The time has come to 6:50 in the evening, and the Losers' farewell concert is coming to an end.
Zhang Zhonghua also sang a song at the end, which was a farewell to the Losers. After singing the song, Zhang Zhonghua stayed on the stage and said: "Dear friends, on behalf of all my colleagues at Jade Emperor Records, I would like to thank all my friends for coming to Hung Hom.
I attended the farewell concert of the Losers Band at the stadium. Thank you all for coming to witness the departure of my friends Chen Baixiang and Alan Tam.
I sincerely hope that Alan Tam and Chen Baixiang can have a bright future after leaving Jade Emperor Records. Alan Tam has already expressed that there is a high probability that he will return to the music scene after graduating from college.
As for Chen Baixiang, well, I can only hope that his business fails!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhonghua spread his hands helplessly, and his funny words caused the 50,000 spectators in the stadium to burst into laughter.
"Okay, without further ado, let's invite today's protagonists, Mr. Alan Tam and Mr. Chen Baixiang."
Amidst the warm applause, Alan Tam and Chen Baixiang stepped onto the stage somewhat awkwardly.
"Alin, you told me before that you would return to the music scene after finishing school. Is it true?"
"Yes. Zhang Sheng, I went to college mainly because of my father's request. My favorite thing is music. After I graduate from college, I think I will return to the music scene."
Alan Tam returned to Zhang Zhonghua's question very seriously.
After getting the affirmative answer, all the audience cheered. Regardless of whether these people still like Alan Tam after he graduated from university, they still like him very much now. Their favorite singer promised to return, so they were naturally happy.
"Well, Ah Lin, I'm waiting for the day you come back. Next is Mr. Chen Baixiang, Baixiang!"
"Zhang Sheng!"
"Do you like your business to be booming and become a tycoon in Hong Kong and bid farewell to the music scene completely? Or do you hope that your business will fail and return to the music scene to contribute more and better songs to the fans who like you!"
Zhang Zhonghua asked a soul question with a wicked smile on his face.
Chen Baixiang was confused by Zhang Zhonghua's question. He didn't know how to answer it at all. When he answered that he hoped to become a tycoon, did he feel a little sorry for the fans at the scene?
But it would be even more inappropriate to return to the music scene hoping that the business would fail. Who would want their business to fail???
Many spectators at the scene, including staff, were amused by Zhang Zhonghua's question, and for a while the stadium was filled with laughter.
"Well, this...that...Zhang Sheng, and all the fans, no matter how successful my business is, I will always sing to the fans, just like you, Zhang Sheng!"
Chen Baixiang struggled with laughter for a while, and finally gave a compromise answer, and the audience burst into warm applause.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you, but Baixiang, if your business really fails, I will immediately send someone to capture you and work for me. Don't be embarrassed to come back then!"
Zhang Zhonghua said teasingly.
In the end, the Loser Band's concert ended successfully with bursts of laughter.
The audience at the scene also began to leave the Hung Hom Stadium in an orderly manner carrying garbage bags. Although the afternoon concert was very exciting, everyone was very sad to say goodbye to the Losers. Fortunately, Zhang Zhonghua was the best to make jokes and make the sad atmosphere
much better.
The next day, Zhang Zhonghua summoned senior executives from Yuhuang TV and Yuhuang Records to the conference room of the stadium for a meeting.
The reason for the meeting was naturally that Jiayi TV station wanted to start broadcasting in advance. Jiayi TV station made a surprise attack on Jade Emperor TV station and TVB station, which caught both parties off guard, and some modifications had to be made to some of the original plans and arrangements.
Naturally, Zhang Zhonghua wanted to inquire about the relevant situation in person.
"Boss, we have already decided with TVB that Jiayi TV will also start broadcasting children's programs a week before it starts broadcasting.
The first TV series released by Jiayi TV was "The Real Man". Hong Kong Commercial Station also has many loyal users. There are also many fans of this novel, so the ratings should not be ranked second."
Zhang Zhonghua was very satisfied with the arrangements made by Yuhuang TV and TVB. Every Friday night is a prime time slot, and adults and children will definitely rush to watch it.
