Huayu since 1980

Chapter 388 The Chinese music scene and dignified cultural production manager (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)

Lei Xun went back excitedly, leaving Liu Huan, Cui Jian, Zhao Baogang, and Feng Kuo in Tangting Culture.

Cui Jian was excitedly playing with the musical instruments in the recording studio, and the depression on his face when he just came here had long since disappeared.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with this place?" Wu Jianye asked with a smile.

Cui Jian nodded and said: "Satisfied, very satisfied, Lao Wu, your musical instruments and recording equipment here are the best, are you planning to release another album?"

Wu Jianye shook his head, "I don't have time, I'm too busy. There may be less albums to be released in the future. This is for the singers of Tangting Culture. I plan to set up a record company under the banner of Tangting Culture."

After speaking, Wu Jianye glanced at Cui Jian, and said with a smile, "How about it, are you interested in becoming the first signed singer of Tangting Records, anyway, you were also fired by the symphony orchestra."

Last year was Cui Jian's first peak year. Classic songs such as "Rock and Roll on the New Long March", "Nothing", "No More Cover Up", and "Runaway" were all created in this year.

At the end of the year, Yenching University even established the "Yanjing University Cui Jian Fan Club", which is the second fan club organization in China.

The first support club organization was the "Wu Jianye Support Club" jointly established by students from many universities in Yanjing. It was established after the life-saving concert, but because Wu Jianye hadn't released a record for a long time, So now this support club is not as lively as it was before.

Except for some old people who play music know, the newcomers don't know anymore.

But this year, Cui Jian played a big role. When he performed in Yanjing Capital Gymnasium, he sang the classic song "Nanniwan" in a rock style, which caused his music to be banned, and Cui Jian himself was expelled from the symphony orchestra
Cui Jian said with some excitement: "If you had told me earlier, there would be no problem, but I have promised ADO before, and now I am running to you, I am afraid it is inappropriate?"

ADO is one of the oldest bands in Chinese rock music. The band has four members, the drummer Saner, the saxophone Liu Yuan, who is from China, the guitarist and vocalist Eddie is from Malagasy, and the bassist Barash is from Hungary.

San'er is known as one of the best drummers in China, but it is a pity that he died young.

Wu Jianye said nonchalantly, "It's simple, just invite us together!"

Cui Jian smiled happily: "That's no problem, San'er and the others have long wanted to see you!"

"Then it's settled. In the next two days, hurry up and call them here. I won't be able to stay in Yanjing for a few days, and I'm going to Phoenix soon." Wu Jianye said.

"No problem!" Cui Jianbi gave an OK gesture.

Then Wu Jianye invited Liu Huan again. Liu Huan himself wanted to find a professional recording studio, and now he wanted to sign with his own record company, so he agreed without thinking too much.

But Liu Huan still said: "But I may not have so much time to record songs or participate in performances, after all, there are still classes in school!"

Wu Jianye has no objection to this either. Liu Huan and Cui Jian have always been known for their personalities. They cannot be restrained by the inherent business model. Only by giving them more free space can they create Even better work.

In fact, people in this era are pretty much the same, so are Wang Shuo and others.

However, with the industrialization of the entertainment industry, this kind of model cannot be afforded by ordinary entertainment companies, because these people are like antiques, and they often don't open for three years, and the entertainment companies can't afford it for three years. .

So this form will gradually disappear in the future.

In fact, the hottest music style in China in the past two years is not Cui Jian's rock style, but the northwest style.

"Xintianyou", "My Hometown of Passionate Love", "Loess High Slope", etc., are representative songs of this genre.

In fact, it is not only the songs of the Northwest Wind that have become popular in the Chinese music scene in the past two years, but even the Northwest Wind has been blown in the Chinese film industry in the past two years. Chen Kaige's "Yellow Earth", Wu Tianming's "Old Well,” and even “Red Sorghum,” which Lao Mouzi is currently filming.

If nothing else, "Sister, Go Boldly Forward", "Divine Comedy", and "Song of the Sedan Chair", these three pure northwest wind songs, will still become episodes of "Red Sorghum".

