1990: Starting from Baojia Street

Li Yuanyuan reacted quickly. At first, she heard Dong Wenmiao say that she was from Yan Guang, and later she heard her modestly say that she was a tailor, so she guessed, Sister, are you majoring in fashion design?

Dong Wenmiao was not a fashion designer, but she did not explain, just nodded, Yeah.

Do you want to join our support club? Li Yuanyuan asked expectantly.

Dong Wenmiao looked at the flyer in his hand and smiled, I'm going to buy tickets to watch the movie first. It seems to be starting soon.

Li Yuanyuan nodded repeatedly, Okay, okay, sister, you go watch a movie first.

Then Dong Wenmiao went to the box office to buy a movie ticket for Sanmao Joins the Army and went into the theater.

This movie has been released for a few days, and Dong Wenmiao has always wanted to watch it, but he has been too busy during this period, so he has never made time to come. It just happened that he had time tonight, so he came.

She also has an album Piano Boy, which was not bought but given to her by Xu Feng. She has already heard the main soundtracks in Sanmao Joins the Army, but she only listened to these songs while watching the movie. The feeling is completely different from listening to it alone.

For example, the passionate song Awakening. When she listened to the song alone before, what came to her mind was the fierce scene of the two armies fighting, but in the movie, it turned out to be a cow running crazily. This strong contrast also It makes people laugh.

When mourning the teacher's funeral, the adapted song A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix was also unique and made the scene feel very funny.

In the middle of the scene where I saw Lao Jun's performance, there was a scene in which a soldier wearing a hat crookedly stood behind the protagonist. This scene didn't last long, but Dong Wenmiao recognized it at a glance. That was Zhou Yan.

Originally, other viewers were laughing in the scene of Labor in the front, but Dong Wenmiao held back her laughter. When Zhou Yan showed up, no one else was laughing, but she chuckled.

She thought it was funny that Zhou Yan was wearing a crooked hat.

After watching the movie and leaving the theater, she unexpectedly ran into the girl who stopped her just now.

elder sister.

Dong Wenmiao glanced at Li Yuanyuan in surprise. She didn't expect that the girl didn't leave.

You've been waiting outside for so long just to wait for me?

Li Yuanyuan smiled and said nothing, but her expression said everything.

Dong Wenmiao also smiled, Do I need to fill in any information to join the support club?

Hearing this, Li Yuanyuan knew that Dong Wenmiao was willing to join the meeting, and she said excitedly, Just leave the basic information.

OK.

Dong Wenmiao nodded, took out a pen and paper from his pocket, wrote his name and department, and then handed it to Li Yuanyuan.

After taking the note, Li Yuanyuan took a look at it, and then said with a smile, Sister Miao Miao, I will register your information in the register after I go back. I will also contact you if there are any events in the future.

Li Yuanyuan then wrote her name and mailing address to Dong Wenmiao, Our activity location is No. 2 Teaching 303 of our school. There are usually activities every Sunday afternoon. If you have time, you can go there and participate in the activities.

Dong Wenmiao nodded, Well, I will go there when I have time.

Li Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment and then said, Sister Miao Miao, can you tell me more about the group logo you just mentioned? We don't understand this kind of thing very well.

The reason why she waited for so long was that on the one hand she really wanted to develop new members for the support club, and on the other hand it was also because the group logo that Dong Wenmiao mentioned just now attracted her.

Their support club has been established for a few months, but no one has ever mentioned this kind of thing, mainly because there are really only a few people in the support club before, and they really have no experience.

Although there are not many people in the support club now, there are about thirty people, and it is beginning to take shape. Inspired by Dong Wenmiao, she also felt that it would be good to have a unified logo to enhance the cohesion of the support club.

Uniform clothing is definitely unrealistic. After all, the cost of clothing is high, but if you just get a small nameplate, it is still possible.

If you are making a nameplate, you need to design it. You can't just write the name of the support club on the nameplate. That would be too featureless.

In fact, Dong Wenmiao doesn't know much about the fan club. She only gives advice in this regard from the perspective of visual communication major.

Visual communication is a very profound knowledge. It can be used everywhere in reality. The logo of the organization, the uniform, the door of the store, the cover of the book, as long as the eyes can see it, it all has something to do with visual communication, but it is often Being ignored.

