Chapter 15: Untitled
"Miss Deng, do you need me to send you?"
"No, I drove myself." Teresa Teng rejected Shen Chong's kindness, and then said, "Mr. Shen, thank you for your hospitality tonight." β
"You're welcome, as it should be." Shen Chong smiled politely, and when the doorman went to pick up the car, he asked, "Miss Deng, where do you live?" β
"I haven't cleaned my house in Hong Kong for a long time, this time at a friend's house." Teresa Teng paused for a while, and then said: "Mr. Shen may know, but this friend of mine is Mrs. Zhou Liang Shuyi. β
"Oh?" Shen Chong's heart moved, and he asked, "You are very familiar with Mrs. Zhou?" β
Teresa Teng hummed lightly and said: "The first time I came to Hong Kong to be on TV, it was arranged by Mrs. Zhou herself, she was working in H at the time, she was very good and took good care of me, every time she came to Hong Kong, she would call me to have dinner together." Does Mr. Shen know her? β
"I've heard of the name for a long time, but I haven't seen it." Shen Chong looked at her delicate face and said, "If I have the opportunity, I would like to ask you to help introduce me, I really want to get to know this legend in the Hong Kong TV circle." β
"Okay, no problem." Teresa Teng's voice agreed softly, and at this time, the doorman parked a silver-gray Mercedes-Benz at the door, she grabbed the corner of her skirt, bowed slightly, thanked her again, and then said goodbye: "Mr. Shen, then I'll go first." β
"Okay, Miss Deng, please go slowly."
After Teresa Teng's Mercedes-Benz blended into the traffic, Shen Chong withdrew his gaze and turned to walk towards his car parked on the corner.
After a year of hard work, all kinds of key paving work, basically done, money, channels, talents are not lacking, the only thing missing now is high-quality content resources, no content, the channel is in the dry riverbed, meaningless.
Content can't be bought, you can only spend a lot of time and money to find top talents to create and perform, and as a generation of legendary superstars, Teresa Teng is undoubtedly the top acting talent, not to be missed.
The "fake passport" incident in 1979 suffered a heavy loss to her in Japan, but because of the loss of the Japanese market, she was forced to return to the Chinese music scene, and released two classic albums "Small Town Story" and "Sweet Honey" in a row, which swept across the Taiwan Strait and three places, and her reputation rose to a higher level, leaving most of the singers of the same era behind.
To use an inappropriate comparison, Teresa Teng in 19du, like Michael Jordan in 1995, has a very brilliant career, but it is not great enough.
Between 96 and 98, Jordan won three consecutive championships and staged the myth of the return of the king, which created the reputation of the greatest basketball star in history, and Teresa Teng did not establish the status of the first singer in the Chinese music scene until "Faint Love" in 1983.
Before "A Touch of Love", her situation was like cooking oil on fire, flowers and brocade, at the moment of prosperity and decline, 19Ru was very critical to Teresa Teng, Hong Kong and Taiwan, after years of opening, have entered the modern urban society, modern pop music represented by Luo Dayou and Alan Tam and others is about to rise, and the folk minor style songs and singing methods represented by Teresa Teng are like Shaw Brothers' indoor set kung fu movies, which can't keep up with the changes of the times, and gradually become a symbol of "outdated and old-fashioned".
In Chen Kexin's classic movie "Sweet Honey", Maggie Cheung borrowed loan sharks to get a bunch of Teresa Teng's albums to set up a stall, but she couldn't sell them, she was very puzzled, in Guangzhou, this is a hot commodity, why can't it be sold in Hong Kong? Liming told her that selling Teresa Teng's album in Hong Kong is equivalent to suing others that you are a big 6 person, and you will be despised.
This plot is a typical example, Teresa Teng in Hong Kong, not unpopular, in 1979 at the 4th Hong Kong Golden Record Awards, she had a big disc won the platinum record award, and another big disc won the gold record award, with sales of more than 10,000, and her songs were sung everywhere on the streets.
It's just that pop music is a product of the times that is more fragile than movies, society has changed, and the music style must also change with it, otherwise it will be outdated, Teresa Teng's popularity in the mainland in the 80s is actually just a copy of her popularity in Taiwan in the 70s - at that time, there was a gap of about ten years between the mainland's economy and urbanization and Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Therefore, she urgently needs to transform, and the "fake passport" incident is actually a very good opportunity to take the opportunity to recuperate, use the time to make the listeners forget the image of the sweet singer, and create conditions for trying a variety of new music styles in the future.
Teresa Teng has a mellow timbre, a wide vocal range, and excellent singing skills, even after decades, she is still admired, but because of the times, her most widely circulated and most well-known songs are "Sweet Honey", "The Moon Represents My Heart", "I Only Care About You" and other slow lyrical songs, which are mistaken for a single song path, which is quite regrettable.
