Coupled with the delay on the way back and forth, Yang Dongxu returned to Yanjing after a week of departure. Fu Dehai and Fu Decai, who returned to Hong Kong for business, also arrived in Yanjing.
This time they not only brought the new company to register, but also required Zhou Ya's signature. While resolving Zhou Ya's Hong Kong household registration, she brought the two singers over very efficiently.
Of course, there was also a batch of recording equipment accompanying him. When Yang Dongxu returned to Yanjing, the equipment was already being assembled in the packed house.
The house is a little far away from Wangfujing in Sanlitun. It is a big bar, but the location is a bit out of the way. The reason why we took it was because when it was first built, the bar owner went to Hong Kong to see the world, and he also had some money, so he built an underground recording studio and wanted to make music.
Not long after the bar was renovated, I don’t know where he found a way to immigrate to Hong Kong, so he took stock of his belongings and sold them all, and the family went to Hong Kong to live a capitalist life.
As the saying goes, someone gave him a pillow just as he fell asleep. Yang Dongxu felt that he had made a lot of money by getting this bar. Although the location is a bit out of the way, it is only two intersections away from the main street of Sanlitun. How can it be so far away?
What's more important is that all the renovations have been completed. He doesn't need to tinker with the same soundproof recording studio. At the same time, it can be opened at any time, and the price is not high when the homeowner is in a hurry to dispose of it. In the past year, fewer and fewer old items have been collected. Yang Dongxu hasn't missed something like this for a long time.
There are two singers, one male and one female. The male is Zhang Wen and the female is Wu Qi. Both of them have just debuted in their twenties. They are relatively well-known in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but they can still get three or five out of their hands. kind of.
Both of them have very good voices. Zhang Wen is delicate and lively, while Zhang Xinzhe has a good voice. Wu Qi's voice is hoarse and strong, much like Tian Zhen. Although he has a good voice, his appearance is a bit ugly.
If Zhang Wen's appearance is barely comparable to that of a young lady, Wu Qi's appearance is below average. However, this era is different from later generations. Talent is still slightly more important than appearance.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhao Chuan, Wu Bai and Yu Quan to become popular together, and they are still very popular. They are more popular than golden boys and girls like Cai Guoqing and Yang Yuying. Obviously people in this era still have some connotations, so Yang Dongxu can only think about the looks of the two people. No more demanding requirements.
"After the recording studio is set up, one person will record a song first to see the effect. If it can hit the charts, then the album will be released. However, when the album is released, it will still be one person per song. You can find someone to buy the other songs. I’m not participating.”
Although the recording equipment was not completely installed, it had no impact on the sound check. Just let two people sing a few lines a cappella. After listening to two people singing half a song each, Yang Dongxu turned to Fu Decai and said.
Although the basic conditions of these two people's voices are good, they do not meet Yang Dongxu's requirements. You must know that all the songs he can produce can be regarded as famous songs, so it would be a waste if all 10 songs in the album use such songs.
Therefore, two songs per person is enough. You can just spend money on other songs to make up the number. Yang Dongxu has no intention of making the two of them the kings and queens of singers.
But after all, they are the first batch of singers in the company, so it is not good to treat them too badly, and the company also needs to become famous instantly, so what Yang Dongxu needs is just their popularity. As for future development, it depends on whether the two of them can improve.
If you make progress, give more songs, if you don't make progress, then that's it. This arrangement seems a bit cold-blooded, a bit like using the perfect person to cross the river and burn the bridge.
But Yang Dongxu didn't think so. If the two people's voices were always at this level, it would be a waste to give them good songs. Besides, compared to those singers in the future who can sing one song and make a lifetime of money, Yang Dongxu is very generous by giving them two songs that can make a lifetime of money.
"Are the two songs missing?" Fu Decai frowned.
If what Yang Dongxu, a brat, said just now made Zhang Wen and Wu Qi look a little weird, like adults looking at a brat talking big words, Fu Decai's reaction made them dumbfounded.
You know that Fu Decai is the boss, why is he so polite to a child who speaks in an awkward manner? Could it be that this kid is the eldest son of some family and can't even afford to offend his own boss?
"The company belongs to him, I'm just a part-time worker, and he will be the company's chief producer from now on. Any songs that can be released and whoever wants to release an album must get his approval." Fu Decai seemed to have noticed that he had poached The two singers spoke up about what was on their minds.
Zhang Wen and Wu Qi were completely stunned this time and didn't know what to say. At the same time, a thought came to their minds, that is, is it too late to terminate the contract now?
The two of them were a little dissatisfied with coming to the mainland to record songs, but they still came because the contract offered by Fu Decai was quite large. But leaving their future to this little brat in front of them, both of them felt that Fude was crazy.
"When will the recording studio be installed?" Yang Dongxu asked Fu Decai regardless of the two people's expressions.
