Rising sun shines on Qinghe[Entertainment circle]

In the early morning, Fang Wenqing woke up in the Tang family villa.

The two-story villa of the Tang family was bought early, and it is located in a quiet high-end residential area in the third ring road of the city.

Because of inconvenient legs and feet, Fang Wenqing's room was on the first floor.After tidying himself up, he maneuvered his wheelchair to the restaurant and had breakfast with his family.

Today is Sunday, everyone is rarely leisurely.

Tang Shouxin, Fang Hua, and Tang Boyun chatted one after another, and Tang Shurui's childish words made everyone at the table smile knowingly from time to time.

"The current record industry is not easy to do..." After eating and drinking, Tang Shouxin began to repeat the same old tune.

Hearing this, Fang Hua patted him on the shoulder and said helplessly, "Don't say this in front of the children."

Tang Shouxin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, everyone can see this. Besides, they are all grown up, and Xiaoyun and Wenqing are both helping out in the company, so there's nothing wrong with it. As for Shurui, he should know that the world is going to be difficult."

Tang Shurui, who was already eight years old next to him, blinked his big smart eyes, and he didn't know how much he understood.

Fang Wenqing and Tang Boyun looked at each other, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Prosperous Tang Records was once a smash hit, delivering a large number of outstanding songs and singers to the Chinese music scene during the turn of the century.However, with the gradual rise and popularization of the Internet in the past ten years, piracy has also become increasingly rampant, and the physical record industry has gradually declined.

Four years ago, Space Culture, another giant in the recording industry, announced that it would no longer sign singers. After the existing singer contracts expired, the company would not renew their contracts. It completely abandoned the record business and transformed into a show business. Brokerage company, began to enter the film and television business.This decision brought a big blow to the already sluggish Chinese music scene.

Today, the transformation of space culture has achieved initial results, but Shengtang Records is still struggling because of the stubbornness of the helmsman Tang Shouxin, which makes the dissatisfaction of the company's shareholders even higher.The transformation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty seems to have become inevitable.

These days, it’s no longer profitable to release physical records, and the current physical sales are less than a fraction of what they were 20 years ago. The proportion of high-sung songs on the market seems to be getting lower and lower, let alone the entire music concept album with excellent quality. up.Many singers can only make money by relying on concerts and frequent commercial endorsements. Many people have used music as a springboard to move to film and television and variety shows. Those who act and sing are just doing small things to add to their talents. That's all.In an era of soaring movie box-office sales, record sales figures seem too meager.

The situation of digital records is not too optimistic. Consumers who are used to free music will only spend money on digital music if they really love singers and songs to a certain extent. Digital music sales by singers are also not what they used to be.

Most of the most popular songs on the market are film and television soundtracks, saliva songs released online for free, also known as brainwashing songs, and even songs that have become popular because of various talent shows or variety shows, and other new songs unless they have a fan base New works by old singers, or if you make great efforts to buy online promotion, you have to have a good level, otherwise it will be very difficult.

And even if the singer is popular, it doesn't help the record company's record turnover much. Most of them can only rely on the singer's brokerage appointment, his participation in commercial performances and major program appearance fees, and the share of endorsement fees to make money.

In the torrent of the entire era and market decline, it is too difficult for Shengtang to stand alone.In the past year, Tang Shouxin, who was alone and unable to support himself, finally let go, and Tang Boyun began to prepare for the business transformation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, in an attempt to get a share of the artist brokerage and the increasingly prosperous film and television market.However, the company will still retain the music-related business and continue to develop in the direction of digitalization. This is Tang Shouxin's bottom line.

In recent years, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty has been unable to make ends meet, and the financial accounts have become more and more unsightly. If it is not for the good foundation and the continuous release of good works in the music business, the Tang family may have sold the real estate they saved in the early years to fill the hole.Today, Shengtang is ambitious to expand its business, use all its own resources, make drastic internal transformation, and seek commercial mergers and acquisitions externally. The difficulty is not ordinary.Then, introducing other strong capital or merging with other complementary companies or replacing some resources is also an option.

For this reason, Tang Shouxin and Tang Boyun have been busy with the company recently, polishing and considering several plans, and the company's recent stock market is not stable, and they are quite anxious for a while.

It can be said that Tang Boyun's engagement is the only good news for the Tang family recently.

Seeing that the father and son chatted more and more deeply, Fang Hua shook his head, joined the discussion without any trace, and gradually diverted the topic to other places.

Tang Shouxin took a sip of the after-dinner tea brought to him by his wife, calmed down his mood, glanced at the dining table, found Fang Wenqing who was enjoying the coolness, and asked with a kind smile, "Ah Qing, do you want to release an album?" ah?"

A few years ago, Tang Shouxin asked Fang Wenqing this question. Since then, he would repeat the same old tune every once in a while, and Fang Wenqing has long been used to it.

He put down the teacup calmly, thought about it seriously, and shook his head again.

"Why, don't you like singing online very much?" Tang Shouxin asked again.

