Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 169 New Album Songs

Although Fang Yihua's words sounded like she was accusing someone of something.

But from her words, Zhou Ziheng clearly felt that she didn't care.

"Ms. Fang, I'm really sorry, I'm planning to set up a film and television company.

But you know, I don't have much talent in this area.

So I have no choice but to resort to this last resort. If there is any misunderstanding, I will treat you to a meal next time I come to Hong Kong and apologize to you in person."

Zhou Ziheng said with a smile.

It would be better if the other party did not come here to demand an explanation.

But poaching is indeed not a very fair thing to do, so Zhou Ziheng kept his attitude very low.

Fang Yihua's purpose of calling was obviously not to really call for accusations. After hearing Zhou Ziheng's words, she immediately laughed and said:
“This is not a big problem, actually. If the employees below are leaving, it just means there are new jobs with better pay.

Hengzai, if you can give them a good job, we will be happy.”

"Haha, it's their blessing to have a boss like you." Zhou Ziheng laughed.

What he said is actually complete bullshit.

Everyone knows that TVB is notoriously stingy.

Not only TVB, but also the film and television companies below are the same.

The treatment of employees is among the worst in the industry.

If it weren't for the fact that TVB is big and offers many opportunities, TVB would probably be the company that artists are least willing to work for.

"Haha..." Fang Yihua was obviously very clear about her family's situation. She didn't talk much about this issue and asked:
“I heard you are setting up a new cinema chain?”

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Fang Yihua paused and asked:

“Everyone knows that this industry is no longer profitable. After exiting the cinema industry, why are you getting involved now?

Do you have any inside information?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ziheng was stunned at first, then he reacted with a smile.

It's been 1995 years now.

It has been only two years since Hong Kong returned to the embrace of the motherland.

It is well known that Zhou Ziheng is from the mainland.

Moreover, he has good connections in the mainland and has contacts with the upper class.

Obviously, Fang Yihua and others misunderstood Zhou Ziheng when they saw that he dared to intervene in the cinema industry when the industry was depressed.

There was a misunderstanding that Zhou Ziheng knew about the future development direction of Hong Kong, especially in the film industry.

So, Fang Yihua made a special phone call to test the waters.

"There is no insider information. I just thought this industry had potential, and I had some money, so I invested."

Zhou Ziheng said truthfully.

But he knew that the other party would never believe it.
But he doesn't care whether you believe it or not, it's none of his business anyway.

As for the cinemas losing money.

If you want to be a boss, you have to take risks.

"Really there is no inside story?" Fang Yihua obviously didn't believe it.

"Really not!"

The other end was silent for a while before speaking, "Hengzi, TVB has been pretty good to you over the past two years. We've had a very pleasant cooperation. If you have any inside information, please don't be stingy."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but smile suddenly.

As the return to China gets closer, many people in Hong Kong are starting to believe everything they hear.

It can even be said to be a worry about the future.

Sir, even a big company like TVB has this feeling.

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it and focused his attention on the table in front of him.

He did not release any Mandarin album last year.

This incident caused great dissatisfaction on the Pacific side, and they kept urging him to release a Mandarin album as soon as possible. A few days ago, Liu Zhiwen called again.

Seeing that the situation on the other side of the Pacific was so urgent, Zhou Ziheng had to start preparing for the new album.

He began preparing songs for his new album.

The first is a Cantonese song "Mythical Love Words".

Last year, Zhou Ziheng sang a song "Smiling at the Wind and Cloud" for TVB's TV series "Smiling at the Wind and Cloud", and the song caused a certain degree of popularity in Hong Kong.

When the TV series was aired, it topped the charts for several weeks.

Well, because the quality of this song is so outstanding, TVB asked him to sing another song this year.

TVB is currently producing a new version of The Return of the Condor Heroes, but the TV series doesn’t have a theme song yet, so they found Zhou Ziheng again.

Zhou Ziheng did not refuse and took out the song "Mythical Love Words".

In addition to this Cantonese song, Zhou Ziheng also prepared another Cantonese song "Seven Friends".

Both songs are designed to cater to the Cantonese market.

The following songs were all in Mandarin.

"Too Soft Heart", "Waves", "My Dearest", "Tearing the Night".

The hit song of this album is undoubtedly "Heart Too Soft", which is the song that made Richie Jen a top star and was sung all over China. This song alone is enough to make this album a big seller in the market.

However, "Mythical Love Words" doesn't really match the album, but it doesn't matter. This song and "Seven Friends" are both for the Cantonese market, and as long as their popularity can keep up, it's fine.

In fact, at Zhou Ziheng's current position, the incompatibility of song styles will not affect the album at all.

To a certain extent, as Zhou Ziheng's singing skills get better and better, songs of different styles will be sung with a strong Zhou Ziheng style.

Every singer has his or her own unique way of vocalizing and singing.

Different songs, when sung by a singer, will actually be transformed into songs with the singer's style to a certain extent.

Just like Jay Chou, because of his different voice and style, no matter what song he sings, it will be full of Jay Chou's style.

Looking at the five songs in front of him, Zhou Ziheng picked up a pen and wanted to continue copying some hits from his mind.

But after thinking about it, I decided to write a few songs of average quality.

He suffered a loss with the album "Fairy Tale".

Putting ten popular songs in one album will ultimately result in several of the songs being buried.

Songs like "Big City, Small Love" and "Those Years" were supposed to be regulars on major charts. However, because they were put into "Fairy Tale", they were not as good as the other songs in terms of quality and popularity, and finally they were reduced to the status of ordinary songs.

So, this time he learned his lesson and decided that five popular songs would be enough.

With the power of "Heart Too Soft", if other songs are brought in, they will probably just serve as supporting roles in the end.

I just wrote a few more songs.

Zhou Ziheng took out the script of "The Con Man" again.

It’s not that the script isn’t finished yet.

Instead, he was considering how to shoot when the time comes.

“Being a director is so troublesome!”

Muttering something, Zhou Ziheng regretted his decision to become a director.

The position of director is a very time-consuming one.

He doesn't look like an actor at all. When filming, he just goes to the crew and acts.

The director needs to do a lot of work in advance.

Zhou Ziheng already had a lot of things to do, and putting all his energy into directing made him feel a little overwhelmed.
