Chapter 173, The Singer's Choice (2-in-1)

Tang Zhenye wanted to use the pressure of public opinion around him to prompt Weng Meiling to choose to be with him in desperation to prove his innocence and Mo Fei's innocence.

And he can use the fact that he is with Weng Meiling to achieve some of his own goals, constantly improve his reputation through news exposure, and then maybe through the appreciation of his relationship with Weng Meiling, he will become an international star like Zhou Yanfa.

But I didn't expect such an ending, Miao Qiaowei's girlfriend and Weng Meiling worshiped sisters, and Phoenix Culture had long had the idea of entering the clothing industry, which made people worse than the sky.

Liang Chaowei and Andy Lau ran away from wireless before, but the "five tigers" in the wireless name were disbanded, but the five people can be regarded as friends, and they have not broken contact with each other.

But from this day on, the "Five Tigers" really ceased to exist, and the last bit of affection connecting the relationship between several people completely disappeared because of Tang Zhenye's shameless performance and the truth that Andy Lau was betrayed by Miao Qiaowei.

In any case, the events of this night will not be made public, and it will not have much impact on the Hong Kong entertainment industry, except for five former friends with different thoughts, everyone is singing, dancing, and dancing.

……

Ye Qianwen's second album "Blessing" was released for two days, and the sales volume has exceeded 50,000 and won the platinum result, and the weekly sales are infinitely close to three platinum. Although most of the album's sales were completed within the first half of the month, there is no problem with this record breaking six platinum. A celebration banquet is gone.

The release of this album also made Ghost Sister firmly stand in the ranks of the top female singers in Hong Kong, and she has the posture to win the position of the number one actress in the Hong Kong music scene in one fell swoop.

Faced with such a situation. The only ones who can really laugh are famous artisan music and Polygram. There are only two signed singers under Mingjiang Music, but both of them have exploded with great strength, and all three records have sold well, almost sweeping the Hong Kong music scene.

And Polygram doesn't have to exert too much effort, only need to lend distribution channels to Mingjiang Music to earn dividends, and it is even more happy to close its mouth, maybe Polygram's senior management is still thinking that one day it will be able to take over Mingjiang Music. After all, for a record company, the distribution channel is very important, and the importance is not much lower than that of the film distribution channel.

But would they let them do that? Now and Polygram and do it, but there is no choice for the time being, and when Mo Fei has his own distribution channels, how can he continue to rely on Polygram. What is the difference between this and putting your life in the hands of someone else?

And all the people up and down Polygram will not know. The reason why Mo Fei is cooperating with Polygram now actually has another purpose, and this benefit will not be apparent until a long time later, and at that time, it will be time to cover his mouth and snicker.

Two singers have three records, and they can sell more than one million copies of Hong Kong local sales, all of which is normal in Mo Fei's opinion, Ghost Sister and Zhang Xueyou's albums are carefully created by him, with the first-class singer strength that the two themselves have. plus the most suitable song for the two in more than 30 years of history, coupled with PolyGram's distribution channels. If that doesn't work out, it's really better to buy a piece of tofu and crash to death.

The sales of the new album are hot, and the company naturally wants to hold a celebration party for the ghost girl, but the time will be placed after the sales statistics of a month, and the celebration party will be more imposing at that time, and at the same time, it can also cooperate with the overseas sales of this album.

Those who left Mingjiang Music at the beginning, now none of them regret to die, but Mingjiang Music has long since lost their place. Today, Artisan Music is one of the best record companies in Hong Kong, and it will also have high requirements for employment support, and it is no longer the era when you could mess around.

The record company is running well, and the talent shows, TV series, and movies are going well, so I can spare my mind to think about the singers of the New Year's Eve party.

At present, there are only two signed singers in Mingjiang Music, Ghost Sister and Zhang Xueyou, plus Zhou Huimin, who has signed a contract and has not yet been made public, as well as Li Keqin, Du Dewei, Xu Zhi'an, Jiang Shuna and Cao Mongzai, who plan to sign after the end of this "Asian Idol", as well as Andy Lau and Guo Fucheng, who have signed an artist contract but have not signed a record contract, there are only ten people.

Among these ten people, the only ones who can be called first-class singers are Ghost Sister and Zhang Xueyou, Zhou Huimin as the champion of "Asian Idol" can also be a little attractive, Andy Lau is a film and television star who already has a certain reputation, and the others are really not enough to watch, and the last New Year's Eve party is just a player who plays soy sauce and gets polished by the way.

