Chapter 143: Really laughing
143
During Fang Jianhui's time in Europe and the United States, the two albums he recorded for Ye Qianwen and Anita Mui were released successively, which caused huge repercussions.
On February 1, Ye Qianwen's "Looking Back" was simultaneously launched on Taiwan Island and Xiangjiang, which quickly caused a sensation, and the title song of the album "Is It Isn't It" topped the Taiwan Island Chinese song chart in the first week of its release, and won the title for 11 consecutive weeks!
Driven by the title song, the album was coaxed as soon as it was released, and the 300,000 copies prepared in advance were sold out within a week, and Rolling Stone Records was urgently stocked, and finally a total of 750,000 copies were shipped within the year, which was equivalent to "Taking the Wrong Car", becoming another phenomenal god specialty.
In addition to the album's big hits, the critics also received rave reviews:
Wu Qian, a famous music critic on Taiwan Island: "The unprecedented success of the last album "The Wrong Car" once made me think that it would be difficult to have an album that could match it for a long time. Unexpectedly, Fang Jianhui and Ye Qianwen surprised us again. With the theme of 'Suddenly Looking Back', this album uses Ye Qianwen's explosive and wide vocal range to try more far-reaching and atmospheric works than ordinary pop songs, and portrays the contradictory and helpless mentality in the hearts of people in the changing years who are both eager for new knowledge and quite nostalgic. I can assert that this album will become another classic after "The Wrong Car"!"
Musician Luo Dazuo: "Every lyric and every syllable in the album clearly reflects the warmth and cruelty of youth. Fang Jianhui tries to use the whole album to depict the conceited and fatalistic youth that everyone has experienced. Nine works, nine different episodes of life, may or may not be connected, but the important thing is that they did happen, and they come to mind and linger when you take a step back and look at the past. β
Musician Wu Nianzhen: "In 'Is This Isn't It's', Fang Jianhui used a rock music style that is not complicated, with a clear rhythm and a compelling momentum, but Ye Qianwen's calmness always runs through the middle of the agitated song, continuing the confusion and helplessness of "Taking the Wrong Car", and singing the questions about fate vividly. β
On March 6, Anita Mui's "Bad Girl" was launched, and the response was so strong that Fang Jianhui was a little surprised.
As soon as the album was released, the title song of the same name, 'Bad Girl', became an overnight hit all over the city, and 'hy, hy, tell me hy' was almost sung by everyone.
At the suggestion of Fang Jianhui, in the cover designed by Angel Records for the album, fashion designer Liu Beiji packaged Anita Mui as a "man", and the suit with sunglasses and wide shoulder pads gave people a heroic feeling, breaking the gentle image of traditional women in one fell swoop and leaving a deep impression on the Hong Kong public.
Anita Mui's willful and rebellious style and heavy makeup led the trend of Cantonese fragrance at this time, and since the appearance of this image, many Xiangjiang girls have chased to imitate her hairstyle and stylish clothes.
On the other hand, "Bad Girl" is special in that it is the first Cantopop song to describe women's desires and reactions to love so directly.
In the social atmosphere at this time, sexiness is still a traditional taboo, and the feeling of actively expressing erotic love from a purely female perspective as described in "Bad Girl" is enough to move the audience.
The lyrics of "Bad Girl" boldly and directly portray the rebellious desire of women: "hy hy tell me hy, there is no way to be good, I secretly scolded me for becoming too bad this night." Through the singer's self-reproach description, women's desires are fully revealed to the audience for the first time.
The song "Bad Girl" not only has bold lyrics, but Anita Mui's performance and dress are also fashionable and avant-garde. The challenge to tradition soon provoked a strong backlash, with criticism in the critics creating an unusually sensational topic inside and outside the industry, and the state-run Heung Kong Radio refused to broadcast it.
Of course, the objects of criticism are all Anita Mui, Fang Jianhui is no one to criticize, everyone thinks that singing this kind of song must be Anita Mui's idea, Fang Jianhui, as an elder brother, just obeyed his sister's request.
Fortunately, Hong Kong Radio did not broadcast it, and Asia Television broadcast it, because it was too popular with the people, and other media such as wireless and commercial radio stations were not affected by the government and insisted on continuing to broadcast.
