Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 5

The next week was a very busy week for Luo Junyan.

Luo Meizi’s feeling is: The younger brother started to practice qi by hanging his voice, and pestering her to correct the intonation.

Shaw’s feeling is: a kid who didn’t know the heights of the sky actually proposed to set a good salary before signing the contract, and he was always kind, humble and moderate.

The feeling of everyone on the Qingshuiwan studio is that there is a pretty girl who failed the first test. She has passed the theoretical teaching of the first half of the artist training class and started the practical learning in the second half of the year.

Sister Army’s feeling is: every other day there will be a singer who has signed an agent contract waiting at the door of the TVB building, and then sings Xu Guanjie’s “Deed” and Xu Xiaofeng’s “Wind and Rain” for her in the car, and then gets rubbed. Go home for dinner.

The feeling of TVB’s rumor staff is: You have a small reputation anyway, why don’t you care about the scandal so much?

The feelings of Ge Zhi, Ge Chang, and Sister Shi who are preparing for the start of the artist training class are: After two small gatherings convener Luo Junyan’s description, they found that running a dragon is so promising.

Tiantian Daily’s entertainment reporter Huang Jiadong’s feeling is: Although the article related to the artist training class has been removed, the protagonist of the article has already started to contribute a large number of articles to him. The daily descriptions of some celebrities are relatively fresh, and submissions naturally cannot be adopted, but the celebrities sit and lie, eat and drink Lazar’s anecdote, so he can’t stop, so he has to pay a modest contribution fee out of his own pocket.

Brother Cheng felt that he was completely trapped by his own students.

It is unrealistic to smuggle back to the mainland. It can also open the net for those who fled Hong Kong, and it does not matter whether they want to sneak into the mainland’s meticulous work. It would be even more embarrassing to try to return as a Hong Kong compatriot in an open and honest manner. You must know that it took less than three days for Cheng to obtain the Hong Kong ID card, and the British Hong Kong government would doubt his motives. So Brother Cheng could only learn the vernacular while gritting his teeth, while following Luo Junyan to the set to guide the distribution of lunch.

In just one week, Luo Junyan had already run 6 times in the “Legend of Chu Liuxiang” crew, and several major star actors introduced him to a dragon role. Sister Zhi likes to touch his skin to feel it; Brother Qiu (not called Qiuguan at this time)’s props can always be handed to him at any time; Sister A likes to be alone, but someone is quietly fanning The fan is also very pleased; Wu Mengda’s card skills are not listened to, the audience is very important; wait.

Brother Cheng has a strong ability to coordinate, which is recognized by all the crews on the set. He was busy with various scheduling tasks, and he had already accepted his fate, until one day he ran into Chow Yun-fat on the set.

That night, Brother Cheng was anxious to pull Luo Junyan into a food stall.

Brother Cheng drank a beer and said, “A Jun, how are you doing singing now?”

Luo Junyan said: “Master, from the breath to the pitch, the tone is absolutely fine. But sister army said that my voice is rather special, and there is a bit of female voice from beginning to end, and it’s more obvious when it comes to the high pitch. I continue to practice my vocalization skills and try to make up for this shortcoming. My sister said that she is actually quite recognizable. Master, or I will sing you a song to listen to?”

Brother Cheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, “How far has the matter of finding someone to create a new song progressed?”

Luo Junyan said: “This is difficult. Sister Army took me to China Star Records to audition, which belongs to TVB, but there is no one who writes lyrics and composes in the company. During the audition, the music producer felt that my voice was very distinctive. The use of breath is very good, saying that it helped me recommend a few songwriters.”

Brother Cheng asked: “Since you are so optimistic about you, why didn’t you sign a contract with you?”

Luo Junyan said: “China Star does not have a singer, nor does it help others to produce records. They only publish TVB records. Sister Army is looking for someone to help in private work.”

Brother Cheng immediately found that something was wrong and asked: “A Jun, where does the money for writing lyrics, composing, recording, publishing, and publicity come from? And what is the position of this lady in the army?”

Luo Junyan patted his forehead and said, “I have already asked all of this. What do you need to make a master tape for recording? It costs 10,000 yuan to reproduce a master tape, and less than 2 yuan to reproduce a film. It’s hard to say that it’s not easy to write lyrics and music. The distribution of China Star is related to channels. If one draws a 10% distribution fee, the promotion will not be done. Sister Army is my agent. I want to talk to her about rake, but she has not agreed.”

Brother Cheng took a sip and said, “Even if 10,000 copies are issued, the cost alone will cost 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. Where do you get the money?”

Luo Junyan said: “Master, I definitely won’t send so many copies at once. It can be produced in batches. Send 1,000 copies first, and then send them after the payment is received. 15,000 yuan is almost enough.”

If Cheng hadn’t met Chow Yun-fat, he would definitely pour a glass of beer over tonight. However, he has already found out that “Shanghai Beach” has not been shot yet. I don’t know which year it was shot, but it must have been two or three years before the 83 shooting. That mind is different.

Brother Cheng said calmly: “A Jun, Master has only 14,000 yuan in his pocket, you know that too. If you are willing to be my net worth, I have to support you.” Then he stretched out his hand to stop Luo Junyan thinking. To be grateful, he continued: “But I also have the conditions. I have to be your agent for 15 years. You don’t need to pay me a salary. We divide the account by five to five, and I take half of the commission.”

