Chapter 40 Conquer Xiangjiang!

The Chinese team's first group semi-final is on January 3, and they will spend New Year's Day in Hong Kong this year.

TVB invited the Chinese team to be guests at their New Year's party on New Year's Day in advance, and revealed without any trace that there would be big red envelopes that night.

This time, the Ministry of Sports quickly agreed to the invitation and allowed the Chinese team to be a group guest at TVB's New Year's party, but half of the red envelope had to be handed over.

When TVB saw that the Chinese team agreed, they immediately kicked the bucket.

They hope that Wu Jie can come on stage to interact at the party, mainly because they want him to perform some football skills, such as doing a cool fancy ball flip.

TVB will also arrange for several of its big names to support him, so that everyone can get a lot of exposure and the program will not be bad.

But they didn't expect Wu Jie to refuse immediately because he wanted to perform a male solo at the party!

This made TVB's assistant director very confused. Wu Jie didn't say much and sang a cappella a short section of the Mandarin version of "Glory Days" that he had already copied in front of the assistant director who came to invite him.

He really has no interest in things like "debuting", and it's not "really good". The main thing is that making some music doesn't take too much time for him, he can just copy it!

But the effect is extraordinary, because most Asian football fans in this era are male, and there are very few real female fans.

Although he has an outstanding appearance, compared with those top actors, he has an advantage in terms of figure. In terms of pure appearance, he has no advantage compared with Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau, or earlier Zheng Shaoqiu, Ti Lung, and David Chiang.

But it's different if "music" is added. This combination allows him to convert countless female fans who have never watched a football game into his own fans.

Not only are these female fans huge in number, but once he successfully converts them, they are even more fanatical than male fans and are extremely loyal and tolerant.

At that time, his fans and fan groups will transform into each other, and they will inevitably grow to an incredible extent, and his influence will also be incredible!

In a country like the United States, he would not run for president, but there would definitely be no problem in electing a governor.

In addition, there is another advantage. If Luda can also engage in music together (80% of NBA stars have released albums), the two of them can influence many things, such as changing the impression and attitude of many Hong Kong people and even Taiwanese people towards the mainland.

He still remembers that after the NBA incident, some domestic fans behaved in a very embarrassing manner, but this huge influence is the goal he wants to achieve.

So after the Asian Cup, he would always deliberately read and play with a book in front of others during his break, and he would also play a few times on the guitar he bought from Hong Kong.

This is to give people the impression that he really loves learning and music, so as not to suddenly write a few songs to make people suspicious.

But in fact, he just taught himself basic music theory knowledge through the offline Internet and was able to read music.

Wu Jie is fortunate that both he and Luda have good voices, and both of them have very good innate timbres.

He had a good voice in his previous life. When he was playing basketball, he was always pressed to the ground because of his physical talent, but as soon as he got to KTV, he could immediately hit hard.

Music depends on talent. As long as you are born with good timbre, a good voice that God will give you, and no problem with listening, you can practice for a year and a half and find an awesome million-dollar tuner.

album.

The song "Glory Days" that Wu Jie sang a cappella in front of TVB's assistant director was the Mandarin version. There is certainly a gap between his singing skills and professional singers, but with the experience of being a KTV star in his previous life and a good voice, at least he is considered good as an amateur.

, much better than those sound card internet celebrities in previous lives.

The key is that this song is very nice. In this era, even the Japanese music scene has not entered a period of rapid development, let alone the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene, which has been copying Japanese popular songs to survive.

As soon as his song "Glory Days" came out, TVB's deputy director didn't believe it was a song written by a football player.

But the facts are right in front of us. The melody of this song is so beautiful, and the lyrics are even more inspirational and touching. The climax can not only ignite people's fighting spirit, but also awaken a trace of blood that has been cooled by reality.

The assistant director hurriedly recorded Wu Jie's song and showed it to the chief director. The latter also couldn't believe it was a song written by Wu Jie. After receiving confirmation, he booked the show on the spot.

So Wu Jie got the opportunity to sing alone at the TVB New Year's Eve party. Unsurprisingly, this was his first pot of gold.

This song will not only make him extremely popular in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia, but it will also give him the opportunity to release a single record. If it sells well, it will be a big sum.

On the evening of December 31st, TVB held a New Year party.

Wu Jie deliberately spent half an hour combing his natural and full oiled hair (refer to Tony Leung Chiu Wai), and put on a Chinese men's suit tailor-made by a master in Beijing (refer to Jet Li). This outfit matched his exquisite three-dimensional facial features, and a pair of

His big melancholy eyes sucked in the souls of countless Hong Kong ladies as soon as he entered the camera.

This Chinese-style men's clothing is a new Qi brand men's clothing launched in 2019 that he searched on offline Baidu. The overall design is full of Chinese elements. The finishing touch of the Chinese stand-up collar reveals a unique spirit of Chinese clothing culture.

In 1981, it was definitely a new trend across the ages.

After Wu Jie appeared in this epoch-making Chinese stand-up collar, he immediately attracted the attention of the audience, especially those in front of the TV, because this Chinese men's clothing was so unique, especially in front of a group of Hong Kong celebrities wearing suits.

It's as dazzling as standing out from the crowd.

