Chapter 0079 Unknowingly Called Brother
After entering the recording studio and seeing the few people inside, Tang Huan finally felt Fang Yihua's sincerity for the cooperation between the two sides, and the smile quickly spread from the corner of his mouth, "Ms. Fang has a heart, thank you." ”
Fang Yihua's heart was relieved, and at the same time he sighed secretly, this Mr. Tang, don't look at his young age, it's really not easy to fool, for the arrangement of his "Farewell My Concubine", he even played the trump card.
Tang Huan couldn't be dissatisfied, because he saw Gu Jiahui and Huang Zhan here.
The former has long been a priceless treasure of TVB, and the latter signed a contract with TVB in 1978 to exclusively write TV drama lyrics.
Since then, the two have worked together seamlessly, becoming the much-talked-about "Huihuang" group, and composed many classic theme songs for TVB TV dramas in the 1970s and 1980s.
Tang Huan's plagiarized "Shang_ Beach", the theme song of its original time and space, was written by these two, but now it has been cut off.
Seeing such a talent, Tang Huan had to admire TVB's profound heritage.
Gu Jiahui came to Hong Kong at the age of 17, and at first lived with his sister Gu Mei in a wooden house in Kowloon, working for the laboratory of a foreign company during the day and studying at night at night.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Gu Mei became popular because she sang the theme song of the movie.
Seeing that his sister often practiced singing, Gu Jiahui became interested in music and became a pianist through study.
In the 1960s, he was sponsored by Run Run Shaw to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston.
After returning from school, Koo Ka-fai first composed soundtracks for films at Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, and then joined TVB as the music director.
In the 1950s and 1960s, when Huangmei tunes were popular in Xiangjiang, Gu Mei recorded "The Legend of the White Snake", but because her vocal range was alto, the famous composer Wang Fuling asked her to raise her voice, so she was hoarse for a while, which led to the abandonment of the song selections recorded for the movies "Blue and Black", "Idiotic Waiting" and "Boat", and her singing career has encountered a bottleneck since then.
Therefore, from 1963, Gu Mei studied painting with Zhao Shaoang of the Lingnan School, and became a painter with a unique painting style and many solo exhibitions.
It can be seen from this how talented the Gu family sisters and brothers are in art.
Although Tang Huan "wrote the lyrics and composed" "Farewell My Concubine" in a grand manner, in terms of specific arrangement, there must be someone to be responsible, and Fang Yihua handed over this task to Gu Jiahui.
Therefore, after the greetings, Tang Huan sincerely thanked him, "It's clumsy for bothering everyone." ”
Gu Jiahui smiled in return, his eyes revealed a kind of inquisitive curiosity, Huang Zhan spoke more directly, and urged repeatedly: "Tang Sheng, we are waiting for you to show your singing voice." ”
Tang Huan's thickness is enough for him to calmly face the criticism of professionals, if he makes a fool of himself, it will be regarded as entertainment.
What's more, Tang Huan's music foundation is also good, although it is not a natural sound, but it is also a remarkable standard male voice, and when he sang with Deng Lijun's wife, he also got the other party's affirmation.
Coupled with Tang Huan's usual calmness, the audition process went unusually smoothly, and he sang the unique taste of the song "Farewell My Concubine", which gave people an amazing feeling.
When everyone saw that they didn't see the joke of cross-border failure, they all applauded and accepted the facts in front of them.
After all, Xiangjiang, a small place, has gathered talents from all over the world, and the threshold of the so-called amazing move has already been raised very high.
For example, Guan Zhengjie, who sang the TV series episode of "Silkworm Transformation" and "Tianlong Jue" on Weili's TV, is a famous amateur singer, and he is an architect.
Another example is Chen Baiqiang, who has recently begun to emerge in the music world, and he is a rich son.
Besides, Huang Zhan, who was called a ghost genius at the scene, was originally from the advertising industry, but now he is not doing the same thing as lyrics and media creation.
Tang Huan smiled and asked, "At this level, you can record a MV." ”
Seeing Gu Jiahui and Huang Zhan nodding their heads, Tang Huan's eyes rolled, "I have already thought of the theme song of the TV series "Shang_ Beach", it is rare that both of them are here, please help guide me, and when it is officially announced, your name can be signed." ”
Tang Huan said, took out a golden pen, took the note, wrote hard, and quickly wrote the lyrics and songs of the popular "On the Beach", and signed two checks for 20,000 Hong Kong dollars respectively, and pushed them together.
"This is the pen fee, please laugh at it." Tang Huan looked at Gu Jiahui and Huang Zhan sincerely, with the current fame and status of these two, this song must be related to them.
What's more, in the original time and space, the episode of "Shang_ Beach" was originally the work of the Hui Huang duo, and the right to return to the original owner in disguise.
Since you want to brush up your reputation, you have to complete the task and make sure that nothing goes wrong.
