The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 109 Applause sounded

After Xu Guanwu acquired Eternal Records, the record contract of Wenner Band was also transferred to this record company.

Ma Jiahua specially hired the best vocal music teacher in Hong Kong to teach them.

Although the Winner Band has won several singing competitions in a row, and its members such as Alan Tam and Zhong Zhentao have many years of singing experience, they basically have no formal training in performing arts, and rely entirely on their own understanding to explore .

This kind of talent in acting is certainly valuable, but Xu Guanwu still hopes that they can go to the next level and become professional singers.

In addition to hiring the best vocal teachers to teach them, Ma Jiahua also hired several powerful album producers from Polygram Records to be responsible for the production of Wenner's first album.

What Xu Guanwu regrets the most is that his fourth brother Xu Guanjie cannot join Yesheng Records for the time being, and his contract with PolyGram still has one year left.

Now the Cantonese album sung by Xu Guanjie is very popular, PolyGram regards Xu Guanjie as a treasure, even though Xu Guanwu asks for a price, they never let go.

Seeing this, Xu Guanwu had no choice but to give up, and turned around to focus on cultivating the company's existing artists. In addition to Wenna Band, there was also a singer named Xu Xiaofeng.

Xu Xiaofeng, as the only female singer of YESUNG record company, naturally received the attention of Xu Guanwu.

After purchasing Eternal Records and changing the name to YASUNG Records, Xu Guanwu also met Xu Xiaofeng.This girl didn't look very pretty, but the typhoon was very stable. Even facing Xu Guanwu, the big boss of the company, she still looked calm and didn't panic at all.

For this alone, Xu Guanwu felt that this girl was not simple.

Xu Xiaofeng's voice is not as slender and sweet as ordinary girls, but on the contrary, it has a rich and mellow "bean paste throat".

Xu Guanwu learned from Ma Jiahua that Xu Xiaofeng was a singing competition champion before, but this championship title did not bring her any real benefits, it only gave her confidence in her singing.

Later, Xu Xiaofeng often went to nightclubs and karaoke halls to take exams in order to support her family, but her voice, which was very different from the sweet voice of a girl, was not accepted by karaoke halls at the time, so Xu Xiaofeng experienced a long period of setbacks, and finally succeeded in boarding the stage.

Xu Xiaofeng gradually became popular step by step. At the busiest time, she would run to thirteen or four venues a day, singing from 7:[-] pm to [-]:[-] am. Such frequent singing also allowed her to train her perfect singing skills and accumulated a large number of stage performances. experience.

Later, Xu Xiaofeng also released several albums, but because the record company he worked for was small, he had no money to buy new songs, so he could only cover other people's old songs, so the sales of the records were not too high.

But her unique voice attracted Ma Jiahua's attention, so she paid a sum of money to recruit her.Originally, I thought that I would be valued by the company and that I would be able to release my new album immediately, but I didn't expect that the company had changed hands in the blink of an eye.

"Mr. Xu, hello." Xu Xiaofeng greeted with a smile.

"Hi, please sit down." Xu Guanwu waved his hand to let Xu Xiaofeng sit down, "I have read your materials, and I have listened to the records. I am very satisfied with your singing skills."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Xu Xiaofeng sat down steadily, and when she heard Xu Guanwu praised her, she couldn't help smiling and stood up.

"The company decided to make an album for you, and I will write a song for you myself." Xu Guanwu said with a smile. Originally, he had no idea of ​​writing a song for Xu Xiaofeng, but YESUNG is short of manpower. Most of the master composers and arrangers were recruited by record companies such as Polygram and Huaxing.

Polygram Records is one of the largest record companies in the world, with branches all over the world.90 [-]s is when it is the most powerful. It has the world's three major tenors, the top orchestra conductor, and the most perfect music recording technology.

The Hong Kong branch has produced many smash hit singers, such as Teddy Robin and the Playboy Band, Xu Guanjie and the Lotus Band, Winner Band, Deng Lijun, Liu Dehua, Zhang Guorong and so on.

China Star Records is a subsidiary of TVB. It is responsible for organizing concerts and distributing records for TVB. There are no Hong Kong singers joining or releasing albums.Later, singers were gradually introduced to join, and with the help of TVB, a media giant, it became a super giant in the Hong Kong record industry.People like Luo Wen, Anita Mui, and Zhang Guorong all worked for this company successively.

"Mr. Xu, do you also know how to write lyrics and compose music?" Xu Xiaofeng asked in surprise, she didn't expect her new boss to be so versatile.

"Of course, Ms. Deng Lijun's "Walking on the Road of Life" and "Sweet Honey" were written and composed by me." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Really?! Wow!" Xu Xiaofeng couldn't help but wow, showing a very surprised expression, "Those two songs have both broken through the sales of five platinum records. When I sang in the karaoke hall, many people called Ask me to sing these two songs."

"Oh? Is it so popular? I really didn't pay attention to these." Xu Guanwu laughed. Since he handed over those two songs to Deng Lijun, he basically didn't pay attention to the changes in the music world.

Because he has been very busy this year, he went to the United States to film "Rocky", married Zhao Yazhi, and later met Huang Jinkai, which has involved too much of his energy.I didn't know that the two songs written by myself were so popular.

"But I only sang the song "Wandering the Road of Life"." Xu Xiaofeng said with a smile.

"Oh?! Why?" Xu Guanwu asked suspiciously.

"Because my voice is not suitable for singing "Sweet Honey"." Xu Xiaofeng explained.

Xu Guanwu slapped his head and suddenly realized that with Xu Xiaofeng's bean paste throat, singing a little love song like "Sweet Honey" is indeed a bit inappropriate.

"It's okay, the song I wrote for you is definitely suitable for you to sing." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Oh?! Can you let me see it?" Xu Xiaofeng asked curiously. She wanted to sing her own new song a long time ago, but the record company she stayed at was too small, and there was no money to buy her new songs.After Eternal Records signed her, they originally wanted to release a new album for her, but when it caught up with the acquisition, the new album matter naturally fell through.

As a singer, there is no one who does not want to sing his own songs.

It has been five years since Xu Xiaofeng first appeared on stage in the karaoke hall, and she has never sung her own song, so her inner desire is obvious.

Xu Guanwu just said that casually, he just had this idea, and now there is no new song on hand.But seeing Xu Xiaofeng's eager eyes, Xu Guanwu couldn't help feeling soft.

"Wait for me, I'll write it for you right away." Xu Guanwu said.

Xu Xiaofeng couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then saw Xu Guanwu taking a pen and writing little by little on the white paper.

After a while, Xu Guanwu handed the blank paper to Xu Xiaofeng, "Here!"

Xu Xiaofeng took the piece of paper dumbfounded, looked down, and saw that the title was "Applause".

"Stand alone on this stage,
Applause was heard.
There are infinite emotions in my heart,
How much youth is gone.
How many feelings have changed,
I still have your love.
like the first stage,
Hear the first applause.
My tears can't help falling down,
How many failures have passed.
after much waiting,
Tell yourself to be patient.
......"

Xu Xiaofeng hummed softly while watching. When she sang "It's like the first stage, I heard the first applause. My tears couldn't help but fall..." She immediately thought of what she had experienced five years ago. After all kinds of setbacks, she finally stepped onto the stage. At that moment, all her grievances really turned into tears.

"Mr. Xu, thank you!" Xu Xiaofeng stood up suddenly, and bowed deeply to Xu Guanwu.
