Relationship with Universal

Go East has an unclear relationship with Universal Records (HK). Kelly used to shoot a MV for Jacky Cheung. Jacky Cheung was at PolyGram (later Universal, as everyone knows). Kelly should have signed with Universal, but in fact he was in Zhengdong. Signing in the east is equivalent to signing in the world (HK) in disguise. A very small number of Zhengdong records are distributed outside Hong Kong by Universal (HK) (mainly in Mandarin-speaking areas). Most of them are distributed by Foremost Records in Taiwan. You can find out by watching many of Kelly's MVs. .

Strictly speaking, Foremost is related to the Zhengdong Group, and the relationship is extraordinary. However, Foremost is responsible for overseas distribution, which is not what we are discussing today. Everyone should know that PACO (Huang Paco), the super gold medal manager in the HK music industry, has served as a senior executive in Zhengdong for many years.

The authentic Zhengdong system includes: Zhengdong Records, CinePoly Records (CinePoly), and Shanghua Records (HK) (all of which can be regarded as founded by PACO). The scope is slightly expanded. Zhengdong Records A brief list of all the elites in front of and behind the scenes in the department (including those currently in service and those who have left). Including singers

A-list: kelly, Jason So, Miriam Yeung, Andy Hui, Jordan Chan

TVB: flora, bowie, young master, Chilam, Ma Zai (only one of the most important ones was sent in Zhengdong (selection)

Others: Jacky Cheung, Kit Chan (Kit), Alex Fong, Tang Kin-hong, Ronald Cheng, Lee Choi-wah, Cookies (including mini Cookies, no longer a 9-member group)... .Waiting for the people behind the scenes

Non-staff producers: Wu Lecheng, Chen Huiyang, Lui Songde, Eric Kwok (these four are the producers of Kelly and Miriam respectively. Lui Songde is also the producer of both of them. Unfortunately, in In TVB dramas, they never do much), Alex San (this person is one of the producers of Ma Zai, until The Bodyguard, basically all the drama songs that Ma Zai sang for TVB, he was the producer, considering that he has Posted a most important selection in Zhengdong, so...). Composer/arranger

Composed by Huang Shangwei, Wu Guojing and composed by Liang Zhishan The main part of the Eastern Department, but because the people behind the scenes serve different singers, and the singers are signed by three different companies, they have successfully avoided the so-called situation where two tigers cannot be accommodated in one mountain.

PACO left Zhengdong and took some people away. The strength of the authentic Zhengdong group was greatly damaged (mainly reflected in the four joint awards), so the scope of the Zhengdong group was expanded. At the same time, the distribution of singers is listed. Zhengdong

Kelly, So Yongkang, and Xu Zhian (the ones who stayed were all those who did not renew their contracts with PACO as managers. It was said that Kangzi also left at that time, but the latest selection was not issued by the new PACO company. Still It's Zhengdong) New Art Treasure

flora, Chilam (flora means, it seems that the album will not be released for a while, but there is no information to say what has been changed, so it can be reckoned for now. As for Chilam, on the surface it is Tianxing, but it is estimated that Tianxing belongs to a subsidiary company of Xinyibao. These can only be seen in the release film.

Just like Liu Tianwang signed with JJ Records, but the film was released by EMI (HK), the relationship is obvious) Shanghua

(HK): Jacky (I guess, I haven’t heard that it will be changed, so change it) If so, he would have gone back to Universal)

Huang Shangwei Production Co., Ltd.: bowie (it was Huang Shangwei’s own production company established in 1999, and he went it alone) Viking

Miriam (it was EMI A subordinate of the group, someone of Miriam’s level is not suitable for PACO’s new company) Gold Medal Entertainment

Gold Medal Entertainment Co., Ltd.: Basically everyone else is here, including the young master (PACO himself) ’s new company, everyone else is here, except for the date when Rain paid his own money to fly to PACO to leave) The relationship with TVB

To be honest, if you carefully study the TVB dramas, you will know that the Zhengdong series The relationship with TVB is definitely not ordinary, the coverage is quite wide, including many dramas. The most important ones are the FOJ and HH series as well as Luoshen, which are all produced by the Zhengdong Department. Speaking of the Emperor series, EEG is responsible for publishing the albums of FOJ and Genesis, and some of the stuff that Lao Jia sang for TVB. But Lao Jia left... As for Jianxingxing, the original soundtrack of the HH series was released by it, and Ma Zai belongs to Jianxing (manager company), so that's probably the case. TVB dramas will not lose in this aspect. How much to give EEG. But the Zhengdong department has a very obvious characteristic. More than 40% of the dramas are handled by people from the Zhengdong department. There really is no need to say more... Singer

OK, let’s start with the detailed introduction. There's something for everyone, starting with the singer.

kelly: Although kelly has a good relationship with TVB (she should not lose to anyone at the same level), she has very few songs in TVB. The theme song "Rebirth Flower" is one of the very few. , the quality can be considered above average, and it is indeed very comfortable to listen to. I would also like to thank Lin Xi for her kind words.

