The heavens began with Huo Yuanjia

Chapter 161 Choice and Decision

Speaking of which, UFO Records and Rolling Stones really have a lot of connections. The two founders of UFO Records originally left Rolling Stones because of disagreement in business philosophy.

The reason why it is named Flying Saucer is to allude to the Rolling Stones - "There are rolling stones on the ground and flying saucers in the sky". The name also comes from the famous advertiser, music producer and photographer Yang Lide.

Last year, UFO's newcomer Su Rui's first self-titled album achieved great success, with sales exceeding one million copies.

Speaking of it, there is also an element of luck, because in the same year, a movie "Hitch the Wrong Car", which was released in the same year and the script was written in three days by the old monster Huang of Xinyicheng, exploded at the box office.

And because according to the setting in the film, the heroine finally became a popular singer, so she was required to "sing" many songs in the film, so Su Rui became the "voice substitute".

As the movie became popular, the songs in it naturally became very popular, which led to the hot sales of this soundtrack album.

The album's movie soundtracks "If the Wine Is Sold Without" and "Same Moonlight" have become his classic masterpieces, with the latter also staying on the Mandarin song charts for nine weeks.

At the same time, this album is also the first Wanwan album to be released in the mainland. Like the movie, it has formed a certain influence in the mainland, and it has also made Su Rui popular in both sides of the strait.

After this time, UFO began to quickly become a first-class record company on the island, and they made persistent efforts and continued to place heavy bets on Su Rui.

In January of this year, she released the album "Twilight Looking Back", which topped Wanwan's "Pop Songs Best Selling List" for 1 consecutive weeks.

In September, the album "Fate of Dust" was released, and then 9 solo concerts were held at the Hong Kong Hong Kong Gymnasium.

Even Su Rui laughed and said, "It feels like I've spent most of this year in the recording studio"...

But with Su Rui as a female singer, they also needed a male singer, otherwise they would inevitably look deep and shallow, making it difficult to walk.

Moreover, male and female singers face different markets. If a record company wants to lay a solid foundation, it must take care of both sides.

Obviously, Li Yong has entered their sight at this moment.

This young woman is the music director of UFO Records at this time, and her name is Wang Yilan. (Virtual character, don’t take it seriously)
Her music quality is average, mainly in terms of management and vision. She is very confident in her vision and firmly believes that Li Yong can become a talent.

While eating in the restaurant, she chatted with Li Yong one after another.

As for the next table, the producer of Rolling Stone Records, who is also a famous musician on the island, happened to be sitting there.

He might not have pursued Li Yong so closely in the first place, it wasn't that he didn't value it, the main reason was that it would easily cause pressure on others.

Especially young people are prone to rebellious psychology.

But seeing Wang Yilan bring Li Yong here, he was very worried that Li Yong would be wooed.

As an old opponent, he is very aware of Wang Yilan's ability. She is very friendly and can control the rhythm of the conversation. Unknowingly, people may be led by the nose by him.

Su Rui was not from UFO Records at the beginning, but she was "fooled" by her. In addition to her persuasiveness, it actually also reflected her vision.

The same is true for the cooperation with "Hit the Wrong Car", because the time was too tight at that time, and it is well known that the shooting of Hong Kong Island movies at this time is all about speed.

The script of this movie was completed within three days, and the faster the shooting, the better, so the original soundtrack must also be rushed.

Because of this, many record companies missed out on it. At that time, no one thought that the movie would sell so well and the soundtrack would sell so well.

This time it was also because of Wang Yilan's persistence and her vision.

After this incident, no one in the industry will underestimate her, not to mention that Wang Yilan still has an advantage over Li Yong compared to him.

She is a woman and a very beautiful big sister, which will be extremely lethal to a young man like Li Yong.

If his soul is hooked by accident, that person will most likely be in the flying saucer.

In fact, Li Yong is just a potential stock to him at this time, and there is no way to be snatched away by others, but he must not be a flying saucer.

Especially if he invited Li Yong to join the Rolling Stones in front of so many people, if he turns around and joins the flying saucer, what will he do in the future?
But when he was nervous and worried, Wang Yilan was also very puzzled.

She had indeed thought about taking advantage of her appearance. After all, he had already taken advantage of her, and the Rolling Stones were indeed well-known, and they seemed to have a leading role in the new company.

