Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Jianguo Hotel.

Yang Ye quickly flipped through the newspaper and found a report about the "90 Modern Music Concert".

These reports were placed in corners and corners. There were not many of them, but they were not good.

A news report said that the audience trampled on more than 2,000 chairs in the Capital Gymnasium and strongly condemned this act of vandalism of public property.

Yang Ye thought, if they paid out this money, wouldn't they even lose money on this concert?

The newspaper also published a comment by a veteran artist on the concert, which was quite harsh: "Rock and roll should not appear on the stage of the capital!"

Yang Ye put down the newspaper, thought for a moment, and said to Zhang Peiren: "Mainstream public opinion still sneers at rock music, and this road you are on is not easy to follow!

If you want to sign them, of course you can, but you have to screen and find a few reliable bands to sign. "

"what about others?"

"The others will be left alone, so that some people can eat the meat and some people will go hungry. Only in this way will the people who sign the contract have a sense of crisis and will not look for trouble all the time."

Zhang Peiren thought to himself, damn, you are such a bastard.

He has been in Beijing for so long that he has learned a few words of Beijing dialect. Now when he speaks to me, he always calls you "ya".

Zhang Peiren said: "But I think this trick may not work on them."

"why?"

Zhang Peiren said: "These people do rock music for freedom and ideals, not for money.

Otherwise, why not do a good job? Some of them had good jobs.

The fifth man in the Tang Dynasty was originally from the Navy, but he resigned.

The Black Panther's drummer Zhao Mingyi, who had been awarded a military rank and was earning 150 yuan a month, resigned.

"There's Still Breathing" lead singer Wei Hua, a pillar of CCTV, how many people dream of being that? He just quit."

Yang Ye curled his lips: "That's because they don't get enough money. It's natural for them to leave at 150 yuan a month. What if it's ? Or even ?"

"This..." Zhang Peiren was speechless for a moment.

Yang Ye said earnestly: "Don't think that if you provide them with a superior environment, high-quality musical instruments, and pay them wages, they will be grateful to you.

You have to understand, our record company makes more money than them, and we signed them because they are valuable.

If that's the case, then we are just using them to make money and we are just cooperating with each other. Where is the gratitude?

Moreover, these people are not only unruly, but their living environment is also different from you and me, and they have no sense of contract.

Even if you sign a contract with them, it will be useless. Not only will they not abide by it, they may even betray you.”

Zhang Peiren felt that he was helping these bastards, but in the eyes of these bastards, this Taiwanese guy was just a profiteer who came to cheat them of their copyrights.

Many years later, Dou Wei said that these Taiwanese people did not come to support mainland rock, but to occupy the mountain and become kings.

"It was simply a conspiracy."

Look! We signed a contract with you, paid you a salary, bought you musical instruments, released records, and made you famous, but in the end it turned out to be a conspiracy.

Speaking of the evil deeds of the Gun'er, Yang Ye knew a little about them.

In the past, rockers could not even make a living by relying on rock music, but suddenly they signed with a company and became rich, so they naturally spent money without hesitation.

Some bands have booked the presidential suite for a year, and some bands have taken their relatives and friends to Wangfujing to eat meals worth tens of thousands of yuan and wait for the producers to reimburse them.

Someone was secretly stealing master tapes from recording studios and selling them to pirates.

He Yong took two axes and went directly to Dadi Records to grab the master tape.

The Faces Band had a falling out with Taiwanese producer Fang Kexing and robbed him midway.

Zhang Peiren was a passionate man. The "Magic Rock Records" he founded once made Chinese rock music very popular, but it ended in failure a few years later.

The losses were too great and the Rolling Stones could no longer bear it, so they recalled Zhang Peiren back to Taiwan.

Zhang Peiren himself didn't understand why he lost so much when he was so popular.

After returning to Taiwan, he bought a book called "Twelve Lessons to Understanding Financial Statements" and began to learn finance.

……

These domestic rock artists have produced some works, and are worth recruiting.

But Yang Ye was not interested in doing business at a loss, so he would not let these people do whatever they wanted.

Yang Ye said: "If we want to make rock music go from underground to above ground, we must first establish a positive image of rock singers and let the society know that they are not destroyers and they will not create chaos.

Lao Cui is now touring China under the guise of raising funds for the Asian Games, but if you look at the news, there are strong winds howling along the way, and the audience either smashes chairs or burns the programs.

For the authorities, this is creating chaos. Just wait and see. In less than three months, Lao Cui’s performances will be stopped. He may even be unable to perform for a long time.”

Zhang Peiren was somewhat speechless. He knew that there were restrictions in the mainland, but he did not expect them to be so severe. Yang Ye obviously understood China better than he did.

At Yang Ye's suggestion, Zhang Peiren decided to sign the Tang Dynasty band first and release an album for them.

At the same time, they are packaged to create an inspiring image and help them come to the fore.

Yang Ye expressed his approval. Among the many bands in Beijing, choosing Tang Dynasty was undoubtedly the right choice.

