Chapter 506 Andy Lau's New Album Postponed
Chapter 506 Andy Lau’s new album postponed
As soon as He Jin set out for the Golden Harvest Cinema in Kowloon, a phone call interrupted his elegance of watching a movie.
"I plan to take it slow with the new album!"
This was the first thing Andy Lau said after he called me.
"What's wrong?"
"Warner talked to me and hoped that I could release a farewell album with their company, which would also be the end of our friendly cooperation."
Andy Lau said on the phone.
He Jin was silent for a moment, "I understand, then I'll make some arrangements and stack your new album back."
Andy Lau's farewell album with Warner Bros. is undoubtedly the album "Memories".
Among all Andy Lau's albums, this album has low sales figures and poor reputation.
But this album is very meaningful to Andy Lau.
Andy Lau replied.
Among them, the singing careers of Jacky Cheung, Leon Lai, and Aaron Kwok have all declined.
He Jin asked.
"The Fast and the Furious" became a hit, so it naturally caught on with it, so a bunch of films like "Fast Showdown", "Fast Clash", "Fast Women and Furious Men" and so on began to be developed.
No matter how commercial his films are, there will always be elements of artistic films in them.
He'll spend most of his time playing records.
Just as he was about to hang up, Andy Lau suddenly shouted.
During the Warner period, Andy Lau had far more freedom in making music than he did during the BMG and PolyGram periods.
He Jin thought about it and remembered that this movie seemed to exist in itself.
In 1992, he joined Warner Records and became one of the Four Kings with great momentum.
"The film directed by Er Dongsheng is called "Chariots of Fire". It's about motorcycles, not racing cars!"
Of course, now we have to add the song "Seventeen Years Old".
In 1995, he bid farewell to Warner Bros. and returned to BGM. This period should be his most prosperous time.
"Haha...if you don't want to, forget it!"
In the 1990s, he moved to Xinyibao, a subsidiary of PolyGram, and his career flourished, becoming one of the three musketeers in the Hong Kong music scene.
These four stages are BMG, PolyGram, Warner, and BMG/Arts.
According to He Jin, there will be several more films in this series, and he is one of the male protagonists.
After the album was released, Andy Lau even published an autobiography of the album's tracks, "This is How I Grew Up", to commemorate his journey from an ignorant child to a superstar.
"That's good. Oh, one more thing. Director Er asked me to ask you if you are interested in playing a guest role."
He naturally values "The Fast and the Furious" more than he is taking on this movie now.
Therefore, he will not refuse Andy Lau and Warner Records to bring their cooperation to a successful conclusion.
Just like after the success of "Young and Dangerous" in the previous life, Jordan Chan, Ekin Cheng and others from the Young and Dangerous team received countless films of the same type.
In terms of movies, he currently only plans to star in "Fast and Furious 3". It is unknown whether he will star in other movies in the future.
He Jin smiled.
All the songs on this album are covers.
By the way, pay attention to the schedule in February, "Fast and Furious 3" will be filmed in February."
Most of his well-known classic songs come from the Warner era.
"Then take the photo!"
As for "The Fast and the Furious", that's fine.
Therefore, he is not worried that if Andy Lau plays the role in this movie, people will watch "The Fast and the Furious" again and it will cause drama.
Maybe he felt a little guilty because he had already signed a contract with China Star, but he still released records for another record company, China Star's archenemy, Warner. This made him feel a little guilty, Andy Lau said apologetically.
"The cooperation between Warner and me in the past few years has indeed benefited me a lot, so please forgive me."
I've got a new play here, and I still want to read the script, so I won't say more, I'll treat you to dinner another day."
This is how connections come about. If you help them once, you will find them next time and others will agree.
Andy Lau said.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was during this period of his singing career at Warner Bros. that he became the Andy Lau that everyone would love in later generations.
During Andy Lau's singing career, he has released hundreds of songs.
During the Warner period, the cooperation between Warner and Andy Lau should be considered a happy one.
If the current movie affects Fast and Furious, then he naturally doesn't want to.
Andy Lau's singing career in his previous life had four stages.
"By the way, the movie I accepted is a motorcycle racing movie. Will starring in it have any impact on "The Fast and the Furious"? After all, it is the same type of movie."
"It just so happens that if your new album will be released for some time, I can prepare for my brother's and my new album with peace of mind!"
“Let’s talk about it then! You know, I will be very busy this year, and the album hasn’t even started recording yet!
"Thank you for your love" in Cantonese, "Water of Forgetfulness", "God's Will", "Happy Horse", "My True Style", "Secretly Enchanted".
NewMelody Company is a music studio registered and established by Andy Lau himself.
He Jin did have some bad blood with Warner, but he had to admit that Warner had nothing to say to Andy Lau.
Although last year's "New Love" received good box office results, Er Dongsheng is still not confident about this "Chariots of Fire", so he wants to bring He Jin and Andy Lau together in "Chariots of Fire" to increase the topic
sex.
He Jin smiled.
Busyness will be He Jin’s theme this year.
This movie was in the top ten at the box office in its previous life in 1995. It was considered a good movie.
But for Andy Lau, without the solid foundation from the Warner era, his future achievements may take a different path.
As is the custom in Hong Kong, whoever gets angry will be the one who loses.
Starting from this period of time, the dominance of the Four Heavenly Kings on the music scene declined, and the new generation of singers launched attacks on their positions again and again.
The studio copyright of all Andy Lau's songs during this period belonged to NewMelody, and Warner Records and Warner UFO Taiwan were only the distributors.
However, although Andy Lau during the BMG period in the late 1990s was the most prosperous time.
"The Fast and the Furious" is no exception. He Jin's family has several racing movies that he has been invited to star in.
"etc."
Andy Lau nodded and said again.
Not only them, but also the supporting actors who starred in "The Fast and the Furious" have taken on many such movies.
Moreover, it’s just a guest appearance and it won’t take long.”
"what movie?"
In the 1980s, he had a feud with TVB and his career hit rock bottom until he signed with BMG Records and started to improve.
"good!"
A trace of weirdness flashed across He Jin's face, "He is really planning to cheat!"
"It's up to you! But if you have time, you can still make a guest appearance, just to expand your network.
"It's nothing. Warner really has nothing to say to you. A perfect ending would be the best thing."
Andy Lau hesitated.
These songs all come from the Warner era.
The four stages represent the four peaks of his career.
Andy Lau naturally understands Er Dongsheng's thoughts.
Most of the songs are classic Cantonese songs from the 1970s and 1980s.
"I don't need to say much, we brothers, I don't want to say anything. I believe you understand me.
Evergreen is indeed his symbol, because he is the only man in the music industry who has been at the top from the 1990s to the future.
Just like Yu Rongguang, when he was on the phone with He Jin a few days ago, he said that he had received a movie called "Speed Showdown".
And Andy Lau is one of the male protagonists, so he is no exception and must have received many movies of the same type.
He Jin said and was about to hang up the phone.
Er Dongsheng is a director who likes to engage in literature and art.
Only Andy Lau is as stable as Liu Dehua. No matter the wind or rain, no one can shake him in the slightest.
Andy Lau smiled.
Because of the success of "The Fast and the Furious", there are already many follow-up movies on the market.
Andy Lau said on the phone.
"I know, I will consider it."
He Jin still agrees with Andy Lau's words.
In the entertainment industry, which is a big mess, there is a completely different difference between having a lot of connections and having no connections.
Chapter completed!
