Chapter 84 Double Star Concert
Jingyi stayed in Beijing for more than ten days until the decoration of the big villa in Dongdan was completed. Then she returned to Hong Kong with her assistant Tingting.
After the decoration of the villa was completed, she purchased a large number of modern furniture, appliances, kitchen and bathroom supplies, and daily necessities on the shopping platform.
Although the two sets of Ming and Qing furniture have not yet been completed, the villa is now completely habitable.
Tan Liya and her daughter, along with Liu Quan, have already moved into the villa. Jingyi also called back to Hong Kong to ask the two couples of Lou's servants if they were willing to return to the Lou Mansion in the old city. Of course the two old couples were willing! Their relatives and friends were all here, and of course they wanted to return to their roots.
Jingyi used the bucket on the water purifier to store several buckets of space beauty spring water upstairs in the villa. She also gave Tan Yali two hundred-year-old mountain ginseng and a batch of precious medicinal materials, and asked her to make tea according to the recipe she gave!
Before leaving, she talked to her grandmother Tan Yali again in detail, telling her about how Sha Zhu had been coming to the villa to look for her mother, and how the Jia family had gone to the TV station to cause trouble on New Year's Eve.
"Grandma, I don't want to have any disputes with Siheyuan. But I'm really worried about my mother! She seems kind-hearted, but to be honest, she's too soft-hearted and too sentimental. So, I hope you can stop her from associating with Shazhu."
Tan Yali sighed and said worriedly, "Grandma, what can I do? Your mother is already so old, how can I control her? If it really doesn't work, I will force her to go back to Hong Kong."
"I still say the same thing! I don't object to her remarrying, but she can't remarry with Sha Zhu. I also know that Sha Zhu has done a favor for the Lou family, and I can repay him materially, but I can't give myself to him." Jingyi answered firmly.
The news that she won seven Grammy Awards and the Lifetime Achievement Award on the eve of the Spring Festival continued to ferment in Hong Kong and around the world. This is the first time that an Asian has received such an honor.
Although she didn't have a single song nominated in the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Awards and TVB's Top Ten Golden Songs Awards, she was still awarded the highest honor at the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Awards: the Golden Needle Award, to express her contribution to the Hong Kong music scene.
Jingyi was not in Hong Kong at that time, so her best friend Lijun accepted the award on her behalf. Not only did she give a speech on her behalf, she also sang an English song "My Heart Will Go On" on her behalf.
She returned to the Repulse Bay Villa with her assistant Tingting, and first found three Filipino maids through an agency. Then she went to a security company to find a security guard who served as both a driver and a bodyguard.
Upon learning that she had returned to Hong Kong, Sister Lijun came over to return her the Golden Needle trophy she had won.
"Show me the Grammy trophy! It's every musician's lifelong dream." Sister Lijun teased her as soon as she arrived.
"It's in the study on the second floor, go and see for yourself." Jingyi said disapprovingly. This Grammy trophy is just a scaled-down record player model, what's so good about it.
"I will hold a solo concert at the Hung Hom Stadium in April, and I invite you to be my guest at the concert. You can't refuse, because my box office depends on you!" Sister Lijun revealed her real purpose!
The Hung Hom Stadium can accommodate 12,500 spectators. Since it was built in August 1981, no singer has ever held a concert there. The main reason is that the venue is too large and there is not enough confidence in ticket sales.
Nowadays, Hong Kong singers usually hold concerts in a concert hall with 2,090 seats, or in the auditoriums of the cultural center.
"You're going to hold a concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum? How many shows in total? You're worthy of being the big sister of PolyGram. The company is taking such good care of you?"
Jingyi was envious! It was very beneficial to have the support of the company. She was not alone and had no one to help her.
"We'll have fifteen shows, one show every two days, which is exactly one month. We've made a deal! You should get ready first."
With Lou Jingyi helping her, Sister Lijun felt at ease. With Jingyi as the guest of the concert, there was no need to worry about not being able to sell the large number of tickets at the Hong Kong Coliseum.
The two chatted for a while, and Sister Lijun hurriedly said goodbye and left. She was going back to PolyGram Records to inform the company's top management that Lou Jingyi would be the guest of her concert.
Today, PolyGram Records is still a branch of a multinational corporation with its headquarters in London, England.
When PolyGram's music director heard that Lou Jingyi was invited to be a guest at the concert, he was delighted.
