Where is the future Queen of Sweet Songs now?

Yang Yuying is going through hardships and dangers, fighting her way out of the encirclement from the huge tide of migrant workers in the Spring Festival, and has just arrived in Guangzhou. What about the state.

The Spring Festival has always been a headache for the transportation department, and in 1991, the Ministry of Civil Affairs also had a headache.

Since the opening up, more and more peasants have poured into the cities, bringing about a series of public security and administrative problems. The wave of migrant workers peaked two years ago, with many railway lines across the country being paralyzed after the Chinese New Year, and law and order in some major cities deteriorating dramatically.

Many peasants have been unable to find work or even a place to stay when they move to the cities. They don't have much money with them, and if they want to survive, they have only two options, one is to go to crime, and the other is to become beggars and vagabonds.

No matter which one you choose, it is enough for the relevant management departments of the city to have a headache.

As a result, when the tide of migrant workers broke out again during the Spring Festival last year, the Central Ministry of Civil Affairs directly issued a document asking all localities to block and persuade the "blind flow" to return.

The so-called blind flow refers to the blind flow of peasants and disaster victims into the cities.

Yang Yuying became a blind stream this time, and she didn't have time to sit on the trip to Guangzhou. The state train was blocked by the local police at the station. I waited for more than a week, and it was not until the Spring Festival passenger flow decreased that Yang Yuying followed the teacher to Guangzhou. State.

At this moment, Yang Yuying was standing in Guang. On the streets of the state, she was surrounded by a beautiful woman in her 30s.

"Sister, what should I do?" Yang Yuying looked at the woman pleadingly.

The woman's name was Shao Yufen, and she used to be Jiang. Singer of the Western Province Song and Dance Troupe. is also Shao Yufen's former teacher and senior. Just last year, Shao Yufen resolutely resigned from the work of the Provincial Song and Dance Troupe and came to Guangzhou with a letter of introduction from the leader of the troupe. State. I want to join a new era audio-visual company.

Yang Yuying had just been admitted to the Provincial Song and Dance Troupe for less than a year, and when she heard that the teacher was going to a big city, she came out with her as soon as her mind was hot.

New Era Audio-Visual Company is a subsidiary of Canton. The state and city propaganda departments are, to put it bluntly, private companies with the signboards of the propaganda departments. But the problem is that the equity of the company has never been distinguished, whether it is public, private or public-private partnership, it is not clear at all. Even if the shares are very clear, but after you get bigger. There are also people who will make it unclear.

When Shao Yufen took Yang Yuying to find the New Era Company last year, their noble Chen Ke had already been poached by Ye Zipei. Two provincial singers who are not very famous, if they don't meet Bole. There is no chance of signing into a record company.

Fortunately, Shao Yufen has a letter of introduction from an acquaintance, and she and Yang Yuying's singing skills are good, and the New Era Audio-Visual Company still signed them. It's just that things don't go as smoothly as they imagined. Not only is it impossible to release records for them. There are very few opportunities to make a small amount of money even by covering foreign songs.

Since she had no regular income, Shao Yufen had no choice but to take her student Yang Yuying to run the field, and later sang in a song and dance hall, earning hundreds of yuan a month.

Although she failed to become a singer, her monthly income of a few hundred yuan is still quite satisfactory to Yang Yuying. So after going home for the Chinese New Year, Yang Yuying immediately followed Shao Yufen to Guangzhou. State. Who would have thought that the door of the dance hall where they were stationed was closed, and I heard that there was a bloody incident during the Spring Festival. When the police came to investigate the case, they found that the dance hall had no formal license at all. Closed as a matter of course.

Shao Yufen looked at the locked door, and she sighed: "I can only go to other dance halls to see." ”

Yang Yuying followed Shao Yufen to the roadside station, and couldn't help but say: "Sister, it's not a way to sing in the dance hall all the time, I don't dare to tell my family about this." ”

Shao Yufen frowned and comforted: "There will always be a way." ”

In this year, in the eyes of most people, the dance hall is a place where filth and filth and hooligans gather. And the provincial song and dance troupe where they worked before was extremely glamorous.

quit their jobs in the provincial song and dance troupe and went to the sea to sing in the dance hall, if this kind of thing was known by former colleagues and family members, they would not have the face to go back.