The songs of the Tang Dynasty are more majestic and the lyrics have more Chinese charm.

The opening of "Dream of the Tang Dynasty" is: Chrysanthemums, ancient swords and wine, soaked in coffee into the noisy pavilion. Foreigners worship the ancient moon at the Sun Altar, and the Kaiyuan prosperity is fascinating...

As for other bands, they can select some good works and release a compilation album.

……

In addition to his rock career, Zhang Peiren also looked for talents from the mainland to participate in "The Voice of China". In the past few months, he has been hanging around major bars in Beijing and visited some universities to select a list.

As for those rockers, most of them have hoarse voices, and participating in this kind of competition is just a waste of time.

Of course there are also good ones. For example, Liang Bo from "The Voice of China Season 1" sang rock music throughout and won the championship in the end.

There is an enhanced version of Liang Bo in Beijing today, and that is Dou Wei.

Among the "Three Masters of Magic Rock", he is the only one who sings well, while the other two, He Yong and Zhang Chu, rely on their singing skills in the defense.

Dou Wei has a metallic voice, is born to sing rock music, and is also damn handsome.

If he were to participate in "The Voice of China", he would definitely become extremely popular.

However, Zhang Peiren said: "Dou Wei refused to participate in "The Voice of China" because he didn't want to stand on the stage and be criticized."

Yang Ye thought to himself, hey, he really has a unique personality, he is worthy of being the King of Force.

Yang Ye said: "Forget it, there is a band called... Bronze Instrument Band, have you heard of it?"

Zhang Peiren asked curiously, "How do you know this band?"

Yang Ye lied casually: "Last time I went to see a friend, there was a band performing in the bar, the lead singer sang well, I asked casually, I think his name was this."

Zhang Peiren said, "So that's how it is. This bronze instrument band isn't very famous and usually only warms up the stage when Tang Dynasty and Black Panther perform."

"Help us bring them out to see us!"

……

Ai Dajin and Lao Lang took 400 yuan and took a train from Beijing to Guangzhou. Then they traveled all the way to Sanya and finally found a bar that invited them to perform.

By this time, they had run out of money, and if they couldn't stay in the bar, they would go hungry.

Ai Dajin patted Lao Lang on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I'm counting on you!"

The interview went very smoothly. Lao Lang impressed the boss with his song "Wolf" by Qi Qin, and was successfully hired as a resident singer in the bar. The salary was ten yuan a night, which was a decent one.

However, after only one week of singing, tragedy struck.

Because Lao Lang sang so beautifully, a foreman in the nightclub fell in love with him and secretly gave them some snacks in the nightclub.

The two of them ate too much and were fired by their boss.

The two unlucky guys took their 70 yuan salary and left the karaoke bar, staring at each other.

Old Wolf sighed and said, "What can I do with this little money?"

Ai Da Jin didn't take it seriously and said with a chuckle, "I told you there is always greener pastures. Look, we two brothers have come to the end of the world, so your green pastures are here, aren't they?"

The old wolf said, "Stop being so rude. We don't even have enough money for the trip back home!"

"Isn't this easy? You can use your beauty to lure the foreman, and he'll be yours. Why worry about the travel expenses?"

"Why don't you use the beauty trap?"

"She likes you, but not me. Besides, aren't you two in love with each other?"

"Who is in love with her?"

"Then why did you help her take the blame and say that we were the ones who cheated on her?"

"Then what else can we do? If someone is kind enough to give us food, and we throw him out? Are we still manly?"

"Hey, you didn't see it. When we left, the girl looked at you with red eyes. She must have cried a lot, maybe even more than you did the night you broke up."

Aidajin suddenly mentioned Laolang's sad story. Laolang got angry and raised his eyebrows: "Are you done yet?"

Pan Qian is Lao Lang's first love and is very important to him. What Ai Dajin said was like rubbing salt into Lao Lang's wound. It would be strange if Lao Lang was not angry.

Aidajin knew that he had said something wrong, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "Okay, it's my fault. I won't say any more."

He took out seventy yuan and slapped it on Lao Lang's hand, saying, "Go back!"

"Where to go back to?"

"Go back to the capital. School is about to start. Don't you have to go to school?"

"how about you?"

"I don't have to go to school. I have decided to drop out."

"Are you crazy? You went to Tsinghua University!"

"What's wrong with Tsinghua? I don't want to go there anymore."

"Then I can't leave you here alone, can I?"

"Who said I want to stay here?"

"Then where are you going?"

Ai Da looked at the sea in the distance and said casually: "Brother, I plan to go wandering!"

Old Wolf thought about it, divided the money into two parts, and said, "We'll each have half."

"Forget it. This little money is barely enough for your trip back home, and you'll still be hungry. Give me half, and you'll have to beg for food on your way back."

"Then I can't abandon you!"

"I left you and went away!"

Ai Dajin waved his hand and walked away in style.

Old Wolf looked at the guy's back, his eyes reddened! (End of this chapter)
