    Beyond's first concert, which was self-funded and took out a bank loan, ended in tragedy.  The entire concert cost more than 16,000 yuan including labor. The ticket price was close to 10,000 yuan, and the compensation was more than 6,000 yuan.

    There were more than a dozen people from more than a dozen record companies in the audience who were invited by Beyond, and most of them had already left before the concert ended.  The rest had a better attitude. First, they encouraged them, saying that their songs were very nice, and then asked them if they had any pop music works.  .

    After receiving a negative answer from beyond, these music producers shook their heads and left one by one.

    Why did the rock band that became so popular in Asia receive a cold reception from music producers?

    Is it that beyond¡¯s songs are not good to listen to?

    of course not.

    Are those music producers who don¡¯t know how to appreciate music?

    This is even more impossible.

    There is only one reason, and that is that rock music has never had a market in Hong Kong.  The best-selling records in Hong Kong now are all modern pop music. Even Cantonese opera records probably sell better than rock music records.

    Twenty years ago, the Beatles were popular among young people in Hong Kong, but only a small number of young people, and young people who played rock and roll were accused by newspapers of being degenerate and immoral.

    Ten years ago, Wang Zijun¡¯s rock songs also sold well in Hong Kong, but they were sold with other pop music, and the rock flavor was already very weak.

    The market risk is too great, which is the real reason why music production talents are unwilling to sign beyond.

    Watching the music producers leave one by one, Huang Jiaju and others could not hide the disappointed expressions on their faces.  However, more than 20 spectators came to ask for their autographs.  It seems that this concert was not completely in vain, it gained at least more than 20 fans.

    After enthusiastically signing autographs to these fans, several members of the band sat silently on the stage.  The Caritas Center, which was bustling just now, suddenly became empty and quiet as the audience and music producers left.

    Wang Zijun, He Chaoqiong, Guan Zhilin, and Liu Jialing sat in the back row. Some of them wore sunglasses or covered their faces with hat brims.  In addition, there were no lights on at this time, so no one noticed beyond.

    "It's over!" Drummer Ye Shirong was the first to break the silence, beating the drumsticks repeatedly.

    Huang Jiaqiang said: "Don't be discouraged. One day we will be able to hold a concert in the Coliseum."

    "Still thinking about holding a concert? Think about how to repay the bank loan first." Huang Guanzhong, who had just joined the band not long ago, said with a wry smile, "I have been harmed by you."

    Huang Jiaju wiped his face with his palms and said: "I will exchange the loan."

    "I'm just complaining." Huang Guanzhong rolled his eyes at him, "Since we are our band, we should shoulder it together."

    After a few people complained, they started to pack up and prepare to leave. They rented the Caritas Center. If they don¡¯t leave today, the rent will be increased tomorrow.

    He Chaoqiong had no idea about the situation in the Hong Kong record market. She just thought the songs of these young people were very good, so she was going to sign Beyond to her yet-to-be-established company.

    Just when He Chaoqiong was about to go over to talk to Huang Jiaju and others, Wang Zijun pointed to a guy in front of him who was slowly walking on the stage and said with a smile: "It seems that someone is one step ahead of us."

    "Who is that person?" He Chaoqiong asked.

    ¡°An interesting nobody.¡± Wang Zijun commented.

    ¡° What stepped onto the stage was Chen Jiantian, Beyond¡¯s first manager in another time and space.  He is also the discoverer of Faye Wong, Xiao Ke, Black Panther Band, Zheng Jun, Xu Wei and others. Wang Zijun has long admired this person's name.

    Chen Jiantian is about to set up a music company this year, but now he only has the idea of ????building a company. He doesn¡¯t even have a signed artist, let alone recording equipment and sales channels.  Some of them are just connections from working as a publicity manager at a Hong Kong record and cable company in the past few years.

    Huang Jiaju and others obviously do not know Chen Jiantian.  Hearing someone approaching, Huang Jiaju raised his head and glanced at him, thinking that Chen Jiantian was an employee of the Caritas Center urging them to leave. He packed up his things and said, "It will be done in 20 minutes."

    "Your songs are pretty good." Chen Jiantian smiled.

    "Thank you for the compliment." Huang Guanzhong installed the guitar and said, "It's a pity that there are too few people in Hong Kong who like to listen to it."

    Chen Jiantian said: "You only sang three Cantonese songs during the entire concert, and English songs were present at other times. Most of the audiences for rock songs in the world are young people, and not many young people like to listen to English songs in Hong Kong. Those  English-speaking ghosts don¡¯t appreciate rock music Do you know what I mean?¡±

    Wong Jiaqiang said angrily: "I know, you are saying that there is no market for rock music in Hong Kong. I have heard this sentence a hundred times."

      "Wrong!" Chen Jiantian said, "I mean, English rock songs have no market in Hong Kong, but the same cannot be said for Cantonese rock songs. Maybe you can write more in Cantonese."

    The four members of the band stopped what they were doing and looked at Chen Jiantian. Huang Jiaju stood up and asked: "Who are you?"

    "General manager of Jinshi Records." Chen Jiantian smiled and said about the company that he had not yet mentioned.

    ¡°Record company?¡± The four members of Beyond exclaimed in unison.

    Fortunately, the four of them are also singers. Although they are underground singers, they are still very familiar with Hong Kong record companies. They soon realized that this Jinshi Record Company was so small that they had never heard of it.

