Chapter 55 Meet Xueyou for the First Time

Sun Hao looked into the recording studio through the soundproof glass, and sure enough, the person who was recording the song was none other than Zhang Xueyou, the song god of the generation.

Jacky Cheung Jacky Cheung graduated from XG Chongwen English Academy and successively worked in XG Trade Development Bureau and XG Cathay Pacific Airline. Until 1984, with a song "The Grace of the Earth", he stood out from more than 20,000 contestants and won the first [-]th District Amateur Singing The winner of the contest.

Sun Hao remembers that when Jacky Cheung became famous later, the most unforgettable thing was this song "The Grace of the Earth"

Later, he signed a contract with Universal's Polygram Records to become its singer, and released his first record, which sold 30 copies in XG, becoming a leader among the newcomers in the XG music scene at that time.Jacky Cheung was considered to be the successor of the "decent singer" Guan Zhengjie at the time, and he was selected as the theme song of the lead singer of public welfare undertakings and government agencies many times in his singing career thereafter. His second album released in 1986 was still a hit, with sales reaching 40 copies. Among them, "Moon Curved" became one of the classic Cantonese pop songs.

另一粤语经典流行歌曲《太阳星辰》亦在同期推出。出道后仅两年，张学友就在ＸＧ红磡体育馆（简称“红馆”）举行第一次演唱会，接着在1987年在红馆举行一连6场（1987年8月1日至8月6日）的个人演唱会，获得成功。

However, 87 was also the lowest period in Jacky Cheung's career as a singer. The sales of newly released albums plummeted. At the XG music awards in 88, Jacky Cheung, who was previously considered the leader of newcomers, got nothing.At this time, he began to drink heavily, and the media repeatedly reported unfavorable news about him. This state lasted until 89.There are many different stories about his low tide.According to his own information in interviews with the media in recent years, it was because of his youthful vigor that he quickly lost his way after becoming famous overnight and had a pessimistic attitude towards the future, which directly led to his giving up and being given up on his career.

From 89 to 90, Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung withdrew from the XG Music Awards. Jacky Cheung seized the opportunity and successfully became one of the main singers of Polygram Records. In 1990, he released the album "I Only Want to Love One Person in My Life", which once again attracted the attention of the music industry. .

His songs returned to XG's several large-scale music charts, and he made a big splash at several large-scale music award ceremonies in the same year, successfully inheriting his predecessor Alan Tam's award-winning position in Polygram Records.During this period, he released several classic songs of Chinese pop music, such as "Li Xianglan".

In 91, Jacky Cheung began to hold concert tours in XG, GZ, S City, B City and other cities.In the same year, two albums were released. Among them, "Love You More Every Day" included in the album "Can't Help" was very popular.

The honors of "Supreme Song of the Great Palace" and "Top Ten Favorite Golden Songs in Twenty Years" and "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs of the Century" by XG Radio in 99.

The success of "Can't Help" and "One Unchanging Heart" made Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau and Lai Ming stand up to each other at XG's major award ceremonies.The three, together with Aaron Kwok, who later successfully replaced Hacken Lee, were named the "Four Heavenly Kings" who later influenced the Chinese music scene for an era.Jacky Cheung released the Cantonese album "True Feelings" in 1992. 9 songs in it have been on the XG music pop chart, and have occupied the top position many times, becoming one of the music albums with the most songs on the XG pop music chart. Among them, "Break Up" To be in the rain" and "Lovesickness in the Wind and Rain" have also become one of the classic Cantonese pop songs
The Four Heavenly Kings started their own development in the late 90s and gained wide recognition and success respectively.And Jacky Cheung is considered by most people to be the one with the most singing skills among the Four Heavenly Kings, and also the one who won the most music awards among the four during the Four Heavenly Kings period.

In 95, Jacky Cheung released the album "True Love - New Songs + Selected", which has the highest sales volume of Chinese music so far. Other selected old works.In the same year, he won two awards from the World Music Awards Ceremony, namely the "Global Best-selling Asian Pop Singer" and "Global Best-selling Chinese Singer". ) awards.

Jacky Cheung's peak period is also considered to be the period when XG pop music contributed the most to overseas, especially when he successfully opened up a huge overseas market.At that time, Jacky Cheung's record sales also attracted the attention of the international pop music circle or the media, including the American "Time Magazine".America's most authoritative music magazine "Billboard" (Billboard) began to pay attention to XG pop music to a certain extent because of the rise of Jacky Cheung.

And a generation of song gods with so many auras just stood in front of Sun Hao and Song Chunfeng. Even Sun Hao, who had experienced two lives, couldn't help being a little excited, and Song Chunfeng was needless to say. Now he is staring Looking at Jacky Cheung in the recording studio with wide eyes, I didn't expect to see this aunt in Universal, which was something I didn't even dare to think about before.

It's not that Sun Hao has never met Jacky Cheung, but he only saw it from a distance during the concert in H City, but now he observes Jacky Cheung in life without makeup at close range, and Sun Hao finds that Qizai, who is nearly forty years old (Jacky Cheung's nickname), but still looks very energetic, just like the performance on TV.

At this time, Jacky Cheung was working hard to record a song, because there were monitor speakers in the room, although the lyrics could not be heard, but Sun Hao could probably hear what the song was from the accompaniment of the speakers.

After listening carefully, Sun Hao couldn't help being surprised. This song was actually "Fortune Telling" released by Jacky Cheung in [-]. I didn't expect to write it at this time. It seems that if I continue to plagiarize other people's songs in the future, I should pay attention to it. , I don’t know when that song may be made.

When Sun Hao heard this song for the first time, Jacky Cheung did not sing it alone, but Jacky Cheung and Jay sang it together. At that time, this song had already added R&B elements, which sounded more diverse. At this time, the accompaniment played from the speaker can be concluded that Jacky Cheung completely sang this song as a lyrical song.

