Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

Following Sister Guan's words, Zhao Donghuai glanced at her speechlessly. He didn't explain. Do you need to explain? It’s just copying songs, who the hell can’t do that?

What's more, he, who didn't understand music music at first and could only sing in KTV, was still cheating.

He waved to the attendant and asked the other party to bring his backpack, then took out a notepad and said to Zhang Guorong, "Ah Rong, I asked you to sing without intending to give you money, so I wrote a song for you. Take a look. how do you feel?"

When he turned to a certain page and handed it to Zhang Guorong, Ah Rong was obviously in a daze. He asked me to sing a song without paying him, but to give him a song as a reward? This director is really straightforward and candid.

But he likes people who are straightforward and frank. At least he doesn't have to make a movie with a director like he agreed to do many years ago. Only after signing the contract did he find out that it was a restricted movie.

That time he was almost tricked to death, and it has been a shadow for many years. Oh, and he was also involved in that incident with A Le's daughter-in-law Huang Xingxiu.

After politely thanking him, he took the notepad and flipped through it. Looking at the jumping notes of the musical notation, Zhang Guorong hummed softly as he looked at it. It was still unfamiliar the first time, but he soon became familiar with it and fell into the rhythm.

Even as he hummed, he felt ignited.

This is the soundtrack that Director Zhao copied from [Transformers 1] when the Autobots landed on Earth, Arrival To Earth, also called Arrival on Earth.

A bunch of Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, descended from the sky in "personal flight cabins". The soundtrack combined with the pictures was indeed quite burning, shocking, magnificent and majestic.

Humming, Ah Rong was a little out of breath. He grabbed the mineral water and took a sip. He was surprised and said, "So strong? But it feels like it's not the energy of ordinary singing and dancing, but that kind of... that kind of... "

He couldn't describe it for a while, but he quickly fell in love with this song.

In his later generations, Zhang Guorong became very famous and had a very high status in the music scene. He was the originator of popular singing and dancing in the Hong Kong music scene. He is the descendant of all cities and towns.

But when Zhao Donghuai heard the songs and dances that made him famous and even established his status, he felt it was just ordinary and not exciting enough when he heard it before he time traveled. That's because before he time traveled, Ah Rong's era had long passed.

Those exciting songs and dances have been eliminated by the times, and they are not as good as the theme songs of "The Wind Keeps Blow", "Love of the Past" and "A Chinese Ghost Story".

These songs are also his famous songs, but when he was most popular, the popularity of these songs was far less than those of those powerful songs and dances.

After taking a sip of water, Zhao Donghuai said with a smile, "I originally planned to use it in my movie, such as when the protagonist rises up and kills everyone. I only found out after it was created that it was a bit inappropriate."

Li Zicheng led his subordinates to kill everyone. Kill competitors, kill police, kill enemies, etc., kill all the people indiscriminately and get the upper hand. It is indeed not very coordinated for you to land on the earth with Transformers 1, Zhuzi, and a team of Autobots.

This kind of burning method is not quite right.

"Also, after composing this song, I discovered that it is more appropriate to use electronic music and symphony to complement each other's achievements, so that the performance can achieve that kind of momentum and pattern."

"It's just a song without words. It's called Landing or Arrival. If you're satisfied, it's your reward for singing! You can put it in the next album or the next one."

After explaining, Zhang Guorong's expression became a little weird again, and he nodded, "No problem, it's settled."

He has never heard of this song, and he is not sure whether it is Zhao Donghuai's original work. As a singer from the 1970s and 1980s, isn't it normal that he has not heard all the music in the world?

But he heard from Wan Ziliang that this was the director of a large crew who invested 5 million.

Such a director should not lie to people about this kind of thing, and it can be retrieved afterwards.

A few times before, he had fallen in love with the burning feeling. It’s too normal to sell songs with only music or lyrics.

Otherwise, why would there be the Brilliant Group, and later Lin Xi and Wu Lecheng? Milk tea should also be paired with a Wenshanjun.

