Chapter 697 I Want a Superstar Who Doesn't Rely on His Face to Make a Living

Ever since Huo Jianning was introduced to the relevant person in charge of Lin'an City as the general manager of the tape recorder factory, the people in Lin'an found that they couldn't find the general manager.

the reason is simple.

It's not what Huo Jianning said earlier, he wanted to deliberately air them out, but Huo Jianning flew to Europe to negotiate with PolyGram.

There are only two major shareholders in PolyGram, which share 50% of the shares equally, and one of them is Philips.

Philips is a giant in the Netherlands and even in Europe.

In fact, it is equivalent to Samsung in South Korea and Mitsui in Japan. It involves all aspects of the industry and has made great achievements.

If you want to make a tape recorder, it is naturally impossible to be like the current domestic electronics factory. Just take someone else's and copy it. Criticized above.

You know, until 2010, the Western world hated Huaguo's patent infringement very much. Even in 2020, it was just a slight change in the impression. Just use" thinking.

There are thousands of patents and technologies for tape recorders, and most of the most critical patented technologies are owned by Philips, or they have the power to authorize others.

In addition to patents, Philips also has its own tape recorder production factory, and also sells production lines.

As for the key coating granular magnetic material technology of magnetic tape, it was developed by Philips, and they made the first music tape.

Moreover, Polygram is now a very famous record company in the world. Although it did not reach the top position in the world in the 1990s, it is definitely in the top three.

Therefore, Polygram also has its own tape production line.

Huo Jianning went to the UK and the Netherlands, and he was able to solve the production of the tape recorder and the subsequent tapes, which can be said to be once and for all.

Thanks to Yin Jun and Deng Lijun, before going to Europe, Huo Jianning entrusted Zheng Donghan to make a phone call, explaining that this is Yin Jun's company, and it buys a lot of patents and production lines at a high price. PolyGram naturally welcomes it .

On the one hand, they heard that the tape recorders and tapes were made in Huaguo, and they dreamed of actively opening up the 1.2 billion market in Huaguo; Songs, helping their singers become popular all over the world.

The songs and albums that Yin Jun made for Teresa Teng are already selling like crazy.

Just take a single EP as an example, it will bring PolyGram a net profit of 10 to 20 million US dollars, and it is still selling steadily.

What is even more exaggerated is that Yin Jun added a song to an album made by Teresa Teng in Japan, which has already crushed all Japanese singers, becoming a king who has never been seen before, and I am afraid that there will be no one in the future.

"The Goddess in the Toilet" has sold 17 million copies so far, which is equivalent to one out of every seven Japanese people buying this album.

"Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss" is the most exaggerated single, it has the effect of brainwashing, almost every young person owns one, the sales volume exceeded 1 million copies on the day of its release, and reached 12 million copies in a month.

Then PolyGram Japan also released the news that Teresa Teng may not sing Japanese songs again in the future, which triggered a new round of panic buying. The sales volume of "Pure Land of Paradise" has exceeded 20 million copies by the end of October!

You know, before this, the sales volume of the best single by a Japanese singer was only more than 1 million copies. Teresa Teng easily exceeded this upper limit by 10 times, which made all the singers of the same period feel desperate.

With such an album and one song, Polygram Japan’s net profit is expected to reach about 150 million US dollars. With such an achievement, why don’t you say that Polygram’s headquarters won’t flock to it, and they will be full of interest in Yin Jun immediately?

PolyGram's base camp is in Europe and America. If Yin Jun makes an English divine comedy like "Hand in Hand" and makes one or two singers popular for them, it will bring some cash cows to PolyGram. Still long term!

People at PolyGram's headquarters were thinking about Yin Jun's song, and people in Xiangjiang were also thinking about it.

Yin Jun has been in Xiangjiang for almost 3 years. He has written too many classic scripts, but not many songs.

If you want to say that Yin Jun has no talent in music, that's fine.

But Yin Jun's talent in music, in Huang Zhan's words, is "absolutely not inferior to his talent in writing scripts".

Take a look at those songs written by Yin Jun!

"Bao Qingtian", "New Dream of Mandarin Duck and Butterfly", "Shanghai Beach", "The Great Wall Will Never Fall", "Flowers in the Water", "I Just Like You"...

