Chapter 218 Exhortation
If this matter is put on other celebrities, it will definitely mean a lot different, but it will convince Song Yi when he said it from the rich daughter.
After He Minyi satisfactorily made several songs from Song Yi, she became more enthusiastic and lively, and her neglected little sisters were soon amused by her.
While a few people were chatting casually, Song Yi also asked about her acquaintance with Anita Mui. It is rare to have an audience like Song Yi, so He Minyi told her story. He Minyi started to spend time with her sister at the age of 13 and met superstars such as Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, Jackie Chan, Jacky Cheung, Lee Zongsheng, and other superstars. Anita Mui encouraged her to sing and brought her into the industry.
It was the first time Song Yi heard these inside stories, which is not surprising. Although he had some interactions with the Hong Kong entertainment industry in his previous life, he knew more about some of the inside stories than ordinary people. But at that time he had no intersection with He Minyi, and only knew her. When he got along at this time, he thought she was a very good person.
Finally, He Minyi mentioned that Anita Mui was going to hold a concert in the mainland recently. She was naturally envious and felt that she didn't know when she could perform a personal concert. Her biggest wish was to hold a solo concert at the Hong Kong Red Hall like Anita Mui.
Anita Mui smiled and said that as long as Song Yi was willing to help, I believe that the day would not be far away.
Song Yi smiled modestly, and he could see that her relationship with Anita Mui is really good. But thinking about it, He Minyi has such a high starting point and has always been half black and not popular, which is indeed a bit embarrassing. No wonder she is not satisfied with the current situation. However, this is also related to the star fortune of people. Every year, so many celebrities debut, including children like big stars and directors. It is easy to make them appear on the screen, but it is really not easy to be accepted by the audience.
He Minyi also said, "I will definitely go to support Sister Mei's concert. Song Yi, if you have time, you can also go and see it."
Song Yi replied, "If you have the chance, I will definitely go and support you. By the way, where will Sister Mei be held in the mainland concert? How are you preparing now?"
"The first stop is in Guangzhou, and will tour in various places later." He Minyi helped explain, "It is Sister Mei's wish for many years to hold a concert in the mainland. A few years ago, Sister Mei was planning to hold a concert, but due to various reasons, it was delayed. This year, I finally started again. I hope this time will go smoothly."
After hearing this, Song Yi remembered some past events and asked them, "If this happens, Sister Mei needs to pay more attention. After all, the mainland is not as open as Hong Kong's thinking."
Anita Mui smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, the relevant parties said hello and could not sing forbidden songs like "Bad Girl" and "The Witch".
He Minyi immediately said angrily, "This is too ridiculous, their thoughts are too antique."
Song Yi explained, "This is impossible. The mainland's thinking is not as open as you. Singing such songs may be because of the fear of affecting children. After all, there are many students who listen to the concert."
Song Yi has always felt that there are still big differences in the ideology between the mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan. It is definitely not enough to take the democratic and free walk on the street. Especially in politics, as a singer, just sing your own songs well, and don’t participate in other aspects.
He Minyi stared at him with wide eyes, "I really can't tell, your thoughts are quite traditional."
Song Yi was not angry at all, but instead laughed, "The facts are not as simple as you imagined. There are indeed quite a difference between the two places. Girls in the mainland are not as comfortable as you. They can go to nightclubs when they are in their teens. They just need to go home before twelve to half past twelve. They will worry if they don't go home until dark. For example, if you give up going to college to be a singer, your parents didn't agree at first. It's common for everyone to live in different environments and different ideas. You can't force others to recognize your ideas, and you have no right to criticize others for what they do."
He Minyi pouted and was a little dissatisfied. Song Yi ignored her and continued, "So-called following the local customs, if Sister Mei wants to be successfully held in the mainland, it is best to do it according to relevant regulations. Since there are songs that cannot be sung, then be sure not to sing them. Be careful that you are always fine. Otherwise, those who are being missed by the relevant departments may not be able to get over it for a long time. Once you sweep their face, it is not impossible for them to ban you for a few years. People live in this world and cannot be as good as they can, and they always have to make some compromises."
"I will remember Xiao Song when he is intent." Hearing Song Yi speak so heavily, Anita Mui nodded as if she understands something.
He Minyi was still dissatisfied and muttered, "How could they be so domineering? What if the fans enthusiastically requested to sing such a classic song?"
