Chapter 148: Top 10 Chinese Golden Songs

The most influential song charts in the Hong Kong music scene are dozens of Chinese golden songs and the top ten golden songs of TVB. In Yang Lin's view, the top ten Chinese golden song list, founded in 1978, is more reliable and authoritative. It is hosted by Radio Television Hong Kong and co-organized by the Hong Kong Composers and Authors Association, the International Phonographic Association (HK) and the Hong Kong Record Association.

And TVB's top ten golden songs, the judges' standards have always been criticized, and the professional surname is very poor. Often on the eve of the awards, it is rumored that TVB summoned major record companies, divided the awards, and secretly announced a list of winners, and the final result confirmed the truth of the ugly article. So the excitement, surprise, emotion, and crying of the singers are just some deceptive tricks. And if you want to win an award at the "Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony", the singer must sign a contract with TVB, attend various activities of TVB, and film for TVB, which is well known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart. Of course, this is all in the future, the top ten golden songs were only founded in 84, and this year is only the second issue, and the influence is far from being comparable to the top ten golden songs list.

In the just-concluded 1984 Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs selection, shattered glasses. It is no surprise that Leslie Cheung topped the charts with his song "Monica", which established Leslie Cheung's status as a superstar in the music scene, and also broke the previous lyrical style of the Hong Kong music scene. If it weren't for Zhang Xueyou's "Louie Brothers" being an English song, it is estimated that it would also be on the list, and the popularity would definitely not be lower than Zhang Guorong's "Monica". In history, Zhang Guorong even relied on this song to open the prelude to challenging Tan Yilin.

However, Tan Yanlin, who is in the limelight and is so red and purple, only one song "Love in Late Autumn" was selected, and it is even the tail of the crane, which can't help but make Tan Yanlin's fans exclaim that there is an "inside story". However, after all the last ten songs were announced, except for Tan Xulin's diehards, most of them were silent.

Su Rui's "If the Dry Wine Sells Nothing", and then the advantage of the movie "Taking the Wrong Car" was selected, and this song is popular all over Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it is well deserved. The love of the children for their father is dissolved in the song, which reflects the perfect combination of story and musical interaction. Because Su Rui's singing voice is very tenacious, coupled with the wide vocal range, it creates a strong sense of vicissitudes, and uses the simplest, most simple and most tear-jerking musical language to achieve the explosion of passionate emotions in an instant.

The song "Like Water Flowing Years" can be regarded as allowing Mei Yanfang to open the Golden Strip of the music world. In particular, Mei Yanfang's "man" image in the album gives people a very heroic feeling, and the public generally accepts her new image, which leaves a deep impression. But now Mei Yanfang has joined "Red Star Records", and under Yang Lin's tutelage, she is destined to change her style.

Chen Baiqiang has been very strong this year, and it is reasonable that his "Picking Stars" was selected, and Yang Lin's "Remembering Relatives" was selected last year.

The most surprising to fans, but it is reasonable, are the two newcomers Zhang Xueyou and Chen Huixian under "Red Star Records". Zhang Xueyou's "Blessing", "I Just Want to Go with You All My Life", "Love Has Passed Away", Chen Huixian's "Where to Meet in Life" and "Blessing", five songs from the second to the sixth, occupy half of the top ten Chinese golden songs.

In the history of the top ten Chinese golden songs, there has never been such a situation, breaking many records in one fell swoop. For example, "the record company with the most selected songs in the same session", "the most selected songs by newcomers", etc., the latest eye-catching is "the lyricist and composer who has selected the most songs in one session".

Yang Lin's name as "Hong Kong Entertainment Talent" resounded throughout Hong Kong, and he became recognized as one of the top music creators in the Hong Kong music scene in one fell swoop, and also completely polished the signboard of "Red Star Records", and no one dared to underestimate this newly established small company with only three signed singers. Almost all singers believe that as long as they sing a song by Yang Lin, the newcomer will immediately become popular, and the red one will turn purple.

At the same time, Yang Lin also received an invitation from the Hong Kong Composers and Authors Association. Xu Junqin, the general manager of "Red Star Records", also submitted an application for membership to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. IFPI is an international non-governmental organization for the protection of copyright, whose activities revolve around the protection of the copyrights and related rights of its members, and organizes and coordinates anti-piracy activities in the phonographic industry and provides industry-related information to protect the interests of its member companies. The two associations, the former represents Yang Lin to be personally recognized by the Hong Kong music scene, and the latter represents that "Red Star Records" can have the basic qualifications to become an international record company.

Regarding the strong rise and rapid momentum of "Red Star Records", the Hong Kong music scene shouted "The wolf is coming", and the Hong Kong record industry giants led by Huaxing and Polygram immediately began to deal with it and consolidate their traditional position without being shaken.

