Movie tycoon

Chapter 695
For the next three days, Chen Xiaotang put all his energy into writing songs for Mike, not to mention, in less than a day, he had already written all three songs.

However, Chen Xiaotang did not stop writing, but was thinking about whether he should make another album.After all, he is also very popular in the Hollywood music scene now, why not strike while the iron is hot?
It is Chen Xiaotang's habit to do it as soon as he thinks about it, so he started to compose songs for himself as if he was writing.

Relying on memory, Chen Xiaotang first wrote two songs, one is the first theme song of the Oscar movie "When a Man Loves a Woman" "When Men and Women Love", and the other is the theme song of the movie "The Age of Innocence". ".In his previous life, Chen Xiaotang liked these two songs the most, especially when he was drunk, he liked to yell at the many wild mandarin ducks outside the university, "When a man loves a woman", the tone was as sad as it said.

However, these two songs are still not enough. If you want to release a good solo album, you need at least a dozen songs.

Chen Xiaotang was too lazy to use his brain, and directly translated the old Hong Kong classic love songs into English to "fill the numbers", including Zheng Zhongji's "Lovesickness Is Useless", "A Dilemma", and "Your Eyes Betray Your Heart", etc. .

It is said that Zheng Zhongji was the successor of Zhang Xueyou, who was known as the "God of Songs" back then. Both his voice and singing skills are top-notch, and he is far behind the contemporary singers by half a block.But just when everyone thought he was going to develop in the music industry for a long time, the Hong Kong music industry encountered an ice age, and the recession of records made this future singer have to go another way and start making movies.

At the beginning, I played a few tricks and played some insignificant punks~ punks, calling it "electric shock".But gradually, the director discovered his latent talent for comedy, especially when Zhou Xingchi had been in childbirth for many years and was on the pace of new films.Zheng Zhongji's exaggerated body language and comedic acting style just satisfied the wishes of many viewers who like comedy films.

Ever since, the original successor of "God of Songs" became the successor of "King of Comedy" in the blink of an eye.

He starred in the "Longwei" series, "Victory Box" and "Mr. 3 Minutes" all well received, especially in "Pulp Comedy" in which he acted as a supporting role, he showed his personal performance style to the fullest. As for winning the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, it can be said that the limelight is the same for a while.

Due to the smooth development of the film industry, the successor of the song god directly shifted his focus from singing to acting, which met the requirements of the majority of movie fans, but made the majority of fans who like him wait unceasingly.

Chen Xiaotang is one of the fans of this guy, so now he will not hesitate to bring out these favorite songs and stuff them into his album.

Looking back, when Chen Xiaotang handed over the three songs for repaying favors to Mike, he said that he was going to release a record album again, which made Mike startled, "I said, buddy, you won't target me, I'm about to What about releasing an album, but you came up with this trick?"

Chen Xiaotang smiled wryly, "I really don't know this, or should I postpone it?"

"Don't, buddy, I'm kidding you. I'm more important than quality. Now I only have three songs that you wrote for me. How embarrassing to take them out... You should go first and try for me too. Water, I haven't released a record for a long time, and I don't know how deep it is outside..."

Seeing that Mike was making such a joke, Chen Xiaotang did not refuse, and said with a smile: "Well, I will act as a pawn and help you test the water first."

After talking about this, Mike couldn't help but asked Chen Xiaotang about the acquisition of Japan's Sony Music.

Chen Xiaotang didn't expect him to be so caring, so he simply said that he sent someone to investigate Sony's internal and external financial situation.

Mike nodded, "That's the right thing to do. You Chinese have a saying called...Know yourself and the enemy and you can win a hundred battles...I remember correctly, right? It means to find out the opponent's background, right...Haha, let's figure out the little one now." The details of Japan, and then kick their ass hard!"

Seeing Mike's excited look, Chen Xiaotang really doubted whether this guy was too stressed and had restlessness.

Anyway, with the help of the king of heaven, Mike, Chen Xiaotang's latest solo album "Blizzard" has finally been produced and is about to be released.

There is also a small episode in this, when Mike listened to Chen Xiaotang's album sample, his first reaction was that this guy is too selfish, he stuffed all the good songs into his album!
Compared to the three songs that Chen Xiaotang helped him write, they couldn't compare at all.

In fact, Chen Xiaotang basically wrote lyrical songs for himself, and all of them were explosive dance songs for Mike, which is also in line with Mike's status as a dancing king.However, in terms of the meaning of the songs, lyrical songs are inherently more connotative than hard dance music.

This is like the difference between a literary film and a kung fu film. The connotation of a literary film can never be achieved by a kung fu film. Even if a master like Wang Jiawei in his previous life spent ten years of hard work on creating a "Grandmaster" in the end, his reputation will be polarized. No seat.

Anyway, just when Hollywood and the world were about to forget the films made by Chen Xiaotang, Chen Xiaotang's latest solo album was finally released.

A total of [-] posters have been produced for the album "Blizzard", which is very strong and unprecedented.The first six models have a total of [-] copies, [-] for North America, [-] each for Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea.

