1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 122 The red-hot new album is back with Xiangjiang!

On June 6 and June 5, Zhou Huimin held a farewell concert in Atlantic City and Las Vegas in the United States, and then she announced her withdrawal from the entertainment industry.

In the first week of the release of Jiang Xiaofeng's "Jiangnan" album, the genuine sales of the album exceeded 50 copies in mainland China, 10 copies in Hong Kong, 20 copies in Taiwan Province, and 100 copies in Asia. [-] million mark.

At the same time, the word-of-mouth record of "Jiangnan" has once again been highly recognized by the audience and industry insiders.

Some people even claimed that Jiang Xiaofeng's "Jiangnan" record was the greatest record in the Chinese music scene in the 90s.

Jiang Xiaofeng alone took three of the top ten Chinese-language top records selected by a well-known music magazine in Taiwan.

They selected Jiang Xiaofeng's "Jiangnan", "Golden Age" and "Cross-Era", Luo Dayou's "Zhi Hu Zhe Ye", Cui Jian's "Rock and Roll on the New Long March" and Qi Yu's "Rugby" for selection. As "Top Ten Top Chinese Records".

For this selection result, Jiang Xiaofeng was not complacent, but felt that he deserved it. He felt that his three albums were just relatively popular and did not have high artistic value.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Jiangnan" album should be Jiang Xiaofeng's most diverse album since his debut.

In the album "Jiangnan", in addition to Chinese style, there are also rock, rap, electronic music and other styles of songs.

The album "Jiangnan" has a total of 10 songs, which are:
Song 1: "Jiangnan"

Song 2: "The Moon's Trouble"

Song 3: "The Girl Opposite Look Over"

Song 4: "Breakpoint"

Song 5: "If Love Is Gone"

Song 6: "Looking at Her"

Song 7: "The Most Beautiful Sun"

Song 8: "Sound Wave"

Song 9: "Love Is Just One Word"

Song 10: "Goodbye"

Among the 10 songs, the title song "Jiangnan" with the same name was the first to become popular, followed by "Look at the Girl Opposite", and "The Moon's Trouble".

In the streets and alleys in early June 1997, whether it was in mainland China, or in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the speakers often played "We who don't understand love, hate, love, and sorrow, think that falling in love is like the fickleness of the wind and clouds", the Walkman's The tape can't always fall "the girl on the other side look here, look here, look here".

On the major music charts this month, the three title songs of Jiang Xiaofeng's new album "Jiangnan", "The Moon's Trouble" and "Look at the Girl Opposite" took turns occupying the top spot.

As for songs such as "Breakpoint", "Goodbye", and "Looking at Her" in the new album, they also squeezed into the top ten of major music charts.

May 6st, morning.

The total sales volume of Jiang Xiaofeng's "Jiangnan" album officially exceeded 200 million copies two weeks after its release in Asia.

In order to thank the fans for their support, Jiang Xiaofeng not only carried out promotions in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but also held signing events in Singapore, Malaysia and other Asian countries during the past half month.

Because it was so popular, Xiangjiang media even listed Jiang Xiaofeng's "Jiangnan" album, together with Xiangjiang's comeback, as the two biggest events in June 1997.

Of course, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Jiangnan" record is just a pop music album after all, so it must not be compared with such a big event as Xiangjiang's return. After all, this is a big day for the whole country to celebrate.

However, it can be compared with Xiangjiang's return, which also proves the influence of Jiang Xiaofeng's "Jiangnan" record in the entire Chinese-speaking region.

September 6, evening.

After finishing the promotional work for the album "Jiangnan", Jiang Xiaofeng returned to Yanjing, to the courtyard house in Houzhai Hutong.

When Jiang Xiaofeng came back to Yanjing this time, in addition to meeting his two girlfriends, Tao Hong and Gao Yuanyuan, he was also invited by CCTV to participate in the Hong Kong Homecoming Gala held by CCTV with Leslie Cheung, Liu Huan, Gong Li and other superstars.

The first thing Jiang Xiaofeng did when he returned to the courtyard was to make an appointment with Taohong to come to his house for lunch.

During the meal, Taohong told Jiang Xiaofeng: "I bought a house in the third ring road, and it cost more than 60 yuan."

