Chapter 234: Departure for Japan
Xu Ruhai saw that Han Jin and Ah Mei were not interested in taking over the business of the club, so he couldn't help but feel a little excited, and after staying for a hot pot meal, he went home in a huff. ===
"Ah Jin, you really don't plan to take over the throne of Dad's dragon head? That's a big business involving hundreds of millions, right? After Xu Ruhai left, Sister Mei asked Han Jin suspiciously.
"No matter how much you make, it's all ill-gotten gains." Han Jin waved his hand and smiled, "I'm making money now doing the right thing and making money, why bother to wade into that muddy water?" ”
"It's true, you make more money as a star than their bigwigs." Sister Mei nodded and smiled.
"Okay, let's stop talking about these disappointments. I'm going to Japan for the Tokyo Music Festival in two days, and I'll be there for a while longer, so I won't be able to stay with you in Hong Kong anymore. Han Jin smiled and said, "You have to be obedient in Hong Kong, and you are not allowed to discharge electricity with men casually." ”
"Humph! You have to be obedient yourself, there are so many beautiful women in Japan, and the atmosphere is so open, what kind of Kabukicho, mixed bathing for men and women, etc., you should be careful to be fascinated by them. Sister Mei gave him a strange look and said.
"Haha, there is Sister Mei, what about your big beauty, the so-called once the sea was difficult to water, except that Wushan is not a cloud, I don't take a lazy review of the flowers, those women can still enter my eyes?" Han Jin said with a smile.
"Humph! Flim tongue~" Sister Mei snorted, but she was very proud in her heart.
"Okay, lady, ** bitter short, let's rest early." Han Jin smiled again, "I don't know how long it will take to come back." Before I leave, I'm going to have to feed you. ”
"Bad guy~" Sister Mei snorted shyly, and hugged Han Jin with her backhand.
……
On April 2, Chen Shuxuan took Han Jin, Zhang Guorong, and Mei Yanfang on a plane to Japan to participate in the Tokyo Music Festival. On the same plane as them, there are also singers such as Xu Guanjie, Tam Yilin, and Lin Zixiang, who are also from Hong Kong.
Before boarding, all major media in Hong Kong came to see off the plane, just like the villagers who sent their children to the battlefield. Han Jin also said on behalf of the singers, saying that he must strive to achieve good results and live up to the expectations of all Hong Kong citizens. For a while, it received a wave of applause.
The Tokyo Music Festival was founded in 1972. It is divided into two categories: the Asian Conference and the World Congress. Among them, the Asian conference is similar to a concert, and most of the Asian singers perform on stage. The World Congress, on the other hand, is contested by singers from all over the world, and unlike the Asian Congress, the World Congress awards multiple awards. Like a big prize. Gold. More than a dozen awards such as silver, bronze, and best singing awards.
Xu Guanjie, Mei Yanfang, Lin Zixiang and others are going to participate in the Asian conference this time. And Han Jin is the only singer who represents Hong Kong to participate in the World Congress, which is indeed a very high honor for him, and has high hopes from Hong Kong citizens.
This is a great opportunity for Han Jin to become famous, and last year Mei Yanfang won an unprecedented two awards at the Tokyo Music Festival, only to become famous in Hong Kong in one fell swoop, and established the status of a quasi-first-line singer in the music scene today.
Because they were all in business class, several singers from Hong Kong sat next to each other, and Han Jin also met Xu Guanjie, Tan Yilin and Lin Zixiang for the first time.
Their names have long been like thunder, and they have been friends with them for a long time, and they just hate not seeing each other, so they just take this opportunity to socialize with each other.
"Ah Jin, a famous name, it's really terrifying." Xu Guanjie, who has an easy-going temperament, couldn't help but smile when he saw Han Jin, "I've heard all your songs, and the writing is really good." Not only Cantonese songs, but also English songs are just as good. The Hong Kong music scene should have more singers like you. ”
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Xu, you are really awarded, you are the pioneer of Hong Kong Cantonese songs, we are all your juniors." Han Jin said with a smile.
He was telling the truth. Before Xu Guanjie, Cantonese songs were only listened to by the lower riba, with a low style and vulgar taste, like Deng Jichen, Zheng Junmian and others sang "Fei Ge Fell into the Pit".
After Hui Guanjie, Cantonese songs won the love and popularity of Hong Kong's middle class, and gradually formed a trend, so that Hong Kong finally had its own local pop music. His merits can be said to be unprecedented, and he can be called a figure like his grandfather.
Although Han Jin is in the limelight now, he is a little impetuous. Unlike Hui Guanjie, who has debuted for many years, not only in the field of music, but also in the field of movies, the "Best Partner" series is currently the highest-grossing film in Hong Kong.
"Ah Jin, thank you for recommending Ah B to sing the theme song of "The Frog Prince" last time~" Alan Tam said with a smile, because of Chen Baixiang's relationship, he had a good impression of Han Jin.
"You're welcome, it's just that I couldn't let Mr. Zhong really sing in the end, which made me feel very sorry for him." Han Jin waved his hand and said apologetically.
"That's not to blame you, you don't have to worry about it." Alan Tam smiled and said, "That incident can be regarded as Ah B's bad luck, so good that he was hacked like that." ”
"I've dealt with Ah B before, and I know that he shouldn't be the kind of Meng Lang." Xu Guanjie also said, "How is it, is there an eyebrow now?" ”
"Although I know that it was forged, I still can't find out who is behind the scenes." Tan Yilin waved his hand and said, "Besides, the bad influence has been caused now, and it is not very easy for Ah B to return to the music scene and continue to exhibit." ”
"Aaron, why bother, with Ah Jin, a creative genius, here, why don't you ask him to write a song for Ah B?" Xu Guanjie said with a smile.
