Chapter 203
(To be revised)
During this period, Cheng Weiliang practiced singing and martial arts during the day, lived in a simple house in the Diamond Mountain area, and avoided his eyes and ears at night and went out to sing. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info fine standard goes to the bank, jewelry and gold shop every day, and occasionally goes to inquire about usury, gunfire and other news in various places. In order to confuse the direction of the snooper's judgment. During this period, he had determined that the stalker was a person sent by Brother Ken through reverse tracking, although he could not find out the true intentions of Brother Ken, Cheng Weiliang instinctively felt that he had to be careful of this person.
Cheng Weiliang sat outside for a long time, and finally decided not to return to Diamond Hill from tonight.
He found a small remote hotel in the area near Diamond Hill to stay, and called Brother Ming, a fellow villager of Fine Label, and asked him to bring the master tape of the record with Fine Label to meet him at this small hotel.
It was already more than 11 o'clock in the evening, and Brother Ming came together with the fine standard.
"Brother Liang, what happened today?" asked as soon as the fine mark entered the door.
"Ah Liang, has things changed?" Brother Ming knew some of Cheng Weiliang's plans, and he was well-connected and helped Cheng Weiliang a lot. Brother Ming is in his early thirties, but he came to Xiangjiang in the mid-sixties and when he was a teenager to work hard, and he has experienced a lot of ups and downs in society.
Cheng Weiliang took the master tape of the record from the fine label, went to the glass of water to the fine label and Brother Ming, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, tonight did encounter a big emergency, but overall, it's a good thing!"
"Brother Liang, what's the matter with your face and hands? You got into a fight with someone? You tell me! You're like this, how can you still say it's a good thing?" In the dim light, he suddenly found the scars on Brother Liang's face and body, and he shouted excitedly.
Brother Ming also looked at Cheng Weiliang suspiciously.
"It's okay, a little accident, it doesn't matter anymore. Cheng Weiliang waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter. He walked over and turned on the TV and tuned into the sub-video channel.
"Brother Ming, what did Boss Chen say about the Boss Chen who asked you to contact yesterday?" Cheng Weiliang got the hastily made record master tape during the day today, and he had asked Brother Ming two days ago to help contact Boss Chen, a well-known local distributor of pirated records, to consult related matters.
The middleman said that Boss Chen was only interested in the records of famous singers, and he was not interested at all in the things that the nobody made by himself, "Brother Ming is a little embarrassed, he didn't do this well."
"What about the other three?"
"One family has the same meaning as Boss Chen, and the other one says that yours is a Chinese song, and even if it is cheap, the pirated tape will not sell many boxes." The last boss Wang, after listening to my introduction to you, he was very interested, because he has a younger brother who lives in Temple Street and has heard you sing there. However, this channel is not wide enough, and he can't get into the territory in some areas. Brother Ming introduced them one by one.
"It's okay, arrange for me to meet with Boss Wang tomorrow. You can also start at the factory, so let's record 10,000 boxes first. Cheng Weiliang thought about it for a while and immediately made a decision.
The fine label was a little puzzled, "Brother Liang, didn't you say that it would take a few more days, and the song would be released after the spread was wider and the conditions were ripe?
"Ten thousand boxes, isn't it a bit much, in case...... Why don't you make 5,000 boxes first?" Brother Ming was a little worried, afraid that Cheng Weiliang would be too aggressive. After all, he really has no experience in the pirated song tape business.
"Look!" Cheng Weiliang suddenly walked over, turned up the sound of the TV, and pointed to the TV screen to Brother Ming.
Suddenly turned up the sound of the TV, there was a familiar singing voice, the fine mark did not need to listen carefully, at a glance I recognized this as Brother Liang's voice, it was the dynamic melody of the song ""!
"Haha, Brother Liang, Brother Liang, you're really on TV!" Xibiao stared at the TV screen without blinking, so excited that he clapped his hands all of a sudden, and suddenly shook Wei Liang's arm again.
Rao is a person with a lot of experience like Brother Ming, and he can't help but be surprised. Although he had heard Cheng Weiliang mention it before that it wouldn't be long before he could be on the TV news, he still felt incredible when he heard it and saw it with his own eyes. Cheng Weiliang, a smuggler who had just arrived in Xiangjiang for three or four months and had not yet gained a firm foothold, actually did such a big thing! I think that when he first arrived, he didn't understand fart, his eyes were black, and he followed his fellow villagers to fight, cut people, and grab turf.
