Rebirth 1981 starts with saving the sisters from the neighboring village.

Since the last Voice of Hong Kong ended, PolyGram has organized resources to fight back hard, and with Principal Tan's new album "Late Spring", it once again topped the best-selling album list.

If we want to talk about the top figures in the Chinese music scene in the 80s, there must be a place for Principal Tan.

Yes, the same Principal Tan who was in his 70s and went to your province with Duolong to play in the village super league.

He has created many popular musical works that have been widely praised by the public.

The album "Belated Spring" was released on April 4 this year in order to suppress the morale of Red Star Records.

It contains many pretty good songs, including "Shadow", "Only You in My Heart", "Little Coral", "Phantom", "God of Wealth from Heaven", "Strong Grass in the Wind", "Late Spring", etc. .

As soon as it was released, "Belated Spring" was shining brightly!

It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time and didn't shine for two days.

Red Star Records then released a long-prepared new album, Chen Baiqiang's "I Just Like You" to compete in the arena.

You must know that Chen Baiqiang has two strongest albums in history, and this album is one of them!

Once this album was released, it instantly surpassed "Late Spring" and became popular throughout Hong Kong.

It can even be said that he knocked Principal Tan's new album to the ground.

Historically, Principal Tan's "Belated Spring" album originally achieved five-platinum sales, but now, due to Chen Baiqiang's strong impact, it has not even reached three-platinum sales.

All I can say is miserable!

And with his reputation as the winner of The Voice, the album "I Just Like You" has sold ten platinum copies in one month.

In terms of strength, both sides are actually about the same. The album quality of "I Just Like You" is only one or two tiers higher than "Late Spring".

But Red Star is even better at running the show. The concert was in full swing and the good voice with the participation of all people made Chen Baiqiang red!

Ordinary people think that Chen Baiqiang is the top singer. Coupled with his handsome appearance, his popularity is not just a little bit higher than Principal Tan, but ridiculous.

There are hundreds of new fans not only in the Xiangjiang area, but also in Macao, Baodao, and even Southeast Asia.

If the public is now asked to choose the most popular male singer again, Chen Baiqiang deserves to be ranked first.

Good fortune and misfortune never come singly, just one month after PolyGram faced the impact of Chen Baiqiang's new album.

On June 6, Anita Mui released her new album "Red".

The runner-up on The Voice and the most popular female singer has kept her hot, and her new album has sold five times platinum!

If Red Star Records is like a gravedigger, "I Just Like You" beats PolyGram so hard that he holds his head in his hands and doesn't know how to fight back.

And "Red" kicked the crippled PolyGram into the grave.

It can be said that Chen and Mei’s two albums were extremely popular in the first half of the year!

"Wanhua, this is the sales of our new album."

That night, Qin Wanqiu sent a report to Peng Wanhua.

Peng Wanhua flipped through it, which recorded the sales of all records so far.

After glancing at it twice, I put it down.

"I received the books you sent last time. They are all very good. Thank you."

Peng Wanhua remembered the last time Qin Wanqiu came to the capital from Xiangjiang, and expressed his gratitude.

"A little thing."

Qin Wanqiu smiled.

Peng Wanhua nodded slightly, "You are doing very well so far, but we will have new actions this year."

After thinking about it, I decided to give my opponent some more punches and control the top of the food chain in the music field.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wanqiu immediately took out a small notebook and started taking notes.

Peng Wanhua: "We have to start rebuilding the top system of the entire music industry."

"For example?" Qin Wanqiu asked.

"Do you know the top ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards in Hong Kong?"

"Of course, this is a music event hosted by Xiangjiang Radio Station and co-organized by the Composers and Lyrics Association. It has been held since 1978."

“Well, the next step is to have an awards event like this and go beyond that.”

"This..." Qin Wanqiu hesitated. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer.

To be honest, she felt that Peng Wanhua was a little fanciful, but since he was her boss, she couldn't say it clearly.

"What are you worried about?" Peng Wanhua asked.

"Frankly speaking, the top ten Chinese hits in Hong Kong have been around for a long time, and the other party is co-organized by the Lyricists Association, Composers Association, and the Hong Kong Record Chamber of Commerce. If we hold a similar selection, can the effect be better than the other party?"

Qin Wanqiu expressed her worries.

"Oh, is that really the case?" Peng Wanhua smiled slightly, as if he had a plan in mind, "Who sets the standard for whether a piece of music is good or not? Is it the judges who determine whether a piece of music is good or not? You agree, but I don't -

so……"

"So, you're going to do a universal audition like The Voice?"

Qin Wanqiu reacted instantly like a sudden enlightenment and understood Peng Wanhua's operating mode.

"Yes." Peng Wanhua nodded, "This time our model basically replicates the voice of Hong Kong and allows the whole people to participate."

Compared with the rankings selected by a few gentlemen, which one is more convincing and which one is more in line with the people's wishes is the ranking voted by the audience.

This needs no further explanation.

"Wonderful!"

Qin Wanqiu kept clapping her hands, thus avoiding her opponent's weak points and bringing the people to her side. She couldn't help but admire Peng Wanhua's head.

Now there are record companies, artist managers, good voice programs, plus award ceremonies, which is equivalent to controlling the entire industry chain.

"Well, I plan to set up two awards. One is called Asia's Top Ten Chinese Platinum Record Awards. The threshold for entry is record sales. If you don't have a platinum record, don't join in the fun.

The other is called the Most Popular Male and Female Singer of the Year Award in the Chinese music industry. This one has higher requirements, and the entry threshold is ten platinums. We don’t have any judges, all votes come from the people. "

Peng Wanhua told Qin Wanqiu his thoughts.

In fact, if we follow the historical process, next year in 1984, Xiangjiang TV Broadcasting will also hold the Hong Kong Top Ten Golden Melody Awards and the Xiangjiang Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards.

Different from the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs in Hong Kong, the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs in Xiangjiang also awards awards for the most popular male and female singers in Hong Kong. The winners will be regarded as the kings and queens of the Hong Kong music scene.

The two awards created by Peng Wanhua are higher than the above two awards at first glance.

What are the top ten Chinese hits in Hong Kong? This is two levels lower than the Asian Chinese platinum album.

Who are the most popular male and female singers in Hong Kong? At first glance, it is several times lower than the most popular male and female singers in the Chinese music scene!

Peng Wanhua raised his style to the highest possible level from the very beginning, so that others could not plagiarize even if they wanted to.

If your opponent launches another worldwide plan, who will recognize it?

Of course, the most critical implementation is if there is no name but no one participates, it will be a slap in the face.

"Okay, I understand, I'll go make plans now."

Qin Wanqiu took a small notebook and wrote it down.

With the precedent of The Voice of Hong Kong, she already had a relatively clear idea of ​​how to hold these two award ceremonies.

Just copy it.

"Well, we also called each team to notify them of the mid-year meeting. Except for those who are too far away to come back, everyone else must attend."

Peng Wanhua said to her.

"Ok."

……

In the first half of 83, Red Star Records was like a dark horse, running rampant, knocking PolyGram aside, and then riding away.

Hongxing lived a prosperous life, while PolyGram lived a miserable life.

In the general manager’s office of PolyGram.

Mr. Zheng was still furious.

After spending so much money to release an album, only to have it stutter as soon as it started, and all the investment in advertising went to waste, who could bear it?

Principal Tan below looked blank, as if he had released a new album.

But except for the strong sales in the first two days, it was just struggling to survive.

When I think about it carefully, it feels like it's not coming out.

Who am I provoking?

Suddenly, Principal Tan thought of a good idea. If you can't beat it, join in. How about I go over and give it a try?
