Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 212 Dragon Ball OP
This is a recording studio with luxurious facilities. It is located in Kirin Entertainment Company. It is a recording studio built by the company with heavy investment.

"Boom boom boom!"

Suddenly, after a knock on the door, the door was pushed open from the outside.

"Mr. Li!"

Li Xiaotian, who was doing recording work on the mixer, stood up quickly when he saw that the person coming was Li Wannian.

"Director Li, you are busy with your business, I just came in to take a look!"

After Li Wannian came in, he shook hands with Li Xiaotian, glanced around the recording studio, and then picked up the headphones on the mixing table.

Li Xiaotian is one of the most well-known music producers in Hong Kong Island and is also Leslie Cheung’s mentor.

It was with his persuasion that Zhang Guorong was able to successfully join Jiayi.

Later, after Li Wanshan established Qilin Entertainment, he directly spent huge sums of money to recruit Li Xiaotian and served as the director of Qilin Music.

Seeing this, Li Xiaotian had no choice but to pick up the other earphone and continue listening to the music being recorded inside.

"...

Get it in your hand! DRAGON BALL!

The toughest opportunity in the world,

Let’s catch up! DRAGON BALL!

......"

That's right, the song being recorded in the recording room at this time is the OP of the "Dragon Ball" animation, "The Incredible Adventure of Maha."

Li Wannian has never been very satisfied with the lyrics of this song. Even if he asked Huang Zhan to write it, he still couldn't be satisfied.

In desperation, he could only translate the neon-like lyrics casually, modify the rhyme, and then find someone to sing.

But with such straightforward lyrics, relying on the dynamic music and loud singing, the essence of the original song was actually sung.

"Mr. Li, do you think there is anything that needs to be corrected?"

After singing the song, Li Xiaotian couldn't wait to know Li Wannian's thoughts.

Although Li Xiaotian is now regarded as one of the top musicians in Hong Kong Island, he admires Li Wannian very much, who is more than ten years younger than him.

In his opinion, although Li Wannian is a cartoonist, his musical talent is really not a vegetarian, especially the songs he created for his animations, which are very thoughtful and trendy, and can even be said to be completely ahead of the current era!
This kind of music has brought fresh blood to the Hong Kong music scene, and has also led many young musicians in Hong Kong to try this new music.

This has undoubtedly given a huge impetus to the development of music on Hong Kong Island.

Not only that, but each of Li Wannian’s songs is commendable because he does not repeat the successful routines of the past and is still actively innovating.

For example, the song "The Incredible Adventure of Maha" has abandoned the rock style of the previous "Death" OP and changed it to a dynamic electronic music style. It seems that the style is somewhat close to the electronic music of today's Hong Kong Island, but it sounds different. A taste.

"Very good, Director Li, you did a great job!"

"Crack!"

At this moment, the door to the recording studio opened, and a tall man with messy hair and a mustache walked out.

"Mr. Li!"

"Brother Lam, your singing is great!"

The so-called Lam, whose real name is Lin Zixiang, is a famous singer in Hong Kong. His masterpieces are really too many, such as "A Man Should Be Strong", "The Road Is Long for Me", "Real Man" and other works, until decades later , is still familiar and has influenced several generations.

Although Lin Zixiang does not have a status in the music world today, he is very famous, especially the album "A Person" released this year, whose representative work "In the Middle of the Water" is a strong contender for this year's top ten hits.

It only took him five years from the time he returned to Hong Kong Island to join the Jade Stone Band in 1975 and officially debuted, and now he has become a first-line singer in Hong Kong Island. "Lam, Mr. Li was full of praise for you just now!"

"Mr. Li, you are so polite. You wrote this song so well that I feel motivated to sing it!"

Nowadays, with the popularity of Moonlight Girls, Au Ruiqiang and others, Hong Kong singers have discovered that singing theme songs for cartoons is not only not embarrassing, but also a new way to become famous.

In particular, Ou Ruiqiang's song "Returning to the Road" released last year was not only selected into the second Chinese Top Ten Golden Songs in 79, but also won him the title of "Prince of Hong Kong Folk Songs".

Therefore, when Lin Zixiang received the invitation, he immediately agreed.

Not to mention how popular a well-known IP like "Dragon Ball" is now, just the song written by Li Wannian made Lin Zixiang very excited.

Lin Zixiang also writes songs himself, although many Hong Kong musicians, especially veteran musicians, are belittling Li Wannian's songs and think they are deviant.

But for young musicians like Lin Zixiang who have received the influence of Western music, Li Wannian's songs are, in one word, fashionable!
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to flatter Brother Lam?"

"Mr. Li, I really don't have this. I really admire you. I'm going to release a new album by the end of the year, and I plan to include this song in it! I don't know if that's okay?"

"Okay, of course!"

"Thank you so much!"

To be honest, Li Wannian did not expect that Lin Zixiang would have such a low profile.

Have you never heard that musicians, especially excellent musicians, are very proud?Why are all the people I meet so humble?

In fact, this is mainly because Li Wannian does not have much contact with young musicians in Hong Kong Island.

Nowadays, most of the vocal channels in the music industry are controlled by the older generation of musicians.

This resulted in the information Li Wannian received in newspapers on weekdays, either from his own media praising Li Wannian, or from veteran musicians scolding him.

Regarding his true evaluation, it is difficult for Li Wannian to obtain real information.

In fact, if you get to know him more, you will find that he actually has a pretty good reputation among young Hong Kong musicians.

After all, Li Wannian is not a member of the circle, has no intention of developing here, and has no conflict of interest with them. He is very capable, and there is even a chance for cooperation between the two parties!
Isn't it beautiful?

Some even think that Li Wannian should not draw comics and concentrate on writing songs.

"You're welcome, I also like your performance, Brother Lam, otherwise I wouldn't invite you to collaborate!"

"Click!" Just as a few people were chatting, the door of the recording studio was pushed open again.

At this time, Li Xiaotian felt that this recording studio should be equipped with an extra lock, otherwise it would be like a public toilet, where people can come and leave whenever they want!
However, such thoughts immediately dissipated when he saw the appearance of the person coming, because the person coming was Li Wanshan.

"Xiao Nian, why did you come here? Didn't you tell me in advance? You made me look for you now!"

Hearing this, Li Wannian resisted rolling his eyes.

In fact, when I came to Qilin Entertainment, I went to see Li Wanshan, but no one was allowed to approach his office.

Li Wannian just got a little closer and heard sounds coming from inside.

You know what you are doing without having to guess?
Don't ask why Li Wannian is so skilled, never ask!
In short, after not seeing Li Wanshan, Li Wannian had no choice but to find the recording studio by himself to check the status of the songs.

"I just came over to check on the music recording!"

"Have you finished reading? Let's take a walk. When you finish reading, come to the office with me!"

With that said, Li Wanshan stepped forward and hugged Li Wannian's shoulders, and said to the other two people at the same time: "Brother Xiaotian, Brother Lam, you are busy, I will take my brother up first!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but hugged Li Wannian and walked out the door.
