In the 1980s, a brokerage system gradually emerged in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and later there were also professional brokerage companies.

Previously, TV stations, film companies, and record companies played this role. For example, if an artist had an event, the company would send a staff member to accompany him. This person was often fixed, and over time, he became the artist's official manager.

This is the function of this staff member of Rolling Stone Records. When he heard the other party's provocation, he naturally had to protect Luo Dayou and said: "You have gone too far! We have nothing to talk about, please leave!"

"You're a little noisy."

Chen Qi waved his hand, and Xiao Mo strode forward. The other person was even more trembling, "I'm going to sacrifice for the party and the country today! Bah!"

Xiao Mo was so disgusted that he grabbed him and carried him directly outside the door. You should follow the committee and write a diary. Everything is competing and full of vitality! As soon as the door was closed, there were only two people left in the room.

".."

Luo Dayou's face was extremely dark. First, he hated this kind of "barbaric behavior". Second, he didn't want to open any pot.

After he released "Zhi Hu Zhe Ye" last year, he held a concert at the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall in Taiwan. The next day, the Information Bureau issued an official letter clearly listing three items: Luo Dayou is not allowed to perform here in the future.

None of the Rolling Stones singers were allowed to perform here.

Any rock concerts are not allowed to be performed here.

Taiwan officials hated him very much and regarded him as a scourge. Luo Dayou was very unhappy when he was poked. He said coldly: "Are you going to force me to cooperate with you? According to your opinion, the environment in mainland China is more free and tolerant than in Taiwan. I can sing in mainland

?”

"No, you will still be banned."

"Then what are you talking to me about? What are you doing here?" Luo Dayou started to get angry. "Calm down, I'm here to discuss business with you."

Chen Qi waved his hand and said with a smile: "I know you don't want to contact me, but you can't help it now. Just listen first. First of all, you can't deny the relationship between music and money. You can't ignore the sales of records, break away from the market, and focus on it.

Your art.”

"snort!"

Luo Dayou snorted again, but didn't say anything.

"Zhi Hu Zhe Ye" was completed with great difficulty through Sylvia Chang's begging for help, and now he is signed to Rolling Stone, which takes a fancy to him. This year, he released his second album "Future Master", and fortunately the sales are good.

"I am actually providing you with additional job opportunities. I may not do it right away, but I hope we can reach a consensus. I have a way to circumvent Taiwan's political censorship, so you don't have to worry about writing songs for me.

And I support you to come to Hong Kong for development.

It is your first time coming to Hong Kong and you are not familiar with the rules here. Let me tell you something: Hong Kong has a special songwriters association to protect the interests of musicians and share royalties." "Royalty?"

Luo Dayou raised his head.

"You write a song, give it to the Songwriters Association for management, give them 20% of the fee, and they collect the money for you. For example, if a radio station or TV station uses your song, no matter what form it is, as long as it uses your song,

No matter how many times and for how long you use it, you will be paid according to the standard.

If you don't pay, the association will help you with the lawsuit and you don't have to worry about anything." This association was established in 1977.

Although Hong Kong is terrible, there are some things that are really good. For example, Gu Jiahui can still receive 200,000 yuan in royalties every year after retirement. "Taiwan doesn't have this!"

Luo Dayou said unconsciously.

"Of course not in Taiwan. The environment there is so bad that musicians are helpless. Hong Kong's creative freedom and interests are relatively guaranteed. You can get a bigger stage. If you come to Hong Kong, I can invest in you to set up your own music factory.

Card.

The originality here is average. Many people cover Japanese songs. The Chinese still have to create Chinese songs." "Chinese people create Chinese songs..."

Luo Dayou did not refute this sentence and looked at him.

The other party’s intention was clear: he would allow himself to write songs for him and ensure safety. At the same time, he hoped to come to Hong Kong for development, and the conditions he offered were very generous. “Mr. Chen, you don’t look like a mainlander.”

"Have you met mainlanders?"

"No, I don't think you are like that. Your behavior is a bit barbaric, but you do look like a businessman. I am not so noble that I don't want to live with fireworks. I may get into trouble in the future, but so far, I am still willing to stay in Taiwan.

Thank you for your kindness."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you understand what I mean."

