Rebirth of the Tech Madman

　　 There are many record companies in Hong Kong, both local and foreign. It is not an exaggeration to describe it by Jiang Zhiqing, and the most powerful international operation is Polygram.

As the most famous and largest record company in the world in this century, Polygram has the longest history. It can be traced back to the Deutsche Grammophon Company, Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft, which is often abbreviated as DGG, but more It was called DG at that time.

　　 In 1898, the German inventor of disc records, Emil Belliner, Emil Berliner and his brother Joseph, founded DG in their hometown of Hamburg.

　　 Prior to this, Bellina had applied for patents for phonographs and records, and established the British phonograph company, the predecessor of EMI, in London, and DG was a subsidiary of its subsidiary.

　　 In 1914, the First World War broke out and Britain and Germany fought. Germany confiscated the British-owned DG company. Since then, the DG company has been separated from the London parent company and started to operate independently.

　　 In the 1920s and 1930s, DG established another Polydor brand that released records abroad.

　　 When the German Nazis came to power, DG's business was greatly affected, and finally declared bankruptcy in 1937.

　　 In the 1940s, Germany's Siemens and Hask Electric acquired DG and renamed it Polydor International.

In 1949, Polydor launched the famous yellow tulip plaque trademark and wrote "DeutscheGrammophon", which is a German gramophone. Therefore, most consumers are still used to calling its DG, but are relatively new to Polydor, and the trademark has become a classical music lover The most famous brand identity mark in our minds.

　　 In 1962, Siemens of Germany and Philips of the Netherlands merged DG and Philips under the two companies to form the DGG/PPI Group.

In 1972, the two record companies of DG and Philips were officially merged and named "PolyGramInternational", which was composed of the "poly" of "Polydor" and the "gram" of "Phonogram", which formed a transnational company headquartered in London. Enterprise—Polygram Group, but the brands of DG and Philips remain unchanged.

　　 It can be seen that PolyGram plays more of the role of a company name, and the musicians under its name are used by DG, Polydor, and Philips when publishing works.

　　 DG, founded by the inventor of disc records, has always played an important role in the development of record technology. It officially launched the first batch of LP, compact records, in 1951, and began recording records with stereo technology in 1958.

　　 After the merger, the Polygram Group helped Philips invent and create cassette tapes in the 1970s. At this stage, it has begun to actively promote a new record format—CD.

　　 Tang Huan is letting his subordinates develop sound cards for microcomputers to reserve for personal computer multimedia platforms. Naturally, he is more concerned about Polygram, which develops various technologies behind the scenes.

　　 What's more, Deng Lijun also has a contract relationship with Hong Kong PolyGram and Japan PolyDor.

　　Under the influence of these factors, Tang Huan and PolyGram had been in contact for a long time, and the release of the album was handed over to Xiangjiang PolyGram.

　　 The other party showed enthusiasm and took the initiative to send someone to help, but Tang Huan felt that he was just a gamer, so it would be better to keep a low profile.

　　 So Tang Huan made it clear, "Seeing that the New Year is about to come, you are also very busy, don't bother too much, just arrange a person to come, it is best to be younger, so that there is no pressure when you communicate.".

　　 As a result, the next day, Tang Huan couldn't help being happy when he saw the young man sent by Polygram. The other party turned out to be younger than himself.

　　 This helper was a little embarrassed and took the initiative to introduce himself, "Mr. Tang, hello, my name is Xiang Xuehuai."

　　 Tang Huan looked at each other up and down, took the initiative to shake hands with him, and asked, "Your original name is Chen Jianhe, right?"

　　 "How did Mr. Tang know?" Xiang Xuehuai asked in surprise.

"I heard that Xu Guanjie appreciates your talent for writing words very much. Xiangjiang's circle is so big, so I naturally heard it." Tang Huan smiled and greeted each other to get in the car, and at the same time, he thought to himself that Polygram is still very serious, don't look at it. People are young, but their strength should not be underestimated.