Yang Lin was sitting in the office of "Red Star Records", and after seeing the news in the newspaper, he was even thinking infinitely: If the buddies get out the gods of "Kiss Goodbye", "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" and "Song of the Sunset", can they give this top ten Chinese golden songs to Bao Yuan? Then he shook his head amusedly, even if all of them are at the level of the Divine Comedy, considering the balance factor, it is impossible to monopolize them all. This time, it can occupy half of the top 10, and this selection ranking is already fair. Besides, if he gets all these divine comedies out, will he still play fart in the future?

Xu Junqin looked at the faintly smug expression between his eyebrows, and he was a little funny. Usually Yang Lin always has a surname that is light and light, and everything is not in his heart, and he is not old, but now this young man's demeanor makes him feel that Yang Lin's real age is still a young man.

Yang Lin glanced at Xu Junqin and deliberately cocked Erlang's legs: "Don't be proud of your achievements, make persistent efforts." ”

Xu Junqin sat opposite Yang Lin with a grin, and said with a smile: "Didn't you read the newspaper that the record company that young singers or newcomers in Hong Kong want to join the most is our Red Star Records." There was even a reporter who did a boring survey, and more than 80% of the 50 young people who were immediately selected on the street said that if they entered the music scene, they hoped to join our Red Star Records. ”

As soon as Xu Junqin said this, a bright light flashed in Yang Lin's mind: I almost forgot a big thing! Yang Lin straightened up suddenly, tugging at his hair and thinking for a long time. After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't come up with a reason, so I grabbed the phone and dialed a number: "Brother Sheng, please do something." ”

"Hehe, Boss Yang is so polite, I can't stand it." A loud voice came from the phone.

Yang Lin smiled: "Who can't stand it?" Brother Sheng, help me check the information of the rookie singing, I want the exact information of a person. ”

There was a deep groan on the phone: "Alin, it's not that my brother won't help you, isn't this okay?" Revealing the contestants' information, Aunt Fang will be unhappy. ”

"What contestants? There is still more than a month left in the competition, and at most it is a sign up. Do me a favor, it's a big deal to have a cup of tea. "Yang Lin is kind and seductive.

"Okay, but you have to keep it a secret, you can't mix it up if someone knows about it. By the way, whose information is it checking? ”

"A little girl named Zhou Huimin, seventeen or eighteen years old."

"Well, you wait, there are too many registrations, I'll call you if I find out."

After chatting a few more words, Yang Lin hung up the phone.

Xu Junqin asked, "Ah Sheng? ”

Yang Lin nodded. It was Zhou Qisheng who called, Gu Jiahui's apprentice, that is, Xu Junqin and Yang Lin's senior brothers.

Zhou Qisheng is a music prodigy, and at the age of sixteen, he was called by EMI Records to audition and share a recording studio with Chen Baiqiang. Lin Zixiang's first Cantonese disc, he served as an assistant producer. Although he has also released discs, it is obvious that his singing skills are not as good as those of arrangement. After a short time, he went to Gu Jiahui to learn music as a teacher. The record company threatened him not to give out the disc if he didn't do this job, but Zhou Qisheng was unmoved. At the age of 20, he had already become the first music director of Li's TV. Later, Shao Yifu was recruited to Huaxing Records through Gu Jiahui's relationship and served as the production director.

"Zhou Huimin? Is this guy singing well? Xu Junqin said curiously. I haven't heard of this name, but if Yang Lin can risk Zhou Qisheng violating the principles and find out the details, he will know that it must not be simple. Is it just like when Yang Lin saw Zhang Xueyou, an airline clerk, and Chen Huixian, who only opened his mouth to say a few words, he saw at a glance that he was a singing genius?

"Uh," Yang Lin didn't know how to say, so he had to vaguely say, "It's okay." ”

How so? Strictly speaking, Zhou Huimin does not have any masterpieces, and many of her songs are very beautiful, like gurgling water, telling the story. However, her image is the purest dream in the hearts of Hong Kong men in the nineties of the last century, with beautiful eyes, soft long hair, and a voice like a bird, no matter which angle you look at, it is flawless. As a result, the aesthetics of the year became simple and traditional because of Zhou Huimin, and women no longer regarded long waves as beautiful souls, and began to appreciate the beauty of clear soup noodles. In the early to mid-90s, she was popular for half the sky, acting in movies, releasing records, holding concerts, and was the dream lover of all boys.

Not to mention that her singing voice is characteristic, even if it is so bad that it can't be done, her beauty and temperament can be automatically ignored.

She once collected thousands of favors, swept for decades, and became an ageless legend. So many "jade girls" all originated from that name - Zhou Huimin.

If it weren't for Xu Junqin talking about young singers in Hong Kong, Yang Lin would have almost forgotten Zhou Huimin, who is about to debut this year to participate in the "Rookie Singer Competition". Be sure to catch her before she participates in the rookie singer contest and signs a contract with TVB.

If Chen Huixian is Yang Lin's idol, then Zhou Huimin is Yang Lin's dream lover. Chen Huixian and being recruited by herself, how could she let go of this number one beauty in the Hong Kong entertainment industry? (To be continued.) )
