Chapter 108 Let’s Fence! Jacky Cheung! The Chinese Pop Star
The eyes of the audience and guests dropped to the ground. Only Gigi Lai was messy in the wind. She was so stupid. Really, she should go to the circus to be a clown.
"Brother Zhang, in order not to disappoint the Hong Kong audience, it seems that our duel will continue."
Jacky Cheung is Xu Chen's strongest opponent, no one in the Chinese music industry.
In the era of record decline, the Chinese music scene was mourning everywhere. Only Jacky Cheung's album supported the record's final glory, flying against the wind, and album sales exceeded 2 million.
The "Four Heavenly Kings" vary in strength and weakness. When it comes to singing alone, Jacky Cheung is the well-deserved number one.
even.
During the "Tan and Zhang Zhenghe" era, Jacky Cheung's voice and singing skills were not inferior to Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung. If he had debuted early, "Tan and Zhang Zhenghe" might be "two Zhangs and one Tan" to share the world.
Xu Chen wants to be the "King of Pop in the Chinese Music Circle". Jacky Cheung is a mountain that is difficult to overcome but must be overcome.
only……
He didn't expect that the relationship between the two would be so awkward. If they were enemies, Xu Chen would use his sword cruelly and mercilessly to decide the difference between superiority and life and death...
Let’s fencing! Xueyou!
Now the two of them are friends rather than enemies, fighting life and death for nothing but Leslie Cheung and Michelle Yeoh to watch. These two bad friends might pick up the stool and knock melon seeds, saying: "Punch him in the vagina."
Probably……
After all, Leslie Cheung and Michelle Yeoh, one is a slut and the other is a dirty joke machine.
"Okay, Chen Zai, you sing me "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" and I sing "Next Year Today"."
Jacky Cheung is introverted and taciturn. Apart from singing, he is privately Mr. Cheung, an ordinary citizen of Hong Kong.
Xu Chen is very popular in Hong Kong. Jacky Cheung has listened to Xu Chen's new album.
The three Cantonese songs "Second Hand" and "The Evening Breeze Blows in My Heart" are of good quality, but not as charming. "Next Year Today" is a rare golden song with "excellent lyrics and music".
All three songs were written and composed by Xu Chen. It is rare to see such a top singer-songwriter in the Chinese music world, especially Xu Chen, who is only 18 years old and has an unlimited future.
Xu Chen has a high fighting spirit and has the pride of "I have a sword, please take a look at it".
Jacky Cheung was delighted to see Hunter. He became the "God of Song" in the Hong Kong music scene because he has been practicing his singing skills for decades. Music is his lifelong pursuit.
"Mr. Xu, the rhythm of "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" is brisk and unrestrained. I think the audience will not be in the mood to listen to me singing after you sing this song. Why don't I do it first?"
Jacky Cheung is frank and straightforward, making a harmless joke, which not only affirms Xu Chen's singing skills, but also tactfully reminds Xu Chen of the difficulties of "Legend of the Hungry Wolf".
"Mr. Zhang, please!" Xu Chen felt that he needed to learn more from the "Four Heavenly Kings" in dealing with people. Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung are both "evergreen trees" in the entertainment industry~
Jacky Cheung went on stage to sing "Today Next Year". In addition to Xu Chen singing "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" and he reciprocated and promoted Xu Chen's new song, he really liked the song "Today Next Year".
In his early years, he made his debut with "slow-accented" love songs, and "Next Year Today" can be called a "masterpiece" of "slow-accented" Cantonese songs!
Jacky Cheung's singing is very distinctive and very coquettish. He is the most coquettish among the "Four Heavenly Kings"!
The prelude of "Today Next Year" sounded, and the audience and guests were immersed in Jacky Cheung's charming voice. The "Four Kings"'s ability to control the scene and perform songs were perfect.
The stronger Jacky Cheung becomes, the higher Xu Chen’s fighting spirit becomes. Whether he is the “King of the Mainland” or the “King of Chinese Pop”, he is just a “singer” after taking off the label!
What could be more enjoyable than competing with the "gods" of the Chinese pop music scene?
Strategically despise the enemy, tactically pay attention to the enemy!
Looking at Hong Kong's Cantonese pop hits, the two most difficult songs to sing are Jacky Cheung's "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" and Stephen Chow's "The Hard Sutra".
"Legend of the Hungry Wolf" rock combines R&B elements with a brisk and unrestrained rhythm. The whole song has 480 words, which can be regarded as the "longest" lyrics.
