    Wu Chuchu had a falling out with the Duan brothers, left the Rolling Stones and formed his own UFO Records. In fact, he didn't go very far.  The major shareholders of Rolling Stone Records and UFO Records are both Wang Zijun. One is on the 11th floor of the Wang Liuhe Building and the other is on the 12th floor of the building.

    The two record companies are not far apart, and their general managers used to be good friends, so it stands to reason that they have a good relationship.  But the reality is that the two companies don't like each other and often compete with each other.  The veteran singers of the two companies were fine, and they met each other in a friendly manner, but the new singers were affected by the atmosphere and even ridiculed each other's singers in public.

    At UFO Records, Meng Tingwei had just finished recording a single. When she walked out of the recording studio, she saw Chen Xiunan and Wang Jie, who were talking and walking towards her.

    "Hello, Teacher Chen, hello, Brother Jie!" Meng Tingwei nodded quickly to say hello.  Needless to say, Wang Jie, the current prince of love songs in Taiwan, is also her predecessor; and Chen Xiunan is even older. He was in a band with Li Zongsheng, left Rolling Stone Records with his boss, and is now a gold medal producer of UFO Records.  .

    When Chen Xiunan saw Meng Tingwei, he quickly waved to her and said, "Xiumei, I just have something to tell you. Come to my office."

    Wang Jie said to Chen Xiunan: "Then I will go to the recording studio."

    "Go." Chen Xiunan nodded, took Meng Tingwei back to his office, and said, "Find a place to sit by yourself."

    Meng Tingwei sat down with some anxiety. She had only been with UFO Records for more than three months. She had only sung two theme songs for TV series and was about to record a single to test the waters.  At this time, Chen Xiunan came to her. Could it be that something went wrong somewhere?

    Chen Xiunan smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, it's a good thing. Just prepare yourself, the company has decided to send you an album in August."

    Meng Tingwei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at Liuhai and said: "Didn't you say that you will decide based on the sales of the single?"

    "What, you're not happy with the company's decision to send you a record?" Chen Xiunan glanced at Meng Tingwei thoughtfully, took out a music book from the drawer and said, "You're lucky, Master Jun wrote it specially for you.  A song. It's called "Come to Taipei to Watch the Rain in Winter."

    "Master Jun? Which Master Jun?" Meng Tingwei asked confusedly.

    Chen Xiunan said funnyly: "Who else is Mr. Jun?"

    "WangWang Zijun?" Meng Tingwei opened his mouth.

    Chen Xiunan smiled and said nothing more. Although he is a veteran of UFO Records, he is still considered a junior compared to Wang Zijun.  Wang Zijun is a singer who debuted in 1971, although he hasn't released a record for many years.  But he is still the idol of many singers today.  In addition, he has shares in Haishan Records, Rolling Stone Records, and UFO Records. It can be said that his influence in the Taiwanese music scene is unparalleled.

    The scandal between Meng Tingwei and Wang Zijun's son was widely circulated last year. No one can tell the extent of the scandal, but now Wang Zijun suddenly helped Meng Tingwei write a song.  This is intriguing.

    Is it to take care of your future daughter-in-law?

    With Wang Zijun¡¯s care, as long as Meng Tingwei is not tone-deaf, he will definitely become popular.

    Meng Tingwei is in a complicated mood now. As a newly debuted singer, let alone Wang Zijun.  Even Wang Jie is someone she can only look up to.  Now that Wang Zijun suddenly helped her write a song, she was excited and confused. Others didn't know it, but she knew it. She and Lin Yi were innocent, and they were not as gossipy as the paparazzi wrote.

    There is no airtight wall in the world, let alone UFO Records deliberately leaking the news.  Within a few days, the news that Wang Zijun wrote a song for Meng Tingwei spread all over the world, and some gossip magazines even claimed that.  It is said that Meng Tingwei has visited Wang Zijun at home, and both parents agree

    No matter what, Meng Tingwei¡¯s album hasn¡¯t come out yet, but he has become the darling of the media again.

    Wang Zijun actually has no special meaning, he was just writing his farewell song to the record.  Suddenly I remembered Meng Tingwei and copied a song.  After all, UFO Records is his company, and Meng Tingwei was the only Taiwanese singer whose record sales in the 1990s could compete with the Four Kings of Hong Kong. Why not give him a thumbs up in advance.

    July.  Just when "Holy War" was being released in Taiwan, the "Gongxin Daily" broke the news about Mr. Li's deputy's corruption and bribery.  Just as Wang Zijun expected before.  As soon as the scandal broke out, it was not only the members of the Li family that were hit, but the image of the entire KMT, which made its already bad reputation even worse.

    Wang Zijun doesn¡¯t care about this. He hasn¡¯t had a good rest for two years. He rarely relaxes and stays at home to enjoy life. He occasionally goes to Hong Kong and mainland China.

    UFO Records and Rolling Stone Records, which have been competing in the ring, have also had temporary results. UFO Records signed Aaron Kwok, who came to Taipei to shoot commercials, and sang "?"You Can't End Love" became popular throughout the Chinese-speaking region, and with the continued performance of the Little Tigers, UFO Records was in full swing.

