Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 161 I just want one night

While eating, drinking, and chatting, before I knew it, a bottle of wine had reached its bottom.

Yang Ye put down his wine glass and said, "I have to catch a flight tomorrow morning, so I'll go back first!"

Zhang Minyi said: "How can you drive when you are drunk?"

"I came by bicycle."

"You can't even ride a bike!"

"Then I'll take a taxi."

"You took a taxi while drunk, and you will make headlines again tomorrow!"

"Then what do you say?"

"How about...you can rest here tonight, there is a room available."

When Zhang Minyi said this, her face turned red. She didn't know whether she was drunk or shy.

Yang Ye smiled secretly in his heart, and originally wanted to ask again: Is it convenient?
After all, I held back and couldn't go too far.He said: "Okay then!"

"Then take a shower first and then go to bed early!"

Zhang Minyi went back to the room to search for a long time, took out a bathrobe, and said with some embarrassment: "I don't have men's clothes at home. You can take a shower and wear this bathrobe to make do."

"Thank you!"

Yang Ye was not polite, took a bathrobe and went to take a shower.

Zhang Minyi cleared the tableware on the table and took it to the kitchen to clean it.

The bathroom was filled with mist, and a blurry figure was printed on the frosted glass.

The water in the faucet washed Zhang Minyi's hands gently, and her heart was filled with waves.

Super stars like Yang Ye have great attraction to women.

And Zhang Minyi watched Yang Ye, a young loser, step by step rise to today's world superstar with his own talent, and the attraction became even more intense.

Yang Ye also treated her very well. He often accepted her invitation and came to the radio station as a guest, which made the radio station very popular.

Occasionally, she would give her some advice. As a time traveler, the ideas Yang Ye inadvertently expressed were often true insights for this era.

It was with Yang Ye's help that Zhang Minyi became the director of the station two years earlier than in the original time and space.

All these things made Zhang Minyi trapped in the mud and unable to extricate herself.

However, Yang Ye's star aura was too strong, which made her feel somewhat inferior.

Although her appearance can be regarded as a beauty, compared with Lin Qingxia and others surrounding Yang Ye, she is relatively ordinary.

It was okay at first, she thought it would be good to be friends.

But as the two of them interacted more and more, she became more and more deeply involved. As she got older, she became more and more anxious.

After all, she was seven years older than Yang Ye, and with every passing day, her hopes became more disillusioned.

She is already 32 years old this year. If she continues to waste time, she will become old and wan, and she will not have any chance again.

This year she had the opportunity to meet Yang Ye several times, and she also hinted with words, but unfortunately Yang Ye didn't express anything.

It wasn't until more than a month ago that Yang Ye came to Taili as a guest and bought her a late-night snack. She took advantage of her promotion to invite Yang Ye to her home.

However, Yang Ye refused because of the premiere.

In fact, she didn't invite any other friends at all, only Yang Ye.

After waiting for a month, Yang Ye... finally came to her home as a guest.

She finally found an excuse to keep Yang Ye.

Next, she didn't know what to do.

Although she is older, she has little love experience. Her last relationship was seven or eight years ago.

In the past few years, she has been obsessed with Yang Ye and has not had much contact with other men.

While he was thinking wildly, Yang Ye came out of the bath. He didn't wear the bathrobe, but used it as a bath towel, wrapped it around his waist, tied a knot with two sleeves, and left his upper body bare, revealing his toned muscles. .

"What...the bathrobe is too small, I can't wear it." Yang Ye said with some embarrassment.

In fact, the bathrobe is relatively loose and can be worn casually. This guy is just selling meat on purpose!
Zhang Minyi looked at Yang Ye's strong muscles and couldn't help but feel obsessed, especially because Yang Ye hadn't dried them off, and there were still water drops flowing on the muscles...

"It's okay!" Zhang Minyi said, biting her lip.

"Is there a hair dryer?"

"Yes! Do you want me to blow it for you?"

"Okay, thanks!"

Yang Ye entered Zhang Minyi's boudoir and sat in front of the makeup mirror. Zhang Minyi was blowing his hair with a hair dryer.

The hair dryer was blowing hot air, Zhang Minyi's fingers brushed through Yang Ye's silky hair, and her heart was throbbing!

His hair was quickly dried, and Yang Ye said, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

"Then I'm going to sleep, good night!"

"good night!"

……

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Ye felt a figure sneak into his room quietly.

The figure stood in front of the bed for a few minutes, and finally made up his mind, climbed up, and got into Yang Ye's thin quilt.

"Minyi?" Yang Ye said in a daze.

"It's me!" Zhang Minyi said, leaning next to Yang Ye and hugging him.

Yang Ye felt her body shaking slightly.

In fact, as a mature woman in her 30s, she shouldn't be like this, but Yang Ye is a superstar and the person she likes, so she is trembling with nervousness.

