028 Who Wrote This Song?
In the morning of the port city, with a little mist in early spring, people began to go to work one after another. Ah Cheng is a night taxi driver, who has been working all night and is a little tired. Now that he's done pulling the last guest to call it a day, the radio in the car comes with the voice of the female announcer he likes.
"Hello listeners. This is the port city traffic station, and it's time to push new songs again. This station has just included the new song "I Like You" provided by Baina Records, please enjoy it. ”
Ah Cheng thinks about it, but I like you. The title of the song is good, so let's listen to it first. When the prelude sounded, Ah Cheng's heart moved, he is also a music lover, and he feels that this song is a little different from other songs.
"The sorrow can't be shaken away, and the depression can't be dispersed. Why is my heart empty......" The song was being sung, and the car arrived at its destination, and the song continued to play.
Ah Cheng turned back to the guest and said, "Sir, you have arrived at the place. ”
The guest in the back seat waved his hand impatiently, and his body was already attached to the seat in the front row, "Don't talk, listen to the song first." Ah Cheng was also happy to do so, and he could also listen quietly for a while.
"Affection has been lost, affection has been lost, but why do I like you. ……”
At this time, the song was also playing on the bus, "The old days were drunk, and I was afraid of chasing you again, but I wanted to see you." ......On the subway, many people on their desks and in private cars are listening to the traffic station, listening to this song, especially young people, and feeling that someone is gently plucking the nerve in their hearts.
A big brother on the road happened to be listening to this song and slapped the table with a "snap". The little brother on the side hurriedly asked, "Brother Biao, did that blind person provoke you again?" I took someone to cut him. ”
Brother Biao was stunned when he heard this, and kicked the little brother over.
"Cut your mother, hit the street." The younger brother looked confused when he saw the eldest brother.
Brother Biao pointed to the radio, "This song is too ...... him" Brother Biao's vocabulary is limited, and he can't describe his mood at the moment.
The traffic desk and Baina's customer service phone number was blown up in an instant.
"Don't say anything, put "I Like You" again right away." This is an urgent call to the bandstand.
"When will the album be released? Hurry up the release. "This is what fans ask about the record company.
"Hurry up and find out, who wrote this song?" The owner of a record company snarled at his men.
……
"I Like You" was only broadcast for one day, and on the same day, it grabbed the fifth place in the Hong Kong City Music Chart, and it seems that it will continue to grow, very rapidly. The boss of Baina Company had a happy face, and issued orders in the office to his subordinates.
"Arrange for a press conference immediately. See how much of the record was made? What? Only 50,000? Add 50,000 tickets immediately. Not enough people? You pig brains? Hurry up and get someone in. His subordinates were also aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say that he had decided to order 50,000 tickets from his boss himself yesterday.
"If there are not enough posters, 10,000 more will be printed immediately."
"In addition, go and invite Brother Chang to my office, and be respectful."
The subordinates didn't understand what the boss meant, "Which Ah Chang?" ”
When the boss heard this, he became angry, "You are a street boy." is Ah Chang who sings "I Like You". The subordinates hurriedly ran away, thinking in their hearts, the boss was still called Chang Tsai and Chang Tsai yesterday, and today it will become Ah Chang, and Chang Tsai is going to be hot.
In the office, the boss said to Chen Yuchang with a pleasant face.
"Ah Chang. Any idea why your song made it to the top five today? ”
Chen Yuchang was confident and proud, "I know, I sing well." ”
The boss looked at him and said with a faint face, "Why didn't the previous songs make the list?" ”
When Chen Yuchang heard this, his face was not good-looking, and he thought that the boss was ridiculing, but when he looked up at the boss, he didn't look like it.
Chen Yuchang is not stupid, and after a little thought, he understood, "It's this good song." At this time, the boss slapped his thigh.
