Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 79
After entering the recording studio and seeing the people inside, Tang Huan finally felt Fang Yihua's sincerity for the cooperation between the two parties, and a smile quickly spread from the corner of his mouth, "Ms. Fang has a heart, thank you."

Fang Yihua felt relieved, and at the same time sighed secretly, this Mr. Tang, despite his young age, is really easy to fool, for his composition of "Farewell My Concubine", he even played his trump card.

Tang Huan couldn't be dissatisfied because he saw Gu Jiahui and Huang Zhan here.

The former has long been a priceless asset to TVB, while the latter signed a contract with TVB in 1978 to exclusively write lyrics for TV series.

The two have collaborated continuously since then and became the much-talked-about "Hui Huang" group. In the 1970s and 1980s, they created many classic theme songs for TVB TV series.

Tang Huan's plagiarized "Shanghai Beach", the original theme song of time and space, was written by these two, but it has been cut off now.

Seeing such talents, Tang Huan had to admire TVB's profound heritage.

Gu Jiahui came to Xiangjiang at the age of 17. At first, he lived with his sister Gu Mei in a wooden house area in Kowloon. He worked for a foreign company's laboratory during the day and studied evening school at night. One can imagine the poverty of life.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Gu Mei became famous for singing movie theme songs.

Seeing her sister practice singing frequently, Gu Jiahui became interested in music and became a luthier through study.

In the 1960s, he received sponsorship from Run Run Shaw to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA.

After returning from his studies, Gu Jiahui first composed film scores for Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, and then joined TVB as music director.

In the 1950s and 1960s, when Huangmei tune was popular in Xiangjiang, Gu Mei recorded "Legend of the White Snake". However, because her vocal range was in the middle range, the famous composer Wang Fuling asked her to raise her voice, so her voice became hoarse for a while, which led to the film "Blue and Black". ", "Wait Journeyingly" and "Boat" were discarded, and the singing career has since encountered a bottleneck.

So from 1963, Gu Mei studied painting with Zhao Shao'ang of the Lingnan School of Painting, and became a painter with a unique style of painting and held many solo exhibitions.

This shows how talented the Gu family siblings are in art.

Although Tang Huan "wrote and composed" the lyrics and music of "Farewell My Concubine" in a grand manner, there must be a dedicated person in charge of the specific arrangement. Fang Yihua gave this task to Gu Jiahui.

Therefore, after the greetings, Tang Huan thanked me sincerely, "Thank you for your trouble in writing this."

Gu Jiahui smiled back, with an inquiring curiosity in his eyes, Huang Zhan spoke more directly, and kept urging: "Tang Sheng, we will wait for you to show off your singing voice."

Tang Huan's thick skin is enough for him to face the pickiness of professionals calmly. If he makes a fool of himself, it will be regarded as entertainment.

What's more, Tang Huan's music foundation is also good. Although it is not a natural sound, it is also a remarkable standard male voice, and when he and Deng Lijun sang a husband-to-wife antiphonal song, he was also affirmed by the other party.

Coupled with Tang Huan's usual composure, the audition process was extremely smooth, and he sang the unique flavor of the song "Farewell My Concubine", which gave people an amazing feeling.

Seeing that they didn't see the joke about the cross-border failure, everyone applauded and accepted the facts before them.

After all, Xiangjiang, a small place, has gathered talents from all over the world. The threshold for the so-called astonishing move has already been raised very high.

For example, Guan Zhengjie, who sang TV drama episodes of Li TV's "The Change of Heavenly Silkworm" and "Tianlongjue", is a famous amateur singer, and his job is an architect.

Another example is Chen Baiqiang, who has recently started to make a name for himself in the music industry. He is also a son of a wealthy family.

Besides, Huang Zhan, who is known as a ghost, was originally from the advertising industry, but now he is not flourishing in writing lyrics and media creation.

Tang Huan smiled and asked, "At this level, I can record a MV."

Seeing Gu Jiahui and Huang Zhan nodding each other, Tang Huan rolled his eyes, "I've already thought up the theme song for the TV series "Shanghai Beach". , sign your name."

As Tang Huan said, he took out the gold pen, took the note, and wrote vigorously. He quickly wrote the lyrics and music of the popular "Shanghai Beach", and signed two checks for 2 Hong Kong dollars respectively, and pushed them together. past.

"This is the pen fee, please accept it." Tang Huan looked at Gu Jiahui and Huang Zhan sincerely. With the current fame and status of these two, this song must be related to them.

What's more, in the original time and space, the episode of "Shanghai Beach" was originally the work of the Huihuang duo, and the right should be returned to the original owner in a disguised form.

Since you want to earn your reputation, you have to do all the tasks to make sure nothing goes wrong.