There are twelve models left, each with a new song, and a poster is only [-], a total of [-]!
The [-] limited edition posters are all signed by Chen Xiaotang, which is what every fan wants to get. The price is not high, but the black market price is very high!
It is very interesting that many products, posters and various products related to Chen Xiaotang are almost limited edition, although the price is not too high.However, it is not easy to buy it!
Especially with these [-] styles, only [-] pieces are made in the world!
Of course, these posters are not the purpose, the purpose is to build the peak classic status of Chen Xiaotang's album in all aspects.For this reason, it also cooperated with a watch company to make 1000 two hundred special watches.Of course, dolls are still indispensable, even if these dolls are all limited editions this time.

Speaking of limited edition, one cannot fail to mention that Moying Entertainment released Chen Xiaotang an absolute classic vinyl record of the highest quality last year.A total of only 3000 copies of this record were made to celebrate the [-]th anniversary of Chen Xiaotang's debut.These vinyl records have been sold soaring outside, and it is still difficult to buy them. Now their prices have soared by more than five times.

"Blizzard" is the title of the album, but it is also the title of one of the songs.

This song is definitely Chen Xiaotang's original, there is no reference or copying of other people's songs.And when writing this song, Chen Xiaotang Yuanyang heard the opinions of Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui, the "two brilliant saints" in the Hong Kong music scene, and then asked for the advice of Michael Jackson, the king around him, and made many changes to the melody and lyrics. After polishing, it was created with great painstaking efforts.

It can be said that Chen Xiaotang played his highest level in this song. Love, family affection and friendship are all included in it. It expresses that the world and love are just moments, and people should try to pay more attention to life!
In the MV of this song, there is a set of scenes where Chen Xiaotang drove to the hospital to see his mother for the last time in a snowstorm night.It was only because I was delayed for a while to rescue a car that had an accident on the road, but I didn't see my mother!
All fans know that "Blizzard" is not only Chen Xiaotang's expression of the world, but also a cry of true love in the world, just like the lyrics sang: "On a snowstorm night, you can't stop; even if you can't see the vastness ahead , I will always believe that love knows no bounds..."

The most important thing in this song is eternity after an instant explosion. In order to achieve this, Chen Xiaotang burst out a singing voice that shocked everyone's hearts in an instant with the most refined voice, and then continued to sing with his unique singing method. Go on forever!
The introduction of this song is very simple: Cherish everyone around you, don't wait until you lose it to regret it!

The promotion of this album is not simple: "Rafi Chen, the most perfect album so far. Top-notch interpretation and creation..."

In Asia, Li Zongsheng, who is hidden as the number one Chinese music critic in Hong Kong and Taiwan, commented: "Chen Xiaotang previously had a Chinese album "Flastic", this English album "Blizzard" is a huge improvement from the conception of the lyrics to the interpretation. If In the past, Chen Xiaotang was just a high-spirited 'flashy boy', but now he is a 'storm man' full of mature charm. His singing voice presents this change, and also presents the change of mentality!"

"The sound of nature, Lafite Chen beat all the singers this year with one song..." The New York Daily exclaimed in the form of "Rise of the Dragon".

"If there is perfection in the world, then I firmly believe that Lafite's "Blizzard" is perfection!" This is another newspaper's comment, obviously deeply obsessed with Chen Xiaotang's music.

"As an unswerving supporter of English. This is the first time, and probably the last time I remind everyone. This "Blizzard" by Lafite Chen has left many authentic English albums far behind... No matter what, we can experience the floating love from the lyrics and the melody, the omnipresent love, that is the most perfect song!" A Hollywood music critic who has always been a big name had to publicly admit his failure.

"Blizzard" is perfect as a song and perfect as an album.Especially apart from Chen Xiaotang's original song, he borrowed from his previous life two songs "When a Man and a Woman Love Each other" and "Affection Outside the Heart", which were warmly welcomed by North American fans.

You know, these two songs are almost classics among Oscar movie songs, they best represent the love between men and women, and they are also most in line with the tastes of European and American fans.Therefore, some Hollywood commentators exclaimed: "Oh God, this is impossible! When we listened to these two songs, our first reaction was that Rafi Chen should be a native American! Because he has such perfect Creative depth!"

A "Blizzard" moved the whole world.Moved the whole world with endless love.If there could only be one album in 1986, it would have to be Blizzard!
It would be fine if only the above three songs were excellent, but what is even more unbelievable is that almost all of Chen Xiaotang's albums are excellent.

"Lovesickness Is Useless" tells the story of a man who has suffered from lovesickness, facing the girl he likes, but can only foolishly fall in love with him secretly, but dare not tell.Until later, the girl became someone else's wife. Looking back, he understood that when true love comes, he should grab it, otherwise, lovesickness is useless.

