Chapter 175: Remind Alan Tam
The day after returning from Teresa Teng's concert, Chen Lang devoted himself to an intense review.
Although Chen Lang has a deep memory of many classic film and television dramas and musical novels in his previous life, his memory in the present life is not beyond ordinary people, so Chen Lang still has to constantly memorize texts to cope with the upcoming final exam.
In the evening, Chen Lang received a call from Teresa Teng when he returned home from school, "Lang Lang, have you been reviewing your homework recently, will it affect your review if you want to be a special guest for me?" ”
"No, I usually learn about the same, but now it's a review, and it's not good to study all the time, so you still have to combine work and rest to get good grades." Chen Lang replied with a smile.
"You kid have a lot of reasons, by the way, I'm going to tell you something, I've changed my agent, and you're going to be my guest performer again when the 11th is confirmed." Teresa Teng said lightly.
"Okay, I got it." Chen Lang replied softly, I didn't expect Teresa Teng to change her agent, it seems that although Teresa Teng, the diva, is approachable, she is not without temper.
At the same time, Chen Lang was a little moved by Teresa Teng's insistence on being a guest performer, because Teresa Teng and Polygram must have been unhappy with this matter.
Although I don't know what the specific inside story is, I was able to participate in the concert performance in the end, which shows Teresa Teng's love for herself.
"By the way, I noticed you and Aaron chatting last night, he is my good friend and a very talented singer, he will definitely be popular again in the future, you are all in the same company now, there are many opportunities to contact, it would be great if you could become friends." Teresa Teng said.
"I also love his songs and hope to be good friends with him." Chen Lang said with some complexity, the two of them can naturally become good friends without much competition now, but it is difficult to say in the future.
"Anyway, you are all singers, and you are all so talented, you will become good friends if you contact more, okay, tonight's concert is about to start, I'll go and prepare first, see you on the 11th." Teresa Teng hung up the phone after speaking.
Soon after two days of school review, it was the night of the 11th, at this time Chen Lang was already sitting in the lounge of the concert, watching the staff eager to busy, just thinking about it, he felt that his shoulder was bumped, and it turned out that Alan Tam was sitting next to him.
"Are you a guest performer tonight?" Chen Lang looked at Alan Tam and asked curiously.
"Yes, I was arranged by the company to be a guest performer on the 8th and 11th." Alan Tam said with a smile, "But I didn't expect you to be too, it seems that Lijun really likes you as a little brother." ”
"Sister Li does take good care of me." Chen Lang said, "But I think Sister Li arranged it this way, she hopes that we can become good friends." ”
"I also hope to be good friends with you, now who in Hong Kong doesn't know that you Lang Lang is a genius singer, and the songs he creates are all high-quality." Alan Tam said with an exaggerated smile.
"Then we'll be good friends." Chen Lang smiled and stretched out his hand, Alan Tam also stretched out his hand, the two hands clasped each other tightly, and finally the two hugged gently, looked at each other and smiled.
Then the two began to chat, the topic is more about the study of singing skills, both of them are people who want to show their strength in the music world, but now the singing skills of the two need to be further improved, the two shared their singing experience, hoping to find a way to improve in each other.
Chen Lang and Alan Tam discussed very warmly here, and Teresa Teng on the other side was also very happy in her heart, one is her good friend, the other is her favorite brother, and both of them have extraordinary talents in singing, seeing the two chatting hotly, Teresa Teng was very happy, and then went to start her concert with peace of mind.
Tonight's concert is naturally full again, the charm of Asian singers is incomparable, and now the most popular singer in Hong Kong and even Taiwan and Southeast Asia is Teresa Teng, many people are able to enter the factory with scalper tickets bought at a high price, and even some fans flew to Hong Kong from Southeast Asia just to listen to a concert of their idols.
Teresa Teng's concert did not disappoint everyone, although in terms of stage scenery and sound effects, it is not as good as the concerts Chen Lang saw in his previous life, but in the eyes of people now, it is already a top-level stage effect.
The most important thing is that the sweet and gentle singing voice of the Asian singer trumps all the packaging effect, the audience is immersed in Teresa Teng's singing and can't extricate themselves, and after the song is over, there will be warm applause, the combination of movement and stillness, which profoundly reflects the infinite charm of Teresa Teng's singing.
Teresa Teng on the stage in front is still performing, and Chen Lang and Alan Tam in the lounge in the back are still chatting hotly.
