Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 124: New Songs at the Concert
Li Chunbo appeared on stage one hour and twenty minutes into the concert.

As soon as he came on stage, he performed his "Xiao Fang" for the audience.

Needless to say, this song is very popular.

It is suitable for almost all ages, well, at least that's the case in this era.

There are many stars who became famous overnight in later generations.

But if we talk about who is the veteran, Li Chunbo is definitely it.

The song "Xiao Fang" made him known to people all over the country.

To be honest, the popularity of "Xiao Fang" is actually rare in the entire Chinese music scene.

This is truly a song that makes the gods famous.

Also because of the popularity.

After Li Chunbo came on stage, the originally explosive and heated atmosphere cooled down a bit, but the fans still maintained their enthusiasm.

Many fans also sang along with Li Chunbo.

After singing the song "Xiao Fang", Li Chunbo did not leave the stage, but sang the song "A Letter Home" which he released this year.

In fact, most of Li Chunbo’s later fans may only know his song "Xiao Fang".

But in fact, this poem "A Letter Home" is also very good.

To a certain extent, my peers in the music industry identify more with "A Letter Home" than "Xiao Fang".

Li Chunbo is a folk singer.

"Xiao Fang" is a folk song.

At this time, folk songs in the mainland developed very slowly.

Li Chunbo is basically the first wave of singers who play folk songs.

Also the most popular one.

"A Letter Home" actually has a very high status in the eyes of many future folk singers.

The combination of "Xiao Fang" and "A Letter Home" made Li Chunbo the godfather of folk songs in mainland China.

This is not a joke, but Baidu says that you can find it.

It was the popularity of Li Chunbo's "Xiao Fang" and "A Letter Home" that influenced a group of folk singers who followed.

As for Xu Wei, although he had gained a certain fame in the rock and folk music circles at that time, he was not well known to the general public.

He will not sign with Red Star Publishing until this year.

After signing the contract, he did not step onto the stage immediately, but worked as a creative staff behind the scenes.

It was not until the next year when he composed "Persistence" for Tian Zhen and won almost all the championships on the mainland charts with this song that he became truly well-known.

Therefore, when Li Chunbo performed "A Letter Home" live, the audience was very receptive.

just.

how to say!

Li Chunbo's typhoon is terrible.

At least that's what Zhou Ziheng thought.

After going on stage with the microphone, he just stood there blankly and waved to the fans at most.

This is a common problem among mainland singers at present.

Most singers in mainland China were like this at that time. They didn't want to move their feet after going on stage.

At a concert, what fans seek is the atmosphere.

An interaction with the singer.

As a singer, you stand on the stage but don't interact with the singers. You just stand there stupidly.

One or two songs is okay.

After a long time, the audience will naturally feel bored.

Therefore, when Li Chunbo sang the third song "Hu'er Hey Yo", the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became cold as if cold water was poured on it.

Obviously, "Hu'er Hey Yo" is a passionate rock song, but Li Chunbo showed no passion at all and there was no atmosphere at all.

In fact, the song "Hu'er Hey Yo" is quite good. As a rock song, it is a very good song.

Its popularity is second only to Li Chunbo's tape "A Letter Home".

Later, this song was used as an interlude in the classic TV series "Little Daddy".

Unfortunately, Li Chunbo's performance was a bit stiff, causing the scene to suddenly become cold.

At this time, Zhou Ziheng finally had a good rest backstage and started to go on stage.

After coming on stage, he first sang a song "The Child Left Home" with Li Chunbo.

When this song was originally recorded, Li Chunbo was invited to sing with it.

Therefore, it is legitimate for the two of them to sing together at the concert at this time.

After singing "The Child Who Left Home", Zhou Ziheng took Li Chunbo and said to the audience:
“Many people know that I used to be a resident singer at the Friendship Salon next to the train station.

At that time, when I first arrived at the Friendship Salon, I didn’t know anyone and Brother Chunbo helped me a lot.

In fact, my first tape "Wandering Song" was able to be successfully released because he introduced me to Mr. Chen Xiaoqi from the planning department of China Records. Then, Mr. Chen Xiaoqi recommended me to Pacific Records, which led to the release of the tape "Wandering Song" that everyone has heard.

That’s why I am who I am now.”

It was the first time for the fans in the audience to know about this.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Li Chunbo.

It was visible to the naked eye that the eyes of Zhou Ziheng's fans at the scene looking at Li Chunbo became softer.