Yang Yuying said pessimistically: "What can be done? The female singer who is now highly praised by the company is Zhou Bingqian, and the remaining resources have also been divided among several other singers. It's our turn to release the record, and we don't know when it will be. ”

Zhou Bingqian is the only singer among the contracted singers of the New Era Audio-Visual Company to sell more than one million records, and more than 100,000 boxes of erhu pure music tapes released this year have been sold.

Shao Yufen was also very pessimistic about her future, and she suddenly said to Yang Yuying: "Why don't we go to Xiongfei Records to try?" ”

Yang Yuying bit her lower lip and said: "There are so many powerful singers in Xiongfei Records, I'm afraid we have no hope." ”

"It's decided," Shao Yufen made up her mind, "I won't go to the dance hall to perform today, just pack up and dress up, and try my luck at Xiongfei Records." ”

Shao Yufen took Yang Yuying to a hair salon, spent a lot of money to perm her fashionable hairstyle, and then went back to the rental house to change into decent clothes, and then set off to Xiongfei Records.

As soon as the two women entered the company, they were stopped by the front desk and asked, "Two young ladies, what is the matter with you?" ”

Yang Yuying was young after all, and she stood nervously behind Shao Yufen and didn't know how to speak.

Shao Yufen was much more generous, she smiled and said, "Hello, we used to be Jiang. Singers of the Western Province Song and Dance Troupe, I hope to join your company. ”

The front desk obviously encountered this kind of thing often, and smiled and pointed to the corridor in front of him and said, "You two can go to the artist department to try." ”

"Thank you!" Shao Yufen was stunned for a moment, she originally prepared a tirade to persuade the other party, but she didn't expect the front desk of Xiongfei Records to be so easy to talk to.

When they came to the reception room of the artist department, they were greeted by the company's recording engineer. The recording engineer didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Sing a song that you are best at, no matter what style you have." ”

"A cappella?" Shao Yufen asked.

The recording engineer asked funny, "Do you want me to have the microphone and speaker brought to you?" ”

"Hehe, no need," Shao Yufen hurriedly said, "I'll sing Teresa Teng's "The Moon Represents My Heart". Hmm, ahem. You ask me how much I love you, how much I love you......"

When Shao Yufen started singing, the recording engineer closed his eyes and listened. Wait until she finishes singing the whole song. The recording engineer opened his eyes and said: "Your singing skills are very skillful, I believe you are from the provincial song and dance troupe, I can't find any major loopholes in my singing skills, only a few small flaws appear." ”

Shao Yufen was excited when she heard the sound recorder's evaluation, but the smile on her face quickly froze.

"But," the sound recorder's tone took a sudden turn. "You're singing this one with no emotion, it's too mechanical, and there's nothing special about your timbre. Singers like you. To be honest, I've seen a lot, and it's hard to have a good development in the music scene. ”

After the sound engineer finished speaking, he stood up and walked out, after listening to a song "The Moon Represents My Heart". I have no interest in listening to Yang Yuying sing anymore.

Yang Yuying was stunned for a moment. Then he said to Shao Yufen, who was in a state of trance: "Sister, why did he go?" I haven't started singing yet. ”

Shao Yufen came back to her senses and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, let's go." ”

"No, it's all here, I'm unwilling to try it if I don't sing a song." After Yang Yuying finished speaking, she chased outside.

……

……

Seeing that Kang Jianfei seemed to be very interested in Mao Ning, Ye Zipei asked someone to call Mao Ling to the company after lunch.

"The promotion of the Little Tigers in the mainland. Be sure to find the right opportunity. For example, large-scale events such as the Spring Festival Gala, or after a catastrophic event. To arrange for them to come to the mainland for charity performances, they must open up their popularity as soon as possible. In the conference room, Kang Jianfei said to the manager in charge of market distribution.

The manager said: "Please rest assured that we will make a complete marketing plan soon." ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Everyone is still doing a good job in the market. However, in terms of the selection and training of singers, should we also be active, instead of waiting for singers to recommend themselves, or digging up famous singers. ”

The head of the artist department cautiously asked, "How can you be positive?" ”

Kang Jianfei said: "Singing contest. ”

The director explained: "Mr. Kang, we have also held a singing contest. However, the scope of influence is very small, and the gain is not large, but a lot of money has been invested, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Kang Jianfei asked: "Have you watched the program of Hong Kong Phoenix TV?" ”

"Yes." The manager of the artist section nodded and said that Hong Kong TV programs can be watched in many places in Guangdong/East.

