Chapter 69 Improve your literary skills

Cheung Kwok-wing's album was released on May 1, 1983 and the music continued to spread. After selling more than 30,000 copies and creating his first gold record sales in Hong Kong, he made a name for himself in the music scene.

Even though he debuted a long time ago and has been around for almost 8 years, he is still far behind Mei Yanfang at this stage.

Fortunately, I Want is very popular.

Again, he studied in England and sang in English songs in the early years. Just listening to the songs, the ghosts couldn't tell whether it was a Chinese or a white person...

The popularity of the ghost group has attracted the interest of some banana people and colonial people. At this stage, these people are relatively rich and have status.

Of course, Director Zhao's songs were not given away for free. He had negotiated with Huaxing. From now on, Zhao Donghuai would pay eight Hong Kong dollars in dividends for every single album sold in Hong Kong Island, which was why the cooperation was reached.

After Beyond became popular, he earned 8 yuan for releasing an album. When Andy was at the peak of the Four Heavenly Kings, he earned 20 yuan for selling an album...

Compared to this, Zhao Donghuai smoked too little?

No, like Beyond and Hua Tsai, they get a commission from selling albums. They get 8 or 10 yuan for an album and a dozen songs.

Zhao Donghuai smoked a single record, just one song.

How to say these two? An album may retail for 100 yuan, but a single only sells for 30 yuan.

After doing this calculation, you know that he draws eight yuan per card, which is a lot. The share outside Hong Kong Island is low. There is no way, Huaxing's overseas channels are too weak.

This is because Zhao Donghuai sent professionals to talk to him many times. If you don't agree, I will ask other singers to sing "I Want" before the talks continue.

………………

A few days later, I Want became more and more popular in Hung Hom, Hong Kong Island.

Zhao Donghuai's Hurricane Rescue is being filmed in Hung Hom. The film is about the male protagonist Lin Zhengying and several retired companions. After retirement, he became the bodyguard group of the popular female singer Guan Jiahui and was in charge of the end of a concert.

Guan Jiahui just returned to the backstage, because the passage door was not closed properly... A large number of fans poured into the backstage and frightened the singer. The security team of Lin Zhengying and others escorted Guan Jiahui away quickly and efficiently.

In the original story, we only filmed the singers coming on and off the stage backstage, and there was no actual singing scene. It was easy to film this way.

However, during the preparations today, Guan Jiahui came over excitedly and said, "Brother Huai, your song for Ah Rong has become a big hit. There are many people playing the song on various radio stations, TVB music programs and even on the roadside these days."

"When will the album be released? Do you want me to go on stage and sing this song?"

Zhao Donghuai was speechless, "Can you sing??"

She needs to be able to sing, and her singing voice is good enough. Of course she wouldn't mind filming the scene where she sings on stage, even if it's just a quick flash of her singing.

Even if it is difficult to take pictures of the front of the concert, if you want to take pictures, let Ah Wing come to Hung Hom to gather some fans to show off, it will be free of charge. After all, if he really holds a concert, fans will have to pay for tickets to enter.

You don’t have to spend any money to call fans to come, and a lot of people are willing!

It's a pity that Guan Jiahui can sing? In the 1980s and 1990s, when many artists were everywhere in Hong Kong, have you ever heard her sing?

Guan Jiahui, "..."

After dozens of seconds of silence, she held Director Zhao's arm and acted coquettishly, "Is it okay to dub and lip-sync?"

Zhao Donghuai is too lazy to pay attention to her. Even if you sing and dub her, there is no one else...

He is looking forward to Ah Rong quickly becoming famous in Wanwan. The Backstreet Boys are known as a global boy band and are very popular. Their first album was not only a hit in Europa and Amei, but also in Wanwan. , which also sold more than 300,000 copies.

The first pure English album sold more than 300,000 copies. According to Hong Kong standards, it is six times platinum.

