Chapter 423 Departure to Taiwan
After coming out of Zhong Chuhong's apartment, Chen Lang took a taxi back home.
At this time, Chen's family was empty, Chen's father and mother had gone to work, and her sister Chen Yun didn't know where she went.
Seeing that there was no one at home, Chen Lang, who had nothing to do, sat on the sofa and picked up the newspaper and read it.
The entertainment pages of several newspapers were full of reports about last night's awards ceremony, and with the exception of Ming Pao, the front page headlines were all about Chen Lang winning the most popular male singer.
Seeing himself holding the trophy in the newspaper, Chen Lang was still happy, his three years of hard work finally got the desired result and became the first superstar in the new generation of singers.
However, Chen Lang also knows that this year is the year of Alan Tam's crazy rise and foundation for superstar status, and the challenges faced by Chen Lang are very serious.
The first two parts of Alan Tam's "Love Trilogy" were both released this year, but this year Chen Lang is going to set up an LL record company, and at the same time, he will enter school in September this year, in addition to a novel to write, and LL Film Company is just getting started.
With the continuous development of Chen Lang's career, Chen Lang will become more and more busy in the future, and how to take into account multiple aspects also gives Chen Lang a headache.
Finally, Chen Lang read the report of "Ming Pao", because "Ming Pao" has always been trusted by the citizens because of its rigorous and fair newspaper purpose, and Chen Lang is also one of them.
Seeing that "Ming Pao" wrote that the Hong Kong music scene has officially entered a new era, Chen Lang nodded silently.
In the previous life, the new generation took the position, and many outstanding newcomers emerged, while the older generation has declined in popularity, but its status is still stable, and the Hong Kong music scene can be described as a hundred flowers.
But after Alan Tam, who released the "Love Trilogy", became a superstar, he relied on the terrifying number of releases and the excellent quality of each record to directly enter the altar.
It wasn't until 1986 that Leslie Cheung caught up and formed Tan Zhang's hegemony, and there was also Chen Baiqiang, who was eyeing him from the side, and Anita Mui, who was the leader in the field of female singers, and the four became representative figures in the Hong Kong music scene, collectively known as Tan Zhang Mei Chen.
Of course, in the mid-to-late 80s, there were still five golden flowers in terms of female singers, and at the same time, the Hong Kong music scene ushered in a golden period of band groups.
The islands, winds, storms, forbidden areas, BlueJeans, Tat Ming faction, Tai Chi, Ukiyo-e, Beyond, Dream Theatre, citybiet, Raidas, Grasshopper and many more have added a lot of color to the Hong Kong music scene in the 80s.
However, in the current Hong Kong music scene, the new generation has given birth to a superstar Chen Lang, and it is no longer Alan Tam who will face the challenge of many superstars who have left their mark in the golden age of the Hong Kong music scene in the future, but Chen Lang.
No one can influence the historical trajectory of the Hong Kong music scene gradually moving towards its peak in the future, but the singers who shine brightly in the golden age of the music scene are likely to change because of Chen Lang's outlier.
Thinking that the future will be challenged by all the red stars in the 80s music scene, Chen Lang's heart is full of enthusiasm, and he will be reborn in a big era, so he will naturally be vigorous.
What is in front of me is the first part of Alan Tam's love trilogy, a myth in the music world in his previous life, Chen Lang promised Huaxing to record another record, just to compete with this record.
It's just that Chen Lang hasn't thought about the songs of the latest record yet.
Chen Lang, who was thinking, suddenly heard the phone ringing, and he could only put down his thoughts about the record first.
"Hello, I'm Chen Lang!"
"Lang Lang, I'm your Uncle Liu." Manager Liu's laughter came from the phone.
"Uncle Liu, is there something wrong?" Chen Lang smiled wryly when he heard this, this must be a reminder.
"Editor-in-chief Wang asked me to ask how your new book is being prepared." Manager Liu said.
"The new novel is being prepared for writing, and the first volume will probably not be available to the Oriental Daily until a year later." Chen Lang said secretly, sure enough.
"That's great! What genre is the new novel? Is it a new genre? Manager Liu was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and asked eagerly.
"It's not a new genre, I'm going to write a historical novel." The corners of Chen Lang's mouth curled up in an arc.
"Historical fiction? You say your next novel is a historical novel? Manager Liu shouted in shock when he heard this.
How did Chen Lang come up with the idea of writing historical novels? Manager Liu's mind was full of question marks at this time.
History has always given people the feeling of solemnity and seriousness, but at the same time, it also means that it is boring and boring, and if you are not interested, you will definitely be drowsy when you read it.
Could it be that Chen Lang was stimulated? Or arrogance? Think writing any type of fiction yourself would be welcome?
Or can Chen Lang really write a somewhat different history? But history is like that, how to write it to look good and arouse the interest of readers?
Manager Liu is really puzzled, but judging from Chen Lang's past performance, it seems that he will not be untargeted.
"My next novel is indeed historical, but it may be a little different from the historical fiction that everyone remembers." Chen Lang heard Manager Liu's exclamation and smiled secretly.
"But can history really be written beautifully? Even for someone like me who is old and has a certain cultural foundation, sometimes I can't see history. ”
Although Manager Liu has always had confidence in Chen Lang, this time he was really a little shaken.
"Don't worry, I know it in my own heart, I won't joke with my golden signboard, if you really don't worry, I'll show you after I've written it, and you'll know the reason." Chen Lang didn't care.
"Okay, then...... Then I told Editor-in-Chief Wang like this. Manager Liu said helplessly when he heard this.
"Are you sure it's historical fiction?" Still a little unconvinced, Manager Liu asked again.