In the process of the prosperity of the "Northwest Wind", many media in mainland China also contributed a lot. For the first time, these mass communication tools have realized their overall influence on the pop music market, the broadcast of TV dramas, various TV evening parties, and radio broadcasts. Music, the sound of "Northwest Wind" can be heard endlessly for a while.

Many critics published their views on 'Northwest Wind' in the literary supplements and entertainment magazines of many newspapers. Reporters withdrew from a large number of singers. The author interviewed and introduced the trend of 'Northwest Wind' to fans. There were several professional music periodicals. There are even columns of 'Northwest Wind Songs' and 'Northwest Folk Songs'.

It's a pity that this northwestern wind didn't blow for too long in the domestic music scene, and after a short lifespan of two or three years, it disappeared from everyone.

Then there is the rise of Cantonese songs.
"Mr. Wu, if you want to set up a record company, why don't you sign more singers? Cheng Yan is very popular now!" Feng Trousers suggested.

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "No need, let's get old Cui and Liu Huan done first!"

At present, there are no perfect laws and regulations on the contract issue of singers in China. This has also led to many singers immediately leaving the original record company after becoming famous and forming their own behaviors.

This was a very common behavior throughout the late 80s.

Wu Jianye didn't want to find some singers who he didn't know much about, or who were hard to control.

And the business of music tapes in this era is even more booming. Take the tape factory that has long been separated from Tunan Technology, and the sales in the past two years have come close to the benefits of Walkmans.

The sales volume of music tapes produced by an ordinary singer ranges from 50 to 100 million.

However, the domestic music industry, like the film industry, experienced its own glory and trough from the end of the 80s to the 90s.

In 1990, sales of this tape fell to [-] copies.
The gap is so big that people can't imagine.

At that time, domestic singers also started their careers, but they were basically fixed in Yanjing, Shanghai, Guangdong Province and other places, but even at this stage, most of the domestic singers were still cowardly. .

Behaviors of increasing prices before going on stage are emerging in an endless stream. Coupled with the closer connection between Xiangjiang and China, singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan have entered the country to seize the market, causing the domestic music market to become more and more sluggish.
But that's all for the future. What Wu Jianye has to do now is to establish the outline of Tangting Records first, and grow slowly like Tangting culture.

The subsequent negotiations with ADO also went very smoothly. When I saw Wu Jianye, he also looked like a little fan.

"Xiaowan, I'm looking for you this time because of two things."

Before heading to Phoenix City, Wu Jianye met with the last guest, Li Xiaowan.

Because Lin Shen had already played the little emperor in "The Last Emperor" before, and because of Li Shaohong, the relationship between the two parties has always been good.

Li Xiaowan laughed quickly and said, "Director Wu, if you need anything, just ask!"

Wu Jianye waved his hand, "You know, I'm going to start filming a new movie in the second half of the year. There is a child in the movie, which is very suitable for Lin Shen. I want Lin Shen to continue to play me. This role in the movie, but to shoot this role, we will have to go to JYG and other places to shoot with us, and the conditions may be a bit difficult!"

The two children of Minister of the Ministry of War, a little boy and a little girl, on the side of the little boy, Wu Jianye was very satisfied with Lin Shen's performance in "The Last Emperor", so he still wanted to bring him this time.

Li Xiaowan first asked with some concern: "Director Wu, what are you talking about?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Naturally it's the environment there."

After thinking for a while, Li Xiaowan said: "It's okay, this kid is sensible now, and last time he was arguing with me that he wanted to continue playing with Uncle Wu."

"Okay, that's the deal, now let's talk about the second thing!"

Wu Jianye glanced at it, and Li Xiaowan, who was a little puzzled, continued: "That's right, Tangting Culture is developing faster and faster, and the management staff can't keep up. I want you to come to Tangting Culture, Xiaowan. , as the manager of the production department, his first job was to be the producer of "New Dragon Inn."

With the development of the domestic entertainment industry, after 2000, there have been three major female agents among domestic agents, namely Wang Jinghua, the first agent known as Sister Hua.

Wang Jinghua started to contact the brokerage industry in 91. At the beginning, Gao Xiaosong, Dai Rao, Li Huizhen, etc. were brought out by her, and then Shuangbing, Hu Jun, Chen Daoming, etc. were all related to her.

