Chapter 50, "I Want to Understand You Better" [Please read and vote]

Today, the 23rd Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony will be held at the Hong Kong Coliseum.

Both Shen Lang and Stefanie Sun were shortlisted for awards.

I am not sure whether I can win the award. The purpose of going there is to show my face, because Hong Kong is still a big market.

The sales of both of their albums in Hong Kong are only average, and their Mandarin songs suffer a lot.

Shen Lang plans to release at least one Cantonese album.

However, after the millennium, the Hong Kong music scene began to decline, and not many classic Cantonese songs were released every year.

Some songs, such as "Next Stop Queen", "Zhong Wuyan", "My Pride" etc., are not suitable for him to sing.

So I need some time to recall and pick out 10 songs, and then throw a bombshell into the Hong Kong music scene.

The Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Awards is hosted by Hong Kong Radio and is the oldest Chinese pop music awards event. It has been held since 1979 to honor musicians and music works in the Hong Kong pop music scene.

Since Hong Kong's return to China, singers from the mainland have started to be nominated.

There are more than one hundred stars from Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan present today. The fewest are from the mainland, namely Shen Lang, Tian Zhen, Na Ying, Sun Nan and Chen Ming.

The good thing is, no one returned empty-handed.

Tian Zhen won the silver medal for the National Most Popular Female Singer Award, and Na Ying won the bronze medal.

Sun Nan won the bronze medal for the National Most Popular Male Singer Award.

Chen Ming won the bronze medal for the National Most Popular Chinese Pop Song Award.

Shen Lang got more, but they were all small prizes.

The individual awards include the bronze medal for Most Promising New Male Singer. Interestingly, the gold medal went to Edison Chen and the silver medal went to Louis Koo.

Then "Ten Years" won the Outstanding Mandarin Song Award and the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Award.

Stefanie Sun also gained something, winning the Most Promising Newcomer Award.

The biggest winner tonight is Wang Jingfei.

She won six awards, including the Top Ten Outstanding Pop Singers Award, the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Award, the National Most Popular Female Singer Gold Award, the National Most Popular Chinese Pop Song Silver Award, the Global Chinese Most Popular Female Singer Award, and the Four-Station Joint Media Award.

Her position as the Queen of Pop is as stable as a rock.

After the award ceremony.

Stefanie Sun caught a flight back to Singapore. This time the separation was not as sentimental as the last time.

Du Ting stayed in Hong Kong. The Spring Festival was in three days, so she was given a holiday until the eighth day of the first lunar month.

Shen Lang and Tian Zhen returned to Yanjing on the same flight.

on the plane.

"Sister Tian, ​​I have a request that you may ask me. I hope you can do me a favor." After chatting for a while, Shen Lang started to talk about business.

"Don't be so polite with me, just tell me what you want." Tian Zhen's straightforward and heroic character is a double-edged sword.

"I'm preparing a new album. This time, it will focus on male and female duets. There will be 10 songs and 10 female singers..." Shen Lang said, taking out the music sheet and Walkman from his bag, and said, "I want you to sing this song."

"You... I thought it was a big deal, but this is it?" Tian Zhen laughed and said, "I really wanted to cooperate with you, so this is not me helping you, but you helping me."

After saying that, he took the song sheet and Walkman.

Put on your headphones and watch while listening.

A few days ago, Shen Lang and Stefanie Sun were not just having fun, they took the time to record demo versions of all 10 songs.

【——《I Want to Understand You Better》

Lyricist: Shen Lang

Composer: Shen Lang

Arranger: Shen Lang]

This is a song sung by Wilber Pan and Su Yu, released on June 2006, 6, expressing the estrangement between mother and son.

A few minutes later, Tian Zhen took off her headphones and joked, "I feel like an elder now."

Shen Lang just smiled and didn't respond.

Tian Zhen added: "You wrote this song very well. I like it. Sing it with me, what you just said."

Shen Lang smiled: "Of course."

Tian Zhen looked at him with a little more admiration in her eyes and said, "I didn't know you could sing rap."

Shen Lang scratched his hair and said modestly: "I am self-taught in music. It's quite diverse. I have dabbled in rock, electronic, folk, jazz, classical, dance and other types of music. I know a little bit."

Tian Zhen squinted at him and said, "That's just a little bit of what you know? Being too modest can turn into pride."

Shen Lang chuckled and said, "My '一' here means billion in billions." Tian Zhen was stunned for a moment, pondered it in his mind, understood it, and laughed, "Haha, you used the '亿' well."

The flight from Hong Kong to Shanghai and then to Yanjing took more than six hours. The two chatted happily as if they were old friends.

Shen Lang took advantage of being a time traveler and had a certain understanding of Tian Zhen, which was equivalent to treating her differently according to her personality.

"Anyway, it's fine after the sixth or seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Just pick a day and give me a call, and I'll come over."

"Okay, then Sister Tian, ​​goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Shen Lang said goodbye to Tian Zhen, went to the parking lot to drive his car out, and returned to the apartment.

February 1th, New Year’s Eve.

"Life is always full of troubles. I still haven't gotten used to it. People say money is a bastard, but it looks so good..."

Shen Lang put on his coat and scarf, hummed a little tune, went downstairs, stepped on the thick snow, and went to buy New Year's goods.

A person's life also needs a sense of ritual.

"Boss, how much is the pork belly?"

"Ten yuan a pound, how much do you want?"

"So expensive?"

"Brother, it's Chinese New Year, so the price must be different from usual. Look how beautiful this pork belly is. It's perfect for making braised pork or braised pork belly. Do you want some?"

"Give me 5 jin."

"Wouldn't you like more?"

"I'm alone, and I need another 3 pounds of spare ribs, 2 kidneys and 1 piece of pork liver."

"okay."

"Boss, cut the ribs into small pieces for me."

"Okay, it's New Year's Day, I'll cut it for you."

……

Shen Lang really likes to go to the big market. Although it is not as good as the big market in the countryside, it is also fun in its own way.

I walked around the market and bought a bunch of vegetables, fruits, pork and beef.

Fortunately, there are small carts for buying vegetables in the market, otherwise I wouldn’t know how to take these things back.

I also bought couplets and door gods at a small stall, and some beer, drinks and snacks at a small supermarket.

Seeing that there was no more room, I went back.

When Shen Lang was halfway there, his cell phone rang. As his hands were occupied, he was busy for a while before he was able to answer the call.

"Hey, Shen Lang, Happy New Year!"

"Let's have fun together."

As soon as I heard the soft and sticky voice, I knew it was Gao Yuanyuan.

Shen Lang could only talk to her so easily.

"I saw you on the Spring Festival Gala of Yanjing TV the other day. You were so handsome."

"My ears are callused from hearing it, can you please use some other words to praise me?"

"Then compliment you on how handsome and dashing you are? So suave and charming?"

Gao Yuanyuan was laughing on the other end of the phone.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and the piercing feeling swept through Shen Lang's whole body, causing him to shiver. He immediately said, "If everything is fine, I'll hang up first. I'll call you later. I'm outside."

Gao Yuanyuan subconsciously asked: "Have you returned home?"

"Home?" Shen Lang exhaled and said, "Wherever I am, that's home."

Gao Yuanyuan realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Shen Lang, that's not what I meant."

Shen Lang smiled and said, "It's okay, this is the truth. If you really feel bad, come and make me some New Year's Eve dinner."

"Ah?" Gao Yuanyuan paused, then asked, "You are in Yanjing?"
