Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong.
Wang Fei walked into the apartment building with a large bag of apples and oolong tea, parked upstairs and rang the doorbell in front of a door.
"A Fei is here, come in and sit in," a middle-aged woman welcomed Wang Fei in and complained with a smile, "It's true, come here, what else can I bring."
Wang Fei looked into the piano room and asked, "Master's wife, isn't the teacher at home?"
"I'll go to Huaxing Records and I'll be back in a while." The middle-aged woman put away the apples and tea leaves that Wang Fei brought and made her another cup of tea.
"Oh, why don't I come back another day?" Wang Fei said embarrassedly.
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not an outsider."
Wang Fei sat in the living room and watched TV for a while before she heard the sound of unlocking the door. As soon as the door opened, she quickly stood up and greeted: "Hello, teacher."
Dai Sicong was holding a box of tape and music score in his hand. After seeing Wang Fei, he smiled and said, "Why did you think of coming to see me today?"
Wang Fei lowered her head and said in a difficult manner: "Teacher, I am going to study in the United States after the New Year."
Dai Sicong's smile stagnated and he said seriously: "You have to think clearly that once you leave Hong Kong, your efforts over the past few years will be in vain. No one will remember that there is a singer like you."
"I have already figured it out. Today is here to pay my respects to the teacher for a good year. I will leave Hong Kong on the third day of the Lunar New Year." Wang Fei said firmly.
Dai Sicong sat down and sighed, saying, "It's not something that can be done overnight. I'll come to Hong Kong to learn singing from me. I'll ask you why you made that decision. You said that student life is not your true intention, and your ideal is to be a singer and a star. Last year, you finally won the Bronze Award of Female Singer on the Popular List, which is a good time to show your strength. Why are you stubborn?"
Wang Fei lowered her head and said hesitantly: "I have a fight with the general manager."
"It's because of this?" Dai Sicong asked laughed and crying.
Wang Fei nodded: "She laughed at me for being from the mainland. I was so angry that I scolded her, and scolded her in front of... many people in the company. Do you know how stingy that woman is, and I will definitely not have any good results if I stay."
Dai Sicong said, "As long as you can make money for the company, no one will be unable to get along with you because of this little thing. You are thinking too much."
Wang Fei said stubbornly: "Even if Huaxing Records doesn't ban me, I don't want to stay there."
Dai Sicong reminded: "Your contract has not arrived yet, and Huaxing Records will be sued if you pursue it."
Wang Fei pouted and said, "If they want to sue me, they will chase me to the United States and sue me."
Dai Sicong had nothing to say. The girl from the capital looked thin and weak, and no one could persuade her once she made up her mind.
The pair of masters and apprentices in front of me are famous in another time and space.
Dai Sicong, the godfather of Hong Kong music in the 1980s. The students he taught were: Zhang Minming, Li Ming, Wang Fei, Liu Dehua, Aaron Kwok, Lu Fang, Anita Mui, Nicholas Tse, Kwong Meiyun, Li Jiaxin, Li Zi, Chen Xiaodong...
Needless to say, Wang Fei is another contemporary Chinese female singer after Teresa Teng.
Wang Fei immigrated to Hong Kong with her father four years ago. She gave up the admission to the Department of Biology at Xiamen University and told her father that she would learn to sing in Hong Kong. Because Dai Sicong once taught Zhang Minming, Wang Fei's father asked an acquaintance to ask for help, so she asked Wang Fei to be under Dai Sicong's disciple.
Dai Sicong's position in the Hong Kong music scene is very strange. His main business is a music teacher and he has not signed a fixed company. However, various record companies often invite him to help. For example, the Chinese Voice of Fengxing Records has invited Dai Sicong as the music director.
In another time and space, shortly after Wang Fei came to Hong Kong, she was recommended by Dai Sicong to participate in a singing competition, and later successfully joined Xinyibao, a record company under Xinyi City.
However, due to Kang Jianfei's existence, Xinyi City did not develop smoothly, and its record company Xinyibao also closed early. In this time and space, Wang Fei joined two record companies and is currently signed with Huaxing Records. In the past year, Wang Fei's singing career finally improved and won the Bronze Award for the female singer who dominated the pop music list.
Unfortunately, Wang Fei's personality is too strong, and she was jealous of winning the award, so she was inevitably excluded by local singers. Some time ago, Wang Fei ran into someone to talk bad about her and started arguing on the spot. Later, she was reported by the general manager.
