1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 52 Entering winter, Yanjing's rock and roll ambitions!
late April.

The three-month brokerage contract between Jiang Xiaofeng and Wang Jinghua has officially come to an end.

Undoubtedly, the cooperation between Jiang Xiaofeng and Wang Jinghua this time is definitely a win-win situation, and both of them have obtained the benefits they want.

However, Wang Jinghua was very optimistic about Jiang Xiaofeng's potential, and didn't want to miss Jiang Xiaofeng's cash cow, and wanted to renew a long-term contract with him.

Jiang Xiaofeng directly refused, and told Wang Jinghua her thoughts face to face: "Sister Hua, thank you for your care and support these three months, I really appreciate it, but I'm sorry, I plan to develop in Xiangjiang next year!"

"But don't worry, I will come back again. At that time, as long as you don't dislike it, I will find you to cooperate again."

Wang Jinghua looked at Jiang Xiaofeng in disbelief: "Xiaofeng, isn't your choice too impulsive? Now you have finally become popular in our mainland, what are you doing in other people's territory?"

"Don't you know that if you go to Xiangjiang, it means that all the achievements you have achieved now will be reset to zero, and everything will have to start again?"

Jiang Xiaofeng nodded, and said solemnly: "Sister Hua, I know what you said, but Xiangjiang, I must go!"

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng's firm eyes without any hesitation, Wang Jinghua asked in bewilderment, "Why? Can you tell me the reason?"

Jiang Xiaofeng thought for a while and said, "Sister Hua, I want to go to Xiangjiang while I'm young. Both Wang Fei and Na Ying can succeed in Hong Kong and Taiwan. I think I can do it too. I have confidence in myself."

After hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's answer, Wang Jinghua couldn't help laughing, feeling that Jiang Xiaofeng's thoughts were too naive, she was simply overconfident, and she didn't know how much she weighed.

In Wang Jinghua's view, the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene is not so easy to mess with. The more prosperous a place is, the more devastated it is behind it.

In fact, there were many reasons why Jiang Xiaofeng chose to go to Xiangjiang to develop, and it was not on impulse.

For example, Jiang Xiaofeng wanted to represent the mainland music scene and meet the four heavenly kings of Xiangjiang.

For example, Jiang Xiaofeng hopes that he can succeed in Xiangjiang and occupy a place in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene.

For example, Jiang Xiaofeng wanted to meet and communicate with Zhou Huimin.

such as……

All in all, Jiang Xiaofeng's idea of ​​going to Xiangjiang is not a day or two. This is a plan he had before he left the mountain.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng only had more than 10 bank deposits left after buying the courtyard house, the prices in Xiangjiang in 1995 were not particularly high. Jiang Xiaofeng took the money and stayed there for a few months. Survival should not be too much. Big question.

If Jiang Xiaofeng really can't get along in Xiangjiang, he can come back anytime, and he doesn't have to worry about sleeping there.

Moreover, even if Jiang Xiaofeng went to Xiangjiang, it does not mean that he will no longer release Mandarin records. He will still focus on Mandarin records. After all, there are still a small number of people who listen to Cantonese songs.

Knowing that Jiang Xiaofeng had made up her mind, Wang Jinghua just sighed helplessly, and said nothing more.

However, as the old saying goes, there is no righteousness in buying and selling.

Although the cooperation between Wang Jinghua and Jiang Xiaofeng did not come to an agreement, she did not turn against each other because of this. She also concluded in her heart that Jiang Xiaofeng would retreat in the face of difficulties and return from Xiangjiang in despair.

11 month 24 day.

Under the leadership of Zhang Peiren, the Four Heroes of Moyan and the Tang Dynasty Orchestra held a small concert in Tianjing in the form of ticket sales, making the last audition for the upcoming concert at the Xiangjiang Red Hall.

Since there was not much publicity before the performance, and it was a concert that required money to buy tickets, not many audiences came to watch the performance live.

If it was free, the audience would be at least twice as large, at least those who like to join in the fun would definitely not miss it, but the ticketed performances made many people feel that it was not worth it, and they felt that they might as well go home and listen to tapes or watch TV.

Therefore, out of 1000 tickets for this small concert, only 523 were sold. Faced with such a dismal loss, Zhang Peiren felt powerless and helpless.

Although Zhang Peiren is a native of Taiwan, he is indeed one of the important promoters of Huaguo rock and roll. No one hopes more than him that Huaguo rock and roll headed by the "Four Heroes of Magic Rock" will be successful.