It's just that Wang Jinghua was too noisy. When she ran away twice, she cheated Huayi and Chengtian two companies one after another, causing them to be seriously injured. When Wu Jianye was reborn, they hadn't recovered yet.

Of course, Wu Jianye wasn't afraid that she would quit as well. Huayi and Chengtian couldn't keep her, and it wasn't one of the reasons. The most important thing was that Wang Jinghua wasn't in Yanjing now, so it would be too troublesome to find her. We should wait until later talk later.

The other one is Chang Jihong, and the people under him are also famous, such as Jiang Wenli in the early stage, Sun Li, Liu Ye, Yu Yu and others in the middle stage, Wang Luodan, Huang Xuan in the later stage
But similar to Wang Jinghua's situation, Wu Jianye doesn't know where she is now.
The last one left is the Li Xiaowan in front of her. Chen Kun, Zhou Xie, Huang Jue, Da Mimi, Zhang Jingchu and others were all her soldiers.

The most important thing is that Li Xiaowan is not only very successful as an agent, but also as a producer.

"Daming Palace Ci", "April Day in the World", "Orange is Red", "Life and Death" and other excellent TV dramas are all produced by her.

With the development of the domestic entertainment industry, the later development of Tangting Culture will no longer be based on the development of Wu Jianye alone. It will definitely attract more directors, actors, and singers. When Wu Jianye leaves Yan When Jing goes out to film, he also needs a person with outstanding ability to help him sit in the rear.

Now it seems that Li Xiaowan is a good candidate.

Being the producer of "New Dragon Inn" was Wu Jianye's first test for Li Xiaowan.

"Join Tangting Culture?" Li Xiaowan didn't expect that Wu Jianye actually wanted to draw her into Tangting Culture. At this moment, she didn't know how to answer.

Now Li Xiaowan's working relationship is still in the creative department of Yan Film Studio.

For people in this era, leaving their iron rice bowl and working for a private company is a very bold act, and most people do not have the courage.

"It's okay, you can think about this matter, I can stay in Yanjing for another two days, you just need to give me an accurate reply before I leave!" Wu Jianye said.

Wu Jianye knew that this kind of important matter must be discussed with his family, so he gave Li Xiaowan a buffer time.

After dealing with Li Xiaowan's matter, Wu Jianye went to see Li Xiuming. After all, he was going to leave Yanjing again in a few days. When he came back in Yanjing, it would be almost time for Zhu Zhuo to give birth. There must be no time to go there. Look at Li Xiuming.

The day before Wu Jianye left, Li Xiaowan found Wu Jianye.

"Director Wu, I will be your soldier from now on, please take care of me!" Li Xiaowan finally decided to work in Tangting Culture.

Li Xiaowan's salary in Yanying Film Factory is less than 100 yuan per month, while Tangting Culture's salary is 500 yuan per month. At the same time, Wu Jianye also promised her that more benefits will be given to her in the future .

At the same time, although Li Xiaowan is in the creative department of Yan Film Studio, she mostly appears as an assistant director, scene recorder and other miscellaneous things. Now Tangting Culture has given her another way out. Li Xiaowan, who has ideas in her heart, naturally does not May pass up this opportunity.

"Haha, welcome!" Wu Jianye laughed and shook hands with her.

Then Xia Xiaohong was called and asked her to take Li Xiaowan to see the office that had been prepared for her.

"How long is it going to take this time?" Zhu Zhuo was standing next to Wu Jianye, watching him pack his luggage. Originally, she wanted to help, but seeing how difficult it was for her to bend over, how dare Wu Jianye Let Zhu Zhuo do it.

"It won't take long, the main thing is to go where to shoot, and then find a suitable place for shooting, and I will be back in about a week or two!" Wu Jianye said warmly.

Zhu Zhu nodded and said, "Then you stay safe over there!"

"Don't worry, Xiao Feifei and Feng Pants will go with me this time, everything will be fine!"

"Pay attention to safety on the road, and pay attention to safety on the road when driving." Zhu Zhuo still said a little worried.

After Wu Jianye heard Zhu Zhuan's entrustment, he felt that this was a problem.

"That's a problem, okay, I'll call Zhou Tao and ask him to transfer some security guards to come with us!" Wu Jianye said.

Roads are not so safe in this day and age.