Chen Qi looked at the time and saw that there was another guest to talk to, so he stood up and said, "Okay, I won't interrupt anymore. I hope we can cooperate as soon as possible." Luo Dayou stared at his outstretched hand and shook it quickly.

.

When Chen Qi went out, a few seconds later, people from Rolling Stone Records rolled in again, quite embarrassed: "What did he tell you? What did he tell you?" "Were you beaten?"

"No, but that guy is too strong and I can't move at all...What on earth did he tell you?" "He persuaded me to cooperate with him, but I said I don't want to do it for the time being."

Luo Dayou didn't mention anything else, and he had no shortage of ideas.

But the other party was very dissatisfied and shouted: "Is it temporary? You should say it is absolutely impossible! The Information Bureau is very angry with you. If they find out that you have contact with people from mainland China, they will ban you in minutes!"

".."

Luo Dayou hated this kind of rhetoric, and the other party kept beeping: "These Arab Communists are the most cunning, and I am most afraid that we will be fished for. If we meet today, and tomorrow they will expose it to the Hong Kong media, asking us to force the Communist Party, then it will be abolished."

!”

"Okay, okay, I still need to rest. I was woken up from my sleep just now. Call me when the time comes!"

He drove the other party away and lay down on the bed, but he couldn't fall asleep. He simply called Huang Ting again and asked about royalties and the Songwriters Association. Huang Zhan gave a positive answer.

“Is the environment for Hong Kong musicians so good?”

He was a little surprised and confused. Why do you do cover songs in such a good environment? What a waste. Fei Xiang is really handsome.

In his early 20s, with a height of 191cm, a mixed-race face, and big white teeth, even if he is not Prince Charming, he is on the wrong track.

When they were young, Fei Xiang and Zun Long were the two most handsome men in the Chinese-speaking area. Zun Long had a more feminine temperament, while Fei Xiang was tall, tall, and handsome.

At this time in the hotel, Fei Xiang also received a call from "Chen Qi from Oriental Company", asking him to go downstairs for a chat alone. He was very calm because he was an American and had a mother who spoke with a Beijing accent.

I am not afraid of the mainland.

He had watched Eastern Company's movies in Singapore and Malaysia and was deeply impressed.

The same situation as Luo Dayou, a staff member from Taiwan's EMI accompanied him here, and he was still resting in the next room. Fei Xiang thought about it, wrote a note and stuck it under the door, saying that he would go downstairs to have something to drink.

.

When I got downstairs, I saw a young man coming to greet me.

"Mr. Chen?"

"Sorry for disturbing you."

Chen Qi, who was a head shorter than him, shook hands, looked around, and praised: "I have seen a lot of handsome guys, but one as handsome as you is really rare." "Thank you, you are so flattering!"

Fei Xiang studied in the United States and was very accustomed to this kind of familiar communication, but he was a little embarrassed when the other party complimented him so much.

The two of them found a booth, and Chen Qi sat down and said the same thing to Luo Dayou: "A friend of mine at ATV invited you over, so I wanted to pay him a visit. I heard your "Lander" and it was great.

"

"I'm honored that it's rare for someone in Hong Kong to like my album."

"It is true that there are fewer and fewer Mandarin albums in Hong Kong, and Cantonese songs are becoming more and more popular. I am from the mainland, but I am still used to listening to Mandarin songs."

Luo Dayou and Fei Xiang had different attitudes towards the mainland, so Chen Qi adopted different communication methods. He did not irritate each other at all and did not say any provocative words. Fei Xiang also had a very good personality, gentle and elegant.

Chen Qi chatted with him for a while on the grounds of making friends. The atmosphere was good and he said: "To be honest, we have been developing the music business recently. We also do Cantonese songs and Mandarin songs, but there are not many young people who can sing Mandarin songs.

.

I’ve listened to your entire album and your singing is pretty good. Are you interested in recording a record with me?”

Fei Xiang was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't panic. He just said politely: "Thank you for your consideration, but I have a contract and I shouldn't be able to cooperate with other companies. I'm sorry. And when you record a Mandarin album, will it be released in Hong Kong?"

Taiwan has a very small audience in Hong Kong? Well, can you enter Taiwan?" "Can't enter!"
