Jianguo Hotel.
Yang Ye quickly flipped through the newspaper and found a report about the "90 Modern Concert".
These reports are arranged in nooks and crannies. There are not many, but they are not good things.
A piece of news said that spectators trampled on more than 2,000 chairs at the Capital Gymnasium, severely condemning this act of vandalism.
Yang Yexin said, after losing this money, they won’t pay for this concert, right?
There was also an old artist's opinion on this concert in the newspaper, and his words were quite fierce. He said: "Rock and roll should not appear on the stage in the capital!"
Yang Ye put down the newspaper, After thinking about it, he said to Zhang Peiren: "Mainstream public opinion still scorns rock and roll. It's not easy for you to go down this road!
If you want to sign with them, of course you can, but you have to go through screening and find a few A reliable band comes to sign.”
“What about the others?”
“Let some people eat meat and some people go hungry. That’s the only way to sign. Talents have a sense of crisis and will not look for trouble all day long.”
Zhang Peiren said in his heart, Damn it, you are such a grandson.
He has been in the capital for so long that he has learned a few phrases in Beijing movies. Now when he speaks, you will be embarrassed at every turn.
Zhang Peiren said: "But I think this trick may not work for them."
"Why?"
Zhang Peiren said: "These people are engaged in rock music. For freedom, for ideals, not for money.
Otherwise, why not do a good job? Some of them had pretty good jobs.
Lao Wu of the Tang Dynasty, who was originally in the maritime administration, resigned.
Zhao Mingyi, the drummer of the Black Panthers, has been awarded a military rank and received 150 yuan a month, and resigned.
There is also Wei Hua, the lead singer of Breathing, a pillar of CCTV, how many people dream of it? Just say goodbye. "
Yang Ye curled his lips and said: "That's because they don't get enough money. Of course, they can just leave 150 yuan a month. What if it's 15,000 yuan? Or even 150,000? ”
"This..." Zhang Peiren was speechless for a moment.
Yang Ye said sincerely: "Don't think that if you provide them with a superior environment, provide them with high-quality musical instruments, and pay them wages, they will be grateful to you.
You You must understand that our record company makes more money than they do, and we sign them because they are valuable.
In this case, we are just using them to make money. We are just cooperating, so where is the favor?
And not only are these people unruly, they also live in a different environment than you and I, and there is no spirit of contract.
Even if you sign a contract with him, it's useless. Not only will they not abide by it, they might even cheat on you. ”
Zhang Peiren thought he was helping these gangsters, but in the eyes of these gangsters, this Taiwanese guy was just a profiteer who came to defraud them of their copyright.
Many years later , Dou Wei said that these Taiwanese people are not here to support mainland rock music, but to dominate the country.
"That is simply a conspiracy. ”
Look! Signing a contract with you, paying you wages, buying you musical instruments, distributing records, making you famous, in the end it became a conspiracy.
Speaking of the evil deeds of the Guners, Yang Ye knew a little bit.
The boys used to rely on rock music to make a living, but suddenly they signed a contract with a company and had money, so they naturally showed no mercy when it came to spending money.
One band booked the presidential suite for a year, and another band took relatives and friends to Wangfujing to eat for tens of thousands of yuan and wait for the producer to reimburse them.
Someone secretly steals the master tapes from the recording studio and sells them to pirates.
He Yong went directly to Dadi Records with two axes to grab the master tapes.
The Faces band had a falling out with the Taiwanese producer Fang Xingxing, so they robbed him halfway.
Zhang Peiren is a passionate person. The "Magic Rock Records" he founded once made China's rock music half popular, but it ended sadly after a few years.
The Stones suffered too many losses and recalled Zhang Peiren to Taiwan.
Zhang Peiren himself didn’t understand. Why did he lose so much despite being such a hit?
After returning to Taiwan, he bought a copy of "Twelve Lessons on Understanding Statements" and began to learn finance.
...
As for the domestic rock music group, they have produced some works, and they are worthy of inclusion.
But Yang Ye has no interest in doing loss-making business, so it is impossible to let these people do whatever they want.
Yang Ye said: "If you want to move rock from underground to the ground, you must first establish a positive image of rock singers and let society know that they are not destroyers and they will not create chaos.
Lao Cui is currently touring China in the name of raising funds for the Asian Games charity show, but if you look at the news, the wind is blowing along the way, and the audience is either smashing chairs or burning the program.
To the officials, this is creating chaos. You see, Lao Cui's performance will be stopped in less than three months, and he may even...not be able to perform on stage for a long time. ”
Zhang Peiren was a little speechless. He knew there were restrictions in the mainland, but he didn’t expect them to be so big, and Yang Ye obviously knew China better than he did.
At Yang Ye’s suggestion, Zhang Peiren decided to first Signed the Tang Dynasty band and released an album for them. At the same time, he also packaged them and created an inspirational image to help them get on stage.
Yang. Ye expressed his approval. Among the many bands in Beijing, choosing Tang Dynasty is undoubtedly the most correct one.
