Chapter 717 Geniuses, Come to the Bowl!

If Zheng Donghan comes to Yin Jun, then it goes without saying that 3 months will be more than enough time from purchasing the record company, recruiting people, recruiting people to officially opening the business.

But now that it was Huang Bogao, Yin Jun made himself more calm and prepared to give him more than half a year.

To be Zheng Donghan's good friend and rival, Huang Bogao must have very powerful abilities, but now that he is only 25 years old, he must not be put under too much pressure and crushed by trying to encourage him.

The next morning, Huang Bogao resigned happily and came to join the company. Yin Jun directly asked Tian Jiachun to take him through the procedures. The position was "Vice President of Kirin Culture and General Manager of Kirin Records".

Looking at this job title, Huang Bogao was so excited that his whole body trembled.

With this position alone, he is on the same level as Liang Shuyi, the executive director of Kylin TV, because she is also the vice president of Kylin Culture.

Especially after hearing Tian Jiachun say that except for financial monitoring and personnel supervision, he does everything else at the head office, and the financial support provided is unlimited, Huang Bogao really wanted to yell. To vent the joy in my heart.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

He is a 25-year-old, ordinary record producer who was previously unremarkable, but under Yin Jun's appreciation, he has risen to the top in one step. Why doesn't this make him ambitious to do something?

Of course, not everything is handled by Huang Bogao. Yin Jun told Huang Bogao yesterday that he would sign several talented songwriters to come in. Huang Bogao had no objection to this.

The most important thing for a record company is three categories of people.

The first is singers. Without them, record companies cannot make money.

Huang Bogao can dig out famous singers, or he can find singers by himself, or he can wait to participate in the variety show that Yin Jun said to select singers. As the deputy director, he will select among the contestants.

Huang Bogao naturally tends to discover more by himself, otherwise he would not be able to control those singers who have been famous for a long time.

But as the general manager of a record company and a new employee, Huang Bogao still knows that he cannot be so selfish. He cannot not poach famous singers just because they are difficult to control and rely on some young people to dominate the world. How could this be?

Therefore, when discussing the details with Yin Jun yesterday, he deliberately asked Yin Jun to help recruit a few famous singers to come to Kirin Records.

Even if Huang Bogao is the general manager of Kirin Records, backed by such an important pillar as the Kirin Group, he cannot impress famous singers just by relying on his fame. People may not necessarily believe how long you can do it. What if you Now that the new general manager has arrived, these old officials must still be purged?

It would be appropriate for Yin Jun to take action personally.

The singers hired by the boss will feel more at ease and be more positive.

Besides, with Yin Jun's status, there should be very few people in Xiangjiang who don't sell his face, right?

Apart from anything else, isn’t Hong Kong’s number one idol singer Leslie Cheung the boss’ best friend?

If he could be poached, the name of Qilin Records would really come into play!

After considering the singers, the second thing is the songwriters and producers.

Especially songwriters, who are simply the soul of a record company.

One song can make a singer famous.

Yin Jun has already proved Zhang Guorong with "New Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Dream", proved Teresa Teng with "Hand in Hand", proved Tan Yonglin with "Flowers in the Water", and proved Chen Baiqiang with "I Just Like You".

If the company can have a few more songwriters, the success rate of launching singers will be greatly increased, which will also make the company more profitable and more famous.

What's more, when Yin Jun mentioned that these songwriters were no less talented than him, Huang Bogao became even more excited.

Songwriters are much easier to deal with than singers. As long as you pay them enough and show some respect, they will be easy to manage.

The third type of people should be publicity and marketing personnel.

If you have good singers and good songs, but you don’t have a group of capable publicity and marketing personnel, how do you design the singer’s image, how do you talk to TV stations about promotion, how do you talk to radio stations about songs, and how do you communicate with record stores about shelf issues? ?

Therefore, people in this area are also essential.

Huang Bogao is quite good at this aspect, second only to his understanding of talents in recording and production.

At least he can dig out a few truly talented people in several major record companies, weakening his enemies while also strengthening his own strength. Anyway, the boss said that there is no need to worry about money, and everything is based on the principle of poaching good players.

Huang Bogao likes this kind of boss the most.

As long as these three talents are brought together, Kirin Records can officially open for business!

Huang Bogao, who was very excited, didn't know that Yin Jun would give him the greatest support, but Yin Jun would not dig up the person he hoped to recruit most.

