1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 29 Magic Rock Records, meeting Huang Fei for the first time.

mid-October.

The crew of "Sunny Day" is preparing to shoot a scene where an old soldier watches a movie in a movie theater. Regarding the role of this old soldier, the first actor that Jiang Wen thought of was the old artist Fang Hua.

Movie fans of the older generation may be very familiar with him. After liberation, many red classics were born in our country. We can see it in familiar film works such as "Take Huashan Outsmart", "Plain Guerrillas", and "Railway Guard". The various roles he created.

Judging from his appearance, the old artist Fang Hua was born with a leopard head and eyes, and a fierce face. In the relatively "facial makeup" era in the past, Mr. Fang Hua's acting skills were not wide. In the eyes of all directors, he Belongs to a "special" actor.

He, Chen Qiang, Ge Cunzhuang, Chen Chen, and Liu Jiang are also known as the "Five Great Evil Men" on Huaguo's screen.

Jiang Wen, who grew up watching the "Red Classic", is naturally no stranger to him, and even for a long time, he has caused a great psychological shadow on the young Jiang Wen.

So much so that Jiang Wen's father often had to explain to his children: "Don't be afraid, it's his job to play the bad guy. In fact, he is a good guy off-screen, a good uncle!"

The words of his father left a deep impression on the young Jiang Wen, and also left a question that he could not find the answer to: "Why is everyone a good man, but this good uncle's job is to play the bad guy?" , can't people give him a chance to play a good guy?"

This kind of problem was finally solved after Jiang Wen himself became the director of the movie "Sunny Day", and he proposed an invitation to Fang Hua.

When this old actor, who was nearly seventy years old, heard that the young Jiang Wen wanted him to play an old general, he seemed very excited, but he couldn't believe it.

At this time, Fang Hua was far away in Guangzhou, and his physical condition was not very good, but Jiang Wen, who had always had such an obsession, still stubbornly chose him, and arranged for Teacher Fang Hua to bring his family and doctors. Come together to ensure that he is treated with the highest possible treatment.

That night.

Jiang Wen dug up the video of "Plain Guerrillas" in the hotel and watched it again. It really felt like a dream had come true.

A person who could only be seen on TV before will come out of the screen and stand in front of me tomorrow, and will help him complete his directorial debut, which is indeed exciting enough.

The next day, Jiang Wen deliberately changed into a very formal outfit, and the two met at the Monkey King Hotel in Yanjing.

Coming from a distance, before Jiang Wen had time to say hello to Teacher Fang Hua, the other party bowed to him first: "I thank you, you gave me a second artistic life!"

Jiang Wen naturally seemed a little flattered. He stepped forward and supported Teacher Fang Hua: "Don't do this. I grew up watching your movies and admired you since I was a child."

After taking his seat, Jiang Wenwen took a closer look at the old artist in front of him. He was no longer as "vicious" as he remembered, and even looked kindly.

During the process of the two talking about the roles, Teacher Fang Hua seemed a little excited. He said to Jiang Wen: "I have been playing devils since the first time I acted. The more devils I play, the more people think I am a devil. I should play a devil all my life, but you let me play a People's Liberation Army, can you tell me, what do you think?"

Jiang Wen thought for a while, and said: "The ghost you play is certainly penetrating, but in my eyes, you are a great actor, and a good actor should be able to play anything, not to mention that in my eyes, you are more like a heroic and decent man." soldier!"

At this time, Teacher Fang Hua couldn't hold back any longer, and tears flowed down his old face.

Although Mr. Fang Hua didn't have many plays, he was still very happy that he was able to play the role of the People's Liberation Army in his later years. He cared about this role very much.

After joining the crew of "Sunny Day", Fang Hua asked the staff to find military uniforms of different seasons. He tried them one by one, straightened his waist, and paced up and down in the yard, as if a child wore them during the Chinese New Year. The new clothes seem to have been immersed in the character and blended with it.

During the period when Mr. Fang Hua joined the filming group, Jiang Xiaofeng happened to have no part in the film, so he spared time and energy to compose the second rock song - "Blue Lotus".