Rock-style R&B is the most difficult to master. The difficulty is that the rhythm and sound are difficult to be accurate. "Legend of the Wolf" also has real and false tones switching, and the constant occurrence of G4 long sounds and G5 strong falsetto long sounds.
Xu Chen is preparing to reach C6 strong falsetto and long note. This level of difficulty is usually difficult for Jacky Cheung to master. Only at the 96 concert did he get up to this level and rock the whole audience with one song.
Later generations took stock of the "famous scene" of Jacky Cheung's concert, and the C6 strong falsetto at the 1996 concert has always been "ranked first".
This is Xu Chen’s last battle in Hong Kong!
Xu Chen's requirements are very low, not to mention winning Jacky Cheung for sure, just barely not falling behind.
"Songs are afraid of young people." If you have a good relationship with Jacky Cheung, when Lao Zhang has lost all his teeth and is dying in the hospital bed, Xu Chen can still play "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" with his electric guitar in front of his face.
Jacky Cheung: "I'm so stupid, Xu Chen, why don't you just be a human being!"
………
Jacky Cheung's version of "Today Next Year" conquered the audience and guests. Under the emotional arousal, the entire recording scene was quiet and melancholy, and the soulful singing was eloquent and weeping.
Maybe it's the lyrics, maybe it's Jacky Cheung's affectionate singing. Li Jiaxin suddenly touches her face, her white fingertips are moist, her delicate eyebrows are slightly frowned, her flaming red lips are curled up, and her eyes are disdainful. She is really hypocritical.
"Mr. Xu, after listening to Hong Kong singer Jacky Cheung sing, are you, the mainland singer, also afraid?"
Michelle Reis thinks that Xu Chen is the culprit for being like this. He is a scumbag. His lyrics are so good that you don’t want to die~
Female fairies know how to kill people!
"I'm afraid, Miss Li. I haven't repaid Miss Li yet. Miss Li doesn't want me to lose, so why not give me luck..."
Bad girl! The fish pond of the royal sister is open without reservation. Xu Chen doesn't like to go in. He has no interest in entering the fish pond, and Li Jiaxin doesn't open other things~
Li Jiaxin's real estate tycoon boyfriend has been affected by the Asian financial crisis recently and is on the verge of bankruptcy. Good women will not drag down their boyfriends. They all considerately help their boyfriends to deal with themselves.
Xu Chen's eyes are frivolous. To deal with the sea queen, quick, accurate and ruthless are the most effective.
Li Jiaxin's figure is slender, her waist and back are like a knife, her black and shiny straight hair is gently draped over her shoulders, and she is wearing a white tube top dress. A pair of round and white shoulders are drooping, and the collarbone with clear lines is round and full, ready to burst out.
Xu Chen's eyes are burning on her flaming red lips. The royal sister with exquisite makeup is indeed very attractive.
"Mr. Xu, if you are as brave as your thief..."
Li Jiaxin's eyes suddenly tightened, and the next moment, her thin chin was gently lifted by a finger. Xu Chen stared at her with a smile on his lips: "The heart of a thief is bigger than the courage of a thief, Miss Li, you have tried to seduce me again and again, aren't you afraid of playing with fire and getting burned?"
"I am braver than you think..."
After Jacky Cheung's singing, Xu Chen glanced at the recording site, and raised Li Jiaxin's chin with his fingers. Under his sight, Li Jiaxin's delicate and small lips were moist and shiny, and her tall and white nose had a light breath.
There was no panic in her bright eyes, but she was not willing to be outdone with teasing.
"More, what, Mr. Xu, do you want to say more?" Li Jiaxin was interested: "Mr. Xu doesn't want to compete with Jacky Cheung, but wants to compete with me?"
You won! Female hooligan, Xu Chen suddenly felt that Li Jiaxin, a female sea king, was not easy to handle, and ran away after taking advantage.
In the dim backstage, Li Jiaxin's slender and soft back was against the wall. She raised her hand to touch her round and plump lower lip, staring at the back of Xu Chen at the front desk, with a smile on her lips...
She was a little tired of the rich businessmen, so why not try "little freshness." "The King of Ducks" served her, would it be a good experience?
…………
Xu Chen didn't know if the lucky kiss was effective. It felt good, sweet and soft. Next time with the female gangster, he would just order: "Hello, I'm Xu Chen, let's have a nibble."
"Mr. Xu, this day next year is good, really good."
Jacky Cheung was moved by a song. This song reminded him of his wife. Happiness is fleeting. If you don't want to leave any regrets, you have to seize the moment.
A song can move the god of song, so the quality of this song can be imagined.
