Chapter 107 Exceptional Business Skills: Handling All Kinds of Bands!
Tang Lou praised Gao Xiaosong's profession a few times, and Gao Xiaosong immediately got excited.
The entire space was filled with Gao Xiaosong's laughter.
"Brother Tang, don't worry, I'll take care of getting you invited to the 'Big Band' show."
Gao Xiaosong has quite a few connections in the music industry, and he immediately invited several of his old friends out.
The first one is Lao Lang, Gao Xiaosong's best friend of over thirty years! Lao Lang and Gao Xiaosong once formed the Bronze Age Band, which was very popular back then. Songs like "My Deskmate", "Youth Without Regret" and "Love in the Dust" are all classics.
A true leader in campus folk music, Lao Lang's voice is clear and bright, captivating listeners from the moment it begins.
Lao Lang has extensive connections in the industry, and has close relationships with bands like Black Panther. He can be considered a pivotal figure in the entire rock scene.
Lao Lang has completely retired, but at Gao Xiaosong's invitation, he is very interested in Tanglou's "The Big Band".
Tempted by the allure of the Tanglou, the two planned to reunite during the guest performance of "The Big Band" and showcase the brilliance of the veteran band Bronze Age! In addition to Lao Lang, Gao Xiaosong also invited Song Ke over.
Song Ke and Gao Xiaosong co-founded Wheatfield Music, which is also a very important music label in mainland China, with well-known musicians under its label, such as Pu Su and Ye Bei.
Of course, Song Ke also has close ties with other music labels, and his involvement has given them more leverage in subsequent negotiations.
Through the intricate connections between Song Ke, Lao Lang, and Gao Xiaosong, Tang Lou quickly persuaded Pu Su, Ye Bei, Zeng Tieke, and Zhou Sheng to join "The Big Band" as guest performers.
Park So is also a very individualistic singer with many fans.
On stage, Pu Su may seem like a goofy goose, but he is truly talented in music.
Gao Xiaosong and Pu Su have a very close relationship; it can be said that Gao Xiaosong is Pu Su's mentor.
In return, when Gao Xiaosong was in financial crisis, Pu Su transferred 150,000 yuan to him without hesitation.
One reason I was able to participate in "The Big Band" this time was because Tang Lou offered me a lot of money, and another reason was because Gao Xiaosong personally invited me.
Although Tang Lou dislikes Gao Xiaosong in some ways, he admires him in others.
Regardless of anything else, no one who stands out and becomes famous is truly an ordinary person; they all have their own advantages and special skills.
Zhou Sheng and Gao Xiaosong are equally good. Back then, Gao Xiaosong paid out of his own pocket to produce Zhou Sheng's album "Deep Deep". Later, Gao Xiaosong also used his connections to promote him to the professional stage.
Zhou Sheng was also very interested in the program at Tanglou, and they quickly reached an agreement.
With the addition of these highly renowned musicians, it's safe to say that "The Big Band" has gotten off to a great start.
Next, accompanied by Song Ke and Gao Xiaosong, Tang Lou and his group visited various music institutions.
Our first stop was Modern Sky.
Shen Lihui, the head of Modern Sky, is a very powerful figure and a godfather-like figure in the rock music field.
He is revered in the industry as the godfather of Chinese independent music, and the Strawberry Music Festival, which he spearheaded, is a well-known music festival in the rock music field.
If it were just Tang Lou coming alone, Shen Lihui would definitely not give him a warm welcome, and as for cooperation, it would be virtually impossible.
After all, Tang Lou is a variety show producer and web series producer. In his opinion, he has no background in rock music and has no feelings for bands.
Shen Lihui is a very individualistic and emotional person. If he feels that you are not meant to be, he will not give you any chance at all.
However, this time, Gao Xiaosong, Lao Lang, Song Ke, and others accompanied him, while Shen Lihui was completely different.
Even if you don't care about the monk, you should at least consider the Buddha. Besides, the fact that he was able to get Old Wolf and Song Ke to come shows that he does have some ability.
Gao Xiaosong also chimed in, and Shen Lihui listened carefully to Tang Lou's explanation of "The Big Band" and agreed with his ideas and plans.
"I didn't expect Mr. Tang to have such a profound understanding of band culture at such a young age."
Tang Lou extracted the essence of "The Big Band" from his previous life and the industry's evaluation, which naturally hit Shen Lihui's nail on the head.
Sure enough, after a conversation, Shen Lihui was completely convinced by Tang Lou.
Modern Sky has quite a few bands under its label, the most famous of which are: Painkiller, New Pants, and Re-TROS.
These bands were also selected by Tanglou as the backbone of the show "The Big Band".
Painkiller, in particular, has many supporters, especially in the Hangzhou area.
With Modern Sky's support, subsequent negotiations with the label went much more smoothly.
Bands such as Face, Click#15, and Second Hand Rose have also joined "The Big Band".
With these bands all in the lineup, the show is already 80% successful. All that's left is to find some independent bands to increase the variety and diversity of the bands.
After securing these bands, Tang Lou finally felt completely relieved.
After the guest lineup and band lineup were all invited, the next step was to assemble the project team.
Given Tang Lou's current status at KuMiao, top talents within the company flock to any program he hosts.
Moreover, the employees were thrilled to see that Tanglou had launched a brand new variety show.
The previous variety shows had become a hit series, and the selected employees had already made a fortune.
And this time, "The Big Band" is clearly capable of becoming a top-rated variety show for multiple seasons.
This variety show format is also unprecedented.
This has also filled many employees with passion.
Tang Lou is also very grateful for the support from the company's employees.
This program will also be an important project for Tanglou in the future, so a lot of money has been invested in it. In order to make these bands cooperate better, Tanglou has also given them a very high appearance fee.
The promise of "spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones" means that in addition to the high salary for the first episode, if the show becomes a hit, it will greatly increase the band's popularity, which is a great opportunity for them.
Although many independent musicians are aloof and disdainful of bowing down for a meager living.
However, truly talented musicians who disdain money would never sign contracts, attend music festivals, or make easy money.
So, in addition to money, Tanglou also wants to give them a spiritual honor this time. The purpose of this program is to showcase band culture, individuality, and let young people see the true attitude and spirit of the band!
With such high praise, many bands can comfortably take the money without damaging their aloof image, and still make a lot of money.
Among these bands, Tanglou even specially invited a band called Wutiaoren.
This is also the band that became incredibly popular and generated a lot of buzz in the show in its previous life. This is also the band that Tanglou plans to focus on supporting in the first season of "The Big Band".
Among the Five People, Renke is a very interesting person. Some people even think he is nonsensical and talks to himself.
However, he has a lot of personal charm, making people feel that he is both humorous and talented.
