1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 40 "You at the Same Table" exploded, and "Campus Folk Song 1" became a hit!
In the summer of 1994, more than 60 college students across the country bid farewell to campus and went to work.

In order to send them off, the National Education Commission and CCTV jointly held a "College Student Night" graduation party, which was broadcast on CCTV 6 on June 24.

The host invited Yang Lan, who was at her peak, when she hosted "Zhengda Variety Show", which was the most watched program in the country.

At this time, Yang Lan had just graduated from university for four years. She recalled the good times of her university, from the "sleeping talk meeting" in the dormitory to the endless aftertaste of the fish-flavored shredded pork rice in the dining hall, she was as kind as a senior sister of her classmates;

Cheng Qianqian, another host next to him, was full of emotions, because he "did not catch up with the good time to go to college" because he came from a drama troupe, and he was very envious to see so many college students in the audience.

You must know that this year's universities have not yet expanded their enrollment, and there are only 60 university graduates nationwide, which is less than one-fifteenth of the current number. College students are still scarce resources, and they are the favored children of heaven.

And this show is unprecedented, completely arranged and performed by college students, and each program is full of youthful vitality.

For example, the "Cheering Squad" dance performed by Yanjing Institute of Physical Education was sung by the Black Duck singing group.

Black Duck is a singing group composed of graduates of the Central Conservatory of Music, and one of the earliest harmony groups in Huaguo. Before, they only sang behind the scenes, and they didn't officially come to the front of the scene until they released their album in 1994.

The singing group "Dream Grassland" from Tsinghua University also took the stage and sang "Growth". The creator of this song is Lu Gengxu.

After Lu Gengxu and his classmates finished recording the program, the director of CCTV said to him: "Go back and wait for the love letter." Lu Gengxu excitedly left his mailbox, but after returning, he didn't even receive a letter, let alone a love letter. .

At this graduation party, He Jiong performed a self-written and self-directed sketch "Infiltration" and played the host of a campus radio station. During the interval between interviews with a campus poetess, he stuffed it into the sponsor's happy insole The commercials, the audience burst into laughter.

Interestingly, this program predicted his future career direction in advance.

At this time, He Jiong was still a sophomore at Yanjing University of Foreign Studies. Before going on stage, he lost his contact lens and couldn't see the audience clearly, so he let go of the performance.

Unexpectedly, the performance became a blockbuster. Liu Chunyan, who was in the audience, thought he was very funny and invited him to join CCTV's children's program "The Windmill" as a co-host.

This led to the scarab and caterpillar, the golden combination in childhood memories.

As soon as He Jiong's sketch ended, a light suddenly hit the audience below the stage.

There is no gorgeous dance beauty, a young man with a parted head, red lips, red face, wearing a white shirt, accompanied by the applause of the students, slowly rose from an elevator, and then sang a song with a guitar .

"Will you remember tomorrow?

The diary you wrote yesterday

Do you still think about tomorrow
You who used to cry the most
Teachers can't remember
You who can't guess the problem

I also flipped pictures by accident
I just remembered you at the same table

who married the sentimental you

who read your diary

who put your long hair up
who made your wedding dress

......"

At the same time, a few lines of large characters were printed on the screen:

""You at the same table"

Lyricist: Gao Xiaosong

Composer: Zhang Weining

Singing: Wang Yang"

Wang Yang is Lao Lang. Many college students in front of the TV felt a sense of being hit in their hearts when Lao Lang sang "Will you remember tomorrow".

At this time, people who listened to the song did not expect that the person in front of them and this song would arouse the memory of the beautiful youth in their hearts countless times when they gradually entered middle age many years later.

All in all, after Laolang participated in this year's college graduation party, the song "You at the Same Table" was completely popular, and it became a mess.

Huang Xiaomao, the producer of "Campus Folk Song 1", also watched the TV rebroadcast, and was moved again. The youthful feeling of Lao Lang on the stage and the impact of the song deeply touched his heart.

