Wang Fei walked into the apartment building carrying a large bag of apples and oolong tea, went upstairs and stopped in front of a door and rang the doorbell.
"Afei is here, come in and sit down," a middle-aged woman welcomed Wang Fei in and complained with a smile, "Really, just come, don't bring anything else."
Wang Fei looked at the piano room and asked: "Master's wife, the teacher is not at home?"
"I'm going to Huaxing Records. I'll be back soon." The middle-aged woman put away the apples and tea leaves that Wang Fei had brought and made her another cup of tea.
"Oh, how about I come back another day." Wang Fei said a little embarrassed.
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 the door unlocking. As soon as the door opened, she quickly stood up and greeted: "Hello, teacher."
Dai Sicong held a box of tapes and music scores in his hand. When he saw Wang Fei, he smiled and said, "Why did you think of coming to see me today?"
Wang Fei lowered her head and said unspeakably: "Teacher, I plan to study in the United States after the Chinese New Year."
The smile on Dai Sicong's face faltered, and he said seriously: "You have to think clearly, once you leave Hong Kong, your efforts over the past few years will be in vain, and no one will remember you as a singer."
"I have thought it through. Today I am here to wish my teacher a happy birthday. I will leave Hong Kong on the third day of the Lunar New Year." Wang Fei said firmly.
Dai Sicong sat down and sighed, and said: "Making music is not easy. Four years ago, you gave up the admission notice of Xiamen University and came to Hong Kong to learn singing from me. I asked you why you made that decision, and you said
Studying biology is not your original intention. Your ideal is to be a singer and a star. Last year you finally won the bronze award for female singer in the pop charts. It is a good time to show off your talents. Why are you so stubborn?"
Wang Fei lowered her head and said hesitantly: "I had a fight with the general manager."
"Is it because of this?" Dai Sicong asked, dumbfounded.
Wang Fei nodded: "She laughed at me for coming from the mainland. I was so angry that I scolded her in front of... many people in the company. You know how stingy that woman is, and I will definitely not get good results if I stay.
eat."
Dai Sicong enlightened: "As long as you can make money for the company, no one will have trouble with you because of this trivial matter. You think too much."
Wang Fei said stubbornly: "Even if Huaxing Records doesn't ban me, I don't want to stay there anymore."
Dai Sicong reminded: "Your contract has not yet expired, Huaxing Records will pursue a lawsuit."
Wang Fei pouted and said, "If they want to sue me, they can come to the United States to sue me."
Dai Sicong had nothing to say. This girl from the capital looked thin and weak. Once she made up her mind, no one could persuade her.
The pair of master and disciple in front of me were famous in another time and space.
Dai Sicong, the godfather of Hong Kong music in the 1980s and 1990s, the students he has personally taught include: Zhang Minming, Li Ming, Wang Fei, Andy Lau, 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 her admission to the Department of Biology of Xiamen University and told her father that she wanted to learn singing in Hong Kong. Because Dai Sicong had taught Zhang Minming, Wang Fei's father asked acquaintances for help.
Only then did Wang Fei become a disciple of Dai Sicong.
Dai Sicong's position in the Hong Kong music scene is very unique. His main job is as a music teacher. He is not signed to a fixed company, but various record companies often invite him to help. For example, Fengxing Records' Chinese Good Voice invited Dai Sicong to do music.
Director.
In another time and space, not long after Wang Fei came to Hong Kong, she was recommended by Dai Sicong to participate in a singing competition, and later successfully entered Xinyibao, a record company under Xinyi City.
However, due to the existence of Kang Jianfei, Xinyi City did not develop smoothly, and its record company Xinyibao also closed early. In this time and space, Wang Fei has joined two record companies and is currently signed to Huaxing Records. In the past year,
Here, Wang Fei's singing career finally took off and she won the Bronze Award for Female Singer in the Top Popular Music Chart.
It's a pity that Wang Fei has such a strong personality, and because she was jealous of others for winning awards, she was inevitably ostracized by local-born singers. Some time ago, Wang Fei bumped into someone saying bad things about her, and they got into a fight on the spot. Later, she was called the general manager.
There are all kinds of snitches there.
