Chapter 548 The Palace of Singers


As soon as Lao Lang returned to the capital, he was asked to see Yang Ye.

After singing a song in front of Yang Ye, he went to Hong Kong.

The singers who finally take the stage will have to undergo a short-term training to practice typhoon and other things.

Be sure to get the first impression as soon as the program is broadcast.

Taiwan’s campus folk songs were once very popular, giving birth to many outstanding folk singers such as Luo Dayou and Liu Wenzheng.

Hong Kong in the 1980s also gave birth to outstanding folk singers such as Au Ruiqiang.

But purely in terms of singing, the best folk singer was born in the mainland, and that is Lao Lang.

However, Lao Lang does not have strong creative ability like Luo Dayou and Ou Ruiqiang. He needs Xiao Dajin to give him blessings.

When Yang Ye saw Lao Lang, he did not see Xiao Da Jin, who was wandering.

His songs, such as "My Deskmate" and "The Wandering Singer's Lover", were written during this wandering process.

...

Back in Hong Kong, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has been put into production, with a box office of more than 20 million, which is not very good.

The main reason is that the subject matter is not attractive enough. Hong Kong audiences are not very interested in the People's Liberation Army fighting bandits.

Although "The Secret of the Dragon" is also a story from the Mainland, it talks about Brother Wen, immigrants, and fake masters, which are taboo subjects and social hot topics, so it is naturally different.

However, compared to the Hong Kong box office of the original Time and Space, which was only over one million, this box office is already very good.

The main reason is that Hong Kong and the mainland are not so separated now, and the current generation of Hong Kong people still have feelings for the mainland that are thicker than water.

Moreover, subject matter aside, in terms of just a fun film, this is really fun.

In addition, this film was not released during a popular period, and Yang Ye did not hold a premiere in Hong Kong. It was relatively low-key, which was also the reason for the low box office.

If you can get a good schedule and do a full set of publicity, it will be no problem to exceed 30 million.

……

In fact, within Baiyang Company, there are still some objections to Yang Ye making such a movie.

They didn’t understand why Yang Ye suddenly took pictures of such red subjects.

At the annual summary meeting after returning to Hong Kong, Xu Feng took out the box office statistical report of films released by Baiyang Pictures in the past year. The data showed:

Due to the appreciation of the yen, Japan has It firmly occupies the second largest film market in the world, surpassing the United Kingdom and France.

Due to its rapid development in the past decade, mainland China has surpassed Hong Kong and become the second largest film market in Asia.

However, this market is relatively closed, and currently only Baiyang Pictures and Yindu Organization can provide films for it.

As for South Korea, the number of moviegoers in Seoul has exceeded one million. Counting all of South Korea, it is close to Hong Kong.

Over in Taiwan, the box office in the Greater Taipei area has exceeded NT$100 million, which is basically the same as Hong Kong in Taiwan combined.

Yang Ye said: "In five years at most, the Hong Kong film market will fall to the fifth place in Asia.

When overseas markets grow, local people will be eager to watch their own films. Movies.

Local governments will also choose to support their own film industries.

Hong Kong movies have ushered in extreme prosperity, but after all, we only have one city.

According to my prediction, Hong Kong movies will decline within five years at most.

So, despite the flowers blooming now, there is actually a hidden crisis.

Perhaps, heaven and hell are only in an instant.

We are not Hollywood, and we have the powerful United States to protect us.

If we want to develop in the long term, we must plan ahead.

While Hong Kong films are still strong, while mainland and Korean films have not yet developed.

Put our tentacles in, form a close cooperative relationship, and get a share of each other’s market dividends...! ”

Yang Ye’s words are a bit alarmist for Hong Kong movies that are currently advancing rapidly.

But everyone who has followed Yang Ye for so long knows that he has an extremely long-term vision and his foresight of the market has always been very accurate.

Now that Yang Ye said this, we understand Yang Ye’s purpose of running to South Korea and mainland China in the past six months.

Everyone likes to see this kind of advance planning and staking out land, and will naturally work hard to cooperate.

To be honest, with the current size of Poplar Pictures, it is a bit unfair to say that it is a Hong Kong film company.

Everyone is also ambitious and hopes to build the company into a large multinational group.

...

Ren Xianqi dragged his suitcase, carried a guitar, and followed the staff of Baiyang Agency into a building.

“The students of The Voice live on the 18th floor, sharing a room with two people. The company will provide lunch during class. You can prepare your own dinner in the dormitory. There are many restaurants nearby. The company will provide lunch during the training period. I will give you living expenses."

After a while, I came to the 18th floor, found room six, took out the key and opened the door, shouting: "Old wolf!"

"Hey!" The young man poked his head out of the kitchen with a spatula in hand.

The staff introduced: "This is Ren Xianqi, and he will be your roommate from now on. This is Lao Lang, you will take care of each other from now on, I will leave first!"