Seeing Li Yuanyuan's eyes full of expectation, Dong Wenmiao said, I can help you design a badge.

Hearing this, Li Yuanyuan was overjoyed, Really, Sister Miaomiao, thank you so much.

Dong Wenmiao smiled and said, You're welcome. After all, I am also a member of the support club now. I have been busy these two days and I probably won't have time to go there this weekend. How about, next Sunday, I will go to your school to participate in activities. By the way I’ll bring you the design draft to take a look at.”

thanks, thanks.

Then the two chatted for a few more words, and Dong Wenmiao said goodbye to Li Yuanyuan.

Looking at Dong Wenmiao's back, Li Yuanyuan was still a little dizzy. She didn't expect that when she distributed flyers here today, she not only gained a member from another school, but also the other party agreed to help design a badge.

…

On Saturday morning, not long after Zhou Yan got up, he received a call from Xu Feng.

Xu Feng told him that the investment budgets for Tree Hole and The Sixth Sense have been drawn up. The former is 6.2 million and the latter is 16 million.

Both of these figures are a bit beyond Zhou Yan's expectations. Zhou Yan himself had made a rough budget before. In his opinion, the budget of Tree Hole can definitely be achieved within 5 million, which is still a relatively comfortable state. , if you save a little, you can definitely get it with two to three million.

The budget for The Sixth Sense is slightly higher, but it should still be within 12 million.

Xu Feng smiled and said, Let's find someone more famous for the heroine of The Sixth Sense.

The reason why the budget for The Sixth Sense was increased to 16 million was because Xu Feng wanted to hire some more famous actors, especially for the role of the heroine.

In a previous conversation, Zhou Yan expressed his views on the heroine. He believed that the heroine did not have many roles, so just find someone similar in the mainland, and there was no need to spend too much money.

But obviously Xu Feng has a different view. She believes that since it costs money, then don't be stingy about it, and the heroine should also find a famous one.

Xu Feng’s idea was that it would be best to find an actress from Hong Kong, which would be beneficial to the release of subsequent movies in Hong Kong.

Although Zhou Yan still wanted to save money and spend it on equipment and service, he also knew that Xu Feng was right. Blindly saving money on actors was not a good thing from a business perspective.

Why do we use well-known actors? It's because famous actors can bring in box office.

So Zhou Yan was not stubborn, but asked Xu Feng with a smile, Sister Feng, do you have anyone to choose?

Xu Feng smiled. It was easier to communicate with Zhou Yan than with Chen Kaige. Although Zhou Yan also had his own persistence, compared to Chen Kaige's stubbornness, Zhou Yan was much better.

I have drawn up a list of candidates, please listen to it, Lin Qingxia...

As soon as Xu Feng said the first one, Zhou Yan quickly said, Sister Feng, let's not consider Lin Qingxia.

What's wrong, do you think she's not suitable?

Zhou Yan curled his lips, It's too expensive.

Lin Qingxia is indeed very expensive now. She belongs to the first echelon of female stars in Hong Kong. If she were to find her, the salary would be at least two to three million. Zhou Yan did not want to spend nearly 20% of the budget on a not very important girl. On the protagonist.

Xu Feng smiled and said, It's just a shortlist. Go ask the price first. Maybe someone thinks your script is good and is willing to reduce the price?

Zhou Yan didn't think Lin Qingxia had any reason to lower the price, and Lin Qingxia's base price was too high. Even if it was a 50% discount, it would still be over one million, and Zhou Yan still didn't want to use it.

Uh... what about the others?

In addition to Lin Qingxia, Guan Zhilin, Liu Jialin, Wu Jiali, and Zheng Yuling.

After hearing these candidates, Zhou Yan nodded. The salaries of these films are much less. They are basically first-line female stars in their thirties with relatively low salaries. They are expected to win within one million.

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, Why don't you get in touch first, and I will go to Xiangjiang to audition for them later.

No matter what, Zhou Yan wanted to see how their audition went. Anyway, he was going to Xiangjiang at the end of the year, so he just happened to take care of this matter.

Okay, I'll have someone contact them first.

