Chapter 917 Recommend domestic female singer Zhang Qiang!

The old gentleman was thoughtful after listening.

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

At this time, the night was already dark.

Woke up early the next day.

Today is October 1, 1984, another National Day has arrived.

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

Yang Ming finished breakfast at the Oriental Mandarin Hotel and took Lin Xiuzhi to attend the National Day ceremony.

. . .

Nearly 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?" Azhu came over and asked.

"I'm a little tired. Where have you been today?"

"Sir, let's go eat Quanjude roast duck." Guan Jiahui said at the side.

Quanjude roast duck?

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

Ah Zhu went to get a basin of hot water to soak Yang Ming's feet, and then massaged Yang Ming on the side.

22:40 in the evening.

Yang Ming took a shower and went directly to rest.

Early the next morning.

Yang Ming had just woken up when Azhu 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 party was. Azhu 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 is none other than the great director Yang Jie who has become very popular at home and abroad in recent years with the filming of "Journey to the West".

Asia Television, a subsidiary of the Empire Group, was the first to broadcast the first part, the first half of Journey to the West, which was very popular in Hong Kong at that time. Later, the copyright was sold to China, Asia, Southeast Asia, and other overseas places, and it became equally popular around the world.

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

On the contrary, "Journey to the West" filmed by TVB itself and directed by its own actors during the same period was also broadcast during TVB's prime time at the same time. However, the ratings plummeted, which directly affected TVB's ratings, advertising, and even its market value.

Soon, TVB stopped this self-filmed Journey to the West and replaced it with other series.

In other words, after that, many Xiangjiang citizens could see that TVB in the Shao Yat-fu era was no longer as good as TVB in the Li Xiaozhao era. In terms of production, funding, etc., the gap with Asia Television was getting wider and wider.

Since this Journey to the West, Yang Jie can be regarded as one of the female directors used by Asia Television in China.

Journey to the West has been filmed.

According to Yang Jie's ability, she is preparing to film "A Dream of Red Mansions".

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 as high.

Since last year, Yang Jie has been filming in the Asia Film and Television City in Yang Ming's hometown with her selected actors.

During this National Day ceremony, Yang Jie came to Yanjing for business. When he learned that Sir Yang was here, he happened to come over to meet Yang Ming.

"Hello, Mr. Yang."

"Director Yang, hello."

Yang Ming will not underestimate the talents of any era, whether it is Hong Kong or the mainland, whether they are male or female. However, Yang Jie knew very well that he became 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, don't you have enough funds?"

Yang Ming thought it was a matter of funding?

Since Journey to the West has become popular all over the world, the copyright fees sold have really collected a lot. It is precisely because of that that when Yang Jie planned to film Dream of Red Mansions, Huang Xizhao was not stingy and specially allocated a large amount of funds for the filming.

"No, the funds provided by General Manager Huang are still quite large."

"What's the problem with that?"

question?

Yang Jie still strives for perfection. During the filming of Dream of Red Mansions, she encountered many problems and the release date may be delayed.

These are not problems.

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

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

No matter whether Hong Kong's movies or TV in Hong Kong decline in the future, Yang Ming knows that the market in a country with a population of more than one billion will definitely be much larger than the market in Hong Kong with only a few million people.

Even if Xiangjiang is implemented in accordance with the super city plan in the future, then Xiangjiang will only have a population of tens of millions at most. In terms of market, overall it is still far behind China.

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

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

Yang Ming asked.

"Yes, Mr. Yang, it was actually her mother who found me through connections. I happen to think that this child has some potential and talent. She may not be suitable for music in China. She may be suitable for music in Xiangjiang."

The reason why Yang Jie went to Yang Ming instead of Liang Shuyi was not because she didn't know Liang Shuyi.

The main reason is that Yang Ming is the boss of Asia Record Company and has a close relationship with Ms. Teresa Teng.

Today, Asian record companies have 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 child."

Yang Jie took out a photo from his bag.

Yang Ming took it over and looked at it, and found that it was a young girl who was very fashionably dressed and had an afro.

This child's dress may be a little different from that in China.

Nowadays, the domestic atmosphere is becoming more and more open, and new affairs are becoming more and more popular in the country. However, the current look is really regarded as a non-mainstream look that appeared after 2000.

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

Under normal circumstances.

Now Yang Jie is a great director.

Yang Ming's identity is even more complicated.

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

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

Even if Yang Ming is not approached, Yang Jie may talk to others in Xiangjiang.

Put up a wall?

Yang Ming suddenly felt that this name was somewhat familiar.

Looking at the other party's photos, it seems that he has some impressions.

When Yang Ming stood up.

After thinking about it, he really seemed to remember hearing the other person's song in his previous life.

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

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

When Yang Ming turned around a few times, he couldn't confirm whether it was the other person. If it was the other person, then the female singer recommended by Yang Jie might not be simple.

Zhang Qiang was born in a musical family. Her mother was a violinist in the Z-State Film Orchestra Symphony Orchestra. Zhang Qiang learned violin from her mother since she was a child.

Because in addition to music performances, the Z Country Film Orchestra also records for various movies, TV shows, documentaries, and feature films. The orchestra often has foreign records as internal materials, and these materials also became her early musical enlightenment.

In 1983, Zhang Qiang, who was a freshman in high school at No. 205 Middle School in Yanjing HD District, participated in the HD District Young Singers Competition and sang the Carpenter Band's song "Assorted Vegetables", which caused a huge response.

Not long after, Lin Shuzhen found Zhang Qiang and hoped to take her to record the cassette. In 1984, he participated in the first CCTV Young Singer TV Grand Prix. The judges eliminated Zhang Qiang on the grounds that he imitated Hong Kong and Taiwanese accents and his appearance was too flamboyant.

However, after that, Zhang Qiang became furious.

In 1985, he released his first solo music album "Tokyo Nights", which sold 2.5 million copies. In the same year, the album "Shy Girl" sold 4.2 million copies. In the same year, he and his mother formed a personal team, and simultaneously served as singers, managers, stylists, producers, and supervisors.

Within two years, Zhang Qiang released more than 20 music albums. 1 country's "Time" magazine, becoming the first artist from country Z to be interviewed.

"Time" magazine listed her as the "world's most popular female singer" together with Whitney Houston, Jennifer Rush, Teresa Teng and other six singers, with Zhang Qiang ranked third.

If this wall is that wall.

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