These songs are all classics that have been sung everywhere, and all of them are best-selling songs.

But for so many years, except Deng Lijun and Zhang Guorong who are qualified to invite Yin Jun to sing, other people, no matter what kind of big name you are, are useless.

Especially last year, after Yin Jun relied on "Kirin Weekly" to own billions of assets at once, the boss of any record company couldn't look enough in front of Yin Jun, so how could he have any qualifications to put pressure or something?

However, there are still people who can stop Yin Jun from inviting him to sing.

Zhang Guorong mentioned above is one of them.

After no major setbacks in his previous life, Leslie Cheung is now smooth sailing, fans dote on him, Polygram also supports him, even ATV coaxes him, it can be said that he is a collection of many loves in one body.

When young people suddenly stand at the top like this, it is naturally a bit like living in a dream.

Fortunately, Zhang Guorong himself has a kind personality, the most he can do is date a few more girlfriends, and then stubbornly do the music he likes to make, and don't do any other extraordinary things.

This year's song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" made him, who was originally less popular, become popular all over the country again. Zheng Donghan, who wanted to warn him, was so angry that he called Yin Jun repeatedly to protest.

Later, when Zhang Guorong heard about this, he went to Zheng Donghan very embarrassed, admitted that he was too willful, and decided to follow their request and make a new pop album this year.

Now Zheng Donghan was overjoyed, and spent two months selecting more than 20 high-quality songs for Zhang Guorong.

After Zhang Guorong screened it himself, he selected 8 songs, and then came directly to find Yin Jun, and asked him for two songs that could carry the tripod.

In Zhang Guorong's heart, he and Yin Jun are friends, and there is no boundary between rich people and ordinary people.

Even if Yin Jun's net worth has risen to 3 billion or 4 billion, he will still talk and laugh with Yin Jun, without any awe.

Zhang Guorong did not make Yin Jun feel disgusted by doing this, but felt that he was very innocent and free and easy.

Yin Jun remembered that in his previous life, He Hongshen, the gambling king, was arrogant and looked down on the entertainment industry, but the only one he liked was Zhang Guorong.

He often sighs, "It would be great if Zhang Guorong was my son-in-law"..."This handsome boy is the same as when I was young"..."If he marries Chaoqiong? Then I must agree!"...

There is also Huang Zhan, this old and unrefined uncle who often wants to ask for kisses when he sees Zhang Guorong.

That's right.

You read that right.

He often wants to kiss Zhang Guorong when he sees him, and it's a mouth-to-mouth kiss.

Huang Zhan doesn't like men, but he likes Leslie Cheung very much.

There is also Li Bihua, one of the four talented women in Xiangjiang, the female writer who wrote "Farewell My Concubine", "Green Snake", "Rouge Button"... and other classic novels, if you ask her to adapt her novels into In a movie, when it comes to who the leading actor tends to be, Li Bihua must have only one answer.

Zhang Guorong.

When Xu Feng bought the film copyright of "Farewell My Concubine", Li Bihua had no other conditions, but Cheng Dieyi had to be played by Zhang Guorong, otherwise you wouldn't buy it.

Only then did the magnificent Cheng Dieyi come into existence.

...

Everyone likes Zhang Guorong so much, which shows that Zhang Guorong is indeed very admirable in the world. This is rare in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang, and even Cheng Long and Zhou Runfa do not have such treatment.

Maybe they are all like Yin Jun, appreciate this young man who always has a heart for the world!

Now Zhang Guorong is sitting in Yin Jun's office, talking about his request, "Ah Jun, I'm asking you for a Mandarin song and a Cantonese song in my album. In addition, you quietly make me a song Rock songs, don't let Brother Han know."

Yin Jun listened in surprise and said: "Brother Rong, when did you fall in love with rock and roll?"

Previously, Zhang Guorong liked English songs, rap, and classical songs, all of which are inseparable from his study experience in the UK.

But songs like rock and roll don't seem to be Zhang Guorong's favorite all the time, right?

"For music, you have to try everything." Zhang Guorong said with a smile, "Don't want those heavy metal rocks, let's do a light rock song. I'll show it to Brother Han when I'm done. , if he doesn't issue it to me, I'll go find someone else."

