It seems to be laughing and suffering,
How can we separate the false from the true?
There is no distinction between grudges and grudges, but there is also hatred.
There is darkness on the bright back.
Don't remember the past and ignore it.
How many bitterness and sweetness are there in your life?
Cherish the hope of today,
Striving hardship and trouble together
……
Xianlin Dance Hall, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.
The girl on the stage held the microphone in her hands, twisted her body gently, and sang Xu Xiaofeng's "The Road to the Storm and Rain" affectionately.
On the dance floor below, guests were hugging and dancing, and no one paid attention to what the singers were singing on the stage.
After singing several songs in a row, Anita Mui retreated to the backstage and prepared to take off her makeup and go home.
Anita Mui's father died of illness when she was four years old. Her mother made a living by running a dilapidated dance hall to support four children under the age of 10.
Less than a month after her father's death, Anita Mui performed on stage with her mother and sister, and helped clean up when there was no performance.
Until Anita Mui was thirteen years old, an unexpected fire broke out in the dance hall at home, and the whole family returned to a state of poverty.
From then on, Anita Mui had to drop out of school and sing in various dance halls and nightclubs all day to make money. In addition to supporting the whole family, she also had to support her two brothers to study.
Yihua, someone is looking for it!The dance hall manager shouted at the backstage door.
Yihua is the stage name of Anita Mui as a singer. When she and her sister were young, they were often ridiculed by teachers and classmates for singing.
Anita Mui packed up casually and took her bag over, but saw her mother and sister coming, and asked in surprise: Mom, sister, why are you here?
Anita Mui's mother is getting older and can no longer sing, or the guests don't like to listen to old women singing.
So she usually helps her two daughters contact the venue to negotiate prices, and she is her daughter's agent and nanny.
My sister Mei Aifang came over happily and grabbed Anita Mui, pointing to Deng Yimin behind and said: This is Mr. Deng, general manager of Fengxing Records. Mr. Deng came to his home in person today and said that he wanted to help you produce the record.
Help me release a record?Anita Mui's eyes widened in disbelief, thinking that her ears had been wrong.
Some time ago, Anita Mui saw the promotional advertisement for TVB and Huaxing Company to hold the first Chinese Rookie Singing Competition. She thought she was singing well and immediately ran to sign up for herself and her sister.
But the result disappointed Anita Mui very much. She was defeated in the knockout round, and her sister failed to even make the knockout round.
Fengxing Records Company is an old company. Anita Mui, who can sing hundreds of songs at the age of 10, often saw the words Fengxing Records written on the records when she was a child.
Deng Yimin looked at Anita Mui carefully and found that this girl was inferior to her image on the stage. She could only be said to be pretty and a little disappointed.
However, Deng Yimin could not refuse the task that Kang Jianfei ordered. At the same time, he was still confused and wanted to know why Kang Jianfei fell in love with this girl.
Let's find a place to talk.Deng Yimin said.
What else can Anita Mui say?She is still floating in the clouds and can only nod her head constantly.
After finding a cafe to sit down, Deng Yimin said: I have also seen Amei’s performance in the singing competition. To be honest, she has some problems with singing...
Mei Aifang suddenly interrupted: Mr. Deng, my sister was sick that day and her voice was not very good.
Deng Yimin was interrupted and said with some dissatisfaction: Can I finish listening to me?
The mother quietly took a photo of Mei Aifang and smiled apologized: Mr. Deng, you said, the child is ignorant.
Deng Yimin continued: I can hear that your voice should be good, but you may not have received formal training. You have many minor problems when singing, which is completely a wild path.Of course, these minor problems can be corrected, and your feelings about music are still great.
Mei’s mother has been living in the dance hall for decades and has a good attitude towards her. She knows that Deng Yimin has decided to sign her daughter, so she hurriedly said: Yanfang, don’t you please thank Mr. Deng for giving you this opportunity!
Anita Mui also reacted and realized that this was a moment that changed her life. She suppressed the excitement in her heart, stood up and bowed repeatedly: Thank you Mr. Deng!
Deng Yimin smiled and said: Thank you, I don’t have to thank you, Mr. Kang insisted on signing you.
There are few surnames Kang, and Kang Jianfei is the famous Hong Kong entertainment industry. When Deng Yimin said that both the mother and daughter of the Mei family knew who they were.