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 not to speak randomly in front of reporters. Maybe the general manager spoke in a harsh tone,
Feeling aggrieved, Wang Fei retorted a few words, then slammed the door and walked out.
Later, the general manager met Wang Fei and quarreled with someone in the company, and he got angry and scolded Wang Fei severely. Wang Fei was not the type to take advantage of others, so she scolded her back in front of many company employees.
Make that general manager embarrassed to step down.
The master and the apprentice sat in silence in the living room, facing each other in silence. After a long time, Dai Sicong asked: "Do you not want to sing anymore, or do you not want to stay at Huaxing Records?"
"I don't want to stay in Hong Kong anymore. The air here is too depressing." Wang Fei's eyes became moist as she spoke. She is a very strong girl, and she can't help but shed tears after she has suffered so many grievances.
Dai Sicong naturally knew Wang Fei's situation. A newcomer from the mainland, she successfully entered Huaxing Records on Dai Sicong's recommendation. She released three records in three years and also won the bronze award for female singer of the year. It would be strange not to make people jealous.
"Well, I'm going to Fengxing Records in the afternoon. You come with me." Dai Sicong thought for a while before saying.
In fact, Wang Fei didn't want to leave Hong Kong in despair. She asked: "My contract with China Star Records has not expired yet. Will Fengxing spend money to sign me?"
Dai Sicong said: "The timbre of your singing is very special and has great cultivation value. If there is someone sensible at Fengxing Records, they will definitely be willing to spend money to sign you."
After lunch, Wang Fei followed Dai Sicong to Fengxing Records anxiously.
When she entered the gate of Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, Wang Fei couldn't help but look around. She had been here four years ago. At that time, the film and television city was still bare, and the transplanted trees had few leaves, but now there are more.
Pieces of green embellishment.
After studying with Dai Sicong for three months, Wang Fei signed up to participate in The Voice of China, co-sponsored by Fengxing Records and Phoenix TV. Unfortunately, at that time, Wang Fei didn't have any of her own characteristics in singing, and even after singing one song, she didn't even have a tutor.
Turn around for her. After studying with Dai Sicong for half a year, Wang Fei signed up for Huaxing Records' new singer singing competition and got a good ranking and successfully signed a contract.
As the master and apprentice walked along the tree-lined road, Wang Fei couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, have you seen Mr. Kang?"
Dai Sicong said: "I've seen him before, but I'm not familiar with him."
Wang Fei was very nervous. She seemed to have forgotten the purpose of her trip. Instead, she asked curiously: "Is he as handsome as in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"?"
Dai Sicong is not a rigid person either. He joked: "All of his confidantes are beautiful women, so don't let your fantasies seduce them."
"Huh, I'm also a beautiful woman, okay?" Wang Fei said dissatisfied.
Dai Sicong laughed and said: "Haha, you are too thin, like a bamboo pole."
Wang Fei curled her lips and said, "My name is Slim, and there are many people chasing me."
Dai Sicong said: "In front of the teacher, don't talk nonsense. Another day the teacher will introduce you to a handsome boy as your boyfriend."
"Humph, I don't want you to introduce me," Wang Fei waved her hand, took two steps with a bound, then turned back and said, "By the way, the newspaper said that Mr. Kang wants a record. Teacher, do you know what he is singing?
Song?"
Dai Sicong came to Fengxing Records some time ago and actually listened to it. He said: "There are 4 songs in a tape ep, two of which are about Hong Kong and two about Beijing. They are in Cantonese and Mandarin respectively."
"Singing about Hong Kong and Beijing? That must be very interesting." Wang Fei said with a smile.
The popular songs on the market today all sing about love and love. How can any of them have themes about two cities?
Dai Sicong nodded and said: "It's very interesting. The two Hong Kong songs in it are both classics."
"To be praised by the teacher, it seems that Mr. Kang is really talented." Wang Fei said with a smile. Before she came to Hong Kong, she had participated in the World Peace Year - Tomorrow Will Be Better Concert, the theme song of the concert
It was created by Kang Jianfei. Wang Fei was not yet an adult at the time, so her name was not on the program list, but she was deeply impressed by Kang Jianfei from that time on.
Walking into the administrative building where Fengxing Records is located, Wang Feicai put away her lively and uninhibited temper and followed Dai Sicong honestly.
