Chapter 715 Recruitment Failed!

In the Internet age, there seems to be no secrets in the world.

A little thing on your side today might be known to the other side of the ocean tomorrow.

But in Xiangjiang, there is no need to wait for the Internet age, there are no secrets now.

Yin Juncai recruited Chen Shufen for a few days. After Chen Shufen came to report, she was busy actively checking the artist information of Qilin TV. Before she started contacting the outside world, someone here came to her door.

This person is Zheng Donghan, the general manager of Polygram Hong Kong.

Logically speaking, Zheng Donghan is not qualified to come to Yin Jun at any time. Even Li Chaoru has to call in advance to ask Yin Jun, let alone a small high-level migrant worker like him.

It's just that Zheng Donghan has a free and generous personality, and he and Yin Jun are friends of the poor and the lowly. They have always been on good terms. After Yin Jun became a rich man, he didn't show much arrogance, so the friendly relationship between the two has not changed much. .

Of course, Zheng Donghan also became a lot more cautious in front of Yin Jun. "Ajun" had long since become Young Master Jun. He didn't dare to say that he was completely respectful in his tone, but he didn't dare to make some small jokes.

But when something happens, Zheng Donghan still has to speak.

"Master Jun, I heard that you are preparing to hold a tour across Asia recently? Can you bring a few of our people with you?" Zheng Donghan said straight to the point, "It doesn't take much, just give me 5 places."

"Brother Rong is going too?" Yin Jun asked subconsciously.

"How could he go?" Zheng Donghan said helplessly, "Rong Zai is notoriously lazy. He finally started making an album here, so where can he find the time to go out?"

After a pause, he pretended to be honest and smiled again, "Besides, Mr. Jun and I are not outsiders. This Rong Zai can take care of others. Who else in Xiangjiang can take care of him?"

Yin Jun burst into laughter upon hearing this.

I did ask a stupid question.

How could Leslie Cheung, a superstar who is famous all over Asia, join such a hodgepodge of touring performances?

He is the only one who supports other people's performances, but no one in Xiangjiang can support Leslie Cheung's concerts, not even Leslie Cheung's idol Ribbon.

Among the Chinese singers around the world, Leslie Cheung is only inferior to Teresa Teng, who is popular all over the world.

Then, Zheng Donghan is promoting newcomers, hoping to blend in with the group of stars from Qilin TV and become familiar with them.

Although the stars of Kylin TV may not necessarily be good at singing, they are very good at acting.

Zhou Runfa, Wu Weiguo, Yu Xue, Hui Yinghong, Zhong Chuhong, Wei Qiuhua, Liang Chaowei...etc. are all first-class stars and have great popularity throughout Asia.

With them together, PolyGram's new singers can also show off their talents, so that there won't be no applause.

After so many events, maybe their reputation in Asia will grow?

Zheng Donghan made a good plan, but Yin Jun disagreed, "Brother Han, this is our Qilin Culture's own event, so it is not convenient for people outside the company to participate."

"That's it!"

Zheng Donghan sighed, but did not hesitate. Instead, he asked, "Master Jun, your Kylin TV artists don't have a fixed record company to cooperate with yet, right? What do you think of our PolyGram?" How about that? If we can cooperate, then we can join forces and we will definitely create a bright future!"

Yin Jun was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Zheng Donghan's goal here was not to fill the tour with people, but to discuss cooperation between the two companies.

Today's actors and stars have a relatively clear dividing line. Singers are singers and movie stars are movie stars. Under normal circumstances, most people don't like to cross boundaries. After all, there are only a small number of people who have many specialties.

But unlike the stars of 40 years later, if you don't say that you are a star of film, television, and singing, you will be embarrassed to go out and meet people.

Three-dimensional stars are just ordinary, four-dimensional, five-dimensional, and even seven-dimensional stars in film, television, singing, variety, dance, acting, and directing!

Zheng Donghan came to Kylin TV to negotiate, because he wanted the stars with singing potential in Kylin TV to join PolyGram and let them operate and train them.

It is said that it is training, but in fact, because these celebrities have already gained a lot of fame in Kylin TV, when PolyGram is launched again, it will be able to get twice the result with half the effort, which is actually a very advantageous thing.

But it is also good for Kylin TV. Firstly, your TV station does not have a record company. Secondly, if this star becomes popular, his or her film contracts will still be in the hands of Kylin TV, which can provide feedback.