Well, I just happen to have some contact with Xu Guanwen and the others, and we'll be together then.

No problem. Xu Feng smiled and asked, Are you satisfied with the life assistant Zhang Youan found for you?

Very satisfied.

Zhou Yan is indeed very satisfied with Jiang Xia. Although this girl is very fierce, she is very considerate, doesn't talk too much, and knows how to keep a distance.

Not to mention her ability to do things, she was able to complete some of the tasks assigned to her by Zhou Yan very quickly.

These days, she is also helping Zhou Yan find a place to open a studio.

As long as you are satisfied, then let's say this first and talk about it later.

Not long after Zhou Yan talked with Xu Feng on the phone, he received another call from Wu Ziniu.

On the phone, Wu Ziniu told Zhou Yan very happily that Tomson Company had already drawn up a budget for Tree Hole, which was as high as 6.2 million.

Of the 6.2 million, after deducting the 100,000 given to Zhou Yan and the 150,000 given to Ge You, there is still 5.95 million left. After so many years of filming, this is the first time Wu Ziniu has fought such a wealthy battle.

In fact, it's not just Tomson's movies that are generous. The cost of making movies has indeed skyrocketed in the past two years. No matter what kind of movie is made, more money is spent than before.

That is to say, if they look for Ge You now, they can get him with a salary of 150,000 yuan. If it takes another one or two years, Ge You's salary can be doubled.

…

Zhizhi, Tomson Company has a new film appointment and I want to ask you about your time here.

Early on Monday morning, the agent gave Guan Zhilin an outline of the script.

Without even looking at the script, Guan Zhilin asked three questions, Who is the director, who is the leading actor, and what is the budget of the movie?

The agent smiled and said, The director is Zhou Yan, the male lead has not yet been decided, and the budget is 16 million.

Guan Zhilin curled her lips, Who is Zhou Yan?

The director of the movie The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly released in the summer is considered a relatively famous young director.

I've never heard of it...how was the box office of that movie?

More than ten million.

After hearing that the box office was only over 10 million, Guan Zhilin asked again, How much salary are they going to give me?

We haven't gotten to that point yet, would you like to read the script first?

Guan Zhilin glanced at the script, shook her head and said, No matter how good the script is, what's the point? If the director is not good, it will definitely not work, unless they pay more. And don't I have many film appointments? There is no need to cooperate with a new director, it is very unstable. of.

In the past two years, Guan Zhilin's career has been on the rise. She has many film appointments, so she naturally has her challenges.

The agent sighed slightly. He had already read the outline of the script for The Sixth Sense. The story was very good and very different from ordinary movies.

Although Zhou Yan is a new director, he has already proven himself. Maybe this time The Sixth Sense will be a big hit.

But from Guan Zhilin's point of view, there is nothing wrong with not taking this kind of role. After all, there are still many film appointments from well-known directors waiting for her.

How about you take a look at the outline of the script? the agent asked again.

Seeing her agent say this, Guan Zhilin curled her lips and said, Let me take a look.

Then she picked up the script, but she just flipped through it casually, without reading it carefully, and threw it back on the table.

It doesn't suit me very well.

Seeing her like this, the agent didn't say anything.

…

Liu Jialing got the script outline at almost the same time. She was a little more patient than Guan Zhilin and read the outline of The Sixth Sense from beginning to end.

She admitted that it was a pretty good story, and she had no problem with the new director Zhou Yan, but she was not very satisfied with the role she was going to play.

In this story, the main characters are the male protagonist and the younger one. The female protagonist...that is, the male protagonist's wife has relatively few roles.

After reading the outline of the script, Liu Jialing made two demands. The first was to increase the heroine's role, and the second was a salary of 1.5 million, and both demands must be met.

Tomson searched around Xiangjiang and contacted several candidate actresses, but the results were not very good. Among the actresses, only Zheng Yuling was willing to audition and had the minimum requirements, but also made demands. The salary is 1.6 million.

In fact, Zheng Yuling's request is understandable. If you work with a big director to participate in a big production, the salary should be lower. If you work with an unknown director, the salary should be higher. This is also the industry rule.

Young directors naturally have to pay more, otherwise who would cooperate with you?

