Chapter 646 The Prodigal Wang Jie

"There is a girl far away, her name is Jelia. Some people say that her eyes can make you younger——"

In a lounge in Shilin, Taipei, there are men and women, and a petty bourgeois atmosphere. On the small stage in front, 22-year-old Wang Jie is holding a guitar and singing. He is not amazing in appearance, with small and dull eyes, but a clear and clear voice. Features.

This song is called "Yeliya Girl", and many people think it was sung by Tong Ange.

That's right, it was composed by Tong Ange and originally sung by Liu Wenzheng. After Tong Ange became famous, he sang it himself - he actually made his debut as a composer.

"Yelia, mysterious Yelia, I must find her!"

After the song was finished, the men and women were all minding their own business, not even applauding. Wang Jie has long been used to it. He puts his guitar on his back and calls it a day, quietly rolling out the door. This lounge is not the place for him to stay.

His parents are both Taiwanese, but they are actors in Shaw Brothers and developed in Hong Kong.

Later, they divorced and his parents returned to Taiwan. Wang Jie worked alone in Hong Kong and came to Taiwan to make a living when he was 17 years old. Driver, chef, stuntman, resident singer... he has had many professions.

He got married at the age of 19 and has a daughter. He is a Hong Kong citizen and does not have a Taiwan ID card. He volunteered to serve in the military so that he could live long-term. After returning from the army, his wife ran away.

So even though he is only 22 years old, he has a lot of experience.

Wang Jie lived on the streets in his early days. Smoking, drinking, and fighting were commonplace. He signed with a record company in 1987. His first album "One Game, One Dream" sold 18 million copies in Asia. I have reservations about this data.

But he was really super popular back then, the voice of a prodigal son!

It didn't work after the new century. Later, he always said that someone poisoned him and made his voice hoarse. Others said that he had no self-discipline and damaged his voice himself - this is a well-known unsolved case in the entertainment industry.

"Boom!"

He left the lounge, rode a second-hand motorcycle, walked through the streets and alleys of Taipei, and came to a residence.

"dad!"

A little girl ran over with her teeth bared and ran into his arms. Wang Jie picked her up and called to the middle-aged woman behind him: "Mom!"

"Have you eaten yet?"

"I'll take Cuicui out to eat!"

"Well, it just so happens that I didn't prepare your meal either!"

The woman was very cold, and Wang Jie was also used to it. He took his daughter away, walked around the street, and stopped at a familiar roadside stall. Two people eat two bowls of noodles and two braised eggs, which is already very good. When they were at their worst, they had to share one bowl of noodles and one braised egg.

While I was eating, there was a beeping sound behind me.

A car parked there. When the door opened, a long-faced man got out, a few years older than him.

"Wow, you really eat noodles here!"

"Wow, when did you buy a car? Is it so profitable to make an album?"

"Don't move, don't move, I borrowed it!"

The visitor is called Chen Huanchang. You may not be familiar with this name. He has a stage name called Xiaochong. It's the same bug who wrote "Love the country more than beauty", "Heart is too soft", "As long as you live better than me", "Ren Xiaoyao" and so on.

Later, one of the four major producers of Rolling Stone, the other three being Li Zongsheng, Luo Dayou, and Chen Sheng.

Xiaochong had just entered the music industry and had some success. Wang Jie had joined his band before.

“Add a bowl of noodles!”

Xiaochong moved a stool and sat down and said: "I recommended it to the boss. The boss said that you are ugly and as thin as a chicken with ribs. You are not suitable to be a singer.

I won't sign you. "

"You don't have to hit me like this, right?

"I'm paraphrasing! In fact, I think your voice is very unique, but I just haven't found the right song."

"Isn't this nonsense? With the right song, even a dog can become famous!"

Wang Jie is considered to be the first generation of this vicissitudes of life singing style, and there seems to be no meal replacement after that.

Xiaochong picked some noodles with chopsticks, took out a leaflet from his pocket, and said: "Although you can't sign the contract, you have another chance. This show is super popular in Hong Kong. You can decide on your own. Just decide to go." Tell me and I'll help you with your travel expenses."

He patted Wang Jie on the shoulder, threw down a bowl of noodles and left.

Wang Jie took a look and saw that it was GG in this year's "The Voice of Asia". The selection scope expanded to include Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and European and American Chinese.

Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, his daughter asked, "Dad, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing, hurry up and eat some noodles!"

"oh!"

The daughter continued to eat, and Wang Jie continued to stare at the flyer while eating. The night was flowing on the streets of Taipei, and a couple talked about the "new movie", "taking the wrong bus", "I heard that Mr. Zombie is very good-looking, and I look forward to it being released soon" and so on, from Lu Side stalls passed by.

Not far away, there are feasting and high-end nightclubs, with wealthy businessmen and celebrities coming in and out. It is a good time for Taiwan's economy.

"Bang!"

Wang Yingxiang, the boss of Longxiang Pictures, opened a bottle of wine, poured it for Zhuang Cheng, and raised his glass: "I used to cooperate with New Art City, but New Art City closed down. I am grateful to Mr. Zhuang for the meal. I wish " "Mr. Zombie" is a hit! "The Wrong Ride" is a hit!"

"cheers!"

On the soft leather sofa in a half circle, seven or eight dancing ladies were sitting, with Zhuang Cheng as the distinguished guest in the middle.

Wang Yingxiang is a veteran film dealer in Taiwan. Now China Film Group is the only one. After Taiwan lifted the ban, he developed rapidly and became one of the eight major film companies, investing in many Hong Kong films.

After the mainland was opened to the outside world, a film called "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters" was also produced, starring Chen Kun, Vivian Hsu, and Li Bingbing.

Then he disappeared.

Taiwan is a tiny place, but the eight major film companies can make as many films as they want. But at that time, they were really powerful.

Zhuang Cheng drank a glass and said, "Mr. Vampire will definitely be a big hit, and so will The Wrong Car?"

"Taiwanese audiences love to watch this kind of crying, feminine film! I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Yu Ping and his gang of directors. They can't make commercial films, they can only make this kind of film, but the audience still likes it, what's the reason!"

'I don't know much about it, I just responded to the call of President Tong and the News Bureau and invested in making a Mandarin film. ”

"You bet on the right horse! Don't worry about the Golden Horse Awards, I'm very familiar with this, and we good brothers will help you run it!"

"Thank you very much, it's good to win the award."

"It's actually very obvious!"

Wang Yingxiang pointed out the way and said, "Cinema City has teamed up with Sylvia Chang, and the film is also a hit, and the News Bureau attaches great importance to it. Who knew that the silver gun tip died in an instant.

You should win the Golden Horse Award first and make a few more hits. Then I will help you get around and show your face at the Information Bureau. Then everything will go smoothly and we can make money together. "

"Oh? Can I meet Director Song?"

"That's a bit difficult. An ordinary official is enough. Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. In recent years, the CCP has made life difficult. One-third of the good films in Hong Kong cannot be imported. We earn little and can only watch the CCP show off its power and be reprimanded. Brother, you are a rising star. It's a good opportunity to get promoted. "

"Thank you for your advice. I also toast you a glass! ”

Zhuang Cheng drank another glass. He had sold Mr. Vampire and Mr. Wrong Car to Wang Yingxiang. He came here to promote Mr. Wrong Car.

He felt that this situation was very exciting and the risk was huge. If he was discovered, it would not be a joke. But from the moment he agreed to do this, he was gambling his life.

Seeing that Mr. Wrong Car was about to be released and a series of things that might happen later, he couldn't help but tremble, but at the same time he was excited and felt that he could even leave a mark in film history.

(Got it—.)