Tan Yilin also smiled, "Yes, Ah Sam, what you reminded me of is that I just don't know that Ah Jinfang is inconvenient?" ”
"The senior asked, naturally I didn't dare to refuse......" Han Jin said with a smile, and as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but give himself a look when he saw Chen Shupu sitting on the side.
Han Jin smiled awkwardly and did not continue to speak.
Tan Yilin and Xu Guanjie are also smart people, knowing that with a manager by their side, it is not easy to talk about this matter, so they can't help but stop talking about it, but chatting casually.
is different from the easy-going Xu Guanjie and Tan Yilin, Lin Zixiang is much more low-key. I've been doing it and reading English magazines.
Han Jin knows that Lin Zixiang is known as "Song Yin", although his singing skills are first-class in Hong Kong, but because of his low-key personality and not good hype, he has always been in a state where he is not a popular singer.
obviously debuted in the 70s, but the limelight has been covered by Xu Guanjie, Luo Wen, Guan Zhengjie, etc.; In the 80s, the older generation of singers continued to abdicate, and the Hong Kong music scene entered the era of Tan and Zhang's hegemony.
Early nineties. Tan Zhang's hegemony gradually came to an end. Hong Kong has entered the era of the Four Heavenly Kings. Although Lin Zixiang also has songs such as "Choice" and "Friendship Lasts Forever" on the RTHK Chinese Song Dragon and Tiger List, he has not won awards such as the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs of the Year and the Top Ten Golden Songs of the Year.
Only in '94 did he win the Golden Needle Award, which represents the highest honor in the Hong Kong music scene, which is similar to the Lifetime Achievement Award. After getting it, it is basically equivalent to a glorious retirement. He also declared that his own time is gone.
……
It took almost four hours to sit on the plane. Finally, I finally came to Japan.
"Let's tidy up our appearance, there may be a reporter at the pick-up gate later. Everyone is a singer representing Hong Kong, so don't be ashamed. Chen Shuxuan reminded with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they began to check. After a few moments, the plane began to descend slowly, and finally stopped at Tokyo International Airport.
Mei Yanfang, Xu Guanjie, Tan Xuanlin, etc. have all been here many times, so they all seem familiar and calm.
Although Han Jin came to Japan for the first time, he didn't look cramped at all, he didn't look around, and he screamed, as if Grandma Liu was visiting the Grand View Garden.
After the customs clearance, people from the Tokyo Music Festival organizers were waiting at the pick-up gate, accompanied by reporters from NHK TV to interview the artists who came to the festival.
As soon as the Hong Kong delegation came out of the pick-up gate, they were immediately greeted aside.
Xu Guanjie, Tan Yilin, and Mei Yanfang are all well-known singers in Japan, especially Xu Guanjie, who is the most popular. Hui's ghost horse comedy is popular in Japan and has set a very high box office record.
Although Han Jin and Zhang Guorong are well-known in Hong Kong, they have not really opened up their popularity in Japan at the moment, so they were quite cold during the interview, and finally they were arranged to ask a question. However, Han Jin's fluent Japanese still startled the reporter and left a very deep impression on her.
After a brief interview at the airport, the group drove to the hotel, which was specially prepared by the organizers of the Tokyo Music Festival for singers from all over the world.
"Huh?" Han Jin opened the newspaper and couldn't help but be taken aback and asked.
"Ah Jin, do you know how to read Japanese newspapers?" Zhang Guorong asked in surprise.
"Hehe, I can understand a little." Han Jin smiled.
"That's right, we at the Tokyo Music Festival have spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in order to expand our influence. , promised to be our guest performer. One of the festival's staff members said excitedly.
"Wow, it seems that this Tokyo Music Festival is really a real music event." Mei Yanfang also said in surprise.
"TH Day 11er" was a sell-out, topping the US album chart for 37 consecutive weeks, and all nine songs and seven lines of singles on the album hit the top-1o, setting a record at the time.
And the always demanding Grammy Awards also praised the album, winning seven awards out of twelve nominations. Counting the award won for another work, it is the highest award won by an individual in a single year! The limelight is unparalleled.
The album was also a bestseller in Japan, staying on the album sales chart for 65 weeks. That is, a year later, it is still on the best-selling list, which shows the popularity of this album.
With such a big-name superstar on board, this year's Tokyo Music Festival is indeed star-studded. And being able to perform on the same stage with such a big-name superstar is naturally an honor for the singer.
"Ah Jin, the Tokyo Music Festival will be officially held the day after tomorrow, why don't we wait and go out for a while? It's been a long time since I've been to Japan, and I really want to go shopping. Mei Yanfang invited with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Sister Mei, I'm going to do styling later, and I'm going to Sony Records to record at night, I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you for the time being." Why don't you ask Leslie to accompany you? Han Jin said with a smile.
"She wants you to translate for her, and she can bargain for her when she goes back shopping. I don't know Japanese, so I went shopping with her, didn't I wait to get lost. Zhang Guorong said with a smile.
When Mei Yanfang heard this, she couldn't help but smile embarrassedly.
"Ah Jin, the stylist has already booked, let's go first." After settling down, Chen Shuxuan said to Han Jin, "Amei, Leslie, you are not familiar with the path of life in Japan, so don't go out and wander around first, lest it be more troublesome to get lost and meet bad people."