Today's three major TV stations, Wireless TVB, have long had their own cooperative record companies; in the past, Li's and now ATV, the company they cooperate with is PolyGram.

If PolyGram takes Kylin TV into their hands again, then they can really be regarded as dominating the whole of Hong Kong.

Yin Jun smiled and said, "Brother Han, you are really well-calculated. If Kylin TV gives the record contract to PolyGram, wouldn't it be giving away a big piece of fat?"

"Everyone has their own specialty." Zheng Donghan said, "What's more, we don't get it for free. Kylin TV can enjoy a lot of rights and interests, and PolyGram's singers will also support Kylin TV...last time When Zai came to Jiashi to perform "Falcon", didn't we, PolyGram, play a very important role? Such cooperation will also be possible in the future. Don't worry, I am not the kind of person who eats alone, nor am I turning my back on him. People’s people.”

By the way, Zheng Donghan also added in his heart, even if I have the heart, I don't have the courage. Who dares to play tricks in front of you, a super rich man with a net worth of 4 billion Hong Kong dollars?

"Don't worry about the record contract with PolyGram. I won't cooperate with PolyGram." Yin Juncai said something that frustrated Zheng Donghan, but the next sentence made Zheng Donghan almost jump, " But Brother Han, are you interested in coming over to help me?"

"Wha...what?!" Zheng Donghan thought he heard wrongly.

"I said, I want to set up a record company. Brother Han, can you come over and help me?" Yin Jun made it more clear.

"You want to start a record company?" Zheng Donghan heard clearly this time, but then shook his head, "Ah... Mr. Jun, please listen to my advice, you'd better not start a record company, you have no chance of winning. .”

"Why?" Yin Jun asked.

"Making records is not something you can do only if you have money. It requires cooperation from many aspects." Zheng Donghan said, "For example, PolyGram not only has decades of experience in making records, but also has It has various supporting facilities and they are all very complete. Everywhere it goes, it can use its experience to quickly sign suitable singers for competition.

This is not the most powerful thing. The most powerful thing is that it can mobilize global resources to help its new company survive. For example, here in Xiangjiang, it can allow singers from Taiwan, Japan, and the United States to come to Xiangjiang to promote their records, and it can also sell the records of your Xiangjiang singers to these places. Songwriters can also be versatile. For example, in Lijun’s previous records, weren’t there many songs in Japanese? The copyrights for those Japanese songs are all owned by PolyGram. Can you and others get it? "

Zheng Donghan said this out of his heart. If it had been anyone else, he wouldn't have said it. He would have just waited for those people to hit the wall and pay for it.

In the recording industry, except for the corresponding giants such as EMI and Warner, no company can compete with PolyGram, not even Yin Jun.

He originally thought that Yin Jun was a smart man. After hearing this, he should have some insights, or at least go back and think more.

Unexpectedly, Yin Jun smiled, "Brother Han, I understand what you said, but have you considered my advantages?"

Zheng Donghan wanted to laugh, but he could only say: "Please tell me."

"First of all, as far as Xiangjiang is concerned, I have a greater advantage than PolyGram." Yin Jun said: "I am from Xiangjiang. I own one of the largest TV stations in Xiangjiang and can promote singers and songs. I also have sufficient financial resources. , to create the best platform for singers to produce music, and to find them the best lyricists and composers to tailor songs for them."

"That's right." Zheng Donghan nodded and said, "Young Master Jun is the best songwriter in your own right. You can make many people famous by yourself."

"No, my songwriting is just amateur." Yin Jun said sternly, "If I tell you, I can find at least five writers who are all-round writers who are no less than me now, and drag them all into my records. Coming from within the company, do you think PolyGram has any potential to compete with me in Asia as a whole, especially in Southeast Asia?"

"5!?"

Zheng Donghan was startled, obviously not believing it, "How is it possible that there are five people similar to you, Mr. Jun?"

"Let me tell you something first!" Yin Jun said, "What do you think of the combination of Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui?"

"Okay! Very good!" Zheng Donghan said without hesitation, "The two of them are Xiangjiang's golden partners. No one dares to say that they are number one."

After a pause, Zheng Donghan also nodded, "To put the two of them together, they can really compare with you, Mr. Jun."

The reputation of the Brilliant Second Saint is not just blown away.

The two of them have collaborated on thousands of songs in their lives. Although most of them are theme songs of TV series, many of them are very popular. With the popularity of Xiangjiang TV series, they have spread all over the country.

