Chapter 329

Everything is difficult at the beginning. The first singer should use one with higher fame. Fok Lao shook his head. This little Wei is still too young.

He looked at his son Timothy Fok, meaning to ask him to raise the sign later. At least he couldn't be a dud at the beginning.

Jin Yong looked at Hai Xia Meng and her husband diagonally in front. In terms of financial resources, he was stronger than them. Ma Xiaowei arranged it improperly, it is estimated that it will be a dud, it is his turn to perform.

Cheung Ming-man walked onto the stage in a suit, upright. The painting style is different from the current popular singers, relatively traditional.

His ancestral home is Quanzhou, Fujian. He studied in Guangzhou when he was young, and developed in Hong Kong after graduation. It can be said that he can speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and Minnan, but he chose the track of Mandarin.

Initially, Wei Ming asked him how his Minnan language was. After Cheung Ming-man said no problem, Wei Ming took out a piece of paper from his collection of works and handed it to him.

"Then sing this one."

Tonight Cantonese songs are the home court, but Mandarin songs and Minnan songs cannot be missing. Although this song can also be sung in Mandarin, Minnan is the most flavorful.

"Temporary frustration doesn't need to sigh / Temporary down and out doesn't need to be afraid / Why lose hope / Drunk and confused every day..."

In front of the TV, many viewers expressed after hearing it: What is this, gibberish, can't understand.

But there were also many viewers who felt very kind after hearing it, and surprised light burst out in their eyes. Hometown sound!

Fujian has been the main force of Chinese going to sea since ancient times. Overseas Chinese from Fujian account for a considerable proportion. Even in Hong Kong, descendants of Fujian people can account for one-sixth of the total population, which is nearly one million people.

These people usually listen to Cantonese songs or Mandarin songs, and rarely hear excellent songs in their hometown language. Even if there are, the quality is relatively uneven, and they are basically music from Taiwan.

For this group of people, "Striving to Win" is not only kind, but also of extremely high quality.

Especially when singing "Three points are destined by heaven / Seven points rely on hard work / Striving to win," those descendants of Fujian people who are struggling in Hong Kong in front of the TV all sang along.

Even if they are not Fujian people, they understood the meaning of this sentence, and felt that the lyrics were really written well, especially those who have truly experienced entrepreneurship.

And in the VIP seats of the stadium, these big shots, except for some who inherited it, most of them didn't go so smoothly. The lyrics of "Striving to Win" struck their hearts directly. This is simply a true portrayal of their own entrepreneurial journey!

Run Run Shaw thought of his and his third brother's bumpy road of opening up the film market in Nanyang, and then killing back to Hong Kong. There was also a lot of intrigue and brothers fighting among themselves.

And 63-year-old Pao Yue-kong, he is from Ningbo, originally had a decent job in Shanghai, later came to Hong Kong because of the war, started to engage in import and export trade, and only reached the peak of his life at the age of 60. The middle was not smooth, and he also had "temporary frustration doesn't need to sigh / temporary down and out doesn't need to be afraid."

But doing business, it's like this, "sometimes up, sometimes down." This song simply sang into the hearts of all entrepreneurs. Even the barrier of dialect seemed not so important at this moment.

After a song, the whole scene erupted with warm applause and cheers. Most of the Cantonese song audience at the scene felt the uniqueness of Minnan songs for the first time and felt that it was endless.

After a song, they all remembered the sentence "Three points are destined by heaven, seven points rely on hard work, striving to win."

Cheung Ming-man bowed to express his gratitude. Listening to the feedback at the scene, he knew that he might be about to usher in the most important representative work of his life.

Wei Ming: This is just where it is.

In front of the TV.

Lin Lin Zhenqiang was clapping, Lin Lin Yanni asked James Wong with a smile: "Convinced or not."

"Convinced of what, I said the next Cantonese song is not necessarily so strong, this is not a Cantonese song," Old Huang played rogue, "Watch TV, watch TV."

At the scene, Liza Wang and Teddy Robin went on stage to cue the process.

Liza Wang: "It's simply too wonderful. This song is not only a symbol of the Minnan spirit, but also written for all strivers. As long as we work hard enough, there will always be a day to win!"

Teddy Robin held a small wooden hammer: "Yes, next it depends on which boss can win."