On the stage, Li Chunbo heard this, smiled and patted Zhou Ziheng on the shoulder.

He smiled and said, “Even without me, you can still release an album.

I don’t think any record company would let go of a talent like you.”

Li Chunbo understood what Zhou Ziheng meant.

Zhou Ziheng was trying to help him gain popularity.

Let his fans also fall in love with him.

Although to some extent, he is very popular.

But when it comes to real fans, he is obviously far behind Zhou Ziheng.

Therefore, he was also very moved.

Li Chunbo completed his task, and sang another song "Wine on September 9th" with Zhou Ziheng on the stage before slowly leaving the stage.

After Li Chunbo left the stage, Zhou Ziheng stood on the stage and pondered for a moment before speaking:
“In fact, I personally like Chunbo Ge’s “Xiao Fang” very much and have always wanted to sing this song at a concert.

But I also feel that Chunbo's "Xiao Fang" is not suitable for me to sing, because his version is so good, I am afraid that if I sing worse than him, everyone will laugh at me. "

"Ha ha……"

The audience burst into laughter when they heard this.

"I discussed it with Chunbo, and he authorized me to make some changes to "Xiao Fang" myself."

Zhou Ziheng continued, "I thought hard all night and finally found a version that suits me.

I'll sing it for you all today, please give your comments.

I would like to give you a song called "Xiao Fang" by Zhou Ziheng."

After speaking, Zhou Ziheng gestured to the live band.

The band immediately understood and began to play the song they had practiced before.

"Thank you for giving me the love"

"I will never forget it in this life"

"Thank you for the tenderness you gave me"

"Stay with me through that era"

Unlike Li Chunbo's version, Zhou Ziheng's version starts with the climax.

However, Zhou Ziheng sang in a more trendy style, which was obviously different from Li Chunbo's version.

More importantly, Zhou Ziheng also added English and rap to it.

This makes his version very different from Li Chunbo's version.

Zhou Ziheng did not sing solo on the stage. Instead, he walked directly to the piano and started rapping while playing the piano:
"I remember my classmates swung on the swing with me."

"When it rains, we hide under the eaves together"

"The bookmark you gave me is no longer with me"

“But I still miss you.”

"The next article will talk about my first love" It is obvious that Zhou Ziheng's version is definitely not as popular as Li Chunbo's.

But on the contrary, this version is more popular among young people.

Because it’s tide!

Just like in later generations, many idols’ songs are not popular but are still very popular among certain fans.

The reason is that it is sung by an idol and the song is very trendy.

Zhou Ziheng's version of "Xiao Fang" is like this, very trendy.

After all, there was almost no rap in the mainland during this era.

Zhou Ziheng suddenly sang a rap song.

This immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The fans in the audience became excited.

Count it all, plus this one.

In today's concert, Zhou Ziheng sang two new songs in total.

They all have their own style, and at first glance they are the kind that lead the trend.

Everyone suddenly became excited, there was thunderous applause, and the fans were cheering.

The version sung by Zhou Ziheng is "Xiao Fang" adapted by Khalil Fong in later generations.

He modified some of the lyrics based on reality, and it became the song we have today.

It’s true that although singing rap in the 1990s would definitely not be accepted by the general public, it was definitely a surprise for some niche fans.

The same is true for music critics.

There was such a person in the audience at this moment.

Chen Yaochuan, a former member of Feidie, is now a member of Andy Lau's team.

From the late 1980s to the early 1990s, Feidie was extremely popular and had a large number of creative talents.

Chen Yaochuan was among them.

The creative team of Feidie consists of seven Chens and two Lis, or three Chens and two Lis.

If we talk about the Seven Chens, Chen Yaochuan is one of them.

However, compared with Chen Xiunan, Chen Zhiyuan and Chen Dali, his influence is much less.

At the beginning of the year, Feidie was officially acquired by Warner, and the former Feidie players left for other companies one by one.

Chen Yaochuan and Li Anxiu were not the most famous among the many creative staff of Feidie, so they were not poached by other large companies.

Andy Lau was in a bad condition at this time.

In 91 and 92, he was the first to discover the potential of the Mandarin market. He immediately focused his energy on the Mandarin market and released several Mandarin albums.

And his vision was indeed good. After the release of several carefully crafted Mandarin albums, they immediately became hot sellers.

This made him very popular for a while and he was even more famous in the music industry than Jacky Cheung.

