Chapter 5 Shameless
The next day, the sun was shining on his buttocks, and Li Zetian woke up. His father Li Chengzhi and his mother Xiao Zhixuan had already gone to work, but breakfast was prepared for Li Zetian and was placed on the dining table.
After Li Zetian finished washing, he was eating breakfast and thinking about what he was going to do today.
Of course, the first thing is to inquire about Bruce Lee; secondly, Li Zetian plans to go to the Hong Kong Public Library. There happens to be a Hong Kong Public Library on the "Waterloo Road" section of Kowloon District. It was built in 1965. Maybe there There will be the information he needs.
At this moment, Bruce Lee's incident shocked the whole of Hong Kong, and even Western countries and even mainland China media focused on it!
Last night, international superstar Bruce Lee was sent to the hospital. The doctor said that high-intensity training, frequent fighting competitions and overwork caused Bruce Lee's brain to be greatly damaged. Fortunately, the rescue was timely this time. , I’m afraid even the gods can’t save it! Now, after two hours of rescue, Bruce Lee is out of danger.
Li Zetian knew Bruce Lee's situation from the conversations of passers-by without even asking. As for whether Bruce Lee's delivery of food would be exposed after he wakes up, Li Zetian doesn't care. Yes, Bruce Lee did not order takeout, and the restaurant did not send anyone to deliver takeout. Li Zetian's behavior seemed full of flaws. But doesn’t the clever Li Zetian have any countermeasures?
There were few young people in this period who did not admire Bruce Lee. Li Zetian could also say that he was a fan of Bruce Lee, and then he happened to bump into Bruce Lee entering Ding Pei's house. Ever since, he pretended to deliver food just so he could meet Bruce Lee. As for why we still need to wear masks? The reason is more sufficient, because I have a cold and a fever and have not recovered from the disease. This is not a lie, it is absolutely a fact!
Bruce Lee was the bridgehead for Hong Kong films to go international. If he had not died, then, under his influence, Hong Kong films would have a place in the United States and even around the world.
However, what Li Zetian values more is that Chinese culture can be spread and influence the whole world through movies!
The reason why American movies, TV series, novels, comics, music, etc. sell well all over the world is because the whole world recognizes American culture.
China has five thousand years of history, and its culture is so splendid! But why can't it shine all over the world? As a descendant of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, one can imagine the pride and pride Li Zetian feels in his heart. Of course he hopes that Chinese culture can be promoted and spread!
…
At almost 10 o'clock, Li Zetian came to the Kowloon District Public Library. For now, the library is not large in size, and there are very few highly professional computer books. However, it is better than nothing. Li Zetian chose 6 books because the library can only borrow 6 books at most. Among the 6 books, 5 are related to computers, and the other is "Economics" written by Samuelson, the 1970 Nobel Prize winner in economics. This book can be said to be a classic among classics. Anyone who studies economics, Basically everyone has read this book. Moreover, it is also the economics textbook with the highest cumulative sales in the world!
Li Zetian thought that he would not only become an excellent computer engineer in the future, but also learn how to manage a company. The latter was even more important than the former. Therefore, from now on, Li Zetian will reserve knowledge.
In a few days, Li Zetian read 6 books in one go.
"Economics" is inherently short, but its structure is grand and its text and discussion are extremely rigorous. After reading this book, Li Zetian already has a relatively complete understanding of economics.
The other five books are not thick, and when Li Zetian read these five books, he almost read them at a glance. As we all know, the principles of computers are the same, and programming languages are all familiar. Programmers who have been programmers know that it is so easy to learn one programming language and then learn other programming languages. Of course, there are some contents in the book that Li Zetian can't bear to look at. It's so outdated...
