Shanghai Mingyue Records is recording a record, which is not a Chinese record, but an English record.

Lin Zixuan and Li Jinhui stood outside and listened, Huang Liushuang's voice was not outstanding, and he barely reached the standard after vocal training.

Anyway, it's not a concert, or a performance at a grand theater, it's enough to just make a movie.

After leaving the United States, Huang Liushuang did not come directly to Shanghai, but went to Guangdong.

Her ancestral home is Taishan, Guangdong, and she has not returned since her grandfather's generation went to the United States to pan for gold, but the correspondence has not been broken, and she still has relatives in her hometown.

It is the proper duty to return to the hometown to worship ancestors and reunite with relatives.

Huang Liushuang's family supported her choice, rather than starring in those immoral movies in Hollywood, it was better to return to China for development.

She spent a month in her hometown in Taishan before rushing to Shanghai, where the two armies were fighting fiercely.

During this time, she learned about the domestic political situation in China and information about the film industry.

Lai's Hong Kong Minxin Film Company, which has a studio in Guangzhou, has produced a large number of short films and documentaries, and is well known in Guangdong and Hong Kong.

But in Huang Liushuang's eyes, this scale is only equivalent to Hollywood's last-tier film companies.

She learned that Li Minwei was planning to move the film company to Shanghai.

Shanghai is the center of Chinese film production, equivalent to Hollywood in the United States, and Lin Zixuan's star film company is equivalent to Hollywood's Paramount, which is a leading enterprise in China's film industry.

This strengthened her determination to defect to Lin Zixuan.

Lin Zixuan arranged for Huang Liushuang to conduct vocal training for a period of time first, practice the songs, and then release the record.

The storyline of The Sound of Music is not complicated. It's not too difficult to shoot, and the focus is on the music.

He's going to make the record first. It is sold to Europe and the United States and other countries, compared to movies that can only be shown in movie theaters. Songs are easier to spread, and in Western homes, gramophones are more common.

Waiting until Westerners accept the song and then promote the movie will surely have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

This made Lin Zixuan realize that recording English records is also a way to make money.

Unfortunately, in later generations, he did not listen to many foreign songs, and only remembered some country songs and movie soundtracks, such as classic tracks such as Carpenter's "Yesterday Repeated" and Celine Dion's "My Heart Is Eternal".

As for Britney and Avril, these are not his cup of tea.

He searched in his mind, and there were only dozens of complete English songs, and there were only a dozen of them suitable for this era. That's enough to record a few English records.

And, every one is guaranteed to be a classic.

So, he discussed with Li Jinhui the plan to create an English golden song, which made Li Jinhui extremely excited.

As a musician, it is a great honor to be able to produce a record that has resounded all over the world, and it is also a breakthrough for China's record industry.

Although it is an English song, it is composed and sung by Chinese, which represents that Chinese music has gone global.

Li Jinhui has great trust in Lin Zixuan, and the set of records "The Sound of Music" has proven Lin Zixuan's talent in writing English songs. The set is divided into three albums, with a total of fifteen songs.

Each one is catchy and is believed to be widely circulated in Western society.

Mingyue Records attaches great importance to the first English-language record to enter the Western society, and it is absolutely excellent in production. And signed sales agreements with various foreign banks in Shanghai.

The only drawback is that Huang Liushuang's singing is not perfect and flawed, after all, she has not been systematically trained.

For this English hits plan. Li Jinhui was a little impatient.

This time, he had to choose a suitable singer. It is also necessary to form a high-level band and attract a group of like-minded musicians to join the group. Strive to fuse Chinese and Western music together to create a classic record.

Lin Zixuan doesn't care about these trivial matters, he is only responsible for providing lyrics and songs.

In later generations, he loved Carpenter's rustic tunes and the Irish Band Mystic Garden.

It's also a pleasure to be able to write these tunes, record them, and listen to them once in a while.

Of course, the most important thing is to be able to earn foreigners' money, and you can use these funds for domestic charity.

He has donated a lot of money these days, and Vientiane Bookstore has to sell books at half price, fighting a price war with the Commercial Press.

Coupled with the impact of the May Day tragedy, the film company stopped for two months, the number of films produced this year has plummeted, and the movie theaters have closed their doors, which is also no profit, compared with last year's revenue, less than half.

Not only Lin Zixuan, but also the businessmen in Shanghai are probably like this.

Workers go on strike, businessmen go on strike, that's what Chinese should do in that kind of emotional situation.

During the general strike, in order to make a living for the hundreds of thousands of workers who had no financial resources, Shanghai businessmen also donated money and materials to solve the worries of the striking workers.

By the end of the year, there had been the latest progress in the negotiations on the May Day massacre.

On December 23, 1925, Fei Xinton, the general director of the Shanghai Public Concession Bureau, sent a letter to Xu Yuan, the foreign affairs negotiator of Jiangsu.

"Most of the judgment of the committee members is not attributable to the arrest of the house, but the chief inspector of the Lao Gate Capture House, Mai Gaoyun, and the head catcher Ai Huosheng have resigned from their posts in the Ministry of Labor. In order to seek an early resolution of the case, the Ministry of Industry Bureau decided to approve it. However, he expressed his gratitude to the two staff members for their past achievements. The Ministry of Industry also wanted to express its regret for the victims of the May Day and presented a cheque of 75,000 yuan as a bereavement fee for the bereavement of the victims' families. ”

The perpetrator of the murder merely resigned and was not held criminally responsible, which made all walks of life in Shanghai extremely dissatisfied.

On December 29, the Beiyang government sent a telegram ordering the Jiangsu negotiators to return the cheque, saying that it would not recognize the result.

At this point, the negotiations on the May Day case, which lasted for half a year, ended with the diplomatic failure of the Beiyang government.

This is the best example of the lack of diplomacy of a weak country.

In particular, after the breakdown of the Shanghai negotiations, the Beiyang government almost lost the right to speak in handling the incident, and how to conclude the case became an internal affair of Western countries.

When Lin Zixuan asked Vientiane Book Company to compile the 1925 yearbook, he focused on the May Day Massacre.

The names of each victim should be written down in detail, and the events and reactions of all parties should be recorded.

This is a painful memory of this country, and although it has passed, it will always be remembered in history.

In the frontispiece of the yearbook, Lin Zixuan wrote four words: "The Year of Awakening".

He believes that "May Fourth" is a year of awakening of intellectuals, and "May Fourth" is a year of awakening of the Chinese people.

However, this negotiation was not a complete failure, and it also won a lot of rights and interests for the Chinese.

For example, negotiations on the appointment of Chinese directors to the public concession and the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau were subsequently launched, opening a precedent for Chinese participation in the management of the public concession.

Although there are Chinese directors in the public board of directors of the French Concession, in the past, Chinese directors were not allowed to participate in board meetings, and had no right to speak or make suggestions, but were only obedient executors.

As a result of this incident, the Board of Directors allowed Chinese directors to attend board meetings.

This shows that the Chinese have a greater say in the concession.

This is related to the awakening and resistance consciousness shown by the Chinese in the Wuthi tragedy, which makes Westerners realize that this is a place for Chinese after all, and they need to listen to the voice of Chinese, otherwise it will bring serious consequences. (To be continued.) )