After Xu Feng listened to the report, she also frowned. She could raise the salary for the film, including Zheng Yuling's offer of 1.6 million, which she felt she could agree to.

But modifying the script and adding more scenes to the heroine, as proposed by Liu Jialing, is definitely not feasible. Even if she could agree, Zhou Yan would not be able to agree.

Although Zhou Yan is easy to persuade, when it comes to creative issues like this, Zhou Yan is very principled. He will never change the script just because of the actor's request, unless the change is really beneficial to the story.

Obviously, Liu Jialing's request does not fall into this category.

Xu Feng also called and told Zhou Yan the situation.

Zhou Yan didn't feel uncomfortable at all when he heard the news. He didn't have to use these people anyway.

Xu Feng suggested that Zhou Yan go to Xiangjiang to get in touch with Zheng Yuling. Zheng Yuling has been quite popular in the past two years, and the 1.6 million yuan salary will not be lost.

But Zhou Yan smiled and said, Forget it. I'll look for Sister Li later and ask her if she has time.

Xu Feng hesitated and asked, Is Gong Li a little younger?

Gong Li is twenty-seven years old, which is younger than the previous candidates.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, It's okay. Isn't Sister Li more mature than Guan Zhilin?

Hearing this, Xu Feng smiled. That's right. Although Gong Li is a few years younger than Guan Zhilin, she does look more mature than Guan Zhilin.

Moreover, Gong Li's acting skills are more solid than those of Guan Zhilin and others, which is more in line with Zhou Yan's requirements.

As for the salary, although Gong Li's salary has increased a lot now, it is still not as good as the previous ones, and Zhou Yan and Xu Feng went to find her, so the price was easy to negotiate.

It's just that Gong Li's box office appeal in Hong Kong is weaker, which is her disadvantage.

Have you contacted the candidates for the male lead? Zhou Yan asked, he was more concerned about the casting of the male lead.

Speaking of the male lead, Xu Feng laughed, It's not bad. Xu Guanwen is quite interested in the script, and the salary requirements are not high. However, he has been very busy in the past two years, and the schedule may not be available... Leung Ka-fai is even more He was interested. After reading the outline of the script, he expressed his willingness to play this role and wanted to read the entire script.”

Then just show it to him.

Let's wait until Zhou Runfa gets a reply.

Zhou Yan was stunned, You also contacted Zhou Runfa?

Ask me, I think if Chow Yun-fat can get it within four million, he can still be considered. His box office appeal is not comparable to Tony Leung Ka Fai and Xu Guanwen. Xu Feng said with a smile.

Zhou Yan nodded and didn't say anything. Anyway, he felt that Zhou Runfa would definitely not be able to take it down.

Liu Jialing and the others all know how to ask for more money. How could Zhou Runfa not ask for more money when faced with this situation?

By the way. Xu Feng said again, I have already told Miaomiao about the costume design, and she agreed. You can find a time to talk to her later.

Zhou Yan nodded, No problem, I'll contact her shortly.

Okay, let's hang up now.

After talking to Xu Feng on the phone, Zhou Yan didn't waste any time and called Dong Wenmiao.

Zhou Yan first called Dong Wenmiao's office, but no one answered. Thinking that today was Sunday and Dong Wenmiao was not at work, he called Dong Wenmiao's home again, but no one answered.

In this case, Zhou Yan put the matter aside for now.

…

At this time, Dong Wenmiao, who was not at work, had just arrived at Yenching Normal University. Today was Sunday, and she came to participate in the support club activities.

Dong Wenmiao arrived at No. 2 Teaching 303, the venue for the support club's activities, and found that many people had already come to the classroom. They were all gathering in small groups to chat.

The eyes of the boys near the door lit up when they saw Dong Wenmiao.

Today, Dong Wenmiao wore a light gray knitted cardigan with a beige turtleneck sweater underneath. One side of her hair was casually scattered and the other side was tucked behind her ears. The whole person looked very gentle and relaxed, and compared to Compared with the clothes of ordinary students, although her outfit is not bright at all, it looks very fashionable.

Not to mention that in addition to her high-end outfit, Dong Wenmiao's appearance is also very outstanding.

One of the boys asked enthusiastically, This classmate, who are you looking for?

