Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 583 Symphony of Lights

Even so, these artists who first achieved success in the Japanese music scene have to enrich themselves in other ways to break through the ensuing bottleneck after the first few years of rising popularity.

Let’s take Chen Meiling as an example. She chose to temporarily quit the entertainment industry and went to Canada to study at the University of Toronto. After her comeback, she also began to expand her career in Xiangjiang.

All in all, the so-called foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures, which is often a group concept.If you don’t have any freshness in the local school, there will naturally be others who will step forward to fill your position.For individuals, once they miss a fleeting opportunity, they need to make every effort to make up for it, and it may not be possible. Deng Lijun's comeback in the original time and space can only be said to be a special case.

As one of the most successful representatives from Xiangjiang to Japan, Chen Meiling has also developed well in her hometown through the operation of DreamWorks, which has well assisted the music career in Japan.

Appearing in Media Asia TV's live broadcast room this time is a good opportunity for her to show her strengths, including "NHK Red and White Song Hezhan", which includes the dynamics of the Japanese music scene, and she can talk freely and freely, quite like a general.

The host Mao Shunjun smiled and guided the other party's topic, "Meiling, as a senior in the music industry, what advice do you have for artists who are interested in going to Japan to develop or further their studies?"

"As soon as you call me senior, I suddenly feel a lot older." Chen Meiling joked, and continued: "I think the most important point should be to do as the Romans do, such as language, and to be more specific, in a short time It’s really hard to explain clearly. However, I can give you an example that does a good job, and that is Girls’ Generation, a girl group from DreamWorks.”

"Really?" Mao Shunjun said in surprise: "I only know that these girls are very popular in Hong Kong. In addition to singing and dancing, they also starred in two comedy movies this year - the supernatural-themed "Happy Ghost" and "Happy Magic" , very successful, with box office exceeding [-] million."

"In this way, they are idols with strength." Chen Meiling praised, "Several songs from Girls' Generation are very suitable for the very popular video game dance machines in Japan, so they are very popular."

"Dancing machines are also very popular here in Xiangjiang. I followed the trend and bought them for bodybuilding, but my level is still at the elementary level." Mao Shunjun laughed heartily, "Meiling, have you ever played this game?"

"Give a glimpse." Chen Meiling nodded, "If we have time, we can share our experience."

"I'm sorry, two, although you are talking about sex, I still have to interrupt." Another host, Paul Zhong, interjected.

"It's commercial time again, it goes by so fast!" Chen Meiling picked up the manuscript in front of her, hiding the uncontrollable smile on her face.

"The live broadcast room is a bit yin and yang right now." Paul Zhong shook his head pretendingly, and then said at a faster speed: "Tonight, in addition to broadcasting "NHK Red and White Songs", Media Asia TV will also broadcast "NHK Red and White Song Hezhan". Sponsored by Qinhe Group, the first Symphony of Lights New Year's Eve event held in Victoria Harbor not only included the traditional fireworks display, but also introduced high-tech digitally controlled light and music performances for the first time."

"According to the information gathered by the reporters in front, the flow of tourists is relatively large. Although the organizers have already prepared a plan to deal with the dense crowd accumulated in the Xiangjiang International Marathon, it is night after all, so everyone must pay attention to safety."

"Media Asia TV has set up prizes to participate in this New Year's Eve event. Viewers are welcome to dial the phone number displayed at the bottom of the screen to connect."

After Paul Chung finished the message smoothly, he turned to Mao Shunjun and Chen Meiling, "I have to participate in the topic of the two of you, otherwise I will lose my sense of presence."

Mao Shunjun immediately rolled his eyes at Paul Zhong, "Are you blaming me for stealing your limelight?"

"How dare I." Paul Zhong hurriedly smiled and raised his hands for mercy, "In my memory, this is the first time for a large-scale comprehensive New Year's Eve event like A Symphony of Lights. Since you all went off topic to the dancing machine just now, Then why not talk about it, lest I be scolded by the director after the show is over."

Chen Meiling stopped laughing and said after thinking: "If I remember correctly, before going to Japan to develop, that is, in the 1970s, it seems that Xiangjiang did not allow such large-scale fireworks, let alone any New Year's Eve activities. "

"Yes, it was banned for historical reasons. However, during the Lunar New Year the year before last, in order to celebrate the 150th anniversary of its establishment, Jardine Matheson broke this restriction on the first day of the first lunar month and held a fireworks display to add to the Xiangjiang festival with traditional customs. Festive. Due to the good response, this event was retained and continued. This year, in order to help Xiangjiang accumulate popularity, promote tourism, and stimulate economic development, Qinhe Group sponsored this brand-new A Symphony of Lights New Year’s Eve event. "

After Paul Zhong explained, facing the camera, he added: "During this festival, the workload of many dedicated police officers and employees of various public institutions has increased sharply. I hope everyone can be sympathetic and cooperate with them in performing official duties."