In Mo Fei's plan, Zhang Xueyou can sing two songs at the New Year's Eve party, Ghost Sister can sing three, Zhou Huimin can also sing two, and the rest can only sing one, and the audience is likely not to buy it if they sing too much.

Then the remaining seats will have to invite singers from outside, and these singers must include Hong Kong and Taiwan. Tan Yonglin, who has worked with Mo Fei many times, has a very high status in the music world, and it is absolutely no problem to sing four songs, and the audience will not only not be disgusted but will also like it very much. Zhong Zhentao, a former member of the Wenna band, is also a singer who has worked with Mo Fei, and his singing strength is quite good, he will have no problem singing three songs, and he can also let him sing a chorus with Tan Yonglin later.

The other is a signed artist of Phoenix Culture, Chen Baixiang, who has the best relationship with Tan Yonglin and Zhong Zhentao, Chen Baixiang is not too good at singing, but as one of the hosts of the party and friends of Tan and Zhong, it is also very good to sing a song to adjust the atmosphere. Then he and Tan and Zhong sang a song together, with Chen Baixiang's funny kung fu and the popularity accumulated over the years, it should have a good effect.

Chen Baiqiang, who has cooperated before, although he is a singer of Warner, he has not cooperated since Phoenix Culture promoted singers by itself, but the New Year's Eve party is an opportunity to show his face. I believe that Warner will not let go of this opportunity to make money and expand Chen Baiqiang's influence.

Xu Guanjie, who is being a mentor in "Asian Idol", is also a good candidate, he is the "God of Song" before Zhang Xueyou. has an unparalleled influence in the Hong Kong music scene, and the New Year's Eve party with his participation will definitely be more attractive.

Originally, I liked to invite Zhang Guorong to come, but Zhang Guorong's record contract is still in Huaxing Records, and the Dian family has rented out the theater, and it will be disgusting when it comes, even if the relationship with Zhang Guorong is good, he can't be used for this party. I had to wait until he left Huaxing later.

In this way, it can also let other artists and singers in Hong Kong see that even Zhang Guorong and Mo Fei have such a good relationship, just because the record contract is related to TVB. didn't appear at the New Year's Eve party, and it's not hard to imagine through this that it's not the attitude in this regard.

After the end of "Asian Idol", Li Keqin, Du Dewei, Xu Zhi'an, Jiang Shuna, Cao Mongzi and others will win awards for themselves. Or excellent performance in competitions. Won a record contract with Famous Craftsman Music. These five people, as their own people of famous music, will of course be taken care of in all aspects, and each person sings such a song at the New Year's Eve party, which can be promoted just right, and will not cause disgust from the audience and fans.

There are enough male singers, and female singers still need to have more powerful people to join, otherwise this party will look very monotonous and not so rich.

The first one to enter Mo Fei's thoughts. is the singer Chen Huixian of Fa Amli, who is a serious singer in the Hong Kong music scene in the 80s and 90s. When he first debuted, he became a hit, and then he also released a record in Japan, and he is a very popular singer.

There are other female singers in Hong Kong with good strength, but they don't like it, or they are too old, and there is another Mei Yanfang, who is still a singer of Huaxing Records, and she will definitely not use it according to Mo Fei's principle.

So if you choose a female singer next, you have to consider the Taiwanese music scene. Deng Lijun is undoubtedly the most popular singer in Asia at the moment, not only in Chinese-speaking areas, but also in Japan, there are many fans, claiming that as long as there are Chinese places, there are her fans, although it is a bit exaggerated, but Deng Lijun's popularity cannot be ignored.

There is also a Taiwanese female singer whose music is quite charming and very powerful, that is, Cai Qin, who is known for her characteristic low lyrical voice, and the theme song of Lin Qingxia's "Last Night's Light" was sung by her. Could it be that he thought of inviting Cai Qin to participate in the New Year's Eve party, not only because Cai Qin's singing voice and strength can attract the audience, but also because he wanted to be able to dig Cai Qin into famous music, it won't take long for UFO records to have problems, this is a good opportunity.

Honggu has been learning music for a while, with the guidance of professional teachers, and the guidance of powerful cheats, Honggu's singing skills have improved rapidly, and they have far surpassed many singers in Hong Kong, and there is absolutely no problem in participating in the party. The future of Honggu's plan is quite gorgeous, and the film industry, the music industry, and the fashion industry must have a high status, and this New Year's Eve party is a good opportunity for Honggu to show her strength.

