Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1019 Bar Singer
As night fell, there were guests entering the Wave Bar one after another.

At this time, an ATV worker named Li Tong came here to order a glass of wine as usual, and then sat quietly.

During this time, he would come to the Wave Bar almost every night, order a glass of wine, and then listen to the resident singer.

Sometimes when meeting a singer he likes, Li Tong will find a way to get the contact information of the other party, and then persuade the other party to participate in the "Starlight Talent Singing Contest".

After this period of time, he has collected several singers who he thinks have potential, and they have all successfully signed up.

However, after hearing that Sister Liu, who was in the same group, had already drawn [-] contestants to sign up, Li Tong did not dare to neglect.

But it's a pity that he ran all day today, but he didn't find any good singers.

At this moment on the stage, a young man was singing a lyrical song, "The Wind Continues to Blow" by Leslie Cheung.

This song is adapted from Momoe Yamaguchi's "Goodbye to the Other Side", an album of the same name released by Leslie Cheung in 1983.

Once "The Wind Continues to Blow" was released, it was immediately enthusiastically sought after by the public, and this song was sung in the streets and alleys.

And it is also very popular among young people, it can be regarded as a classic song of Leslie Cheung.

Li Tong has listened to the song "The Wind Continues to Blow" many times, but almost all of them were sung by Leslie Cheung.

But tonight, when listening to the young man on stage playing the song "The Wind Continues to Blow", he suddenly felt that there was a faint shadow of Leslie Cheung in the other party.

Taking note of the other party's appearance, Li Tong decided to invite the other party to participate in the "Starlight Talent Singing Contest" after he finished singing.

After five songs, the young man finally finished singing, but there was only sparse applause in the bar.

Before leaving the stage, the young man noticed that one of the guests who applauded him seemed to be applauding there seriously, not in a perfunctory way.

Seeing this, the young man bowed deeply to the other party. After all, there are not many people who are willing to listen to his singing carefully.

Usually, in order to support his family, he has to sing in several bars, but recently, the number of bars he can run has decreased dramatically.

When he finished packing backstage and was about to leave the bar, he suddenly saw the guest who applauded him earnestly before.

"My name is Li Tong, a staff member of the ATV production team. This is my business card."

Li Tong handed his business card to the young man opposite.

When the other party heard that Li Tong was from ATV, he immediately showed a puzzled expression, but still took the other party's business card.

"Do you have anything to do with me?"

The staff of the TV station are simply unattainable existences for this young man, especially for a small person like him who wants to enter the entertainment industry.

Once a TV station staff is willing to help, it will definitely be better than him working in vain.

"I think you sing very well. Are you interested in signing up for the "Starlight Talent Singing Contest"?"

"you said I?"

The young man pointed to his nose and looked at Li Tong in shock.

He obviously didn't expect that the other party came to him because he wanted him to participate in the "Starlight Talent Singing Contest".

"Yes, your singing level is a bit like Leslie Cheung's, and your vocal line is also very good, and your singing is also stable. It is very hopeful that you can enter the top 16."

Li Tong didn't expect that the young man in front of him could be at the top three.

As long as he can enter the top 16, I can get at least 5 yuan.This has been his salary for more than a year.

"Round of 16? If I get to the round of 16, what good will it do?"

Hearing the other party's question, Li Tong was at a loss for words.

Contestants of the "Starlight Talent Singing Contest" had to win the top three to get bonuses and record contracts.

If he can only make it to the top 16, then for him, there is actually no benefit at all.

"It doesn't seem to be. If that's the case, then there's no need for me to participate."

In fact, he doesn't have much time, he has to rush to sing every night, and he has to go to work in the morning.

A family of four depends on him and his mother working to support him, so he has no time to play at all.

"2 yuan, if you can enter the top 16, I will reward you with 2 yuan, if you can advance from the top 16, the bonus will increase to [-] yuan, if you can get the top three... then you don't need mine Rewarded."

"why?"

The young man didn't understand why Li Tong said that.

"Don't you know that the top three not only have record contracts, but also rich rewards."

"Reward? What a generous reward."

Looking at his appearance, it seems that he really doesn't know about the rewards of the "Starlight Talent Singing Contest".

"No.1100 million, No.250 million, No.3 also has 20, don't you really know?"

Li Tong didn't expect that since the other party knew about the "Starlight Talent Singing Contest", how could they not know about the rewards?

"I attended."

When Li Tong finished speaking, the other party agreed without thinking about it.

He really didn't know about the rewards. If he knew, he would have gone to sign up a long time ago.

"That's great. Tomorrow you will come to ATV to find me. By the way, I don't know what to call you yet."

"My name is Zhang Weijian, you can call me Jianzi."

At this time, Zhang Weijian was only 19 years old.

It seems that he is completely different from the bald image of him in later generations.

With a young face and thick hair, there is no way to compare with Zhang Weijian in later generations.

Originally, in the previous life, Zhang Weijian was able to emerge because he got a phone call from Leslie Cheung by chance. After several months of calling, the call finally got through.

Then Zhang Weijian explained his situation to Leslie Cheung, but unexpectedly, the other party asked him to meet and gave him help.

Leslie Cheung did not transfer to Huaxing in this life, and Zhang Weijian also failed to get Leslie Cheung's phone number.

However, when he met Li Tong, he unknowingly led to the road of participating in the singing competition.

After returning home, Zhang Weijian couldn't fall asleep all night, and kept tossing and turning in bed.

If once you can enter the top three, life at home will not have to be so hard in the future.

And getting the bonus can not only improve the life of his family, but also give him the opportunity to concentrate on singing, his favorite path.

But is the top three so easy to get?Thinking of this, Zhang Weijian became anxious again.

In the end, he didn't know how he fell asleep. After the alarm clock rang the next day, Zhang Weijian opened his hazy eyes and immediately ran to wash up. Then he took the registration form and rushed to ATV to register.
