The author is not a good drinker. I don’t know the rules and regulations of the wine market, but from my daily contact and learning from film and television, I know that there are two ways to drink alcohol: one is to drink by drinking orders or punching, and the other is you A cup of him and a cup of match. It is what many drinking friends call "wen drinking" and "wu drinking".
Today, the "drinking" opponents to be introduced are a pair of record companies that love and kill each other in the Chinese music scene. They are Taiwan Rolling Stones and UFO Records.
For fans who love traditional Mandarin pop songs, the Rolling Stones and UFOs are their feelings. These two record companies that are rich in Tianwang and Tianhou have carried many exclusive memories of the post-60s, 70s, and 80s with their golden songs.
went from the "rolling stones underground, flying saucers" in the company's name to the all-round comparison between the management, the production team and the singers. It was their perseverance that made these two companies become the record industry. The oligarch, , has been around for at least ten years. Below
, let the two companies "sit in a row and drink wine" in the way of "Wu Drinking" to see who will be the final winner.
ManagementPK
Duan ZhongtanDuan Zhongyi Brothers VSWu Chuchu,Peng Guohua,Chen Dali
Zhou Huajian's 1998 song "It's More Annoying Recently" mentioned "Old Duan", he is the boss of Rolling Stones Duan Zhongtan, Duan Zhongyi, Duan Zhongtan and brothers In 1980, "Rolling Stone" magazine was founded, and the following year, the Recording Division was established. The Rolling Stones have always been known for their humanistic feelings. Back then, Wan Fang resigned from the boss because of poor album sales, but "Old Duan" said to Wan Fang: Can you give the Rolling Stones another chance?
When the new century began, the Rolling Stones had a hard time. They were on the verge of bankruptcy due to debts. Nearly 100 singers who had worked for and were working for the club spontaneously appeared in the Rolling Stones 30th Anniversary Concert for free. Luo Dayou , Li Zongsheng , Zhou Huajian The " Longitudinal Line " formed with Zhang Zhenyue used more than a year of ticket revenue from the global tour to help the owner turn the corner. The three major Chinese record companies can only survive Rolling Stone, and the Duan brothers' "doing nothing" is very important.
In 1982, Wu Chuchu, a veteran who was at odds with the Rolling Stones, left the Rolling Stones and formed a UFO record with Peng Guohua. Together with Chen Dali, the "Big Three of UFOs" stood side by side. Chen Dali was in charge of overall planning, Peng Guohua was in charge of production, and Wu Chuchu was in charge of company management and operation.
With a keen sense of the market, UFO records have achieved the ultimate in commercial marketing, Little Tigers , Lin Zhiying , Andy Lau and other idol singers have brought huge benefits to the company. The flying saucer, which takes business as the king, once set "rules". For any singer whose market sales of two consecutive albums are less than 50,000 copies, the company has the right to terminate the contract with him/her immediately. You can only do your own original work after a big selling album.
is also a business in success and a business in failure. When the international recording giant Warner prepared to buy UFO at a high price, the "Big Three" were shaken. Out of some perception of the future record industry, they sold the UFO at a high price, and later established Fenghua Records . This behavior of
is understandable, but when the Rolling Stones have survived the most difficult days and still stand on their own in today's Chinese market, UFO Records has become a brand that has disappeared for more than 20 years. In this "wine fight" between the management of both sides, it seems that the Rolling Stones are the winner.
The behind-the-scenes production team PK
"Wu Chen Er Li" VS "Big, Middle and Small" three godfathers, Huang Yunling , C Sheng, Ma Zhaojun
UFO record has many singer-songwriter singers. Jiang Yuheng , Yi Nengjing , etc. can write and sing, but the production of most of the company's songs and albums depends on the luxury production team of "Wu Chen Er Li", "Er Li" Li Shouquan , Li Ziheng's has comprehensive abilities, Chen Zhiyuan's was Taiwan's leading arranger at that time, and he was also good at composing. Chen Dali and Chen Xiunan were commercial songs "Golden Song Maker", Chen Lerong is a comprehensive lyricist, Chen Yaochuan is a new and outstanding composer.
Rolling Stone Records outstanding singer-songwriters, Zhou Huajian, Wu Bai , Zhang Hongliang , Qi Yu, Ren Xianqi and other heavenly kings and queens are all masters, and the three godfathers of "big, medium and small", Huang Yunling, C Sheng, Ma Zhaojun six created People are also on the stage and behind the scenes.
