Dawei was picked up in the business car.

In the car, Nie Dong asked: "Teacher Dawei, do you think I should send you back to the hotel to rest first, and then prepare a welcome dinner in the evening......

"No, let's go straight to your company. I want to get down to business first and don't want to waste time. Liu Dawei directly interrupted Nie Dong, although there was no problem with such an answer, it seemed too businesslike and unreasonable.

After a while, Nie Dong stopped talking, and just asked the driver to drive in the direction of the company. Bai Shuo and Duan Lei sat in the back and didn't say much. Only Chen Bing was next to Dawei in the car, and he could talk to Liu Dawei about it, and tell him about the places he passed by outside the window from time to time. Chen Bing was already very affinity, and Liu Dawei, a teacher on the left and a teacher on the right, was happy.

Soon arrived at the company, Liu Dawei, accompanied by everyone, turned the corners of the company, from the company's operation, business composition, staffing, to equipment models, environmental sanitation have been understood. Finally, I talked to everyone in the recording room. Originally, Nie Dong wanted to invite him to the conference room, but Dawei said that the musician should be in the place where the musician stays, and the tea party turned into a live work meeting.

In the recording room, Duan Lei showed some of the songs that the company was preparing to launch recently and had not yet been finalized. While playing the song Bai Shuo, he observed Dawei's expression, and after listening to a few more songs, Dawei finally had some smiles on his face again, and said: "These songs of yours are quite rare, in the current era of lack of excellent original songs, it's barely okay." ”

Hearing Dawei say this, everyone asked him for some professional questions about creation, arrangement, and tuning. But Dawei said: "There is a tuner for tuning, a lyricist for writing and composing, and a soundtrack for arranging...... I don't really understand these things you are talking about, so I can't give you much advice. ”

Everyone was stunned, this Dawei is really a geek, everyone is good at what he says, but he says that he can't do anything. Everyone knows that these are the basic qualities of a musician, and it is impossible not to understand them as a prestigious musician.

At this time, Bai Shuo asked: "Then what do you know about Teacher Dawei?" In fact, Bai Shuo's words are also a little targeted, since you said that you don't understand, then there are always people who understand. When you come to this non-highlight unique activity, I'm afraid you can't get through the tricks.

Dawei obviously understood what Bai Shuo meant, and said with a slight smile: "Although I only know a little about these things, I know how to control the whole of music, I know what kind of concert to achieve what effect, and what kind of crowd will like it." I can still convey the feeling I want to everyone......"

After speaking, he took out a disc from his bag, gave it to Duan Lei, signaled him to play it, and said: "This is a not very outstanding song in Xiaoice's album, I feel that this song is actually highly malleable after listening to it, so I asked my music team to recreate this song and change a style, you listen." ”

When the music melody sounds, I can't hear which song is Chen Bing at all, only when I enter the lyrics part does it suddenly turn out to be this one, but the style of this song has completely changed, except for the arrangement, soundtrack, and rhythm have changed, and the tune and lyrics in the middle have only changed slightly. But it sounds like the overall effect is much better than the original one.

After listening to the song, everyone praised it, and Chen Bing called for adding this style version of the song to his next album again. David agreed with a smile and said: "Every song has her soul, there is no bad music, only bad production." As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Shuo contemptuously. Bai Shuo just responded with a smile, he already knew that this music geek should not be in vain, he was indeed talented.
