Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Mai Miao Records was founded in 1996, and its strength is not strong among mainland record companies, let alone compared with overseas companies such as Roller, Warner, Sony, Universal, and EMI.

However, Xiang Nan still thinks that Maimiao Records is more suitable for him than overseas records such as Roller, Warner, Sony and others.

For one thing, Mai Miao Records is small, with a registered capital of only 500,000 RMB. At present, there are only a few singers under the banner, such as Pu Shu, Ye Zhen, and Gao Xiaosong.

The big shop bullies the customers, and the big customers bully the shop. As a popular singer, Xiang Nan joined such a small company, so naturally he didn't have to worry about being bullied. Otherwise, if you join a big company like Roller, Warner, and Sony, there are a lot of bosses on it, and accidents are likely to happen.

Secondly, Maimiao Records is an independent record company, with more flexibility and freedom in business strategy, and more care for singers. However, companies like Sony, Roller, and Warner have relatively strict management.

Xiang Nan still hopes that he will be less restricted and enjoy more freedom in creation. Otherwise, if you join a record company like Drum or Warner, the route will probably be fixed, and the company will not allow you to change the music style.

For example, Fan Xiaoxuan, according to the record company's plan, let her follow the route of a cute girl. But Fan Xiaoxuan is actually not that kind of personality, and she doesn't like singing those nursery rhymes, so she finally broke up with the record company.

Three, Maimiao Records will be the fastest growing record company in the mainland music scene in the future.

In 2000, it will join forces with Warner Records to form Warner Maimiao, which will greatly increase its strength. In 2004, it merged with Taihe Media to form Taihe Maimiao. In 2015, it merged with Haidie Records to form Taihe Records.

At its peak, it owned a large number of artists such as Li Yuchun, Sha Baoliang, Pu Shu, Xu Song, Zhang Shaohan, etc., and it was still quite prosperous.

Xiang Nan took a fancy to its development potential, and joining it was like getting on a fast boat. It is much stronger than joining the drum, which is about to leak water.

...

Xiang Nan chose to join Mai Miao Records, causing an uproar in the outside world.

Not only record companies like Warner, Drum, and Sony don't understand, but even Song Bing, the general manager of Maimiao Records, finds it inconceivable.

A pie fell from the sky, and it fell into his mouth all at once. Happiness really came too suddenly.

"Mr. Yuan Hua, can you explain to me why you chose our small company?" Song Bing asked Xiang Nandao curiously before officially signing the contract.

"It's very simple, because I see your company's potential for development." Xiang Nan smiled, "Mr. Song, I know your background. You graduated from Tsinghua University and got a master's degree at Texas A\u0026M University.

You started working in 1992 and became a manager of a jewelry company; you started to get involved in the record industry in 1996, and your first record made a net profit of 500,000 RMB.

It can be seen from your resume that Mr. Song is a knowledgeable, insightful and capable person. I believe that Maimiao Records will have a very bright future under your leadership, so I chose you. "

After Song Bing heard Xiang Nan's words, he couldn't help feeling a little excited.

He didn't expect that such a student who was still in high school would be his bosom friend.

"Okay, since you have so much confidence in me, then I will definitely not disappoint you." Song Bing said with a smile.

"Well, Mr. Song, happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

...

After joining Maimiao Records, Xiang Nan immediately began to prepare for his first album.

"You Once", "Meteor", "Life in Bloom", "Flying Higher", "Your Answer", "I Have You in My Life", "Dancing Lightly", "Blue Lotus", "Those Flowers" ", "Birch Forest"...all are classic songs that have been sung for a while.

General manager Song Bing and art consultant Gao Xiaosong couldn't help being a little dumbfounded after seeing these songs.

Xiang Nan is only eighteen years old, and he is still a student. How much talent, experience, and accumulation can he have... But looking at it now, good guy, what a great wholesale of good songs!

Any one of these songs is enough to be the title of the album.

"I'll go! If this album doesn't become a hit, it's simply a matter of God." Gao Xiaosong said with emotion.

"I'm going to name this album "To Youth"." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "To my dying youth!"

In the mid-1990s, campus folk songs were all the rage. Songs such as "You at the same table", "The brother who sleeps on my upper bunk", and "Youth without regrets" were smash hits.

Xiang Nan named his first album "To Youth", which is not only to catch the popularity of campus folk songs, but also to commemorate his youth. After all, he was eighteen years old during the Chinese New Year, and he was already an adult.

Song Bing and Gao Xiaosong were very satisfied with the name, so the matter was settled.

...

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, after watching the lanterns, Qiuya returned to Xihong City by car.

"Yuan Hua, when are you going back to Xihong City?" Before leaving, she asked Xiang Nandao.

"Probably in June or July, when you take the exams and college entrance examinations." Xiang Nan laughed.

High school courses were nothing to him. Instead of staying in school to review, it is better to stay in Yanjing. One is to facilitate career development, and the other is to take art exams.

"It's been so long..." Qiuya felt a little bit reluctant, "Then you will miss me, right?"

"Qiuya, you are a smart person. You should know that the bondage of interests is stronger than the bondage of emotions." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "After we go back, we should study hard and get the exam in Yanjing, so we can continue."

Qiuya was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Xiang Nan is right. The combination of the two of them is not because of love, but because of interests.

If Xiang Nan hadn't become a star, she probably wouldn't be with him. If she wasn't the school belle, Xiang Nan probably wouldn't want her either.

Therefore, if she still wants to follow Xiang Nan, she must really be admitted to Yanjing University, so that she can be with Xiang Nan in the future. Otherwise, she really has no chance.

After all, four years in college is really too long.

...

After sending Qiu Ya away, Xiang Nan took the art test while recording his own album.

Because of inheriting Fang Yifan's acting skills, Yuan Hua's outstanding looks, and the instant fame of the Spring Festival Gala, Xiang Nan's art test went very smoothly.

The first test, second test, and third test of Beijing Film and Chinese Opera were successfully passed. The teacher in charge of the assessment was very satisfied with Xiang Nan's voice, stage, shape, and appearance.

During the exam, Xiang Nan also saw many familiar faces. Such as Deng Zhen, Miao Pu, Zhu Yuchen, Pan Yuchen and so on.

Like him, they are all students applying for the exam. The only difference is that Xiang Nan is already a star, while most of them are ordinary people.

Therefore, when they saw Xiang Nan, they were a little excited. In comparison, Xiang Nan is much calmer.

As for Xiang Nan taking the art test, it was soon reported by the media.

"Student Yuan Hua, you have become a popular singer now, why don't you take the time to make money, and instead take the art test and return to campus?" the reporter asked curiously.

In the 1990s, it was common for artists to go out of their way. But all singers, whether they are famous or not, like to go out and perform. For example, Huang Bo used to go to acupuncture points in the past, and he has been to all over the world, and he has suffered a lot, suffered a lot, and suffered a lot.

"I don't think it's necessary to rush to make money for a while." Xiang Nan smiled, "Although I have a little fame and a little talent, my foundation is still a little weak, so I want to go to school to recharge my batteries. Accumulate a lot and make a fortune, so that I can go further in the future long."

The reporter nodded with a smile.