Children's programs are shown on Thursdays and children are directed to watch children's programs. On Fridays, children are told not to steal the adults' TV.
"Sheng Zhang, Jade Emperor Records has contacted many lyricists to write songs specifically for Teresa Teng. We plan to put together an album and then hold a concert tour in Tojin, Kyoto, Osaka and other places in Japan in the second half of the year.
Some of the previous songs will be released as singles in Japanese to open up the market..."
Many of Teresa Teng's songs are classics that have been sung for decades. Zhang Zhonghua also sang a lot in his previous life, such as "The Moon Represents My Heart", "Tuberose", "Songs from the End of the World", "See the Smoke Again", "When Will You Come Again"
, "Small Town Story" and so on, even if I can't sing it, I have listened to it, and I probably have no problem recalling it.
As for Miyuki Nakajima, she has composed more than 600 songs, and nearly a hundred of them have been covered by Yanxiayu stars. She is known as the woman who raised half of the Yanxiayu music scene.
"By the way, I've been thinking about a question. America has four major entertainment awards, the Emmy Award (TV Award), the Grammy Award (Music Award), the Oscar Award (Movie Award) and a Tony Award.
(Discourse and Opera Awards), these four awards are America's highest awards, and of course are almost the highest entertainment awards in the world.
The Academy Awards, founded in 1929, are the oldest, most authoritative and professional film awards in the world, and are also the most influential film awards in the world;
The Grammy Awards, founded in 1958, are the most influential and authoritative music awards in the world;
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Emmy Awards, founded in 1949, are the highest awards in the American television industry;
The Tony Awards, founded in 1947, are the highest awards for American plays and musicals.
Europe and Japan also have their own various awards. Not to mention Europe and Japan, even Wanwan Province has two awards, the TV Golden Bell Award and the Film Golden Horse Award, although these two awards have not had much impact.
There is power, but it is there after all.
But here in Hong Kong, there are no awards for TV shows, movies, or musicals. This is very inappropriate.
Hong Kong Island is about to usher in a period of great development, and the entertainment industry will also usher in rapid development. We on Hong Kong Island must have our own awards, and we are not allowed to go to other people's places to judge awards in the future, and look at other people's faces?
"
The current Golden Horse Awards are still played by one's own people and one's own people, which is not interesting, but it is there after all.
In the future, Hong Kong Island will be bullied by the Golden Horse Awards and will have no choice but to get nothing, so they have to set up their own Academy Awards. I won’t play with you anymore. I will play my own games.
Zhang Zhonghua has been going abroad to receive awards in recent years and is very depressed. There are no decent awards in Southeast Asia.
Since there isn't one, Zhang Zhonghua decided to just set up one of his own to play with. After more than ten years of continuous development, even if it can't become a first-rate award, it can still become a second-rate award with certain influence.
According to America's method of tossing around for various awards in later generations, he may not be able to catch up with America's awards by the 21st century.
"Boss, then we also call on all walks of life in Hong Kong to establish awards?"
Huang Xizhao asked Zhang Zhonghua.
"Well, Jiayi TV Station has been officially established this year, and the three TV stations can barely do it. When a TV awards can be established next year, we can definitely follow the example of the America Emmy Awards.
At the end of this year, we will set up a film company. Together with Shaw Brothers Films, we can set up a Yanxia film award to award awards specifically for all Yanxia movies or even all movies in Southeast Asia. It is not limited to Yanxia movies. Please refer to the specific details directly.
The Oscars can design it, their system is still very mature."
Zhang Zhonghua briefly explained to Huang Xizhao how to organize the two awards. They basically copied America's. It has been developed for a long time and the system is mature. If you just move it over and make some changes, you can use it directly. Why not do it.
Jade Emperor TV can broadcast the award show live in Southeast Asia, which will also increase the authority of Jade Emperor TV and ensure a steady profit.
"Boss, what about music awards?"
Lin Shiqiao asked.
