It's a pity that these two methods are like a burden to musicians in Hong Kong.
If the first method is realized, they will completely become soy saucers. At that time, they will have no choice but to rely on others, or be trapped in Xiangjiang and form a unified system.
But the second method is tantamount to luring the wolf into the house.
Nowadays, mainland pop music has developed so much. If it takes a few years, will there be any rivals in the entire Chinese-speaking area?
Everyone shudders when they think about the scene in Hong Kong being swept by mainland pop music.
"Xiao Sheng, this is not..."
Lei Youkun wanted to say something, but someone came in and whispered something in Xiao Qian's ear.
Xiao Qian said: "Everyone, I'm sorry, the time is up. The ceremony will start soon. Please go and watch the ceremony. I still have some things to be busy with, so I'll take my leave now."
Xiao Qian left, simply and neatly, not caring about the opinions of everyone in Xiangjiang.
This attitude says it all.
These are the two choices he left to the musicians in Hong Kong.
Musicians in Xiangjiang can only choose one of them. Or they can reject them all and go back to Xiangjiang to be trapped on an isolated island and wait for a slow death.
Xiao Qian, who had been reborn, had great confidence to do this.
In the previous life of Xiangjiang, after entering the new century, not only the movies were finished, but the music was also finished.
It only relies on one or two scattered singers to support it, and it still needs the acceptance of mainland fans.
Now whether the mainland market is open to them or not depends on Xiao Qian's thoughts, which will naturally choke their throats.
A group of people sat in silence for a long time, their faces as gloomy as the dark night outside the window.
But there is not much time left for them, and the matter must be resolved.
After a long time, Chen Tuan was the first to speak.
"Otherwise, let's choose the second option. Everyone's market territory is the same, and the competition is fair. By then, the outcome will not matter."
Among these people, Feitu Records is the most eager.
This record company was founded in 1986 by Ye Zhiming, Ye Yuqing's brother.
However, the development path of this record company has always been bumpy, and it has been losing money most of the time.
By 1994, Ye Zhiming announced his retirement, and Feitu Records also began to cease production.
In 1995, the top management of Feitu Group announced that former singer Liang Yanling would serve as chairman. However, this person had no leadership skills and announced his retirement in just over a year.
At the beginning of this year, Chen Tuan took over as chairman and has been seeking a new life for Feitu Records.
The person who has the most extravagant hopes for the mainland market is naturally him.
The fate of Feitu Records in the previous life would not improve until 1999.
Emperor Group acquired this ill-fated company and became the largest record company in Hong Kong, creating the final glory of Hong Kong music.
Chen Tuan at the end of 1996 naturally could not know his future destiny like Xiao Qian did.
Besides, even if you know, what does it have to do with him?
"Mr. Chen, how is this possible? If we open our market to the mainland, wouldn't we lose our foundation?"
Bai He was very worried, and he was also the most unwilling person.
Chen Tuan quarreled with him.
"Then what can we do? We can't let others enter our market while we need it, right? There's no such thing as doing business. Besides, don't you understand what Mr. Xiao means? People are looking at you.
Is it the market in Xiangjiang? They plan to use us as a springboard to expand overseas."
The scene became quiet again, and more people were lost in thought.
Chen Tuan's last words had the effect of clearing the air and making many people secretly feel ashamed.
Before, they had always thought that Xiao Qian had some ideas about the music market in Xiangjiang. They were afraid that Xiao Qian would capture Xiangjiang and cause them to lose their basic base.
Now after listening to Chen Tuan's words, everyone suddenly realized that Xiao Qian really had no need to covet the Xiangjiang market.
Although the output value of Xiangjiang's music market is now higher than that of the mainland, the gap is no longer very obvious. Moreover, everyone is aware of the growth rate of the mainland's pop music industry.
I believe it won’t take long to surpass Xiangjiang and leave it far behind, and there will be no problem at all.
The market in Xiangjiang is not out of production capacity, but in consumption.
In the past two years, the consumption of music products has been decreasing at a visible rate, which is the fundamental reason for the slump of the local music industry.
Why should Xiao Qian care about a market without spending power?
On the contrary, it seems more correct to use the convenience of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia as a base to dump music products overseas.
If that’s the case…
"Then I agree with the second option."
Lei Youkun changed very quickly. As long as he didn't feel threatened, he didn't care who came to Hong Kong to do business.