　　 Xiang Xuehuai worked in the Polygram recording studio when he was still studying electronic engineering in 1977. His genius for writing words was discovered during this period, and Xu Guanjie was recommended to the senior management of Polygram, and he entered the music world from then on.

　　 Since 1978, Xiang Xuehuai has had record collaborations with Chen Qiuxia and Teddy Robin respectively.

　　 Following the historical trajectory, the famous Xiangjiang singers with whom he cooperated are all famous for a while, including Chen Baiqiang, Alan Tam, Jacky Cheung, Liming, Hacken Lee, Xu Xiaofeng, Li Ruien, Peng Ling, Grasshopper and so on.

　　 In addition, Xiang Xuehuai also entered the senior record company. From 1985 to 1997, he served as the record producer and director of the artist production department of PolyGram.

　　 In short, Xiang Xuehuai is now a talent with unlimited potential. For DreamWorks, which is still empty, it is really the best goal to win first.

　　 However, Tang Huan is not in a hurry. After observing for a period of time, side businesses like DreamWorks can develop step by step. It will not be too late for Deng Lijun to finalize the detailed comeback plan for this year.

　　 "Have you heard the arrangement, how do you feel about this record?" Tang Huan asked casually.

　　 "I have heard that Zhang Delan's DEMO has also come out. Only in terms of the quality of lyrics and music, it is very good, but I don't dare to make a judgment about whether it can sell well." Xiang Xuehuai answered cautiously.

　　 Tang Huan smiled lightly, "It's okay, don't stress, I'm just playing tickets, and I'm very open-minded."

"In addition, there are only eight songs in the entire album, and the number is a little too small. Only EPs can be released. This may also be a disadvantage." Xiang Xuehuai continued to analyze, "But the ingenious Peking Opera style can certainly cater to some people. Taste."

　　EP stands for ExtendedPlay, which is called mini album in Chinese, and is a form of music distribution between singles and albums.

　　 In the usual sense, a single is generally recognized as containing 1 to 3 tracks; while an EP usually contains 5 to 8 tracks. Nevertheless, this number of tracks is still not enough to release the record as an album.

　　 This is the situation currently facing Tang Huan.

　　 "Okay, as long as you can sell a few copies, that's enough, it's really not good, I secretly buy a few for myself." Tang Huan's joke made several people in the car burst into laughter.

　　 When he arrived at the recording studio, Tang Huan met Li Xiaotian and Zhang Delan who had been waiting there long ago.

　　 Tang Huan originally planned to continue to find Gu Jiahui to arrange the music, but the other party politely refused because he was too busy to get away recently, but in fact TVB secretly applied the pressure. Tang Huan was very upset about this stinginess.

　　 TVB has Gu Jiahui and Huang Zhan, and Li Xiaotian and Lu Guozhan on Li Xiaotian.

　　 So, Tang Huan, who doesn't really need to be honest, still has many choices, so he came to Li Xiaotian with wicked fun.

　　 In the original time and space, due to the successive changes of Li's TV equity, the prospects are unknown. Li Xiaotian switched to TVB's Huaxing in 1982, and successively praised Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, Lu Fang and others.

　　 But at this time and space, Li's TV has not changed ownership, and Li Xiaotian is still staying on Li's TV.

　　 Li Xiaotian, who is in his thirties this year, can be said to have a family history. His father is the composer Li Caotian, his mother is the writer Yang Lijun, and his younger sister is the modern dance choreographer Li Haining.

　　 And he himself went to study in the UK when he was 16 years old. Since the 1960s, he has served as the foreman of the orchestra. After winning the third place in the first TVB "Composition Invitational" in 1973, he began to compose and arrange.

Li Xiaotian and lyricist Lu Guozhan arranged many TV drama theme songs for Lai in the 1970s. Among them, "Ceremonial Change" and "Drama Life" were selected as one of the top ten Chinese golden songs. Together with the brilliant yellows of the same period, Gu Jiahui and Huang Dip side by side.

