Xing Baohua waited for a while, and then Wang Weibao came over and said, "The other party is Luo Wen's manager, who belongs to Huaxing Records, and wants to cooperate with Ms. Zou."
He frowned, unable to recall Huaxing; all he knew were PolyGram, Warner, and Emperor Entertainment.
If you're not in the industry, or your knowledge is limited, it's normal that you haven't heard of it.
Wang Weibao explained to Xing Baohua about Huaxing Records, an old record company founded in the 1970s.
There are only two singers who can be considered successful live right now: Roman Tam and Liza Wang.
The most popular actor, Brother Zhang, is also under their wing, as is the young heartthrob, King Li.
You wouldn't believe it until you hear it!
This is a really impressive company. Why didn't Xing Baohua know about it? Did it disappear later? Or was it acquired by someone else?
These are not mentioned.
As things stand, this company has enormous potential.
Invite them over.
"Hey boss, Lei Hao!" He started speaking in Cantonese. If Xing Baohua hadn't worked in Huaqiangbei in his early years, he really wouldn't have understood Cantonese.
"When you come to the North, just speak Mandarin, okay, kid?" Xing Baohua's words were a bit domineering; he didn't want the other party's company sign to intimidate him. He wanted to give the other party the impression that he was someone you could ignore at any time.
"It's fine, it's fine. The boss knows me, he knows my name is Chicken."
Xing Baohua smiled slightly and said, "I don't know you. You're so thin, like a chick, so I called you Chick. I was going to call you Four-Eyes because you're wearing glasses."
“It’s all fine, it’s all fine. They used to call me Four-Eyes, and they added ‘Frog Boy’ after my name because I’m skinny.”
Xing Baohua thought to himself, "Wow, this kid's got some nerve! He's the kind of person who's incredibly outgoing, like a snake, give him a pole and he'll climb it."
After a brief chat, I learned that the other party wanted to sign Zou Wenjuan.
“Boss, I can sign him up for business in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. It won’t conflict with the mainland market.” Little Chick said, adjusting his glasses and looking at Xing Baohua’s expression.
"Let me think about this. There's no rush. We're from central Shandong. Do you know that place? Here's an address and phone number. Come visit us sometime for tea and see the superstar I've created."
Xing Baohua invited the other party to Luzhong so that they could see Zou Wenjuan's film and television materials and listen to the master tapes of the audio recordings.
A singer's value can only be reflected in terms of quality and visual appeal.
Besides, this isn't the place for negotiations.
The chaotic stadium felt awkward with people coming and going.
There's not much to talk about this year, and besides, the little chick's level is too low. Calling him Luo and Wang's agent is like calling him a high-level nanny at best.
The two sides agreed on a new time to conclude the talks.
"Would you sell me to Hong Kong?" Zou Wenjuan asked softly after everyone had left, leaving only her and Xing Baohua sitting on the chairs.
"Not for now. We'll just have them handle your record business. But don't ever say I sold you out, it makes me sound like a human trafficker," Xing Baohua said.
"Isn't that right?"
"Of course not! Contract transfer..." Xing Baohua couldn't make up any more excuses. The meaning was the same, but it wasn't about that at all.
"I'm very concerned about you transferring your contract. You're really not worth much right now, like a piglet in a sty, not fattened up yet. You can't fetch a good price, and I won't even be able to recoup my initial costs. If you want to sell, then wait until you become a true world-class superstar."
"You're the pig." She said, trying to pinch Xing Baohua with her little hand, but unfortunately, the guy was wearing too many layers because he was afraid of the cold.
The two's playful antics attracted considerable attention, and Zou Wenjuan is now somewhat famous. She certainly draws a lot of attention.
The fact that Xing Baohua casually put his arm around Zou Wenjuan's shoulder earlier suggests that their relationship is not ordinary.
On another TV station, Sister Wang, a top anchorwoman, asked Little Chicken, "Who's that handsome guy?!"
"She says he's her boss, but I bet he's some rich kid trying to promote her." Little Chick said, glancing at Xing Baohua.
This kind of thing is very common in Hong Kong. To promote someone, you not only need talent, but also money.
Everyone who gets to perform on the Spring Festival Gala is talented. That young singer just has a good voice. He met a rich and young guy, so it would be unfair if he didn't become famous.
Xing Baohua watched the rehearsal closely, wanting to see just how chaotic it would get.
Unfortunately, they were proceeding in an orderly manner, and there was no sign of any miscommunication!
Will problems arise on-site?
It was a bit strange, but Xing Baohua dared not say it!
Moreover, it's already afternoon, and it's not even dark yet, so the lighting tests and camera footage haven't been tested at all.
Xing Baohua also had a sharp eye and spotted the two wireless microphones.
Just two?
Xing Baohua thought that if they had used the wireless system they had developed with Li Wengang at that time, the results might have been amazing. How many wireless microphones were used in the auditorium back then?
Xing Baohua didn't pay any attention to the equipment situation at the time.
Xing Baohua configured the wireless receiver to have 8 ports, meaning it can support 8 microphones.
In such an open area of a stadium, the signal reception will be very strong.
Add wireless in-ear monitors?
There were no in-ear monitors back then! No wonder the on-site command was chaotic.
There will definitely be someone on-site directing and receiving all the director's orders.
The failure of this gala must have been due to a mistake made on set; otherwise, the director's coordination wouldn't have failed.
Okay, the party is indeed no longer Xing Baohua's business. This guy is thinking about whether to go back to Jinan Recording Factory and make a stage-level power amplifier system.
Zou Wenjuan should also hold live concerts in the future. She needs to prepare early, otherwise it would be ridiculous if something went wrong on stage.