Zhang Guorong himself is a person who values ​​friendship. Zheng Donghan treats him very well. He is like an older brother and worries about many things for him. Although Zhang Guorong does not thank him much on weekdays, he did mention it when he and Yin Jun were eating and chatting. , in fact, he saw it all in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

In this case, Yin Jun insisted on forcing Zhang Guorong to come over, just to put him in an unjust situation, so that the young man would become a villain like this.

By the way, Zhang Guorong is naturally a good friend, but in terms of work, he is not the kind of go-getter that Yin Jun needs most.

Why?

Zhang Guorong comes from a wealthy family. He is too willful and emotional and will not do what you want.

For example, in his previous life, due to various pressures, he unexpectedly announced his retirement from the music scene at the height of his popularity.

By the time he came back, the commercial value had plummeted. In addition, he and Mr. Tang felt that they were in various troubles and aggrieved, and finally chose such a decisive way to leave this world.

Such a singer and actor, even a superstar, Yin Jun would not dare to entrust him with the heaviest task, for fear that he would give up the burden if he was unhappy and embarrass everyone.

His "rival" Principal Tan is different. Even in his sixties, he is still giving concerts tirelessly, being active in various variety shows, and starting his own company. He is having a great time.

Moreover, Tan Yonglin is very serious and responsible in doing things, and dares to try more things.

In terms of achievements in the music industry, Tan Yonglin cannot be said to have surpassed Leslie Cheung, but his level of professionalism is beyond the reach of Leslie Cheung.

Another advantage of Tan Yonglin's singing is that he is not very picky. As long as it is a song with a good melody and taste, he is willing to sing it, especially songs that promote friendship, love, and fighting spirit. He sings the most and is more popular. It is more popular and more popular among the general public.

If Tam Yonglin and Leslie Cheung hadn't gotten into a heated argument over fans' disputes, causing both sides to suffer losses, Leslie Cheung quit the music scene and went into the entertainment business for more than ten years to concentrate on developing in the music scene, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy for Jacky Cheung to rise to the top.

Tan Yonglin is currently developing in Baodao, but Baodao is not his base. He should still belong to Xiangjiang.

In the history of his previous life, Tan Yonglin would return from Treasure Island two years later, thus beginning his feat of dominating the Hong Kong music scene.

However, it was PolyGram that operated Tan Yonglin's trip to Baodao, and it was PolyGram Baodao Branch that he signed a contract with in Baodao. When he returned to Xiangjiang, it was PolyGram again, and the company he signed with was also PolyGram Xiangjiang Branch. .

With the operation of PolyGram, in fact, although Tam Yonglin has developed in Baodao, he has never disappeared from the mainstream music scene in Hong Kong.

What Yin Jun has to do now is to give Tan Yonglin a lucrative contract and lure him away from PolyGram.

Tan Yonglin likes money very much, otherwise he would not have opened his own entertainment company to make money. Moreover, Yin Jun will give him other guarantees for career development, and I believe he will not refuse.

As for singers, in addition to Tan Yonglin, in fact, at the beginning of next year, in a few months, another superstar will be born in the Hong Kong music scene, but Yin Jun will not poach her at all.

Mei Yanfang is actually not a bad person, but her deep-rooted prejudice against the mainland prevents Yin Jun from using her.

We have different views, let’s not conspire against each other!

In the next few years, there will be a large number of newcomers in the music industry. As long as Kirin Records operates Tan Yonglin well and cultivates outstanding talents through Yin Jun's music variety shows, it will take at most three to five years to become the climate and treasure. Li Jin competes with each other.

In addition to singers, what Yin Jun hopes to get more are the talented songwriters he mentioned to Zheng Donghan and Huang Bogao.

Yin Jun said to Zheng Donghan that there were three who were no less than him, but he actually said less.

The first one, well, it should be said to be a pair, Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui, the two brilliant saints, the benchmark of Chinese music, in terms of TV series theme songs, no one in the world can match them.

This pair is easy to deal with, they pay for things, they do it fairly and fairly, and they don't have to bear the reputation of poaching people.

The second one is the common idol of several generations, Luo Dayou.

"Childhood", "The Story of Time", "Love Song 1990", "Tomorrow Will Be Better", "Pearl of the Orient"...

None of the above-mentioned songs is not a classic, and none of them has not been sung by generations.

Ordinary people can already leave their name in the history of pop music as long as they create one of them, but Luo Dayou has created so many, and he definitely deserves the title of a master.

Luo Dayou's own voice is not very good, and many of the songs he wrote were ruined. But in terms of songwriting, he is not an enlightener in Baodao, but he is definitely a godfather.

