    Long Piaopiao, anyone who had fantasies about Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music in the 1980s should be familiar with this name. Her songs and unique name have always been engraved in the hearts of fans.  "Where Does the Wind Come From", "How Much Tenderness and How Many Tears", "Dancing Girl", "Evening Breeze", "Farewell Coast", "Let Me Leave Silently", each of them is very popular and lingers around for three days.  Long Piaopiao is a singer of the same generation as Teresa Teng, Xu Xiaofeng and Feng Feifei. She is the second Taiwanese singer to release records in the mainland after Teresa Teng. After her debut, wherever there are Chinese people, there will be Long Piaopiao's singing voice. She is known for her  His unique and elegant singing style has become popular in the music circles on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.  Her singing voice is powerful and her styles are diverse, but she remains unchanged and adapts to all changes. This is just like her name, which complements each other. Chen Yihua listened to many songs of Long Piaopiao in his previous life and liked this singer very much. He thought she was very popular.  Sexual charm, I feel that she has a fearless momentum and a sense of no hesitation when dealing with high notes. Her unique dragon tune has a magnetic voice, gentle and delicate emotions, and a shocking vibrato. The higher the tune, the stronger the dragon tune; the lower the tune, the stronger the dragon tune.  , the softer the dragon tone.  When she sings high notes, she always sings her true voice directly, without switching into falsetto, without avoiding or adapting, giving people the impression of being so heroic.  This generation of singers is also known as the New Year Queen. In Singapore and Malaysia, every time the New Year is approaching, Southeast Asia¡¯s Radio Star and Malaysia will play the New Year song, and Long Piaopiao¡¯s familiar voice will always float in.  In the ears of Nanyang people, during her more than thirty years of singing career, Long Piaopiao has been selling out one record after another with her unique "dragon accent".  The Rolling Stones owned by Chen Yihua is a record company. Of course, he will not let go of this generation of singers who are just beginning to show their strength. This is a gold mine that can be seen. For Long Piaopiao, Chen Yihua can be said to be determined to win, even if she and  The Malaysian record company signed a contract with very high conditions.  Chen Yihua will eventually find a way to bring her under his banner. In his opinion, with the memory of future generations, this investment will not lose money no matter how much money is spent, and the return rate is still calculated as a hundred times.  "Bo Tao, how did you do with the things I asked you to follow up on?" After telling Li Mingyuan to focus on Long Piaopiao during this period, Chen Yihua turned his attention to Liang Botao.     'boss.  Leslie Cheung is a good boy, he is handsome, and his singing is not bad. As long as he practices a little more, it will not be difficult for him to become a great talent in the future. There is also Chen Shuhua.  She arrived in Hong Kong some time ago. I also tested her ability. Her singing skills are very good and her singing voice is delicate and clear. Her mother Xu Hui has also agreed to sign a contract with our Rolling Stones. According to your instructions, the role of Chen Shuhua's manager will be given to her first.  Mother's Responsibility' Leslie Cheung and Chen Shuhua are both fine.  It¡¯s just that Zhen Ni¡¯s side hasn¡¯t been settled yet, but I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a big problem. Although Zhen Ni hasn¡¯t given me a clear answer yet, she¡¯s very excited about my offer, and she didn¡¯t reject it at all.¡± I heard the boss ask himself  , Liang Botao certainly does not have stage fright. Several people here have done a good job in preparation. Although Liang Botao is the oldest among them, he is no exception.  There was no hesitation. As soon as Chen Yihua finished asking, he answered.  Seeing Liang Botao's confident look, Chen Yihua couldn't help but remind him, "Bo Tao, you better not be too careless about Zhenni. We are a start-up at Rolling Stone Records."  Although she has gained some fame in Hong Kong now, she is not the only one after all. If other record companies know that Zhen Ni intends to develop in Hong Kong, it will inevitably cause complications.¡¯ Nodded.  Liang Botao acquiesced to Chen Yihua's words, paused, and then said, "Boss, you are right. I will be careful. If possible, I will try my best to avoid leaks of the news. But boss, I have talked with Zhen Ni. Although  I don't think it's a big problem for her to sign a contract with our Rolling Stones, but the contract period is not likely to be very long.' Chen Yihua is very relaxed about the conditions for his singers. In terms of money, I believe that there is no record company in Hong Kong that can be like the Rolling Stones.  The asking price is so high, but the contract period and liquidated damages are very harsh. Generally speaking, singers who are not very famous nowadays want to sign a contract with the Rolling Stones. If they make their debut with the Rolling Stones, they will be signed for ten years.  Listening to what Liang Botao said, Chen Yihua was not very disappointed. After all, Jenny is different from other singers under the Rolling Stones. Before she signed a contract with the Rolling Stones, Jenny was already a very famous singer in Taiwan and Hong Kong. People like them didn't need to  Of course, stars promoted by Rolling Stone don't want their freedom to be restricted.  After thinking for a while, Chen Yihua said, "Bo Tao, you can take care of Zhen Ni's affairs. We can increase some of the conditions and signing bonus for her. If she can sign for a few more years, she can sign for as many years as possible. If it doesn't work, there is nothing we can do."  , but if possible, I hope to sign a contract with her before the concert in May, and then if time permits, I can have her on stage. In this way, we will have another heavyweight for the Rolling Stones concert.  