Everyday film and television world

Hong Kong.

At the end of March, Xiangjiang had a very significant event in the entertainment circle - the first Golden Disk Award of Xiangjiang was born on March 3!

The top three were taken by Taoli Entertainment Company, which also marked that Taoli Entertainment has also become one of the first-class companies in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle!

However, Liu Hao's "Dream Chaser" is not included in the list of winners, because the award period is from January 1976, 1 to February 1, 1977, and Liu Hao himself has not participated in this award for the time being. wishes, so the company did not report his name.

On April [-]th, Liu Hao arrived in Xiangjiang with Lou Xiaoe, He Xiao, and Liu Yang. At Lou Xiaoe's insistence, they did not live in Lou's house, but in a duplex apartment not far from Taoli Restaurant among.

One thing Lou Xiaoe came to Xiangjiang this time to join the Taoli Restaurant and start an internship from the bottom management. All the children have strong self-care ability, in fact, it is just a pick-up and drop-off, and both the school and the surrounding area of ​​the apartment are very safe and secure areas.

The Lou family has already done most of the work for admissions—very direct, very violent, and donated money directly.Of course, this part of the money was allocated from Liu Hao's account.

After a day's rest, assistant Lin Xiaobang took him to Taoli Entertainment.

After entering the company, Liu Hao let Lin Xiaobang go on his own, and he went straight to the general manager's office... The chairman has his own office, but he basically never went there except for a few meetings with the company's top management.

As for the secrecy, there is no important reason, it is simply that he, the chairman, has not officially joined the job and does not want to make public.The senior executives also understand that, except for some important matters that require him to participate in the meeting, it is basically enough to request a report from the general manager.

After knocking on the door, Lou Xiaowei's voice of "please come in" came from the office.

Liu Hao pushed open the door, and Lou Xiaowei stood up from his seat. With a smile on his face, he let Liu Hao sit on the sofa in the reception room, and told the female assistant to make coffee quickly.

"You are as stubborn as your godmother, so you can't live at home? You have to go outside." Lou Xiaowei said reproachfully.

"Godmother wants to be independent, what can I do? Anyway, it's my own house, and it's always empty, so it's still a bit popular." Liu Hao said with a smile.

"Ezi's temper can't be changed."

Lou Xiaowei handed Liu Hao a document on the table, "Look, this is the sales of singles calculated last week."

Liu Hao took the file, and subconsciously searched upwards from No. 4 on the singles chart. There were none from No. 3 to Ten, and none from No. 2 to Five. [-]. No. [-]...

"First?!"

Liu Hao looked at the number one spot on the singles chart. His "Dream Chaser" won the top spot on the singles chart this week with sales of more than 50 copies!The total sales of the single thus exceeded [-] copies.

"I didn't expect it?"

Lou Xiaowei patted Liu Hao's shoulder vigorously, "This is simply a miracle!"

This is indeed a miracle.

Well-written songs don’t mean they can be sung well, especially for new debut singers, there are only a handful of examples of them being able to win the weekly singles sales chart, no matter which new debut singer is able to do this , is definitely something worthy of fanfare.Moreover, the entertainment programs of various radio, TV, and newspapers must be mentioned later, which is undoubtedly waves of free advertisements.

"Why else should I urge you to come over?"

Lou Xiaowei did not forget to mention the important thing: "Ah Hao, the popularity of your single is almost reaching its peak now, taking advantage of these waves of publicity, it is no problem to continue to rise for another month, but the speed and quantity of the increase But it’s not that big. It’s just that when the summer comes, the decline is inevitable. Therefore, we can’t wait for this craze to subside before preparing a new single. As soon as possible... no, it must be at least before the end of April To officially release your new single, try to release your first album before May, this time is a bit rushed.

By the way, time is a little tight now, are you ready?But don't worry, the company's music library has also collected a lot of new works during this period, so let's focus on you first, and you can choose first. "

"Aren't you burying me?"

Liu Hao rolled his eyes: "Don't worry, I've already prepared for the second single." Liu Hao smiled, how could he sing other people's songs with his own music library?

