Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 126 The conscienceless Zhou Ziheng

The concert started on time at seven o'clock.

Zhou Ziheng appeared in the spotlight.

This time he did not make a special appearance. He just rose from the lift platform in the center of the stage after the brilliant fireworks.

He was dressed differently tonight.

Her slightly long hair was dyed silver and her face was painted with thick smoky makeup.

Weird and full of dark colors.

This style will be with him for a long time to come.

As soon as he came on stage, he greeted the audience loudly.

"Dear fans, how are you?"

"it is good……"

A deafening response came from the audience.

Along with it were very enthusiastic and excited screams.

Zhou Ziheng's outfit is so advanced.

Or maybe it's cool.

This outfit was the one he wore when taking a dark photo shoot.

At the same time, makeup too.

His photo albums of different styles have sold more than 500,000 copies so far and are very popular.

In particular, the dark style is not only hailed as a new trend in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but is also extremely popular in Japan.

Of the 500,000 units sold, nearly 150,000 were from Japan.

Before his songs became popular in Japan, he had already made it into the country with his photos and had many fans in Japan because of his good looks.

The famous Japanese fashion magazine "mina" also put Zhou Ziheng on the cover.

The title is "The Oriental Man Leading the Oriental Trend".

Because it is so popular, the clothes and makeup in the photo have become the object of imitation for many people who pay attention to fashion in just over a month.

Even Aaron Kwok and Takeshi Kaneshiro, two famous trendsetters in the Chinese-speaking world, have published photo books in this style.

Although the sales volume is obviously not as good as Zhou Ziheng's, it is also very popular.

It is no exaggeration to say that in just two months, Zhou Ziheng created a new trend.

"Zhou Ziheng makeup" is a nickname for dark makeup.

As the founder of the trend, it is obvious how happy those fans who regard his photos as treasures will be when Zhou Ziheng appears with this makeup at this time.

"What do you think of my outfit and makeup today?"

Listening to the shouts and screams of the audience, Zhou Ziheng turned around and asked the audience.

"handsome!"

"Awesome!"

"Zhou Ziheng, you are the most handsome man in the world!"

……

Various compliments came from the audience, making Zhou Ziheng smile even more.

No one doesn't like compliments, and he is no exception.

“Thank you, thank you very much for your support!”

Zhou Ziheng exchanged a few polite words with everyone on the stage before starting tonight's performance.

The first song yesterday was "Fairy Tale", but today it changed to "Sad Pacific".

“Leaving is really cruel.”

"Or gentleness is shameful"

……

"It's hard to imagine that mainland singers are so popular."

In the audience, Lee Jin-woong looked incredulous.

As an expatriate of PolyGram, he frequently travels to the mainland and has seen concerts of other mainland singers.

But this was the first time he had seen such a popular concert as Zhou Ziheng's.

Looking around, the seats that can accommodate more than 13,000 people are full.

Moreover, after Zhou Ziheng appeared on stage, the fans who entered the venue were more excited than each other, and screamed one after another.

Such a popular concert is rare even in Hong Kong.

Only the Four Heavenly Kings and a few people like Alan Tam can do it.

At this moment, Lee Zhenxiong finally understood why the company attached so much importance to Zhou Ziheng, a mainland singer.

He is different.

Different from other mainland singers.

Handsome looks, outstanding singing skills, and genius creative ability.

All of this makes him no longer the country bumpkin singer they think he is.

It is no exaggeration to say that he already has all the elements to become a superstar.

Looking at the fan next to him who was screaming hard towards the stage, trying to get Zhou Ziheng's attention, Lee Zhenxiong felt a bit complicated.

He couldn't quite believe that such a person could emerge from the mainland music scene, a place despised by his peers in Hong Kong.

He lowered his head and looked at his camera, shook his head, stopped thinking about the question, and started taking pictures of the fans around him.

He brought these photos back to Hong Kong and handed them over to the company.

Let the company know that it is time to pay attention to the mainland market.

After taking pictures of the enthusiastic and excited audience, he hesitated for a moment and then pointed the camera at Zhou Ziheng on the stage.

Click!

The scene of Zhou Ziheng dancing and singing passionately was preserved forever.

……

“It’s so hot!”

Backstage, Jikequbu from the Mountain Eagle Band listened to the sound coming from the stage in front and couldn't help but reveal an envious look.

