"How long have you been studying with Dai Sicong?"
"Two years!"
"Then he has pretty much taught you what he can teach you, so let's change places."
< br>"Ah, where are you going?"
"If you want to fully understand modern pop music, you have to go to the United States. I will send you to the United States to study for one year. How much you can learn depends on your ability."
In fact, Wang Fei also went to the United States to study in the original time and space.
Every musician in Hong Kong can see that Wang Fei is a talented person.
Otherwise, she is a mainland girl who cannot speak Cantonese well, how could Xinyibao sign a contract with her?
After Wang Fei signed the contract, he immediately released the album of the same name "Wang Jingwen".
This is a stage name, because Xinyibao believes that if Wang Fei wants to be popular, he must choose a Hong Kong name.
But at that time, even Xinyi City was in decline, let alone Xinyibao, which specialized in serving Xinyi City.
We really couldn’t give Wang Fei any resources. Wang Fei stayed at Xinyibao for two years and released three records, but they were not popular.
As a result, Wang Fei was no longer taken seriously and was gradually marginalized in the company.
At this time, Luo Dayou saw the opportunity and bought Wang Fei's contract with two million.
After that, Luo Dayou arranged for Wang Fei to go to New York to study so that he could better release records in the future.
Also going to New York was a singer with the stage name Wawa, the girl who sang "Across the Ocean to See You".
After the two girls arrived in New York, they lived at the home of Luo Dayou's sister in Flushing.
Luo Dayou also invited his good friend, drama artist Zhou Longzhang to take care of them.
Zhou Longzhang drives the two girls to Barbizon Performance School, Martha Graham Dance School and private vocal training classes every day.
Sometimes I also go to Broadway to watch musicals. This arrangement can be said to be very thoughtful.
But Wang Fei, if you want her to sing, you can, but if you want her to dance, it will really cost your life.
She was not good at dancing and was often scolded by her teacher, so she lived a very depressed life in the United States.
In addition, Luo Dayou was very busy. After leaving the two of them in New York, he ignored them.
Wang Fei was unhappy because she felt she had been left out.
This reminded her of the days when she was left out in Xinyibao.
After some time, Luo Dayou returned to New York, and Wang Fei, who had been building up his emotions for a long time, said to Luo Dayou, "Don't be so indifferent to us. We will all be your cash cows in the future."
Luo Dayou was not happy when he heard this: I spent a lot of money to send you to study in New York. You learned like a piece of shit on a horse. How dare you complain to me?
You still brag that you are a cash cow? Damn it, I, Luo Dayou, need you to help me make money?
Termination!
Zhou Longzhang quickly advised Luo Dayou not to be impulsive. Luo Dayou said: "If I don't terminate the contract with her, I will invest 500,000 yuan in her a year."
Zhou Longzhang asked Wang Fei to say soft words again. Wang Fei refused to bow down.
If the contract is terminated, the contract is terminated. I don’t care. Wang Fei signed his name and returned to Hong Kong.
Dai Sicong also firmly believed that Wang Fei was a talent, so he helped with the operation, and Wang Fei returned to New Art Treasure.
This time it received attention and was repackaged, covering Miyuki Nakajima’s old song "Lipstick" from the 1970s into a Cantonese version of "Easily Injured Woman".
Not only did she become an instant hit, but she quickly became one of the top sisters in the music industry.
Luo Dayou was dumbfounded. He knew Wang Fei would be famous, but he didn't expect it to be so popular.
However, it was too tense that time. In the next thirty years, the Queen and the Godfather never had any intersection.
Wang Fei heard that Yang Ye was going to send her to study in the United States. His first reaction was not happiness, but a little suspicious: "Why do you value me?"
Yang Ye curled his lips: " Well, I’m going to sell you.”
Wang Fei smiled, shook his thin arms and said, “I don’t have any meat.”
Yang Ye said confidently: "Over the years, I have discovered many stars. My eyes have never seen people before, so don't let me down."
Wang Fei quickly stood up, that was quite promising. Chest, said: "I will work hard."
Before he became awesome, Wang Fei was still very good at compromising.
For example, she didn’t like the name Wang Jingwen at all, but the company asked her to change her stage name, so she changed it.
When I became awesome, I changed it back to my real name.
For example, she didn't like the sultry "Easily Wounded Woman" at all, but the company asked her to sing it, so she sang it.
When I get really good at it, I won’t sing anymore.
Yang Ye said: "Then let's do this for now. Leave your contact information and prepare your passport when you go back. Once the school in the United States has contacted you, you can go there."
……< br>
Deng Lijun returned home with a pair of children and saw Yang Ye standing in the yard.
He held Optimus Prime in one hand and Tsukino Rabbit in the other, and said with a smile: "Baby, welcome home!"
"Dad!" The two babies cheered and ran towards Yang Ye to pick him up. Toy in hand.
Yang Ye held a baby in one hand and said to Lijun Deng: "There are too many people at the airport to pick her up, so I can only wait for you at home."
Deng Lijun hummed. Expressing his understanding, he said: "You have your heart."