While Li Zetian was reading to recharge his batteries, he was still waiting for Huang Zhan's reply. It had been many days since he sent "Men Should Be Strong", and it seemed to have disappeared. Li Zetian didn't know that his letter had been treated as a letter from an ordinary fan by Huang Zhan's assistant, and was left to gather dust in a thick pile of letters. Maybe one day Huang Zhan would open this letter on a whim, but Li Zetian obviously didn't have such good patience.
In August, the day to study at Harvard University in the United States was approaching. Li Zetian still didn't see Huang Zhan's reply, so he decided to go directly to the record company to sell his songs.
Li Zetian is a very proud person. If he wants to go to the biggest record company! ! !
Before 1999, PolyGram was the most famous and largest record company in the world, and also the oldest record company in the world so far.
However, what he didn't expect was that Li Zetian was rejected.
Although Li Zetian is over 17 years old, this body has a fair baby face and looks like a junior high school student. Coupled with the fact that he speaks nondescript Cantonese with a mainland accent, it is not difficult to imagine what his impression will be in the minds of PolyGram people.
As the saying goes: "If you have a hairless mouth, you will not be able to do things well."
PolyGram is the world's largest record company, and all its song invitations are from well-known songwriters. Isn't it a joke to buy a song from a junior high school student? So before the song was even read, Li Zetian was driven away. "Go, go, go, you haven't even grown your hair yet, yet you come here to sell songs, let's wait until you grow up!"
Li Zetian reluctantly walked out of the PolyGram building. He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing at himself: "Haha, you have a childish look. It's my fault..."
Just as Li Zetian was about to go to another record company, someone suddenly shouted to him: "Hey, wait a minute!"
Li Zetian turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, in his forties, with small eyes, less than 1.7 meters tall, and wearing the popular parted hair.
"Is something wrong?" Li Zetian asked.
"Are you here to sell songs? Let's talk? Oh, this is my business card!" As he said that, the man handed Li Zetian a business card with the words "Wu Feitian, Director of the Hong Kong Music Composers and Lyricists Association" !
Li Zetian was a little surprised, his name was the same as Huang Zhan.
"Let me see how the songs you wrote are like. If they are good, I can help you recommend them to PolyGram Records! I used to be a music teacher in college and know that some students are talented and can write many good songs. , It’s just that there are no connections. Although Hong Kong is not big, there are many people who can write lyrics and music, but there are only a handful of people who are truly famous..." After finishing speaking, Wu Feitian sighed and expressed regret.
Li Zetian actually had a little impression of this person, because he had just seen him talking to a senior executive of PolyGram Records. It seemed that the relationship between them was not bad... Li Zetian thought about it, and if he had his recommendation, maybe he would be there right away. Able to sell songs to PolyGram Records.
The aroma of wine is also afraid of the deep alley! I don’t know how many good songs have been buried in history...
"Okay, please appreciate it!" With that, Li Zetian took out a piece of paper with the song "Men Should Be Strong" written on it from his trouser pocket and handed it to Wu Feitian.
Wu Feitian took the piece of paper and read it carefully for a few minutes. After finishing it, he shook his head and said: "What you wrote is a Cantonese song, but you are a mainlander, so the Cantonese song you wrote is not very good." Okay, but... being able to write such a song as a newcomer is already very good and deserves praise! I can help you submit your song to PolyGram. As for whether they want your song, you can get a reply in three days!"
Li Zetian smiled inwardly. Was Huang Zhan's "Men Should Be Strong" written well? So what can I say? Anyway, as long as this song can be put into PolyGram Records, there will always be someone who knows the stuff among them!
"Then it's all your fault!"
"It's just a trivial matter!"
Li Zetian waited for three days. Three days later, he did not wait for news from PolyGram Records. Instead, he saw an entertainment news on TV: "The title song of the new Cantonese album of the famous Hong Kong singer and actor Xu Guanjie has been released." Confirmed, the song is called "Men Should Be Strong", and the composer and lyricist are both Wu Feitian!!!"
After reading the news, Li Zetian couldn't help but sneer. There really are such shameless people in this world!
