Chapter 283 The King of Disco

The Ma brothers are pro-Taiwan elements. They have been in contact with the intelligence and governance department of the Kuomintang a long time ago, and they are responsible for the liaison between the Gulf and the remnants of the Kuomintang in the Golden Triangle.Provide them with intelligence information and financial support, and plan to counterattack one day.

At the same time, the "Oriental Daily" under the Ma Brothers has always spoken out for Wanwan. The chronological method adopted by the newspaper is still the chronology of the Republic of China. It is a hard-core pro-Taiwan newspaper like "Huaqiao Daily", "Business Daily" and "Hong Kong Times". .

All the news in the Gulf are reported in a large space, and all the news in the mainland are all smeared and criticizing. The editorials of the newspapers are also making trouble out of nothing, doing their best to spread rumors and slander disgusting people.For example, the "Hong Kong Times" still referred to the mainland as the Beiping government until the 90s, which was seriously out of touch with social reality.

The Ma brothers have such a close relationship with Wanwan, so after they were wanted by Hong Kong British in the 70s, they were able to escape to Wanwan for refuge.Under the strong request of the US-based Interpol, the Wanwan government still withstood the pressure and guaranteed that the Ma brothers would not hand them over.

Although Xu Guanwu had a deep grudge with the Ma brothers, he knew that they only officially met during the Spring Festival this year, and he even broke the olive branch handed over by their brothers.

The reason is that Xu Guanwu is not what he used to be today, but the Ma brothers are in decline because of the continuous growth of the ICAC.In the past, those detectives who were acquainted with each other walked and fled, but the new detectives were all frightened by ICAC's supervision and did not dare to join forces with them, which made it more and more difficult for the two brothers to earn their side business. .

In terms of Baidao, the sales volume of the housekeeping newspaper "Oriental Daily" was attacked by "Daily Daily". Although the sales volume has increased due to the economic recovery this year, the amount of advertisements is not as good as before, which caused the Ma brothers' income to drop sharply.

But the brothers under him have to eat, and for the sake of face, the fellow countrymen who smuggled over have to be taken care of.The Ma brothers don't have Xu Guanwu's skills, they can make hundreds of millions of dollars by making movies.They really got their money back by putting their heads on their belts and risking their lives, so it is naturally very distressing to spend it.

Seeing people come and go, sit and eat, and Wang Xiaoer's new year is not as good as every year, so the Ma brothers are naturally very anxious.Finally they decided to make a big deal, and after they got enough, they fled out immediately.When the time comes to escape to Treasure Island, the Heavenly King and Lao Ziye will not be able to control them.

People in the rivers and lakes always have this fluke mentality, saying that they will stop doing it after the last time, but in fact they have done it time and time again, and finally stopped all of them until they were caught.

Because the Ma brothers have been unable to make ends meet in the past two years, they seem to take a risk to get a big ticket.Their smuggling method is unexpected, that is, to import live cattle from Thailand for slaughter, and that thing is hidden in the belly of the cow.Because it is a living thing, it is easy to pass through the security check, and it will not attract the attention of others.

But it's a pity that what they met was Xu Guanwu, who had already seen the tricks of the Ma brothers in "Four Great Families: Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers".At first he thought it was just a fabrication by the director, but after investigation by the personnel he sent, it turned out that there was indeed a slaughterhouse in Hong Kong that imported beef cattle from Thailand and other places, and this slaughterhouse was opened by the Ma Brothers with human heads.

Only then did Xu Guanwu realize that all art comes from life, and that the Ma brothers' slaughterhouse must have a conspiracy, so he secretly notified the Hong Kong police.

So a month later, the Hong Kong police intercepted a cattle ship in Tsuen Wan, and seized a ton of "noodles" from it. Batch X product.

Realizing that the Hong Kong police who had caught the big fish were very excited, they immediately launched an investigation operation code-named "Horse Hunting".

Although Xu Guanwu didn't know what the Hong Kong police had done, he knew that the good days of the Ma brothers were coming to an end when he saw that the newspapers were full of news about Tingzi's arrest.

Boatman is the lowest-level distributor of X products. It gets its name from the small boat owners scattered around the pier, who are responsible for moving the goods on the boat to the shore like ants.

……

Apart from paying attention to the Ma Brothers, Xu Guanwu is also busy, that is, Zhang Guorong is about to release a record.

The goal that Xu Guanwu set a few years ago is that every month, Yesung Records will release an album for its singers, so that the speed of releasing two albums per year can be guaranteed.Two albums are released every year, which neither makes fans anxious, but also has enough time to make preparations for singers.

Both Xu Xiaofeng and Xu Guanjie had released records before, and the sales of their records were very good, with sales of more than [-] double platinum records each.

Zheng Donghan is thinking about holding a concert for the two of them in the near future. Anyway, the two of them have a lot of good songs. There is no need to worry about not having an audience or not having enough singing.

The latest album of Wenner Band was launched together with the recently released movie "Café de Joy".The album of the same name, "Café de Joy", contains more than ten songs sung by the Winner Band in the movie. These more than ten songs are all written by Huang Zhan Huang Laoxie, which can be said to be one of the biggest selling points of the movie.Coupled with the high popularity of the Wenner Band, the movie caused a huge sensation when it was released.

The movie "Café de Café de Coral" can be regarded as the first of its kind in Hong Kong. Although the subject matter is similar to 60s musicals, the story of the movie "Café de Café de Carre" is more exciting, and the songs are more beautiful. The most important thing is Wen Na The five tigers are all popular idol singers. They are young and handsome, bouncing around on the big screen and are very popular with fans.

