Chapter 199 The power of self-healing in the world
“Tan Yonglin and Chen Baiqiang are okay, but it is a bit difficult to pull Xu Xiaofeng and Deng Lijun over.”
Liang Shuyi heard Su Cheng’s words, and She wasn't very surprised. It was obvious that she had known these people in advance.
"Oh? How difficult is it?" Su Cheng asked.
“Wenner Band just announced its disbandment this year, and all members of the band have begun personal development. As the lead singer of the band, Tan Yonglin, as far as I know, is still considering the next way out, and has not signed with other companies yet;
After Chen Baiqiang won the third place in the "Hong Kong Popular Song Creation Invitational Competition" with his self-composed English song "Rocky Road" in 1977, he was signed as a singer by TVB. I used to know him when I was an executive at TVB, and he was only a minor figure in TVB. For an ordinary signed singer, the liquidated damages are not high, and it is very easy to poach him;
Xu Xiaofeng just switched jobs from Eternal Records to Sony Records this year, and just released the album "Wind and Rain Together" for more than two months. 》sold more than 200,000 copies in Hong Kong. Liquidated damages are one thing, but whether she is willing to change jobs frequently is another difficulty;
Teng Lijun joined PolyGram Records in Hong Kong in 1975 and got the company. With strong support, she is now prosperous in Hong Kong, Wanwan, Southeast Asia and Japan. It is estimated that she is not very willing to change jobs. Our Jiayi Record Company is just a start-up company, and others may not like it. "
As expected, Liang Shuyi knows their situation very well.
"Mr. Liang, you know the Hong Kong music scene very well! "Su Cheng exclaimed.
"I don't know much about it. It's just that when you asked me to set up the record department at Jiayi, I specially asked someone to investigate the situation of the Hong Kong music scene, and I have a certain understanding of the general situation of the entire music scene." Liang Shuyi explained.
Su Cheng thought for a while, and then said: "It's up to you to handle Chen Baiqiang and Alan Tam and bring them to our company as soon as possible; it's up to you to contact Teresa Deng and Xu Xiaofeng secretly to contact them or their agents, when? I got in touch, find a time to make an appointment, and let me talk to them in person!"
An ordinary singer may not be worth talking to in person.
But Xu Xiaofeng and Deng Lijun are different. It can be said that these two singers are his favorites.
In addition, Xu Xiaofeng and Teresa Teng will be the pinnacle figures in the Chinese music scene in the future, and it is worthy of Su Cheng to personally invite them to join.
The influence of celebrities is too high for ordinary people.
This is an era of fan economy. Crazy fans can bring a lot of extended value to the company.
With so many industries under Sioux City, many popular artists are needed to advertise, so finding one of your own is the easiest thing.
This is why he attaches so much importance to the entertainment industry.
Although the entertainment industry is not as profitable as the technology industry, if done well, it can complement all industries.
"Boss, can you handle these two popular singers?" Liang Shuyi asked in surprise.
"I have my own way. You will naturally know when the time comes. By the way, how much is their liquidated damages?" Su Cheng asked.
"Both of them are now top-notch singers. The liquidated damages start at least several million Hong Kong dollars. I still need to inquire about the specific amount." Liang Shuyi thought for a while and said.
In the 1970s, millions of Hong Kong dollars were already very high, so it may not seem like much, but for singers of this era, millions of Hong Kong dollars are definitely a huge sum of money.
If the price exceeds hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, Sioux City will have to consider it.
Millions of Hong Kong dollars, for Sioux City, can only be said to be pocket money.
“Well, I’ll leave the singer’s matter to you. Get it done for me as soon as possible. If these four singers are brought over, it will be of great help to Jiayi Record Company. From now on, Jiayi TV Station will do this every year A large-scale singer audition can be held to attract more outstanding new singers. If you meet the right ones, keep them.
I predict that in the future music scene, they will enter. In this era of bright stars, you must seize this good opportunity and do well. I fully support it!”
The music scene in the 1970s may have been calm.
But the music scene in the 1980s was destined to be the beginning of the peak of Hong Kong entertainment.
"Okay, boss, I will complete the things you arranged as soon as possible. For the two singers Chen Baiqiang and Tan Yonglin, I will try to bring them to our side within a week. As for the other two, if we contact I will talk to you boss right away.
TV, movies, and records are all very important parts of the entertainment industry. I will not just focus on TV stations and movies and ignore the music industry. ." Liang Shuyi said solemnly.
"By the way, how are the preparations for "Shanghai Bund" going?" Su Cheng asked.
If we don’t prepare to start filming, maybe TVB will start writing the script. When the time comes, both parties will find that the content is exactly the same, and it will be embarrassing not to know who it is.
"Boss, you can rest assured that we have already made preparations for the crew of "Shanghai Bund", but we have not yet determined all the actors.
Last time, you suggested that Zhou Runfa and Zhao Yazhi should be cast As a couple, I secretly made an appointment with them, and successfully got them to switch jobs last week.
After auditions, we found that what you recommended, boss, is really good, and they are very suitable for this TV series.
When we hired Zhao Yazhi, it went very smoothly. After we raised the salary, she quickly agreed to our request and directly broke the contract and came over from TVB.
< br>As for Zhou Runfa, originally I couldn’t talk to him, because now TVB values him very much and is preparing to train him to become a film and television superstar. Even if I increase his salary to 50% higher than TVB’s, he will still Not moved at all.
But later on, when I heard that you, the boss, asked me to recruit him and appoint him to be the leading actor in an important TV series, he actually agreed. I have to say, it is because of you, boss, that you have the most respect.
In addition, after Zhou Runfa secretly reached an agreement with us, after I showed him the script, he recommended Lu Liangwei, who also debuted in the TVB artist training class, to play the role of Ding Li, but we have not yet Decide. ”
Liang Shuyi reported in detail the specific progress of "Shanghai Bund".
The reason why Zhou Runfa agreed to change jobs was probably because of a previous meeting that made the boss in Su Cheng stay with Zhou Runfa He made a very good impression.
Moreover, Jiayi TV Station is now in full swing, and the benefits here are much better than those at TVB. If Jiayi TV Station values him as much as TVB, then It doesn't matter where he is.
However, Su Cheng did not expect that Zhou Runfa would suggest Lu Liangwei to take on the role of Ding Li.
Because in another world, it was Lu Liangwei who played the important role of Ding Li.
Even if the development history is changed by Suzhou City, some trends will gradually move closer to the trends of another world.
Su Cheng has to wonder, is this the world's self-healing power?