Before Dong Wenmiao could speak, Li Yuanyuan ran over excitedly, Sister Miao Miao, you are here.

Seeing Li Yuanyuan, Dong Wenmiao smiled. At least she was not looking in the wrong place.

You're not late, are you?

Li Yuanyuan smiled and waved her hand, No, no, we have just arrived, and the activities haven't started yet.

Yeah. Dong Wenmiao nodded.

Seeing that Li Yuanyuan was familiar with her, the boys next to her asked proactively, Vice president, is this a new member of our support club?

Well, that's right. Li Yuanyuan smiled, then raised her voice and said, Let me introduce to you Dong Wenmiao, a new member of our support club. Welcome.

When they heard that there was a new member, everyone was very happy and clapped to express welcome, especially a few boys, who drummed very energetically. Who doesn't want to see beautiful women?

After introducing Dong Wenmiao, Li Yuanyuan took Dong Wenmiao to the president Zuo Li.

Sister Miao Miao, this is our president Zuo Li.

Dong Wenmiao smiled and nodded, Hello, President Zuo.

Hello, classmate Dong Wenmiao. Zuo Li smiled, and then looked at Dong Wenmiao expectantly, I heard from Yuanyuan that you studied design at Yanguang?

Seeing Zuo Li's expression, Dong Wenmiao understood what he meant, and smiled and took out a design draft from his handbag.

This is the badge I designed.

Zuo Li took the design draft, and Li Yuanyuan and Shang Wenya next to him stretched their heads over.

There is a circle on the design draft. The background color inside the circle is light blue, and inside this circle, you can see the word zhou at first glance.

If you look carefully, you can find that the outer frame of zhou is two eighth notes connected together, and the ten inside is the cross of the violin's bow and the body. The middle horizontal line is a bamboo flute, and the mouth is a Camera lens.

In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that the zhou is very irregular, but at first glance, you can still recognize it as the character zhou. Moreover, the character zhou is in black and white, which feels like a piano keyboard.

Zuo Li and others were amazed by this design.

This design is great! Zuo Li exclaimed.

Shang Wenya also nodded repeatedly, Yeah, and it's very appropriate. The camera, bamboo flute and violin are all elements of Teacher Zhou.

There is also a piano. Li Yuanyuan added.

Hearing their voices, other members nearby also gathered around.

Zuo Li excitedly held up the design and introduced to them, This is the badge designed by classmate Dong Wenmiao for our support club.

When they heard that the support club actually had a badge, everyone was very excited and started circulating the badge design draft.

Because the elements contained in the design are very obvious, everyone can see it at a glance, and they all exclaimed, saying that this badge is very cleverly designed.

The design doesn’t actually need to be that complicated, as long as it’s appropriate and looks comfortable, it’s great. Especially for their badges, what they need is for others to recognize them at a glance. If they are too complicated and others can't tell what they are, that's not good.

Student Dong Wenmiao, why is the background color blue? someone asked.

If there is any shortcoming of this design, it might be the light blue color of the background. This color is cold and covers the entire badge, making the badge not particularly conspicuous.

Dong Wenmiao smiled and said, I like this color better.

After hearing this explanation, no one else said anything. Shouldn't designers be allowed to add something they like to the work?

In fact, this color is not Dong Wenmiao's favorite, but Zhou Yan's.

Dong Wenmiao has worked as a costume designer for Zhou Yan's movies, so he naturally knows Zhou Yan's preferences. This color is used in many places in the costumes of the characters in The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly and the set of the movie.

When designing this badge, Dong Wenmiao was thinking that since the badge was designed for Zhou Yan's support club, it should naturally use Zhou Yan's favorite color.

Seeing them circulating the design draft, Dong Wenmiao added, I left a blank space below the badge, and you can add the member's number later.

Zuo Li scratched his head, We don't have a number.

Dong Wenmiao smiled and said, It's okay if you don't have it. It won't affect you if it's empty.

Yeah. Zuo Li nodded, but he was already thinking about the number.

Dong Wenmiao is right. It would be really good if every member had a number.

What is the theme of your event today? Dong Wenmiao asked again.

Li Yuanyuan smiled and said, There is no special theme. It is just to share Teacher Zhou's recent new works and talk about the plans for the next week.