After the staff left, Ren Xianqi and Lao Lang interacted with each other. Introduction: "Hello, I am Ren Xianqi, from Taiwan, your surname is Lao?"

"Hello, my name is Wang Yang, from Beijing. Lao Lang is my stage name, because I like to sing in unison. Qin's "Wolf". "

Ren Xianqi felt a little excited when he saw a Beijinger for the first time: "That's it, I thought your surname was Lao, you were cooking!"< br>
Lao Lang also met a Taiwanese for the first time, and said enthusiastically: "Yes, I'm making fried noodles. Have you eaten?"

"No."

"We'll eat together then. Let me treat you to try our old Beijing noodles with soybean paste."

"Okay, I lived in a military village when I was a child and ate at my neighbor's house. Pass."

Lao Lang returned to the kitchen and started to stretch the noodles. He was very good at stretching the noodles until they were several meters long, which was an eye-opener for Ren Xianqi.

While stretching his noodles, the old wolf asked: "What is a military village?"

"Many Taiwanese people came from the mainland decades ago, and the houses built by the government to house them are called military villages."

"So your family also came from the mainland?"
< br>"Yes, my father is from Wuhan, so I am from Hubei."

That night, a Taiwanese and a Beijinger sat together and happily ate fried noodles.

They talked in bed at night, talking about music and life, and didn't fall asleep until late at night.

...

The next day, after two record companies, Rolling Stone and Poplar, spent more than half a year, 80 singers carefully selected from four places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were officially assembled.

The first thing they did after gathering was... to watch a concert at the Coliseum.

"You are very lucky, you happened to catch up with ATV's annual New Year's Eve concert, and the company decided to let you go and experience it live."

"Wow!"
< br>

This made everyone so excited that they actually had a concert to watch as soon as they arrived. The company is really nice to everyone.

“Perhaps one day, you will also have the opportunity to stand on the stage of the Hong Kong Coliseum and sing for everyone like those celebrities. Come on!”

“Bah bang bang bang. ..."

A burst of warm applause, and everyone was full of fighting spirit!

Two buses carried the students to the Coliseum. Among them were Wang Fei and Lao Lang from the Mainland; Ren Xianqi and Zuo An'an from Taiwan; Gu Juji and Chen Xiaocun from Hong Kong; Xu Meijing and Zheng Huiyu from Malaysia; Ke Yimin and Wang Guangliang from Malaysia...

The youngest of these people have just reached adulthood, and the oldest are only in their twenties. They are the age when youth is flying and they are full of longing for the future.

They were sitting in the car, knowing each other and chatting non-stop. Soon, the bus arrived at the Coliseum, and a huge white building in the shape of an inverted pyramid appeared in front of everyone.

“This is the Coliseum!”

“I thought the Coliseum was red!”

The young singers were all lying on the windows looking out, like pilgrims.

In the past ten years, the Hong Kong Philharmonic has spread throughout Asia along with Hong Kong movies, and the Hong Kong Coliseum has also become famous, becoming a palace for Chinese singers.

Being able to hold a concert here has become the ultimate dream of many singers.

For these young singers, it is already a dream to be on the stage of the Coliseum.

……

The annual "New Year's Eve Concert" has become ATV's flagship program.

TVB struggled with ATV a few times at the beginning, but later it was really unbeatable and gave up treatment.

TVB is now putting resources into the annual Taiwan celebration party, focusing on differentiated competition with ATV.

ATV’s New Year’s Eve concert is at the end of the year, while TVB’s Taiwan celebration is in November, which means they have a party a month in advance.

And the content of the program is also richer. In addition to singing, there are also juggling, stand-up comedy and other projects, and the effect is also very good.

Nowadays, TVB’s Taiwan Celebration Party and ATV’s New Year’s Eve Concert have become must-sees for Hong Kong citizens at the end of the year, and their ratings are ridiculously high.

Every year on this day, the TV station opposite is in a mess.

If you can’t beat me, lie down!

Not long after the students of The Voice sat down in their seats, a burst of cheers suddenly burst from the stands.

Then the mountain roared and the tsunami shouted: "Sir! Sir! Sir! Sir!"

Yang Ye held Xia Meng's arm and waved to everyone together with a group of company executives.

In recent years, Baiyang Company has continued to grow and expand, with more and more employees. The New Year's Eve concert has gradually turned into the company's annual meeting, and tickets are no longer sold to the public.

The people who can come to participate are all employees and family members of the company, which is considered a benefit of the company.

Baiyang Company’s treatment is second to none in Hong Kong, with various benefits.

Making money is nothing more than increasing sources of income and reducing expenditures. Yang Ye advocated opening up sources of income and not cutting expenditures very much.

Because he has so many ways to make money, there is no need to make money by squeezing employees.

