Chapter 218

(To be revised)

There are not many strong new songs on the Dragon and Tiger list during this time, and Ye Dexian's "Tired" stands out a little, if PolyGram can produce Cheng Weiliang's popular songs to hit the charts as soon as possible, it should be able to occupy the top ten positions on the charts in the first week. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Then in the third and fourth weeks of the leaderboard, the weekly champion will be considered if the goal is achieved! If you can go one step further and reach the top in the second week, then the result is even better!

After leaving Xu Guanjie and Guan Zhengjie, the company urgently needs to come up with some achievements to prove that Polygram is still the boss of the industry. In view of the strong challenge of the rival Huaxing Records in recent years, the rookie singing contest jointly launched by the opponent and TVB has attracted countless potential newcomers, so Polygram also plans to hold an amateur singing contest in District 18 next year to supplement some potential newcomers.

Zhang Xueyou, one of the four kings of later generations, won the championship in one fell swoop after participating in the first singing contest held by Polygram in 1984 and became a signed singer of Polygram Records, which led to Zhang Xueyou's later brilliant singing career.

In this life, Polygram unexpectedly recruited Cheng Weiliang, a new force in the music scene, and naturally wanted to reuse it. However, because of the twenty-two songs he sang, the style was divided into several genres. There are love songs, there are non-love songs, there are rock style, pop, folk songs, there are fresh and timeless styles, there are lovelorn sadness, there are passionate and inspirational, there are unrestrained enthusiasm, and so on.

At this time, Cheng Weiliang was facing the microphone in the company's recording studio, and Zheng Donghan and another senior executive of the company were standing next to him, as well as an arranger. Cheng Weiliang sang the 22 songs he had sung before one by one, and asked the veteran musicians to listen to them live to decide which songs were suitable for the first disc that was about to enter the production process.

The company's top management can't completely agree on which songs to choose first to take the lead.

Taiwanese folk songs were all the rage when they came to Xiangjiang a few years ago, and songs of this style were easily accepted by ordinary citizens in Xiangjiang, and at the same time, they were also easily favored by radio judges and received high ratings! These two songs in the style of campus folk songs are excellent enough, and they will certainly achieve excellent results if they are selected to take the lead.

From the perspective of the market audience, market-oriented people believe that choosing the most representative urban love songs "Special Love for Special You" and "Single Love Song", or "Run", which are the most representative of all classes, is the safest first choice.

In addition, some people feel that Cheng Weiliang, an upstart in the music scene, should focus on highlighting the distinctive style of his works, and should first create his exclusive logo. Therefore, you should choose "" and ", or "" and ", these songs are distinct and refreshing.

Finally, some people said that Cheng Weiliang's songs are extremely popular among female fans, so it is better to choose "" and ", which have a high degree of support among female listeners, or the inspirational song "The First Dream".

Opinions are numerous, all parties are arguing, and they are holding each other.

After taking out the cassette and listening to it over and over again, Cheng decided to keep the basics and highlight the unique aspects of Shing Wai Leung's style, which is very different from the current HK Phil.

The market's proposal prevailed, and Jung Donghan finally made a decision, choosing the song "", which has a dynamic melody and proved to be a popular song, and "", a song with a unique style, which is eye-catching from the style to the lyrics, plus a song that caters to the tastes of female fans and has an equally beautiful melody, a total of three songs.

"" PK "" failed because "" is not only particularly popular with female fans, but also many male fans like it.

"Run" PK "Special Love for Special You" failed, although the two songs are also dynamic songs, but the latter is more simple and easy to remember in lyrics, and it is easy to be widely sung by the general public.

The two songs are modern songs with rock elements, but relatively speaking, the lyrics of "" narrate the traditional story of the Three Kingdoms that are well-known in China, and the traditional folk tales are interpreted with modern pop music, which is both fresh and traditional, and it is definitely more popular with citizens of all ages.

", the rock element is stronger, and the ears of the citizens of Xiangjiang in this era are not very affected by the somewhat "noisy" rock music. This song "" is eye-catching, but no matter from the singer's roaring singing voice or the content of the lyrics, the song style is too distinct and too extreme!

