my gilded age

Chapter 90 Red Star Production Co.

"Today, I watched the snow fall on a cold night..."

In Bai Shiqiu, a small bar that has not yet opened, everyone has a small gathering first to help break up the small bar. However, the people who come are all musicians, can they not sing?

There was no sound, but there was a person with a pure accent who was singing loudly, that was Brother Leslie.

Who is he?

Anyway, he is definitely not his brother Leslie Cheung. Although his English name is the same, the difference is huge, especially in appearance.

When he appeared with Xu Shaojun, Bai Shiqiu finally remembered that this person's Chinese name should be Chen Jiantian, and his identity is the current boss of a record company, and the name of this company is definitely in the history of our Chinese music. There is such a sum on it.

Red Star Production Co., Ltd.

In the words of later generations, knowing about Red Star Production Co., is a very revealing thing about one's age.

However, some names are very interesting once they are mentioned.

Beyond, Wang Fei, Black Panther Band, Zheng Jun, Xu Shaoshao... Chen Jiantian is Bole among the above.

The company Red Star Production Co., Ltd. was once very popular, and the singers under it can be said to be half of the mainland music scene at that time, such as Sister Tian, ​​Zheng Jun, Xu Shaoshao, Xiao Ke... there are many, many.

Moreover, it is a company that really puts its heart into making music.

But now, the situation is very bad.

Bai Shiqiu knows something about this record company. This company was originally very good in mainland China. Chen Jiantian is a Hong Konger, and he was really famous in the music scene at that time, and he discovered countless talents. Although he later signed with a big company, it shows His vision and skill.

But there is something that makes this company very difficult, and it is Zheng Jun's matter.

Now Zheng Jun is no longer a signed singer of Red Star. The two parties broke up in 95, but in 98, Zheng Jun sued Red Star.

Naturally, it is because of the copyright issue of "Red Star", but to be honest, Red Star Production Company has a very good reputation in the mainland industry. It will pay the copyright fees that are due, and also pay salaries to its singers. You know , although the salary is not high, mainland record companies rarely do this now.

According to Xu Shaojun, if Lao Zheng files a lawsuit, he will definitely win. Lao Zheng will change his job and leave. However, this lawsuit has caused a lot of losses to Red Star. Originally, the record industry is very difficult now, and the mainland market is huge. However, piracy is rampant, and Red Star is almost a pure record company.

The current situation is that only the young man Xu is still here, and the eldest sister Tian can't hold on any longer. They had a concert at the Workers' Stadium before, so everyone parted ways.

Today's gathering is the end of the year, and life is not going well. Everyone thinks about it, and they are worried about what will happen next year, so they come over to drink.

Xu Shaoshao and Wang Feng collaborated on that advertisement before, and their relationship became more harmonious. As for Feifei, he is a keyboard player. He will be very famous in more than ten years and is rated as the best keyboard player in China. Now People who are not in the circle don't know him at all.

The atmosphere among such a group of people can be imagined, and after Bai Shiqiu drank and chatted with Young Brother, Brother Wang, Brother Feifei and others, he basically understood the situation.

So, after Chen Jiantian finished singing and felt satisfied, Bai Shiqiu raised his glass and passed.

"Mr. Chen, you sang well."

"I won the prize, haha..."

The feeling of joy in suffering is very strong.

Bai Shiqiu then said some more useless things. When it was almost done, everyone began to call each other brothers, and then he revealed his true purpose.

"Brother Leslie, this small bar of mine has just started. It doesn't even have a name. I just figured it out. Your name, Red Star, is really good. Can you lend it to me?"

"Ah? Borrowing a name?" Chen Jiantian laughed when he heard it, "Hahaha... What's the matter? Take it. Brother, you are quite a good person. I can see that this name is interesting."

Red Star Production Co., this name reminds me of the 60s when I hear it, and whether it is a label or a record, this company really has this flavor.

The record, "Red Star No. [-]", was a big red five-pointed star with a yellow base, and the atmosphere of that era came to my face.

The small bar that Bai Shiqiu is running now is dedicated to retro. Just imagine, how about combining it with this red star and adding this name? !

It must be very stylish.

Bai Shiqiu and Chen Jiantian continued to chat, and the more they chatted, the better they became. Especially at the end, Bai Shiqiu talked about money.

