Chapter Ninety-Seven: Fat Mother's Singing Voice
"How much suffering and sorrow in the world, the road is also rugged to endure, if trauma, please don't panic, in fact, fate is like this, don't be afraid of the sky and the heart is higher, don't remember the pain and courage to break into my road, in case of difficulties, don't be discouraged, in fact, I haven't worked hard to go up, today I want to put aside the attachment, no look back, to see through, and then struggle, frustration and gains and losses are turned into strength......"
In the recording studio of Silver Star Records, "Fat Mom" Maria is singing loudly. This "Full of Hope" is one of the interludes of "Prison Storm" written and composed by Chen Jialuo, the tune is different from popular songs, but it shows a high-spirited atmosphere.
Teddy Robin, who was also in the studio, motioned for Maria to stop, and then pointed. Chen Jialuo took off his headphones outside, nodded at them, and didn't bother much.
"Maria's luck is still quite good, Director Chen, thank you. Luo Zhi, the owner of Silver Star Records Co., Ltd., thanked Chen Jialuo with a smile on his face, and the opportunity to sing movie interludes has never been likely to give newcomers too many opportunities.
But Chen Jialuo is very simple, except for the 'sweet honey' sung in the movie on the New Year, the rest of the movie episodes are all given to Maria to sing. And each of them is Chen Jialuo's own lyrics and music, which is a good publicity point in Luo Zhi's opinion.
Chen Jialuo said: "Boss Luo, you are too polite, the person recommended by Brother Teddy must not be wrong, and I also think she is very suitable for singing these songs." ”
Born into a poor family, due to the early death of her father, her mother asked her to drop out of school, and in order to take on the responsibility of caring for her younger siblings, at the age of 11, she began to step out of social work, she wore many hats, such as a cinema waiter, a salesperson, an office clerk, a bartender, a messenger, a factory worker, and even a flour delivery coolie. She likes to sing, and she was introduced by a friend and began her journey to start her silver career.
Maria began her singing career in 1985 at Canton Disco, where she specializes in jazz and bruces. In just two years, with her unique majestic singing voice and mesmerizing stage style, she has attracted the support of many fans and celebrities in society.
Among them, there are Luo Zhi, the owner of Silver Star Records, and Teddy Luo Bin, a famous musician and filmmaker.
Just like Lin Shanling's previous movie "Dragon and Tiger", under the recommendation of Teddy Robin, Maria not only ran back to the trick, but also sang the songs in it. This time, when Chen Jialuo's "Prison Storm" episode is sung, it is almost possible to put together a record and release it.
Now that the post-production of "Prison Storm" is nearing completion, just waiting for the release at Christmas, the reason why Chen Jialuo came to Silver Star Records was because he was invited by Teddy Robin to come.
However, he didn't think that Teddy Robin invited him to audition for the song, apparently for another reason. Otherwise, it will be recorded directly and sent over, and Chen Jialuo has no intention of pointing fingers at all in terms of recording.
……
"Teddy brother. ”
"Hello, Maria. ”
"Director Chen, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Maria shook Chen Jialuo's hand and said gratefully.
Although she is not a typical yellow-skinned and black-eyed person, her fat mother is like a fish in water in Hong Kong, which is inseparable from her swaggering temperament.
Chen Jialuo said: "You sing very well, I believe these songs will be a big hit." ”
"Haha, Arlo, we all said you were a talent when you wrote the script before. I didn't expect you to write songs, and it's also very good. Especially the song "Tao Dao Dao" in "A Chinese Ghost Story", you and Brother Zhan made such a song***, Yang Dao, Tianhou Temple Road, Queen's Road...... Laughed at me. Teddy Luo Bin pointed at Chen Jialuo and said with a smile: "It's the first time I know that songs can be written like this, but your broken gong voice is really good." ”
"Ahem...... I can't sing any other song with my tobacco and alcohol voice. ”
Speaking of "Tao Dao Dao" sung by Yan Chixia drunk and dancing sword in the movie, it was originally sung by Huang Zhan himself, but unfortunately Uncle Zhan was drunk, so Chen Jialuo must be allowed to sing, and Chen Jialuo, who came and went, was also drunk by Uncle Zhan, which led to this "Tao Dao Dao".
"The singing is still very imposing, which is very in line with the character of Yan Chixia. Teddy Luo Bin smiled and said, "Ah Zhi, borrow your office, and I'll talk to Ah Luo about something." ”
Luo Zhi said: "If the two big directors want to talk about things, how dare I stop them." ”
When Chen Jialuo followed Teddy Luobin to the office, Teddy Luobin fell onto the sofa with ease and said, "Arlo, I was kind of blind back then. A "A Chinese Ghost Story" really slapped us in the face. ”
The 'we' in Teddy Robin's mouth is none other than himself and Mecca and others. At the beginning, Chen Jialuo's "Mong Kok Night" hit the street at the box office, causing Zeng Zhiwei to be complained by Maijia and others.
At that time, the new art city was the time when comedy was all the rage. Zeng Zhiwei's brain was hot, and he supported Chen Jialuo to make a gangster film, but it couldn't be sold, and Maijia and others were naturally not optimistic about Chen Jialuo.
This society is very realistic, you can't make money, then you are a burden. Especially in the film industry, people are engaged in comedy, you can't do it if you go, and you are losing money and making money by doing something else, what's the use?
Because of this, Teddy Luo Bin at that time was also not optimistic about Chen Jialuo. Everyone knows that this young man is talented, but there are more talented young people, such as Xu Xian at the beginning, who is as impressive as he is in comedy, so Chen Jialuo naturally has no second chance.
Who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, Chen Jialuo's "A Chinese Ghost Story" sold so well, it was really a slap in the face.
"Do you know that TVB has made a movie that follows the trend of "A Chinese Ghost Story", called "Yin and Yang World", and it is now being released?! Uncle Shao Liu even turned off the Shaw Brothers movie, and he couldn't help but follow your "A Chinese Ghost Story", I really didn't expect it!" Teddy Luo Bin sighed.
Chen Jialuo said with a smile: "It's the one who praises Sister Hong Kong, and people don't care about how much box office they have." ”
followed "A Chinese Ghost Story", not to mention this "Yin and Yang World". For example, Zeng Zhiwei's "Golden Swallow", although Chen Jialuo refused to direct, it should be close to the end of filming now.
If it is just a follow-up work of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Chen Jialuo may really not know. But this "Yin and Yang World" is starring Zhou Xingxing, the future king of comedy, and he has really watched it. Zhou Xingxing in the film, dressed as 'Ning Caichen', played a 'Nie Xiaoqian' play. And the heroine is none other than Lin Yingxian, the third runner-up of this year's Miss Xiangjiang.
"Arlo, what happened about the Christmas schedule this time......"
After laying the groundwork for so long, Teddy Robin finally got to the point.
"Brother Teddy, you don't need to say much. Brother Wu and I both understand that it doesn't matter. Chen Jialuo was straightforward.
