The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

In fact, although the record industry is fiercely competitive, it has not reached the point where the water and the fire cannot be separated from each other. Competition is competition, and sometimes there are many opportunities for cooperation.

For example, sometimes you need to find cooperation with other record companies to make an album. After all, no matter how good you are, and the leader of the record industry, you can still monopolize all the amazing creators under your banner?

This is obviously unrealistic, so the bigger the record company, the more it needs to cooperate with other people. Whether it is to buy new songs, or to find well-known songwriters and composers for tailor-made, sometimes they will find some foreign aid.

For example, when helping A Zhe to produce his first album, although Feishi has a lot of masters, but if he wants to produce an absolute boutique, he needs to brainstorm.

At the same time, although some lyricists and composers are cooperating with other record companies, there are very few treaties that stipulate that they are not allowed to write songs for others. At the same time, it is also beneficial for them to cooperate with Feishi to produce an album.

Let's not talk about a song, a song written by Feishi, or the high remuneration for participating in the production of the album. Simply speaking, if this album becomes popular, their reputation in the industry will also increase, won't they?

At the same time, if the record company where these lyricists and composers belong to releases songs for their own people, when they advertise, they will say, so-and-so is the gold-medal lyricist who wrote a certain song for Ah Zhe. It got up all at once, so this kind of cooperation can be said to be mutually beneficial.

"How do they want to cooperate?" After listening to Fu Decai's explanation, Yang Dongxu suddenly realized. It turns out that business competition is not a matter of life and death, white swords enter and red swords exit. Sometimes even competitors need to cooperate, everything is dictated by interests.

"Songs, as long as you can be a producer, the song costs 100,000 yuan a song, and if you are a producer, you can get a share of the sales."

The conditions offered by Feishi are not low. Although 100,000 yuan a song is not as good as those gold-medal creators, it is still a high price. Although Xiaoxu is famous, he is still far from a gold-medal songwriter. After all, he is only popular because of his sudden fame, and it will take time for him to become a gold medal lyricist, composer, or gold medal producer.

"What do you think of this matter?" Yang Dongxu didn't answer immediately, but asked back.

"Participate in the production, it will be more beneficial to us. Although "My Motherland" is a hit, it is only an album. Except for Zhang Wen and Wu Qi, the singers in it are Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, or art troupes.

So this album became a big hit, but it didn't train us to be the leading actresses. Since you are optimistic about Azhe, and Feishi is also optimistic about it, then participate in the production. After all, Haina Records is just a rookie, so they can use this opportunity to push their reputation to the top. " Fude said.

Are Zhang Wen and Wu Qi on fire? Of course it's on fire! Even "My Motherland" sold well in Singapore, Canada, and Tang Renji in the United States, and they have gained a certain reputation abroad.

But this overseas popularity is just for bluffing. In fact, it is not very useful. The real influence can only be compared with the second-rate singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan at most, and there is still a distance from the first-rate.

In fact, Fu Decai can also see it clearly. Don’t say that the song is popular, people will definitely be popular, or that a good song will definitely be popular. The truth here is not that simple. The record business has it all.

So he was a little bit opposed to Yang Dongxu's spending a lot of money to recruit new recruits before, but he is particularly active during this time. But compared to those big record companies, Heiner still lacks background, and cannot be more attractive than those big-name record companies.

So he is willing to cooperate this time, and even hopes that Yang Dongxu can show his full strength. In this way, as long as Ah Zhe's first album becomes popular, he can say when he is looking for new talent that Ah Zhe's first album was produced by our company's producer Xiao Xu himself.

This is more attractive than asking high prices. After all, many people who want to become singers want to be famous. Are they afraid that they will not make money if they are famous? Of course, this doesn't mean that the people who have been poached with a lot of money are not good, but that there is a gap in the other party's confidence in the company, isn't it?

"Then reply them. We are willing to cooperate, but I don't have time to go to Taiwan. If they want to cooperate, let them bring someone to Yanjing to record the album." Yang Dongxu nodded and agreed, but he also offered own conditions.

Working with Feishi really only has advantages and no disadvantages for them. Although he may have to release a few classic songs, compared to the money he can earn after the album is sold.

Like Fu Decai, what he wants more is to enhance the reputation and heritage of Haina Records. But the benefits belong to the benefits, and you can't just do what the other party says. He has countless classic songs in his hands. Sooner or later, Haina will become a big brother in the industry. There is no need to bow down and curry favor with you.

Feedback from Fu Decai soon came to Flying Stone Records. Hearing that the other party's request for cooperation turned out to be to go to Yanjing to record, the senior management of Rolling Stone Company suddenly refused.

"It's too crazy. A small company that has just become famous dares to show us face." Bai Jiasheng sneered, with disdain in his sneer.

Duan Zhongyi and Duan Zhongtan, who were sitting in the main seats, also frowned. Since 1980, these two brothers founded Feishi Records. It can be said that Feishi has made great progress all the way. In less than ten years, it has become the largest record company in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

That's right, it's the biggest, none of them, even when Warner Music entered the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets, they were suppressed by them, and the limelight was the same for a while.

