Huaxing Records. />
Wei Qishan stood aside nervously, lowering her head and not daring to speak. There were other people in the office. The music producer who was usually irritable and often scolded Wei Qishan. Now he was facing Fang Yihua, who looked cold-faced, and dared not say a word.
As the champion of the first Chinese Rookie Singing Competition, Wei Qishan is undoubtedly a lucky person. Not only did she successfully sign a contract with Huaxing Company, but she also quickly released her first record. Although there are only 6 songs in this record, and 4 of them are old songs covered, Wei Qishan herself is already very satisfied.
The record has been on the market for more than a week and its sales have reached more than 8,000, which is very rare for a new singer.
Today, the record of sales of Hong Kong singers' single-shot records is Xu Guanjie's "Half-King" five years ago, which sold more than 400,000 copies in Hong Kong. This record has not been broken until Kang Jianfei traveled through time. Later, Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye" sold more than 400,000, but it still did not exceed "Half-King" by "Half-King".
Xu Guanjie will be counted afterwards. Xu Xiaofeng's three consecutive records in recent years have sold over 300,000 in Hong Kong. In the back row are Alan Tam, Danny Chan and others, with sales of about 50,000 to 300,000.
Platinum records with sales of more than 50,000 yuan are considered as popular singers. Ordinary new singers can sell sales of more than 10,000 yuan, which is already a hit.
If Anita Mui's "Thousands of Songs" had not appeared, then the first record of Wei Qishan, the champion, would have put a perfect end to the first Chinese Rookie Singing Competition.
But there is no "if" in reality. Now Anita Mui's songs are playing all over the streets. Especially the song "Thousands of Songs", whether it is a karaoke hall, nightclub, dance hall, cafe, audio-visual store, or department stores, you can hear the familiar melody everywhere.
Although Fengxing Records did not announce the sales of "Thousand Thousand Songs", there is no doubt that the winner of the singing competition was defeated by Anita Mui, the eliminated person.
Fang Yihua's gloomy face was silent for a while, but finally she didn't scold her. She waved her hand and said, "Go out, Afen and Aquan stay."
Wei Qishan and her producers were like amnesty, and quickly escaped from the office, leaving only two heads of Huaxing Records. Chen Shufen and Chen Liuquan.
Fang Yihua stared at them and said, "This time your singing competition was held very well. Anita Mui was just an unexpected situation. Now "Thousands of Songs" are very popular, so we don't need to compete with Fengxing Records to make a big splash. The important thing is to discover good singers and write good songs, and to find a young singer with potential but not too popular now to focus on training."
Chen Shufen continued: "There is a signed singer and actor named Leslie Cheung. I think that young man has great potential and looks pretty."
Fang Yihua is now in charge of TVB. Her biggest rival is Li's TV Station. Naturally, she is very familiar with the situation on Lishi. As soon as Chen Shufen mentioned Leslie Cheung, she immediately had an impression.
Fang Yihua pondered: "Zhang Guorong is well-known in TV series in Lishi and is highly valued by him. It should be difficult to dig it up."
Chen Shufen explained: "I have a good relationship with Zhang Guorong's singing teacher Li Xiaotian. He once revealed some time ago that he wanted to take Zhang Guorong away from Lishi."
Fang Yihua heard that he could poach his opponent's popular star, and immediately became shocked and asked, "Is this true?"
Chen Shufen said in detail: "Zhang Guorong was the runner-up of the Lishi singing competition four years ago and was rated as the most promising newcomer by the newspapers at that time. However, after signing the Lishi contract, Lishi has not had enough packaging and publicity efforts, and has not had a correct positioning for Zhang Guorong, which has led to Zhang Guorong's records being poor. Li Xiaotian is very dissatisfied with this. In addition, there have been disputes within Lishi recently, so he wants to take Zhang Guorong away from Lishi."
Fang Yihua did not agree immediately, but said, "Come Zhang Guorong's record and I'll listen to it."
Chen Shufen immediately went out and found several records of Zhang Guorong after more than ten minutes. Chen Liuquan moved out of the record player and started singing in the office.
When Fang Yihua was young, she was a beautiful singer who was popular in Southeast Asia. Later, she was taken to Hong Kong by Shao Yifu. She originally wanted to hide her beautiful house. However, Fang Yihua quickly showed her management skills. So she was arranged by Shao Yifu to join the Shaw Brothers Company and climbed to her current position step by step.
Fang Yihua's music appreciation is even much better than Chen Shufen and Chen Liuquan. After listening to several songs by Zhang Guorong, he immediately made a decision: "We must sign this singer, and his teacher Li Xiaotian (the songwriter of "The Great Wall will never be able to do it") together."
Chen Shufen said: "I'm afraid I can't come yet. The contract between Zhang Guorong and Lishi will not expire next year. If you poach people now, you will spend hundreds of thousands more."