However, as he achieved great success in the Mandarin market.

Jacky Cheung finally couldn't sit still anymore.

In 1993, he released two albums, "Goodbye Kiss" and "Blessings".

Both albums sold very well, and not just ordinary well-selling, their sales volume ranked among the best in Asia.

In addition, Zhou Ziheng suddenly emerged and dominated the Mandarin market.

This caused Andy Lau's originally most influential Mandarin market share to be shattered by Zhou Ziheng and Jacky Cheung.

It seems that he is about to be squeezed out of the most popular singer in the Mandarin market.

How could Andy Lau sit still in this situation?

Therefore, after Feidie was disbanded, he immediately targeted Feidie and planned to poach the creators of Feidie.

As a junior, Chen has no chance.

Those three are all well-known figures in the Chinese music scene, and are being watched by a large number of large companies.

In the end, he had no choice but to choose a few other Chens.

Finally, Chen Yaochuan was persuaded by him and took his good friend Li Anxiu on a plane to Hong Kong to join Andy Lau and became a member of Andy Lau's team.

Recently, Andy Lau's new album "Forget Love Water" has been completed.

Chen Yaochuan had nothing to do, so he went north to the inland area to collect some folk customs.

As soon as he arrived in Guangzhou, he heard that Zhou Ziheng was holding a concert.

Chen Yaochuan is very curious about Zhou Ziheng, a singer and songwriter who has been very popular in the past two years.

So, with the idea of ​​observing and learning, he bought a ticket to Zhou Ziheng's concert.

And watched most of the concert.

Chen Yaochuan had to admit that Zhou Ziheng was truly amazing, as he had become the brightest new star in the Chinese music scene in just two years.

how to say!

From Chen Yaochuan's point of view.

This is not an ordinary concert at all.

This is totally a golden song concert!
Throughout the whole show, almost every song sung by Zhou Ziheng could be used as a hit song by other singers.

But for Zhou Ziheng, it's as simple as eating and drinking.

What made Chen Yaochuan feel that the trip was worthwhile was that he heard a semi-new song by Zhou Ziheng.

"Laughing at the Wind and Clouds", although it is a Cantonese song, there is no doubt that even Chen Yaochuan himself has to admit that this is a very classic song that ordinary people cannot create.

The following song is an adaptation of "Xiao Fang".

Compared with Li Chunbo's version, he feels that he likes this version better.

The main thing is that Zhou Ziheng's version was innovative.

The combination of English, rap and pop singing is very rare in the current Chinese music scene.

Perhaps for fans, his version is a little ahead of its time and a little out of place.

But in Chen Yaochuan's eyes, this is a real singer, a true creative genius singer.

Staying the same is just following the crowd.

Only by innovating and daring to explore can a great creator do this.

And in his opinion, Zhou Ziheng did it.

He is innovating, even if the song might not be liked by the public.

But his intention was good because he provided an idea for other creators.

Only in this way can the Chinese music scene continue to move forward instead of standing still.

"Can you introduce Zhou Ziheng to me? I want to meet him."

The fans in the audience were very enthusiastic, and many of them stood up and waved their glow sticks along with Zhou Ziheng's dry voice.

Chen Yaochuan asked loudly to his friend next to him.

His friend is also from the same circle, his name is Tu Huiyuan.

He also has another identity, he is the husband of Huang Qishan, the former resident singer of Butong 100.

“Although I come to Guangzhou frequently, I don’t actually know him.

But Chen Kai, the boss of Butong, should know him. We can ask Chen Kai to introduce him to us tomorrow."

Tu Huiyuan thought for a moment and replied.

After a pause, he asked again: "What do you want to see him for?"

"Nothing, I just want to get to know him. I really admire his creative ability."

Chen Yaochuan turned around and said.

"This guy is really amazing. You are not the first one who wants to meet him. Last time at a party, Luo Dayou also privately said that he wanted to meet him.

Didn’t he come to Taiwan to promote his record last year? That time, when many colleagues heard that he was at Tong Ange’s house, they came to visit him.

As a result, when these colleagues arrived, they found that the person had already left. "

Tu Huiyuan sneered.

"By the way, I heard that Zhou Ziheng's record company is recruiting songwriters. Would you like to consider it?" Tu Huiyuan asked.

"Forget it, I'm better off working with Andy Lau.

Moreover, singers like Zhou Ziheng can create their own songs and generally won’t accept other people’s songs unless the songs are very good.”
