1984 has passed quickly, and the new year has arrived. Chinese people have no feelings about New Year's Day. The Spring Festival is a Chinese festival, but the annual Capital University Association still has to be held. Jiang Hong relied on Liu Lang's performance last year.
The two "divine songs" in the union became the president of the student union of Huaxia University. However, this year he did not come to Liu Lang for "trouble", not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare.
Jiang Hong's father is the minister of the country's Fourth Machinery Department. He is very aware of Liu Lang's current status in the country's top leadership, so he secretly told his son to have more contact with Liu Lang, but he must not give Liu Lang any trouble.
Trouble, don't ask Liu Lang for anything like joining the federation. He's doing all the national affairs now, so there's no time to talk nonsense with you guys.
In addition, Jiang Hong also has a book "The Wave of the Third Industry" in his hand, and he must study it if he has nothing to do, because his father told him that as long as he can master this book, he will be able to go further in his career in the future. Jiang Hong is indeed
He has great management skills and even organized a study meeting to lead several people to study this book.
Although Liu Lang would not perform at the college association, he was still very interested and attended the party held at the China Foreign Affairs University. Cui Jun caused quite a shock when he sang his new song "Nothing".
Well, logically speaking, this song should not have been created until 1986, but now it is more than a year ahead of schedule. The reason is that Liu Lang's song inspired him.
Cui Jun has already formed his own band, and many of the people in it are famous rock and roll singers in their previous lives, such as Dou Wei, etc. This band has also joined Ye Jinsheng's Jingsheng Culture Co., Ltd.
Ye Jinsheng has been experiencing a mixture of joy and sorrow this year. The recorded tapes are very popular, but the pirated tapes are even more popular than the ones he sells. Although it indirectly promotes the development of the country's music industry, it also causes him heavy losses, even though he can sell it well.
One million, but in the end he only made over 200,000 yuan. Liu Lang thought he was "poor" and didn't even ask for 10% of his own money.
Just after New Year's Day, Ye Jinsheng found Liu Lang.
"Liu Lang, I'm really sorry. The tapes were selling very well, but they were all screwed up by those scammers... I'll save your money for you first, and when I succeed, I'll give it back to you twice as much.
!”
Ye Jinsheng is a little disgraced. Of course, he did not lose money this year. The company's income exceeded 100,000. How many companies could have such a large amount of income in 1984? It's just that it is a bit different from Ye Jinsheng's hope. If it weren't for those piracy, he would
The company's revenue can reach millions. Now in the streets and alleys you can hear "you at the same table" and "new long march road"
These songs, but most of these tapes were bought as pirated copies, and the prices were lower than his genuine ones. Ye Jin was really angry to death, but there was nothing he could do about it. It was very easy to make such pirated tapes. People just bought the genuine ones.
Hundreds of recordings can be made the next day, and there are countless people across the country working on it, and if you want to arrest someone, you don’t know where to catch them.
"Brother Ye, it's easy to talk about money. I'm not short of money. If you are short of money, I have some here. If you don't have too much, I still have hundreds of thousands, even if it is to lend you temporarily!"
Liu Lang said slowly.
"Hundreds of thousands?"
Ye Jinsheng was dumbfounded when he heard that. I had been working so hard for a year and was exhausted, but I had earned hundreds of thousands. How could this kid make so much money just by staying at Hua Xia University? Yes, he and Mu Xiaowu and Wang Laosan
What kind of Transformers are they doing? I heard it caused a sensation in the United States... People must die! How come I haven't encountered such a good thing!
Of course, Ye Jinsheng is just envious. He studied music abroad, so he might not be able to make toy models.
"Liu Lang, I'm not short of money. Although the tape sales did not meet expectations, it still made me a lot of money... It's those southerners who are responsible for pirated tapes. It's so hateful!"
Ye Jinsheng said bitterly.
"Brother Ye, the country's legal system is not perfect now, and there is nothing we can do about it!"