Speaking of works, the three godfathers of "Wu Chen Er Li" and "Big, Middle and Small" have left too many classics; in terms of fame, "Wu Chen Er Li" is not as good as Luo Dayou, who often releases albums and concerts because he lives behind the scenes all the year round. , Li Zongsheng and Xiao Zong; in terms of activity level, "Wu Chen Er Li" gradually withdrew from the historical stage with the official acquisition of UFO by Warner in 1996, and the three godfathers of "big, medium and small" are still active in the music scene.
To sum up, this "wine fight" between the production teams of both sides ended with the Rolling Stones "drinking" the flying saucer.
singer PK
Because singers are divided into male singers, female singers and bands, etc., the singer PK needs to be considered in many aspects.
The Battle of the Heavenly Kings - Wang Jie vs Zhou Huajian
The battle between the Rolling Stones and the Flying Saucer is actually a head-to-head contest between Wang Jie and Zhou Huajian among Taiwan's "Four Heavenly Kings". Competitive pair, Qiqin 's peak period was mainly in the period of comprehensive record, earlier than the other three; Tong Ange mainly composed, so there is no advantage in popularity and record sales. Only Wang Jie and Zhou Huajian, who debuted at the same time, have similar positions in the two companies, and have the same weight in the hearts of fans.
Although Wang Jie is the "abandoned son" of the Rolling Stones, he made his debut after signing the UFO contract. The sales of the three albums hit the Rolling Stones without the ability to fight back. The Rolling Stones were once unable to rank the "challenging" male singers and let C Sheng take the lead. It was a complete defeat, and it was not reversed until the appearance of Zhao Chuan, and Zhou Huajian.
Wang Jie's peak period was mainly from 1987 to 1993, which is more in line with the career line of flying saucers. Zhou Huajian entered the music world two years earlier than Wang Jie, until 1991, he established his status as the king of the music scene with the album "Let Me Happy and Let Me Worry". In 1993, the album " Huaxin " made him the "King Killer". Since then, Zhou Huajian has gradually grown into Taiwan. The head king of the music scene.
Wang Jie once made his way to Hong Kong, the home base of the "Four Heavenly Kings", and won the top ten most popular newcomer awards for the Golden Songs with his Cantonese debut album " who knows the heart of the prodigal son ", which sold more than 5 platinum, and was shortlisted for the top ten golden songs. At this time, Andy Lau, Dawn , Aaron Kwok in the "Four Heavenly Kings" were only "supporting roles" of the HK Phil or did not appear on the stage.
Considering that the peak periods of the two heavenly kings did not overlap, this time the "war" between the heavenly kings singers ended in a draw.
The Controversy of Divas—— Su Rui VS Chen Shuhua
How to measure whether a female singer is a diva? In addition to works and popularity, awards are also indicators. Hong Kong and Taiwan use Jingge Golden Song Most Popular Female Singer and Golden Melody Award respectively Best Mandarin Female Singer (the honor before the Golden Melody Award is the Golden Bell Award Song Queen).
compares with this, there are Wang Zhilei , Tsai Qin , Ye Qianwen three of the UFO record divas, and there are also recognized diva Su Rui, Lin Yilian and Huang Yingying on the two records. All companies are effective, which are not listed here, Ye Huan , Cai Xingjuan , Qiu Haizheng , etc. have the name of the queen, but their influence is slightly different from the above-mentioned female singers. As for
's Rolling Stones' diva, there are Chen Shuhua, Pan Yueyun , Qi Yu, and Xin Xiaoqi , Su Huilun , Mo Wenwei , Wan Fang, Liang Jingru , etc. are all called divas. Considering that the UFO was completely acquired by Warner in 1996, Karen Mok, Liang Jingru and others were not included in the comparison. The battle between the
UFO and the Rolling Stones is finally decided between Su Rui and Chen Shuhua. The reason why UFO chose Su Rui is because she was a far-reaching "humanistic singer" in the 1980s, Wang Zhilei's influence is no more than Su Rui, Ye Qianwen went to UFO from Hong Kong Warner to test the Mandarin song market, and the representative is not enough. Although Cai Qin is good, Su Rui has more influence in the Taiwan music circle and the mainland music circle in the 1980s.