This time, Jiang Xiaofeng decided not to keep a low profile, and directly sacrificed two classic rock songs, "Blue Lotus" and "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", to see if he could reach a cooperation with Moyan Cultural Records.

For the two songs "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and "Blue Lotus", Jiang Xiaofeng is still very confident.

From Jiang Xiaofeng's point of view, if Moyan Culture Records thinks these two songs are not good, it's not his fault, but they don't know how to appreciate them at all.

After sorting out the lyrics and music of the two songs "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and "Blue Lotus", Jiang Xiaofeng took his ID card and original lyrics and other materials to the Yanjing Copyright Bureau to apply for the copyright of the songs.

July 10, afternoon.

Jiang Xiaofeng brought the music score and a guitar on his back, and accompanied by He Yong, he came to the Moyan Culture Company.

Strictly speaking, Moyan Culture is actually a subsidiary of Rolling Stone Records in the mainland. It operates Huaguo rock music, mainly Yanjing, and established the "Huaguo Fire" brand.

The name of Magic Stone comes from the fact that all the subsidiaries of the Rolling Stone series are named after stone. Zhang Peiren hopes to be more magnificent than stone, so it is called MagicStone.

As for the devil, he thinks that the music environment of this era is full of hypocritical voices, so comparing the stories in martial arts novels, he thinks that he is more like a person in the devil's sect than the famous and decent people in the market. It is a different kind, but it is also a free self-expression, so it is named Magic Rock.

Soon, under the recommendation of He Yong, Jiang Xiaofeng met Zhang Peiren of Demon King Culture, and explained to him that he wanted to cooperate with Moyan Records.

In the process of communication, Zhang Peiren gave off a very special aura, tall, humorous, and decent, which is different from many jerks who play rock and roll.

After learning about Jiang Xiaofeng's situation, Zhang Peiren didn't hesitate. He wanted to listen to Jiang Xiaofeng's song demo before deciding whether to cooperate with him.

In fact, since 1990, Zhang Peiren has often come to Yanjing from Taiwan to investigate the local music market.

Over the past two or three years, Zhang Peiren found sadly that there are not many young musicians who are truly talented and thoughtful, and only Dou Wei, Zhang Chu, and He Yong are the three to pick and choose.

Therefore, Zhang Peiren didn't have much expectations for the works brought by Jiang Xiaofeng, but just had the mentality of trying them out.

Facing Zhang Peiren's proposal, Jiang Xiaofeng said helplessly: "I'm sorry Mr. Zhang, I didn't record a song demo, I'll sing it live for you."

Zhang Peiren didn't make things difficult for Jiang Xiaofeng, and said, "Okay, then you can sing, I'll listen."

"it is good."

After speaking, Jiang Xiaofeng hugged the guitar, plucked the strings lightly, and began to sing the song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" in front of Zhang Peiren and He Yong.

Just as Jiang Xiaofeng was engaged in the interpretation of the song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", Dou Wei, who had just come out of the recording studio, and his girlfriend Huang Fei, who accompanied him to the recording, happened to pass by the door of Zhang Peiren's office.

The two looked at each other, obviously attracted by Jiang Xiaofeng's singing, and stopped involuntarily.

"I pray to have a transparent heart

and tearful eyes

give me the courage to believe again

oh, hug you over lies
Whenever I can't find the meaning of existence

whenever i get lost in the dark

oh~ the brightest star in the night sky

please guide me close to you

......"

Although Jiang Xiaofeng is not a professional singer with a professional background, and his singing skills are not good, his singing voice is very sincere, high-pitched, full of energy, and very penetrating.

In addition, the song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" itself is an inspiring rock song, which immediately shocked the four people present.

And because Jiang Xiaofeng wanted to sing while playing, he didn't notice that there were two more listeners in the office.

After singing the song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", Zhang Peiren held back the excitement in his heart and asked full of expectation: "Mr. Jiang, do you have any other works?"

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't hide it either. He smiled faintly and replied, "Yes, I'll sing you a song "Blue Lotus"."

After saying this, Jiang Xiaofeng suddenly saw that there were two more people in the room at some point.

Jiang Xiaofeng took a closer look, was also taken aback, and said to himself, isn't this fucking Dou Wei and Huang Fei?
