Chapter 450: Fog Love (Happy Dragon Boat Festival)
Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung were pleasantly surprised to take over the songs they wrote for themselves from Chen Lang.
"That's pretty much it." Anita Mui wiped the corners of her moist eyes and said.
Leslie Cheung watched the song seriously after getting it, not because he was not worried about the quality of the songs created by Chen Lang, but because he hoped to see the classics that Chen Lang wrote for himself for the first time.
After watching this song "Monica", Leslie Cheung showed a charming smile, produced by Lang Lang, and it was really good.
"Although I have left Huaxing, this will not affect our personal relationship, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will still write songs for you." Chen Lang patted Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung's shoulders and smiled.
"Thank you, Lang Lang." Although he knew that this thank you was not enough to express his gratitude, Leslie Cheung really didn't know what else he could do for Chen Lang, and he only wanted to have the opportunity to repay Chen Lang for his support in the future.
As for Anita Mui, after getting acquainted with Chen Lang, she just pursed her lips with a big grin, and Chen Lang shook his head with a smile.
"Rong Zai, if you want to leave Huaxing in the future, you might as well consider my company." Chen Lang said to Leslie Cheung with a smile.
Chen Lang knew that Leslie Cheung left Huaxing for various reasons, and Chen Lang naturally didn't want to miss this emperor superstar who left an indelible mark on both the music and film worlds.
As for Anita Mui, Chen Lang has no idea of soliciting now, because in her previous life, in the face of the sky-high invitations of countless giant companies, Anita Mui did not leave, no matter whether Huaxing stood at the peak of the industry or fell into a trough, Anita Mui stuck to Huaxing and became the mainstay of Huaxing until she completely bid farewell to the music world.
After saying this, Chen Lang left Huaxing Records regardless of Leslie Cheung's consternation and rushed to the filming site of "The Frog Prince".
LL Films' second work "The Frog Prince" perfected the script as early as a year ago, invited good actors, and officially started filming on the 10th day of the Lunar New Year, and has been filming for more than two weeks now.
The dead fat man Wang Jing is also worthy of his reputation as a fast gunner, and it only took two weeks to shoot 80% of the entire film, which is still under the condition that Chen Lang has repeatedly emphasized lean and save essence, otherwise "The Frog Prince" may have finished filming and entered post-production.
Chen Lang had to sigh, this speed is really fast, and this is the characteristic of Hong Kong films that are gradually entering the golden age at this stage, and now countless people who invest in movies are just to catch up with this good period, make a fortune, and make quick money, no matter what the quality of the movie is.
This has gradually increased the annual production of Hong Kong films, which has indirectly promoted Hong Kong films to enter a golden age, but such a blind pursuit of making quick money has led to shoddy films and laid the root cause for the future decline of Hong Kong films.
Although Chen Lang intends to change this situation, in the film industry, Chen Lang is still just a person who has no right to speak, and the only thing he can do now is to make his own movies while gradually developing and strengthening his own strength, and then he is qualified to talk about the future of Hong Kong films.
Chen Lang bought a lot of Zhong Chuhong's favorite things to visit the class, and after seeing Chen Lang carrying a large bag of things, Wang Jing also paused the filming with interest and walked over with several leading actors.
"Lang Lang, I'm visiting the class again, why did you buy so many things for me, I'll be embarrassed." Wang Jing squeezed her small eyes and said with a smile.
"Did people Lang Lang buy it for you, it's sentimental, it's obviously someone else." The "enamel doll" who came over on the side coaxed.
Zhong Chuhong was a little shy when she heard this, and pushed the "enamel doll" to hide the shyness and sweetness in her heart.
Chen Lang could only shake his head and smile bitterly at the ridicule of this famous beauty Guan Zhilin, or Maggie Cheung, who had just debuted, was easier to deal with, with a green face, and only knew to cover his mouth and smirk.
"Brother Tao, Brother Ka, it's hard work." Chen Lang gave the food he bought to Zhong Zhentao and Chen Baixiang.
"Thank you, Lang Lang." Zhong Zhentao said politely, the two are not very familiar with each other because they have just known each other for this movie, and now the relationship between the two is an investor and an actor, so Zhong Zhentao is more polite.
After Chen Baixiang took the thing, he squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Then I will touch the light of Honggu." ”
Chen Baixiang is a love-hate but self-familiar character, it was also because Chen Langto Alan Tam invited him to play the happy ghost, the two met, and later Chen Baixiang became popular all over the Xiangjiang because of the role of the happy ghost, and people everywhere called him "Zhu Xiucai" and "happy ghost", which made his career climb to a peak, and he also received a big red envelope from Chen Lang, which made Chen Baixiang excited.
Now the second film of ll film company is looking for Chen Baixiang to star, although he is no longer the protagonist, but Chen Baixiang also knows that with his appearance and consistent image in everyone's hearts, it is difficult to be the protagonist unless he meets a specific role, so he happily accepted the invitation.
As for Chen Lang's talented, wealthy, humorous but approachable personality, which is very much in line with his appetite, and at the same time Alan Tam's good friend, Chen Baixiang quickly became familiar with Chen Lang, and now the two often joke with each other, and they can be regarded as good friends.