    Chen Jiantian explained: "If you can write ten good Cantonese rock songs, I will consider signing you and promise to release you a record within one year of signing the contract."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????? For Wong Ka-ju and others, it is already very good if a record company signs them. They really can¡¯t be picky. Let a small company be a small company. It is better than raising their own funds to hold concerts like this.

    Just when Huang Jiaju and others agreed, a female voice suddenly came from the audience: "You don't need to write ten songs, I can sign you now."

    Beyond and Chen Jiantian were startled. Wang Zijun and others stayed in the back row of the dark auditorium, and they suddenly made noises as if they were ghosts.

    He Chaoqiong walked in the front, Wang Zijun, Guan Zhilin, and Liu Jialing were a little behind her boss.

    Chen Jiantian doesn¡¯t know He Chaoqiong.  Asked: "Who are you? I know most of the musicians in Hong Kong."

    "Who do you care who I am? I'm not signing a contract with you." He Chaoqiong was too lazy to say more to him.

    Chen Jiantian sneered at the sudden competitor: "I'm afraid someone is a liar."

    Suddenly someone from behind suddenly interrupted: "You call others liars, what about you, Mr. Chen? You seem to be still working as a department manager in a music company now, how come you have become the general manager of Jinshi Records?"

    As Wang Zijun gradually approached, Chen Jiantian used the light to see him clearly, and asked in surprise: "Are you Wang Zijun?"

    Wong Ka Kui and others also recognized Wang Zijun. They wrote and called various music companies and TV stations in Hong Kong, but in the end only a dozen people came to watch the concert.  And most of them are small roles.  Unexpectedly, this concert actually attracted Wang Zijun.

    Wang Zijun is known as the father of Chinese rock and roll, and he is a famous name in the rock circles of Hong Kong and Taiwan.  Although Huang Jiaju and others are now advocating authentic British rock music.  Some people do not agree with Wang Zijun's rock philosophy, but this does not hinder their respect for Wang Zijun.

    Even though Wang Zijun hasn¡¯t released a record for several years, he is still in the Chinese rock circle.  He is also a well-deserved senior.

    Ye Shirong was so excited that he couldn't speak. When Wang Zijun approached, he jumped down from the stage, reached out and said, "Mr. Wang, I didn't expect you to come. It's like a dream."

    ¡°Compared to Beyond, who will be famous on stage in the future, at this time, they are still very rustic. Even when they hold a concert, they only wear T-shirts that have been selling goods for several years.

    Wang Zijun and Ye Shirong shook hands and turned their heads directly to Chen Jiantian.  Said: "Mr. Chen, this is Miss He Chaoqiong, the daughter of the gambling king. She recently wanted to open a record company, and she asked me to take a share in it. I wonder if Mr. Chen is interested in joining?"

    This was Wang Zijun¡¯s impromptu idea after meeting Chen Jiantian.  It had previously been impossible to find professionals to manage the company.  Isn¡¯t Chen Jiantian in front of me the best candidate for general manager?

    Although this person has been questioned by many people about his character due to his subsequent financial dispute with Beyond.  But starting a company is not about finding a woman, and Wang Zijun can't control other people's personal ethics.

    Wang Zijun's words made Chen Jiantian feel itchy. He was tired of being a publicity manager at a Hong Kong record and cable company. He had accumulated some contacts and was thinking of starting his own company. However, he was unable to implement it temporarily because of financial problems and the lack of suitable singers.  .

    Currently, Wang Zijun and the gambling king¡¯s daughter are investing.  Naturally, there will be ample funds, and since Wang Zijun likes Beyond, the singer's problem has also been solved.

    Wang Zijun smiled and said: "Miss He doesn't understand the affairs of the record company, and I don't have much energy to run it. If you are interested, Mr. Chen, why not come and help us manage the company. You don't need to pay a penny, I will give you 10  % of the shares.¡±

    Is it still necessary to consider it?

    ?Obviously not.

    Chen Jiantian smiled and said: "I am so happy to be able to cooperate with Mr. Wang."

    "Then it's settled!" Wang Zijun said, "Let Miss He come up with the name of the company. If there is no suitable name, let's call it Jinshi Records."

    "I have no objection."Chao Qiong said that she opened the record company purely to help her friend Chen Baiqiang.

    Chen Boqiang¡¯s contract with Warner Music has not yet arrived. Even if other record companies want to sign him, they will still have to pay a large sum of money to buy him.  With Chen Boqiang's current reputation, as long as he reveals that he wants to leave his original company, many record companies will naturally rush to poach him.  But the wool comes from the sheep. The new company paid a lot of money to poach people. In the end, it had to squeeze Chen Baqiang. It was better to stay at Warner Bros. than leave.

    But now, there is Wang Zijun, a big financial backer, who directly paid Chen Baiqiang to redeem himself and sign into their new company. He Chaoqiong signed the contract himself. This was not only helping his friends, but also signing a good singer for the company.

    Wang Zijun smiled at Huang Jiaju and others who were still in a daze: "Congratulations, you are about to become the first batch of singers signed by Jinshi Records."

    Huang Jiaju, Huang Jiaqiang, Ye Shirong and Huang Guanzhong looked at each other in shock. They all couldn't believe it was true. Just now they were suffering from not being able to join the record company, but now they were directly invited by Wang Zijun to join the record company!

    With Beyond, there will soon be Chen Boqiang, and with Chen Jiantian, a super singer discoverer, Faye Wong and others must not be able to escape.  This record company, which is just for fun, seems a bit exciting.