"2 Hong Kong dollars, Tang Sheng is really generous, so I will not be polite." Huang Zhan, who is 8 years younger, is far more free and easy than Gu Jiahui, with a look of no taboo, picks up the check, picks up the lyrics and reads it shaking his head. stand up.

Seeing this situation, Fang Yihua felt a little upset. TVB had an exclusive cooperation agreement with Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui on the lyrics and music of TV dramas. In the end, Tang Huan took advantage of the loopholes in front of him, and it was not easy to reprimand Huang Zhan. How could you accept private work? Well, this master is a hot commodity.

Tang Huan noticed this detail and almost laughed out loud. It has to be said that with the capital of being proud of one's talents, one's waist is also hard.

This Huang Zhan is indeed a wonderful person, no matter in terms of literary talent or personality.

In 1975, he created the slogan for the Xiangjiang Family Planning Guidance Association to promote birth control activities - "Two is enough to sun the number", that is, two children are enough, which became the most frequently quoted when couples talked about how many children to have. Quotations.

"As soon as the Remy Martin starts, good things will come naturally" is also an advertisement jingle written by Huang Zhan.

Of course, as a great talent, Huang Zhan has never written lyrics for the theme songs of TV dramas. There are many famous sayings and proverbs that are elegant, profound, and life-savvy. In "Family Changes", "Do you know that the world is always changing? Change is eternal" has become a sentimental world. Unpredictable idioms; in "Chu Liuxiang", "I travel alone in a thousand mountains, and I don't have to send them off" has also become an elegy to send off relatives.

In the field of advertising, which is his old profession, Huang Zhan has also made remarkable achievements.

In 1970, he served as the co-creative director of Huamei Advertising Company and became the first Xiangjiang person to win the Clio Award, the highest honor in the American advertising industry.

In addition, Huang Zhan is also a businessman.

In 1973, he formed "Bao Ding Film Company" with his friends.

In 1976, because of his love for talented woman Lin Yanni, he divorced his wife, the famous singer Hua Wa, who was pregnant with a young daughter. In the same year, he and Lin Yanni founded Huang Yulin Advertising Company.

It can be said that although he is already a famous and successful person, Huang Zhan's behavior style is still rash and unrestrained. When dealing with people, he can be straightforward.

……

The waves are rushing, the waves are thousands of miles away, the river never stops,
Cleaned up all the things of the world, mixed up with the tide,
Whether it's joy or sorrow, I can't tell the difference between laughter and sorrow in the waves,

Success or failure cannot be seen in the waves.

……

"Great lyrics, this is destined to be another famous song." Huang Zhan naturally understood the music score, and after singing a few lines in a low voice, he praised loudly.

Fang Yihua glanced at Huang Zhan, who was full of intoxication, and couldn't help but slander, can he be more moral, although he takes money to do things, but he can't be so obvious.

"Brother Hui, take a look." After Huang Zhan handed the note to Gu Jiahui, he narrowed his eyes and savored it carefully.

Gu Jiahui tapped the beat lightly, with an expression of joy at seeing Liexin on his face.

Seeing that Gu Jiahui was also serious, Fang Yihua changed his mind and asked Tang Huan with a smile, "Is this song also sung by Tang Shenglai?"

Tang Huan shook his head, "How can I have so much time to be distracted on this aspect, not to mention that this song doesn't have the special charm of Peking Opera like "Farewell My Concubine". I have already thought about the candidate."

"That's it." Fang Yihua, who failed to get back the bargain, showed a look of disappointment on his face.

Mr. Huo, an outsider, was bored and urged Tang Huan, "What song is it, please sing it."

Tang Huan shook his head with a smile. How could such a classic song be shown off casually.

There were so many people coming this time, it was difficult to record with peace of mind, so I had to wait for the next time, and it happened that Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui were asked to further optimize the arrangement of "Farewell My Concubine" and polish the theme song of "Shanghai Beach".

Thinking of this, Tang Huan stood up and said goodbye, "Ms. Fang, thank you for your cooperation. I have taken it to heart. I will hand over the cooperation to Secretary Hu Yinmeng to follow up. Let's communicate and coordinate more."

After leaving the recording studio, he pulled Guan Zhilin who had been obediently waiting beside him, and Tang Huan said to Mr. Huo: "Sister Jiahui and I are going to prepare the dresses for the evening banquet, so you can do what you want."

Master Huo patted Tang Huan's shoulder understandingly, "Then I won't delay your business, brother."

Hearing the other party deliberately emphasize the word "business", Tang Huan couldn't help but roll his eyes. Did he look anxious?
"Brother Huan, I didn't expect you to be so talented." Guan Zhilin's big eyes sparkled with little stars, and her tone was full of admiration. Brother Huan.

"My brother knows a lot of things. After a long time, you will understand." Tang Huan gently squeezed Guan Zhilin's little hand.

Guan Zhilin didn't notice the difference and gave Tang Huan a sweet smile.
