Even so, these artists who first succeeded in the Japanese music scene, after the first few years of instant success, had to enrich themselves in other ways to break through the bottlenecks that followed.

Take Chen Meiling as an example, she chose to temporarily withdraw from the entertainment industry and went to the University of Toronto in Canada for further study.

In short, the so-called foreign monks chanting sutras are often a group concept. You don't have a sense of freshness in the local faction, and there will naturally be other people who will push the back waves of the Yangtze River to fill in the front waves. For individuals, once they miss the opportunity to indulge in a little thing, they need to make every effort to fight for it, and they may not be able to do so.

As one of the most successful representatives of going out from Xiangjiang to developing in Japan, Chen Meiling has developed well in her hometown through the operation of DreamWorks, and has well assisted the music career in Japan.

Appearing in the live broadcast room of Media Asia TV this time is a good opportunity for her to show her strengths, including the dynamics of the Japanese music scene including "NHK Red and White Song Battle", which is easy to come and talk about, quite a general.

The host Mao Shunjun smiled and guided the other party's topic, "Meiling, as a senior in the music industry, what advice do you have for artists who intend to go to Japan for development or further study?" ”

"As soon as you call me senior, I suddenly feel a lot older." After Chen Meiling joked, she continued: "I think the first thing should be to follow the local customs, such as language and the like, and be more specific. It's really hard to say clearly in a short period of time. But. I can give you a good example. That's DreamWorks' girl group Girls' Generation. ”

"Really?" Mao Shunjun was surprised: "I only know that these girls are very popular in Xiangjiang, in addition to singing and dancing, two comedy movies were also released this year - "Happy Ghost" and "Happy Magic" with supernatural themes, which were very successful, and the box office exceeded 10 million. ”

"In this way, they belong to idols and have strength." Chen Meiling exclaimed, "A few strong songs from Girls' Generation." They are very suitable for the video game dance machines that are very popular in Japan at the moment, so they are very popular. ”

"Dancing machines are also very popular here in Xiangjiang. For the sake of bodybuilding, I also followed the trend and bought it, but the level is still at the elementary level. Mao Shunjun laughed heartily, "Meiling, have you ever played this game?" ”

"A peek out the door." Chen Meiling nodded, "If we have time, we can exchange experiences." ”

"I'm sorry, both of you, though you're talking about sex. But I still have to interrupt. Another host, Paul Chung, chimed in.

"It's advertising time again, it's so fast!" Chen Meiling picked up the manuscript in front of her. Blocking the smile on his face.

"Today's live broadcast room is prosperous and yang." Paul Chung shook his head pretendedly, and then said at a faster pace: "Tonight, in addition to broadcasting "NHK Red and White Song Battle", Media Asia TV will also broadcast the first Symphony of Lights New Year's Eve event sponsored by Qinhe Group in Victoria Harbour. ”

"Judging from the information summarized by the reporters in front, there is a large flow of people. Although the organizers have already prepared a plan for the crowds that have accumulated over the holding of the Xiangjiang International Marathon, it is nighttime after all, so please pay attention to safety. ”

"Media Asia TV has set up a prize for this New Year's Eve event, please call the phone number displayed at the bottom of the screen to connect."

After Paul Zhong inserted this information smoothly, his eyes turned to Mao Shunjun and Chen Meiling, "I also have to participate in the topic of the two, otherwise there will be no sense of existence." ”

Mao Shunjun immediately gave Paul Zhong a roll of his eyes, "Are you complaining that I stole your limelight?" ”

"How dare I." Paul Zhong hurriedly smiled and raised his hand to forgive, "In my memory, it is the first time for such a large-scale comprehensive New Year's Eve event as the Symphony of Lights. Since you can all go off topic to the dancing machine just now, you might as well talk about this, lest I be scolded by the director after the show is over. ”

Chen Meiling stopped laughing and said thoughtfully: "In my impression, before I went to Japan to develop, that is, in the 1970s, Xiangjiang didn't seem to allow such large-scale fireworks, let alone any New Year's Eve activities. ”

"Yes, it's forbidden for historical reasons. However, during the Lunar New Year the year before, Jardine Matheson celebrated its 150th anniversary, and broke this restriction on the first day of the first lunar month by holding a fireworks display to add joy to the festival with traditional customs. Due to the good response, the event was retained and continued. This year, in order to help Hong Kong accumulate popularity, promote tourism and stimulate economic development, Qin Wo Group sponsored this New Year's Eve event in Hong Kong. Coincidentally, the New Year's Day in 1985 and the Lunar Year were very close to each other, so the Symphony of Lights New Year's Eve event also included the Lunar New Year. ”

After explaining, Paul Chung added to the camera: "At this time of festive celebration, many police officers who are dedicated to their duties, as well as staff of various public institutions, have a surge in workload, and I hope that everyone can be sympathetic and cooperate with them in carrying out their official duties." ”

"Compared to the New Year's Eve event held by Xiangjiang, which is still exploring experience, what is the situation in Japan?" Paul Zhong made a gesture of please and handed over the topic to Chen Meiling again.

