Chapter 6 Songs

Chen Chong had some musical foundations. Since he had the idea of ​​plagiarizing some classic music in his previous life, in order to prevent his timidity, he found time to make up for his music theory knowledge. He often interacted with music experts like Huang Zhan and Luo Dayou. If he plagiarized too much, he would not have any psychological barriers. Therefore, he stayed in the music room for an afternoon, and when Zhang Aijia came to ask him for dinner, he had already made ten songs.

This speed of "creation" made everyone except Zhang Aijia, who had seen his "talent" and was amazed.

"I'm still slow, far worse than a real talent." Chen Chong said while eating pizza: "Do you know Liu Jiachang? Last time Chu Yuan chatted with me, saying that he went to Taiwan to help people film "Smoky and Rain Setting Sun" in the year, and needed three songs to be interlude, so he went to ask Liu Jiachang for help. When he arrived at the studio, more than ten people were waiting. Some people took lyrics and asked for lyrics, and some were holding lyrics for music. Liu Jiachang came back at twelve:30 in the evening. Then he wrote lyrics and composed music with the other. Every time he wrote one, he would hand it over to Feng Feifei or Zhen Ni to record it on the spot, and then continued to write one. While writing it, he could still listen to wherever he sang it. More than ten songs were in less than an hour, and all of them were done, and he didn't even sweat. I only made ten drafts in one afternoon, and I was already a very ordinary person."

Lily was surprised when she listened to the heavenly book. She asked, "But Alan, can the quality of the song written like this be good?"

"People are born unequal. Some people have been blessed by the goddess of literature and art at the moment of their birth." Chen Chong said with a smile: "Liu Jiachang has written nearly 30U of the songs in more than ten years, many of which are good songs, which have made many singers famous. If you don't believe it, ask your sister Teresa. She has covered many songs by Liu Jiachang, "Deep in My Heart", "Plum Blossom", "Cloud River", "Moon Full of the West Tower", etc., are all classic works that have been passed down to this day."

"Allen said everything is true. Taiwanese popular singers such as Zhen Ni, Feng Feifei, Liu Wenzheng, and Fei Yuqing are all disciples of Liu Jiachang." Zhang Aijia held a can of drink and said to Lily with a smile: "Actually, I was also brought into the industry by Teacher Liu Jiachang, but I was the least successful, and I didn't have a song to sing red."

"Liu Jiachang not only writes songs quickly, but also films quickly." Chen Kunhou also said: "His first movie was finished in just three days. I remember that he invested in the filming of "The World of Love" in 1973, and the cost seemed to be more than 10,000 yuan. As a result, the box office in Taipei alone was as high as more than 3 million yuan. Now, just thinking about it, it feels incredible.

Zhang Aijia once filmed "Plum Blossoms" for Liu Jiachang, and Brigitte Lin once filmed "Cloud Piaopiao" for Liu Jiachang. They are both well-known works of one of the top ten hit movies in Taiwan that year. His wife Zhen Zhen is also the head of the first generation of jade girl in Taiwan. The passionate love story between the two is also a legend in the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles. A few Taiwanese people got together and talked about Liu Jiachang very lively.

"Allen, I think you are also legendary." Lily said excitedly after listening to the story for a while: "Where are the songs you wrote? Sing a few lines to listen."

"I can write songs, but I can't sing." Chen Chong laughed and said, "It's better to wait until after eating, let me sing."

Leslie Cheung's Mandarin is not good enough and he is not familiar with Liu Jiachang, so he has been silent. When he heard this, he pointed at himself in a bit unbelievable way and asked, "I sing?"

Chen Chong nodded, he took a bite of the pizza and said, "After watching the sample "Love Before Dawn" today, I feel that I can use the creativity of this movie to create a concept album, so I wrote some Cantonese songs."

"Congratulations, you've got a good song now." Zhang Aijia is full of confidence in Chen Chong's ability. After congratulating Leslie Cheung, she looked at Chen Chong with Yingying and asked, "Where is mine?"

"Isn't Luo Dayou helping you make an album?" Chen Chong shirked and said, "I'll write it again when his picture is done. It's a long and steady stream. You can't make dozens of songs at once and sing together."

Zhang Aijia was very dissatisfied with his perfunctory behavior, but in front of outsiders, he was very proud of his face and said nothing. Several people hurriedly finished their pizza, cleaned up their clothes, and then flocked to the music room.

Chen Chong took out a piece of manuscript paper from the pile of manuscripts he had applied in the afternoon and said, "This should be more in line with the needs of the movie, and make an interlude."

"Take it all over, I'll take a look first." Zhang Aijia snatched all the manuscript papers in his hand, flipping through them one by one, chanting the title of the song: "Where to Where to Go", "Passing Dragonflies", "Brows and Eyes", "Fun to Go", "Fun to Control", "Bear and White Hair", "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter"..."

After she finished reading it, she looked back at the lyrics of the song Chen Chong said just now. After reading a few sentences, she said, "This lyrics are indeed very consistent with the plot of the movie. Come and try it, I can't sing Cantonese songs.

"This song should be sung in Mandarin." Chen Chong corrected her mistake and said, ""Love Before Dawn" is a dialogue in Mandarin, and it is not appropriate to use Cantonese."

"Is that true?" After all, Zhang Aijia is a singer who has made records. She tried to sing a few sentences to the simplified score: "Life is always gathering and dispersing, meeting lightly during the day, and hugging each other gently at night. My heart is loneliness and loneliness, and my love is confusion and nothing to send..."

After singing only a few sentences, she stopped and shook her head and said, "I can't sing this kind of slow song. I don't feel it. You have been practicing Mandarin recently. You should be able to sing it. Come and try it."

Under the supervision of Shen Chong, Leslie Cheung practiced vocal music for several months and developed a mellow and elegant singing style that he only had at his peak in the future. Therefore, as soon as he started singing, although his pronunciation was not standard, the taste came out, which immediately made people feel unique.

Chen Chong hugged his hands with his chest and smiled, and was quite content. He was playing a trick of killing two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he was preparing for his music and TV station in advance.

In the first few years of its launch, NTV was not very famous and its ratings were not very popular, because singers at this time only sing to the camera, which was very boring. It was not until 1983 that the superstar and pop king Michael Jackson's "rt11" appeared that NTV quickly expanded and became the favorite TV channel for young people. NTV provided a promotional channel for N. N∫ opened up ratings for NTV. The two complemented each other and created a business miracle in their respective fields.

Michael Jackson has only one. Chen Chong can plagiarize his classic songs, but cannot plagiarize his unparalleled personal charm. Therefore, Chen Chong's music and television station needs to have his own superstar to open up the situation, and Leslie Cheung is the superstar he chose.

Leslie Cheung's strength and charm are beyond doubt. What he lacks now is only good works and opportunities for rise, and Shen Chong can provide these two things. Therefore, he was very fragile to eat the food of the emperor and plagiarized Leslie Cheung's future classic songs in advance, to support the future, and to serve the present - anyway, the future has changed. If you don't plagiarize, maybe these works will disappear forever. Moreover, the world is never short of talents, and more and better works will definitely appear in the future.

"Love Before Dawn" is a movie about a romantic encounter, telling a fleeting emotional story. There are many classic songs about this plot in Leslie Cheung's music. Chen Chong intends to plagiarize some of them, and then tailor an album for him based on the film's creativity, shooting techniques and packaging methods in the future, as the opening work of the TV station.
