I am the fifth king

Chapter 293 The Development History of the Five Great Kings

"We can strive for a shorter shooting time."

Said to the boss.

This period of time is when He Jin's popularity is at its highest.

A high popularity means that there is a box office. The meaning of the boss is obvious, that is, he intends to take advantage of this time to shoot the movie as soon as possible and then release it.

To put it bluntly, he actually wanted to take this opportunity to reap a wave of He Jin's fans.

As for this situation, He Jin would naturally not be willing.

Therefore, he shook his head, "I'm really sorry! Wait until after the new year!"

"It's okay! Let's talk later!"

He smiled at the boss, raised his glass and touched He Jin.

"There seem to be quite a lot of people looking for you, so I won't delay you!"

Xiang Boss looked at the other people who were waiting and wanted to come forward, and smiled.

……

He Jin spent the whole banquet talking with people.

People who came to chat with him, like Yongsheng, wanted to find him to make a movie. Among them, there were many established film production companies like Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers.

Their thoughts are the same as Yongsheng's, they all hold He Jinhong and want to find him to make a movie to make a fortune.

For this situation, He Jin naturally politely rejected them.

Then, some other people are record companies such as Warner and EMI.

These guys didn't know where they found out that He Jin signed a cooperation contract with PolyGram.

After seeing that He Jin's records were selling well in Europe and America, everyone wanted to recruit He Jin to their label.

Among them, Warner is undoubtedly the one who has invested the most money.

The current president of Warner Asia, Paco Huang, offered He Jin directly as long as he switched to Warner. He not only paid all liquidated damages for He Jin, but also paid a sky-high signing fee of 5000 million.

Speaking of Huang Baigao, this guy's reputation in today's Xiangjiang music scene can be described as extremely loud.

Since he served as the president of Warner Xiangjiang region, in just two years, he has managed Warner successfully.

Even this year, Warner once overwhelmed Polygram and became the largest record company in Xiangjiang.

And Warner can rise so fast, in addition to this year Warner's head office acquired UFO, one of Taiwan's two leading records, there is another reason that it relies on Huang Baigao's extremely hard iron hoe.

Yes, he is famous in the Xiangjiang industry by poaching corners.

In 1992, the "Tan Zhang struggle for hegemony" completely disappeared, and the "Five Heavenly Kings" came into being. In order to maximize profits, the Five Heavenly Kings became the well-deserved leaders of the Xiangjiang music scene in many capitals and the popularity of the five people.

In the entire Xiangjiang music scene and even the Chinese music scene, the five heavenly kings are unmatched.

Female singers are okay, after all, the audience is different, but male singers are different, except for a few people, such as Zhou Huajian, or the former prodigal son Wang Jie.

Others, if they bump into the five heavenly kings, they will basically be pushed to the ground and rubbed against each other.

Paco Huang was not happy seeing this result, because among the five people, Jacky Cheung and Li Ming belonged to Polygram, while He Jin and Aaron Kwok belonged to Huaxing Records.

After Andy Lau terminated the contract with TVB in 1986, he transferred the record contract to emi EMI in 1987, and later transferred it to Polygram.

In this way, the famous five heavenly kings basically have nothing to do with Warner.

First, Warner does not have the TV station resources like China Star, and second, it does not have the powerful radio resources like Polygram.

This means that it is impossible for newcomers from the Rookie Singing Contest or the Amateur Singing Contest to enter Warner, and at the same time, Warner's star-making ability will be weaker.

It is almost impossible to recreate a top singer to match the five heavenly kings.

As for their Wang Jie, when Huang Baigao took the stage, the record contract between Wang Jie and Warner had expired, and Wang Jie had already decided not to renew his contract with Warner, but to start his own company.

Therefore, the ready-made prodigal son is no longer available.

As the saying goes, people with red eyes are crazy.

Seeing Hua Xing and Polygram's family have two and three kings, Huang Baigao is naturally unhappy.

So, from the middle of 1992, Huang Baigao started his journey of wielding a hoe.

Among the five heavenly kings, Jacky Cheung and Liming should be absolutely loyal to Polygram.

From Zhang Xueyou's point of view, the miserable record sales in 1988 should have been abandoned, but Zheng Donghan still chose to support him, and released "Give Me My Dear" for him in 1989.

&nb" became a popular song that year, helping Jacky Cheung to return to his career path, so Jacky Cheung has always respected and loved Zheng Donghan.

Liming's situation is similar, although he debuted through the Rookie Contest and signed a contract with Huaxing, Huaxing has not released even an album for Liming.

Later, in 1990, Liming turned around and invested in Polygram. Zheng Donghan accurately realized that he had to take the affectionate route to sing for Liming. Songs such as "Romance Without a Name" are also classics of Liming, and Liming's music career began to flourish.

In addition, it was even rumored that in order to promote Liming, Polygram transferred the resources originally given to Liming to Liming. Affected by this news, Li Keqin had a public quarrel with the record company, so he re-signed Polygram, which has a lower reputation and strength. An order of magnitude of stellar discs.