But the most important thing about this outfit is to highlight the words "handsome" and "stylish". Wu Jie's outstanding figure makes this unique Chinese stand-up collar look more perfect, successfully creating a resolute temperament that is not common in Chinese clothing, but upon closer inspection

There is also the demeanor of a gentleman who does not conform to the world and stands proudly in the face of adversity in life.

Of course, these are just superficial appearances. Wu Jie soon proved that he is a first-rate artist with a plagiarized Mandarin version of "Glory Days".

I say this because a foreigner who hates China once said: Third-rate artists imitate and first-rate artists plagiarize, so he must plagiarize ruthlessly.

Hong Kong people originally thought that he was going to perform football-related talents on the show, but they didn't expect that the lights dimmed immediately after Wu Jie came on stage, and a group of newly debuted TVB female artists behind him rushed up to start dancing for him.

Wu Jie was complaining in his heart. He thought there was something wrong with the brains of Hong Kong people? This must be a disease!

This is obviously a soulful and inspirational song, and the rhythm is also of a soothing type.

Why did TVB find a group of new artists who are dressed in hot and revealing clothes and whose dancing skills are very good to dance behind his back?

But I'm sorry, the Hong Kong party is such a mess. It doesn't matter what song you sing, even if you sing a sad music, I will get you a group of hot backup dancers to dance behind you, and they dance very poorly.

, this is a traditional art!

Wu Jie then took the guitar handed over by Wang Mingquan and was ready to start his performance.

Hong Kong citizens were even more surprised when they saw this scene. Isn't he a football star? Why is he still singing? Is this not playing the piano randomly?

However, when Wu Jie opened his voice, everyone's first reaction was "amazing", and then "it sounds great"!

This is not to say that Wu Jie's singing skills are awesome. Luo Wen and Lin Zixiang are still sitting in the audience.

The main thing is that the beautiful and melodious melody of "Glory Days" immediately made the eyes of the 1981 audience light up and their ears were firmly held in an instant!

This effect is not surprising. This song was popular in Japan in the 1990s, but it must have been a dimensionality reduction blow when it was released in Hong Kong in 1981!

Although Wu Jie's singing skills are only at amateur level, his vocal cords are extremely elastic, have a delicate and lustrous tone, are both explosive and penetrating, and have good toughness and magnetism.

The most important thing is that the quality of the song itself is so high, both the melody and the lyrics are rare classics.

Wu Jie was able to sing this song with emotion again. As the song entered its climax, all the singers at the scene looked at each other with expressions of shock and disbelief that could not be concealed!

But not only did they find it hard to believe that this was a song composed, written, and sung by a football player, but even the members of the Chinese team who were sitting in the audience at the party were all staring with big eyes!

"Did I hear you correctly? Young Master Wu still has this skill?"

"This is really unexpected!"

"I said, haven't you seen him playing the guitar often?"

"That's true, he even bought a piano last time!"

"You don't want to think about it. We play cards and mahjong outside of training, but Wu Jie is watching and writing songs!"

"..."

Wu Jie's previous pretense really worked. He no longer had to do it himself. These teammates could explain to the public afterwards why he played football well and had such high musical attainments.

At this time, the Hong Kong audience in front of the TV didn't care that much. They had already been attracted by Wu Jie's beautiful voice, especially this catchy Mandarin song.

When Wu Jie finished singing the five-minute song, the audience immediately heard calls of "Sing it again" and "Sing it again"!

"That's a beautiful thought!"

Of course Wu Jie will not sing it again. Anyone who wants to listen can just spend money to buy the record.

When everyone saw that he was not going to sing again, there was another burst of applause, and the stars in the front row all stood up and cheered for him!

Wu Jie could see the young Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung cheering loudly, and Luo Wen and Lin Zixiang standing next to them also stood up and clapped vigorously.

Alan Tam, a true fan, even wore his jersey and rushed to the stage with excitement on his face and stretched out his arm to shake his hand.

Of course Wu Jie did not fulfill this simple wish of classmate Tan. He just waved his hand towards the audience, very cold and big-name!

At this time, the lights on the stage were turned back on. While the hosts He Shouxin and Wang Mingquan were praising, they walked next to Wu Jie and started a flattering session.

The song "Glory Days" naturally became the focus of their conversation. At this time, the pretty Wang Mingquan said: "Wu Jie, we all know that you are a genius on the football field, but we didn't expect that you are also a talented singer. This song

The song really makes people feel that their souls have been hit hard. Even a girl like me who doesn’t watch football can feel a kind of persistence and struggle for dreams. But I still want to ask, is this song really about you?

Composing lyrics and music?”

Wu Jie didn't blink an eyelid and said decisively: "This is a song I wrote based on my feelings after the Asian Cup."

"Oh, I wonder where your inspiration comes from, can you tell us?" He Shouxin asked immediately.

"After the Asian Cup, I could be said to have become famous at that time. Everyone knew me when I walked on the street. But I found that everyone only cared about my success and only asked me what I wanted to do after I succeeded.

People want to know how I achieved success? No one cares about what I put in before I succeeded!"

When Wu Jie said this, he sighed, adjusted his posture perfectly to the camera, so that he could be more included in the frame, and then continued his performance.

"But I know very well that it takes countless blood and sweat before success. Behind every glorious achievement, there will be a period of loneliness and pain. It is a silent time. But I think this period is the real life.

Glory Days, this is also the origin of the song's title. What I want to convey is not the glory after a person succeeds, but your persistence and struggle for your dreams when no one cares."