"Compared to the New Year's Eve event held in Xiangjiang, which is still trying to figure out the experience, what is the situation in Japan?" Paul Zhong made a gesture of invitation, and handed over the topic to Chen Meiling again.

……

Tang Huan put the crystal cup on the coffee table, looked at the TV screen, and praised with a smile: "This Paul Zhong, the hosting style is getting more and more exquisite and watertight."

"It's also due to you, Bole, who gave me the opportunity. Otherwise, I really don't know how he will develop after the car accident." Weng Jingjing smiled and offered a flattery.

"It's just a matter of raising your hands, whether you can seize the opportunity or not depends on your personal performance." Tang Huan caressed the other party's hair fondly, and asked casually: "A Symphony of Lights New Year's Eve event should be very lively, why don't you go around? "

Weng Jingjing smiled slyly, "I paid them all to watch the excitement, and then I will stay with you."

"You are really a clever ghost." Tang Huan was amused and laughed.

"Judging from the current situation, related industries such as Qinhe, Zheru Xiangjiang, DreamWorks, and Media Asia TV have cooperated tacitly in terms of funds, technology, performances, and publicity for the Symphony of Lights Hong Kong New Year's Eve event." Weng Jing Jing hugged Tang Huan's arm and commented solemnly.

"You have observed carefully. This is also my comfort. If I can integrate my various industrial resources in Xiangjiang and play a role, then it will definitely be more than the so-called No. [-] consortium in Xiangjiang." Tang Huan nodded approvingly.

Weng Jingjing tilted her head and thought, "Hua Asia One has been successfully launched, which means that the data channel is smoother. In the future, the company's management will definitely respond faster."

"Your forecast is too optimistic." Tang Huan shook his head slightly. "Technology is only an auxiliary means after all. Whether it can exert [-]% of its power depends on the specific implementation mechanism and people."

"Then let's get used to it slowly. I believe that as long as [-]% of the power of this technical system is exerted, Qinhe can be brought to a higher level." Weng Jingjing said, waving her small fist.

Tang Huan watched it interestingly, and patted the other's smooth and tender legs, "You, don't think too much, focus on your studies first, and practice at Xiangjiang Traffic Radio Station at the same time. After graduation, I will have you Opportunity to flex your muscles.”

While the two were chatting, the "NHK Red and White Uta Battle" officially began soon.

……

The program format of "NHK Red and White Uta Battle" is that female singers form the red group, and male singers form the white group.However, in fact, the confrontation is just a gimmick, mainly to serve the joyful atmosphere.

This year's "NHK Red and White Uta Battle" is the 35th session. The host of the red group is Mitsuko Mori, the host of the white group is Kenji Suzuki, and the general host is Keiichi Nakata. The first female singer to appear in the red group is No. Hayami Yuu participated in "NHK Red and White Uta Battle" for the second time.

Tang Huan glanced at it twice, but he didn't have any impression, so he lost interest and began to think about other things.

After Hu Yinmeng avoided the media in Xiangjiang and Baodao, and hid in Los Angeles, USA for production, the film department of DreamWorks was a little turbulent.When Tang Huan came to Xiangjiang this time, Hu Yinmeng specially asked him to pay attention.

However, Tang Huan didn't bother to pay attention.What he cared about was the progress of forming the Xiangjiang Cinemas Alliance. As for the changes in personnel due to the attraction of money, he really couldn't see it.

With the resources that DreamWorks currently possesses, it's not like they can praise whoever they want, and there are not so many influencing factors that make things happen according to people.

In Tang Huan's view, as long as DreamWorks is able to launch Chinese-language content programs that meet the standards of entering Hollywood, the following specific ups and downs are normal metabolism.

"This Akina Nakamori is your Warner Records artist, right?" Weng Jingjing gently pushed Tang Huan and asked.

Tang Huan regained his composure, glanced at the TV twice, and nodded, "He's a member of Warner Bros. Pioneer."

After a hard blow from Steve Ross and the control of Warner Music, its subsidiaries around the world were naturally taken over.

