Chapter 57: An Unexpected Surprise Meets Shiying
Hearing the little girl call out her name, Chen Bing was a little surprised. I didn't expect that there would still be people on Hong Kong Island who would recognize me, nodded with a smile, and asked, "Little girl, what is your name, how do you know me?"
The little girl said: "My name is Li Youwei, Sister Chen Bing, you have been popular recently, and you can buy your album on Hong Kong Island, I like you." ”
Chen Bing was obviously very happy, and also praised: "Youwei, you sing very well, work hard, and have the potential to be a professional singer." ”
"Really, can I really be a singer?" Li Youwei was very happy when she heard Chen Bing praise her. After thinking about it, he said: "I sing nonsense, I have a schoolgirl who sings really well, and everyone who has heard her sing thinks so." ”
Hearing her say this, Bai Shuo became interested, this little girl is already very good at singing, as long as she goes through professional guidance, it is no problem to be a professional singer, what kind of school girl will she be like if she can sincerely admire her?
Li Youwei heard that Bai Shuo was interested in her younger sister, so she said happily: "Her name is Deng Shiying, and she won the championship in the school singing competition last year, and I heard that she was also taken by the record company."
Bai Shuo had the impression that there was no such singer on Hong Kong Island, and when he heard Youwei say this, he also frowned slightly.
"Where is she now, can you take us to her?" Chen Bing said softly to Youwei.
"She seems to have something to do today, and she went to accompany Xuexue for her birthday. If it's convenient to leave a number, I'll see her contact you another day. ”
Chen Bing just wanted to leave the phone, but Bai Shuo stopped her, and then left his number to Youwei. After taking Bai Shuo's number, he showed a slight regret, but quickly carefully collected the number.
After saying goodbye to Youwei, Bai Shuo took Chen Bing to take a cruise to enjoy the night view of Victoria Harbour. Perhaps the best experience is to sit on a boat and enjoy the night view of Victoria Harbour, only to see the high-rise buildings on both sides of the shore and the lights meet. This scene is imprinted in the seawater, and the waves in the sea also shine with a little brilliance, like a gorgeous fairy, arranging her colorful outfit according to the water. Bai Shuo couldn't help but sigh at the prosperity and heritage of Hong Kong Island, even in the memory of later generations, it would take many years for the imperial capital and the magic capital to surpass the prosperous ...... of Hong Kong Island.
After a tiring day, when he returned to the hotel, Chen Bing did not toss Bai Shuo anymore, but returned to the room to rest. Bai Shuo and Liang Ying had a phone call and exchanged the latest situation. Liang Ying heard that Bai Shuo was on Hong Kong Island, so she gave Bai Shuo a phone call, saying that it was a friend surnamed Yue, and if there was any difficulty, you could find that person, especially in the entertainment industry, maybe she could help. Bai Shuo asked that person what the relationship was with him, but Liang Ying only said that he was an ordinary friend, but Bai Shuo could hear that the relationship between the two was anything but ordinary.
The next day, Chen Bing took Bai Shuo to visit the top of Taiping Peak and other places, and Bai Shuo was tired enough. On the third day, Chen Bing swept through various large shopping malls with great interest, and Bai Shuo naturally played the role of a coolie, carrying large bags of things and tossing behind Chen Bing for most of the day. In the end, it was so much that I couldn't hold it, so I stopped the rhythm of buying, buying, buying. Of course, there are many of these things that Chen Bing bought for Bai Shuo. Because she thinks that she still has to be decent to see Chen Songzhang tomorrow, and Bai Shuo has always been casual, but she is not very particular about her clothes.
Finally it was time to meet Chen Songzhang again, Bai Shuo talked to Chen Songzhang on the phone early that morning, and then hurried to Chen Songzhang's studio, but after arriving, he never saw Chen Songzhang. was arranged by the assistant to a coffee table to receive guests, and after drinking N cups of coffee, Bai Shuo couldn't hold back any longer, just like the last time he saw Chen Bing, and quietly slipped inside. At this time, Bai Shuo was even wondering if after this time, the security here would also be strengthened because of himself like the previous Haidong Company. Inside, from a room with a hidden door, there was a burst of staccato music and humming voices, as if someone was pondering a tune over and over again. Bai Shuo approached the room and saw a man with glasses by the door, intently drawing on the score, sometimes playing a short piece of music on the keyboard, and sometimes humming a few words to the beat. When Bai Shuo heard it, wasn't this song sung by the Hong Kong Island singer Iasi that he had heard in his memory. Could it be the creation of the man in front of him? Bai Shuo listened to it for a while, and the man was revising the chorus, but there seemed to be two sentences that he was not satisfied with.
