2963【Jay Chou】

"By the way, Miss Zhang, please help me find a young man named Jay Chou?" Xia Tian finally asked Zhang Aijia.

"Jay Chou?! I know him. He is now helping Wu Zongxian as an assistant." Zhang Aijia immediately said, "Mr. Xia, what are you asking him for?!"

"Oh, I've seen the songs he wrote, and it feels very good. I think talented newcomers like this should be praised more, not secretly." Xia Tian explained.

"Really?! It's a great thing for him to appreciate him." Zhang Aijia said happily for Jay Chou when he heard this.

Jay Chou participated in a talent show organized by Tianxia Cable TV in 1997. Although he did not get a good ranking, his talent was still the focus of the music veteran Wu Zongxian. So Wu Zongxian took him down and became his assistant.

Don’t think it’s embarrassing to be an assistant for celebrities, carry bags and umbrellas, and serve tea and water. Many big-name celebrities in Taiwan are from assistants. For example, Kim Sung-moon, Liu Ruoying, Richie Richie, Wallace Huo, etc., all start as celebrity assistants, so as to get the opportunity to debut and eventually become popular stars.

Otherwise, there are so many handsome men and beautiful women in the circle, with no background or financial resources, so why are they recommended to the top by their seniors?!

The reason why Zhang Aijia remembers Jay Chou is mainly because of Wu Zongxian. After Wu Zongxian accepted Jay Chou, he kept giving away the songs he wrote, and even delivered them to Zhang Aijia.

However, although Jay Chou has great creative talent, it has to be said that it is not very popular, so Zhang Aijia did not accept it at that time, but she still remembered the shy boy.

Unexpectedly, now that summer is really a good song. If the company wants to promote him, this is really a noble person from heaven!

"If he succeeds, it will be a good thing for the company." Xia Tian smiled.

Jay Chou is the most outstanding singer in the Chinese music scene in the 21st century, no one. He has great creative talent and has released countless classic songs, such as Qilixiang, Nocturne, Cowboy is very busy, listen to his mother's words, Dragon Fist, in his father's name, half-orcs, etc.

It can be said that in the new century, the creative level of the Chinese music scene is gradually withering and the market is gradually being embezzled by European, American, Japanese and Korean music, Jay Chou took on the banner of Chinese music.

So, if he succeeds, it will be a great thing for the company and the Chinese music scene.

"It seems that Mr. Xia attaches great importance to him." Zhang Aijia said in surprise.

She felt that although Jay Chou was talented, he was not particularly outstanding. After all, at this stage, there were still many creators in the Taiwanese music circle, such as Xiao Chong, Huang Guolun, Yuan Weiren, Chen Sheng, Wu Qiang, Zhang Yu, Zhang Yusheng, etc.

"Because his songs are relatively fresh, they are p;p; style songs." Xia Tian explained, "I told you that the future music market, p;p;, hip-hop, and electronic dance music will be the mainstream, but you just don't listen to me."

Although he had advised Zhang Aijia two years ago to develop a P;p;, electronic dance music and launch a youth idol group, I have to say that Rolling Stone is still a little arrogant.

Most of the songs released in recent years are popular songs, such as Richie Richie's heart is too soft, the girl on the other side comes over, etc.

Although this type of song is popular and very popular, it has to be said to be gradually outdated. A new generation of young listeners longs to hear different types of songs, such as cool and dynamic electronic dance music, long-lasting p;p; music, and hip-hop full of violence, passion and hedonism.

However, the managers of Rolling Stones are all old-minded and have never transformed in time. In the past life, by 2006, Rolling Stones had completely declined.

Unfortunately, at that time, Zhang Aijia asked Xia Tian to invest in Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone was only willing to sell 30% of its shares, and Xia Tian did not force more, so now he is just a small shareholder and has no strong say in Rolling Stone.

Otherwise, he would have signed singers such as Tao Zhe, Wang Lihong, Jay Chou, Luo Zhixiang, Cai Yilin, Sun Yanzi, and Xiao Yaxuan.

After hearing what he said, Zhang Aijia felt a little embarrassed.

To be honest, although Rolling Stone has supported summer in recent years, its development is indeed not good.

The reason is very simple. Although Taiwan's financial industry has not suffered any losses, its exports have been greatly affected due to the impact of the Asian financial crisis in 1996.

Taiwan’s record, television, and film industries are actually not big enough to rely on the local market alone, and they all need exports. Therefore, when the financial crisis comes, they are all affected, sales have dropped sharply, and record companies naturally suffer heavy losses.

In addition, with the development of the Internet industry in recent years, Internet thief has become more and more popular. The new album has just been released, and the entire album has been shared online by netizens.

In the 1990s, most popular singers sold hundreds of thousands of records. But now, only big-name singers have such sales. Even Richie's latest record is for Love, but only 300,000 copies sold.

The decline in the record market naturally affects the income of Rolling Stone Records. Therefore, in the past two years, Rolling Stone Records has been relying on holding concerts to make ends meet, and they dare not release records for singers.

"If Jay Chou is not good at operating the Rolling Stone, then I will set up a new record company for him and specifically support him alone." Xia Tian said immediately.

He was worried that the old minds of Rolling Stone would not be able to give Jay Chou enough creative space and limit him, which would undoubtedly be a huge constraint for Jay Chou.

However, Rolling Stone Records is not useless. It has rich record production experience, and its promotional channels and distribution channels are also quite complete.

If Jay Chou can get their support, it will be relatively easier to become famous. So Xiatian is willing to give Rolling Stones a chance. If they seize it, it will certainly be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

If they couldn't catch them, then summer had to open another company to promote Jay Chou. Anyway, Jay Chou also founded Jay Chou Records and promoted himself.

"Yes, Mr. Xia, I will definitely urge them." Seeing that Xia Tian valued Jay Chou so much, he even did not hesitate to set up a record company for him alone, he immediately did not dare to take it lightly and quickly agreed.

"Then let's just say that." Xia Tian smiled.

After Zhang Aijia talked to Xia Tian, ​​she greeted Wu Zongxian when she went back and took Jay Chou to Rolling Stone Records to promote his debut.

Jay Chou suddenly became a star assistant and a rising star of the Rolling Stone. He was completely confused and didn't understand why his destiny changed all of a sudden.