He had to make a quick decision and confirm his mind with just one meal, so that he could feel a little more at ease.

Afterwards, adapt to the situation and see the conditions of other companies such as Rolling Stone before responding.

But even though Li Yong, who was facing her, didn't look at her less, he seemed to have a more mature and purely appreciative gaze, rather than the lust and soul of a young man.

This was not the effect she wanted, so after chatting for a long time and the meal was almost finished, she decided to get to the point, "Li Yong, do you have any plans for your future?"

"In the future, go home first, and then prepare for graduation and exams. I'll come to the finals when it's confirmed here... Well, this is the short-term plan."

I'm asking about your planning, not this kind of "nonsense".

Wang Yilan felt more and more that this boy was not as immature as he appeared on the outside.

He definitely did it on purpose!
"Li Yong, let me be frank. I really hope you can join our UFO Records. I think you have potential, and we also have the ability to help you realize your potential. I don't need to say more about Su Rui's example, right?

"Although you are different from her, there are some things in common. And through her, we have accumulated a certain amount of experience, and we will definitely be more familiar with you.

"I just saw your performance in the audience, and then I asked a little bit, some people who know you, they said that when you were in the audition, the typhoon was also very good.

"Although your singing skills are relatively average, I don't think it's a big problem, because you have greater advantages, such as your typhoon, your creative ability-you wrote that song yourself, right?"

Li Yong nodded, "Well, I used to write a lot of songs when I was free."

Wang Yilan's eyes lit up, and the smile on her face grew stronger, "If I remember correctly, you are from Tamkang Art School, right? You studied musical instruments at school?"

With her voice and singing skills, she wouldn't believe that she was learning to sing.

Li Yongdao: "Our school is considered a comprehensive art high school, so we all learn it, but my professional exam is piano, and I passed the performer's evaluation exam before."

Because of this, he is now a "superior student", and the culture class is functioning normally, so he can choose any university on the island.

"Oh?"

Not only Wang Yilan was surprised, but also the representative of Rolling Stone Records next to her.

Performer!

How many pianists are there on the island?

The key is how old is he?

Now that you are in high school, you should be no more than 17 years old, right?

A 17-year-old pianist, why didn't they hear the news?
But after thinking about it, I was relieved. The classical music circle and their pop music circle are two different circles. Although they occasionally go there to find talents, but now is the era of folk songs.

Who will pay attention to the piano thing?

What's more, there are actually differences between performers. Li Yong is probably still in the stage of "apprenticeship" or internship, but it is a skill to pass the exam. There is no problem with ability. In the future, he only needs to accumulate qualifications.

At his age, this will not be a problem.

(I made it up for the convenience of the plot, don't take it seriously with me, after all, I don't learn piano, and I don't know what the rating of Wanwan's piano is)

Thinking of this, the two looked at Li Zhao with even more fiery eyes.

Of course, they don't have any special feelings about the performers themselves. Although they feel that they are very powerful, they can only be unaware of the difference in the industry.

But where this identity can be put to use is what they value most.

There are two main points. The first point is naturally marketing. Think about it. A singer is actually a pianist. Ordinary people will think "wow, so good and tall" when they hear it. attract attention.

For a new singer, it is very important to be able to make a name in the first place. The more gimmicks and attractive points, the better.

Second, this is enough to show that Li Yong's classical music attainments are not uncommon, and he also has creative skills. Based on a solid classical foundation, his works are naturally more expected.

In fact, for Li Yong, there is a common locking point in their hearts, which is also the reason why they believe that he will succeed, that is his appearance.

There is no so-called "idol" concept these days, but in fact, when the company packages stars, the face must be a very important point.

Wanwan's company is particularly good at this aspect. For example, "Little Whirlwind" who is only ten years old now, although he has left some works in singing and filming in the future, what is most praised is his youthful vitality and his "not old Tong Yan".

Even though his accomplishments in terms of singers and actors are not comparable to many Uranus superstars in the same period, why is he still so popular? Isn't it because of his face?

In addition, Fahrenheit after the new century is even more exaggerated. The scene of a car accident is not actually called a car accident scene.

But relying on the packaging of his appearance, he suddenly became famous and became very popular.

Although it is not as exaggerated as it was later, after all, the entertainment industry on the island is gradually developing.

But having a handsome face is a good thing for a singer no matter when or where he puts it.

When the time comes, a photoshoot will probably increase album sales, and the concert will definitely attract a large number of fans.

