Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1670 Deliberate Rumors

1993 and 1994 were the peak periods of the Chinese music scene, with hit songs emerging one after another, enriching the music collections in roadside karaoke halls.

"I've turned on Guan Tingting's 'Spinning Wood' and 'Hasayaqi'," A Zi said, "and 'Homeland'. Sister Shama, you can sing it."

"Are you still a fan of Guan Tingting?" Zhou Zhi asked.

"There are few girls on campus who don't like her, right?" Shama Ricong said eagerly, "How about we try Da Baozi's "Mountain Songs Are Like Spring River Water"? We have the Hung Hom concert version here."

"Light it up, light it up." Zhou Zhi didn't spoil the fun.

"And there's 'Persistence'! I can't get enough of this version!" Ah Zi continued to click.

This is a pity. At the end of last year, a mainland rock song concert was held at the Hong Kong Coliseum on Hong Kong Island. That concert was considered the pinnacle of mainland rock.

Black Panther, Tang Dynasty, Zhang Chu, He Yong...all performed their famous songs at the concert, which also set off a rock trend in mainland China.

As the only female rock band at present, Dabaozi Band was also invited to perform their famous song "Mountain Songs Are Like Spring River Water" at the concert.

Guan Tingting, who was performing background vocals, also participated in the concert. The shot of the little girl, wearing a denim jacket and a pink baseball cap, with her hands in her pockets, singing the high-pitched background vocals in front of a standing microphone, was recorded by the organizer and became one of the highlights of the evening.

The main reason is that the harmony has a strong folk flavor, but the girl's appearance and movements are too fashionable and chic, which creates a contrast that makes everyone feel very charming.

With just one shot, she gained a large number of fans, and soon some sharp-eyed viewers discovered that the little girl singing in harmony was Guan Tingting.

Guan Tingting is now much more famous than the Big Buns Band. After a deep dig by the Hong Kong media, they unearthed a story about dormitory friendship. As positive youth idols, Guan Tingting and the Big Buns Band have created another small topic in the entertainment industry.

In fact, when the concert started, Zhou Zhi himself was also in Hong Kong Island, but because he was busy with the statue of the king of pop, he was unable to support Guan Tingting and Hu Rui.

Now I can only watch the concert here to make up for the regret.

"Huh?" After Shama finished singing "Spinning Wood" and A Zi finished singing "Hasayaqi", when the prologue of the MV of "Homeland" came out, Wu Renzhong suddenly discovered the lyricist on the subtitles: "The lyricist of the song "Homeland" is also named Zhou Zhi! The composer is Hu Rui and Zhou Zhi!"

Sha Ma suddenly remembered that Zhou Zhi had said that the founder and manager of Zhou Liu Niang Food Company were his relatives. Then, looking at the sauce factory in the picture, he immediately realized, "Elbow, did you write this song?!"

"Yes, my cousin wanted to make an advertising music video at that time, and I helped a little."

"Then do you also know Guan Tingting?" A Zi was a little excited.

"Tingting is my neighbor's little sister. Her parents and I used to work in the same unit. Our two families live on the same floor above and below each other."

"Wow...then please help us get some autographed photos! We love her so much!"

"Okay, but let's sing first." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "I'll write to her another day."

"What is she like in life?" Shama started to sing "Homeland", and A Zi, who was sitting next to Zhou Zhi, kept asking.

"She's a girl similar to you, very lively and outgoing." Zhou Zhi said slowly, "She is still a student at Sichuan Conservatory of Music, and... she also has a Scottish shepherd dog named Tangyuan."

"Huh? This name is not as good as my Black Dragon." Ah Zi was a little curious: "Why is it called this name?"

"Because we just happened to eat sesame dumplings on the day the dog came home, and a Scottish shepherd dog looks similar to a sesame dumpling with the stuffing exposed, so Tingting hastily named it."

"Hahaha..." The origin of this name made Ah Zi laugh so hard. "So if you ignore her profession, she's actually just an ordinary girl like us." Zhou Zhi laughed and said, "She can sometimes be a headache when she gets mad."

Seeing Ah Zi looking suspiciously at the gentle and virtuous Guan Tingting in the MV, Zhou Zhi said, "This is acting, don't take it seriously."

After Shama finished singing this song, everyone stopped singing and watched the MV of the Hung Hom concert together.

Another highlight of this concert was that Guan Tingting and Su Fang collaborated on Su Fang's famous song "Persistence".

Guan Tingting's voice is clear and sweet, which is completely different from Su Fang, who is now known as the "Queen of Smoky Voice".

The song was then interpreted as a story about the deep affection and mutual devotion between a much older sister and a younger sister, which surprisingly fits the lyrics very well.

Both of them sang very emotionally at the concert. Guan Tingting even choked up at one point, and then Su Fang hugged her and continued singing. Although it should have been a minor accident on stage, it moved the audience very much.

Zhou Zhi felt even more emotional when he saw this. Life is often like this. Between breathing and sensing, people may develop emotions and connections with each other.

Su Fang's concern for Zhou Zhi and Guan Tingting did not just come from Tang Qi's instructions. It might have been like that at the beginning, but later on, she completely regarded Zhou Zhi as her younger brother and Guan Tingting as her younger sister.

A nightclub could never be a pure and clean place, but Tang Qi's arrangement of Zhou Zhi to be Guan Tingting's bodyguard was completely useless because Su Fang protected Zhou Zhi as well.

I don’t know if Sufang’s ex-boyfriend who went to Paris knew that Sufang had become a big star. Sufang had kept his performance costumes until she came to the nightclub, when he gave them all to her.

Later, with Zhou Zhi's encouragement, Su Fang made use of her unique voice after its damage, found a singing style and famous songs that suited her, and became famous after changing her style.

The beauty gave me a golden knife, how can I repay her? The relationship between people is actually the transformation from strangers to good friends through giving and receiving.

“It’s been two years since the release of ‘Persistence’ and it’s still on the Golden Songs Chart again. This is a reflection of the strength of Tingting and Sufang!”

"Maybe the audience was touched." Zhou Zhi said, "Such a scene of true emotion is rare nowadays."

This is generally considered an accident nowadays. If the response hadn’t been so good, the company might not have made an album of the concert MV.

"Elbow, there is a saying that Tingting is Sufang's illegitimate daughter. Have you heard of it?"

"What? Cough cough cough cough..."

"Yes, there is such a saying. They say that "Persistence" was not originally a love song, but a song describing the love between mother and daughter."

"This is nonsense. I chose this for Sister Fang. The lyrics and music are by Xu Wei. This song was written by Xu Wei for his wife Yuan Feng. It was originally a love song. Tingting and Su Fang just changed the performance style this time."

"Besides, the ages are not right. Fangjie is only 34 and Tingting is 19. There is only a 15-year age difference between them." Zhou Zhi was so angry that he laughed: "If this is true, then Fangjie must have been pregnant at the age of 14? According to the laws of our country, girls under the age of 14 are considered young girls. Having sex with them for any reason is a serious crime. That's a big deal."

"But they said Su Fang's actual age was 36, and it was changed to two years younger for her debut."

“Hahahaha…” Zhou Zhi was really amused this time: “This rumor was made up with great care. They even added a reasonable plot in order to avoid breaking the law.”
