Reborn Hong Kong Wild Age

Chapter 12
The lake and the sea wash my mind
rivers and mountains float my shadow
Clouds wave away but don't go

win a breeze

Dust can't touch my heart
love can't hold this heart

Come and go freely

……

The tape recorder played "Chu Liuxiang" sung by Zheng Shaoqiu, and Gu Xiayang sang along softly while tinkering with his Canon NewF-1.

The "film age" of photography can't get around Nikon F3 and Canon New F-1, which were the undisputed kings in the 80s.

It is generally believed that in the film era, Nikon's workmanship is generally better than that of Canon.There is only one exception: the New F-1.

In the 60s and 70s, the SLR market was dominated by Nikon.At that time, Canon was obsessed with the rangefinder, and it was many years behind its opponents when it entered the SLR market.

But how could the ambitious Canon be willing to give up the throne to others, so in 1971 Canon launched its first-generation flagship SLR F-1, which directly pointed to Nikon's big F in terms of performance, workmanship and reliability.

It's a pity that it was born at an untimely time. In the same year, Nikon launched the F2, which was more complete than the big F in all aspects and consolidated its dominance.

Until the 80s more than ten years later, the second year after Nikon released the F3, Canon also launched its own new generation of flagship.

This is an unprecedented camera. Canon is determined to overwhelm Nikon in terms of professionalism and reliability, so it has an unprecedented precision mechanical structure, solid shell, and solid workmanship; considering that subsequent cameras have entered the era of automatic and electronic , few people make a fuss about mechanical reliability, so this is also unprecedented.

"Three generations of SLR are poor, and photography ruins life. I started the era of SLR street photography in the 80s!"

Holding the Canon NewF-1 full of mechanical style, Gu Xiayang couldn't help but laugh.

……

Under the setting sun, a beautiful figure is walking towards Qiye Village.

Zhou Huimin is in a particularly good mood today, because the registration for the Rookie Singing Contest went very smoothly.

According to the normal situation, after registering, you have to go home and wait for the notification.Just like Liang Chaowei and the others signed up for the wireless artist training class, they had to audition for performances on the day of registration, and they had to wait for half a month after returning home, and then they had to confirm their names on TVB newspapers before they could know whether they were admitted.

The registration for this rookie singing competition is probably due to Zhou Huimin's outstanding appearance, coupled with the experience accumulated in singing in the past two years, the interviewer hinted that she was successful in the first round of audition.

Gu Xiayang, who had estimated that the cat would be not far away at dinner time, looked at the little Jew in the sunset, frantically pressed the shutter, and invested 2 yuan in it. Is it still short of the money for the film?

"Little Jew!"

Gu Xiayang came out suddenly and called Zhou Huimin. The moment she turned around with wide eyes, there was a 'click', and time was left in the sunset.

Seeing that it was Gu Xiayang, Zhou Huimin smiled unconsciously, but then looked at the camera in his hand, and asked in confusion, "Why are you photographing me?"

"Bought a new camera and tried the effect."

Gu Xiayang waved the camera in his hand casually, and asked, "I've seen you very happy from afar, the registration is successful, right?"

"Hee hee! That's right."

Thinking of this, Zhou Huimin couldn't help being happy.Bright eyes and white teeth, especially touching.

"Congratulations, you might be a big singer in the future!"

Gu Xiayang understood Zhou Huimin's joy very well.In particular, Anita Mui won the first prize in the first Rookie Singing Contest, and her singing career went smoothly. Today, the popular singers in the Hong Kong music scene are also attracting countless young people with musical dreams.

"Thank you, how is your work with your classmates?"

"Here, you saw it!"

Gu Xiayang raised the camera, and said: "I joined a magazine, and after that, I will run news and write manuscripts, which is quite free."

"Wow! You have become a great reporter, Gu Xiayang, congratulations."

"How high is the monthly salary?"

"It's not high, just 6000 yuan!"

With little stars shining in Zhou Huimin's eyes, he raised his tone and said, "It's only 6000 yuan!!!! If I had just joined the job, I would have 6000 yuan, and I would definitely work hard!"