    Next is Meng Tingwei's "Watch the Rain in Taipei in Winter", which sold 300,000 copies in Taiwan alone, and the sales in mainland China, represented by Everbright Music, reached more than 4.5 million.  More than 1 million copies were sold in the Nanyang region, and the total sales volume was close to 6 million copies.

    This data shocked people in the industry. Taiwanese singer Han Baoyi's album sold the best in mainland China, but it only sold more than 3 million copies. Meng Tingwei actually sold 4.5 million copies, which is incredible.  .  As for sales in Taiwan, Wang Jie's album, Prince of Love Songs, can only sell 200,000 copies, while Meng Tingwei's debut album can actually sell 300,000 copies.

    So some media started to say that Meng Tingwei must have achieved such results because of Wang Zijun's strong support behind him.  Meng Tingwei's fans reacted a bit loudly, and the unanimous voice was to tell Lin Yi to stay away and not harass their goddess.

    Statistics from Taiwan¡¯s tourism department show that the number of overseas tourists in Taipei that winter increased by nearly 40% compared with the same period last year.  A large part of these new tourists decided to travel to Taipei in winter after listening to "Come to Taipei to Watch the Rain in Winter".

    So, Meng Tingwei naturally became Taipei¡¯s tourism ambassador.

    "Come to Taipei to Watch the Rain in Winter" immediately won 4 awards including Best Song of the Year and Best Mandarin Album of the Year at the 2nd Golden Melody Awards.  As the award guest, Wang Zijun will release his last farewell album in the New Year after the award ceremony.

    There have always been some fans who thought that Wang Zijun's retirement from the entertainment industry was just talk. Now that Wang Zijun has announced that he will release his farewell album, they finally feel that Wang Zijun is serious, and fans' fantasies are suddenly shattered.

    ¡°Brother Jun, Dayou, starting from the sentence ¡®Goodbye to my best friend and leave for this city¡¯, I will record this section again.¡± Zhang Aijia took off her headphones and said.

    "OK!" Luo Dayou gestured.

    Luo Dayou completely quit Rolling Stone Records six months ago and opened his own "music factory", specializing in making songs for movies and TV series, and occasionally releasing albums and singles.

    Wang Zijun released a farewell album this time, and used Luo Dayou's divine song "Queen's Avenue East" in advance, and specially invited Luo Dayou to sing with him.

    ??????????????????? Plagiarizing other people¡¯s songs and asking the original author to sing as a backup singer, our Lord Jun has no pressure at all.  Anyway, Luo Dayou would be banned from the mainland because of this song, and he was not allowed to develop in the mainland until 2000. Jun Ye thought that he was helping him by copying this song.

    There is a saying that if you don't do it, you won't die. Lao Luo actually used the avatar of a great man in his music video back then. It would be strange if the mainland didn't ban him.  Wang Zijun is not stupid enough to do such a thing. As long as he does not use the portraits of great people casually, although this song contains allusions, it will definitely not reach the level of being banned.

    Wang Zijun's farewell album is called "Dream Chaser", which includes "Queen's Road East", "Pompous", "Birch Forest", "Dream Chaser", "Norwegian Wood", "In the Name of the Father", "apologize"  ¡±, ¡°cotton_eye_joe¡± 8 songs.  There are 2 Cantonese songs, 4 Mandarin songs, and 2 English songs, adhering to his usual album style.  Of course, it can also be divided by song type, such as rock songs, country music, etc. Among them, "cotton_eye_joe" is a folk song that has been circulated in the United States for more than a century and has been covered dozens of times by various singers. It is not Wang Zijun's "original song"  work".

    "Brother Jun, your song "In the Name of the Father" is so weird!" After recording "Queen's Avenue East", Luo Dayou said while listening to the demo of "In the Name of the Father".

    Wang Zijun smiled and said: "Is it weird? It sounds like fun."

    Luo Dayou shrugged. Wang Zijun¡¯s album is not limited to this weird one. The whole album is very mixed, and each song has a completely different style. But he is really playing music and is not afraid of affecting sales at all.

    Although Wang Zijun doesn¡¯t care about sales, the production is not just for fun. Not only did he find Luo Dayou to sing the chorus, but he also asked Zhang Aijia and Chen Shenglai to be the producers.

    "Master Jun, you have been recording for a day and your voice is tired from singing. This is tea specially made to moisten your throat." As soon as Wang Zijun sat down, a young girl came in with a cup of tea, but it was Chen Sheng and Zhang Aijia who had just collected it.  Female apprentice and assistant Liu Ruoying.

    Luo Dayou is good friends with Chen Sheng and Zhang Aijia, and naturally knows their chief female disciple. He joked: "How come Master Jun has it, but neither masters nor I have it?"

    "What are you in a hurry for?" Liu Ruoying turned around and went out, and soon brought in three more cups of throat tea.

    Wang Zijun saw Liu Ruoying busy and said with a smile: "Why does Xiao Liu want to be behind the scenes? With your appearance, you can definitely become an actor."

    Chen Sheng smiled and said: "Ruoying is a vocal music major at the University of California. She is a very talented woman.?Music is her thing.  "

    Liu Ruoying said: "I have sometimes thought about becoming an actor. I think it is quite fun. However, I have no acting experience, so no director would ask me to film."

    Wang Zijun smiled and said: "How about you be the heroine of my music video."
