Chapter 027 Singing Final on
"Judges, I invited Gu Jiahui, Huang Zhan, Wang Fuling, Luo Wen, Xu Xiaofeng, Zhen Ni, Xu Guanjie and Deng Lijun, who has just returned from a successful concert tour in the United States, you will appear as a judge and the champion award presenter, what do you think of this arrangement?"
"Not bad." Gu Weiqi said with satisfaction: "These are all well-known authority figures in the music industry, and it is great to have them as judges." In the next period of time, my mind will be on making movies, and all the affairs of the TV station will be entrusted to you, Xiao Lao and Ms. Zhou Liang. ”
Huang Xizhao said solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I will definitely take care of the TV station." ”
"Well, I believe you." Gu Weiqi looked at the time, it was already more than 16 o'clock in the afternoon, and said, "I guess it's almost time for the finals, right?" ”
"There is still more than an hour, and the final time is 18 o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, our TV station will broadcast the finals live in the form of live broadcast. ”
"Oh, let's go, take me to see how the preparations are going?"
The two said that they would go, and after Gu Weiqi got off the car at the place, he found that this "flagship theater of the Tang Dynasty" was originally in the Liyuan area of Mong Kok, but it was very close to the "Liyuan Building".
At that time, there were already many small vendors gathered at the entrance of the theater, selling melon seed drinks, sugarcane popcorn, and fish balls and milk tea...... There were also spectators who were about to enter the stadium to watch the game, and the entrance of the theater was blocked. All kinds of shouting and selling are endless, and it seems to be very lively.
When Huang Xizhao led Gu Weiqi into the theater, he saw that Zhou Liang Shuyi, the general director of the program, was directing the staff to lay out the red carpet, arrange the stage, and adjust the lighting; Xu Xiaoming dispatched a number of assistants to adjust the photography and live broadcast equipment, and the backing band was also adjusting the instruments. All in all, all the work is being carried out in an orderly manner.
Seeing that the boss and president were all here, the people who were working greeted Gu Weiqi and Huang Xizhao one after another. Gu Weiqi waved his hand and motioned for them to continue working.
Some of the contestants put the finishing touches on the dressing room behind the stage, trying their best to show their best side; Some recuperate in the lounge. In order to avoid the players' psychological tension and abnormal performance, Gu Weiqi did not go to see them, anyway, there is another hour The game will officially start, and there will always be a time to see them.
As for the judges, because it has not yet reached the start time, they naturally haven't rushed over yet.
Gu Weiqi took a look, his theater was very spacious, especially the seats were replaced by high-end backrest chairs, replacing the original benches. There are also shops, private rooms, cafes, etc., which are running very well, and I don't know who is in charge of the theater now, so it seems that Fang Lingwei has to ask Luo Jianan when I go back.
In a flash, it was time for the finals, and when there were 15 minutes left before the start of the competition, the judges personally invited by Huang Xizhao gradually entered the competition. There were also reporters from many media and newspapers, after all, such a grand singing competition is big news in the Xiangjiang area. In particular, the champion can get a million-dollar prize, so it is natural to go to the scene to get first-hand news materials.
The audience who had bought the tickets had already entered the theater 20 minutes earlier. At that time, Gu Weiqi was already sitting in the second row of judges, and Huang Xizhao was sent away by him, after all, Phoenix Company had other affairs to deal with.
Not long after Gu Weiqi sat down, he felt a fragrant breeze coming, turned his head to look, and found a beautiful woman sitting on the left.
At that time, Deng Lijun was 27 years old, wearing a linen-colored windbreaker, a narrow-brimmed hat on her head, a fluffy knitted scarf around her neck, and her gentle smile made her look like a sweet sister next door. It's just that the figure has begun to gain weight slightly. But because of this, it makes her look more of a mature woman's charm.
A few years ago, Deng Lijun's "Airport" album sold 750,000 copies and became the most popular sweet singer in the music world. But after last year, Deng Lijun's fake household photo incident broke out, and he was imprisoned for 7 days and deported. It is said that the fans of this song have felt deceived, and the media in Taiwan also flattered the "Japanese" and treasoned against the country, saying that they would no longer welcome Deng Lijun back to Taiwan.
Deng Lijun, who has been listed as an unwelcome figure in Yueben, Taiwan and other places, has slipped from the peak to the trough. However, she still wants to make a comeback and return to the stage adored by fans. This year, she began to sign a contract with Polygram and arranged for Deng Lijun to hold a concert in North America to build momentum, which is her most precious comeback opportunity!
Deng Lijun is very competitive, even if his career is at a low ebb, he has never given up his efforts. Jingguo has been singing more and more in the United States after a series of concerts in North America. He even received invitations from Duncan Center in New York and the Los Angeles Music Center. The concert tour was even more full, and it was applauded and sold. Reporters and musicians are constantly chasing her and running around the country.
Looking at the popularity of North America, the accusations against Deng Lijun all over Asia have died down!
But Gu Weiqi knows that this superstar in the popular Chinese entertainment industry is about to disappear for more than ten years. Thinking of this, he felt as if he should do something, so he smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Miss Lijun, my name is Gu Weiqi, can you get acquainted?" ”
"Hello." Deng Lijun shook his hand politely, Gu Weiqi? Why does it sound so familiar? Suddenly, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but hesitate: "Could it be that the songs 'The Great Wall Will Never Fall', 'Dream Chaser' and 'This Is My Life' were created by you, Mr. Gu?" ”
"Yes." Gu Weiqi smiled slightly: "That's just my temporary game, but let Miss Lijun laugh, you can call me Archie." ”
"What?" Deng Lijun said movingly: "The work of the game? "I can't help but be moved, it's really that those songs are very good, this is still a game, if you get serious, then you have to do it?
