Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 388: While suppressing PolyGram, he did not forget to poach corners
"I remember, Zheng Donghan's son is going to release a record recently, right?"

After a long time, Chen Qiming suddenly raised his head.

"Yes, what's your name? Zheng Zhongji? Zheng Donghan approached the company before and wanted us to sign him, but you refused!"

Liu Ciwei thought for a moment and replied.

After a pause, he continued: "Zheng Donghan made great efforts for his son, not only inviting the top teams in the industry to produce records for them.

He also asked Jacky Cheung to personally guide him, and his album will probably be released around November! "

Hearing this, Chen Qiming smiled.

He already knew how to get revenge on PolyGram.

Since Zheng Donghan is unethical, he is doing little things for him behind his back.

Then don't blame him.

Since Zheng Donghan values ​​​​his son so much, he not only arranged for him to have a top team to produce an album, but also asked the king Jacky Cheung to go out to attract traffic for him.

Then he would have made all his efforts in vain.

He wanted Zheng Donghan to regret offending him.

"Go check and find out who will face Ronald Cheng in November!"

"What do you mean?" Liu Ciwei looked confused.

“With the strength of PolyGram, the quality of Ronald Cheng’s album is definitely top-notch.

Plus Jacky Cheung’s help.

The singers who released records at the same time as him will definitely not be his rivals.

In this case, I will give him a little more difficulty. "

Chen Qiming said with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Ciwei immediately laughed, "I understand! It seems that it would be a big mistake for PolyGram to offend you!"

Liu Ciwei is the person who has been with Chen Qiming for the longest time.

He has been Chen Qiming's agent since his debut.

No one knows Chen Qiming's talent better than him.

Now, in order to deal with PolyGram, Chen Qiming actually wants to personally help Cheng Zhongji's opponent write songs.

With Chen Qiming's talent, he could already imagine the scene of Cheng Zhongji being hanged.

……

Liu Ciwei acted very quickly. In just two days, he compiled a list of singers who would release records in November and gave it to Chen Qiming.

Chen Qiming looked at the list.

There were a dozen people in total, but only two of them were familiar to him.

One is Zhang Huimei.

This person is very famous in Chen Qiming's dream.

In the late 90s, she and Ren Xianqi were the most popular singers in the Chinese music scene, and the four kings had to take a break from the limelight.

However, Chen Qiming does not intend to cooperate with Zhang Huimei.

There is no other reason. Zhang Huimei is someone whom Chen Qiming's good friend Zhang Yusheng values.

Her debut album was tailor-made for her by Zhang Yusheng.

Moreover, this album itself is a successful album in the dream. Even if Chen Qiming intervenes, it will be the icing on the cake at most.

Chen Qiming set his sights on another singer.

He made his debut in the TVB Rookie Singing Competition in 1986. In 1993, he topped Hong Kong's major pop charts with a fresh and romantic song "I Like You" adapted from Japan.

The singer who sang "Actually Do You Have Me in Your Heart" with Sammi Cheng and won TVB's Top Ten Golden Songs "Gold Award for Most Popular Chorus Song" and Radio Television Hong Kong's "Most Popular Karaoke Song Award" - Andy Hui.

Since China Star Records was taken over by Lin Jianyue, China Star has almost no big-name singers and has completely become a second-rate record company.

Currently, Xu Zhian is Hua Xing’s first brother.

However, although he is the first brother, his popularity is far behind that of the first brothers from other record companies.

According to Chen Qiming's estimation, if he collides with Cheng Zhongji, there is a high probability that he will be blown off by the newcomer Cheng Zhongji.

Of course, that was the case if Chen Qiming didn't take action.

Now that Chen Qiming will take action, his situation will naturally be completely different.

On the same day, Chen Qiming contacted Huaxing Records and told them that he was willing to write two songs for Xu Zhian.

did not say.

Hua Xing was overjoyed immediately after learning the news.

That night, Wu Yu, the current helmsman of Huaxing, immediately came to the door with Xu Zhian.

"Sheng Chen, thank you very much. Thank you very much for your support of our Huaxing!"

Wu Yu has served as the general manager of Huaxing Records for several years.

He was already in this position when China Star was still under TVB.

After Huaxing Records was acquired by SCMP Group, he continued to be appointed to this position.

Regarding Wu Yu, to be honest, Chen Qiming didn't have a very good impression of him.