"Well."

Gu Xiayang looked at Zhou Huimin, who was like a money fan, and smiled.

Because Little Jew joined Radio Television Hong Kong later, with her outstanding appearance and beautiful voice, she soon became the DJ host of Radio Television Hong Kong's second youth program "Symphony of Youth", and it only took one year , has become the most perfect goddess in the minds of more than 6 listeners of the "Symphony of Youth" in Hong Kong.

And when she was a radio DJ host, her salary was just over 6000 yuan a month, and she was really desperate!
"In order to celebrate the progress of our two careers, I decided to go to your house for dinner tonight."

"Huh? Why didn't I go to your house for dinner!!!"

Zhou Huimin puffed up her mouth and said, "You have 6000 yuan for a month!"

Gu Xiayang spread his hands, and the rascal said: "Because my mother called me, and she won't be home for dinner today, and asked me to solve it myself."

"Humph!"

Zhou Huimin turned her head arrogantly, swayed her ponytail and walked towards home first, Gu Xiayang followed behind with a smile.

"There is a heroine for City Surprise, and I will definitely surprise you when the time comes! The job of a radio DJ host, I am afraid you will never have a chance in this life."

Wait until "Cool! magazine, as the first issue of the main column - City Surprise, Zhou Huimin with a good face will definitely become the goddess of teenagers, how could TVB miss her by then, and I have other surprises to give her as a thank you present.

The two went upstairs together, but Gu Xiayang opened the door of his own room.

"Aren't you coming to my house for dinner?"

"I have something to give you, come here right away."

"Why are you giving me something all of a sudden?"

Zhou Huimin felt a little strange, but she was vaguely looking forward to what Gu Xiayang would give her.

"Don't be a caterpillar!"

Zhou Huimin's childhood memories suddenly appeared in Zhou Huimin's mind. That day, Gu Xiayang mysteriously said that he had something good to give to herself, and handed over a box. After she opened it, she was frightened and cried.

It didn't take long for Gu Xiayang to enter Zhou Huimin's house with things, and Zhou's mother was busy cooking in the kitchen.

"You want to give me a guitar?"

Seeing Gu Xiayang holding a guitar, Zhou Huimin wondered, "I don't know how to play the guitar!"

Gu Xiayang stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead quickly, and said: "The guitar is so expensive, how can I give it to you, hey, here is this. I didn't say it in the car. If you sign up successfully, I will ask Daydream to give it to you." You write a song, I promise to make you a big singer."

Zhou Huimin rubbed her forehead, took the two pieces of paper from Gu Xiayang, and her eyes gradually lit up.

The first piece of paper is Tears piano score, and the other one is actually a song with staves.

"like the wind?"

Zhou Huimin looked at the lyrics with wide eyes. It seemed that this was really a new song, and she had never seen it before.

Both pages read: I wish you success, signed 'Daydream'.

"Come and leave like the wind, or everything in the world is just a dream, people are on the way, people are in time and space, acquaintances may just pass by in dreams..."

"The lyrics are so well written! Is he your classmate? He can compose music. Wow, besides piano music, he can also write songs. It's amazing."

"Are you students of the Chinese University of Hong Kong so good?"

"so so."

Seeing Zhou Huimin's shocked expression, Gu Xiayang thought in his heart that this classmate's surname was Gu, Gu Xiayang's Gu.

"Try it out?"

"I……"

Zhou Huimin was a little embarrassed. Although she had singing experience, she had never sung to anyone in private.Especially since it was Gu Xiayang who was sitting now, she didn't even understand that she was flustered.

"Excuse me? This is not acceptable. You want to be a big singer, and you can't be stage frightened under any circumstances."

Gu Xiayang smiled, held the guitar for a try, and started playing, then pouted at Zhou Huimin, signaling her to hurry up.

"There is a person who once let me know that it is so good to be parasitic in the world. His arms made me not distressed, and he made me proud. I talked to that person and smiled with him. ..."

