Start from 1980

Chapter 540 Rolling Stone Records
At first I thought it was some kind of media reporter, but after a closer look, I realized that each of these people was holding a registration form in their hands.

Because the media company is currently selecting newcomers, most of the people who come to participate are handsome men and beautiful women, or have a good voice.

These people were all stimulated by Su Chen's phrase 'If you are a man, you have no dreams'. Under the series of operations by Su Chen and Xueli, Shengshi can be said to be in the limelight for a while.

Most of the conversations are related to Shengshi Media, and there are only a few topics that come and go.

Joining Shengshi is very likely to step onto the international stage. At the same time, Shengshi has cooperation with many industries in Hong Kong. As long as it is a member card of the artist association, it can be discounted.

And there are associations of this kind, which are exciting anyway.

Some people even say that Shengshi is the promoter of Hong Kong movies.

However, when the news was heard by Sydney, she immediately stated publicly that Shengshi only did what it could on the basis of film companies such as Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

Because it cannot be ruled out that someone is extolling Shengshi.

Now whether it is TVB or Golden Harvest, it seems that they can't think of any solution for a while.

Although this is the case, TVB's foundation is not comparable to that of Golden Harvest, nor is it comparable to Shengshi. The copyright of Jin Yong in TVB's hands alone can make Boss Shao easily surpass Phoenix Satellite TV.

Su Chen glanced at it twice, then he was not interested in paying attention, and went upstairs directly.

Suddenly someone in the crowd exclaimed: "That seems to be Boss Su."

"Really? Which?"

"It's the one walking inside in a suit. It's really Boss Su. I can see it clearly. He was standing beside me just now. I didn't realize it for a long time!"

Many people looked on tiptoe, but Boss Su was nowhere to be seen.

When he came to the media company, Xue Yu was still looking around, studying hard, holding a notebook in his hand, carefully recording what he had learned.

Seeing her serious look, Tang Wanru said, "Why don't you arrange someone from Hong Kong? This way, you can relax a bit too?"

"Even if it's arranging people, I still need to know how to operate them. Otherwise, I won't be able to tell if others are fooling me. Wouldn't it be a waste of work?" Xue Yu said with a smile: "Besides, the markets in Beijing and Hong Kong are different. , What can be sent out and what can’t be sent out must be accurately grasped.”

"That's true." Su Chen took over the words: "So, it's more appropriate to arrange people from the capital over there in the capital, and it's not suitable for Hong Kong people to go to work, and now the capital is not as good as Hong Kong, and it's inconvenient in many ways, and other things some of the reasons."

"I was negligent." Tang Wanru said: "Xue Yu can only work harder and take care of everything."

Accompanying her around a few times, Su Chen went to Shirley's office.

He opened his mouth and asked, "How is Taiwan's Rolling Stone Records doing? Has Zhou Jianren sent any news back?"

"Not yet." Shirley made him a cup of coffee: "We are still in contact, and the other party probably needs to think about it."

In fact it is.

In 1976, brothers Duan Zhongyi and Duan Zhongtan founded the "Rolling Stone Audio Publishing House" in Taipei City, Taiwan Province, China. Unfortunately, the start of the magazine was unfavorable. After the magazine was established, it lost 700 million old Taiwan dollars.

Duan Zhongtan had no choice but to stop the magazine reluctantly, and ran to serve as a soldier.

Four years later, Lao Duan couldn't let go of his old love, and dragged his second brother to set up a small independent record company in Building 4, Lane 290, Guangfu South Road, Da'an District, Taipei. It is still named "Rolling Stone", which is now Rolling Stone.

When the company was founded, there were only 6 people, except for the Duan brothers, there were Pan Yueyun, Li Lifen, Wu Chuchu and Peng Guohua.

The Rolling Stones didn't have much money, so for the first work they released, they found three talented singers, Pan, Li, and Wu, and made a "Three-person Exhibition" assortment, which was distributed by BMG.

Pan Yueyun is still singing in Kaohsiung, and his partner is Su Rui; Li Lifen participated in the folk song competition at the age of 16, and once beat Cai Qin to win the championship; Wu Chuchu is also a ruthless character, and Hu Defu is the same as the pioneer of the "folk song movement". style.

What it wants to do is not to make stars, not to sell its face, but to produce beautiful voices and produce music that belongs to the Chinese.

The originality of the work and the quality of touching the soul have become the direction that Rolling Stone has anchored from the beginning.