Kang Jianfei asked again: "What about "The Voice of China", have you seen it?" ”

"What does Mr. Kang mean to hold a TV singing contest?" The director of the artist department was puzzled, "But we don't have a TV station in our hands." ”

Kang Jianfei said: "Cooperate with the TV station. ”

The director explained with a wry smile: "Mr. Kang, there are some things in the mainland that are not easy to talk about. Our company is with Guang. It's okay for China East TV to co-organize the TV Singing Contest, but if you want to cooperate with CCTV, things will be complicated, and China Record Corporation may jump out halfway to pick peaches. ”

Kang Jianfei understood that what works in Hong Kong will become different when playing in the mainland. Although Xiongfei Records has the resources of the Ye family, it is managed by the Cultural Bureau and the Propaganda Department, while the China Record Corporation has close ties with the cultural and propaganda units.

If Xiongfei Records cooperates with CCTV and really makes the TV singing contest popular, then China Record Corporation may really come out halfway to pick it up for nothing.

Usually, this kind of meeting is Ye Zipei who presides over the overall situation. Today, she has been quiet and has not spoken, allowing Kang Jianfei to play there, until this moment she spoke: "Let's cooperate with Guangdong/Dong TV first, no company here dares to compete with Xiongfei Records for business." ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "That's it, now Guangdong/Dong is holding a TV singing contest, but the advertisement should be oriented to the whole country, attracting singers from other provinces and cities to sign up." ”

In this era, there are no set-top boxes, and there are not many CCTV channels, so it is difficult for northerners to watch the programs of southern provincial stations. With Guang. Cooperation with China Central Television is the second best option, and it is best to cooperate directly with CCTV, because the people of CCTV can see it all over the country.

It was not a formal meeting at the moment, but Kang Jianfei called the company's management to chat, and everyone sat together to discuss the company's development.

After chatting for more than half an hour, Kang Jianfei announced the dismissal of the meeting.

As soon as the managers and directors of various departments left, Chen Ke directly led Mao Ning into the conference room for him to see.

Mao Ning learned on the phone that it was the boss who wanted to see him, and he stretched out his hands excitedly. Leaned over and greeted: "Mr. Kang is good." ”

"Yes, the appearance is very beautiful." Kang Jianfei nodded with satisfaction.

Chen Ke smiled: "Ah Ning is not only handsome, but also very good at singing. Anin. Sing a song to Mr. Kang. ”

To Kang Jianfei's surprise, Mao Ning actually chose a love song by Wang Jie, and sang it with a unique taste.

Kang Jianfei returned to Guangzhou. The main purpose of the state is that because Li Ningyu got married and had children, Xiongfei Records lost a big pillar. He wants to use his foresight to discover and cultivate one or two powerful singers, and Mao Ling is the first one to enter his eyes.

The previous qiē is all foreshadowing. After Mao Ning finished singing, Kang Jianfei nodded and praised: "Old Chen, you found a good seedling, I suddenly thought of a Chinese song I wrote before." It's perfect for Mao Ling to sing. ”

Ye Zipei glanced at Mao Ning in surprise, Kang Jianfei didn't have many opportunities to write songs in person, she hurriedly patted Mao Ning, who was still in a daze: "Thank you Mr. Kang yet." ”

"Huh?" Mao Ling was reminded by Ye Zipei, and after reacting, he said in ecstasy. "Thank you, Mr. Kang. Thank you, Mr. Kang. ”

Kang Jianfei recalled a little, wrote the lyrics and music of "The Sound of the Waves Remain", and then pretended to say to Chen Ke: "The arrangement of this song will be handled by Lao Chen, I will go back first, don't send it." ”

Chen Ke had been watching Kang Jianfei when he was writing songs, and at this time he saw Kang Jianfei leave with the song score of "The Sound of the Waves Remains". sighed: "Mr. Kang is really talented. ”

Mao Ning leaned over to read the lyrics and asked, "Teacher Chen." Is this song good? ”

Chen Ke glanced at Mao Ling and said, "You kid is lucky." ”

Kang Jianfei pretended to be forced and left, leaving only a dashing back. But as soon as he reached the corner of the hallway, he saw a petite figure rushing towards him and slamming into his arms.

