Chapter 24 Taiwanese Funny Girl
While Yang Ye was making movies, Zheng Donghan of Polydor was not idle and sold "Under the Lion Rock" to Nanyang.
There are a large number of people who speak Cantonese in Nanyang. Cantonese songs and Cantonese movies are very popular there.
To date, the sales of the album "Under the Lion Rock" have exceeded 150,000, and are still growing slowly.
How much money can Yang Ye get from such a high sales volume? Two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars.
It can be seen that it is still difficult for Yang Ye to repay his debts by selling records, unless he releases one record a month and sells it all.
However, the selling point of Yang Ye's records is creation, and his own singing skills and timbre are only passable.
As a singer-songwriter, it is incredible to be able to release two albums a year.
But anyway, Yang Ye is now famous in Nanyang. Zheng Donghan is planning Yang Ye to go to Nanyang to hold a concert to make money, but Yang Ye is not free now.
Well, to be precise, I have no time to go to Singapore and Malaysia. The concert in Taipei has been approved and confirmed.
From the 1960s to the early 1970s, Hong Kong was the era of Mandarin songs. Singers such as Jenny Tseng, Teresa Teng, and Liu Wenzheng were all very popular in Hong Kong.
At this time, basically only records by Taiwanese singers were sold in Hong Kong. It was difficult for Hong Kong singers to sell records in Taiwan.
But Yang Ye is an exception. The songs selected in the album "Under the Lion Rock" are all supreme classics in the next ten years. As long as a singer owns one of them, it can be regarded as a masterpiece and will last a lifetime. The kind of old man. Records like this can naturally break the language barrier.
After "Under the Lion Rock" was released in Taiwan, the sales volume exceeded 20,000. The media in Hong Kong and Taiwan were shocked and reported a lot.
The Taiwanese media exclaimed that Cantonese songs were coming, while the Hong Kong media boasted that Cantonese songs were coming to the Taiwan market. They were quite proud of their words.
At the same time, Yang Ye's novels also spread to Taiwan.
"Ming Pao" published "The Iron-Blooded Genius" and "Kunlun Secret Volume", selling 300,000 copies in Hong Kong. It was later published in Taiwan and caused an instant sensation.
Famous martial arts masters such as Gu Long and Zhuge Qingyun all praised Yang Ye.
Yang Ye’s books and monographs have caused a sensation in Taiwan. Naturally, it is necessary to hold a concert to meet fans and consolidate his popularity.
It happened that Yang Ye was going to Taiwan to shoot a movie, so the two things were done together.
...
Yang Ye got up early, did two sets of boxing, took a shower, drank morning tea, and then walked slowly to Polydo's recording studio.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a cute girl with a round face chatting with Zheng Donghan.
This girl is naturally the generational singer Teresa Teng. The current singer has just turned 20 years old and is already very famous in Southeast Asia.
After signing the contract with Polydor this year, it also entered the Japanese benzene market.
Yang Ye was about to step forward to say hello when he heard Deng Lijun say to Zheng Donghan with a smile: "Yesterday I saw your son, little Jiji!"
Zheng Donghan has a black hair, his son's name is Zheng Zhongji, he is two years old this year . It was unclear whether Deng Lijun was talking about his son or his son's little brother.
“He is so cute.”
“Really?”
“Not like you at all!”
Zheng Donghan's smile froze instantly.
Yang Ye was listening and almost laughed out loud. He never expected that a generation of diva could be a funny girl.
And when she teases Zheng Donghan like this, isn’t she afraid that people will hit her?
But she was right about one thing, because the Zheng family and his son did not look alike.
Although Zheng Donghan is not handsome, he can still be called a talented person. His son, Brother Tyrannosaurus...
Yang Ye coughed and said: "This is Miss Deng Lijun."
Deng Lijun turned around and saw Yang Ye, and immediately said with a bright smile: "Young Master Yang, you are here, I'll wait. It’s so painful!”
Yang Ye suddenly had a black line on his face, what the hell! You are the goddess of my biological parents, can you be more reserved?
Zheng Donghan laughed and said, "Since both of you have been famous for a long time, there is no need for introduction."
Yang Ye and Deng Lijun shook hands and said with a smile: "Thank you Deng The lady traveled all the way to Hong Kong to help me record the song, thank you very much.”