"you……"
Bai He hesitated to speak, and finally sighed and gave up.
In the face of the general trend, his persistence is meaningless. And he knows very well that even if this matter is reported to the top management of Universal Music, the capitalists will agree.
As long as we can get Universal Music to enter the mainland market, what does it matter if we sacrifice Hong Kong?
Huang Zhan is the quietest person, but looking at these profit-seeking businessmen, he really wants to vomit blood.
But as a musician, he can't change the situation even more.
Moreover, it is in the interests of most people to have access to the mainland market. If he does not agree, he will become a public enemy.
The only thing he can do is to strive for more benefits for his colleagues.
"I think we should add one more thing, that is, composers and lyricists from Hong Kong should also be allowed to enter the mainland to work."
This is very important to musicians like them, because after all it means an opportunity to make money, but for businessmen it is dispensable.
"No problem, I think this one is good."
"Teacher Huang cares about his colleagues. Everyone will be grateful to you."
Huang Zhan didn't feel any joy because he couldn't see clearly the road ahead.
"Let's go, let's go down and see what our colleagues from the mainland can do with the ceremony."
The group left the Peace Hotel, and a dedicated person led them into the scene.
Today's Marshal's Square is already crowded with people, and there is no time to leave.
Because Marshal Square is a long strip along the river, the layout of the award ceremony also followed the topography.
The main stage is on the right side of the Marshal's Statue, close to the river, and is separated by the Lover's Wall. On the side near the river is the audience seat, while on the other side are temporary tents.
Singers attending and preparing for performances will prepare here without being disturbed.
The auditorium has also been divided, and the part at the front, close to the stage, is where the singers sit.
The winning singer will go on stage from here and enjoy the glory that attracts everyone's attention.
At the back are seats for ordinary spectators, extending all the way back along the river, allowing them to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery of the water and light.
At the same time, this arrangement of the auditorium has other profound meanings.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the award ceremony begins.
The audience looked eagerly at the stage, fully expecting a host to appear, but what shocked them first was the exciting music melody.
The song is very familiar to everyone, it is "Shanghai Beach" which is popular all over the country.
At this time, everyone happened to be on the Bund. When hearing such music, they couldn't help but feel as if they were actually there.
It seems that the poignant love story of Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng will appear before everyone's eyes.
No, they really showed up.
The first audience to see it suddenly burst into earth-shattering cheers, and then the madness quickly swept through, causing the audience to become restless.
Everyone stood up and looked up in one direction.
It's not the main stage in front, but the cruise ship slowly approaching on the river to the side.
At the bow of the cruise ship, Shen Jue and Wen Yi were standing there.
Both of them are dressed in costumes from the Republic of China period, dreaming back to "Shanghai Beach", a classic reappearance.
Wen Yi stood in front, smiling openly, opening her arms, facing the blowing river wind, as if she was about to fly.
The tall and handsome Shen Jue stood behind her, his arms gently resting on her waist.
What a pair of gods and goddesses that make people's hearts enchanted!
As for whether a certain big-ship director would be heartbroken, Xiao Qian couldn't care.
Of course he designed this scene.
When he first built the stage for the awards ceremony, he thought of focusing on using the Huangpu River.
After all, Marshal's Square is too long and narrow. If it accommodates tens of thousands of spectators, the people behind it will hardly be able to see the stage clearly.
So he decided to use the river surface as well. There will be many singers performing on the yacht, trying to maximize the stage to the audience.
In addition, a large screen is also installed on the outer wall of the building on the left, which will broadcast the situation on the stage in real time.
With this kind of all-round care, even the audience at the back can feel fully involved.
The yacht gradually approached, and on the highest platform, Xu Mingxia, dressed in bright red, appeared, once again winning crazy cheers.
Although she only sang this one song, it was firmly engraved in the hearts of people across the country.
Today, it is most suitable to use her majestic song "Shanghai Bund" as the opening for a grand event held on the once turbulent Bund.
That is, Xiao Qian, the mother is helpless. If it were anyone else, she wouldn't be able to invite her.
Now it seems that the effect of this opening is not generally good.
When Xu Mingxia sang to the climax, the fireworks lurking on both sides of the Pujiang River burst into the sky, covering the sky and the earth with the most brilliant colors, and completely impressed all the audience.
