Chapter 86 Fly Higher
Dear brothers and sisters, please collect and recommend!
Wang Ben looked at the four-seater seat, which was obviously not enough for Tan Yonglin and the others to sit. It was impossible to wait until they came and let them stand and talk! Wang Ben found a waiter, found a round table in the lobby, moved the wine and food, and waited for their arrival.
In less than two minutes, Zheng Shaoqiu brought Tan Yonglin, Chen Baixiang and the others. The six losers band now, in addition to the four of the later Wen Na Wuhu, there are also two brothers Chen Baixiang and Chen Baisheng. Now Ah B and Tan Yonglin and the others don’t know each other yet.
Wang Ben waved to Tan Yonglin and the others and smiled: "Hello, I am Wang Ben."
When they saw Wang Ben greeting them, Tan Yonglin, Chen Boxiang and the others were all very excited.
Wang Ben was almost promoted as a legendary figure in Hong Kong. His entrepreneurial struggle in Hong Kong has long been well known to Hong Kong citizens. In particular, the newspapers learned from where Wang Ben and Shaw Brothers and Jiahe box office share contracts and began to calculate Wang Ben's assets. After this calculation, everyone was shocked. Based on the existing box office data, they calculated that after the movie ended, Wang Ben's assets could easily reach the level of tens of millions by relying on the movie box office share.
In just a few months, Wang Ben went from a pauper to a millionaire who swam from a mainland. This was even more exciting than the legendary stories in novels and movies!
Countless Hong Kong citizens, especially young people, regard Wang Ben as an idol role model. They all encourage themselves with Wang Ben. As long as they work hard, they will one day be able to make a name for themselves.
It can be said that Wang Ben is already well-known in Hong Kong, and his popularity is definitely greater than that of the newly appointed Governor McLeho.
"Hello, Mr. Wang!" several people greeted in unison.
Wang Ben smiled and said, "Everyone sit there, don't be polite."
Tan Yonglin and the others talked about guitar, put the drums aside, and sat up around the table.
Chen Boxiang is a bit stunning and smart and cheerful person. He smiled and said to Wang Ben: "Mr. Wang, we are all your book fans and fans. We especially like Mr. Wang's songs "Looking for Qin" and "Red Sun".
Wang Ben looked at these young and excited faces and couldn't help but smile. Tan Yonglin, Chen Baixiang and the others were only about twenty years old, and they were very passionate. They couldn't hide things in their hearts, and they could almost see their depth at a glance. Wang Ben smiled and said, "Don't be polite first. I guess you haven't eaten yet, so you just happened to eat with us. Everyone eats and chats."
Wang Ben and Tan Yonglin and others were chatting while eating. Wang Ben said witty words like beads, telling them all kinds of jokes from later generations and brain teasers. Tan Yonglin and others had never heard of these funny things, and were often amused by Wang Ben's jokes. For a moment, the atmosphere on the dining table became very harmonious.
Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Wang Ben mentioned the important matter.
Wang Ben put down his chopsticks, looked at Tan Yonglin and the others and said, "Alun, Ala, I don't know what you think about the future of the band. Do you have any plans?"
Hearing Wang Ben's words, several people in the band became silent. Although the band seemed to be quite glorious, only they themselves knew the pain. After participating in the Hong Kong Youth Music Festival this year, it seemed that they had achieved good results, but when they wanted to sign a record company, Polydo refused them. Failed to join the record company, which means that they are still an amateur band, which means that they cannot produce records. They cannot produce records, which means that their income has no source of income and no future will not last long.
Chen Boxiang was silent for a while, raised his head and said, "Allen, I want to tell you something."
Chen Baisheng pulled Chen Baixiang's arm and shook it, frowned and looked at Chen Baixiang, and looked at Tan Yonglin and the others in embarrassment. "Brother, you won't really want it..."
A mindless conversation between Chen Baixiang and Chen Baisheng attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked at Chen Baixiang and wanted to know what he had to tell them.
Chen Baixiang picked up a glass of wine and drank it all. The strong white wine passed by his throat. The hot wine stimulated his throat and stomach. I don’t know if it was choking by the wine or if Chen Baixiang really cried, tears came from the corners of his eyes.
"Allen, Jianzi, Ayou, Aqiang, I have always wanted to tell you, but I haven't said it. I originally planned to tell you after the performance tonight, but... I'm sorry, I want to quit the band!"
Wow...
Tan Yonglin and the others were surprised when they heard Chen Baixiang's words, and couldn't help but stand up and look at Chen Baixiang in disbelief. Tan Yonglin walked to Chen Baixiang, grabbed his shoulder and asked, "Ah La, why are you doing well? Are you going to leave the band suddenly?!"
Wang Ben didn't say anything, and looked at Chen Baixiang and the others quietly. Wang Ben probably knew why there was no Chen Baixiang in the Winner band. It was probably the reason why Chen Baixiang was going to say today.
