Chapter 148: Ask Teresa Teng to be a temporary translator

In 1979, because of an accident, Teresa Teng was no longer popular with fans in Asia.

Especially when fans are usually "middle two", they like it crazy when they like a person, and they resist it when they suddenly feel cheated.

Because Teresa Teng used a fake passport in Yueben, she was exposed by the media and her reputation was discredited.

Originally, it didn't matter.

But Teresa Teng felt that the entire Asian fans were scolding her, and millions of fans of Yueben had taken extreme actions such as demonstrations and insisted on driving Teresa Teng out of the territory.

Forced by the media to hype up the fake passport incident, the media also said that "Teresa Teng is no longer welcome", and even the media in Taiwan and Southeast Asia were excited, regarding her as a dishonest female liar.

Sad.

Teresa Teng decided to leave Asia, temporarily leave the music scene, and go to the United States to continue her studies. Teresa Teng is not the first time to study in the United States. A few years ago, she studied English and art in the United States. This time, I came to the United States to study English, Chinese, biology, and mathematics in one go, and I had the idea of studying.

In addition to communicating with some people from Hong Kong and Taiwan who have come to the United States to travel and work. In addition to singing and performing in some Chinese communities, during her time in the United States, she basically devoted herself to studying, did not accept media interviews, and did not participate in various TV programs, which seemed very low-key.

Gu Long appreciated Teresa Teng more. He has an average relationship with Teresa Teng, just getting to know each other, but it does not affect Gu Long's appreciation of her. Because of Teresa Teng's relationship, Gu Long especially dislikes Jackie Chan.

When Jackie Chan first cooperated with Hollywood to shoot "Killer Trench" in the 80s, he was still a little rustic. Getting along with Teresa Teng seems inferior. However, after Jackie Chan developed, he stepped on many boats and played with countless actresses. Especially Teresa Teng later dated Jackie Chan. But at that time, Jackie Chan and Lin Fengjiao quietly married their son. After being married, Jackie Chan is still so romantic, and even conceals his marriage to continue to maintain a relationship with Teresa Teng. Teresa Teng was heartbroken when she found out, and from then on, she didn't want to have anything to do with Jackie Chan.

The media said that Jackie Chan was romantic, and Gu Long wrote an article to scold Jackie Chan, which is not romantic, but obscene!

thinks that Jackie Chan is obscene, but not only Gu Long, but the merry genius Huang Zhan has scolded Jackie Chan!

Before going to Industrial Light & Magic, Zhang Shaojie and Gu Long still made an appointment with Teresa Teng, hoping that she could act as a translator and director. saved Zhang Shaojie and Gu Long from being cheated because they were not familiar with the Americans.

Transportation in the United States is well developed, and in San Francisco, it is only a few hours to Los Angeles.

University of Southern California, Los Angeles.

Although there are a lot of Chinese in this school, Teresa Teng is quite recognizable. First, she is a beauty, and secondly, Asian classmates, especially Chinese classmates, basically know her.

When Zhang Shaojie and others found Teresa Teng, she practiced singing at home.

During Teresa Teng's study in the United States, the bad media in Hong Kong and Taiwan had fake news, saying that Teresa Teng was studying in the United States, but she was actually very diligent in making records and selling money, plus Teresa Teng's previous property of more than 10 million US dollars in Asia, she must have lived in a luxury house and drove a luxury car.

In fact, Teresa Teng lives in a very simple second-hand house with her mother and younger brother Deng Changxi who studied abroad in the United States. There is no luxury life at all, she usually cooks and does laundry, and it is Teresa Teng's mother who takes care of her life.

After the two came to Teresa Teng's house, Deng's mother opened the door for them, because Gu Long is a well-known figure in Taiwan, and his fame even exceeds Teresa Teng in this era.

"Mr. Gu Long, is that you?" Mother Deng was a little surprised, "How did you come to the United States to visit Lijun?" ”

Gu Long smiled: "I came to the United States mainly to discuss cooperation with Industrial Light and Magic, the most famous special effects studio in Hollywood. However, we are not very familiar with the United States, and we hope that Lijun will help for a few days."

"What do you want Lijun to do? She can only sing," said Deng's mother.

"It doesn't need to be too professional, it's just to be a translator for us. I don't need a translator, but Gu Long needs an English translator! Zhang Shaojie said.

Teresa Teng also noticed the young people around Gu Long at this time.

"By the way, Lijun, this person next to me is my partner of Baolong Film Company, and a wealthy advocate Shaojie! He is now in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places, but he is red and purple! The cost of writing books is the first, writing movie scripts is the first at the box office, writing songs, shooting commercials, and popular artists are all excellent! Gu Long said with a smile.

Teresa Teng has not been very active in Asia since 79, and only occasionally invited to return to Taiwan, Hong Kong and other places to participate in some private banquet performances.

When Zhang Shaojie became popular, Teresa Teng was basically in the United States, far away from Hong Kong and Taiwan, so naturally she would not know this first talent among the young generation in Hong Kong!

However, Zhang Shaojie's name, she also heard some friends from Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places who came to visit her talk about it.

"Oh? You are the 17-year-old genius Zhang Shaojie? Looks so small! Teresa Teng couldn't help but feel that Zhang Shaojie's appearance was too young.

