Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 26 Suddenly Became "Golden Boy and Jade Girl"
Late September.

After a month of fermentation.

The tape "Wandering Song" has become a huge hit in the entire Guangdong Province.

It is no longer as simple as just a large order quantity.

In the market, in the entire Guangdong province, the only tapes that can compete with this one are Andy Lau's "Thank You For Your Love" and Yang Yuying's "Wind Full of Love and Water Full of Smiles".

Other tapes, even "Lover and Confidant" which was released in Hong Kong in early September and introduced to the mainland on the 10th, are inferior to "Wandering Song".

On the radio.

On more than a dozen radio stations in Guangdong Province, the number of songs on the tape "Wandering Songs" has been rising rapidly.

On September 1992, 9, the feasibility study report of China's manned space program was officially approved, and China's manned space program started.

Shenzhou-1 is about to take off.

On this day, China achieved a major breakthrough in science and technology.

Guangdong Province’s most important music chart, Guangdong New Songs Chart, has welcomed a new champion song.

"Wandering Song" defeated Yang Yuying's "Tea Mountain Love Song" with an overwhelming advantage and became the champion of Guangdong Province's new song chart.

This is the first time that Zhou Ziheng's tape has topped the charts since it was released on the radio.

In addition to the Guangdong Province New Songs Chart.

On the Southern Radio chart, "Wandering Song" also reached the second place, second only to Andy Lau's "Thank You for Your Love".

The same is true for other music charts in Guangdong Province, most of which made it into the top five.

And several other songs on this tape also ranked in the top ten.

Sales were booming, radio rankings were excellent, and Zhou Ziheng’s singing could be heard in the streets and alleys.

This made Zhou Ziheng an instant rising star in Guangdong Province.

Within a month, Zhou Ziheng received three commercial performance invitations.

The appearance fee jumped from nothing to several thousand per show.

And that’s not all.

Zhou Ziheng declined some invitations.

Many people who wanted to invite Zhou Ziheng simply couldn't contact him.

The invitations he has received so far are all from Pacific Audio and Video, and Pacific Audio and Video notified Zhou Ziheng.

In order to avoid the financial backers being unable to contact me.

In mid-month, Zhou Ziheng hired an agent for himself, Wang Ziqi.

When we say agent, it’s actually just an assistant.

Her responsibility is to help Zhou Ziheng contact and select commercial performances.

In order to let the outside financial sponsors know my contact information.

Zhou Ziheng used the money he earned from commercial performances during this period to buy a phone for himself and his agent Wang Ziqi.

He also asked Liu Zhiwen to help give Wang Ziqi's phone number to newspapers of all sizes in Guangdong Province, asking them to publish Wang Ziqi's contact information when reporting on him.

The effect is really good.

It had only been a few days since Wang Ziqi’s phone number was published in the newspaper.

A large number of sponsors who originally did not know Zhou Ziheng's contact information called Wang Ziqi and invited Zhou Ziheng to perform in commercial shows.

Regarding this, Zhou Ziheng accepted all commercial performances, big or small, unless they were too far away or he couldn't attend due to time constraints.

There's nothing we can do about it, it's all caused by poverty.

Zhou Ziheng knew that he still owed more than 70,000 yuan in debt.

In order to pay off the money as soon as possible.

Naturally, Zhou Ziheng could only try his best to take on commercial performances.

……

After Wang Xiaoqi was hired, Zhou Ziheng paid her a monthly salary of 800 yuan, arranged a commercial performance for her, and gave her a bonus of 200 yuan. At the end of the month, as long as there was no commercial performance, she could easily earn thousands of yuan a month.

In the 1990s, or 1992, earning over a thousand dollars a month was definitely a very good income.

At that time, "Wandering Song" was popular in Guangdong Province and became the favorite tape of migrant workers in Guangdong Province.

This tape is the best-selling tape in the entire Guangdong record and tape market.

In addition, it topped the Voice of Music Guangdong Province New Songs Chart.

An entertainment magazine under the Southern Daily even praised Zhou Ziheng as "the biggest surprise in mainland China in 1992." He and Yang Yuying of the New Era were even called the golden boy and jade girl of Guangdong province.

Yes, it’s the golden boy and the jade girl.

I don’t know which link went wrong.

In mid-September, Guangzhou’s famous magazine “Youth” published a cover edition.

The protagonists of this issue of the magazine are Zhou Ziheng and Yang Yuying.

When Zhou Ziheng went to shoot the magazine cover, he didn't know that he was not the only one on the cover.

It was not until the photo shoot was completed and the magazine was released that he bought the magazine and discovered that he and Yang Yuying shared the cover.

One left and one right.

The title is "The Golden Boy and Jade Girl of Guangzhou".

The golden boy and girl in the title of "Youth" are actually not a group.

It's just a compliment given to the two of them by "Youth".

Unexpectedly, after this name came out, it was immediately loved by other media. When referring to Zhou Ziheng and Yang Yuying, they directly called them the golden boy and jade girl.

Then, the title of Guangdong Province's Golden Boy and Jade Girl was given to Zhou Ziheng and Yang Yuying.

Zhou Ziheng naturally had no objection to being compared with Yang Yuying and being called the "golden boy and jade girl".

Although Yang Yuying's "The Wind is Full of Love and the Water is Full of Smiles" is inferior to Zhou Ziheng in terms of order volume in Guangdong Province, it is not weak either.

The order volume for Zhou Ziheng's "Wandering Song" in Guangdong Province was only 60,000 to 70,000 copies apart.

Both parties are basically at the same level.

Tying it to yourself will only increase your exposure and will not bring you any harm.

However, Zhou Ziheng and Yang Yuying are called the golden boy and jade girl.

Some people were unhappy.

This person is no one else.

It was Mao Ning who New Era originally planned to combine with Yang Yuying into "Golden Boy and Jade Girl".

Originally, he planned to release a new album immediately after Yang Yuying's album was released.

As a result, Zhou Ziheng suddenly appeared halfway.

By some strange coincidence, they snatched away the title of "Golden Boy and Jade Girl".

This made him extremely angry and furious.

But he didn't know Zhou Ziheng, so he couldn't cause trouble for him even if he wanted to.

So, he could only find Li Qiang, the manager of New Era, with anger.

"Manager, why? Why do you want to push for Zhou Ziheng and Yang Yuying to become a golden couple?

If you do this, what about me? Is the company going to give up on me?"

As soon as he entered Li Qiang's office, he spoke angrily.

At this moment, he had forgotten that Li Qiang was his boss and the person who could decide his life and death.

But he really couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

Others may not know, but he is in the new era every day, he knows it very well.

The practice of promoting Zhou Ziheng and Yang Yuying as the "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" of Guangdong Province was not an unconscious move by the media at all, but was driven by the new era.

"Xiao Lin, you have to understand the company. You have also seen that Zhou Ziheng is very popular, even more popular than Yang Yuying. It is undoubtedly more beneficial to the company to tie him to Yang Yuying."

Perhaps Li Qiang felt guilty towards Mao Lin, so he did not care about his offense and explained carefully.

"What about me?" Mao Lin did not accept Li Qiang's explanation and asked again in a low voice.

Li Qiang was silent.

After a while, he spoke, "Your album plan remains unchanged, but you don't need to participate in the Golden Boy and Jade Girl project."

The dates of the songs written above about Mao Ning are wrong. "Late Autumn" was not released until December 1993, and "Let Emotions Stay with Me" was not released until December 1992.

I have modified the previous part and it does not affect the reading.

I’m telling you this here to avoid reading difficulties in the future.

Then I would like to say sorry here. I was not careful enough in checking the information.
