I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard
Chapter 48: First Singing
Releasing the album to the world?
Jingyi of course raised both hands in agreement. The two parties sat down to sign the contract. Since Jingyi was not a musician signed by Warner Records, this was just a contract for cooperation between the two parties.
Warner Records sent a piano with the best sound quality in Hong Kong. Jingyi spent three days in the recording studio and recorded all 11 classic piano pieces.
Warner Hong Kong will send a special person to deliver the recorded master tape to the headquarters in the United States. At that time, Warner Records will release and sell it all over the world at the same time.
After recording all the songs, Jingyi went to Bill's office to say goodbye. Suddenly, she found an invitation letter on Bill's desk, inviting him to participate in the original singer competition.
"Mr. Bill, why have I never heard of this original song competition?" Jingyi asked curiously.
Is there still such a competition in Hong Kong now? I only know that TVB will hold a new singer competition in the future, and the champion of the first competition was Anita Mui.
Only one year later, Rediffusion Television also launched the Hong Kong 18 District Amateur Singer Competition. The champion of the first competition was the singing god Xue Youge, and the champion of the second competition was Li Keqin, the neighbor.
And how come I have never heard of this so-called Hong Kong Original Singer Contest?
"Oh! This original singer competition is jointly organized by the Music Association and Commercial Radio. It is held every three years, and this year is the second session. How come Miss Jingyi is also interested? But the registration deadline has passed!" Seeing that she seemed very interested, Bearded Bill said to her regretfully.
What's the problem? It's just co-organized by the Music Association! I've known the Music Association since I was a kid, so wouldn't it be easy to just say hello?
Jingyi borrowed the phone in Mr. Bill's office and immediately called President Liang of the Music Association.
"Uncle, I'm Jingyi. I also want to participate in that original singer competition. Yes! Didn't I know about it? You didn't tell me. Okay, thank you, President Liang."
After hanging up the phone, Jingyi's face was full of sunshine. It's easy to get things done with someone in the court! It's not too easy to go through the back door.
After saying goodbye to Bearded Bill, Jingyi called a taxi and headed to Lou Mansion. She had to go back and carefully choose the type of songs. At the age of sixteen, she definitely couldn't sing about love and life and death on stage, which would ruin her pure image.
The infrastructure of Hong Kong is very good except for the narrow roads. Both sides of Hillary Street were full of cars, so the taxi could only stop at the street entrance. Jingyi paid the fare and walked deeper into Hillary Street.
Before she even stepped into the Lou Mansion, she ran into Lou Jiawei, who lived in the East Courtyard. He was born to the second wife of the East Courtyard and was 21 years old this year. He had been a bad boy since he was a child and dressed like a gangster.
"Yohoo! Cousin Jingyi is back? Do you want your third cousin to take you for a river cruise?"
When Lou Jiawei saw Jingyi, he whistled at her frivolously, then shook the motorcycle keys in his hand and came over to invite her.
"That broken motorcycle of yours? I feel ashamed to sit on it. Get out of the way!" Jingyi walked past him quickly and entered Lou Mansion without looking back.
Lou Jiawei stood there, greedily looking at her back. This little cousin who had no blood relationship with the Lou family was becoming more and more beautiful.
She has long straight black hair like a waterfall, fair skin as smooth as white jade, and a pair of bright big eyes. She is only sixteen years old, but she has a good figure. I wonder how beautiful she will be when she grows up?
When Jingyi first came here at the age of five, she knew that the family in the East Courtyard had a prejudice against her. The three wives of that family never treated her well when they saw her. Her uncle Lou Qiming also looked at her with disgust.
Therefore, Jingyi never stepped into the East Courtyard unless she had something to do. She went to the Second Uncle's house in the West Courtyard more often than the East Courtyard. None of the people in the East Courtyard were good people, no wonder Lou Zhenhua didn't like the eldest son's family!
Walking into the inner hall of the middle courtyard, no one is home now. Lou Zhenhua is busy with company affairs and doesn't come back until 5pm every day. And Tan Yali comes even later! Before 8pm, she is nowhere to be seen at home.
As for her adoptive mother, Lou Xiao'e, Jingyi hadn't seen her for more than ten days. She and Wei Shixian had been married for almost nine years, but she was still pregnant.
In the plot, she also remarried, but she only had one child, He Xiao. It seems that Wei Shixian is not as good as Sha Zhu! Sha Zhu has accumulated 31 years of skills, just to become famous overnight.
The old lady of the Wei family was so anxious that she burned incense and prayed to Buddha all day long, but it was of no use. Seeing that hope was getting slimmer and slimmer, the old lady set her sights on Jingyi.
