"Hmm...... He is very personable, very gentlemanly, and has a very mellow voice......," Deng Lijun recalled, "I tried to sing a cappella in front of him, and he thought it was good, but his agent didn't seem to be optimistic about this cooperation." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Leave that agent alone, the CAA is already in contact with Higgins, and with Ovitz's ability, it won't be too difficult to poach him in the past. Li Xu waved his hand, "What do you think of that song, do you like it?"

"Like, very much. Speaking of that song, Teresa Teng became a little excited, "It's very beautiful, and it fits the movie very well, even if my English is very average, I can understand the feelings in it, and the person who wrote this song is really amazing." ”

When she said the last sentence, her eyes looked at Li Xu without blinking, as if she wanted to see something.

"It's really amazing, if only I could find him. Li Xu said quietly.

The English song prepared for Teresa Teng is "Casablanca", which has nothing to do with that classic movie, that is, the lyrics have sentences like watching "Casablanca" in a drive-in theater, but that kind of parting mood is very consistent with the movie, so it is very popular as soon as it is launched in another time and space.

This song is not difficult, the key is whether the feelings are in place, so Li Xu planned to use this to let Teresa Teng try to enter the American market, and found the original author to escort him.

Yes, the songwriter of the original song was Beddy Higgins.

As before, after Li Xu sang it, he found a professional to sort out the lyrics and songs.

The difference is that Li Xu directly recorded the cappella with a tape this time, let himself listen to it a few times first, make sure that there is no problem, and then hand it over to a professional to deal with.

As I said before, you can't let the musician sort out the tune by humming the tune, there can only be two situations, either you don't have all the five notes, or the person you invite is not professional enough.

Oh, and now I have to add that you don't have enough money, so people can think about it slowly.

Of course, composition and arrangement are two different things, and I believe many people must not be able to figure it out, after all, sometimes, with a different arrangement or a different interpretation, the song can go up or down the next level.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Chinese singers are naturally discriminated against in the English song market, Li Xuting would have tried to let Teresa Teng release the song "Casablanca" alone.

With Higgins escorting, even if he will take away most of the honor, as long as Teresa Teng can have such a name, the next thing will be much easier.

Even if the talks fall apart in the end, it doesn't matter, Li Xu can choose many more English songs than Japanese songs -- the Japanese single for Teresa Teng was originally intended to use "Midnight Serenade", but after carefully recalling it, I found that many Japanese songs that are more well-known in the mainland do not sell well in Japan.

In other words, those sales are replaced by ordinary Chinese singers, which is already very good, but if you want to dominate, it is impossible to be the best.

But the songs at the top of the 80s in my memory are not suitable for Teresa Teng, so she can't be asked to be cute and cute on stage like Seiko Matsuda, right?

Therefore, picking and choosing, I actually found that the most suitable for her was actually the songs that made her comeback in Japan in another time and space, such as the "つぐない" in the style of hit, which was also translated as "Repayment" or "Atonement".

I have to say that Toyohisa Araki and Tsuyoshi Miki are really powerful, and several of Teresa Teng's best-selling Japanese songs in the mid-80s were created by them together.

Naturally, it's them this time, and the songwriter above, well, in addition to the usual anonymous, will also write their names.

In short, a Chinese singer can enter both the Japanese market and the English market, and there is no need to say what kind of repercussions it will cause in the Chinese circle.

And not only Teresa Teng, if the development goes smoothly in the future, there will be many people who will continue to be in the same vein of sweet songs.

"Oh......" Deng Lijun replied with some disappointment, "Then will I start preparing now?"

"Yes, now think about it carefully, and when the arrangement is completed, you can just get started," Li Xu nodded, "Don't worry, Ovitz promised me that he would get this done as soon as possible, and I won't stay in Hong Kong for too long." You can live here for a while, and help Qingxia take care of Fengjiao by the way. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Qingxia again: "You two are alumni, so you usually get closer to each other." ”

As a result, the two women who heard this sentence were stunned, and they showed embarrassed expressions when they thought of something, and after looking at each other, they quickly moved away, and their faces were a little red.

Li Xu was a little puzzled at first, but soon understood what was going on, and couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Shuanglin has only double-flown once at present, Lin Fengjiao is pregnant, but after Deng Lijun and Zhao Yazhi lived in this villa together, they still flew Shuanglin several times, and they did not avoid Shuanglin.

And Deng Lijun and Zhao Yazhi have always been, they were very resistant at first, half-pushing and half-hugging each other, but after entering the best place, they will play happily together.

So when he asked Lin Qingxia and Deng Lijun to get closer, it was not surprising that they would have some associations.

