Chapter 438
A-Min, just give it to me. I, I can't wait!
Wei Ming felt that what A-Min said were all his own lines. Could it be because she didn't like Mandarin songs like "Pink Memories" very much?
When this song was first born, it was very popular on the mainland. It could be considered a phenomenal work. As soon as it was released, it easily broke one million, and Li Lingyu's cover version also started at one million.
According to the official statistics of the Guangzhou Audio-Visual Publishing House, in the ten years from 1987 to 1997, the cumulative sales of this album exceeded 20 million copies.
Regardless of whether it's true or false, this song did indeed accompany Chen Sicheng's childhood, and he loved it very much.
The little girl had a need, so Wei Ming definitely tried his best to satisfy her.
"Okay, you wait."
Zhou Zhou Huimin didn't urge him, but she also hoped he could write it out as soon as possible, but hoped it wouldn't delay things.
Early the next morning, Wei Ming knocked on the door of Zhou Zhou Huimin's house.
A-Min rubbed her eyes and saw Wei Ming handing over a piece of paper.
"Ah?"
Wei Ming: "It's written. A song for you."
A-Min remembered that A-Ming had written several songs for her before, and they had been given to her one after another in the past two years. Now only "Burning Heart with Fire" was left.
However, after she took it, the name of the song was "Rare Lovers."
"Isn't it "Burning Heart with Fire"?"
Wei Ming: "That is a Mandarin song, and the singing difficulty is relatively high. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it, so I wrote a new song overnight. I'll give you "Burning Heart with Fire" when you are older."
Hearing him say this, Zhou Zhou Huimin lowered her head in shame, feeling that it was she who was being unreasonable. A-Ming was so tired filming during the day, and he still had to stay up late to write songs for her at night. He must have burned out many brain cells, right?
She glanced at her house. Her mother hadn't woken up yet, then pulled Wei Ming into the corridor, hugging him and acting spoiled, and told him: "I won't accompany you to the set today. Anyway, there is Sister Li."
Wei Ming laughed: "Why? Jealous? She is just the producer, but you are my pistachio."
"I'm not jealous at all, because I trust you very much and know you won't mess around."
"Don't give me a 'good person card.' I'm not a good person." Wei Ming said no to the "good person card."
"Anyway, I won't accompany you these two days. I'll still be with Sister Hong."
"That's fine. Next, I'm going to film in a nightclub. I don't want you to go to that kind of place either." Wei Ming nodded and held her small hand. "Alright, go back quickly. Auntie is probably going to wake up."
Zhou Zhou Huimin held the lyrics: "I haven't sung it for you yet."
Wei Ming: "Alright, sing it. I'll give you some pointers."
A few minutes later, A-Min's singing voice rang out in the corridor.
"Like waking up in early spring, urging my heart, I can no longer wait. The years of budding love, empty of infatuation, make people moved..."
This song "Rare Lovers" by Kwan Suk-yee was very suitable for A-Min's style. This was also Kwan Suk-yee's representative work that made her famous, and it was created for her by the famous lyricist Siu-Wai Heung, full of love.
"Sweetly with my lover, flying in the wind, loudly cheering that you have love, not in vain for this life. One 'I do,' one 'I do,' the earth-shattering love has no regrets."
When singing the chorus part, Zhou Zhou Huimin looked at Wei Ming with eyes full of affection, as if covered by a layer of water mist.
And Wei Ming also had a clearer understanding of A-Min's singing ability at this time, almost reaching the strength of her mature period in the later life, and now her breath was long and stable. She had suffered from tuberculosis once because she studied too hard for college, which still had some impact on her singing.
"The bright moon shines on people in the mist, loving and kissing, letting pairs of lovers add sexiness. Some love turns into hate, more love stories are moving, drawing beautiful feelings."
After singing this song, A-Min suddenly stood on tiptoe, and after succeeding, ran back to her house.
Wei Ming laughed, and went downstairs.
A-Min liked this song too much. It was completely tailor-made for her, very consistent with her style, and also consistent with their feelings.
However, "letting pairs of lovers add sexiness," thinking of this line of lyrics, she lowered her neckline in front of the full-length mirror in the room. Hmm, it was still very worth seeing.
After her mother got up, Zhou Zhou Huimin told her, and then went upstairs to find Sister Hong.
Mother Zhou was strange: "Don't have to go to the set today?"
"Even if I go, I can't help much. I'd rather play with Sister Hong."
Mother Zhou thought to herself, this child is not stupid. She knows that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and sister-in-law problems have always been eternal problems. That girl Xu Shufen has a good temper. As long as Wei Hong is handled, this Wei family won't be difficult.
Zhou Zhou Huimin went upstairs and had breakfast at the Wei family, then went out with Wei Hong.
Wei Hong originally intended to go to the Far East Exchange, but Zhou Zhou Huimin said: "Can't we just go when the market closes? Staring at it all day makes no sense. Why don't you go to TVB with me."
"TVB? The TVB that filmed "The Bund"?"
"Right!"
After clarifying her thoughts, Wei Hong said: "Let's go to the trading hall first to see the stock price at the opening in the morning, and then go to see the closing price in the afternoon. The time in between should be enough, right?"
"Hmm, enough, enough!"
Zhou Zhou Huimin said she wanted to participate in TVB's New Talent Singing Awards. Although it was unclear why she wanted to participate in this competition, as a good sister, Xiao Hong was definitely fully supportive.
