Chapter 917 Recommending Domestic Female Singer Zhang Qiang!

The old man was thoughtful after listening.

Yang Ming took a car back to the Oriental Mandarin Hotel.

At this time, it was already dark.

He woke up early the next morning.

Today is October 1, 1984, and another National Day is coming.

This year's National Day is not much different from the National Days of previous years, except that the number of invited foreign guests is more or less.

After Yang Ming had breakfast at the Oriental Mandarin Hotel, he took Lin Xiuzhi to attend the National Day ceremony.

. . .

Almost a day.

At 21:30 that night, Yang Ming attended the state banquet and watched the grand fireworks show.

When Yang Ming and Lin Xiuzhi returned to the Oriental Mandarin Hotel, they were already a little tired.

"Master, you are back. Are you tired?" Ah Zhu came over and asked.

"A little tired. Where did you go today?"

"Sir, let's go to Quanjude Roast Duck." Guan Jiahui said on the side.

Quanjude Roast Duck?

There was also Yanjing roast duck at the state banquet tonight, but Yang Ming didn't eat much.

Ah Zhu went to get a basin of hot water for Yang Ming to soak his feet, and then gave him a massage.

22:40 in the evening.

Yang Ming took a bath and went to rest.

Early the next morning.

Yang Ming had just woken up when Ah Zhu came over and said, "Master, Miss Yang Jie is here to visit you."

Yang Jie?

At first, Yang Ming couldn't remember who the other person was. Ah Zhu said, "Master, this Miss Yang Jie is the director of Journey to the West."

That's her.

A woman in her fifties walked in.

This woman was the great director Yang Jie who has become popular at home and abroad in recent years for filming Journey to the West.

The first part, which was the first half of Journey to the West, was first broadcast on Asia Television under the Empire Group. It was very popular in Hong Kong at the time. Later, the copyright was sold to China, Japan, Southeast Asia, and other places overseas, and it was also very popular around the world.

Last year, the second part, which was the sequel to the second half of Journey to the West, was broadcast again on Asia Television in Hong Kong, and the ratings were still very popular.

On the contrary, during the same period, TVB directed and filmed Journey to the West by itself and its actors, which was also broadcasted at about the same time during TVB's prime time, but the ratings plummeted, directly affecting TVB's ratings, advertising, and even its market value.

Soon, TVB stopped the self-made Journey to the West and replaced it with other dramas.

That is to say, after that, many Hong Kong citizens could see that TVB in the Run Run Shaw era was no longer as good as TVB in the Lee Hsiao-Hsien era, whether in production or funding, the gap with Asia Television was getting bigger and bigger.

Since this Journey to the West, Yang Jie has been regarded as one of Asia Television's female directors in China.

Journey to the West was finished.

According to Yang Jie's ability, she was going to film Dream of the Red Chamber.

Yang Ming also supported the filming of this masterpiece and invested a huge amount of money. Compared with Journey to the West, Yang Ming predicted that the ratings might not be that high.

Since last year, Yang Jie has taken the actors she selected to film at Asia Film and Television City in Yang Ming's hometown.

During the National Day ceremony, Yang Jie came to Yanjing for something. When he learned that Sir Yang was here, he came to see Yang Ming.

"Hello, Mr. Yang."

"Hello, Director Yang."

Yang Ming would not underestimate the talents of any era, whether they were from Hong Kong or the mainland, whether they were male or female. However, Yang Jie knew very well that he could become famous thanks to the support of Sir Yang.

"Mr. Yang, I came here this time to talk to you about the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions."

"Director Yang, is there not enough funding?"

Yang Ming thought it was a funding problem?

Since Journey to the West became popular all over the world, the copyright fees sold have really been quite a lot. It was precisely because of that that when Yang Jie wanted to set up the project to film Dream of Red Mansions, Huang Xizhao was not stingy and specially allocated a large amount of funds for filming.

"No, General Manager Huang provided a lot of funds."

"Is there any problem?"

Problem?

Yang Jie was still striving for perfection. During the filming of Dream of Red Mansions, she encountered many problems, and the release time might be delayed.

These are not problems.

"Director Yang, these are not problems. In addition, I also hope to discover more domestic actors with potential."