She was trying to get Jingyi to move in, and even told Jingyi not to take her mother's surname, and wanted her to change her name to Wei.
Bah! I am not a slave of three surnames.
Jingyi said she was unwilling to do anything! Now she was different from before, her wings were already hard! If the Lou family agreed to the Wei family's request for the sake of their old friendship, she would run away from home and move out to live alone.
Fortunately, the old couple of the Lou family did not give in! Jingyi has lived in the Lou family for eleven years and has long been a part of their family. It is hard to find such an outstanding granddaughter even with a lantern, and they want to push her away because they are sick.
But she also needs to prepare early! Seeing that Lou Zhenhua is already over 70 years old, he is still working hard for the company. Once Grandpa Lou falls and Lou Qiming takes charge, there will definitely be no place for him in the Lou family.
She returned to her room, closed the door, and entered the station space in a flash. She picked and chose in the small western-style building in the space, and finally selected two songs. One in Mandarin and one in Cantonese.
The Mandarin song is called "Childhood". The original release date of this song was 1981, but she wanted to release it four years earlier.
The Cantonese song is called "Walking on the Road of Life". It was originally released by the legendary singer of the daily life in 1980. Later, in 1983, the only international superstar in the Chinese music scene sang it in Cantonese, and it became her famous song.
This original singer competition only has one round, and you only need to prepare one original song. Jingyi looked at the two music scores in her hand and finally made up her mind to choose the song "Childhood".
It's not that the song "Walking on the Road of Life" is bad! It's that she is still young and doesn't have so many feelings about life.
She spent 7,000 yuan to buy a professional acoustic guitar on a shopping platform. After tuning the guitar, she plucked the strings to try it out.
Although her guitar skills are not as good as those of piano professionals, she has no problem playing on stage. Being a resident singer in a bar means she is a jack of all trades, she has to be able to sing all kinds of songs and play all kinds of instruments.
It was the day of the original singer competition. Jingyi came early with her guitar to the Xiangjiang Cultural Center next to the Hung Hom Stadium in Kowloon.
The venue of the competition was a small auditorium in the cultural center. The decoration was very simple. There was not even a single spectator in the audience. There were only eight referees sitting there. Five of them were people Jingyi knew!
Jingyi could only pretend that she didn't know them. Otherwise, if other contestants found out, they would think they were doing something behind the scenes.
Although there was no audience at the scene, there was a commercial radio station broadcasting the live broadcast. At that time, listeners next to the radio could call in and vote for their favorite contestants.
There were only thirteen contestants on stage, including her. If she hadn't come in through the back door, there would have been only twelve in total.
She and other contestants went on stage to draw lots and get their number plates. Her position was not bad, as she got the number nine.
At this time in Hong Kong, the music scene is not really prosperous. The only new band in Hong Kong is the Wynners, which is quite famous. But they don't have their own songs, and rely entirely on covers of European and American music.
This original singer competition is definitely not good! You have to be able to write songs and sing them yourself. Jingyi said in her heart that there is no such musical genius in Hong Kong now!
As expected! The contestants in the front row came on stage one by one to sing their own original songs. They all sang English songs with bland melodies, which made Jingyi feel drowsy.
"Now, please welcome contestant number seven! Contestant number seven, Danny, the name of the song he is competing in is "The Rocky Road."
The emcee came up to announce the show, and then a spirited young man came up. Jingyi thought he looked familiar, and then she realized what he was. He was only nineteen years old, and looked very young. No wonder she didn't recognize him.
He also made an English song. The short man picked the tall one and was slightly better than the others.
"Next, we welcome contestant number nine, Lou Jingyi. The song she will be performing is called "Childhood."
Jingyi went on stage with her guitar on her back. As she waited behind the stage, she felt a little regretful. If she had known that the performances were all of this level, why would she have come to join in the fun? But it was too late to regret now, the arrow had to be shot!
The opening is very catchy with a guitar prelude, followed by a clear and ethereal voice!
"On the banyan tree beside the pond, cicadas are calling out for summer. On the swing beside the playground, only the butterfly is resting on it. On the blackboard, the teacher...!"
This song is very suitable for Jingyi's age. Her voice is sweet with a hint of mischief, which makes people feel relaxed immediately when listening to it.
"Damn! There's finally a song that's nice and understandable. Who knows what all those gibberish before were singing?"
An uncle taxi driver, while driving and listening to the car radio, praised the passenger in the back seat.
"Yeah! After listening to them again and again, this one is the best. Contestant number nine, right? I'll call and vote for her after I get off the car." The passenger in the back seat also nodded in response.
The radio waves flew into thousands of households. As long as the radio was turned on at home, everyone would be attracted by the song. The sound was so clean and clear that people could remember it immediately.
