Zhang Qiurui recalled that among the first Cantonese songs released by Deng Lijun, none of them were classics. The first Cantonese song sold less than 50,000 copies, which was not even a platinum record. The first Cantonese album was considered a flop.
So, in this life, Zhang Qiurui directly helped her reach the top.
Yes, Teresa Teng has not reached the peak of her career yet. The late 1970s and early 1980s were the time when she was most popular. Her singing was known everywhere and she was hailed as an "international superstar."
The first and second songs are "Thousands of Songs" and "Song of the Sunset".
These two songs, one melody and two lyrics, caused a huge stir in the Hong Kong music scene at the time and became classics in the hearts of countless people.
The two albums were released in the same year, one sold 200,000 copies and the other sold more than 300,000 copies.
Although the two songs have the same tune, their lyrics and singing styles are different.
"Thousands of Songs" is more gentle and lyrical.
"Sunset Song" is more powerful and emotionally tense.
Both songs were very popular at the time and became classic Cantonese songs.
If "A Thousand Songs of Songs" sings about everyone's current emotions or past feelings.
Then "Sunset Song" is more heavy-hearted and resonates with a minority of people. If you don't experience it, you won't understand it.
"Sunset Song" is like a glass of strong liquor, becoming more and more mellow.
The strength of these two songs depends on whether you are young and ignorant or have experienced the ups and downs of life.
The third song is "Season of Wind".
This song is known for its beautiful melody and profound lyrics. The melody is light and natural, the lyrics are beautiful, the melody is graceful, the rhythm is brisk, and it is very memorable. It is very suitable for Deng Lijun's style.
The fourth song is "It's Rare to Find a Lover"....
The fifth song is "Infatuation in Exchange for Deep Love"......
The sixth song is "First Love"...........
The seventh song is "Everyone Has a Dream"....
The eighth song is "Falling Snow"......
The ninth song is "The Evening Breeze Blows in My Heart"....
These nine songs plus the previous "Walking on the Road of Life" make up exactly ten songs, which is enough to complete an album.
After deciding on the nine songs, Zhang Qiurui began to slowly recall the lyrics, first writing them down one by one, and then matching the appropriate tune for each song based on the melody in his memory.
He was able to finish the lyrics and music of three songs in one night. Before the composition competition, Zhang Qiurui had completed all nine songs.
And on the morning of going to Xingcheng to participate in the essay competition, I went to the post office, put a stamp on the letter, and mailed it out.
This time, Zhang Qiurui also wrote a letter to Cheng Shufen, tentatively asking her if he could help her publish a book in Hong Kong. Any price was negotiable. If there were quality issues and the newspaper or publishing house did not approve it, the matter would be dropped.
In his words, Zhang Qiurui kept a low profile.
........。
"Auntie, here." After finishing breakfast in the morning, Zhang Qiurui went out first to mail a letter. She did not go to the station with Zhang Mingqi. As soon as she arrived at the station, she saw her eldest niece waving at her.
"Qiu Rui, why are you so late? If you don't come, we will miss this bus." Wang Shi said while looking around anxiously, as if the bus was about to leave in the next second.
"Teacher Li, Teacher Zhou, Teacher Tang, I'm sorry, students. I had a stomachache today and delayed you. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Zhang Qiurui got in the car and glanced at Mingqi. Seeing Mingqi shook her head slightly, Zhang Qiurui immediately understood what was going on.
Knowing that Mingqi had not told anyone else about her going to the post office to mail a letter early in the morning, she made up an excuse.
"It's okay, the car hasn't left yet. Hold on to the handrail, the car is about to leave." Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhang Qiurui coming.
She thought Zhang Qiurui was not going to participate in this essay competition.
"Luckily you came, otherwise your teacher Li would have gone looking for you. After finding you, after this bus left, he planned to take the next bus to go to Xingcheng Yucai High School with you.
It seems your teacher Li is very optimistic about you in this essay competition." Tang Zhi glanced at Zhang Qiurui and said.
"I will definitely not let Teacher Li down." Confidence flashed in Zhang Qiurui's eyes.
"Just have confidence. Hold on tight."
Zhang Qiurui grabbed the handrail, and as the car started, she swayed, and the scenery outside the window gradually became vivid.
This time, there were six people from Class 1 and three people from Class 2 from No. 1 Middle School who went to participate in the composition competition. There were two classes in the second grade of junior high school, each with six people, plus three teachers, for a total of eighteen people.
The road was bumpy and there was no place to sit, which made Zhang Qiurui feel dizzy and uncomfortable.
She glanced at Zhang Mingqi who was sitting next to her, and saw that Zhang Mingqi was also staring out the window, as if thinking about something.
"Mingqi, what are you thinking about?" Zhang Qiurui couldn't help but ask.
"Aunt, I was wondering what topic I would be asked to write my composition on." Zhang Mingqi turned around, her eyes filled with confusion and anticipation.
"When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Just do your best.
"The competition is secondary. What's most important is what you've gained from the competition and whether you've grown. That's what matters most." Zhang Qiurui patted Mingqi's shoulder to ease her tension.
"Qiu Rui, I think among all of us participating in the competition, you and Wang Shi are the only two who are not nervous.
Wang Shi came to participate in the competition just for fun and never thought about winning a prize.
