Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Gradually more and more records were recorded on the tapes.

From a lonely guitar to bass, drums, strings, piano... until Lao Lang's warm singing voice was added.

In the spring of 1991, Lao Lang completed the recording of his first album "Lian Lian Feng Chen", and the title song was the song of the same name "Lian Lian Feng Chen".

The reason why this song was chosen as the album's title song instead of "You, My Deskmate" is because there is a movie with the same name in Taiwan, and Priscilla Chan has a song with the same name, both of which are very famous.

You can rub both sides to make it easier to sell goods.

However, the song is not original, but a re-arrangement of a world-famous song "The Last Waltz".

Li Zhi took the sample tape and brought it into Yang Ye's office.

Yang Ye took a look and said, "Let's listen together!"

Li Zhi said happily, "Okay!"

She went out to make two cups of coffee, then put the record into the record player, and a moving piece of music flowed out like water.

Li Zhi sat in Yang Ye's arms, listening quietly:

That evening, white snow began to fall.

Sadness blooms all over the hills, waiting for youth to end.

Midnight movies are full of ancient romances.

Singing for the young in the darkness.

Let’s go, girls, and see the red sunrise.

Take my love song with you and sing it in the wind.

Dew drops hang on the tips of the hair, filled with transparent melancholy.

This was the first confusion in my life...

Next is the duet song "Want to Sing Me to You" by Lao Lang and Elva Hsiao.

Then came two songs contributed by Ai Dajin: "The Lover of the Wandering Singer" and "The Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk".

There are also some of Yang Ye’s previous singles that have not been compiled and published, including "When You Are Old", "On the Banks of Lake Baikal", "The One I Love", and "Birch Forest".

And Lao Lang sang "I Finally Lost You" on the stage of The Voice of China, which made countless people cry.

In addition, Li Zongsheng and Luo Dayou each wrote a new song for him.

Finally, it ends with a song "You, My Deskmate".

There are twelve songs in total, and every one of them is good. With this album, Lao Lang can be said to have bought retirement insurance.

……

The style of this album is relatively uniform, almost all of it is folk music, warm and pleasant, sad but not depressing.

Li Zhi listened quietly and exclaimed: "This album is really great."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a chill on her chest. It turned out that Yang Ye had unbuttoned her chest at some point, exposing her breasts to the air.

Li Zhi was both angry and amused, and couldn't help but complain: "Is it so fun?"

Yang Ye sighed and said, "Do you know why I hired you in the first place?"

Li Zhi said hesitantly, "Is it because of my... breasts?"

She couldn't help but feel a little depressed. She worked so hard every day to help Yang Ye, but what Yang Ye was interested in was her Nai Zi!
"I grew up in Kowloon Walled City and was raised by my grandparents. When I was little, I envied other children who were breastfeeding in their mothers' arms. After so many years, I finally had a full meal!"

Yang Ye said, pinching it twice, "biu biu!"

He sucked twice more, "Chirp!"

Yang Ye looked like a funny guy and a bit childish. For some reason, Li Zhi suddenly felt sorry for him.

So, she held Yang Ye's head with both hands and buried him in her arms.

Not afraid of suffocating Yang Ye!

……

After Yang Ye had eaten and drunk his fill, he tried to find a reason. He said, “This is only a secondary reason. The main reason is that you have an excellent resume and are very smart. I think you are qualified for this job. As it turns out, I was not wrong. You did a great job!”

This made Li Zhi feel a little better. If Yang Ye had admitted her just because of her pair of headlights, that would have been too frustrating.

Li Zhi said: "I have a question, if you liked me from the beginning, why didn't you..."

Yang Ye put away his cynical look and said seriously: "I won't touch you until I'm sure you are qualified for this job. And after I'm sure you are qualified for this job, you must be mine. Do you understand?"

Li Zhi thought about it and nodded. Although Yang Ye's secretary position was not high, it was extremely important.

Even the group's bosses had to give Lizhi some face and were polite when they saw her.

Yang Ye would not let outsiders take control of such a position. It must be his woman.

Hu Yinmeng followed Yang Ye for a long time before Yang Ye accepted her.

Li Zhi's fate will be the same as Hu Yinmeng's. She will be with Yang Ye for ten years, then retire from this position, give birth to a child for Yang Ye, and live a life of taking care of her husband and raising children.

At that time, Yang Ye will find another beautiful woman to continue to serve as his secretary.

Li Zhi didn't think too much about it, she only knew that Yang Ye had completely accepted her.

From now on, they have become a community of shared interests.

Li Zhi turned the topic back to work and said, "Most of this album is your work. The record company hopes you can write a copy for this album."

These days, records always have an introductory text on them.

This type of campus folk album is sold to students, so the text introduction is particularly important.

You can’t introduce it directly, that is, you can’t do hard advertising, you have to write soft articles.

