Superstars start from HK Entertainment

Chapter 501 Ni Zhen died!

At eight o'clock in the evening, He Jin met with Duan Zhongtan, the general manager of Rolling Stone Records, in a Western restaurant.

Rolling Stone Records basically knew what He Jin wanted to do.

Currently, China Star VCD and Sony VCD are competing fiercely in Taiwan.

In order to promote their VCD brands, the two sides engaged in a price war.

Today you drop one yuan and get a new record from a big singer. Tomorrow I drop two yuan and get another big star’s record.

The two sides were going back and forth, and it was a life-and-death situation.

Compared with Sony, China Star's biggest advantage over Sony is that it owns China Star Records' huge record copyright library, and relies on He Jin to appear in programs and activities from time to time to promote China Star VCD.

However, this advantage was okay in the early stage, but as time went by, this advantage gradually decreased.

After all, Huaxing's copyrighted records are just some old songs. Perhaps the trend of VCD can attract consumers' attention for a while, but if they want to defeat Sony because of this, it is obviously too simple.

The Rolling Stones have already received news that He Jin is working on their copyright library and wants to get the VCD printing rights for the Rolling Stones' records.

If we win, we will naturally be able to copy China Star’s model of using records to drive VCDs.

When international record companies began to enter the market on a large scale, both companies knew very well that if they did not want to be defeated by Warner and other record companies, they had to work together to fight each other.

“With our copyright, they still can’t learn?”

What China Star lacks now is a promotion platform. If this music channel is successful, China Star's shortcomings will immediately turn into advantages.

But everyone knows that he must be extremely regretful now.

The second thing is to reach a cooperative relationship with the Rolling Stones to compete with Warner and other record companies.

In addition to EMI, Warner, PolyGram, and BMG Records, which have already become giants in Asia, international giants such as Sony have also begun to expand their presence in Asia.

Duan Jiatan looked like you were wrong and we will give it to them.

But relatively speaking, compared with singers' songs owned by Warner and other record companies, the treatment they receive is completely different.

The only two local companies left in the Chinese music scene have begun to cooperate casually.

Run Run Shaw was robbed by He Jin.

Since the 1990s, the recording industry throughout Asia and even the world has flourished.

This is something that everyone who knows the inside story of Huaxing's acquisition has been saying since this year.

But their current strength is not enough to replicate this method.

Currently, there are only a few companies with huge copyright libraries in the Chinese music scene.

He Jin leaned back and smiled.

…

"Please say!"

"I know, but I think it would be better for the Rolling Stones to cooperate with China Star than with Sony. Sony is indeed a big group. In the West, Sony Records, owned by Sony, is also extremely powerful.

Throughout the 1990s, Sony Records boldly introduced Western pop music elements such as R&B. From the first signing of Hu Chengqing to the later Coco Lee, Ke Yimin, and Wang Leehom, they all adhered to the international music route without exception.

Printing rights, that is to say, I authorize my company's songs to be printed by your company, so that you can put the Huaxing manufacturing logo on the VCD records.

Moreover, in the past year, foreign record companies have increased their investment in Asia.

"This old guy! Aren't you sad?"

Sony Records' start in Asia originated from Sony Columbia Music Co., Ltd. established in Taipei.

When He Jin acquired Huaxing, he could directly package the company, artists and copyrights with 80.5 million.

Being a bodyguard is not as easy as being a boss.

This music channel has started broadcasting this year.

Just like vinyl records, record companies need to find manufacturers to print already recorded songs.

On the 29th, at three o'clock in the afternoon, He Jin's plane landed in Xiangjiang.

Ahu, a Guangxi native and a veteran of the Vietnam War, is a tall man with a height of 1.97 meters and is covered with muscles.

It is not easy for both parties to negotiate well at one time.

In the airport passage, Xiaoping answered a phone call and said solemnly.

He Jin paused slightly, "What did the media say?"

I didn't expect to be found so quickly.

Duan Jiatan looked at He Jin and said.

Moreover, there are still many details that need to be communicated about the cooperation between the two parties. Therefore, it will take at least next year for the two parties to really reach a cooperation.

At the same time, after he gave Xiao Jiang and Asheng the two million each, they were already millionaires and felt that there was no need to continue working hard. After that, they resigned and became bosses.

