Chapter 164
(To be revised)
"Junjun, look! Is that him?" Zeng Huaqian shook her sister's arm excitedly, and when she just looked out the window, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the back of a person who had just gotten off the bus. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Don't shake it, I'm about to be broken up by you!"
"That one of yours!"
"Ahh Because the guy seemed to be avoiding her, and didn't say a word to her all afternoon, which made her so depressed that her sisters were not even interested in going shopping. Now listening to her good friend talk about him, she immediately sat up straight.
"It's really inhumane with the opposite sex, you looked dead just now! As soon as you talk about him, you will be in good spirits! People are teasing you!" Lan Xie Ying saw her listless appearance before, so she asked a few sisters to drag her to go shopping together. Now seeing her uncompetitive look, I really can't wait to wake her up, a man who has only known each other for a day, as for this?
"No, I swear I actually saw him, with a guitar on his back! Look behind you. "The taxi was speeding down the road and quickly overtook the bus stop. Zeng Huaqian looked at the figure who was getting farther and farther away through the back window, although the other party was wearing sunglasses, but the noon scene was so impressive that she was almost sure that he was him!
"Stop!" several sisters look at each other, and then almost at the same time shout to stop, so frightened that the driver shuddered and hit the brakes. If it weren't for the quick reaction and blocking it with his hands, the sisters would have knocked out a bag on their heads!
was kicked out of the car by the taxi driver, and the four sisters thought of the thrilling scene just now, and they all felt a little funny. Zeng Huaqian held Lan Jieying with one hand and Liu Jialing with the other, and said to Wu Junru excitedly: "Let's go, sisters! Let's follow and see where he goes to sing." β
After Cheng Weiliang got off the bus, he walked all the way through the neon-lit and lively Temple Street, and turned into the Yung Shutou Square of Tin Hau Temple. As he walked past the entrance to the square, he spotted a rare luxury sedan parked on the side of the road. The front window was open, and the driver was bored and tapped his finger on the door from time to time. Cheng Weiliang glanced at it, and was about to cross it when the car door suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man walked out of the passenger cab.
"Hello! Mr. Cheng, please stay for a while! Do you remember the contemptible? I am Zhong Yihao of Polygram Records, and I met a few days ago. The middle-aged man opened the car door and stretched out his right hand to Cheng Weiliang.
Of course, Cheng Weiliang remembered the man who claimed to be Polygram at the time, his face was calm, but his heart was "chuckled". The other party's energy is not small.
"Hello! Mr. Zhong, I don't know what to do?" Cheng Weiliang saw him get out of the passenger seat, and his intuition made him feel that there should be someone in the back seat of the car, who could it be? Could it be that Polygram Company has finally sent a person who can talk to things?
Zhong Yihao handed over a business card again and said, "Mr. Cheng, don't worry, I won't delay you for too long." You've been here for a while, and I'm sure you've heard our Polygram records, right? I appreciate your songs, and I'm here today to ask you if you can set aside a moment after this performance and let's talk. β
Cheng Weiliang intuitively felt that someone in the car was looking at him, and the other party refused to get out of the car and talk to him directly, it seems that the other party is still hesitant, so this person's identity is estimated to be not low. Since the other party still has to think about it, he also plans to dry them again.
"Yes. But as you know, I've got another one tonight, so I only have a maximum of ten minutes in between. β
What can be talked about in such a short time, Zhong Yihao's expression was obviously choked. I don't know if this young man from the mainland is arrogant or ignorant? The most famous record company in Xiangjiang is willing to talk to him about cooperation, and this is something that many newcomers in Xiangjiang dream of, and he actually pushes it off again and again! Is it that other big companies have already taken the lead? Or does he really not want to become famous and become a singer?
Although there were many speculations in his heart, he glanced at the car secretly, and still showed a smile on his face: "Since Mr. Cheng is busy, we will try to make a long story short when we arrive." So that's it, we'll be waiting for you here when we're done. β
Dissatisfied is dissatisfied, but he is really optimistic about this young man, he has a good singing voice, and his appearance is also very suitable for becoming a star, and the most important thing is his creative talent. You must know that although the Hong Kong music scene is very lively, many songs are adapted from Japanese pop music, and there are only a few creators of local pop songs back and forth, and there is a serious shortage of fresh original talents!
In the past few days, through the information gathered through channels on Taiwan and Southeast Asia, although it is not 100% certain that those songs were composed by this young man, at least no information about these songs has been found elsewhere, which proves that the possibility of originality is extremely high. And the question of verifying the originality of the song from young people is one of the key points that we will talk about tonight. If it is finally confirmed and the contract with him is successful, discovering such a singer-songwriter will become his biggest achievement in Zhong Yihao's ten years in the industry.
"Oh my God! Polygram Records! He said at noon today that many record companies had approached him, and it was true!"
"Qiannu, are you a little more reserved, okay? What about Polygram, we will also be big stars who have swept thousands of viewers in the future!
"That's right, Xie Ying is still knowledgeable!" Liu Jialing agreed with a serious face.
