"The sea laughed, surging tides on both sides of the strait;

The ups and downs follow the waves, only remember the present day.

The sky is smiling, and the tide is in the world;

God knows who loses and who wins.

The rivers and mountains are smiling, and the smoke and rain are far away'

The waves sweep away the red world!

The breeze laughs, but it makes me lonely;

There is still a night photo left of pride.

The common people laugh and don't ...... anymore"

Xu Yijie, who was wearing a Huashan Tsing suit, slowly hummed the song while waving the beat of the song with his right hand. Xu Xijie is worthy of being the god of singers in Hong Kong, and he sang this song for the first time, and he was able to sing it well.

Xu Xiwen's new movie "Modern Bodyguard" has already been launched, and this classic Xu's cold humor comedy Li Xuan has seen it many times in later generations. The whole movie of "Modern Bodyguard" can be said to be of very high quality, and it will be the enemy of Li Xuan's "Smiling Proud Jianghu". And now Xu Xijie has also started to run around with the crews on both sides, fortunately, the intermittent scene of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has been filmed, so there is no need for Xu Yijie to rush to the scene.

But this nightless filming, even an iron man can't stand it, and recently Li Xuan found that Xu Xijie was a lot tired. This protagonist Ling Hu Chong is a hero of martial arts, so the actor's Weiya is much hanging. In order to prevent Xu Xijie from having any major accidents when hanging Weiya due to exhaustion, Li Xuan also deliberately slowed down the filming progress so that he could rest more.

However, during the intermission of the crew this night, Li Xuan did not let Xu Yijie idle, he found Xu Yijie with a sheet of music. And what is written on this score is the classic song "A Laugh in the Sea" of Hong Kong martial arts movies!

Watching Xu Xijie slowly hum this song, Li Xuan, who was standing on the side, asked impatiently, "Ah Sam, how do you feel about this song?" ”

Xu Yijie, who was a little unsatisfied with the good song, nodded, looked at Li Xuan and praised: "Very good!" The whole song is written in a heroic and vicissitudes of life, which is very worthy of Ah Xuan's movie. ”

"Haha, it's good to get your compliment. How about it, are you interested in releasing an album of the same name of "Smiling Proud Jianghu"? Li Xuan thanked him happily, and in a blink of an eye, he summoned his purpose.

"Release an album of the same name of "Smiling Proud Jianghu"?" Xu Yijie frowned, and asked slowly: "Do you want the album and the movie to be released together, and then promote each other?" ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded and laughed heartily: "Isn't this a trick I learned from your Xu brothers, by the way, how are the preparations for your "Modern Bodyguard" album this time?" ”

"We haven't made an album yet!" Xu Xijie smiled at the score: "This time, my eldest brother didn't plan to release an album, I want to see the market first." ”

“……”

Li Xuan looked at Xu Xijie speechlessly, the tricks that their brothers had tried and tested repeatedly were not going to be used this time. Is this the lack of funds for the movie and the desire to see the market first, or Xu Xiwen is full of confidence in his movie?

Seeing that Li Xuan didn't respond, Xu Xijie didn't care, looked at the score and hummed the song softly, this time he liked this song more. Most of Xu Xijie's previous songs were in a minor key, with simple tunes and popular lyrics, although it is easy to sell and easy to sing, there is no feeling of being high-grade in the atmosphere. And this song "A Laugh in the Sea" is different, not only the tune is heroic but the lyrics look high-grade, can he not like it?

Turning his head to look Li Xuan up and down, Xu Yijie shook his head and sighed: "Tsk! I really don't know how you learned Ah Xuan, filming is so good, and writing songs is so good! ”

"Haha, that's because you only know that I made movies under Wang Tianlin, but you never noticed who I learned to write songs from." Li Xuan said quite smugly.

"Oh?" Hearing Li Xuan say this, Xu Xijie asked curiously, "Who is your teacher?" ”

"You may not know my teacher, you should ask who my teacher is."

"Master?"

Li Xuan nodded and replied casually: "Who do you say is the most powerful in composition in Hong Kong now?" ”

"In terms of composition, it is naturally ......" Xu Xijie just replied half a sentence casually, then looked at Li Xuan in surprise and asked, "Your master is Gu Jiahui?" ”

Li Xuan didn't answer at this time, just nodded. Xu Yijie and Gu Jiahui are the initiators of modern pop music in Hong Kong, and it is impossible for them not to know each other, which also saves Li Xuan a lot of speech.