From the embarrassing stumbling at the beginning, Zhou Huimin gradually immersed himself in the emotion of the song, and his performance began to stabilize.

Gu Xiayang smiled and played the guitar, Zhou Huimin's face was a little red when he watched him, Zhou's mother in the kitchen heard the music and came out to see this scene, then turned and went back to the kitchen.

After singing, Zhou Huimin finally let out a long sigh of relief.I felt that the singing when I went to Lee Stage to sign up today was not as nervous as before!
"not bad."

Gu Xiayang, who put down the guitar, nodded and said, "You need to practice more, and after the first test, you can sing this song "Ru Feng"!"

"Is this okay?" Zhou Huimin looked a little surprised.

Gu Xiayang knew the little Jew's concerns, and said with a smile: "It's okay, my classmate told me about this song, and I will treat it as a gift for you! If you can advance to the semi-finals, he will write it for you, and then advance to the finals , continue to write, if you win the gold medal and become popular, he will also become famous."

Knowing that Zhou Huimin was participating in the Rookie Singing Contest, Gu Xiayang also made a special trip to learn about the competition system.

After the newcomers successfully sign up, the first round is the initial test, followed by the re-test, and then the final.Only 14 people can be shortlisted for the finals. TVB will broadcast the whole process live. In addition to the performances by popular artists and singers, there will be quite a few representatives from the media and record companies.

Gu Xiayang knew that if it wasn't for him, Zhou Huimin would have chosen the Japanese song "Favorite" written and composed by Miyuki Nakajima very much, but in the end he was eliminated in the first test. Miraculously, the Mandarin version of "Favorite" was later also Sung by her.

In addition to Du Dewei and Su Yongkang who won the awards this year, there are also the famous Li Keqin and Caomeng Band, but they were all eliminated after the re-examination.

"When you take part in a competition with songs that no one has heard before, it's easy to attract attention. You need to be more confident, and you also need to practice Mandarin. Big singers can't just sing Cantonese songs."

After Gu Xiayang finished speaking, Zhou Huimin saw Zhou Huimin's expression of 'this is not the Gu Xiayang I know', and immediately patted her forehead and said, "Are you listening seriously!"

"Gu Xiayang, it hurts!"

Zhou Huimin pouted angrily, and asked doubtfully, "How can you play the guitar so well?"

Zhou Huimin knew about Gu Xiayang's ability to play the guitar. She often heard it next door for a year, and she was tortured. She didn't expect to hear it a few years later, and it was already so pleasant.

"I see! You must have formed a band with your classmates in college. Hee hee, am I so smart?"

The self-proclaimed Zhou Huimin showed an envious expression: "It would be great if I also went to college."

At this time, Zhou's mother had already come out with the dishes, and Gu Xiayang put down the guitar: "Stop dreaming, get ready to eat, I'm hungry."

He said so, but Gu Xiayang already had an idea in his heart.

What kind of wish is missing university? Later, Chen Huixian, who had just become famous and was in the rising stage of her career, went from the "Chen Lin Controversy" with her classmate Lin Yilian to the "Thousand Eve Controversy" between "Song of Thousand Thousands of Ques" and "Song of the Setting Sun". ', at the most noisy time, she was wearing a white diamond-encrusted wedding dress, crying like rain at a concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum.

Finally, Chen Huixian stood on the stage, gently waved her hands, and bid farewell to the audience who loved her and the stage she loved gracefully.

For many years, people always thought that she was angry for a while, until she later clarified in the interview that she was because of a promise.

Chen Huixian's father has always disapproved of her entering the entertainment industry, but he couldn't stand his daughter's begging, so he made a three-pronged agreement: sing first, and then go abroad to study in university after saving enough money.

"As my little lucky star and good neighbor, this wish, when you feel that the entertainment industry is really boring, and you want to be relaxed and comfortable, without having to dress up in front of others all the time, let alone worry about record sales, I will arrange the most perfect show for you." Let's call it a curtain call!" Gu Xiayang, who was devouring Zhou's family meal, decided to repay the kindness of the meal.