He didn't know when their Mountain Eagle band would be able to achieve this kind of popularity and this level of popularity.

"Qubu, there will be such a day for us."

Another member of the group, Ojieage, said firmly while clenching his fist.

"maybe!"

Jikequbu is not so optimistic.

A concert with more than 10,000 people is not something that can be achieved easily.

There are so many singers in mainland China now.

How about Mao Amin?
How about Liu Huan?

How about the Black Panther band?

So many nationally famous singers have not done this.

You can imagine how difficult this is.

……

After last night's performance, Zhou Ziheng seemed to be more comfortable singing again today.

One song after another.

The performance of each song was obviously much better than last night.

More importantly, due to his relaxed mentality, he was able to interact with the audience more freely.

While singing, he would come to the edge of the stage and interact with the audience by clapping.

Every time he interacted with someone by clapping, the fans in that area would scream.

During the interaction, Zhou Ziheng also found many familiar faces sitting in the audience.

Yang Yuying.

Although she deliberately concealed herself, Zhou Ziheng still recognized her at a glance.

The most popular sweet song queen in the Chinese music scene, who once briefly became "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" with him, is sitting with a young man.

The two behaved intimately and seemed to be in love.

It’s confirmed, he’s the little thief from the Lai family.

In addition to Yang Yuying, Zhou Ziheng also discovered Gao Linsheng, one of the leading singers of White Swan, and Lin Yilun of Pacific.

Obviously, these people came specifically to see his concert.

Zhou Ziheng felt a little excited about this.

Although in terms of popularity, he does surpass these singers.

But it was still a bit surprising to see them at my own concert.

This fully demonstrates that I am not only leading the trend in makeup.

The same is true in the music industry.

His peers all regard him as a benchmark in the industry, and the purpose of coming to his concerts is naturally to learn.

But it’s normal to think about it.

A solo concert for 10,000 people.

This is unprecedented in the mainland.

Even Hong Kong and Taiwan took this very seriously and sent people to check out the situation. Naturally, local singers are not all fools. Zhou Ziheng could already foresee that after this round of his concerts, there would definitely be a trend of singers holding concerts in the mainland.

Yang Yuying and Gao Linsheng, who are already well-known among the new generation of 1994, will definitely follow in his footsteps and start their concerts immediately.

Time passed, more than half an hour passed.

After singing the song "Big City, Small Love", Zhou Ziheng invited his first guest, the Shanying Band.

Because Chen Xiaoqi specifically asked Zhou Ziheng to take care of the Shanying band, Zhou Ziheng personally introduced them to the fans.

“The Mountain Eagle Band is a very outstanding music group. They have integrated folk music into rock music, and their songs are very outstanding.

......"

Zhou Ziheng solemnly introduced the Mountain Eagle group to everyone.

The fans in the audience were also very considerate and applauded to welcome the Shanying band.

Seeing this, Zhou Ziheng quietly left the stage and handed the stage over to the Shanying Band.

The songs of the Shanying band do have a strong Yi flavor, but the songs are also very good.

"Torch Festival in July" and "Out of Daliang Mountain" have both attracted a lot of attention from fans.

When they left the stage, the fans gave them a very warm round of applause.

The concert continued and Zhou Ziheng continued his singing.

After singing for more than forty minutes, another female guest, Gan Ping, was invited.

Gan Ping has been very popular in the past two years.

He is considered to be one of the top singers in the South.

The song "Wet Heart" won her countless fans.

If her appearance and number of golden songs were not as good as Yang Yuying, she might even be on par with Yang Yuying.

She sang two songs on stage.
One of them is naturally "Wet Heart".

The other is the children's song "Three Monks" from her album "Kiss the Mermaid" released in January.

January and February of 1994 were definitely months of fierce competition among the gods.

Needless to say, Zhou Ziheng's song "Fairy Tale" has been selling well in the past two months, and the song has been dominating the major charts for a long time.

But the music industry does not belong to Zhou Ziheng alone.

Others have also released hit songs that are widely loved by fans.

"A Letter Home" by Li Chunbo.

“Smiling Face” by Xie Dong.

"Are You Okay in a Foreign Land" by Bald Li Jin

Gao Linsheng's "I'm the One Who Cares About You"

Gan Ping's "Three Monks"

These are just songs from the mainland.

If we add those from Hong Kong and Taiwan, the number will be even greater.

