When Liang Liang revealed that this person was Chen Min's son, the members of the Beyond band remained quite calm.
They weren't members of any gang; they focused solely on making music, oblivious to everything else, their only goal being to create "do-re-mi."
They really didn't know what Chen Min did.
They didn't know, but Jin Hao did.
Most of the bosses in Hong Kong's entertainment industry have intricate connections with the underworld, and a significant proportion of them are themselves highly respected members of gangs.
Although Jin Hao didn't have much connection with the gang, he still knew a lot about many people and things in the gang.
He knew exactly who Chen Min was.
However, he did not express his own opinion. As long as the Beyond band thinks it's okay, it's their freedom to decide who comes and who leaves.
"Since you've chosen him, let's meet him. We're busy signing contracts this afternoon, and it'll probably be around 3 PM by then. Will he be able to arrive by then?"
"I'll let him know. If he doesn't have anything urgent, he should be able to arrive on time."
After lunch, Liang Liang paged Chen Haojun and then returned to Jinmeng Company to continue recording the album.
The signing process for the Beyond band took two hours, and it was almost 3 PM by the time they finished.
It was at this time that Chen Haojun returned to Jinmeng Company, and Liang Liang and the others had also recorded a song.
In the same rehearsal room where Liang Liang had assessed Chen Haojun that morning, the members of the Beyond band assessed Chen Haojun once again.
Their assessment was different from Liang Liang's; both involved composing English songs by foreigners.
Liang Liang's education level only reached junior high school, and his English was mediocre at best, so it would be strange if he could understand these foreigners' songs.
So he stood there silently, just like Xu Shu entering Cao Cao's camp.
Although he couldn't understand foreigners' music, he could still understand Chen Haojun's playing techniques.
Chen Haojun basically performed to his potential. As long as he performs to his potential, there shouldn't be any problem for him to join the Beyond band, which is currently lacking a guitarist.
Huang Jiajun expressed satisfaction with Chen Haojun's guitar playing, and then tested Chen Haojun's keyboard skills.
Even if Liang Liang doesn't know much about keyboards, no matter what instrument it is, as long as the musician's melody and rhythm are steady and accurate, he is basically not an mediocre player.
Clearly, Chen Haojun's keyboard skills are acceptable; at the very least, if the band is short of a keyboardist, he can easily fill in.
Huang Jiajun was delighted and formally extended an invitation to Chen Haojun.
Chen Haojun never expected that he would unwittingly join the band Beyond, which had just achieved double platinum sales, and he was naturally overjoyed.
This can be considered a win-win situation.
Chen Haojun immediately informed his father of the good news, and then went to hang out with the members of the Beyond band.
Liang Liang had no intention of associating with the Beyond band, but Huang Jiajun followed him like a leech.
Nothing more than wanting a song.
Tomorrow they will officially begin planning their new album with Golden Dream Company, with the initial plan being to release it next spring.
All in all, it's only four or five months. They do have a few songs, but it's completely impossible for them to make them the main single.
"Brother! Can you please not follow me? I don't need bodyguards, and I don't need them. Besides, you follow me even when I go to the bathroom. Are you even capable of this?"
"You promised to give us two songs."
"I promised I would give it to you, so why are you in such a hurry? If you're really anxious, how about this: if you don't mind, go find a pen and I'll write it on a piece of toilet paper for you, okay?"
Liang Liang was annoyed by Huang Jiajun's constant pestering, and even going to the bathroom was a struggle, so she threw the songs "Really Love You" and "The Days Gone By" at him.
Although the song "The Days Gone By" entered the radio charts in Hong Kong for five weeks when it was first released in the previous life, and even reached the number one spot.
However, for some reason, this song doesn't seem to be very popular in mainland China.
When searching online for Beyond's most classic songs, "The Days Gone By" doesn't even qualify for a mention.
I wonder if it's related to the fact that this song wasn't sung by Huang Jiajun.
In his previous life, when Liang Liang first encountered Beyond's songs, he liked this particular song quite a bit, and listened to it even more often than Beyond's most classic tracks.
The opening line of the chorus, "Ten beautiful dreams cover the sky," is especially captivating—it's a song you can listen to endlessly.
Liang Liang's way of listening to music is very different from others.
To use Beyond's songs as an analogy again, his favorite Beyond songs are not "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" or "Glorious Years," nor are they the well-known tunes like "Really Love You," "I Like You," and "The Days Gone By."
Instead, it's "Wake You Up," which has a very low audience and is even unknown to many people.
Although the lyrics of the song "Wake You Up" are not particularly noteworthy, Liang Liang absolutely loves its melody.
The bass intro, in particular, is an absolute classic.
Unfortunately, Huang Jiajun had already passed away when this song was released in his previous life.
This song was written and released during the time when Beyond consisted of three members.
Liang Liang's biggest regret is that she never got to hear Huang Jiajun sing this song.
I wonder what his springy voice would sound like if he sang this song?
Liang Liang believes this wish will definitely come true in this lifetime, but he hasn't released the song yet. He plans to release it when Beyond releases their next album.
Huang Jiajun took it and hummed to himself, as if he had found a treasure.
"Let's call this album 'Truly Love You,' Xiao Liang! What do you think?"
"This has nothing to do with me. Even if you say you really love him, I don't care."
"Just because of these two songs, we absolutely have to get together tonight, it's on me!"
"I don't know if others are going or not, but I'm not planning to go. I need to take some time to look at the songs Chen Haojun composed and see if I can find two that are suitable for performance, even if they can be modified a bit."
"No rush! See you tonight at the Lan Kwai Fong Graffiti Bar!"
After Huang Jiajun finished speaking, he ran off, dragging Wang Fan, Liu Yuyong, and Xiao Yu away to somewhere else.
Liang Liang didn't have time to wander around aimlessly. His time in Xianggang was limited, and before leaving, he wanted to review all the songs composed by Chen Haojun.
See if there are any pearls inside that can glow.
Liang Liang returned to the hotel and took out Chen Haojun's notebook to carefully critique it.
To my surprise, I was disgusted by the very first song.
What kind of nonsense is this?
In a dimly lit alley, a drunkard and a prostitute chat about their ideals.
Is this the worst time the word "ideal" has ever been vilified?
If the lyrics are bad, the melody is brilliant. (This is a fragment of a longer text, possibly a fragment from a larger text.)
However, the melody lacks any highlights, and some of the transitions and connections are extremely illogical.
This song is poisonous, so Liang Liang quickly turned the page.
But I'm very worried that if I look at it any longer, I might die from poisoning.