The camera gave to the VIP seats, Liza Wang smiled: "Please don't hesitate anymore."

Timothy Fok and Jin Yong were just about to make a move. In the VIP seat next door, a relatively unfamiliar man shouted: "I donate 100,000."

Hearing 100,000, Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung shrank their necks. These rich people, that's 100,000!

At this time, the salary of a first-line star for a movie is only 100,000 to 300,000. Of course, Jackie Chan is a bit different, he is much higher, but wouldn't it be good to buy a watch with 100,000.

Liza Wang, who was familiar with all the VIP names, smiled and introduced this Mr. Xu Xu Rongmao.

He is a new immigrant who came to Hong Kong from the mainland in the past few years. He is young and also from Quanzhou, Fujian. His future achievements will be very high. Now he is just a small person. 100,000 is already a large sum of money for him.

However, he liked this song too much, it struck his heart, and as the first person to shout a price, it could be considered as advertising for himself and his company.

Next is silence, no one added price. Xu Xu Rongmao's heart sank. It seems that this money really has to be paid.

At this time, Teddy Robin waved the small hammer: "100,000 once..."

"500,000."

Hiss, the donation directly doubled five times. The one who made the offer this time was Fok Ying-tung. He directly bypassed his son and called the price himself.

Honestly, he was moved by this song. Ma Xiaowei's evening party is indeed full of sincerity.

For a Sichuan that has nothing to do with everyone, 500,000 is not a small number, it is already giving enough face.

However, Pao Yue-kong directly shouted to 1 million.

"Hiss, 1 million!" Gong Ying took a breath of A Long, and the comic apprentices next to them were not calm either. If this was given to them, what comics would they draw.

A Long was very calm: "After all, this is a song written by A Ming. It's normal for him to have a song worth a million. If I say, the first song should have been charged."

However, there are people outside people, and heaven outside heaven. As soon as Pao Yue-kong's voice fell, he heard a voice with a Minnan accent: "5 million."

Now even Raymond Wong followed "hiss." The feeling of having money is so cool!

5 million completely exceeded the psychological bottom line of the wealthy people tonight. Just playing, it's too much.

Everyone looked at this person in unison. The one who shouted 5 million was the Malaysian hotel king and sugar king Robert Kuok.

58-year-old Robert Kuok is from Fuzhou, Fujian. At this time, he is investing in the construction of the Shangri-La Hotel in Hong Kong, came to see it, and was invited by the branch.

Mr. Kuok is also very close to the mainland. In the 70s, he also secretly helped the mainland buy scarce materials. In '78, he invested in Hangzhou to build the first Shangri-La Hotel in China. The Golden Dragon brand familiar to later generations also belongs to him.

Usually this person is very frugal. He has a hotel group, but usually only stays in ordinary rooms when staying in his own hotel, but he is not ambiguous about doing charity.

This time he didn't plan to play so big, thinking that 1 or 2 million would be enough, but as a Fujian descendant, he was a bit carried away after hearing this song. He even wanted to use "Three points are destined by heaven, seven points rely on hard work, striving to win" as the company's corporate culture. This song fits Min merchants perfectly.

No one competed with him anymore, and the hammer was closed.

Cheung Ming-man bowed again to express his gratitude. 5 million, can save many people. He knew his credit was not great, mainly because A Ming's song was too moving.

Teddy Robin: "Next, what does Mr. Kuok want Cheung Ming-man to sing?"

Now Robert Kuok was embarrassed. He didn't know Cheung Ming-man well, and didn't know what he would sing.

So he said: "Can you sing this 'Striving to Win' again?"

The audience at the scene applauded one after another to support, not enough to listen to!

Didn't expect it to be this situation, Cheung Ming-man sang it again readily, two songs 5 million in hand.

After Cheung Ming-man left the stage, Teddy Robin said: "The next song is powerful, it was created by me and Wei Ming together."

Carol Cheng: "Oh?"

Teddy Robin said: "This song is the theme song of the TV series 'Fist of Fury' which is about to be broadcast on Rediffusion. I composed it, A Ming wrote the lyrics, named 'The Great Wall Never Falls,' performed by Yip Chun-tong, Director Siu Ming Tsui, and actor Leung Siu-lung together. Let's welcome them with applause."

