After Zhao Yazhi decided to come back to star in "The Legend of the New White Snake", Kang Jianfei immediately called the TV production company. In addition to confirming the three leading roles of Zhao Yazhi, Zhu Wei and Ye Tong, he also named Li Hanxiang as the director, because he is a master of Huangmei opera films. If an ordinary director were to shoot it, it would never have the kind of charm it should have.

Li Hanxiang has been making movies for the past few years, but unfortunately, he is becoming more and more unable to keep up with the times.

When the Oriental TV production company found Li Hanxiang, the old gentleman was recovering in the hospital, and his condition was not serious.

Although Li Hanxiang couldn't come out as a director in person, he recommended his old partner Xia Zuhui, who happened to be the director of the original "Legend of the New White Snake". It was a coincidence that it went around in a circle and came back again.

Although Xia Zuhui lives in Hong Kong, he often travels across the Taiwan Strait and three places. Now he is working as a drama director for a TV series in Taiwan. After receiving the invitation, he immediately rushed back to Hong Kong and was very excited to get the script of "The Legend of the New White Snake", because it suits his taste too much.

Just when Xia Zuhui was in full swing to set up the crew, Ye Zipei also came to Hong Kong. She came to attend the year-end shareholders meeting of Dongfang Music Group. Kang Jianfei attended various year-end meetings during this time, and she was bored to death.

The Oriental Music Group is headquartered in Hong Kong, and its president is Cheng Shengming, who once held an important position in Atlantic Records, a subsidiary of Warner Music. In 199o, Time and Warner merged, and its Atlantic Records invested in the establishment of a record company. Cheng Shengming was transferred to the new company as the executive vice president.

With the expansion of the record exhibition, Cheng Shengming, a Chinese, was gradually excluded from the decision-making circle. He returned to Hong Kong in a fit of anger, and joined the Oriental Music Group through the introduction of a friend, and was directly appointed by Kang Jianfei as the vice president of the group. Because of his strong work ability, this guy is now the president.

In addition to Cheng Shengming and Ye Zipei, there are also Peng Guohua and Wu Chuchu from Taiwan UFO Records, Zhang Peiren from Big 6 Rolling Stone Records, Jiang Zhongguo from Korean Trend Records, Xu Huanliang and Huang Yuancheng from Singapore Sea Butterfly Records, and Ai from Japan. Katsuto Matsuura, who returned to music, and Deng Yimin of Hong Kong Pop Records.

Everyone sat together, first chatted about last year's situation, analyzed the current global music market situation, and then discussed the cooperation between companies next year.

Kang Jianfei has been sitting by the side listening, did he add a sentence.

After an unknown period of time, Deng Yimin suddenly said, "Huaxing Records is dying. I want to invite Mr. Xu and Mr. Huang from Haidie Records to eat it together."

"Huaxing Records can't do it?" Kang Jianfei was quite surprised. It was Shao Yifu's company, and TVB was helping out behind it. How could it fail?

In fact, Huaxing Records is really bad. Its main business is concentrated in Hong Kong, but it has been hit by Pop Records and Polygram, and it has suffered losses for two consecutive years. Even if there is no popular record, the original time and space Huaxing record will be sold to the South China Morning Post Group, and now it is only half a year ahead of schedule.

Xu Huanliang recognized Deng Yimin's suggestion very much, because Huaxing Records also has several branches in Southeast Asia, and eating Huaxing is conducive to the expansion of Haidie Records. He said: "The South China Morning Post seems to be discussing the acquisition with Huaxing, and we must act quickly. "

Cheng Shengming suddenly interjected: "The group's layout in Hong Kong and Nanyang is already mature. There is no need to acquire another Huaxing. This will only make our organizational structure more bloated."

Deng Yimin said: "But the acquisition of Huaxing will benefit us even more!"

Cheng Shengming said: "There is really no need to acquire, we just need to take advantage of the opportunity of Huaxing to change hands and dig out its excellent producers and singers."

Deng Yimin and Xu Huanliang wanted to argue again, but Kang Jianfei suddenly said, "It's settled, there's no need to acquire Huaxing. President Deng, President Xu, make arrangements early when you go back, and try to poach the excellent employees of Huaxing Records. "

"Okay." Deng Yimin and Xu Huanliang said helplessly. The chairman has spoken, what else can they say?