This Warner Bros. Pioneer company was established in 1970, with Warner Bros. of the United States contributing 50%, Watanabe & Associates of Japan 25%, and Pioneer Corporation of Japan 25%.But in 1978, the capital of Watanabe & Associates withdrew from Warner Pioneer.

Warner Bros. Pioneer and the record company invested by Yamaha Musical Instruments Company controlled by Tang Huan merged into one place, coupled with Philips Polygram as an ally, the Japanese music market began to rise. Akina Nakamori is an obvious result , this is the second time she has participated in "NHK Red and White Uta Battle".

After Akina Nakamori's round of red-white confrontation ended, it was Deng Lijun's turn to appear on the stage. Of course, the song she sang was the worldwide hit song in 1984 and the theme song "I Will Always Love You" of the movie "Hu Hua Qing Qing"—— "I will continue to miss you".

After Deng Lijun's comeback, the singles such as "Little Dream" and "First Dream" released in Japan received very good response; this year's release of "Repayment" written by Toyohisa Araki and composed by Tsuyoshi Miki, although it is sad The gloomy style does not please her in terms of mood, but it is in line with the general trend of urban music in the Japanese pop music scene, and the results also illustrate this point. When it started, it directly stepped into the top ten of the Oricon Oricon chart.

Fortunately, Deng Lijun didn't need to compromise again in "NHK Red and White Songs Battle", the Japanese want to appreciate the more influential "I Will Continue to Miss You".

Deng Lijun, who successfully completed the world tour with one billion applause, is now in a new peak state, with an extremely powerful aura, and the appeal of music can almost penetrate the TV screen. A song contains three versions of Japanese, Chinese and English After the interpretation of "I will continue to miss you", the previous contestants seemed to be eclipsed, so that another well-known Japanese female singer who appeared in the next round, Matsuda Sei who participated in the "NHK Red and White Uta Battle" for the fifth time The status also seems to be affected.

The host in Media Asia TV's live broadcast room praised Deng Lijun's performance status, and Chen Meiling commented admiringly: "Lijun's dress today is relatively simple compared with other artists, which reflects her strong self-confidence. A perfect show."

Weng Jingjing, whose eyes are full of little stars, patted the sofa excitedly, "Oh, this is the demeanor of a world-class superstar."

"Aren't you so envious that you want to come back again?" Tang Huan joked.

"I was really moved just now. But considering the hard work involved, forget it." Weng Jingjing waved her hand calmly.

Deng Lijun's first appearance of "NHK Red and White Song Hezhan" was indeed very successful. The average ratings of "NHK Red and White Song Hezhan" that night were 78.1%. The team defeated the white team and ended.

……

After admiring Deng Lijun's performance on "NHK Red and White Songs", Tang Huan didn't continue to watch. He didn't even care about the Symphony of Lights New Year's Eve event broadcast by Media Asia TV, and just fell asleep.When I opened my eyes again, it was already January 1985, 1.

Selina Chow was the first to visit, and she cordially invited: "Tang Sheng, since you have arrived in Xiangjiang, accept an interview from Media Asia TV and say a few words for New Year's Day."

When Tang Huan heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm neither the governor of Hong Kong nor the head of state. If I follow others' example of making New Year's speeches on TV, wouldn't it make others laugh out loud."

"How could it be?" Selina Chow hastily continued to say: "Yesterday's A Symphony of Lights New Year's Eve event was very successful, and many professionals have affirmed its positive role in promoting tourism. I heard that after the Hong Kong International Marathon Afterwards, we plan to prepare for the Xiangjiang Tennis Open. The role of the former in gathering popularity is very obvious, and I believe the latter is no different. Obviously, these activities will become the name card of Xiangjiang, and the significance to the economy of Xiangjiang can be imagined. A person who speaks publicly and is thinking about hitching a ride to do some small business, can know more about it."

Tang Huan, who listened to Zhou Liang Shuyi's eloquence and was too lazy to show his face, was finally persuaded, nodded and said: "Well, your eloquence is really amazing."

Zhou Liang Shuyi smiled, "I won't trouble you too much, I have already brought the interview team, and I am waiting in the lobby of the hotel."

"I'll add one more thing to you, it's a perfect strategy." Tang Huan gave Zhou Liang Shuyi a thumbs up to leave, and then ordered Xie Ning, who personally delivered the "Duo" brand cookies, "Ah Ning, My face depends on your makeup skills, I must be handsome in the camera."

Weng Jingjing poked her head out of the bedroom with a smile and added: "The key is not to let others see the dark circles under the eyes of excessive indulgence."