"Huh~" A surprised voice suddenly sounded on Gu Weiqi's right: "Lijun, I heard that your concert tour in the United States is very popular, but I didn't expect you to come over to serve as a judge of this singing contest!" Who is this pretty boy? ”
Gu Weiqi turned his head and saw that he was the originator of Cantonese songs, the last Xu Guanjie among the four masters of the first generation of singers in Xiangjiang, and it turned out that his seat was on the right side of Gu Weiqi, which was really a coincidence.
Speaking of the four heroes of the Xu family, they are all well-known figures in the entertainment industry in the seventies and eighties of Xiangjiang. However, for now, Xu Guanjie's reputation in the entertainment industry has not yet reached the point where he is the most valuable in the future. However, after the Cantonese album "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" was released a few years ago, he was a well-deserved brother in the music industry, and "God of Song" was the best evaluation of him.
The boss Xu Guanwen used to be a staff member of Shao's Film Company, and in 1973, he voted the script of "Ghost Horse Double Star" to Shao's, hoping to share the profits with Shao's joint venture. But with Shao's status in the film industry and Shao Yifu's domineering, even Li Xiaolong, who is like Zhongtian, doesn't pay attention to it, where is he willing to agree to Xu Guanwen's conditions?
In this way, Xu Guanwen switched to Golden Harvest in 1974, and founded the Xu Brothers Film Company with his three brothers in the same year, and it was the "Ghost Horse Double Star", as the pioneering work of the new company, which broke the Hong Kong box office record after its release and got 6.25 million Hong Kong dollars. In the following years, the production of "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" once again broke the box office record. Others such as "Genius and Idiot" and "Deed of Sale" have achieved very good box office results, and Hui Guanwen has become the best comedian in Hong Kong.
Xu Guanwu, the second eldest member of the Xu family, is only famous in the circle because he is engaged in behind-the-scenes work, and his popularity in the society is not as good as those actors and singers who stand in the foreground; As for the third brother Xu Guanying, it can't be said that it is bad, but it is much worse than Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie's achievements, but he is still one of the most well-known artists in the Xiangjiang film industry.
At that time, Xu Guanjie was still very young, with a gentle smile on his face, and he looked very kind.
"This is Mr. Gu Weiqi."
Deng Lijun said: "The songs 'The Great Wall Will Never Fall', 'This Is My Life' and 'Dream Chaser' were written by Mr. Gu. Look at...... Archie, who believes this don't need me to introduce, right? ”
"The god of songs, Xu Guanjie." Gu Weiqi said with a smile: "I have admired your name for a long time, Brother Xu, and when I see you today, my brother is really honored!" ”
"What?" Xu Guanjie said movingly: "You are Gu Weiqi?" ”
"I am." Gu Weiqi shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It's like a fake!" ”
"Then don't call me 'God of Song', this name is too big, and I can't afford it in front of you, a musical wizard who hasn't been out for a hundred years. It's the song 'The Great Wall Never Falls' that you composed is very good, and it can be called the best Cantonese song in recent years."
Xu Guanjie said solemnly: "There is also the song 'Blood Like Fire', which also complements the TV series of 'Drunken Boxing King Wuji'. In particular, the two songs "Dream Chaser" and "This is My Life" are very good classics, and now these singles are selling like crazy, if you want me to say that you are the real 'God of Song'! ”
Gu Weiqi waved his hand and chuckled: "Brother Xu praised it, those songs are just my accidental games, and they are far worse than Brother Xu." ”
While a few people were talking, it was time for the game.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, the audience and friends in front of the TV, here is the final scene of the first 'Myth and Legend Singing Contest' jointly organized by 'Tian Lai Legend International Music Company', 'China Entertainment Times' and 'Myth International Press' in collaboration with Phoenix TV."
The hosts Yang Yipan and Xu Xiaoming stood on the stage, and the latter continued: "This program is broadcast under the title of 'Tang Dynasty Daily Chemical', and at the same time, this program has also won the titles of 'Yushanfang International Restaurant', 'Tang Dynasty International Supermarket', 'Xinqi International Comics Agency', and 'Blueprint International Digital High-tech R&D Institution'...... Thanks again for their support! "In short, reporting all the industries under Gu Weiqi's name can be regarded as advertising these companies in disguise.
I saw that at that time, Yang Xuanpan was wearing light makeup, wearing a fashionable professional attire, the top two buttons of the white shirt were not buttoned, and a piece of snow-white skin could be seen from the slightly open low neckline, with a charming luster, and the transparent crystal chain hanging on the white neck reflected each other, under the light blue skirt, a pair of long legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings were plump and round, and the whole person was dignified and fashionable without losing elegance, which attracted the attention of everyone present.
In fact, with the daily broadcast of "Huo Yuanjia", Yang Xuanpan was really beautiful during this time. So Zhou Liang Shuyi, who was in charge of the singing competition, specially transferred her from the stage to preside over the final.
Such a beautiful woman made Gu Weiqi's heart move.
