Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

It turns out that in that time and space, Luo Dayou composed the music, and the famous Xiangjiang lyricist Jian Ning and the famous Wanwan female lyricist Chen Guizhu wrote the lyrics for "Where We Don't Meet in Life" and "The Truest Dream" respectively!

The former is sung by Priscilla Chan, while the latter is sung by Stephen Chow.

Of course there is no need to mention Luo Dayou. Maybe not many people have heard of the name Jian Ning, but the Cantonese versions of these classic songs such as "Love in the Storm", "Flowers in the Water", "The Morning of Marrying", "Lonely Heartache", etc. are all written by him.

Chen Guizhu wrote popular Mandarin songs such as "A Dream", "Actually You Don't Understand My Heart", "Toast to the Past", "The Truest Dream", "Just Like This Lifelong". She is one of the eight famous female stars in the Bay Area music scene.

Both the Mandarin and Cantonese versions are equally classic, so after Luo Yun saw it, she had no objection to Lu Wanyu singing the Cantonese version. None of the singers she hired could sing Cantonese songs, and there were not many people in the mainland who could sing.

Now it's all the people from Xiangjiang who are playing.

But the Mandarin version of "The Truest Dream" is a bit reluctant to part with.

Why give it to her?

Isn’t it good for Guo Xin to sing?

Zhao Yawen can do it too.

If it doesn't work, leave it to other female singers from the mainland. As soon as it is announced, they will definitely grab their heads.

But Yu Dongqing wanted to give it to Wu Jingqi!

Seeing Luo Yun like this, Yu Dongqing smiled and said: "Aren't you happy to see you like this? I told you that Wu Jingqi and I have nothing to do with each other. What kind of jealousy do you have?"

"I'm not jealous, so what if you go to bed with Wu Jingqi?"

"Um?!"

Yu Dongqing looked at her.

"I'm kidding you. I know you can't. What I mean is that the singers in our studio, Guo Xin, all want to sing new songs." Luo Yun said.

"Their songs can be written slowly, but this song is most suitable for Wu Jingqi to sing. Think about it, how would Huang Qihui feel if he listened to it?" Yu Dongqing said lightly.

Wu Jingqi had just finished her concert in Taipei and returned to her villa in Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong. After taking a shower, she put on her pajamas and was lying comfortably on the sofa.

Although this trip to Taipei was harder, it was very rewarding. There were three consecutive games at the Little Arena. Although it was not as full as the venue in Xiangjiang, the attendance rate was still very impressive, reaching more than 70%, which exceeded my team’s original expectations. estimate.

In Mandarin, Cantonese and even Hokkien, Wu Jingqi tried her best.

The last welcome was the two songs "Alang's Love Song" and "Awakening Time" written by Yu Dongqing.

In order to sing more good songs, Wu Jingqi's team also specially contacted Yu Dongqing's studio to cover the Mandarin version of the love song "Love Song 1990" from "Alang" on the spot, which caused constant cheers.

Li Tiejun, a well-known music critic in Wanwan, later joked: Wu Jingqi knocked on the door of the Wanwan music scene with these two songs.

Hey, I wish I would have sung more covers of Mandarin songs written by him at concerts.

That song "Sweet Honey" is very nice, and "Invisible Wings is also good", and even the ballad "The Story of Time" he sang is also nice.

Of course, it would be better to write a song specifically for yourself like "When You Wake Up from a Dream".

As soon as this song was released, it immediately swept through all the major music charts in mainland China and Taiwan, including the Hong Kong music scene, which is not very fond of Mandarin.

But she also knew that although the two had a good relationship and were friends, she knew in her heart that it was not easy to get Yu Dongqing to write a song.

That guy was so proud that he wrote songs for his band to play.

The phone on the coffee table suddenly rang. When I saw the phone number, it turned out to be a call from the mainland.

Yu Dongqing's agent Luo Yun.

She immediately sat up and picked up her phone.

