1979 Golden Age

Simple residence.

Zhou Min sat obediently on the side, listening to a guy trying to persuade her mother: "It's just to use the summer vacation to participate in a TV show, it won't delay any studies, and the feature of our program is that relatives and friends are accompanied, and you will accompany her then.

If the recording is too late, we will arrange a car to take everyone home, so there is no need to worry at all."

Her mother, like Li Jiaxin's mother, is from Shanghai. She used to be rich. Although she is tired of life and looks old, she speaks very tough: "I am really very grateful for your repeated invitations for my daughter, but this is not about money or safety.

I want to train her to go to college, and I don't want to get involved in TV or movies, so please go back."

The visitor persuaded her again, and seeing that her mother was unmoved, he had to say goodbye. Before leaving, he whispered to Zhou Huimin who sent her to the door, and then went downstairs.

Most stars cannot be judged by appearance. The public's stereotype of Zhou Huimin is that she is a jade girl, pure and beautiful, gentle, and delicate. In fact, she was also a child king when she was a child. She has a very tough personality and is very opinionated.

The term "stamp collecting" in later generations originated from an interview with Sandra Ng, who said that there was a female star who loved stamp collecting and collected three of the four kings. Whether it was Jay Chou or not, there is no solid evidence, so we will not discuss it here.

Let's just say that she went into the house to do some homework, saw her mother preparing to cook, went to the kitchen to look, and found a reason: "Mom, I'm going to buy some soy sauce?" "Well, come back soon."

She took the change and went out, and when she got downstairs, she looked around. Sure enough, the staff member was waiting. "I'm sorry, you've come so many times, but I can't persuade my mother."

"It doesn't matter, I just ask you, do you want to participate?" "Of course I want to, but unfortunately I can't."

The adolescent girl who was strictly disciplined is always rebellious in her bones. She has always been keen on singing. She participated in campus competitions at school, hoping to stand on a bigger stage. "There is a way, you can do it first and then report it."

"Ah? You mean to participate in the competition without telling my mother, she will beat me to death!" Zhou Huimin shook her head repeatedly.

"Your mother naturally loves you, but I think there may be a lack of communication between you. We can let you stand on the stage and open your heart, express your feelings for your mother, and say what you have hidden in your heart. What a great opportunity!

"But, but..."

"Do you want to help your mother reduce the burden and supplement the family expenses? "Of course!"

"Then why does your mother always oppose it? Because you have no grades, why don't you have grades? Because you have never crossed this threshold, you haven't even taken the first step, and you told your mother that I want to make money and let you live a good life... Please, my mother will not agree!"

The other party babble UFO, and finally said: "Recording the program will only take up one day of your time, you can always spare it, right? Come to me as soon as you figure it out!" He left.

Zhou Ximin stood there for a while, and hurried to buy soy sauce. (She probably looks like this now, as shown in the picture)

81 Broadcast Road, ATV Building

Accompanied by Li Zhuanglie, Chen Qi walked through the lobby and entered the maze-like interior. The studios of different sizes were irregularly distributed. The smallest was 2,700 square feet, about 250 square meters.

The largest was 1,600 square meters and could accommodate 600 people.

In Hong Kong, it can be said to be a grand hall. TVB also has one. Apart from anything else, the annual anniversary celebration must be grand, and the venue cannot be too shabby. Chen Qi looked around and said disdainfully: "Is this your largest studio? It's only twice as big as my yard."

"I know your yard is 9,000 square feet, so you don't have to show off all the time, right?"

"You have 9,000 square feet, so you can show off."

He stood on the stage and walked down a passage that extended to the auditorium. There were four red chairs there. He pressed a button and the chairs turned around. He said happily: "It's quite sensitive. Where did you buy it?"

"It was custom-made in Guangdong. Four chairs cost 10,000 Hong Kong dollars." "Reply!"

"Is this expensive?"

"I'll negotiate. A chair costs 300 yuan. But there are factories that earn foreign exchange over there. Just consider it a contribution."

Chen Qi simply sat on the chair. It was not made of real leather, but it was very comfortable. He played with it and turned around like a human sushi. Li Zhuanglie gestured to the staff to cut off the power!

"How much material have you recorded?"

"Enough for two episodes, but lacking highlights."

"It's okay, I'm back and there are highlights. Are the four judges emotional?"

"Except for complaining about the long recording time, there is no emotion...Oh, by the way, Kenny Bee is one of us. The four judges: James Wong, Kenny Bee, Teresa Teng, and Yip Chun Tong.

Except for Wong Lu, the other three are just okay. It's not that we don't want to invite big names, but they are either too expensive or not suitable. For example, Roman Tam has a contract with Huaxing Records, which is owned by TVB, so he definitely can't come to ATV to do a show.

Wong also has a contract with TVB, but it's a contract for writing lyrics for songs. He is very free and often jumps between the two TV stations, and he has to greet them with a smile. The secret of the Voice of China program lies in internal operations.

The judges have their own personalities and styles, and they may not be willing to cooperate. Among the four, at least one must be "one of us" and willing to cooperate, that is, Kenny Bee. He is the lead singer of the Wynners and has considerable musical achievements, but he is habitually ignored.

Teng Lisha sang English songs in the 1970s. After the rise of Cantonese songs, she also began to release Cantonese albums. Later, she became a teacher to a large number of singers and was called the godmother of music. Ye Zhentang mainly sang TV drama theme songs. "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" was sung by him.

The contracts of these two people are both with EMI Records, so they are willing to come and are relatively willing to cooperate. Huang Zhan refused to cooperate.

"Director Li, the audience is coming!" "Yes, I know!"

The staff reminded them and they ran to the director's room. Chen Qi didn't want to show up for the time being. "The Voice of Asia" is a program jointly produced by ATV and EMI's subsidiary, and has nothing to do with him.

He watched the audience enter the venue, the four judges took their seats, and the contestants took their positions. Sandy Lam came out first.

She is 17 years old and looks like Stuart Little, more Japanese. In fact, her overall style is okay, but her eyes are too small, so she has to wear makeup. She actually sang a song "Assorted Vegetables" by Carpenter.

Chen Qi suddenly thought of Zhang Qiang from the mainland.

"She signed a record company and works as a part-time DJ at a radio station. She hasn't released an album yet, so it's amazing." Li Zhuanglie said. "I will poach her and take advantage of the opportunity."

"Do you think highly of this girl?"

"She's not bad, she has some unique features, and she can become a queen if she's trained."

"I think she's just average, but she has a classmate who's really good, and has a very clean voice, her name is Priscilla Chan."

"Well, she's also mine."

"???

Li Zhuanglie also glanced at him and suddenly discovered a problem: Why does he always recruit young girls? Either underage or 17 or 18 years old.