Jiang Xiaofeng gave a "hmm" and said, "I should have bought it a long time ago. If I don't lack money, I can buy two more sets."

Tao Hong asked suspiciously: "It's fine to live in some houses, why buy so many houses, what if the house price drops?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said unhappily: "It's impossible to fall. Yanjing is our capital, the most unique big city in all of China. You don't need any reason or hesitation to buy a house in Yanjing. Just buy it."

"Let me tell you this, Yanjing's housing prices will become higher and higher with the economic development of our country,"

"Don't think that the house price of 5000 yuan in Yanjing San is already very high. After a few years, you will know that Yanjing's house price is not the highest, only higher!"

Tao Hong looked at Jiang Xiaofeng suspiciously: "It's not such an exaggeration, the housing prices in Yanjing have risen a lot in recent years."

Jiang Xiaofeng said bluntly: "Anyway, you listen to me, you are right, as long as you have money, you can buy a house with it. Even if there is no filming in the future, you can still live a good life as a renter by collecting rent."

"However, I must remind you that if you want to buy a house, you must buy a house in Yanjing, as well as a house in the Shanghai stock market, and at worst a house in Shenzhen. Houses in most other cities are not so cost-effective. "

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng's unquestionable expression, Tao Hong also felt that what Jiang Xiaofeng said was very reasonable, and she also became very interested in investing in real estate.

Taohong smiled and replied: "I see, you don't need to talk to me about the big reason anymore, I will just buy it, I will listen to you, if I have time these few days, I will go to see the house and buy two more houses. "

Jiang Xiaofeng was very pleased, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I feel very happy that you can listen to me."

Tao Hong smiled and asked back: "What you said, did I not listen to you before?"

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Yes, I gave you money before, but you didn't want it. You don't know how disappointed I am."

Tao Hong held Jiang Xiaofeng's hand, also with a moved face, and said seriously: "I know that everything you do is for my own good, and I won't do this again in the future. I will listen to you in everything."

Jiang Xiaofeng joked with a smile: "You really listen to me in everything? Then can I take a few concubines if I want?"

"That's fine, as long as you like it." Tao Hong also nodded with a smile, and then said solemnly: "But you can't let others know, you are a big star after all, if people all over the country know that you take concubines, it will hurt your reputation." negative impact on image and image."

Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't laugh or cry and said: "I'm just joking with you, why are you so serious."

Tao Hong looked at Jiang Xiaofeng firmly, and said, "I'm not joking with you, I'm serious, I know your needs are very strong, and I can't satisfy you by myself."

"Every second day after meeting you, I feel like I'm about to fall apart. It's fine once or twice. If it's like this for a long time, I won't be able to bear it at all..."

Hearing Tao Hong's words, Jiang Xiaofeng sighed guiltily: "Oh, I'm sorry for making you suffer."

Taohong smiled and shook her head: "I didn't suffer, I'm actually very happy, but I also know that my ability is really limited, and I can't satisfy you."

"If you have something you like, and you like it, just accept it bravely. I won't care about you. You can do whatever you want as long as you're happy. But be careful and don't bring it home..."

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't expect Tao Hong to be so open-minded, but was a little surprised and sad, and asked anxiously: "Do you love me?"

Tao Hong smiled and denied: "How is it possible, I, Tao Hong, will only love you in my life."

Hearing Tao Hong's words, Jiang Xiaofeng was also very moved, and took Tao Hong into his arms.

On June 6, tens of thousands of overseas Chinese students, scholars and overseas Chinese from all over the United States held a grand parade in Washington, the capital of the United States, to celebrate the return of Xiangjiang to the motherland.

Also on this day, the EGL Overseas Chinese Association in Tokyo held a reception to celebrate Hong Kong’s return to the motherland. More than 200 overseas Chinese, Taiwan compatriots and representatives of Chinese institutions in Japan attended.

On June 6, Chinese, overseas Chinese and Mexican friends residing in Mexico held a grand event in Chinatown, Mexico City to celebrate the return of Xiangjiang to the motherland. Members of the Mexican "Huafu Lion Dance Troupe" also performed a dragon dance performance.

