1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 55 The clown incident, unexpectedly became popular!
At this time, Xiangjiang had not yet returned, and going abroad was more difficult than going abroad. In order to reduce trouble, everyone actually applied for a seven-day tourist visa.

After the plane flew to Shenzhen, all the participants in the performance came out from the airport, with their backs to the camera, carrying musical instruments, equipment, and luggage, and a group of people walked on the streets of Shenzhen. In this street scene, except for a few people with long hair and braids who look a bit eye-catching, the perception of the rest of the people is no different from that of ordinary passers-by.

And this scene was also captured by the casual photographer Gao Yuan with a camera.

However, when it was time to leave the customs, Zhang Peiren, the head of Moyan Culture, the show planner in Hong Kong, suddenly received a call.

"Landy, something is wrong, what's going on, all 37 people got fake IDs!"

On Jiang Xiaofeng's certificate, the column of hometown reads: He Nan.

But in fact, Jiang Xiaofeng just went to Shaolin to learn art, not from Henan, but from Guangfu.

Jiang Xiaofeng seriously suspected that this certificate was obtained in Henan.

Zhang Chu used a farmer from Gansu, but he was actually from Hunan. He went to Xi’an with his parents when he was eight years old. I don’t know if his real name Zhang Hongbing was written on it.

When everyone arrived in Xiangjiang, Zhang Peiren remembered that he went to the tourist group to ask the person who issued the certificate why it was a fake one.

Zhang Peiren was just about to swear, but the other party came up with a soulful triple attack: "Has the Ministry of Culture approved your matter? Has the Yanjing Cultural Bureau approved it? Does Xinhua News Agency know? None, where did you get the real certificate!"

Fortunately, although each of them took false certificates, none of them were caught.

When they arrived in Xiangjiang, they clustered and walked on the street, feeling the unique atmosphere of capitalism, and rushed to the pier with a large bag of various beers, blowing the sea breeze, basking in the sun, and drank everything.

Back at the hotel in the evening, Zhang Peiren distributed a booklet to each of them, planning what everyone would do and what time to do in the next few days.

For example: from 14:16 to 19:[-] on the [-]th, Zhang Chuquan was rehearsing, Jiang Xiaofeng was going to be on Commercial Radio [-] to promote his album, Dou Wei was going to be interviewed by Ming Pao, and He Yong was going to be interviewed by Asia Weekly and Tiantian Daily respectively.

The Tang Dynasty band is free to control the time, but from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the evening, they have to go back to the room to be interviewed by Asia Weekly.

As for the members of the Overload band, including Li Yanliang, they all came to help with the accompaniment, and they are not well-known yet.

This booklet not only contains the schedule and work arrangements, but also a map indicating the location of the hotel where I live, the location of the performance venue Hung Hom and Xiangjiang King Stone Records.

In case everyone gets lost, this map even marks the name of the subway station Tsim Sha Tsui at the entrance of the hotel and the exit location of Cameron Road, which is extremely appropriate and thoughtful.

At the same time, commercial radio stations released videos of their pre-recorded interviews.

Before coming to Xiangjiang, they recorded an interview video, and one of the questions was: "What do you think of the four heavenly kings of Hong Kong, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, and Liming?"

Jiang Xiaofeng and Dou Wei both expressed: no comment.

Zhang Chu said: "Who are the four heavenly kings? Are they the heavenly king Tota Li?"

Ding Wu said: "They are four big jokes."

He Yong made a (fang) speech (pao) at the end: "Hong Kong only has the entertainment industry, but no music! Among the four heavenly kings, except for Jacky Cheung, he is a singer, and everyone else is a clown! If you are not convinced, you can come out and try!"

This sentence was actually designed by Zhang Peiren, mainly for the purpose of attracting attention, and it can also be understood as intentionally touching porcelain.

You know, at this time, the four great kings were so popular. In the previous November, Guo Fucheng had just held a solo concert in Hung Hom, and held 11 concerts in a row.

But He Yong said so, not for hype, or sensationalism, but the anger that has been accumulated in his heart for a long time. He really can't figure out why the influence of rock full of spiritual power in China will never be better than that of pop music. The decadent sound and moaning without illness.

However, when He Yong said this, the entire Xiangjiang media was alarmed. Who are these boys, and why are they so crazy?
The Hong Kong media was stunned, then excited.

The pissing nature of the media is that they are never afraid of big things, but afraid of nothing happening.

This is the "Four Heroes of the Magic Rock", and they will hold a rock concert at the Hong Kong Hung Hom Stadium soon.

The interview was made into a videotape and broadcast at a press conference in Xiangjiang.

