Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 33 Big Brand
The auspicious time for the supermarket to open is getting closer.

But today's main guest, Chow Yun-fat, was nowhere to be seen.

When Zhou Ziheng went to the toilet, he clearly saw the supermarket manager jumping up and down anxiously. On the one hand, he complained that the other party didn't tell him, and on the other hand, he took out his phone and asked in a nice way where the other party was exactly.

Back to the lounge that belonged to them.

As soon as Zhou Ziheng arrived at the door, he saw that there was no one inside.

After looking around, I realized that except for Yang Yuying who had gone to the toilet and had not returned, the rest of the people were standing at the door of another lounge opposite, looking inside.

He walked over and patted Wang Ziqi.

"Ah..." Wang Ziqi was obviously startled. He turned around and saw that it was Zhou Ziheng. He touched his chest with a lingering fear on his face, "You scared me to death."

"What are you looking at?" Zhou Ziheng asked curiously.

"Did you know? Among the guests from Hong Kong and Taiwan this time, in addition to Chow Yun-fat, there is also Grasshopper! That's Grasshopper, the most popular group in Hong Kong."

At this moment, Wang Ziqi looked like a little fan girl chasing her idol.

In fact, she is already 31 years old and her son is 10 years old.

However, Zhou Ziheng was not surprised why she was so excited.

Grasshopper!

This is the most popular group in Hong Kong in recent years, no doubt about it.

Although Beyond has become gods in later generations, their songs have become part of many people's playlists.

But in this era, compared to Beyond's realistic songs that reflect social ills, what they see and feel, and the emotions in their hearts, Grasshopper's dance style is obviously more popular among people of this era.

As mentioned before, future singers' songs will mostly be based on complex emotions, while current songs will mostly be based on simplicity and plainness.

Listeners of this era don’t care how much artistic flavor your songs have.

What they care about is whether it sounds good or not.

From the melody point of view, Grasshopper's songs are obviously more attractive, and because of their dance style, they are very popular in Hong Kong.

At this time, the popular trend in the mainland was mainly imitating Hong Kong. Whatever was popular in Hong Kong became popular here.

Naturally, Grasshopper is also very popular here.

Didn’t you see that on the night when Zhou Ziheng sang “Wandering Song” for the first time in the nightclub, the resident singers in the nightclub were still singing “Forgettable Samba”?

"Everyone, disperse! What's the point of gathering here? If you continue to gather around, people might think that we have no manners."

Although I know that the actions of Wang Ziqi and others are normal.

But Zhou Ziheng still couldn't help feeling a little angry.

They all seem to have never seen the world. No wonder those Hong Kong people always say that people from the mainland are unsophisticated. It's all because of their own lack of ambition.

I'm such a big singer, and I hang around in front of them every day, but I've never seen any of them get excited.

Zhou Ziheng felt really uncomfortable.

Think about how these Hong Kong stars are treated, and then think about yourself.

He felt that he was not a singer at all.

"Wandering Song" has been released for such a long time, and his MTV is played on TV in Guangdong Province every day.

As a result, up to now, he has never met a single audience member who recognized him in real life.

All I can say is, it's so sad.

At Zhou Ziheng's urging, everyone left Grasshopper's lounge and returned to their own lounge.

"Eihua Store even invited Grasshopper, what a great lineup!"

"Yes! And Zhou Runfa."

"I will definitely ask him for his autograph after the opening ceremony. His performance in Police Story is so good."

"Yes! My favorite is still his A Chinese Ghost Story."

Several people sent by the New Era were still discussing with Wang Ziqi.

However, the more Zhou Ziheng listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

When did "Police Story" become Chow Yun-fat?

There is also "A Chinese Ghost Story".

He didn't explain to them and just listened to them arguing.

You know what, a few of them kept arguing with each other and actually forced the horse's mouth to hit the bull's head.

Zhou Ziheng shook his head when he heard this.

These guys can't even tell Jackie Chan and Chow Yun-fat apart, so why are they so excited?

But it's normal to think about it. In this era, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are rarely seen on TV except in videotapes and cassettes.

In addition to the name, it is normal for some viewers to mistake an actor's work.

Sit in the lounge and continue waiting.

Just when Zhou Ziheng was dozing off while waiting, there was finally a commotion outside.

"I'm coming!"

This commotion not only attracted Wang Ziqi and others to run out to watch.

Even the grasshopper in the lounge next door started to move.

The three members of Grasshopper walked out of the lounge.

Zhou Ziheng stood at the door and looked towards the gate.

At first glance, I saw Zhou Runfa surrounded by the crowd.

My goodness, if Zhou Ziheng didn’t know that this was reality, he almost thought he had traveled to the world of “A Better Tomorrow” again.

Zhou Runfa had a solemn look on his face, was wearing a big windbreaker and a pair of big black sunglasses, and was walking towards the lounge with a wild and cool step.

"Make way! Please make way!"

The big star has arrived, and the store clerks are also alarmed, and they all run over to watch.

Aihua is such a big supermarket, so there are naturally a lot of staff.

After a while, the aisle was completely blocked.

Zhou Runfa's team members tried to persuade them in a friendly manner at first.

Finally, seeing that he couldn't persuade her anymore, he could only use his ultimate move and yelled at her in a loud voice:
"I told you, get out of the way!"

The person in charge of China Resources Supermarket also rushed over and started to drive people away.

With the help of the person in charge of China Resources, Zhou Runfa walked towards the lounge smoothly.

"Brother Fa!" The three Grasshoppers on the opposite side greeted the God of Gamblers.

Then, a few of them walked into Zhou Runfa's lounge, talking and laughing.

"Should we go over and visit?"

Yang Yuying, who had just come out of the toilet, asked cautiously.

Zhou Ziheng touched his nose and said, "Forget it!"

Hong Kong stars of this period generally looked down on their mainland stars.

Why should I continue to make myself uncomfortable?

“That’s right, the few Hong Kong and Taiwan stars I met before all had their butts sticking up in the air.

If you greet them, those with good tempers will respond, but those with bad tempers will just ignore you.”

Yang Yuying nodded in agreement.

She has been active in the Guangdong music scene for several years and has attended many events involving Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.

Every time they are on the same stage, except for a few with good personalities, many other stars are arrogant and difficult to deal with.

"Do you think there will come a day when these guys will need to curry favor with us?"

Suddenly, Yang Yuying said with some expectation.

Hearing this, Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but look at her carefully a few times.

“It’s not a matter of if, but a matter of sure.”

When Zhou Ziheng thought about the situation in the mainland after its economy developed, he suddenly wanted to laugh.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.

The same applies to these Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.

It is hard to imagine that the Hong Kong and Taiwan stars who are still looking down on mainland stars today will one day head north.

And it will also become synonymous with cheap.

Some people always say that Hong Kong and Taiwan actors and stars are cheap.

Don't even think about why they are cheap.

Why don't they take them to watch when there are so many good movies in the mainland?

Isn’t this the evil consequence caused today!
