Li Jianhui was not bragging to Lei Juekun. On Monday morning, Li Jianhui made a special trip to Jiayi Building and personally held a high-level meeting of the group.
In addition to the senior management of the group, Hua Tsai, Wang Jie, and Ye Qianwen also attended the meeting.
At the meeting, Li Jianhui said: "I believe everyone is aware of the situation of yesterday's music festival. This result is completely inconsistent with the status of our Jiayi Group in Hong Kong.
Although I have not had any hard requirements for Jiayi Group for more than a year, our management cannot just muddle along because of this.
We at Jiayi Group have no shortage of resources. We have the platform of IKEA convenience stores, which allows our records to easily enter multiple markets.
There is also no shortage of outstanding talents. Why does this happen? I hope our senior management will reflect on it.
…”
Since acquiring Jiayi Group, this is the first time Li Jianhui has said such serious words in the conference room. He is quite dissatisfied with some of Jiayi Group's achievements.
Except for the few he mentioned in the movie, none of them can compete with Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers at the same time.
Music companies are not much better here. Mandarin can still earn some face, but Cantonese is still far behind PolyGram, Huaxing and others in the same period.
TV dramas are also often crushed by TVB, which means that news programs and variety shows can suppress other channels.
Today's Jiayi is typically big but not strong. Everything is okay, but there is a big gap between it and these top players.
Li Jianhui doesn't care about the determination of these senior executives. What he wants is results. If there is still no big improvement this year, then next year these senior executives will also make changes.
At the same time, Li Jianhui said at the meeting: "In order to compete with other groups, Jiayi focuses on cultivating several superstars who can develop in both film, television and singing.
Hua Tsai, Wang Jie, and Ye Qianwen received key training and enjoyed the same treatment in film and television as Miao Qiaowei, Tang Zhenye, Liu Songren, Michelle Michelle, Brigitte Lin, Zhong Chuhong, Jing Daiyin, Chen Miner and others.
In terms of music, the three of them will become the top resources of the enjoyment company, allowing the three of them to become the face of our Jiayi in the music world, especially against the representatives of the two major companies, PolyGram and China Star."
Li Jianhui's request made the senior management present feel confused. They knew that Hua Tsai's talent was not top-notch. If he wanted to compare with those top-level talents, he would not be able to do it in a short time.
Wang Jie and Ye Qianwen are both newcomers. Although their talents are indeed good, they have not released a single record, so they have to become the front line of Jiayi Group to compete with Xu Guanjie, Tan Yonglin, Chen Baiqiang, Ye Liyi, Luo Wen, Zeng Ni and others. This
It seems like there is something to be said for striking an egg against a stone.
Li Jianhui was quite dissatisfied with the excuses he gave for not doing what he said. He said angrily: "I don't want to hear your excuses. If you feel that you are not capable of leading the company and the group, you can resign now.
Our Jiayi Group is not a nursing home, and we do not lack management personnel. If someone feels that it can't be done, then don't occupy the position and let those who are capable of it come."
Li Jianhui, who basically didn't care much about Jiayi Group, found that the atmosphere of Jiayi Group's management had gone bad and they would find reasons to shirk responsibility for everything.
He felt that it was necessary to crack down on this trend, and those managers who wanted to hang around in it were resolutely cleared out.
In terms of specific support for Andy and the other three, Li Jianhui also made requirements. This year, each of the three will release at least one album, appear in at least three movies, and appear in at least one TV series.
After the meeting, Li Jianhui deliberately kept the three of them, Andy and Luo Dayou, the deputy general manager of the music company.
As a fan of Wang Jie in his previous life, Li Jianhui is very familiar with many of Wang Jie's famous songs. In his previous life, he often sang Wang Jie's songs at KTV.
In order to make Wang Jie famous as soon as possible, Li Jianhui specially produced several masterpieces of Wang Jie's previous life, this time mainly Cantonese songs.
Who knew that the prodigal heart, the crime of not being romantic, blocked my life, wrote the lyrics of these three songs, and Li Jianhui sang them a cappella. Although the emotional aspect was not very good, it still surprised several people present.
"Jie Zai, you can think about these three songs by yourself. As for the arrangement, if you can do it yourself, if you have any difficulty, contact the company's staff for help. As for whether to put them in one album or separate them, that's up to you.
Decide."
Luo Dayou was a little envious of this kid. He thought about how he was treated so well when he just debuted. He had to work hard on his own.
And this person enjoys superstar treatment after joining Jiayi Group, and even the boss of the title song has personally prepared it.
As a musician, he can naturally feel the quality of these songs. As long as Wang Jie can sing emotions and even empathize with them, he will definitely become popular in Hong Kong.
On Andy's side, Li Jianhui listens more to Mandarin songs, Forgetting Water, Stupid Child, God's Will, Bingyu, etc.
He only remembered one Cantonese song. When he was 17 years old, Li Jianhui also wrote this song down.
Ye Qianwen had a casual walk around at 0:10, and Li Jianhui was not sure about the others either.
Although I listened to a lot of songs in my previous life, I mainly listened to famous songs by Wang Jie, Hua Tsai, Zhang Xinzhe, Lin Zhixuan, **, Liu Zhe and others.
Especially in KTV, Wang Jie’s famous songs are bound to be sung, and the Mandarin version of “Tears of a Hero” is a must-sing every time.
On the contrary, Li Jianhui does not remember many of the representative works of actresses such as Xiangjiang, and Mui Yanfang's Song of the Sunset, Woman's Flower, Priscilla Chan's Thousand Que Songs, Zhou Huimin's Infatuation for True Love, etc.
There were also some songs that he had heard the names of, but could no longer recall completely, such as Liu Xiaohui's First Love.
However, Li Jianhui has remembered these talents. As long as they participate in Jiayi Group's variety shows or enter Jiayi artist training classes, as long as Li Jianhui knows about them, he will not let their talents be buried.
When Li Jianhui was about to leave, he said to Andy and the others: "I hope you can work hard to improve your abilities. Jiayi Group, especially Jiayi, will rely on you to support the Hong Kong music scene in the next twenty years.
I dare not say much, but as long as you have the ability, your various resources and channels will definitely be no worse than any superstar in Hong Kong.
The 1980s was an era when all the heroes came together in the Hong Kong film and television entertainment industry. It was an era for our fine art, and it was also your era. I hope that in twenty, thirty, fifty years, the Hong Kong music scene in the 1980s will have your legend.
When people in the future mention the Hong Kong superstars of the 1980s, when they confer kings, queens, or gods, your names will be in them."
Li Jianhui still didn't believe it. With his plug-in and the support of the huge Jiayi Group and Xinjian Department, these few could not compare to the three kings and one queen.
Especially Wang Jie, who debuted seven years earlier than in his previous life. Now that he has so many resources and is joining the Jiayi Group, unlike the music company in Baodao in his previous life, his status in Hong Kong will definitely soar.
With so many resources to cultivate, how could Ye Qianwen be able to compete with Mei and Chen?
You must know that Mei has just joined the Far East Film and Television Media Group. As for Princess Chen, she has not made her debut yet.
Li Jianhui also told Luo Dayou that the company should change its direction this year and focus on the development of Cantonese songs.
The current general manager Li Jianhui plans to be transferred to Jiashi as deputy general manager, and Luo Dayou will take over as general manager.
