Chapter 371 Nini, do you want to come with us?

The 1980s were the dawn of neon music's boom, and at that time city music (City POP) had just emerged.

Most of the songs are written with themes of complexity, alienation and extravagance in big cities, especially Tokyo.

As a typical representative of Yejiao City, Tokyo has attracted countless young people to seek refuge there.

With the rapid development of the neon economy in the past two years, people's wallets have gradually bulged.

Art creation originates from life, so theme songs that express hedonism outside big cities are gradually becoming popular among people.

The representatives of urban music are mainly young idol singers.

Seiko Matsuda, Hiromi Iwasaki, Yoshie Kashiwahara from the 1980s group, Akina Nakamori from the 1982 group, Akatsuki Koizumi, etc. are all idol singers shining brightly in the trend of the times.

As one of the arts that entertains the public, the huge social influence of the music field alone deserves special attention from Maple Hongchuan, regardless of its profits.

When an enterprise develops to a certain level, if profit is the first factor to be considered, then the factor of influence definitely ranks second.

Even when some businesses are not making money, the huge social impact is still worthy of the company's continuous investment.

If Hongchuan Electrical Appliances is already on the market, its subsequent development will be on the right track. At that time, Hongchuan Holdings began to seek breakthroughs in social influence.

There is no doubt that it is a shortcut for the entertainment industry, and considering that it can be linked with its own products, record companies are a very suitable choice.

After all, it is not surprising for Neon to be involved in the record industry when it comes to audio-visual equipment manufacturers.

For example, Sony, Yamaha, JVC, Pioneer, etc., they all have their own record companies.

The kind of company that enters the record industry as a manufacturing company is called a motor manufacturing company in the neon art circle.

Although Hongchuan Holdings is not involved in the record industry now, because of its special relationship with Hongchuan Electric, that record company still belongs to the motor manufacturing department.

If you want to set up a record company, Hongchuan Feng will not start from scratch and build your own team bit by bit.

His method is very simple and crude, so it will not give full play to the role of Qian Keli.

Hongchuan Holdings acquired several small record companies with no sense of existence such as Art Union, Denon, and East Wind.

At the same time, the record department of Daei was integrated, and a new record company, SAOND, was established based on the teams of those offices.

SAOND, the beginning is taken from the first and last two letters of the Roman sound of "Hongchuan", and at the same time, Sound (sound) is the homophony, which makes the name simple and easy to pronounce.

Daying itself also had its own record label, but later it gradually ceased operations due to poor management.

But the team in the department is very good, and they are all practitioners with rich experience in the recording industry.

Based on this, combined with the complete acquisition of several small record companies, the main framework of SAOND has been established.

If you want to develop in the record field, you can't just rely on your legs.

"Seiko, who is my current producer?" Hongkawa Kaede and Matsuda Seiko were lying together in the office, studying the development plan of SAOND.

"Hey," Seiko Matsuda was stunned for a moment, and then replied casually, "If Matsuzong Xiongsang, Hongchuan-kun has also met him. Oh, that's right, if Matsuzong-san has met Hongchuan-kun."

"Huh?" Hongchuan Feng looked confused, why he had no impression.

"When he first came to Tokyo, he had dinner with Aizawa-san and Wakamatsu-san at an izakaya.

Mr. Hongchuan happened to be there at that time, and he remembered that I sang a song called "Dragonfly"."

This was the first time Matsuda Seiko and Hongchuan Kaede met. Although they never said a word to each other, she remembered him.

What also made her never expect was that the girl who sat at the same table with Mr. Hongchuan that day would actually compete with her a few months later.

Damn it, it's just so late.

Hong Chuanfeng didn't know what Seiko Matsuda was thinking, but when Bu Nao was reminded by her, a flash of realization flashed in his eyes.

That day, it seemed that Aizawa-san wanted to invite him to debut as an artist.

After he refused at that time, he accidentally turned around and glanced, and indeed saw a girl and a middle-aged man standing at the intersection.

If a girl is Seiko Matsuda, the middle-aged man must be Seiko Wakamatsu.

"Wakamatsu-san, which firm is he working in now?" Hongchuan Kaede's eyes began to flicker.

"At CBS/SONY Music, I am responsible for the planning and production of six movies." Little Huya followed suit and his eyes started to shine.

"Are they all at Sony? That's good~ Let's talk about it then."

