Hong Kong Entertainment's Life Simulator

Chapter 68 Is he too esoteric?
In the dark of night, Ah Zha was driving a taxi by the side of the road outside a nightclub, flicking the car radio when he was bored.

When a certain radio station came, "here is six and a half beers..."

Hong Kong Island Commercial Radio has been on the air since 1959 and has always been popular with Hong Kong residents. Among them, Thunder 881 is also an old channel that has been on the air for more than 20 years. It is the radio station with the largest number of listeners in Hong Kong.

The six-and-a-half group has been famous since the 70s. Among them, Yu Teng, Shi Nansheng, Lin Yanni, etc. are also known as talented women of Hong Kong Island, corresponding to the male version of several great talents.

Because of her erudition, talent and sharp eloquence, she has been very popular since she hosted Six Beer and a Half. In the past, Ah Zha liked to listen to the programs hosted by her the most.

It's a pity that Yu Cheng left the commercial radio station last year and went to TVB.

However, after hearing the familiar sound of the program, Ah Zha still fixed the channel, intending to listen to the music and relax.

After a few tens of seconds, when accompanied by the introduction of the disc jockey (DJ), an English song that Aja found a bit strange accompanied the music.

Ah Zha couldn't help frowning and patted the direction of the car radio, "Diao Mao, why did Liu Beer and a Half play English songs? This is not open-minded 864!"

Leiting 881, a commercial station, has always broadcast Cantonese programs, while Kaida 864 is the English channel.

Even if it is singing, generally 881 will play local songs, and 864 will play English songs.

Don't think that because he is often beaten by Brother Huai, his brain is so funny?He could still tell the difference.

Cursing is not cursing, but the melodious melody is accompanied by lyrics such as "You are My fire" and "The one Desire Believe".

Ah Zha's hand that was about to tune the channel also paused.

Is this song okay?Then listen to it for a while?
"That I want it that way"

"Tell me why"

(Aint nothin but a heartache)

……

The melody of the song and the English lyrics that Ah Jag couldn't understand at all fluttered out. Even if he couldn't understand, it didn't prevent Ah Jah from shaking his legs slightly.

Thinking back when he was learning English at school, he always felt drowsy when he started reciting and reading aloud, but with the tunes in front of him, he actually felt that it was okay, and he didn't feel sleepy anymore.

Listening, Ah Jag didn't notice a ghost walking out of the nightclub, walking towards his taxi with his arms around a dancing girl.

When Gui Lao knocked on the car windshield, Ah Zha took a look and waved his hand, "There is someone."

While talking, he also turned the sign of the empty car into a guest. It's not that he has money and doesn't want to make money, but that the two guys smell too much alcohol, and he is afraid that the other party will spit in the car on the road.

It is said that waiting for a taxi to pick up passengers outside a nightclub in the middle of the night must keep your eyes open. If you are unlucky and drag drunk customers who spit in your car every day, the money you earn is not enough to make you sick.

He hadn't noticed these two before, but after a quick glance, he knew they were pretty good.

When he continued to listen to the song, the ghost and the dancing girl did not leave, but leaned on the body of his taxi and stood still.

After a song was played, when the Cantonese voice of a disc jockey sounded on the radio, the ghost suddenly yelled, "This song is not bad. I feel like I can sing soon after listening to it casually."

He spoke English, which Ah Jag couldn't understand, and neither could the dancing girl. The next moment, Gui Lao said in Cantonese so poor that it was almost indistinguishable, "What song is this?"

Aza looked at each other blankly.

Gui Lao took out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it to Ah Zha, "What song?"

The dancing girls all complained in a daze, "Boss, what song are you asking, are you deaf?"

Ah Jag's eyes lit up, he put away the hundred-dollar bills, and laughed, "What the hell?? It should be the title of this song, open-minded 864."

"Bad girl, be careful of being crushed by ghosts."

He also said the first few words very lamely, intentionally making people confused and incomprehensible, he told the two of them to back off while laughing, and Ah Zai took the money and started the car and ran away.

After he drove the car for more than 100 meters, he saw through the rear-view mirror that the ghost went back to the nightclub with the dancing girl. He didn't come to chase his taxi, or take another taxi to leave.