Tang Huan put the crystal cup on the coffee table, looked at the TV screen, and praised with a smile: "This Paul Zhong, the hosting style is becoming more and more exquisite, and the water is not leaking." ”

"That's also thanks to your Bole for giving him a chance, otherwise, after the car accident, he really doesn't know what he can develop." Weng Jingjing grinned and gave a sycophant.

"It's just a matter of raising your hands, whether you can seize the opportunity or not depends on your personal performance." Tang Huan stroked the other party's hair dotingly, and asked casually: "The first day of the New Year's Eve event should be very lively, why don't you go around?" ”

Weng Jingjing smiled slyly, "I'll send them all out to see the excitement, and then I'll stay with you." ”

"You're such a ghost." Tang Huan was amused and laughed.

"Judging by the current situation. Qinhe, Zheru Xiangjiang, DreamWorks, Media Asia TV and other related industries. In terms of funds, technology, performances, and publicity for the New Year's Eve activities. It can be described as a tacit understanding. Weng Jingjing hugged Tang Huan's arm and commented seriously.

"You're very observant, and that's what I'm happy about. If I can integrate my various industrial resources in Xiangjiang and play a role, then its status will definitely be more than the so-called No. 1 consortium in Xiangjiang. Tang Huan nodded approvingly.

Weng Jingjing tilted her head and thought: "Huanya-1 has been successfully launched, which means that the data channel is smoother, and the response speed of the company's management in the future will definitely be much higher." ”

"It's just an optimistic prediction." Tang Huan shook his head slightly, "Technology is just a means. Whether it can exert 10% of its power depends on the specific mechanism and people. ”

"Then slowly grind in. I believe that as long as we give full play to the power of this technical system, we will be able to take Qinhe to a higher level. Weng Jingjing said with a small fist.

Tang Huan looked interesting, and patted the other party's smooth jade legs, "You, don't be too divergent in your thinking, focus on studying first, and practice your hands at the Xiangjiang Traffic Radio Station." When you graduate, you will have the opportunity to show your strength. ”

In the midst of the casual conversation between the two. "NHK Red and White Song Battle" soon began in earnest.

……

The format of "NHK Red and White Song Battle" is that female singers form a red group. The male singers form a white group, and the male and female bands are assigned according to the gender of the lead voice, and the performance of the competition nature is launched. However, in reality, the confrontation is just a gimmick, and it is mainly to serve the joyful atmosphere.

This year's "NHK Red and White Song Battle" is the 35th, the host of the red group is Mitsuko Mori, the host of the white group is Kenji Suzuki, and the general host is Keiichi Ikukata.

The first female singer to appear in the red group was Yu Harumi who participated in the "NHK Red and White Song Battle" for the second time, Tang Huan looked at it twice, and was not impressed, so he lost interest and thought about other things distractedly.

After Hu Yinmeng avoided the media in Xiangjiang and Baodao and hid in Los Angeles in the United States, the film department of DreamWorks was a little turbulent. Tang Huan went to Xiangjiang this time, and Hu Yinmeng specially asked him to pay attention to it.

However, Tang Huan didn't bother to pay attention. What he cares about is the progress of the formation of the Xiangjiang Cinema Alliance, and as for the personnel changes due to the attraction of money, he really can't see it.

With the resources that DreamWorks has now, it's not like you can support whoever you want, and there are not so many factors that affect people's success.

In Tang Huan's view, as long as DreamWorks is enough to launch a Chinese content program that meets the standards of entering Hollywood, the specific ups and downs below are all normal metabolism.

"This Akina Nakamori is your Warner artist, right?" Weng Jingjing gently nudged Tang Huan and asked.

Tang Huan, who came to his senses, glanced at the TV twice, and nodded, "It's someone from Warner Bros. Pioneer." ”

After Steve Ross knocked on the bamboo bar hard, and after taking control of Warner Music, its subsidiaries around the world were naturally taken over.

The Warner Bros. Pioneer company was founded in 1970 with a 50% stake in Warner Bros. of the United States, 25% by Watanabe of Japan, and 25% by Pioneer of Japan. But in 1978, Watanabe's capital withdrew from Warner Vanguard.