It has nothing to do with his abilities.Although after this guy took over Huaxing, Huaxing has been in decline and has no ability at all, but this has nothing to do with Chen Qiming.

The reason why Chen Qiming hates him is that he did something last year that made all record companies angry.

Because China Star Records' record sales have been declining, the company's expenses are not proportional to its income.

In order to increase sales, he took the lead in reducing the price of Huaxing Records' albums from more than 100 Hong Kong dollars to 88 Hong Kong dollars.

A direct price reduction of more than 20 yuan, the losses to other record companies can be imagined.

Of course, some people may say that you don’t have to lower the price.

It does.

But the sale of discs is actually no different from other products.

Except for the most popular singers, the selling prices of most singers' records actually stay at the same level.

Now someone has lowered the price. Do you want to lower it?
Affected by this guy’s lead in price cuts, record companies throughout the Chinese-speaking region were affected.

Even Chen Qiming, No. 1 in the Chinese music scene, had to lower the price of his records from the original 140 Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong to 120 Hong Kong dollars in order to avoid being questioned by fans about the high price of his records.

A disc has dropped by twenty!

Chen Qiming's record sales are in the millions. One record dropped by [-]. You can imagine how much money Chen Qiming lost.

Therefore, Chen Qiming was very unhappy with this guy.

Because he was unhappy, Chen Qiming sent him away without talking to him for a few words, and then took Xu Zhian to the study for a detailed chat.

"Mr. Xu, I heard that your contract with Huaxing will expire in December this year?"

When he came to the study, Chen Qiming asked directly without being verbose.

Hearing Chen Qiming's words, Xu Zhian's eyes flashed, "Yes, my contract with Sammi Cheng is about to expire!"

"What are your plans?"

Chen Qiming nodded and asked.

Xu Zhian's eyes became brighter and brighter, staring closely at Chen Qiming, "Mr. Zheng Donghan and Mr. Huang Baigao from PolyGram want us to join Zhengdong Records, a subsidiary of PolyGram! We are considering it!"

"Huang Baigao?"

Chen Qiming raised his head.

"Yes!" Xu Zhian nodded.

Chen Qiming pondered for a while, "Huang Baigao is indeed a top producer, but you should have seen the momentum of PolyGram in the past two years. PolyGram is no longer the PolyGram it used to be.

I don't think you'll do any good by joining. "

Huang Baigao has become quite famous in the past two years.

He was originally a gold medal producer at Warner Records.

Former Chen Baiqiang, Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok who joined in the middle were all signed under his banner.

However, last year, Huang Pagou, who was already a senior executive at the time, had conflicts with the company, so he hoped to lure some singers and music producers to leave Warner Records and switch to the newly established Zhengdong Records under the original PolyGram. Unfortunately, most of the singers were due to old records. The record contracts are all in the hands of the company and have not been transferred.

Chen Qiming originally thought that he had done nothing, but unexpectedly, he actually set his sights on Huaxing's only three melons and two dates.

"Come to Qidian Records! Our company is in short supply of talents like you and Ms. Zheng!"

Chen Qiming directly proposed the solicitation.

He's not a fool, he can't really help other singers for no reason.

In addition to his potential to help suppress Cheng Zhongji, the reason why Xu Zhian was selected was that his contract was about to expire.

You can poach corners.

“As long as you come here, you don’t have to worry about record production in the next few years, the company will take care of it for you.

I think I should have the strength to convince you. "

Chen Qiming looked at Xu Zhian and said seriously.

After listening to Chen Qiming's words, Xu Zhian's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Apparently, he was interested in Starting Point Records.

Also, who doesn’t know Chen Qiming’s creative reputation?

However, he did not agree immediately, but said: "We need to think about it, and we will definitely give you an answer in two days."

"OK! I'm waiting for your reply and I hope to cooperate with you!

As long as you agree, I will personally write two songs for you for your Huaxing album.

I might even be able to sing a song with you.

I think this can give you a satisfactory answer for your Huaxing career! "

Chen Qiming understood that Xu Zhian was already interested, so he immediately added another bargaining chip.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhian's eyes became even more passionate.

Chen Qiming personally helped with the lineup and sang.

No one will address this proposal.

With Chen Qiming's popularity, his joining will definitely have a huge impact on his record sales.

"I will definitely consider it seriously!" Xu Zhian took a deep breath.