"Tut, it's really a famous teacher and a high apprentice." Xu Yijie stretched out his thumb and gestured and praised.

Li Xuanzhi accepted this compliment and continued to ask: "Then Ah Sam, how is the matter of the album being considered now?" ”

"I like this song very much, but ......" Xu Xijie raised the score in his hand and smiled: "But just such a song will definitely not be released on an album." ”

"Haha, it's definitely not just this one, I've also written five or six songs, it's enough. Moreover, I also plan to sing this song "A Laugh in the Sea" in both Chinese and Cantonese. ”

"Five or six songs? Show it to me. Xu Xijie's eyes lit up and asked casually.

watched "A Laugh in the Sea", Xu Xijie was very much looking forward to Li Xuan's next few works, and immediately asked. As for singing "A Laugh in the Sea" again in Chinese, he didn't pay attention to it. Hong Kong's music scene, like the film industry, used to be a world of Chinese songs and English songs, until Hui Xijie's song "Ghost Horse Double Star" gave Cantonese songs a foothold in Hong Kong. Before that, Xu Xijie also sang Chinese songs and English songs for several years. Therefore, speaking Chinese and singing Chinese songs is not difficult for him at all.

"I didn't bring those songs with me today, so I left them at home." Li Xuan spread his hands and said briskly.

"Uh......" Xu Xijie was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Li Xuan didn't care about so much, and asked again: "It's enough for this song, there are still two or three songs missing, I don't believe you don't have any stock at all." Rest assured, I can guarantee the quality of the remaining five or six songs, they are absolutely all excellent! ”

"Okay, I promised." Xu Xijie nodded, thought about it and said, "In a few days, let's take time to go to Polygram to find Manager Zheng and talk about the new album!" ”

Li Xuan wants Xu Xizhu to have a record, but it's not just two people who can grind their mouths. Xu Xijie's record contract at this time was signed with the famous Polygram Records.

If the Hong Kong film scene at the end of the 60s was dominated by the Shaw Brothers, then the current Hong Kong music scene can be said to be PolyGram's world.

Founded in 1972, Polygram Records was the most famous and largest record label in the world before the 21st century. Although it is headquartered in London, UK, it has offices all over the world. In addition to having branches in Europe and the United States, it has also set up branches in Asia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and other regions.

In Hong Kong alone, its singers are all top first-class stars, such as Teresa Teng, Tam Yonglin, Zhong Zhentao, Xu Yiying and Xu Xijie, and of course, the now unknown Zhang Guorong.

And now the general manager of PolyGram's Hong Kong branch, Zheng Yuhan, Li Xuan will know such a character in later generations, because he is the father of the famous Hong Kong comedy star Zheng Zhongji.

This Mr. Zheng Yuhan is also a talent for playing music, and in the mid-60s he had a relationship with Teddy? Gong Bin organized a "Playboy" band, which became a smash hit, and later became the general manager of Hong Kong's Polygram Records at the age of 24.

In the early Hong Kong market, when only Chinese songs and English songs were sung, he single-handedly asked Xu Yijie to sing Cantonese "Genius and Idiot" and "Ghost Horse Double Star", which successfully launched the market and confidence of Hong Kong people to sing Cantonese songs, and opened the road of modern pop music in Hong Kong.

With the current relationship between Xu Xijie and Zheng Yuhan, as long as Xu Xijie agrees to the album, it is more than half of the success.

Li Xuan was in a good mood, patted Xu Xijie's shoulder and said excitedly: "That's good, I'll go to Qingxia now to talk about the album, you two ......"

"Wait!" Xu Xijie's head suddenly blocked, raised his hand and looked at Li Xuan in surprise and asked, "We have a new album, what are you looking for Lin Qingxia for?" ”

"I have two songs here that are specially sung for girls, I don't think you mind, sam, right?" Li Xuan continued with a trusting expression: "Think about it, the god of song in Hong Kong and the goddess in Taiwan will release an album together, how sensational it is, needless to say, it will definitely be a big hit!" ”

“……”

Xu Xijie was speechless for a while, he actually wanted to say that I minded, but after thinking about it, he couldn't come up with any decent reasons. And his Cantonese albums generally don't have a market in Taiwan, but if Lin Qingxia's songs are added to this album, will he be able to use his strength to open up Taiwan's record market?

This kind of good thing, Xu Xijie didn't have to think that Zheng Yuhan would definitely agree to it when the time came. (To be continued.) )
