Chapter 243: Entering the Taiwan Music Circle

After Han Jin expressed his willingness to develop in the Taiwanese music scene, Su Xiaoliang immediately contacted Taiwan record companies.

In less than a week, the results were already achieved.

Huaxing Records signed a contract with Taiwan Rolling Stone Records, agreeing to have three albums in two years, with the signing fee of up to HK$1 million. Although it is incomparable to Sony Records in Japan, it is also a very good price.

The new album is still produced by Han Jin**, who is responsible for writing lyrics, composing and arranging work, and the record commission is as high as 45%, earning nearly half of the profit. This is also a treatment that only big-name singers can enjoy.

Rolling Stone Records, Feidie Records, and Polykin Records are the three largest record companies in Taiwan in the 1980s. Among them, Rolling Stone Records has the strongest strength, not only the music godfather Luo Dayou, love song godfather Li Zongsheng, famous musician Xiao Chong, but also famous singers such as Zhou Huajian, Pan Yueyun, and Qi Yu.

Han Jin admires Luo Dayou's songs the most and hopes to become a fellow student with him. So although Feidie Records and Polygon Records are also very generous, he still firmly chose Rolling Stone Records.

During the negotiations between Huaxing Records and Rolling Stone Records, Han Jin was not idle either. He invested all the more than 15 million Hong Kong dollars he earned from Japan into the real estate market.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Sino-UK negotiations have not yet come to an end and Hong Kong's housing prices are sluggish, we bought many popular shops in Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, Central and other places, and we can earn more than 300,000 yuan per month.

After the Sino-British negotiations reached an agreement at the end of the year, the Hong Kong real estate market rebounded and rose again, and housing prices soared. Han Jin could make 10 million Hong Kong dollars in less than half a year, which is really more profitable than robbing a bank.

After signing the contract with Huaxing Records and Rolling Stone Records, Han Jin is preparing to set off for Taiwan on a date.

He had promised Chen Yulian to go to Taiwan to accompany her in February, and it was almost June now. Half a year has passed, but he has not yet made a journey, which makes him feel very guilty.

Just as he was busy ending the affairs in Hong Kong, he wanted to go to Taiwan to see Chen Yulian as soon as possible, but he received another call from Huang Jun.

When the master had an order, Han Jin naturally did not dare to refuse and drove to his home.

When he saw that, Han Jin was shocked. He saw that his small living room was full of people. When he saw him, he smiled and greeted him, "Mr. Han, I am from Polykin Records...", "Jin Shao. Below is from Keyi Records...". "I am from Kangyi Chengyin Records Company..."

Everyone introduced themselves around Han Jin. Han Jin's head was so quarrel that Han Jin's head was three times bigger.

"Everyone, everyone... please sit down and talk first, come one by one!" Huang Jun shouted loudly from behind.

"Please go back to your seat first. Let's talk about anything later." Han Jin also said hurriedly.

Everyone then sat back reluctantly, and then looked at Han Jin one by one.

"Hello Master~" Han Jin was able to escape, walked to Huang Jun and bowed properly, then asked in confusion, "Master, what's going on?"

"Oh, these are all representatives sent by major record companies in Hong Kong. They have invited you to songs before, but they have been waiting for a long time but haven't replied to you. I know I am your teacher, so I asked me to come here to ask if the price is not appropriate or why?" Huang Jun explained awkwardly.

Han Jin smiled, "So this is the matter!"

"Yes, Jin Shao, we just want to buy a few songs. Is it not appropriate to pay?" asked one person, "How much do you plan to sell? Can you give us some advice?"

"Yes, tell us the reason, let us have an explanation when we go back." Everyone said verbally.

Han Jin pressed his hand down, "Everyone, this is not a matter of money..."

"What's the problem?" everyone asked curiously again.

"I thank you for your kindness, for being able to appreciate my talent and like my works. But after all, I am still young, have too shallow experience, and have limited number of works to create." Han Jin said with a smile, "So everyone wants to buy songs, and it makes me really embarrassed if I don't give them to them."

"Jin Shao, of course I sold the songs to us. Ye Qianwen from our company is your friend." The representative of Warner Records hurriedly said.

"Mr. Han, our Polykin Records Company is also very sincere. If the price is not suitable, you can add it to it~" said the representative of Polykin Records Company.

"Our Bedroom Records is also sincere. Mr. Han can raise a price and we will discuss it slowly." The representative of Bedroom Records also said.

...

Many record company representatives were anxious to express their sincerity, and for a moment, the living room was in chaos again.

"Everyone, everyone, quiet, quiet..." Han Jin said hurriedly, "I know everyone is very sincere, and I also appreciate everyone's appreciation, but it is not a solution for everyone to argue like this..."

"Jin Shao, have you already got an idea?" asked the Warner Records representative curiously.

Han Jin smiled, "I just have an immature idea, you can refer to it."

"Mr. Han, please say!" said the representative of Polykin Records with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Han, please tell me..." Everyone nodded.

"Well, I want to hold a song auction, the price is higher, I wonder what you think?" Han Jin smiled.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and then they whispered and started to talk.

"Song Auction", this is really unprecedented, and I have never heard of it.

"Jin Shao, what is the specific process of this song auction?" Warner Records representative asked in confusion.

"It's very simple. Any company and singer who is interested in the song can participate in the auction, and the person with the highest bidder will win the right to use it." Han Jin explained.

