Chapter 281: The Glory of Supergirl, the Sorrow of the Rookie Singing Contest
After the end of Asia TV's "Super Girl". Only many unambitious contestants signed up for TVB's "Rookie Singing Contest".
In front of the "Super Girl", the "Rookie Singing Contest" is destined to become a tragedy!
The star-making ability of "Super Girl" is too strong, and at the peak of the ratings, 3 million viewers in Hong Kong were watching "Super Girl" at the same time.
Especially young audiences, they are very enthusiastic about this show.
In the competition, the players who performed better have become household names.
Thanks to several winners of "Super Girl", in the competition, tens of thousands of fan groups have already been drawn. All kinds of fan groups under the banner of Anita Mui, Chen Huixian, and Lin Yilian have sprung up.
Especially on campus, the songs sung by Anita Mui, Chen Huixian, and Lin Yilian in the competition have become the latest pop songs imitated and sung by many girls and boys.
After the end of "Super Girl", Zhou Liang Shuyi was ambitious and said: "Strike while the iron is hot, with Anita Mui, Chen Huixian, Lin Yilian and others as the core - release records and create superstars under Li Music!" ”
Zhang Shaojie said affirmatively: "The company will support you!" ”
"Boss, you are a famous talent in Hong Kong, and Anita Mui is your girlfriend. Why not write some more songs yourself and create a platinum record? Zhou Liang Shuyi asked.
Zhang Shaojie said: "Didn't you already write two-handed songs - "The Demon Girl" and "It Seems to Be an Old Man"? ”
"This is not enough, I hope a small disc of 6 songs, the first one is a classic" Zhou Liang Shuyi seemed very insistent, "TVB and Huaxing Records, and Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui are now in a strategic partnership. Thoroughly, in the singing industry, to win an absolute advantage, we must continue to have classic and good songs! ”
Seeing this, Zhang Shaojie smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back and brew it!" ”
Historically, the people who wrote the lyrics and composed the music for Anita Mui were all first-class lyricists and composers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
For example, Huang Zhan, Gu Jiahui, Lin Xi, Luo Dayou, Zheng Guojiang, etc., almost all the first-class composers and lyricists in Hong Kong and Taiwan have written and composed lyrics for Anita Mui.
It is precisely because of the support of so many big-name lyricists and composers that Anita Mui has been able to sing many classics in history.
If Zhang Shaojie is allowed to be original and scripted, maybe he still has a bit of writing and bridges, and he can maintain a certain degree of originality.
But for lyrics and composition, I can only be sorry for Huang Zhan, Gu Jiahui, Lin Xi, Luo Dayou and others. The first classic can only copy the real classics of the future.
Anita Mui is the core fist superstar of Li Music at this time.
And second only to Anita Mui are Chen Huixian and Lin Yilian.
Chen Huixian has a very awesome composer Angus as her agent, so naturally she is not worried about not having excellent songs. Angus submitted a detailed music plan, Zhang Shaojie took a look at it and smiled: "The "Girl Magazine" group, interesting, this Angus plans to use Chen Huixian as the main force of the group, and is looking for some singers with slightly inferior strength to partner with Chen Huixian? There are some music groups of male singers in Hong Kong, but the music groups of singers with female surnames are very rare. I think there's a lot to be done."
Zhou Liang Shuyi frowned slightly and said: "Chen Huixian has already made a name for herself in 'Super Girl', and it is easy to get support for releasing records in her name." However, is it really necessary to find a few more singers as an add-on and get a "Girl Magazine" combination? ”
"Of course it is necessary! The singer himself will get old, and his state will have ups and downs. However, a band group is relatively stable. If the band runs well, it will be 'an iron barracks, a soldier of flowing water', and it will always be able to maintain its popularity like an evergreen! Zhang Shaojie said with a smile.
Zhou Liang Shuyi was reluctantly persuaded by Zhang Shaojie, but the last Lin Yilian was because there was no powerful composer to customize the song for her, and the release of the record could only be postponed.
According to the plan, Anita Mui was the first to release a record.
Chen Huixian is the second "Girl Magazine" with the core.
In the end, it was Lin Yilian's turn.
This is also the lack of strength of Longteng and Li Music, and there are not enough composers and lyricists under it. Otherwise, you can create classic songs at any time and praise powerful singers under the red flag.
—————————— after the end of the Asian TV Super Girl.
Although TVB's "Rookie Singing Contest" is far inferior to "Super Girl", it has also publicly advertised that the top three rookies in the singing contest will be disced.
Therefore, it has also attracted a large number of young men and women with star dreams to sign up.
Among them, there are Wei Yishan and Huang Ruling among the female singers, these two people were suppressed by Anita Mui in history. He only won the silver and bronze awards in the first rookie singing contest.