I saw that the voice of the song was getting quieter, and the news announcer's voice became clearer, "Recently, some citizens have reported that a mysterious genius singer has recently appeared on Temple Street, and this station has sent capable reporters to conduct interviews...... The pop songs he sang were well received by the surrounding citizens, and Tin Hau Temple Square was crowded with people every night......"
"Tonight, I changed the past and sang a song, and the scene was extremely hot and hot, and I gained countless fans...... The songs he composed have a variety of styles and mysterious identities, and he is affectionately called 'Brother Sunglasses' by hardcore fans...... After the singing, the mysterious singer had a physical altercation with suspected members of the club...... A policewoman intervened at the scene...... This station will conduct in-depth tracking of the incident, please continue to pay attention to the follow-up of the news. ”
In the TV news, the various scenes of the singing scene are constantly switched, and the announcer's voice fades in and out along with the picture narration. It briefly introduces Cheng Weiliang's situation and the grand occasion of tonight's concert, and selects ten of the song clips to play, each of which takes about a second time. At the end of the news, Cheng Weiliang was knocked off his sunglasses three times, and suddenly turned around, facing the real face of the camera with a moment of surprise and anger. All of a sudden, all the viewers in front of the TV were deeply impressed by the singer's face in that shot.
"Brother Liang, you were ...... by that policewoman Hit like this?" the fine mark was both angry and incredulous.
"Ahem!" Cheng Weiliang coughed deliberately, and he didn't speak.
Brother Ming saw that Cheng Weiliang was a little embarrassed, and between him and the policewoman, it was estimated that there was some inside story, so Brother Ming quickly changed the topic: "Ah Liang, you were exposed by TV in advance, so the ripe time you said before is now, right?"
Cheng Weiliang nodded, "That's right, as soon as the TV news is broadcast, other media will follow up, and my popularity will immediately expand, and the songs will spread more widely." The media hype can help us do excellent advertising in the short term, and the song tape will definitely be bought out by curious fans. So, we need to bring the product to market early. ”
There is another sentence that Cheng Weiliang didn't say, the DAO version of the song tape actually doesn't make much money, and the big head must be taken away by the DAO version publisher, what Cheng Weiliang cares about is the sales of the song tape. This was his bargaining chip with the record company.
……
That night, after Chen Shulan took the news materials back to the station, several heads on duty of the information department made a decision on the spot after urgent deliberation, and urgently edited several highlights from the concert, which were combined with the footage of the later conflict incident to make a news video of more than a minute, which was first broadcast on the midnight news that night.
Because it was midnight, not many people saw the news, but by the next day, this new event in the Xiangjiang music scene was constantly broadcast to the general public in ATV's morning, noon and evening news broadcasts.
Late-night news, in fact, there are not many viewers, but these small number of viewers become tap water, and the next day it automatically spreads to the surrounding crowd, arousing the curiosity of more citizens. With exclusive news videos, ATV has an advantage over other newspaper print media, and ATV's morning news and noon and evening news ratings suddenly skyrocketed by 30% compared with usual.
Early the next morning, in addition to ATV, three other newspapers and media reported on last night's incident. Tiantian Daily made a certain amount of coverage in the entertainment section, but among them, the largest and most detailed report was the Oriental Daily, one of the newspapers with the largest circulation in Hong Kong. In a more conspicuous position on the front page of the entertainment section, not only did Cheng Weiliang's large-scale avatar be published exclusively, but it was also more detailed in terms of content. not only reported the grand occasion of the singing scene, but also quoted the original words of many fans, and made a brief comment on Cheng Weiliang and his songs. With a clear and captured photo of the mysterious singer's complex expression, Oriental Daily was frantically snapped up by curious citizens, and its sales stood out among the major newspapers in Hong Kong that day.
Oriental Daily's sales on the day were up 20 percent from previous days. The editor-in-chief of the newspaper rewarded the reporter Luo Da who grabbed the exclusive clear positive photo.
Although the reporter of Tiantian Daily was also at the scene last night and grabbed the news, the news he published in the newspaper was not large, and the content of the report was only decent.
In contrast, the Luo Da reporter of the Oriental Daily was much more sensitive, and had a premonition that the news would be popular, so he made a lot of detailed reports on the singers, songs, and the singing scene that night. And in order to attract the attention of readers to the greatest extent, his position is quite undisciplined, without the support of enough information, he hyped up the mysterious singer, saying how well the singer sings, how much the fans are sought after, and how the songs he writes are shocking to the fans' attention, and he can be called the most talented genius singer-songwriter Yunyun!