Su Yongkang: Needless to say more about this guy, the number of appearances... Even the strange hero of Rainbow in the Night who has nothing to do with him has been dealt with. It really goes without saying. When talking about Kangzai, the first two series must be FOJ and HH. In comparison, other series such as Rainbow in the Night can only be regarded as second-class products. Similarly, these are also my main recommendations for Liang Zhishan's works. I particularly recommend the Ver2.0 version of "Don't Want to Be Happy Alone" (one of the main ending songs of HH1) included in 2003.11. It was reworked by Huang Shangwei and the level is even better than the 1.0 version ( The ones I heard before were version 1.0).

Andy Hui: He also didn’t make many moves in TVB (it seems to be a common problem among big names. Among the big names, the only ones who are better are Hacken, Sammi and Liu Tianwang, and the others are not too many). Although there is a bitter medicine as a base , but my recommendation is the interlude of "The Bodyguard", the solo version of "Teach Me How Not to Love Her" (it's hard to find, usually it's the duet version with Dexian Ye). According to the information, it is a rare collaboration between the three great masters Lin Xi, Huang Shangwei and Lei Songde on the same stage. Lin Xi has seen a lot of collaborations with the other two, but the three of them have not done much together, and Lei Songde is the composer and Huang Shangwei is the arranger (both of them are masters in this field).

flora: Speaking of flora, although this is not the first time she has sung for a TVB drama, and she has released three albums, it should be said that she is pretty good. Although I mentioned the "fixed partner" song last time, my favorite is actually TITS' "I Don't Love You," a collaboration between Huang Shangwei and Zhen Jianqiang. This is one of my must-listen songs every day.

Chilam: Very early on, there was a song called Rare Confusion. Later, there were the theme songs of Huangpu Qingqing and How Could It Be? In 2000, there were Good Wishes, Chen Shaoqi's Another Day and Lan Yibang. The love is dreamless, everyone likes it very much. Love Without Dreams and Another Day, both songs are very warm and make people feel comfortable listening to them. As a new composing talent nowadays, Lan Yibang is definitely of a good standard, otherwise he would not be the number one hit of Coffee Or Tea. As the saying goes, it is useless for Liu Tianwang to have so many great composing talents, but let a newcomer be responsible for the first album of his own multi-album in a year. The main title can already explain a lot, not to mention that the race against time theme music that everyone heard was also composed by Lan Yibang... I still prefer Another Day, specifically because of Chen Shaoqi, Chilam, or even Bobby and Kenix , Kuang Yesheng’s negotiations, many times, I can’t explain clearly myself.

Regarding Chilam's songs, I think I can use the words of a fan to say that his songs are always like that. The first time you listen to it, you may not feel too much, but the second or third time you listen to it. ..(Tips: Listening more is indeed the best way to deal with any song or theme song. Listen carefully, understand the lyrics, and maybe even study them word for word, and you will understand a lot).

Jacky: Needless to say, he is a god of singing. Sam, as a representative figure of the 1970s, really doesn't feel that way to people my age. Besides, I'm not a GD guy, so the impact is naturally even smaller. But Jacky, there is really no need to say more. Like many singers of the same generation, we have witnessed with our own eyes how they achieved such success step by step. Although I don’t have any collection of Xueyou’s albums (it’s really incomparable with Eason), I don’t even have a collection on my computer. But I really admire Jacky’s skills. I’ve seen many live performances (many of which were hosted by CCTV). Normal people should be able to tell how well they sing and what Jacky is like. Even as Eason's successor, occasionally, LIVE is still a little bit worse than Xueyou. I often tell people, only Xueyou, that the feeling of listening to Live and listening to CD is exactly the same. Considering Jacky's age... Jacky doesn't have many credits in TVB, such as the theme song of O Remember I, 99 Flying Fox's Love You So Much I Don't Know It Pain, Drunken and Drunk Movies, etc. In fact, these three are all good, so it’s really hard to choose. The only regret is, why can’t the length of Drunk and Drunk Movies be longer?

