1979 Golden Age

boom!

After more than an hour's flight, a flight back from Hong Kong landed at Taiwan's Chiang Kai-Shek Airport, which was later changed to Taoyuan International Airport. Luo Dayou and Fei Xiang were on the same flight, but they were not familiar with each other, so they greeted each other and got on the bus.

The weather in October is still warm and spring flowers are blooming in Taiwan. During this period, ten major construction projects have been completed, and the level of all aspects is improving. Together with Hong Kong, it is in the period of rapid development of the Four Tigers.

It is 40 kilometers from the airport to Taipei. The staff of Rolling Stone Records kept reminding them in the car: "Don't say a word! We have never met anyone. We just came back after attending the event."

"Are you annoyed? I've told you this eight hundred times!"

"I'm doing it for our own good. If it's leaked out, even I will be dead!" "I know, I know, don't say it!"

Luo Dayou was very impatient, and at the same time felt ridiculous that the other party was so afraid. What was he afraid of? Afraid of mainland personnel, maybe, but more afraid of being blocked by our own people. "This is a terrible place!"

He looked out the window and remembered what Chen Qi said about Hong Kong's royalty system. He felt that it was really good. The car was driving leisurely, and he was feeling unhappy as the wind blew. Inspiration came to his mind, as if a melody was about to blurt out.

The next second!

"Fuck you! Can you drive?" "Can you drive?" "You blind thing!"

The shaking caused by the sudden braking directly shattered his inspiration. His face darkened when he saw the staff member sticking his head out of the window and scolding the driver of another car, as if he was about to rush out and fight.

Luo Dayou didn't want to waste time, so he had to persuade: "Okay, okay, it's important to go back!"

"Consider him lucky! He was obviously driving erratically, but a few years ago he met an American soldier and shot him to death. He wouldn't be able to get a dime in compensation!" The staff member said with a very strange mentality. Got this sentence.

After the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the U.S. military withdrew from Taiwan. Taiwanese people were happy and panicked. They were happy that there were no more soldiers, but they were scared that they had lost the sense of security of being protected by their father. "."

Luo Dayou didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only shake his head, "This is a terrible place!" On the other side. Fei Xiang returned home and immediately told his mother Bi Lina.

Hua Lina couldn't believe it and asked repeatedly: "Are you serious? You will really help us find our relatives? What is that person's identity? Can he find him?"

"He is very famous in Hong Kong. He is an official from the mainland. I told you some information about grandma, but I don't know your previous address in Beijing. Do you still remember it?" "Of course I remember it, I... forget it. , it’s useless now.”

Bi Lina's eyes were red and she choked with sobs: "I have been trying to find her for so many years, but I have been unable to find her. I don't even know if your grandma is still alive. Maybe she thought I was dead long ago?"

Fei Xiang naturally comforted him.

After a long time, Bi Lina regained her mood and asked, "Then what do you think about going to the mainland for development?"

"I haven't thought about it. I don't know if it's suitable to go there. Mr. Chen asked me to record a song and play it on mainland radio stations. I think this is a good idea and I have already agreed."

"You're an American citizen, so it's easy to come and go, so I'm not worried about that. You also have a career in Taiwan, so you have to think about it yourself. What songs do you want to record?"

"I don't have a clue. I'll go to the company later and have a look." After the mother and son finished talking, Fei Xiang went to rest.

In the afternoon, he went out to the company. As he was leaving, he saw his mother sitting in her small room, flipping through the photo album over and over again. Those were all photos of her when she was young.

"She was only 17 or 18 years old when she came here, and she hadn't been home for more than 30 years... Fei Xiang sighed and drove to EMI.

At this stage, EMI has little influence in Hong Kong and Taiwan. There are numerous large and small music studios and record companies in both places. This is the prelude to the boom of the Chinese music scene. He looked around the company and couldn't figure out where to start.

Chen Qi said that love should not be sentimental, it should be fresh and natural, and it is best to have feelings about family and country.