Songs from the Tang Dynasty were more atmospheric and their lyrics had more Chinese flavor.
The opening chapter of "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" reads: Chrysanthemums, ancient swords and wine, soaked in coffee into the noisy pavilion. Foreign people worship the ancient moon in the Temple of the Sun, and the prosperous Kaiyuan era is fascinating...
As for other bands, they can select some good works and release a compilation album.
......
In addition to pursuing his rock career, Zhang Peiren also found talents from the mainland to participate in "The Voice of China", and he was not left behind. In the past few months, he had been hanging around major bars in the capital, visited some colleges and universities, and shortlisted some lists.
As for those rockers, most of those who engage in rock music have a broken voice, and participating in this kind of competition is just to give away food.
Of course there are also good ones. Liang Bo from "The Voice of China Season 1" sang rock and roll throughout and won the championship in the end.
In the capital now, there is an enhanced version of Liang Bo, that is Dou Wei.
Among the "Three Heroes of Demonic Rock", he is the only one who sings well. The other two, He Yong and Zhang Chu, all rely on their singing skills.
Dou Wei has a metallic voice, is born to sing rock music, and is extremely handsome.
If he participates in "The Voice of China", he will definitely be popular and criticized.
However, Zhang Peiren said: "Dou Wei refused to participate in "The Voice of China" because he did not want to stand on the stage and be commented on."
Yang Yexin said, hey, he is really stepping on the horse. He has personality and is worthy of being the king of forcing.
Yang Ye said: "Forget it, there is a bronze band called... Bronze Band, have you heard of it?"
Zhang Peiren asked curiously: "How do you know this band?"
Yang Ye lied casually: "Last time I went to meet a friend, there was a band performing in the bar. The lead singer sang well, casually After asking, it seems to be called this name. "
Zhang Peiren said: "It turns out that this Bronze Band is not famous and can only be used to warm up the audience when Tang Dynasty and Black Panther perform. .”
“Help us get them out and meet them!”
……
Gao Dagen and Lao Lang took a train from Beijing to Guangzhou with 400 yuan, and then traveled all the way until they finally arrived in Sanya and found a bar that invited them to sing.
By this time, they had spent all their money, and if they couldn't stay at the bar, they would go hungry.
Haida patted Lao Lang's shoulder tightly: "Brother, it's up to you!"
The interview went very smoothly. Lao Lang impressed the boss with Qi Qin's "Wolf" and successfully stayed in the company. I sang in a bar for ten yuan a night, which was a pretty good salary.
However, after only singing for a week, it became a tragedy.
Because Lao Lang sang so beautifully, a foreman in the karaoke hall fell in love with him and secretly gave them some snacks and other things in the karaoke hall.
The two of them had a bad meal and were fired by their boss.
The two unlucky guys left the karaoke hall with a salary of seventy yuan, staring at each other.
The old wolf sighed and said: "What can I do with this little money?"
Daqing didn't take it seriously, he laughed and said: "I'll tell you where the grass is at the end of the world. Look, When we brothers come to this end of the world, isn’t your grass here?”
The old wolf said: "Don't be poor, we don't even have enough travel expenses to go back!"
"Isn't this simple? You used a trick on the foreman, everyone is yours, why do you have to worry about the travel expenses?"< br>
“Why don’t you use a beauty trick?”
“She likes you but not me. Besides, aren’t you two in love?”
< br>"Who is in love with her?"
"Then why did you help her carry the thunder and say that we ate it ourselves?"
"What else should we do? People kindly gave us food to eat, and we shook them out? Are we still men? ?”
“Hey, you didn’t see it. When we left, the girl looked at you and her eyes were red. She must have cried a lot, maybe more than you cried the night you broke up. Still ruthless."
Qi Dagen suddenly mentioned Lao Lang's sad story. Lao Lang became angry and raised his eyebrows: "Are you done?"
Pan Qian is Lao Lang's first love. It was very important in his heart. Saying this was like pouring salt on the old wolf's wound. It would be strange if the old wolf wasn't angry.
Xiao Daqing knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly waved his hand and said: "Okay, it's my fault, I won't say it anymore."
Take out 70 yuan and pat the old wolf's hand, and said: " Go back!"
"Go back to where?"
"Go back to the capital, school is about to start, you can't go to school?"
"What about you?"
"I don't need to go to school. I have decided to drop out."
"Are you crazy? You went to Tsinghua University!"
"What's wrong with Tsinghua University? I don't want to go to Tsinghua University." "
"Then I can't leave you here alone?"
"Who said I want to stay here?"
"Then where are you going?"
Kuaida stared at the sea in the distance and said calmly: "Brother, I plan to go wandering!"
Old Wolf thought for a while and divided the money into two parts. Said: "Let's get half of it each."
"Put it down, this money will be enough to cover your travel expenses back home, and you will have to go hungry. Give me half, and you will have to beg for food when you go back."
"Then I can't abandon you!"
"I left you behind and left!"
Qiao Daqing waved his hand and walked away coolly.
The old wolf looked at this guy’s back, his eyes were red! (End of this chapter)
