Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Holding a concert at Hong Kong Coliseum?

Sounds quite tempting.

However, Yu Dongqing is very honest: "Singing Mandarin folk songs in Xiangjiang is not popular, and you may even lose money."

He knew very well that although he had a certain reputation in Xiangjiang, except for the appreciation of big shots like Xia Wenxi, to ordinary people, he was actually a music creator and had written several hit songs for Wu Jingqi and others. Cantonese songs known,

If we really want to come to Hong Kong to hold a concert like last year’s tour and conduct market-oriented operations, we must consider the cost.

There is really no need to generate electricity for love.

But Zhou Fanming said: "You can sing in Cantonese. The Cantonese songs you write are not bad at all. Write a few songs for yourself and then come to Hong Kong Coliseum for a concert. My Times Records will be your organizer and will definitely arrange it for you." It’s all right!”

Ah?

Zhou Fanming actually had this idea.

If you really come to Hong Kong, you must find a local media company, just like you do in various cities in the mainland.

"Mr. Zhou, I have no plans yet." Yu Dongqing said.

How many Cantonese songs do you need to write?

Still have to rehearse.

Too tired.

Zhou Fanming was happy: "It doesn't matter. If Mr. Yu wants to come to Xiangjiang to perform a concert one day, you must inform me first. I will be happy to cooperate with you."

"no problem."

If you really come to Xiangjiang to perform, Zhou Fanming is indeed a good partner. He controls a huge entertainment empire and can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Yu Dongqing took a flight back to Yanjing at noon the next day. When she walked out of the security checkpoint with her suitcase, she saw Luo Yun coming to pick her up.

Wearing a purple skirt, simple and elegant.

"You are so busy, why do you have to go there in person? Didn't you ask Li Wei to drive here?" Yu Dongqing said.

"How about that?" Luo Yun took Yu Dongqing's arm affectionately, and the two of them walked out and said, "Wu Jingqi is a big star, and she even went to the airport to pick you up. How could I not come?"

"Why are you so jealous?" Yu Dongqing glanced at her.

"I'm kidding you." Luo Yun smiled: "I've already prepared your favorite mutton soup for you."

"It's almost summer and you still drink mutton soup? Aren't you afraid that I'll get angry and get a nosebleed?"

"What are you afraid of? I'm here." Luo Yun said, her eyes moving.

Yu Dongqing looked at her and was ready to make a move. He would execute her on the spot when he got back!

On the way home, Luo Yun was driving, and Yu Dongqing talked about his trip to Xiangjiang.

Luo Yun laughed when she heard that Liu Weici took the initiative to find Yu Dongqing at the exchange meeting, and that the two of them "shared the same hatred" to the outside world.

"I didn't expect Liu Weici to be able to let it go."

"Actually, how much grudge do we have? It's just that the so-called colleagues are enemies." Yu Dongqing said with emotion.

"But don't hope that you two can improve your relationship. Liu Weici is that kind of person." Luo Yun said: "I saw that he updated his Weibo today, bragging about how he fought with the Confucian scholars in Xiangjiang, and did not mention your name at all. .”

"Hey. This guy is quite thick-skinned. Let him have his own fun. There's no need to pay attention." Yu Dongqing smiled casually.

Yu Dongqing also talked about having afternoon tea at Xia Wenxi's house and chatting about Zhou Fanming's invitation to Qingmanglu Band to hold a concert in Xiangjiang.

"That's a good thing, Dongqing. Tell your buddies that you might as well go to Xiangjiang to perform a concert this year!" Luo Yun immediately agreed.

"When you go to Xiangjiang, you have to sing Cantonese songs. I guess the effect in Mandarin is not very good."

"What does this mean to you? Just write a few Cantonese songs. Didn't you write one for a band called Tongguang in Xiangjiang yesterday? It's very simple for you."

Ah?

"You still have to arrange the music, and it's really troublesome for the band to rehearse." Yu Dongqing said.

"Hey, I know you want to say this, but you just like to be lazy!" Luo Yun said angrily.

"Who doesn't want to? What's the point of being as busy as a dog?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"Okay, okay, I can't tell you what to do, it's up to you. What are you going to do when you come back?"

"Have a good rest. Our brothers have made an appointment to go fishing in Shangzhuang Reservoir tomorrow!" Yu Dongqing said enthusiastically.

Luo Yun was speechless.

But it’s hard to say much.

Yu Dongqing started his leisurely days again, and the Tongguang Band in Xiangjiang was working frantically in his cabin.

The arrangement of "Broad Sea and Sky" alone took several days, and there was also soundtrack and recording in the recording studio.

Finally a complete song was recorded.

After seeing the song DEMO, Wu Qinghua, who had been busy for a whole week, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Upload to MOOV immediately."

He felt success or failure depended on this.

Huang Houhua is a well-known music critic in Hong Kong. Unlike other music critics, he is more interested in paying attention to some non-mainstream songs in the Hong Kong music scene. He believes that in order to maintain the prosperity of Hong Kong pop music, it must tolerate all kinds of music. styles and types of pop music, even Mandarin songs.

However, the major music platforms and charts in Hong Kong are basically dominated by mainstream music, which is full of love and love. It is not easy to find some relatively niche songs.

These songs have relatively low popularity and can easily be buried.

Tonight, as usual, Huang Houhua made a cup of coffee, turned on the computer in his workspace, put on headphones, and started his day's work.

The first is the sweeping gang.

Check the charts of major Xiangjiang music platforms to see if there are any new songs, and then listen carefully. If you think it is better, write a music review. Of course, if you encounter a particularly bad song, you will not hesitate to scold it.

Privately, sometimes major record companies hope to write a music review for the new songs of their own singers.

Of course it's paid.

Huang Houhua basically refused.

He does not make money by this, but by serving as a guest on major variety shows, or participating in various offline competitions as a judge, giving lectures, courses, etc., so he must maintain his professional standards.

I scanned the major charts today and I feel a little disappointed. There are indeed a few new songs, but both the tunes, lyrics and arrangements are very average.

Look, the top song is still the song "Where Do We Meet in Life", which has dominated the list for five consecutive weeks. Although it has been taken down, its current traffic is still among the top three on the list!

What a great song.

This song will definitely have a place in next year's selection of Hong Kong's top ten songs.

Why.

It's a pity that it was written by a mainland musician.

Huang Houhua is not rejecting the mainland, but he feels that this shows that Hong Kong's own musicians are not good.

Since he couldn't find it on the list, Huang Houhua searched for some recently released new songs by himself. Of course, this took more time.

That’s okay, it’s work in itself.

Holding a coffee cup in one hand and clicking the mouse with the other, a new song accidentally caught his attention.

The number of hits and downloads was mediocre, but the title of the song intrigued him.

"Broad Sea and Sky"

Such a grand name is rare among songs full of love.

Huang Houhua clicked in casually.
