1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 79 With a net worth of tens of millions, he ranks among the top ten earning artists in Hong Kong and Taiwan!
March 1, 18 p.m.

The 1995 Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony was grandly held at the Xiangjiang Stadium.

At the awards ceremony, TVB staff also arranged the four heavenly kings to sit together. Jiang Xiaofeng and Zhou Huajian, two foreign singers, sat on the left and right of the four of them respectively.

On Jiang Xiaofeng's right is Andy Lau, and on the left is Chen Huilin, because he and the two of them know each other, and they can chat with each other occasionally, so it's not too boring.

Because of the experience of the previous award ceremonies, Jiang Xiaofeng knew that in this seniority-based Xiangjiang music scene, he was only a rookie who debuted for less than a year, and he would definitely not be able to win the top awards, such as the most popular male singer, the golden song of the year, etc. Yes, because I didn't have expectations, I was much more relaxed than before.

Compared with Jiang Xiaofeng, the four heavenly kings are not so relaxed. They are fighting openly and secretly, and they are at odds with each other. No one wants to lose.

Liu Dehua had nothing to say to Li Ming who was next to him, so he moved to Jiang Xiaofeng's side, pretending to be very familiar, and said without words: "Feng Zi, how are the concert preparations going?"

Jiang Xiaofeng replied with a smile: "Already preparing, after all, this is the first time such a large-scale solo concert, so it's impossible not to prepare."

Andy Lau comforted with a smile: "Don't be too nervous, I believe you're ok!"

Jiang Xiaofeng nodded: "Well, Brother Hua, I know, I will try my best."

After a moment of silence, the exciting moment came. The award presenters on the stage were about to present the first Golden Melody Award.

Every singer at the scene had different expressions on their faces, some were nervous, some were expecting, and some were pretending to be calm.

On the contrary, it was their fans who, without any cover-up, were shouting the names of their idols with all their might.

"Andy Lau!"

"Leon!"

"Chengcheng!"

"Maple!"

"..."

However, compared with the four idol singers Jiang Xiaofeng, Andy Lau, Guo Fucheng, and Li Ming, fans of Zhang Xueyou and Zhou Huajian, two actual singers, are obviously more reserved, and they hardly call them by their names.

Accompanied by the shouts of fans from all walks of life, the guests on the stage announced the first Golden Melody Award for tonight: "The first Golden Melody Award of the Top Ten Golden Songs of 1995—Written by Jiang Xiaofeng, composed by Jiang Xiaofeng, lead singer Jiang Xiaofeng—— "Next Year Today".

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Xiaofeng's fans at the scene burst into deafening screams and shouts, and some excited fans even cried with joy on the spot, hugging together and crying bitterly.

After hugging Andy Lau and Chen Huilin who were next to him, Jiang Xiaofeng stepped onto the podium under the eyes of the crowd and the screams of fans.

After receiving the trophy from the guests, Jiang Xiaofeng paused, and calmly delivered an acceptance speech similar to the one he received every time before.

When Jiang Xiaofeng specially thanked the fans and friends at the scene and in front of the TV, the fans at the scene were almost crazy with excitement, and there was another scream of "ah".

Back in the audience, several singers including Andy Lau and Chen Huilin all smiled and said "Congratulations" to Jiang Xiaofeng.

As the saying goes, people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Jiang Xiaofeng, who recently won an award and got soft hands, also has a proud face, so chic.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xiaofeng won the Gold Award for the Most Popular New Artist of the Top Ten Golden Songs, the Gold Award for the Most Popular Singer, and the Gold Award for the Most Popular Mandarin Song.

However, what puzzled Jiang Xiaofeng was that Li Ming and Peng Ling won the most popular male and female singer award in 1995.

Peng Ling, a female singer, may not be familiar to many people, but her Cantonese album "Awakening Like a Dream" is still selling very well. Of course, if Wang Fei hadn't withdrawn from the awards ceremony, then this most popular Welcome to the Female Singer Award, but it's not her turn yet.

It was Li Ming who really upset Jiang Xiaofeng. From Jiang Xiaofeng's point of view, other years are not clear, but according to the record sales and song popularity in 1995, the most popular male singer award for the top ten golden songs in 1995 is not at all. It should be picked up by Li Ming.

Because in 1995, he and Andy Lau's Cantonese record sales were very low, and they didn't even make it into the top ten. On the contrary, Guo Fucheng's "Legend of Innocence" stood out.

And Jiang Xiaofeng's "Listening to the Maple", Zhang Xueyou's "Allergy World", and Zhou Huajian's "Xiantu You" are all top ten sales.