The general manager of Huaxing Records at this time was Fang Yihua's confidant. She called Wang Fei to the office and asked her to pay attention to handling interpersonal relationships, especially in front of reporters. Maybe the general manager's tone of speaking was a little heavier, and Wang Fei, who was full of grievance, contradicted a few words, and then slammed the door and came out.
Later, the general manager met Wang Fei and quarreled with someone in the company, and in anger he scolded Wang Fei severely. Wang Fei was not in a silence, but cursed him in front of many company employees, making the general manager shameless to step down.
The master and apprentice sat in the living room and were silent. After a long time, Dai Sicong asked: "Do you don't want to sing or don't want to stay on Huaxing Records?"
"I don't want to stay in Hong Kong anymore. The air here is too depressing." Wang Fei's eyes became wet as she said that. She was a very strong girl. She couldn't help but shed tears after suffering so much grievances.
Dai Sicong naturally knew Wang Fei's situation. A newcomer from the mainland successfully entered Huaxing Records with Dai Sicong's recommendation. He released three records in three years and won the bronze award of the female singer of the year. It would be strange if he didn't attract jealousy.
"Let's do this, I'm going to Fengxing Records in the afternoon, and you can come with me." Dai Sicong thought for a while before saying.
Wang Fei actually didn't want to leave Hong Kong in shame. She asked: "My contract with Huaxing Records has not expired yet. Will Fengxing spend money to sign me?"
Dai Sicong said: "The tone of your singing is very special and has great value for cultivating. If there are people who understand Fengxing Records, they will definitely be willing to spend money to sign you."
After lunch, Wang Fei followed Dai Sicong to Fengxing Records nervously.
When she entered the gate of Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, Wang Fei couldn't help but look around. She came here four years ago, and the film and television city was still bare at that time. The transplanted trees didn't have a few leaves, but now there are more green embellishments.
After studying with Dai Sicong for three months, Wang Fei signed up for the Chinese Voice co-organized by Fengxing Records and Phoenix TV. Unfortunately, Wang Fei had no characteristics of her singing at that time, and after a song, she had no mentor willing to turn around for her. After studying with Dai Sicong for half a year, Wang Fei signed up for the newcomer singing competition of Huaxing Records and won a good ranking and successfully signed the contract.
The master and apprentice walked on the tree-lined avenue, and Wang Fei couldn't help asking, "Teacher, have you ever met Mr. Kang?"
Dai Sicong said: "I have seen it, but I am not familiar with it."
Wang Fei was very nervous. She seemed to have forgotten the purpose of this trip, but instead asked curiously: "Is he as handsome as in "Mr. Smith"?"
Dai Sicong is not a stereotype, and joked: "All his confidantes are beautiful women. Don't have fantasies about seduction."
"Hmph, I'm also a beautiful woman, okay?" Wang Fei said dissatisfied.
Dai Sicong smiled and said, "Haha, you are too thin, just like a bamboo pole."
Wang Fei curled her lips and said, "I'm called slim. There are so many people chasing me."
Dai Sicong said: "In front of the teacher, don't talk big. The teacher will introduce you to a handsome guy as your boyfriend another day."
"Hmph, I don't want you to introduce you," Wang Fei shook his hand, jumped and took two steps, and then turned around and said, "By the way, the newspaper said Mr. Kang wants a record. Teacher, do you know what song is singing?"
Dai Sicong had really heard of Fengxing Records some time ago. He said: "There are 4 songs in one tape ep. Two of them are written in Hong Kong, and they are in Cantonese and Mandarin respectively."
"?That must be very interesting." Wang Fei said with a smile.
The popular songs on the market are all about love and love. How can there be a theme from two cities?
Dai Sicong nodded and said, "It's very interesting. The two songs singing Hong Kong are all classics."
"It seems that Mr. Kang is really talented when he is able to receive praise from his teacher." Wang Fei smiled. Before she came to Hong Kong, she participated in the World Peace Year - a concert that will be better tomorrow. The theme song of the concert was created by Kang Jianfei. At that time, Wang Fei was not yet an adult, so her name was not on the program list, but she has been deeply impressed by Kang Jianfei since then.
After walking into the administrative building where Fengxing Records is located, Wang Fei put away her lively and unruly temperament and followed Dai Sicong honestly.