Mei Aifang asked happily: Is it Mr. Kang who filmed "The Legend of Dao Ma Dan"?
"The Legend of the Dao Ma Dan" and "The Dragon Master" are two of the most popular movies in Hong Kong. Although the Mei family has never watched it, the name of the movie has been heard many times.
Deng Yimin nodded and said: If you want to come up with a record, you will come to the company to sign a contract tomorrow.
Deng Yimin left the company address and left, leaving the three mothers and daughters of the Mei family in the cafe.
Anita Mui asked: Mom, why did this Mr. Deng suddenly come to me?
Mei’s mother said: I don’t know, he suddenly came to the door. Maybe he watched your singing competition.
Mei Aifang said: Didn’t Mr. Deng say that Mr. Kang wants to sign his younger sister?Mr. Kang wrote great songs, it must be because he fell in love with the younger sister's voice.
……
One, two, three, two, three, four…
In the training room of Fengxing Records, Li Meifeng, Li Yànshan, Li Lizhen and Xie Ning were practicing dance steps under the command of the dance teacher.
After the release of "Happy Ghost 2", the soundtrack led by Xie Ning sold well. The couple also formed the Happy Girls group and participated in some live performances.
However, due to the average singing ability of several people, only some young fans supported him, and their influence has always been high and low.
It is not popular in the music industry today to sing and dance. The reason why we have to practice dancing every day is because Kang Jianfei insists on doing this, even Deng Yimin doesn't understand it.
Dongdongdongdongdong...
The knock on the door interrupted the dance teacher's command, and Wen Bixia reached into the training room and said: Teacher, I'll report it.
The dance teacher nodded and said: Come in.
It's Wen Bixia!The four girls including Li Meifeng, Li Lizhen suddenly exclaimed.
Wen Bixia is the heroine in the first part of "Happy Ghost", while the four of them are the heroines in the second part, and they will pay close attention to each other quietly.
Wen Bixia is very confident because she lives at Kang Jianfei's house. Looking at the four beautiful girls, she has an inexplicable sense of superiority and said in a generous tone of an elder sister: I am here to join the Happy Girls Group. If you have any help in the future, come to me.
Wen Bixia has acted in nearly ten dramas now, and although many of them are supporting roles, she is much more famous than Li Lizhen and others.
So when this said, it did not arouse the disgust of many people. Instead, it felt friendly because they had all acted in "Happy Ghost".
Just as the girls were training dance steps, Deng Yimin was in the office, staring at the ten songs in front of him in shock.
These songs were brought by Kang Jianfei today. Deng Yimin felt that his boss was really amazing.
Kang Jianfei flipped through the song score and said: The eight songs here are for Happy Girls to make records.The other "Thousands of Songs" and "Dream Chaser" have singles for Anita Mui. After it has gained a certain popularity, you will find someone to write lyrics and compose music to write new songs for Anita Mui, and then release records together with those two singles.
Kang Jianfei is very lazy and wrote eight songs to the Happy Girls group, all of which were copied from the third and fourth records of another time and space TWINS group.
The main song is "Big Big Win", which is considered a verbal favour. In addition, the lyrics of "Friends" include Ayumi Hamasaki, Kang Jianfei also changed it to the three words "The Queen of the Diva", and other songs have some minor changes.
As for the "Dream Chaser" written for Anita Mui, it is not the Mandarin version of Feng Feifei, but the Cantonese version of Andy Lau's movie interlude.
Deng Yimin asked: Mr. Kang, I still don’t understand, what do you want the Happy Girls to learn to dance?
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: In their "Big and Big Purple" record, each song will be accompanied by a specially arranged dance to show their youthful vitality.
Deng Yimin still couldn't figure it out and said: But except for live singing, fans can't see Ah.
Kang Jianfei asked: Have you ever heard of what MV is?
Music Video?Deng Yimin asked.
Although Kang Jianfei didn't speak English, he still understood these two words and nodded and said: What I mean is to shoot all eight songs into MVs, and some life and campus shots were interspersed in the dance.
Although MVs have not become popular all over the world, MVs have appeared in both the United States and Hong Kong. For example, Xu Guanjie has made MVs for his songs.
But the content of the MVs now is very simple, most of them are singers singing in front of the camera, and there are not many plots.
Deng Yimin reminded: There are not many families with video recorders in Hong Kong, and MV video tapes cannot sell much sales, and it is too expensive to produce.
