"What song are you going to sing?" "'Assorted Vegetables'!" "Yo, Carpenter?" "You know Carpenter?" Zhang Qiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and Chen Qi smiled and said, "I also know "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "Moon River" and "I like you better than I can say"!" "I know the first two, but what is the second one?" "More Than I Can Say!" "Um???" Zhang Qiang was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, grinned and covered her stomach with laughter: "Hahaha, you are so interesting!" "How can this child talk? He has no manners at all!"
Her mother was anxious and embarrassed, and hurriedly pulled her away, but she just waited for herself to finish laughing. "It's okay, it's okay. It's a good thing for children to laugh..." Chen Qi waved his hand and waited for her enthusiasm to pass before saying, "Okay, let's start singing!" "Yeah! I sing English songs very well!" Zhang Qiang took a step forward very confidently, not standing still like Wang Fei. Her whole body was very relaxed, and she sang: "Good-bye, Joe, he gotta go, me oh my oh, He gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou…” This is Carpenter's "Assorted Dishes," and domestically, their most well-known song is of course "Yesterday Again," which is a must-have piece for English listening classes. The first impression of Zhang Qiang's voice is that it is tender, like a child's. She will also be like a child when she grows up. Then there is crispness, which is very crisp and refreshing, and you won’t feel sleepy after listening to it. All in all, it is a very unique and outstanding voice. It also has a good taste when singing English songs and its pronunciation is very accurate. It can be seen that it has been cultivated since childhood. Children from ordinary families do not have this condition. After singing the song, she looked at Chen Qi with great energy, and Chen Qi said: "Okay, you have been selected, please wait for the notification!" "Yeah! Mom, look, I knew I could be selected!" "Shut up!" Her mother was still a normal person and said hurriedly: "Thank you both for your attention, thank you very much!" After they went out, Huang Yihe worried: "Is this child a little too rebellious?" "She is not allowed to sing English songs, so what are you afraid of? If she doesn't obey, she will be kicked out. She is not a candidate for death." "That's true!" Huang Yihe nodded and asked: "There are already four Jiang Shan, Wang Fei, Zhang Qiang, and Hu Jun. How many should we choose?" "Let's have 6-8 people, half men and women, sing 2-3 songs!" Then, Chen Qi studied the details with him, which surprised Huang Yihe the most.
Because his so-called details include how to set up the lighting, the background music of the scene, the matching of the host's clothing, the color and style of the tablecloth, what kind of balloon ribbons to use, etc., frame by frame. Chen Qi applied for 1,200 yuan from the Ministry of Culture. Well, 1,200 yuan. Among them, 500 yuan was used to buy 5,000 prizes, such as pens, notebooks, pencil cases, etc., and the remaining 700 yuan was used to purchase clothing, props, etc. There are three cameras on site, all the staff plus the currently confirmed performers, a total of more than 60 people. "The most crude Spring Festival Gala in history!" ………… Historically, Huang Yihe only received the task of preparing for the Spring Festival Gala in November 1982, and New Year's Eve was in February. After careful planning, in more than three months, he, Ma Ji, and Jiang Kun were able to organize a party to that level, which was enough to prove their ability. Now there are two more months, and there is a five-month preparation period, which is more abundant. The current plan is: At the end of January, a group of people from Hong Kong will set off, first go to Shanghai for a few days, then come to the capital, and then attend the Spring Festival Gala on New Year’s Eve on February 12. CCTV sent a camera to follow and record the whole process. The list includes Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng, Xian Qiran, Lin Lingdong, Mou Dundi, Liu Dehua, Zhang Mingmin, Zhong Chuhong, Liu Xuehua, Qiu Shuzhen... They will not all attend the party, only those who have a program. Chen Qi is scheduled to return at the end of the year. He has gone through the process several times with Huang Yihe, who is equivalent to the executive director. He was in a hurry this week after he came back, running around every day and meeting people from all walks of life. Even on the morning of his departure, he met two people, one was Li Lingyu and the other was Hu Weili. Hu Weili is still teaching at Nortel. He will go to Hong Kong in 1986. Chen Qi wants him to advance. The condition is very simple: "I will set up a subsidiary in Hong Kong and sign you in the name of the subsidiary, and you can go to Hong Kong to work openly. On the basis of completing the company's tasks, I will not restrict you from outside work, and all the money you earn belongs to you. " Hu Weili said without saying a word: "It's done!" The reason why he went to Hong Kong in history was to make more money for his children to study abroad. Now that he can go in an upright manner, why not? Li Lingyu is even more familiar. She has sung for "Tai Chi" and played Gong Xue's sister in "Beautiful Life". Chen Qi has long wanted to sign her. According to the original trajectory, she would be admitted to the Oriental Song and Dance Ensemble, release an album casually, and sell millions of copies, becoming the queen of sweet songs. "If you sign me, will I be in the Mainland or Hong Kong?" "You can be wherever you like, but your development route is mainly in the mainland. I will let you export to domestic sales, produce albums in Hong Kong, and distribute them in the mainland..." Li Lingyu is 18 years old this year, and she is becoming more and more graceful. She is obviously moved, but she said: "I have to discuss it with my parents. I can't make the decision myself!" "Okay, if you are sure, go to Lechunfang to find Liang Xiaosheng. They are all our own people there!" ………… "Boom!" As the plane took off, Chen Qi left Beijing and rushed to Shanghai. Xiao Yang accompanied him throughout the journey and saw with his own eyes how busy he was. The responsibility of shouldering the two capitals and thirteen provinces did not overwhelm this man. Chen Qi closed his eyes and used the short time to think.
Wang Fei, Zhang Qiang, and Li Lingyu all wanted to sign. Making music can make money these days, even if there are pirated copies. When the machines of audio-visual companies in various places are turned on, they print not tapes, but banknotes. The famous Guangzhou Pacific Audio and Video Company can build a building a year! Wang Fei was still young, and Zhang Qiang and Li Lingyu were super popular in the 1980s. They had almost no original works, and they were all covers, but they created one electronic music queen and one sweet song queen. Chen Qi is now facing a problem: music, like movies, is a system monopoly, and only audio-visual units in various places are qualified to distribute it. Dongchang was granted free operation in Hong Kong, but not in the mainland. He also had to think of a way to sell tapes to the mainland. It was very fast to get from Beijing to Shanghai. Chen Qi just took a nap when Xiao Yang patted him: "Brother Qi, we are about to land!" "Oh!" He sat up straight, yawned, and looked sleepy. Not long after, they got off the plane and ran to the guesthouse of Shanghai Film Studio to check in. Then they immediately came to Wanhangdu Road in JA District, which was not far away, about three kilometers away. There was a sign hanging at the door, Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio!