This makes working in Baiyang Company a dream job for many Hong Kong people.

Yang Ye has also become a real good person in the eyes of Hong Kong citizens, with a higher prestige than the Governor of Hong Kong.

Many Hong Kong rich people do good things to gain fame while exploiting their employees to death.

Wanda Pharaoh of later generations has a good saying: "I am most opposed to some people. The company is not doing well and the employees' income is not high. They are always doing charity outside to keep their face. You have to donate When it comes to money, let’s raise employee wages first.”

In addition, Yang Ye is engaged in the entertainment industry and has contributed so many classic movies, TV series, songs, and games to everyone, satisfying everyone's spiritual life. It would be strange not to love him!

For Yang Ye’s employees, Yang Ye is the spiritual totem of the entire company and has high prestige.

Most of these Good Voice students also admired Yang Ye very much. Infected by the employees' emotions, they couldn't help but shout along.

Lao Lang curiously asked Ren Xianqi, who had become a good friend: "Why do you call Mr. Yang Sir?"

Ren Xianqi explained: "Because Mr. Yang was officially awarded by the Queen of England. A knight of the Order of Lord Commander"

"Oh!" Old Wolf nodded, but he was a little disapproving in his heart, what kind of feudal imperialism is riding a horse.

Although Lao Lang respects Yang Ye very much, his education makes him naturally not interested in these decadent junks.

......

Yang Ye sat down in the front row and chatted casually with Xia Meng.

Not long after, the concert officially started.

The lights on the stage dimmed, and someone beside him said: "The world is vast, passers-by are in a hurry, the world is rolling, love is deep and soft, and there is a time to gather and part. How many people can see through it?"

Following this, the soul-stirring music When the sound started ringing, Ye Qianwen stood in the center of the stage and danced to the drum beats with the dancers.

The sky and the earth are long, passers-by are in a hurry, and the tide rises and falls.

How many people can see through grudges, life and death?

The mortal world is rolling, the infatuation is love, and there is a time when we gather and part ways.

Half awake and half drunk, at least I have you following me in my dreams...

The combination of the dance with Ye Qianwen's heroic appearance is already very attractive. Coupled with the fast-paced music, the atmosphere is free and easy. The singing immediately made the whole house happy.

I bet my youth on tomorrow, and you exchange your true feelings for this life.

I don’t know how much sorrow there is in the world over the years, why not take a leisurely walk...

The simple and philosophical lyrics made everyone fall in love with this song instantly.

Xia Meng sat in the audience and asked Yang Ye: "Did you write this song?"

"Yes, Sally is going to enter the Taiwan market. Is it good to write a song to support her career?"

Xia Meng gave a thumbs up: "Well written, free and easy, atmospheric, and nice to listen to!"

This song is very ear-catching, coupled with dynamic dance, Ye Qianwen is on the stage It was beautiful and sassy, ​​and the audience was all excited.

Ye Qianwen was obviously having a blast singing too. She suddenly took off her coat, revealing a pair of pink bras, which trembled with the dynamic music.

"Wow!"

It was so generous that many spectators in the audience whistled excitedly.

Ye Qianwen jumped to the point of forgetfulness, waved to Yang Ye in the audience, and even winked at her charmingly.

Besides the top executives of the company, Yang Ye was surrounded by a group of celebrities. Everyone immediately started cheering for Yang Ye to come on stage.

Although Yang Ye has a high prestige in the company, he is also an entertainment figure, and his image is not serious and old-fashioned.

After being encouraged by everyone, he stood up from his seat, pressed his hands on the stage, jumped up easily, and performed a dance show with Ye Qianwen on the spot.

“Wow!”

There was a sudden roar of screams from the audience, and various whistles came and went.

After the song ended, the audience shouted excitedly: "Sir! Sir!"

Yang Ye held the microphone in one hand and put his hand on Ye Qianwen's shoulder and said: " Don't shout, don't shout, you are taking away all the limelight from our Sally, how can this be done?"

The audience understood what was going on, and shouted together: "Sally! Sally!"

Yang Ye laughed loudly, and Ye Qianwen couldn't help laughing. She took the microphone and asked: "Everyone, this song Does it sound good?”

“It sounds good!”

“Do you know who wrote it?”

Yang Ye was delighted: "You are so smart!"

Ye Qianwen said: "I am very happy that Sir Alex can write a song for me, but I would like to ask on behalf of the audience, why did you write such a song? ”

“This song is about an attitude towards life. It is not easy for us to come into this world, so we naturally have to live a more relaxed life, everyone said, right?”

“ Yes!”

“I decided that when I die, I will not play sad music, but just play this song “Walk in a Chic Style” and go straight to the crematorium.”

"Hahaha!"

This was the first song, which set off the climax of the whole party. All the young The Voice students couldn't stop watching, wishing they could stand on the stage and come on A song. (End of this chapter)
