Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

"Zhou Ziheng becomes the first actor in China to win the Golden Horse Award"

The 24-year-old Movie Emperor

"What made Zhou Ziheng rise in such a short time?"

"Heart is too soft to continue burning"

The time began to enter January 1996.

As the Spring Festival was not far away, Zhou Ziheng began to gradually reduce his work and focus his energy on this year's Spring Festival.

There is no doubt that he will continue to be there during this year's Spring Festival.

This time, the Spring Festival Gala program team strongly requested him to compose a new song to be sung on the Spring Festival Gala.

So, he had to start preparing songs for it.

After much thought, Zhou Ziheng could only feel sorry for Andy Lau.

I bought his copy of "The Chinese".

There is no way, this song has a great influence and is one of the few songs that praises the Chinese people.

In his previous life, Andy Lau had an influence in mainland China that few could match.

This song deserves great credit.

At this time, it is not far from the original 1997. If Zhou Ziheng doesn't pull it out, this song will be written by Andy Lau's team.

In his previous life, Zhou Ziheng really liked the MV of the song "Chinese".

When he saw Andy Lau singing "Chinese" on the Great Wall on TV, he was deeply excited for a long time.

The passionate melody, coupled with the exciting lyrics, plus the Great Wall that fully represents China, can make people's patriotic emotions burst out strongly.

So, he planned to copy the original MV of this song.

After staying in Guangdong for a few days, Zhou Ziheng set off for Beijing with a film crew.

However, after arriving in Beijing, Zhou Ziheng did not immediately start filming the MV, but instead participated in the CCTV New Year's Eve Gala on January 1.

This year's New Year's Eve party was quite large and many celebrities were invited.

Not to mention the popular domestic singers, Yang Yuying, Na Ying, Mao Amin and others were all present.

In addition, Xu Wei and He Jin from Hengdong Records are also among them.

Of the two, Xu Wei released "Persistence" in late 94, and last month released the very popular "You Once Were".

With just two songs, Xu Wei has successfully become one of the top singers in China.

At that time, there was no concept of status or qualifications in mainland China.

During this period, if a singer had a song that became popular across the country, he or she would often receive invitations to various large-scale programs on CCTV.

Although Xu Wei seems to have only two songs as his representative works.

But in fact, this is actually a lot.

At this time, there are still many people in the mainland who rely on one song to make a living for their entire lives!
Many singers only have one hit song.

Therefore, it was normal for Xu Wei to be invited.

As for He Jin, he has already released three albums.

Songs such as "Little Flower", "Come Back Soon", "The Wind Blows North" and "As Long as You Are There" are quite popular in mainland China.

Although he did not become a well-known popular singer, he was firmly in the first-line ranks.

In addition to the above-mentioned acquaintances and people from Zhou Ziheng’s own company.

The New Year's Eve party also featured a new singer, Huo Feng, who sang "Big Flower Sedan".

This is the little fat boy that Zhou Ziheng met when he was singing on the street.

Huo Feng released one of his famous masterpieces, "Big Flower Sedan" in January 1995.

This song was extremely popular in 1995 due to its magical style and became the hit song of the year.

Others include Sun Hao, who became popular across the country by singing "Chinese Folk Songs" on the Spring Festival Gala last year.

In addition, Shi Xiaolong, who has become extremely popular in the Chinese-speaking regions in recent years with the drama "Abbot's Courtyard", also appeared at the party.

At that time, Shi Xiaolong was only a few years old. He had a bald head and wore the monk robe that made him famous all over the country. He bit the bottle when drunk and looked so cute.

At the party, he became the object of everyone's teasing.

Everyone wants to pinch his cute face.

However, unlike the young monk with great martial arts skills in the movie, Shi Xiaolong in real life is very shy and timid.

When someone pinches his face, he will immediately burst into tears and cry for his mother.

"Huo Feng, stop teasing him. Don't you see that he is very afraid of you?"

Behind the scenes of the party, Shi Xiaolong cried again, his cries echoed throughout the entire backstage. He was scared to tears by Huo Feng.

At this time, the little fat boy looked very old and like a bad guy. Shi Xiaolong was very afraid of him.

But this guy loves to tease Shi Xiaolong the most.

He runs, he chases, he teases, he cries.

Seeing that Shi Xiaolong's mother's face turned unhappy because her child was made to cry again, everyone blamed Huo Feng.

Children are indeed fun, but it is really hard to comfort them when they cry.