On the mainland, singers were a very glorious and decent profession. Even Lele from Uncle Ping'an's family dreamed of becoming a singer when she grew up, and the family didn't say they didn't support it.
However, it was completely not the case in Hong Kong. The income of singers was indeed relatively high, but in the end, it was also entertaining others, unless they reached the level of cultural symbols like Jackie Chan in the future.
So Zhou Zhou Huimin felt that her mother definitely wouldn't support her. She could only participate secretly, and wait until the semi-finals to sing a song for A-Ming in front of everyone at the competition site, which could be considered one of the few things she could do for him when she was young.
It just so happened that the new song "Rare Lovers" he wrote for her was very suitable to sing for him, and it must be sung well, so she thought about finding friends in the music scene to study the arrangement after signing up.
As a result, there was a problem with the registration link.
"I'm sorry, we already closed registration yesterday. The preliminary test will be held tomorrow. You are late."
Apparently, the staff didn't recognize Zhou Zhou Huimin, who sang "First Love."
A-Min didn't want to expose her identity, but she didn't want to go through the back door even more, entering through Li Yuan Xiaotian's relationship, so she said: "Anyway, the competition is tomorrow. It shouldn't matter if you add me today, and I sing very well. There is a song called "First Love" that I sang."
"First Love? Why don't you say your name is Zhou Zhou Huimin?"
Zhou Zhou Huimin immediately handed over her ID: "Hello, my name is Zhou Zhou Huimin."
Staff: "..."
Soon the staff invited someone who could speak well, Chen Xu Shufen. She was also called Xu Shufen, which made Wei Hong and Zhou Zhou Huimin feel a sense of intimacy for no reason.
"Just call me Mrs. Chen." Chen Xu Shufen looked at Zhou Zhou Huimin with joy, just like looking at a big treasure.
She had been doing concerts for Teresa Teng for ten years, and now she joined Capital Artists, and was now Leslie Cheung's agent. Her eyes were very vicious. At this time, the still immature Zhou Zhou Huimin was simply a rare commodity in her eyes.
Not only because of her own conditions, but also because there was a super creative genius comparable to James Wong + Joseph Koo standing behind her.
"A-Min, you already have so many representative works, and you have many fans in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Why do you still want to participate in this kind of newcomer competition? Is it because you hope your career can go to the next level? You chose us, and you chose right. We Capital Artists..."
"Mrs. Chen," Zhou Zhou Huimin interrupted her, "I'm still in school. I don't have any requirements for my career, and I won't sign an agency contract. I'm just on summer vacation and bored and want to play."
"Oh, I see~" Chen Xu Shufen also understood. After all, she was the princess of Holiland. It was said that this chain fast-food restaurant was developing very fast, making McDonald's in Hong Kong breathless.
"It doesn't matter. Playing is playing. You sing so well, you will definitely be able to get a ranking later. Come, this is the registration form." Chen Xu Shufen handled Zhou Zhou Huimin's registration, letting her come to participate in the recording in the next three days. She could come on any day she wanted.
"Then Sunday. I'll practice again."
"Practice again? Is it a new song?"
"Hmm."
"Written by Wei Ming?"
"Confidential." Zhou Zhou Huimin kept a hand.
And after Zhou Zhou Huimin left, Chen Xu Shufen immediately reported this matter to the top, and finally Mona Fong knew about it, thinking to herself that it was really God helping me. Student idol Zhou Zhou Huimin's first stage performance, and she would also be on the same stage with Wei Ming.
So she gave an order: "No matter what, let her enter the semi-finals!"
The preliminary test had to select 30 singers to participate in the semi-finals, and then brush off half of them, leaving only 15 people to participate in the finals, deciding the gold, silver, and bronze awards.
Mona Fong let Chen Xu Shufen stare at the registration office to see if she could discover some unpolished jade. She did discover it. Before, she discovered a very cool girl named Anita Mui, and today she discovered Zhou Zhou Huimin, who was full of topics.
However, these were all potential stocks. What Chen Xu Shufen cared about most now was Leslie Cheung.
Wei Ming's "Melinda" made Leslie Cheung jump to become a super popular king who could compete with Tan Tan Yonglin, and even slightly better than Danny Chan. Recently, he also starred in Director Patrick Tam's new work "Nomad," collaborating with the first Golden Statue Best Actress Ye Tong, and there were also large-scale passionate scenes.
Chen Xu Shufen knew that Wei Ming had come to Hong Kong and would come to be a guest, so she let Leslie Cheung meet Wei Ming in advance to enhance their feelings.
Leslie Cheung: "I also like A-Ming very much. Do you think I haven't done anything? Master told me the place where he was filming, and I went, but people had already transferred the shooting location. I made a wasted trip."
At this time, the "Witness" crew had already left Wedding Card Street and arrived at Chungking Mansions.
In fact, not only Leslie Cheung, Tan Tan Yonglin, Danny Chan, and Jenny Tseng, these Hong Kong musicians, all wanted to fulfill the duties of a host.
When Zhou Zhou Huimin found Tan Tan Yonglin to discuss the arrangement of "Rare Lovers," Alan also asked where Wei Ming was.
A-Min couldn't let A-Ming be distracted, only saying: "I will convey it for you. He should have time after filming."
At this time, Wei Ming was doing ideological work for the third actor in the crew.
This third actor was the person in charge of the song and dance hall where the female lead worked, a cross-dresser with a rough appearance.
