Chapter Twenty-Six: Willingness
Ye Chengkang picked up the pen and wrote "Sunset Song" and "Bad Girl", "Bad Girl" is the song that Mei Yanfang used to transform, and many people remember her through this song.
Mei Yanfang hummed softly with two songs, and Deng Lijun listened to it while playing the beat, and said: "Kang Shao is really a talent, he wrote two good songs in such a short time." "Teresa Teng is appreciative, but Mei Yanfang is a surprise, these two are good songs, she has sung songs for many years, although many of them are covers of other people's songs, but she does not have any masterpieces, these two songs will definitely make people remember her once they are sung.
"Kang Shao, I don't know how to thank you, you make a price, I like both of these songs. Mei Yanfang cherished the two songs.
"Don't talk about money, just make a friend, or I'll sit on the ground and raise the price next time you come to me again. Ye Chengkang didn't think about collecting money now.
"Thank you, Kang Shao. Mei Yanfang said very gratefully.
"Okay, two beauties, it's already nine o'clock, I'll send the two beauties back. Ye Chengkang looked at his watch. Stretched out his hand and beckoned the waiter to settle the bill, and the three of them rushed to pay the bill, and in the end Ye Chengkang rushed to pay, saying that the man who asked the woman to pay the bill was stingy, and the two women had better not let him have a stingy reputation, which made the two beauties angry and laugh.
"I'm still staying at The Peninsula, where does Ame stay?"
"I live in a Happy Valley apartment, which is far away, so I'd better take my own taxi. "Mei Yanfang is still just a little singer, and she doesn't have any economists and cars.
"I have a car, and as a gentleman it is my duty to send the beautiful woman home and wait for me to pick it up. Ye Chengkang picked up his suit, hooked the suit on his shoulder with one hand in his right hand and walked out, and Deng Lijun and Mei Yanfang followed behind him and walked out. The two girls were talking about some singing skills, Mei Yanfang was asking, Deng Lijun was answering, Ye Chengkang took the car out and stopped, opened the car door very gentlemanly and let the two ladies sit in the back row. Mei Yanfang sat in first, and Deng Lijun was just about to sit in, Ye Chengkang put his suit on her, "Liyun, it's cooler at night, wear it." ”
Deng Lijun didn't shirk, smiled and sat in.
"Liyun, let's send Amei back first, and you can accompany me for a ride. Ye Chengkang drove the car into the street, ready to send Mei Yanfang back first.
"Okay, by the way, I have a fan party the night after tomorrow, so you two will be my guests. Teresa Teng said with a smile.
"It's good for Ah Mei to sing a few songs, and I'll just go and listen to the songs. Ye Chengkang didn't object, anyway, there wasn't much activity at night now.
"I haven't heard you sing yet, so you can sing a song you wrote for my fans. It's my request, at most I'll pay you 3% of the proceeds after the release of this Cantonese disc. Teresa Teng said, with anticipation in her voice.
"Your records are selling well, and you're really willing to give me 3% of the proceeds, not from your own hands. Ye Chengkang doesn't know much about the market, but he also knows that as a songwriter, he rarely gets such a high income.
"You don't have to worry about this, just leave it to me. The day after tomorrow, I will sing the song "Song of Qianqianque", and Amei will sing "Song of the Sunset" to see how the response is. You can sing whatever you want. ”
"Well, I'm scared of you. Don't object to me bringing my friends along. Ye Chengkang is not stage frightened.
"No problem, the more the merrier. Teresa Teng was very happy to hear that Ye Chengkang agreed.
"Say yes to me and I'll go. ”
"What requirements?"
"I won't show people my true colors, you can only say that my name is Kang Shao, is it okay for me to wear a mask?" Ye Chengkang thought that he would keep a low profile as a policeman in the future.
"Okay, do you know that you are a wealthy family, are you afraid of becoming famous?" Teng Lijun didn't care.
