Chapter 247: Vocal Training

Back home.

Zhang Shaojie took out the key and was about to open the door, but Teresa Teng and Anita Mui's two distinctive singing voices attracted him.

Stay outside the door.

I listened to it for a long time.

One moment it was "Birds in the Trees in Pairs", and after a while, it was "The Moon Represents My Heart".

Zhang Shaojie wondered, couldn't do the concert at home?

However, why don't you sing all the songs and change them?

Soon heard inside the house, Teresa Teng said: "Stop!" Let me give you an analysis! Sister Yanfang, your shortcomings are the same as I used to be, you work very hard, and you have practiced singing for a long time, but because you have not undergone formal vocal training, your vocal range is relatively narrow, and you can only show a small part of your voice talent. There are even many places where the wrong technique is used at all, which seems very funny! ”

"However, I feel like I've done my best, and I don't feel like I'm out of tune," Anita Mui couldn't help but puff up a little.

Teresa Teng looked like a grandmaster and analyzed: "Don't be unconvinced, although you have a strong ability to play on the stage and have a unique voice." However, if you don't sing authentically, it's not authentic, you listen to me sing it again - the birds in the trees are in pairs, and the green waters and green mountains are smiling. Pick a flower casually, I and the lady with the hair you see, this is the time when the vocal range is relatively wide, full of skill singing, can really play every detail very well! ”

"The quality of the voice and the width of the vocal range are the key to whether you can sing every song professionally! The voice is a talent and cannot be forced. The width of the vocal range can be improved through professional practice! Okay, now let's continue to practice our voices, from 1234567, 7654321, from bass to treble, all the way to the high notes you can't sing. After that, we go from high to low and go lower until you can't sing low. Persisting every day, and repeating training like this for many years, you can sing higher and higher high, and lower and lower bass. The whole vocal range, constantly widening, will give you a more solid vocal foundation."

After Teresa Teng explained, she began to demonstrate the treble and bass to Anita Mui.

Vocal practice is actually very boring.

In particular, I kept repeating the tune of "1234567 and 7654321", and practiced the high and low notes. However, such boring and boring training is the real orthodox vocal training, and it is a threshold that can allow a pop singer to march to the level of a singer.

Teresa Teng is indeed a famous teacher who has received orthodox music education.

With Teresa Teng's patience little by little, she accompanied Anita Mui to practice her voice, and constantly corrected Anita Mui's mistakes. made Anita Mui really start formal vocal training

Zhang Shaojie listened outside the door for more than half an hour before opening the door with a smile and saying with a smile: "Lijun is accepting apprentices?" I'm at the door, and I've been listening to you 1234567 for a long time."

Anita Mui's face flushed and said, "You are a bad thing, are you happy to hear me look foreign?" ”

"No, no, no, I'm listening to your humble and studious learning process! With Teresa Teng's guidance, such an opportunity is very rare and needs to be cherished! Zhang Shaojie put down the suitcase, took off his coat, and said, "Is there hot water, I haven't taken a bath for three days, I'm sweaty, it's very uncomfortable!" ”

"The water was cut off yesterday, and now there is only 3 hours of water supply every day, so you can choose to bathe with water, or save it for drinking!" Anita Mui looked very depressed.

"Water stops again?" Zhang Shaojie couldn't help frowning.

In fact, Hong Kong's water supply is inadequate, which is a historical problem.

Hong Kong itself does not have enough fresh water resources, and if it only supplies a few hundred thousand people, it will not be scarce. But after the war, Hong Kong's population exploded to millions and industrial manufacturing rose, and water became scarce. In the post-war 50s, after Hong Kong's economic rise, water outages became the norm.

After the 60s, Guangdong began to build reservoirs, supplying more than 100 million cubic meters of water to Hong Kong every year.

By the end of the 80s, China's central government had spent more than 5 billion yuan to expand the reservoir, so that the annual water supply could increase to more than 1 billion cubic meters.

At that time, the water shortage in Hong Kong came to an end in a real sense.

Zhang Shaojie thought to himself that to solve the problem of water shortage in Hong Kong, we must first solve the financial problem of the central government. Only when the central government has sufficient finances can it be extravagant enough to use billions of capital to expand the Dongjiang water supply project.

If, Xiaobawang company, create huge economic benefits. Perhaps, Zhang Shaojie could consider investing in a water supply project of great historical and political significance.

The economic benefits of water supply projects are not very amazing, but the political significance is very important!

Hong Kong is a water-scarce city, and water resources are the foundation of economic prosperity and people's livelihood.