"Using the name of Brother Leslie's company, this money..."

"I asked you to use it. What's the point of talking about money?"

"This won't work! Really can't, I know brother Leslie, you don't have a lot of money now, how can I take advantage of this?"

"Hey, Sprinkle water."

In fact, Bai Shiqiu has a big appetite, and this money is not given in vain.

"Otherwise, Brother Leslie, I can't see you like this. I won't give you any money. Why don't we change the model? How about I buy a share?" "Buy a share?"

Bai Shiqiu is actually very interested in this record company. This company really has a special status in the history of mainland pop music.Now, he feels that it would be great if he could invest in it.

But unexpectedly, Chen Jiantian said next: "What kind of shares should I buy? If you have 50, I might as well sell the company to you!"

"Ah?" Bai Shiqiu laughed when he heard this.

It cannot be ignored that Chen Jiantian may be suspected of being drunk at this time, but the price of 50 is probably still reliable.

If Bai Shiqiu remembers correctly, Red Star's final ending was not very good. It announced the end of all its businesses, that is, it closed down, and then it was merged with Wheatfield, which was later Warner. To put it bluntly, Wheatfield just spent some money. Bought some copyrights.

"Oh, Brother Leslie drank too much!" The young man came over and raised his glass.

"Hahaha...yeah, what's 50? Even if Brother Leslie wants to sell it, Lao Bai doesn't have it." Wang Feng also intervened.

Obviously, Wang Feng felt that his little brother could not have that much money. He had spent 60 on this yard before. After all this trouble, how much more could he have?

Although I heard that my Bai Laodi drama is doing well, dramas don’t make much money. Haven’t they been saying that the market is not good in the past few years?

Wang Feng's idea is really very normal. It's not easy to make hundreds of thousands these days, especially for those of us who play music in mainland China. One after another is poor, and even though they are famous outside, they really don't deserve to earn a living. , If you want to make a living, you don’t have to rely on acupuncture to support you, just have good relationships with people in the TV industry, and do more soundtracks and theme songs.

Just say that the three heroes of Demonic Rock who were very popular back then are not doing much now.

Not to mention making a lot of money, you still have to buy musical instruments, right?Not cheap.

"Haha... Yes, yes. Okay, let's still drink." Brother Leslie seemed to be sober, and then he wanted to fight with everyone.

But at this time, Yuanyuan felt that something was wrong. Could it be this guy Lao Bai...

"What if I have 50?"

Bai Shiqiu's words made everyone seem to wake up.

really!

"What's the matter with you? Why are you spending money randomly? What's wrong with 50 yuan?" Yuanyuan quickly pulled her boyfriend aside and advised him not to be impulsive.

Yuanyuan knows a lot about things in the music industry, because she has filmed several music videos, and now they are all powerful companies. For example, the strongest one at the moment is EMI, which spends money like water.

As for Red Star Production Co., this company seems to be doing nothing, and the actions they do are very ordinary. Anyway, Yuanyuan has never filmed the MV of this company, so she must not be capable.

"My Yuanyuan, don't worry about it. Why do you always want to be a young lady?" Bai Shiqiu just teased.

"You..." Yuanyuan was ready to argue again, but she couldn't resist Bai Shiqiu, the bad guy, who flicked her little place.

The location was found so accurately that Yuanyuan felt powerless.

"Bastard old Bai!" I was really ashamed and angry.

Bai Shiqiu ignored his 'little sister' and returned to the men.

"How about it? 50, is it really for sale?"

Seeing Bai Shiqiu being so heroic, the others looked at him with suspicion.

Wang Feng even came over and whispered, "Lao Bai, this label... 50 is a bit expensive."

"Hehe, it's okay, it's really okay."

Wang Feng felt that 50 was a bit expensive, but Bai Shiqiu felt that if 50 could be used to maintain the Red Star Production Co. label, it would not be about making money. From the perspective of mainland pop music history, It's all very worthwhile.

"Brother Bai, do you really buy it?" Chen Jiantian was sober.

Lao Bai smiled and said: "Brother Leslie, I really buy it!"

So what else is there to say?
As a result, Bai Shiqiu's bar and his theater troupe now have names.

It's called, Red Star Production Co., Ltd.!