"Aaron, honestly, what exactly is the style you have positioned yourself in?" Chen Lang looked at Alan Tam and asked.
After a simple contact, Chen Lang knew that Alan Tam was also a warm and cheerful person, although the age difference between the two was 15 years, but both of them had an unusual love for music, so the conversation was very speculative.
"It's still a fast song." Alan Tam replied.
Chen Lang knows that the current Alan Tam is greatly influenced by the Wenner Band period, and has not yet found his own style, although this may make Alan Tam popular earlier, but with the short communication between the two, Chen Lang still thinks Alan Tam is very good, so he thought about it and decided to remind him.
"So far, you've released four Cantonese albums, the first "Fighting Star" is dominated by light-paced songs, the second "Love to You Crazy" continues the fast song style of the first one, the third "Can't Forget You" is both fast and slow, and the fourth "Your Gaze" is also a good song.
To be honest, I've listened to most of your songs, but personally, your fast songs don't stand out. Your singing is not mature, and you often give people a feeling of procrastination and even "chattering", the most obvious example is the song "A Goose on the Edge of the Sky", I think this song will definitely be more perfect if it is sung by Ou Ruiqiang.
Correspondingly, a few slow songs from these four records gave me a good feeling. Although the songs in the record are still insufficient in singing, the handling of slow songs is not mature enough, such as the drag sound in "Thinking of the Future" and "Love and Love" are obviously not used well.
But on the whole, several slow songs such as "Don't Say Love is Heavy", "Acquaintance is Not Accidental", and "Life is Full of Hope" are undoubtedly more popular.
Now you are still influenced by the Wenna period, and you don't have your own clear singing style and positioning, so it is definitely difficult for you to get a better development, and I know that there must be a lot of people looking for you to act in movies now, people's energy is limited after all, and your singing level has not improved much in the past two years, if you want to further develop in music, it is better to concentrate. ”
Alan Tam was stunned after listening to Chen Lang's words, because he didn't expect Chen Lang to pay so much attention to his records, and what was even more surprising was that Chen Lang's opinions were surprisingly consistent with the conclusions recently reached by his agency.
Polygram has now discovered that Alan Tam's most popular discography is actually a few slow songs, and the fast songs that continue the style of the Wenner period are not well received by fans, so the company has been talking about Alan Tam's style line recently.
Several slow songs in "Can't Forget You" are tentative works, but they actually sold four platinum sales, and the effect is very good, so now Polygram has begun to change Alan Tam's style to slow songs, which Alan Tam's agent told him.
I didn't expect to hear Chen Lang say the same conclusion tonight, Alan Tam is really impressed by Chen Lang now, not only can he create, but also can sing, and now he is so good at analyzing the style and route of singers, this is really an unborn musical genius, and he is too keen to feel all aspects of music.
"To be honest, I doubt you've eavesdropped on PolyGram's company secrets." Alan Tam said with a smile.
"It seems that your company has also noticed this problem, so I believe they will definitely make adjustments, and I believe that you will be able to get better results when the time comes." Chen Lang smiled when he heard this.
PolyGram is a large company, with a thorough research on the music market, and a large number of professionals gathered to quickly find this shining point.
"Hey, but I've received a lot of movie announcements, and I have to be distracted to make movies, and my singing skills have really made too little progress, and it may take a while for me to really go further in the music world. After this time, I put most of my energy into music, and movies can be regarded as a support. Alan Tam also said helplessly.
After all, the company wants to make money, and he has just won Taiwan's Golden Horse Best Actor, there are too many film appointments, and now Alan Tam doesn't know that he will be able to dominate the music scene in a few years.
Now Alan Tam is still taking care of both film and music, and he is not very clear about his own development path, but now hearing the company's conclusions and arrangements, and hearing Chen Lang's words, he finally strengthened his determination to develop his music path.
Chen Lang saw Alan Tam's determination, and he didn't know what it was like, he knew that Alan Tam, who was fully committed to developing music, and the strong support of Polygram behind him, would soon be able to rise and become one of the few superstars in the 80s.
And Alan Tam is very prolific, and the quality of his works is not bad, he will not fall off the altar in just a few years, you must know that Alan Tsam's influence can be extended from the 70s to the 00s, which is very amazing.
Therefore, even if Chen Lang has countless classics as hole cards, the pressure is still not small, but it is more interesting to have strong competitors, Chen Lang looked at Alan Tam's gaze is also sharp and sharp.