Imagine having a stake and influence in this water supply project that supplies water to millions of people in Hong Kong. So, how amazing will Zhang Shaojie's influence on Hong Kong's politics and even all walks of life be?

This divergent thinking made Zhang Shaojie laugh dumbly.

Why do you want to go so far, and let alone the Dongjiang water supply project, this is completely a project with political interests greater than economic interests. The political influence gained by participating in it will be amazing.

It's not like anyone with the money can get involved!

Due to the lack of water, Zhang Shaojie dispelled the idea of taking a bath.

Of course, Zhang Shaojie thought for the first time to build a villa mansion in some places in Hong Kong where there are mountains and rivers.

In the coming period, due to the impact of uncertain political factors in the Sino-British negotiations, the stock market and property market will encounter a long-term cold snap. Most of the real estate prices in Hong Kong have fallen by 40%~60%, and some real estate even plummeted by 90% in a few months.

In particular, taking advantage of the unprecedented collapse in real estate values in the next few months, buying a piece of land, building a luxury house, and buying a set of water filtration equipment in a place near the water will not be bothered by water shortages at least in the future

I was so sleepy that I didn't even bother to eat lunch.

When Zhang Shaojie was practicing singing with Anita Mui and Teresa Teng, he had already taken off his clothes and fell asleep in the bedroom.

—————————— June 15, 1981.

The Hong Kong film industry seems to be a little snubbed. Because, the impact of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is too huge.

The HK$43 million production is undoubtedly a big gamble in the Asian film industry. However, Zhang Shaojie won the bet completely.

In Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore, the total box office of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" has reached a terrifying height of HK$180 million. As a result, "Datang" has unconsciously become a super cultural brand with huge influence on the culture of the three places.

According to the predictions of professionals in Songzhu Cinema, the total box office of "The Legend of Double Dragons of Datang" in Yueben may exceed 5 billion yuan - equivalent to HK$250 million!

This is a demonic blockbuster that has never appeared in the Hong Kong film industry since the beginning of the world!

According to the box office statistics of the Hong Kong film industry, the total box office data of Hong Kong in the whole year of 1980 was only 230 million Hong Kong dollars, and the overseas box office data of Hong Kong films in 1980 was only 750 million Hong Kong dollars.

The box office benefits generated by just one "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" are equivalent to the economic benefits that can be achieved by two or three hundred Hong Kong films.

This kind of blockbuster that swept the world couldn't help but make all Hong Kong filmmakers feel stunned, so much so that they lost the mood to comment on this movie.

Soon after the return of Baolong Film Company to Hong Kong, the entire Hong Kong film industry seemed to wake up and began to be keen on investing in blockbusters.

According to the news, Xinyicheng Film Company invested 13 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot "Best Partner" with Xu Guanjie as the main player. At the same time, Golden Harvest Film Company also announced plans to spend 17 million Hong Kong dollars on the blockbuster "Five Lucky Stars" directed and starred by Sammo Hung written by Zhang Shaojie

It's a pity that these two films, although they belong to the Hong Kong film industry in recent years, are second only to the blockbusters with the investment scale of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".

However, they are all blockbusters that win with a star cast, rather than spending money on technical fields such as computer CG special effects.

Hong Kong's Powerlong Film Company's film special effects studio fell into a similar predicament to Industrial Light & Magic shortly after its establishment - although "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" shocked the film industry with its use of computer CG special effects technology and achieved an astonishing box office.

However, "Datang" only has more than 20 special effects shots, which cost 36 million Hong Kong dollars, which makes the entire Hong Kong film industry daunting, and no special effects lens order was placed with Baolong Film Company.

Even Baolong Film Company itself invested in the next movie "Six Finger Piano Demon" did not use computer CG special effects.

Richard. Taylor complained to Zhang Shaojie: "Order, boss. Special effects studios, if they want to enter the cycle of good surnames and self-hematopoiesis, they first need to have sufficient orders. Use the customer's money to carry out technical research, which is the fastest way to progress! If we can take an order of 10 million US dollars, then we can afford to buy a large server, in the field of special effects, and if we want to improve the visual effects by a star and a half, we will have to keep burning money and updating equipment! Now it's half-dead, for a few months, the equipment has not been updated, what can you do to compete with industrial light and magic? ”

Richard. After Taylor and others jumped to Baolong Film Company, they were told to Lucas by the employees of Industrial Light & Magic. Lucas was furious, and declared in the company that Richard and others were traitors to ILM, and that they would be killed in the industry.

When Richard and the others learned about it, they naturally felt very uneasy, so they couldn't help but start working hard to prove their worth. Only the achievements of Baolong Film Company surpass that of Industrial Light & Magic can make Richard feel safe.