In fact, children in mainland China are very easy to coax at this time. They can be coaxed with a handful of candy or a small toy.

But Shi Xiaolong grew up in deception.

How old was Shi Xiaolong when he filmed his first movie?

Only about four or five years old.

A kid this young doesn't know shit about filming.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that he and Hao Shaowen performed well in the movie.

In fact, they were completely deceived into filming the film.

Director Wanwan used all kinds of electronic devices, toys, and candies to coax people into filming.

Because he has been cheated so many times, this guy has become immune to ordinary candy toys.

He is not interested in ordinary things at all.

So, whenever he cries, it takes his mother and staff a long time to comfort him.

"This little guy is so lucky. He's already famous all over the country at such a young age. I'm sure he'll be a big star in the future."

Everyone envies Shi Xiaolong.

This little guy is extremely popular in Asia at such a young age, which is an achievement that countless people will never achieve in their lifetime.

Unlike what they thought, Zhou Ziheng felt a little sorry for Shi Xiaolong.

Don’t think that Shi Xiaolong is extremely popular now.

But he was too young.

At such a young age, his parents took him back and forth between China and abroad to film every day.

To be honest, that level of work is something that even an adult might not be able to handle, let alone a child.

But to be honest, it has both advantages and disadvantages.

Although he missed out on a lot of childhood fun, in fact, the four or five-year-old Shi Xiaolong already possessed wealth that many people will never have in their entire lives.

He has signed multiple drama contracts with Wanwan Changhong Film and Television. Although his pay may be very low, it is still a considerable amount.

Combined with various commercial performances and advertising endorsements, he has made a huge fortune in just a few years.

"Ziheng, let me discuss something with you!"

Zhou Ziheng was chatting with a few friends when Yang Yuying's agent came over.

"Look, can you work with Yang Yuying on tonight's performance?"

After pulling Zhou Ziheng aside, the other party immediately whispered.

"This... the program has already been arranged..."

"It's okay, we will discuss it with the production team."

Hearing this, Zhou Ziheng glanced at Yang Yuying who was on the phone, and after a moment of silence, he nodded, "Okay!"

In fact, Zhou Ziheng probably knew what they were planning.

He just wanted to use his name to help Yang Yuying.

This year, Yang Yuying's popularity and popularity in mainland China has declined significantly because she has not continued to produce good works.

At the beginning of the year, the two parties broke up because of a falling out with Thoroughly New Era.

The reason for the breakup is actually very simple. In the past two years, Yang Yuying's popularity in the mainland has been very high, reaching a point where it cannot be further improved. She is the most popular female singer in the mainland.

Seeing that Zhou Ziheng is extremely popular in the Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea markets, New Era wants to promote it to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea.

It just so happens that singers with Yang Yuying's characteristics are very popular in Japan.

With Zhou Ziheng's popularity, Japanese record companies saw an opportunity.

They reached a cooperation with New Era, and the two sides hit it off. They planned to promote Yang Yuying to Japan and released a Japanese album for Yang Yuying.

As a result, Yang Yuying was addicted to the land of tenderness.

He didn't stay in Japan for long and ran back without doing any work to promote his record.

This practice has made New Era very angry.

The two sides argued over the matter for a long time, and finally, New Era and Yang Yuying broke up.

After separating from New Era, Yang Yuying formed her own management team and chose to move north.

In fact, after Yang Yuying terminated her contract with New Era, she contacted Zhou Ziheng's Hengdong Records.

She wants to sign with Hengdong Records.

Signing Yang Yuying is actually a good deal.

After all, she is the most popular female singer in the country.

Therefore, the two sides negotiated on the signing of the contract.

The result was that the two sides failed to reach an agreement.

Yang Yuying has very high requirements. Not only does she want a high degree of autonomy, she even demands the copyright of the songs!
How could Zhou Ziheng agree to give up the copyright of the song?

Strongly disagree.

You know, if Yang Yuying joined Hengdong, the songs were actually prepared by the company.

In this case, how is it possible that the other party wants a certain percentage of the song copyright?

In addition, Yang Yuying is no longer the same as before.

The love-brained Yang Yuying was so coaxed into almost announcing her retirement.

Over the past two years, Yang Yuying has been criticized more than once by New Era for her love life.

It is said that she is always late for every recording session.
There are countless other situations, such as not attending commercial performances or not being able to find someone when calling.

It is even possible that this woman might act rashly and announce her retirement.

In this case, Hengdong would take risks if it signed her.

