Superstars start from Hong Kong Entertainment

Chapter 506 Andy Lau's New Album Delayed
As soon as He Jin set off and came to Kowloon Golden Harvest Cinema, a phone call interrupted his elegance of watching movies.

"I'm going to slow down for the new album!"

This was the first sentence Andy Lau said after calling.

"what happened?"

"Warner talked to me, hoping that I can release a farewell album in their company, which can be regarded as the end of our friendly cooperation."

Andy Lau on the phone said.

He Jin was silent for a while, "I understand, then I'll make some arrangements and put your new album on the back."

The farewell album of Andy Lau and Warner, it is undoubtedly the "memories".

Among all Andy Lau's albums, this album's sales data and reputation are not high.

But this album is very meaningful to Andy Lau.

All songs on this album are covers.

Most of the songs are classic Cantonese songs from the 80s and [-]s.

After the release of this album, Andy Lau even published an autobiography "This Is How I Grow Up" with the tracks of this album to commemorate his journey from an ignorant child to a superstar.

"Warner has really benefited me a lot from the years of cooperation with me, so please forgive me."

Maybe it was because he felt that he had already signed Huaxing, but still released records for other record companies, and Huaxing's arch enemy Warner, which made him feel a little guilty, Andy Lau said apologetically.

"It's nothing. Warner really has nothing to say to you. It would be great to have a perfect ending."

He Jin smiled.

There were four stages in Andy Lau's singing career in his previous life.

These four stages are BMG, PolyGram, Warner, BMG/Entertainment.

The four stages represent the four peaks of his career.

In the 80s, he had an enemy with TVB, and his career fell to the bottom, until he signed with BMG Records and started to improve.

In the 90s, he moved to Xinyibao, a subsidiary of PolyGram, and his career flourished, becoming one of the three swordsmen in the Hong Kong music scene.

In 1992, he joined Warner Records and became the Four Heavenly Kings with great momentum.

In 1995, he bid farewell to Warner and returned to BGM. This period should be his most glorious time.

Since this period of time, the dominance of the four heavenly kings on the music scene has declined, and the new generation of singers has launched attacks on their positions.

Among them, the singing careers of Jacky Cheung, Liming and Aaron Kwok all declined.

Only Andy Lau, he is as stable as Lao Liu, no matter the wind and rain, no one can shake him a little.

Evergreen is indeed his symbol, because he is the only man in the music world who will stand at the top from the 90s to the future.

However, although it is said that Andy Lau in the BMG period in the late 90s was the most beautiful time.

But for Andy Lau, if there is no solid foundation from the Warner period, then his future achievements may take a different path.

In Andy Lau's singing career, he has released hundreds of songs.

Most of his well-known classics came from the Warner period.

"Thank you for your love" in Cantonese, "Water of Forgetfulness", "God's Will", "Happy Monkey", "True Style", "Secretly Obsessed".

These songs are all from the Warner period.

Of course, now we have to add a song "Seventeen Years Old".

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is precisely because of his singing career during Warner that there is Andy Lau who is loved by everyone in the future.

During the Warner period, the cooperation between Warner and Andy Lau should be regarded as a happy relationship.

Andy Lau in the Warner era has far more freedom in making music than he did in the days of BMG and Polygram.

During this period, the studio copyright of all Andy Lau's songs belonged to NewMelody, and Warner Records and Taiwan Warner UFO were only the publishers.

And NewMelody is a music studio registered and established by Andy Lau himself.

He Jin and Warner did have an affair, but he had to admit that Warner had nothing to say to Andy Lau.

Therefore, he will not refuse Andy Lau and Warner Music to draw a successful conclusion to the cooperation between the two parties.

"Just right, if your new album is still a while away, I can prepare my brother and my new album with peace of mind!"

He Jin smiled.

"Don't say too much, we brothers, everything is in words, I believe you understand me.

I have a new play here, and I still need to read the script, so I won't say much, I will treat you to dinner another day. "

Andy Lau said.

"it is good!"

As He Jin spoke, he was about to hang up the phone.

"and many more."

Just about to hang up, Andy Lau suddenly shouted.

"By the way, I took this movie as a motorcycle racing movie. Will starring in it affect "Fast and Furious"? After all, it is the same type of movie."

Andy Lau hesitated.

He naturally values ​​"Fast and Furious" more than he is taking on this movie now.

According to He Jin, there will be several follow-up films in this series, and he is one of the male protagonists.

If the current movie affects Fast and Furious, then he is naturally unwilling.

"what movie?"

He Jin asked.

Because of the success of "Fast and Furious", there are already many follow-up movies on the market.

Just like after the success of "Young and Dangerous" in the previous life, Chen Xiaochun, Ekin Cheng and others of the Young and Dangerous team received countless films of the same type.

"Fast and Furious" is no exception. He Jin's family has piled up several racing movies in which he was invited to act.

And Andy Lau is one of the male protagonists, and he is no exception, he must have received many movies of the same type.

Not only them, the supporting actors who starred in "Fast and Furious" have taken a lot of these movies.

Just like Yu Rongguang, when he talked with He Jin on the phone a few days ago, he said that he had received a copy of "Speed ​​Showdown".

According to Xiangjiang's practice, whoever hits the porcelain will be the one.

"Fast and Furious" became popular, so it was natural to touch it, so a bunch of films such as "Speed ​​Showdown", "Collision of Passion", "Fast Woman and Passionate Man" began to be approved.

"The film directed by Er Dongsheng is called "Chariots of Fire". It's about motorcycles, not racing cars!"

Andy Lau replied.

"Then you shoot!"

He Jin thought for a while, and remembered that this movie seemed to exist by itself.

In 1995 in the previous life, this movie also entered the top ten box office charts, which is considered a good movie.

As for Pengci's "Fast and Furious", that's fine.

Er Dongsheng is a director who likes to engage in literature and art.

No matter how commercial his films are, there will always be shadows of literary films in them.

So he wasn't worried that Andy Lau would play "Fast and Furious" after he played this movie.

"That's good. Oh, there is one more thing. Director Er asked me to ask you if you are interested in playing a guest role."

Andy Lau nodded and said again.

A trace of strangeness flashed across He Jin's face, "He really intends to touch porcelain!"

"Haha..., if you don't want to, forget it!"

Andy Lau laughed.

Andy Lau naturally understood Er Dongsheng's thoughts.

Although last year's "New Love" achieved a good box office, Er Dongsheng is still not very confident about this "Chariots of Fire", so he wanted He Jin and Andy Lau to gather in "Chariots of Fire" to increase the topic sex.

"Let's talk about it then! You know, I'm going to be very busy this year, and the album hasn't started recording yet!

By the way, pay attention to the schedule in February, "Fast and Furious 3" will be filmed in February. "

Busy will be the theme of He Jin this year.

He will spend most of his time on records.

In terms of movies, he currently only plans to star in "Fast and Furious 3". As for whether he will appear in other films in the future, it is unknown.

"You can figure it out! But if you have time, you can still make a guest appearance, just to expand your network.

This is how contacts come about. You help him once, and the next time you ask them, others will agree.

Moreover, it's just a guest appearance, and it won't take long. "

Andy Lau said on the phone.

"I know, I'll think about it."

He Jin still agrees with Andy Lau's words.

In the big dye vat of the entertainment industry, having a wide network of contacts is completely different from having no connections.
