Chapter 7 The Beach
Ten manuscript papers with lyrics and music were passed around among the crowd, and then returned to Chen Chong's hand. He sorted the manuscript papers in order, sat in front of the bar, and said to Leslie Cheung: ", I plan to make this album into a complete love story. Look, use "I" as the first song, "I am me, a firework of different colors, straight to the point, showing your unique personality and temperament.
Zhang Aijia looked at Chen Chong with her bright eyes, without hiding her appreciation and love, and said in the jam: "I like this song, which is very beautiful, very unique, and very consistent with her temperament."
Chen Chong smiled slightly. The song "I" is one of Leslie Cheung's representative works, and he composed it himself. Can it not fit?
He flipped through the manuscript paper and explained page by page: "After "Me", it is "Where to Go", this song is used to express your desire and confusion about love, followed by "Passing Dragonfly", you meet a girl, with a dragonfly attitude, go to contact her, and then "Brows and Eyes", you and the girl are attracted to each other, secretly feeling affection, and then "Love is hard to control", you unknowingly, you are already deeply trapped in love, below is "Unrestrained Wind", you fell in love with a girl, and decided to give up your unruly attitude, want to keep her, stay together forever, but There is no future between you, so the beauty and white hair. The two spent a romantic night, before and after, and overnight, not counting, love until they are old, before breaking up, you "Lovely Embrace" and after the girl left, you were sad, I didn't tell the difference between the front and back, from that day on, I was so confused, "Left and Right Hands" means this kind of at a loss, and finally "Early Summer, Autumn and Winter". It is a kind of fate to meet this planet on the same journey. How lucky I am, if you part, you will also be in the soul, describing your love and remembrance for girls."
"Of course, this is just my rough idea. How to arrange and design it specifically, I have to wait until I return to Hong Kong to go to Polykin to discuss with Zheng Donghan." After Chen Chong finished speaking, he handed the manuscript paper to Leslie Cheung and asked, "What do you think?"
In 19RU, the record industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan was far from mature. Singers released records, either a variety of songs or a collection of TV series theme songs. There has never been such a conceptual original album with a complete story as the context. Brigitte Lin and Chen Kunhou are both outsiders. Listening to Chen Chong's description, they just found it interesting. However, Leslie Cheung lived in the UK for seven or eight years and had a relatively familiarity with the Western music system. He knew the difficulty of making this album and the historical significance of the album. Especially every song here is a fine product. Every word and every melody perfectly fit his appreciation and taste and musical style. It can be called the best in tailor-made. It is hard to find and can be bought with money.
Leslie Cheung stood up, took the manuscript paper with both hands, lowered his head slightly, concealed his eyes that were red from excitement, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."
Among these ten songs, several of them were composed by Leslie Cheung himself. He stole other people's things and sent them back to sell them for favors. Even though he was as thick as a wall, he was a little ashamed and embarrassed. He stood up and looked at his handsome face in front of him. He thought of April Fool's Day more than 20 years later. He couldn't help but feel sad and wanted to say a few thoughtful words, but when he was on the lips, he didn't know where to start, so he had to pat Leslie Cheung on the shoulder and said, "Remember, come to me if you have anything in the future or anything."
Shen Chong was in Los Angeles and wanted to communicate with 20th Century Fox, make arrangements for the release of Kurosawa's "Shadow Samurai" and John Woo's "Violon" in the United States, study the plan to lay a video chain store in the United States, socialize with some Hollywood bigwigs, find new investment opportunities, and accept interviews from major media. The year of 19RU is the year of the US election, and there are many opportunities for political speculation, and we also need to grasp it...
Therefore, he only stayed in the villa for one weekend, and spent a day on Monday on the crew of "Love Before Dawn". After helping Zhang Aijia solve the passive and slacking off employees, he was about to leave Malibu.
In the afterglow of the sunset, he waved to Zhang Aijia and Brigitte Lin, made a farewell gesture, and then started the car and left.
"Fortunately, Mr. Chen has only been away for a few days." Brigitte Lin looked at Zhang Aijia who was standing still and joked: "If you walk for a year or two, I think you will become the American husband-hopping stone."
"You are the American Husband Stone. You are looking forward to a Taiwanese call every day." Zhang Aijia smiled and countered, then said: "I just worried that he would leave. Will the Americans in the crew change their minds and be unable to work."
"Who are you lying to the point of being honest?" The two had a good relationship and were so familiar that Brigitte Lin saw through her lies at a glance and said, "Mr. Chen held a $100,000 cash box in his left hand and a barrister's letter of suing the lawsuit on the spot. He also fired those thorns on the spot, taking a two-pronged approach. How could those Americans be honest? I see you, I just can't bear to leave him."
"Okay okay, I admit that I can't bear to leave him." Zhang Aijia was a little excited and no longer denied it. She looked at the sky and said, "Qingxia, it's still early, let's go to the beach for a walk."