When their explosive song "I Want" is released, it will not only be a few platinum hits in Hong Kong standards, but "I Want" will also be the top album in the island country. This album dominates the best-selling list in 25 countries, and the island country is also one of the 25.

Zhang Guorong is just a man, not a group.

But with Ah Wing's appearance, the originator of Hong Kong-style singing and dancing, and his Asian identity, it is not impossible to break Cheng Long's monopoly of Chinese male stars in the island country.

After being speechless for a moment, he patted Guan Jiahui and said, "Stop thinking about it and rehearse well. When I have time, I will give you guidance on your singing voice."

"Your speaking voice is pretty good now, but your singing skills are not good."

Guan Jiahui blinked, "Where can I give you guidance? At your home? Brother Huai, what do you mean by the idiom hesitation? You can help me improve my literary skills."

Zhao Donghuai, "Don't make trouble, or you will get sick."

He suspected the other person was driving, but he had no proof.

Why did you end up on the life channel when we were just talking about career?

It is said that since the filming of Hurricane Rescue began, there have been many beautiful girls on the crew, and Kwan Ka-wai's... initiative has increased dramatically.

…………

In December 1983, Guan Jiahui became ill.

Facing the questions from Hu Huizhong and Lan Jieying, He Qing just said that Guan Jiahui's illness was sudden and a bit serious. For example, her voice was hoarse and she couldn't speak, her limbs were weak, and she had difficulty walking.

There is also the fact that the body is almost dehydrated, which is a rather regrettable syndrome.

When the passenger plane arrived at Taoyuan Airport, Hu Huizhong walked out with the crew and said with some regret, "My hoarse voice and inability to speak could be due to throat inflammation, right? Colds are usually not that severe."

"The weakness in the limbs is like the fatigue caused by a bad cold. Jiahui also said before that she must come to Wanwan to have fun and I will be the tour guide. It's a pity. Has she seen a doctor?"

The crew of Hurricane Rescue came to Benbei to film various scenes on Hong Kong Island. Whether it was fighting actions or various literary dramas, they were almost all filmed.

Now I come to Wanwan to shoot outdoor scenes at airports, hotels, and streets. To put it bluntly, during those days on the Hong Kong Island set, Hu Huizhong, He Qing, etc. didn't have many roles.

They often join the group mainly to learn. Hu Huizhong wants to transform from literary and artistic films to the Hong Kong film market. What's the matter... A pure newcomer must learn more. When she first joined the group, she couldn't even figure out how to move and whether she would be confused during her acting. You don’t know anything when you step out of the mirror.

Lan Jieying is similar.

During the time on the set, Hu Huizhong felt that she and Guan Jiahui had the best relationship... Strangely enough, Guan Jiahui and He Qing lived in the same dormitory.

Logically speaking, their relationship should be the best.

But in fact, Guan Jiahui plays best with her, but her relationship with He Qing and Lan Jieying is relatively average.

Under Ms. Hu's words, He Qing waved her hands hurriedly, "I've seen the doctor. It's fine. I'll be better after a while."

God knows why Guan Jiahui got so sick after learning the vocal techniques and breathing rhythms of singers from Director Zhao?

She declined to comment, but after Guan Jiahui became ill, the Hong Kong sister who lived in the same dormitory with her had a much better attitude toward her.

This made He Qing happy. Initially, Zhao Donghuai handed her over to Kwan Jiahui, who taught her Cantonese and familiarized her with the environment of Hong Kong Island. He also took her to see more of the crew and learn more in the early stages.

Guan Jiahui not only had a lot of perfunctory feelings towards her, but also had some strange feelings of vigilance and hostility towards her.

After the serious "illness", she helped bring food, support and other small care, which made the relationship between the two women warm up very quickly.

While walking, the moment Zhao Donghuai, Zhang Guorong and Lin Zhengying walked out of the passage, cheers of "Leslie!" "Leslie?!" suddenly sounded outside.

The voice is a bit loud.

He Qing and Hu Huizhong, who were walking behind, were obviously stunned for a while.