He wants nursery rhymes and nursery rhymes, inspirational and inspirational, love and love, shouting and shouting. Yin Jun can't think of any style of song creation that he is not good at.

Luo Dayou is still working in the hospital this year, and will gradually start making music until next year. Yin Jun recruited him without any effort.

The best thing is that as a songwriter, you don’t have to come to Hong Kong to work. You can work wherever you want, or travel everywhere. You just need to send your lyrics and music works to the company frequently.

Luo Dayou has generous remuneration and freedom of action, so how could he not agree?

By the way, Yin Jun can sign Luo Dayou as a singer. Even if it doesn't make much money, the gimmick is enough.

Now that Luo Dayou is here, his good friend Li Zongsheng is naturally indispensable.

Li Zongsheng has just joined PolyGram this year, but as a member of a choir. Yin Jun has forgotten the name of this choir, but as long as he goes to the Baodao music scene and searches for Li Zongsheng's name, he will naturally be found.

If Luo Dayou is good at various styles, then Li Zongsheng is the number one person in Chinese pop music love songs.

No one can write more sad and touching love songs than Li Zongsheng. Even if there are a few occasionally, Lin Xi and Huang Weiwen are only good at writing lyrics and not very good at composing music. Therefore, in terms of overall strength, Li Zongsheng is still ranked first. one.

Especially in the era when good songs are almost extinct in the future, when popular songs such as "The Most Dazzling National Style" and "Love Business" fill the screen, Li Zongsheng's good songs will become even more precious.

"Time to Wake Up", "When Love Is a Past", "Flying Across the Sea to See You", "The Price of Love", "Enlightenment", "Blowed by the Cold Wind for You and Me", "Scars"...

These songs are so easy to make people cry inexplicably while singing them.

In fact, when Li Zongsheng was composing these songs and giving them to the singers, many female singers burst into tears on the spot while singing these songs based on their own emotions.

Even in 2020, these sad classic love songs are still must-selected songs in KTV and singing competitions. From this, we can know that these classic love songs spanned 20 to 30 years, and we know how talented and stunning Li Zongsheng is.

Li Zongsheng is another music master that young people don't know much about.

This master who doesn't appear often is called Li Zhiheng. His style of composing lyrics and music is very gentle and delicate, and he hides deep emotions inadvertently.

This music master's songs have also made countless celebrities famous, such as Zhou Huajian, Little Tigers, Wang Jie, Cai Xinjuan, etc., all of whom sang his classic songs.

"The Stars Know My Heart", "Rain or Shine", "Holding Hands", "Butterflies Fly", "Watch the Rain in Moss North", "Don't Let Me Get Drunk Alone"...

Unlike Li Zongsheng's heart-wrenching sadness, Li Zhiheng's songs are sad with a touch of freshness and tenderness, and they can also be sung for decades.

Just now in 1980, the first song "Autumn Cicada" written by Li Zhiheng directly won the composition award of the Golden Tripod Award. This song is a classic in Baodao. No one in the mainland knows it, but in 2014- In many singing variety shows around 2015, many singers challenged this song, making it suddenly become a favorite among niche fans.

Since Li Zhiheng has also made his debut, there will be no problem if he and Li Zongsheng follow Luo Dayou's method of poaching and signing contracts.

Anyway, they sell songs to everyone, and the conditions given by Yin Jun must be the best. Of course, they will be willing to sell to Yin Jun.

In the Chinese music scene, record companies' treatment of songwriters is very ordinary.

Songwriters from Europe, America, Japan and Korea can directly participate in the dividends from record sales.

You don’t care whether the record company will manipulate or not, but this attitude is very clear and will greatly stimulate the creative enthusiasm of songwriters.

But the treatment of Chinese songwriters is much worse. For example, in this era, the good ones will give you a few thousand yuan for a song, while the ordinary ones will give you a thousand yuan or eight hundred yuan. Don’t think it’s cheap, many people can’t get it. This price!

After such a cheap price, the copyright of this song has nothing to do with you as the songwriter, it belongs to the company.

Do you think that by doing this, songwriters can have the passion to create?

Therefore, as long as Yin Jun includes songwriters in the record share, he can guarantee that no one in the Chinese music world can compete with him to snatch these outstanding songwriters!

Only when Yin Jun's list is satisfied, or Yin Jun doesn't want it anymore, will these songwriters consider selling their works to others.

This is respect for the power of knowledge! !
