Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 92 I Refuse to Send Songs
The Mid-Autumn Festival Gala was first held two years ago, in 1991.

The first Mid-Autumn Festival Gala brought together the three largest television stations in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, including CCTV, Taiwan TV and TVB.

Fei Yuqing, Tsai Chin, Sandy Lam, Li Lingyu, crosstalk actors Ma Ji, Zhao Yan, opera actors Li Changchun, Li Jialin, Shang Changrong, etc. were invited to the event, and the theme song was sung by Li Guyi.

Subsequently, last year’s Mid-Autumn Festival arts and culture were added to television stations such as Singapore, further expanding its influence.

However, in terms of the pop music scene, this year's lineup is obviously larger, bringing together almost all of the most popular pop singers from the mainland and Taiwan.

This also shows from the side that starting from this year, the mainland music scene has officially entered the pop era.

……

Mid-Autumn Festival is definitely one of the most important customs in China today.

Customs such as guessing riddles, eating moon cakes, appreciating osmanthus flowers and drinking osmanthus wine are popular throughout China.

Since the year before last, many families have developed the habit of watching the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala on this day.

The same is true for Wang Xiaoming's family.

After dinner, the family watched for a while and then sat in the living room waiting for the show to begin.

Mother Wang brought out mooncakes from the house.

Sent one to each family member.

The Mid-Autumn Festival should be the day that children and teenagers look forward to the most besides the Spring Festival.

Because there are mooncakes to eat on this day.

The round cake symbolizes the full moon and family reunion...and it's especially delicious.

Wang Xiaoming ate very quickly and soon finished the mooncake in his hand.

"mom!"

After finishing eating, he saw his mother still eating in small bites, so he licked his lips and sat next to her in a flattering manner.

Mother Wang rolled her eyes at him and said, "You secretly ate two at noon, and now you're still thinking about your mother's?"

Wang Xiaoming smiled awkwardly. Mooncakes! This was what he looked forward to most every year. He couldn't help it at noon, so he quietly ran into his parents' room and secretly ate two.

But even so, he never got tired of eating it.

How can one get tired of eating mooncakes? He wishes he could eat mooncakes every day. He would even skip meals and only eat mooncakes.

"You prodigal son, if I hadn't known you would eat secretly, I would have bought a few more to keep as a backup. Who knows who will be left without a meal tonight."

While scolding him, Mother Wang broke the mooncake in her hand into two pieces and handed the larger piece to him.

"Hey hey hey..."

Wang Xiaoming took the mooncake with a silly smile and started eating it.

"The party has begun!" At this time, Father Wang suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, the whole family, including Wang Xiaoming, quickly turned their attention to the TV.

A few days ago, Wang Xiaoming saw the program preview saying that his favorite Zhou Ziheng would be at today's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.

In fact, Wang Xiaoming didn’t know why he liked Zhou Ziheng.

He is a junior high school student. If you really ask him to explain it in detail, he will definitely not be able to do it clearly.

Anyway, he only knew that most people in the school liked Zhou Ziheng.

When classmates give gifts to each other, if someone receives a box of Zhou Ziheng's cassettes, he or she will definitely become the object of everyone's envy.

Wang Xiaoming didn’t have any cassettes of Zhou Ziheng, but only a cool poster of Zhou Ziheng, which he collected solemnly.

The prelude to the opening of the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala ended, and the TV camera was focused on a somewhat dark stage.

Two teams of female dancers dressed as Chang'e from Journey to the West came on stage first accompanied by melodious tunes.

Song: "A Beautiful Night with Full Moon"

Lyricist: Zhou Ziheng
Composer: Zhou Ziheng
Singer: Zhou Ziheng, Meng Tingwei (Wan Wan)
Dance: Oriental Song and Dance Ensemble.

"The spring breeze blows into my heart"

"My heart is pounding because I miss you and I can't fall asleep"

Along with a sweet voice, a good-looking female singer slowly walked out and the song came out of her mouth.

Wait until she finishes singing.

A handsome man walked out from the other side of the stage, and sang passionately as he walked to the center of the stage.

"The moon is high in the sky, curved like your eyebrows"

"My heart that misses you can only move forward and not retreat"

"I'm telling you, do you know that flowing water is merciless?"

……

"It's Zhou Ziheng, it's Zhou Ziheng."

Seeing Zhou Ziheng, Wang Xiaoming jumped off the sofa excitedly.

"Mom and Dad, Zhou Ziheng is very famous. I heard that he is more popular than the Four Heavenly Kings. Everyone in our school likes him..."

"Stop talking nonsense and just watch TV!"

Lao Wang looked at his son who was blocking the TV and scolded him.

The song on TV was so beautiful that the whole family was attracted to it.

