Before, Li Lecheng turned the three songs into soup and food, and handed them over to Zhang Guorong, which was his most popular song in the next three years.

Although Xu Guanjie is the nominal brother in the music world, he is no longer young after all, and he always has to face someone to take over his class. In other words, the only real opponent in front of him is Tan Yonglin.

How can Tan Yonglin be so easy to deal with? Recently, after filming, I will start preparing for a new album, and I plan to release an album in both the island country and Hong Kong Island at the end of the year, play in the Chinese-speaking area, and open the source. Zhang Guorong only became popular last year, and he actually challenged him directly, and he now has a very strong sense of crisis, knowing that it is a critical period to determine his advantage. Although he knows that in island countries, Chinese singers are rarely successful, and so far Ouyang Feifei and Teresa Teng have really entered the market, but after all, his movies can be sold in island countries and have a reputation overseas, so he can naturally consolidate and improve his coffee position.

He doesn't want to go head-to-head with Zhang Guorong, he will release a new album in December, and Zhang Guorong will be next year. After all, it's such a big market, head-to-head, both lose-lose, everyone has to make a lot of money less, of course, you cut a knife, I cut a knife, and it's more cost-effective to take turns.

Li Lecheng asked Zhang Guorong to gather three years of firepower into a special explosion, but he didn't intend to let him really rely on this battle to win Tan Yonglin once and for all, the more fierce the competition, the more fierce the roll, the faster the market expansion.

And why bother staring at the Cantonese market? Why can't it be a little more diverse? Since Tan Yonglin has discovered that it is not wise to only fight for Cantonese, they naturally have to follow suit.

Taking advantage of his free time, Li Lecheng recorded several important songs from Zhou Huajian's debut album that had been prepared for a long time in the Shaw Brothers recording studio.

Fang Yihua said that it was not a joke to completely open up the resources of the Shaw Brothers to him, and he really didn't treat him as an outsider. There are two recording studios in the Shaw Brothers studio. Originally, it was used for dubbing, soundtrack, and dubbing sound effects, but now it is not very useful anyway, leaving one for future drama production, and the other is directly allocated to Li Lecheng. This is very convenient for Li Lecheng, and it doesn't cost money, so he asked Zhou Huajian, who had been preparing for a long time, to come here to record while he was free.

Zhou Huajian's debut album, and finally set an album with 10 songs, "Friend" is the title song of the album of the same name, and "Friend" written by Kotozawa Hiroaki, this song was originally expected to appear in Tan Yonglin's new album in December, but it has long been cut off by Li Lecheng.

This has to start from the earlier conversation with Ming Cai.

The cause is the overall OST development of "I'm Sorry, I Love You".

Li Lecheng doesn't want to make an OST for the series, it is enough for him to release a theme song, otherwise the price will drop.

He quit, and Mingcai's record companies Island Warner and Huaxing competed to eat this cake.

In fact, singing OST for serials, both in the past and in the future, is very cheap in all of Asia, and it is almost for nothing. Even in the era before Li Lecheng's rebirth, if the record company or an individual contributed songs to the series, the island country would give 100,000 yen for the theme song, and tens of thousands for the interlude. But things can't be seen that way, just like the previous announcement, although the drama uses your song as an OST and only gives a little usage fee, but when it is broadcast as an OST, it is a free advertisement, and the value of this advertisement is between tens of millions and hundreds of millions of yen.

If the copyright owner of the song is not a record company, but the music hired by the drama party, then the singer and musician usually get a one-time remuneration, and all the income from the released music products will go to the drama party, which is even more pitiful.

The salary of TV dramas in island countries has always been low, but it is just better than Hong Kong Island, Fang Yihua is a Ming Cai who is compared to the salary of ordinary TV dramas in island countries, and he, as the most popular singer in the island country, will completely vacate a one-and-a-half-month schedule to play "I'm Sorry, I Love You", which is very cost-effective from a short-term economic point of view.

Yanyin, as a brokerage company, is looking at the long-term benefits comprehensively, and naturally hopes that she will come, after all, it is a top drama resource in Asia, but in this way, the record company she signed Warner will suffer a loss, isn't it fragrant to sing in this schedule? So Warner must strive to make the copyrighted songs they hold become the OST of the series, and they also have to eat the dividends of Ming Cai to act. and said that Fang Yihua didn't need to pay them the usage fee, anyway, that money was just a meaning.