Thousands of Chinese and overseas Chinese from all over the UK gathered at the London Indoor Arena to watch the live TV broadcast of the Hong Kong handover ceremony.

……

All in all, Chinese people all over the country, and even Chinese people all over the world, are celebrating the great joyous event of Hong Kong's return in various ways around the world.

March 6th, late.

Hong Kong's Return to the Arts Gala was held at the Hong Kong Hung Hom Gymnasium, with brilliant stars and an unprecedentedly strong lineup of performances.

Among them, Alan Tam, Lin Zixiang, Ye Qianwen, Andy Lau, Zhang Xueyou, Li Ming, Guo Fucheng, and Wang Fei are the first eight superstars to sing on the same stage for the first time.

They sang several songs together on stage. This combination can be said to be star-studded, and it is difficult to have a lineup that surpasses it in the future.

When the melody of "Tomorrow Will Be Better" sounded, Ye Qianwen awakened everyone's "sleeping hearts" with a very penetrating voice, while Wang Fei said ethereally: "Youth is incomprehensible, and it blows the hearts of young people. "

At this time, there were two young women with a height of more than 1.7 meters on the stage. One was elegant and refined in a light green Chinese-style top; the other was confident and chic in an innovative white cheongsam.

Immediately afterwards, Andy Lau, then 36 years old, dressed in elegant white clothes, stood upright in the middle of the drum team and sang "same blood, same species, and we still have dreams in the future, let's develop together" quite forcefully.

Before he came on the stage, the drum team, which had been performing on the field for several minutes, was composed of the gong and drum team from Wangshen Village, Linyi County, Shanxi, and the flower drum team from Hejin. They were all farmers and it was their first time. When I came to Xiangjiang, there were boys and girls in the team.

On this day, they from Shanxi countryside also witnessed the return of Hong Kong in Xiangjiang and sang "Chinese" with Andy Lau. This year they are also at the age of full ambition.

Known as the "Daughter of Xiangjiang", Anita Mui also enjoyed herself on stage and sang four classic songs in a row - "Weaving Clouds and Beauty", "Summer Lovers", "This Is It" and "Dance of the Fire Phoenix".

Four songs, four styles, she changed clothes quickly and comfortably on the stage, wandering in the music, and the audience's thoughts also drifted with her expression, her posture, and her voice.

……

Many first-line star artists of Xiangjiang attended the performance of the gala, and many behind-the-scenes staff participated in the song creation and stage performance.

In addition, at CCTV's Hong Kong Homecoming Gala in Yanjing, Jiang Xiaofeng sang "Reunion" together with Leslie Cheung, Gong Li, Na Ying, Liu Huan and others in the Workers' Stadium. This star lineup is equally strong.

After Gong Li sang "a century of running, for today's reunion" in a deep voice, Jiang Xiaofeng sang to the camera in a low volume and affectionately: "Mother blesses the Oriental Pearl, and tomorrow will be more beautiful."

At this time, there was a "little singer" on the stage, few people knew him, but he was on the same stage with these big stars.

She was originally just a sample singer who was in charge of sending demos to Naying, but she was accidentally selected by the director to be on stage, and was invited to practice singing together by the "big stars" she admired. She was Tan Jing.

Jiang Xiaofeng also remembered Tan Jing's name this night, and in the backstage lounge, offered her an olive branch and invited her to sign a contract.

At this time, Tan Jing was still a student of the Huaguo Conservatory of Music, where she majored in vocal music of famous ethnic groups, but she also knew the pop music scene very well, especially Jiang Xiaofeng, the king of singers in our Huaguo mainland, who had been admired for a long time , but because the happiness came so suddenly, there was no way to give Jiang Xiaofeng an answer for a while.

In addition to Tan Jing, Jiang Xiaofeng also met actress Gong Li at this evening. Jiang Xiaofeng had to admit that Gong Li did have a charm and allure that other female stars did not have.

Backstage at the party, Jiang Xiaofeng said excitedly when interviewed by reporters: "I am very happy and proud to be able to participate in our CCTV party celebrating the return of Xiangjiang."

Leslie Cheung also proudly said: "The song "Reunion" is very majestic. As a Chinese, it is an honor to be able to participate in the celebration of the return. I feel very happy and I will do my best."