Songs with beautiful tunes are like that, they can easily attract the audience's attention.

"A Beautiful Moon Over Flowers" is obviously one of them.

At this time, countless people in front of the TV saw this performance.

"It's Zhou Ziheng!"

"He's so handsome!"

"Yes, he is more handsome than Andy Lau."

In order to match the performance today, Zhou Ziheng specially wore a white suit.

White shows spirit.

With Zhou Ziheng's likable face and beautiful songs, the performance attracted the admiration of the audience in front of the TV as soon as she appeared on stage.

Compared with Zhou Ziheng, Meng Tingwei did not receive such treatment.

In fact, she sings quite well, and her appearance is also very good among singers.

But when this person appeared, she didn't even put on makeup, and looked perfunctory.

The result was that although she sang with Zhou Ziheng, she did not attract the audience's attention.

"I say, who else do you have in this world?"

"I can play in the water with you and fly side by side"

On the stage, as the last line of the lyrics fell, Zhou Ziheng breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no accident. Although Meng Tingwei sang off-tune in the middle, it was not a big problem and was caught.

The dancers left the stage, and Zhou Ziheng and Meng Tingwei also retreated backstage.

"Congratulations! The performance was a success!"

Backstage, singers from the mainland gathered around, and Tengger smiled.

"It was perfect, and it was a near miss."

Zhou Ziheng looked at Meng Tingwei. After stepping down from the stage, she greeted everyone in Wanwan and then came over to say goodbye to Zhou Ziheng.

After she finished singing, she left immediately.

Although he didn't like her, Zhou Ziheng still said goodbye to her with a smile.

……

The party is over.

One singer after another came on stage.

There are so many impressive songs.

In addition to "A Night of Full Moon and Flowers" sung by Zhou Ziheng and Meng Tingwei.

There are also "The Sea" by Zhang Yusheng, "The Mountains Don't Turn, the Waters Do" by Na Ying, "Sleepless" by Wakin Chau, "How Do You Say Love" by Zhao Chuan, "The Full Moon and the Beautiful Flowers" by Mao Amin & Wakin Chau, "Wish You a Safe Journey" by Nicky Wu, "Turn On the TV" by Jie Xiaodong, and "The Moon Causes Trouble" by Zhou Ziheng.

Except during the performance, Zhou Ziheng watched the entire show backstage.

Even he himself had to admit that the singing of mainland singers was indeed not as good as that of Taiwanese singers.

It’s not about singing skills.

Mainly because of the song.

The songs of singers like Wanwan are generally more popular.

Among the mainland people, there are two performances by Zhou Ziheng.

Only Xie Xiaodong's "Turn On the TV" is very good.

If it is said that when Zhou Ziheng debuted, he was briefly called the little Aaron Kwok because of his appearance.

Then Xie Xiaodong should be the singer in mainland China who is really following the path of Aaron Kwok.

He is one of the few singers in mainland China who can sing and dance and has a large audience.

This time, "Turn On the TV" is a typical singing and dancing song.

This is not the slow beat type that Zhou Ziheng had before.

It's a real fast-paced singing and dancing. …

The Mid-Autumn Festival Gala is similar to the Spring Festival Gala.

After the performance, most singers will leave quickly, some go home, some go back to the hotel to rest.

The same went for Zhou Ziheng. He was the second one to finish singing. He went backstage to remove his makeup, said hello to the program director Zhang Xiaohai and other CCTV people, and then left with Florence Hui.

"Zhou Ziheng!"

As soon as he arrived at the parking space, he heard someone calling him.

Looking back, they were mainland singers including Na Ying, Mao Amin, Teng Geer and Jie Xiaodong.

"This is what you are doing?"

"It's like this. We discussed it and since we all come from all over the world and can't go home so late, why don't we just find a place to have a meal together and get together."

Na Ying spoke first.

She thought she was quite familiar with Zhou Ziheng.

Zhou Ziheng looked at the others, and everyone had more or less anticipation in their eyes.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhou Ziheng probably understood why he was waiting for him here.

I am now the most popular person in the mainland music scene.

His records even sold well in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places, making him a leading figure in mainland China.

In comparison, Mao Amin and Na Ying also went to Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Mao Amin signed a contract with TVB, but it was a big deal but little action. She even appeared as the closing guest at TVB's anniversary celebration, but it didn't cause any stir in Hong Kong.

Na Ying has been quiet since joining Fumao and has been silent for almost a year.

"Then let's go together! Where is the location you chose?"

Zhou Ziheng asked.

To be honest, although Mao Amin and Na Ying had more or less troubles among the people in front of him, Zhou Ziheng didn't want to have in-depth interactions with them.