"How to price the songs for auction?" asked the representative of Polykin Records in confusion.

If it is an art auction, there will be a bottom price because it is evaluated by professionals in advance, and the quality will be guaranteed. But how should the song be priced, and who can guarantee its quality? What if the songs bought at a high price are not sold well, isn’t that a loss-making transaction?

Han Jin smiled, "Please rest assured, everyone, I won't use some bad songs to make up my numbers, and I won't just smash my own signs casually. Moreover, my companies also have professionals, and they should be able to identify which songs are good and which songs are worthless..."

Hearing what he said, everyone here nodded. If the record company can't even tell the quality of the song, there is really no need to continue to open it.

"Do you have any questions?" Han Jin asked with a smile again.

"When will this song auction be held?" asked a representative from EDA Records.

"Oh, I think it's better to hold it as soon as possible, because I'm going to develop in the Taiwanese music scene soon." Han Jin smiled.

After hearing what he said, everyone here couldn't help but exclaim.

Not many Hong Kong singers can develop in Taiwan. Because first of all, they are not as good as language. One speaks Cantonese and the other speaks Mandarin, which is completely different from the same language, and it is difficult to communicate.

Furthermore, Hong Kong musicians rarely write Mandarin songs. Cantonese songs cannot resonate in Taiwan. However, in the 1970s, Taiwan's Mandarin songs were very popular in Hong Kong. For example, Deng Lijun, Ouyang Feifei, Weng Qianyu and others were very popular in Hong Kong.

Now Han Jin has just made a name for himself in Japan, and now he is going to develop in the Taiwan music scene. He is really enterprising and intends to conquer all the Southeast Asian music scenes.

"Everyone goes back and discuss with the company. If you are interested, please contact us." Huang Zhan said with a smile.

Everyone nodded after hearing this. This matter was really not something they could do, so they should go back and discuss it with the company.

Everyone quickly left clean, and some of them didn't want to leave and wanted to stay and continue to discuss with Han Jin, but were invited by Huang Zhan.

"A Jin, you are still smart enough to come up with such a good idea." Huang Zhan smiled with his big thumbs up, "Song Auction, haha, why did you think of it? I'll find all these record companies. When the auction is made, the price of the song will not be raised to the sky. Haha, you're making a profit now."

Han Jin couldn't help but smile, "I can't help it. Who makes the current songs too low? Singers make hundreds of thousands or millions with one or two good songs, while songwriters work hard, but they only make a few thousand yuan or tens of thousands of yuan. This is unreasonable in itself. In Europe, America and Japan, songwriters make more money than singers."

"Master, if my method works, the works of Hong Kong songwriters can be auctioned in the future, and everyone will benefit from that time."

"Yes, you're right." Huang Zhan couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Well, you're still smart and you can think of this good idea. If it can be implemented, it might be a blessing for us lyricists and songwriters."

Han Jin smiled, "I'm also bored, just be fooled."

...

After chatting with Huang Zhan for a while, Han Jin was about to say goodbye, but suddenly he heard the doorbell.

Han Jin walked over and opened the door, but was stunned. He saw Ye Qianwen standing outside the door. A thin man with two beards, his hair was messy, wearing sunglasses, unkempt and unrestrained appearance.

Han Jin vaguely felt that the man wearing sunglasses looked familiar. Before he could remember who he was, Ye Qianwen was also stunned when he saw him cheering and pounced on Han Jin's arms, "A Jin, long time no see, I miss you so much~" and said that, he took the initiative to give him a fragrant kiss.

"Uh... it's been a long time since we met~" Han Jin smiled awkwardly. Unexpectedly, Ye Qianwen is still so enthusiastic. She has a ghost girl's personality and is not careful about the details, regardless of the others. If someone misunderstood, Han Jin will be in trouble.

"Oh, A Jin, you and Sally have a really good relationship. No wonder you wrote a song for her." Huang Zhan laughed behind her and said, "It's purely a pot that doesn't open to any pot.

After he said this, it seemed that the two of them had an unusual relationship.

"Let's talk first." Han Jin said with a smile, pulling Ye Qianwen off her body.

"A Jin, let me introduce you. This is Director Xu Kexu." Huang Zhan introduced with a smile.

Han Jin suddenly realized that no wonder he looked familiar with him. "Hello, Director Xu, hello, I have long been famous and well-known."

I just rejected his invitation to the movie a few days ago, but now I meet him at my teacher's house. This is really embarrassing.

Xu Ke and Han Jin also shook hands, and then said, "Mr. Han, I heard you rejected my invitation to the movie. Can you tell me why? Is it because of the pay issue?"

"Oh, no, no, you misunderstood, Director Xu." Han Jin waved his hand quickly, "It's because I'm going to Taiwan to develop recently, so I have no schedule, so I have to turn it off helplessly."

"Mr. Han, I think this role is really suitable for you. You might as well consider it?" Xu Ke said seriously again.

"A Jin, I have also watched the drama directed by Xu. It's really good. You might as well think about it more." Huang Zhan also advised, "It's not easy to encounter a good drama as an actor. Don't miss this precious opportunity."

Han Jin smiled, "I know, teacher, I also know Director Xu is a good director, but I am going to Taiwan to develop this time, so I really have no schedule to stay in Hong Kong to film."

"Can you leave me a week? One week is enough for me?" Xu Ke suddenly said.