"That's right, it's a good song. There are 5.5 million people in the port city, and the streets are full of people who sing loudly, why are there only so many dozen. ”
This time, Chen Yuchang completely understood what the boss meant, "I can make a platinum record." ”
The boss nodded with great satisfaction, and said, "The company is ready to push you with all its might this time, starting with 100,000 tickets." ”
Chen Yuchang stood up excitedly when he heard this, the records he released in the past were always tepid, and the album circulation never exceeded one platinum. This starter is double platinum, and I am happy, "Thank you boss, thank you boss." ”
"Don't rush to thank me, in fact, you have also generated profits for the company." 100,000 is 3 million, maybe more than 100,000? Thinking of this, the boss was also very excited.
Chen Yuchang stabilized his mind, "What does the boss want me to do?" ”
"Find that songwriter, and it's better to get him to join the company. At the very least, make sure he writes songs for you. ”
Hearing the boss say this, Chen Yuchang's face showed embarrassment, "This song was provided by one of my fans, and the person who wrote the song was in the mainland." I don't know the situation over there, but I've heard it's quite messy. ”
The boss stood up at this time and walked around the house, thinking to himself: The mainland is no better than the port city, and there are more rules over there. If it's here, you can't talk about throwing money, and you'll be tied up directly.
The boss thought for a moment and said, "Then send a reliable person." I heard that there was a poor person over there, so I smashed him with money until I knocked him unconscious. Does the company still care about this money? ”
"Okay, boss. I'll do it. Chang Ge believes that the boss's way is a bit simple and crude, but it is very effective.
In the office of the general manager of a record company, the general manager sat there with a dull face. There was a melodious singing voice next to the radio, and it was "I Like You". At the request of many listeners, the traffic station is scrolling, which shows how popular this song is now.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and when a person came in, Mr. Liao asked directly, "How is the news?" ”
"Mr. Liao, that matter is very confidential, and only a few high-level executives know about Baina." Seeing that Mr. Liao's face was not good, the person who came said again.
"But I got a piece of news from someone close to them."
Mr. Liao replied in a deep voice, "Say." ”
"I heard that the song was written by a songwriter in the mainland, and Ah Chang contacted it."
"Mainlanders?" Mr. Liao closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said categorically,
"Send additional manpower to follow Ah Chang 24 hours a day, including the people he sees." He didn't believe that the song was so popular that Ah Chang wouldn't contact the songwriter, he was gambling.
"Yes." The man turned and left. Mr. Liao sighed: The mainland produces talents.
The day after the song was released in Port City, news about the song "I Just Like You" appeared in the headlines of several major newspapers.
Hong Kong City Daily. "As soon as the dark horse came out, it ranked fifth. I just like that you have passed the interpretation of a second-tier singer, and it is about to become a classic. ”
Entertainment Morning Post. "A new star is rising. Chen Yuchang is only a second-tier singer in Baina Company, and after this song, he is about to squeeze into the first-line ranks. ”
New Evening News. "Platinum Records are coming out soon. See how popular it is to like your song. It is foreseeable that another platinum record will be released to the world. ”
Compared with other newspapers and periodicals in Hong Kong City, several music newspapers are much more professional. Music Review. "It's an excellent piece with great lyrics and music. Singing through Chen Yuchang's slightly melancholy, magnetic voice. The true feelings of an amorous man, such as contradictions, loss, and self-reflection, are clearly recorded in a beautiful melody. ”
"Pop Music". "The arrangement of this work adds a large number of folk music instruments to the pop songs, which makes people feel the unique national style."
Several major TV stations in Hong Kong City, TVB, Asia Television, and Jiayi TV have all made reports.
After press conferences, record posters, radio and television broadcasts, the album "I Like You" finally went on sale. There was a long queue at the entrance of each record sales store, and there was a long queue at the entrance of each specialty store. As soon as the doors opened, people flocked in. Directly ask if you like your song, just take the disc, stuff the money and leave.
It didn't take long for the stores to call and ask the record distribution department to restock. The director of distribution was also a little confused, "I prepared 20,000 copies today, and they were sold out so quickly?" ”