As long as Li Yong is willing, they can immediately turn him into a "little whirlwind" in the 80s.

That is to say, the real MV trend has not yet appeared, and it will have to wait until MJ’s shuddering MV appeared in 82 to bring about a trend. Otherwise, Li Yong would just hold a guitar, sit on a chair and play and sing a few times into the microphone. Minutes of songs are recorded.

Such an MV is estimated to attract many young girls, because it is enough to just look at the face.

Of course, artists and artists are talented people, so to be popular, you don’t have to be good-looking, but you must have characteristics, even if they are ugly. Profound.

Look at the stars of this era, which one does not have a memory?Basically, it will be unforgettable after reading it, and if it is easy to forget, of course it will not leave its own mark in this era.

Now is not the era when plastic surgery became popular later on. Although it is inevitable that there are things like double eyelid surgery, teeth correction, or whitening, oh yes, there is also the so-called "tanning", but these can only be seen in that era. It's a "minor adjustment".

And here, those who have used knives will all have a dark history of becoming a star, and they will all be hyped as "scandals" now.

For example, when Goddess "Doudou" Qiu was running for Miss Hong Kong, she lost her ranking because she moved her chin. This was only because she was bumped and was afraid of leaving scars after surgery, which shows the harshness of this era.

How is it like later, when you go online and say "plastic surgery monster" and "head change monster", there are a lot of so-called rational passers-by to argue with you?

It is true that plastic surgery itself is a very personal matter, but if a person relies on the image after plastic surgery to make profits, then plastic surgery actually becomes a social issue, because it can easily create a wrong concept.

"If I get plastic surgery, I will become popular and make a lot of money..."

Whether this is the case or not, but the atmosphere must have been corrupted.

Your parents brought you into this world, but when you are in your 20s, your parents won’t even recognize your face. Is this something to be proud of?
The world's attack on appearance is a chronic disease that needs to be eliminated, but the way to eliminate appearance anxiety is definitely not through plastic surgery.

Don't mention gossip, the book returns to the main story.

Of course, Li Yong said these words on purpose, just to increase his bargaining chips.

In fact, he has already decided which company he will choose to join, and he can sign the contract immediately after the finals. It doesn't matter if he reveals a little bit now, of course, it must be when the other company is not around.

From a "future" perspective, both companies are actually good, especially UFO Records, which will almost be regarded as a "overlord" in Wanwan's local music market in the future, so Li Yong's choice is Rolling Stone Records. .

Thirty years later, most of Wanwan's local music record companies have been infiltrated by foreign major labels, and only Rolling Stone is still holding on.

However, this is not the real reason why Li Yong chose them, but because this company has Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng, and Zhou Huajian at present and in the future. Of course, another Zhan Zhenyue (not) is also there. Maybe this is the reason why they will form a vertical line in the future?
There are also people such as the double of [-], Xiao Qi who has played Yang Guo and Chu Liuxiang, and the love song prince Zhang Xinzhe, etc., will join the Rolling Stones one after another in the future.

This singer resource alone is enough for Li Yong to prefer them. Although it is not his youth, after all, he is born in the [-]s, but the older he is, the more he loves to listen to these people's songs.

So... Well, let's treat it as chasing stars.

Moreover, the Rolling Stones have the first advantage after all. It can be seen from the fact that the producer was able to serve as a judge for the Golden Rhyme Award, and their connections are not bad.

In fact, Li Yong only needs a platform that can soar into the sky. As for whether he will stay on this platform in the future, he still doesn't know. Of course, he still has to choose a better choice at the moment.

But until he separated from those two people, Li Yong still didn't disclose the choice in his heart.

Because he felt that there might be surprises in the future.

　Khan, I got confused after checking the information, only to find that I have confused the timeline here, 79 has been changed to 84-it has been made at the same time as the fast food truck.

　　It stands to reason that there should be no UFOs and Rolling Stones at this time-the Rolling Stones have them, but they have not yet set foot in the record industry.

　　In this way, the entire timeline is messed up...

　　囧~
　　Forget it, it’s not easy to change, and there’s no way to change it. After all, it’s all decided later, so let’s treat it as another development of the movie world. The events were all planned five years in advance, so there is no sense of disobedience... ...it's strange.

　　There is no way to violate the peace, anyway, this dungeon is almost over, so be it.
