Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 24 Taiwanese Funny Girl

While Yang Ye was filming the movie, Zheng Donghan of Polydor was not idle and sold "Under the Lion Rock" to Nanyang.

There are a large number of Cantonese-speaking people in Nanyang, and Cantonese songs and Cantonese movies are very popular there.

So far, the sales volume of the album "Under the Lion Rock" has exceeded 15 copies, and is still growing slowly.

How much money can Yang Ye get from such a high sales volume?Two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars.

It can be seen that it is still difficult for Yang Ye to repay his debts by selling records, unless he releases one record a month and sells it all.

However, the selling point of Yang Ye's records is creation, and his own singing skills and timbre can only be considered passable.

As a singer-songwriter, he can release two albums a year which is incredible.

But no matter what, Yang Ye is now famous in Nanyang. Zheng Donghan is planning Yang Ye to hold a concert in Nanyang to make money, but Yang Ye is not free now.

Well, to be precise, I don’t have time to go to Singapore and Malaysia. The concert in Taipei has been approved and confirmed.

From the 60s to the early 70s, Hong Kong was the era of Mandarin songs. Singers such as Jenny Tseng, Teresa Teng, and Liu Wenzheng were all very popular in Hong Kong.

During this period, basically only records by Taiwanese singers were sold in Hong Kong. It was difficult for Hong Kong singers to sell records in Taiwan.

But Yang Ye is an exception. The songs selected in the album "Under the Lion Rock" are all supreme classics in the next ten years. As long as a singer owns one of them, it can be regarded as a masterpiece, and he will be able to earn a lifetime salary.Records like this can naturally break the language barrier.

After "Under the Lion Rock" was released in Taiwan, the sales volume exceeded [-]. Suddenly, the media in Hong Kong and Taiwan were shocked and made a large number of reports.

The Taiwanese media exclaimed that Cantonese songs were coming, while the Hong Kong media boasted that Cantonese songs were coming to the Taiwanese market, and they were quite proud of their words.

At the same time, Yang Ye's novels also spread to Taiwan.

"Ming Pao" published "Iron-blooded Genius" and "Kunlun Tianji Volume", which sold 30 copies in Hong Kong.It was later published in Taiwan and caused an instant sensation.

Martial arts masters such as Gu Long and Zhuge Qingyun all praised Yang Ye.

Yang Ye's books and monographs have caused a sensation in Taiwan, so it is natural to hold a concert to meet fans and consolidate his popularity.

It happened that Yang Ye was going to Taiwan to shoot a movie, so the two things were done together.

……

Yang Ye got up early, did two sets of boxing, took a shower, drank morning tea, and then walked slowly to Polydo's recording studio.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a cute girl with a round face chatting with Zheng Donghan.

This girl is naturally the generational singer Teresa Teng. The current singer has just turned 20 years old and is already very famous in Southeast Asia.

After signing the contract with Polydor this year, it also entered the Japanese benzene market.

Yang Ye was about to step forward to say hello when he heard Deng Lijun say to Zheng Donghan with a smile: "I saw your son Xiaojiji yesterday!"

Zheng Donghan has black hair, and his son is Zheng Zhongji, who is two years old this year.It was unclear whether Deng Lijun was talking about his son or his son's little brother.

"He's so cute."

"Really?"

"Nothing like you!"

Zheng Donghan's smile froze instantly.

Yang Ye was listening and almost laughed out loud. He never expected that a generation of diva could be a funny girl.

And if she teases Zheng Donghan like this, isn't she afraid that people will hit her?

But she was right about one thing, because the Zheng family and his son did not look alike.

Although Zheng Donghan is not handsome, he can still be called a talented person. His son Tyrannosaurus...

Yang Ye coughed and said, "This is Miss Deng Lijun."

Deng Lijun turned around and saw Yang Ye, and immediately said with a bright smile: "Young Master Yang, you are here, I have been waiting so hard for you!"

Yang Ye suddenly had a black line on his face, what the hell!You are the goddess of my biological parents, can you be more reserved?

Zheng Donghan laughed and said, "Since both of you have admired your name for a long time, there is no need for introduction."

Yang Ye shook hands with Lijun Deng and said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Deng, for traveling all the way to Hong Kong to help me record my songs. Thank you for your hard work."