Some viewers began to copy the lyrics to the TV while watching the TV rebroadcast the next day, and many people went to the direct audio-visual store and asked for the song "You at the Same Table" by name.

Because of the popularity of the song "You at the Same Table", the album "Campus Folk Song 1" was also sold out. In the past three months, it sold a total of less than 3 copies, and now it has sold more than 2 copies a day. , there is no stock at all.

Fortunately, Dadi Records had intensively printed 5 records before Lao Lang appeared on the CCTV University Graduation Gala, just in case.

As a result, these 5 records were swept away by fans in several major cities across the country in less than two days.

How popular is the song "You at the same table", in Gao Xiaosong's words, "You at the same table" almost vomited.

After the college student graduation party in 1994 was broadcast, Gao Xiaosong turned on the TV at home and saw the melancholy side face of the old wolf; he listened to the radio while driving and heard the warm voice of the old wolf; I kept humming: Who married you who was sentimental, who comforted you who loved to cry...

With the popularity of the song "You at the Same Table", the album "Campus Folk Song 1" also sold more than 10 copies in just a few days, and the sales continue.

And the popularity of the tape "Campus Folk Song 1" also made the other songs in this album gain a lot of dissemination.

Especially the song "Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk" sung by Lao Lang, also because of Gao Xiaosong's innocent lyrics and Lao Lang's deep and vicissitudes of singing, quickly became popular and spread.

As for the song "The Wandering Singer's Lover" sung by Lao Lang, because it is not as good as the two songs "You at the Same Table" and "The Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk", it did not arouse much response.

In addition to the two songs "You at the Same Table" and "The Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk", the most popular song in the album "Campus Ballads 1" is "Those Flowers" sung by Jiang Xiaofeng This song.

To put it bluntly, with the song "Those Flowers", Jiang Xiaofeng also became famous and became famous successfully.

Although the song "Those Flowers" became popular, Jiang Xiaofeng was only famous. Walking on the street, no one knew him. He felt as if he was famous, but he didn't.

Like Jiang Xiaofeng, Gao Xiaosong also had the same distress, because the album "Campus Folk Songs 1" didn't have their photos printed on it at all. Of course, neither did Lao Lang, nor did all the singers.

But after Old Wolf attended the graduation party of CCTV college students, his face was immediately remembered by everyone, and he became a famous singer that everyone knew. Dadi Records also took advantage of the opportunity to sign a contract with him, and began to help him receive commercial performances in Beijing, Shanghai and other places.

After all, Laolang is just famous and a newcomer, not yet a big name. Usually, one song is 5 yuan, and two songs are 1 yuan. "These two songs.

There is one thing to say, Lao Lang's appearance fee was considered quite good in the mainland music scene in 1994.

You know, Mao Amin, the "big sister" in the current music scene, only costs about 4 yuan for a performance. She usually sings two songs, each of which is about [-] yuan.

Compared with popularity, influence, and status, Mao Amin can definitely crush the old wolf.

Don't talk about other things, let's just talk about his works. Mao Amin currently has a song "Missing", a song "Desire", and a song "Mother in Candlelight", all of which are well-known hit songs.

Although Lao Lang's "You at the Same Table" and "The Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk" were also very popular, the audience is mainly young people, and Mao Amin's works are all songs that are familiar to men, women and children.

Compared with the old wolf who has gained both fame and fortune, Jiang Xiaofeng's situation is a bit bleak. He only gained fame, but no benefits, not even a performance.

The reason why Jiang Xiaofeng didn't perform was, on the one hand, that the singer was not popular, and another important reason was that Jiang Xiaofeng didn't sign a contract with Dadi Records, nor did he sign a contract with a brokerage company.

And Jiang Xiaofeng has been recording his new album during this period of time, and has no other income at all, and his savings are almost exhausted.

Fortunately, the record "Campus Folk Songs 1" sold well. Huang Xiaomao also told Jiang Xiaofeng that as one of the singers on this record, he also sang the songs "Those Flowers" and "Drum Tower". A royalty of several thousand dollars.

ps. I obviously update twice a day, why do everyone say that I update slowly...