Indeed, at this time, whether it is a TV show or a MV, it is necessary to shoot it with film, which is a huge expense, unlike later digital cameras that can be recorded at will.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: I know your concerns, but I don’t just use these MVs to sell video tapes, but to play them on the TV station.
Deng Yimin asked: It’s another money to go on TV.
Kang Jianfei said: It can be counted as the promotional fee of the record.
……
Dongdongdongdongdong...
The voice of Secretary Deng Yimin came from outside the door: General Manager, Anita Mui and her mother are here.
Deng Yimin said: Let her come in.
The three of Anita Mui and her daughter came. After Mei’s mother smiled and thanked the female secretary, she carefully pushed the door open and went in. She saw Manager Deng whom she had seen yesterday and Kang Jianfei who often appeared in the newspaper.
Hello Mr. Kang, Hello Mr. Deng!Mei's mother bowed and greeted her quickly.
Kang Jianfei nodded and smiled: Let's sit down.
Deng Yimin handed over the prepared record contract: You can take a look first, if you have any questions, you can raise them.
Mei's mother looked carefully one by one, and nodded half an hour later and said: No problem, but can you ask, if we sign the contract, when will Yanfang be able to release a record?
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Are you worried?
Mei's mother smiled and said: How could she be worried? But after all, she signed a 15-year contract, so it would be better to ask a little bit.
Yes, Anita Mui’s record contract is more ruthless than DreamWorks, and it will take 15 years to sign it.
The contract, including Su Qi, was also revised when recording "Wine Dried and Selling No". The contract was also signed for a 15-year sale contract.
Although the 15-year sale contract is too long, it is very common in Hong Kong at this time. Even after 20 or 30 years, 15-year contracts often occur in both China and abroad.
For celebrities who have become popular, a 2015-year long appointment is a contract, but for newcomers like Anita Mui, it is a good opportunity that has to be seized.
To put it bluntly, most of the lower-level singers who make money by running the field, even if they want to sign a contract for sale, no record company can like them.
Deng Yimin handed the "Dream Chaser" and "Thousands of Songs" written by Kang Jianfei to Mei's mother and said with a smile: Look, this is the song written by Mr. Kang himself for Amei. You should be relieved now.
Mei’s mother is a singing girl who has been singing for decades. She even understands what good songs are and what bad songs are.
After singing the two songs silently a few times in my heart, Mei's mother knew that this was a rare good song. She smiled happily: Yanfang, thank you for your care.
Anita Mui didn't know the content of the song, but she still thanked her quickly and quickly signed her name on the 15-year contract.
Deng Yimin said to Anita Mui: Amei, go to the next door to find Sister Zhang later. She will help you arrange a singing teacher to correct some of your minor problems when singing.About half a month later, the company will record a single for you, so you must prepare it.
Anita Mui started singing on stage at the age of 4. She has been singing other people's songs for more than ten years, and she dreams of singing her own songs.
Now that she has just signed a record contract, she is notified to record a song half a month later, which makes her feel as unreal as if she is dreaming.
The mother and daughter left with great gratitude, while Deng Yimin and Kang Jianfei continued the previous topic.
The final result was of course Kang Jianfei convinced Deng Yimin.
Even if Deng Yimin is dissatisfied, he has to be convinced, because Kang Jianfei is the real boss of the company. After sitting down and making a decision, Deng Yimin, a small shareholder, could not refute it.
Moreover, Kang Jianfei has made all the suggestions he said in person so far, and he has already gained an authority in front of Deng Yimin.
With the popularity of "Hitting the Wrong Car", the record "Drinks and Selling No" sold more than 1.2 million yuan in Taiwan, surpassing Emperor superstar Liu Wenzheng and setting a new record for single record sales in Taiwan.
In addition to Taiwan and Southeast Asian countries, the total sales of "Dry Wine and Sell Without" is more than 2.6 million copies.
Some people even say that Su Qi's "Drink Drinks and Sells Nothing" has opened a new era of Chinese pop music, and in fact it is indeed the case.
Influenced by Su Qi, a large number of young singers abandoned the old style of music and became Su Qi's followers and supporters.
How can we separate the false from the true?
There is no distinction between grudges and grudges, but there is also hatred.
There is darkness on the bright back.
Don't remember the past and ignore it.
How many bitterness and sweetness are there in your life?
Cherish the hope of today,