Zhang Peiren also hopes that next month's Hong Kong Hung Hom concert will be a success, realize "export to domestic sales", and indirectly promote the rock market in mainland China.

Although before the event, Zhang Peiren knew that he would lose money.

Because they had tried three shows in Changchun, Changsha, and Nanjin, and found that except for Nanjin, the remaining two were particularly dismal.

Counting the Tianjing event, in the short term, Zhang Peiren didn't want to do any more auditions, and planned to take the big guys back to Yanjing to rehearse honestly, and make a final effort for the Xiangjiang concert next month.

In fact, Zhang Peiren is not the only one who is under great pressure to hold a concert in Xiangjiang. Everyone is suffocating, wanting to prove ourselves and the strength of our Yanjing rock music in front of the Xiangjiang audience at the Hung Hom Stadium in Xiangjiang.

Guitarist Deng Acura, like Jiang Xiaofeng, is both 19 years old. He Yong often told him that the media and audience in Xiangjiang looked down on us, and Deng Acura was so angry that he worked hard every day to practice the piano, for fear of embarrassing the band in Yanjing.

What He Yong said was not wrong.

In 1994, Xiangjiang's per capita GDP was US$22000, ranking 15th in the world.

Huaguo mainland is 472 US dollars, ranking 130th in the world, still behind Mongolia, Bhutan, and Gambia.

When many Xiangjiang people mention the mainland, they will say three words contemptuously: Cousin, Ah Can, and Beigu.

This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Xiaofeng insists on the development of Xiangjiang. He just wants the audience of Xiangjiang to know that mainland singers can also call the wind and rain in the Xiangjiang music scene like the four kings.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaofeng is not idle, and spends seven or eight hours every day rehearsing with the overload band, and learning playing techniques from Liu Yijun, the fifth member of the Tang Dynasty band, who is known as "the first guitarist in Huaguo". .

Lao Wu's guitar skills are not superficial. Before his debut, he was accepted by Yanjing's highest music institution and considered a "lightning guitarist". He was also the first in China to master the guitar keyboard from behind his neck. people.

At the end of the 80s, Laowu's name was already very popular in the domestic music circle. At that time, there was a saying that can prove it: "There are Laowu in the north, and Laozi in the south."

Both of these two are recognized by experts as the two major guitar masters in the north and the south, and their superb skills are a bit like "the dragon sees the head but doesn't see the end".

Although Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't learn Lao Wu's difficult techniques, but with the guidance of Lao Wu and Li Yanliang and other guitar masters, his guitar skills also improved by leaps and bounds.

From the beginning of late November, the cold weather enveloped the entire Yanjing.

Siheyuan facing the water is actually a building that is warm in winter and cool in summer, but since Yanjing is really cold in winter, there must be such things as whether there is heating in the courtyard.

As the weather got colder and colder, Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't bear the cold anymore, so he could only burn coal in the house to keep warm.

In the early morning of December 12st, it began to snow in Yanjing.

Snow flakes like goose feathers and the white coat quietly wrap the entire Yanjing.

early morning.

Standing in the house, Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the four trees in the yard through the glass window of the main house, only the bare branches were left, covered by ice and snow.

At this time, Taohong walked up to Jiang Xiaofeng and asked Jiang Xiaofeng to hug her from behind. Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng looking out the window, she asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

Jiang Xiaofeng embraced Taohong with both hands, and replied with a smile: "I'm looking at those trees."

Taohong asked puzzledly: "The leaves of these four trees are all gone, what else is there to see?"

Jiang Xiaofeng sighed pretending to be sad: "Oh, what a pity..."

"What a pity?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said solemnly: "At first, I wanted to be with you, but unfortunately I never had a chance. Now the weather is so cold and snowing, so I can only wait for the beginning of spring next year."

After a few words of joking, Jiang Xiaofeng asked Tao Hong: "It's so cold today, do you want to exercise, move your muscles and bones? Maybe it will be warmer this way."

Although Jiang Xiaofeng didn't say it clearly, Taohong already knew what Jiang Xiaofeng was thinking, pouted, and said coyly, "No, it's snowing outside, and you're not afraid of freezing me."

Jiang Xiaofeng hurriedly persuaded: "No, I will soon."

"Liar, I don't believe you anymore, every time I say it quickly, but every time..."
