Chapter 40: Conquer Xiangjiang!

China's first group semi-final is on January 3, and they will spend New Year's Day in Hong Kong this year.

TVB invited the Chinese team to be guests at their New Year's party on New Year's Day in advance, and revealed that there would be big red envelopes that night.

This time, the sports department quickly agreed to the invitation and allowed the Chinese team to collectively be guests at TVB's New Year's party, but half of the red envelopes had to be handed over.

After TVB saw that the Chinese team agreed, he immediately kicked his nose in the face.

They hope that Wu Jie can interact on stage at the party, mainly because they want him to perform some football skills, such as a cool fancy juggling ball.

TVB will also arrange for several of its big names to be his supporters, so that everyone can get a lot of exposure, and the effect of the program will not be bad.

But they didn't expect Wu Jie to refuse in one bite, because he was going to perform a male solo at the party!

This made TVB's assistant director very confused, and Wu Jie didn't say much, and invited his assistant director to sing a short Chinese version of "Glorious Years" that had been copied long ago.

He really has no interest in "debut", which is not "really fragrant", the main thing is that it won't take too much time for him to make some music, and he can just copy it!

But the effect is not trivial, because in this era, most of the fans of Asian football are men, and there are very few real female fans.

Although he has an outstanding appearance, he has an advantage in figure compared with those top actors, and he has no advantage in pure appearance compared with Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau, or earlier Zheng Shaoqiu, Dillon, and Jiang David.

But it's a different story when he adds "music", a combination that allows him to convert countless female fans who have never watched a football game into his own.

These female fans are not only huge, but once he successfully converts them, they are even more fanatical than male fans, and they are extremely loyal and inclusive.

At that time, his fans and fan base will inevitably grow to an incredible extent, and his influence will be incredible!

If it were placed in a country like the United States, he would not say that he would run for president, but there would certainly be no problem in electing a governor.

In addition, there is another benefit, if Luda can also make music together (80% of NBA stars have released albums), the two of them are enough to influence many things, such as changing the impression and attitude of many Hong Kong people and even Taiwanese towards the mainland.

He still remembers that after the NBA happened, some fans in China were very embarrassed, but this huge influence was what he wanted to achieve.

So after the Asian Cup, he would always deliberately flip through the books in front of people during his breaks, and he would play the guitar he bought from Hong Kong a few times.

This is to give the impression that he really loves learning and loves music, so as not to suddenly write a few songs to make people suspicious.

But in fact, he just taught himself the basic music theory knowledge through the offline Internet, so that he could read music.

Wu Jie is glad that he and Luda both have good voices, and both of them have very good innate timbre.

He had a good voice in his previous life, and he was always pressed to the ground and rubbed because of his physical talent, but as soon as he arrived at KTV, he was able to punch hard.

And music is a thing that depends on talent, as long as the innate timbre is good, there is a good voice that God appreciates food, and there is no problem in listening, then after practicing for a year and a half, you can find a million awesome tuners to release an album.

Wu Jie's "Glorious Years" sung in front of TVB's assistant director is the Chinese version, of course, there is a gap between singing skills and professional singers, but there is the experience of KTV Maiba in the previous life, plus a good voice, at least in the amateur, it is much better than those voice card Internet celebrities in the previous life.

The key is that this song is very good, in this era, even the Japanese music scene has not entered a period of rapid development, and the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scenes, which have always copied Japanese red songs, are even worse.

As soon as his song "Glorious Years" came out, the assistant director of TVB didn't believe that it was a song written by a football player at all.

But the facts are in front of you, this song is so beautiful in melody, and the lyrics are even more inspirational and touching, and the climax can not only ignite people's fighting spirit, but also awaken a trace of blood cooled by reality.

The assistant director hurriedly recorded Wu Jie's song and showed it to the chief director, who also couldn't believe that it was a song written by Wu Jie, and ordered the show on the spot after getting it confirmed.

So Wu Jie got the opportunity to sing alone at the TVB New Year's party, and his first pot of gold should be this as expected.

This song will not only make him popular in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia, but also give him the opportunity to release a single record, which is not a small amount if it sells well.

On the evening of December 31, TVB held a New Year's party.

Wu Jie deliberately spent half an hour combing a natural and full oil hair (refer to Tony Leung) and put on a Chinese men's dress tailored to a master in Beijing (refer to Jet Li), such a dress matched his delicate three-dimensional facial features, as well as a pair of melancholy big eyes, as soon as he entered the camera, he sucked in the souls of countless Hong Kong young ladies.

This Chinese men's wear is a new Qipai men's wear launched in 2019 that he searched from offline Baidu, the overall design is full of Chinese elements, and the finishing touch of the Chinese stand-up collar reveals a unique spirit of Chinese clothing culture, which is definitely a new trend across the times in 1981.

After Wu Jie appeared in this epoch-making Chinese stand-up collar, he immediately attracted the attention of the audience, especially the audience in front of the TV, because this Chinese men's clothing is so different, especially in front of a group of Hong Kong stars wearing suits, he seems to stand out from the crowd.

But the most important thing in this outfit is to highlight a "handsome" and "type" word, Wu Mingzhong's figure makes this unique Chinese stand-up collar appear more perfect, and successfully shapes the uncommon resolute temperament of Chinese clothing, but under closer inspection, there is a gentleman's demeanor that does not go with the world and stands proudly in the adversity of life.