At present, these are the singers who can be sure to be invited, so I have roughly set the plan, and I began to prepare for the company's internal singers, the New Year's Eve party is a big move for him, and the singers who launched the company at the party will be very effective, and she also has to prepare a few good songs for her singers, and she can achieve the best effect by being prepared.

The people in "Asian Idol" can't move yet, so they have to call all the singers and artists who have signed contracts to the company first and start to make the most adequate preparations.

Honggu, Ghost Sister, Zhang Xueyou, Andy Lau, Guo Fucheng, Chen Baixiang arrived at the company almost at the same time, during this time everyone's work is not very easy, at this time to the company for a meeting, it is conceivable that it will definitely not be a trivial matter, several people came very quickly.

Mo Fei walked into the small conference room, followed by the secretary Yi Nan, who was still holding a stack of materials in his hand, and after giving a copy of the materials in his hand to everyone present, Yi Nan turned around and left to pour water for Mo Fei.

Mo Fei sat in his seat and said: "I called everyone here today, there is one thing to be done by everyone, what is sent to you is the song prepared by the company for you, give you three months, no matter how busy the work is, this matter cannot be delayed, it must be done within three months." ”

Looking at the expressions of several other people who were not very clear except for Honggu and Ghost Sister, who knew the inside story, it felt as if they were too nervous. But the New Year's Eve party can't be said yet, so I can only explain it simply: "This is a job that cooperates with the company's plan, and everyone should know about me." Fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, so of course I'm thinking about my own people. Singing is not a difficult thing, and the songs I brought you are all written according to your personal level, so it will not be too difficult. ”

Everyone opened the file in front of them, Zhang Xueyou was already a singer who had released six platinum records, and he was not so excited. But Andy Lau, Guo Fucheng and Chen Baixiang are different. Chen Baixiang is a fun-loving person, and anything interesting can attract his interest; Andy Lau and Guo Fucheng both have the idea of entering the music scene, which is obviously giving them a chance. It's no wonder if you're not excited.

Among the few songs that came out today, some of them are the theme songs of recent movies, and Mo Fei also began to make some appropriate explanations, saying: "First of all, "When Love Is a Thing of the Past". Sally and Friends. The song of the two of you is a chorus, which will be used as the theme song of a recent movie of the company, and it is more difficult to sing, and this movie is likely to be used for the competition, you must work hard to do it well, but you are all professional singers, and I am still very confident in you.

Alak, your song "My Late" is relatively simple, don't you always say that you are the best in Hong Kong. Then I'll give you one of the most lakh songs. This song doesn't require you to have a lot of strength, as long as you can show the funny style. The main thing is to be able to bring the atmosphere.

Chengzai, your song "Can't Finish Loving You" is a powerful song that sings and dances, and your singing strength has not been fully explored, but with your dance, it can also produce results. Andy, your song "Maybe It's Not Easy" is also specially prepared for you, it is also the theme song of a movie in the company, and singing this song will be of great help to you in the future.

Honggu's "Sitting-down-here" is in English, and I plan to do the theme song in the next movie, but I can't be sure about the specifics. Even if you don't do the theme song of the movie, this song will be very useful, and you have been studying music lately, so it shouldn't be too difficult. ”

"When Love Is a Thing of the Past" is the theme song of "Farewell My Concubine", which was originally sung by Li Zongsheng and Lin Yilian in history, it can be called an absolute classic song, but now among the artists under Mo Fei, only Zhang Xueyou and Ghost Sister can interpret it, as long as they sing this song well, it will not be worse than the original version, and the music world in the coming year will definitely give them the necessary affirmation.

"I Zhila" is a song that can drive the atmosphere of the scene, Chen Baixiang is known as the most lakh person, this matter is almost known to the fruit seller, let him sing will definitely bring the best effect. "Can't Stop Loving You" was originally Guo Fucheng's famous song, and it is still very interesting with hot dancing, with Guo Fucheng's current dance skills, there should be no difficulty in performing. "Maybe It's Not Easy" is the theme song of the movie "The Story of Ah Lang", and among all the currently signed artists in the company, only Andy Lau's voice feels the closest to the original singer, and can sing that feeling.