Jacky Cheung originally wanted to give Xu Chen more time to prepare, but now it was a little embarrassing. He cleared all the monsters with a big gun. What should Xu Chen do?
Although Xu Chen is a mainland superstar, he is still young after all, and Jacky Cheung has the idea of taking care of the younger generation.
"Mr. Xu, why don't you try "Distant Her"?"
"Distant Her" is Jacky Cheung's classic "slow-pitched" song. With the atmosphere of the current recording site, Xu Chen can achieve twice the result with half the effort!
"Fatal Fury" is a light and passionate rock song. If the audience and guests are not in the right mood, it is likely to be twice the result with half the effort!
"Mr. Zhang, if you like Next Year Today, you can sing it anytime you want in the future."
Xu Chen appreciated Jacky Cheung's kindness and gave his own return gift, authorizing Jacky Cheung to sing "Next Year Today".
This return gift is not small. The princess sang Li Jian's "Legend" and called to ask "Can I sing it?"
Li Jian replied: "Yes."
Then there was a 2 million yuan copyright infringement fee. "Next Year Today" is much higher than "Legend".
Jacky Cheung did not continue to persuade. He is an introvert and does not like to talk to strangers. He persuaded Xu Chen for the sake of Leslie Cheung and Sally Yeh.
Xu Chen refused, the more Jacky Cheung valued him, the more a real "singer" has a proud character, Xu Chen has this kind of hard bones.
However, if you have a "hard bone", you must also have real skills.
Xu Chen, please draw your sword!
…………
The recording site was very quiet, which was affected by the "same time next year" mood.
Jacky Cheung is a well-deserved "singing god" in the Chinese pop music scene, and Karen Mok and Gigi Lai are both in a depressed mood.
When Xu Chen came on stage, the audience did not cheer, and their eyes showed confusion.
Xu Chen closed his eyes and sang as soon as he came on stage, but the effect was not good. The trick of "pretending" has been tried and tested.
He was slow to speak, and the audience gradually became impatient.
Xu Chen is from the mainland, and his new album "Unparalleled in the World" is a big hit in Hong Kong. Now he is on the show to compete with Jacky Cheung on the same stage. You are pretending to despise your predecessors.
At this time.
The dynamic and brisk accompaniment of "Fatal Fury" sounded, Xu Chen opened his eyes, and his fingers were like a rainstorm, pouring on the electric guitar.
The violent music instantly exploded the audience's eardrums, switching between stillness and movement in an instant, and the "depressed" mood created by Jacky Cheung's "Next Year Today" singing instantly disappeared.
This is a very cunning approach.
Jacky Cheung grinned subconsciously backstage. Xu Chen has a lot of "concert" experience, can instantly control the scene, and can face everyone's scrutiny calmly.
The sound flow produced by the violent electric guitar is as violent as a flood, and after a burning electric guitar SOUL.
The audience's eardrums are buzzing, the blood vessels in the body are screaming, and their eyes are fixed on Xu Chen, burning!
Xu Chen's breath is steady, and he speaks softly: "She turned off the evening light and covered her shoulders faintly."
"Intertwined sparks, imprisoned in precipitation."
The lyrics of "Fatal Fury" are almost switched without pause, and they keep popping out one word at a time. Just reciting a 480-word textbook makes people dizzy.
Xu Chen has to sing it completely word by word in 4 minutes, and he must perfectly match the pitch.
The entire key was raised to C6, and every word sung gave people the illusion of climbing on the cliffs of a snowy mountain.
Karen Mok and Gigi Lai looked at Xu Chen, who was jumping and dancing under the lights and was full of energy, and wondered if Xu Chen would suddenly die.
Singing so hard, are you going to die?
Karen Mok had heard Jacky Cheung's concert "Fatal Fury". Jacky Cheung's concert is characterized by "sexiness", and Xu Chen's singing style is characterized by "domineering."
Unlike the "hero" Ren Xianqi, his "domineering" is a fatal temptation that makes people unable to take their eyes off.
It seems that when he stands on the stage, he is the master of this world!
Karen Mok followed the rhythm of the dynamic music and couldn't help twisting her waist. She couldn't help but get excited.
Gigi Lai stared at Xu Chen, and didn't want to admit it, but Xu Chen was indeed very charming.
The whole song reached the most violent lyrics, Xu Chen almost sang "a hungry wolf" with his iron lungs that could break gold and crack rocks...
"Love is like a hungry wolf, with a sweet mouth."
"If you approach her and play with her, her fierce appearance will appear."
"Love is like a hungry wolf, how can I hold her to sleep?"