"Are you a side?" the man suddenly discovered Bai Shuo's existence, and asked in Cantonese with some anger.
Bai Shuo immediately replied in Chinese: "I am Bai Shuo of Shengshi Huazhang Company who made an appointment to meet Teacher Chen Songzhang today, are you Teacher Chen Songzhang?"
Hearing Bai Shuo answer himself in Chinese, the man with glasses was slightly stunned, and then said: "Well, I am, because the work was a little delayed, so you waited for a long time." ”
At this time, Chen Bing also came behind Bai Shuo. Chen Songzhang, who has always seen many celebrities and beautiful women, was slightly surprised at this time. Then he said: "I still have a little bit of work to finish, can you wait for me a little longer." As he spoke, one hand had already made a gesture of invitation, which was obviously not meant to be discussed.
Bai Shuo thought to himself, this person looks a bit like a musician at first glance, if he is invited out again, I don't know when he can do it here. I thought about it a little in my head. walked up to Chen Songzhang, picked it up and pointed to a guitar, and asked, "Can I use it?"
Chen Songzhang didn't know what he meant, and nodded hesitantly.
Bai Shuo picked up the guitar and played, it was the song that Chen Songzhang had just written, Bai Shuo performed the song smoothly, and even played the few paragraphs that Chen Songzhang had not yet written. After the song was played, Chen Songzhang was silent for a while, humming a few pieces of music from time to time. Suddenly ran to the score and began to write. After a while, he suddenly turned around and said, "It's really wonderful, Bai Sheng's tunes are just right, exactly what I want." Haha......"
Chen Bing looked at Bai Shuo with admiration on his face at this time, and Bai Shuo politely smiled at Chen Songzhang and said, "Teacher Songzhang, can we talk now?"
When Chen Songzhang heard this, he immediately pointed to the other room outside the door: "Okay, let's go over there to talk." ”
This is a simple reception room, after Bai Shuo and Chen Bing made their intentions clear, Chen Songzhang was a little hesitant, although he also had the idea of going to the mainland to develop, but in the end he was still a little nostalgic for Hong Kong Island, and did not make up his final decision. In the case of repeated communication without success. Bai Shuo said on a whim: "It is undeniable that the music of Hong Kong Island has passed the golden age of rapid development, and now the mainland has much more market and development space than Hong Kong Island. Of course, it is impossible for mainland music to be applied to the previous development model of Hong Kong Island, and it is inevitable to find a new way. However, it is certain that art is a product of the social, economic and cultural development of a region, and in any case, the mainland will enter a period of rapid development in all aspects in the next ten or twenty years. In this context, the art of music is bound to usher in great progress. ”
Looking at the contemplative Chen Songzhang, Bai Shuo continued: "I can understand Mr. Songzhang's mood and thoughts, but we don't ask you to leave Hong Kong Island completely, after all, Hong Kong Island has very good basic conditions in all aspects, especially in music, and it will definitely be an indispensable part of Chinese music in the future." We want to establish a branch of Shengshi Huazhang here, and in the future, Mr. Songzhang will go to the imperial capital to participate in the important affairs of the company when necessary. Usually, I can support the business development of the branch here on Hong Kong Island and help us train some new people. ”
Chen Songzhang's eyes lit up and said, "As far as I know, your company has just been established, and you are really preparing to open a branch on Hong Kong Island so soon?"
After getting Bai Shuo's affirmation, Chen Songzhang looked at Chen Bing and said, "I have heard Miss Chen Bing's songs, if I can help Miss Chen Bing make a few songs in the future, it may be my honor." ”
Chen Songzhang obviously agreed to join, and the purpose of Bai Shuo and Chen Bing's trip was successfully completed. After that, Bai Shuo, Chen Bing and Chen Songzhang exchanged for a whole day, talked about the development of music in the future, the experience of music creation, and finalized the matter of returning to the imperial capital together in three days. After having dinner with Chen Songzhang, Bai Shuo and Chen Bing were about to return to the hotel when Bai Shuo's mobile phone suddenly rang, and at first glance, it was a strange phone from Hong Kong Island.
"Hello, is it Mr. Bai Shuo?" a timid female voice came from the phone.
When Bai Shuo heard this, he immediately thought of who it was, and immediately pressed the speakerphone to let Chen Bing hear it too, and asked, "You are the little girl Li Youwei who sang very well that night, right?"