Today, although Huaxing Records is losing money, it does have many good singers, such as Xu Zhian, Eason Chan, Zheng Xiuwen, Coco Lee and so on. In addition, Huaxing has several gold medal producers, which are more valuable than singers. Red singers are like eggs, while gold medal music producers are hens that lay eggs.

If all these people are dug up, then Huaxing Records will only be left with a pile of rubbish. Even if the South China Morning Post Group buys it, it will only be a headache.

When the meeting was over, Kang Jianfei specially kept Cheng Shengming and said, "The Asian side has already developed almost, and it is time to enter the US market."

"It's difficult." Cheng Shengming only answered two words.

Kang Jianfei said, "No matter how difficult it is, you have to try it."

Cheng Shengming said: "If you want to expand in the United States, there is only one way left. That is to acquire a local American record company and use local American singers to occupy the market. It is impossible for Chinese singers to enter."

Of course, Kang Jianfei knows this situation. If European and American record companies want to expand in Asia, they can only acquire Asian companies and use Asian singers. The cultural gap between the East and the West is too serious.

"How about the acquisition of Polymetal?" Kang Jianfei asked with a smile.

"Uh..." Cheng Shengming was speechless for a moment, and took a long time to react before smiling bitterly, "Mr. Kang, you are trying to swallow an elephant."

For children born after 9o and oo, the name Polygram may be unfamiliar, but it is indeed the world's oldest, largest and most powerful record company in the 90's.

"Hehe, I'm just talking." Kang Jianfei laughed. He only remembered that PolyGram was acquired by Universal Music 2ooo years ago, but he didn't know the specific reason and when.

In fact, Polygram's bosses are well-informed. The reason they sold Polygon was that they believed that traditional records would be replaced by digital (network) music, so they sold Polygon in 1999 and sold it for a very high price. As a result, with the rise of the Internet, digital music will crowd out the traditional record market in a few years, exactly as Polygram's decision-makers predicted.

Kang Jianfei thought for a while, wrote down three English names, and said, "You are going to acquire a music company in the United States. The scale does not need to be too large. By the way, you can find these three girls."

"Beyoncé, Britney, Christina," Cheng Shengming glanced at him and smiled bitterly, "These three names are in the United States. There are not ten thousand but eight thousand. How do you ask me to find them?"

Kang Jianfei said: "Of course you have a little reputation, so you will be asked to look for it. I often went to the United States in the past few years, and I paid attention to these three girls, thinking they had great potential. Beyonce once joined a team called True Life. Britney and Christina are members of Disney's Mickey Mouse Club, the singing group of Tian Nu, and you can find out when you go to the United States to find out."

"That's good." Cheng Shengming breathed a sigh of relief. What he didn't expect was that among the three girls, Christina had just turned 15, while Beyonce and Britney were only 14, one younger than the other.

Kang Jianfei is also helpless. He is not familiar with American singers. In the mid-1990s, there are even fewer who have not debuted and are of the right age.

It may be due to luck. Cheng Shengming hired a private detective in the United States, and it took only one month to get the exact good news:

After the group disbanded ~lightnovelpub.net~, Beyonce first signed into Erica Records, but was abandoned by the company last year, so she had to return to her hometown sadly;

After the disbandment of mmc, Britney had no choice but to return to the small town to study in middle school. Now she has formed a student band at the school;

Christina's situation is slightly better. After mmc disbanded, she began to participate in recording demos, which could earn some living expenses and have the opportunity to be noticed by the record company. Last year, the song she recorded for Japanese singer Kei Nakanishi became a bestseller. But it doesn't help, the demo singer is not a singer at all, and it is difficult to have a bright future.

These three are all big singers who will be popular all over the world in the future. After Kang Jianfei got the news, he suddenly didn't know how to operate. Because they are too young now, many song styles are not suitable, and it is even more impossible for them to be **** and show off.

After thinking about it, Kang Jianfei decided to let the three of them form a group. After they are all 16 years old, they will be exhibited separately.

Haha, it's interesting to think about tying these three chicks together.

(To be continued.)
