Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

"Since you are Mr. Dai's disciple, you must be a good singer, right?"

Dai Sicong brought Wang Fei to Baiyang Agency with the intention of recommending her to join the industry, and it was an unexpected surprise to meet Yang Ye.

If Wang Fei catches Yang Ye's eye, it will be hard for him not to become famous.

Dai Sicong said: "A Fei's voice is very good!"

Yang Ye nodded and said with a smile: "If you don't mind, sing a few lines for me."

Wang Fei’s personality in the entertainment industry is aloof, very strong-willed, and the type who doesn’t give a shit to anyone.

They especially don't like to poke fun at the media, and those media are so despicable. The less Wang Fei pokes fun at them, the more they lick them.

However, Wang Fei was not like this in his early days. In his early MVs, he even wore sexy hot pants and posed seductively.

Moreover, since she had no dance training, her dancing was extremely awkward, so much so that it was quite funny to watch it again many years later.

Fans’ comments: Life is not easy, Feifei performs to make a living.

Only when people become powerful can they do whatever they want.

For example, Liang Caowei showed great social anxiety in his later years, but he was also very lively in his early years.

Zhou Xingchi is even a little autistic, but for a role, he can also fight for it with all his might.

When Wang Fei heard Yang Ye asking her to sing a few lines, she was not afraid and said, "Okay!"

As she spoke, she opened her red lips and began to sing: "The coconut wind stirs up the silver waves, the setting sun peeks out from behind the clouds, and I see a beautiful girl sitting alone on the golden beach..."

Wang Fei was singing Deng Lijun's "Girl from the South China Sea". Yang Ye closed his eyes and listened, looking a little intoxicated.

I have to say, she sang very well. Although her style has not yet come out, her voice is ethereal and beautiful, full of tenderness and sweetness. She is born with a good voice!
There was only one person who enlightened the early mainland pop singers, and that was Teresa Teresa.

It was only after listening to Teresa Teresa that they realized that it was possible to sing like this.

Wang Fei’s idol is naturally Teresa Tang.

Wang Fei once said: "Deng Lijun is a part of my memory and a part of my growth stage. She is more than just an idol or a singer. I will remember singing her songs after school. She is my enlightenment teacher of pop music, and she will be now and in the future."

Wang Fei started out by imitating Teresa Teresa, because the New Art City Records that signed her thought that Wang Fei and Teresa Teresa's voices were similar.

But later she imitated many people, such as The Cranberries and the Polar Gemini.

By constantly absorbing nourishment from music from all over the world, she finally formed her own style and became a unique pop queen in the Chinese music scene.

"Oh, girl from the South Sea, why are you so sad? You are only sixteen and a half years old, and you have a new lover to keep you company after you have lost your old dream."

After Wang Fei finished singing, Yang Ye just nodded and said, "You sang well."

Then he said nothing more and turned to look at the four handsome men.

Chai Zhiping stood behind Yang Ye and winked at him. The four handsome men came over conspicuously and introduced themselves to Yang Ye.

"Hello Sir Yang, I am Ekin Zheng Yijian."

Well, handsome Nan, not bad.

"Hello Sir Yang, I am Louis Gu Tianle."

Well, Bai Gu, you are as handsome as me.

"Hello Sir Yang, I am Julian Zhang Zhilin."

"Hello Sir Yang, I am Eric Sun Yaowei."

Hey, these two were also dug out? Chai Zhiping has good taste, she really deserves to be the idol godmother!
Yang Ye was very satisfied and gave a thumbs up: "Not bad, they are all very handsome!"

Among these four people, Sun Yaowei is the least famous and least well-known in later generations, but he was really popular in the 1990s.

He was originally a top student at the University of Hong Kong. Because he formed his own band during college, he went to Taiwan to participate in a program and made his debut in Taiwan.

However, his career development was not very smooth and he was once hidden by his agency.

There is no consensus on the reason for his being hidden. Rumor has it that it was because he was patriotic and was unwilling to sing Japanese songs or endorse Japanese products.

This also allowed him to get some patriotic fans, and he became popular again decades later thanks to this character.

This is most likely a rumor. He was signed with a Japanese company at the time, developed his career in Japan, released Japanese albums, and collaborated with Japanese actress Noriko Sakai and others.

His most famous song, "Love Story Part 1", is also a cover of a Japanese song. How could he refuse to sing Japanese songs and refuse to endorse Japanese products?

Moreover, he was just banned by a Japanese agency and could no longer develop in Japan.

She immediately went to Taiwan to develop in the film and television industry, and starred in "Princess Huaiyu", which made her instantly famous.