But he didn't break it, anyway, he had been planning to put the four of them on the same bed, and it was not a misunderstanding, so he turned his head to look at Zhao Yazhi: "What about Yazhi, is there anything else to say before I leave?"

"I ......" Zhao Yazhi hesitated, but still asked, "Ah Xu, you said that I should learn acting, why...... Do you want me to learn to sing?"

"Because by the end of this year at the latest, I will arrange a Republic of China drama for you, and I want you to sing the theme song. Li Xu said, "You don't need to sing as well as Teresa, as long as you have a certain amount of singing skills and can reach a passing level - of course, the average level is better." ”

"But...... But ......" Zhao Yazhi was extremely puzzled.

"I want to make your TV drama image deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, of course, I have to think something special. Li Xu said with a smile, "By the way, the Chinese should also be practiced well, your Hong Kong accent is still a little heavy." ”

"I'm not you......" Zhao Yazhi muttered in a low voice, without saying anything more, she listened to his words and went to receive acting training, not to mention practicing Chinese and singing?

Li Xu's purpose is very simple, after ten years, he will be on the horse "The Legend of the New White Lady", and let Zhao Yazhi sing it himself.

In another time and space, her dialogue and singing voice are all dubbed by Zhang Zhuhui, although it does not affect Zhao Yazhi's image and the classicism of the TV series, but if she dubbs and sings by herself, it will undoubtedly make the level of classicism go to the next level.

Since the goal of this life is to play the entertainment industry - to play with plasticine - it is also a good challenge to take this classic to the next level, isn't it?

Anyway, there are still ten years to go, if targeted training is carried out for such a long time, and Zhao Yazhi can't be sung, then this TV series should not be filmed.

After pacifying this side, Li Xu flew straight to Hong Kong, because the 747 dad happened to use it, so he had to charter a passenger plane, and there were nearly two months left before the summer vacation.

The reason why I went to Hong Kong at this time was to take a few more days off, not because I wanted to make any movies and TV series, Wang Jing was still interning in the crew of "Officers and Gentlemen" while studying, so he used to shoot the table.

"I made it very clear at the beginning of the year that I don't care how much profit you get, I just care if I get enough respect. It's normal for you to have your own ideas, and it's normal for you to have your own hills and valleys in your chest that you want to implement, but Uncle He was invited by me, shouldn't you show respect?" In the conference hall of Star TV, Li Xu said in a small but stern tone.

The executives attending the meeting basically had a wooden face, and a few were still depressed, Huang Xizhao frowned, looking very embarrassed, and the three heroes led by Mai Dangxiong looked a little unconvinced.

As for He Zuozhi, the old god was sitting at the top, as if there was something that had nothing to do with him.

"Mr. Li, this matter is indeed their problem," after Li Xu finished speaking, Huang Xizhao spoke, "But there is no need to be so big...... Such a big battle, right?"

"Oh, so what does General Manager Huang think I should do?" Li Xu asked very politely.

"I'm not trying to excuse them," Huang Xizhao smiled wryly, "but let ICAC come to arrest people...... This will have a big impact on the image of the TV station. ”

"That's your business. Li Xu said indifferently, "I know what you mean, General Manager Huang, just drive them out of the TV station, not only to clean up the inside, warn everyone, but also to maintain the TV station." ”

He paused, glancing at the conference room, "And then, how soon, there will be a second or third person like that?"

As soon as this sentence came out, many people looked embarrassed, especially Huang Xizhao's people.

The reason for the incident is very simple, half a month ago, ICAC went directly to the TV station and arrested two senior executives of the Administration Department, on suspicion of corruption, and the evidence is conclusive, and it has been handed over to the Department of Justice, and the lawsuit will be filed in advance in the near future.

This incident has caused a lot of trouble in the past half a month, and the news is second only to the assassination of Reagan, and the image of Star TV has also been greatly affected.

Originally, in the past two months, because TVB has changed its strategy, although Mai Dangxiong and his team have produced a TV series of acceptable quality, they have not formed a crushing trend as before.

Now TVB seized the opportunity of ICAC's arrest of the senior management of Star TV to hack them, and took advantage of their internal chaos to launch a short and capable TV series, which actually stole a lot of ratings. As a result, the advantages formed after the broadcast of "Hero Huo Yuanjia" not only did not expand, but had a tendency to be flattened.

Huang Xizhao was very annoyed by this, but when he inquired later, he didn't know what to say, because it was none other than Edward Li, the boss of Star TV, who stabbed the two executives for corruption and bribery.

Of course, Li Xu did not contact ICAC directly, but people inside the Hong Kong government privately told Huang Xizhao that Li Xu had greeted them and wanted to deal with the two executives.

This is a bit of a pain, do you have a platform like this?!(To be continued.) )