"How do you..."

"Kiss me, please? I...just want one night!"

Yang Ye felt that he was so shameless. In fact, he could have captured Zhang Minyi a long time ago, but he kept pretending and kept pretending, and finally forced her to this point.

Having reached this point, Yang Ye satisfied her request and kissed her lips...

...didn't sleep all night!
Yang Ye asked: "What time is it?"

Zhang Minyi looked at the time and said, "Yeah, it's five o'clock."

"Are you still coming?"

Zhang Minyi shook her head quickly, with an expression of satisfaction and fear.

"Let me make breakfast for you. You have to go home and get your luggage later."

Yang Ye shook his head and said: "No need to be busy, just eat on the plane."

"Then... let's chat for a while longer?"

"Okay, it's still early anyway."

Yang Ye sat up, held Zhang Minyi in his arms, and asked: "In your 'Top Ten Chinese Songs' awards, besides selecting the top ten singers, are there any other awards?"

Zhang Minyi shook her head: "It's just to select the ten most representative songs this year and give awards and encouragement!"

Yang Ye said: "That would be too monotonous. Actually, I have some ideas. Do you want to listen?"

"Of course you have to listen, your ideas must be very powerful."

Zhang Minyi is a figure behind the Hong Kong entertainment industry and has great influence.

Because she has single-handedly controlled the "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs" and the "Hong Kong Film Awards", two major awards events representing the Hong Kong Philharmonic and Hong Kong films, for 20 years.

In many time-travel novels, it is mentioned that the Academy Awards are organized by Shu Qi, the editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly".

However, "Movie Biweekly" is just a small magazine with a circulation of several thousand copies, and Shu Qi is just a small editor-in-chief. What qualifications does he have to host the "Golden Film Awards"?
Even if he holds it, who will buy it?Who do the big guys in the Hong Kong film industry know him?

In fact, Shu Qi is indeed the initiator of the Academy Awards, but "Film Fortnight" is only a co-organizer, and the real organizer is "Radio Television Hong Kong".

In Mount Wutai, the other four stations are all private companies. Only Radio Television Hong Kong is publicly run by the Hong Kong government, and Radio Television Hong Kong is the father of the other four stations.

The "educational programs" produced by Radio Television Hong Kong must be broadcast unconditionally by the three television stations. Jiashi was tortured to death by the "educational programs" produced by Radio Television Hong Kong.

In addition to producing educational programs, Radio Television Hong Kong also produces TV dramas, series, etc. After production, they are broadcast by TV stations. No station dares not to broadcast them.

As mentioned before, the long-lasting TV series "Under the Lion Rock" was produced by Radio Television Hong Kong.Hong Kong's first color TV series "Smoke" was also produced by Radio Television Hong Kong.

It is precisely because of the presence of "Radio Television Hong Kong" that the big guys in the Hong Kong entertainment industry recognize the Academy Awards.

In fact, how can a large-scale event like the Hong Kong Film Awards be held without government support?

In the original time and space, Zhang Minyi was promoted to the director of Radio Hong Kong in 80, and the Academy Award was born in her hands.

Now, Zhang Minyi has been promoted to the director of the station two years ahead of schedule, which has led to the birth of the "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs" in her hands.

This influence will naturally reach a higher level.

In the original time and space, Zhang Minyi gradually rose to the position of director of the Broadcasting Department. She held the "Top Ten Golden Songs" in her left hand and the "Golden Statue Award" in her right hand. All the big-name stars in Hong Kong wanted to give her some face. , Anita Mui is in line with her sisters.

To put it bluntly, no one dares to offend her!
It is for this reason that Yang Ye went to such great lengths to get Zhang Minyi at the expense of selling meat.

Yang Ye said: "I think just choosing ten songs is too monotonous. And in the field of pop songs, lyrics and music are even more important than singers, but they lack exposure, and the singers reap all the benefits. So, if there are awards, , and more awards should be given to songwriters.”

Zhang Minyi was enlightened by Yang Ye's words, and she said happily: "Do you have a specific plan?"

Yang Ye said: "Actually, it's very simple. In addition to selecting the top ten golden songs of the year, there are also some individual awards. Including... best composer, best lyricist, best arranger, best male singer, best Female singer, best singing group (band)..."

Yang Ye directly used the set from the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards, and what he said was clear and logical. Zhang Minyi nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Yang Ye said: "Actually, I think the top ten golden songs are a bit general and too divided. It would be better to be like the Golden Horse Awards, where one is rated as the best movie, and then several outstanding movies are rated."

Zhang Minyi said: "You mean to judge one of the best hits, and then the remaining nine songs will be outstanding songs?"

