"I insist on getting this little baby!"
This was Zhou Yiren's evaluation of the great man he brought back to Yang Dongxu, and he was so excited that he almost went to heaven.
"Is there any bonus?" Yang Dongxu, whose face was red with excitement, asked.
Um...Okay, I got carried away with my pride. When I saw the unkind look in my godfather's eyes, Yang Dongxu turned around and ran away.
Seeing Yang Dongxu shrinking his head, Zhou Yiren finally showed a smile. No matter what, it really made him happy that this was his grandson.
Yang Dongxu was completely relieved after getting what he wanted. He went to Old Man Xuan's place to practice martial arts in the morning and ate three meals a day there. Although Old Man Xuan is a good talker, every meal he prepares is really delicious and extremely nutritious.
A week later, Fude rushed into the courtyard excitedly waving newspapers. There were newspapers in Chinese, traditional Chinese, Taiwanese, Hong Kong, and even Japanese and American.
In short, in current terms, Haina Records launched a satellite and instantly became the focus of the country. In the mainland where there are no major record companies, it has become the leading record company. Even in Hong Kong and Taiwan, its popularity is scary. .
"One million boxes, one million boxes of sales per week. Recently, many companies have contacted us and want Wu Qi and Zhang Wen to perform in commercials." Fu Decai was frothing, as if he couldn't do it otherwise. Express your inner excitement.
Yang Dongxu was overjoyed when he heard about the sales volume and influence. He didn't expect that the original self-protection measure would unintentionally make Haina Records an instant hit.
"Is it easy to dig people now?" Yang Dongxu crossed his legs and swayed on the back of the chair.
"Still poaching people? There are so many letters of recommendation or door-to-door interviews that the company's doors are almost packed. There are also some well-known singers and celebrities who want to make a singing appointment with us." Fu Decai also sat on the chair. Yiliu means to point out the country. At this time, he is as high-spirited as a spring breeze and a horse's hooves are rushing.
Think about it. A week ago, in order to find a new talent with good talent, in order to find a more famous songwriter and songwriter, I went everywhere begging my grandfather to sue my grandmother. Now look at the crowd of people coming over to let me choose at will. This life Ah, it's simply not too good.
"Then take the opportunity to dig up some movies. TV drama directors and so on can come over, as well as actors."
"Director of movies and TV shows? Why do you need that? If you are making music videos, there are directors who specialize in this field. Although they are all shooting things, they are not the same type after all. The gap is a bit big." Fu Decai looked at it in confusion. Yang Dongxu.
"Who said I was going to make a music video? I want to make TV series and movies." Yang Dongxu curled his lips.
"Brother, please stop making trouble." Fu Decai looked at Yang Dongxu dumbfounded.
What kind of trouble are you trying to make? If you don't take advantage of the popularity of "My Motherland" to celebrate the new talents chosen by the company and release a few more albums while the iron is hot, what's the point of filming TV series and movies?
"If we want to become a big company, we need to develop music, movies, and TV series. Only in this way can Haina Records become bigger and bigger." Yang Dongxu explained.
"Then there's no need to rush, right?" Fu Decai was obviously not that easy to fool.
There are indeed many stars in the entertainment industry who are versatile. Those who are good at singing go to act in movies and TV series. Although there are fewer, there are still a few. It is indeed more stable to walk with multiple legs. But what Heiner Records ultimately wants now is a song album. After all, they are a record company, not a film and television company.
"Let's prepare first. Now that "My Motherland" is a big hit, and since there are many commercial performances, let Wu Qi and Zhang Wenduo run around. Half of the album has been recorded, and pushing the remaining half will not have much impact. .
Newcomers who are screened must undergo training for a period of time, right? So we need to have training teachers, right? Since they are all singers, they must have a manager, right? Anyway, my opinion is not to rush forward, but to use the fire to stabilize things first. "
The reason why "My Motherland" became a big hit has to do with the social environment, or in other words, with the nation's patriotic complex. Therefore, the popularity of this album does not mean that Heiner Records is superior. It can only be said that it has grasped the pulse of the times.
This experience of having to do everything by himself completely exhausted Yang Dongxu. He clearly realized that a good record company is not just about having a good producer. Professional talents are needed in various departments and positions. He does not want to have such an experience again.
So compared to Fude Cai who wants to strike while the iron is hot, Yang Dongxu is more concerned about the company's basic construction and has fully reserved the talents that should be reserved. He has so many classic and old songs in his hand, is he still worried that the new album will not be popular?
Yang Dongxu's words calmed down the excited Fu Decai. Although he had been so excited these days and didn't feel too tired, he was still a bit anxious. He had to take care of everything in the company, big or small. Just as Yang Dongxu said, Zhang Wenhe Wu Qi is very popular now, but he doesn’t even have an agent yet.
"Okay, I know what you mean." Fu Decai nodded and couldn't help but look at Yang Dongxu a few more times. This little boy is so calm, even calmer than an adult like him. It feels like two people are the same age. Same as turning it around.
