- When the concert was about to start, an old woman about 60 years old came. Wang Zijun immediately went over and said hello: "Hello, Aunt Wang!"
This person is the leader of the Oriental Song and Dance Ensemble, the wife of the Vice Minister of Culture, and the head of the song review team for this concert.
Why did Wang Zijun agree to attend this concert? In addition to coming to see Cui Jian and others, the most important thing is to give face to Aunt Wang, who is very optimistic about this concert.
Soon after agreeing to attend the concert of 100 singers, Wang Zijun took this opportunity to send a videotape of "A Chinese Ghost Story" to Mrs. Wang. At that time, the movie had not even been released in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Wang Kun is an old lady with a very open mind. After reading it, she probably understood what Wang Zijun meant and recommended it to her husband, Vice Minister Zhou of the Ministry of Culture. Only then did Wang Zijun get the personal phone number of Vice Minister Zhou, and then contacted Minister Chen of the Ministry of Culture. Wang's Pictures sent someone over to discuss it, and finally got the qualification to submit it for review.
"Mr. Wang, welcome back to the motherland." Mrs. Wang pointed toward the stadium stage and said with a smile, "You see, our mainland concerts are pretty good."
"Haha, Aunt Wang, you can just call me Xiao Wang. We are all the Wang family, we were the same family five hundred years ago." Wang Zijun said with a smile.
The old lady smiled and said: "Then I will rely on my elders and act like my elders, and call you Xiao Wang."
"It should be," Wang Zijun commented with a smile, "This party is really good! The singers are all very good."
Of course it was a lie to say yes.
In fact, this concert will be at the level of a college-level concert 20 years from now. The lighting, sound, costumes, and scene management were all bad, many times worse than the Spring Festival Gala a few months ago.
But it was this amateur-level concert that triggered the great development of mainland pop music.
Wang Zijun and the old lady were sitting at the front of the auditorium. Hundreds of singers on the stage had already started singing "Let the World Be Full of Love". Although Wang Zijun could sing this song, Guo Feng and the others didn't know it, so they didn't ask him to sing along. Besides, if Wang Zijun goes up. With his position, he naturally has to lead the singing, otherwise he would overshadow the performance.
The old lady probably likes to compare things from the mainland with those outside. She waited until "Let the World Be Full of Love" was finished. Then asked: "Mr. Wang, this song "Let the World Be Full of Love" was specially written by our creator to commemorate the International Year of Peace. How do you think it compares to Michael Jackson's "wo_are_the_world"?"
"Each has its own characteristics." Wang Zijun thought for a moment and said, "The song "Let the World Be Full of Love" is more atmospheric."
The old lady was really happy after hearing this and continued to watch the performance.
After that, the singers sang alone. Not long after, a super beauty came on stage and attracted Wang Zijun's attention as soon as she opened her mouth. It's not because of her looks, but because her singing voice is so sweet that it can make even a hard-hearted man melt.
The old lady introduced enthusiastically: "This little girl's name is Li Ningyu. She is a singer trained by our song and dance troupe. As soon as she joined the troupe, I found that she has very good qualities."
¡°Her timbre is highly recognizable and it is easy to become popular.¡± Wang Zijun commented from a business perspective.
The old lady said: "In terms of fame, they still can't keep up with your Hong Kong and Taiwan singers. The best-selling songs in the mainland are still Hong Kong and Taiwan's song belts."
What¡¯s the use of selling well? Most of them are covers, and not a penny of the income from cover songs is given to Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.
But at this time, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Taiwan are not qualified to talk about their counterparts in the mainland. Many of the videos and records from mainland China were smuggled from Hong Kong. As for Taiwan's industry, its prosperity is comparable to that of mainland China twenty years later, so much so that the media directly called Taiwan the "pirate kingdom."
Wang Zijun suddenly thought of something and said to the old lady: "Aunt Wang, what do you think I make a record for this Miss Li?"
The old lady was obviously mistaken. Surprised: "You want to sell Li Ningyu's songs to Hong Kong and Taiwan?"
"No, I invested in a music company in Guangzhou last year. I meant to let this music company produce records for Miss Li." Wang Zijun explained.
The old lady said: "This is a good idea. Mr. Wang, I am very confident in your music production ability. I will write an approval note when I get back."
"Then it's settled." Wang Zijun smiled.
Li Ningyu, one of her records will sell 8 million in mainland China next year. Sales of 50,000 copies in Hong Kong and Taiwan are considered platinum, and 100,000 copies are considered double platinum. What does selling eight million copies mean? Counted as 160 platinum?
However, given the current artist system in mainland China, Li Ningyu belongs to the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, and no matter how well her records sell, then?It is the record production company and the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe that split the money. As for the singer Li Ningyu herself, she can only get a monthly salary from the song and dance troupe, and at most a large bonus.