Uh... all the songs were supposed to be sung by others, but ended up being cut off by him.

"Oh? What kind of song is it? Can I listen to it?"

Although Lou Xiaowei had an expectant look on his face, he was a little worried in his heart. After all, the time was too short. Although he believed in Liu Hao's ability in lyrics and music, now it was all due to his good reputation. If the work cannot reach the height of "Dream Chaser", it is inevitable that it will be knocked down from the altar in an instant.

Liu Hao understands why Lou Xiaowei is worried, but it is impossible for him to produce good songs... "Do you have a guitar here?"

"joke!"

Lou Xiaowei glared at him: "Your assistant is incompetent!"

At this time, his assistant brought the coffee in, but saw Lou Xiaowei and Liu Hao walking out.

"Mr. Lou, this..."

The assistant didn't know whether to pick up the coffee or put it down.

"Go to the karaoke room." Lou Xiaowei said.

"Don't let people carry it back and forth." Liu Hao took a cup of coffee and drank it in one gulp, "It's a bit hot."

The little assistant followed behind and rolled his eyes. This is freshly cooked, can it not be hot? !

But she also admired it, this one actually drank it abruptly, can he still sing now?

The karaoke room in the company is used to train newcomers or singers to practice songs, and it is also used for company employees to have fun, so there are multiple rooms, and there are various equipment...including musical instruments.

But it was also Liu Hao's first visit to this place, so he was quite interested.In his space, there is a room with a home theater, but there is really no equipment for singing.

He took a look at the instruments and picked a guitar from them.

There are many suitable songs in his music library, but he thought twice, and finally decided to use the song "Dream Chaser", which he has always liked, so he just took it out now.

This song is known as the Chinese rock version of "Forrest Gump". It is not critical and profound, but it is not lacking in death and struggle, as well as the momentum of being willing to throw one's head and shed blood for idealism.

Liu Hao deftly plucked the strings with his fingertips, and expressed his persistent pursuit and persistence of dreams with his roaring singing. The full emotion in the song seemed to sing the heartfelt voice of everyone on the way to their ideals. People instantly have 100% positive energy.

Lou Xiaowei nodded as he listened. He, who has listened to countless songs, naturally discovered the value of this song at once. He was worried that Liu Hao would not be able to produce a good work because of the short preparation time, but now he feels relieved.

When Liu Hao stopped playing, Lou Xiaowei clapped his hands lightly, and praised: "It's really a good song, I have a hunch it will be a hit." Then the topic changed, "Is this a rock song?"

Liu Hao smiled, "I've just entered the industry, so I still have to explore the specific style."

Lou Xiaowei acquiesced to Liu Hao's statement, "Since this is the case, let's finalize this second single. What is its name?"

"The name of this song is "Chasing Dreams and Hearts."

"That's right, the song lives up to its name." Lou Xiaowei nodded, "By the way, this time, it's best to have all the other songs in the album ready, do you need help?"

"That's not necessary."

While tuning the guitar, Liu Hao said, "Actually, I was already preparing for it before I came to Xiangjiang last time, and the song "Chasing Dreams" just now is one of them."

After confirming the songs to be included, Liu Hao's life suddenly became busy.In addition to the song "Dream Chaser" to be recorded, he has to discuss with the staff how to arrange other songs selected for the album and other details.

Especially in the arrangement of "Dream Chaser", the help they provided fully showed the rock style of the song, which was basically consistent with the original style.

During these days when they were in full swing composing songs, Xiangjiang's singles list was also very lively. Although the ranking of "Dream Chaser" has dropped, it is still at the top of the list.

At this time, both the media and fans' curiosity about Liu Hao reached its peak.Lou Xiaowei took this opportunity to inform the major media that Taoli Entertainment was about to release Liu Hao's second single.

Liu Hao has never made public appearances in the media. The very few photos were taken at the concert, but his face was a little dull. Although some people expressed incomprehension or even criticism, most of the fans still Relatively tolerant.

Where there is controversy, there is topic, which is another wave of publicity invisibly.