Jacky Cheung's "Blessing"

Aaron Kwok's "Wild City"

Meng Tingwei's "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind"

Alan Tam's "Can't Say Goodbye" and so on.

It can be said that these few months have been a time when hit songs have been produced frequently in the mainland.

Fans may even worry about what album to buy because of lack of funds.

Among them, Gan Ping's "Three Monks" may not be as popular and famous as other songs in later generations.

But in 1994, this song was definitely a hit.

The song's on-demand streaming data on TV stations was once second only to Zhou Ziheng's "Fairy Tale".

If it weren't for Zhou Ziheng's "Fairy Tale", it would definitely be the song that TV stations bombarded the most to audiences.

As far as Zhou Ziheng knew, this was the case in the previous life.

This song is broadcast on TV almost all year round because of the large number of on-demand requests.

It became the most listened to song by many people born in the 1980s and 1990s as children.

After Gan Ping finished singing, most of the concert time had already passed.

In the following time, Zhou Ziheng continued with all his strength, never going backstage again, and sang his songs one after another.

The fans in the audience didn't show any sign of getting tired of the performance and screamed loudly throughout.

Zhou Ziheng even heard that the voices of several fans had become hoarse.

At nine o'clock, the two-hour concert ended.

But it was different from last night's fans.

Today's fans are a little disobedient.

After Zhou Ziheng asked them to leave last night, the fans began to leave one by one obediently.

But today, perhaps because they all felt it was still early, none of them were willing to leave, and instead loudly asked Zhou Ziheng to sing another song.

Seeing that no one wanted to leave, Zhou Ziheng had no choice but to sing another song "Fairy Tale", which made them leave contentedly.

"too tired!"

After returning to the backstage, Zhou Ziheng sat down on the sofa and didn't want to get up.

The whole audience was dancing and singing, and not only did their throats feel sore, but their bodies were also very tired.

Florence Hui immediately brought hot water and food to soothe the throat.

"Drink some hot water first."

Zhou Ziheng took the half-warm hot water and gulped it down in one gulp.

Then he took the food and started to devour it.

Holding a concert is a very troublesome thing.

To avoid having to urinate or defecate during the performance.

His diet has been extremely controlled over the past two days.

He could only eat half full and drink only a little water to ensure that he would not get diarrhea or be unable to hold it in while singing.

Therefore, he was now hungry and thirsty.

And now, he finally ate to his heart's content.

At the very least, he doesn't have to control his diet until the day after tomorrow.

The concert in Shenzhen will be held the day after tomorrow. Although he will be there tomorrow, he doesn’t need to continue controlling his diet for the time being.

Of course, this doesn't mean he can eat as much as he wants right away.

In order to avoid getting sick or having a stomach upset that might cause problems during the concert, he carefully selects the food he eats.

In short, he'd better not eat anything during the concert.

"Call the police station and ask them to send more people on patrol. Don't let what happened last night happen again."

Zhou Ziheng was eating while giving instructions to Florence Hui.

The incident where two fans were robbed last night was very bad.

It's not good for his image or Guangzhou's.

His concerts this time have attracted attention not only in China but also abroad.

If such terrible incidents occur frequently and are not handled properly, they may even rise to the level of affecting the country's image.

This is not alarmist.

but facts.

The country is now bidding for the Olympic Games and is attaching great importance to public security in such performances.

If it is accidentally spread abroad, it might even reach the Olympic Organizing Committee.

That would be a difficult matter.

"Don't worry, I've already called."

As Florence Huo spoke, she handed Zhou Ziheng a cup of soy milk.

"Well, I can rest assured that you will do the work."

He finally understood why Tingfeng never changed his agent.

Florence Hui is indeed a good agent.

Not only is he talented, he's also caring.

At the very least, after spending some time with her, Zhou Ziheng has become unable to leave her.

If he changes his agent, he might not be able to adapt.

"You can find a deputy manager from Hengdong. You should know someone in this field in Hong Kong and you can invite him over.

It's okay if the salary is a little higher. I can help you deal with the company's affairs. As for you, you can focus more on me. "

"You have some conscience. I thought you took me for granted."

Florence Hui rolled her eyes and said.

"Ha ha……"

Zhou Ziheng smiled awkwardly.

He had indeed not considered this issue before. After Hengdong Records was established, he directly appointed Florence Hui as the manager, and then he ordered her around whenever he had something to do.

This is indeed a bit too heartless.
