Wu Qinglong said: "Chen Jiaming, the producer of Regret, is my good friend. He insisted on following my arrangement. Fortunately, the album has achieved good results in Taiwan Province Province, making me an arranger who has compiled the title song. " The songs "Moonlight in the City" and "Regret" of the album "Regret" have been well received in Hong Kong and Taiwan markets one after another, and Polaroid Company in Jacky Cheung began to find Wu Qinglong to arrange music, such as "Deep Sea" and "I want to blow with you". Then, May's Open Your Eyes and Remember; Stephanie's dark sky and kites; Na ying's crisp and sad romance; Liang Yongqi's Wash Your Face and Coward were both arranged by Wu Qinglong. As Wu Qinglong's arrangement became more and more famous, singers began to ask him to accompany the concert (such as May). As for Wu Qinglong's first large-scale performance, he was the keyboardist of May's first concert in 1998. After several tours, the two had a tacit understanding. Wu Qinglong's May Hong Kong Orchestra Concert in 2000 was also the most stressful one when he was the first music director.
He said, "I used to be a keyboard player, but A-mei gave me such a big chance. At that time, there were about 90 musicians from Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong in the orchestral part, and their music styles were more traditional than pop music. They play whatever you write, unlike pop bands that change with the atmosphere. I feel that I have directly entered the commando training without basic military training. But after overcoming that performance, I am sure I can cope with other concerts. "
In 2002, Wu Qinglong was the music director of the concert tour in Jacky Cheung. "Xueyou 10 held 50 concerts in a month, and I followed him to London, Australia, Japan, Canada and China, setting a record for running the most concerts in a year. He is a 100% powerful singer. He is very dedicated and hardworking. He will take good care of himself, such as going to the gym or running in the morning before the performance, and rushing home to see the children after the performance. His career and family are well balanced. "
Wu Qinglong is neck and neck with Jacky Cheung, while Chen Shufen, Jacky Cheung's agent, was impressed by Wu Qinglong. Fifty concert tours in Jacky Cheung, from winter to summer; Wu Qinglong didn't leave the director's chair for nearly three hours in every game. He even deliberately drank less water and avoided going to the toilet. "I think artists work so hard just to sing, dance and chat with the audience. As a music director, I should at least be present all the time to make sure everything goes well. "
Jacky Cheung's concert was another turning point in Wu Qinglong's career. After attending Jacky Cheung's Hongkong concert in Tao Zhe and Wang Leehom, Wu Qinglong became their appointed music director. As music director, Wu Qinglong is responsible for organizing bands, arranging musicians' instruments, finding harmony, arranging music and choosing songs. He was deeply impressed by helping Tao Zhe find resonance. "He should be able to sing and play musical instruments, and he should be a good-looking candidate. It's hard. Someone called to ask, and I was embarrassed to ask her if she was beautiful! "
Wang Leehom's "Heroes on Earth Concert" is even more unforgettable. In the past, concerts usually started with edited melodies, but Wu Qinglong designed a new story for Wang Leehom, presenting the theme of the intersection of China and the West. "For example, a knight-errant wields a sword and pulls open curtains ... combining pictures and music to bring the audience into the situation, similar to making movie music. The musicians on the scene can't make any mistakes, otherwise they won't be worthy of the picture. " The opening of more than three minutes was the result of Wu Qinglong's hard thinking and revision for more than a month. Many singers like to play tricks on Wu Qinglong at concerts. Tao Zhe flirted with him on the stage during his concert: "When you play the piano, you look very sexy." May arranged for each musician to take turns singing a line from the song Sisters: "You are my sister, you are my baby." The purpose is to "force" shy Wu Qinglong to speak.
Wu Qinglong said helplessly, "A-mei is the saddest, and his heart beats fastest every time. I tried to pull a-mei aside to discuss not to have that paragraph in my spare time, and she said it would be meaningless without that paragraph! " He guessed: "maybe when we first met, they thought I was serious;" Not much to say, just music. When we get to know each other, they will find that I also like joking; Sometimes when rehearsing a concert, we will play some other music after the singer sings a song. "
Wu Qinglong and Jacky Cheung, May, Tao Zhe and Wang Leehom are like old friends. When they come to Singapore, they always like to take their colleagues from record companies to Wu Qinglong for meetings to discuss concerts. Interacting with superstars, Wu Qinglong not only saw their scenery, but also witnessed their difficulties. "Everyone knows Jacky Cheung, and we are embarrassed to go out for dinner with him. Unlike in Melbourne, we can go to the bookstore after eating out, but we can't do it in Asia. In fact, like ordinary families, it is difficult for them to go out with their families in Asia just because they are artists. When Wang Leehom came to Singapore for publicity, I would go to the hotel to find him and take him out for a cup of tea, but people at the next table often kept taking pictures and even asked Wang Leehom for his autograph while eating. Or like A-mei, we took her to visit vivocity, but soon she was surrounded by too many people, so we couldn't continue shopping, and we were embarrassed. Artists are actually very poor. "