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. Being a guest would not limit how many songs she could sing on stage, so what if each of them could sing half of the entire concert time?
Then the entire promotional plan would have to be changed! It would be better to call it a double superstar concert. Lou Jingyi hadn't signed a contract with the company, so as long as she nodded her head in agreement, it would be fine.
The number of concerts also needs to be increased. Fifteen is obviously not enough, at least thirty should be held. Three stages are definitely not enough, so four stages should be fully sold out. He believes in the appeal of these two superstars!
Of course, this still requires Lou Jingyi's consent. He immediately found Deng Lijun and told her about his idea, and Deng Lijun agreed. If the two of them could hold a concert together, the fans below...? You can imagine the scene.
In front of the music director, she immediately called Jingyi and tried her best to persuade Jingyi to agree!
"Isn't this a bad idea? Am I not snatching away your solo concert?" Jingyi hesitated on the phone.
"How could that be! The number of performances has doubled, so we can take turns and not get tired. The income will be split equally. That's it! Starting tomorrow I'll go to your place to practice singing together." She didn't want to waste time with Jingyi, so she finished her words quickly and hung up the phone.
Now that both parties have finalized it, PolyGram's music director began to call the person in charge of the Hong Kong Coliseum to express his desire to extend the rental period of the venue.
But the person in charge of the Hong Kong Coliseum told him that the following time slots had been booked. After Teresa Teresa's concert, it would be followed by Sam Hui's five solo concerts. PolyGram needed to negotiate with them.
The music director called Xu Guanjie's Kang Yi Cheng Yin record company. Although this record company is a local company in Hong Kong, it is quite powerful. Famous singers such as Teresa Teng, Xu Guanjie, and Guan Zhengjie are all signed to this record company.
But Kang Yi Cheng Yin Records did not agree to postpone the release date. Their promotion had already been sent out and the time could not be changed.
PolyGram's music director was helpless and could only ask the two superstars to work harder, performing 30 shows a day.
The next morning, Sister Lijun drove to the Repulse Bay Villa and took out the performance contract for her to sign.
"How did your personal concert become one for two people? Didn't you say yesterday when you came that I was just a guest performer?" Although she also wanted to hold a concert, she couldn't take away the opportunity from her own people.
"Can't it be changed? The guest now is Tan Yonglin, and he is also the emcee of the concert. The name of the concert has been changed, and it is now called Gemini Shining on the Oriental Pearl. Sign quickly!" Sister Lijun urged.
Sign it! Jingyi took a pen and signed her name. She didn't expect that the first concert in her life would be co-organized with Sister Lijun.
"Think about the songs you want to sing at the concert! The concert will last two and a half hours in total. Excluding the half hour for interacting with the audience and fans, we will each have one hour. It will take five minutes to sing each song, and each of us will have to sing twelve songs." Sister Lijun urged her after she finished signing.
"The concert needs to be innovative. We can't always sing old songs, right? I'm going to come up with three new songs. Sister Lijun, do you have any new songs?" Jingyi asked her.
"The company gave me two! I can't compare to your musical genius, so two new songs are enough."
Jingyi went to the study room on the second floor. She had prepared a new song for Sister Lijun a long time ago, but she didn't expect that she was restricted from entering the country by Xiaorizi, so she never gave it to her. If she didn't give it to her, it would expire and become Xiaorizi's original work. Now is the perfect time to use it for the concert.
She picked out three music sheets. One was "Atonement" written by Xiao Rizi in 1984, and the Chinese version was called "Repayment".
There is also another one called "Lover" which was created by Xiao Rizi in 1984. The Chinese version is also called "Lover".
The last one is the Mandarin song "Drunken Tango", which Sister Lijun actually covered in 1987. Now that she has brought it out, it is equivalent to Sister Lijun becoming the original singer.
When she handed the music score to Sister Lijun, she shook her head and refused to take it.
"I feel embarrassed to keep using the songs you composed! You don't charge me for buying songs from you."
Jingyi stuffed it directly into her arms! And said carelessly: "Why do you have to be so clear about the distinction between us? Who is with whom, the two sisters?"
Sister Lijun opened the music sheet, her eyes sparkling. Two of the music sheets had lyrics in both Chinese and Japanese, and it was obvious that they were specially composed for her. They were all hits!
This good sister always considers her. It is enough to know one person in this life.
