Chapter 43 Youth Like Water
From the trip to the United States to the signing of Chen Baiqiang, An Yifei has completed the preparations for the record company. You must know that in the 30 to [-] years before the Internet was popularized, the record industry was more profitable than movies.And after collecting a few masters who almost dominate the music scene in various places, An Yifei is like recreating a money printing machine.

Time brings people not only the passage of time, but also various changes or perceptions.In the coming 80s, whether it is Hong Kong's Chen Boqiang, Taiwan's Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng, or Japan's Nakajima Miyuki and Matsumoto Seiko who has eliminated hidden worries and is happy to return to Japan to develop, will enter a series of creative explosions Expect.Classic songs that have been popular for many years have appeared one after another.

Although it is from the future, An Yifei is still full of longing for the golden 80s, even when he was watching "The Voice" on the spot, he couldn't stop his excitement.Entertainment in Hong Kong is not limited to movies and TV, but also countless classic songs that will appear in the 80s that are getting closer and closer.

He was watching the brutal PK match on the spot, and The Voice has entered the final stage of the live broadcast.Not surprisingly, after the second episode of this novel variety show was broadcast, it once again set off a frenzy of ratings, making the other two TV stations have to avoid the edge for the time being.They also wanted to copy this column, but in the end they were very annoyed to learn that these columns had already applied for patent protection, and they had to pay a large fee to copy them, and had to use a method similar to the three-episode TV series to recover the lost ratings.

Not surprisingly, those who entered the PK competition were Zhang Xueyou, Mei Yanfang, Chen Huixian and Huang Jiaju.From the bottom of his heart, An Yifei liked any of them, so he didn't interfere with the progress of the game.The more than a dozen telephone lines prepared by the TV station are now almost exploded, and the Chinese in Hong Kong and even other parts of Southeast Asia are working hard to support their favorite students.The benefits brought by such interactivity made the whole stage beaming.

This is the first time An Yifei sees the young and slightly green Sister Mei. Although she is only 16 years old at this time, she has 12 years of stage performance experience.Therefore, An Yifei's eyes contained a hint of vicissitudes of understanding and heartache. Thinking of the rumors about her gambling mother finally revealed in the news of later generations, she shook her head secretly.

Mei Yanfang, who was singing the song "The Season of the Wind", felt this distinctive look in her eyes, but years of performance experience did not make her make a mistake, but met this look full of thousands of words from afar. Take a look.Afterwards, he continued to deduce this classic piece calmly and devotedly.

It's a pity that Mei Yanfang's PK opponent is Zhang Xueyou, who will be known as the God of Songs in the future. An Yifei is also very speechless about her elimination, but the uncertainty of competition is the source of ratings, just like a life of joys and sorrows .

Mei Yanfang who returned backstage was still in a bad mood, her sister Mei Aifang who accompanied her was persuading her in a low voice, neither of them noticed An Yifei who walked into the dressing room.

"Cough", after reminding the two sisters with a cough, An Yifei looked at the young Mei Yanfang with a smile on his face.

"Mr. An, nice to meet you"

"you know me?"

Mei Yanfang has recovered her mood quickly, and looked at the man opposite with admiration in her eyes, "Mr. An, people in Hong Kong Island know that you are quite low-key, but you ignore the almost natural gossip mentality of Hong Kong people. The legend about you , almost spread in the streets and alleys.”

Touching his nose embarrassingly, An Yifei was a little helpless, thinking: "I haven't done anything famous either."

Seeing this, Mei Yanfang, who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, explained, "Mr. An, your fresh water plant brings hope and comfort to Hong Kong. There are also people in Phoenix TV who like to talk about many new programs. It’s all from you, and it’s something that many people know now.” In fact, Mei Yanfang still has something to say in her heart, which is: “I really think no one knows about the gossip between you and Hong Gu, A Lian and others. ?”

An Yifei, who had already heard Lin Qingxia and Deng Liyun said this, was helpless, he couldn't let people talk about him, right?I can only change the topic: "Miss Mei, I am very optimistic about your strength. The competition is just for entertainment, not everything. You know my record company, would you like to join?"

"Of course I do. Sister Liyun told us about it. Except for Ah Ju who likes freedom and didn't agree, everyone else is very willing to join Phoenix Records."

An Yifei is not in a hurry either. Huang Jiaju's explosion period was in the late 80s, and now he still needs to accumulate more, and he doesn't have the kind of unruly heart after going through vicissitudes. It is impossible for this person to write those popular songs later.So, after nodding, "Well, Miss Mei, you are welcome to join. You will know how strong the company's resources are in the future."

The news from the Japanese branch of Phoenix Records is: due to the joining of Nakajima Miyuki, many singer-songwriters have been attracted to join; and Taiwan has also attracted Tong Ange and others to join because of Luo Dayou's relationship.Due to the internal mechanism of resource sharing, Phoenix Records has accumulated a large number of original songs from the very beginning under An Yifei's planning and a lot of work, with a high starting point.

