Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 312
Huang Xiong pouted, whistled and entered his bedroom.

Stubborn, old-fashioned
A big hat has long been pressed on his father's head.

Yu Dongqing and the others stayed at the Grand Hyatt Hotel where he stayed last time. It is located in Causeway Bay, not far from Victoria Harbour, and the scenery is beautiful.

Since the performance in Xiangjiang this time is a public performance, all the expenses are borne by the studio, but Luo Yun still chose this five-star hotel to stay.

Now the studio is not short of money.

Since there was a performance tomorrow night and a simple rehearsal during the day, Yu Dongqing politely declined invitations from some celebrities in the entertainment industry. In the evening, the group circled around Victoria Bay and went back to the hotel for an early rest.

This year's celebration of Hong Kong's return to cultural performances is still held at the Hung Hom Stadium, commonly known as the Red Hall.

The red hall is not too big, it can accommodate about 1 people. At night, the audience seats on all sides of the red hall are full.

Huang Qihui also came.

As a well-known musician in Xiangjiang, there are naturally free tickets. He should have rested at home according to his physical condition, but he still came to the scene.

He wanted to see what kind of song this Yu Dongqing would sing at the party?

Huang Qihui's position is in the green zone, where there are basically celebrities in the entertainment industry, Xia Wenxi, Liu Guoliang and others are all in the front row, Huang Qihui found his position, and Huang Houhua happened to be on the left.

Huang Qihui and Huang Houhua both called the "two yellows" in the Xiangjiang music scene, but Huang Houhua was younger. When he saw the other party coming, although the two had not had much contact in private, they still took the initiative to greet each other and asked with concern: "Brother Qihui, are you healthy?" How is your recovery going?"

"Basically healed."

"That's good, the body is the capital of the revolution."

The two were chatting, and soon the topic shifted to the performance at the party.

"The scale of this gala is quite large. All three generations of artists from Xiangjiang, old, middle-aged and young, will perform on stage, and singers from the mainland and Macau will also be invited. Let's celebrate together." Huang Houhua looked at the program list in his hand and sighed.

Hearing Huang Houhua's invitation to invite mainland and Macau singers, Huang Qihui felt faintly unhappy. He said: "I don't think it is necessary to invite mainland and Macau singers. Even if invited, we should invite those old artists with both virtue and skill to sing."

Both virtue and art?

Heh, you, Huang Qihui, even used words that the mainland entertainment industry often likes to say?
Of course Huang Houhua knew who Huang Qihui was dissatisfied with.

He really didn't understand why he had such a big prejudice against that inlander Yu Dongqing?

In fact, it is just that literati look down on each other and are jealous.

Huang Houhua really couldn't understand his attitude, so he continued: "I heard that Yu Dongqing brought three new songs this time and they are all in Cantonese. Unfortunately, I only know the title of the song and haven't announced the lyrics and tune, which makes people look forward to it. .”

"Playing tricks!" Huang Qihui snorted.

"You mean, his new song isn't very good?" Huang Houhua deliberately asked.

"It is said that he wrote these three songs in only three days, what quality do you think?!" Huang Qihui asked back.

This is true.

A bit too fast, isn't it?

Huang Houhua nodded, but added: "Maybe Yu Dongqing, I don't think it can be speculated with common sense?"

"Joke! He is also a person! Could it be that the god of music, Ling Lun, descended to earth?! I dare say that the quality of his three new songs is definitely not as good as the few Cantonese songs he created before!"

Huang Qihui's words were decisive.

Huang Houhua knew who Huang Qihui was referring to as Ling Lun. According to legend, he was a music official during the Yellow Emperor's period. He chose bamboo tubes with well-proportioned inner chambers and chamber walls to make five-tone twelve-temperament, which was revered as the god of music by later generations.

Of course Yu Dongqing is not a music god, but Huang Houhua has inexplicable confidence in the three new songs.

At this time, the performance officially started, and the two stopped talking.

Yu Dongqing and the others were waiting in the waiting room. According to the order of the performances, they were ranked No. 15, which was regarded as a late position.

There was overwhelming singing and cheering outside, and they looked very relaxed and chatted.

"Oh, Wu Jingqi is here, her voice," Zhang Yang said.

Yu Dongqing listened carefully, and it turned out to be Wu Jingqi's slightly resentful voice, singing the Mandarin version of "Dream Awakening Time"!
你 说 你 爱 了 不 的 的 人
你 的 心 中 是 伤痕
你 说 你 犯 了 不 的 的 错
心中 满 是 悔恨
"Don't say that this girl has a pretty good voice, which is very suitable for singing this kind of lingering and resentful song." Liu Yimin who was next to her also commented.

Lingering?Resentment?
Yu Dongqing suddenly thought of the episode "Ten Miles of Pinghu" written by Huang Zhan of Time and Space for "A Chinese Ghost Story". Although there are only four sentences, it is full of grievances.

Any chance of letting her sing?
Wu Jingqi sang three songs on stage, besides the song "When I Wake Up", there was also "The Most Real Dream" and the Cantonese version of "A Lang's Love Song".

They were all songs written by Yu Dongqing for her!

"Tsk tsk. Dongqing, Wu Jingqi is really your little girl." Zhang Yang joked again.

"No way, who asked him to sing all the good songs to others." Luo Yun took over the words.

"Hey, Luo Yun, are you jealous? Then you can't get enough of this jealousy? Do the math, how many female singers has Dongqing written songs for? Which song is not good?" Zhang Yang said.

"Why are you so jealous? I wish he could write more and better, so that the income will be more, and my surprise will also have more commission!"

"Oh, Luo Yun, who is going to be the boss's wife, still cares about this little money? His is not yours?"

Among the four, Zhang Yang likes to joke the most, Luo Yun is eloquent, and the two sometimes meet each other.

Yu Dongqing didn't get involved, just quietly listening to the singers outside, and he heard Lu Wanyu singing "Like You" and "Where We Don't Meet in Life" in Cantonese.

The girl's voice is also quite good, full and high-pitched, in stark contrast to Wu Jingqi's.

The last is the song "Broad Sea and Sky" sung by Tongguang Band!
Today I watch the snow drift by in the cold night
Flying far away with a cooled heart

Wu Qinghua's voice sounded, and a chorus immediately resounded in the gymnasium.

Forgive me for my unruly and indulgent love and freedom in my life
I'm afraid that one day I'll fall

Sure enough, it is a classic among classics, no matter in which time and space it is placed, it can always arouse people's sympathy.

Soon, it was the turn of the Qingmanshoe Band to play, and the four of them stepped onto the stage in good spirits and took their positions.

The first "Pearl of the Orient".

The small river bends to the south

Flow to Xiangjiang to take a look

Pearl of the Orient My Lover
Is your style still romantic
The audience was quiet, and Yu Dongqing's slightly hoarse voice flowed throughout the gymnasium.

Huang Qihui also listened quietly.

Although I don't like Yu Dongqing very much, and I don't like Mandarin songs, but I have to admit that this is a good song.

It was written by Xiangjiang.

Somewhat romantic, tender and blessing.

The Pearl of the Orient perfectly interprets the characteristics of this city.

The night is charming, neon is everywhere, thousands of bright lights, hundreds of miles of light, and waves of mutual brilliance
After Yu Dongqing sang the first song, he immediately received thunderous applause, then he took a step forward, took the microphone, and said in Cantonese instead of Mandarin: "Next, I present a new song called "I Like You" "Thanks!"
