Chapter 48: Taipei XIII

"How many people love the style you left on the screen

How many people love your legacy of independence

Your eternal innocence, the expectation of a child, the helplessness of self-appreciation......"

Shen Chong pushed open the door and saw Zhang Aijia standing in front of the window, holding a piece of paper in his hand, chanting softly

"You wrote this?" Zhang Aijia heard the voice, saw that it was him, raised the piece of paper in his hand, and asked with a surprised smile: "Is it the song that was written for me yesterday?" ”

"I wrote it when I was in Hong Kong." Shen Chong walked over, cut off her thoughts mercilessly, and said with a smile: "And it's not for you to sing." ”

"It's very well written." Zhang Aijia hugged his neck and said coquettishly: "Why don't you sing it to me?" ”

"Because you can't sing." Shen Chong grabbed her waist and said, "This is for Cai Qin." ”

"Cai Qin?" Zhang Aijia leaned on him softly and said, "Cai Qin who sang "Out of the Stopper"? ”

"That's right. This is what I prepared for the Academy Awards, and I plan to ask her to sing before the award for Best Actress. ”

"Eccentric" Zhang Aijia made a grievance and said: "I can also sing, why don't you invite me?" ”

"You sing like a Coke." Shen Chong took the piece of paper with lyrics and music written on it from her hand and said, "Cai Qin sings like a glass of alcohol, who will drink Coke on a formal occasion?" ”

"Am I that bad?"

"I didn't say you were bad." Shen Chong explained with a smile: "It's just that the style is different, your voice is clear and pure, and has a comforting taste, which is suitable for singing in a low voice when three or five friends get together, and is not suitable for performing in public." ”

"Well, count on you to speak." Zhang Aijia is a pop song that has not become famous at this time, and she also knows that she is not a professional singer, so she no longer entangles and says: "What is the name of this song?" ”

"It was originally called 'Love Letter to Filmmakers.'" Shen Chong flicked the piece of paper and said, "But I want to change the name again, a name that is more suitable for female stars, and I haven't thought about it yet." ”

""Love Letter to Filmmakers" ......" Zhang Aijia read two sentences, snatched the piece of paper again, read the lyrics for a while, and said: "This name is very good, and the lyrics do not explicitly say that they are about female stars." ”

"I got a Best Actor, a Best Actress, a Best Film, and an Academy Award theme song." Shen Chong said with some confusion: "So it's best to distinguish between the titles of the songs, "Love Letter to Filmmakers" is too broad. ”

Zhang Aijia stood up straight, looked at him with bright eyes, and asked, "You wrote four songs?" ”

"Only three were written." Shen Chong pretended to be light, and said with a smile: "There is one I plan to cover with an old song." ”

"What about the three songs?"

"Except for this, it's all in Cantonese, so I didn't bring it."

"You villain" Zhang Aijia pursed her lips, glared at him, and said: "Do things always hide and tuck, will you die if you take it out once?" ”

"Okay, okay." Shen Chong loved her angry expression, surrendered, hugged her and kissed her, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the recording studio now, and I'll write it to you in a while, okay?" ”

"Are you done talking to your grandfather?"

"We're done." Shen Chong picked up the suit and blouse she spread on the bed, put it on and said, "I'll just say soon, you see, it's just past ten o'clock." ”

Zhang Aijia looked in the mirror, combed her hair, and asked, "You said that there is a cover of an old song, which song is it?" ”

"When You See the Stars in the Sky."

"Why haven't I heard this song? Who sang it? ”

"Mary Zhang." Shen Chong sat at the head of the bed and said: "Sister Hong Kong in 1975, the day before I came to Taipei, on the monthly number, I married Bruce Lee's brother, Dr. Li Zhongchen of the Hong Kong Observatory, and there was news in the newspaper. ”

"It turned out to be her." Zhang Aijia cleaned up, stood up, and said, "I've seen it, I didn't expect her to sing, when did she sing this song?" ”

"In 1976, the theme song of the TV series "Star" on Jiayi TV." Shen Chong opened the door, walked out with her, and said as he walked: "She sings very ordinarily, not famous, but this song was written and composed by Huang Zhan, and it is very well written, I like it very much, Uncle Zhan has promised to give me the copyright." ”

"Uncle Zhan is really generous, if it were me, I would definitely slaughter you for 180,000." Zhang Aijia walked down the stairs, said hello to Aunt Rong, who was busy in the living room, and said: "This song is sung before Best Actor."

"Yes."

"Then you're going to ask a male singer to sing, right? Rowan or Guan Zhengjie? ”

"It's not decided yet." Shen Chong took the first step, pushed open the courtyard door, and said, "I want to try young people, such as Leslie Cheung." ”

"The one of Leigh's TV?"

Shen Chong snorted, opened the co-pilot's door, and invited her in to sit down before saying, "I think whether it is singing or acting, he is very talented, and his talent is also high, which is very worthy of training." ”

"Look at your old-fashioned look." Zhang Aijia waited for him to get into the car and said, "You are younger than him, right?" ”

"I'm a young man, and I'm mentally old." Shen Chong laughed and moved the car and said, "Otherwise, how could you always look like a little woman in front of me." ”

Zhang Aijia was stunned when she heard this, indeed, she was a few years older than Shen Chong, every time she was in front of him, she was like a little girl, she didn't have the feeling of sister and brother love at all, not only her, but the people around her, if they didn't pay attention deliberately, seemed to ignore Shen Chong's age of just over twenty intentionally or unintentionally.