In the midst of criticism and welcome, the album sold extremely wildly, selling 400,000 copies in a week, winning eight platinums! Exceeded 720,000 copies in three months, following "Blessing", once again refreshing the sales record of Xiangjiang records! After this album, Anita Mui became popular in Xiangjiang and completely established her status as the first sister in the Xiangjiang music scene.

"Finally photographed by me!" The man looked at Fang Jianhui in the distance and smiled proudly.
This person is Li Xiaoli's husband - Jin Zhongwu, because of Li Xiaoli's departure, the other party Jianhui has a grudge and does not want to retaliate all the time. But Fang Jianhui's wealth is powerful, and it is not something that he can compete with at all.
"Hmph, Fang Jianhui, you cuckolded me, caused my wife to be separated, and now I even lost my job, this revenge is not avenged, and it is in vain. β
He can bear it, after finding out the address of Li Xiaoli's house here, he didn't make a noise, but quietly rented a room on the opposite floor, and didn't do anything every day, just holding a camera, staring at Li Xiaoli's doors and windows at any time.
After waiting for a month, he really waited for him, and when Fang Jianhui and Li Xiaoli walked into the building together, his hands were trembling with excitement.
"The hard work pays off, Fang Jianhui, Li Xiaoli, you two adulterers**, you have finally been photographed by me. β
He patted the camera in his hand: "Playing with women, destroying the family, hum, this time you will be ruined!"
Putting the camera in his backpack, Kim Jong Wu prepared to go back and print the photos.
Walking out of the elevator, Kim Jong-wu found that there were several policemen standing in front of the building.
Kim Jong-wu was just about to go out when he was stopped by the police: "Hello, please show your ID card!"
"What are you doing, check your ID card again. He grumbled, pulling out his ID.
The policeman looked at his ID, glanced at his face for a moment, and handed it back to him.
"Mr. Kim, I suspect that you are involved in a kidnapping case, please go back with us to assist in the investigation. β
"Ah, don't talk nonsense!" Admiralty was shocked: "I am a law-abiding citizen." β
The two policemen couldn't help but say something, pushed him to the ground, and took away his backpack.

Two hours later, Smith appeared in Fang's office.
"Boss, things are clear. β
"What's the situation?"
"This person's name is Kim Jong Wu, and it's Lee... The secretary's ex-husband. Smithton paused for a moment and said, "He rented a house specifically for secretly filming Secretary Li." β
"Candid photography?"
"Yes, we've searched his camera and looked at the negatives he took. β
"Is this man crazy? Fang Jianhui said to himself: "Could it be that he thinks that taking a few photos can do something to me? β
That's exactly what he thought. Smith said: "After we caught him, he admitted that he was going to use these photos to expose them in the media." β
"Which media is he going to expose to?"
He said he was going to look for "Tian Tian Daily", "Oriental Daily" and "Cheng Pao". β
"Hahaha!" Fang Jianhui really smiled: "So naΓ―ve, doesn't he know that the boss of "Tiantian Daily" and "Cheng Pao" is me?"
"I don't know. Smith couldn't help but laugh.
"By the way, why did you move so fast, catch him so quickly?"
David immediately notified the nearby police station, and within three minutes the police were on the scene and checked everyone who entered and exited the building. "He was about to go out when we stopped him, and then we went up and searched his apartment," Smith said. By all indications, he was planning for a long time. β
Fong Kim-fai's bodyguard team has maintained good communication with the Heung Kong Police Force, and the police station reacted quickly after learning that Fong Kim-fai had been threatened, and the sergeant quickly arrived at the scene and found out the truth of the matter in a very short time.
"What are the police going to do with this?"
"He just secretly took pictures and did not commit any other crimes, and the police sued him at most for violating his privacy, so he should not go to jail. β
"That's right. Fang Jianhui groaned: "Then if his ghost is not gone, what will he do next time he takes such a candid photograph?" β
Smith said, "Boss, don't worry, I know how to do it." β
"You're mistaken. Fang Jianhui looked at him, probably trying to secretly kill Jin Zhongwu, and hurriedly stopped: "You must not do anything to him." My idea is, can you think of a way to let him leave Xiangjiang and stop pestering us. β
It's just a secret shot, the crime will not lead to death, and even if he succeeds, it won't cause much harm to Fang Jianhui, if he kills people for this, it will be too angry.
Smith thought for a moment and said, "This should be okay, he is a Korean national, as long as he finds an excuse and deportes him." β
"That's good. β

"Boss!" Li Xiaoli walked into the office, crying.
