While Li Guangyu was busy with the stock market, the music scene in Xiangjiang was not at peace either. Especially since the 1980s, the competition between Jiayi Records and PolyGram has become fierce. The dispute between Tan and Zhang in Xiangjiang is just a microcosm. In Japan
, both companies have launched fierce competition in the United States and London, where PolyGram has its old slot.
Especially Jiayi Records, taking advantage of the fact that the Li Group was not short of money, was poaching PolyGram's talents everywhere, which made PolyGram's executives very angry.
Especially in Xiangjiang, Jiayi Records relies on the strength of the group to prevent PolyGram from taking any advantage here, and the suppression of PolyGram in Xiangjiang has never stopped.
Especially for Leslie Cheung, PolyGram’s current top brother, every time he releases a new album, Jiayi Records will immediately follow up to suppress PolyGram’s momentum.
On the contrary, the first sister, Teresa Teng, is a little better. She has good cooperation with some groups under the Li Group and has not been specially targeted by Jiayi Records.
Just this July, Leslie Cheung had just announced the release of his new album on the 8th, and Jiayi Records immediately announced that it would release Alan Tam's new solo album on the same day. Jiayi Group made it clear that they wanted to compete with PolyGram
, to suppress the momentum of PolyGram in Hong Kong.
The general manager of PolyGram Xiangjiang also received an order from the headquarters to withstand the firepower of Jiayi Records in Xiangjiang and drag Jiayi Records to Xiangjiang to prevent them from cannibalizing them in other areas after taking advantage here.
market.
When Li Guangyu met with Elani Herrington, in the conference room of Jiayi Records in the building, Jiayi Records executives were holding a meeting. The content of the discussion was about the issue of Alan Tam's record release and Polygram.
News about Leslie Cheung.
After listening to the report from Distribution Manager Cao Xiaolin, record company chairman Liang Yajuan was very satisfied with the results. Within a week, Xiangjiang achieved double platinum sales, which is already a pretty good result.
For PolyGram, her current important rival, Liang Yajuan does not have the slightest contempt. This time Alan Tam has achieved excellent sales, which is not much less than Alan Tam there. He has also achieved double platinum sales. She has to think about it in the short term.
It is not realistic yet for PolyGram to be completely suppressed.
Liang Yajuan asked Deng Jialian, the manager of the administrative department: Xiaolian, when was Chen Baiqiang's record not completed?
These senior executives knew that this time the chairman was going to fight two against one again. Not only did Chen Baiqiang join Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung in the music world, he was one of the three new generation music kings in Hong Kong. Due to the hit movie A Hero, he also became a star in the film and television industry.
He has become famous and has greater influence than these two in some aspects.
Deng Jialian replied: Ms. Liang, it is estimated that Chen Baiqiang will not be able to complete the production and distribution of the record until August. During this time, it will not be able to keep up with the competition with PolyGram.
After the meeting, Liang Yajuan went to the group. She needed to report the current situation to Le Yiling. At the same time, she asked the group to increase the promotion of Alan Tam so that the sales of his album could achieve better results.
Le Yiling is now another influential figure in the Li Group, overshadowing most others. This talented person joined Jiayi TV Station at the age of 17. She was just an assistant director at first. After the Li Group took over Jiayi Group
, the position was quickly promoted.
The reason why she became a popular figure within the Li Group was not because of how quickly she rose to the position. There were many senior executives in the Li Group who were faster than her, but because she was too young.
Although the Lee Group has no shortage of young executives, and there are currently very few managers above the age of vice president who are over 30 years old, at the age of 22, Le Yiling took over the position of Jiayi Group, a listed company with a market value of more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars.
The vice president of the group still surprises many people.
However, the senior management of Li Group will not doubt her ability. Under her leadership, Jiayi Artist Management Company has developed quite well, providing Jiayi Group with enough development talents. At the same time, the company has also achieved very good results.
profit.
At the beginning of the month, Le Yiling also officially resigned from the position of chairman of the artist management company and took a position at the headquarters. She was mainly responsible for the affairs of the artist management company and the record company.
After listening to the report, Le Yiling said to Liang Yajuan: Your company should not be impatient. The competition with PolyGram cannot be decided in a day or two. We will slowly stabilize our market and at the same time pay more attention to cultivating some new people.
, so that we can take the initiative.
At the same time, Le Yiling also told Liang Yajuan that Jiayi Group would join forces with Xiangyu Group to build momentum for Alan Tam, increase his influence, and promote the sales of Alan Tam's records in Southeast Asia and Japan.
At the same time, he also asked Liang Yajuan if she had any news about the new people Li Guangyu asked her to find.
Liang Yajuan said: Jacky Cheung is currently at our record company, and Andy Lau is at Jiayi TV. There is not much news about other staff yet, so Li Sheng gave us a list, and there are no other home addresses or anyone related to us.
It's not easy to find either.
Liang Yajuan sometimes feels speechless. Li Sheng just gives him a name and then doesn't care about anything else. When she thinks it might be this person, she has to find Li Sheng to confirm and then increase resources for training.
Le Yiling said: There is a new guy at Baodao Records, brought in by Li Zongsheng, named Zhou Huajian. He is probably the talent Li Sheng asked you to find. How did you arrange it?
Speaking of this person, Liang Yajuan even felt that Li Guangyu was a little unreliable sometimes and asked them to find talents in Xiangjiang, but in the end they were all over there in Baodao.
Liang Yajuan said: Miss Le, we will temporarily train him in Baodao over there. After two years, we will let him return to Xiangjiang to develop, just so that he can learn more from Li Zongsheng and Luo Dayou.
Le Yiling didn't have any objections to this arrangement and said to Liang Yajuan: Your company can't just focus on the people Li Sheng pointed out. It also needs to dig out some new people. The cooperation with the TV station cannot be interrupted. The singers there
There are still some outstanding talents in this type of program. At the same time, we can cooperate with ATV. They have a lot of music programs now. They have some good resources, and PolyGram cannot take them all away. From Leslie Cheung to PolyGram, they are ours.
A big loss.
Who can be blamed for this problem? Li Sheng has never paid much attention to the development of Jiayi Group. He has left it to himself and others to deal with. Nowadays, they are still poached by Li Sheng. If it were not for PolyGram this time, he would have
Others went to see Li Guangyu and asked him to point out some talents for the company. I was afraid that there would be no such list. Li Sheng didn't care whether Jiayi could make money, as long as it was influential.
Liang Yajuan said: Miss Le, we will make arrangements and try our best to reserve more talents for the company. I also hope you can talk to Li Sheng more and ask him to give more suggestions to our record company, so that we can get Baoli as soon as possible.
Golden shoulder to shoulder.
Le Yiling said: "You really think that I can see Li Sheng every day. Now let alone me, Liu Sheng cannot see Li Sheng every day. Don't put too much expectations on this."