It happened that as soon as the two of them entered, they met Kang Jianfei and Peng Guohua who were going downstairs.
"Hello Mr. Kang!" Wang Fei greeted him very proactively. Kang Jianfei's identity as an immigrant from the mainland made her feel very close.
"Hello...Huh!" Kang Jianfei originally gave a casual greeting, but when he saw Wang Fei's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but stop.
Dai Sicong stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Kang, I am Dai Sicong, this is my student Wang Fei."
"I admire you for a long time. This is Mr. Peng Guohua, the boss of Taiwan UFO Records." Kang Jianfei introduced casually.
"Good luck!" Dai Sicong and Peng Guohua greeted each other.
Kang Jianfei pointed at Wang Fei and smiled, "I know this Miss Wang Jingwen. Her record sold well last year and has great potential for development."
Dai Sicong was happy and said, "Afei is a very good child, hardworking and innate conditions are also very good."
Kang Jianfei had no idea when Wang Fei came to Hong Kong. It was not until Wang Fei's new album became popular last year that he realized that Wang Fei had been in the industry for three years. However, Wang Fei signed up for Huaxing Records and was only a young singer. Kang Jianfei was not very interested in poaching.
But today Dai Sicong led Wang Fei to Fengxing Records, which was a bit of a headache. Kang Jianfei swept his eyes on the master and apprentice and asked with a smile: "Ms. Wang isn't going to do it on Huaxing Records?"
Dai Sicong wanted to say a few tactfully, but Wang Fei replied bluntly: "Yes, the colleagues over there are so hateful."
"Haha, there are many troubles in people, Miss Wang must adapt. Boss Peng and I have something to talk about, goodbye." Kang Jianfei did not show much enthusiasm. It would be a small matter to turn back and sign Wang Fei.
Watching the two of them walk out of the door, Wang Fei said disappointedly: "It seems that there is no chance."
Dai Sicong smiled and said, "This matter is probably done."
Peng Guohua, who left the building, was also talking to Kang Jianfei: "Mr. Kang is very interested in that female singer?"
After the two record companies exchanged shares, everyone was considered their own. Kang Jianfei did not hide it and smiled and said, "The girl just now had great potential."
"Oh, after Mr. Kang said this, I was a little interested in her." Peng Guohua said with a smile.
Kang Jianfei said: "She comes from the mainland and has no problem with Mandarin. She can sing Cantonese songs to become famous in Hong Kong, then switch to Mandarin songs, and develop in Taiwan and mainland China at the same time. Since she takes the initiative to change jobs, we can add another person to our celebrity promotion plan."
"Do you value her so much?" Peng Guohua said in surprise. He couldn't help but be surprised, because every singer in the celebrity promotion plan is the key training target of the two companies.
Kang Jianfei said: "It's not clear yet. This girl hasn't formed her own style yet. You will know if she's mature in two years."
Peng Guohua asked: "By the way, I have sent you a lot of information about creating a girl group. Do you have any good candidates?"
"Only one has been selected for the time being," said Kang Jianfei.
Peng Guohua asked, "Who?"
Kang Jianfei said: "Xu Shujuan."
Peng Guohua said speechlessly: "How could it be her? Wang Sihan and Wu Peiyu are more distinctive."
The Little Tigers are now popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. UFO Records are preparing to create a girl team based on the model of the Little Tigers. The tentative members are Xu Shujuan, Wang Sihan, and Wu Peiyu.
Among the three, Xu Shujuan was neither the sweetest and most lovely nor the one who sang the best. Peng Guohua really couldn't understand why Kang Jianfei chose Xu Shujuan to create a super girl group.
"Young girls team, please find another girl to make up for it. I want that Xu Shujuan, and I will make the shooting myself." Kang Jianfei added again after saying that, "The name Xu Shujuan is too vulgar, please change it to Xu Ruoxuan."
Peng Guohua was a little uncomfortable with Kang Jianfei's rhythm. Now everyone is in the honeymoon period of cooperation, so he is too lazy to argue with Kang Jianfei because of a newcomer.
The successful precedent of the Little Tigers is there, and Peng Guohua is very confident in the upcoming girl team. As for Kang Jianfei's super girl team shooting, let him do it. Peng Guohua is also looking forward to what Kang Jianfei can make. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