Shen Chong doesn't know much about music, and his voice is rotten, but he remembers a lot of good songs, Chinese and English, Chinese and Cantonese, others have to work hard to grasp the trend, he just needs to plagiarize according to the era, why not take it out, find professionals to arrange and correct it, and push Teresa Teng's singing career to a higher achievement?
Teresa Teng's singing ability and image temperament are the best that can not be found, this is a trump card of cultural communication, of course, it is too utilitarian to think so, but in any case, it is always a good thing to make a generation of singers more perfect.
"Mom." After Shen Chong took Li Kaiyuan to Boston, he changed his name to Aunt Liu, he put down his briefcase and asked, "What about Yuan Yuan?" Still in the company? β
"I'm back early, and she's reading in the study." Aunt Liu looked at him with a smile and asked, "Have you eaten dinner?" There's soup in the kitchen, do you want me to serve you a bowl? β
"No, I just had dinner and my stomach is full." Shen Chong looked at the study room belonging to Uncle Li on the right and asked, "My dad hasn't come back yet?" β
"Called and said I wouldn't be back tonight." Aunt Liu complained: "I said that I want to learn how to cook things from the ghosts from the United States, I am forty or fifty years old, what else can I learn?" He is a toiling life, and he does not know how to enjoy happiness
"Mom, you're not the same." Shen Chong said with a smile: "There is no shortage of money at home, and there is no shortage of people in the store, don't you run to the store early in the morning every day?" β
"I'm different, I earn tens of thousands of dollars a day, can I not watch it myself?" Aunt Liu turned her head to look at him and said, "How much money can he make by learning those seven-trick things?" It's tiring and nerve-wracking to do, how can it be good to enjoy Qingfu at home. β
"People always want to have fun, my dad doesn't like to play mahjong, it's better to go out and do something when he's bored at home, just play time." Shen Chong looked at the TV and flashed a familiar figure and asked, "What kind of TV series is this playing?" β
""Fengyun", just started to be released today, performed by Liu Songren, Feng Baobao, and Huang Xingxiu." Aunt Liu introduced with great interest: "The newspaper introduced that it was about business warfare, so I just took a look and learned a few tricks." β
Shen Chong smiled, he stood next to the sand, and waited for the young man with long hair and big sideburns to appear again, and after confirming his appearance, he asked, "Where is Tianbao?" β
"I'm reviewing my homework, this little girl, I'm crazy during a winter vacation, and I'm only the fifth in this exam." Aunt Liu said hatefully: "I punished her for not being allowed to watch TV for a month"
Shen Chong stuck out his tongue in schadenfreude, and then said, "Mom, look, I'm going to the study." β
"Hmm."
After making a cup of tea and walking into the study, Li Kaiyuan glanced at him and asked, "You came back so early?" Aren't you inviting someone to dinner? β
"I've eaten it. I don't know her very well, I don't have many topics, and I'm embarrassed to stay for a long time. Shen Chong put the cup on the corner of the desk and asked, "What are you looking at?" β
"A book of business management." Li Kaiyuan bit his pencil and said without raising his head: "The company is large, and it is very difficult to manage, and now in a meeting, I have never heard of many words spoken by those people, and if I don't read books, I may be sold one day." β
Shen Chong looked at her frowning, a little distressed, picked up the book, turned to the cover and looked at it, it was "Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practice", and couldn't help but be surprised - this is the father of modern management, Peter Drucker's imperial masterpiece, known as the "Bible" of enterprise management, when he went to work in his previous life, the company boss highly recommended the book.
"I didn't go to college, and I was already struggling to study, so you still came to interrupt." Li Kaiyuan snatched the book and said, "Don't bother me, you go and rest." β
Shen Chong was secretly ashamed, feeling hot-skinned, he relied on the advantage of crossing, impetuous, playing tricks everywhere, paving a boss's stall, but the management belongs to the level of children's play, and its enterprises are basically in a state of herding sheep, and the east and west are not systematic, and I don't know how many loopholes there are, and I don't know how much oil and water has been taken away......
And Li Kaiyuan has been doing the toy business with peace of mind since he started his business, no matter how unreliable Shen Chong's plan is, she always does her best to complete it, and now in Shen Chong's hands, the toy company is not the most profitable, but it is definitely the most stable, and the least likely to go wrong is his solid backstage.
It's time to calm down and do your business
Shen Chong took a deep breath, dragged a chair over, and said, "I'll watch it with you, it's more efficient for two people to learn together than to learn alone." β
"Don't make a fuss." Li Kaiyuan didn't take it seriously and said: "You are from the University of Hong Kong, what else do you not understand." β
"No trouble." Shen Chong grabbed her hand and said, "Yuan Yuan, I've only been in college for one year, and I'm not better than you." In two days, I will go to HKU to see if there is any trainingδΈ¨ course, and we will go to class together. β
"If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place." Li Kaiyuan glared at him and said, "I told you not to drop out, don't drop out, you have to listen, now you regret it." β
Shen Chong laughed twice and said, "I used to learn Chinese, but now I want to learn business administration, which is different." β
