Wang Feng, known as Wang Lepong, is the music emperor in Zhang’s eyes.
Compared with seniors such as Dou Wei and He Yong, his hair is obviously not long enough. Because he was a violinist at the National Ballet of China a while ago, so he cannot be idle while eating national food, and his hair barely covers his ears.
Wang Feng formed a band with his friends some time ago, called No. 43 Baojia Street. At first, they just secretly performed underground performances. Later, he heard that Xiongfei Records was signing rock singers, so he went there with his demo to try his luck, and it turned out that
Being valued and signed.
Classmate Wang Feng was so excited that he quit his job at the National Ballet of China, studied hard behind closed doors, and wrote three original rock songs within a month.
For the famous rock seniors, Wang Feng and his friends have some admiration, but also a bit of disgust. His band all graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music, with solid foundation and high musical literacy, and their personal qualities are also very good.
Great.
But what about people like Lingdian Band, Tang Dynasty Band, Dou Wei, and He Yong? Most of them are wild people with strong gangster habits, and they are ready to curse at every mouth. It is difficult for Wang Feng to mix with these people.
After the signing ceremony, all the singers were called together for a meeting. It was a very dark place, with more than 20 people in it, and the small meeting room was packed to the brim.
Of course, these signed singers usually don't get paid, but the company will help them contact them for performances. If anyone can produce good works, the company will also help them release albums. If they become completely popular, they can also help them hold concerts.
Of course, concerts are just a luxury. Nowadays, rock music is relatively niche in the mainland market. Although there are many fans, they are scattered all over the country. If you hold a concert in Shanghai, it is impossible for fans to come by plane or train.
Not to mention the mainland, even in Hong Kong, most people regard rock music as a monster. Only a few such as beyond and tai chi bands can succeed, and their works are relatively popular and popular.
Zhang Peiren clapped his hands and said: "Everyone, be quiet. Now I would like to invite Mr. Kang Jianfei to speak."
Wang Feng and his friends immediately shut up, but unfortunately a few of them ignored them and continued to chatter about their own affairs below.
Kang Jianfei glanced at the singers and said: "I am planning to hold a rock night at the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong in December, where rock singers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places will perform together. Those who don't want to go can get out of the conference room immediately. Those who want to go can
Just sit quietly and quietly for me!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone fell silent.
No matter how individual these rock singers are, they are still human beings, and they have their own unique characteristics.
Maybe they despise money and authority, but being able to perform on stage at the Hong Kong Coliseum is too tempting for rock musicians who can only perform underground performances in the mainland.
Kang Jianfei continued: "You are all engaged in art. It's normal to have a little personality. You can't create good rock music if you follow the rules. It's not like those people who are engaged in pop music. You drink coffee and follow the routine, and you can write several songs a day.
The song is so boring!"
"Hehehe..." Many rock singers below laughed.
They really looked down on those who played pop music. Kang Jianfei's words brought them closer together very easily, and they subconsciously regarded Kang Jianfei as one of their own.
Kang Jianfei added: "I personally like rock music, and I discovered Beyond in Hong Kong. It is precisely because I like it that I established Magic Rock Records today to bring together friends who love rock music, in order to provide
We provide a platform to promote rock music in China and let more people like rock music. I hope that in the next three years, rock singers can hold concerts at the Beijing Workers' Stadium instead of only doing underground concerts like now
Guerrilla performance!"
"Okay!" Wang Feng's blood boiled with excitement and he was the first to raise his hands to cheer.
Dou Wei glanced at Wang Feng and muttered: "Shabi!"
In fact, Dou Wei was also a little excited. Who doesn't want his work to be popular? Who wants to perform underground all day long instead of performing in a stadium with tens of thousands of people?
It's just that these rock singers are also hypocritical. They have obviously been moved by Kang Jianfei's words, but on the surface they still pretend to be indifferent.
Kang Jianfei quickly got to the point: "But rock musicians must also abide by the law. If something happens to you, the company will try its best to help you settle it. But if anyone dares to breach the contract and dare to cheat, then he does not follow the moral principles of the world and will not give any compensation."
I'm trying to save someone's face, and you'll be responsible for all the consequences! I won't say who it is specifically here."
Including He Yong, several singers blushed. They had a lot of little tricks. It's not that they sincerely want to mess around, but rock music people don't like to save money. They spend as much as they earn. When they don't have enough money, they have to think about it.
The method is to sell two songs behind the company's back and they don't take it seriously at all.
Lingdian Band is the old man of Xiongfei Records. The lead singer Zhou Xiaoou pounded the table and said: "Don't worry, boss, our Lingdian Band will never do that kind of embarrassing thing!"
"Lao Zhou is good, I'm very optimistic about you. But I think you can cut your long hair and shave your head, which will make you more stylish." Kang Jianfei said with a smile. Zhou Xiaoou and the others are considered the mainstream among the non-mainstream, and their works are relatively biased.
Popular. The song "Love Me or Not" that year was also popular all over the country. Many young people sang to girls "Love Me or Not? Do you love me or not?"
Zhou Xiaoou touched the long hair that he had grown for several years and said happily: "Okay, I'll shave my head later."
"Flatterer!" Many singers secretly despised this person.
Kang Jianfei had the last word: "From now on, if a singer under the company commits any breach of contract, no matter how popular you are, no matter how much money you can make for the company, you will be banned and held legally responsible!"
This was the main purpose of Kang Jianfei's lecture, because these rock singers were too difficult to control.
After Kang Jianfei finished speaking, Zhang Peiren continued: "Let me talk about the Hung Hom concert in mid-December. To be honest, I don't know what to do now. Because the audience is all Hong Kong people, and some of them can't even understand Mandarin.
.I don’t know whether your music is acceptable in Hong Kong, but one thing is very clear. This concert will definitely lose money. Mr. Kang’s money is hard-earned, not blown by strong winds. He will pay the money to
When you hold a concert, I hope you can keep it in mind."
Classmate Wang Feng said: "You treat me as a national scholar, and I should repay you as a national scholar!"
These words touched the hearts of many singers, and they were very moved by this, so they collectively gave Wang Feng a roll of their eyes.
Zhang Peiren said: "If you want to attend the Hung Hom concert, go to my place to register after the concert and bring your best masterpiece with you!"
These guys were not on track during the meeting, but they were very enthusiastic when signing up and wanted to fly to Hong Kong immediately.
The Hung Hom Rock Night in 1994 had a terrifying influence, shocking Hong Kong people. At that time, Anthony Wong was also watching. When Ho Wing sang "Garbage Dump", Anthony Wong was so excited that he ran wildly and threw his own
The clothes were torn to pieces.
The Hung Hom Rock Night in another time and space was very difficult to hold, and the plan almost aborted under the premise that it was destined to lose money. Now with Kang Jianfei's support, it will be much easier and smoother. Singers in the entire Hong Kong music scene have to sell their face.
, it is a must to watch the performance in person.
