Dreams of the Fragrant River

Huaxing Records. [;Starting]

Wei Qishan stood on the side nervously, lowered her head and dared not speak. There were other people in the office. The music producer who was usually grumpy and often scolded Wei Qishan, was now facing Fang Yihua, who had a cold face, and dared not say a word.

As the champion of the first Chinese Rookie Singing Contest, Wei Qishan is undoubtedly a lucky one. Not only did she successfully sign with Huaxing Company, but she also quickly released her first album. Although this record has only 6 songs, and 4 of them are old songs covered, Wei Qishan is already very satisfied.

The album has been on the market for more than a week, and the sales have reached more than 8,000 copies, which is very rare for a new singer.

The current record holder for the sales of a single album by a Hong Kong singer is Xu Guanjie five years ago, which has sold more than 400,000 copies in Hong Kong. No one could break this record until Kang Jianfei crossed the line. Later, Jacky Cheung's sales also broke 400,000, but it still did not exceed it.

After Xu Guanjie, Xu Xiaofeng will be counted. In recent years, Xu Xiaofeng's sales of three consecutive albums in Hong Kong have exceeded 300,000. In the back row are Tan Yonglin, Chen Baiqiang and others, with sales between 50,000 and 300,000.

Sales of more than 50,000 are platinum albums, and they are considered top-tier popular singers. Generally, new singers can sell more than 10,000 sales, even if they are an instant hit.

If there is no Anita Mui, then Wei Qishan's first record of the champion can be regarded as a successful conclusion to the first Chinese Rookie Singing Contest.

But the reality is that there is no "if", and now the streets are playing Anita Mui's songs. Especially that one, whether it is a karaoke hall, nightclub, dance hall, coffee shop, video store or department store, the familiar melody can be heard everywhere.

Although the popular record company did not announce the sales volume, there is no doubt that the champion of the singing contest lost to Anita Mui, who was eliminated.

Fang Yihua was silent for a while with a gloomy face, but finally she didn't scold, she waved her hand and said, "Let's go out, A Fen and A Quan stay."

Wei Qishan and her producer fled the office quickly, leaving only the two heads of Huaxing Records, Chen Shufen and Chen Liuquan.

Fang Yihua stared at them and said, "This time your singing contest went well. Anita Mui was just an accident. Now it's very popular, we don't need to fight with Pop Records to get a head start. The most important thing is to find out well. Singer and writing good songs, we need to find a young singer who has potential but is not too popular now and focus on training."

Chen Shufen said, "Lishi has a signed singer and actor named Leslie Cheung. I think that young man has great potential and looks handsome."

Fang Yihua is now in charge of TVB, and her biggest opponent is Li's TV station. Naturally, she is very familiar with the situation on Li Shi's side. As soon as Chen Shufen mentioned Leslie Cheung, she immediately had an impression.

Fang Yihua pondered: "Zhang Guorong is well-known for acting in TV dramas in LiTV, and he is quite valued there. It should be difficult to dig over."

Chen Shufen explained: "I have a good relationship with Zhang Guorong's singing teacher Li Xiaotian. Some time ago, he revealed that he wanted to take Zhang Guorong away from Li Shi."

Fang Yihua heard that he can poach a popular star. Immediately, he was shocked. Asked, "Is there such a thing?"

Chen Shufen said in detail: "Zhang Guorong was the runner-up in the Liv Singing Contest 4 years ago, and was rated as the most promising newcomer by the newspaper at that time. However, after signing the contract with Li Shi, Li Shi's packaging and publicity efforts have been insufficient, and he Zhang Guorong did not have a correct positioning. As a result, Zhang Guorong's albums have been selling poorly. Li Xiaotian is very dissatisfied with this, and there has been a dispute within Lishi recently, so he wants to leave Lishi with Zhang Guorong."

Fang Yihua did not immediately agree, but said, "Bring Zhang Guorong's record to me and listen to it."

Chen Shufen went out immediately, and found several records of Zhang Guorong more than ten minutes later, while Chen Liuquan took out the record player and played the song in the office.

When Fang Yihua was young, she was a popular beauty singer in Southeast Asia. Later, she was brought to Hong Kong by Shao Yifu. She originally wanted to hide her in a golden house. However, Fang Yihua quickly showed his management skills. So he was arranged by Shao Yifu to enter the Shaw Brothers Company and climbed to the current position step by step.

Fang Yihua's music appreciation is even much better than that of Chen Shufen and Chen Liuquan. After listening to Zhang Guorong's songs, he immediately made a decision: "I must sign this singer, along with his teacher Li Xiaotian (songwriter). Dig in."

Chen Shufen said: "I'm afraid I can't be in a hurry now. Zhang Guorong's contract with Li Shi will expire next year, and it will cost hundreds of thousands more to poach people now."