Deng Lijun said: "I heard that Yang Shaoqin appointed me to record songs for your movie. I was a little flattered."
Yang Ye was very surprised why Deng Lijun called him Yang Shao. After asking, he found out that this title has already been used in Nanyang. Word spread, and fans called him Mr. Yang. Deng Lijun is a funny girl, so she followed the trend and called her Yang Shao, which was a bit of a joke.
The two of them blew rainbow farts at each other for a long time, but neither of them let go until Lijun Deng said: "What, if you hold it any longer, you will sweat."
Yang Ye came over in surprise, quickly let go, and said awkwardly: "Well, let's get started!"
Next, Yang Ye gave Deng Lijun a brief introduction to the movie plot of "Shaolin Temple" and the usage scene of the song "Shepherd's Song". Deng Lijun understood it clearly, made an OK gesture, and started recording.
In the soothing and melodious music, Teresa Teng sang:
The sun rises in the Songshan Col, and the morning bell scares the birds.
The creek in the forest is gurgling, and the grass is green on the slope.
The wild fruits are fragrant and the mountains are beautiful, dogs are jumping and sheep are running
Raise the whip and shake it gently
The ditty is floating all over the mountain, floating all over the mountain
......
She is indeed a generation of singers. In the sweet singing voice of Teresa Teng, in the song The beautiful scenery described unfolds in Yang Ye's mind like a picture scroll.
Yang Ye seemed to see a beautiful and clean nature. He could smell the fragrance of wild fruit and mountain flowers, see the bright and youthful smile of the shepherdess, and hear her crisp and happy singing.
By the time Teresa Teng finished her song, everyone present was moved by her.
Yang Ye applauded: "Miss Deng sings so well. Listening to your singing, I seem to have really seen the scenes in the movie."
Deng Lijun said playfully: "That's Mr. Yang, your songs are well written. As I sang, I was moved.”
Zheng Donghan smiled and said, “Young Master Yang, you write well, and Lijun sings well, they complement each other. What a match made in heaven!”
“You are also a good arranger!” Yang Ye and Deng Lijun said in unison. The three people suddenly burst into laughter.
Although Teresa Teng sang very well, Zheng Donghan was not satisfied with the song once. After adjusting it, he changed several combinations of instruments. Teresa Teng had to record it several times before it passed.
After recording the song, Teresa Teng is about to return to Taiwan. It just so happens that Yang Ye is also going to Taiwan with the film team.
Of course, because he was going to have a concert there, Zheng Donghan also had to lead the team there, and finally three waves of people came together to arrive in Taiwan.
……
After getting off the plane at Songshan Airport, a group of people went their separate ways.
The season at this time is midsummer, and Yang Ye specially chose this season to shoot.
Because Zhuoshui River is in the flood season, the water flow is fast and the river is much wider than usual.
During the flood season, the Zhuoshui River is more than two kilometers wide, and the turbid water flows freely, giving it a feeling of the Yellow River.
Xia Meng took the team to Xiluo Town, Yunlin County, the filming location selected in advance to make preliminary preparations.
In fact, the prop team had already gone over to make the props in advance.
Yang Ye stayed in Taipei with Zheng Donghan and the staff of Polydor. The concert was held ten days later, with three performances in a row.
Yang Ye needs to use these few days to rehearse with the band and do as the Romans do. He also composed a Mandarin song to be a surprise at the concert.
In the past few days, Lijun Teng also took the time to come over and rehearse because she agreed to Yang Ye's invitation to be a guest at his concert.
Yang Ye rehearsed the song he was going to sing, but he always felt that something was missing. Covering his head and thinking for a while, he suddenly asked: "Donghan, what do you think of Lijun and I singing a duet between men and women at the concert?"
Zheng Donghan's eyes lit up: "It's a good idea, but it's just a temporary addition. I didn’t report the song.”
"Is it too late to report now?"
"If there is no problem with the song, it should be fine!"
Yang Ye nodded and said: "Then I will write one and you can take it. Report, call Lijun Deng and ask her to come over for rehearsal tomorrow."
Zheng Donghan almost peed, are you too cruel? Just write as much as you want, and eating is not easy either!
Yang Ye pretended to think for a while, found a piece of paper, wrote down the song, gave it to Zheng Donghan, and asked: "What do you think?"
Zheng Donghan read it once and gave a thumbs up: "That's awesome!"