Unfortunately, soon, Wu Chuchu and Peng Guohua chose to quit due to disagreement in business philosophy, and the two brothers went to form another record company.

This record company is also the old enemy of the Rolling Stones in the future, the famous "Flying Saucer".

In 1980, when the Duan brothers used a one-way ticket to call the 22-year-old Pan Yueyun to the Rolling Stones for an audition of "Just Like Your Tenderness", I am afraid that they did not expect how wonderful this company will leave for the Chinese music scene in the next 30 years How bright stars are unearthed, and how many souls will be enlightened and comforted.

At this time, Luo Dayou was still working as an intern in the hospital, so he was influenced and wrote some romantic works.

During the period, the "Locus" band was formed and went to the restaurant to sing.

Later, the band disbanded. At the invitation of the band members, Luo Dayou wrote the theme song "Sparkling Days" for Liu Wenzheng's movie. Because of this, he met Zhang Aijia, fell in love with Zhang Meiren, and formed the group "Fruit Music".

In order to release the album, Luo Dayou spent all his savings and got the work to be arranged in Japan.

"Fruit" issued 2000 vinyl sheets for him, and then went out of business.

Coincidentally at this time, Rolling Stone was in urgent need of works, and Luo Dayou served as a producer for the first time, and presented "Childhood" and "Story of Time" to Zhang Aijia after writing for three years.

In 1981, the Rolling Stones released their first solo album.

With the blessing of Zhang Meiren's fame, the response was really good.

Afterwards, Zhang Jiangluo's work was shown to Duan Zhongtan, and when Duan Zhongtan heard it, his mind went "buzzing".

It was not a collection of works that fit the aesthetics of the market, so that Lao Duan went to the teahouse to ask the boss to play it. Many customers complained: such an unpleasant noise, what kind of music is it?

But then Luo Dayou stared at the afro and sang "Zhe Ye", and dropped an atomic bomb on the Taiwanese music scene in an instant, blowing up the hearts of countless creators.

When organizing a concert for Luo Dayou, Duan Zhongtan was unable to pay the rent due to financial constraints, but he was able to use 10 tickets to pay for it, which shows his great influence.

But because of the radical lyrics, Luo Dayou soon came under tremendous social pressure.

I had to hold a farewell concert last year, that is, in 1984.

Then Luo Dayou was forcibly sent to the airport by his father and flew to the United States.

Originally, Zhang Aijia teamed up with Luo Dayou to write "Tomorrow Will Be Better" this year, but now this song has been plagiarized by Boss Su.

Although Luo Dayou is not here now, Rolling Stone still has a god-level producer, Li Shouquan.

At this time, the Rolling Stones had already introduced laser CD technology from Japan Benzene. They had to make 5 works, and the first one was naturally indispensable.

After much deliberation, the old Duan felt that it was not enough, so he found a partner with the talented singer Qi Yu who joined the Rolling Stones the year before, and invited his friend and female writer San Mao to write lyrics for the record.

In addition, Li Zongsheng, who is known as 'knows women best', also joined Rolling Stone this year.

While everyone was busy working on these 5 works, Zhou Jianren, who had been working in Taiwan in Shengshi, appeared.

"Dude, we're buying your record label."

In a word, the old paragraph was confused: "What do you mean? Aren't you guys engaged in movies?"

"Our Shengshi not only wants to make movies, but also develop a record company, so we want to acquire your record company." Zhou Jianren said, "I don't know if you have heard of Shengshi?"

The old Duan nodded: "I have heard a little bit, but our Rolling Stones now have a good development prospect, why should we sell it to you?"

"Let's make a price. There is no righteousness in buying and selling, and UFOs are in full swing now." Zhou Jianren said: "Although you have just introduced Japan's laser CD technology, Rolling Stone is still short of money."

"If you don't accept a full takeover, we can also inject capital, but we must have absolute control, and you can set a price. Moreover, it is not an exaggeration to say that UFO has signed Cai Qin, Su Rui and other superstar singers. I believe you also know that you are now and The gap of the flying saucer."

"Old Duan, if you want to develop, sometimes you can't do it with brute force and passion." Zhou Jianren earnestly said: "If Rolling Stone becomes a company under Shengshi, it will definitely be a great boost to your development."

The expression on Lao Duan's face froze: "Then why are you looking for our Rolling Stone? Instead of looking for a flying saucer?"
