Chapter 88: Nature's Calling
Gu Chen said again about the incident of meeting a master on the street of New York to teach qigong, in this regard, He Chaoqiong's first reaction was that Gu Chen was lying to him, although she had heard that there was such a thing as 'qigong' in China, but she had always thought it was a lie, the reason is very simple, qigong has no scientific basis, that is to say, she is more inclined to materialism, and everything is based on science.
However, there are too many things and things that cannot be explained by science in the world, just like the "meridians" and "acupoints" in traditional Chinese medicine, even the most advanced medical instruments can not find out where the so-called "meridians" and "acupoints" are, but it really exists in everyone's body, and the traditional Chinese medicine techniques and theories such as acupuncture and massage derived from this are even more well-known in the world.
"Did you feel a heat current rising from your lower abdomen last night, and then slowly disappearing after your body rotates in a regular circle?" Gu Chen asked about the feeling that Shi Yali described to him, and he didn't know if this feeling was unique to Shi Yali, or if other women would also have it.
He Chaoqiong tilted his head and thought for a while, before he said hesitantly: "It seems that there is, I'm not very sure, who made you so crazy last night, a hard toss, how can people have the heart to pay attention to other things." Also, there was a meeting this morning, but now it can't be held. ”
Gu Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, and when he was excited and happy, he shouted 'I want', 'hurry up', and 'use some more force', and as soon as he was done, he immediately turned his face and didn't recognize anyone. I saw that he suddenly turned over and pressed He Chaoqiong under him, and said with an evil smile: "Since we are not sure, then we will test it on the spot." ”
……
After returning to Hong Kong, Gu Chen recorded a light music album, which included a total of 12 pure music songs, including piano, flute, saxophone, violin, etc., including very famous songs in his previous life, from the Swiss music group Bandari's "First Snow", "Moonlight", "Early Morning" and so on. Because some of the instruments involved are not particularly good at him, before starting to record, he specially hired master experts, and spent two weeks to study, although the time is not long, but the effect is very significant, and the super learning ability makes the professor's experts have to say a 'service'. After that, the official recording only took a week, plus post-production, this album did not count his time for further study, and it took less than half a month to go on the market.
The main reason for such a short time is that there is no need to shoot the MV, only CDs and tapes are released, which greatly shortens the burning time. In addition, compared with his first two albums, the publicity intensity of this album is relatively small, and he did not even appear at the album conference.
However, this is not destined to be an ordinary album, composing its own light music pieces, playing them (lead music, and other accompaniment), and almost every piece uses a different instrument. Prior to this, no singer in Hong Kong had released such a light music album.
Through this album, everyone once again recognized Gu Chen's unparalleled talent. Of course, the main thing is that the quality of the album is impeccable, and everyone who hears the music on the album is attracted by the ethereal, beautiful melody that seems to come from nature.
Therefore, the album caused quite a stir as soon as it was released, and its sales were also rising, which almost caught Tang Dynasty Records, which was not expected by the market, off guard. In the first week, the sales volume in Hong Kong alone reached more than 140,000 copies, almost breaking the three platinums, many insiders were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped, after all, this is not an album in the general sense, it is incredible that a light music album has achieved such results in a week, in addition to the quality of the album itself, the only explanation is Gu Chen's popularity, and fans are willing to buy Gu Chen's account.
Tang Dynasty Records also quickly promoted to one of the giants of the Hong Kong record industry through Gu Chen's light music album called "Nature Calls" and the album of Zhou Comin and the four of them.
Although most of these self-recommended singers are some speculators, under Gu Chen's instructions, the company still signed several very potential singers, some of these singers are newcomers, such as the Beyond band led by Xu Zhian and Huang Jiaju, and some are poached from other record companies, such as Lin Yilian and Taiwan's Li Zongsheng, of course, there are also those who have jumped over, such as Zhang Guorong.
Among these people, Gu Chen has a soft spot for the Beyond band, as soon as he signed the contract, the recording of the new album entered the countdown, and he personally 'created' three songs on the first album of the Beyond band, namely "Earth", "Sea and Sky" and "Glorious Years".
He even claimed in public that Beyond would become Asia's premier rock band, which was not too high, and immediately made Beyond the focus of Hong Kong's entertainment media without even a formal album (in 1984, a Hong Kong record label gathered some underground bands to record a record called "Hong Kong", which included two original songs by Beyond).
That night, Gu Chen left from the set of "A Chinese Ghost Story", and just wanted to go back to the apartment, but when he passed near the Tang Dynasty Record Company, he saw Zhou Comin waiting for the car at the intersection, he immediately pulled over the car, parked the car in front of Zhou Comin, rolled down the window and asked, "Why hasn't Minhui returned so late?" ”
Zhou Comemin was still strange when he saw a BMW sports car parked in front of him, but when he saw that it was Gu Chen, he hurriedly said: "Practicing in the singing room, I didn't pay attention to the time for a while, and it was so late." ”
"It's not safe for you to take a ride back by yourself at such a late hour, get in the car, if I'm not mistaken, your place is not far from the company, I'll send you back by the way."
After speaking, Gu Chen didn't give Zhou Comin the slightest chance to refuse, got out of the car and bypassed the front of the car, opened the door of the passenger seat, and Zhou Comin had no choice but to say: Then there will be less trouble, and then he sat in the car.
The sports car was speeding on the road again, and Gu Chen said while driving: "I have heard in the company that you practice singing and practicing late almost every day, which is not good, you must know that everything is fast, and proper practice is necessary, but if you do it too much, it may cause your hearing fatigue, and it may also hurt your throat." And now that society is so chaotic, it's not safe to go home so late every day. ”
The first time he was alone with Gu Chen, Zhou Comin felt that his heartbeat was obviously much faster than usual, and at this time, after listening to Gu Chen's words that seemed to be concerned, he didn't know how to answer, and hesitated for a while before he said in a cramped and uneasy voice: "It's not so late every day." ”
Gu Chen looked back at Zhou Comin, but the light in the car was dim, and he couldn't see Zhou Comin's expression clearly, so he could only judge the other party's emotions from his voice: "You should be hungry by now after practicing songs, hehe, the main thing is that I'm hungry, why don't you accompany me to have supper first." ”
Really calculated, Zhou Comin and Gu Chen are not familiar with each other, the two have never been alone outside the company before, at most it is the relationship between the boss and subordinates, so although she does not reject the feeling of getting along with Gu Chen, it can even be said that she is a little happy and excited, but she doesn't want Gu Chen to think that she is a frivolous woman, so when Gu Chen proposed to eat supper, her first reaction was to refuse, but Gu Chen said that he was hungry, which really made her refuse somehow, and finally nodded her head and made a nasal sound of 'um'.
Half an hour later, the sports car stopped in front of a tea restaurant called Zhou Ji, this tea restaurant is open 24 hours, the key is to have a private room, which is famous in Hong Kong, Gu Chen used to frequent, so the family of the light car asked the waiter to open a private room......
It was already past 11 o'clock after eating supper, and Gu Chen sent Zhou Comin to the downstairs of the apartment rented by the latter and left. The first thing he did when he returned to the apartment was to turn on the TV and change it several times in a row, until there was a football match on the TV, and when he looked closely, it was the final of Argentina vs West Germany.