Just as Jiang Xiaofeng was still at odds with Zhang Xue for himself, Leslie Cheung, the award presenter on the stage, suddenly announced: "1995 Top Ten Golden Songs Golden Melody Gold Award - Lyricist Jiang Xiaofeng, lyricist Jiang Xiaofeng, lead singer Jiang Xiaofeng, song title "Next Year Today" "! Congratulations, Fengzi!"

Hearing this result, Jiang Xiaofeng felt stunned. After participating in so many awards ceremonies, he had long since given up hope for the Golden Melody Award. Just now, he was complaining about TVB's disregard for martial arts, and awarded the most popular male singer award to Li name.

As a result, the next moment, the Top Ten Golden Songs Awards Ceremony directly presented Jiang Xiaofeng with the highest honor award - the Golden Melody Award.

What shocked Jiang Xiaofeng the most was that this highest honor award was awarded to him by his idol Leslie Cheung himself, how could he not feel dreamy.

"Fengzi, hurry up to the stage to accept the award!"

"Feng Zi called you, you won the Golden Melody Award!"

"..."

But soon, Jiang Xiaofeng came back to his senses, and then stepped onto the stage amidst the most sensational applause and cheers from the audience.

Seeing Leslie Cheung personally presenting the award to him in front of him, although he is not tall, his gestures are full of superstar demeanor, Jiang Xiaofeng was very excited, feeling like he was dreaming.

Jiang Xiaofeng adjusted his mood, and first expressed his gratitude to Leslie Cheung at the side: "Thank you, brother!"

Because Jiang Xiaofeng was taller, Leslie Cheung was also very careful, reaching out to adjust the height of the microphone for him.

Jiang Xiaofeng nodded in gratitude, and then said gratefully: "I'm really happy, I can get this Golden Melody Award from my idol. I don't know what to say, but I'm very touched..."

Leslie Cheung also leaned in front of the microphone and said a word of encouragement: "Keep working hard, I'm very fond of you!"

Leslie Cheung's words not only excited Jiang Xiaofeng, but even the fans at the scene were overwhelmed with excitement.

Because TVB has a time limit, Jiang Xiaofeng briefly thanked Leslie Cheung, Chen Jiaying, Liang Rongjun, Zhou Huimin and a group of people, and finally thanked the fans at the scene.

Jiang Xiaofeng's fans were even more excited than Jiang Xiaofeng. Many fans at the scene were sobbing, they were all in a ball, and they were all happy for their idol.

In the end, Jiang Xiaofeng stood in the center of the stage, holding a microphone in one hand and a gold award trophy in the other, and sang his 1995 Top Ten Golden Song Golden Melody Gold Award-"Next Year Today".

"If this chandelier pours down
or me, no longer exist
even if you don't love

no need to separate
If at this moment I am seriously demented

don't need to be loved at all

......"

The Golden Melody Award is worthy of the Golden Melody Award. From the moment Jiang Xiaofeng sang the first line of the lyrics, the audience sang in chorus. Many fans who were not Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't help but hum along.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng is still a rookie, Jiang Xiaofeng won this year's Golden Melody Gold Award with the song "Next Year Today".

"Don't suffer from insomnia next year
Mattresses are changed, if lucky enough to meet
or at the feast of the newlyweds of the companions

anxiously waiting for you to appear
Today next year, I haven't seen you for a year

Who is willing to change and leave you for 60 years
......"

Looking at all the singers and fans who clapped their hands and sang the song "Today Next Year" with him, Jiang Xiaofeng sang affectionately, but also had mixed feelings in his heart, feeling that he was the most dazzling superstar on this stage.

This night should be the happiest and most exciting day for Jiang Xiaofeng since his debut in Xiangjiang for a year.

Two days later, Jiang Xiaofeng had just finished attending the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, and Jiang Xiaofeng hadn't recovered from the joy of winning, and then received the award notification on the Taiwan Golden Melody List.

In other words, the Taiwan Golden Melody Dragon and Tiger List was launched in 1989, and the annual overall ranking began in 1991.

Due to the calculation method of the golden song dragon and tiger charts, sales and postcard votes account for half of the proportion, which can be regarded as the best indicator of sales and popularity in the 90s.

Looking at the whole list, in the early 90s, Xiangjiang artists made outstanding achievements. Zhang Xueyou, Andy Lau, Wang Fei, Lin Yilian, Guo Fucheng, and Zheng Xiuwen were all at the top.

In terms of male singers, Andy Lau has the best performance overall. Hong Kong stars Zhang Xueyou and Du Dewei all have good rankings; in Taiwan, Zhou Huajian, Chang Xinzhe, Zhang Yu, and Wu Qixian maintained the popularity and sales of local male singers in the 90s.