"She will leave me a severe injury as a souvenir."
The high note of C6 seemed to be a pair of huge hands, stirring the recording scene, and the audience and guests could not help but spin, jump, and close their eyes.
Jacky Cheung's eyes lit up. He rarely tried the high note of C6 in this song. The higher Xu Chen's voice was, the more silent he was, because so far, Xu Chen had not broken his voice.
He sang C6 in the concert, but he invited a "harmony" to control the slight cracks.
…………
Xu Chen's scalp was numb, and the muscles of his entire spine and heels collapsed into a straight line. The higher the voice was, the more excited he was.
After the last lyric was finished, she simply tightened her voice, held her hands as a trumpet, and shouted like a wolf, "Girls from Hong Kong, you are beautiful!"
It was a bit embarrassing after shouting, there were no audiences at the recording site, only TVB staff.
"Ah~beautiful~" Several girls in the audience area couldn't help but scream and waved their hands, their faces flushed, a little excited.
"Hey~" Li Jiaxin's bright eyes stared at Xu Chen's back. At this moment, Xu Chen was very charming, and sweat was dripping from his hair.
Her pink tongue subconsciously licked the round and plump lips, full of danger and temptation.
…………
The recording of the program ended.
Xu Chen gained a lot, including but not limited to: "The friendship of Jacky Cheung, the phone call of Karen Mok, and the Bao Da of Li Jiaxin."
Pooh!
Repay!
Specifically, Li Jiaxin asked Xu Chen to repay her, with good reason and evidence. The well-proportioned and slender legs of the royal sister with delicate makeup were very attractive: "Mr. Xu, counting the previous two "Singing and Talking Mandarin", this time "Happy Tonight", how are you going to repay me? Why not treat me to dinner tonight."
Bastard, if you agree to it, it's over. Xu Chen found an excuse to shirk: "Miss Li, I think we are friends, just call me Achen, I will definitely repay you another day."
Xu Chen had to rush back to accompany Feifei to tell her the truth. After the recording of "Happy Tonight", his trip to Hong Kong came to an end.
Treasure Island's "Unparalleled in the World" has been online for a week, and is currently fighting with Zhang Huimei. "Warner" Zhou Jianbin arranged publicity to build momentum for Xu Chen's "Chinese Pop King" and promote "Legend" and "Unparalleled in the World" overseas albums.
In addition to the promotion of Baodao, "Love Spicy Hot Pot" and "Chinese Classics", Xu Chen felt a little scalp numb. The donkeys in the production team were not as hard as him.
He also had to take time to escort the female fairies to "seek scriptures in the West".
"..." Li Jiaxin was startled by Xu Chen's rejection. She fiddled with her hair with her white and tender fingers, wondering if her charm had diminished.
The next moment, her ears felt a little cold, and Li Jiaxin felt as if she had received an electric shock. Her ears were white, plump, and very sensitive, and she could clearly feel Xu Chen's fingers kneading and rubbing them.
This action was too direct, and Li Jiaxin subconsciously looked slightly angry. Xu Chen was abrupt again and again, really thinking that she didn't want money!
"Sister Li, my wallet is very empty, and I can't give you what you want." Xu Chen made it clear that he had no money and deliberately hooked Li Jiaxin.
His fingers gently kneaded, and the touch was soft and tender, and her pretty face was a little hot.
Xu Chen smiled gently, and his dimples were like hooks.
"Fuck, you don't have money to take advantage of me." Scumbag, you have no money and you still take advantage of me. Li Jiaxin pulled her hair irritably and touched her ears subconsciously. This time she didn't want money.
…………
Xu Chen and Jacky Cheung agreed to have tea when they were free.
Jacky Cheung leaked the news: "Chenzi, Emperor Entertainment Group invited me this time through connections. Did you offend Boss Yang?"
It was indeed that stinky woman Huo Xiwen!
Driving back to the villa in the middle of the mountain, the car belongs to the princess, the villa belongs to the princess, and the princess belongs to Xu Chen, a perfect closed loop.
When he arrived at the door, he saw a car parked at the door from a distance.
Xu Chen got out of the car and took a look, knocking on the car window: "Old Zhang, what are you doing in the car, why don't you get in?"
"Old Xu, you are finally back, I will send you the album sales data, when you go to Taiwan, I will go with you." You fucking, the princess is Dou Wei's ex-wife, Zhang Peiren used to see her often, and now she has become Xu Chen's woman, and their relationship is a mess.
"The day after tomorrow." Xu Chen was ready to poke Liu Defa's ass and go.