Mei Yanfang didn't speak, but walked in front of An Yifei, surprised him and hugged him, and put her head on his chest.After a little hesitation, An Yifei patted the girl on the back. He understood how he felt when he was young without his father's protection, and was forced by his mother to sing on stage.The girl in my arms was already very tired and needed a haven like a father's love.

"Amei, I will be your safe island from now on, and I will be your umbrella, don't be afraid anymore," An Yifei patted Amei's back lightly again as he said.There was a trance in front of my eyes, as if I saw the ups and downs that a four-year-old little loli had gone through since she came on stage to perform.In the complex environment of Hong Kong Island, in the age of countless societies and darkness, there are countless small boats like her in the vast ocean.

Whether it was Mei Aifang, who also wanted to fall into that generous embrace, or Mei Yanfang, who was in tears again, they all believed the words of those employees of Phoenix Film and Television, "When I entered the company, I felt like I had returned home, so I felt at ease."

Mei Yanfang didn't care that An Yifei was stroking her hair like a daughter, she really didn't want to leave that generous embrace, because she lay in his arms, as if all the burdens had been lifted, and she wanted to sleep quietly in her heart last sleep.

After signing the contract, Mei Yanfang also let An Yifei see her ambivalence towards her mother, and she actually asked to move to the dormitory area in the film and television city, not wanting to go back to the home that gave her frequent nightmares.

When watching the live PK match between Chen Huixian and Huang Jiaju again, An Yifei had completely thought of turning his property into a safety island. Those slightly distant memories resurfaced again, and he even recalled those early years in his memory in cold sweat. The entertainment geniuses of Hong Kong Island who have passed away, Aweng, Danny, Jia Kui... There are countless unknown darkness.

"Safety islands alone are not enough, we also need to expand our own strength. Entertainment should not just be entertainment, it should be art, which represents the art of an era. I want to protect them, protect these geniuses, and prevent the conspiracy from succeeding again. .Moreover, whether it is TV stations or movies, we must promote my Chinese culture. No matter whether the future is still the same, since I am here, I will do what I should do, and I will be ashamed.”

Today Chen Huixian is only 14 years old, but her singing skills are already very good.Moreover, her delicate appearance made her more popular with the audience than Huang Jiaju, who had not yet grown up. Therefore, the little girl finally won the competition with a look of excitement.

In one year's time, the original singer of "Song of Thousand Thousand Que", which has been sung for many years, will appear, and three years later, the original singer of "Piao Xue" will appear.An Yifei couldn't wait any longer. In this era, there are many celebrities who debuted in their teens, so they signed the little girl Chen Huixian early.

When Zhang Xueyou won this year's "Good Voice" championship, An Yifei included several future music superstars except Huang Jiaju into his record company as he wished.After Chen Shuhua and Li Zongsheng also came from Taiwan.People in both Hong Kong Island and the southeast began to go crazy for Phoenix Records.

It was Teresa Teng's album "Sweet Honey" that first touched everyone's heartstrings, and the duet of "Heart Rain" and "Walking on the Road of Life" were the same as "Sweet Honey", flying around quickly, making people jaw-dropping It reached the sales volume of gold records within a month. The identity of An Xin who sang duet with this beautiful woman was guessed by many people, and then many people thought of An Xin who wrote a book, so reporters from all walks of life flocked here. Trying to figure out who this is.

1979 was the year that belonged to Phoenix Film and Television. When "Sweet Honey" was still selling well, the gentle Cantonese song "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" once again sparked a buying frenzy, which also made Chen Huixian quickly become famous.Just when people thought it was over, Mei Yanfang, Zhang Xueyou, Chen Boqiang and others also turned out, completely breaking the music scene in Hong Kong.This is what happened on the premise that An Yifei did not use the trump card of "plagiarism" for the sake of long-term success.

In order to ease the market, and also to have enough buffer period for the records of the two singers of one Chinese and one Cantonese and the singers below, Chen Shuhua, who came to Hong Kong, was arranged by An Yifei to go again in the coming year to make a big hit.But both Chen Shuhua and Li Zongsheng are very satisfied with An Yifei's fixed salary, which is much higher than Taiwan's. Chen Shuhua guest starred as the host on Phoenix TV, while Li Zongsheng was writing the theme songs of some serial dramas, and then exercised Own.

Let's go back to the time half a month after The Voice ended, Lin Qingxia was no longer afraid of those scandals under the strong protection of An Yifei.Into the shooting of the new film, and the script "My Sassy Girlfriend" was "written" by An Yifei. Lin Qingxia at this age is very suitable to play the heroine, and the delicate Chen Boqiang was cast by An Yifei main character.Zhang Wanting, a well-known female director in Hong Kong, became the director of this drama, and Hong Gu became the producer without hesitation.