At this time, Yang Ming has already focused on the domestic market.

Whether Hong Kong's movies and Hong Kong's television will decline in the future, Yang Ming knows that the market of a country with a population of more than one billion will definitely be much larger than the market of Hong Kong with only a few million people.

Even if Hong Kong is also implemented according to the super city planning in the future, Hong Kong will have a population of at most tens of millions. In terms of the market, it is still far behind the domestic market as a whole.

When Yang Ming and Yang Jie finished talking about this matter, Yang Ming did not expect that Yang Jie would personally recommend a female singer from the mainland to Yang Ming.

"Director Yang, do you want to recommend a female singer?"

Yang Ming asked.

"Yes, Mr. Yang, in fact, her mother found me through her connections. I just think that this child has some potential and talent. She may not be suitable for the domestic market, but may be suitable for the music in Hong Kong."

The reason why Yang Jie found Yang Ming instead of Liang Shuyi was not that she did not know Liang Shuyi.

The main reason was that Yang Ming was the boss of Asia Records and had a close relationship with Miss Teresa Teng.

Today, Asia Records has almost monopolized the Chinese music market in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia.

"What's her name? How does she sing?"

"Mr. Yang, this is the girl."

Yang Jie took out a photo from his bag.

Yang Ming took it and saw that it was a young girl with fashionable clothes and a big hair.

This child's dress is probably a little different from that in China.

Now the atmosphere in China is becoming more and more open, and new things are becoming more and more popular in China. However, this kind of dress is really regarded as a non-mainstream dress that appeared after 2000.

"Her name is Zhang Qiang. Her mother is from a musical family. She has a musical foundation and talent. I have heard her songs."

Under normal circumstances.

Now Yang Jie is a big director.

Yang Ming's identity is even more complicated.

Yang Jie certainly would not recommend a very ordinary female singer to Yang Ming casually.

After Yang Jie met Zhang Qiang's mother, he kept looking for Yang Jie.

Even if he didn't look for Yang Ming, Yang Jie might talk to other people in Hong Kong.

Zhang Qiang?

Yang Ming suddenly felt that this name was familiar.

Looking at the other person's photo, it seems that he has some impression.

When Yang Ming stood up.

After thinking about it, he really seemed to remember that he had heard the other person's songs in his previous life.

"Director Yang, are you sure her name is Zhang Qiang?"

"Mr. Yang, have you heard of her?" This time it was Yang Jie's turn to be surprised.

When Yang Ming turned around a few times, although he could not confirm whether it was the other person, if it was the other person, then the female singer recommended by Yang Jie might really be extraordinary.

Zhang Qiang was born in a musical family. Her mother was a violinist in the symphony orchestra of the Z country film orchestra. Zhang Qiang followed her mother to learn violin since she was a child.

Because in addition to music performances, the Z country film orchestra also records for various movies, television, documentaries, and feature films. The orchestra often has foreign records as internal materials, which also became her early music enlightenment.

In 1983, Zhang Qiang, who was in the first year of high school at No. 205 Middle School in Yanjing HD District, participated in the HD District Youth Singer Competition and sang the song "Assorted Vegetables" by the Carpenters, which caused a response.

Not long after, Lin Shulu found Zhang Qiang and hoped to take her to record a cassette. In 1984, Zhang Qiang participated in the first CCTV Young Singer TV Grand Prix. The judges eliminated Zhang Qiang for imitating the Hong Kong and Taiwan accent and being too flamboyant.

However, after that, Zhang Qiang became unstoppable.

In 1985, he released his first personal music album "Tokyo Night", which sold 2.5 million copies. In the same year, the album "Shy Girl" sold 4.2 million copies. In the same year, he formed a personal team with his mother, and served as a singer, agent, stylist, producer, and supervisor.

In two years, Zhang Qiang released more than 20 music albums. 1 Time magazine in the United States became the first artist interviewed by Country Z.

Time magazine listed her as the "most popular female singer in the world" along with six singers including Whitney Houston, Jennifer Rush, and Teresa Teresa, and Zhang Qiang ranked third.

If this Zhang Qiang is that Zhang Qiang.

In Yang Ming's opinion, the female singer recommended by Yang Jie is really good.