Fang Yihua's control over costs was even more serious than that of Shao Yifu. He immediately said: "Then let's negotiate first and then poach people next year. Is there any other candidate in addition to Zhang Guorong?"
Chen Liuquan hesitated for a while and couldn't help but say, "Xu Xiaofeng's record contract will be full next year."
Fang Yihua had the urge to roll her eyes and said directly: "Don't think about Xu Xiaofeng. Huaxing Records Company is just starting now, focusing on discovering new people."
Chen Liuquan coughed awkwardly and said, "Yes, I will pay attention to discovering new people."
Why did Fang Yihua refuse to poach Xu Xiaofeng?
Because Xu Xiaofeng is now well-deserved by the Hong Kong music scene, not only has the record sales exceeded 300,000 consecutive copies, but the company signed is a giant record company like Colombia. Last year, Xu Xiaofeng sang in a nightclub, and the song reward reached a sky-high price of 100,000. I heard that private gatherings even cost 200,000 yuan.
How much does a record cost now? It only rose to more than 20 yuan this summer.
Ordinary singers have to sell 100,000 records before they can get the reward for Xu Xiaofeng singing in a nightclub.
Huaxing Company, which has just transformed into a regular record company, is qualified to sign such a queen-level singer? That is purely self-infant.

…………
St. St. Bian Church Middle School is holding a grand school anniversary event.
The voice of the student host came from the stage: "A program over there was a sing of "Thousands of Songs" by Jiang Hongyan from Class 2, Middle School 3, for everyone..."
"cut!"
Before the host finished speaking, the students in the audience had already responded with a disdainful inverted voice.
Zhou Huimin, who was preparing in the backstage, asked nervously: "Awei, why is it another person who sang "Thousand Thousand Que Songs"? Which one is the first one?"
Awei said with a funny look: "The fifth one is the fifth one. Fortunately, I chose Sister Amei's "If You Are Love" (Cantonese version of "Dream Chaser"). But Amin, you are in trouble. You chose songs and collided with many people."
We cannot blame the organizers of the performance, because the students sign up for the performance themselves, and everything they perform is decided by the performers.
As a result, more than 40 people signed up for the performance, and 26 people chose to sing "Thousand Thousand Songs". Except for those who were too talented to go on stage and those who were persuaded to sing other songs, there were still 11 people left, and they were all going to sing "Thousand Thousand Songs" in the end.
This song is so popular that the few students who started singing it won the cheers of the audience, regardless of whether they sang it well or not.
As for now, they are all cheering because everyone is impatient to listen.
The one who just sang "Thousand Thousand Que Songs" ran away in a panic after singing, but the host said again: "... Zhou Huimin from Class 1 of Love Second Class 1 sang "Thousand Thousand Que Songs"..."
"Are you making a mistake? Come again!"
"Please, stop spoiling this song."
"Get off the stage!"
“…”
Zhou Huimin came on stage with such inverted sounds. Before she could start singing, she was under a lot of pressure, so the lyrics of the first line were out of tune, and the booing in the audience became louder.
Zhou Huimin will be more than a month before she turns 14. Although her skin is as smooth as milk, she has no friends at school. Because her father died before she was born and her family has been poor since childhood, her expression is always cold and does not like to laugh, giving people the feeling of keeping people from thousands of miles away.
Not only that, 13-year-old Zhou Huimin has a slightly fat body, a baby fat face and short hair, which is far from the word "beauty".
As he grew up, Zhou Huimin only has two good friends who have been together since childhood.
The noise in the audience became louder and louder, and Zhou Huimin's mind was in a mess. She tried to calm down and finished singing, but in the end she didn't even know how to step down.
After stepping down, Zhou Huimin didn't even come back to her senses, and she couldn't even figure out the direction. Her good friend Yaqin came over and hugged her and said, "Amin, you sang very well!"
Zhou Huimin said in a daze: "Didn't help? I don't know what I sing myself."
Soon Awei finished the performance and said in surprise: "Amin, Yaqin, I heard from the girl in the next class that Sister Amei will be on TV tomorrow night."
Yaqin couldn't wait to ask: "Which station?"
Awei smiled and said, "Of course it's Lishi. The last time Sister Amei was doing the show was in Lishi. Moreover, I also heard that as long as the audience who successfully called the TV station within an hour after the show was broadcast tomorrow, they would randomly draw 10 lucky people, and no one could get a signed record of Sister Amei for free. The one with the best luck can also be a guest at Sister Amei's concert."
"Sister Amei is going to hold a concert too?" Zhou Huimin asked excitedly. This is completely different from her usual cold and cold one.
Awei explained: "It's not that kind of large concert, it's a small musician's club."
Yaqin said, "What are you waiting for? Go home and call."
Awei said speechlessly: "It will be effective to call tomorrow. What are you anxious about?"
Zhou Huimin asked: "How many are Li's TV stations?"
