At the end of June, after returning from Berlin, Germany, Li Yange completely entered a state of retreat, going back and forth between home and the school's rehearsal room every day, and the company's affairs were handed over to Liang Leshu.

In Cannes last month, Leung Lek Sook took the lead from Li Yange's Cannes Technology Award and reached a cooperation with a local French company called Erato Records, which will release Li Yange's first album. Because the name "Yan Ge" is difficult to translate in French, it was renamed "Scenery of Hometown".

Founded in 1953 by a group of like-minded members of the Paris Conservatoire, Erato Records was founded with the original mission of promoting French music and deliberately highlighting French chamber music productions.

It's just that with the development of the times, the rise of rock and pop music in the world, and the gradual decline of chamber music works, Erato Records had to cooperate with foreign music companies in order to survive, trying to release some pop songs or excellent foreign music works.

He has signed recordings with many well-known artists and orchestras around the world, such as singers Carrera and Qula...... Performers Andre, Rompar...... London Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de la Romande, etc.

Regarding Li Yange's album record this time, Erato Records intends to focus on the oriental Chinese music style, hoping to see if it can arouse the love of domestic music fans.

Because of the mature album work, Erato Records stepped up the printing of 30,000 copies, and began to advertise it on French television, radio and newspapers.

"Welcome to "Voice of France", and the recommended repertoire is "The Original Scenery of Hometown" by Li, an outstanding composer and performer from China."

"When I first heard this song, it reminded me of every dead of night, when I lay in bed, I always thought of my childhood hometown; By the stream in my hometown in spring, flocks of sheep are stepping on the grass by the stream, bleating and whispering......"

After the host magnetically broadcasts a word, he also signals the director to switch songs.

Soon, a song that seemed to come from a distant homeland resounded through the streets and alleys of France.

In the crew of "Tears of the Sedan Caran", Jiang Wen was teaching a French girl Chinese, and when she suddenly heard a familiar track, she looked around in shock, and finally noticed that French director Jacques Doffman was listening there with a radio.

Jiang Wen leaned over and listened carefully, and suddenly smiled, he didn't expect Li Yange's song to be played in France.

"Jiang, have you heard this song?" Jacques Dolphman asked curiously when he saw Ginger Tattoo coming.

After the translator on the side came over and said it, Jiang Wen nodded with a smile and said, "Of course I heard it, the author of this music is a good friend of mine!" ”

"Yes, just now the radio anchor said that this song was written by you Chinese! Can you help me get a signature? I love this song so much, it reminds me of my childhood life on the farm in my hometown, and I'm going to buy an album to listen to it in a few days. ”

Jiang Wen agreed without hesitation: "No problem, when the crew returns to China after filming, I will ask him for an autograph." ”

"Great!" Jacques Doffmann smiled happily.

It is often said that music knows no borders, and there is some truth to this sentence, because it can relate common human emotions, such as love, family affection, ......

And the pure music work "The Original Scenery of Hometown" expresses the slightest longing for hometown, and even the sad atmosphere of childhood that cannot be returned, which makes many French listeners feel the same way.

France is not only romantic, but also countless nostalgia, since the World War II because of the defeat of the war, resulting in many French civilians displaced and homeless, for decades, many people have long been far from their homeland.

Therefore, when the radio music program "Voice of France" broadcast Li Yange's song "The Original Scenery of Hometown", it gradually aroused the longing of those elderly French people for their hometown.

In early July, Erato Records officially released the album "Scenery of Hometown" nationwide, and sales continued to climb, from 3,000 copies in the first three days to 30,000 copies in mid-July, and the 30,000 copies produced were sold out.

Seeing this, Erato Records stepped up to produce another 50,000 albums, and sold them out in early August. This made Erato Records very happy, but it was also urgent to ask the factory to produce another 50,000 copies.

With the surge in sales, the name Li Yange gradually gained a certain popularity in France. Not counting the 1964 resumption of diplomatic relations between China and France, a record of "Jasmine" about Chinese folk songs released for diplomatic purposes, this can be regarded as the first album released in France in Chinese mainland and a big hit.

The ambassadors of the consulate in France reported the matter to China.

When domestic newspapers reported this incident, the name Li Yange appeared in people's field of vision again.

……

……

Beijing.

Asian Games Preparatory Committee Group.

After a group member saw the three big characters "Li Yange" in the newspaper, he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's amazing, this Li Yange is on the newspaper again." ”

"Li Yange? Is that the young man who won the Academy Award? When the colleague on the side heard the words, he looked up and asked.

The man nodded, "Yes, it's him." ”

Another asked, "Did he win another prize?" ”

"That's not it, the newspaper said that Li Yange's album "Scenery of Hometown" sold 100,000 copies in France, which caused a scramble in the French media, and it is said that even the newly appointed French Prime Minister Rocard praised the song in private."

"Really?"

Hearing even the prime minister praise this song, several colleagues in the office showed a look of surprise.

"I don't know, that's what the newspapers say."

The man spread out the newspaper and pointed to the above paragraph, and everyone gathered around to take a look, and there was really such a sentence.

Someone who understood pondered for a moment and said, "It's normal, haven't you heard recently that France is not going to cooperate with us?" I guess I just happened to know that Li Yange was us Chinese, and he deliberately wanted to sell it well. ”

Hearing this, the crowd looked at him in astonishment.

Suddenly, the team leader pushed open the door of the office and walked in, and when he saw everyone chatting around, he frowned and said, "What are you doing?" Isn't there anything to do, chatting here? Do you want me to reassign you a little more work? ”

"No, it's not."

Everyone instantly scattered back to their respective positions in a panic.

Team leader Cheng Jun frowned and asked, "How is the recent fundraising?" ”

"The people in the fundraising department are docking every day, and now the enthusiasm of the domestic masses for donations is very high, but there is still a large part of the gap." A member of the fundraiser stood up and said.

"Alas......"

Hearing this, Cheng Jun had a headache, the financial department has allocated 700 million yuan to the Asian Games in the past two years, plus the local finance has raised nearly 1.9 billion yuan, but there is still a funding gap of nearly 600 million yuan, although last year Vice Mayor Zhang called on the people of the whole country to donate money for the Asian Games, but one after another, only tens of millions of funds were raised.

You know, there are only two short years left before the opening of the 1990 Beijing Asian Games!
