In the Shaw Brothers company, when Run Shaw was talking about Chen Yihua in the office, several people in the office of another company in Hong Kong also mentioned Chen Yihua.

"What are you doing to eat, why didn't you report this Chen Yihua to me before, why no one has ever told me that the author of Xu Guanjie's two songs and Deng Lijun's two songs are the same author, such important information I don't know now, what else does the company do to raise you?"

"Lao Zheng, you put out the fire first, and you have to give them a chance to explain" Ke Zhengxin, who was standing next to Zheng Donghan, saw that his good friend's anger had calmed down a little, so he opened his mouth to persuade him.

Now ordinary fans in Hong Kong may not know who Zheng Donghan is, but in the industry, he is a veritable entertainment predator. He was a well-known guitarist in Hong Kong when he was younger, and the band he formed with Teddy Robin was a smash hit. After moving behind the scenes, he took over PolyGram Records at a young age and became the general manager of PolyGram Records in Hong Kong.

In later generations, many mainlanders may not know this Zheng Donghan, but many people should know his son Zheng Zhongji.

As the general manager of Hong Kong Polygram Records, Zheng Donghan single-handedly won the popular Hong Kong and Taiwan singers such as Jacky Cheung, Alan Tam, Xu Guanjie, Deng Lijun, Zhou Huimin, Leslie Cheung, Faye Wong, Andy Lau, Liming, Tong Ange and so on. In addition, he also used to jointly hold the equity of Golden Harvest Film with EMI. Zheng Donghan himself is also the founder of Gold Medal Entertainment and Busheng Gale (which was later reorganized as Gold Gale Gale).

At the age of 24, Zheng Donghan became the general manager of Hong Kong Polygram Records, and with his brilliant achievements, he rose all the way to become the president of PolyGram Asia, and successively served as the president of PolyGram and Universal Music.

"Say, let me see what you have to explain" Zheng Donghan also calmed down under the persuasion of his good friend, and looked at the heads of several companies standing in front of the desk.

Seeing that the boss's words were a little softened, several employees standing in front of him secretly wiped the sweat on their heads.

Polygram is now the world's largest record company, as early as the 1970s has been set up in Asia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and other regions of the branch, Zheng Donghan as the person in charge of Hong Kong has a lot of power, and since Deng Lijun joined Hong Kong Polygram Records, Zheng Donghan's position in the company has become more and more stable, in the company authority is very strong, most of the company is afraid of him.

'Mr. Zheng, our record company didn't sign a contract directly with that Chen Yihua at the beginning, and the middle was through Miss Deng Lijun and Xu Guanjie, even if the later profit sharing was transferred by the two, we didn't see Chen Yihua himself at all, so we didn't know that the person who wrote the song for Miss Deng Lijun was the same person who wrote the song for Xu Guanjie.

Hearing the words of his employees, Zheng Donghan was already calm, and he couldn't get angry, if so, it would be understandable, and now the agreement finalized by the two biggest singers of Polygram has to be used by Chen Yihua himself.

Xu Guanjie officially signed a contract with Polygram Records in 1971, and after five years of dedication, not only made Xu Guanjie a superstar in the Hong Kong music industry, but also made Hong Kong Polygram Records make a lot of money.

Deng Lijun is not to mention, although she has now joined the Hong Kong Polygram Company, but she is very free, the conditions for signing the contract are very relaxed, and the company does not have much restrictions on her, and the Polygram Company belongs to the party that stampers.

Polygram company is very lenient for these king-level singer contracts, if the singer himself brings his own songs, the song itself will also be divided into the singer, Chen Yihua's original four songs were sent by Xu Guanjie and Teresa Teng to sign, the two singers have a very high status in the record company, Polygram does not dare to make any stumbling blocks, the record company should only be the same as the contract signed by the two singers, so the sales share of several versions of Chen Yihua's songs will be signed so simply.

If it weren't for the Hong Kong media publishing in the newspaper that the names of the composers of the four songs "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind", "Holding Hands", "Genius Idiot Dream" and "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" were all Chen Yihua, Zheng Donghan might not know that this Chen Yihua is the same person for a while.

Exhaled, Zheng Donghan waved his hand and let a few employees under his hands go out, and there were only two people left in the company, Zheng Donghan and Ke Zhengxin.

'Zhengxin, what kind of person is this Chen Yihua, I don't seem to have heard of it before' Seeing that the irrelevant people were gone, Zheng Donghan also put away the serious face he had just put away.

Ke Zhengxin is not only the deputy manager of Hong Kong Polygram Records, but also a good friend of Zheng Donghan, the two cooperate tacitly, Ke Zhengxin helps him a lot, Zheng Donghan also trusts Ke Zhengxin, some things in the company are basically decided by the two of them, and some things Zheng Donghan can only say in front of him.