But after working in the entertainment industry for a year or two, Zhou Ziheng's ideas have changed a lot.

Don't worry about what others do, just be yourself.

As long as you don't get involved in their affairs and have normal interactions with them, it won't have much impact on you.

Anyway, most of the people in the entertainment industry are just superficial friends.

……

The group found a place to eat.

Xie Xiaodong found some mooncakes from somewhere.

Everyone was eating mooncakes and chatting about interesting things.

"Zhou Ziheng, you're a good songwriter. Do you have any extra songs? Preferably in Cantonese. If you do, please sell me two."

As they were chatting, Mao Amin suddenly spoke.

As soon as she said this, everyone immediately turned their eyes to Zhou Ziheng.

Zhou Ziheng is a good songwriter, as proven by his two best-selling albums.

Moreover, Zhou Ziheng's songs are different from those of other mainland composers.

He is from Guangdong and has been exposed to a lot of Hong Kong and Taiwan culture since childhood, so his songs can more perfectly suit the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets.

This can be seen from "Pacific Sadness".

Therefore, for those who are interested in Hong Kong and Taiwan, if they can get one or two songs from him, the meaning will definitely be different.

Unfortunately, Zhou Ziheng disappointed them.

He shook his head. "I'm about to start recording a new album, so I don't have any extra songs. Sorry!"

Selling songs!

Zhou Ziheng didn't want to do this.

Even if others think he is selfish, he doesn't want to do it.

He loved reading online novels in his previous life. Every time he saw an entertainment novel where the protagonist gave away songs, he would die of poisoning.

Always keeping that state in mind, he never thought about selling songs or giving away songs after traveling through time.

Of course, if he opens a record company in the future and has signed singers, he will probably write songs for them.

But rather than giving them away for free, he would rather not copy these songs and leave them to their original authors.

In this day and age, selling songs is really no different from giving them away for free, because giving them to others means giving away the copyright as well.

And even if you sell it, how much money can you get in this era?
It will not exceed tens of thousands at most.

Of course, if someone asks him for a song, Zhou Ziheng will definitely give it to them.

But this definitely does not include Mao Amin.

"Is that so? All right then!"

Mao Amin looked unhappy after being rejected.

Zhou Ziheng glanced at her and ignored her.

Although this person suffered some setbacks in Hong Kong.

But his attitude remains as arrogant as ever.

Yes, she has been the number one female singer in mainland China for a long time.

This identity makes her always look superior.

Perhaps in her opinion, Zhou Ziheng is not as good as her.

She is the top singer in mainland China, but when she asked for a song, she was rejected miserably.

How could this make her feel comfortable?

In this regard.

Zhou Ziheng could only say.

The number one sister is not the number one brother.

I am not Yang Baibing, nor am I her master Gu Jianfen.

But there is no need to hold her up.

If you don't want to give, you don't want to give.

It’s useless for anyone to come.

Because Mao Amin rejected the invitation to sing, the atmosphere afterwards felt a little strange.

Seeing this, Zhou Ziheng did not stay long. He chatted with everyone for a few words and then took his leave. He also paid the bill before leaving.

"What kind of person is this! Look at what he can do! He doesn't even have any extra songs. I guess he just doesn't want to give them to me."

As soon as Zhou Ziheng left, Mao Amin slammed the table gloomily.

Tengger acted as if he didn't hear anything and fiddled with the leftovers on the table.

Xie Xiaodong also remained silent.

Only Na Ying frowned and said, "Sister, I have no obligation to give you a song.

We told you before not to ask this.

It is expected that others will refuse you. You are not particularly familiar with him, so why should he give you a song?

You can’t just let people not sell you things because of this…”

"Are you from your side?" Mao Amin looked at Na Ying with an unpleasant expression, and then looked at her junior brother Jie Xiaodong.

……

The next day, Zhou Ziheng went to his sister's house before returning to Guangzhou.

He visited her once when he came back from Hong Kong a few days ago, but her sister was not at home.

Went to perform a consolation show.

She did come back yesterday and invited Zhou Ziheng to her house to celebrate the festival, but Zhou Ziheng considered that his party ended a little late and he didn't want to trouble her to prepare dinner, so he didn't go.

After staying at his sister's house for a while, Zhou Ziheng said goodbye and left.

Directly board the flight back to Guangzhou.

"The spring breeze blows into my heart"

"My heart is pounding because I miss you and I can't fall asleep"

……

"I knew you were popular in the mainland, but I didn't expect you to be this popular."

Listening to the song that could be heard every few steps, Florence Hui couldn't help but sigh.

It's so hot.

The song I sang just last night.

Today, the streets and alleys are full of them.

It is said that it directly topped the major music charts.

Radio hosts took turns playing it.