The combination of Warner Bros. Pioneer and Tang Huan's Yamaha Musical Instrument Company-invested record labels, coupled with Philips' PolyGram as an ally, began to rise in the Japanese music market, and Akina Nakamori was a clear result, and this is the second time she has participated in "NHK Red and White Song Battle".

After this round of red-white confrontation, it was finally Deng Lijun's turn to appear, and the track she sang was of course the 1984 worldwide hit song and the theme song of the movie "Protecting Flowers" "IWillAlwaysLoveYou" - "I Will Continue to Miss You".

After Deng Lijun's comeback, singles such as "Bit by Bit of Dreams" and "The First Dream" released in Japan received very good responses; Although the sad and gloomy style of "Repayment" released this year with lyrics by Toyohisa Araki and composed by Tsuyoshi Miki is not pleasing to her in terms of mood, it is in line with the general trend of urban music in the Japanese pop music scene, and the results also show this, and it has directly entered the top 10 of the Oricon public trust chart at the beginning.

Fortunately, on this "NHK Red and White Song Battle", Deng Lijun does not have to compromise again, and the Japanese want to appreciate the more influential "I Will Continue to Miss You".

Deng Lijun, who successfully completed the world tour of one billion applause, is at a new peak at this time, the aura is extremely powerful, the music appeal can simply penetrate the TV screen, and a song containing Japanese, Chinese, and English versions of "I Will Continue to Miss You" was interpreted, which suddenly overshadowed the contestants who appeared in front of her, so that another well-known Japanese female singer who appeared in the next round, Seiko Matsuda, who participated in the "NHK Red and White Song Battle" for the fifth time, also seemed to be affected.

The host in the live broadcast room of Media Asia TV praised Deng Lijun's performance status, and Chen Meiling commented admiringly: "Lijun's dress today is relatively simple compared to other artists, which reflects her strong self-confidence, and it is simply a perfect performance." ”

Weng Jingjing, whose eyes were full of little stars, slapped the sofa even more excitedly, "Oh, this is the demeanor of a world-class superstar." ”

"You shouldn't be so envious that you want to make a comeback." Tang Huan quipped.

"I was really moved just now. But when I think of the hard work, forget it. Weng Jingjing waved her hand calmly.

Deng Lijun's first appearance of "NHK Red and White Song Battle" was indeed very successful, and the average rating of "NHK Red and White Song Battle" that night was 78.1%, and after she took the stage, it instantly climbed to the highest 84.4%, and finally ended with the red group defeating the white group.

……

After watching Deng Lijun's performance on "NHK Red and White Song Battle", Tang Huan didn't continue to watch, and he didn't even care about the New Year's Eve event of Symphony of Colors broadcast by Media Asia TV, and fell asleep directly. When I opened my eyes again, it was January 1, 1985.

Zhou Liang Shuyi was the first to visit and earnestly invited: "Tang Sheng, since you have arrived in Xiangjiang, then accept an interview with Media Asia TV and say a few words for New Year's Day." ”

When Tang Huan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "I am neither the governor of Hong Kong nor the head of state, if I also learn from the way people make New Year's speeches on TV, wouldn't I want to make others laugh off their big teeth." ”

"How so?" Zhou Liang Shuyi hurriedly continued: "Yesterday's Symphony of Lights Hong Kong New Year's Eve event was very successful, and many professionals affirmed its positive role in promoting the tourism industry. I heard that after the Hong Kong International Marathon, you are planning to prepare for the Hong Kong Open Tennis Championships. The role of the former in gathering popularity is already very obvious, and I believe that the latter is not bad. Obviously, these activities will become the business card of Hong Kong, and the significance to the economy of Hong Kong can be imagined. When you make a public statement, the people who are thinking about hitchhiking and doing some small business can also be more aware of it. ”

Listening to Zhou Liang Shuyi's speech, Tang Huan, who was too lazy to show up, was finally convinced, nodded and said, "Okay, your eloquence is really amazing." ”

Zhou Liang Shuyi smiled, "I won't trouble you too much, I have already brought the interview team and are on standby in the lobby of the hotel." ”

"I'll add one more to you, it's a last resort." Tang Huan gave a thumbs up to Zhou Liang Shuyi, who got up and left, and then instructed Xie Ning, who personally delivered the "Duet" brand cookies, "Aning, my face depends on your makeup, and it must be handsome in the camera." ”

Weng Jingjing poked her head out of the bedroom with a grin and added, "The key is not to let others see the overindulgent dark circles under your eyes. (To be continued.) )