Chen Baixiang covered his face and whimpered: "My girlfriend broke up with me. She said I was just a little singer and had no money to give her happiness... So I think I'd rather not be a singer and leave the band."
When Tan Yonglin and the others heard Chen Boxiang's words, they were immediately discouraged and silent, and they were listless. The whole scene became silent.
Wang Ben and Zheng Shaoqiu looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Love is really an invisible sword, killing people without blood. When love is sweet, it is like honey sweet in the heart, and you and me are happy and sweet. But when you don’t love, the honey that was originally sweet in the heart suddenly turns into an invisible sword, starting from the tenderest part of your heart. How sweet the love was, how painful it is now.
Wang Ben looked at Chen Baixiang's painful appearance and couldn't help but want to relieve him, but he didn't know how to persuade him. Wang Ben looked at the guitar placed aside and immediately noticed again. He picked up the guitar and smiled and said to Jianzi: "Jianzi, I'll borrow your guitar."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the stage.
Zheng Shaoqiu, Tan Yonglin and others looked at Wang Ben in confusion and said to himself: "Can Mr. Wang sing?"
They looked at each other without saying a word, and looked at Wang Ben quietly to see what he was going to do.
Wang Ben said something to the host on the stage, but he saw the host nodding with a smile, then shouted in surprise with a microphone: "Next, please invite Mr. Wang Ben to sing a song for everyone. Everyone applauds and welcomes you!"
The guests present in the audience looked at Wang Ben together. They were in a daze, Wang Ben?
Wang Ben!
Wow...
There was a warm applause from the audience instantly, and the guests shouted in surprise.
"Wow! It turns out it's Mr. Wang!"
"It's really Mr. Wang!"
"Mr. Wang, sing us the "Red Sun"!"
...
Wang Ben was a little surprised to see the guests so enthusiastic. Although there was a precedent for the audience in "Happy Tonight", Wang Ben did not expect that after so long, there would be people in Hong Kong who remembered his songs.
The applause from the guests in the audience lasted for a long time. Wang Ben waved his hand several times to signal that they would stop without any use. Finally, Wang Ben had to pick up the microphone and shouted loudly: "Sorry, I'm not a star in the performance today, so I can't waste too much time. Please cooperate, okay?"
The audience finally calmed down and looked at Wang Ben with anticipation.
Wang Ben continued: "Tonight, a friend of mine broke up and was in a bad mood. I want to sing a song for him and encourage him."
Wang Ben looked at Chen Baixiang and shouted loudly: "Ah La, the name of this song is "Flying Higher", which is sung for you. I hope you can cheer up!"
Adjust the microphone and get the guitar to a convenient position. Wang Ben gently swipes the guitar and sings it gently in his mouth.
Life is like a big river sometimes quiet sometimes crazy reality is like a shackle that binds me and cannot break free. This mysterious life is as sharp as a knife that hurts me again and again. I know that the kind of happiness I want is in that higher sky. I want to fly higher and higher. I dance and break free from my arms.
When he sang here, Wang Ben's singing suddenly became energetic and powerful, and the song was filled with an unyielding power, and striving to move forward to inspire people. The guests in the audience couldn't help but want to sing with Wang Ben in unison to express the energy accumulated in their hearts that was about to burst out.
Chen Baixiang had noticed when Wang Ben left with the guitar. But he didn't expect Wang Ben to sing a song for him. When Wang Ben stood on the stage and shouted to him, Chen Baixiang was immediately excited. Listening to the powerful songs that Wang Ben sang, Chen Baixiang was really grateful to Wang Ben.
Although the others were also grateful to Wang Ben for his encouragement to Chen Baixiang, they were not as profound as Chen Baixiang's gratitude. Most of their attention was focused on Wang Ben's song. This rock pop song decades later deeply touched their hearts.
The songs flow slowly like a big river, at first calm, sometimes rapid and sometimes narrow, gradually widening. Like life. They are brought into a state, like standing in the net and walking in a vast wilderness, and eagles soaring in the sky above their heads, making a desire in their hearts grow wildly and cannot be stopped.
The complete shock that "Flying Higher" brings to them is no less than a hurricane sweeping their souls.
Before the mid-1970s, the Hong Kong music scene was an era of "foreign languages". Mandarin and English songs dominated, and ethnic minor tunes and British-American pop songs were popular. Most of the songs sung in Cantonese in local languages are adapted from Cantonese opera accents.
Now Wang Ben's appearance has changed all this. He inadvertently threw the extremely mature Cantonese songs, pop and rock music that later generations were incredibly mature to Hong Kong in the early 1970s. Just like during the war, countries were still using those conventional weapons, and suddenly a certain country used the atomic bomb, which shocked the world.
Zheng Shaoqiu and Tan Yonglin were both confused. Seeing Wang Ben's amazing talent, Zheng Shaoqiu said in his heart: "Maybe joining Phantom International is a smart choice!"
When Tan Yonglin and the others looked at Wang Ben, they seemed to see a god, full of admiration and admiration!