Duan Jiatan smiled and extended his hand to He Jin.

However, we don’t plan to cooperate with PolyGram, we want to cooperate with you, and we will build a music promotion channel together.”

He Jin didn't stop.

"What's wrong!"

“PolyGram proposed to us in April that it would like to unite you and our company to establish a music channel among the three companies.

What He Jin needs is not new records, he wants old songs from the Rolling Stones copyright library.

Last year, before VCDs became popular, copyright prices were extremely low.

The Taiwan agency for He Jin and Zhou Huimin's "We Got Married" was Rolling Stone.

The two jointly founded a Jiangsheng Security Company.

The price of song copyrights last year is different from what it is today.

The two of them heard that Warner, BMG and other record companies had joined forces with Star Media to establish a music channel.

However, as a boss, he does not need to do these things.

He Jin told Ah Hu.

The next day, He Jin asked Tang Zhengchuan to arrange for people to contact and negotiate with the Rolling Stones.

He Jin thought for a moment and nodded.

There is no way, although Warner and other companies are major enemies, there is also a competitive relationship between China Star and Rolling Stone.

VCDs have only been around for a year, and many songs from record companies with huge copyright libraries like the Rolling Stones do not have VCD versions.

But if He Jin had not acquired it at that time and had only acquired it this year, the price would have been tens of millions more, not to mention doubling.

Xiaoping said as she took out a mask from her bag and put it on.

"Something happened, there may be many reporters blocking you!"

But now, when people's acceptance is not high, Sony Columbia Records' power in the entire Chinese music scene is not enough.

A dedicated music channel can imagine the promotion of songs.

Sony wants to copy He Jin's approach and use records to drive the development of VCD. This is indeed a good approach.

Therefore, they usually hand over their records to similar factories for printing, and then they distribute the printed records to those agents.

She spends time with He Jin every day and is known to many reporters and fans, so she also needs to cover up.

Duan Jiatan sat up straight and said seriously.

As for PolyGram, don't even think about it, it owns Philips, a record machine and printing factory.

But the money you have to pay is a lot.

As for him, he took the opportunity to leave Taiwan the next afternoon.

Although this kind of prosperity is somewhat similar to Japan's bubble economy, which will suddenly burst one day, it has also attracted the attention of Western record companies to a great extent.

Of course, you can also take it all at once and eat it yourself.

In addition, Ni Kuang held a press conference half an hour ago."

"Haha! Happy cooperation!"

It is different from Huaxing.

What He Jin wants is them. After he obtains the printing copyright of these songs, he can print these songs into VCDs and then bundle them with VCD machines for sale.

Although Xiaojiang has recovered from the injury he suffered last time, the injury caused his skill to drop a bit.

He came for two things, the first was the right to print.

But in Asia, they've just logged in, they can't learn from me."

He Jin opened his mouth and said.

Duan Jiatan said.

The former belongs to the latter, but the latter does not belong to the former.

######

"I don't think your company would do this kind of behavior of capitalizing on the enemy."

Sony Columbia is backed by Sony, and the company is in Taiwan.

He was friends with Xiao Jiang, and after Xiao Jiang left, he recommended him to be his personal bodyguard.

"We agree to hand over the printing rights to you, but we have a condition."

In Asia, it would be fine if it were Japan and Korea. In Chinese-speaking areas, there are only a few people who listen to English songs.

If one record is sold, China Star Records will definitely have to pay the Rolling Stones a certain amount of money.

After Ni Zhen was exposed, he fled.

We thought about it for a long time and thought it was feasible.

Duan Jiatan smiled.

"Haha, you are right!"

"Can!"

"We intend to establish a close cooperative relationship with you Huaxing."

At the same price, given the circumstances and reasons, Rolling Stone would not do anything to capitalize on its enemies.

Sony's Sony Columbia does not have these two factors.

He Jin's eyes flashed.

"I know, I will hire more people as soon as possible!"

Xinli Columbia Music Co., Ltd. was established in 1992, later than other giant record companies.

Xiaoping said and glanced at He Jin.

"Three hours ago, news came from Mexico that Ni was shocked!"

"Mr. Duan, I won't beat around the bush and get straight to the point. I want your company's VCD record printing rights."