Isn't it a bit monstrous to be so considerate in such a small matter? Is Master Xuan's training skills really so superb? Should I go home and beg the old man to ask for a favor and learn something from Master Xuan?
However, although he agrees with Yang Dongxu's laying a solid foundation, it does not mean that Fude will fully accept Yang Dongxu's opinion: "Do those film and television directors really want to poach them?"
"I have to dig it up. I recently wrote a script. How can I shoot it without a director?" Yang Dongxu said.
"Script?" Fu Decai looked stunned.
"What's that expression on your face? After all, I also graduated from the Chinese Theater Screenwriting Department, okay? But according to normal time, I have studied for more than three years. I will graduate in less than one year. I have studied for three years. Are you having trouble writing a script for the new year?" Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes, stood up and walked to the back room, and when he came out, he really had a script in his hand.
"The New Legend of White Snake" is Yang Dongxu's new drama. Since the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" can't catch up and has already started filming, I can't get involved, but you can't miss this classic.
What's more important is that "The Legend of the New White Snake" is not a newly written new drama. It is based on "The Legend of Leifeng Pagoda" by the owner of Yushan and "The Legend of the White Snake" by the owner of the Menghua Pavilion.
Yang Dongxu had read both of these books. When he was studying at China National Theater Academy, Yang Dongxu had plans to make this drama, so he asked his teacher for advice on how to write a script for a mythological drama.
The teacher did not doubt it. After all, a half-year-old boy like Yang Dongxu was still ignorant about love and love, but he was very curious about weird myths, so he recommended several mythology books to him, such as "The Legend of Leifeng Pagoda" and "The Legend of White Snake" is one of them.
A completely new script is a little too out of the ordinary for Yang Dongxu's age, but if he adapts it from the blueprint, although it is still very conspicuous for his age, it will not appear shocking.
"Mythological drama, Huangmei tune?" After taking a look at the table of contents of the script, Fudecai felt that it was even more unreliable. What kind of stuff is this? There are all gods in mythological dramas, right? It's totally wrong for you to ask gods to sing opera. Besides, does Yang Dongxu, a 13-year-old kid, know what Huangmei Opera is?
"I'm going to invest 1 million first. If it's not enough, I'll add more. I'll make a list of actors for you later. Once you've found them all, I don't know the director very well. Please ask about the director from Hong Kong and Taiwan who is better at making such TV series. Hire him. , or cooperation." Yang Dongxu said as if he didn't hear Fu Decai's words.
Copying old scripts is such a hassle. Yang Dongxu knows who the actors are, but few people who watch TV remember who the director is. With the Internet being so developed in later generations, there are not many directors the audience knows, let alone now.
"Really want to shoot?"
"Do you think I'm joking? If you're afraid that the investment money will be wasted, then be more serious and find a director." Yang Dongxu looked at Fu Decai and said that he was not joking.
Of course he wouldn't joke. Film and television will be the most important part of Yang Dongxu's business empire in the future, and he must start laying the foundation now. After "The Legend of White Snake" comes out, Yang Dongxu is preparing to film "The Legend of the Gods".
These are all classics, and they are all boss myths. Just adapt them based on the plots of the TV series in your memory. If you can’t remember some of the plots, just read the book, so that you can complete the script.
With these two classics as a foundation, Yang Dongxu can enter the film industry and put the classic movies of later generations on the screen. If he signs all the four kings and first-class stars into his company, he can hold an annual meeting or get married in the future. , people from the entire entertainment industry came over, I was a little excited just thinking about it.
When heavy snow once again covered the city of Yanjing, the bell of 1987 was approaching.
Yang Dongxu didn't know how the quietly rotating whirlpool finally stopped a few months ago, and Zhou Yiren didn't tell him. However, for a few days, Yanjing City was almost under martial law. Yang Dongxu felt the tension in the atmosphere.
But this kind of martial law lasted for two days, and then it seemed as if nothing happened. The leaders above were still the same leaders, no less, no change. All walks of life were still calm. What should I do? What should I do? Everything seemed to be okay. No change.
But it is not without impact. For example, the Sino-Portuguese negotiation process on Macau suddenly accelerated. The Portuguese side was originally wrangling, but China had to relax due to China's firm attitude. A specific statement was signed to determine the time for Macau's return.
This year Yang Dongxu did not go home to celebrate the New Year. Instead, he went home and stayed for a while. After constant persuasion, he brought his parents, sister, and younger sister to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year.
Yang Dongxu had never been to Yanjing before his rebirth, and his parents had never been. Now he has the conditions, although he has never thought about letting his family settle in Yanjing, so as not to enjoy the treatment of "feeding the people into mist" in future generations.
But since we have the conditions, we should let our parents see the heart of the motherland, right? Don't forget that after working hard all your life as a Chinese, it would be a pity if you have never been to ** Square or seen the flag being raised.