"Meeting you, Brother Han should have a headache." Yin Jun nodded, "Okay, I'll give you the song in November. Is there enough time?"

"Well, just before the Spring Festival." Zhang Guorong said.

After a pause, he smiled again, "Ah Jun, I met Tan Yonglin who originally developed in Baodao some time ago. He likes the songs you made very much, but I heard that you rejected Brother Han, so I will write a few more for him. Song?"

Yin Jun nodded sincerely, "Yes, I don't have that much time to write songs. Brother Han asked me to give him at least three Mandarin songs, and it would be better to add another Cantonese song, but I refused."

"Don't you think this brother is an idiot? First ask you to write one, and then beg you to write one after you get it, isn't that enough? You really deserve it if you have to be so greedy!" Zhang Guorong gloated.

"In the future, I will have less time to write songs. Brother Rong, you have to make more plans on your own. There are many excellent songwriters in Xiangjiang and Baodao, and there is always something suitable for you." Yin Jun said with a smile.

After hesitating for a while, the boy still didn't introduce Zhang Guorong's best partner, Lin Xi, to him, not to mention that now Lin Xi is still studying at Xiangjiang University, and hasn't made his debut at all.

Lin Xi's ability to write lyrics is at least the top three in the world, especially for sad love songs, Lin Xi should be ranked first, better than Huang Weiwen who is also in the top three.

"Hey, tell me, how good is it to write scripts and songs happily? Are you tired if you have to do so many careers?" Zhang Guorong shook his head, obviously he didn't understand Yin Jun's approach .

"Some things are my responsibility, and I can't do them." Yin Jun sighed lightly, regardless of whether Zhang Guorong could understand or not.

"Oh, let's talk about Allen." Zhang Guorong said, "You also know that I like to make friends. Allen knows that I have a good relationship with you, so I begged on my head. Everyone belongs to Xiangjiang. Singer, it's not easy for him in Baodao, so... can you give him two or three excellent Mandarin songs?"

"Brother Rong, making songs is not wholesale. You have two or three songs, and he has two or three songs. How can I have so much inspiration?" Yin Jun immediately refused.

'No way, Ah Jun, it's rare for me to beg you once, and you just have the heart to refuse me? Zhang Guorong looked hurt, "You said, are we still good friends?" "

"This is not a question of good friends or bad friends..." Yin Jun said, "Brother Rong, I will give you at most one song, and there will be no more."

"make a deal!"

Zhang Guorong patted the table and said with a smile.

Yin Jun was speechless immediately, "Aren't you waiting for me here?"

"Hey, how come? I just settled for the next best thing." Zhang Guorong quickly changed the topic, "By the way, Ah Jun, give me some advice. Director Lin Lingdong came to me today and said he wanted me and Fa Ge is making a film with a very serious subject matter, about a prison story. How about I make this film?"

Yin Jun was speechless.

Don't even think about it, Lin Lingdong must be looking for Zhang Guorong to take the role of Liang Jiahui in his previous life, the second male lead.

But the images of the two are not the same.

Liang Jiahui's face was both upright and evil, it could sink or float up.

Zhang Guorong's face, just as Zhu Shimao said, would be considered an underground worker if he played a villain.

But!

A good actor should not be limited by his own conditions.

Isn't Mr. Sun Honglei, the number one handsome man in the universe, able to rise from an evil villain to a positive one?

After thinking for a while, Yin Jun said: "This role is not suitable for you, but it is very challenging. If you can really perform it, it will definitely be a great improvement for you. No one will dare to say that you rely on your face for food in the future." .”

Zhang Guorong's eyes lit up.

He is unparalleled handsome, which is a good thing, but he hates that others deny his efforts because of his appearance, so he makes some unpopular music.

Now listening to Yin Jun saying that this role is a test of acting skills, he was immediately moved, and wanted to prove to everyone that I, Zhang Guorong, don't rely on my face for a living!

But the next moment, he was puzzled, "Hey, how do you know so clearly?"

"Brother Dong didn't tell you?" Yin Jun spread his hands, "I wrote the script!"

"Grass!"

Zhang Guorong used this word to express his feelings.
