Chapter 646 The Prodigal Son Wang Jie "There is a girl far away, her name is Jelia. Some people say that her eyes make you younger..." In a lounge in Shilin, Taipei, there are men and women, and a petty bourgeois atmosphere. On the small stage in front, 22-year-old Wang Jie is holding a guitar and singing. He is not amazing in appearance, with small and dull eyes, but a clear and clear voice. Features. This song is called "Yeliya Girl", and many people think it was sung by Tong Ange. That's right, it was composed by Tong Ange and originally sung by Liu Wenzheng. After Tong Ange became famous, he sang it himself - he actually made his debut as a composer. "Yelia, mysterious Yelia, I must find her!" After the song was finished, the men and women were all minding their own business, not even applauding. Wang Jie has long been used to it. He puts his guitar on his back and calls it a day, quietly rolling out the door. This lounge is not the place for him to stay. His parents are both Taiwanese, but they are actors in Shaw Brothers and developed in Hong Kong. Later, they divorced and his parents returned to Taiwan. Wang Jie worked alone in Hong Kong and came to Taiwan to make a living when he was 17 years old. Driver, chef, stuntman, resident singer... I have had many professions. He got married at the age of 19 and has a daughter. He is a Hong Kong citizen and does not have a Taiwan ID card. He volunteered to serve in the military so that he could live long-term. After returning from the army, his wife ran away.
So even though he is only 22 years old, he has a lot of experience. Wang Jie lived on the streets in his early days. Smoking, drinking, and fighting were commonplace. He signed with a record company in 1987 and his first album "A Game, a Dream" sold 18 million copies in Asia - I have reservations about this data. But back then he was indeed a super popular prodigal son! It stopped after the new century. Later, he always said that someone poisoned him and made his voice hoarse. Others said that he had no self-discipline and damaged his voice himself - this is a well-known unsolved case in the entertainment industry. "Boom!" He left the bar, rode a second-hand motorcycle, and walked through the streets of Taipei to a residence. "dad!" A little girl ran over with her teeth bared and ran into his arms. Wang Jie picked her up and called to the middle-aged woman behind him: "Mom!" "Have you eaten yet?" "I'll take Cuicui out to eat!" "Well, it just so happens that I didn't prepare your meal either!" The woman was very cold, and Wang Jie was also used to it. He left with his daughter, walked around the street, and stopped at a familiar roadside stall. Two people eat two bowls of noodles and two braised eggs, which is already very good. When they were at their worst, they had to share one bowl of noodles and one braised egg. While I was eating, there was a beeping sound behind me. A car parked there. When the door opened, a long-faced man got out, a few years older than him. "Wow, you really eat noodles here!" "Wow, when did you buy a car? Is it so profitable to make an album?" "Don't move, don't move, I borrowed it!" You may not be familiar with the name of the visitor, Chen Huanchang. He has a stage name called Xiao Chong. It's the same bug who wrote "Love the country more than beauty", "Heart is too soft", "As long as you live better than me", "Ren Xiaoyao" and so on. Later, one of the four major producers of Rolling Stone, the other three being Li Zongsheng, Luo Dayou, and Chen Sheng.
Xiaochong had just entered the music industry and had some success. Wang Jie had joined his band before. “Add a bowl of noodles!” Xiaochong moved a stool and sat down and said, "I recommended it to the boss. The boss said you are ugly and as skinny as a chicken with ribs. You are not a singer. He refused to sign you." "You don't have to hit me like this, right?" "I'm paraphrasing! In fact, I think your voice is very unique, but I just haven't found the right song." "Isn't this nonsense? With the right song, even a dog can become famous!" Wang Jie is considered to be the first generation of this vicissitudes of life singing style, and there seems to be no meal replacement after that. Xiao Chong picked a few noodles with chopsticks, took out a leaflet from his pocket, and said: "Although you can't sign the contract, you have another chance. This show is super popular in Hong Kong. It's up to you. Just decide to go. Tell me and I'll pay for your travel expenses." He patted Wang Jie on the shoulder, threw down a bowl of noodles and left. Wang Jie took a look and saw that it was the advertisement for this year's "The Voice of Asia". The selection scope was expanded to include Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and European and American Chinese. Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, his daughter asked, "Dad, what are you looking at?" "Nothing, hurry up and eat some noodles!" "oh!" His daughter continued to eat, and Wang Jie continued to stare at the flyer while eating. The night was flowing on the streets of Taipei, and a couple talked about the "new movie", "taking the wrong bus", "I heard that Mr. Zombie is very good-looking, and I look forward to it being released soon" and so on, from Lu Side stalls passed by. Not far away, there are feasting and high-end nightclubs, with wealthy businessmen and celebrities coming in and out. It is a good time for Taiwan's economy. … "Bang!" Wang Yingxiang, the boss of Longxiang Pictures, opened a bottle of wine, poured it for Zhuang Cheng, and raised his glass: "I used to cooperate with New Art City, but New Art City closed down. I am grateful to Mr. Zhuang for the meal. I wish " "Mr. Zombie" is a hit! "The Wrong Ride" is a hit!" "cheers!" On the soft leather sofa in a half circle, seven or eight dancing ladies were sitting, with Zhuang Cheng as the distinguished guest in the middle. Wang Yingxiang is a veteran film dealer in Taiwan. Now China Film Group is the only one. After Taiwan lifted the ban, he developed rapidly and became one of the eight major film companies, investing in many Hong Kong films. After the mainland was opened to the outside world, a film called "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters" was also produced, starring Chen Kun, Vivian Hsu, and Li Bingbing. Then he disappeared. Taiwan is a far bigger place, and the entire eight major businesses need as much water as possible. But at that time, it was indeed a matter of influence. Zhuang Cheng drank a drink and said, "'Mr. Zombie' will definitely be a big hit, so will 'The Wrong Ride'?" "Taiwanese audiences love to watch this kind of cries about girls! I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about directors like Yu Kanping. They can't make commercial films, they only make this kind of movies, but the audience still likes them. What's the point?" "I don't know much about it. I just responded to the call of Chairman Tong and the Information Bureau to fund a Mandarin film." "You made the right bet! Don't worry about the Golden Horse Awards, I'm very familiar with it, and our good brothers will help you run it!" "Thank you very much. It's good to win an award."
"Actually, it's very obvious!" Wang Yingxiang gave some advice and said: "Xinyi City has partnered with Sylvia Chang, and the film can be produced, which is very important to the Information Bureau. Who would have thought that the silver-like pewter gun head died all of a sudden." You win the Golden Horse Award first, make a few more blockbuster movies, and then I will help you move around and show your face in the Information Bureau. From now on, everything will go smoothly and we will make a fortune together. " "Oh? Can I see Director Song?" "That's a bit difficult. Ordinary officials are enough. Don't worry about your jokes. In recent years, life has been difficult under the influence of the CCP. One-third of Hong Kong's good films cannot be imported. We also make little money. We can only watch the CCP show off its power and show off its power. To be admonished, this is a good opportunity for a rising star." "Thanks for the advice, I'll toast you too!" Zhuang Cheng drank another drink. "Mr. Zombie" and "The Wrong Ride" were both sold to Wang Yingxiang. This time they came to promote the release of "The Wrong Ride". He found this situation extremely exciting and risky. If he was discovered, it would be no joke. But from the moment he agreed to do this to someone, he was betting on his life. Seeing the upcoming release of "The Wrong Ride" and the series of things that may happen next, he couldn't help but tremble, and at the same time he was excited, feeling that he could even leave a mark in film history.