This is obviously a fucking rule. For example, Li Lianjie's "Shaolin Temple" a few years ago had a box office of over 100 million yuan, but as the leading actor, he could only receive a few hundred yuan in salary.
Wang Zijun believes that as long as he brings Li Ningyu to his company and releases one or two records at most, Li Ningyu will definitely quit the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe and join the company as a commercial singer - who can't live with money?
The old lady obviously didn¡¯t know that Wang Zijun was trying to poach her, and she was still chatting with Wang Zijun while watching the show. The content of the chat gradually moved from domestic to foreign countries, and they talked about "Titanic". She asked with some suspicion: "Mr. Wang, I heard that the box office of "Titanic" was more than one billion U.S. dollars. ?¡±
"Almost more than one billion." Wang Zijun nodded.
"How much foreign exchange will we earn? It seems we should also carry out reform and opening up of the cultural industry." The old lady sighed. She had always thought this rumor was false, but she didn't expect it to be confirmed by Wang Zijun himself.
Last year, China¡¯s national foreign exchange reserves were only 2.6 billion U.S. dollars (a large amount of foreign exchange was lost due to repeated investment in 1984). The box office of Wang Zijun¡¯s movie actually accounted for half of the national foreign exchange. This is completely beyond the imagination of the old lady.
Wang Zijun patiently explained: "In fact, the cost of this movie is close to 200 million U.S. dollars, and I personally invested most of the money. But in addition to the share of the theater chain and cinemas, as well as the share of the production partners, there are also taxes , my net income at the box office is only a little over 300 million."
"Oh, 300 million is a lot." The old lady didn't know much about how foreign movie box office profits were distributed. It felt a little better to hear Wang Zijun say it, otherwise it would have been too scary.
The old lady's husband is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture. She also starred in "The White-Haired Girl". She is extremely interested in movies and doesn't watch many performances anymore. She keeps dragging Wang Zijun to talk about the American film industry and Hong Kong and Taiwan Chinese. Things like the current state of movies.
The two chatted for more than an hour. Wang Zijun felt a little bored, but the old lady was still interested.
Suddenly, I suddenly went up to personal. A trousers' foot covered the ankle, and the other trousers were revealed to expose half of the calf. Coupled with the upper body gown, if we brought a hat, the whole traitor image.
This person is none other than the godfather of rock music in mainland China, and Cui Jian, who previously performed a moonwalk on his own during the chorus.
¡°I used to ask endlessly,
When will you come with me?
But you always laugh at me,
Nothing
¡¡±
While Wang Zijun was talking to the old lady, he had other ideas.
Among the more than 100 singers who performed live, there are not many singers like Cui Jian who are very capable but not famous. They create and perform works, but they are worried that they can't find a way to make money by recording records.
First, buy all the songs for which you own the copyright, and then make a series of albums called "Peace Concert of 100 Singers". If it is run properly, it will probably sell well.
Then, those with strong creative ability or good singing skills are absorbed into the company as an artist reserve. Don¡¯t be afraid if there are more signed artists. Anyway, mainland singers are easy to make a living now. The company helps arrange announcements, which is much more glorious than them doing it in private. However, as a result, the company will need to send more people in terms of business and management. It will have to transfer some from Rolling Stone Records, or directly hire relevant professionals from Hong Kong and Taiwan to the mainland.
The concert was about to end, but I heard the host shouting: "Now we invite the international star Mr. Wang Zijun from Taiwan to sing "Tomorrow Will Be Better"!"
"I seem to hear the word Wang Zijun. Did I hear it wrong?"
"I think I heard it too."
"Isn't Wang Zijun really here?"
"Look, look, is he the one on stage?"
"It's true! This trip is not in vain, the ticket is worth it!"
""
There was an instant sensation in the stadium. Those who came here to watch the concert were all people who liked pop music. They were considered the most fashionable group in mainland China at this time. Wang Zijun's "Childhood", "The Way You Look", "Real Hero" and other songs are as popular in mainland China as Teresa Teng's songs. It can be said that they are all fans of Wang Zijun.
Not just those fans, even among the hundreds of celebrities on stage, at least ** are fans of Wang Zijun. They were all enlightened by listening to the songs of Wang Zijun and Teresa Teng. For them, Wang Zijun and Teresa Teng are nothing less than the godfathers and mentors of their musical lives.mother.
Wang Zijun walked onto the stage, shook hands with several members of the accompaniment band, and then returned to the center of the stage to sing: "Knock gently to wake up the sleeping heart, slowly open your eyes"
"Okay!" As soon as he sang one sentence, thousands of people in the audience cheered. Not screams and applause, but loud cheers and applause like when watching a Peking opera.
Wang Zijun has not officially appeared on stage to sing for many years. As soon as he got the microphone, he immediately found the feeling. The other singers at the scene felt the deepest and most shocked. Wang Zijun's superstar aura was so full that he didn't need any dance moves or gestures to control the stage with just one opening of his mouth. . . )
