Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 89 Return to the Mainland

Zhou Ziheng's popularity in the Chinese-speaking regions is not phenomenal, but it can be said to be extremely popular.

Whether in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand or other places with the largest Chinese population, his songs are widely sung.

Recently, Wanwan Daily published an article about him.

He is called the most popular singer in the Chinese music scene this year.

He is also the most popular singer from the mainland in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places.

Speaking of Wanwan.

In fact, Zhou Ziheng's "Sad Pacific" is more popular in Taiwan than in Hong Kong.

In September, Yieneng had considered arranging Zhou Ziheng to go to Wanwan to promote "Pacific Rim".

It was only because of the filming of "New Hard Times" that I had to give up in the end.

As for going there after the movie is finished, that is obviously not possible.

Because Zhou Ziheng will return to the mainland on the 28th.

After Zhou Ziheng goes back this time, it will probably be next year before he returns to Hong Kong.

There is simply no time to go to Taiwan for publicity.

On the 28th, Zhou Ziheng had a meal with Gigi Lai, Leon Lai and others, and then set off on the return journey.

……

"There is a bird sitting on a tree"

"What kind of bird is this?"

“It makes my heart beat”

……

"Let me tell you softly"

"The stars in the sky are waiting"

"Share your loneliness and your joy"

……

Beijing, airport.

Zhou Ziheng landed here directly by plane.

The reason why he did not return to Guangzhou directly was because Zhou Ziheng was going to attend the 1993 Mid-Autumn Festival Gala held by CCTV on the th.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala is different from previous years.

In previous years, the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala usually only had mainland singers and a few Hong Kong singers.

This year, CCTV invited a large number of singers from Taiwan.

Zhou Huajian, Wu Qilong from Little Tigers, Zhang Yusheng, Zhao Chuan and other very popular singers in mainland China were all present.

Faced with so many big-name singers from Taiwan, it is naturally impossible for the mainland to allow some small singers to perform on stage. They must definitely bring out the current top domestic singers.

Zhou Ziheng is currently the most popular singer in mainland China, and his record sales rank first in the mainland.

Moreover, he has also made it into Hong Kong and Taiwan, and is currently the most influential mainland singer in those countries.

It would be unreasonable to not have him at this kind of occasion.

Therefore, as early as the beginning of the month, CCTV sent him an invitation letter and solemnly told him that he must come back.

Well, Zhou Ziheng understood that he couldn’t lose face.

Compared with the previous life, the mainland music scene during this period was looked down upon by Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In this life, this perception has changed because of Zhou Ziheng's sudden appearance.

Since the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong and Taiwan have been exporting culture to the mainland.

This year, Zhou Ziheng made a rare reverse output, which not only boosted the morale of the mainland music scene, but also made Hong Kong and Taiwan singers put away some of their contempt.

airport.

As soon as Zhou Ziheng left the airport, he heard songs that belonged only to the mainland.

The constant flow of people around him also made him feel at home.

The mainland is still better, although it is not as prosperous as Hong Kong for the time being.

But that kind of down-to-earthness makes people feel more comfortable.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou. I'm here to pick you up. My name is Yan Shousheng."

At the airport gate, there were Mid-Autumn Festival Gala staff holding signs and looking around.

When he saw Zhou Ziheng, he immediately trotted over and grabbed Zhou Ziheng's hand.

"You are absolutely awesome. We heard in China that you are doing great things out there, and we are all very excited..." This man was very excited, just like the fans Zhou Ziheng met in Hong Kong.

However, this person might really be his fan.

"Hello Mr. Yan, thank you for your support."

Zhou Ziheng pulled his hand away, but it didn't move.

"Mr. Yan, we can go to the hotel to talk first. It's not very convenient here."

Seeing Zhou Ziheng's embarrassment, Florence Hui rushed to the rescue.

Zhou Ziheng silently gave a thumbs up.

It turned out that Xiao Huo had good vision, and it was worth it for him to poach her from the entertainment industry.

"Ohhh, sorry!"

Only then did Yan Shousheng realize that this was the wrong place.

At this time, some people began to look in this direction, wanting to recognize him but not daring to.

After all, Zhou Ziheng had participated in the Spring Festival Gala.

His face is still familiar to many people in the country.

"Our car is outside, Mr. Zhou, please follow me." Yan Shousheng let go of Zhou Ziheng's hand and began to lead the way.

"Has the singer from Wanwan arrived yet?"

Zhou Ziheng asked while walking.

“Here they are, on the first flight of the morning, they came together.

Come to think of it, Mr. Zhou, you are really famous in Taiwan. After knowing that you will also attend this party, several singers in Taiwan have been asking if you have arrived and want to meet you. "

Yan Shousheng said with some pride.

"I want to get to know them, too." Zhou Ziheng said with a smile.

In fact, the Taiwanese music scene during this period was no different from that in Hong Kong.

Covers are also popular.

If PolyGram is Hong Kong's cover song base, then Feidie is Taiwan's cover song base.

Except for a few singers, other singers also started out by singing covers.

But what is different from Hong Kong is that there are rolling stones in Wanwan.

Although Rolling Stone Records also buys foreign song covers for its singers, relatively speaking, they pay more attention to original works.

Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng are examples of this.

Speaking of these two people.

Sometimes Zhou Ziheng wonders that if there were no these two people in the Chinese music scene, the music scene in the 1990s might have completely become a domain of cover songs.

It is precisely because of the existence of Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng and others that the Taiwanese music scene has not completely followed the footsteps of the Hong Kong music scene.

At the same time, because there are a large number of people who are still creating original works, by the mid-1990s, probably around next year, the Taiwanese music scene will officially begin to overtake the Hong Kong music scene, leaving behind the Hong Kong music scene and becoming the center of the Chinese music scene.

The hotel arranged for Zhou Ziheng and others to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala was said to be specially built to entertain businessmen from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

They had just arrived at the hotel and were checking in.

Then I saw four or five people coming down from upstairs.

Zhou Ziheng looked back and immediately recognized that these people were Zhou Huajian and his group who came from Wanwan.

The people over there also saw Zhou Ziheng and others who were going through the formalities.

Zhang Yusheng, who was walking in front, saw Zhou Ziheng and seemed to recognize him. His eyes lit up and he walked straight over.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Zhou Ziheng?" He was a little unsure.

"I am!" Zhou Ziheng nodded with a smile.

"I'm Zhang Yusheng. I really appreciate what you said before. It really speaks to my heart."

"Mr. Zhang, you're welcome. I really like your song 'My Future Is Not a Dream'. I still have the tape of your record at home."

Zhou Ziheng knew what Zhang Yusheng was referring to, which was actually the sentence when he criticized Jacky Cheung for being a cover singer.

Don’t think that the Four Heavenly Kings are now very popular in Asia and seem to be the most popular wherever they go.

But the fact is that many people in the circle look down on them.

The Three Masters of Magic Rock were not the only ones who hated the Four Heavenly Kings.

In Wanwan, Zhang Yusheng, Qi Qin, Wang Jie and others all look down on the Four Heavenly Kings.

Just like what Zhou Ziheng said, they also think that the Four Heavenly Kings are just four copycats.
