Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

It was dark at night, and Zha was driving a taxi on the roadside outside a nightclub. When he was bored, he turned on the car radio and twisted around.

When a radio station said, "It's six and a half beers here,..."

Hong Kong Island's commercial radio stations have been broadcasting since 1959 and have always been popular among Hong Kong residents. Among them, Thunder 881 is also an old channel that has been broadcasting for more than 20 years and is the radio station with the largest number of listeners in Hong Kong.

The Six Beers and a Half group has become famous since the 1970s. Among them, Yu Cheng, Shi Nansheng, Lin Yanni, etc. are collectively known as the talented girls of Hong Kong, corresponding to the male versions of several talented people.

Because of her erudite knowledge and sharp eloquence, she has been extremely popular for six and a half years as the host. In the past, Ah Zha liked to listen to the program hosted by her the most.

It's a pity that Yu Cheng left the commercial radio station last year and went to TVB.

However, after hearing the familiar sound of the program, Ah Zha fixed the channel and planned to listen to music and relax.

After a few dozen seconds, as the DJ introduced him, an English song that seemed a bit strange to Ah Zha started playing along with the music.

Ah Zha couldn't help frowning and patted the direction of the car radio, "Diaomao, why did Liu Beiban play an English song? This is not an open-minded 864!"

Among the commercial stations, Thunder 881 always broadcasts Cantonese programs, while Huanda 864 is the English channel.

Even when playing songs, 881 usually plays Hong Kong songs, while 864 plays English songs.

Don't think that because he is often beaten by Brother Huai, his brain is showing off? He could still tell the difference.

Scolding, but pleasant melody, accompanied by lyrics such as "You are My fire" and "The one Desire Believe".

Ah Zha's hand that originally wanted to adjust the channel paused.

Does this song sound good to you? Just listen to it for now?

"That I want it that way"

"Tell me why"

(Aint nothin but a heartache)

…

The melody of the song and the English lyrics that Ah Zha didn't understand at all floated out. Even if he didn't understand, it didn't stop Ah Zha from shaking his legs slightly.

I remember that when he was learning English in school, he always felt sleepy when he started to recite and read aloud. But with the tunes in front of him, he actually felt that it was okay and he didn't feel sleepy anymore.

As he listened, Azha didn't notice that a ghost guy walked out of the nightclub and walked towards his taxi with a dancer in his arms.

When the ghost guy knocked on the car window, Azha looked at it twice and waved his hand, "There's someone there."

While he was talking, he turned the sign on the empty car into "Occupied". It wasn't because he had money and he didn't want to make money, but because the two guys were too drunk and he was afraid that the other person would vomit in the car on the way.

It is said that if you are waiting for a taxi to pick up passengers outside a nightclub in the middle of the night, you must keep your eyes peeled. If you are unlucky enough to pull a drunk customer who vomits in your car every day, the money you make will not be enough to make you sick.

He hadn't noticed these two before, but after just a few glances, he knew their general quality.

While he continued to listen to the song, the ghost man and the dancer did not leave. Instead, they stood still holding on to the body of the taxi that was leaning against him.

After a song was played, when the disc jockey's Cantonese voice sounded on the radio, Gui Lao suddenly shouted, "This song is good. Just listening to it makes me feel like I can sing it soon."

He spoke in English, which neither Ah Zha nor the dancer could understand. The next moment, Gui Lao said in Cantonese so bad that it was almost indistinguishable, "What song is this?"

Ah Zha looked at the other party blankly.

Gui Lao took out a hundred-dollar bill and handed it to Ah Zha, "What song?"

The dancers complained in a daze, "Boss, what song are you asking for, you're deaf?"

Ah Zha's eyes lit up, he put away the hundred-dollar bills and laughed, "What the hell? That should be the title of this song, played by Huanda864."

"Baby girl, be careful not to be crushed by ghosts."

He also said the first few words very poorly, deliberately making people confused and incomprehensible. He shouted at the two of them to step back while laughing, and A-Zha started the car and ran away with the money.

When he drove the car and ran more than a hundred meters, he saw through the rear mirror that the ghost guy had returned to the nightclub with the dancer. He was not chasing his taxi or leaving in another taxi.