In addition to touting the mysterious singer Brother Sunglasses, the reporter also used a considerable amount of space to render the pathos of the genius singer.
The article directly said that although Brother Sunglasses was full of musical talent, he fell into Temple Street for some reason to sing, although he dedicated many good songs to the audience on Temple Street, but the income from singing every night was only thirty or forty yuan, and his life was miserable. For this reason, the reporter also attached a photo of a nightclub boy, holding a transparent plastic bag containing a large number of one-millimeter, five-millimeter, one-yuan, and a small number of five-yuan coins of various colors, with a disdainful expression on his face.
At the end of the article, reporter Luo used incendiary words to call on the majority of fans to actively cheer, and even called on Heung Kong Records to cherish the new generation of music talents and quickly help Brother Sunglasses get out of the current predicament.
This report aroused great curiosity and sympathy among the general public readers.
In the minute-long dynamic news clip broadcast by ATV, the general public noticed that a cool young man with sunglasses stood on the stage, holding a guitar and singing passionately in front of the microphone in the frenzied cheers of the dense crowd around him, and from time to time he made a few stage movements that caused fans to cheer even more. Each song is edited into a short clip of only ten seconds of singing live, and the singers in it are sometimes affectionate, sometimes hot, and the audience is even more fascinated by the singers!
The audience in front of the television also discovered that most of the songs sung by the singers in the temple street grass platform concert in the mouth of the news announcer were very good, and they were not inferior to the popular songs in the song charts of the major radio and television stations at present, but they had never heard a single one! Only a small number of citizens seemed to remember that there were many songs in it, and they were not the songs that the hotline listeners asked for in the radio song ordering program a few days ago? It turned out that the songs that were the main points were all sung by this mysterious singer!
The video news broadcast of the television station and the detailed and in-depth text of the print media made the efforts of the two major media at the same time, and at once millions of citizens of Xiangjiang got to know this previously unknown "genius singer"! After the May issue, this new thing in the local entertainment circle in Xiangjiang was spread by word of mouth through colleagues, classmates, neighbors, and neighbors, and so on, and the name of "Brother Sunglasses" on Temple Street spread all over Xiangjiang overnight.
On this day, many ordinary citizens are asking, where is the so-called genius singer who suddenly appeared?
On this day, many fans were thinking, this song has never been seen, it can't really be all written by this mysterious singer, right?
Compared with other small citizens who look at this new thing in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, the major record companies and entertainment agents are not so leisurely. Today, as if they had smelled something fishy, they all showed their powers and sent people to check these songs, as well as the background of the singers. Some went to the police station to inquire, some went to ask ATV reporters for information, and some went to Temple Street Square to inquire about the surrounding fans.
And some well-informed record companies, which have already noticed Cheng Weiliang, are a little angry! They scolded Oriental Daily, what does it mean that Hong Kong record companies do not know how to cherish talents, and let musical geniuses fall into Temple Street to sing and sing? Mom, that kid ignores us!
They have long noticed the existence of Brother Sunglasses, and they have also sent their subordinates to contact Cheng Weiliang, but the singer is reluctant to communicate with them, and there has been no progress.
"What? You found his address today, but the building was empty?" In the office of the general manager of Polygram Records, general manager Zheng Donghan stared at his subordinates angrily.
Zhong Yihao took out a tissue and wiped the sweat droplets on his forehead, "Yes, yes." I sent someone to follow him before, but I found out that he probably lived in the area of Xinpogang and Diamond Hill. I got his real photos this morning, asked people all the way, and when I found the wooden house where he lived in Diamond Hill, he and his roommate were nowhere to be found. After waiting there for a day, they didn't come back, and the surrounding villagers said that in the past, Cheng Weiliang would go to the mountains early in the morning to fight a set of punches, but they didn't see him this morning. ”
"His name is Cheng Weiliang? Are you sure he is really a smuggling from the mainland?" Zheng Donghan unconsciously tapped his fingers on the handrail, while thinking thoughtfully.
He claimed to be. Zhong Yihao replied affirmatively, and added, "At least several villagers said so." ”
"The mainland has now introduced some pop songs, but the composers over there know how to compose this style of pop music?" Zheng Donghan shook his head, very skeptical, but quickly gave another instruction: "No matter what method, dig three feet into the ground, and find out Cheng Weiliang for me before others."