Feishi Records in 1987 can also be said to be a strong force. Luo Dayou has not yet gone to Hong Kong, Li Zongsheng is already a top producer, and Xiao Chong and Chen Sheng have also won. Singer Pan Yueyun, Zhou Huajian, Qi Yu, and Zhang Aijia are too many great gods, too many singers who dominate the music scene in the future have already signed, and there are newcomers like Ah Zhe who have great potential, they are simply domineering.

So now that Feishi Records sneezes, not to mention that the entire Asian music scene will catch a cold, but a cold snap in Hong Kong and Taiwan is definitely okay.

Therefore, when Rolling Stone asked you to cooperate, it respected you and gave you a chance to become famous, but you dare to ask for it. Will you be a human being?

"What do you think?" Duan Zhongyi looked at Li Zongsheng next to him.

"I heard that Xiao Xu is only 14 years old this year. I watched the album "My Motherland". The 10 songs are all classics. More than half of the songs are written by him, so I really like him. interested."

Compared with Bai Jiasheng, the company's general manager in charge of business, Li Zongsheng, as a producer, is undoubtedly very interested in this Xiaoxu. He thinks it's okay for talented people to be arrogant, and sometimes he has a bad temper.

So compared to what Bai Jiasheng thinks is crazy, he feels that Xiaoxu's request is very normal, just like him, if the company wants to praise the newcomer, doesn't he also have to take a personal test? If it doesn’t work, it’s just a relationship account, what’s the relationship with you, why do the high-level executives praise you, get the hell out of me, and make an album? OK! Love so and so, don't ask me to make it for you.

"Let's get in touch and see. Warner has been pressing a bit tight recently, and Sony seems to want to intervene." Duan Zhongtan, who had been silent all this time, said.

Although Fei Shi is now the largest record company in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and has countless generals and talents, it does not mean that he is invincible in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Besides, although some of these generals are famous, most of them are newcomers.

In other words, those singers and queens have not yet grown up, and Feishi still feels a lot of pressure in the face of behemoths like Warner and Sony.

And the Duan brothers also have their own ambitions. Although they have already dominated Hong Kong and Taiwan, they want more than that. What they want is to dominate Asia, and even go to the world.

That's why they want to take advantage of the opportunity of recording a new album for Ah Zhe with great potential, invite talented people to prepare an absolute classic, and send a weighty warning to Warner and Sony, who are eyeing tigers, and let them know who Hong Kong and Taiwan are. is the boss.

"Then let's take a look first." Although Bai Jiasheng disagreed in his heart, the boss had already spoken, so naturally he couldn't directly refuse as a part-time worker.

But for that Xiao Xu, he is really not very optimistic. He is only 14 years old, and it is probably just a gimmick launched by Heiner Records.

As a master's student in the Department of Economics of Harvard University, he looked down upon Xiao Xu who definitely has his own arrogant capital. Feishi has developed rapidly in the past two years, not to mention his hard work, at least from the bonuses given by the brothers of the Duan family, it can be seen that his ability is indeed good.

"Don't hang yourself on a tree. Think carefully and search for everything you can. This time, it must be a hit. Everyone knows the situation. I want to know better than you, so I won't say much." Duan Zhongyi finally set the tone.

The reason why he cultivated a newcomer with such great fanfare was not that Feishi had a long-term vision and saw the glorious future of Ah Zhe's future dominance in the music world.

But Azhe, a rookie, is really good. At the same time, the external pressure from Warner and Sony made Rolling Stone want to support a newcomer to prove his strength.

It's just icing on the cake to praise someone who is already famous, how can there be the shock of making a newcomer an instant hit?

Facing Warner and Sony who are pressing harder and harder, Flying Stone must let people in the industry see what kind of muscle Flying Stone is, and let those record companies who want to follow suit weigh in. At the same time, it can also let those talented newcomers see Feishi's ability to praise people, so it can kill three birds with one stone.

After talking with Fu Decai, Yang Dongxu got busy and put the matter behind him, never expecting that the core staff of Feishi Records would gather for a meeting because of this matter.

Even if you know it, you won't care too much, is Feishi a cow? Of course, later generations have killed several of the largest record companies in the world, and become the largest record company in Asia.

Although it has not gone to the whole world, its influence has been greatly reduced outside of Asia, but in Asia, it is the king and hegemony, and no one dares to stroke its beard.

But no matter how awesome you are, can you have him as a reborn cow? Ah Zhe, Zhou Huajian, Li Zongsheng and a bunch of great masters can't dig it out, can they? OK, you go ahead.

When I run Haina Records, I will dig out Zhao Chuan, Wu Bai, Zhang Huimei, Zhang Yusheng, you have a bunch of great masters, I can also find a bunch of great masters, and then 'plagiarize' cough cough cough to cheer your future generations to the king of songs and queens Take the classic songs from the past and use them, it is unknown who will die.
