Chapter 340: Celebration Banquet

In May, Alan Tam's "Late Spring" and Leslie Cheung's "The Wind Continues to Blow" are still fighting, "Late Spring" has achieved triple platinum sales, and "The Wind Continues to Blow" has also obtained double platinum statistics.

Regardless of who wins or loses in the last two, one thing is for sure, Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung will soar because of this record, and as long as the next two records remain above the standard, then they will be firmly among the top singers in Hong Kong's music scene.

At the same time, the second rookie singing contest, which attracted countless eyeballs from Hong Kong citizens, also officially came to an end.

The gold medal of the competition was won by Lu Fang, the second and third places were Sun Mingguang and Deng Zhiyu, Lu Fang, Chen Lang had also heard of it, but Sun Guangming and Deng Zhiyu were not impressed at all, and it seemed that they had not achieved much.

Speaking of Lu Fang, this is also a pathetic character.

Lu Fang is relatively short, but his music is very good, and Lu Fang, who emerged in 85 years in his previous life, somewhat reflects the "conscience" of the starting point of the new producers in the music scene back then.

Just because, Lu Fang is indeed a person who can sing.

In fact, Lu Fang's star journey should be quite flat, in his memory, there was already a good song like "Please Tell Me Clearly" in 84, and the rookie created by Huaxing was naturally highly praised by wireless, debuted in early 84, and in 85, he could already have three candidate songs in TVB's four seasons and tied with Leslie Cheung, second only to Alan Tam (six candidate songs).

"Unheard Talk" was selected as one of the top ten Chinese golden songs and top ten golden songs in the same year, and dramas such as "Barefoot Gentleman" played the leading role and became the object of wireless support.

Lu Fang's music career is difficult to accurately summarize in one adjective.

If you want to say that he is a "flash in the pan", but he has sung a lot of masterpieces at different times.

If he is a "meteor" character, many people still miss him to this day.

But with his own singing strength, the huge contrast between his flash-top appearance and his lightning-like silence is incomprehensible. ”

In the era of Tan Meizhang and others, singers with potential were not ambitious, which can be described as "time".

When the atmosphere in the music world changed suddenly, and idolized singers dominated the music scene and became the mainstream, powerful singers were unsatisfactory, which can be described as "luck".

"Time" and "luck" have passed by Lu Fang, and all he has left is "art", but his "art" is also debatable.

He can have Rowan's "voice", but he doesn't have Rowan's "color", he can have Jacky Cheung's "singing skills", but he doesn't have Jacky Cheung's "breakthrough" on the road of singing.

If Lu Fang and Li Keqin belong to the same "singing and pronunciation machine", Li Keqin is at least a little more 'youthful' than Lu Fang.

Muna, honest, and single, have become Lu Fang's sketch depictions, the nostalgic trend can have palace-level figures such as Xu Guanjie, and the new trend can accept rebellious hippies, but will never accept a hazy pig's eyes, no village in front of the village, no store in the back, is the deformity of the music scene, but also Lu Fang's helplessness.

What can you do if you have a good voice and don't have a proper and timely image route?

Of course, this world is multidimensional, and there are still some spaces supporting Lu Fang, but they are just relatively narrow.

His mellow, mellow voice, unmarked singing skills, and simple personal image all earned him the impression of being a 'representative of old songs' in this new society.

"Old Songs Listen to Lu Fang", I don't know how many people have said this, maybe Lu Fang, who lives in the new era, will feel helpless when he hears this, because he has also worked hard and shined.

The entertainment trend and shallow sense of acceptance have ruined countless people, and Lu Fang is also one of them, but his silence should not be entirely blamed on the trend, and his own line is also limited.

When the state of mind is in urgent need of peace of mind and wants to recall the simple past, you might as well listen to Lu Fang, a light and pure song "You Made Me Happy". "I look at you, you look at me, I look at you, I look back at me, I feel too much......", you will find that Lu Fang once "existed", and some of his songs existed in the heart.