Deng Lijun said: "I heard that Yang Shaoqin asked me to record songs for your movie. I was a little flattered."

Yang Ye was very surprised why Deng Lijun called him Yang Shao. When he asked, he found out that this title had already spread in Nanyang, and fans called him Yang Shao.Teresa Teng has a funny personality, so she followed the trend and called her Yang Shao, which was a bit of a joke.

The two of them blew each other's rainbow farts for a long time, but neither of them let go until Lijun Deng said: "Well, if you hold it any longer, you will sweat."

Yang Ye came over in surprise, quickly let go, and said with some embarrassment: "Well, let's get started!"

Next, Yang Ye gave Deng Lijun a brief introduction to the plot of the movie "Shaolin Temple" and the usage scene of the song "Shepherd's Song". Deng Lijun understood it clearly, made an OK gesture, and started recording.

In the soothing and melodious music, Teresa Teng sang:
The sun rises in Songshan Col, and the morning bell scares the birds.

There are gurgling streams in the forest and green grass on the slopes.

The wild fruit is fragrant and the flowers are pretty, the dog jumps and the sheep run

举起 鞭儿 轻 轻摇

The ditty is floating all over the mountain, the mountain is floating

……

She is worthy of being a generational singer. In Teresa Teng’s sweet singing voice, the beautiful scenery described in the song unfolds in Yang Ye’s mind like a picture scroll.

Yang Ye seemed to see a beautiful and clean nature. He could smell the fragrance of wild fruit and mountain flowers, see the bright and youthful smile of the shepherdess, and hear her crisp and happy singing.

By the time Teresa Teng finished her song, everyone present was moved by her.

Yang Ye applauded: "Ms. Deng sings so well. Listening to your singing, I seem to have really seen the scenes in the movie."

Deng Lijun said playfully: "That's because you wrote the song well, Mr. Yang. As I sang, I was moved."

Zheng Donghan said with a smile: "Young Master Yang writes well and Lijun sings well. They complement each other. It's a match made in heaven!"

"You are also good at arranging the music!" Yang Ye and Deng Lijun said in unison.The three people suddenly burst into laughter.

Although Teresa Teng sang very well, Zheng Donghan was not satisfied with the song once. After adjusting it, he changed several combinations of instruments. Teresa Teng recorded it several times in succession before it passed.

After recording the song, Teresa Teng is about to return to Taiwan. It just so happens that Yang Ye is also going to Taiwan with the film team.

Of course, because he was going to have a concert there, Zheng Donghan also had to lead the team there, and finally three waves of people came together to arrive in Taiwan.

……

After getting off the plane at Songshan Airport, a group of people went their separate ways.

The season at this time is midsummer, and Yang Ye specially chose this season to shoot.

Because Zhuoshui River is in the flood season, the water flow is rapid and the river channel is much wider than usual.

During the flood season, the Zhuoshui River is more than two kilometers wide, and the turbid water flows freely, giving it a feeling of the Yellow River.

Xia Meng took the team to Xiluo Town, Yunlin County, the filming location selected in advance to make preliminary preparations.

In fact, the props team had already gone ahead to make the props.

Yang Ye stayed in Taipei with Zheng Donghan and the staff of Polydor. The concert was held ten days later, with three performances in a row.

Yang Ye needs to use these few days to rehearse with the band and do as the Romans do. He also composed a Mandarin song to surprise him at the concert.

In the past few days, Lijun Teng also took the time to come over and rehearse because she agreed to Yang Ye's invitation to be a guest at his concert.

Yang Ye rehearsed the song he was going to sing, but he always felt that something was missing.Covering his head and thinking for a while, he suddenly asked: "Dong Han, what do you think of Deng Lijun and I singing a duet between men and women at the concert?"

Zheng Donghan's eyes lit up: "What a great idea, but I didn't report the last minute addition of songs."

"Is it too late to report now?"

"If the song is okay, then it should be okay!"

Yang Ye nodded and said, "Then I'll write a song and you take it to report. By the way, call Lijun Deng and ask her to come over for rehearsal tomorrow."

Zheng Donghan almost peed, are you too cruel?Just write as much as you want, and eating is not easy either!

Yang Ye pretended to think for a while, found a piece of paper, wrote down the song, gave it to Zheng Donghan, and asked: "What do you think?"

Zheng Donghan looked at it once and raised his thumb: "That's awesome!"