The album of the same name "Café de Coral" was also very popular after it was released, especially among girls, and it set off a wave of panic buying.The first batch of [-] tickets were sold out as soon as they were listed, leaving Xu Xiaofeng, Xu Guanjie and other seniors somewhat behind.

It was in this environment that Zhang Guorong's debut album was put on the production schedule.

……

Because there is a precedent for the Winner Band to be packaged as a youth idol, it is more logical for Zhang Guorong, who is a little more handsome than the Winner Five Tigers, to take the youth idol route.

And with Zhang Guorong's alluring face, it would be too violent not to follow the youth idol route.

But although he is also following the youth idol route, Zhang Guorong is not the same type as the Winner band.

The image of Wenna Five Tigers is the big boy next door, happy and happy, and the songs they sing are all cheerful songs such as "Sala La", "Café de Carre", "Point Solution Hand in Hand".

And because Zhang Guorong returned from studying in the UK, he was deeply influenced by the Beatles rock music before, and his voice sounds very emotional, so Zheng Donghan wanted him to follow the route of rebellious youth idol.It's like the first time that Elvis Presley danced the classic dance steps in front of the public. Although it was criticized by some conservatives as indecent, it was immediately enthusiastically sought after by the younger generation, especially those crazy girls. child.

However, Elvis Presley's music style and dance are a bit outdated now, and there is always only one Elvis Presley in the world. Those who learn from me live, and those who resemble me die.Turning Zhang Guorong into a new Elvis Presley is completely courting death, but it can learn the essence of Elvis Presley, so that Zhang Guorong can be associated with the hottest disco at present.

Disco originated in France in the 60s, but it became popular in the United States in the 70s and became the object of enthusiasm for the younger generation.Now this kind of disco nightclub has just opened in Hong Kong, and it has already attracted the attention of a generation of Hong Kong gamers.

But the current disco music is all songs by European and American singers, and there are no singers who sing disco songs in Hong Kong.

Zheng Donghan wanted to seize this opportunity, make Zhang Guorong the spokesperson of disco, and sing the first disco style song.

But what makes him embarrassed is that this style of music has just been introduced to Hong Kong, so Hong Kong composers are not yet familiar with it, and they will not be able to write dance music suitable for dancing in disco in a short time.

When Zheng Donghan was at a loss what to do, he suddenly thought of the bunch of songs that Xu Guanwu had given him before, and couldn't help looking through them with the thought of giving it a try.

After these songs were handed over to Zheng Donghan, several songs were also picked out and used in the albums of Xu Xiaofeng and Xu Guanjie, such as "Lovesickness in the Wind and Rain", "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant", "The Season of the Wind" and so on.Some of the lyrics in these songs are not appropriate (Xu Guanwu forgot the lyrics), and they are all just numbered notation, and there is no complete arrangement, which looks very incomplete, so Zheng Donghan didn't check every capital carefully.

Now that things are urgent, Zheng Donghan thinks of these songs again, so he doesn't care whether the lyrics are smooth or the arrangement is pleasant, as long as they are suitable, they can be used.

After such a search, a lot of good things really came out.

When Xu Guanwu grew up, disco had actually passed its glory days, but pirated tapes were still everywhere, among which "Holton's Disco" and "Wild Wolf King" were the most classic.Xu Guanwu bought a new tape recorder back then, and he used to listen to English in name, but he actually listened to many songs.

It was only at that time that I started to come into contact with disco songs. The dynamic style and cheerful melody perfectly matched the lively and active youth.So I wrote down many songs of that type, such as "BROTHERLOUIE", "Sexy Sexy Lover", "BOOM BOOM BOOM", "Babylon River" and so on.

Although Xu Guanwu's memory of the lyrics is scattered, but the melody is a typical disco style, which is exactly what Zheng Donghan needs.

"Mr. Xu is really amazing. It turns out that he has been able to write disco-style songs for a long time. But why are the lyrics a bit messy and not very smooth to read? Is it because he didn't modify it after he finished writing it, or was it because Did he hear these songs by chance in America?" Zheng Donghan frowned, he felt as if he had guessed the truth.

"Mr. Xu stayed in the United States for a while, so it's not uncommon for him to hear disco songs. And he later transcribed the songs he heard. Because he didn't remember them deeply at the time, the lyrics of these songs were scattered. " Zheng Donghan muttered, "Then, these songs will have copyright disputes, and they can no longer be used."

"However, with Mr. Xu's talent and his wealth, why should he plagiarize other people's songs?" Zheng Donghan became more and more confused as he thought about it, not knowing what to do.

"That's good. These songs are very nice. If they appear in the United States, they will not be unknown. They will definitely be sung in discotheques, and maybe even published by other music companies." Zheng Donghan guessed, "Then I sent Someone go to the United States to investigate, and if there is no copyright dispute."

Zheng Donghan then contacted friends in the United States and asked them to help find out if there are similar songs in the United States.

A week later, a friend in the United States sent back a message that these songs do not exist in the United States, so there is no doubt that they were originally created in Hong Kong.

Zheng Donghan dispelled his doubts and began to plan an album for Zhang Guorong, the title song is Xu Guanwu's "brother louie".

In addition to Xu Guanwu's disco songs, there are also several lyrical songs in the album.Several irrelevant songs are fused in one furnace. Except for Hong Kong, there are only rampant pirated discs in the Mainland.

Zhang Guorong's album is under close preparation. Apart from recording songs, learning fashionable disco dance steps is also his homework that he must do every day.

In order to make Zhang Guorong dance the most perfect disco dance steps, Zheng Donghan specially recruited a professional dance teacher from the United States to teach him. He must make Zhang Guorong the No. 1 disco in Hong Kong.Let him take the young men and women in Hong Kong to swing together.