"Sister Li, what's wrong?"
Li Xiaoli looked at him and asked, "It's that bastard, right?"
"Uh, how do you know. β
"I'm sorry, boss, it's all my fault for causing you trouble. β
Fang Jianhui stretched out his arms and hugged her: "Sister Li, don't think about it, what kind of trouble is this, I have taken care of it." β
Li Xiaoli leaned her head on his shoulder and sobbed quietly.
"He's not breaking the law, and the police can't do anything to him. Fang Jianhui said: "In order to prevent him from secretly filming in the future, or harassing your mother and daughter, my idea is to expel him from Xiangjiang, what do you think?"
"This bastard, I'm sorry for her, divorced and still haunted. Li Xiaoli said hatefully: "It's just to drive him away, it's too cheap for him, it's better to let him... It's good to go to jail for a few years. β
"Okay, okay, don't talk angry. Fang Jianhui said: "After all, he is Ying Ai's father, if it really happens, I'm still afraid that Ying Ai will blame me." β
Li Xiaoli's mood improved: "No, this girl, it's like she's obsessed with you, Uncle Fang is long, Uncle Fang is short, in her heart, no one is as important as you." β
"Young-ae is cute, I like her a lot and I don't want to upset her. Fang Jianhui smiled, kissed her and said, "Good, don't think about it." β
"Ah!?" When Li Xiaoli was about to turn around and go out, she suddenly heard an exclamation, and Fang Jianhui looked at it, it turned out that Bai Annie didn't know what to come back.
Bai Annie pointed at the two of them and opened her mouth: "When did you guys start?"
Li Xiaoli was like a frightened rabbit, she suddenly broke away from Fang Jianhui's embrace, lowered her head, and walked out quickly.
Dizzy, it seems that when she kissed Li Xiaoli, she saw it, and Fang Jianhui sneered: "Annie, when did you come back?"
Bai Annie went to Anle Cinema to participate in the cinema work conference instead of him, and she said with a smile: "Just came back, let me see such a wonderful scene..."
---
Bai Annie sat there, muttering incessantly, "Lunch break, hehe, lunch break." β
Li Xiaoli blushed, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at Bai Annie opposite.
Bai Annie smiled, suddenly came to Li Xiaoli's side, and said in a low voice: "Tell me, how does it taste?"
"What does it smell like?"
"Don't pretend, it's just the smell of making that with my brother?"
When it came to the end, Li Xiaoli suddenly stopped being shy, she raised her head and launched a counterattack: "That smell, don't you know better?"
"I know, in the past, you must have secretly laughed at me, I was not ashamed to laugh at me, and I was always the same as my brother. Bai Annie was not angry, and said with a smile: "Now, you have tried it yourself, and you won't laugh at me anymore." β
"I didn't laugh at you, in fact, I've always envied you. Li Xiaoli said: "The whole company, who doesn't know, you are the boss's favorite person, 365 days a year, you take it everywhere." β
"Don't be envious now, we'll be exactly the same in the future. Bai Annie said: "Actually, the first day I saw you, I felt that you would be my brother's person sooner or later, but I didn't expect that it would take so long for you to be..." β
"Why do you think so?"
"Because you're beautiful, and you have a mature charm, which is my brother's favorite type. β
"Where?" Li Xiaoli said shyly.
"Really, it's a pity that my brother is still too stupid, and he doesn't dare to tease you when he sees that you are married. β
"How do I know!" Everyone is not an outsider, after having a relationship with Fang Jianhui, Li Xiaoli felt that the relationship with Bai Annie was much closer all of a sudden, so she said what was in her heart, and said: "I thought the boss thought I was old and didn't like me." If I had known that it was because I was married, I would have left a long time ago. β
"You and my brother are both, you have ideas and don't say them in your heart, so you can make a lot of good things. β
Li Xiaoli helped Fang Jianhui explain: "Yes, I can see clearly, the boss is very self-disciplined, otherwise, with the boss's conditions, which of these female artists doesn't want to follow the boss..." β
"Yes. Bai Annie agreed: "Our position is very important, not only can we help my brother block some women who want to get into trouble, but if you meet a particularly good one, you can also take the initiative to help my brother find some." β
"Also, with the boss's personality, even if he likes it, he won't take the initiative to chase it. β
"Sister Li, you are mature and steady, and you are in charge of the human resources department, so I will help my brother think about this more in the future. β
"Hmm. β