"Jialing, don't pretend! You didn't have bright eyes just now! Let's congratulate Junjun, she found a potential stock!"
"I hate it! Oolong girl, don't make fun of me, let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to catch up!" Wu Junru's heart blossomed, but she still had to keep a girl's reserve in front of her good friends.
Several women secretly hung behind Cheng Weiliang, witnessing the scene just now, and they were somewhat shocked in their hearts! Now they will definitely not be as calm as Cheng Weiliang just now if they meet someone from a big record company who says they want to praise them as singers!
Compared with the curiosity and shock of her sisters, Liu Jialing had a little more indescribable meaning in her heart, she didn't expect that she had been in Xiangjiang for a few years, and she would be ridiculed from time to time!
Now she is still in the training class, and she doesn't know how many years she will have to wait before she can get ahead after graduation! But her mainland compatriots have only been here for a long time, and they are very likely to become singers. Not only happy for him, but also secretly cheering for himself. Then thinking of the look he looked at him at noon today and the words he said in public, Liu Jialing unconsciously felt a ripple in her heart.
They followed Cheng Weiliang's footsteps and entered the Banyan Shutou Square of Tin Hau Temple. Once inside, they noticed that the place seemed to be a little different from their previous memories. In the past, there were crowds of people in front of the stalls of singing, juggling, storytelling, and so on, but now the flow of people in front of the stalls is sparse, and there is not half the excitement of the last time! Haven't those people who are shopping in Temple Street come here yet? But there seem to be dozens of people gathered in that quiet corner in the northwest? Some people are standing, some are sitting on the ground, some are sitting on small stools chatting in twos and threes, and some are standing on high places looking forward to it. Is there anything new happening there?
"It's coming, it's coming!" a female voice in the crowd screamed. Soon, the place that had been relatively quiet became buzzing. The people who were originally sitting stood up one after another, and the people on the periphery tried desperately to rush inside, and for a while, the chickens and dogs jumped.
"Woo woo~ people are girls, please stop squeezing me!"
"Hit the streets! Who's going to squeeze the whole family to death again!"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Brother Rong is going to the front!"
"Li Ming, give me a place, otherwise you will look good when you go back to school tomorrow!"
"I, I...... I came first. β
The four sisters were frightened by the sudden change and stood there bewildered, not knowing what was going on. I wanted to grab the people next to me and ask, but they were in a hurry to run over there and didn't have time to pay attention to them. finally dragged a passing girl, and was told that it was a new love song prince on their temple street who was performing on the grass stage.
The sisters looked at each other with strange expressions. Cheng Weiliang is the prince of love songs here?!
"Quiet, quiet, do you want to listen to the song, get out of here if you don't want to listen!" a young man in his twenties shouted to the crowd below, holding a bullhorn. After the young man's roar, the boiling voice was really quiet.
Then a little girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old took over the horn and said softly: "Sisters, my brother is going to start singing, can everyone be quiet?"
After the persuasion of a man and a woman, one hard and one soft, when Cheng Weiliang adjusted the microphone and stereo and hung the guitar around his neck, the crowd of young people on the field finally quieted down.
Among the dozens of people present, more than a dozen of them are die-hard fans cultivated by his singing voice for many days, and they come here early every day to occupy a position and wait. He could almost remember each of their faces. One of the fans, who lives nearby, provided him with high-end microphones and sound equipment yesterday so that his singing can be heard more clearly and farther around. The man and the woman consciously volunteered to help him maintain order on the field every day, saving him a lot of trouble. He can be regarded as a little infatuated with the brain-dead fans of a certain singer and a certain star he saw in his previous life.
"Alright, it's almost time to start. Sit down in the front 4 rows and don't block the people behind. Be self-conscious!" the young man called, his family lived in Temple Street, and after graduating from middle school, he worked as a helper in his uncle's rice shop, but he preferred music. As soon as you have money, go to the record store to find some of the latest European, American and local popular music.
A few days ago, I heard from a friend that there was a new singer on Temple Street, who sang well. Originally, he was a little disdainful, he had lived in Temple Street for more than ten years, and he had never seen anything? The old-fashioned opera sung there at Rongshutou was liked by any young people besides the old man and the old lady? There were occasional modern songs sung by singers, but the quality could not be put on the stage, and could only be spread in a small area around Temple Street. As a result, he was dragged by a friend to listen to it once, and he was immediately fascinated. It turns out that Chinese songs can also sing the popular style of Western songs, and he has the most feelings about "" and the combination of ancient and modern "", and he is not tired of listening to it several times.
When I heard that it was about to start, many people poured in from the surrounding stalls and outside. Looking at the black pressure below, Cheng Weiliang had a guitar hanging obliquely around his neck, he walked to the stage, held the microphone that was fixed in front of him, and was about to speak, when suddenly he caught a glimpse of the figure of the man Zhong Yihao just now, and there was a man in a suit who still felt extraordinary even if he looked at it from a distance.