If two people have really good voices, Yang Dongxu might be more polite. After all, talented people should be arrogant. But the voices of the two people can only be said to be good, and Yang Dongxu has also read the contract. He naturally does not have much patience for these two singers who are obviously here for money and have the same meaning as making up the numbers.
"It will be done tomorrow. It will take a day to debug. If there are no problems the day after tomorrow, it can be used."
"Where's the sound engineer?" Although Yang Dongxu's musical literacy is not bad after several years of hard work, this is the first time he has seen these equipments and he obviously doesn't know how to use them. At the same time, he is a music producer, so there is no need to include the work of a sound engineer. Both.
"The sound engineer from Taiwan won't arrive until tomorrow, so it's a bit troublesome to go through the formalities, but this is a talent."
"Then you guys have a rest and try to record it the day after tomorrow when it's ready." Yang Dongxu nodded.
"The song?"
"I'll bring it to them tomorrow so they can get acquainted with it first." Yang Dongxu waved his hand and left the bar.
When they heard that it was Taiwanese professional recording engineers Zhang Wen and Wu Qi, their eyes lit up. Whether a song is good or not depends on the recording engineer. After all, what is recorded is all noise. No matter how good the song is, it will be ruined, right? The two looked at each other and suppressed the urge to turn around and leave.
Tomorrow, I will first find out who the sound engineer is. At the same time, I also want to see what this bratty kid in front of me is capable of, since he is so arrogant.
In the evening, a table was set up at the Yang Family Banquet and everyone from Fude Cai was invited. Anyway, the company was established. Although there were not many people at the beginning, we still wanted to invite everyone to a meal to celebrate.
After dinner, Zhang Wen, Wu Qi and some staff left first. Fu Dehai went to Wang Qiangguo's place to pick him up. In two days, engineers from Hong Kong came over to see if they could do a project.
So soon he and Fu Decai were the only two people left in the room.
"What's wrong? Things are not going well in the north?" Fu Decai looked at Yang Dongxu and asked.
Today, although Yang Dongxu looked normal all day long, there was nothing abnormal. But Wang Decai felt something was wrong with him, especially when he was talking to Zhang Wen and Wu Qi in the recording studio.
Usually Yang Dongxu is always laughing and joking, but he has never been so domineering, and he still doesn't explain. It was as if there was an unknown fire in my heart that I wanted to vent.
"It's okay in the north. I'm just a little angry. I'll be fine tomorrow if I have nothing to do." Yang Dongxu waved his hand.
He is not a mean person, on the contrary, he is also very talkative sometimes. Even if he was really prepared to give these two singers only two songs, he wouldn't express it as bluntly as he did today.
He Xuan has learned many things over the years about emotional control. Especially when you don’t like someone, you must make him feel that you are good to him, not that you are hostile to him, even if you are behind your back in the end. If you cheat on him, he will still be grateful for your psychological control. In fact, he is still a bit hot-tempered.
The only reason why I am angry is because there is news about mobile phones. The country does pay attention to this area, but it is only prepared to move forward steadily. In other words, the country has no intention of introducing foreign investment, or it has not paid special attention to this industry. I don’t want to develop vigorously.
But if you don’t want to develop vigorously, can you give me a chance to fund development? Sorry, no!
It was this kind of thing that made Yang Dongxu angry. So after reading the contracts signed by the two singers and looking at their conditions, he burst out with an unknown fire that he couldn't control.
"You don't just want to have fun with Haina Records, right?" Fu Decai hesitated and asked.
"Why do you think so?" Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of the few investors who had always made money and left with one vote, and smiled and shook his head: "This is a big industry with good prospects. I want to be in this industry." It’s too late for the boss, how could he just leave for fun?”
After speaking, Yang Dongxu glanced at Fu Decai thoughtfully. This man with long hair, who usually didn't talk much and looked a bit enchanting, had a delicate mind that no one else had, and he actually did some research on his past. And it's a bit interesting to say it directly like this.
"That's good. Compared with my eldest brother's overseas investments and the real estate that my second brother is optimistic about, I'm actually very interested in the record company, so I plan to do it as a career. I'm relieved if you say that."
"Don't worry, everything I did in the past was just for making money. Even if I wanted to make it big, the threshold was too low and there was nothing to do. Haina Records is different. You should think about how to recruit more professional talents. Yang Dong smiled to reassure Fu Decai.
"I've been preparing for these things during this time. It's easy to find other talents. Even singers are easy to find. If you can't find it, you can go to school for an audition, but good lyricists and composers are so in demand." Fu Decai sighed. tone
At first, he didn't step into the industry, so he just stood there and watched and felt nothing. After entering, he realized that the competition in the seemingly calm recording industry turned out to be so fierce.
"If famous singers are money trees, then record companies are the ones who plant the trees. But how to make the trees grow and bear fruit, the songwriters are the key. It is naturally difficult to dig out hens that can lay golden eggs. .By the way, what happened to the information I asked you to collect?"
"It's kept in the hotel. I'll bring it to you tomorrow. But is it useful for you to filter it like this?"
