Chapter 30 A good song is dedicated to you
"only you...
only you...."
"Good afternoon, listeners. Welcome to continue to listen to Commercial Radio 2. Well, it's time for our song-based program again. I am the disc jockey Huang Xinhua."
"Today's "A Song to Send My Heart" will have me reading out the singing messages from the audience's friends, listening to the songs they want to sing, and their feelings." DJ Huang Xinhua's magnetic voice slowly came from the radio.
Listening to songs on the radio has always been a favorite habit of citizens. They listen to whatever is played on the radio. If they want to hear the song they like, they write to the radio station and ask for it.
If a song accumulates a certain number of requests from listeners, the radio station will play the song in the sing-along program.
Of course, this is only one of them. Another reason is that they can use white tapes to record songs for free.
This is due to the flexible design minds of the Japanese people. They integrated the functions of the cassette recorder and the radio. This is like opening Pandora's box. Listeners can record songs on radio programs at will and even buy records.
Save money on tapes and tapes.
Although there are international laws prohibiting the duplication of radio programs, if you do not use the pirated radio programs for commercial profit-making purposes and only keep them for your own enjoyment and collection, you will naturally not be punished for violating the laws.
.
But pirates don't think about that. They record which songs are the most popular and then publish pirated versions for sale. This crazy behavior of pirates seriously infringes on the interests of record companies.
Therefore, RTHK and commercial stations must also meet the requirements of record companies, and the new generation of DJs such as Yu Zheng, Leshi, and Lin Shanshan will break their previous traditions.
He started a crazy anti-theft watermarking mode. He liked to make jokes and talk a lot of nonsense in the 15 seconds before the song was played, or in the middle. This method was so disgusting that the listeners and pirates who recorded the songs had to send a paragraph.
shit.
"Okay, without further ado, let's read the letters from the first ten audience members, ha..." Huang Xinhua opened the first letter and couldn't help but laugh.
He lightly covered the corner of his mouth, quickly flipped through the next few pages, then raised his head and looked at the program producer outside the glass window with questioning eyes. The producer made an OK gesture towards him, indicating that the program was proceeding normally.
"Okay, next I will share some interesting roll-call messages from friends who wrote in to me." Huang Xinhua coughed lightly, straightened his sitting posture, and began to enter the state seriously.
"The first listener friend is called Tang Bohu. He lights up the mosquito coils and wants to play a song "Blissful" for Miss Wang Mary to listen to. I wish her eternal youth..."
"The second audience friend is called Liang Shanbo who lives on the balcony...
“The third friend is called Romeo’s Sleepover with the Pig….
...
"The tenth listener friend is called Zhu Ye. I hope you can play a blessing song for Hongdou girl to listen to. I hope she will pay attention to the song and wish her success in honeymoon."
Huang Xinhua used his strong professionalism to hold back his laughter and read out these weird names one by one, but he almost suffered internal injuries.
After finally waiting until the music was played and the rice peak was cut, Huang Xinhua covered his stomach, leaned on the table, and laughed loudly and gracelessly in the studio.
Even this professional broadcast host couldn't help but laugh. It is conceivable that the audience friends who were standing by the radio almost laughed until their lungs were crooked.
They have not been baptized by the Internet age, and their laughter point is relatively low. It is easy to get their laughter point with such fresh and interesting things.
Well, these little tricks are part of Lu Dongjie's wide net. Who wants to have dysentery if they have hair?
The main reason was that the cooperation between Lu Dongjie and the radio station was not in agreement, but he did not want to give up, so he had no choice but to make this decision.
Currently, the first place to promote records and albums is mainly through radio or television.
Whenever a singer wants to promote a new song, the record company or management company will ask someone to record the song into a CD or audio tape, and send it to every radio station for free, asking them to play it regularly.
This disc will be called a white disc or a demo tape, and the industry term is called paitai. In Cantonese, "pai" means distribution. Therefore, this kind of song is called a paitai song.
In addition to some songs that are promoted by record companies and radio stations, the other type is the favorite songs that are promoted by radio DJs, that is, disc jockeys, who are responsible for promoting to listeners.
For example, "All the Way with Ray", the longest-running TV program in Hong Kong hosted by the famous disc jockey Uncle Ray, recommends classic English songs to listeners on the program.
Speaking of Uncle Ray, we have to say that he is a godfather figure in the Hong Kong music industry. He single-handedly discovered and supported Teddy Robin & the Playboys, who were all-powerful in the music scene.
The album God of Fortune that Lu Dongjie wants to release is a small disc, while "Happy Years" produced by Fengxing Records is a large album, but the market target group that everyone wants to compete for is the same.
Originally, Lu Dongjie wanted to play gongs and drums with him on the radio, facing him in the ring for the first round.
But when Lu Dongjie brought the demo to others, he shook his head and refused. It was not that the quality of Lu Dongjie's disc was not good, but that his album was too similar to others' "Happy Years". Popular Records gave him
The publicity fee was enough to allow the radio station to promote it.
If we continue to engage in such a self-indulgent business, it will not only violate business ethics and ethics, but also give people an ugly, profit-seeking image. It is simply destroying our own reputation.
In desperation, Lu Dongjie had no choice but to adopt a roundabout strategy of encircling the city from the countryside. At this time, the people in Xiangjiang were watching TV and radio programs, except those provided by Wireless, Li's, Jiayi, RTHK, and Commercial Channel on Mount Wutai.
There is another one called Green Radio.
Although this is a private radio station located on the other side of the Haojiang River, its radio frequency is enough to cover most of the Xiangjiang area.
Tai Ping Village is a wooden house area located in Tiu Keng Ling on the east side of Kwun Tong. The word "Tiao Keng" is adapted from the Cantonese word "hanging neck".
This is a special area that even the Hong Kong government has difficulty in managing. It is home to many veterans who were defeated during the civil war. It has been hung with red flags all year round.
Every Double Ten Festival, lanterns are decorated, archways are built, and grand celebrations and flag-raising ceremonies are held.
Tiu Keng Ling bears witness to Hong Kong’s history of serving as a political refuge.
"Thin pressure may not necessarily be waterproof...Customers are welcome to come and buy. The address is the watch counter of Xianshi Department Store, Li Po Chun Building, Central..." A series of radio advertisements came from the radio in an open iron house.
"Third brother, before dad goes out, I told you to pay attention to the New Year's song on the radio and record it, so that we don't have to buy new tapes this year." A little girl with two pigtails held her chin in boredom, staring blankly.
He looked at his brother who was concentrating on his homework.
"I understand." My brother didn't even raise his head and continued writing furiously.
"Third brother, did you listen to me? Dad wants you to record Jinqiu and Ajie's New Year's song." The little girl felt that her brother didn't pay attention to what she said, so she said angrily.
"The songs about pretending to be autumn are all out of date. They are played every day by Hong Kong and commercial stations. They are not good at all. In the past two days, my brother found that the New Year songs played by Green Radio are very good. We will record that one." The third brother raised his head and gave him a hand.
Wearing glasses, looking at Qimei pouting in anger, he couldn't help but smile and rub her head.
"This news briefing is over..." The radio had just finished playing the news program, and the boy quickly put his homework aside.
Then he took out a box of newly purchased white tapes, put it into the tape recorder, and prepared to start recording. In the past two days, he had figured out the regular frequency of songs played on this radio station.
Just as the boy was very proud and started to show his sister the interesting new world he had discovered in the past two days, he heard the prelude of a different song coming from the radio than the previous two days. What the hell is this? The boy couldn't help but look a little disappointed.
