由于受东南亚经济低迷的影响,香港娱乐圈也不能独善其身,不少唱片公司高层和歌星为求自保,各出奇招,以求可在市道低迷时站稳脚跟,近月来裁员、削减开支、开源节流随处可见,真可谓人心惶惶。唱片界龙头大哥宝丽金被 Seagran 收购。一直投资饮品及娱乐事业的加拿大 Seagran 公司,于今年年中正式以106亿美元收购宝丽金,并计划与旗下的环球片场合并,成为全球最庞大的娱乐事业帝国。Seagran 在香港早设有唱片公司,名为“环球”,过去两年以发行外国唱片为主,并曾捧过新人邱龙,可惜成绩差强人意,未能为“环球”打响招牌。自从宝丽金被 Seagran 收购后,盛传1999年宝丽金会与旗下的姊妹公司正东、新艺宝合并,更名为“环球唱片”。
Due to the economic downturn in Southeast Asia, the entertainment industry in Hong Kong can not stand apart. Many record label executives and singers are trying their best to protect themselves. They are all trying their best to survive the downturn in the market and lay off staff and cut spending in recent months , Cutting-edge revenue and expenditure can be described as panic. Records leader Polygol is acquired by Seagran. Canada’s Seagran, which has been investing in beverages and entertainment, formally acquired Polygram for $ 10.6 billion this mid-year and plans to merge with its Universal Studios to become the world’s largest entertainment empire. Seagran set up a record company in Hong Kong as “Universal”. In the past two years, it has released foreign albums and once held new rookie Qiu Long. Unfortunately, it failed to sign “Universal”. Since the company was acquired by Seagran, it was rumored that in 1999 the Polyplastics Association and its sister companies, Tung Tung and Ngee, merged and renamed Universal Records.