"Yes." Chen Lang replied with a smile.
"Not changing?" Manager Liu still didn't give up.
"I really won't change it, okay, you just tell Editor-in-Chief Wang like this, I'll hang up." Chen Lang shook his head with a smile and hung up the phone.
Manager Liu still hesitated when he took the phone, and in the end, he had no choice but to tell Editor-in-Chief Wang truthfully that Chen Lang's next novel was a historical matter.
Editor-in-chief Wang also felt incredulous when he heard this, and even wondered if he had heard it wrong, and only after repeated confirmation did editor-in-chief Wang confirm the news, but he also couldn't accept this fact.
Editor-in-chief Wang was full of thoughts in an instant, and Chen Lang became arrogant? Or is it irritated? Or ...... Or is Chen Lang not going to cooperate with "Oriental Daily"?
In the end, Editor-in-Chief Wang reported this matter to Ma Chengkun, and Ma Chengkun was also shocked and frowned.
"Recently, I heard that there are other newspapers that have been in close contact with Chen Lang?" Ma Chengkun asked.
"This ...... Almost all newspapers have been in close contact with Chen Lang. Editor-in-Chief Wang blinked.
"Uh...... Then we don't have any unpleasantness with Chen Lang, right? Ma Chengkun paused when he heard this.
Chan has been the focus of all newspapers, as he has always been the most popular singer in Hong Kong and is now the best-selling fiction writer in Asia.
There are many people who want to poach Chen Lang, but Chen Lang has always been unapologetic to other newspapers, and the cooperation between the two sides has always been very pleasant.
But Chen Lang's decision to write a historical novel was really unexpected by everyone, and it also made everyone unoptimistic, even if all of Chen Lang's previous works were excellent.
"No, we have always worked together very happily, could it be that Chen Lang dislikes the small manuscript fee?" Editor-in-chief Wang said.
"300 words per thousand words is already the highest remuneration in Hong Kong, and do you think Chen Lang is short of this money?" Ma Chengkun said helplessly.
The current Chen Lang's assets are definitely not less than 10 million, and this manuscript fee is really not worth mentioning for Chen Lang.
"That's true, but even if other newspapers are the same as us, it's not feasible to let a multimillionaire change jobs, right?" Editor-in-chief Wang said.
"That is, Chen Lang really wants to try historical novels?" Ma Chengkun smiled bitterly.
"Maybe." Editor-in-chief Wang also smiled bitterly.
Just when Ma Chengkun and Wang were speculating wildly about Chen Lang's next historical novel, Chen Lang had already started writing his new novel.
Chen Lang knew that everyone's first reaction should be the same as Manager Liu, but Chen Lang, who had memories of his previous life, naturally knew the terrifying achievements of this novel.
When the family came back in the evening, they celebrated Chen Lang again.
"I really didn't expect my brother to become a superstar that everyone in Hong Kong knows and everyone knows." Chen Yun said with a smile.
"yes, these three years of life have been turned upside down." Chen's mother looked at her son with pride and emotion.
"Okay, let's not talk about that." Father Chen smiled and waved his hand.
"Lang Lang, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the company is going to hold an annual meeting, Mr. Zheng asked if you can take the time to go to Taiwan and participate in the company's annual meeting in Taiwan."
"No problem, of course, but Taiwan's should be arranged as early as possible, and the company's annual meeting in Hong Kong can't be missed." Chen Lang nodded when he heard this.
"Mr. Zheng has already arranged it, February 2 is in Taiwan, February 5 is in Hong Kong, it will not affect everyone's New Year, and the work has been coordinated." Father Chen continued.
"That's three days later, I'm fine, just go to Taiwan to see the company's specific situation." Chen Lang didn't have any arrangements for the year, this is the advantage of being his own boss.
"I'm going with you, and I'm also going to be a financial director."
"By the way, sister, you're going to take the university entrance exam this year, how are you studying? Which university are you going to apply to? ”
Chen Lang remembered that Chen Yun was now in the seventh grade, and he would apply for the university entrance examination in September this year, but he had already been decided.
"Your sister has good grades, so naturally she is going to be admitted to the University of Hong Kong." Mother Chen said with a smile.
"The University of Hong Kong, it's the best university in Hong Kong, and it's also a world-famous university, but it's a pity that I didn't have a chance." Chen Lang exaggerated.
"You've become a big star, and you've made so much money, do you still care about a Hong Kong university?" Chen Yun said disdainfully.
"Huh...... If you are admitted to the University of Hong Kong, then a Beetle is too shabby, or how about you travel the world during the summer vacation? You can go with your classmates, and I cover all the expenses. Chen Lang waved his hand, and he was arrogant.
Although the Chen family is also a billionaire, their life is not much different from the past, and they still maintain the living habits of middle-class families in the past, and they give Chen Yun a lot of pocket money, but it is not much, and Chen Yun does not spend money indiscriminately, they have all saved, which Chen Lang knows.
"Okay, I'll go around the world with my classmates in the summer!" Chen Yun said happily when he heard this.
"Forget about traveling around the world, many places are dangerous, you are still so young and a girl, it is better to go to Hawaii for a few days and come back, and then travel the world when you are older, anyway, you are still young and have time." Chen's mother was worried about her daughter's danger.
"That's right, don't go too far, be safe." Father Chen also nodded.
"Okay." Chen Yun had no choice but to agree.
In the next three days, there were still a lot of reports about Chen Lang from the outside world, and countless media wanted to interview Chen Lang but were all refused.
Chen Lang stayed at home and wrote novels until three days later he flew to Taiwan with Chen's father.