Tao Li Entertainment, which has tasted the sweetness, still did not release Liu Hao's portrait this time, so that when the media reported this incident, they used silhouettes of people as photos.

When the outside world was shocked by the big news released by Lou Xiaowei, the production of the accompaniment tape for Liu Hao's new song also came to an end.One of the most noteworthy things is that when recording the accompaniment tape of "Dream Chaser", because the band provided by the company could not play the strong rock style of this song.

Just when Liu Hao was a little troubled, Wenna Band, who was busy preparing for the new album, gave Liu Hao a big gift—they recorded the accompaniment in the recording studio when they were busy, which is definitely a great favor.

Of course, this is also related to the help Liu Hao gave them before - before Liu Hao left Hong Kong last time, he left them a song "Nothing", which was a huge success after the performance... This song The song can be said to be an iconic work of Chinese pop music, and it is normal to achieve good results.

The accompaniment tape was completed, and recording in the studio was also put on the agenda.

The recording location is still in the company's recording studio, which is now the most upscale recording studio in Xiangjiang. Many music companies and singers outside the company pay to rent Taoli's recording studio.

Although the workload in the recording studio is heavy, in order to accommodate Liu Hao's time, after adjustments, Liu Hao still quickly scheduled the recording time.

With the experience of recording "Dream Chaser", Liu Hao quickly entered the state, the whole recording process went very smoothly, and the time passed in a busy and fulfilling work.

He entered the recording studio at 10 o'clock in the evening, and before he knew it, it was almost 12 o'clock. When Liu Hao was discussing the recording part of the song with producer Du Yinghua in front of the console, there was a light knock on the door of the control room. up.

"Come in," Du Yinghua said.

With the clicking sound of the door lock turning, a clear voice sounded softly: "Good evening, Teacher Du."

Liu Hao looked over subconsciously.

The woman standing at the door was wearing a loose light blue dress, the cuffs were rolled up casually, revealing her graceful forearms, her long hair was draped behind her head like a waterfall, her fair face was painted with light makeup, and she wore earrings Wearing a pair of pearl earrings.There was a faint smile on the woman's face. Under the soft light, that figure was as quiet as a painting. Liu Hao, who almost called out the woman's name, seemed to have his throat blocked suddenly, unable to utter any sound.

It was Du Lisha who won awards with three English albums in the first Xiangjiang Golden Disc Awards held not long ago.

Du Lisha was born in a musical family, and she is of Chinese-Filipino descent. She made her debut earlier, but she made her debut in Japan. Liu Hao did not expect her to appear in Xiangjiang, which really surprised him.Historically, she only released her first Cantonese album in the early 80s. Could there be a change at this time?

"Who is this?"

Noticing Liu Hao's overly concerned gaze, Du Lisha turned her head slightly, and when she was sure that there was nothing wrong with the young man looking at him with piercing eyes, she asked Ming Du Yinghua.

"This is Liu Hao who sang "Dream Chaser". Don't you always want to see a real person?" Du Yinghua laughed.

"You are Liu Hao?"

Du Lisha looked at Liu Hao curiously, "You are so young."

"Miss Du Lisha, are you not too old?"

The corner of Liu Hao's mouth twitched slightly, showing a smile: "I remember you are only 20 years old, right?"

Du Lisha frowned deliberately: "You are not a gentleman enough, you shouldn't say a girl's age casually."

"I apologize, I just finished recording, if I don't delay you, can I ask you to have supper to make amends?" Liu Hao immediately hit the snake with the stick.

"I accept, please send it to me later." Du Lisha smiled sweetly.

She also came to record today, but it was in another recording studio. This is because I heard that Du Yinghua is still working. They had some intersections before, so they came here specially. What I didn't expect was that they were with "Dream Chaser" Singers meet unexpectedly.

When she was talking to Du Yinghua, Liu Hao had already sent Lin Xiaobang out, and then came back to join the conversation between the two.Only then did he know that Du Lisha had recorded an English song in the recording studio of Taoli Entertainment last year, and this could be regarded as the continuation of the relationship between the two parties.