When Mona Fong heard this introduction, she was a bit angry. Can this segment be cut off when broadcasting on TVB? You have the guts to promote Rediffusion's drama on our TVB!

However, Run Run Shaw looked indifferent. If he promotes, can't I?

The three old men went on stage in unison, and opened their mouths to be deafening.

"Sleeping for a hundred years, the people are gradually waking up / Open your eyes and look carefully / Who is willing to admit being a subject / Because of shrinking and forbearance / People's arrogance is growing day by day..."

Although most Hong Kong viewers had never seen the Great Wall, the Great Wall as a cultural symbol had been deeply imprinted in our blood and became a spiritual totem.

Listening to this song, as long as there is still a trace of patriotism in the heart, it is difficult not to be enthusiastic.

In the auditorium, Shi Hui and Fu Qi, who brought their daughter Fu Mingxian, were so enthusiastic that their faces were red, and they even wanted to stand up and sing along.

What a "How can we let the motherland be trampled again / This sleeping lion is gradually waking up," worthy of being a great talent from the mainland, writing such a good spirit of Chinese men!

Hong Kong had also been trampled by the Japanese army, and the people of Hong Kong also understood the importance of a powerful country, and also hoped that this male lion would wake up as soon as possible to protect Hong Kong's peace and contentment, so many film and television works in Hong Kong during this period were rich in patriotic themes.

After listening to this song, millions of viewers in front of the TV were full of expectations for the upcoming TV series. Just to listen to this theme song, they had to turn on Rediffusion every day.

Run Run Shaw had a feeling that something was wrong. Looking at Mona Fong, which one was the one that TVB was fighting against "Fist of Fury"?

Angie Chiu in the VIP seats indicated: It's "Flying Eagle" with Adam Cheng and me, but I am willing to lose to Yuen Bun's "Fist of Fury."

If it weren't for the first bidder shouting 1 million, she would have wanted to support it.

The eldest son of the Tung shipping tycoon shouted 1 million, and then Pao Yue-kong topped it to 2 million, making them mess around like this, feeling that the starting price must be 1 million.

Joseph Lau kept turning around on several female stars, very wanting to participate, but 1 or 2 million, how many fans do I have to sell, forget it, forget it.

Li Ka-shing looked at his 17-year-old eldest son Victor Li: "Do you think we should follow."

At this time, Victor Li had already obtained the admission qualification of Stanford University, and Li Ka-shing began to treat him as an adult.

Victor Li was still hesitating, 15-year-old Richard Li said directly: "It's not buying land, why follow so fiercely." At this time, Victor Li said: "This charity concert will definitely trigger a huge response in the two sides and three places, and will even be talked about in later generations. If we want to open up the mainland market, we might as well call the highest price tonight. I think we can wait."

Li Ka-shing nodded with satisfaction, then wait.

At this time, Lee Shau-kee, the father of Lee Ka-shing, shouted to 3 million, and then Fok Lao reached 5 million.

5 million again, at this magnitude, unless it's someone who is particularly fond of being carried away, that's about it.

Finally, Fok Lao successfully won this game and ordered a "Drama Life" by Yip Chun-tong.

This is an insert song of the Rediffusion TV series "The Big Chase" last year, composed by Teddy Robin, lyrics by Lo Kwok-chim.

The fourth one to go on stage was Jenny Tseng, born in Macau, with obvious mixed-race features.

Although Jenny Tseng didn't have works like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The World is Always Good" yet, she was also the second sister of the Hong Kong music scene after Paula Tsui, with excellent singing skills and known as the Iron Lung Diva.

Some time ago, she also won the Golden Bell Award for Best Female Singer in Taiwan. The last one to win this was Teresa Teng.

Now Jenny Tseng is preparing to start a music label by herself, and is happy to cooperate with a great talent like Wei Ming.

And this song Wei Ming gave her is named "Like an Old Friend Coming," adding a little bit of sentiment after the grand narrative.

"Passing by together / Dreaming together / Should have been a pair / People don't feel it in their youth dreams / Wake up and want to return..."

This is Anita Mui's representative work, lyrics by Albert Leung, composed by Lo Ta-yu, belonging to the King Bomb combination. Leung Wai-man, a student at HKU who is watching TV at home at this time, only feels that his luck has been taken away again.