"This has nothing to do with my background, I have half a month to go to the police force to report, I don't want my peaceful life to be broken, like you, even on the street will be asked to sign and take pictures, how boring, low-key is king. Ye Chengkang drove while explaining, half teasing and half serious.
"This is the price of being famous, but it is only available to a big singer like Sister Lijun, and people like me who want to sign autographs for others may not necessarily ask for it. Mei Yanfang was a little depressed.
"Ah Mei, we Hong Kong people just want to be confident and strong, I miss that sooner or later you will become an international superstar, don't forget that we are friends. Ye Chengkang comforted.
"Yes, Amei, I'm optimistic about you. Teresa Teng also supports Ye Chengkang's view.
"I've arrived at home, thank you very much today, I have time to invite you to a guest, so I won't invite you to go up and sit. Mei Yanfang shook her hand at the two of them. Watching the Bentley drive into the night, Mei Yanfang slowly walked back to her home, she was very glad that she was able to see Teresa Teng and Ye Chengkang today, especially the two songs that Ye Chengkang sent to her can bring her career out of the trough, and she firmly believes that she will succeed. It's just that she is very curious about the relationship between Teresa Teng and Ye Chengkang, Teresa Teng sat in the passenger seat after she got out of the car, and she saw Ye Chengkang intimately buckle the seat belt for Teresa Teng, Teresa Teng didn't care, and kept smiling, but the ages of the two people don't seem to be too right, Teresa Teng's age is not a secret, Ye Chengkang looks about the same age as herself, and the two are at least ** years apart, which seems to be very abrupt in this era. But the affection between two people goes beyond the realm of friends.
"Why do you think about writing that song "Bad Girl", it seems a little too flashy. Teresa Teng asked after Mei Yanfang got out of the car, although she did not deny that the song was a good song, she still appreciated the kind of connotation and subtlety.
"Nowadays, Hong Kong culture has too much cultural exchange with Europe and the United States, and it is mostly flashy, in fact, what Amei needs is change, just like Madonna in the United States, only change can make Amei stand out, which is called change. ”
"It's a set of words. Teresa Teng no longer delved into it. "Thank you for the script you wrote for Qingxia, I'll call her tonight. ”
"It's a trivial matter, your business is my business, I am willing to do anything for you, I will simply sing a rock song the day after tomorrow, and the song name is "Willingly". Ye Chengkang began to talk again.
"Sing it to me first. Teresa Teng is also interested.
"Listen, you and I have met on the long road, cherish the rare fate of the past, silently bless, gently greet, and take care of each other in this life. There is also a dream that you and I have had, may we live forever in this world, snuggle tightly, comfort deeply, and love each other inseparably. How many years have passed, how much time has gone without looking back, but in my heart your warmth to eternity, and you depend on each other for your life forever, for you to pay a lifetime towards the morning and twilight, really love this time, no matter how many mountains and thousands of rivers, and you will always be with you, for you to be willing to pay a lifetime, ups and downs to coexist, accompany you through a journey after a journey, no regrets. Ye Chengkang's voice is clear and transparent, low and deep, and now he sings this song "Willing to Wish" warmly and affectionately, which makes people feel refreshed and happy, and Teresa Teng feels that it is a beautiful enjoyment.
"That's it, that's it. It's a pity that this song is sung by boys, otherwise I would definitely ask to be included in my album. Teresa Teng looked at the man in front of her with confused eyes, she hadn't seen him for more than two months, it seemed that he was more like a person who was covered by the fog, and the more she explored, the more surprised she became.
"It's enough to get your approval, remember to help me prepare a piano, how about you accompany me?"
"No, my piano level is not up to your requirements, at most I will help you get the microphone. ”
"Why don't we join forces, don't let me be alone on stage, I'll have stage fright. Ye Chengkang teased Teresa Teng in a weak voice.
"I won't believe you're going to have stage fright. Teresa Teng gave him a blank look.
Ye Chengkang still sent Teresa Teng to the door of the room, watching her walk into the room with flowers in her arms before leaving, just watching quietly, but thinking in his heart that he didn't accompany Xu Jiayi today, would that delicate but extremely sensitive woman think about herself under the lamp now?