A family of four walked home, and Yang Ye casually asked a pair of children: "Are you having fun at grandma's house?"
Yang Min said: "Happy!"
Yang Xin said: "Not happy."
"Why, isn't grandma's house fun?"
"It's fun, but look If you can’t see your father, you can’t see your mother either.”
“Oh!” Yang Ye kissed her daughter’s little face and whispered in Deng Lijun’s ear: “A girl can still care for others.”< br>
Teresa Teng went on a tour in mainland China some time ago, covering more than a dozen cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Wuhan, Chengdu, and Xi'an.
Everywhere he went, the venues were full and he was warmly welcomed. People chased him crazily, and the media followed and reported. "One billion applause" is worthy of the name.
During the tour, the two daughters had no one to take care of them, so they stayed at their grandmother's house. After the tour a few days ago, they went to Taiwan to pick them up.
In the restaurant, the family gathered together to eat.
Yang Ye’s cooking skills are still very good, and the two babies enjoyed eating.
Yang Ye asked Deng Lijun casually: "How was your time in the Mainland this time?"
"Oh, they are so enthusiastic. I used to dream about seeing the Bund, but when I got to Shanghai I was thinking about going there, but it turned out that The traffic was jammed. Later, when I arrived in Chengdu, they invited me to eat the classic Sichuan boiled fish. Hahaha, didn’t you invent that?”
“Um...is it delicious?”
"What you cooked was more delicious, but it's a pity that you refused to cook it for me later."
Deng Lijun took a bite of the dish made from poplar leaves, but she felt that it was not very exciting. She wanted to eat chili.
"You are on tour in the Mainland this time, and no one is looking after you. Are you eating spicy food openly?"
"No, I eat a little bit occasionally."
"Be good, I'll give it to you tomorrow. You do it."
Yang Ye's tone was very doting, which made Deng Lijun feel proud. She took a bite and asked, "What are you busy with recently?"
"Preparing for the satellite? Regarding television, we have to produce TV dramas and plan TV programs.”
"You personally planned it?"
Deng Lijun remembered that Yang Ye never cared about those TV programs. He was good at producing movies and TV series. Whatever he produced, it must be a high-quality product.
"Yeah, I'm planning a singing program recently..."
Yang Ye roughly told Deng Lijun about the model of "The Voice of China", and all kinds of whimsical ideas Teresa Teng was very interested.
Especially when Yang Ye said that she would do the opposite, make the singer famous first, and then release a record. She was really convinced, could she still play like this?
"In this case, wouldn't it be necessary to find many potential singers in advance?" "Yes, this is relatively difficult. I plan to let Rolling Stone Records discover them in Taiwan and Poplar Records in Hong Kong. At the same time, we will also send people to Singapore and Malaysia. , Search in the Mainland."
Deng Lijun thought for a while and said, "How about I recommend someone to you?"
"Okay, who is so amazing? , and you personally recommended it?”
“I went back to Taiwan a few days ago and got together with my teacher. His daughter Zuo Anan wanted to debut as a singer. I originally wanted to recommend Anan to the Rolling Stones. Let’s try this competition again.”
"No problem, but this competition won't be held until next year. Let her prepare first. Don't sign a company this year.
We will do a unified training in advance at the beginning of next year. If she is really capable , I will give her a satisfactory response. "
Teresa Teng's teacher is Zuo Hongyuan, a famous music producer. He wrote Teresa Teng's classic song "A Thousand Words".
His more famous work is that he single-handedly composed all the songs in "The Legend of White Snake".
As for his daughter Zuo Anan, she looks a little cute and has an ordinary voice. She has no future as a singer.
Zuo Anan later talked about her singing career and used two words to describe it: "I want to vomit!"
Because she has a round face, the record company asked her to pout her mouth to look cute.
Although she felt a little disgusted, she tolerated it in order to become a star.
After pretending for more than a year, I really couldn’t pretend anymore, so I finally gave in.
But she is very talented and is the man behind the creation of S.H.E, the number one girl group in the Chinese music industry.
She produced many of S.H.E's hit songs, such as "Don't Want to Grow Up", "The Flowers Are Blooming", etc.
This is good. Even if you can’t be a singer in the future, you can still be a producer. You are a great general.
......
For "The Voice of China" to become popular, in addition to the novel competition system, awesome mentors and excellent students are the top priority.
Speaking of the mentor lineup, there is no doubt that the combination of three men and one woman is the most classic.
The atmosphere of the first season of "The Voice of China" was very good. In the second season, a two-female combination of La Yin and A Mei was created, and the program's effect was very noisy.
Qian Zhongshu has a good saying: "Where there are many chickens and ducks, there is a lot of manure. Where there are many women, there are a lot of words!"
So Yang Ye also hopes that this time the lineup of mentors will be It is a combination of three men and one woman.
Who should I hire as the only female tutor?
Among the current female singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan, Teresa Teng, Jenny Tse, Tsui Siu Feng, and Lisa Teresa are all qualified.