"The music awards are led by our Jade Emperor Records. Major media in Southeast Asia and music-related academies can also invite to participate. We have established Asia's highest music honors award.
The awards are mainly aimed at the achievement awards for outstanding hits of Yanxia language, commending and motivating those individuals or groups who have made outstanding achievements and contributions in the field of Yanxia language music around the world. They can be the best male and female singer, the best male and female new artist, the best composer, and the most.
Best Arrangement, Top Ten Golden Songs and other awards, we will study the details when the time comes!"
"Boss, should we add the organizations of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry's Southeast Asia branch, that is, those record companies, they are also very influential internationally. This will make the awards more influential internationally.
And if we don’t invite them to participate, will they interfere with the awards?”
Lin Shiqiao said.
The so-called International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (ifpi) is an association founded in 1933 and is an international organization composed of practitioners in the recording industry.
The International Phonographic Association is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, and its secretariat is located in London, England.
The main purpose of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry is to protect song copyright and combat piracy. Currently, all record companies in the world can enter. In Zhang Zhonghua’s opinion, this association is somewhat interesting, but it is the World Federation of the Phonographic Industry, the Southeast Asian branch of this association.
It's a joke.
The Southeast Asia branch was established in 1967. The branch is not far from the Jade Emperor Building and is also in the Central area of Hong Kong Island.
The initiators of this association are mainly the four major international record companies such as Universal Music, EMI Records, Sony Music and Warner Music. However, the latter four companies withdrew from ifpi and established the Hong Kong Island Audiovisual Alliance, so Zhang Zhonghua felt that this branch
It's just a joke, like a joke.
"Well... we don't need to invite them to participate in this award. Our purpose is to create a Yanxia music award. The participating selection agencies are mainly the media and the music academy. This will also reduce some shady and interest involvement. Once they join
, then the entire award will be a lot of trouble.
The participation of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry Southeast Asia Branch in the awards will inevitably lead to interference from the four record companies in the award selection. Too many conflicts of interest will make the awards taste bad.
As for interfering in the selection? Only if they join in can it really affect the awards. If they want to interfere, they can just let it go. If that doesn't work, they can launch their own awards and let us all compete fairly together."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
Since Hong Kong Island wants to establish various awards, it is more appropriate to follow America's method. Otherwise, anyone can get involved, and the awards will become Pheasant Awards. There were many awards in the previous life, but they have not been played for several years.
Just let it go.
"Then how do we divide the sales of gold records, platinum records and diamond records?"
Lin Shiqiao asked Zhang Zhonghua that there is no unified standard for offline Hong Kong. Now that awards are to be established, these standards must also be in place.
"As far as I know, America's record sales will soon be adjusted. Record sales of more than 10 million copies are called diamond records, record sales of more than 1 million copies are called platinum records, and record sales of more than 500,000 copies are called platinum records.
For a gold record.
Although the population in America is over 200 million, the consumption power is strong. Although the consumption power in Southeast Asia is much lower, the population is very large. Our awards target the entire Southeast Asia region, so the level cannot be set too low.
Nowadays, the economy is developing rapidly, people's consumption power is getting stronger and stronger, and the consumption power of records is also getting stronger and stronger.
And in my opinion, tapes will replace vinyl records sooner or later. The cost of tapes is very low compared to records, which will also cause sales to skyrocket.
So the standard can’t be set too low. Let’s just set it as one-tenth of America’s standard. 50,000 is a gold record, 100,000 is a platinum record, and 1 million is a diamond record. That’s pretty much it.
It doesn’t need to be adjusted frequently in a short period of time.”
As for whether it can exceed 10 million copies, it is basically impossible. Of course, in the golden period of the 1990s, the sales volume of pirated copies was frighteningly high. If piracy is included, it can easily exceed 10 million copies.
“So will our awards be held at the end of the year or at the beginning of the year?”
"Well, let's set it at the end of the year. The record sales in Southeast Asia are still very good, and the end of the year is also more lively. It can be used as entertainment for people in Southeast Asia at the end of the next year before the New Year."
