Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

At night, customers come in one after another at the Wave Bar.

At this time, an ATV staff member named Li Tong in the audience came here as usual, ordered a glass of wine, and then sat quietly.

During this period, he would go to the Wave Bar almost every night, order a glass of wine, and listen to the resident singer.

Sometimes when he meets a singer he likes, Li Tong will try to get the singer's contact information and then persuade him to participate in the "Starlight Talent Singing Contest".

Over this period of time, he has collected several singers that he thinks have potential, and they have all successfully signed up.

However, after hearing that Sister Liu in the same group had already signed up twenty contestants, Li Tong did not dare to neglect.

But it's a pity that he spent the whole day today and couldn't find any outstanding singers.

At this time, a young man was singing a lyrical song on the stage, "The Wind Keeps Blowing" by Leslie Cheung.

This song is adapted from "The Other Side of Goodbye" by Momoe Yamaguchi, an album of the same name released by Leslie Cheung in 1983.

As soon as "The Wind Keeps Blowing" was released, it was immediately enthusiastically sought after by the public, and the song was sung in the streets and alleys.

Moreover, it is also very popular among young people, and it is regarded as a classic song of Leslie Cheung.

Li Tong has listened to this song "The Wind Keeps Blowing" many times, but almost all of it was sung by Leslie Cheung.

But tonight, when listening to the young man on stage singing "The Wind Keeps Blowing", he suddenly felt that there was a vague shadow of Leslie Cheung in the other person.

Taking note of the other party's appearance, Li Tong decided to wait until he finished singing and then invite the other party to participate in the "Starlight Talent Singing Contest".

After five songs, the young man finally finished singing, and there was only sparse applause in the bar.

Before leaving the stage, the young man noticed that one of the guests who applauded him seemed to be applauding seriously, not in a perfunctory way.

Upon seeing this, the young man bowed deeply to the other party again. After all, not many people were willing to listen carefully to his singing.

In order to support his family, he usually has to perform in several bars, but recently, the number of bars he can work in has decreased sharply.

When he finished cleaning up backstage and was about to leave the bar, he suddenly saw the customer who had applauded him seriously before.

"My name is Li Tong, a staff member of the ATV production team. This is my business card."

Li Tong handed his business card to the young man opposite.

When the other party heard that Li Tong was from ATV, he immediately showed a puzzled expression, but still took the other party's business card.

"What do you want from me?"

TV station staff were simply unattainable to this young man, especially a small person like him who wanted to enter the entertainment industry.

Once a TV station staff member is willing to help, it will definitely be better than having to work in vain on his own.

"I think you sing very well. Are you interested in signing up for the "Starlight Singing Contest"?"

"You mean me?"

The young man pointed at his nose and looked at Li Tong in shock.

He obviously didn't expect that the other party came to him to want him to participate in the "Starlight Talent Singing Contest".

"Yes, your singing skills are a bit like Leslie Cheung's, and your vocals are also very good, and your singing is stable. You are very hopeful that you can enter the top 16."

Li Tong never expected that the young man in front of him could reach the level of top three.

As long as he can advance to the top 16, he can get at least 50,000 yuan. This is already his salary for more than a year.

"Top 16? What are the benefits if I can make it to the top 16?"

Hearing the other party's question, Li Tong was immediately speechless.

Contestants in the "Starlight Talent Singing Contest" have to get into the top three to get bonuses and record contracts.

If he can only advance to the top 16, there will be no benefit at all for him.

"It seems like there isn't one. If that's the case, then there's no need for me to participate."

In fact, he doesn't have much time. He has to rush to sing every night, and he also has to go to work in the morning.

The family of four relies on him and his mother to work, so he has no time to have fun at all.

"Twenty thousand yuan. If you can advance to the top 16, I will reward you 20,000 yuan. If you can advance from the top 16, the bonus will be increased to 50,000 yuan. If you can get the top three...then you don't need me.

Rewarded."

"Why?"

The young man didn't understand why Li Tong said this.

"Don't you know, the top three will not only have record contracts, but also generous rewards."

"Reward? What a generous reward."

From the look on his face, it seemed like he really didn't know about the rewards in the "Starlight Talent Singing Contest".

"The first place has one million, the second place has 500,000, and the third place has 200,000. Do you really not know?"

Li Tong didn't expect that since the other party knew about the "Starlight Singing Contest", how could he not know about the rewards?

"I'm participating."

When Li Tong said this, the other party agreed directly without even thinking about it.

He really didn't know about the rewards. If he had known, he would have signed up long ago.

"That's great. You can come see me at ATV tomorrow. By the way, I don't know what to call you yet."

"My name is Zhang Weijian, you can just call me Jianzi."

At this time, Zhang Weijian was only 19 years old.

He looked completely different from the bald figure he had in later generations.

With his youthful face and thick hair, there is no way to compare him with the Zhang Weijian of later generations.

Originally, in the previous life, Zhang Weijian was able to rise to prominence because he got Leslie Cheung's phone number by chance. After calling for several months, the call finally got through.

Then Leslie Cheung explained his situation to Leslie Cheung. Unexpectedly, the other party actually asked him to meet and even helped him.

Leslie Cheung did not transfer to China Star in this life, and Leslie Cheung also failed to obtain Leslie Cheung's phone number.

However, his encounter with Li Tong unknowingly led him to participate in singing competitions.

After returning home, Zhang Weijian had difficulty falling asleep all night and kept tossing and turning in bed.

If you can get into the top three, your family life won't have to be so hard in the future.

Moreover, receiving the bonus will not only improve his family's life, but also give him the opportunity to concentrate on his favorite path, singing.

But is it so easy to get the top three? Thinking of this, Zhang Weijian began to feel anxious again.

In the end, he didn't know how he fell asleep. After the alarm clock rang the next day, Zhang Weijian opened his hazy eyes and immediately ran to wash up. Then he took the registration form and rushed to ATV to sign up.