After thinking about "landing" or "arrival" for dozens of seconds, Zhang Guorong smiled and said, "Director, there are really not many people like you who ask for songs. It's easy for us all like you. Could it be that you invited Brother Allen?" , also sending songs??”

Zhao Donghuai laughed, "I have prepared a song, but I don't know if Allen agrees with it. Can you help me take a look?"

After saying that, he took back the notepad and turned to the piece of paper called Midnight Serenade. Midnight Serenade was made famous by Hacken Lee in 1987 and was a cover of the Japanese singer Nahoko Kawai.

Now try to hand it to Tan Yonglin in 1983... save money.

The most important thing is, as he said when he first tried playing the piano at TVB City, Hong Kong music stars cover the island's songs and they are basically digested by the same record company.

Both Tan Yonglin and Hacken Lee are from PolyGram, and they are covered by multinational groups. A dish is sold for two cents, and it is much better to praise one's own singers than to praise outsiders.

Without the background of a big company, what can you do whatever you want? Even if you can, you still have to pay money and run various transactions.

This song is based on Nahoko Kawai's song, with a simple arrangement and lyrics.

Is this one of Hacken Lee's masterpieces in his singing career? Give it to Principal Tan... Forget it, Ah Li will talk about it later.

Why did Zhao Donghuai invite him by sending him a song? Instead of selling? The music scene in Hong Kong at this time was very popular, with the famous lyricist Zheng Guojiang and the kings and queens who started to cooperate with him in the 1970s.

Another lyricist, Da Niu Huang Zhan, also regarded Zheng Guojiang as a powerful enemy.

How much do you think a poem by Zheng Guojiang costs? Usually it’s 3,000 yuan for a song, and this is still a famous person!

Of course, a lyricist can earn more than just 3,000 yuan per sale of lyrics. When the song becomes popular, whether it is selling records, being featured in karaoke or karaoke bars, or being sung by many fans, you can receive some royalties.

Subsequent royalties are the bulk of the income.

But the copyright fee takes too long. If he sells a song, he will receive one or two thousand yuan in advance? Waiting for a year and a half, and then a few years later, the royalties will slowly come back? That's too slow!

If I have time to go to my sister's house and buy another batch of waste paper, I can make more money. At most, buying and selling waste paper is likely to cause conflicts with people in the community.

Inviting Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong was also because of their appeal in the music world, and to warm up the promotion of the movie. Not to mention that movie promotion is very important in later generations, it is also very important now. Many people know that the box office of "Heroes" exploded, and Zhou Yunfa took advantage of it to fly into the sky.

But I guess very few people know that Ah Fa went on TVB every day to promote the program before the release of A Better Hero. TVB’s promotional programs are not any better than those of The Next Generation, such as Hometown.

Liu Dehua, one of the Five Tigers, acted like his chest was broken by a boulder, Qiu Guan's daughter-in-law acted like she stepped on an egg weighing 100 or 200 kilograms, Liang Chaowei acted like pulling a car with his teeth...

This was TVB's basic practice in the 1980s.

It’s no wonder that in the 1980s, in the eyes of many wealthy families, the status of TV and movie stars was very low, and they could not appear on the stage. This was no different from performing acrobatics on the streets at night markets, except for performing on TV stations.

Director Zhao gets a toothache just thinking about this kind of publicity. It's impossible for him to perform such a weird show anyway. When New World is released, Fa Tsai, A Wei, Wan Ziliang and others should perform.

By the way, it would be more reliable to let Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong appeal to their fans.

Zhang Guorong continued to sing the adapted version of Midnight Serenade, first getting familiar with it several times and then reading the lyrics. After a few minutes, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Is this adapted from the island singer? It doesn't matter, his current famous style continues, and he also adapted Yamaguchi Momoe.

He felt that this midnight serenade "seems like I can fuck me." Now Zhang Guorong is signed to China Star Records, a subsidiary of TVB.