"Hate the intimacy on stage / Or the me and you off stage / It's not me and you / The world is vast and the will of heaven is vast / Separating you and me / Broken intestines point by point, wind and rain sound continuously / Like an old friend coming..."

The most enthusiastic reaction in the VIP seats naturally belongs to Jenny Tseng's husband, Alexander Fu. He is a disciple of Chang Cheh and a popular martial arts star now.

And he is also a second-generation wealthy person. His father, Cheung Yan-lung, is a famous wealthy merchant and also has a certain status in politics. He thought that if no one supported the scene later, he would shout 1 million to support his wife.

However, he was obviously worried too much. With Jenny Tseng's popularity and the quality of this song, some young waist-level wealthy merchants and second-generation young masters responded one after another, shouting from 500,000 all the way to 2 million.

When Philip Ma's sister Ma Ma Jingyi called to 2 million, it stopped.

Then Peter Lam shouted "3 million!"

The Lam father and son didn't sit together. Lim Por-yen was stunned. Only then did he know that the little rabbit cub also came. But 3 million is 3 million. After all, it's for charity, not for picking up girls, and their family's real estate rent is hundreds of millions every year now, it's wet and broken.

However, when 3 million was shouted for the third time, a person named Albert Yeung added 3.1 million. Liza Wang immediately introduced this Mr. Yeung from Emperor Watch and Jewelry.

Now Albert Yeung has begun to enter the real estate industry, with a net worth of over 100 million, which can be considered a representative of young and promising.

Peter Lam looked, where did this little shrimp come from, only added 100,000. At this moment, the two bosses of Emperor Entertainment and Media Asia in later generations met in advance.

So Peter Lam called to 3.5 million, and Albert Yeung added 3.6 million. Grinding and grinding, it actually ground to 5.5 million, Peter Lam shouted.

Only then did he wake up suddenly, he actually shouted higher than the two big shots, and Albert Yeung finally chose to give up. His family background was not as thick as the Lam family.

On the other side, several big shots joked: "Your son has courage and knowledge."

Lim Por-yen could only respond with a smile: "It's all for charity, it should be."

If he could get a charity head name today, 5.5 million is worth it.

Wei Ming drank tea backstage. These second generations are worth inviting. Second generations are more willing to spend money.

However, later, the overseas student Peter Lam ordered a "Moonlight Shadow" for Jenny Tseng to sing.

Jenny Tseng naturally had no problem. She could sing English songs, Mandarin songs, and Cantonese songs. So Wei Ming's first English representative work appeared in advance.

Song Duanwu next to him said excitedly to Wei Ming: "Teacher Wei, this is already more than 15 million!"

Even if they stop now, they can explain it to the country, and this has already exceeded Wei Ming's initial expectations. But since the scene effect is so good, he simply raised the expectation again.

After Jenny Tseng, Roman Tam appeared, a "How Many Times Wind and Rain."

"Silently leaning against the window and gazing / The rain is urgent and chaotic / Like a madman full of depression / Scolding with boredom"

"Slowly exhaling smoke rings and looking back / Past fragments / How many times wind and rain have I passed / Standing to the present"

"Who has no pain in life / Gains and losses are inevitable / Seeing through the world, every kind of wind and rain / Hitting my face..."

When hearing this, the hair of the audience at the scene exploded. Today Roman Tam didn't dress up demonically. He calmly sang such a song of a person who has come over with his super high singing skills.

Wei Ming took out this representative work of Roman Tam's middle and late period five years in advance, and he still performed it perfectly.

In fact, this song is a Korean original song from 4 years later. That's right, Hong Kong music not only adapts Japanese songs, but also Korean songs.

The viewers in front of the TV were tearful, some turned off the TV and walked out of the house.

On the hillside near Zhengmin Village behind the stadium, a group of people who didn't buy tickets had gathered.

Although it was not as clear as on TV, this sense of presence was more refreshing. And it has to be said, the sound effect was really good. You could hear the singing very clearly in the village.

In the past, when the stadium held concerts, everyone complained, but now the villagers, and even people from outside, ran over to listen to songs. Many people held binoculars in their hands, and the villagers could take the opportunity to sell some drinks and mineral water.

