Chapter 488 The Voice of Asia 1

Chen Qi didn't know that Taiwan's film industry was in a state of uproar due to the Golden Bear Award.

?????

Seeing that May was approaching, he was going to Shanghai to visit Gong Xue's parents. Before leaving, he had to make arrangements for his work here.

The promotion of "Tai Chi 3" has started. This time, it didn't do the tricks before and it is more satisfactory. As the saying goes, "Tai Chi" has three parts in three years, and the audience's interest in this series only faltered in the last one.

.

"Tai Chi 3" breaks away from the historical narrative of the first two parts and inherently lacks a sense of depth. It creates a "Twelve Nations Indiscriminate Comprehensive Martial Arts Arena Tournament" with the theme of fighting, beating the Chinese and beating the foreigners.

Of course, in terms of action choreography, the level is even better. Chen Qi's expectation for it is 18-20 million.

Lam Ling-tung has become a very busy man, preparing "Happy Ghost 2" and "Fatal Express" at the same time. Chen Musheng was inserted into "Fatal Express" as an errand boy, and he enjoyed it.

The story of this film is probably: Li Lianjie was a delivery boy. One day he delivered a package and found that it was a living person. He couldn't help but open it and take a look. Qiu Shuzhen was inside. She played the daughter of a gang boss.

My father offended another boss, who kidnapped Qiu Shuzhen and pretended to ask for a ransom, but actually wanted to sell her to Europe. The big villain was played by Rong Guang.

Yu Rongguang is from Beijing, and his father is a Peking Opera actor.

He started studying martial arts when he was 11 years old. After watching "Shaolin Temple", he came up with the idea of ​​making a movie. He took the Nortel training course but failed. Later, he was spotted by Xu Xiaoming and starred in "Kapok Suit". He was the second male villain.

, the result is better than the male protagonist.

This may be his characteristic: when he plays the first male lead, he can't stand it, but when he plays the second male lead, he is very eye-catching.

It was still early for the filming of "Deadly Express" to start, so Chen Qi asked him to come to Hong Kong in advance, firstly to prepare for the promotion of "The Kapok", and secondly to get familiar with the working environment in Hong Kong, and they were also familiar with Li Lianlian.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Xiao Chen? Oh, a big box of something!"

That night, Shi Hui opened the door and saw Chen Qi coming in with two big boxes. He hurriedly took one, and Fu Mingxian rushed over: "Brother, what are these?" "Clothes!"

"What are you bringing the clothes for? Did you buy them for me?" "It's none of your business, just go and have fun!"

Chen Qi opened the box and said with a smile: "Since the boss told me about the marriage, I have started to prepare. I have ordered three sets of clothes for Sister Xue. Please help me check the details!" "You are so casual on the surface, but you are actually more careful than anyone else.

urgent."

Fu Qi also came over and looked at the clothes. One was a lady's suit and trousers, which were fashionable and neat. The other was a red cheongsam. The last one was not finished, only a big photo, it was a Western wedding dress.

"When are you going to wear this?" Shi Hui asked.

"Wear one for taking photos, one for receiving relatives, and one for dinner."

"Not bad, not bad. The styles are very beautiful. Little Gong will look good in it... Old man, look at this waist. Little Gong's waist is too thin. I can't do it. I'm getting older..." Shi Hui pinched the waist of the cheongsam.

, let Fu Qi look at it, Fu Qi was extremely skillful: "You are the most beautiful at any age!"

The two were messing around, and Fu Mingxian said angrily: "Brother, do you really want to get married?" "Yes!"

"That, that, that..."

With her parents here, she didn't dare to say anything shocking. Chen Qi smiled and rubbed her head, but didn't take it to heart. A 13-year-old brat, I'm not a pervert! "Xiao Chen, here in Hong Kong Who are you going to invite?" Shi Hui asked.

"You just go." "And Kusuo!"

"Oh yes, there are Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng, four people are enough."

"Yes, if you invite a group of Hong Kong celebrities to attend the wedding, it will not be good both internally and externally." Fu Qi nodded. "Then when will you go back?"

"Let's go to the 30th. I'll go to Sister Xue's house on May 1st. I made an appointment." "Then you are too busy!"

"I can't help it, I have been promised to the country!" I promise you a big head!

Fu Mingxian hummed.

Hong Kong pop music developed rapidly in the 1980s, and record companies flourished, with PolyGram and China Star being the most popular. PolyGram is a label jointly established by the German company Polydor and Philips.

China Star is a record company under TVB. Last year, it held the "TVB8 Global Chinese Rookie Singing Competition". Anita Mui won the championship and signed contracts with China Star. Leslie Cheung and Luo Wen were also signed to China Star.

In the 1980s, these two companies defeated Warner, Sony, EMI, etc., competing for hegemony. The last thing Chen Qi did before returning home was not movies, but music.

On the last day of April, Hong Kong EMI Records welcomed an unexpected guest. General Manager Zheng Bogao personally received him and led Chen Qi to visit the company and explain everything. He was very surprised to learn that Mr. Chen was coming. After the surprise, he was very calm and cooperated! Not surprising.

After wandering around for a while, the two entered the recording studio. Inside, there was a man in his 30s recording a song. He sang with a ferocious expression, emotional and vigorous. "Can I listen to it?"

"Please!"

Chen Qi picked up his earphones and listened to the Cantonese song, "Aha, I want to fly to the sky... Aha, it's like a bird flying that day..." He took off his earphones and commented: "The smell of cream is very strong, Western Style of music."

"Mr. Chen is so knowledgeable!"

Zheng Bo gave high praise and said: "This man's name is Lu Guanting. He went to Seattle when he was very young and grew up listening to the Beatles and Bob Dylan. He was fired from his job as a resident singer in a hotel." "Then how did you do it?" Did you like him?"

"I can't help it, his girlfriend is Miss Tang..."

After Zheng Bogao finished speaking, he explained: "Tang Jiyao's granddaughter, introduced by Miss Tang Shuchen."

"I speak straightforwardly, Mr. Zheng, don't mind. EMI is a big international company after all. How did it get to this point? You can't even produce a leading singer?"

"EMI used to make Mandarin records in Shanghai. When we came to Hong Kong, we still made Mandarin records. A few years ago, there was a boom in interest in Cantonese songs. PolyGram signed Kwan Ching-kit, Sam Hui, Alan Tam... one step ahead, one step at a time!"

Zheng Bogao shook his head and sighed, and asked Chen Qi to go to the office to discuss in detail.

Chen Qi looked back at Lu Guanting. He still has some hair now, not bald. This person has a very strange music experience. He has scored movies and written songs that are very popular. However, when he releases his own albums, he often hits the streets because his music is too niche.

.

Just to name a few of his masterpieces, he wrote the theme song "The Love of My Life" in "Westward Journey", Chow Yun-fat's Dangdang music in "God of Gamblers", and "Looking Back Again".

In short, it’s okay to write for others, but it’s too artistic to do it yourself.

Before EMI, Lin Zixiang, Chen Baiqiang, and Luo Wen all quit, and the situation was rather embarrassing. There were no big singers in charge, only Lisa Teresa, Ye Liyi, and Ye Zhentang to support the scene.

The two entered the office, and Chen Qi said directly: "I want to expand the music business, but lack the relevant resources. I want to jointly set up a record company with you." "What are the specific methods?"

"The total capital is 3 million. According to the capital contribution ratio, I have seven shares and you have three shares. You are responsible for album production and distribution, and I will handle the promotion." "Where is the singer?"

"Liu Dehua!" "Alone?"
Chapter completed!
