1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 56: The Four Heroes of the Magic Rock, Making a Rage in Hung Hom!
The popularity of "I Believe" also drove the sales of the record "Jiang Xiaofeng" to a certain extent.

In just five days, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Jiang Xiaofeng" album sold 3200 copies in Xiangjiang.

However, "Jiang Xiaofeng" is only a Mandarin album after all, and it is difficult to achieve wide-scale dissemination in cities where Cantonese is the main language.

Unless Jiang Xiaofeng can create a hit song that breaks through the dialect barrier, otherwise, it will be difficult to become popular in Xiangjiang.

Of course, it is not easy for the Mandarin album "Jiang Xiaofeng" to sell more than 3000 copies in Xiangjiang.

This is also due to the promotion of Xiangjiang Commercial Radio, as well as Zhang Peiren's marketing and He Yong's touching of the "Four Heavenly Kings", which made some Hong Kong people hold a critical attitude and became interested in Jiang Xiaofeng, one of the "Four Heroes of Magic Rock". , and purchased his records.

Faced with He Yong's remarks, people in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle reacted differently. Although Jacky Cheung "survived the disaster", he also came out to defend himself; although the other heavenly kings tried their best to calm down, they still couldn't hide their grievances.

Some people accused He Yong of not having heard their "music" at all, some said that He Yong did not understand the Hong Kong music scene at all, some thought that there were differences between the two cultures in Mainland Hong Kong, some said that Andy Lau acted well in movies, and some said that Aaron Kwok danced better than He Yong stick wait.

But no matter how you defend, it always makes people feel a little far-fetched and guilty, but there is nothing they can do about He Yong. He Yong said that he "just told the truth", which caused all kinds of people in Xiangjiang to fidget and come out to defend.

Obviously, He Yong's words hit a sore spot in the Xiangjiang music scene, and the strong reaction of the Xiangjiang entertainment circle to this matter was also unexpected.

Due to the large number of people, after coming to Xiangjiang, the four magic rock heroes were divided into four groups, rehearsed in different places, and then unified to the Hung Hom Stadium to walk on the stage. After the stage, everyone went to the rooftop to smoke together.

It may be that everyone was holding back their energy and wanted to prove something, so everyone rehearsed very seriously in the rehearsal room in Xiangjiang.

The rehearsal rooms are very small, very small and crowded, because the houses in some places in Xiangjiang may be like this, small and expensive.

When we come to Xiangjiang, the so-called "shopping paradise", people spend more time outside of work for shopping. Those who buy leather jackets buy leather jackets, and those who buy pianos buy pianos.

Jiang Xiaofeng thought that he had finally come to Xiangjiang, and it would be a bit unreasonable if he didn't bring some gifts back to Taohong, so he bought a diamond necklace, lipstick and other cosmetics.

On the evening of December 12, at eight o'clock.

The concert of "Rock Chinese Music Power" officially started at Hong Kong Hung Hom Stadium.

That night, nearly [-] spectators poured into the Hung Hom Stadium, which can be said to be full of seats.

Dou Wei was the first to appear on the stage. The curtain rose. He was wearing a black Chinese tunic suit. His face was expressionless.

"Ambivalence, hypocrisy, greed, deceit
Fantasy, Doubt, Simple, Fickle
So strong, helpless, lonely, fragile

Forbearance, anger, complicated, disgusting

......"

The song "Advanced Animals" he sang has advanced lyrics and high-level singing.

Dou Wei was the first to perform at the Hung Hom Stadium this time, mainly because he valued his popularity in Hong Kong. In addition, his girlfriend Wang Fei at this time was sitting in the first row of the audience, sitting next to Wang Fei. It was her manager, Chen Jiaying.

It is worth mentioning that in 1994 alone, Wang Fei released four albums, each of which became popular. The movie "Chongqing Forest" starring in the show was screened, and all the well-known variety shows in Xiangjiang were shown, and she won ten awards. Most Popular Female Singer Award at the Golden Melody Awards Ceremony.

After Dou Wei sang the four songs, Zhang Chu was the second. He was usually in the middle, because "The Four Heroes of Magic Rock" always started with Dou Wei, second was Zhang Chu, third was He Yong, and last It was Jiang Xiaofeng's finale.

Unlike Dou Wei, Zhang Chu, who played second, dressed casually and sang while sitting.

The first song "Sister" is his famous work.

"It doesn't snow this winter

Standing on the road without blinking
my heartbeat is still soft
You should praise me for being obedient today
my clothes are too big
You say I look pretty ga
I know I'm silly standing in the crowd...

It was this song that made Zhang Peiren cry while listening to it in Yanjing's cold winter, and made up his mind to make a compilation album of Chinese rock music.

That is the later "Hua Guohuo 1", which was put on the first song of the compilation by the song "Sister".

Zhang Chu's second song at the Hung Hom Stadium is "Lonely People Are Shameful".

"It's a season of love
The smell of couples is in the air
Lonely people are shameful
it's a season of love
everyone should smile at each other
Hug, hug, that's fine
i like flowers

There should be flowers in the city
Even if someone takes it off
flowers should grow too
......"

Interestingly, Zhang Chu's singing also broke a record in Hung Hom, because no one stopped during the singing, but Zhang Chu did.

His guitarist is Cao Jun. Cao Jun plays the guitar very well, but in mainland China, you had nowhere to buy such instruments as guitars, amplifiers, and basses. Everyone used them so-so.