For Matsuda Seiko, Hongkawa Kaede has already had an affair with Norio Ohga, and the wrong party will release him after March.

As for the relationship between the two of them, Ohga Norio naturally knew what was going on.

Sony didn't hate Hong Chuanfeng by rejecting an artist without asking.

Of course, Hongchuan Feng is not a prostitute, and there are also some exchanges of interests there.

For example, the cooperative promotion of chewing gum batteries is not the same as Sony's Walkman, which also has battery life issues.

Ruming Hongchuan Electrical Appliances has found a solution, please, please do you guys want to work on it together?

Facing the shiny gum battery on Hongchuan Electric's leg, Sony wiped the corners of his mouth fiercely, and then decisively chose to let him go.

Unexpectedly, the boy from Hongchuan Electric Co., Ltd., with thick eyebrows and big eyes, quietly developed such black technology behind his back.

Sony has more electronic products and gum batteries have a wider range of applications.

As for the application of chewing gum batteries, if the two companies join forces to promote it, its acceptance speed will definitely be greatly accelerated.

Of course, business is business, and Hongchuan Electric can charge no less of the royalties that should be paid.

As far as Sony is concerned, Hongchuan Electric can take out the chewing gum batteries, so it will be a big advantage.

That will save them a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to solve the battery life problem of their products, and of course the same goes for time costs.

In the early 1980s, Sony was completely empty in the battery field, and the outside world had just decided whether to enter that industry.

Not to mention the battery factory, even the departments are not well established.

Therefore, there is a high probability that chewing gum batteries produced by Sony will appear on the market a year and a half after Hongchuan Electric goes on sale.

So before Sony’s battery factory was put into production, whose chewing gum batteries were used for its products?

The corner of Hongkawa Kaede's mouth was wet, and she wrote Muneio Wakamatsu's name on the red paper with a pen, so that SAOND's president-san would be in place.

Of course it's not enough to just bring Seiko Matsuda over. To support a record company, a mature production team is needed.

Since Muneo Wakamatsu can serve as the head of the production department at Sony Music, he must have plenty of ability.

At the same time, because he is not an outsider, he also discovered the popular idol singer Matsuda Seiko, so his connections and vision are unique in his own way.

Capacity, connections, vision, and the qualities that a record company manager should have are all in one.

"Wrong, who is the lyricist and composer of the Holy Son?"

"Matsumoto Takashi-san, Omura Masarō-san, Saitsu Kazuo-san, Hosono Haruomi-san, Tsutsumi Kyohei-san..."

Matsuda Seiko, who already knew what Hongkawa Kaede was up to, reported a series of names without hesitation.

"Wait, wait~" Hongchuan Feng raised her leg to stop her from signing up for the game, "There are so many?"

"Uh," Little Huya stuck out his tongue, "Are those songwriters and composers who are currently collaborating or interested in collaborating?"

In fact, the first two are the ones who really cooperate. Chengdong is well-known, and Matsuda Seiko is the one who wants to cooperate.

She knew that Hongchuan Feng had used Qian Keli, so of course she would take this opportunity to catch all those famous people.

"Forget it" Hongchuan Feng shook his head, he knew what Seiko Matsuda had planned.

"When the time comes, he will invite you to give it a try in the name of SAOND. I don't know whether it will work or not."

He didn't know much about the music industry, but he also knew that many lyricists and composers did not have fixed offices.

Most of the time, every record company will occasionally cooperate with each other, so SAOND is not without opportunities.

Apart from them, Hongchuan Kaede was writing the name of Tetsuro Higashikata Oda on the paper again.

That was the only neon composer he had heard of and remembered in his previous life.

Especially in the 1990s, many people must have heard the theme song of "Guan Nan High Legs".

Although there was a high probability that he would be working as a composer for someone named Nagato at this time, Hongchuan Kaede had no way of poaching the person.

Even Sony Music had not grown up in those days, let alone a small record company.

"Hey, who is that?" Seiko Matsuda, who was lying on his shoulder, curiously looked at the last name written on the paper.

"A newcomer with potential" Hongchuan Feng put her pen to paper and began to look for her weak spots.

"Hey, is there an office there?" Seiko Matsuda's voice was a little nervous, but also a little excited.

"Well, no one will come there."

Hong Chuanfeng directly carried her to the rest room next door.

Hey, Hongchuan Feng's office in Hongchuan Building is very big. Of course, the facilities are also very complete.