I have released four albums, none of which contain feelings about family and country, but there are a few songs with a fresh style. But he himself doesn't like it, and his level is mediocre, otherwise he wouldn't be worried about whether to go to the mainland.

"Eh? Fei Xiang, why are you here?"

While he was hesitating, a middle-aged man with long hair led a young man over.

The middle-aged man is Tan Jianchang, a famous musician, and his wife is Xiaoxuan. One writes lyrics and the other writes music. They have created many good songs, such as "Light Rain in March", "Dream of Camel Bells" and "I Quietly Cover Up". Your Eyes" and so on.

Fei Xiang's "Landering" was also written by someone else.

"Teacher Tan, I just came from Hong Kong to attend an event and came to the company for a visit." "Oh, come on, let me introduce you!"

Tan Jianchang pointed at the young man and said with a smile: "The newly signed singer from EMI, named Wen Zhang, is here to record a song today." Hello, hello!

The two shook hands and chatted. They were of average age, both 23 years old.

The article is an Indonesian overseas Chinese who later moved to Singapore and studied in Canada. When he returned to Singapore to visit relatives this year, he met a staff member from EMI and recommended him to the company. Younger people don’t know this person anymore.

He stayed in Taiwan to develop and appeared on the Spring Festival Gala in 1990. He was one of the first Taiwanese singers to perform in mainland China and became popular for a while. Later, we held family activities in China across the Taiwan Strait and three places, and he was often invited to sing.

At this time, Wen Zhang is preparing for his debut album.

Tan Jianchang has already written two songs for him, one is called "Clouds in Hometown" and the other is called "365 Miles". They went to record songs, and Fei Xiang listened for a while, feeling quite depressed.

These two songs 100% meet Chen Qi’s requirements, but! It just happened to be someone else’s. Then sing it yourself? Come on, I haven’t released an album yet, how can I grab songs? In the end, he chose some of his own songs.

"The sea and sky are vast, and the world is free for me to fly, over thousands of mountains, and then across seven oceans!" A few days later, Fei Xiang came to Hong Kong alone.

Chen Qi didn't let him go to the set and went to the hotel to meet him. Fei Xiang actively took out a few songs and demonstrated them one by one. The last song was called "Broad Sea and Sky", a song from the latest album.

“Bah bang bang!

After hearing this, Chen Qi politely asked, "Is there anything else?"

"No, these don't involve love, they are relatively fresh and natural."

"I evaluate it objectively. Don't mind it. It feels a little bit worse. It's not the kind that makes people wow."

"It doesn't matter, I think it's just okay myself, but I only have these songs." Fei Xiang was helpless.

"Are there other singers' works? Is there anything suitable that I can cover?"

"Indeed, there is a newcomer in the same company. He has two very good songs, but he hasn't released an album yet, so I can't steal the songs..."

Fei Xiang said and started singing: "Come back, come back, wandering wanderer. This song is called "Clouds of Hometown". I only remember this sentence." "Three hundred and sixty-five miles, across spring and summer Autumn and winter... I only remember one sentence, called "365 Miles"!

He looked very regretful and didn't pay attention to Chen Qi, who was pissed all over his face. Book that!

Why is it already there?

He wanted Fei Xiang to attend the Spring Festival Gala, and of course he had to sing "Clouds from Hometown". A Chinese-American from Taiwan sings Come Back, Come Back

Come on...how politically correct is that? If the song didn’t exist yet, I would just copy it.

But it already exists, and Fei Xiang has heard of it, so that’s a bit embarrassing!

The gap between the creation time and release time of literary and artistic works may be very short, or it may be very long. Chen Qi has always tried his best to choose works from a later date, just to avoid a collision, but he did not expect a collision.

"Listening to you singing these two lines, it must be a good song, and the theme fits it very well. We can talk about it."

"I don't think there's much hope. This is an album specially created for newcomers. Normally I don't give songs to others. I'll look for someone else."

Song? Fei Xiang said. "No, no, you don't have to worry about this matter. I'll handle it." "

Chen Qi comforted him and said: "Anyway, I want to say hello to the Taiwanese music scene!" (Posted...will be added tomorrow)