That must be the person in the car, right? Looks like he has a good status in the company. Polygram is worthy of being the boss of the 708090s in the Xiangjiang music scene, and in the golden decade of the music scene, it has stubbornly suppressed other local and foreign record industry giants in Xiangjiang, and has firmly sat on the top spot for more than ten or twenty years.
He has discovered and packaged many superstars who will shine in the future, and Jacky Cheung is a very successful example. When only small companies were in contact with him, and other big record companies had not moved, they had already sent company heavyweights to contact and consider him.
Cheng Weiliang smiled at the corner of his mouth, and spoke into the microphone to his audience for the first time in history: "Friends, thank you for your support these days! Thank you for liking my songs!"
Everyone below was surprised to hear this mysterious singer speak for the first time, and he was still speaking in Chinese. But after thinking about it, I was not surprised, because this singer has not sung even a single Cantonese song for so many days, and it has always been a Chinese song. Everyone applauded when they heard him speak.
Suppressing the applause, he continued: "I now announce that from today onwards, the eleven songs that have been sung before will be stopped and sung again. β
Many listeners, some of whom followed him all the way, and some who came here for the past two days, heard him say that he would no longer sing, and the sound below suddenly exploded!
For the previous ten days, he had sung six songs in order every day, and kept looping through the songs, basically every song that had been on a loop for several days. The listeners who followed at the beginning were better, they had listened to each song several times, but those who came two days ago, they were not satisfied. They have only heard a few songs, but the friends who brought them here always tell them about the songs they haven't heard yet, how this song is, how that song is, and it tickles their hearts. Some songs that I think are very good, but I can't find the corresponding song disc on the market, at this time, the singer said that he will not sing it in the future, and it will not pierce the hornet's nest!
"Today, I will dedicate a brand new song to you. I hope you enjoy it!"
Hearing that there will be new songs all of a sudden, those old listeners are nostalgic for the previous songs, but they are full of longing for the new songs. When the new and old listeners continued to discuss, Cheng Weiliang continued: "However, in order to satisfy everyone's nostalgia, 4 old songs will be selected by everyone, and I will sing the last time before the new songs." β
"In addition, I have copied a few copies of the lyrics of today's new song, which will be distributed to you. β
As soon as I heard it, I could listen to the previous songs for the last time, and I immediately heard the singer say that there are not only a lot of new songs today, but also the exciting news that the lyrics are sent to everyone. Those newcomers didn't feel anything, but those old listeners who followed all the way were in tears! This singer finally found out with his conscience today! You can see how hard these old fans have followed, and there have been few Chinese songs and movies in Xiangjiang in the past ten years. For those of them who only speak Cantonese every day, without the aid of paper lyrics, it is really not so easy to fully understand the lyrics in Chinese songs by listening alone!
Pity them, music lovers, who are not even sure of the name of their favorite song, and they have to ask around tirelessly, but they can't find any information about the song! In the end, they can only make an appointment with a few like-minded people, and everyone can record the lyrics they hear little by little every day. Not only did they not tell them the name of the song, but they also refused to communicate with them! They swore that this singer, who was very mysterious in their eyes, really said more words in public today than in the past ten days combined! No wonder they couldn't help but cry bitterly when they heard that the singer was going to hand out hand-copied lyrics to them today!
Cheng Weiliang bent down and took out the ten copies of the lyrics that he had copied in advance from his bag, first divided a few copies to the familiar faces in the front row who had been supporting him these days, and then held up the remaining copies with one hand and looked around at the audience under the black pressure.
The eyebrows of those who got it fluttered, and the eyes of those who didn't get it stared at the remaining copies of his subordinates, and those who stood behind rushed forward.
"Give it to me!"
"Give it to me, I'll listen to your songs every day. β
"Brother give it to me, I'm your big fan!"
"Go, go home!"
Cheng Weiliang saw that the scene was a little chaotic, so he had to say: "Don't rob everyone, whoever falls into the hands will be whoever." It doesn't matter if you don't get it for a while, you can borrow a copy from the person who got it!" After saying that, he rolled up the lyrics and threw them one by one to different crowds, always attracting the audience below to jump up and compete for the paper thrown in the air, and the paper fell where the crowd surged and screamed and shouted.
Looking at the small-scale riots caused by his actions, Cheng Weiliang could only apologize slightly: I'm sorry! I need you to create some talking points for the media and others!
"Cheng Weiliang! Cheng Weiliangβ"
Just when there was chaos below, a scream of several girls suddenly broke out on the periphery!
In the midst of the noise, an abrupt high-decibel sound suddenly appeared, and people turned their heads to look at the back row of voices with neurotic eyes.
Looking at the strange eyes of others looking at monsters, several girls blushed a little, and they lost the courage they had just now! In the end, they only weakly shouted "Cheng Weiliang" again, and then they died down.
Wait, Cheng Weiliang? Cheng Liang? Is that the name of this mysterious singer? Those girls know him? Many fans in the crowd had questions. (To be continued.) )