Rolling Stones Records, Pan Yueyun is the first signed singer of the first sister and Rolling Stones, but it is not as epoch-making as Chen Shuhua. Qi Yu has always been excellent but lacks sustained explosive power. Needless to say, Xin Xiaoqi, Su Huilun and Wan Fang, Zhou Huajian called Chen Shuhua "the queen of the queens", and her The album "Tell You, Listen to You" increased the sales of physical records in Taiwan to a new record of one million, and also allowed the Rolling Stones to finally surpass the UFO in sales. Chen Shuhua is also the only one in the Chinese music scene. After the song, with the suspension of the Golden Bell Awards, this honor is unprecedented.
compares Su Rui and Chen Shuhua, they are equal in status and influence. Both of them have a lot of golden songs in Mandarin in terms of their works and singing. In the end, they can only be measured by the honor of the music circle. Perhaps Chen Shuhua has a bigger advantage. , ending with the Rolling Stones victory.
sales battle
Andy Lau VS Zhang Xinzhe
Regarding the sales battle, Chen Shuhua's "Tell You, Listen to You" will make the flying saucer speechless, Ren Xianqi's 1998 album " Love Like the Pacific " also sold 102 10,000 copies sold, but the flying saucer at this time has already "existed in name only", and it is meaningless to compare it. Wang Jie's sales of the first three albums of UFO records are very good. It is said that ", a game, a dream, " has sold 18 million copies worldwide. It is not transparent, so regarding the sales battle, we started with the 1989 Golden Song Dragon and Tiger Chart, and compared the sales data of male singers in Taiwan.
From 1989 to 1996, the best-selling Rolling Stones album was Zhang Xinzhe's 1993 album "Mind Matters", which sold more than 700,000 in Taiwan.
UFO record must invite "rescue soldiers" this time. "Warner Brother" Andy Lau has released a total of 4 Mandarin albums in UFO since 1993. Among them, the 1994 album " Wang Qing Shui " sold more than 850,000 copies in Taiwan. 's sales.
In terms of album sales, in this "Wu Drink", the flying saucer regained a victory.
soprano PK
In today's Chinese music world, where a singer's singing skills are measured by soaring high pitches, whoever can soar the high pitch continuously has better singing skills. According to this interesting logic, let's consider the high pitch of the Rolling Stones and the UFO. PK.
Speaking of soaring high notes, UFO records are good at this, and the first recommendation is "Brother Xiaobao" Zhang Yusheng. No one knows why Brother Xiaobao, who is not tall, can make such a clear and high pitched high pitch. Maybe this is God's reward for eating. Zhang Yusheng's treble is at the ceiling level even in the present moment.
found a "heavy instrument" from Rolling Stone Records who was good at soaring high notes. After thinking about it, the only choice was Zhao Chuan. Although Zhao Chuan's treble was not as high as Zhang Yusheng's, he was also ranked number one in the Chinese music scene. His treble was stable and penetrating. Powerful, sustained treble ability is also unequivocal.
The "wushu" between the Rolling Stones and the UFO treble ended with the UFO again.
band or group PK
UFO record is rich in combination, the most famous is Little Tigers, in addition to Orient Express, Youhuan Party and Red Boy , Kitten Team is also the inner memory of young boys for a period of time.
Rolling Stones recorded rock bands, from Red Cross to China Blue to Mayday, in addition to the Black Panther and Tang Dynasty under Magic Rock, and the three-member BEYOND band after the death of Huang Jiaju . In the end, only Zhao Chuan became famous without the support of the Red Cross. When Mayday was active, the UFO record had disappeared. The rock band under the Magic Rock Records and the BEYOND band after 1994 were still somewhat unrepresentative. Only pull out Wubai's China Blue to challenge.
set the time from 1983 to 1996. With the popularity and market appeal during this period, the PK of the band or combination, UFO won again.
counts the data, there are a total of seven indicators PK, the Rolling Stones are better than the management, the production team and the representative queen, and the strength of the UFO is the sales,The representative of the high-pitched singer and the band or combination, the two sides are tied in the "Wu Drink" of the representative heavenly king.
In general, the two sides ended in a draw in seven data, and the "fighting" between the two record companies finally ended with their own drunkenness.
Those who laugh brightly are not necessarily those who laugh for a long time. "Soldiers in the iron camp" just survive in the times and live a precarious life. When the times abandon you, the "iron camp" will be broken in an instant. Now, looking at the Rolling Stones who are not as powerful as before, thinking about the flying saucers that have disappeared, he sighed: the success or failure is empty, the past and present are all jokes.