If he can leave quietly, He Jin definitely hopes to leave quietly.

After he had finished drinking and eating, He Jin spoke directly.

"How to cooperate?"

This guy was quite famous in the underground world of Xiangjiang before.

He Jin did not agree immediately. He wanted to hear what the other party had to say.

He Jin smiled and started to put on a mask. At the same time, he took a piece of clothing from the bodyguard Ahu and changed as he walked.

The two of them greeted each other first and then had something to eat.

"Sony approached us and also wanted the VCD printing rights for the songs in our company's copyright library."

Especially since this year, VCD has been successfully developed. Although piracy has become popular, it is also because of rampant piracy that music has spread to every corner of Asia, which has greatly made the record industry more prosperous.

But he didn't expect that before he mentioned this issue, the other party actually mentioned it first.

Therefore, He Jin approved their resignation and found a new bodyguard.

As for EMI and BMG, don't even think about it. These companies are now Sony's major enemies in Europe and the United States. How can they be enemies?

Coupled with the good quality of records by Meng Tingwei, Peng Ling, Lin Zhixuan and others, Sony's record business began to take shape in the late 1990s.

He Jin and Zheng Donghan decided together to establish a music channel among the three record companies.

Moreover, Rolling Stone itself is a local company, and the songs in its copyright library are almost all Chinese songs.

People are all like this, they want to go to higher places.

Sony's record copyright library is definitely larger than that of China Star. After all, it is an international giant.

Although Huaxing currently has distribution channels in Taiwan, it is not involved in other businesses.

"The newspapers haven't come out yet, but many media have come to the airport to block you. They probably want to find some news from you.

He Jin and Duan Jiatan know each other well and have interacted with each other at many large-scale events and gatherings.

At that time, Zheng Donghan was still the president of PolyGram.

So it is very necessary to cover up.

He has long been accustomed to being blocked by reporters, so it doesn't make a big fuss about being blocked by reporters.

Therefore, currently, the only company in the entire Chinese music scene that has the opportunity to obtain the copyright to VCD records is Rolling Stone.

But their copyrighted songs are mostly European and American music.

Duan Jiatan put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

Record printing rights are not record copyrights.

As for Xinli Columbia, they plan to take root in Taiwan.

His current bodyguards are no longer Xiao Jiang and Ah Sheng.

He is now He Jin's bodyguard.

"Since Mr. Duan came to talk to me today, it means you don't want to give them the copyright. Naturally, they can't learn from it."

Duan Jiatan said with a half-smile.

So naturally they cannot use their own copyright library songs and can only target other record companies.

He is the champion of the underground boxing competition Kowloon Boxing Champion Cup and is known as the Kowloon Boxing Champion.

In the past year, the two parties had talked several times about cooperation, but they had not reached an agreement.

No need to think about UFO, it has already become Warner Bros.

"It's just the right to print records. Why can't we give it to them?"

He Jin didn't have any objections to the two of them quitting their jobs after they got rich.

Run Run Shaw has not said this in public.

Cooperation with the Rolling Stones cannot be accomplished overnight.

In the past life, looking at the entire Chinese music scene, Sony Records has become the well-deserved ace boss with its strong strength and golden lineup of many Chinese first-line singers.

He Jin smiled.

"Ahu, you may have to follow me recently. In addition, the team needs to find a few more people."

How do you know what Duan Jiatan is talking about?

Of course, the above is about the new album.

He Jin has always cherished his life.

Therefore, when He Jin interviewed them, they immediately made various preparations.

In addition, they were different from the mainstream Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music at the time. Sony Records used a Westernized music route to hit the Chinese market.

He Jin's Huaxing VCD can use records to drive the sales of VCD machines, relying on Huaxing Records' huge copyright library and He Jin's own appeal.

Entering the Chinese music scene with Western pop music has indeed given them a solid foundation.

Ahu nodded.

Currently, songs by singers from record companies such as China Star and Rolling Stone can also be uploaded to this music channel.

The same goes for VCD. Not every record company has its own printing factory, but Rolling Stone does not.

He himself knows everything about Ni Zhen.

Besides him, there are also many Ni Kuangs.

My son died. If I didn't take action, He Jin would never believe it.

Therefore, he had to be careful.