If Kang Jianfei hadn't found out that the other party was a woman earlier, under the conditioned reflex of self-preservation, he would have kicked the other party away.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I bumped into you." Yang Yuying apologized again and again, then turned around and looked left and right, then turned around and asked Kang Jianfei, "May I ask, did you see a person passing by here just now?" ”

"Who are you looking for?" Kang Jianfei didn't recognize who the girl with permed hair in front of him was.

Yang Yuying thought that Kang Jianfei was an employee of Xiongfei Records, and she said: "It's a person from the artist department of your company, and he left before he heard me sing." ”

Ye Zipei next to him asked with a smile: "Little sister, are you a singer who wants to join Xiongfei Records?" ”

Yang Yuying nodded again and again: "Yes, sister, you are also a singer of Xiongfei Company." ”

Ye Zipei thought this girl was very interesting, she laughed and said: "Then you sing a song for me, if you sing well, I will recommend you to the company." ”

"Really? Then I'll sing. Yang Yuying said happily.

Yang Yuying sang rap without any twisting, and what she sang was the famous song "Dream Water Town" written by Kang Jianfei to Li Lingyu

"Spring twilight,

Please accompany me to the water town of my dreams.

Let the waving hand,

Drifting in the mist

……”

After only singing two or three sentences, Kang Jianfei felt that something was wrong. Yang Yuying's voice resolution is so high that as long as someone has heard her sing, it is easy to distinguish this voice.

Putting aside other messy things, purely in terms of singing, Yang Yuying's sweet songs are definitely at the diva level, which can be compared with Wang Fei.

"Dream Water Town", a gentle and fresh Chinese-style song, was sung by Yang Yuying with full sugar content, and just listening to her singing was at risk of diabetes.

As soon as Yang Yuying finished singing, Kang Jianfei immediately asked, "What's your name?" ”

Yang Yuying said: "My real name is Yang Gangli, but now I have a stage name called Yang Yuying. ”

Sure enough, it was Yang Yuying, Kang Jianfei couldn't cry or laugh when she looked at her current outfit: heavy makeup, perms, lipstick, and randomly matched clothes and pants, and she got rid of the style of a hair salon girl ten years later.

Kang Jianfei asked Ye Zipei: "How do you feel?" ”

Ye Zipei tasted it carefully and said: "The timbre is very sweet, sweeter than Li Ningyu." ”

Kang Jianfei pouted and said: "It's just that the image is not up to par, it's too mature, and I have to adjust it." ”

Ye Zipei asked, "What do you have in mind?" ”

Kang Jianfei said: "Didn't Li Ningyu temporarily quit the music scene because she was pregnant? Her status as the queen of sweet songs, there should always be an heir. ”

"Are you going to make her the next queen of sweet songs?" Ye Zipei asked in surprise, she didn't expect Kang Jianfei to be so optimistic about Yang Yuying.

"Don't worry, I have an idea. You wait in the company first," Kang Jianfei turned to Yang Yuying and said, "You come with me." ”

Yang Yuying listened to the conversation between the two, although she didn't understand it, she still heard that the two seemed to be the leaders of the company, and they were ready to praise her as a singer.

Yang Yuying happily followed Kang Jianfei away, but Ye Zipei did not follow. She didn't ask Kang Jianfei what she was going to do with Yang Yuying, and she didn't think Kang Jianfei would have any lust for this little girl - Yang Yuying's dress was too strict.

Shao Yufen caught up and asked Yang Yuying, "Who is this man?" ”

Yang Yuying whispered: "The leader of Xiongfei Company. ”

Shao Yufen said strangely: "Where are you going?" ”

"I don't know." Yang Yuying shook her head and said.

Soon they knew that Kang Jianfei directly led Yang Yuying into a nearby hairdresser and said to the barber: "Straighten her hair." ”

When Yang Yuying heard this, she hurriedly protected her hair and said, "I just permed it today, and it cost a full 10 yuan." ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Then do you want to be a singer, or do you want to keep your curly hair?" ”

Yang Yuying's attitude was immediately correct, and she sat on the chair honestly, tossing whatever the barber wanted. (To be continued......)
