The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 110 Cameo Movie
Xu Xiaofeng's new album is on the company's agenda. In order to cultivate this talented singer, Xu Guanwu specially invited two masters, Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui, to compose lyrics and music for her, tailor-made her new album.

Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui are known as the two saints of Hui and Huang. They are the top music producers in the Hong Kong music scene. The two collaborated to create many popular songs, such as "Shanghai Beach", "Love in the Year", "A Thousand Rivers and Mountains Are Always Love" and so on.

The original song of Brilliant Ersheng was created for TVB TV series, and gradually became popular in Southeast Asia with the broadcast of TVB TV series.

Most of these songs are the theme songs of martial arts TV dramas, such as "Life is Meaningful", "Hello Always in the World", etc., full of chivalrous tenderness and affection.

With the rapid development of Hong Kong movies in the middle period, the music of Huang Ersheng turned to film soundtracks, such as "A Chinese Ghost Story", "A Laugh in the Sea", "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" and so on.

Since the first Cantonese song "Laughing Marriage", Huihuang Ersheng has been leading the trend of Cantonese songs in Hong Kong. With the help of television, he has cultivated a loyal audience of Cantonese songs.

Their songs always show the elements of traditional Chinese culture, chivalry, tenderness, self-reliance and self-improvement. The song "Under the Lion Rock" has become a representative of Hong Kong spirit and will be sung forever.

Xu Guanwu originally planned to spend a lot of money to bring the two of them under his command, but Gu Jiahui is a very traditional literati, he is grateful for the kindness wireless has shown him, so it doesn't seem like he is abandoning his old master.

And Huang Zhan is a person who likes to be free and unrestrained, he doesn't want to be bound by the so-called company, he would rather develop like a lone bird in the entertainment circle.

Seeing this, Xu Guanwu had no choice but to give up his solicitation plan, and just paid for the two of them to customize a few songs for Xu Xiaofeng.

……

Except for two covers of European and American pop music in the album of Winner Band, the rest of the songs are all written by these members themselves.

In the 70s and [-]s, under the leadership of the Beatles, there was a wave of band bands in Hong Kong, that is, self-organized bands.Some of the bands were smash hits, released their own albums, and were able to sing in first-class nightclubs and karaoke halls, earning a lot of money.Such as Xu Guanjie's Lotus Band, not only joined Diamond Records and released several best-selling albums, but also has its own music program on TVB.

The Wenna band was not as closed as Xu Guanjie at first, which may be related to their previous team name. LOOSERS (losers) are destined to fail.Although they won the band competition at that time, their future was still bleak.Not being appreciated by the record company, the members quit one after another to do business, and the Losers band disbanded for a while.

Later, with the help of enthusiastic people, Alan Tam reorganized the band and recalled the original Losers band members, Chen You, Peng Xinjian, and Ye Zhiqiang, and invited Zhong Zhentao to join, and established Wenna Band.

This enthusiastic person is Liang Botao, who used to be the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section of the newspaper, and also the record producer of a small record company.He is very interested in this loser band that has won multiple singing competition championships, and he can't bear the fact that the band fell apart because of the withdrawal of several members.

The extra person from Wenna Band is actually a Singaporean. He was a singer from the record company where Liang Botao worked before. He insisted on staying in Hong Kong in order to avoid military service.

Xu Guanwu didn't know about the information about the Wenna band until later.

After understanding the cause and effect, he immediately spent a lot of money to recruit that enthusiastic person, Liang Botao, to be in charge of the operation of Wenner Band full-time, such as albums, commercial performances, etc. In short, he is the sole manager.

Xu Guanwu didn't believe in anything else, but believed that he could tell the strength of the Winner Band at a glance, and this Mr. Liang Botao was not easy.

Winner Band is the first band of Superstar Manager Company to have a full manager.

But in Hong Kong at the moment, the concept of managers is not yet familiar to everyone.

In the past, popular movie stars and singers in Hong Kong were accompanied by their relatives, and through them they put forward conditions to the company, director or producer.Most of these relatives are mothers, so they are collectively referred to as "star mothers".

Like when Zhao Yazhi was filming "Ghost Horse Double Star", Zhao's mother was busy back and forth, she is actually a star mother.It's just that Zhao Yazhi wasn't famous enough at the time, so she didn't have the confidence to be a star mother.

But like other Shaw Brothers stars, it is different. He Lili, Jing Li, Chen Baozhu and other popular actresses all have their star mothers to accompany them when they are filming.

Cai Lan, the well-known producer of Shaw Brothers, once said that what she scratches her head the most is dealing with star mothers.

Liang Botao was recruited into Yisheng Records Company, and he was responsible for managing the Winner Band as their professional manager.But he himself knows nothing about what a manager should manage, and to what extent.

Fortunately, there is already a brokerage company in Hollywood, USA, and the manager system has been perfected. Xu Guanwu hurriedly asked someone to bring relevant books from the United States, so that Liang Botao could learn and practice while reading the books.

"Boss, should we let our Wen Na show up in "Genius and Idiot"?" One day, Liang Botao suggested to Xu Guanwu.

"Show yourself?" Xu Guanwu looked at Liang Botao in surprise. Has he already figured out how to sell celebrities?
"Yeah, Mr. Xu's ghost comedy is very popular, and the audience is looking forward to his release. If Wenner Band can show their faces in this movie, I think their popularity will soar immediately." Liang Botao laughed road.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help clapping his hands, "Your suggestion is very good, I will discuss it with my elder brother."

"Thank you boss!" Liang Botao couldn't help smiling happily when he saw Xu Guanwu readily accepted his suggestion.

Xu Guanwu was also amazed at Liang Botao's talent, he has already grasped the knack of this industry just after he became a professional manager, it is truly remarkable.

……

After that, Xu Guanwu told his elder brother Xu Guanwen about this suggestion, "Brother, do you think it is possible to let these young people join in?"

"Yes, I can. In the movie, there was a scene teaching mental patients to dance. Originally, Ah SAM wanted to make a guest appearance in the Lotus Band. Now it's not a bad idea to change to the Winner Band." Xu Guanwen rubbed his chin and said.

"Has Sam already invited the Lotus Band?" Xu Guanwu asked, "If you have already accepted, then you can only change to something else."

Xu Guanwu also remembered that there was a dance scene in "Genius and Idiot". It was "Genius Idiot Money Money" performed by Xu Guanjie and the Lotus Band. It is a dance song with cheerful tunes and humorous lyrics.

Appearing in the middle of this movie, it is very eye-catching. If the Winner Band can replace the Lotus Band and perform this song with Xu Guanjie, it will naturally be of great help to their popularity.

"Let me ask for it for you. If it doesn't work, these young people can show up in the part where the princess teaches people how to dive. It's just that there is not so much time for the camera, and it is not so conspicuous." Xu Guanwen said.

Xu Guanwu nodded. It would be the best if he could win to sing "Genius Idiot Money Money" with Xu Guanjie, but if he didn't get this opportunity, he could only play the role of those passers-by.

Xu Guanwen then called Xu Guanjie, and after a while, he put down the phone, "Fortunately, Ah SAM hasn't sent out an invitation yet, let Winner Band replace Lotus Band, and sing that song with Ah SAM."

After hearing this, Xu Guanwu couldn't help clapping his hands happily.

What made him even more happy was that the ICAC, which had been dormant for a long time, finally took action.
