Chapter 45: Youth is like water
From the trip to the United States to the signing of Chen Baiqiang, An Yifei has completed the paving of the record company, you must know that in the twenty or thirty years before the Internet was popular, the record industry was more profitable than movies. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info After collecting several masters who almost dominate the music scene everywhere, An Yifei is equivalent to rebuilding a money printing machine.
Time brings not only the passage of time to people, but also all kinds of changes or perceptions. In the coming 80s, whether it is Chen Pak-qiang in Hong Kong, Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng in Taiwan, or Miyuki Nakajima in Samoto, and Seiko Matsumoto, who has eliminated his hidden worries and happily returned to Samoto, will enter a series of creative explosions. After that, classic songs that had been popular for many years appeared one after another.
Although it is from the future, An Yifei is still full of yearning for the golden 80s, and even when he is watching the "good voice" on the spot, he can't help but be excited. Hong Kong's entertainment is not only about movies and television, but also countless classic songs that are about to appear in the 80s, which are getting closer and closer.
He was watching the brutal PK match live, and The Voice had entered the final stage of the live broadcast. There is no surprise that after the second episode of this novel variety show was broadcast, it once again set off a ratings frenzy, making the other two TV stations have to avoid the edge for the time being. They also wanted to copy this column, but in the end, they were very angry to learn that these columns had applied for patent protection, and if they wanted to copy it, they would have to pay a large fee, and they had to use a similar way to the three-episode TV series to recover the lost ratings.
There was no accident in the PK competition, it was Zhang Xueyou, Mei Yanfang, Chen Huixian and Huang Jiaju. From the bottom of his heart, An Yifei liked any of them, so he didn't interfere with the process of the game. The more than a dozen telephone lines prepared by the TV station are now almost bursting, and the Chinese in Hong Kong and even other parts of Southeast Asia are trying to support their favorite students. The benefits brought by such interactivity made the whole Taiwan beaming.
This is the first time An Yifei has seen the young and slightly young Sister Mei, although she is only 16 years old at this time, she has 12 years of stage performance experience. Therefore, An Yifei's eyes contained a trace of understanding and heartache, remembering the rumors about her gambling mother that were finally disclosed in the news in later generations, and secretly shook her head.
Mei Yanfang, who was singing the song "The Season of the Wind", felt this different look, but her years of performance experience did not make her make mistakes, but glanced at this eye full of thousands of words from a distance. Then, he continued to calmly and devotedly interpret this classic.
It's a pity that Mei Yanfang's PK opponent is Zhang Xueyou, who will be known as the god of songs in the future, and An Yifei is also very speechless about her out, but it is the uncertainty of competition that is the source of ratings, just like a life of joys and sorrows.
Mei Yanfang, who returned to the backstage, was still in a bad mood, and her sister Mei Aifang, who accompanied her, was persuading her in a low voice, and neither of them noticed An Yifei who walked into the dressing room.
"Cough", after reminding the sisters with a cough, An Yifei looked at the young Mei Yanfang with a smile.
"Mr. Ahn, it's a pleasure to meet you"
"You know me?"
Mei Yanfang had quickly recovered her mood, and looked at the man opposite with admiration, "Mr. An, everyone on Hong Kong Island knows that you are quite low-key, but you ignore the almost innate gossip psychology of Hong Kong people. Legends about you are almost spread in the streets and alleys."
Touching his nose embarrassedly, An Yifei was a little helpless, thinking: "I haven't done anything famous."
Seeing this, Mei Yanfang, who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, explained, "Mr. An, what your freshwater plant brings to Hong Kong is hope and comfort, and there are people in Phoenix TV who like to talk nonsense everywhere, saying that many new programs are from you, and now many people know about it", in fact, Mei Yanfang still has something to say in her heart, that is: "You and Honggu, Ah Lian and others gossip, do you really think no one knows?" ā
An Yifei, who has already heard Lin Qingxia and Deng Lijun say this, is helpless, it is impossible for him not to let people talk about himself, right? can only divert the topic: "Miss Mei, I am very optimistic about your strength, the competition is just entertainment, not everything." Do you know my record label and would you like to join? ā
"Of course I do, Sister Lijun told us about it, except for Ah Ju who likes freedom and didn't agree, everyone else is very willing to join Phoenix Records"
An Yifei is not in a hurry, Huang Jiaju broke out in the late eighties, and now he still needs to accumulate more, and without the kind of unruly heart after the vicissitudes of life, it is impossible for this person to write those popular songs later. So, after nodding, "Okay, Miss Mei, you're welcome to join." Later you will know how abundant the company's resources are."