Based on the above, the two heavenly kings Jacky Cheung and Liming basically have no chance.

Then, five people and three more.

Among the three, PolyGram knew that He Jin's side was unlikely to be found.

Everyone knows that He Jin can be regarded as a singer that PolyGram has cultivated by itself.

As a champion of the Rookie Singing Contest, he received Huaxing's attention as soon as he debuted. Within three months, he invested money to help He Jin release his famous album "Youth He Jin".

This record sold over a million and nearly 200 million, making He Jin go from a little street singer that no one knew to a first-line singer.

Afterwards, Huaxing made persistent efforts and fully believed in He Jin, using He Jin's own songs and a Cantonese album "Don't Be Obsessed with Me" to completely make him stand firm.

It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that He Jin is Hua Xing's own son.

Therefore, Huang Bogao knew that the chances of digging He Jin were very small.

However, with the attitude of giving it a try, he offered He Jin a generous contract transfer condition at that time, but unfortunately, there was no surprise in the end.

In this way, the five out of three, only Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok are left among the five heavenly kings.

Maybe God favored him. By chance, he heard that Andy Lau, who had already released 1992 albums in early 10, wanted to change his singing style. Although the previous love songs were very popular, he himself could not say that he liked them very much.

When Paco Huang heard about this opportunity, he immediately took the initiative to find Andy Lau and promised to give Andy Lau enough freedom.

Andy Lau and He Jin are good friends, and he can often hear He Jin talk about the degree of freedom he has when producing his own album at the record company.

Affected by this, he is also very eager to be authorized by the record company, so that he can freely choose his song path.

In this way, Warner Huang Paco's promise immediately made them hit it off.

He quickly decided to transfer to Warner, and released the album "True My Style" in the same year. The song "True My Style" of the same name of the album can be regarded as expressing Andy Lau's heartfelt voice.

Andy Lau, who has his own style, is of course happy, and Huang Baigao is even happier, because at the beginning of 1993, Aaron Kwok and Hua Xing, the five kings of heaven, had disagreements.

They are both the five heavenly kings and belong to the same company. When Aaron Kwok and He Jin were in Huaxing, Huaxing asked them to form a combination of Huaxing Shuangjie in order to compete with Polygram.

During that period of time, the title of Huaxing Shuangjie and Polygram's Three Musketeers were like needlepoints, which belonged to the kind of confrontation between the strong and the much-anticipated one.

Affected by this combination, Aaron Kwok's popularity has also risen rapidly.

However, this situation did not last long.

From the beginning to the middle of 1992, the theory of the five heavenly kings began to spread. Huaxing and Polygram joined forces with many capitals to reach a consensus, no longer confront each other, and instead jointly launched five people to form the five heavenly kings.

Once the five heavenly kings become one, the Three Musketeers and Huaxing Shuangjie will naturally become a thing of the past.

Huaxing Shuangjie exists in name only, He Jin and Aaron Kwok began to go their own way.

However, it is different from He Jin's explosive performance in 1992, and even the second Mandarin album "Eternal Sun" broke through 500 million a few months after its release, becoming the sales record holder in the Chinese music scene.

Although in this year, Huaxing also tailored several albums for Aaron Kwok.

But the results are not as good as those of the other heavenly kings.

Even if it was almost nothing, the outside media insisted on this issue and kept saying that he was not worthy of being among the five heavenly kings.

Public opinion from the outside world, coupled with Aaron Kwok's deep feeling that if he stays in Huaxing again, he may fall out of the list of the five heavenly kings.

Therefore, he refused to renew his contract with Huaxing, intending to find another company.

After hearing the news, Huang Paco almost burst into laughter. He immediately found Xiaomei, a Hong Kong lyricist who was close to Aaron Kwok, and asked her to act as an intermediary, and signed Aaron Kwok to the banner in one fell swoop.

From being unavailable to two of the five heavenly kings falling to Warner, Warner immediately increased record sales in 1993 and created a large amount of benefits for the company.

After receiving the bonus of poaching, after hearing that He Jin, the most popular among the five heavenly kings, He Jin, who is recognized by many media as the head of the five heavenly kings, sold a lot of English records and became an international singer.

He immediately moved his mind. The contract signed between He Jin and Huaxing was a three-year contract, and now more than two years have passed.

After the contract ends, will He Jin continue to work in Huaxing?

There is also He Jin's English record.

Since He Jin can cooperate with PolyGram, he can definitely cooperate with Warner.

So, with the help of this banquet, he took the initiative to contact He Jin, wanting to find out what he said.

To be honest, this kind of behavior of poaching people at other people's celebration banquets is really dishonest.

But Huang Baigao didn't think so much.

If it can be dug out.

Be darling, Asia's current first international star, the profits it brings are simply unimaginable for ordinary people.