Fang Wenqing has been wearing a vest called "Heqing" since high school and released original songs on original online platforms such as 5sing and Ye Zi, and has accumulated many fans over the years.At the same time, he also met some friends in the circle, and began to be invited to order plot songs or EDs for some radio dramas. He first understood the plot, and then wrote lyrics and composed music by himself, accumulating a lot of practical experience in "proposition creation".Also because of my contact with the domestic radio drama circle, I played some roles from time to time. When I was interested, I even used my own all-in-one machine (as a planning screenwriter and director, and even created with ED in the later stage) to produce several radio dramas, which were very popular.It can be said that CV Heqing also has a lot of fame in the online distribution circle.Belonging to two circles on the Internet, he is a typical representative with qualifications, popularity, and superior strength and versatility. His voice has become the white moonlight in many people's hearts, and it is the reason why countless people have entered the pit.

Of course, Tang Shouxin and his wife have no concept of Fang Wenqing's influence in the Internet circle, they only know that his son likes to post original songs on the Internet, and they are happy to see the success.Ever since Fang Wenqing was in a car accident when he was ten years old, along with his parents' divorce, he had a low self-esteem and was reluctant to go out to meet people.After her mother married into the Tang family, her life gradually became stable and beautiful. With the encouragement and guidance of her family members, and the older she got, the more sensible she became. Most of them are netizens.

Fang Wenqing looked up at Tang Shouxin, and found that this time his stepfather was more serious than before.

Tang Shouxin is more than 50 years old, his hair is already gray, and there are fine lines around his eyes. He is a handsome and handsome middle-aged uncle. It is not difficult to see his handsome demeanor when he was young.At this moment, Tang Shouxin's eyes had a kind of helplessness after the vicissitudes of life. Thinking of him and the glorious past of Tang Dynasty, Fang Wenqing sighed in his heart.

release an album?This idea also flashed through the mind of the young Fang Wenqing, but every time he looked down and saw his legs flinch again.

To release an album and become a singer is not as simple as just singing out loud. No one knows this better than him who grew up in Tang's family.While helping young people realize their so-called musical dreams, it is still a business after all.Promotional activities, concerts, commercial performances, announcements, etc., in order to package a successful singer artist, the company has a whole team around him, and every time a singer is released, every time an album is produced For the company, it is an investment, or a gamble.Even if the conditions were as convenient as Fang Wenqing's, he didn't dare to pat his chest and promise that he would be popular when he debuted, how much he could achieve, how many fans he would attract, and how much profit he would create for the company.Even if his family is willing to spend money to let him play, Fang Wenqing himself is not willing.

On the contrary, as a disabled person, he will bring too much trouble and inconvenience to the company team, as well as accommodate and tolerate the boss's wife's son. It's good for people to create and write songs.He does not have too much desire and ambition to stand under the spotlight. Compared with the reality in front of the screen, he enjoys self-entertainment on the Internet, and the sense of accomplishment and freedom of being a magician behind the scenes.

"Father Tang, I'm fine now." Fang Wenqing said with a smile.

Tang Shouxin really wanted to release an album for Fang Wenqing, no one appreciated his stepson's musical talent more than him.But he understood Fang Wenqing's thoughts, and although he felt a little regretful from the bottom of his heart, he could only respect the child's decision.

"I don't know when we will be able to create a new king in the prosperous Tang Dynasty." Tang Shouxin sighed, his eyes were foggy, and he didn't know which memory he fell into again.

Seeing this, Fang Hua and Tang Boyun looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.Tang Shouxin is more like a sentimental musician than a businessman.

Perhaps, after Sheng Tang passed through the painful period of transformation, Tang Shouxin would be able to settle down.

A month later, a piece of news captured the headlines of entertainment news on major portal websites.

Haixu Media Group, which has emerged in Huaguo in recent years and mainly focuses on film and television and artist brokerage, has officially announced that it has held 51% of the shares of Shengtang Records, and has incorporated it into its subsidiary as a subsidiary responsible for the music business. Recently completed the integration of related business resources within the group, including a previously acquired music platform website and another record company. According to estimates, the integrated Haixu Records will become the largest record company in the Huaguo Chinese music scene, with one of the largest market shares.

Haixu has been coveting Shengtang for a long time. He secretly began to acquire shares and stock options of Shengtang as early as half a year ago. Seizing the opportunity to take advantage of the vacancy, he set up traps openly and secretly, and launched the final offensive in the stock market, finally seized the control of Shengtang in one fell swoop.

At first, the Tang family was caught off guard, and immediately mobilized the family's funds to make up for it and joined the stock purchase war. However, after a lot of hard work, they were still unable to recover, and later they could only accept the reality.In the end, the Tang family together held 45% of the shares of Shengtang Records, retiring to the second largest shareholder family of the company, while Haixu Media Group held 51% of the shares and had control over the company.

"Sheng Tang will have a brighter future." After the signing ceremony, the new helm of Sheng Tang Records said, holding Tang Shouxin's hand.

Tang Shouxin looked at the man in front of him who was confident, firm-eyed, and loud-toned. He still kept a polite smile on his face, but when he thought of the grand blueprint he had built for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, a wave of waves surged in his chest.

Noticing Tang Boyun's expression with sideways eyes, Tang Shouxin sighed, it really is the world of young people, let me, an old man, see what kind of towering tree the flourishing Tang in your hands will grow into.