Zhang Shaojie was embarrassed and said, "Sister Lijun, don't joke with me." He thought for a while and suddenly said, "By the way, Sister Lijun, I recently wrote a few Chinese songs, and I couldn't find a suitable person to sing them in Hong Kong." Take it out and send it to you today, if you think you can, you can release a record, and I'll give it to you for free! ”

Teresa Teng was stunned.

Zhang Shaojie suddenly picked up a guitar and plucked it twice, although he was not familiar with the technique, he could also pluck the strings. The guitar is one of the easiest instruments to get started with, and with the advent of modern music such as folk and rock, it has been popular among young people since the 60s.

Zhang Shaojie didn't know it before, but he won because he had a strong learning ability. used to write the song "Demon Girl", but he couldn't compose the music, he could only hum it, which inevitably made Zhang Shaojie ashamed.

So, not long ago, I learned the guitar and music knowledge.

The clear, clear singing voice vibrates in the room with the sound of the piano:

"On that day, I turned all the prayer cylinders, not for excess, not for the next life, only for your warmth, that life, I turned the mountains and rivers, only to meet you on the way, to meet you on the way, to turn the mountains and rivers, to turn the pagoda, just to meet you on the way, the cranes in the sky borrowed me a pair of white wings, I will not go far, fly high and fly to Litang, I will return to the top of the mountain, the bright moon will rise, your face will float in my heart, your beautiful face will quietly float in my heart, your beautiful face will quietly float on my heart."

Zhang Shaojie first sang it in Tibetan, and then sang this "Cangyang Gyatso Love Song" in Chinese.

This is a traditional Tibetan song, although the lyrics have been slightly changed. However, it is still a cover of classical songs. Later, Zhang Shaojie felt that the most touching version of this song was Wu Hongfei's version.

Wu Hongfei's feeling of being moist in the south and clear children's voices, never embellishing shortcomings, has a very personal style of singing. Zhang Shaojie felt that the impact of music was very different from the unique taste of those mass-produced pop music, which made people feel very touched after listening to it.

Of course, Wu Hongfei's song, Zhang Shaojie thinks it's good. But Wu Hongfei's status as a reporter for the Southern Newspaper and the rumor-mongering and female hooliganism that often occur in her work disgusted him. Therefore, Zhang Shaojie can only look at the problem in two, appreciate Wu Hongfei's songs, but hate her as a person.

Zhang Shaojie thinks that Wu Hongfei's revised and covered version can be more successful for Teresa Teng to cover it. And greatly enhance the influence of Chinese style music in the world.

Zhang Shaojie's self-playing and self-singing is very similar to the habit of a rock singer, and Zhang Shaojie deliberately imitates Wu Hongfei's childlike singing style in this song, which is extremely infectious. At once, people feel that it is a fresh style that is completely different from the world's mainstream music scene at this time.

Teresa Teng and Gu Long were a little inexplicable when they listened to Zhang Shaojie singing in Tibetan. But when he sang it again in Chinese, the charm was completely displayed.

After Zhang Shaojie finished singing, he put down the guitar.

Gu Long immediately beat him and said, "How can you sing so well, when I was in Hong Kong before, why didn't I know?" ”

Teresa Teng also said strangely: "I can also release a record!" ”

"Hehe, I'm sorry, it's not that I sing it well, but the traditional songs of Tibetan Province that have a history of hundreds of years have been modified and sung with a certain degree of modernization!" Zhang Shaojie shook his head and said, "I don't think I can fully show the charm of this song." Only Chinese music masters like Teresa Teng can sing well! By the way, this song is best sung in Teresa Teng's original style, with clear children's voices, is the effect I want to hear. And I can't sing that effect! ”

Zhang Shaojie showed his musical ability, which made him quickly have a common language with Teresa Teng. He wrote the lyrics and music of "Cangyang Gyatso Love Song", and suggested Teresa Teng to find a Tibetan version of the record and imitate it more. If this song is sung in Tibetan first, then in Chinese, two languages, it can better express the taste of classical Tibetan romantic love songs!

Gu Long shook his head, Shaojie is really invincible, when he interacts with girls, he can talk and smile at the first time, and he has a common language with him. What am I doing on the side? Make a light bulb? Hey, it's old. Or the younger generation is stronger than the next.

After Zhang Shaojie finished writing the lyrics and songs, Gu Long solemnly said again that he would ask Teresa Teng to be the translator and participate in the cooperation negotiations between the two and Industrial Light & Magic in the United States.

"Yes, yes! But I'll be free until October at most. After October, there will be a large number of invitations to tour concerts, and at that time, I may go to New York, Hong Kong and other places," Teresa Teng said.

In fact, Teresa Teng performed at Lincoln Center in New York in October, as the first Chinese singer to sing at Lincoln Center, and the sound shocked Europe and the United States. Soon after, the authorities also began to lift the ban on Teresa Teng's entry ban. The entire Asian media is beginning to move from the smear of the past to praise it.

It can be said that the New York concert was an important turning point for Teresa Teng to reverse the low ebb of her singer's career.

"That's fine. There was not much disagreement between us and ILM either. It is estimated that it will only take a few days, the price will be negotiated, and the contract will be completed! Zhang Shaojie said.

Teresa Teng smiled sweetly: "Okay! I will be working as a translator and guide for both of you at the end of August and even September. ”