Contestants, not only for our concert??An extra layer of insurance can further enhance the reputation of the Rolling Stones' Having said this, Chen Yihua no longer wants to discuss Zhen Ni's affairs. The specific operations will be handled by the people under his command, and he only needs to give orders.  This will help his subordinates to perform freely. Too much intervention is not in line with Chen Yihua's original intention. He paused for a moment and then said, "Bo Tao, do you think Chen Shuhua can go to work now? I hope she can come to our office as soon as possible."  Recording songs in the studio, I think the style of the Cantonese song "The Edge of Love and Pain" that was released some time ago is quite suitable for Chen Shuhua to sing. If possible, we can also arrange for her to perform in a concert. Liang Botao did not expect that Chen Yihua would want to sing  The song "The Edge of Love and Pain" was given to Chen Shuhua to sing. Apart from Chen Yihua, he has the most say in this song. The first song the Winners sang after joining the Rolling Stones was the Cantonese song "Love and Pain"  "The Edge of Love" and the Chinese song "How Much Love Can Ever Come". Liang Botao bought versions of the two songs from Chen Yihua a long time ago. He is very familiar with the song "The Edge of Love and Pain".  .  After thinking about it for a while, Liang Botao agreed to Chen Yihua's idea. He felt that this was not bad. The song "The Edge of Love and Pain" was indeed not suitable for the Wenner Band and Su Rui to sing. Taking advantage of the Wenner craze during this period, it was not over yet.  , releasing this song now will also have a good publicity effect for Chen Shuhua.  "By the way, Bo Tao, how are the recruitment of music producers going?" Chen Yihua asked, looking at Liang Bo Tao.  ¡®Boss, I have contacted those music producers.  "Many people are willing to join our record company," Liang Botao replied confidently. Originally, this kind of poaching job was the most difficult, but because the conditions offered by Rolling Stone were good, it was not as laborious as Liang Botao originally thought.  ¡®Bo Tao, don¡¯t relax about those song producers and lyricists, and don¡¯t just focus on those music producers who are already famous.  If we at Rolling Stone want to become stronger and bigger, we must have a long-term vision, know how to invest in the future, and cultivate music producers who have grown up from us at Rolling Stone. This is the royal way." After a pause, Chen Yihua continued.  'When Rolling Stone was founded, I said that welcoming people who really love music to join our record company is not empty talk. If a record company wants to grow, the most important thing is people. Only with talents can a record company develop and grow.'  The musicians who want to join our company may not be well-known now, but there is no guarantee that there won¡¯t be one or two talented people among them.  In my opinion, there are many talents among the people, but they have not been discovered just because they are not given the opportunity to show off. We at Rolling Stone must know how to give others opportunities, based on strength, and should not blindly rely on qualifications.' Listen to what Chen Yihua said,  Liang Botao opened his mouth, hesitated and said, 'Boss.  I think the music producers our company has now have met our needs, is there no need to recruit more people? Because Rolling Stone Records has not been established for a long time, many employees are newly hired, but after this period of recruitment  , many positions are already in place. Although there are enough people, I don¡¯t know why Chen Yihua keeps recruiting people.  In Liang Botao's opinion, this is a complete waste.  ¡®Bo Tao, we Rolling Stones can never have too many people like this in music creation, look at it.  In such a short period of time, our company has already signed five singers, and there will be more in the future. It is better to be well prepared now than to be overwhelmed later.' 'And you should know the value of a good song. I think singers  There are four aspects to whether you can be popular. The first is appearance, the second is publicity, the third is singing ability, and the fourth is whether the singer has sung any good songs. Among these four aspects, I think the most important one is  When it comes to good songs, there are many capable and good-looking singers. For publicity, as long as the company has money, they can spread the word, but good songs may not always be available. It does not cost much money to give opportunities to music producers who are not famous, but  As long as one of them can write good songs, then the return rate will not be the little money we invested in them. Also, I hope that our Rolling Stone Records company can launch a dub team of our own as soon as possible.  Team' If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Of course, a record company can't just have singers. Music producers are indispensable. Although Chen Yihua has countless good songs in his hands, a halfway person like him must  It takes the help of some professional music producers to complete a song, and Chen Yihua alone can't do it. He can plagiarize, but he can't create. Chen Yihua remembers many classic songs, but not ordinary songs.  I have memorized a few songs. A singer can't just let him go back and forth with just a few songs. Rolling Stone Records and Chen Yihua can only provide some help in the early stage. If you want to develop later, you still need to rely on those professional talents. ?The current prices in Hong Kong are not very high, and labor wages are not too high. It does not cost much to hire a professional music producer. Singer and music producer are two different concepts. A singer needs to spend time and money.  They make investments, unlike music producers. Chen Yihua does not need to make any investment in the early stage. The production fees of famous music producers are calculated on a per-song basis.  Most of the music producers currently employed by the Rolling Stones are not well-known, and their wages are similar to those of temporary workers, and they are the kind that can leave at any time. As long as these people have not passed the internal assessment of the Rolling Stones within a period of time, then they  They will be fired. Even if there are more such employees, they will not cause much trouble to Chen Yihua.