The songs selected to take the lead, Zheng Donghan, in principle, are still based on safety.

After selecting the songs, two senior musicians, Lu Dongni and O' Jinbao, urgently arranged the music for the three songs.

Cheng Weiliang's main task in the near future is to take lessons with a professional vocal training teacher every morning to help him improve his singing skills and improve some minor problems in vocal pronunciation.

In the afternoon, they will arrange music with Lutony, or learn basic etiquette from professional teachers, as well as skills training on how celebrities deal with the media and the public. It will not be until the next stage that the company will train him in stage and dance.

……

Cheng Weiliang went to Mr. Dai to make up for his vocal knowledge for five days, and after correcting a lot of small problems that he hadn't noticed before, he was urgently recalled by the company. The first is that the time is really tight, and the second is that Cheng Weiliang himself has a considerable musical foundation, and he is not a complete newcomer starting from scratch. Therefore, after studying for five days and correcting a few problems, I began to officially enter the recording studio to record.

At the same time, after referring to the opinions of Cheng Weiliang, the original author and singer, and Cheng Weiliang's original arrangement as a reference, Lu Dongni and Ao Jinbao, the two arrangers, quickly arranged the arrangements for the three songs in three days.

When Cheng Weiliang recorded the song tape at that time, the arrangement and recording of the song were very hasty, and the arrangement made him simplify, but the arrangement he wrote still had the basic framework of the original work. Now the two masters have not made much changes to the arrangement on his song belt, but have only made some perfect modifications on the original basis, and the arrangement style is basically the same as the finished product of later generations, Cheng Weiliang is very satisfied.

Once the arrangement is made, it's just waiting for the mix.

PolyGram invested most of the company's elite strength, and the senior music producer led by Kwan Weilin personally supervised him.

Don't look at Cheng Weiliang himself in a small recording studio, he recorded twelve songs in a week, and now he is recording a record, and he can't cut corners like this!

In the recording stage of the past few days, Cheng Weiliang has endured enough hardships, and the three songs have been re-recorded again and again, and the producers have helped him correct the sound word by word.

Fortunately, he has the finished songs of later generations as a reference, he has a good grasp of the rhythm of the song, and the emotional investment in the song is also handled quite delicately, so although he was corrected by the producer again and again, the speed of recording the song was not too slow because he was a novice!

Cheng Weiliang, a newcomer who has never officially released a professional record and does not know the pain of professional record recording, although he suffered a lot when recording the song, but in the end, he recorded the song in two days.

After a week of mixing and synthesis, and a total of two weeks of intense production by the whole class, on Sunday, June 19, Cheng Weiliang's Chinese song record officially debuted.

After Polygram convened some fans and media to hold a short and grand new song press conference, the songs were taken to Xiangjiang Radio and Commercial Radio to officially hit the charts.

On the day of the press conference, Director Guan told Cheng Weiliang not to be nervous. In the first week of the song's list, it is qualified to be ranked in the top 20 of the weekly list, it is very good to be in the top 10, and it is very good to be in the top 3!

Whether his songs can stand the test or not, the whole company and relevant people in the outside world, wait and see!

……

On Saturday, June 1983, in front of a record store in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island.

Cheng Weiliang held a small book signing event at this large record store today.

"Can't cut in line!" there was a long queue in front of the door, and people were anxiously counting how many people were in front of them, when suddenly there was a shout from the front of the line, a sturdy young man in a leather vest was pushing hard another boy with glasses who tried to sneak in front of a girl.

"How can you cut the line? Everyone has been queuing for a long time!"

"Why is this person so unqualified?"

"Shameless, I actually want to plug the girls' team!"

The boy with glasses saw that the line was too long, and he wanted to hurry home early to make lunch for his parents, so he wanted to be lazy, and now he was stared at by so many people, and he really wanted to find a hole in the ground to drill down. He blushed and was embarrassed to stay here any longer, thinking that he would come back tomorrow to buy it.

Naturally, the small vignette does not affect the buying sentiment of the people in line.

"Thank you! Please take the record!" Cheng Weiliang sat at a table, signed the record for a girl of fifteen or sixteen, and handed it to her with a smile.