The song "Sitting-down-here" is relatively relaxed and cheerful, a little sweet, a little sexy, and a little free, which is specially prepared for Honggu to sing at the New Year's Eve party. Mo Fei doesn't know why Honggu didn't develop in the music industry in her previous life, and there is absolutely no problem singing with her voice, but after less than a year of training, it has now reached a very high level, which is definitely not comparable to ordinary singers.

Mo Fei is ready to launch Honggu at the New Year's Eve party, naturally it is impossible to prepare only this song for her, the other two songs have already been prepared, one Cantonese, one Chinese, plus this English, under Mo Fei's guidance, will definitely establish the status of a powerful singer after the New Year's Eve party, but it is not easy to say it on this occasion.

Although the ghost girl is also making movies while singing, Honggu is only making movies, Honggu's achievements in movies are excellent, and the status of the ghost sister in the music world is also rising, and Honggu and the ghost sister are not difficult because of each other's existence. But Mo Fei still felt that he had to hide when he was right, at least let the two of them know that he was working hard to maintain such a peaceful situation, and he could give a point when he had anything.

After distributing all the internal songs, Mo Fei also wanted to go to the recording site of "Asian Idol" to see, Jiang Shuna and Zhou Huimin both had songs specially for them, and the other guys were all bare-bones. Take a closer look at their current strength, and then you can choose the most suitable song for them, and I want to see if there are any lurking guys that haven't been found out.

On the way to Lin Shide Stadium, Mo Fei suddenly remembered the original author and original singer of the song "Maybe It's Not Easy", Luo Dayu, the future famous cow in the Chinese music scene, the godfather of Taiwanese pop music, and now it seems that he is getting very close to the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

The theme song of "The Story of Ah Lang" is divided into Chinese and Cantonese, and the Chinese version is sung by Luo Dayo himself, but he feels that he has robbed the lyrics and songs, it is better to hand over the Chinese singing to Luo Dayo to complete it, and it is not completely pit him, maybe it is also very possible to collect Luo Dayo to famous craftsman music through this song.

As soon as I think about it, I will think about it one after another, and I will think about this and then jump out of that. Just thought of letting Luo Dayo sing the Chinese theme song of "The Story of Ah Lang", he thought of the theme song "Angle" of another movie "City of Angels".

This song adds a lot of points to the movie, but it is not so easy to find the right singer, among the existing female singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan, no one can have the ethereal voice of Sarah McLaclan, and Sarah's sister is still young now, and it is impossible to sing that feeling.

In the future, there is a Wang Fei who can be replaced, but this girl is still going to school in Beijing, and even Dou Wei has not yet met it, where can she sing so ethereally, let alone wait for more than ten years later, Wang Fei will grow up, but can the movie still be made at that time?

If you can't find a suitable singer in Hong Kong and Taiwan, you can only expand the scope and find more professional candidates. When it comes to the most suitable candidate, of course, it is none other than Sarah Brightman, among the female singers in the world, there are few who can be stronger than her, and now Sarah Brightman has just begun to become popular, and it is not so difficult to invite.

There are also many benefits to having Sarah Brightman sing the theme song of "City of Angels". First of all, with this selling point, the box office of this film in Europe will increase significantly; Secondly, the original soundtrack of the movie will also be more selling, and the sales will increase a lot compared to the historical one. Another point is that they were able to contact Sarah Brightman's husband Andrew Loy Webber through this incident, and then they were able to contact Tim Leahie, and then buy the rights to the opera "Evita" that made Sarah Brightman finally famous.

If you can buy the copyright of "Evita", it will solve a big problem, the heavyweight finale of the New Year's Eve party will be found through this opera, and I believe that the most powerful world-class singers will be invited.

These problems can be solved, but the theme song of another movie "Samantha" still makes Mo Fei worried, the oldest member of the Gomez band is still very young, "We-havent-turned-around" is a rock-style song that Hong Kong and Taiwan singers can't play, and the song "Already-dead" is also difficult to get together.

If the movie is outstanding, it is inseparable from the soundtrack, and he is confident that with his own strength, he will definitely not be able to write a song more suitable than the original soundtrack, and even if he can write something, it will not be able to be done in a short time. And now is the time for him to vigorously develop his career and make a comprehensive layout in advance, and he is not allowed to spend a lot of time on that.

If you can't find a suitable singer in Hong Kong and Taiwan, do you choose European and American singers like "City of Angels", don't you think it's a very good idea. Female singers with ethereal voices are scarce, but he can't do rock-style songs by himself, and with the memories and experience of his previous life, he believes that he will not be worse than other singers of this era.