Many people felt that concerts of this level might not be too many, and it might be rebroadcast on TV, but the scene might be just this once.

Now many people regretted why they didn't buy tickets, why they didn't grit their teeth in the face of scalper tickets.

Beard Brave was like this. If he had known, he would have grabbed it directly. Now he can only watch the concert with binoculars. Although he couldn't be considered middle-aged yet, the people in the Jianghu felt that they had also experienced several wind and rain.

In the VIP seats, 31-year-old Walter Kwok smiled. This Mr. Wei Ming is indeed a talent of heaven, and these songs are all pointing to the hearts of the uncles. Who can bear not to spend money, and spend it willingly.

He saw Uncle Fung King-hey next to him even with moist eyes.

Back then, Walter Kwok's father, Kwok Tak-seng, and two little brothers, Fung King-hey and Lee Shau-kee, started Sun Hung Kai together. Although they parted ways later, the feelings didn't dissipate. Fung King-hey's securities company still used the name Sun Hung Kai.

Finally, this song raised 4 million in donations from Fung King-hey. Roman Tam sang a "Under the Lion Rock" which could almost represent the Hong Kong spirit, again leading the whole audience to sing along.

Several music big shots brought the scene to heat, and finally, the younger generation began to appear.

First is Leslie Cheung, only 25 years old this year, mixing in both music and film, but mixing generally. However, because he is handsome, he has a certain status in the hearts of young girls.

He, plus Danny Chan who is more popular than him, and Chung Po-law who is not as good as him, are called the "Three Princes of Central," all young, handsome, and with a little money at home.

For Leslie Cheung, walking the old path of predecessors in singing is obviously not feasible, so he must find another way, such as singing and dancing.

Now the song Wei Ming took out for him is a heavyweight representative work that made him a superstar in the Hong Kong music scene.

The dynamic and fashionable music at the beginning made people feel that the painting style was completely different from the previous ones, and there were backup dancers.

"You loved me in the past without any regard / Sacrificing a lifetime of youth to give me glory / Thank you so much for changing me one day, silently dedicating / Tender feelings often make my heart feel guilty..."

There were also Leslie Cheung's fans at the scene. Once they heard it, they felt very catchy, and their bodies couldn't help but twist with the melody. After all, it is a Japanese original song, and the dynamic part is indeed done well.

Coming, coming, Wei Ming backstage listened excitedly to the next sentence.

"Thanks thanks thanks thanks Melinda / Who can replace your status!"

That's right, this song is called "Melinda." Sarah heard this English lyric and touched Melinda.

"Yo, it's written for you."

Melinda smiled slightly, adding a bell for Leonardo at night. It's a pity that they no longer have unlocked postures.

And A Min, who was listening to this song, continued to be sour. Still "Who can replace your status," sure enough, cuteness is worthless in front of sexiness.

What everyone was most worried about was letting Leslie Cheung follow Roman Tam, would it be cold?

Now it seems that it will not be at all. The audience at the scene is still dominated by young people. This song is very much to the taste of young people, and the heat at the scene has a feeling of going up to a higher level.

As Leslie Cheung's mentor, Michael Lai on the side of the stage was excited. He didn't bring A Rong out, but now Wei Ming did it.

After this song, A Rong can finally break out of the music scene!

However, it's useless for young people to like it. The real ones who can take out millions are the old guys.

So this song by Leslie Cheung was called from 500,000 all the way to 1.2 million, and then it couldn't rise anymore. Ma Ma Jingyi, the sister of Carol Cheng's ex-husband Philip Ma, "won the bid."

At this time, the big sister Ruan Xingzhu, who was not yet thirty, was already very charming. She didn't know Leslie Cheung's previous songs well, but she might be his fan in the future. She let Leslie Cheung play by himself.

Leslie Cheung also really didn't have any representative works now, so he sang a friend Danny Chan's "Dreaming of You Last Night," and smoothly introduced the next singer Danny Chan.

And after Danny Chan went on stage, he first locked onto the youthful and beautiful Pansy Ho in the VIP seats~

(January 10000 monthly tickets, 11000 monthly tickets update, January finally cleared the account, the minimum guarantee will be updated later)