"good."
After walking shoulder to shoulder, Brigitte Lin sighed quietly and said, "IvIa, I really envy you."
"What do I have to envy?" Zhang Aijia smiled and said, "I envy you. You are so beautiful, the number one beauty in Asia."
"That's what Mr. Chen is joking, why are you taking it seriously?" Brigitte Lin nudged her and said, "I don't think I am very beautiful at all. Besides, what's the use of being beautiful except causing trouble?"
"Why is it useless? Only when people like it is beautiful?" Zhang Aijia said with a smile: "Do you know, I went to the United States to study in my teens, and later when I grew up, I returned to Taiwan. When those elders saw me, they all said that I was ugly than my mother. Our family was worse than the next generation. I was so angry that I was crazy."
Brigitte Lin laughed when she heard this, then looked at her and said, "I have seen your mother, she is really beautiful."
"That's right. When my mother brought the Taiwanese beauty pageant to the United States to participate in the Miss World election finals, the big Hollywood stars thought she was Miss Taiwan, and even Cary Grant invited her to dinner." Zhang Aijia walked down the winding steps on the cliff and said, "Eren said last time that my mother was more beautiful than me."
"Your mother has met Mr. Shen?"
"I've seen it. When my grandfather came to the United States last month, he had dinner together."
Brigitte Lin followed behind and asked meaningfully: "Does she know about Mr. Chen in Hong Kong?"
"I don't know." Zhang Aijia ignored the last few steps, fell down, jumped directly onto the beach, and said, "That's my private matter. She has her life, there is no need to tell her those."
"You are living a free and easy life." Brigitte Lin slowly walked down the steps step by step and said, "I'm much happier than me."
"What can I do when I meet such a fickle man without being free and easy and making my life feel more comfortable?" Zhang Aijia smiled bitterly and said, "I gave up and accepted my fate. Anyway, he said that as long as it is not a murder or arson, he will take care of it if there is anything wrong."
"Mr. Chen is good at making money, talented, has such a big ability, has a gentle temper, and loves you so much. He supports everything you do." Brigitte Lin took his hair blown by the sea breeze, walked side by side with Zhang Aijia, and said, "There are too few men who dare to act and take responsibility."
"He is so bold that he dares to act." Zhang Aijia turned his head and looked at the sea view, covering up the pride in his expression, and said, "He doesn't care about others at all. Look at him, he never hides his own affairs as a woman, and blatantly engages in three wives and four concubines."
"Mr. Chen is indeed a little fickle." Brigitte Lin was silent for a while and said, "But he can prevent you from being wronged. You and him are in the same newspaper together every few days. Miss Li from Hong Kong has never come out to make a fuss, and the media has never reported news that is not good for you. But as for me, I just want to have a good relationship. I didn't do anything, and his wife came out to make a big fuss, shouting to the media, and the media also talked ill of me, saying that I was a third party. Oh, he never gave me a letter, and kept pushing and swaying. If he could have half the spirit of Mr. Chen, I would be satisfied."
Zhang Aijia was speechless. After a while, he asked, "What are you and Qin Han doing?"
"I don't know either." Brigitte Lin lowered her head, stepped on the beach, and said sadly: "His wife said she would never divorce, and he couldn't figure out whether to divorce. I've been in the United States for almost half a year, and he didn't call me a few times."
"Where is Qin Xianglin? He often comes to you recently." Zhang Aijia also lowered her head and stepped on the beach, saying, "How do you feel about him?"
"I can't say it, I don't know what it feels like, it's a mess." Brigitte Lin turned around, looked at the villa under the sunset, and said, "It's so beautiful here, like a castle in a fairy tale. Living here, the carefree days are the happiest times in my recent years."
Zhang Aijia looked at her and asked, "You won't fall in love with Allen, are you?"
"What are you talking nonsense?" Brigitte Lin gave her a blank look and said, "I am just very grateful to Mr. Chen for providing me with a dreamy shelter. But such a day is about to end."
She stopped walking forward, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "IvIa, can you help me with something?"
"What's up?"
"The newspaper said that Mr. Chen's eyes were like a torch. He could not only look at money, but also people. Can you ask him to help me?"
Zhang Aijia was surprised and asked, "What are you helping?"
"Two days ago, Qin Xianglin proposed to me." Brigitte Lin bit her lip and said, "I want to ask Mr. Chen to help me see if Charlie is reliable or not."
Zhang Aijia looked incredible, laughed and said, "He is a businessman, not Wong Tai Sin. It's okay if you ask him to look at stocks, but to look at marriage?"
Brigitte Lin blushed and explained a little helplessly: "I am very confused. I want to find someone to help me with a reference. Mr. Chen is the most capable person I have ever met, and... and I think he never does wrong things. What he says can make people feel at ease."
