Chapter 64: The Queen's Favor!
Prior to this, Zhang Jizhong and Cao Jun had agreed that they could only take a leave of seven days at most.
Therefore, Cao Jun could only take leave from February 3rd, the 25th day of the Lunar New Year, until February 9th (the first day of the Lunar New Year).
As for the Spring Festival Gala program team, they also gave Cao Jun enough respect because of the support of chief director Lang Kun.
Not only did Yin Kun not let Cao Jun report to the Spring Festival Gala program immediately, he also sent staff from Hu Xiangshan Film and Television City to sign a confidentiality agreement with Cao Jun.
The so-called confidentiality agreement is actually that in order to preserve the audience's sense of surprise for the Spring Festival Gala program, the Spring Festival Gala director team has taken extremely strict confidentiality measures for the Spring Festival Gala. It has implemented a comprehensive and strict confidentiality system for all Spring Festival Gala programs, including major information about the Spring Festival Gala.
Every creator, actor, and even stage manager who enters the Spring Festival Gala crew has signed a confidentiality agreement. If the agreement is violated, the director will be asked to leave the Spring Festival Gala crew.
In addition, Lang Kun also told Cao Jun to record the original soundtrack of "Prose Poems Written by My Father" in advance in case of emergency.
Naturally, Cao Jun understood Lang Kun's intention. He did this just to allow Cao Jun to lip-sync at any time when encountering unexpected situations, ensuring that the performance would be foolproof.
Everyone knows that the Spring Festival Gala is a program watched by people all over the country and even by Chinese people all over the world. Many new actors can successfully appear in the Spring Festival Gala and sometimes become famous overnight.
Precisely because the status of the Spring Festival Gala is very high, no mistakes can be allowed. In order to ensure the quality of the performance, the singers can only lip-sync.
Although the Spring Festival Gala will go through many rehearsals before it starts, it is always uncontrollable whether any accidents will occur on site.
Therefore, the Spring Festival Gala program team will ask the singers to record the songs, and then play the recorded songs during the live performance, so as to ensure that everything is foolproof.
In fact, as early as 1994, there were real singers in the Spring Festival Gala, and the director at that time, Lang Kun, also supported the singers to all sing for real.
However, judging from the performance of that time, many people's performances were not satisfactory, and the scene of the car accident was chaotic, so later, they simply changed to lip-syncing.
However, despite signing a confidentiality agreement, the news that Cao Jun was going to attend the Spring Festival Gala still spread like wildfire.
There is nothing that can be done about it. Just like if Cao Jun wants to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, he must first ask for leave from Zhang Jizhong, hire someone to arrange the music, etc.
In order to allow Cao Jun to film with peace of mind, Song Ke gave the song "Prose Poems Written by My Father" to gold medal producer Zhang Yadong to help arrange the music.
On the 2nd and 3rd, in the morning.
The first thing Cao Jun did when he returned to the capital was to run to Zhang Yadong's recording studio.
As a result, before entering Zhang Yadong's recording studio, Cao Jun saw a tall woman standing in the corridor smoking.
Cao Jun took a closer look and was a little surprised to see that it was Queen Huang Fei.
Huang Fei also looked at him, smiled, and took the initiative to say hello: "Hello."
At this time, Huang Fei still had long hair. She had cut her hair short for many years. Because Lu Yapeng liked the look of her long hair, he kept it long.
Cao Jun came to his senses and said respectfully: "Hello, Sister Fei, why are you here?"
Huang Fei smiled and asked: "Why can't I come here? I have cooperated with Yadong for many years, and I often come to his recording studio to record songs."
Cao Jun suddenly said: "Oh, so that's it. Then you will also come to record songs today?"
Huang Fei smiled and replied: "No, I heard from Yadong that you will come today. I came here specifically to see you."
Hearing Huang Fei's words, Cao Jun was a little flattered and said: "Sister Fei, others say you are cold and cold, but I didn't expect you to be able to speak in public."
Huang Fei said dumbfounded: "Bah! What kind of situation are you talking about? I'll tell you the truth."
At this time, Zhang Yadong heard the conversation between the two and walked out of the recording studio.
After Zhang Yadong's explanation, Cao Jun was convinced that Huang Fei came to Zhang Yadong's recording studio to meet him.
However, Huang Fei didn't come here for Cao Jun's looks, but for his creative talent.
As the queen of the Chinese music scene, Huang Fei's love for music is undoubted. The reason why she has a lot of hits is because she attaches great importance to creators and knows how to appreciate them.
