When Yang Dongxu was discussing with Li Zongsheng, Andy Lau opened the door and walked in. In addition to the new album, he also had to prepare for his own concert in the new year. Although he had done some promotion in the mainland before, he also accepted several commercial performances.
But this was the first time to hold a concert, so both he and Heiner Records paid great attention to this matter. When Yang Dongxu came, he was discussing this matter in Fu Decai's office. I didn't hear Yang Dongxu coming, and I didn't talk about the things over there. He and Fu Decai both came over.
"Haha, Andy is even more handsome." Yang Dongxu greeted Andy Lau with a smile.
"I feel the same way." Andy Lau replied with a smile. As the two parties became more and more familiar with each other, Andy Lau, who originally didn't have the airs of a big star, often joked.
"How are the preparations for the concert going?"
"I'm almost ready by then, but after all, it's my first concert in the Mainland and it hasn't even started yet, so I'm a little nervous now." He attaches great importance to this concert, even though his career has come out of its trough. But this was his first show after all. Even if it was on his big boss's territory, he still felt a little uneasy with the big boss's backing.
"Don't be so nervous. You have attended the Spring Festival Gala after all, and you are also a Hong Kong and Taiwan star. There is no doubt about your appeal." Although Yang Dongxu does not have any regional discrimination, he has to say that at this time, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are indeed better than mainland stars. To be a higher level, who said that both Hong Kong and Taiwan are more developed than the mainland now.
"I'm afraid that my performance is not good enough and I will disappoint the fans." Although Andy Lau is worried about the audience, he is not the most worried. He is still somewhat confident in his appeal. What he is worried about is whether he can handle such a big concert. Live.
"Don't worry, I will ask Wu Qi to go to the platform for you when the time comes. Invite as many friends as you can from Hong Kong. If there are not enough people, I will find someone for you." Not to mention bragging, Yang Dongxu is now in the Hong Kong entertainment industry His appeal is comparable to that of the big guys who have been in Hong Kong for decades.
Ordinary people pursue celebrities, but celebrities need to revolve around big bosses, especially Yang Dongxu, a big boss who has great talent and can turn stones into gold. He is the one they strive to fawn over.
Even if some super-big names don't have to be courteous to Yang Dongxu, they still have to give him some face whenever he opens his mouth. After all, the current Haina is not the mud-legged company that was just established a few years ago. As the saying goes, everyone is carrying the sedan chair. Help Yang Dongxu at this time. If there is an opportunity to cooperate in the future, both parties can win-win.
"That's enough, that's enough, no need to invite me." Andy Lau said quickly.
He is very popular in the entertainment industry, so when it comes to finding people to support, his own circle of friends is almost enough. Even if there are some big names whose words he does not have enough weight, there is still Haina Company here.
And there is a skill to inviting people. It’s not that the bigger the wrist, the better. The purpose of inviting people to stand on the stage is to increase the quality of the concert and add to the atmosphere, which means it can give fans a little surprise. But if you invite a super big name to come over and your own fame cannot suppress it, the surprise will be a surprise. But then will it be your concert or someone else’s concert?
"Is there anything you need my help with?" After asking around, I found that Andy Lau was just nervous. He had already prepared all the things he needed to prepare. As a boss, it seemed that he didn't have to do anything. Yang Dongxu felt a little embarrassed. nose.
"It's true. In this concert, I will sing one or two songs from the new album to build momentum, but my eldest brother seems to be a little dissatisfied with the songs in the album." Andy Lau looked at Yang Dongxu with some longing.
In the past two years, Yang Dongxu has written fewer and fewer songs. Ever since the recruitment war broke out with Fei Shi, Yang Dongxu has basically not written new songs. Even Wu Qi's album was written by other writers in the company.
So many outsiders have been talking about it recently. Some people say that Xiaoxu has run out of skills, which is why he hasn't had a new song for so long. Others think that the reason why Xiaoxu hasn't released a new song for so long is because he is busy with movies.
Four movies were released in four months, which averages out to one movie a month, and each movie has a box office of more than 10 million. Such a feat is beyond the reach of even those famous Hong Kong and Taiwan directors.
However, it is a fact that no new songs have been released in several months. It stands to reason that if a songwriter can hold back one big hit in a year, then he is considered talented. After all, classics are not so easy to appear. If classics can be found casually, then Is it still called a classic?
But Yang Dongxu's incredible talent since his debut seems to have swayed the public's tastes. Not being able to produce a good song for a year and a half would be normal for other songwriters, but a little abnormal for him.
"Let's go to the recording studio to write down the score and get the soundtrack first." Yang Dongxu said.
Andy Lau was stunned for a moment and then a surprised smile appeared on his face. Although Yang Dongxu might have a new song for him when he came over now, he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he got the exact answer.
As soon as he lifted his steps and walked forward, Yang Dongxu thought of something and Fu Decai said: "Compile the information of all the artists in the record department, including the newcomers."
