Chapter 437: The Fifth Record

Thank you Tianfeng Xiaohao for the big reward!!

"Have you found the program planner, who is it?" Chen Lang didn't expect Wang Jing to help him find a program planner so quickly.

"It's Shen Dianxia, the pillar of "Happy Tonight", you and her should be more familiar." Wang Jing replied.

"Sister Fat and I have known each other for a long time, and I took care of me when I participated in the competition before, but Sister Fat should just be the host, does she know about program planning?"

Chen Lang was a little puzzled and worried after hearing that it was Shen Dianxia, as if there was something wrong with his major.

"The reason why Sister Fat can be called the pillar of "Happy Tonight" and even wireless is not only because she is a pistachio that everyone loves, but also because she also knows a lot about the planning of the program, and many programs and links of "Happy Tonight" are planned by Sister Fei.

She is one of the executive producers of this show, and she has been in this industry for 16 years, and she has watched and hosted many shows, which will definitely help you a lot. Wang Jing said with an oath.

"It turns out that Sister Fat is still the producer of "Happy Tonight", so it should be no problem, you give me Sister Fat's number, and I will invite her in person." Chen Lang was relieved when he heard this.

Although from Chen Lang's point of view, "Happy Tonight", the current overlord of Hong Kong's variety show, has a lot to improve, but this show can live so long and always occupy the top spot in the variety show ratings, there must be merit.

In the previous life, "The Voice of China" was undoubtedly very novel and full of selling points, but Chen Lang was worried that there were too many advanced aspects of this show that the current audience could not accept it.

Therefore, finding someone who is familiar with the door of this industry will undoubtedly make this show novel and more down-to-earth, and it will also be able to truly make "The Voice of China" popular in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, and accelerate the development of Haishan Rolling Stone Records.

After Chen Lang hung up Wang Jing's phone, he wanted to call Shen Dianxia directly, but now there is no mobile phone, even the big brother is rare, and the lady holding a big brother is even more unsightly, so Wang Jing gave Shen Dianxia's home phone, and now it is working time, there may not be anyone at home, Chen Lang has to call again at night.

There was nothing to do, Chen Lang remembered that he promised Fang Yihua to write a song for Leslie Cheung, so he picked up a pen and paper and thought about what song to plagiarize.

Leslie Cheung's famous work in the music world is "The Wind Continues to Blow", this song has been written by Chen Lang and given to Leslie Cheung, this song is Leslie Cheung's most popular song in his entire music career at present and even in the future.

His eponymous album "The Wind Continues to Blow" also sold platinum certification, although it did not win the top ten Chinese golden melody awards and the best newcomer on his first record like Anita Mui, but it still allowed him to gain widespread attention.

Although he debuted early, Leslie Cheung can only be regarded as just gaining attention in the music world, and after the rise of the new generation of singers in Hong Kong, especially after the representative Chen Lang won the most popular male singer and became a superstar in the music industry in one fell swoop, everyone knows that the Hong Kong music scene has ushered in a new generation of idols and superstars.

In addition to Chen Lang and Chen Baiqiang, who have the best performance, there are also many male singers in the new generation who have attracted attention, including Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, and Cai Fenghua.

Others, such as Zhong Zhentao, who is also a member of the Wenna band, have also been in the limelight recently, and Zhang Mingmin, who is good at folk songs and is known as a "patriotic singer", has also performed well.

Chen Lang will no longer renew his contract with Huaxing, so Leslie Cheung, a potential newcomer singer, has naturally become the object of Huaxing's support, and Chen Lang's songwriting talent has passed the test of four records and has been recognized by everyone, so Fang Yihua will ask Chen Lang to write songs for Leslie Cheung.

To be honest, although Chen Lang founded his own record company and competed with other superstar singers, Chen Lang would not feel unhappy about writing songs for the big bowl superstars in his previous life.

After embarking on the road of a singer, Chen Lang also knew that a classic song needs a proper singer to interpret it, so that the classic will be original and long-lasting.

Being able to show the classics of his previous life in front of the world under his own control, and being able to hang the title of the best music creator in history, still makes Chen Lang very happy.

Therefore, Chen Lang will not feel unwilling to write songs for superstars, of course, if it is a singer who has never heard of it at all, then he is embarrassed and not interested.

"The Wind Continues to Blow" is Leslie Cheung's famous song, which can be said to have turned a corner in Leslie Cheung's music career and truly embarked on the road of singing, so the next song written by Chen Lang for him in the name of genius naturally cannot be worse than this song, and Leslie Cheung has a lot of famous songs, which can be regarded as returning to the original owner.

In Leslie Cheung's music career, there is another song that is very representative, and this song directly established his status as a superstar in the music industry.

This song is the title song "Monica" in Leslie Cheung's record, which has exceeded four platinum sales in Hong Kong, and the song "Monica" was selected as the 7th Top 10 Chinese Golden Songs and the 2nd Top 10 Golden Songs, and this song also established Leslie Cheung's status as a superstar in the music industry.