Yes, there are really too many "feelings", and it is "impossible to stop, escape, or forget" that has been buried in my heart for thousands of years.

Just like Lu Fang, although he is short, although he is outdated, his little light will always stay in the hearts of listeners who are nostalgic for old songs.

Or, just what it is, it's his Style.

Thinking of this sad and lamentable, Chen Lang shook his head with a sigh, in this glamorous world of flowers, its cruelty and helplessness are a hundred times better than that of the ordinary world.

"Why are you sighing here, Lang Lang?" Alan Tam walked over at this time, with a happy face, now this guy is proud of the spring breeze, and everyone is smiling.

"You're so busy with publicity, why do you still have time to come over?" Chen Lang gave this proud guy a punch and asked curiously.

Now is really the time when Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung are in the middle of a fierce battle, Chen Lang thinks that this guy can't come.

"Today is a big day when Lijun has sold a total of 5 million records on Polygram Records since 1975, setting a record for the sales of Chinese singers. Alan Tam didn't care if he was punched by Chen Lang, he was in a really beautiful mood.

"Yes, 5 million copies sold in Hong Kong, I don't know when I will reach this achievement." Chen Lang was also stunned when he heard the sales of 5 million.

"It's an astronomical amount, but your three records, one five platinum, one seven platinum, and one six platinum, add up to more than 900,000 copies, and you only took two years, so you can probably achieve this in less than ten years." Alan Tam said.

"What are you two talking about here?" Teresa Teng, the protagonist of the celebration banquet, came over.

"We are all saying that Sister Jun, your songs are sweet and beautiful, and our admiration for you is like a surging river, like the Yellow River flooding out of control......"

"You little slippery head, you know how to make me happy." Teresa Teng nodded on Chen Lang's head and said with a smile, "This year, both of your records are selling well, and your popularity is getting higher and higher, and old singers like us have long lost their status." ”

"Lijun, what Lang Lang said is right, being too modest is pride." Alan Tam also exaggerated that the relationship between the two is also very good.

"Okay, I'm not going to joke with you, Aaron, your record is going to continue to work hard, and strive to surpass Lang Lang." Teresa Teng looked at Chen Lang and said without a proper attitude.

In fact, Chen Lang is at most active in front of others, and only in front of people who are particularly close to him will he be so casual, although Teresa Teng said so, she was very happy in her heart.

"Don't worry, it's more than a minute for this kid." Alan Tam also cooperated.

Chen Lang pursed his lips and expressed disdain.

"By the way, Lang Lang, you are about to graduate, which university are you going to apply for?" Teresa Teng diverted the topic, and Alan Tam was also a little curious.

"I'm going to apply for the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts."

"Is there such a university in Hong Kong?" Alan Tam and Teresa Teng thought about it for a long time and were not impressed.

"Not yet, because the university won't be officially established until next year."

"Then you'll graduate in June, what are you going to do?"

"I'm writing scripts, and I'll probably be an actor and screenwriter in the future." Chen Lang shrugged his shoulders and said casually.

"The novels you write are hot/selling, and it shouldn't be difficult to be a screenwriter." Teresa Teng nodded appreciatively.

Alan Tam frowned slightly, "Won't this affect your singing career?" I know this very well. ”

"It's still a little impactful, but it shouldn't have much impact, by the way, Sister Jun, do you have any plans for the future?" Chen Lang is still thinking about the song he wrote for Teresa Teng.

"I'll release another album in June, and the songs you wrote for me will be included, and there will be a concert at the end of the year, and I will probably go to Japan next year." Teresa Teng seemed to be a little emotional.

Chen Lang was moved in his heart, after the fake protection/photo incident, Japan restricted Teresa Teng's entry for two years, which ruined Teresa Teng's hot singing career in Japan.

Now it's time to get up from where you fall, and prepare to fight Japan again.

"Then I wish Sister Jun in advance that you will become popular in Japan again."