"What are you..." Fu Decai didn't guess Yang Dongxu's intention for a while.
"Everyone is joining forces to suppress us. We can't just sit back and wait for death, right? Rather than just waiting to see what happens, I prefer to take the initiative." A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Yang Dongxu's mouth.
The cooperation of several major record companies gave Yang Dongxu a sense of crisis. What's more important is that with so many major record companies joining forces, the classic songs he knows may soon be released.
There is no need to expire and invalidate songs, so Yang Dongxu decided to make another big explosion and take out all the songs that may be scrapped as soon as possible. This way, he can not only defeat his opponents but also strengthen himself, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Yang Dongxu and others walked into the recording studio, and the news that the big boss wrote the songs himself spread in the company. Many people were envious, jealous, and secretly lamented why the big boss hadn't taken a liking to them yet.
But while they were disappointed, another news immediately cheered these people up. The big boss was actually going to produce the record himself, and even the newcomers in the company were involved. Does that mean that he had a chance to become famous with one song?
As a result, the gossip spread instantly, causing many record department artists who got the news to rush to the company. Although it is suspected that the big boss will cast a large net this time, but there is a sequence in the timing of casting the net, right?
Yang Dongxu didn't know that all the artists in the record department had taken action because of his decision, and Fu Decai, who released the little news, didn't pay attention to it. After all, it would be good for everyone to occasionally mobilize the enthusiasm of the company's artists.
Therefore, the turmoil outside has not affected the atmosphere among the recording engineers. Compared with the previous recording engineers, the recording studio of Heiner Records is now larger and more professional. To start a band, you no longer have to go to school to find connections. When you get it together.
So it didn’t take more than a few minutes after the music score came out. The band, all veterans, played the score. Although there were some flaws in the coordination, it was basically usable.
Yang Dongxu originally prepared a title song "Destiny in the Next Life" for Andy Lau, but now he directly produced two songs due to different circumstances. However, the original Mandarin version of "The Next Life" was no longer sung in Mandarin, but became Cantonese, so the song title of "The Next Life" was changed to "The Days We Walked Together".
The second song Yang Dongxu played was "Today". Both "The Days We Walked Together" and "Today" are classic songs. However, Yang Dongxu felt that "Today" was better than "The Days We Walked Together", so he put it It positions the title song of Andy Lau's album.
While the band was working on the soundtrack, Andy Lau was already holding the sheet music and starting to get a feel for it. The band was almost getting used to it, and he started singing along with the music to get familiar with it.
After singing the first song, the eyes of everyone in the recording studio suddenly lit up. They all said that they were shocked when compared with "The Days We Walked Together". Li Zongsheng originally thought that the other songs in the album were okay. , the more I look at it, the more unpleasant it becomes.
"Second song, try the second song." Andy Lau had just finished singing "Days We Walked Together" and Li Zongsheng couldn't wait to listen to the second song "Today".
The second song, Yang Dongxu just said, is the title song of this album, and it is obviously of better quality than "Days We Walked Together". Li Zongsheng would always feel uncomfortable if he didn't listen to good music immediately.
"I'm not familiar with the second song yet." Andy Lau said with a smile when he saw Li Zongsheng's appearance. He didn't expect that Brother Li, who has always been strict and stubborn, can also be so cute sometimes.
"Where's the score?" He was just studying the first song, and wanted to see if Yang Dongxu, the creator, could record it to get his opinion, but he hadn't had time to read the second song yet.
Seeing Li Zongsheng looking around anxiously for the score of the second song, the drummer in the band couldn't help but remind him in a low voice: "Teacher Li's score is in your hand."
"Ah?" Li Zongsheng was stunned for a moment, and then he took out the sheet music in his hand without blushing and looked at it carefully.
Seeing Li Zongsheng's serious look, people in the recording studio didn't dare to take a breath for fear of disturbing him. After about five or six minutes, Li Zongsheng hummed a few lines along with the score, his eyes sparkling, "Don't worry about that song for now, just put this After getting familiar with the song, let’s record this song first.”
When he said this, Li Zongsheng had a little tangle on his face. A meat lover placed braised pork on one side and sweet and sour pork ribs on the other. He didn't know which one to eat first, but he had already smelled the braised pork, so Let’s eat sweet and sour pork ribs now.
Li Zongsheng was the absolute authority in the recording studio, so he said that the second song should be recorded first and no one else had any objections. Those who practiced the music notation were familiar with the lyrics and were familiar with the lyrics to prepare for the recording.
Yang Dongxu sat aside and kept the pen in his hand. When he was looking for songs for Andy Lau, he flipped through a lot of songs in the big notebook in the courtyard.
Although he rarely comes to the company, some of the company's artists are recruited by him because he is optimistic about their virtuous talents, or he has poached them, so he has a rough idea of the characteristics of these people. Now that I've decided to 'explode' again, it's time to get into work mode.