　　 Tang Huan invited Li Xiaotian, a veteran, to arrange for himself. It might not be that he slapped TVB, which currently has a cooperative relationship, and reminded him not to think that he monopolized all resources.

　　 Li Xiaotian can be regarded as versatile. He became a movie star at the age of 5. He joined Li's TV in 1975 and hosted the variety show "Kayan and Oda" with Xue Jiayan and released a record.

　　 At an ATV celebration in a previous life, Li Xiaotian was also playing soy sauce in the Huangmei Opera "Xiaofeng" performed by Teresa Teng and Xu Xiaofeng, sweeping the floor in the background, which was extremely funny.

　　 Therefore, Li Xiaotian is very easy to deal with. Tang Huan chatted with him for a while before joking with each other.

　　 Compared with Li Xiaotian's sophistication, Zhang Delan, who has just reached 21, looks very quiet and shy. Tang Huan is the first time to see this young girl who can occupy a place in the early Cantonese music scene.

　　 After talking with Zhang Delan for a few words, and after listening to the demo of the other party, Tang Huan was deeply satisfied.

　　 Thanks to his rich performance experience since childhood, Zhang Delan is not ignorant of Peking opera, but in terms of his own ability, it is quite enough.

　　 According to Tang Huan's plan, this record will take three to four days to complete.

　　 The actual progress is also the same. Don't even look at Tang Huan as an amateur singer, but he didn't hold back his work at all, which surprised and admired others.

"Tang Sheng is very talented in music. Why don't you take advantage of this advantage to invest in the entertainment industry and try the water? Anyway, you are young and more money, and don't care about temporary gains or losses." During lunch, Li Xiaotian Suggest with a smile.

　　 You know what I am doing. Brother is planning to buy your Dongjiali TV before the end of this year.

Tang Huan smiled secretly in his heart, and nodded solemnly on the surface, "I do have this intention. I have registered an entertainment company and are gradually developing this business, but at present, I mainly serve myself. If Teacher Li has time, Why not come as a consultant and give some advice."

　　 "As long as Tang Sheng doesn't dislike me, I'm so inexperienced, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is of course willing to help." Li Xiaotian agreed happily.

　　 Xiangjiang is a material society, after all, Li Xiaotian finally meets a benefactor like Tang Huan, so naturally he will not give up the opportunity to make extra money. In his opinion, Tang Huan is just playing tickets, and work must be very easy.

　　 "Xuehuai Xiang, Delan Zhang, if your time permits, you can also take a part-time job in my company. An extra salary is always good." Tang Huan also threw an olive branch to the two young men.

　　 Xiang Xuehuai smiled and nodded, but the good girl Zhang Delan showed embarrassment on her face, "I signed to Eternal Records, and it's always not good to run on both sides."

　　 "It's troublesome, I can come forward to help you terminate the contract, and then go to my company to concentrate on development." Tang Huancai said boldly: "I have already thought out a new set of singer packaging methods for you."

　　 Tang Huan is not talking empty words. Deng Lijun must take an international path. The resources of DreamWorks in Hong Kong are not fully used, and it is entirely possible to have a local Cantonese singer.

　　 Compared to female singers such as Xu Xiaofeng and Zhen Ni, Zhang Delan, who is relatively junior, is undoubtedly a good candidate. Moreover, she can be cultivated as the first generation of female singers in accordance with the positioning given by the good people in the previous life.

　　 Zhang Delan blushed, and replied awkwardly, "I need to think about it."

　　 Li Xiaotian chuckled and squeezed his eyes, "Tang Sheng, you are too eager to scare the little girl."

　　 "You are an old and disrespectful fellow, pay attention to keeping your word." Tang Huan cursed with a smile, and said that he wants to train a female singer, how can you think so wretched.