"20,000 Hong Kong dollars, Tang Sheng is really bold, then I'm welcome." Huang Zhan, who is 8 years younger, is far more free and easy than Gu Jiahui, looking like he is not afraid of meat and vegetables, picking up the check, picking up the lyrics and shaking his head and watching it.
Seeing this scene, Fang Yihua felt a little unhappy, TVB, Huang Zhan, Gu Jiahui's TV series lyrics and music cooperation agreement is exclusive, but in front of himself, Tang Huan took advantage of the loophole, and it is not good to reprimand Huang Zhan, how can you take on private work, this big man is a hot and sought-after product.
Tang Huan noticed this detail and almost laughed out loud, I have to say that with the capital of arrogance, people's waists are also hard.
This Huang Zhan is really a wonderful person, whether it is literary or human.
In 1975, he created the slogan "Two is enough" for the Hong Kong Family Planning Steering Association to promote birth control, which became the most common quote used by couples when talking about how many children they wanted to have.
"As soon as Remy Martin opens, good things will come naturally", which is also an advertisement from Huang Zhan's hand.
Of course, as a great talent, Huang Zhan has never been less elegant and profound in the lyrics for the theme song of the TV series. Change is eternal", which has become a habitual phrase that laments the unpredictability of the world; "I travel alone in a thousand mountains, I don't have to send each other" in "Chu Liuxiang" has also become an elegy for bidding farewell to relatives.
In the field of advertising, Huang Zhan has also made remarkable achievements.
In 1970, he became the co-creative director of Huamei Advertising Agency, becoming the first Xiangjiang to receive the Clio Award, the highest honor in American advertising.
In addition, Huang Zhan is also a businessman.
In 1973, he and his friends formed the "Baoding Film Company".
In 1976, because of his love for the talented girl Lin Yanni, he divorced his wife with a young daughter, the famous singer Hua Wa, and founded Huang & Lin Advertising Company with Lin Yanni in the same year.
It can be said that although he is already a well-known and successful person, Huang Zhan's style of acting is still reckless and uninhibited, and when dealing with him, he can go straight.
……
The waves are rushing, the waves are thousands of miles, the rivers are never-ending,
Scouring up the things of the world, mixed up with a surging trend,
Whether it is joy or sorrow, I can't tell the difference between laughter and sorrow in the waves,
Success or failure, the waves do not see what is not there.
……
"Good words, this is destined to be another famous song." Huang Zhan could naturally understand the score, and after chanting a few words in a low voice, he praised loudly.
Fang Yihua glanced at Huang Zhan, who was full of intoxication, and couldn't help but scold, can you have some discipline, although you take money to do things, you can't tout it so obviously.
"Brother Hui, take a look." After Huang Zhan handed the note to Gu Jiahui, he squinted his eyes and savored it carefully.
Gu Jiahui slapped his hand gently, and his face also showed a look of joy when he saw the hunt.
Seeing that Gu Jiahui was also serious, Fang Yihua thought about it and asked Tang Huan with a smile, "Is this song also sung by Tang Shenglai?" ”
Tang Huan shook his head, "How can I have so much time to be distracted in this regard, not to mention that this song is not as special as "Farewell My Concubine" with the charm of Peking Opera, I have already thought about the candidate." ”
"That's right." Fang Yihua, who failed to get the bargain, showed a disappointed look on his face.
Huo Dagongzi, an outsider, looked bored, and urged Tang Huan, "What kind of song is it, you sing it." ”
Tang Huan smiled and shook his head, how could such a classic song be displayed casually.
The people who came this time were too miscellaneous, and it was difficult to record with peace of mind, so I had to wait for the next time, which just happened to let Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui further optimize the arrangement of "Farewell My Concubine", as well as polish the theme song of "Shang_ Beach".
Thinking of this, Tang Huan got up and said goodbye, "Ms. Fang, thank you for your cooperation, I have it all in my heart." In terms of cooperation, I handed it over to the secretary Hu Yinmeng to follow up, and we communicated and coordinated more. ”
After leaving the recording studio, pulling up Guan Zhilin, who had been waiting obediently next to him, Tang Huan said to Huo Dagongzi again: "Sister Jiahui and I are going to prepare the dresses for the evening banquet, you can do it yourself." ”
Grand Master Huo patted Tang Huan's shoulder in understanding, "Then don't delay your business, brother." ”
Hearing that the other party deliberately emphasized the word "business", Tang Huan couldn't help but roll his eyes, did he look anxious?
"Brother Huan, I didn't expect you to be so talented." Guan Zhilin's big eyes flashed with little stars, and her tone was full of admiration, and even the title unconsciously followed Tang Huan's sister's name and became Brother Huan.
"My brother knows a lot of things, and after a long time, you will be able to understand." Tang Huan gently squeezed Guan Zhilin's little hand.
Guan Zhilin didn't notice anything wrong, and gave Tang Huan a smile sweetly.