Song Yi said sincerely, "Then make up your mind and ignore it. If you are impulsive and use your acting career as a bet, it will be too late to regret it. I still want to support Sister Mei's concert in the mainland. I know Sister Mei is a good person, but if Sister Mei is soft-hearted and found an excuse to ban it, it would be a pity. I believe Sister Mei doesn't want to repeat the incident a few years ago."
In her previous life, Song Yi, the banned star Song Yi remembered many of them. Anita Mui was one of them. She was banned for seven years because of singing the banned song. After the ban was lifted, her life was almost over. This experience is also the most regrettable thing in her artistic career.
Seeing his expression becoming more and more serious, He Minyi looked a little scared, "I said, the consequences will not be so serious."
Song Yi said to her solemnly, "Minyi, you naturally don't understand when you are in Hong Kong. You also know that Wang Mingyang and I have also run entertainment companies in the mainland, but those who have dealt with them personally are quite clear about their attitude towards such things. If you want to develop in the mainland, you have to follow the unspoken rules, and you and I are no exception. If Minyi wants to develop in the mainland in the future, you have to follow the local customs. Of course, if you want to give up the market there and just want to develop in Hong Kong and Taiwan, you can sing whatever you want, say whatever you want, and say whatever you want, and have no difference in ideological and political positions. But as far as my personal suggestion is, the main responsibility of a singer is to sing well, the responsibility of an actor is to act well, and try to do as few other thankless things as possible."
He Minyi curled her lips. Although she didn't say anything, she still felt a little uneasy in her heart. Song Yi no longer explained it. He Minyi was a bold and rebellious girl. She insisted on doing whatever her parents said she couldn't do it.
"Thank you for your reminder." On the other hand, Anita Mui, who had been in trouble for a long time, really listened to her heart and sincerely expressed her gratitude to Song Yi. In her opinion, Song Yi's words really make sense. She didn't know the thoughts of those people in the mainland before. With the advice of Song Yi, an insider, you can at least make less taboos. It has always been her wish to go to the mainland to hold a tour concert. Who doesn't want her singing to be heard by more people? As Song Yi said, if you want to succeed, you must make some compromises.
This time, Song Yi was very content. As long as Anita Mui could listen, it would be great. Anyway, Song Yi thought that he would do this, and he would be the most righteous.
The only thing Song Yi is worried about is that she is afraid that once Anita Mui, who is generous and generous, will not be able to control herself and sing songs she shouldn't be singing. He has told her the most serious consequences now, it depends on how she will make a decision when she is on the scene.
In order to help them better understand the situation in the mainland, Song Yi also told them some of the entertainment review systems and rules in the mainland. Although Song Yi was reborn, he did not think about changing these rules. That was unrealistic. How to use these rules reasonably and gain his own interests is what he wanted to do.
Putting aside the heavy topics before, Song Yi talked about which movies and songs have been banned in the mainland in a semi-taught tone. Of course, it often makes people feel quite absurd. They will not happen in novels in movies, but they have actually happened in reality. This also makes Anita Mui and He Minyi more vigilant. In Song Yi's words, "This is a magical world."
Of course, a few people didn’t drink when they were chatting. Even though they looked at a few girls, they were very good at drinking. Song Yi also saw the style of girls in the Hong Kong circle. In comparison, mainland girls are much purer.
He Minyi went home after she was in her teens and went to nightclubs at around 12 o'clock. At this time, she was already an adult, entered the entertainment industry, and moved to Hong Kong. Her family didn't care at all, so there was no way to have fun. Stars like Anita Mui often played with He Minyi and the others in nightclubs. Many celebrities sang in bars and nightclubs before they became famous, and they worked very late, and it was not surprising that they played until one or two o'clock in the night, or even four or five o'clock. This was especially true when they were having parties at home, drinking some wine, listening to music, playing guitar, and sometimes even causing neighbors to come to scold them.
In comparison, Song Yi is much more well-behaved. He still remembers Su Mei at this time, and I don’t know if she has slept.
He Minyi and others who were happy about Shu were surrounded by Song Yi, especially He Minyi's younger sisters, who were not afraid of being eaten by Song Yi and forgot what time was.
The party ended at 1:00 a.m. Before leaving, Song Yi specifically instructed Anita Mui not to violate the taboos and sing banned songs during the concert. This is also the heartfelt warning of him, a latecomer...