Fang Yihua has more control over costs than Shao Yifu, and immediately said, "Then talk about it first, and then poach people next year. Besides Zhang Guorong, are there any other candidates?"

Chen Liuquan hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but say, "Xu Xiaofeng's record contract is also full next year."

Fang Yihua had the urge to roll his eyes, and said directly: "Xu Xiaofeng, don't think about it, now Huaxing Records has just started, focusing on discovering newcomers."

Chen Liuquan coughed awkwardly and said, "Yes, I will pay attention to finding new people."

Why did Fang Yihua refuse to dig Xu Xiaofeng?

Because Xu Xiaofeng is a well-deserved sister in the Hong Kong music scene today, not only has the record sales exceeded 300,000 copies in a row, but the company signed is a giant record company like Columbia. Last year, Xu Xiaofeng sang in a nightclub, and the singing fee reached a sky-high price of 100,000. I heard that a private party even asked for 200,000.

How much is a record now? This summer it only rose to more than 20 yuan.

An average singer needs to sell 100,000 records to get Xu Xiaofeng to sing a song in a nightclub.

Huaxing Company, which has just transformed into a regular record company, how can it be qualified to sign such a diva-level singer? That's purely self-inflicted.

…………

St. Stephen's Church Middle School is holding a grand celebration.

The voice of the student host came from the stage: "There is a program over there, and Jiang Hongyan, a classmate of Class 2, Secondary 3, sings for everyone..."

"cut!"

Before the host's words were finished, the students in the audience responded with a burst of disdain.

Zhou Huimin, who was preparing in the backstage, asked nervously, "Awei, why is this the first one?"

Awei said funnyly: "The fifth one, fortunately I chose Sister Amei's). But Amin, you are miserable. You crashed with a lot of people when choosing songs."

The organizers of the performance cannot be blamed, because the students sign up for the performances themselves, and the performers decide what to do.

As a result, a total of more than 40 people signed up for the performance, and 26 people actually chose to sing. Except for those who were too talented to be on stage and those who were persuaded to sing other songs, there were still 11 people left, and they had to sing.

This song is so popular that the students who just started to sing, no matter how good or bad they sang, won the applause from the audience.

As for now, it's all booing, because everyone is getting impatient.

The one who sang just now, ran off the stage in embarrassment after singing, but heard the host say again: "...We have Zhou Huimin from Class 2, Class 1, please sing..."

"Did you make a mistake, come back!"

"Please, don't spoil this song again."

"Get off the stage!"

"..."

Zhou Huimin came to the stage amid this kind of booing sound. Before the singing started, the pressure was so great that the first line of the lyrics was out of tune, and the boos from the audience became louder.

Zhou Huimin will only be 14 years old in more than a month. Although she looks cute, she doesn't have many friends at school. Because her father died before she was born, and her family was poor since she was a child, so her expression was always cold and did not like to laugh, giving people a feeling of being rejected thousands of miles away.

Not only that, although Zhou Huimin's skin is as smooth as milk, she can only be said to be cute. The 13-year-old Zhou Huimin is slightly fat, with baby fat on her face and short hair, which is far from the word "beauty".

Growing up so big, Zhou Huimin is also Awei and Yaqin, two good friends who have played together since childhood.

The noise under the stage was getting louder and louder, and Zhou Huimin's mind was also chaotic.

After stepping down from the stage, Zhou Huimin didn't regain her senses, and she couldn't even figure out the direction. Her good friend Yaqin came over and hugged her and said, "Amin, you sing so well!"

Zhou Huimin said nonchalantly, "Is it helpful? I don't know what I'm singing."

Soon Awei finished the performance and said in surprise, "Amin, Yaqin, I just heard from the girls in the next class that Sister Amei will be on TV tomorrow night."

Yaqin couldn't wait to ask, "Which station?"

A Wei smiled and said, "Of course it's LTV~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Sister Amei did a show last time at LTV. Besides, I also heard that as long as the show is finished tomorrow, within an hour after the broadcast, it will be successful. The audience who get through the TV station phone will randomly select 10 lucky people, and no one can get a signed photo of Sister A Mei for free. The one with the best luck can also be a guest at Sister A Mei's concert. "

"Sister Amei is going to have a concert too?" Zhou Huimin asked excitedly, she was different from the usual cold-hearted her.

Awei explained: "It's not that kind of big concert, it's a small music club."

Yaqin said: "Then what are you waiting for, go home and call."

Awei said speechlessly: "It will only be effective to call tomorrow, what are you in a hurry?"

Zhou Huimin asked, "How much is Li's TV station?"

A Wei said: "Tomorrow, Sister Amei's phone number will be given on the show. As long as the show is over, you can call."