"Dilemma", this song is wonderfully interpreted as a realistic song.One side is friendship, the other side is love, in the middle of the two, are you also in a dilemma?Life is so short, whether love or friendship is more important, this kind of discussion is thought-provoking.Especially when Chen Xiaotang sang this song, he made a very detailed comparison of the scenes where men drink beer to communicate with each other, and men and women drink red wine to communicate with each other. The MV shot was chosen to be shot at the location of the song "Hotel California" that everyone is familiar with, which made North American audiences resonate with nostalgia...

"Your Eyes Betray Your Heart", needless to say the story of this song, the title alone is already a very good "one-sentence story".The point is that Chen Xiaotang, the MV for this song, ingeniously invited the queen Madonna to co-star with him.

In Chen Xiaotang's view, Madonna, who has the potential to be a slut, is the most suitable for playing this kind of flamboyant female role who is easy to betray men.And Madonna really lived up to expectations, boldly showing her sexy, charming and seductive side in the MV. When she turned her back to everyone, her pair of jade legs were completely naked~, and then she bent down and slowly took off the thong, which is enough to make many male fans Nosebleeds; what's more, she and Chen Xiaotang also had a lingering emotional scene lying on the bed, in which the frequent eye seduction was even more ecstasy, so many fans regarded this MV as a rare novel "Movie" to see.

There are twelve songs, each of which can be called a classic, which is the characteristic of the new era.If it were changed before, these twelve songs and some ordinary songs can definitely be made into twelve albums, and they can still be sold well.However, it's different now. What all singers pay attention to is no longer quantity, but quality.

However, it is unique that it can be as strong as this album.No company is willing to do this, including Specter.If it wasn't for Chen Xiaotang's desire to help him establish a peak and monument, this album could have been made into three albums, and they can also be sold at a high price.

Twelve songs, or as magnificent as "Blizzard".Or such as "When a Man and a Woman Are in Love" has become an eternal classic, with an unprecedented boldness.Or such as "Affection Outside the Heart", which is sad and moving.Or such as "Lovesickness is Useless" is tactful and delicate.Or as in "A Dilemma", Chen Xiaotang's soliloquy singing method is quite the essence of Western opera.There is also no lack of "Your Eyes Betray Your Heart" and other artistic conceptions full of oriental style.

This is a perfect album, a classic that Chen Xiaotang himself can hardly surpass.Only a top superstar in the world like him can have such a magnanimity and make such an excellent work.

This is not the only record that Chen Xiaotang broke.It is even more impossible for him to build a monument of just a little bit. He created a legend that several songs were on the charts in the same period. The charts of all sizes in the world are filled with Chen Xiaotang's new songs. The song "Blizzard" even created TV, radio, and newspapers. The miracle of three consecutive championships selected by the three media left many original English albums far behind.

Especially as a Chinese, a Hong Kong star who has only been working hard in Hollywood for less than a year, Chen Xiaotang's explosive energy once again made the North American singer who had underestimated him no longer underestimate him.

Even our Pop King Mike secretly sighed, dammit, this Lafite is too capable, fortunately we released the film together with him, otherwise it would be a shame!
Within a month of its release, the album "Blizzard" achieved success. It sold over one million copies in North America, becoming a well-deserved diamond record; Breaking through 500 million, setting a record for the highest record of Chinese singers in history, and then becoming the most sold super diamond record in history, an insurmountable peak.

Who else is qualified to challenge his position?
King Mike?

Diva Madonna?
Maybe they are still the pinnacle of the pinnacle now, but in the future, no one can say for sure...

And those critics who are known as the judges of the music industry gave different evaluations to Chen Xiaotang's impressive record record.

Dove critics: "This "Blizzard" has brought fresh blood into the Hollywood music scene, and its impressive sales performance also shows the amazing talent of Lafite Chen. If we say that China has the Great Wall and the Terracotta Warriors Well, now we have to add one more, that is Rafi Chen’s record! Yes, he is a miracle, a miracle from the far east! As for what kind of surprises he can bring to us in the future, Why don't we wait and see?"

The hawkish commentator said, "God bless America, but our poor music scene is being captured by outsiders. This is a huge test for us, whether we have the determination and perseverance to drive out this foreign aggressive culture, although , his songs are really good, but I hope everyone thinks about it carefully, every time you buy one of his records, it is equivalent to donating ten dollars to the other party. There are tens of thousands of us Americans. Are we really going to feed tigers? ?!"

Pessimistic critics: "The Chinese dragon successfully countered the Hollywood music scene! When we were still dumbfounded waiting to celebrate Christmas, a star from China slapped us hard again and told us that he can also play here Gotta turn! Yes, he is Lafite Chen from the "Blizzard" album, a Chinese with black eyes and black hair! We American singers are ashamed in front of him, and we have no ability to protect our own record market! If there is a kind of aggression If it is called a record, then there is no doubt that he is invading our territory!"

Optimistic critics: "The United States is a multiracial country that requires continuous cultural integration. However, Lafite Chen's "Blizzard" gave us a good opportunity to integrate cultures. Especially the truth, goodness and beauty embodied in his songs are exactly We believe in the purpose that God advocates. True love is everywhere, just like the love in the song knows no bounds!"