"Is this Miss Wu Jingqi?" A woman's voice came from the phone.

"It's me, Jesus, sister Luo, hello." Wu Jingqi said affectionately.

She is not called Miss Luo but directly called Sister Luo.

On the phone, Luo Yun was polite: "Miss Wu, Mr. Yu recently wrote a song. The Mandarin version is called "The Truest Dream". I wonder if Miss Wu is interested?"

"Okay." Wu Jingqi agreed.

"Okay, I will send you the lyrics msn right away. As for the specific copyright agreement, I will discuss it in detail with your agent, Ms. Song Shufen. Goodbye."

"Wait a minute." Wu Jingqi hurriedly stopped: "Sister Luo, what do you mean, is there a Cantonese version?"

"Yes, the Cantonese version called "Where Do We Meet in Life" has been given to Miss Lu Wanyu to sing."

oh.

Wu Jingqi felt a little regretful.

It would be great if I could sing in both Mandarin and Cantonese.

Just like "Alang's Love Song".

Once Lu Wanyu sings it, once it becomes a classic, it will not be easy to cover it yourself.

Thinking of this, Wu Jingqi asked again: "Sister Luo, is Mr. Yu with you? I want to say a few words to her."

"Sorry, Mr. Yu has already gone to pick up his daughter. Please don't disturb him."

"I have something to do. Okay, I'll call him directly. Sister Luo, bye." After that, he hung up the phone.

snort.

You lied to me, right?

How could Yu Dongqing pick up her daughter?

Isn’t it true that such a big star doesn’t have a nanny? Do you want him to do this in person?

Excuse!

If you don't let me fight, I will fight!

After saying that, Wu Jingqi crossed her legs and picked up her phone.

Luo Yun really didn't lie to Wu Jingqi. Today was Friday and students got out of school early in the afternoon. Yu Dongqing didn't have anything to do. After breaking up with Luo Yun, she drove directly to the school to pick up her daughter Yu Tongtong from school.

It's the weekend.

After school, I take my daughter out for a big meal and then go out for a walk in the evening, having fun.

Luo Yun will also be on vacation tomorrow and will come over to have fun and be like a family.

As soon as I picked up my daughter and got in the car, my cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Wu Jingqi calling from Xiangjiang, I answered the call.

"Holly, thank you for writing another good song for me!" Wu Jingqi sincerely thanked her.

"Why are you so polite? Luo Yun told you? Just sing if you like it. But I have given the Cantonese version to Lu Wanyu, so don't fight."

"No, no, that's not what I meant when I called. I called specifically to express my gratitude. One more thing, the Hong Kong Composers and Lyricists Association will hold a Hong Kong music development exchange seminar on April 22, and specially invites mainland and Some musicians from Wanwan are joining in to help make suggestions, including you, so let me tell you in advance."

oh?

Yu Dongqing has heard of this organization.

This is an unofficial organization founded in the 1970s. Its main purpose is to promote copyright awareness, promote and sponsor music activities, encourage local creation and establish music scholarships to improve the standard of music in Hong Kong.

It has a great influence in Hong Kong and the Chinese music scene.

And the current chairman is Xia Wenxi!

"Well, let's wait until we receive the official notification." Yu Dongqing replied.

"Okay, I'll wait for you in Xiangjiang."

Wu Jingqi hung up the flowers and was in a happy mood. She opened MS on her mobile phone and saw that Luo Yun's email had been sent. Not only did she have the lyrics, but the arrangement was also completed.

How thoughtful.

She gently tried to hum according to the lyrics.

Tonight the breeze is blowing

blow my heart

How many dusty past feelings

come back to my heart

The past is blown away by the wind

hurt my heart

You are that sweet dream that is unforgettable

Hidden in memory

It’s indeed Qu’s father’s song.

The melody is beautiful and the lyrics are catchy.

Wu Jingqi hummed softly, wondering what the Cantonese version would be like?