The news from the branch of Phoenix Records is: due to the addition of Miyuki Nakajima, it has attracted many singer-songwriters to join; And Taiwan also attracted Tong Ange and others to join because of Luo Dayou's relationship. Due to the internal mechanism of resource sharing, Phoenix Records, under An Yifei's planning and busyness, has been accumulating a large number of original songs from the beginning, and the starting point is very high.
Mei Yanfang didn't speak, but walked in front of An Yifei, hugged him in surprise, and pillowed her head on his chest. After a little hesitation, An Yifei patted the girl on the back, he understood very well the feeling of not being protected by his father since he was a child, and being forced to sing on stage by his mother. The girl in her arms was tired and needed a fatherly harbor.
"Amei, in the future, I will be your safe island here, and I will be your umbrella, don't be afraid", as she spoke, An Yifei gently patted Amei's back again. There was a trance in front of me, as if I saw the ups and downs that a four-year-old little Lori had gone through since she performed on stage. In such a complex environment as Hong Kong Island, in the great age of countless societies and dark existences, there are countless small boats in the ocean like her.
Whether it is Mei Aifang, who also wants to throw herself into that generous arms, or Mei Yanfang, who burst into tears again, they all believe the words of those employees of Phoenix Film and Television, "Entering the company, I feel like I am home, so relieved"
Mei Yanfang didn't care that An Yifei stroked her hair like a daughter, she really didn't want to leave that generous embrace, because she was in his arms, as if she had unloaded all the burdens, and she wanted to sleep quietly.
Mei Yanfang, who signed the contract, also let An Yifei see the ambivalence in her heart about her mother, and actually took the initiative to move to the dormitory area in the film and television city, not wanting to go back to the home that made her often have nightmares.
When watching Chen Huixian and Huang Jiaju's live PK match again, An Yifei had completely dreamed of turning his property into a safety island, and those slightly distant memories resurfaced, and he even recalled in a cold sweat the memories of those Hong Kong Island entertainment geniuses who died young, Ah Weng, Danny, Jiaju ......, and countless unknown darkness.
"It's not enough to just have a safe island, you also have to expand your strength. Entertainment should not only be entertainment, but also art, representing the art of an era. I want to protect them, protect these geniuses, and not let the conspiracy succeed again. Moreover, whether it is a TV station or a movie, I must promote my Chinese culture, no matter whether it is still like that in the future, since I have come, I will do what I should do, and I am worthy of my heart."
Today's Chen Huixian is only 14 years old, but her singing skills are already very good. And her delicate appearance made her obviously more loved by the audience than Huang Jiaju, who had not yet grown up, so this little girl won the competition with excitement at the end.
There is still a year to go, and the original song of "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que", which has been sung for many years, will appear, and the original song of "Drifting Snow" will appear three years later. An Yifei can't wait, there are many stars who debuted in their teens in this era, so the little girl Chen Huixian was also signed early.
When Zhang Xueyou won the championship of this year's "The Voice", An Yifei included several future music superstars except Huang Jiaju into his record company. With Chen Shuhua and Li Zongsheng also coming from Taiwan Island. People on both Hong Kong Island and the Southeast are starting to go crazy for Phoenix Records.
The first thing that touched everyone's heartstrings was Teresa Teng's album "Sweet Honey", and the duet of "Heart Rain" and "Walking on the Road of Life" were also the same as "Sweet Honey", which quickly swept around the world, and it was jaw-dropping to reach the sales of gold records within a month.
1979 was a year for Phoenix Film and Television, and when "Sweet Honey" was still a big hit, a song "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" in Cantonese with gentleness once again soared into a buying frenzy, which also made Chen Huixian quickly famous. Just when people thought it was over, Mei Yanfang, Zhang Xueyou, Chen Baiqiang and others were also born, completely breaking the pattern of Hong Kong's music scene. This is what happened under the premise that An Yifei did not come up with the trump card of "plagiarism" in order to be a long stream.
In order to ease the market, and also to have enough buffer period for the records of the two singers in one middle school and one Guangdong and the singers below, Chen Shuhua, who came to Hong Kong, was arranged by An Yifei to go to the next year to make a splash. But both Chen Shuhua and Li Zongsheng are very satisfied with the fixed salary given by An Yifei, which is much higher than that in Taiwan, Chen Shuhua made a cameo appearance as the host on Phoenix Channel, and Li Zongsheng was writing the theme songs of some serial dramas, and then exercised himself.
Let's go back to the time half a month after the end of The Voice, Lin Qingxia was under the strong protection of An Yifei, and she was no longer afraid of those scandals. Devoted to the filming of the new film, and it was An Yifei who "wrote" the script "My Savage Girlfriend", Lin Qingxia at this age is very suitable to play the heroine, and the delicate Chen Baiqiang was played by An Yifei to be the protagonist. Zhang Wanting, a well-known female director in Hong Kong, became the director of this drama, and Hong Gu became the producer.