Xu Jiayi is indeed thinking about Ye Chengkang, when Ye Chengkang sent her home, he said that he had an appointment with a friend tonight, she didn't dare to ask whether it was a male friend or a female friend, in just ten days, she seemed to be more and more inseparable from this man who was two years younger than her, she knew that his family was very rich, he said that his family was a bank, she specially looked for a newspaper and so on, the Ye family is one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong, Ye Chengkang is handsome and responsible, and he is her first man, everything is in line with the image of Prince Charming in her dreams, the only thing is that she feels like a Cinderella, and she feels that she is not worthy of him, but if she lets go, she felt a kind of pain in her heart, and the feeling of pain suffocated her, this may be what people call love, she is looking forward to it for a long time.
When Teresa Teng closed the door, she looked at Ye Chengkang, who was frowning slightly, and had mixed feelings in her heart, now that she had begun to pay attention to his every move, looking at him frowning slightly, she had the idea of calming him down. But the age gap made her hesitate, although the two of them seemed to be not much different now, but what about what would she do in ten years?
Teresa Teng put the roses away, picked up the phone and called Lin Qingxia.
"Qingxia, hello. What have you been working on lately?"
"Liyun, "Wise Heroes" has just been completed, I haven't arranged it for the time being, what's the matter, you're back in Hong Kong, or I'll go to Hong Kong to find you, I haven't gone out for a long time. Lin Qingxia said.
"That's right, you come to Hong Kong, I have a very good script in my hand, you can take a look. ”
"Who wrote it, and about what?" Lin Qingxia was also interested, she knew that Teresa Teng was sometimes notoriously picky.
Kang Shao wrote that a retired Taiwanese veteran was a mute, known as a dumb uncle, who made a living by buying empty wine bottles and picking up rags. One winter morning, Uncle Dumb picks up an abandoned baby girl in the alleyway of a high-end residential area and names her Ami. For this, his wife had a conflict with him and left home. The dumb uncle is both a father and a mother, and the father and daughter depend on each other for their lives, struggling in the days of hardship and poverty. In order to make Ami have more fun in life, Uncle Dumb played beautiful music for her while tired. After graduating from high school, Ami worked as a singer in a restaurant. Later, with the help of the young composer Shi Junmai, he improved the artistic level of singing and was praised by the audience. Yu Guangtai, the owner of the entertainment company, lured her to sign a contract to perform in Southeast Asia in order to use Ami to make money. Ami discussed with the dumb uncle, who was very conflicted, he hoped that his daughter would do something, but he was also afraid that his daughter would encounter risks when she was alone. In the end, in order to earn money to help her father get out of poverty and give him some happiness in his old age, Ami agreed to sign a contract. I don't want a contract, but I cut off my freedom. After returning from the performance, Ami has become a popular singer, but she can't help herself and can't meet her elderly father. The dumb uncle was sick in bed because he missed his beloved daughter. On a stormy night, Ami was full of bitterness about not being able to serve her father, and sang her nostalgia on stage. The dying dumb uncle, listening to his daughter's familiar singing voice on the radio, passed away with longing and grief. The story is very touching, I think you can think about it, Kang Shao also wrote the theme song and interlude of the movie, if there is something to do, please donate it all to the veterans in Taiwan. ”
"Okay, I'll come over tomorrow, you help me make an appointment with Kang Shao, I want to thank him in person. ”
"The day after tomorrow, Kang Shao and Mei Yanfang will participate in my fan concert, and he also wrote four Cantonese songs for me, which are really beautiful songs, and the most distressing thing is that there are four more, and I have to arrange a few other songs for Lifeng Records. Teresa Teng said with a bit of coquettishness.
"Lijun, you can be content, the first few songs last time can be called classics, it would be good to have four songs at a time, how about this time and the last four?"
"The level is still the same, and I can't wait to go to the studio to record songs. ”