However, Huaxing is the same boss as Shaw Brothers after all, and in order to get this OST business from Shaw Brothers, Warner the island country played the lineup card, and let Kotozawa Hiroaki, who once wrote "Girl A" for Akina, be responsible for this matter, and take care of the soundtrack of the series, and Shaw Brothers does not need to spend a penny. Kotozawa Guangming is very good at eating in all of Asia, and he is better than sows with high yields, and many of Tan Yonglin's songs such as "Love Trap" are in collaboration with him, and his best works are actually supplied to Sunstar, how can Li Xiaotian, a Sinicized artist, beat him. Not surprisingly, this cake was also taken by the island nation Warner.

In order to show his sincerity, and also because the show has a musician who is bigger than him, Li Lecheng, so in addition to tailor-made songs, he also took out a bunch of inventory that he thought fits the repertoire for Zhao Zhengqiang and Li Lecheng to choose, and Li Lecheng found a song that had just been written and had not yet written the lyrics, that is, the "Friend" that Kotozawa Guangming would give to Tan Yonglin in the future.

Even if Qin Ze Guangming only charged him 5,000 yuan of Hong Kong paper according to the Hong Kong Island standard in order to repay Li Lecheng for giving him the opportunity, Li Le's cost didn't plan to ask him to come over this song, but at that time he had already planned to make Zhou Huajian's song an instant hit was also called "Friend", Tan Yonglin will release the film in December, which is very close to Zhou Huajian's release time, and the publicity period will definitely overlap, even if Li Le is confident that Zhou Huajian's "Friend" is more popular than Tan Yonglin's "Friend", but a newcomer who has no foundation, Principal Tan at the peak of his career, Zhou Huajian has no fame and publicity advantages, and he will inevitably be covered, and when others hear that "Friends" is very popular, they will buy Tan Yonglin. For this reason, Li Lecheng had to strike first, after all, there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy.

Anyway, in Tan Yonglin's next new album, "Friend" is not the title song, the title song is the album's eponymous "Storm Girl Lorelei".

Guoyue's two "Friends", plus a previously written "Passionate Can't Be Opened", among the songs written by Zhou Huajian himself, Li Lecheng could only pick out 2 Chinese songs that were qualified, so he only made up 5 songs.

Li Lecheng had no way, and made up three more songs: the first "Unnamed" is a Cantonese song written in the late 90s in his last life, and he sang it to Eason in his last life, Eason was created by him, he arranged eighty percent of his masterpieces, but this song is not suitable for Eason, it was not sung that year, it is considered a missing pearl, the second is the Chinese "Island Song", the third Chinese "Tears Glitter", by the way, the last two songs were also made into Japanese.

That's exactly ten songs.

Zhou Huajian's singing voice and voice characteristics make him more suitable for island style singing and folk songs than most island singers and folk singers.

Zhou Huajian didn't know Japanese, but he still relied on rote memorization to memorize the pronunciation, and practiced the Japanese version of these two songs to perfection before recording.

Due to the relatively adequate preparations, the progress of the recording is also very gratifying, but Li Lecheng refuses to accompany him to grind, most of the time, he just comes over to supervise the work from time to time and puts forward adjustment requirements.

Li Lecheng is actually quite clear, Zhou Huajian's debut disc, 10 songs, 5 Chinese, 3 Cantonese, and 2 Chinese, at first glance seems to be too scattered, in fact, most of the songs in this disc, just a single song can make a super golden song that sells to the explosion. Li Le became a breath for Zhou Huajian to open the entire Asian market, after all, Zhou Huajian's attribute is actually quite rare: a native Cantonese Hong Kong person, mainly focusing on Chinese songs, the most suitable style for him is retro island style and national style martial arts songs.

The golden age of island songs and folk songs was the 6 and 70s, and into the 80s, this kind of song was gradually regarded as a form of music full of historical age, with few innovations, although now they are not as popular as before, but there is still a large market, and it has not become an outdated thing, which is suitable for Zhou Huajian to enter the market. He may even be able to reach the channel of mature audiences in the island country more than Teresa Teng. After the 80s, there is no such window, no matter how good he sings, he doesn't want to enter the mainstream market of the island country, this is the last opportunity.

If this album can be as successful as expected, then it may have to rewrite the pattern of Hong Kong Island, and even the Chinese music scene, and in the future, Hong Kong Island will not be a competition for hegemony in the Cantonese-speaking area, but a matter of who is the real king of Asian music. In this way, who dares to say that he is not playing at every turn, say goodbye to the music world, the battlefield is very big!