But even so, Yang Yuying still feels that she is now the most popular female singer in the country and demands an incredibly high salary.

So, after some thought, Zhou Ziheng finally did not sign her.

After the breakdown of talks with Hengdong, Yang Yuying chose to develop in the north.

The result was that the companies in Beijing didn't really know how to manage her and didn't have any good songs for her.

When she was in Guangzhou, Yang Yuying was the number one female singer, and she had connections in the new era, so famous creators in the south would help her create.

Chen Xiaoqi, Li Haiying and others have written songs for her.

Now that she has arrived in the capital, she naturally no longer enjoys this treatment.

Her works are not up to par and her publicity and operation are not working well, which has led to a sharp decline in Yang Yuying's popularity this year.

So, he chose to look for Zhou Ziheng.

I hope to use him to stabilize the situation.

As for why singing a song with Zhou Ziheng at the New Year’s Eve party could stabilize the situation.

The reason is very simple.

Zhou Ziheng and Yang Yuying have formed a team of golden boy and jade girl.

Although this informal group only existed for about a year, its influence was still very great.

The album "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" is one of the records with the highest sales in mainland China in recent years.

Currently, only "Fairy Tale" can compare to it.

Zhou Ziheng wasn’t quite sure how popular Yang Yuying was in her previous life, but he felt that she was definitely not as popular as she is in this life.

This is mainly because of him.

He has been very popular in recent years, and incidentally, this informal group has also been promoted.

Although the group did not exist for long and Zhou Ziheng never acknowledged it in any public occasion, it has actually always existed in the eyes of the media and the general public.

Why is Mao Ning so well-known in the mainland but not liked by others?

The reason was that he and Yang Yuying formed a new golden boy and jade girl, and everyone was very dissatisfied with him as a substitute.

In the eyes of the audience, they are all looking forward to Zhou Ziheng and Yang Yuying reuniting as the golden boy and jade girl.

Just like the three little ones in later generations who developed very well after separating, and then everyone liked the group to reunite.

In fact, this combination is generally impossible to re-form.

Everyone can create huge profits on their own, so why should we form a team and restrict our interests?

That's what golden boy and jade girl are like.

When Zhou Ziheng was tied up, he was not willing to do so.

How could he be willing to reorganize now?

However, just like the Little Tigers can reunite and perform together after many years.

Zhou Ziheng is not opposed to working with Yang Yuying.

As long as they don't collaborate often and only perform on the same stage occasionally, it will actually be of some benefit to him.

So Zhou Ziheng agreed to Yang Yuying's proposal.

But he won’t tell the program crew.

Since it was Yang Yuying who proposed it, let the program crew handle it themselves.

However, according to Zhou Ziheng's estimation, the program team would most likely agree to Yang Yuying's proposal.

There is no other reason. The golden boy and the jade girl are working together again. This gimmick alone is enough to make tonight's New Year's Eve party hot and interesting.

This was indeed the case. After a short while, the program team sent someone to invite Zhou Ziheng.

He needed to rehearse with Yang Yuying in the rehearsal room backstage.

He hasn't been on the same stage with Yang Yuying for a long time, so they need to rehearse to familiarize themselves with each other, otherwise it would be easy for accidents to happen during the performance.

"You two, my suggestion is that you sing "Heart Rain", what do you think?"

Because it was a temporary proposal from Yang Yuying, the songs were decided on temporarily.

The program team specially found Zhou Ziheng and others for the song.

"I have no opinion!"

"That's okay with me too."

Zhou Ziheng and others both agreed.

The song "Heart Rain" is probably the rare bond between the informal golden boy and jade girl group.

Many fans of Golden Boy and Jade Girl became fans of the song because of this song.

Zhou Ziheng sings this song often.

Although he does not have the copyright to this song, he still has the right to perform it, and he often sings this song in his concerts.

The same is true for Yang Yuying.

In fact, she sang more than Zhou Ziheng.

When New Era launched the New Golden Boy and Jade Girl in mid-1993, the subsequent albums were of average quality and lacked any representative songs.

Therefore, Mao Ning and Yang Yuying mostly sang "Heart Rain" when they attended events.

However, relatively speaking, fans do not agree with Mao Ning's version.

They seemed to accept Zhou Ziheng's version more.

In addition, although the New Golden Boy and Jade Girl had achieved some success, they had always been lukewarm, which led to the group finally becoming a thing of the past at the end of last year.

"Then you two should rehearse first. You have about two hours to prepare."

The director of the evening party looked at the time and reminded.