Chen Lang joked with everyone for a few words, and then stayed away from the crew with Zhong Chuhong. "Are you tired of filming?" The two arrived at a hidden place, and after a hot kiss, Chen Lang stroked Zhong Chuhong's hair and asked.
"No, now it's much easier to only make one movie." Zhong Chuhong put Lian Lian on Chen Lang's heart, listening to the powerful heartbeat, it felt very sweet.
"I'm going to be busy recording my latest record soon, and I probably don't have much time to spend with you, so you have to take care of yourself." Chen Lang kissed Honggu's forehead and said warmly.
"Hmm." Zhong Chuhong's smile was full of sweetness, speaking of which, Zhong Chuhong was six years older than Chen Lang, but she enjoyed the feeling of being taken care of by her little boyfriend.
The two of them got tired of being crooked for another half an hour before coming back, and Chen Lang walked towards Guan Zhilin before leaving, "Big beauty, do you want it?" Do you want to sign up for my studio? ”
Guan Zhilin was introduced to the crew of "The Frog Prince" through his father Guan Shan, one of the most popular Chinese film actors in the sixties, and he is highly qualified and well-connected in the film industry.
Facing his daughter who wants to enter the film and television industry, Guan Shan has let Guan Zhilin participate in a lot of TV episodes and movies with his relationship, but none of them are important roles, Guan Zhilin can only be regarded as a third-rate actor now, but she has a particularly outstanding beauty.
Because of Guan Zhilin's beauty, Guan Shan's understanding of this industry, and Guan Shan's love for his daughter, now Guan Zhilin is responsible for all film and television contracts, and there are no serious agents and brokerage companies until now, so Chen Lang sent an invitation to Guan Zhilin.
Guan Zhilin blinked her big eyes and hesitated, "I still have to go back and ask my father." ”
"Well, keep me informed when there's news." Chen Lang is not disappointed by this, Guan Zhilin's all impressions seem to have only one "thirteenth aunt", so in Chen Lang's heart, she is a beautiful vase, the best can be signed, and it is not too much loss if she can't sign the contract.
Chen Lang has been adjusting his state for the next few days to prepare for the recording of his latest record, and this time it seems that because the songs are all rock, Gu Jiahui did not complete all the soundtracks in a week, and it was not until three weeks later that Chen Lang was notified to start recording this "Lang Smoke".
During this period, Alan Tam's seventh solo Cantonese album "Foggy Love" swept the entire Hong Kong.
Alan Tam's last record "Late Spring" made him attract much attention, this record won the three major music awards of commercial radio ring golden songs, top ten Chinese golden songs and top ten golden songs, and this record also sold the highest five platinum sales so far after Alan Tam flew solo, allowing Alan Tam to attract more attention in the music world and gain more fans.
After the huge success of the last album "Late Spring", Alan Tam released the latest record "Foggy Love" after the year, so it was also expected by fans and many musicians.
On March 15th, "Fog Love" was officially released, and many of them lined up in front of the Lexing Gate, which could not be compared with Chen Lang's fans who were able to crowd the two streets, but the phenomenon of queuing at the entrance of Lexing could still show that Alan Tam's number of fans had increased a lot.
Seven days later, the first-week sales of "Fog Love" were officially announced, and many people were stunned and 136542 sheets.
This first-week sales result ranked fourth in the first-week sales list of Hong Kong records, the first two were 170,000 copies sold by Chen Lang, the third was 150,000 copies sold by Chen Baiqiang, and then 130,000 copies of "Foggy Love".
After this result came out, Alan Tam and Polygram were naturally overjoyed, and at the same time, many record companies and musicians who had not really paid attention to Alan Tam woke up instantly, including Chen Shufen.
The sales of 130,000 copies also made "Fog Love" successfully airborne the top of the Hong Kong album chart that week, and the two songs "Fog Love" and "Phantom" in the record successfully entered the top ten of the Chinese song dragon and tiger list, ranking fifth and eighth respectively.
In addition, "Love's Stand-in" and "Proud Bone" together with the above two songs landed in the TOP10 of the commercial station song ring at the same time, covering the third, fifth, sixth and ninth places, and a newly released record has four songs on the list at the same time, which shows how popular this record is.
While both record sales and radio on-demand have achieved phenomenal results, the quality and word-of-mouth of this record are equally amazing.
"The songs in 'Love in the Mist' are popular and pleasant, and the style is fresh and local. The lyrics are excellent, including the sad and frustrated "Love Stand-in", the breakup on the verge of "Red Light", and the sweet and warm "Love is So Sweet".
"Fog Love" was created by Lin Mincong, which skillfully combines the beauty of love with the situation of being trapped in fog, rain and wind.
"Phantom" is the theme song of the movie "Yin and Yang Wrong", a sound of wind and sand swept over the ears, and then Alan Tam's singing voice sounded in the silence: "How to start explaining this love ......", the piano sound gradually rose, in the staggered ups and downs, the song naturally transitioned to **: "Illusory love, buried in the depths of my heart", and finally ended in repeated chanting, the whole song was completed in one go, affectionate but gave people a feeling of reverberation.
"Proud Bone" is also quite ingenious, first a heavy drum beating, then into a slow but powerful melody, and then through the transition of key wind and drum music into the ** rock section, the same melody is given a different artistic conception. ”
