Brief introduction of EMI xiaohonglou scenic spot:
The Red Mansion is located in Xujiahui Park. /kloc-At the end of 0/9, EMI Records Company of France landed in Shanghai, bringing a fresh and fashionable phonograph. This machine, which can keep the sound while singing, made Shanghainese extremely excited at that time and soon became fashionable in Shanghai. In addition, after buying a phonograph, you can also save the cost of attending the meeting. In this way, the fashionable and economical Shanghai-style mode has made the phonograph rapidly popular among fashionable families in Shanghai. Subsequently, the French EMI Company established the Oriental EMI Record Company in Shanghai on 192 1, and the Oriental EMI Company purchased the land at Xujiahui Road 1434 (now No.81kloc-0/in hengshan road, Xuhui District) and established a record manufacturing company in Shanghai. At that time, EMI invited artists to record masters in the shed, and then sent them overseas for production and then sold them back to China. The content of the first batch of records is very localized, which is quite different from the selection criteria of EMI today. After liberation, the record factory in China was reorganized and continued to produce bakelite records, which was first-class in China. This factory also has an old record player repair department and a record exchange. By 1982, China Record Company was established, and the brand of China Record Shanghai Company was hung here. It was not until the second phase project of Xujiahui Greenland started last year that the record company was forced to move. The former red building is not red now, and the cement on the outer wall is gray, but it looks very atmospheric at first glance. The corridor turns left and right separately, which is very wide, about two meters. After 70 or 80 years of wind and rain, the floor is basically not deformed. This small building used to be the central nerve of EMI. The basement is used for recording and entertainment, and the second floor is the editing room. The third floor is the living room and bedroom of the company boss. On the wall of the ground floor, there is also a picture frame with recording instructions and the signature is 1983. It is conceivable that the original recording studio was still in use until then. A large area on the east side of the Red Mansion was once the China Singing Studio, which was once called the largest studio in Asia and attracted many famous musicians. The right-hand man at the gate of China Singing Company used to be the sales department of China Singing. There are many varieties in it, especially bakelite records, which are the favorite of record collectors. Not only fans often come to wash dishes, but also singers and musicians from Hong Kong and Taiwan who come from afar to record often appear. About fifty or sixty meters away, it used to be a small building along the street, where China's first pop music magazine Audio-visual World 1986 was born.