This time when he came to Xiangjiang, Tom Lee Music Store was opposite the Hung Hom Stadium. Cao Jun was very excited to buy a new Martin piano. He said that they would use this new piano during the performance.

As a result, after the new strings were put on the new piano, the intonation was not so accurate. He asked all the people to help him play the piano in the background, but after playing, the first note was lost.

After Zhang Chu heard the first note and ran away, the more he sang, the more he sang, and the more he sang, the more he sang, and he couldn't stand it anymore. He said, "Stop, I want to sing this song again."

At this time, Jia Minshu handed over a piano as if flying from under the stage, and it became normal the second time, and sang the song.

Du Kefeng, the photographer of "Chongqing Forest", was also there. He met Deng Acura who was playing the guitar for He Yong in the background, handed him a bottle of spirits, and shouted at Acura: "Rocker, new real
rocker! "

When Deng Acura was on stage, he was wearing the underpants that he bought for a huge sum of 1000 yuan. The staff mistook them for underwear and almost knocked him down. In fact, he felt that he was wearing this, like Axl Rose, the lead singer of Guns N' Roses.

The typhoon between him and He Yong is indeed like gunfire, just one word "crazy".

When He Yong came on stage, the atmosphere was on fire. The sea soul shirt was paired with a red scarf. The first song was "Girl, Beautiful".

He and Deng Acura were too coquettish, and the audience couldn't sit still and stood up. Seeing the enthusiasm of the audience, He Yong also sang more and more, and the more he sang, the more confident he became.

"Sun Wukong threw away the golden cudgel and traveled across the ocean
Monk Sha drives the boat to catch all the fish
Zhu Bajie returned to Gao Laozhuang as a massage girl

Tang Sanzang bit the instant noodles and came to the street

Show people auspiciousness,
girl girl, you are beautiful,

cop cop you got a pistol
......"

His deconstruction of "Journey to the West" was earlier than "Journey to the West".

Deng Acura stood on the stage with long hair and big white legs. He kicked his legs and shook his head. From time to time, he knelt on his knees and looked up to the sky, especially rock style.

Most of this emotion was fanned by He Yong.

When he was still rehearsing in Yanjing, He Yong told Acura every day: "The media and audience in Xiangjiang especially look down on us", and made Acura so angry that he practiced piano at home every day, afraid of embarrassing the band going to Yanjing.

When he arrived in Xiangjiang, until he was in the rehearsal room, He Yong was still muttering over and over again, completely igniting Acura's emotions. He didn't even go to the toilet, and rushed directly onto the stage.

Extremely angry, excited and young, this is Deng Acura on the Hung Hom stage.

He Yong was so excited during the performance that he poured a bottle of mineral water on Deng Acura's head, and Deng Acura also enjoyed it.

The last song He Yong sang was his masterpiece "The Bell and Drum Tower".

While singing the song "The Bell and Drum Tower", He Yong first bowed to his father He Yusheng, and then introduced the musicians to the audience: "Sanxian playing, He Yusheng, my father."

As soon as the camera is swept away, the old man is sitting there in a mandarin jacket, calmly playing the sanxian, and all the propositions and answers about tradition and rebellion, folk music and rock, father and son are here.

He Yong introduced again, "Dou Wei is playing the flute." Dou Wei just smiled slightly, and the audience applauded thunderously.

"My home is just inside the Second Ring Road
People here have so much time
They are talking about who's ups and downs

They're watching what brand of cigarette you pull out

The hardworking people in the small restaurant are fellow villagers from other places

their faces are like mine

Cycling on fallen leaves, watching the sunset disappear
Yinding Bridge, I can no longer see it clearly, I can't see the Xishan Mountain clearly
The lotus in the water, its leaves are broken
......"

Compared with "The Drum Tower" written by Jiang Xiaofeng as a tourist, the "Bell and Drum Tower" created by He Yong, a native of Yanjing, has a stronger and authentic flavor of old Yanjing.

This song uses folk music, and the accompaniment lineup is super luxurious.

Dou Wei plays the flute, and He Yusheng plays the sanxian, the 60-year-old head of the plucked string instrument department of the Huaguo Song and Dance Troupe.

"The Bell and Drum Tower sucks the dust and smoke, let you paint his face

I can't hear your voice, it's too loud and messy now
You've been watching for so long, why don't you speak
Who made the question so difficult, there are all correct answers everywhere

Who made the question so difficult, there are all correct answers everywhere

......"

Although Jiang Xiaofeng thinks that Dou Wei is the most stylish among the four of them and has the best singing skills, he also has to admit that He Yong's typhoon is quite good, and he is especially confident in his rhythm. The enthusiasm of the audience was overwhelmed by him The typhoon burned up.

Jiang Xiaofeng felt that as the finale, he absolutely couldn't lose to him, and he was also preparing to play with suffocation. Frankly speaking, his passion was also ignited by He Yong.

However, Jiang Xiaofeng did not follow He Yong's rhythm and kept restless. Instead, after taking the stage, he started his concert in Hung Hom with a lyrical song "I Have You in My Life".

"Because I dreamed that you left
i woke up crying

Watch the night wind blowing through the windowsill

can you feel my love
wait till the day when i grow old

are you still by my side
look at those oath lies
slowly drifting away with the past

多少 人 曾 爱慕 你 年轻 的 容颜

Know who is willing to bear the ruthless changes of the years

......"

After singing the song "I Have You in My Life", accompanied by applause and cheers from the audience, Jiang Xiaofeng's performance at the Hong Kong Hung Hom Stadium was the real beginning.