Later, his acting career never stopped. He kept filming and singing, but he gradually became out of fashion.

No matter what, these four people are much stronger than the "F4" in the original time and space.

Those four can all be popular, but these four...

Since the birth of "Boys Over Flowers" in Japan in 1995, seven live-action versions have been filmed in China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and Thailand.

Each edition became all the rage and made countless stars famous.

Mary Sue love stories may expire, but "Meteor Garden" is always at its best.

This is not the eternal history of romance, but the magic of Cinderella.

This first-generation version of this time and space is top-notch as soon as it comes out. It is hard to imagine how popular it will be.

Yang Ye asked: "Where is Jingyi?"

Chai Zhiping said: "Practicing dancing in the dance studio."

Yang Ye glanced at Li Zhi, who immediately said, "I'll go ask her to come over!"

After saying that, the girl walked away with her big butt. Several young men almost drooled at her devilish figure.

Yang Ye said to the four handsome guys, "The four of you were carefully selected by the company, and you all look very handsome. The company's vision is to build you into a male idol group that can rival Girls' Generation. I hope you can work hard for this goal and live up to the company's expectations."

The four handsome guys quickly said that they would work hard.

At this time, Yi Nengjing followed Li Zhi into the classroom, and Yang Ye smiled and said, "There is no need to introduce Miss Yi Nengjing, I believe you all know her.

Next, the company is about to start filming a TV series called "Meteor Garden", and Yi Nengjing will play the leading female role.

And the four of you will play a boy group Flower 4, or F4 for short, in the drama.

Before filming begins, the company will give you three months to get to know each other.

I hope that by then, the friendship you show in the play is real and not just acted.”

Then he announced: "Ms. Chai Zhiping is the producer of this TV series and will also be your agent. If you have any questions, you can ask her and she will take care of everything for you."

After explaining everything, Yang Ye said to Wang Fei, "Ms. Wang, your voice is very special. Are you interested in moving over and chatting with us?"

Wang Fei had sung a song "Girl from the South China Sea" to Yang Ye before, and Yang Ye just perfunctorily said "You sang well" and didn't say anything else.

This made her feel a little disappointed. It was obvious that Yang Ye didn't like her.

In this situation, Dai Sicong could do nothing to help.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. After Yang Ye finished explaining the F4 matters, he came back to her.

It turns out that he doesn't look down on me.

Wang Fei happily said: "Okay!"

Yang Ye nodded and said to Yi Nengjing: "Jingyi, I'm leaving first, you get to know them."

Yi Nengjing agreed, but didn't say much in front of everyone.

Although she was already a popular idol, she was not arrogant and was very approachable in getting to know the four handsome men. Yang Ye had put a lot of effort into creating Meteor Garden for her, and even found four handsome men to act with her, which showed how much he loved her.

Of course she had to behave well. She would never act like a big shot. Even Yang Ye never acted like a big shot, let alone them.

The four handsome guys were quite excited. It was your first time filming a movie and you were working with the members of Asia's most popular idol group "Girls' Generation". It was a great honor.

……

Yang Ye took Wang Fei back to his office. Li Zhi poured her a cup of coffee and went out.

Yang Ye had not yet finished processing a few documents, so he said, "Wait a moment."

Wang Fei nodded, Yang Ye stopped talking and looked down.

Wang Fei held the cup of coffee and silently stared at the man in front of him. He was only in his thirties, well-maintained, with short hair, and full of energy.

His eyebrows are as sharp as swords, his eyes are as fierce as phoenixes, and his facial contours are angular, making him look very heroic.

Wang Fei had seen Yang Ye on the big screen countless times before, and seeing him in person now, he couldn't help but sigh, "It turns out he's even more handsome in person than in the movies!"

Soon, Yang Ye signed his name on the document, looked up and said, "Judging from your accent, are you from Beijing?"

Wang Fei exclaimed, then smiled and said, "Yes, you heard it."

Yang Ye nodded and said bluntly: “I am preparing a music variety show called “The Voice of China”.

The purpose of this program is to discover the unique voices of the Chinese world. I am very happy to hear your singing today.

You are the good voice I am looking for. I hope you can join this program. Through this program, I guarantee you will become famous overnight."

Wang Fei asked suspiciously, "Is it a singing competition?"

Yang Ye nodded and said, "I guess so, but it's not quite the same. Traditional singing competitions only select talented singers, and then help them release records and become famous.

The program I planned is to first select good talents, then use the program to create stars, make them famous first, and then release records. "

"The other way around?"

"Correct!"

"Why do you want to do this?"