Of course, these are only superficial appearances, and Wu Jie quickly proved that he was a first-class artist with a plagiarized Chinese version of "Glory Years".

I say this because a foreigner who hates China said: third-rate artists imitate, first-class artists plagiarize, so he wants to plagiarize fiercely.

The people of Hong Kong originally thought that he was on the show to perform football-related talents, but they didn't expect that the lights dimmed immediately after Wu Jie took the stage, and a group of newly debuted TVB female artists rushed up behind him, ready to start dancing for him.

Wu Jie was complaining in his heart, he thought Hong Kong people had a problem with their heads? It's sick!

He is obviously an affectionate and inspirational song, and the rhythm is also a soothing type of vicissitudes.

TVB is looking for a group of new artists who are dressed hot and exposed, and then have a very good dancing level, what are they dancing behind him?

But I'm sorry, the Hong Kong party is this urine, no matter what song you are, even if you sing mournful music, I have to get you a group of hot backup dancers to jump and jump in the back, and they dance very poorly, this is traditional art!

Wu Jie took the guitar handed over by Wang Mingquan at this time, and was ready to start his performance.

Hong Kong citizens were even more surprised when they saw this picture, isn't he a football star? Why do you still want to sing? Are you sure it's not playing the piano randomly?

However, when Wu Jie opened his voice, everyone's first reaction was "amazing", and then "good"!

This is not to say that Wu Jie's singing skills are awesome, there are still Luo Wen and Lin Zixiang sitting in the audience.

The main reason is that as soon as the beautiful melody of "Glorious Years" came out, the eyes of the audience in 1981 lit up, and their ears were firmly held in an instant!

This effect is not surprising, this song can be popular in Japan in the 90s, and getting Hong Kong in 1981 must be a dimensionality reduction blow!

Although Wu Jie's singing skills are only amateur level, his vocal cords are extremely elastic, with a delicate and shiny timbre, both explosive and penetrating, and good toughness and magnetism.

The most important thing is that the quality of the song itself is too high, both the melody and lyrics are rare classics.

Wu Jie was able to sing this song with emotion again, and at this time, as the song entered the climax, the singers on the scene all looked at each other, with shocks and unbelievable expressions on their faces!

But not only did they find it hard to believe that this was a song composed and sung by a football player, but even the members of the Chinese team who were sitting in the audience at the party were all staring at each other!

"I heard you right, Wu Dashao still has this hand?"

"I really didn't expect that!"

"I mean, don't you see him playing guitar all the time?"

"That's right, he bought a piano last time!"

"You don't want to think about it, outside of our training, we are playing cards and mahjong, but Wu Jie is watching and writing songs on the sidelines!"

“……”

Wu Jie's previous pretense really worked, he didn't have to pretend to be himself, and these teammates could explain to the public for him afterwards: why he played well and had such a high musical attainment.

At this time, the Hong Kong audience in front of the TV did not care so much, they had long been attracted by Wu Jie's beautiful voice, especially this good-to-hear Chinese song.

When Wu Jie finished singing all the five-minute songs, the scene immediately sounded a call of "sing again" and "again"!

"That's a beautiful idea!"

Of course, Wu Jie won't sing it again, whoever wants to listen to it will spend money to buy a record.

Everyone saw that he didn't plan to sing it again, and then there was a burst of long-lasting applause, and the stars in the front row all stood up to cheer for him!

Wu Jie could see that the young Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung were applauding loudly, and Luo Wen and Lin Zixiang next to him also stood up and applauded vigorously.

True fan Alan Tam even wore his jersey and rushed to the stage with excitement on his face and stretched out his arm to shake his hand.

Of course, Wu Jie didn't fulfill the simple wish of classmate Tan, he just waved his hand to the audience, very cold and big!

At this time, the lights on the stage were turned on again, and the hosts He Shouxin and Wang Mingquan walked next to Wu Jie in admiration and started the big sycophancy.

This song "Glorious Years" naturally became the focus of their conversation, and at this time, Wang Mingquan, who was quite beautiful, said: "Wu Jie, we all know that you are a genius on the football field, but we didn't expect you to be a talented singer." This song really makes people feel that their hearts have been hit hard, and even I, a girl who doesn't watch football, can feel a kind of persistence and struggle for my dreams. But I still want to ask, is this song really written and composed by you? ”

Wu Jie didn't blink his eyelids, and said categorically: "This is a song I wrote after the Asian Cup. ”

"Oh, I don't know where your inspiration came from, can you tell us?" He Shouxin immediately asked.

"After the Asian Cup, I was a big fighter, and everyone knew me when I walked down the street. But I found that everyone only cares about my success, and they only ask me what I want to do after success, and no one wants to know how I got successful. No one cares about my efforts before I succeed! ”

Wu Jie sighed when he said this, and perfectly adjusted his posture to aim at the camera, so that he could join the camera more, and then continued his performance.

"But I know very well that there is a lot of blood and sweat before success, and behind every glorious achievement there will be a period of loneliness and pain, that is a silent time. But I think this is the real glory days, and that's where the song's name comes from. What I want to convey is not the glory of a person's success, but your persistence and struggle for your dreams when no one cares. ”

After Wu Jie said these prepared words, the scene naturally had a long-lasting "pop papa" applause!