Yang Yip said: "That's right, but I suggest to break it down further. Since Cantonese songs and Mandarin songs coexist in the Hong Kong music scene now, it is best to divide them into the best Cantonese hits and the best Mandarin hits."

Yang Ye is completely considering the future of the Hong Kong Philharmonic. After all, Hong Kong is a small place. At its peak, Cantonese songs could be spread through Hong Kong films.

But then Hong Kong movies stopped doing well, and Cantonese songs became an instant hit.

Well, it can't be said that it died suddenly, but that its influence has weakened and can only be limited to this small area in the Cantonese-speaking area.

After all, the vast majority of people in Greater China speak Mandarin. If the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra wants to avoid being a flash in the pan, it cannot give up Mandarin songs.

Yang Ye said: "There is another point that I think is very important. When evaluating the best hits, cover songs must not be selected."

Zhang Minyi said: "Why is this?"

Yang Ye said: “On the one hand, it is to encourage originality, and on the other hand, it is to avoid monopoly.”

"Let's talk about originality first. If the Hong Kong Philharmonic wants to prosper, it cannot do without the efforts of local musicians. If it only relies on covering popular songs from Europe, the United States, Japan and other places, it will only be a false prosperity and will eventually be short-lived."

"As for monopoly, for example, if a singer becomes popular, he will have a lot of resources. Especially for singers from international record companies, such as PolyGram, Warner, etc., the power of the parent company is extremely powerful.

In this case, in order to ensure that the singer continues to be popular, his record company will cover popular foreign songs for him.Because a song that has already become popular in a certain area has a high chance of becoming popular again, and even if it is not popular, it will not go out on the street.If you only sing new songs, the risk will be higher.

In a business society, this approach is understandable, but when it comes to awarding awards, it is easy to form a monopoly.For example, Allen, his recently released "Love in Late Autumn" sold [-] copies as soon as it was released.Of the twelve songs on this album, only four are original and the other eight are covers.Especially the song "Child", which I helped him write the lyrics for, was a cover of "ANAK" by Filipino singer Freddie Aguilar. "ANAK" reached the top ten in both Europe, America and Japan.

For such an excellent song, if you were to award the top ten golden songs, this song would easily be included.If a popular singer relies on his influence to continuously obtain the copyright of popular foreign songs and cover them, then he will dominate the charts.Other singers who don't have such great energy will suffer a great deal, and may even create a dilemma for newcomers to be unable to get ahead.Over time, it will be very detrimental to local original music. "

Yang Ye's words were somewhat aimed at Alan Tam and others.

The cover trend of the Hong Kong Philharmonic was brought about by Alan Tam. He even did the whole cover thing.

With his super popularity and singing skills, and relying on foreign classic songs, Alan Tam has been dominating the charts at award ceremonies all year round.Later, there was a situation of "Tan Zhang competing for hegemony" with another big cover singer Zhang Guorong.
This also caused a lot of trouble for the two of them. At award ceremonies and other occasions at that time, when they appeared, they were often half booed and half cheered. Fans went crazy, quarreled every day, and even caused bloodshed. Later, Alan Tam reluctantly announced No longer accepting awards, Zhang Guorong even announced that he would be banned from the Wheat Awards.

They stopped playing, and when it was the turn of the Four Heavenly Kings, they intensified their efforts. There was a strange scene where seven of the "Top Ten Chinese Songs" were covers, and naturally all of these seven songs came from the Four Heavenly Kings.

Under this situation, the four heavenly kings also knew that it would not be a problem to continue like this, and newcomers would not be able to play at all.

If you don’t have resources, you can’t get good songs.

So, one by one announced that they would no longer accept the award.

Some people may ask, wouldn’t newcomers be able to get good resources without singing covers?Wasn't it taken away by Tan Zhang, the Four Heavenly Kings and others?
This is different:

On the one hand, cover songs have been tested abroad and are less likely to hit the streets. However, local original songs are different. No one knows whether the song will be popular before it is released.For example, Xin Xiaoqi's song "Enlightenment" was simply leftover from someone else's selection. Everyone thought the song would not be popular, but she ended up singing it as her own masterpiece.

On the other hand, with the existence of singer-songwriters, if there are no cover songs to get in the way, the probability of the singer-songwriter getting ahead will be higher.Because singing cover songs is equivalent to gathering the elites from all over the world to fight against local songs. How can local songs defeat them?
So what Yang Ye means is very simple, you can cover it and make money, it’s not shabby.

But there are some restrictions for you. You can't win the best hit. This thing has to be reserved for local songs!

Of course, Yang Ye, the plagiarism dog, is not included in this list.

Yang Ye's proposal, Yu Gong, can try to ensure the healthy development of the Hong Kong Philharmonic.

In private, hey!All those good songs from abroad are in my hands, so I can mass-produce all the hit singers in the future!
