made an appointment with Chen Baiqiang at Regent. It's been a long time since I saw him, it's dark and healthy again.
"What have you been busy with recently?"
"New album and concert in September." replied seriously. "Yeah, I'm used to answering other people's questions very seriously, and I'm not used to taking the initiative to talk a lot." DANNY replied with a smile.
The air between us was instantly less formal, much better than before.
"What's different about the new album?"
"Well, this album focuses more on melody arrangement and interpretation, and has a new level. And I'm so happy, I think the level of music production this time is better than before. "
Chen Baiqiang showed a very satisfied and happy expression, like a child completing a difficult model masonry, with a dark face with a hint of childishness, so cute.
"Actually, I think my songs, yes, they used to be a little more detailed, but when I reached 'Ripple', it can be said that it was a stage of my youth, and it began to change. " Tianya Road ", I already feel that I have matured a lot in terms of songs, because I have grown up at all, I can never stop at a certain stage. It is a nemesis."
But he is still attractive To fifteen, six and seven year olds.
Or, make yourself grow up, so Chen Baiqiang prefers to sing some old songs?
"credit" is not me
"But my taste is so weird. I don't listen to BEATLES and ROCK N ROLL at all. Those who were nostalgic in the past were ignorant. Maybe because of my family relationship and environmental influence, my mom likes to listen to Cui Ping, Pan Xiuqiong Yeah, I've been listening to it a lot since I was a child, and I got into my head. Now, sometimes inspiration comes, and suddenly I listen to the old TUNE - that is, it's like "No Love"... I have an impulse, it's better to sing it." This is how "Tonight is so precious" came to be. How could I know that I got such an unexpected success, but the "credit" is not me, it must be the lyrics of CHRIS, Zheng Guojiang, who arranged the song. I'm just responsible for singing, there are so few and so few parts. The credit goes to me."
Speaking of the credit, Chen Baiqiang caught a narrow smile, full of childishness. "After the second one, 'Tonight', I will release another record, the one in August. I think, I don't want to say that it is to eat and live Chuotou. I don't mean to eat and live Chuotou, I hope 'Tonight is more precious' It's feasible to find another old song to sing. But I think the tone of "Acacia River" is suitable for me to sing again. And this song is not the main force in the record, but "I Like You" composed by myself. . But I hope people will like my song "Acacia Riverside". Besides, in addition to singing a song to make money, you must respect the author of the song itself, the one who used to sing, sometimes such a good song, It's not like making money and singing when you're good at it. Do you think you can really make money by renovating old songs? You have to respect this song, for example, give a lot of thought and then create another good song. - It must be done well, I think it makes sense to sing again."
Chen Baiqiang at this moment really has a taste of growing up. After speaking, he lowered his head and silently chewed the salad. Occasionally, he looked up at me with a slight smile on his lips.
Why do you mind if I'm rich
"So, do you believe in luck?"
nodded quickly: "I believe, I believe." Putting the napkin on his lips, he continued: "There is one thing I have not yetComfortable. A lot of times, people will "safe" a crime to me, saying that I am a rich man, and this is the crime. why? It's like saying that I do things frivolous and impetuous, carefree. But I think that it is good for a person to do things whether they are rich or poor. First of all, I don't need to tell you whether I am rich or poor. I just do things by myself, and I don't rely on my family to become famous or debut. It's all me Fight for it yourself. Besides, I don't need others to know whether I am rich or not. I do everything I want to create with my own hands, especially if I am a man, even if I am really rich,
, JP, , celebrities, and so on. how? As long as I have a good character, be sincere to others, and respect my profession, why should I care if I am rich? Of course, on the other hand I admit that I have had good luck. For example, there were no setbacks at the beginning, this may be... Well, in addition to thanking God for the blessings given to me - I believe in Buddhism - I myself have a right thought, a kind heart, help people more, not bad people, I I believe luck will follow. "DANNY, who still had an excited look, his tone has gradually softened, and he couldn't think of a small problem, which caused him a lot of excitement.
He shook his head: "Now I try to "latch" to bury my ears and ignore so much. I just hope that I don't do anything wrong and don't harm others, then I can feel at ease."
felt that invisible pressure on The body of this tall and thin boy, but his back is still so straight.
Composition to talk about inspiration
take a sharp turn to another topic. It's about DANNY's composition.
"I make a song by myself, sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's a long time. I stop for a long time, and I can make a song every few days. It's about inspiration. "Tears flow for you" I made a day, "I like you" An hour."
Whoa, an hour?
He smiled and said, "Well, in a piano shop in Central, they bought records, and I was playing the piano, playing it, playing it, and it popped up. That's how 'ripple' and 'I like you' came into being. It seems so simple. In fact, composition is sometimes limited." Yifu failed to show his talent: "Because this is also the psychology of people in Hong Kong, they like to listen to this kind of style, so it has gradually changed to suit their taste. , made a lot of minor out. But I really appreciate Luo Wen , he can remember to sing "Laser" and ignore others. WELL, I really appreciate it."
knows who the hero Chongying is. After all, people are heavy.
I followed a fat woman in the United States
"I am both now. For example, if I give a song, I ask that I do my best to sing it well. Of course, I also like this song myself. No, I don't mind, I'm just doing my best." The orange juice in front of him was gradually decreasing.
"You know what? I started wrong..." What?
"I sang for four years, and I still don't know how to read music. It's not too late to start now, but now I have a lot of opportunities to record, record, and stage, mainly to practice my voice. So I went to the United States. You know For a few months in the United States, I went to court every day, got lucky, and learned how to practice luck. In the United States, I came with a fat woman, an American. She was very strict, and she didn't accept students casually. Introduced by a good friend. If this fat woman is not introduced by a good friend and has no good impression of you, I will not accept it..." DANNY is someone who will leave an impression when he meets him.