Moreover, the songs of the Brilliant Two Saints can be picked up in various styles and can be sung by both male and female singers. This is even more extraordinary and reflects their very high musical literacy.

Even Zheng Donghan, who has a high self-esteem, can feel that the two of them combined can be compared with Yin Jun, which is already a very great compliment.

"I'm going to poach them from Wireless." Yin Jun said, "Well, it doesn't even have to be poaching, because as long as I give you money, neither of you will refuse to cooperate. In this way, they can be regarded as my resources." Alright?"

"That's right." Zheng Donghan laughed, "But don't forget, Mr. Jun, PolyGram can also use them."

"But the few talented songwriters I have left are definitely my exclusive possessions." Yin Jun said, "I can't reveal it to you now, but as long as you come over and help me set up a record company, they will soon Gather them under your banner. With such talented songwriters, why don’t you just shoot those good singers one by one?”

"Not necessarily." Zheng Donghan doesn't think so. There are many ways to recruit singers, at least this channel to all Asia, Yin Jun's record company cannot have it.

"Then next year, I will prepare a variety show on Kylin TV to specifically select young singers with potential in Hong Kong." Yin Jun said, "You have to believe that with my planning ability, this program will be able to continuously select young singers." The seedlings are here.”

Zheng Donghan nodded, but did not express his position.

"The last point." Seeing that this did not impress Zheng Donghan, Yin Jun said: "I am from the mainland and have a good relationship with them. Once the ban is lifted in the mainland and the singing career develops, our record company will be able to rush in. , using the advantages of Hong Kong pop music to seize the biggest spot and dominate Asia."

Hearing this, Zheng Donghan even smiled and shook his head, "Master Jun, please stop teasing me. How poor is the mainland now? It's not like I haven't watched TV. The tapes in Xiangjiang, even the cheaper ones, cost twenty or thirty yuan a box. We It is planned to be half cheaper, 15 yuan, but mainlanders can't afford it! Their salary seems to be only about 40 yuan, right?

Moreover, there is a big bad habit in the Mainland, that is, piracy of tapes. Lijun's tapes have now entered the mainland through southern Fujian and eastern Guangdong. According to my information, they have sold at least millions of boxes! But has PolyGram received a penny in royalties? No! And they were pirated by the official record company themselves! If you let the record company develop there, there is absolutely no way out! "

At this point in Zheng Donghan's words, Yin Jun already knew what he meant.

The most powerful record company general manager in the history of Hong Kong must be unwilling to give up his power of PolyGram and join his newly founded record company.

The two of them have different concepts of producing records, packaging singers, and developing the market, so there is no need to force cooperation.

Zheng Donghan actually knew that Yin Jun asked Huo Jianning to go to Europe to negotiate the tape recorder production line and tape patents, but he didn't mention it just now, so naturally he still felt it was unnecessary, because he was not optimistic about this matter at all.

Yin Jun felt very sorry.

Zheng Donghan's strength is not only demonstrated now, he will soon lead PolyGram Company to create a glorious 20 years of Hong Kong's record industry!

That's what makes Zheng Donghan admirable.

It is a pity for any aspiring boss that such a great talent cannot work in his own company.

At the same time, this also made Yin Jun feel wary.

The recent series of smooth sailings made Yin Jun feel that he could recruit anyone he wanted without being rejected at all.

But now Zheng Donghan has taught Yin Jun a lesson, telling him that it is not just about having money. Really talented people have many things to consider when they want to change jobs.

Sighing, Yin Jun said: "Brother Han, please go back and think about it again! I really hope you come over!"

"Sorry, Master Jun, I have to be responsible for so many people under my command." Zheng Donghan said embarrassedly, but his attitude was very firm, obviously to prevent Yin Jun from poaching his thoughts, "But I hope this matter will not affect our relationship. Cooperation between us. And if Mr. Jun wants to be a record company, I personally am very willing to give you some help so that the record company can avoid detours."

"What a pity!" Yin Jun nodded slightly, "Well, I'm not that stingy. Business cannot be done without mercy. Brother Han, don't worry."

Zheng Donghan breathed a sigh of relief.

He has been in contact with Yin Jun for such a long time, and of course he understands that Yin Jun is not a duplicitous person.

Since Yin Jun said that business cannot be done without benevolence and righteousness, he will not hold grudges in his heart, so he will deal with PolyGram or even Zheng Donghan in the future.

In Xiangjiang, anyone who faces the hostility of a super rich man like Yin Jun will definitely feel pressure!
