Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Things have to start from the past two days.

A new song was suddenly recommended on major music platforms such as MOOV, TVB, and KKBOX in Xiangjiang, which quickly attracted the attention of fans.

"Where in life do we not meet"

The melody is gentle and touching, and the lyrics are beautiful. It immediately won the favor of fans, and the number of clicks and downloads increased rapidly.

It only took three days to break into the new song charts of TVB and KKBOX and quickly climbed up. It only took one week to reach the top of the list, creating the best new song in Hong Kong. The rocket-like speed is jaw-dropping.

Singer: Lu Wanqing. Composer: Yu Dongqing. Lyricist Yu Dongqing, arranger: Yu Dongqing!

At the same time, another song also entered the fans' horizons.

It's a Chinese song.

In Xiangjiang, the preference for Mandarin songs is much lower than that of Cantonese songs. Looking at various music charts in Xiangjiang, Cantonese songs are almost dominated by Cantonese songs.

However, the song "The Truest Dream" quickly entered the list and climbed up tenaciously.

Singer: Wu Jingqi. Composer: Yu Dongqing. Lyricist Yu Dongqing, arranger: Yu Dongqing!

It’s that mainlander Yu Dongqing again!

A song with lyrics in Cantonese and Mandarin is not new in the Xiangjiang area, but it is rare for both lyrics to be so well written and written by the same person.

And he’s actually a mainlander!

A famous music critic in Xiangjiang commented on these two songs on his Twitter:

The melody is gentle and lingering, like a pot of warm wine. It sings about the feelings of people like duckweeds, floating in the vast sea of ​​people in the wind, the sadness of two people looking at each other and then forgetting each other, and the relief of meeting again after settling down.

When we meet, we forget all the grudges with a smile.

Lu Wanyu of Times Records was naturally happy. The song she sang was not only popular in the Hong Kong area, but also loved by some fans in the mainland. Mainland music platforms such as NetEase Cloud and QQ Music have signed agreements with the company to introduce it. This song.

Wu Jingqi of Star Records is also in a happy mood, not to mention that the Mandarin version of this song has begun to dominate the charts on major music platforms in Mainland China and Taiwan.

In Xiangjiang, although it was not as popular as the Cantonese version, it also broke into the rankings for the first time, which surprised her.

Although I now focus on singing in the Mainland, I still have a presence in Xiangjiang!

Of course there are happy people and unhappy people.

Huang Qihui is not very happy now.

In his high-end villa in Kowloon Port, Huang Qihui sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, frowned and said nothing.

Sitting next to him was a handsome young man, Zhang Jiaming, a popular singer in Hong Kong.

In fact, Huang Qihui is not so narrow-minded and jealous when his colleagues create a hit song. But the problem is that the creator of this song is a mainlander!

A mainlander has created a high-quality Cantonese song. How can this make Huang Qihui, who has always looked down on mainland musicians, feel embarrassed?

Thinking back to what I said in an interview with a reporter some time ago, it was like a slap in the face.

Zhang Jiaming, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, also looked frustrated.

Are you so unlucky?

Last year, I finally begged Huang Qihui to write the song "Love in the Storm". I was full of confidence that it could dominate the song chart for a few weeks, but it was pulled down by a song after only a week. It was the song "Love in the Storm" written by Yu Dongqing. like you"!

This year, he spared no expense and asked Huang Qihui to create a new song "I Hug You Tonight" specifically for him. He was just about to release it after recording and editing, but suddenly a new song came out. Look how popular it is no longer dominating the charts. The weeks won’t fade away.

It’s still a song written by Yu Dongqing!

Thinking back to the year before last when he was invited to Yanjing to attend the Mainland's Top Ten Golden Songs Awards Ceremony, Zhang Jiaming hated Yu Dongqing's attitude towards him.

But now is not the time to complain, but the top priority, what should I do?

Should you release a new song as planned, face the difficulties head-on, or should you avoid the challenge and postpone the release?

He was hesitant, and today he came to the door in person to hear Huang Qihui's opinion.

He is now a big shot in the music industry.

"It's better to hold off." Huang Qihui said slowly.

"But Mr. Huang, I have already told fans that I will release the new song the day after tomorrow, and the company has also done a lot of publicity for this. If it is postponed, all the hard work will be lost."

In fact, what he wants to say is that if he does this, let alone whether the fans are willing or not, it will just be a joke.

"Then just publish it on time."

"But, I'm worried"

"In that case, why are you hesitating? Is face more important, or is it more important?" Huang Qihui sneered: "I guess the senior management of your company thinks so too."

Zhang Jiaming stopped talking.

In fact, when the company's senior management noticed that the song "Where Are We Not Meeting in Life" was so popular, they immediately told Zhang Jiaming to postpone the release of the new song.

Zhang Jiaming was a little reluctant and even more unconvinced.

Could it be that the song I sang really couldn’t beat Lu Wanyu’s song?

He wanted to ask Huang Qihui, the author of the lyrics and music, if he could support him, but he didn't expect that the other party meant the same.

Why.

This Lu Wanyu, no, it should be Yu Dongqing, he is simply his nemesis!

But now there seems to be nothing I can do.

"Mr. Huang." Zhang Jiaming said suddenly.

"Um?"

"I heard that Yu Dongqing is coming to Hong Kong soon, and CASH (the abbreviation of the Composers and Lyricists Association of Hong Kong) will invite him to participate in this year's Hong Kong pop music seminar."

"I know this." Huang Qihui said lightly.

"We Xiangjiang musicians are exchanging music together, why would we invite a mainlander?" Zhang Jia was clearly aggrieved.

"What do you mean by this?" Huang Qihui looked at the other party.

"I want to say, what does Yu Dongqing, a mainlander, know about Xiangjiang music? CASH is really good. Mr. Xia is really old. He should have retired and enjoyed his old age long ago. You should be the chairman of CASH!"

Zhang Jiaming flattered Huang Qihui, but he didn't expect the other party to sneer after hearing this: "Huh? Will you sow discord at a young age? I advise you to put your mind to singing and don't do any evil things! Let's go!"

Zhang Jiaming's face suddenly became even more ugly, and he couldn't say much and had to leave.

Huang Qihui was sitting on the sofa still thinking about this matter.

Xia Wenxi invited Yu Dongqing to come to Xiangjiang, and Huang Qihui was indeed a little unhappy. Some time ago, I just said that there is no music scene in the mainland but only a singing scene. Yu Dongqing can only write folk rock and other niche songs, let alone Cantonese. I didn't expect that the other party would come up with one immediately.

This is obviously a slap in the face!

And he slapped himself hard!

The assistant said that some netizens have already discussed this matter online.

This mainland guy is really disgusting! Also very scary.

If we don't say anything else, let's at least make his trip to Xiangjiang less pleasant, right?

A smile appeared on Huang Qihui's face.