In turn, those creators were willing to give their favorite works to Huang Fei to sing.
After some exchanges, Cao Jun began to walk into the recording studio to record the song "Prose Poems Written by My Father".
Zhang Yadong has already finished the arrangement of "Prose Poems Written by My Father", all that is needed is for Cao Jun to sing.
"1984
The crops haven't been harvested yet
My son is lying in my arms
sleep so sweetly
Outdoor movie tonight
No time to see
…”
Zhang Yadong has very high requirements for singers to sing. Cao Jun sang five times in a row but failed to meet his requirements, so he asked him to continue singing again.
Huang Fei wore headphones and listened to Cao Jun singing in the recording studio. She felt very moved, so she took off her headphones and asked Zhang Yadong at the side: "Isn't he a pretty good singer? Why hasn't he met your requirements?"
Zhang Yadong replied: "Xiao Cao's singing this time is indeed not bad, but it is not enough. He has talent and can sing better."
"However, it's hard to find a singer like you."
Huang Fei smiled and joked: "I know that I can sing well even if you don't tell me, so there is no need to emphasize it to me."
Zhang Yadong smiled and said: "To be honest, you used to record songs in one go. It was like watching a performance. It was a pleasure for me."
"Many singers nowadays often have to record a song 20 times, and then I have to get the tone right and spell out the best effect word by word. This is simply torture."
"It made me want to vomit as soon as I entered the recording studio for a while. I felt like a worker on an assembly line."
Huang Fei sighed pretending to be sentimental: "Oh, I can't do it now. I have to record each song two or three times before I can pass it smoothly."
Seeing Huang Fei acting so Versailles, Zhang Yadong was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say, so he just smiled helplessly.
With Zhang Yadong's help and guidance, Cao Jun finally met Zhang Yadong's requirements when he sang the song for the eighth time.
It was already noon after I finished recording the song "Father's Prose Poems".
Seeing that Cao Jun's brother Zhang Yadong was finished, Huang Fei invited Cao Jun and Zhang Yadong to have lunch together.
During the meal, Huang Fei also took this opportunity to actively invite Cao Jun to sing.
Cao Jun himself also admired Huang Fei's music very much and was willing to cooperate with her, so he said: "Sister Fei, I have been busy recently. Wait for a while. When I am finished, I will see if I have any inspiration."
"
"If I have inspiration, I will definitely write a song for you. If I don't have inspiration, I can't write a work suitable for you. I hope you can understand."
Huang Fei smiled and replied: "Okay, Xiao Cao, you don't need to be so nervous in front of me. Don't open or shut your mouth. It's all yours. I don't eat people, so you don't need to be so restrained."
Cao Junxin said, I'm not nervous, I'm just polite, but still smiled and nodded: "Okay, Sister Fei, then I won't call you any more."
Without waiting for Huang Fei to answer, Cao Jun then asked: "By the way, Sister Fei, will you go to the Spring Festival Gala this year?"
Huang Fei said calmly: "No."
Cao Jun asked curiously: "Why not go up?"
Huang Fei thought for a while and said: "Actually, there's no reason. I just haven't found any new songs that I'm satisfied with, and I don't want to go to the top just for the sake of it."
Huang Fei dares to say this, not because she is arrogant, nor because she is proud of her talent, but because she does have the capital.
Looking at the entire Chinese music scene, Huang Fei's identity and status, popularity, qualifications, awards, and the thickness of her works are all top-notch in the Chinese music scene.
Moreover, Huang Fei is the undisputed queen of the world on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. She is even popular and well-known in Japan, South Korea, and even throughout Southeast Asia.
It can be said that apart from the late Teresa Teng, the female singer with the most outstanding overall achievements is Huang Fei.
The first Chinese female singer to appear on the cover of Time Magazine!
Guinness World Records for the Cantonese female singer with the highest album sales!
Seventh Hong Kong Top Ten Hits Most Popular Female Singer in Asia-Pacific
Taiwan Golden Melody Award for Best Mandarin Female Singer
Three-time Gold Award for Most Favorite Female Singer on the Music Chart
…
As for all important female singer awards, Huang Fei has won almost all of them, and she has won them many times. She basically has no rivals.
For a top diva like Huang Fei, she no longer has to rush to attend the Spring Festival Gala. She can attend at any time if she wants.
Although Huang Fei has a very cold image in front of the public, she talks very little and seems not good at talking.
However, after spending the afternoon talking with Huang Fei, Cao Jun suddenly discovered that Huang Fei was not bad at talking, nor was she aloof. These were all illusions.