And now, Anita Mui is no longer participating in the "Rookie Singing Contest", and these two singers have naturally begun to stand out.
Some other potential contestants include Hu Weikang, Lin Li, Wen Zhaolun and others. These people, although they are not the most popular stars in Hong Kong, are not ordinary people.
In short, with TVB's influence in Hong Kong, the "Rookie Singing Contest", after the end of "Super Girl", has gradually become the second largest singing talent competition that Hong Kong people pay attention to.
"TV terminal data monitoring shows that during the rookie singing contest, the ratings reached 13% at low tides, 39% at peak times, and the average ratings reached 26%! In addition to watching English channels, news, and sports programs, the number of viewers of the Rookie Singing Contest is in the first place! Fang Yihua said happily.
Run Run Shaw squinted his eyes and looked at the period when the "Rookie Singing Contest" was held, TVB's ratings moved back to the disadvantage again, and won the leading position, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I was not bold enough at that time, if I had been in front of Asia Television and launched the Rookie Singing Contest, then both the quality of the contestants and the influence in society would be several times stronger now!" ”
"I said earlier that the rookie singing contest will be held in advance! However, you don't have to wait until after the curtain is over on Super Girl. In vain, Asia Television has an advantage for a month! Fang Yihua gave him a blank look.
Run Run Shaw closed his eyes and said, "Doing business is important to be steady!" You need to know that we are always making money, so, every time we go by, we get stronger and stronger. And ATV is still losing money and needs constant blood transfusions. If a real estate tycoon like Li Ka-shing were a shareholder of ATV, I would still regard him as a big enemy. But Zhang Shaojie, maybe that day he felt that the business of losing money was not fun, so he gave up ATV! ”
"Oh, look, this is the list of potential singers found by Huaxing Records in the 'Rookie Singing Contest'" Fang Yihua handed the document to Run Run Shaw.
Run Run Shaw held his glasses, looked at them a few times, and said, "Okay, let me look at the current Cantonese record industry in Hong Kong, in fact, it has only been rising for many years. In the early 70s, Hui Guanjie was the happy originator of Cantopop records, and he opened up the way of Cantonese records and sold Cantonese records to many countries in Asia. You see, it's only been more than ten years old, and the industry is not very mature. Polygram and EMI Records have monopolized Cantonese records for a long time. However, after all, these foreign companies do not really understand the true tastes of Hong Kong citizens. Even if there is one more beautiful music, Huaxing Records has a lot to offer! ”
TVB has wanted to enter the record industry for a long time. If he didn't want to enter the record production and distribution industry, he would not have established a subsidiary, Huaxing Records, in the 70s.
Initially, Huaxing Records' business was mainly an agent for the distribution of some TV music programs of TVB, as well as the holding of some concerts. But he did not directly sign a singer to produce original music.
It wasn't until the beginning of 1982 that Huaxing Records began to poach a singer Chen Meiling, and it was the beginning of the original music that began to enter.
In fact, Chen Meiling was mainly like Teresa Teng in the early days, and went to the record industry to develop, and it was not until 79 that a Cantonese record "Carnation in the Rain" was released, which also achieved great success in Hong Kong. In Huaxing Records, Chen Meiling produced "Lijiang Song", which also achieved good results.
After that, Huaxing Records recruited a more popular singer - Leslie Cheung. As a result, Huaxing Records really went out of shit luck, and history proves that Zhang Rongguo was a big mess in the next 20 years.
Because Huaxing Records can't dig up the first-line big singers, it will decide to launch the "Rookie Singing Contest" to audition potential superstars.
Historically, the "Rookie Singing Contest" is a machine that continuously discovers superstars in the music world, and at least one-third of Hong Kong's first-line singers are discovered by fans and record companies after debuting from the Rookie Singing Contest.
Now, due to the first screening of Asia TV's "Super Girl", Anita Mui, Chen Huixian, Lin Yilian and others have signed with Li Music.
In fact, in the entertainment and literary industries, many people emphasize hard work and perseverance, which will inevitably pay off. In fact, a premise is ignored - people with talent can only be rewarded for their hard work and perseverance.
Not every writer who writes has the talent of a best-selling author. Not every actor has the potential to be an actor or actress, and not every singer can become a singer.
Many people see others become famous overnight and think that they can do it too. However, one premise is overlooked, talent!
There will be no more than 200 singers in the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles who can have commercial potential in the next few decades, and there will be no more than 30 active first-line singers.
Now, in the first "Super Girl", Liyue Music has signed three potential superstars, which is almost equivalent to opening a cheat, ensuring the development of "Liyue Music" in the future.