Southerners are world-famous for their piracy. Not to mention Jingsheng Company, the world's biggest brands like Nike have no choice but to suffer dumb losses.
Liu Lang secretly said.
"Yes! The country's legal system is too imperfect, especially the patent law. The country has just passed it. Our country is far behind foreign countries in this regard!"
Ye Jinsheng sighed.
"Brother Ye, our country has just reformed and opened up. The most important thing to solve is the problem of people having enough food. In terms of entertainment, to be honest, there is still a long way to go. After all, everyone has no money. What can you do with this tape?
Selling more than 100,000 is already very good.
Our Mainland's entertainment industry has huge potential, but it still needs time. This is the current situation of the entertainment market. So I think if you want to engage in the entertainment industry, it is better to go to Hong Kong Island. Hong Kong Island, Macau and Bay Area have very good economies.
The entertainment industry is much more developed than in the mainland, and there are all kinds of entertainment programs everywhere. As long as you have good programs, I believe you will become famous!"
Liu Lang gave Ye Jinsheng an idea.
"Liu Lang, you are absolutely right. I came here this time just to talk about this matter with you. Although our tapes did not sell very well in the mainland, they caused quite a sensation in Hong Kong. The Shaw Group
They approached me and hoped that I could cooperate with them to release a record on Hong Kong Island!"
Ye Jinsheng said.
"Shaw!"
Of course Liu Lang knows about this company. The head of the company is Mr. Shao Yifu, who is as famous as the Huo family. The old man started in the film industry and owns his own TV station. He is the most famous media tycoon in Hong Kong Island, and this old man is also a patriot.
, there are buildings donated by him in various cities across the country. The high school teaching building in his previous life was called Kazuo Teaching Building.
"The boss of this Shaw Brothers Group is called Shao Yifu. He also has his own TV station in Hong Kong Island. He is very powerful. Moreover, the laws in Hong Kong Island are very sound and there will be no piracy. So I think it is good to cooperate with them!"
Ye Jinsheng continued.
"Brother Ye, of course it's good to cooperate with them, but this Shao Yifu is very stingy. Even if he can make money with these few songs, he won't make much money. When we cooperate with him, we have to come up with programs that even he can't think of.
Only in this way can we take the initiative!”
Liu Lang said.
Shao Yifu is very generous in his charity work, but he is extremely stingy towards those actors. For example, Liu Lang liked to watch Hong Kong TV series in his previous life, especially TVB under the Shaw Group. Although the setting is extremely simple, the plot is very attractive, many
The TV series caused a huge sensation in Hong Kong Island and created many stars. However, even if you become famous, you can only receive a salary to live in the Shaw Brothers Group. The income and fame are completely out of proportion. As a result, many stars left the company.
.
"Oh? Liu Lang, do you know Shao Yifu?"
Ye Jinsheng asked quickly.
"I don't know him, I just heard what others said!"
Liu Lang smiled.
"By the way, you know people from the Huo family. The Huo family and the Shao family are both wealthy people in Hong Kong... Liu Lang, you are right, but we only have these few songs, and nothing else.
If you already have capital, where can you find the capital to bargain with the other party?”
Ye Jinsheng shook his head and said.
"Brother Ye, what do you think is the best entertainment program in Hong Kong Island now?"
Liu Lang asked.
"The best show? Well, I went to Hong Kong Island for a while a few days ago. Their movies are very good. By the way, Shaw Brothers Group is the best in this area. There are many stars. What other beauty pageants are there?
What about the Academy Awards and so on? Their entertainment career is very mature!"
Ye Jinsheng replied.
"Yes, especially the Film Awards, which cause a huge sensation every time they are presented, and the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, which also attracts everyone's attention, so why don't you make a similar program? As long as your program
If it can attract attention, it can become capital for negotiations with Shaw Brothers!"
"Program? What program?"
Ye Jinsheng was interested as soon as he heard this. He knew that Liu Lang had many clever ideas.