Ah Zha scratched his head, what the hell?What I said was too profound, didn't the two drunks understand?But one hundred yuan arrives in the account, which is a good thing.

…………

New day afternoon.

When Ah Zha woke up, he scratched his head and walked out of the bedroom, took a look at the empty and untidy living room, and then looked at Director Zhao's room where the door was still locked.

Ah Zha muttered depressingly, Brother Huai hadn't lived in this house for so long, and the first few big guys who came here hadn't lived here for a long time either.

Is it time for him to find a new roommate?Logically speaking, they should be recruiting two, after all, this is three bedrooms and one living room.

Now he pays all the rent alone, which is a bit stressful.

But Zhao Donghuai didn't say to move away, there were not many things left, but he really didn't say to go, what if he recruited people back and was trained again?
Well, don't think too much about it, just find something to eat first.

When he walked down the stairs slowly and walked along the broadcasting road, he suddenly heard a familiar melody of music. It was an English song being played in a video store on the street.

Feeling that the lyrics of the song were a bit familiar, Ah Zha didn't think too much about it. Listening to the song is not as important as filling his stomach. Anyway, he doesn't like English.

What made Ah Zha speechless was that in the next few days, he heard a certain song more and more frequently. Whether he was walking on the street, video stores or mall TVs, he would often play a certain song.

The various channels on the taxi, not only the Cantonese program Leiting 881, but also the open-minded 864 that fooled the ghosts that night began to frequently play a certain song.

He was almost able to hum a few times after the broadcast.

………………

Huaxing Records Headquarters.

Zhang Guorong was still getting familiar with the new song, when Li Xiaotian pushed open the door and rushed in, hugging Ah Rong excitedly, "Ten Boy, you're going to be hot! You're really going to be a big hit this time!"

"I Want It That Way not only has a high radio demand rate, but also rave reviews. Its most popular is still in the ghost community. Dozens or more people call to order this song almost every day on Kaida 864 .”

Li Xiaotian is Zhang Guorong's mentor. Before switching from Lai's to Wireless, and joining Huaxing, he followed Li Xiaotian.

The wind that made Zhang Guorong's early fame continue to blow, and it was all created by Li Xiaotian and a group of other musicians.

Accompanied by Li Xiaotian's excited words, Zhang Guorong was also a little excited, but still smiled, "Thanks to Director Zhao's good song, fortunately, Hua Xing didn't stick to the original strategy and let me post this song, otherwise it would really be..."

As one of the largest record companies in Hong Kong, Huaxing has a strange strategy in the 80s when it competes with Warner and Polygram.

Generally, Huaxing only favors newcomers, and does not sign contracts to recruit big-name singers. Zhang Guorong, Mei Yanfang, and even Andy Lau, etc., are all Huaxing who signed contracts from obscurity and became popular... Then the superstars switched jobs, almost in line with TVB.

Secondly, Huaxing only releases Cantonese albums, and rarely even releases Mandarin albums, let alone English songs.

In addition, Huaxing has a great influence in Hong Kong Island, backed by the big tree of TVB, relying on singing competitions to continuously dig out new artificial stars, but in Wanwan, island countries, and even Europe and the United States, it has almost no influence.

If they want their singers to leave Hong Kong Island and go to other regions and countries, basically they can only cooperate with other groups.

Backstreet Boys' masterpiece, Zhang Guorong just brought it back for rehearsal, when he was looking for a band, and invited musicians to listen to it, other than Li Xiaotian, there were also some people who objected. Generally, Huaxing does not release songs other than Cantonese songs.

In the end, the trouble came to Fang Yihua, who was once a famous singer in Nanyang, Fang Yihua felt that this song had the hope of becoming a big hit, and Arong would become famous in Niubuluo or Amei, so she decided to support it.

Now the single is released first, and the company also created momentum at the beginning, and spent some publicity and distribution fees, but no one is sure whether it will become popular or not.

Fortunately, the response after the initial release was good.There is nothing wrong with it, just listening to the music, you can't tell if it is a white Chinese... After all, Ah Rong has studied in England and sang English songs for many years.