It is best to write in poetic language and in a tone of whining, so that it can impress the students. Yang Ye thought about it, took a piece of paper, and wrote on it:

This is Lao Lang's first album.

Lao Lang is a person's name.

A name is a symbol

The symbol is a singing eye

There is your shadow in my eyes
Shadows dance where there is light

Feeling free when dancing

Freedom is a child's dream
Dreams walk like the wind

The journey of walking is... to be in love with the world!
……

After the production of "Lian Lian Feng Chen" was completed, the song began to be promoted on various platforms.

Through Star TV and "The Voice of China", the barriers between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the four regions have been broken down.

Once a Voice of China album is completed, it can be released simultaneously throughout the Chinese world.

For other record companies, this is a dimensionality reduction attack!

In this era, there are two ways to promote songs: one is the radio, the other is television.

If radio and television stations don't promote your songs, then basically no one will be able to hear them, no matter how well they are written or sung.

This model limits the channels for song publication and also filters out many bad songs.

Basically, all the songs that can be published have something interesting.

After the rise of the Internet, people can release their own songs and then spread them through the Internet.

It was at this time that everyone realized that ordinary people didn’t actually like these songs that had something interesting in them. They just passively accepted them before.

On the contrary, songs like "Mouse Loves Rice" that are considered shit by musicians can become popular all over the country and beat the songs produced by these musicians.

In an instant, the entire music scene changed. Many musicians couldn't adapt and started cursing, saying that all this was shit.

However, it was useless. For netizens, you can curse as you like, I listen to me, get out of here!

At this time, Yang Ye owned Asia Television, which dominated the Cantonese-speaking area, Star TV and Rediffusion TV, which could cover the entire Southeast Asia, and he also created ace programs such as "The Voice of China". The lifeline of the entire Chinese music scene was in his hands.

From now on, we will create stars in the second half of every year and release albums in the first half of the year, and the hot topics will cover the entire year.

After taking control of the platform, apart from some veteran singers who can still persist, it is difficult for newcomers outside of the "Voice of China" to emerge.

Other platforms also have to look at Yang Ye's face. If Yang Ye is unhappy with you, he only needs to stop his artists from appearing on your radio or TV station, and you're done for.

Yang Ye had done this before. Once, because a reporter discriminated against Zhu Lin based on her region, he directly ordered all the artists in the company not to accept interviews from that newspaper.

Whenever the newspaper reported news related to Yangji’s artists, it was sued for slander and defamation. Not long after, the newspaper went bankrupt.

This is a bit similar to that old guy Kitagawa. This is how Johnny's controlled the Japanese entertainment industry in the past, and almost no media dared to offend him.

Otherwise, once banned by Johnny's, life will be very difficult.

It’s just that Yang Ye’s attitude is relatively gentle, and he rarely does anything overbearing.

Unless you piss him off!
As for his romantic nature, his scandals with many female stars, and his illegitimate child, these things did not have much impact on him. Instead, they became a topic of conversation among ordinary people.

How boring it would be if such a talented man with both literary and martial talents were not romantic?

……

In the recording studio, Yang Yuying wore headphones, looked at Yang Ye shyly, and sang sweetly:

"I have heard your songs, my big brother. I understand your heart, your joys and sorrows."

Yang Ye stood aside and sang along:

"Can I ask your name, because you are my soulmate, and I have a new friend."

Yang Yuying: "I don't care if you remember my name, I just want to hear your new song and your voice."

Yang Ye: "I sincerely thank you for your kindness and your true love. I will use music to express this moment to you."

Yang Yuying: "May your voice always be with me."

Yang Ye: "I will try my best to accompany you with the most beautiful melody. Woo... accompany you!"

Yang Yuying: "Stay with me!"

"I've Heard Your Song", a song that was once sung all over the country, was used by Yang Ye as the chorus track in Yang Yuying's first album.

Yang Ye is serious about supporting his students, and he personally participated in the first albums of four students.

The original female voice of the song "I've Heard Your Song" is super sweet, even sweeter than Yang Yuying's.

Her voice is like a little girl next door singing in your ear, so kind, shy and extremely cute that when people hear it, the corners of their mouths can't help but curl up.

Unfortunately, this girl named He Ying was not a professional singer. She only sang this song and then disappeared. Even Wang Yan, who composed this song, could not find her. Everyone knows what she looks like.

Wang Yan later recalled that when he composed this song, he needed a female singer to sing with him.

However, given his fame, it is impossible for a famous female singer to sing with him.

At this time, a girl named He Ying was his fan, and the two of them recorded this song together.

The song became a huge hit after it was released, making Wang Yan famous overnight.

Unfortunately, after recording the song, He Ying went to work in a foreign company and never appeared again.

He Ying's photos and information have become a mystery. We can only imagine that she is beautiful through her pure and beautiful voice. (End of this chapter)