Luo Junyan said: “Master, 15 years is too long, right? And I have already talked with sister army, people are so helpful, how to behave like this?”

Brother Cheng said: “A Jun, if you don’t follow the usual path, why do you always have a stereotyped mind? I don’t take care of you personally. I don’t worry. It is a trivial matter to make money or not. If my apprentice is cheated, I won’t have time to cry. And for the first song, I will help you compose lyrics and music. This is the core competitiveness.”

Luo Junyan asked in astonishment: “Master, do you still write lyrics and music?”

Brother Cheng slowly ate a peanut, rolled his small eyes, and said: “Usually hum and hum, just remember something that feels good. It’s not an artistic creation. The main life perceptions at all stages are relatively fragmented. You are perfected. It is said that you do all the lyrics and music by yourself. Don’t mention me, the false name doesn’t make much sense to me.” The last explanation is to wear help when someone comes to ask for advice after becoming famous.

Luo Junyan really had nothing to say, just a word, admiring, and I had to add a sentence, but I didn’t understand it well.

Both the master and the apprentice are serious people, so that night, Brother Cheng wrote and signed the brokerage contract.

The Shanghai Beach theme song has been hummed several times, and the lyrics are neat. After all, Cheng’s former boss must order Shanghai to the beach when he comes to KTV. He is from Shanghai and grew up with Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng when he was young.

Early the next morning, Luo Junyan blocked sister army at the gate of TVB.

Sister Army looked at the agent contract in the car, then looked up at him and asked, “What do you mean by showing it to me?”

Luo Junyan squeezed, and said, “Sister army, I just came to ask for advice. Can the contract be counted if it is not made through a lawyer’s firm?”

Sister Army scolded with a smile: “You are still not a human, even your master is cheating? How can I dare to believe you in the future.” Then she threw the contract back and said: “The contract has not passed through a lawyer’s firm, and your master does not have a broker qualification certificate. Not for you. Is there anything else? I’m going to be late.”

Luo Junyan said: “Sister Army, the song is already well-known, and I will record it after I perfect it. You need to say hello in advance.”

Sister Army asked: “How many songs? Let me listen to them before talking.”

Luo Junyan said: “It’s just one song, but it’s very nice and suitable for me to sing.”

Sister Army widened her eyes and said: “You are crazy, no one in Hong Kong has a single. Do you think it is in the United States?”

Luo Junyan said: “Even if you add a song, it’s at best to make a comparison with this one. It’s better to be sincere. Besides, if you want to be successful, you must not take the usual path. That’s the decision.”

Sister Army thought about the sentence of not taking the usual path. She felt that it was very meaningful, and she didn’t bother anymore. She said: “Whatever you want, it’s easy to make money from recording records anyway, remember to notify me in advance.”

Luo Junyan rushed to the studio non-stop, and it was already more than 8 o’clock in the evening to get home after a tired day.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Dad, the old sister was sitting at the table, Dad was looking attentively with the music he had composed.

“Dad, haven’t rested yet?”

Luo Shaotang put down the score and asked, “You made this?”

Luo Junyan replied solemnly: “I made it. A friend wants to make a record for me, and I will sing this song.”

Luo Shaotang looked at his children and missed his wife again, sighed in his heart, and said: “The lyrics and music are very good, what do you plan to make the soundtrack?”

Luo Meizi stood up and pressed her father’s shoulders, and said, “Dad, this song is full of energy, the words are beautiful, and the soundtrack is not well-written, it’s a pity that you can help Ajun check it out.”

Luo Shaotang said: “You have grown up, and I can’t take care of many things. There are a lot of right and wrong in the entertainment circle, and the limelight is too much to make people jealous. If you want to go this way, just keep a low profile. A Jun, two days later. I’ll take you to visit Uncle Huo, you are far from recording this song. Alright, go to sleep.”

Luo Junyan followed her sister and asked in a low voice: “Sister, what does dad mean? Huo Bolai has invited him many times. Hasn’t he been evasive all the time?”

Luo Meizi pinched his face and said, “Are you stupid? You are a 16-year-old boy who composes and sings. You don’t have to wait for you to get up and get trampled by the big guys in the circle. Anyway, in the past. The visit requires etiquette. Uncle Huo’s father exchanged greetings with his grandfather, so he really wanted to be called Uncle.”

Luo Junyan started, saying: “I don’t know how these are. Bo is very famous in Xiangjiang, and has been a music director at TVB for a few years. I would have asked him to help me make a few songs if I knew it. It’s different like now, and it’s so big. Sister, should we go together? Your voice is so good, I beg Huber to compose some songs for you, and I will record you.”

Luo Meizi squinted at him and said, “Why are you filling a record like filling soda? I don’t know which one has fainted and promised to fill the record for you. If you lose money, don’t let the family catch up to collect the debt, otherwise I can’t spare you.”

Luo Junyan immediately thought of the situation where Sister Army and Brother Cheng came to force their debts. He shook his head to shake off the negative emotions and thought: “Sister Army said that it is easy to make money by recording records. How difficult can it be to get the money out of it.”