He Yong's "clown remarks" were like dropping a blockbuster in Xiangjiang, and the local entertainment circle immediately exploded. Various media responded strongly to He Yong's remarks.

"He Yong speaks loudly, who is he? Liu Meijun wants to see it" (Dongfang Daily)
"He Yong: The Three Heavenly Kings Are Clowns" (Express)
"The Three Heavenly Kings Are Criticized to Look Like Clowns, Anita Mui Says His Speech Is Exaggerated" (Express)
"Wu Qianlian Says Mainland Singer He Yong Should Not Criticize the Four Heavenly Kings" (TV Daily)

"Being treated as a clown by He Yong, Liming feels insulted" (Cheng Bao)
"Andy Lau pointed out that metaphors should not be used" (Daily Daily)

"The Three Heavenly Kings Are Accused of Being Clowns, Xue You Feels The Criticism Is Too Radical"

"He Yong speaks to the point, Wang Fei admits that he is also a clown" (Daily Daily)
.........

Sure enough, after the report leaked out the next day, the reaction was violent, and the concert poster of the Four Heroes of Moyan was torn up by the fans of Tianwang.

Who is He Yong? What are the "Four Heroes of Magic Rock"?It has become a huge question mark hanging in the hearts of many Xiangjiang people.

But soon, the powerful Xiangjiang media found out the details of Dou Wei, Jiang Xiaofeng, Zhang Chu, and He Yong.

The next day, at night.

He Yong, who created the "clown scandal", was interviewed by Next Magazine. The reporter asked He Yong why he made such remarks?
He Yong said: "Xiangjiang's economic development occupies an important position in the world, so even the music must stand on the same position, but in fact it is just the opposite."

A reporter asked, "Will it hurt the singer to say that the three heavenly kings are clowns?"

He Yong asked back: "Are they so fragile? Do you want me to comfort them?
The reporter asked: "Are you worried that this sentence will cause dissatisfaction among the fans of the three heavenly kings?"

He Yong replied: "The quality of Hong Kong fans is not high. Singers should urge fans to improve their music knowledge, but I only know how to make music."

However, compared with the previous interview tapes, He Yong's interview with the media this time is obviously much more obedient: "In a place as prosperous as Xiangjiang, where entertainment is so developed, there should be such things as the Four Heavenly Kings."

On the other side, accompanied by Zhang Peiren, Jiang Xiaofeng also participated in the radio program of Commercial Radio [-] to promote the album "Jiang Xiaofeng".

Before that, the host of the radio station didn't know Jiang Xiaofeng at all. He just obeyed the leader's order and played Jiang Xiaofeng's songs step by step.
But because of He Yong's "clown scandal" in the past two days, it made him know who the "Magic Rock Four Heroes" are and who Jiang Xiaofeng is. He also listened to some "Magic Rock Four Heroes" songs .

The host asked: "After listening to your works, I feel that you have different styles and have no similarities. Why are you called the Four Heroes of Moyan?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said frankly: "It is because our styles are different that Moyan will cooperate with us. If everyone's music and style are the same, is there still a need for a piece?"

The host asked: "What do you think of the four heavenly kings of Xiangjiang? Can you briefly talk about it?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said truthfully: "I think the four heavenly kings are a bit similar to our magic rock four heroes. They are all different individuals and different styles. For example, Jacky Cheung is good at singing, Aaron Kwok is good at dancing, and Andy Lau is more..."

The host asked: "This record of yours, which song is your personal favorite?"

Jiang Xiaofeng thought for a while and said, "Actually, I like every song."

The host asked: "Which song in the new album do you think best represents your mood at the moment?"

Jiang Xiaofeng replied with a smile: ""Chasing Dreams", although this is not my favorite rock song, it definitely represents my mood at the moment."

……

It is worth mentioning that Jiang Xiaofeng's interview on the radio station changed the impression of some listeners on the "Four Heroes of Moyan". They originally thought that the four heroes of Moyan were all cynical youths.

As a result, Jiang Xiaofeng's elegant and objective conversation surprised them. It was very different from the Yanjing rocker they imagined.

And Jiang Xiaofeng's "Jiang Xiaofeng" album, because of the promotion of Xiangjiang Commercial Radio Station [-], sales also began to increase, and the song also began to spread.

At the beginning, Jiang Xiaofeng thought that the title song "Blue Lotus" had a chance to become popular in Xiangjiang, but in fact, the song "I Believe" was the song "I Believe" that Xiangjiang fans liked the most.

Almost overnight, without any precautions, the song "I Believe" by Jiang Xiaofeng spread in the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang.