After the car drove out of the villa area, Shen Chong asked, "How do I get to the Ambassador Hotel from here?" ”

"What are you going to do there?"

"Take two people to the studio together."

"Who?"

"Teresa Teng." Shen Chong stopped at the fork in the road and said, "There is also a Japanese, Tau ImurautuJI, Shinji Tanimura. ”

Zhang Aijia pointed to one of the roads, then automatically ignored Tanimura Shinji and asked, "What are you looking for Teresa Teng?" ”

"Ask her to sing the theme song of the Academy Awards."

"Your film award uses Japanese songs as the theme song?" Zhang Aijia was suspicious and said, "You want to take the opportunity to get close to Teresa Teng, right?" ”

"Don't eat flying vinegar." Shen Chong couldn't help but laugh and said: "Teresa Teng is a contracted singer of Polygram, Polygram is my company, you say, do I need to borrow the Japanese to build a bridge to get close to her?" ”

"You just gave her 2 million Hong Kong dollars a few days ago, and everyone in the city is saying that you want to chase her." Zhang Aijia glanced at him and said, "I don't believe that you don't have a ghost in your heart." ”

"Don't mess around with idioms, I'm pure." Shen Chongyi said solemnly: "She is my singer, she has been humiliated, I don't get back to the field, how can I take my little brother in the future, who will see me in the future and bow down." ”

"Full of nonsense, where are you a businessman, get rid of the bandits in the Water Margin cottage." Zhang Aijia asked with a smile: "Then what are you looking for a Japanese to do?" ”

"Ask him to be a music producer." Shen Chong Zhengse said: "The current level of the music industry of the Japanese is much higher than that of Hong Kong and Taiwan, I asked him to arrange the music for the theme song of the Academy Awards, you are an expert, you should know that the lyrics and music are just the skeleton, whether it is good or not, the key depends on the arrangement." ”

"That's right." Zhang Aijia agreed with him, motioned for him to change lanes, and then asked: "This Japanese Gu Cun has a very high level?" ”

"It's Shinji Tanimura." Shen Chong corrected her voice and said: "A very powerful person, especially the theme song of the Academy Awards, he is the best arranger." ”

"Why?"

Because I plagiarized his song, Shen Chong complained in his heart, but said: "Because I created it with him." ”

"When did you meet him?"

"After New Year's Day, I stayed in Japan for more than ten days and got to know each other." After Shen Chong finished speaking, he added: "He was writing a song for Yamaguchi Baihui at the time." ”

The song that Shen Chong chose as the theme song of the Academy Awards is the immortal masterpiece of Shinji Tanimura - "Star".

In 2o1o, Shen Chong was in Shanghai, by chance, got a ticket for the opening ceremony of the World Expo, at the opening ceremony, Tanimura Shinji sang "Star" live, he listened to it, he liked it very much, after going back, he checked on the Internet, only to find that he was lonely and unheard, this is a classic that has been sung for 30 years.

Born in Osaka in 1948, Shinji Tanimura wrote more than 3oo songs, performed more than 60 albums, and held more than 3ouu concerts before Shen Chong crossed.

He has a very good impression of China, at the beginning of the reform and opening up, he came to China to participate in music exchange activities, and had a great influence on China's pop music at that time, and many singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan are friends, and has organized and participated in friendly music performances between China and Japan many times, O3 years, he held a "Concert to Support China to Fight P" in Osaka, and donated all the 15.34 million yen raised to the Red Cross Society of China, O4 years, and also served as a professor at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.

Tanimura Shinji is most well-known to Chinese for two songs, one is the theme song "Wind Flower Biography" sung for the cartoon "Three Kingdoms" in 19, and the other is "Star" in 19Ru, inspired by the night starry sky of Heilongjiang in his fantasy.

As soon as "Star" was launched, it immediately became a sensation in the Asian music scene, not only in Japan, but also extremely popular in China, Teresa Teng, Luo Wen, Alan Tam, Guan Zhengjie, Xu Xiaofeng, Feng Feifei, Han Baoyi, Gao Shengmei, Jiang Yuheng, Cheng Lin, Mao Ning, Liu Xijun and other singers of different eras have covered this song in Cantonese or Chinese.

In 19Ru, Shinji Tanimura participated in the Japanese annual song award "Red and White Song Party", and when he sang the song "Star", the ratings broke through unprecedentedly, and since then, he has participated in the Red and White Song Festival for 15 consecutive years, becoming the most representative veteran singer.

Shen Chong only knew that Tanimura Shinji was composed in 19Ru "Star", but he didn't know the specific time, so when he was in Japan, he went to visit him, and after chatting, he knew that he had a prototype, but it was not yet completed, so he took out his plagiarized guitar sheet with a shy face, discussed with him, and determined the final melody in a few days.

Among all the Chinese cover versions of "Star", Teresa Teng's version sung in 19 is the most outstanding, which can be said to be not inferior to Tanimura Shinji's own singing, and Zheng Guojiang's Chinese lyrics are also very in line with Shen Chong's mood and ideas, so he took it and changed a few words as the theme song of the Academy Awards.

Note: Shinji Tanimura's "Star" was released in April 19Ru, but the date of creation is unknown, so it is difficult to plagiarize.