Kit Chan: Kit still has some works in TVB, Drunk and Drunk Movies, Fengshen Bang, Every Life for You, HH2’s Anesthesia and Ignorance Don't wait. I finally chose Unknowingly, Henry and Lang Ping's theme song produced by Huang Shangwei. Listening to it at different times is completely different.

Miriam: In my impression, Miriam was only involved in the show "The King of Deliciousness" back then, but did not comment on it (I didn't watch "The King of Deliciousness" myself, and the quality of the VCD was really...it's TVBS again. The replica product has been harmed by DIF4 once, I can only hope that it will be fully introduced in China as soon as possible). Miriam's performance in TVB songs has always been quite satisfactory and of average quality. It will never be at the level of the theme songs of the two versions of Free Travel and Subway. In the end, I chose a song from Notes in Red: Willing to Be For You, with music by Yu Yiyao and lyrics by Lin Ruoning. It is more relevant to the title and the quality is OK.

Tang Jianhong: It seems like it was the first time that he officially sang the theme song for TVB (although I know that he had done it once before), and it also caused a wave of people looking for mp3s on the Internet. I found the trend very early. It had a good click-through rate and became popular for a while. As for him personally, I want to position myself more and get to know him better in the days to come.

Li Caihua: Rain is really...not suitable for singing. You wouldn’t think that I chose the theme song of Rainbow, right? I still reluctantly chose Quicksand. The biggest feeling is that the song Quicksand is Gu Jiahui’s. The creation is very good, but it feels to me that Ma Zai is the lead singer and Rain more often, so I say this, really, quicksand is probably the limit. Or movies are more suitable for her.

bowie: I feel like it was too late for bowie to speak up. After eight years of waiting, he finally spoke up in HH2. I was shocked instead, and later I gradually learned about bowie. Musical things. I’m no longer surprised, and for the time being I still choose HH2’s Love Can’t Be Exported as my recommendation. When listening to this song, I will think of Bowie and Flora, but... Sons and Daughters of the Golden Bough and Arsenic. I haven't heard the full version yet, so I didn't choose it as a recommendation. The CD has been released, and it is one of my main targets. . This album was originally expected to be released by Zhengdong, but suddenly East Asia Records came out. I don’t know if this record company is related to Zhengdong. Considering that Bowie changed his agency to M8 Group, or is a subsidiary of M8 Group, it is also possible.

Lin Feng: Haha, the young master is the last one to introduce. Actually, I have a little question for you. Remember to Forget, Forget to Hurt, Twin Dragons, etc. (In short, I would not choose Yun Hai’s True Love Is Hard***, and I would have no idea that it is a masterpiece by two masters without looking at the information). After careful consideration, those who choose law and forget the harm are not those who choose to be reborn and forget. When listening to Forget the Hurt, the most important thing is Lin Xi’s lyrics.

As for the song itself, when I asked someone to look up the information, and the information came into my hands, the only thing that surprised me was that it was actually composed by Feng Hanming (one of the most famous composers, Peerless Good Dad was arranged by him, Huang Shangwei, and Ou Zhishen , the work is the hit song "*** Girl"), because Young Master is that kind of newcomer, and he has not released an album, so it was really surprising to invite Feng Hanming so quickly.

PS: My personal question was from two years ago. Is the interlude sung by the Young Master in Flowing Gold about forgetting the harm? Or something else? Is there a specific song title? Behind the scenes

The singer said it was simpler behind the scenes. Liang Zhishan mentioned it before, and Ou Zhishen also mentioned it, Lin Ruoning and Zhen Jianqiang, there will be a special introduction to them in future posts. I will mainly talk about Li Min and Wu Guojing, and finally introduce Huang Shangwei.

Li Min: It can be regarded as one of the most promising newcomers in the poetry world in the past few years. Even Huang Zhan was optimistic about Li Min and Liang Zhishan at that time. Unfortunately, in recent years, they seem to have no new poetry. Maybe he went on to do other things when his works appeared? What we can hear today are still works from the early years. Speaking of TVB, the theme song of When a Woman Falls in Love with a Man is not too low-key, the two theme songs of Genesis (which can be regarded as the latest works), and an interlude sung by Ma Zai in FOJ5 are all written by him. The best partner seems to be the right one. It's Liang Zhishan. In fact, Liang Zhishan can compose music/lyrics, but more often we see lyrics. I have the impression that I have seen works written by Li Min and composed by Liang Zhishan. I can’t remember who it belongs to. But when it comes to Li Min, my personal recommendation is not a TVB work, but a tacit understanding song by Sammi. It seems to be related to the movie 100% series. That song is really a classic.