"This song shouldn't be sung like this." When the whole family was busy recording a new song for the song god, a voice rang out in the monitoring room.

At this time, everyone in the monitoring room was startled by the sound. Who on earth dared to say such things when the God of Songs was recording the song?Everyone was stunned by this sentence, so these people who were singing all looked towards the source of the sound.

When everyone's eyes were focused on the person who said this sentence---Sun Hao, they realized that there was only a child in front of them, but everyone was wondering why this child would say such a sentence?
"Who are you? How did you enter this room?" At this time, a person in the room who seemed to be in charge said, he was very angry at this time. It turns out that Jacky Cheung's recording of the song has basically come to an end, and this one is missing. "Fortune Telling" was finished, but I didn't expect that a child suddenly came to make trouble in the middle of the recording, maybe it was the child of some music producer?Thinking of this, the director pretended to be serious and said to Sun Hao in a threatening tone.

"I'm sorry, Director Ren. This is our company's new signing singer, called Sun Hao. You were also present at the meeting that day. Today I brought him here to visit our company." At this time, Zhu Jianbin squeezed through the crowd. After coming in, seeing the music director in the company glaring at Sun Hao, he couldn't help complaining, wondering why this little ancestor got into trouble on the first day, and even provoked the most stern and selfless director in the company.

"Oh, it turned out to be a newly signed singer, but even so, you can't disturb the recording of other people's songs." After hearing Zhu Jianbin's words, Director Ren's expression softened a bit. It turned out that he was a signed singer of his company. Newcomer, Director Ren took a closer look. It turns out that the kid in front of him is a young singer that the CEO found on the Internet. He looks really young. However, the director is very concerned about why the boy in front of him disturbed Jacky Cheung's song recording. do not understand.

"I'm sorry for disturbing your recorded song, but when I heard the accompaniment of this song just now, I felt that this song can't be sung like this." Although Sun Hao just blurted out on impulse, but in Seeing that the director is now angrily worrying about disturbing Jacky Cheung to record the song, there is nothing he can do, so he speaks out what is in his heart.

"What's going on? Why didn't you record the song?" At this time, the door of the recording studio was opened, and Jacky Cheung stopped the recording of the music because he saw a mess in the monitoring room from the other side of the recording studio. Walked over, ready to ask what happened.

"It's Qizi like this. This is a newly signed singer from our company. I was watching you record a song just now. After listening to it for a while, I said that you shouldn't sing this song like this, so we had a dispute with him." President Ren saw that Jacky Cheung had also come, so he had no choice but to tell Jacky Cheung what happened just now.But in its view, it is unreasonable for a child to dare to deny the song of the God of Songs.

"Oh? Why do you think my song shouldn't be sung like this?" Jacky Cheung was very curious after hearing what President Ren said, so he turned his attention to Sun Hao. After discovering that Sun Hao was just a [-]-[-] When I was a [-]-year-old child, the expression of surprise became stronger. If a child can deny his own songs, doesn't that mean that his songs cannot be accepted by the public?So Jacky Cheung, who has always cared about fans' opinions, asked Sun Hao.

"Hello Brother Xueyou." Although I know that Jacky Cheung is more than 20 years older than me now, Sun Hao, who is 20 years old mentally, can't call him another name for the time being, and celebrities generally like to call themselves young. , So Sun Hao continued to say to Jacky Cheung: "I just found a little problem when I heard the accompaniment of the song."

"Oh? What's the problem?" At this time, Jacky Cheung was attracted by Sun Hao's words. A child could find the shortcomings of his songs. Although he didn't hear the specific analysis, Jacky Cheung was already very curious.

"First of all, there are some problems with the melody, the rhythm should be strengthened, and the sound of the bass..." Seeing a generation of song gods talking to him at such a close distance, although Sun Hao was a little excited, he was still calm. Speak out your own thoughts.

While Sun Hao was talking about these shortcomings, the sound engineers and the president in the monitoring room were all sweating, because what Sun Hao said hit the nail on the head. If you change it according to the method of the boy in front of you, this The first "Fortune Telling" will definitely become much more beautiful.

Because Sun Hao knew what the song would look like in advance, so now he told all the differences between Jacky Cheung's song and what he heard later. Although it was a bit tricky, there was no way. There is no way to be exactly what I said just now.

After listening to Sun Hao's opinion, Zhang Xueyou scanned the people in the room with his eyes, and all the people lowered their heads when they saw Zhang Xueyou's gaze, yes, there is not a child in so many people's plans To be thoughtful, the level of these people is average, so now almost no one dares to look up Jacky Cheung.

"This... you mean that this song is better for two people to sing together?" After hearing Sun Hao's words, although Jacky Cheung thought that Sun Hao's words in the melody of the song were very reasonable, Sun Hao also said this song It is better for two people to sing the song together, but Jacky Cheung himself has almost never collaborated with others, so he hesitated for a while.

"Brother Xueyou, in fact, it is not impossible for this song to be played by one person, but from the rhythm point of view, using a jazz melody and adding R&B elements as I mentioned just now will make it more diversified. If one person expresses If it comes out, it will be too much, if two people cooperate, the effect will be different, it can show the main theme of this song, and it can highlight the style of R&B." Although it is not impossible to sing this song alone, but Sun Hao believes that the cooperation of two people is much better than Jacky Cheung acting alone.

At this time, Director Ren didn't dare to say anything anymore. He didn't expect that Jacky Cheung could really listen to the child's opinion, but in Director Ren's opinion, what the child said was not unreasonable.

"In this case, then you can sing this song with me." After pondering for a while, Jacky Cheung said.