The girl took the record with both hands and said excitedly to Cheng Weiliang: "Thank you, Cheng Weiliang! I like your songs so much, I will buy them again when you release the album." ”

A girl of the same age behind her, seeing that the girl in front of her was still grinding when she got the autograph, she couldn't help but urge her: "Hey, sister, everyone is basking in the sun, let's leave quickly when you get it." ”

The girl originally wanted to say a few more words, but Chao Chengwei Liang, who couldn't help but be embarrassed, stuck out her little tongue when she heard the words.

"It's finally me!" The girl who picked up the back excitedly handed the record in her hand to Cheng Weiliang, and looked at him with a look of hope, "Brother Sunglasses, can you write the date, today is my birthday." ”

Cheng Weiliang glanced at her, asked her name, and signed "Happy birthday to Chen Xiaojun! Always smile! Cheng Weiliang June 25, 1983."

The female student named Chen Xiaojun looked at the signature of the idol Long Feifeng Wu, she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and while taking the record, she couldn't stop thanking her! She wanted to turn around, but suddenly stopped, and asked Cheng Weiliang with a serious face: "I like that song so much", do you think there is really a reincarnation in this world?"

MyGod, another innocent girl has been poisoned by her previous nonsense story! But if you can cross over, it's really hard to say that there must be no such thing as reincarnation.

"If you think there is, he will be in your heart. Cheng Weiliang made a sharp move.

Before the girl could ask any more questions, the people behind her were urging her as before.

After signing more than a dozen, Cheng Weiliang wanted to drink some water and take a break. The sturdy young man from before, the big horn poured out a dozen records from a bag and put them on the table, ignoring the strange eyes of others, hehe smirked: "Brother Sunglasses, these dozen records were bought together on behalf of the brothers." Our brothers have been listening to you singing since Temple Street, and they have been waiting for you to release a record for a long time! Everyone says that Temple Street has finally come out with a love song prince, and who do you support if your brothers don't support you?"

"I remember you, you are the big man in the flower shirt who comes late, but always asks others to give you a place, right?" Cheng Weiliang was very impressed by this big man who always stood in the front row, liked to sing with him on the spot, but sang with a ghostly cry.

"Haha, Brother Sunglasses, that's me, do you still remember?" the big young man scratched his head embarrassedly and laughed.

……

The first record signing event on Saturday morning was very hot, Cheng Weiliang sat in front of the store, and his autograph signing hand cramped!

After signing for several female student fans, suddenly Cai Zhijian, an assistant beside him, hurriedly walked over and said in Cheng Weiliang's ear, "The boss is waiting for you in the car outside, he has something to tell you." ”

Cheng Weiliang wondered, what is there that Mr. Zheng can't wait for him to return to the company in the afternoon before talking about it? What is it that the big boss should personally go and come here to meet him?

Cheng Weiliang sat in the back seat of the car, only to see Zheng Donghan frowning, his expression was very strange, saying that worry was not like worry, saying that joy was not exactly joy, it seemed that something stumped him.

Zheng Donghan sat silently for a while before he opened his mouth to tell him what happened.

After hearing this, Cheng Weiliang couldn't help but be taken aback: "What? Mr. Zheng, you said that my friend on the radio came with news, my song "Special Love for Special You" defeated the theme song of Condor shooting "Life is Meaningful", Mei Yanfang's "Red Doubt", and Miss Teresa Teng's "Walking on the Road of Life", about to top the Chinese song dragon and tiger list this week?"

"Yes, the first week on the list, the rocket rose to the top of the championship! Do you know, this is a very rare phenomenon, and it represents a great honor! Although your saliva song is lower than the other three songs in the judges' score, do you know the on-demand rate of this song this week? Do you know how many records have been sold in the past two days?" Zheng Donghan's voice was very steady, but the slight tremor in his voice made Cheng Weiliang feel the passion he couldn't hide.

"Every Saturday at noon, Heung Kong Radio will announce the top 20 songs of the week on the radio program, and in two hours, you will be the champion of the week!" (To be continued.) )