Wu Guojing: Many people know that Wu Guojing also came out of the Rookie Competition. When Wu Guojing holds a concert, look at who is there to support (Sammi and others are among them). Personally, I feel that Wu Guojing made the right choice, because after becoming a rookie, he knew that he was better at behind-the-scenes creation, so he immersed himself in it, and finally became a popular music composer because the more he kissed, the sadder he became. Huang Shangwei and Wu Guojing were responsible for the composition/arranging/production work respectively. With Lin Xi's lyrics, the singing was left to Su Yongkang. Once upon a time, it was a unique scenery in the Zhengdong Department. Just like in Galaxy Image, Johnnie To and Wei Jiahui are responsible for directing and producing the script, leaving it to Sammi, Andy Lau, etc. to perform. In TVB dramas, Huang Shangwei may appear more often, while Wu Guojing rarely creates alone, and the number is not too many. There is Genesis Wu Qilong's "You Don't Know How to Love Me" (Liang Zhishan/lyrics), and it seems that he also wrote an ideal partner for Daxi House as an interlude (duet with flora). I listened to Sammi's original version of this song before, and I still feel this way. The choral version is better. The latest one may be Wei Xia's Death of Old Age, which also has a two-person duet version. It seems that I rarely collaborate with Huang Shangwei. I suggest you listen to the latest work, Kelly's Sorry Is Not You. Personally, I feel that the Cantonese version is always better than the Mandarin version. This is true for many works. It has been like this for many years. I can’t figure out why. I have a preconceived idea? Or maybe it is.

Finally, I will introduce Huang Shangwei. Huang Shangwei: It can be said that he is one of the top musicians in Hong Kong. He is a small opener of Zhengdong Records. As for asking me how many masterpieces Huang Shangwei has written over the years? It is similar to Lin Xi’s situation. Too many to count. He is the producer (supervisory producer) of flora, bowie, and Su Yongkang. In TVB dramas, as long as the three people speak, it is Huang Shangwei who writes most of the things. He has a very good relationship with the three people (including Wu Guojing, because Wu Guojing is behind the scenes, So for a few of his own albums, he can be the producer himself, without having to rely on others). The latest discovered work of Huang Shangwei was 12 years ago, during the great era of 1992, when he wrote two songs for a certain movie in Chengcheng. Relatively speaking, Huang Shangwei's targets are more fixed, namely Su Yongkang, Flora, Bowie and Xu Zhian, and maybe Kelly also has some. Of course, other people also have some, but the proportion is really small. Huang Shangwei's best partner is Wu Guojing as composer and arranger. Lyrics can be written by Lin Xi, Lin Ruoning and Zhen Jianqiang. Wu Lecheng and Lei Songde can also be paired together. The work was briefly mentioned before. The most typical masterpieces are still the two series FOJ and HH, especially the two signature theme music of the FOJ and HH series. No matter what version they are, they are the works of Huang Shangwei Production Co., Ltd. and were created by him.

An additional explanation is that there may have been Huang Shangwei Production Co., Ltd. (that is, his own studio) very early, but it was not until PACO left Zhengdong that this name officially appeared in our field of vision. In the past, it was Zhengdong Records or New Yibao Records. What I hope most is that the upcoming HH3 can still publish the original soundtrack, and that the entire album (including the theme music) can continue to be completed by Huang Shangwei himself. Bowie, on the other hand, estimates that when HH3 comes, Cast will be about the same as Jin Zhi. Flora Ma and Su Yongkang are no longer here. Except for the theme music and the indispensable English interludes, Bowie will have to sing all the songs by himself. Yes. Moses is really not confident. Think about it, you can suddenly release a soundtrack in a matter of seconds (including the previous BF soundtrack, which was also unexpected. According to me, it should not have been released), HH3 should have it. Others

Many times, Xinyibao Records will appear under its company’s English name. Don’t suddenly think that people suddenly changed record companies (this is a typical example when I rushed up, and it was not marked as Xinyibao). album, but with an English name)? Bowie's album has been released, and non-BT downloads are also available online. This time, it includes kenix, bobby, yoyo and maggie. *** Virgin Enters the Sea (website language), please support me! Bowie himself said that he and Huang Shangwei were working on this album, which coincides with this article