“The traditional way of creating stars often depends on the performance of the first two albums. If the performance is not good, the record company will often give up on the singer and stop investing in him.

I do the opposite, I make the singer famous first, then release the album, this way the album will bring its own sales, ensuring that the investment in the singer will not be wasted. "

Wang Fei thought it was very interesting, but still asked, "Then how can you guarantee that the singer will become famous in advance?"

Yang Ye briefly explained his plan. When Wang Fei heard that Yang Ye's program would invite Deng Lijun to be a mentor, she was shocked.

Will this really happen? That's Teresa Tang... Oh, she's his wife, so it's not surprising that he can invite Teresa Tang.

"I attended!"

Wang Fei likes to take unconventional paths, so she naturally agreed to such a fun thing.

"Very good, but I have to make it clear to you in advance that I cannot guarantee your ranking. If you lose to other singers, don't blame others."

"I see!"

In the history of Chinese variety shows, the first influential talent show was "Super Girl".

This show is a copy of "American Idol" by Mango TV and caused a huge sensation as soon as it was released.

The champion Chun Ge who was selected also became a unique legend in the history of Chinese pop culture and a symbol of popular culture at that time.

After Super Girl and Super Boy, singing programs have experienced two iterations, one was Taiwan’s "Chinese Star Boulevard" and the other was the "Voice of China" which was struck by thunder in Taiwan.

These three times have selected many well-known singers for the Chinese music scene.

It’s a pity that the record industry was dead at that time, and many talent shows, even if they selected very good singers, basically had no songs to sing.

Then, as the popularity of the show faded, it gradually fell into obscurity.

But the 1990s was the golden age of the record industry. If a super idol comparable to Chun Ge could be created through a talent show at that time.

That influence... Yang Ye couldn't imagine it.

What's more, Wang Fei's strength is much stronger than Chun Ge's.

Both of them are known for their strong personalities.

However, in terms of professional ability, Wang Fei's musical aesthetics, timbre, singing skills, and creative ability all crush Chun Ge in all aspects.

Some netizens like to belittle Wang Fei when talking about the music queens of the 1990s.

Either she is not as good as Sandy Lam, or she is not as good as Sally Yeh.

There are probably several reasons:
These people kind of worship Hong Kong and Taiwan, and since Wang Fei is from the mainland, they think he is unsophisticated.

Wang Fei has been divorced twice and has two children with two fathers. This makes many people unbearable and think that she is not a good woman.

There was once a comparison between Wang Fei and Coco Lee on the Internet.

The general idea is that Wang Fei chants Buddha's name every day, but he is actually very flirtatious, with two children and two fathers.

Although Li Wen appears to be very coquettish on stage, she is actually very traditional and has only had one husband in her life.

But Wang Fei lived more freely and transparently than anyone else. But Li Wen ended her own life. What kind of life do you like?

……

Wang Fei is known as the queen among divas, and it is not just an exaggeration.

Sally Yeh herself said that she had never been famous and the awards she won were those that others didn't want. Anita Mui retired and she was the only one at that age, so all the awards were given to her.

The problem with Sally Yeh is that she lacks individuality and style.

Anita Mui has a very strong personality and is known as the ever-changing queen. When she was active, Sally Yeh and Sandy Lam had to stand aside.

Sally Yeh relies entirely on the big names in the music industry to write songs for her, and she sings whatever they write.

Sandy Lam, who was of the same generation as him, was also unable to leave when she was in Hong Kong.

After going to Taiwan and joining forces with Leehom Wang, his career took off.

However, it was still too early for Sandy Lam to divorce Old Li. If she had endured a few more years and got more songs from Old Li, she would have become a legend.

A-mei’s problem is that Zhang Yusheng died too early.

When Zhang Yu was alive, A-mei was at the peak of her career.

When Yu Sheng died, the song she chose was really hard to describe.

To put it bluntly, my musical aesthetic is not good.

Compared to these divas, they will be out of business as soon as the producer is changed.

Only Wang Fei can do it no matter how many producers she changes, from Hong Kong to Taiwan and then to the mainland.

Because she always knows what she wants, she chooses producers and achieves mutual success with them.

Instead of relying on these people, we can't do without them.

As mentioned earlier, Wang Fei’s career is a process of continuous learning and absorption.

After 95, she started to create, from writing lyrics, to composing music, to production, and her style became more and more mature.

The release of the "Five-Part Fable" completely broke away from the scope of Hong Kong and Taiwan guava and became a school of its own.

People were shocked. What the hell? It turns out that songs can be sung like this? Music can be written like this? (End of this chapter)