"Well, yes, do you remember me?" said the little girl, cheerfully.
"Of course, I guessed it was you as soon as I heard the voice. What's wrong? That girl of yours has found it?"
"Yes, we're together now, singing at a KTV, are you going to come over?"
Bai Shuo thought about it and quickly asked Chen Bing's opinion, Chen Bing was a little tired and wanted to go back to rest early, so Bai Shuo refused Youwei. Youwei said with some regret: "Are you really not coming? I told them that I knew Chen Bing, but they didn't believe it." ”
Chen Bing smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Bai Shuo: "Then let's go and sit down." Meet that awesome little girl. ”
Youwei on the other end of the phone obviously heard Chen Bing's agreement, and immediately called out happily. Then he was a little embarrassed and told Bai Shuo that he didn't know if he could treat Bai Shuo when he sang at night, they were all students who didn't have much pocket money. Bai Shuo said angrily: "You ghost girl, this is your purpose." ”
"What's the matter, we mainly want to see Sister Chen Bing. ”
According to the address sent by Youwei, Bai Shuo and Chen Bing soon arrived there, this is a relatively simple KTV for mass consumption, and it is indeed the kind that is suitable for their student girls to play. Youwei took the two into the private room, and there were still three girls sitting in the private room at this time, one of the girls was singing, and when she saw Youwei bringing someone in, she stopped. Youwei introduced them one by one, and finally pulled over a girl who should be the youngest and looked like she was only about sixteen years old: "This is my school sister Deng Shiying, who is very good at singing." ”
Bai Shuo took a look at Deng Shiying with the not-so-bright light of the KTV, and felt a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember why he had a familiar impression. Deng Shiying seems to love singing, she belongs to the Maiba type, but after a few short exchanges, seeing that everyone was surrounding Chen Bing and no one was singing, she immediately jumped over, cut the song and said, "If you don't sing, I'll sing first." ”
The next song is Beyo
D's "Like You", Bai Shuo didn't expect her to sing boys' songs as a girl, but she didn't care, because he sometimes sang girls' songs. Now the other three girls are all around them and are enthusiastically asking for autographs.
Drizzle with wind and damp dusk streets,
Wipe off the rain and look up for no reason
Look at the lonely evening light
It's that sad memory
......
Just now after singing two or two sentences, Bai Shuo suddenly looked at Deng Shiying in shock, this unique voice is so familiar. After taking a closer look at the little girl's appearance, an aura can turn the audience upside down, the singing voice can penetrate people's hearts, and the image of a small figure and full of vitality suddenly emerges in front of her eyes. Bai Shuo exclaimed in his heart: Oh my God, isn't this the "Deng Xiaoqi" who is red through half the sky in his memory? At this time, Bai Shuo had only one thought, and he must sign her.
One night, Chen Bing just sang two or three songs at everyone's request, but Deng Shiying was singing for a small half, Chen Bing was also surprised by Deng Shiying's singing skills, and said to Bai Shuo in private, if this little girl can be cultivated well, she will become atmospheric. Bai Shuo also directly expressed the idea of finding a way to sign her no matter what. At the end of the day, Bai Shuo euphemistically expressed her thoughts to Deng Shiying, and seeing that Deng Shiying was a little hesitant, he asked her to go to Chen Songzhang's studio the next day to talk in detail. I heard that it was the famous music producer Chen Songzhang, and Deng Shiying was also full of yearning.
The next day, Deng Shiying, accompanied by Li Youwei, came to the studio, and Bai Shuo asked Chen Songzhang to inspect the two little girls. Chen Songzhang felt that both of them were manufacturable materials, especially Deng Shiying, who had quite high plasticity, and strongly asked Bai Shuo to sign for key training. Bai Shuo couldn't help but admire Chen Songzhang's level even more.
After a long talk, Li Youwei happily agreed to join and became the first artist of Hong Kong Island Shengshi Huazhang Company. Of course, she may still need to be nurtured for a long time before she can make a difference. But regrettably, Deng Shiying finally refused to join. It turned out that Deng Shiying was only 15 years old and was still a student, and she felt that she was still young and not ready to become an artist. There is a more important reason, that is, after participating in the school singing competition last year and winning the first place. A Hong Kong Island record company approached her, although she also felt too young at the time and did not agree immediately, but she still made an appointment with this record company to join and debut in two years. Although the two sides did not officially sign a contract, it is obvious that Shiying is more confident in that record company, after all, Hong Kong Island's Shengshi Huazhang Company does not even have a film yet.