A new work? Are they two new songs he wrote?

This time Li Yuanyuan and the others were stunned.

What two songs?

Dong Wenmiao was also stunned. When she heard Li Yuanyuan mention her new work, she thought she was talking about the two songs Zhou Yan wrote for Anita Mui.

She took out a tape from her handbag and said, That's it.

Li Yuanyuan looked at the tape in her hand, What is this?

Anita Mui's new album Legendary Queen.

Amei's new album?

Shang Wenya took the tape and looked at it repeatedly to make sure that he had not seen it before. The key tape said 1992-11 on the back, which means that this should be an album that will be released next month.

Her first reaction was that this was a pirated tape. There are many pirated tapes nowadays, many of which are named after famous singers, but the songs in them are not from these singers, or some of them are old songs of these singers, and the rest are all messed up. s things.

Of course, it’s not necessarily pirated. Although it says November, many albums will actually be released in advance.

Li Yuanyuan did not worry about whether this was a pirated album. She asked Dong Wenmiao, Sister Miao Miao, what does this album have to do with Teacher Zhou?

Dong Wenmiao pointed to If Love Has God's Will and Stay with Me on the catalogue, This song and this one were both composed by Zhou Yan.

Zuo Li looked at the tape catalog with suspicion, and then at Dong Wenmiao. This news was too sudden for them.

Did we bring a cassette player? Zuo Li asked.

Bring it, bring it, it's in the corner. A boy said.

Zuo Li nodded, took the tape to the corner, and stuffed the tape into the cassette player.

There is no need for him to fast forward, because the first title song on side A is If Love Is God's Will.

The prelude sounded quickly, a sad duet of violin and piano, and then Anita Mui's voice sounded.

Put the necklace in your mouth

Even if you kiss me, you need practice

If one day we cry until we don’t even look at each other,

Leave it to your descendants as a souvenir

…”

This is a Cantonese song. No one here knows Cantonese, so they can’t quite understand the lyrics, but they just think it sounds good.

This song, without even understanding the lyrics, gives people a very sad feeling.

Many people in the classroom didn't know why the president suddenly wanted to play music, but they didn't speak at the moment and listened to the music quietly.

The more Zuo Li listened to it, the more he thought this song sounded good. At the same time, he felt that this song was not quite like Anita Mui's previous style, or that it was different from most songs in the current pop music world.

He somewhat believed that this song was written by Zhou Yan, or he wanted to believe that this song was written by Teacher Zhou.

Li Yuanyuan's thoughts were similar to Zuo Li's. If what Dong Wenmiao said was true, how great would it be? Teacher Zhou brought them new works again, and they were in new fields.

Zhou Yan's music has been introduced to everyone in the form of pure music before. This is the first time for him to sing pop songs, and from the beginning, Hong Kong's Daughter Anita Mui sang for him.

Shang Wenya took advantage of listening to the song and looked through the booklet inside the tape. The composer of the two songs If Love Has God's Will and Stay with Me was indeed written by Zhou Yan.

But this does not fully prove that these two songs were written by Zhou Yan, because there is no way to prove that the tape is pirated. If it is a pirated tape, the information on it cannot be trusted.

But soon, Shang Wenya’s suspicion disappeared.

A few minutes later, If Love Has God's Will finished playing. Zuo Li ejected the tape and turned to side B. The song Stay with Me was the first song on side B.

Immediately, when the prelude of Stay with Me sounded, Zuo Li almost jumped up.

This melody!

It turned out to be Forever.

Many members who didn't know the situation were craning their necks and looking this way. They didn't understand why the president suddenly played Forever Together. Aren't we going to exchange new works today? That should be the song from Sanmao Joins the Army Soundtrack.

But soon, they were dumbfounded.

Because there is singing in this song!

Where is the road ahead? Why are we both in such a hurry?

Who is mentioning me secretly and selling it down as soon as possible, I am confused that day

Cross-sea train, who will I meet again in this car?

…”

It's Anita Mui's voice and the melody of Forever Together. All doubts disappear at this moment. This is the song Zhou Yan wrote for Anita Mui.

They had never thought that Forever Together would become a song, but when they heard Anita Mui singing it, they thought it sounded very good and had a very different feeling.