Ah Zha scratched his head, what the hell? What I said was too profound, and the two drunkards didn't understand? But it’s a good thing that one hundred yuan has arrived.

…………

A new day in the afternoon.

When Ah Zha woke up, scratched his head and walked out of the bedroom, took a look at the empty and dirty living room, and then looked at Director Zhao's room where the door was still locked.

Ah Zhadu muttered depressedly, Brother Huai hadn't lived in this house for so long, and the first few big men who came here hadn't lived here for a long time either.

Is it time for him to find a new roommate? Logically speaking, we should be recruiting two. After all, this is a three-bedroom apartment.

Now he pays all the rent alone, which is a bit stressful.

But Zhao Donghuai didn't say anything about moving away. There weren't many things left, but he really didn't say clearly about leaving. What if he recruits people and comes back and is reprimanded?

Damn it, it’s better not to think so much and find something to eat first.

As he slowly walked downstairs and walked along the radio channel, he suddenly heard a familiar melody. It was an English song being played in a video store on the street.

The lyrics of the song felt a bit familiar, and Ah Zha didn't think much about it. Listening to the song was not as important as filling his stomach. He didn't like English anyway.

What left Ah Zha speechless was that in the following days, he heard a certain song more and more frequently. Whether he was walking on the street, a certain song would be played frequently in a video store or on the TV in a shopping mall.

Various channels on the taxi, not only the Cantonese program Thunder 881, but also the Kuangda 864 that fooled the ghost guy that night, began to play a certain song frequently.

He could almost hum along with this broadcast.

………………

Huaxing Records Headquarters.

Zhang Guorong was still familiar with the new song when he saw Li Xiaotian pushing open the door and rushing in. He hugged Ah Rong excitedly, "Shi Zai, you are going to be popular! You are really going to be popular this time!"

"I Want It That Way not only has a high radio playback rate, but also has rave reviews. It is most popular among the ghost community. Dozens or more people call Huanda864 to request this song almost every day. .”

Li Xiaotian is Zhang Guorong's mentor. Before switching from Li's to Wireless and joining China Star, he followed Li Xiaotian.

The wind that made Zhang Guorong's fame continue to blow was all created by Li Xiaotian and a group of other musicians.

Along with Li Xiaotian's excited words, Zhang Guorong was also a little excited, but still smiled and said, "Thanks to Director Zhao for the good song, and fortunately Huaxing did not stick to the original strategy and let me release this song, otherwise it would really be..."

China Star is one of the largest record companies in Hong Kong. In the 1980s, it competed with Warner, PolyGram and others without losing. It had a strange strategy.

Generally speaking, China Star only promotes newcomers and does not sign contracts with big-name singers. Zhang Guorong, Mei Yanfang and even Andy Lau, etc., are all signed by China Star from obscurity and become famous... and then the superstars change jobs, which is almost the same as TVB.

Secondly, China Star only releases albums in Cantonese, and rarely releases albums in Mandarin, let alone English songs.

In addition, China Star has great influence in Hong Kong Island. It is backed by the big tree of TVB and relies on singing competitions to continuously discover new stars. However, it has almost no influence in Wanwan, island countries, and even Europe and the United States.

If you want your singers to leave Hong Kong Island and go to other regions and countries, you can basically only cooperate with other groups.

Zhang Guorong had just brought this masterpiece of Backstreet Boys back to rehearse, and when he was looking for a band and inviting musicians to listen to it, some people besides Li Xiaotian also objected. Generally speaking, Hua Xing does not release songs other than Cantonese songs.

Finally, the trouble came to Fong Yiwei. It was Fang Yiwei who was once a popular singer in Nanyang. She felt that this song had the potential to become a hit and make Ah Wing become famous in Niu Bu Luo or Ah Mei, so she decided to support it.

Now the single is released first, and the company also built momentum at the beginning and spent some money on publicity and distribution, but no one is sure whether it will be a hit or not until it is actually released.

Fortunately, the response after the initial release was good. There's nothing wrong with him, just by listening to the music, you can't tell he's a white Chinese... After all, Ah Wing studied in England and has sung English songs for many years.
