Chapter 198 Four Singers
The two returned to the general manager's office one after another. Liang Shuyi poured a glass of water for Su Cheng and then sat down opposite Su Cheng.
"I see that you are not in good spirits. You have dark circles under both eyes. You should also pay attention to rest while working!" Su Cheng observed Liang Shuyi carefully and couldn't help but say.
"It's okay. The workload has increased all of a sudden recently. I need time to adapt slowly, so I often stay up late and work overtime. It will be fine after a while." Liang Shuyi said nonchalantly.
Originally, she was in charge of a TV station, which already had a lot of work.
Nowadays, the TV station has not only added many TV series shooting plans, but also added film departments, brokerage departments, etc., and the workload can be said to have skyrocketed.
So, it is normal for Liang Shuyi to be unable to adapt to it all of a sudden.
“As your business increases, you should increase your manpower appropriately. Movies should have film directors, agents should have agent directors, and the record department should have record department directors. You don’t have to do everything. Take it all and do it yourself," Su Cheng said seriously.
Liang Shuyi's work ability is recognized by the Hong Kong TV industry, and Su Cheng also hopes that she can help him build this entertainment empire, instead of breaking down his body because of being too tired.
“I know that Sanyo Headhunting Company is already looking for suitable managers from film companies and entertainment companies. Before finding them, we have to build a team. Don’t worry, boss, I’m still young. This is hard. I can handle it," Liang Shuyi said with a smile.
What a dedicated subordinate!
Leaving aside the issue of ability, Su Cheng highly recognizes Liang Shuyi’s work attitude.
Anyone who is a boss likes to have subordinates like this.
Of course, Su City still recognizes Liang Shuyi’s ability.
"This is too messy. You might as well separate the film department, record department, and brokerage department from Jiayi TV Station, and set up separate branches, Jiayi Film Company, Jiayi Brokerage Company, Jiayi Record Company, since you said before that you are confident in managing this responsibility, now you will try to coordinate the management as the interim group president. Every company, including Jiayi TV Station, must have relevant responsibilities. People, and what you need to do is to take charge of the overall situation and let all companies complete the planned work perfectly," Su Cheng drank a glass of water and then said.
Liang Shuyi definitely has some abilities. When she was at TVB, she was in charge of the TV program department at that time. Liang Shuyi lived up to expectations. She used innovative techniques to create many successful programs and film and television dramas. These works all caused a lot of excitement at the time. It was a sensation, which also allowed TVB to temporarily assume the position of the first brother of Xiangjiang TV Station among the three major TV stations.
It is precisely because of this that Jiashi decided to poach Liang Shuyi, hoping to save Jiashi, which was suffering from serious losses.
Unfortunately, Jiashi itself has defects due to various reasons and is already in a critical condition. If it is not treated from the root, no matter how powerful the person is, it will be difficult to save it.
It’s like a terminal cancer patient who seeks a miracle doctor. The miracle doctor cannot cure the patient. At most, it can only prolong the patient’s life cycle.
But Su Cheng’s entry into the game completely changed Jiashi’s foundation and completely eliminated its condition from the root.
Under such circumstances, Liang Shuyi, who is capable, can naturally manage Jiashi very well.
Now, since Liang Shuyi is ambitious and wants to move to a higher position, Su Cheng will naturally satisfy her.
If she is qualified, Su Cheng would not mind letting her become the number one sister in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
“Boss, when it comes to record companies, I have a problem right now, that is, there is a lack of good songs and good singers.
Whether it is a film company or an agency, it is easy to do it. The film company is With the movie scripts you gave me, boss, it is only a matter of time before I build a top film company in Hong Kong. And the brokerage company is even simpler. The most important thing in Hong Kong is the brokerage company. After I established the brokerage department, I have hired more than a dozen of them so far. A brokerage consultant came over. Currently, all the artists in Jiayi TV have signed strict contracts with us.
As for record companies, singers can temporarily choose capable artists from TV stations to serve as part-time jobs, but good songs are not easy to come by, and good singers are even harder to find. "
Liang Shuyi knew that there must be good songs here in Su City, because Su City had said before that he could provide future songs, so she took the opportunity to say it.
One sentence , I want a song!
“I have the song, but I want you to find four singers to join Jiayi Records. "Su Cheng thought for a while and said.
"Four singers? Who?" Liang Shuyi became curious.
"Xu Xiaofeng, Tan Yonglin, Chen Baiqiang and Deng Lijun!" Su Cheng laughed.
Four singers, two men and two women.
In the 1970s, Hong Kong singers were not very outstanding in the entire Hong Kong music scene.
It’s not like the 80s/90s, it’s just like the stars!
In the Hong Kong music scene of this era, Xu Guanjie is definitely the leading male singer.
The Wenner band that Tan Yonglin belongs to is also relatively outstanding, but now the Wenner band has disbanded and developed their own careers.
The Chen Baiqiang Su Cheng mentioned has been in Xiangjiang for two years and is somewhat famous!
Speaking of which, Tan Yonglin and Chen Baiqiang are also very good friends. Chen Baiqiang was a guest singer in the Winner band before his debut.
As for female singers, in the 1970s, the most popular singer in Hong Kong was Xu Xiaofeng. She has been among the top ten singers in Hong Kong all year round.
As for Teresa Teng, although she is from Wanwan, the Hong Kong PolyGram record company she is currently signed to can be regarded as a singer developing in Hong Kong.
Why not find Xu Guanjie? It was because Su Cheng felt that Xu Guanjie's peak period in the music industry was basically in the 1970s. After the 1980s, his focus had been on his film career, and Su Cheng could not find so many suitable songs for him. .
Tan Yonglin is different. Although he debuted early and it has been 10 years now, his peak period in the music scene was in the 1980s and 1990s. Sioux City was able to provide him with many songs that suit him.
As for Xu Xiaofeng and Teresa Teng, these two top Chinese female singers, Su Cheng has heard their songs since she was a child and they have been popular for decades, so naturally she does not want to miss them.
In the future of Xiangjiang, there is another female singer whose achievements are no less than those of Xu Xiaofeng and Deng Lijun. She is Mei Yanfang. However, Mei Yanfang is only 15 years old now and has not yet made her debut. Su Cheng was naturally not in a hurry to take her for his own use.
Su Cheng plans to bring these three top Chinese female singers together to create a holy place for Chinese singers.
In addition, there are many outstanding singers who appeared in the 1980s, such as Leslie Cheung, Huang Jiaju, Zhang Xueyou, Liu Dehua, etc. Su Cheng will also let the record company take them for his own use later. Now is not the time. So take your time.
What we need to do now is to let Liang Shuyi get these four singers first.
