Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 121: Hong Kong Music Awards for Self-Entertainment

Faced with the enthusiasm of fans, Zhou Ziheng couldn't ignore it.

So he hurriedly discussed it with EMi.

Finally, it was decided to add another show.

A total of seven shows were added in the mainland, and other regions such as Hong Kong and Taiwan also added one show each.

As a result, the originally planned seventeen concerts became thirty-two.

As for the time issues in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places, EMi said that it was left to them and they would communicate with the organizers in various places.

We guarantee that after the work in the mainland is completed, we can immediately contact Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places.

……

Just when Zhou Ziheng was concentrating on preparing for the concert.

In March, awards season arrives.

First up are Hong Kong’s Top Ten Chinese Songs and Top Ten Hit Songs.

These two awards symbolize the Hong Kong music scene.

Well, because they symbolize the Hong Kong music scene, they usually just entertain themselves.

Zhou Ziheng did not win the Top Ten Golden Songs for these two awards.

He was selected, but he will not win the award.

This is what EMi told Zhou Ziheng.

As for the reason, it is naturally because he is not from Hong Kong, or more precisely, his records were not produced in Hong Kong.

Therefore, even though his "Fairy Tale" and "Pacific Rim" were very popular, few people in Hong Kong could match them.

But the rules are there, so he can't win the prize.

Of course, he was the most popular singer last year after all.

If one of these two awards is not given, the professionalism will definitely be questioned.

Therefore, these two awards should be compensated to Zhou Ziheng through other awards.

He was nominated for the Best Outstanding Mandarin Song of the Top Ten Chinese Songs, the Most Popular Mandarin Song of the Top Ten Songs, and a Cross-the-River Dragon Award.

The so-called "Dragon Crossing the River" award is actually for singers who are not from Hong Kong but have great momentum, so this award was set up.

This award was originally set up for Jimmy Lin.

In 1992, Jimmy Lin became famous all over the country with "Seventeen Years Old Rainy Season", and the Hong Kong Music Awards specially set up this award for him.

Although he was nominated for several awards, TVB and Radio Hong Kong also invited Zhou Ziheng to attend.

But Zhou Ziheng ignored it.

You all have to play by yourselves, why give me a consolation prize?

Rather than adding to your enthusiasm, I'd rather not come.

Moreover, Zhou Ziheng himself doesn't care too much about these two awards.

Not only him, but singers from Taiwan don't care either.

You said you were just entertaining yourself, so why bother arranging a consolation prize for the sake of fairness?
Zhou Ziheng simply refused to attend.

The Hong Kong Radio seemed to have some complaints about Zhou Ziheng's refusal to attend, and he looked as if he didn't want to accept the award. When the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony began, the host even mocked Zhou Ziheng on the stage.

Zhou Ziheng pretended not to see anything.

He doesn't rely on them for food anyway.

As for TVB, Zhou Ziheng originally thought that they would also be dissatisfied with his absence.

I didn’t expect TVB to have no reaction at all.

Zhou Ziheng almost thought that TVB was very generous.

A few days later, he found out that it was not that TVB was generous, but that they had something to ask of Zhou Ziheng.

It turned out that they wanted to invite Zhou Ziheng to sing a song.

As we all know, Zhou Ziheng is now a rare creative talent in the Chinese music scene.

Even Taiwan's Luo Dayou and Hong Kong's Gu Jiahui praised him highly.

And his two albums have proven that he is indeed very good.

So TVB wanted Zhou Ziheng to write a song for one of their new TV series.

Considering that although TVB is usually high and mighty, it has never targeted Zhou Ziheng.

Although he was not awarded the Jade Top Ten Songs, the Jade Top Ten Songs only awards Cantonese songs.

After some consideration, Zhou Ziheng agreed to help them write songs.

Originally, TVB intended to let Zhou Ziheng compose the music, and then TVB would take it back and find someone to write the lyrics.

But after Zhou Ziheng listened to TVB's summary of the TV series' plot.

A song immediately came to mind and I took it out.

The people from TVB were shocked when they saw the song. "Mr. Zhou, you can write such a good Cantonese song!"

Hearing this, Zhou Ziheng was speechless.

Because there are so many famous songs in his two albums.

This led to his "Second Hand" and "The Edge of Love and Pain" becoming obscurity.

At the same time, many people thought that he could not write Cantonese songs.

"Laughing at the Wind and Cloud".

The song Zhou Ziheng took out was this one.

As for the TVB drama, it is the TV drama originally paired with this song, "Smiling in the Wind and Clouds", starring Adam Cheng and Chrissie Wong.

The person who came from TVB was the director of this TV series, Zeng Jinchang.

A veteran TVB director and producer.

This director must have understood the music. After he looked at the song and hummed along with it, he asked Zhou Ziheng:
"Mr. Zhou, please name your price if you want to sell this song to us!"

"Not for sale!" Zhou Ziheng shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Jinchang's face suddenly froze.

Zhou Ziheng continued, "I prepared this song for myself. If you need it, I can authorize your TV series to use it for free."

Zhou Ziheng remembered that the TV series "Laughing at the Wind and Cloud" seemed to be quite popular.

He had seen it in his previous life.

Well, considering that people from such a long time ago, the post-2000s generation, have watched it, this TV series should be very popular.

Otherwise he wouldn't have been able to see it.

Of course, it may also be because this theme song is too popular.

Anyway, he thought the song was pretty nice, and for a period of time in his previous life he kept playing it on loop.

"Authorize us to use it for free?" Zeng Jinchang asked carefully.

"Yes!" Zhou Ziheng nodded, "Your TV series hasn't started filming yet! I'll send the songs to you after I finish recording them."

"Then it's settled. Thank you Mr. Zhou. Don't worry, TVB will accept this favor.

I will go back and tell Manager Fang to ask her to help you get more records in the future."

Zeng Jinchang said seriously.

Hearing this, Zhou Ziheng just smiled and nodded.

He didn't quite believe that TVB would give him such a big advantage just because of one song.

However, if TVB really did this, he would appreciate it.

As for why "Smiling in the Wind" was given to TVB.

In fact, the main purpose is for publicity.

According to Zeng Jinchang, this TV series will probably be broadcast in November.

According to Zhou Ziheng's estimation, it would be just the right time for him to release an album.

At that time, he can use this TV series to attract attention to his record.

Maybe it can attract a large number of TV fans!
Zeng Jinchang went back with excitement.

Zhou Ziheng continued to practice dancing and rehearse songs.

During this period, he also attended several awards ceremonies in the mainland.

Oriental Horizon Golden Melody Awards Ceremony.

Lingnan Golden Songs Chart.

Top Ten Singers in 1993.

These awards are currently some of the more important awards in the mainland.

But these awards are not like the awards in Hong Kong.

The mainland is his territory.

These awards naturally favor him.

Almost all the important awards of several prizes were given to him.

Of course, after all, the mainland is very large and there are many singers.

Although Zhou Ziheng is outstanding.

But it is impossible to give him all the awards.

The cake must be divided fairly.

We can't just give him all the awards because he is better.

Others, such as Mao Amin, Yang Yuying, Liu Huan and others have also achieved success.