"Monica" is one of the representative works in the history of Hong Kong pop music in the previous life, injecting a new vitality into the Hong Kong music scene, becoming the originator of Cantonese songs, and was selected as one of the "Top Ten Golden Songs of the Century" by Hong Kong and Taiwan in 1999.

It's just that now because of Chen Lang's existence, it is obviously impossible for the originator of Cantonese songs to fall on Leslie Cheung's head, and now when everyone thinks of Jin Song and Jin Wu, Chen Lang will subconsciously appear in their minds.

Chen Lang's first record in the music industry was mainly based on strong singing and dancing, which also made Chen Lang have an unshakable dominance in the minds of young people.

This song has made Leslie Cheung famous because it is the originator of Cantonese, and it has really entered the eyes of all fans and industry insiders, and now because of Chen Lang, this song may not have such great significance, but the classic of the song "Monica" is undoubtedly of great benefit to the current Leslie Cheung.

Thinking of this, Chen Lang no longer hesitated, recalled this classic song and dance in his mind, and then wrote "Monica" on the manuscript paper.

With the memory in his mind, Chen Lang quickly wrote this song, put it in a drawer after writing it, and decided to give it to Fang Yihua after a while, so as not to make Fang Yihua feel that he was too genius and too easy to get, and he always blackmailed himself.

After writing the song for Leslie Cheung, Chen Lang began to conceive of his next record, because of the agreement with Huaxing, Chen Lang had to officially record his fifth record after the year.

But Chen Lang didn't pay attention to which songs to sing this time, after all, there are too many good songs, and after the production of four records, Chen Lang also knows that the songs in a record can't be added casually, although Chen Lang must be able to take out classics or masterpieces that are popular all over the country.

The mainstream of the Hong Kong music scene now and in the next few years is sentimental lyrical pop songs, and of course this is also the case in most countries, after all, love is a timeless and timeless theme, and pop lyrical singing is also the most common but also the most acceptable way.

Chen Lang's current four albums, which focus on strong songs and dances, inspirational songs, sad love songs and campus music, and the fifth record has to come to a different genre, thinking of this Chen Lang thought of rock music.

Rock 'n' roll, known as rock'n'roll' in English, emerged in the mid-50s of the 20th century, mainly influenced by the influence of rhythm and blues, country music and Ding Bang Alley music.

There are many branches of rock music, with complex forms, the main styles are: folk rock, art rock, psychedelic rock, country rock, heavy metal, punk, etc., and the representative figures are: Elvis Presley (Elvis), Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, etc.

Rock music in Chinese mainland emerged in the early 80s, and in 1986 Cui Jian shouted the first sound of Chinese rock with a song "Nothing", and the mid-90s was the peak of Chinese rock.

Rock 'n' roll in Hong Kong appeared in the late '70s, while rock 'n' roll in Taiwan was born in the early mid-to-early '70s.

Rock music is simple, powerful, and straightforward, especially its strong rhythm, which coincides with the energetic and active characteristics of young people, and the unrestrained performance situation of rock music is compatible with their rebellious psychology, and the theme of rock music singing is closely related to their concerns, so rock music has a unique position among young people.

When it comes to rock in Hong Kong, there are two names that must be mentioned, but one name is popular all over the country, even in 2014, when Chen Lang was reborn, and the other name seems a little obscure.

They are: beyond, Xia Shaosheng.

Xia Shaosheng released his first album "Childhood" in 1979, and has been insisting on rock and roll in his subsequent music career, releasing many masterpieces, such as "Intersection", "iremember", "Empty (Wooden Bench)", "When the Guitar Cries", "Your Beautiful Stubbornness" and so on.

This is rare in Hong Kong, where business is dominant and pop music is absolutely dominant, and he has never become popular.

However, more than 30 years of perseverance, coupled with his unique singing style, has injected new vitality into Hong Kong's pop music, and has earned him the title of "Hong Kong Rock Godfather".

As for beyond, I believe it goes without saying much, everyone must be thunderous about this name, and at the same time, they are full of emotion, this is a palace-level rock band, and it is the most successful and regrettable rock band in Asia.

In the past life, including the current Hong Kong music scene, there is a lack of creation, and most of them are covers and adaptations of Japanese, European and American works, and the band's emphasis on originality has brought a great impact to the Hong Kong music scene.

Young beyond is full of vitality, full of power, the music is very melodic, it is very easy to attract fans, and what is even more rare is that their works focus on reality, and are highly sensitive to culture, humanities, social environment and even politics, such as "Glorious Years" was written to Mandela, "Earth" and "The Great Wall" also have a strong historical accumulation, etc., which is particularly valuable in the Hong Kong music scene.

In the early 90s, at the peak of Beyond, they brought their rock to the whole of Asia, setting off a wave of rock frenzy throughout Asia, and some people even shouted the extreme statement that "there is no rock in Hong Kong, only beyond".

The significance of Beyond's success lies in the fact that they are almost the only band in Hong Kong to achieve the perfect combination of commercial and rock spirit, and because of this perfection, Beyond's status in the Hong Kong music scene and even its impact on Hong Kong culture are far beyond our imagination.
