Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

This guy Lee Soo Man is not honest!

This was Zhou Ziheng's only thought.

Judging from his way of cooperation, both parties are obviously cooperating on an equal footing.

But the premise of all this is that the strength of both companies is equal.

SM company was indeed very powerful in the future. Almost 70 to 80 percent of Korean idols came from this company.

but now.

It's now completely a little Karami.

SM Company was established only last year, but so far, it has neither money nor people.

The only artist in the company is the group Boa, and the group only debuted in June this year and has not made it big in Korea.

And what about Zhou Ziheng’s Hengdong Records!

Hengdong Records now has a large number of employees and has certain distribution channels in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Singers under its banner, such as He Jin and Li Wen, have considerable influence in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau.

Of course, cooperation is not all about mutual strength, but also about whether it is beneficial to both parties.

The fact is, if Zhou Ziheng cooperates according to what Lee Soo-man said, there will be no benefit at all.

First of all, SM company has no strength in Korea at all now.

By cooperating with Hengdong, how can it guarantee the interests of Hengdong Records in South Korea?

On the contrary, if SM company cooperates with Zhou Ziheng's company in the Chinese region, its resources and channels can be said to be S-level.

It can be said that this kind of cooperation is of no benefit to Hengdong at all.

The car drove very fast and soon returned to the hotel where Zhou Ziheng was staying.

After getting off the car, Zhou Ziheng asked Lee Soo Man about the cooperation plan again.

In fact, I wanted to give him a chance and see if he had any backup plans.

But the result was not satisfactory, and Lee Soo-man had no backup plan.

It seemed like this guy just thought Zhou Ziheng was young and came here to test the waters.

After understanding his intention, Zhou Ziheng was too lazy to continue chatting with him. He said a few perfunctory words and sent him out of the hotel on the pretext that he had something to do.

However, although the cooperation with Lee Soo Man's SM company was not reached.

But Lee Soo-man's arrival gave Zhou Ziheng an idea.

Hengdong Records has been established for quite some time.

Overall, the record company still made money, but it did not meet Zhou Ziheng's expectations.

There is no way, this is mainly because his energy is limited and he does not put time into expanding the record company.

But now, the appearance of Lee Soo-man has provided Zhou Ziheng with an idea that he thinks is feasible.

Why can Korean Wave invade China, but Chinese Wave cannot invade South Korea?

Boy band!

To be honest, this is indeed a way to bring Chinese culture to the world.

I can definitely turn Hengdong Records into an idol creation base.

SM company can mass-produce boy and girl groups, so they can do it too!

By then, even if it cannot enter other markets, it can be used to counter the invasion of Korean Wave.

In fact, Fahrenheit did a very good job in this regard in its previous life.

This group is the only one in Asia that can compete with Korean boy bands after 05.

This is because several members of Fahrenheit sang out of tune and danced funny.

If they were more professional and had a few good songs, Zhou Ziheng felt that it would not be difficult to set up a copycat group.

Of course you have to invest some money upfront.

He did it as soon as he thought of it. After returning to the room, Zhou Ziheng immediately called Huo Wenxi.

Let her start planning the training of trainees.

This is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

If you want to form a mature boy band, your singing and dancing skills must be strong.

And this is not something that can be achieved in just one or two months.

It will take at least one or two years. In addition, training instructors is also a problem.

You must have a professional training instructor to provide training, otherwise it will be in vain.

As for the training instructor, Zhou Ziheng already has an idea, he can invite one from Japan.

He is learning from SM company.

When Lee Soo Man's SM company was first established, the instructors and other personnel were actually Japanese.

After all, compared to Korean and Chinese boy bands which are still in the exploratory stage, Japan has already mastered the boy band game as early as the 1970s and 1980s.

Moreover, one thing we have to admit is that there are indeed many talented people in this area in Japan.

……

Zhou Ziheng doesn't have to worry about training trainees and forming boy and girl groups in the future.

Florence Hui is a good housekeeper and she can handle all these matters.

In the next few days, Zhou Ziheng began to focus on the selection of awards for the Golden Disc Awards.

In the end, the people selected for the award were very similar to Zhou Ziheng's own ideas.

The final nominee for the Golden Disc Awards was indeed Kim Gun-mo.

Then the more important SKC Popular Singer Award was won by a singer named Kim Jong-hwan.

As for the rest...

To be honest, Zhou Ziheng didn't pay much attention.

After finishing the Golden Disc Awards selection, Zhou Ziheng did not participate in the subsequent award ceremony, but returned to Guangzhou the day after the awards were announced by the judges.

Compared to participating in awards, he now pays more attention to his own records.

This album was indeed delayed for a long time due to various things.

Now it's not just the Pacific Ocean that has objections.

Even the Asian distributor Emi has some complaints.

There is no way. If he delays any further, his concert will be postponed.

Concerts are big events.

After his dozens of concerts, in addition to the ticket fees, the various amounts involved were at least over 200 million.

With such a huge amount of money involved, Emi is of course anxious.

After returning to Guangzhou, Zhou Ziheng no longer cared about other things. Even when "The Ring" finally closed in Hong Kong with a high box office of 36 million, and the company held a celebration party, he did not go, but focused on making records.

At this time, his record production also entered the middle stage.

The MV shooting is completed, and after some post-production, the album will be almost finished.

However, these two steps are also the most troublesome.

This time, we shot ten MVs instead of just a few as in the previous ones.

This involves quite a few shooting dates.

In the later stage, this is the most important process in making a record.

Therefore, Zhou Ziheng did not dare to be careless at all.

If you are careless, the quality of the entire album will decline.

Zhou Ziheng now has a good reputation as a singer.

Fans all know that the records he releases must be high-quality records, and they are all already saving money.

If he messes up and ruins the quality of the record, he will be the one to be embarrassed.

It was his own sign that was smashed.

He still wants to stay in the music industry for a few more years. If he destroys his reputation now, it would be a huge loss.

Throughout October, Zhou Ziheng has been busy shooting MVs.

Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Gigi Leung and even Ruby Lin, these MV heroines came one after another and left one after another.

Finally, it was the beginning of November and the MV for this album was coming to an end, with only one MV, "Fragrance of Flowers", left to be filmed.

The heroine of the MV of this song is none other than Lin Chi-ling.
