Entertainment 1998

Chapter 29 29, settling accounts

In 1998, the mainland music scene was still in its golden age. Of course, some people also said that this was the last glory of the record era.

But this doesn’t prevent singers from making money!
For example, the song "Heart Too Soft" which became popular in early 97 made the originally mediocre singer Richie Jen instantly famous in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau. His momentum directly crushed the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong Island, and his record sales reached a terrifying 2000 million copies.

Even the usually arrogant queen of pop, Wang Fei, publicly stated in an interview with the media that this year, she is not as popular as Richie Jen.

Some people may say that the sales of the original album of "Heart Too Soft" are not that high, only about 5 or 6 million copies. But even if the sales are only 5 or 6 million copies, Richie Jen has earned at least tens of millions from this album. And this is just the share of the record...

To be honest, Jiang Feng was jealous of Ren Xianqi's income, both in his past life and this life. 1000 million RMB, at this moment in Beijing, could almost buy 4 courtyard houses.

Therefore, Jiang Feng decided that he should replicate his success as much as possible and make his first pot of gold in life.

The song "Heart Too Soft" is a phenomenal musical work, which is generally difficult to copy. Jiang Feng knows this. But if one song can't beat "Heart Too Soft", I can use two songs. If two songs can't beat it, then I can use four, six or even ten songs.

Is the song "Twilight" popular enough? Yes, it is. It brought Zhou Chuanxiong, who was about to quit the music scene, back to life.

Is the song "Mouse Loves Rice" popular enough? Yes, it is popular enough. It is said that this song alone has earned the singer Yang Chengang hundreds of millions of dollars.

Is the song "Two Butterflies" popular enough? It is definitely popular enough, otherwise the singer of this song, Pang Long, would not have said such brainless words in an interview with reporters a few years later: "When it comes to singing, I am much more professional than Andy Lau."

If these three songs are not enough, it doesn’t matter, we also have "That Night", "It's Not My Choice", "Ugly", "Nunchucks", "In My Song", "Old Boy" and "New Divide".

There are a total of ten songs. No matter which one of them is picked out alone, it will be a hit in the Chinese music scene in two years. If some singers have one such song in their album, they will basically become very popular. Not to mention, Jiang Feng wants to release them all together.

The reason why Jiang Feng is so extravagant is that he wants to make a quick buck and run. What he likes most is acting. He can enjoy different lives in different movies and TV series, just like when I was dragged around by that black dog some time ago. As for singing...

Forget it.

I felt so ashamed to be jumping, dancing and singing in front of thousands of people.

Just as I was thinking about it, we arrived at Recording Studio No. 6 in Baihua Recording Studio.

Standing at the door, the tall Wang Fei reached out and knocked on the door.

"Dangdangdang..."

"Please come in."

It was a male voice, a little weak, but it sounded very gentle.

"Yadong, where's Dou Wei?"

Wang Fei walked in, looking a bit rushed.

"out."

The man sitting in the control room of the recording studio was wearing a white shirt. He looked very clean and refreshed.

In his previous life, even if Jiang Feng was not from the entertainment industry, he would have recognized him at a glance. He was Zhang Yadong, a musician who had dated many beautiful celebrities. There was a time when any netizen who opened the entertainment section of any portal website would always be able to see gossip about this guy.

"out."

Wang Fei frowned, but then raised his hand.

"Just go out. I'll compose this song myself. Um, Jiang Feng, right? Can you please write down the lyrics and music of the English song you just sang? I plan to record it today."

"Well, sorry, Sister Fei, I think you may not understand what I said just now. What I said is that I can't compose songs, I can only hum.

The English song "The Day You Went Away" that you just heard was actually hummed by me when I was just humming."

"Jiang Feng, are you saying that you don't know the musical notation or the simplified musical notation?" Wang Fei completely understood what Jiang Feng said.

"Yup!"

Jiang Feng reached out and scratched his head.

I feel a little embarrassed in front of the beautiful woman. Although I have all the memories of the folk musician Blind A Bing and can play the erhu to perfection, A Bing himself cannot read music scores.

Back then, Professor Yang Yinliu of the Central Conservatory of Music found Blind A Bing, hoping to record the famous erhu piece "Erquan Yingyue" in its entirety. Blind A Bing asked, "How long do you want to listen to it?"

How long do you want to listen..., this sentence means that this famous song has no score. I can play it for you as long as you want to listen, endlessly and over and over again.

"Um…"

Turning his head to look at Jiang Feng, Wang Fei, who was holding his forehead with his hand, was a little speechless, but there was nothing he could do. The other person really didn't know the music score, and he couldn't call him a pighead.

"Well..., Jiang Feng, shall we do it?"

Wang Fei pulled a chair next to the console in the recording studio control room, sat down, and took paper and pen from the console.

"Jiang Feng, you sing. I'll write down the lyrics first, and then we can sing them one by one."

"Oh, oh, ooh
Well, I wonder Could it be?
... "

……

Most people think that Wang Fei is just like Na Ying, a relatively pure singer who cannot write lyrics or compose music and can only sing other musicians' works.

But today, Jiang Feng felt sincere admiration for this queen of the Chinese music scene. It turned out that she could write songs, and she did so quite quickly.

Just like now, transcribing the music score, in less than an hour, this tall and beautiful beauty has already transcribed the entire music score of the song "The Day You Went Away".

After transcribing the score, Wang Fei looked at the results of his labor carefully, his eyes full of joy. He stood up from his seat, turned around and handed the lyrics and score to the musician Zhang Yadong who had been standing behind him.

"Yadong, please help me finish the arrangement of this song, and rehearse with the band to complete the soundtrack for this song. I want to record it this afternoon while my voice is still good."

"okay!"

Zhang Yadong looked down at what he was holding in his hand, then turned and walked out of the music room because the band in the recording studio was not there.

As soon as Zhang Yadong left, the control room of Studio 6 suddenly became quiet. Wang Fei turned around and stared at Jiang Feng beside him for a long time before picking up the paper and pen from the console again and said:
“Jiang Feng, the song is good.

I love so much.

So regarding this song, I plan to give you the highest price in the market, 3 RMB, which is higher than all the musicians in the market. "

"Um…"

Jiang Feng thought for a moment, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Sister Fei, just tell me what you want to say. I am just a poor student, and I believe you will not cheat me."

"Ha ha…"

Wang Fei laughed when he heard this.

"Jiang Feng, look at what you said. You sell me a song and I give you 3. How can I be cheating you?
However, I can still calculate some accounts for you."