And in the past 1995, Jiang Xiaofeng also successfully broke into the top ten of Taiwan's golden song dragon and tiger list with the album "Golden Age", ranking third.

With "True Forever" and "True Love" by Zhang Xueyou, Andy Lau ranked first and second on the Golden Melody Chart respectively.

Faye Wong ranked fourth with "Sky", overpowering female singers such as Lin Yilian and Xin Xiaoqi, and became the well-deserved No.1 female singer.

All in all, throughout January, Jiang Xiaofeng was either receiving the award or on his way to receive the award.

Especially the Newcomer Award at the major award ceremonies, Jiang Xiaofeng almost monopolized this award, as long as he nominated, whether he went or not, it was all in his pocket.

There's no way around that, Jiang Xiaofeng in 1995 was too dazzling, even if he wasn't the hottest male singer on both sides of the strait, he was one of the hottest.

Apart from awards, Jiang Xiaofeng's biggest gain in 1995 was money.

On January 1, Hong Kong and Taiwan media jointly released a "18 Hong Kong and Taiwan artist income list":
No.1: Zhang Xue has 1.1 million

No.2: Zhou Xingchi 8500 million

No.3: Chenglong 7500 million

No.4: Andy Lau 5500 million

No.5: Li Ming 3800 million

No.6: Jet Li 3500 million

No.7: Wang Fei 3100 million

No.8: Jiang Xiaofeng 2800 million

No.9: Anita Mui 2200 million

No.10: Leslie Cheung 1900 million

Although Guo Fucheng, one of the four heavenly kings, did not rank in the top ten, he still earned 1360 million yuan, ranking No.12. Zhou Huajian, who is known as the killer of heavenly kings, ranked 11th, with an income of 1995 million yuan in 1580. Yuan.

The reason why Zhang Xueyou's income can exceed 1995 million is mainly because he has held world tour concerts since the beginning of 200, with a total audience of [-] million person-times, creating a record for the number of concerts held by Asian singers. Recognized by Guinness World Records;

In addition, he held a concert at Madison Square Garden in New York, becoming the first Asian singer to hold a concert at Madison Square Garden.

From the names on this list, we can see how terrifying the Hong Kong stars in the 90s were on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. No matter if they were singers from Taiwan or mainland China, they were incomparable.

Not to mention other things, let’s just say that Mao Amin, the eldest sister in the mainland music scene, has been the income ceiling of mainland female singers in recent years. After a year of crazy travel, the annual income is only about 200 million.

根据税物机关的调查证实：毛阿敏自1994年1月-1996年1月期间，在我国13个省演出的109场中，总共获取收入471.11万元，平均每场4万多。

In 1995, Jiang Xiaofeng earned more than 2000 million yuan just by relying on the Mandarin album "Golden Age" and the Cantonese album "Listening to Maple".

All in all, in the past 1995, Jiang Xiaofeng definitely achieved both fame and fortune, and successfully established himself as the king of Chinese music.

However, Jiang Xiaofeng did not intend to use the money he transferred to invest or buy property in Xiangjiang, because his heart was always on the mainland, especially the capital Yanjing.

Like Jiang Xiaofeng, there is Wang Fei who grew up in Yanjing. Although she lives in Hong Kong and Taiwan, she has never forgotten Yanjing. It is not only her hometown, but also her beloved sweetheart.

Of course, Wang Fei already looked down on Xiangjiang's shrinking record market, so in the past two years, she basically didn't participate in the major award ceremonies of Xiangjiang music scene.

On the other hand, because of the influence of Jiang Xiaofeng, Wang Fei decided to make an independent creative album like Jiang Xiaofeng did. The original tone of the album was "an original Mandarin album facing the world". With Faye Wong's independent and comfortable state, as The leading concept of the album, and most of the lyrics and music creation of the album are all written by Wang Fei.

The lineup of the album's production staff has been streamlined again and again. In the end, Zhang Yadong served as the supervisor of the entire album. The creative team formed by Dou Wei, Zhang Yadong, Wang Fei and Cocteau Twins took care of the accompaniment, arrangement and post-production of the album.

However, although Wang Fei had already returned to Yanjing some time ago to start recording this new album named "Impotence", she had already promised Jiang Xiaofeng that she would return to Xiangjiang to be the mysterious guest of his Hung Hom concert.

ps. There is something I must tell you. This book is not a single heroine. I think it is unrealistic for China Entertainment to have a single heroine. There should be two or three heroines, but the protagonist of this book is not a bulldozer either. It's best if you can accept it, if you can't accept it, I also apologize to you, I am really embarrassed.