'I haven't heard of this name either, this Chen Yihua seems to have suddenly jumped out of a stone, I've never heard of this person before' Ke Zhengxin shook his head and said.

Now Hong Kong newspapers mention Chen Yihua's name more and more, but there is still no valuable information, I don't know who he is, there is no photo of him, and I don't know how old he is, but the more I don't know anything, the more mysterious Chen Yihua becomes, and the more the Hong Kong media pay more attention to him, so Chen Yihua's information will become more and more intense.

"It stands to reason that since this person knows Deng Lijun and Xu Guanjie, and he writes songs and scripts, he should have a lot to do with the entertainment industry, why have he never heard of this name?" It seems that Chen Yihua is very confused about Zheng Donghan, otherwise Zheng Donghan would not be as full of question marks as he is now.

'Eastern Han Dynasty, let's not think about it so much, the top priority now is to launch Xu Guanjie's new album' Ke Zhengxin doesn't want to waste his brain on doing useless work, neither of them knows this Chen Yihua, and now in the office thinking about what kind of person he is, it is completely a waste of time.

Xu Guanjie has had a certain pattern in the past two years, every time his eldest brother Xu Guanwen's movie is a big hit, Xu Guanjie will release a record, and it can also be a big hit, and now this movie is so popular, then Xu Guanjie should also launch a new album.

'Zhengxin, what do you think of Xu Guanjie's new song'

The song "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" is light and free, and the lyrics are very interesting, which is simply the best portrayal of ordinary citizens in Hong Kong, and describes the hard work, earning money, life and mentality of the wage earners very well. It also expressed the mood of Hong Kong people at that time who were eager to get rich and eager to get ahead. Almost everyone finds their own shadow in the song, and everyone sees what they crave. Whether it's decadent, it's popular, it's appropriate, it's positive, it's a thing.

'Oh, yes' Seeing that his old friend spoke highly of this song, Zheng Donghan did not object, after being the owner of a record company for so many years, he still has the strength in his eyes, after all, he was also born as a musician.

"Well, this song will definitely be popular" Ke Zhengxin then said affirmatively,

is worthy of a musician with a unique vision, after the hot sale of this record was launched, it was sold in Hong Kong record stores to the extent that it was to be grabbed, and it was also this record that completely imprisoned Xu Guanjie's status as a god of songs. Of course, if he did not have a certain strength, Ke Zhengxin would not have achieved the position of deputy manager of Hong Kong Polygram.

'Alas, to be honest, I really admire that Chen Yihua, this person is really a genius, the four songs he created, I think the songs are all classics, whether it is lyrics or music style, these four songs are the pinnacle of the song industry, it is very difficult for ordinary people to create a song, but he can write four good songs, it is really not something that anyone can do'Ke Zhengxin said with a sigh, he is the deputy manager of the record company and a music producer, of course, he has a deep feeling for Chen Yihua's works.

'I don't know if I'll ever be lucky enough to meet someone like this.'

Seeing his old friend's appearance of introducing Chen Yihua as a confidant, Zheng Donghan was happy, but he understood the feelings of his old friend, he himself used to be a senior music lover, even if he is now a manager, according to the fact that he can't change his love for music, he knows that a good song is important for a musician.

"Don't worry, Masashine, there will be a chance to meet"

'Ah, Eastern Han do you mean'

"Well, such a top music producer, how can we Polygram let it go, I must include him in his family if I have the opportunity" Zheng Donghan said with a firm look in his eyes, although he has not met Chen Yihua yet, but he already has an impulse in his heart to let Chen Yihua join PolyGram.

"Well, it's true that if such a talent is lost, it will be the biggest loss for our record company, but we don't know this Chen Yihua, he is so popular in Hong Kong now, our record company may not attract him."

Hearing Ke Zhengxin say this, Zheng Donghan didn't care very much, and smiled confidently, "No conditions, create conditions, I don't believe that our Polygram can't attract a song producer, since Chen Yihua can write songs for Deng Lijun and Xu Guanjie, he must know the two, they are people from our company, since Chen Yihua is familiar with them, he should naturally be close to our company."

"Yes, we are not familiar with Chen Yihua in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Miss Deng and Xu Guanjie, they know."

"Well, Deng Lijun is not in Hong Kong now, and Xu Guanjie, he should know about Chen Yihua, and I will ask him when the time comes, and strive to take down this Chen Yihua."

Zheng Donghan is full of confidence now, and I don't know if he can say such a thing if he knows Chen Yihua's real net worth.