Of course Anita Mui is good enough, but she is in her prime and at the peak of her career. She has no time to make money by releasing records and filming movies, so she may not be willing to be a mentor.
Besides, she belongs to Hua Xing, and Fang Yihua and Yang Ye are sworn enemies, so this is absolutely no good.
Moreover, the instructor must not only sing well, but also have a sense of humor. Being dry is boring.
Among the current A-list singers, it’s hard to say who is the “King of Meme”. Teresa Teng is definitely a well-deserved "Queen of Memes".
With such an interesting person, the program must be very effective, and it’s hard to imagine whether the ratings will be high.
Yang Ye said: "Honey, would you like to be a mentor?"
Deng Lijun was stunned: "Me?"
"No one else is qualified."
>"Who said it, Sister Xiaofeng is very powerful."
Having said that, after thinking about it for a while, Lijun Teng agreed to support the man's career.
Moreover, this is a program that Yang Ye has great ambitions to create, and it sounds promising at first glance.
Yang Ye even said that if this program is successful, it will change the entire pattern of the Chinese music scene.
Deng Lijun and Yang Ye have known each other for fifteen years. Over the years, Yang Ye has brought too many surprises to the world.
She couldn't wait to know what changes Yang Ye would bring this time.
As for male mentors, Luo Wen, Alan Tam, Xu Guanjie, Leslie Cheung, Lin Zixiang, and Liu Wenzheng from Taiwan are all more suitable candidates.
Guan Zhengjie can also do it, but he refused to show up after quitting the music scene a few years ago, so it is impossible to come.
As for the three giants of the Rolling Stones, "big, medium and small", their level and qualifications are absolutely perfect, but they are not considered "good voices".
There is another problem. These people are all in major record companies. It is not easy to get them to be mentors.
Because there are many interests involved, even if the singer himself is willing, his record company may not be willing.
It’s a simple matter. My popular singer will help you teach your students, and then teach a singer to beat me?
What good things are you thinking about?
Unless... Yang Ye is willing to give the other party's record company the right to sign players.
But this is impossible. In such a big battle, how can the selected singer be signed to someone else? Then it will be in vain?
Let’s contact them all first to see who is willing to come, and then let’s talk slowly!
But Zhang Guorong can confirm it first.
Leslie Cheung is so popular now. After "The Intouchable Lover" and "A Chinese Ghost Story", Leslie Cheung became very popular in Korea.
The Cantonese album he released actually sold 400,000 copies in South Korea.
Last year's "The Bloody Heroes" co-starred with Tony Leung Ka-wai and Michelle Yeh, the local box office exceeded HK$23 million.
As Liang Jiahui became popular with "The Last Emperor", Leslie Cheung also caught on to the popularity, and more than 60 copyrights of "The Last Emperor" were sold.
After being released in Nanyang, the box office became a hit.
After being released in South Korea, the number of moviegoers exceeded 300,000.
Three consecutive movies have been hits in South Korea. Leslie Cheung’s appeal in South Korea is second only to action superstars like Yang Ye and Chen Long.
So now he is not only developing in Hong Kong, but also going to South Korea from time to time to shoot commercials and hold concerts.
While making money, we can also consolidate the market.
If he is to be a voice tutor, he must be confirmed this year.
Otherwise, the competition would last for several months, and it would be difficult for him to adjust the schedule.
......
Yang Ye invited Zhang Guorong to dinner and discussed asking him to be a voice mentor.
“You want to hold a singing competition?” Zhang Guorong was very surprised after hearing what Yang Ye said.
Yang Ye nodded and briefly explained the characteristics of "The Voice of China".
Zhang Guorong was very interested in his reverse operation.
I always release records first and rely on my songs to make the singer famous.
I have never heard of anyone making a singer famous first and then releasing a record.
Yang Ye said: "Actually, it's nothing. Look, Aaron has also released records, and A Biao has also released records. How can they sing? The albums haven't sold very well."
Zhang Guorong Nod, that’s the truth. Once a person becomes famous, people will buy into his bullshit.
He also heard that Deng Lijun agreed to be a mentor, so he said: "Since Sister Jun is also participating, then count me as one."
Yang Ye was very happy, Zhang Guorong is also a very interesting person, and with him and Teresa Teng and Yang Ye have seen the ratings of The Voice soar.
Yang Ye raised his wine glass, touched it with him, and said with a smile: "It's so interesting!"
"It's so wet that it's broken!"
Zhang Guorong took a sip of wine, Said: "By the way, from what you said, the contestants of this show did not sign up by themselves, but the program team took the initiative to find some potential people to participate?"
"That's right!"
"Then can I recommend someone?"
Yang Yexin said, holy shit, how come they all have connections?
“Okay, who is it?”
“A young boy named Zhang Weijian. He also participated in singing competitions before, but he did not get the opportunity to be released in the film. Now he is playing a small role in some film crews. I I think he was pretty good, so it’s a pity that he was buried.”
Yang Ye nodded and said: "Then let him try. You are too helpful!" (End of Chapter)