"There are many singers LINA RONSTADT, B.SMITH are her students. I learned a lot from her. I learned luck and singing skills: many people say that I am not angry because I am lazy. Some people - Japanese I practiced Qi for three hours, I didn't, I practiced for half an hour, and sometimes I didn't practice. I'm glad God gave me talent, but I'm lazy by nature. One day, when I'm heartbroken and I decide to take it to the next level, I willPractice again. Now I haven't decided to become a professional singer, I want to go on stage, such a profession. Now my mentality is not. If I have to suffer like this in the future, I will do it. But at the moment I am not asking to be a professional singer. I am a good amateur at all. A question of conscience: I haven't even tried to go on stage for one night. Every time I sing, except for group concerts on the radio and recordings, I don't sing anymore. So how am I a profession? However, it is the same as MICHACL (that is, Guan Zhengjie ). But what's even better about MICHAEL is that he has a fixed occupation, so people think he is an amateur, and I'm just my father's occupation - watch, no one knows. But achieving professional standards is my goal. I really hope to do everything: for example, the design... must be of a high standard, good PROFESSIONAL. As an amateur singer in my current capacity, of course I want to be professional. I have gradually moved towards this goal. But what the result is, I can't tell it to myself. I want people to tell me after listening to it. However, I have tried my best and found that I have improved a lot so far. "The mouth is talking, but the eyes are looking at me like Chen Baiqiang who is consulting.
I suddenly came back to my mind: "Well, I also noticed that you have really improved a lot lately. You can also use it well for your emotions." This is true, you will find out.
Unfortunately, I can't arrange music
"Do you like composing, do you know how to compose?" After drinking a sip of orange juice, Chen Baiqiang said, "I like to compose. I have studied the electronic organ (the champion of the Yamaha electronic organ competition, so Enter the music world.) When I play a good tune, I will record it. But I don’t know how to arrange music. Although the peony is good, it still needs green leaves. How can I perform and sing? Music has always been like this for me IMPORTANT. Singing is just my hobby, I don't have to be a good composer and arranger of FAMOUS, but when I achieve more, I can stop for a while and then go to learn basic composition. "
young people's faces, a school of firmness and confidence. Or the sincerity and talent he showed met a bosom friend:
President of Warner Ai "Ripple"
"Yes. I met the president of Warner Records when I went to the United States, and I liked the song " "Ripple", I found someone to record the whole song and let me listen to it. Wow, okay, it's exactly the same as EXACTLY. So I made a song and sang it for me, and made a 45-rpm English record. He said that my English pronunciation is correct and accurate. Recorded The cassette was sent to me. Someone sang it. I hope I can record it. You know that no one in Hong Kong dares to make an English album. Now I have this opportunity. BEST. Originally, Warner Bros. had a foreign market and could record English albums, but not in Hong Kong. The merger of the two record companies is not very helpful, and it is limited to foreign countries. Hong Kong is the world of Chinese songs. But this time I will try everything. Concert After the drive, I will go to the United States." Chen Baiqiang's face was filled with sunlight from the glass window. A beautiful piece.
"By the way, let's talk about your concert on September 11." Lin Zixiang's concert was also a guest, and some people applauded when he mentioned his concert at Hung Hom Stadium . However, I think he doesn't mind because the audience needs different
. As for the content of the concert, will there be a breakthrough?
You don't have to be new to break through
"I don't agree with people saying you have to give something new to break through. You don't have to give something new to break through. Is stripping naked in front of people a breakthrough? Myself The "SHOW" represents myself! How much I have shown, a real me, until 1983I have as many shows as I have. In short, I am worthy of myself and others. As long as my acting skills and singing skills improve, even if you wear T-shirts and jeans, there is no problem. It's like looking at yourself. "
took another sip of orange juice, cleared his throat, and mentioned his concert is always excited. Chen Baiqiang is no exception: "This time my concert is a performance that is good for myself. There won't be many dancers next door. It's just a good FRIENDLY show. There will also be , Lin Zhimei, and who will come and sing and perform. It's a very different performance. You want to come!" It's a good sign to have a psychological burden.
Weng Jingjing is my good friend
Where is Weng Jingjing? "I'm just friends with her. If I'm dating, I won't make it public. Dating is a private matter of mine, and I don't need to tell the world aloud. There are many occasions where I need to date someone, and everyone likes it. This friend, so we arranged to be buried together. It happened to be photographed by someone, so we said we were dating, but in fact, we were together, and if we were willing to take a photo publicly, it might not be dating."
Is it the one who is openly together but refuses to take pictures together? However, looking at Chen Baiqiang, I swallowed it back.
"Weng Jingjing and I are good friends." Chen Baiqiang calmly.
What about Leslie Cheung ?
"People like to compare me to him, I don't feel it at all. I didn't think about comparing myself with others, or I have the heart to compare, my job is to sing my own song." DANNY said tepidly.
"Where's your manager?"
The manager is over
"The manager is over." He laughed and was almost choked by the orange juice: "I mean the contract. Actually, it doesn't have to be (manager), I think a lot of things can be done by myself, I can do it myself. So I don’t think it is necessary. Besides, I can arrange some meaningful things by myself, which I can do without money, not necessarily money, many things!”
hope With his eyes looking far ahead, he really has infinite ideals. There are not many young people who have ideals and are willing to put them into practice. Will he be one of them?
Let's wait and see Chen Baiqiang, who is growing up in the love of the elders!