It's still a Cantonese song, and they still don't understand the lyrics, but it doesn't affect the melodious and soothing singing that purifies their souls at all.

Be able to appreciate the vicissitudes of life like an adult, and be pure and kind like a child

Be aggressive and strive for victory at any time, but also be restrained and tolerant

There is no need to use uniformity, then there is trouble, where to go and where to go in the end?

…”

After the last part of the song was sung, several members asked impatiently.

President, what's going on?

Why did Forever become a song?

This voice sounds familiar, who sang it?

It seems to be Anita Mui.

…

Zuo Li suddenly heard so many questions and was a little confused. After pondering for a moment, he said with a smile, This is a new song from Anita Mui's new album Legendary Queen. This one and the one just played are all Teacher Zhou composed the music.”

The one just now?!

Teacher Zhou actually wrote songs for singers?

No wonder the song just now was so good.

Someone else suggested, President, President, quickly play those two songs again.

Whatever line you do once, you must do it ten times!

Zuo Li nodded, and in response to their request, he switched the tape to the beginning of side A and played If Love Is Provident for them.

While the song was playing, Zuo Li also took Li Yuanyuan and the others aside.

Classmate Dong Wenmiao, where did you buy this tape?

A friend of mine gave it to me.

Dong Wenmiao's tape was given to her by Xu Feng. When she got the tape, the album had not even been released in Xiangjiang. Xu Feng got the tape in advance through connections and sent it to her in advance.

Shang Wenya smiled and said, Your friend is from Xiangjiang, right?

Dong Wenmiao nodded: Well, she is often active in Xiangjiang.

That's right, this album must have been released in Xiangjiang. It hasn't been released in the mainland yet, so we haven't seen it. Shang Wenya said.

Li Yuanyuan said with a smile, Even if it was released in the mainland, if we didn't pay special attention, we wouldn't know that the two songs in it were written by Teacher Zhou.

You don't need to observe it in particular. As long as you hear someone playing Stand By Me, you will definitely know it.

That's right.

Li Yuanyuan smiled and looked at Dong Wenmiao again, Sister Miao Miao, you are such a lucky star. If it weren't for you, it might have been a while before we found out about Teacher Zhou writing songs for Anita Mui.

Dong Wenmiao smiled and said, I also hit it by mistake.

That's why I say you are a lucky star.

Zuo Li said excitedly, We have a theme for today's event.

That's right, there are two themes, one is Teacher Zhou's new song, and the other is the support club badge.

Shang Wenya rubbed his hands and said, I feel that these two songs can help us attract many members.

Hearing this, Zuo Li and Li Yuanyuan both nodded.

Compared with pure music, this kind of pop song has a much wider audience.

…

Zuo Li and the others didn't know that they heard this song almost at the same time as the fans in Xiangjiang.

That morning, the album Legendary Queen was put on the shelves in some video stores in Hong Kong.

Originally, Legendary Queen was going to be officially released on November 1, but the fans in Xiangjiang were too enthusiastic, so it was put on the shelves a few days earlier.

Because not every store has the goods, some big video stores even have queues.

These video stores also know what fans want, so they have been playing the eleven songs from Legendary Queen on a loop since morning.

The album Legendary Queen is actually a collection, which is commonly known as fried rice. Most of the songs in it are songs that Anita Mui has sung before, such as The Woman in the Scandal, Dream Embrace, Red Doubts.

But the two new songs included in it surprised Anita Mui's fans.

Hua Xing didn't fool them this time and included two new songs of such high quality in the album.

Some video store owners know that fans love to listen to these two new songs, and even play only the new songs and not play other old songs at all. Everyone has already heard the old songs anyway.

Therefore, many people can listen to the two songs Stay with Me and If Love Is God's Will on a loop in video stores.

Most fans actually only care that the song is sung by Anita Mui. As for who wrote the music, they don't care. Of course, some fans will pay attention, but they are a minority after all.

But it's different for people in the industry. Some people in the pop music industry first look at the composer.

For example, producer Du Zizhi immediately saw that the composer of these two songs was Zhou Yan, and then he immediately called Huaxing Company to inquire about Zhou Yan.