As it happened, as soon as they entered, they met Kang Jianfei and Peng Guohua coming downstairs.
"Hello, Mr. Kang!" Wang Fei greeted him very proactively. Kang Jianfei's status as a mainland immigrant made her feel very close to him.
"Hello... eh!" Kang Jianfei originally responded casually, but when he saw Wang Fei's face clearly, he couldn't help but stop.
Dai Sicong stretched out his hand and said: "Hello, Mr. Kang, I am Dai Sicong, and this is my student Wang Fei."
"I have admired you for a long time, this is Mr. Peng Guohua, the boss of Taiwan UFO Records." Kang Jianfei introduced casually.
"Nice to meet you!" Dai Sicong and Peng Guohua greeted each other.
Kang Jianfei pointed at Wang Fei and said with a smile: "I know this Miss Wang Jingwen. Her album sold well last year and she has great potential for development."
Dai Sicong was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Afei is a very good kid. He is down-to-earth and hard-working, and his innate conditions are also very good."
Kang Jianfei didn't know when Wang Fei came to Hong Kong. It wasn't until Wang Fei's new album became a hit last year that he knew that Wang Fei had been debuting for three years. However, Wang Fei was signed to China Star Records and was only a young singer.
Kang Jianfei really didn't have much interest in poaching.
But today Dai Sicong led Wang Fei to Fengxing Records, which made sense. Kang Jianfei glanced at the master and apprentice and asked with a smile: "Aren't you going to work at Huaxing Records, Miss Wang?"
Dai Sicong wanted to say something tactfully, but Wang Fei replied bluntly: "Yes, my colleagues over there are so hateful."
"Haha, there are so many popular people. Miss Wang needs to get used to it. Boss Peng and I still have something to talk about. Goodbye." Kang Jianfei didn't show much enthusiasm. For this kind of thing, just call the branch later and sign Wang Fei over.
It's just a small thing.
Watching the two people walk out of the door, Wang Fei said disappointedly: "It seems there is no chance."
Dai Sicong smiled and said: "It's 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 one of their own. Kang Jianfei did not hide anything and said with a smile: "That girl just now has great potential."
"Oh, after Mr. Kang said this, I am somewhat interested in her." Peng Guohua said with a smile.
Kang Jianfei said: "She is from the mainland, and she has no problem speaking Mandarin. She can first sing Cantonese songs to become famous in Hong Kong, and then switch to Mandarin songs to develop in Taiwan and the mainland at the same time. Since she took the initiative to jump here, in our star promotion plan
, you can add one more person.”
"You value her so much?" Peng Guohua asked in surprise. He couldn't help but be surprised, because every singer in the celebrity promotion plan is a key training target of the two companies.
Kang Jianfei said: "I can't say for sure now. This girl has not yet formed her own style. We will know in two years when she becomes more mature."
Peng Guohua asked: "By the way, I have sent you a lot of information about creating a women's team. Do you have any good candidates?"
"Only one has been chosen for the time being," Kang Jianfei said.
Peng Guohua asked: "Who?"
Kang Jianfei said: "Xu Shujuan."
Peng Guohua said speechlessly: "How could it be her? Wang Sihan and Wu Peiyu have more characteristics."
The Little Tigers are now popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. UFO Records is planning to create a girl group based on the model of the Little Tigers. The tentative members are three girls, Xu Shujuan, Wang Sihan, and Wu Peiyu.
Among the three, Xu Shujuan is neither the sweetest nor the best singer. Peng Guohua really can't understand why Kang Jianfei chose Xu Shujuan to create a super girl group.
"You can find another girl to fill in for the girls team. I want Xu Shujuan, and I will build her myself." After Kang Jianfei finished speaking, he added, "Xu Shujuan's name is too vulgar, so let's change her name to Xu Ruoxuan."
Peng Guohua is a little uncomfortable with Kang Jianfei's rhythm. Now that everyone is in the honeymoon period of cooperation, he is too lazy to argue with Kang Jianfei because of a new person.
With the successful precedent of the Little Tigers, Peng Guohua is very confident in the upcoming girl team. As for Kang Jianfei's super girl team, let him do it. Peng Guohua is also looking forward to what Kang Jianfei can come up with. r1152
