Chapter 122 The red-hot new album and the return of Xiangjiang!

On June 5 and June 8, Zhou Huimin held a farewell concert in Atlantic City and Las Vegas respectively, and then announced her retirement from the entertainment industry.

In the first week after the release of Jiang Xiaofeng's "Jiangnan" album, the genuine sales of the album exceeded 500,000 in mainland China, 100,000 in Hong Kong, 200,000 in Taiwan, and all over Asia.

The 1 million mark.

At the same time, the reputation of the album "Jiangnan" has once again been highly recognized by listeners and industry insiders.

Some people even claim that Jiang Xiaofeng's "Jiangnan" record is the greatest record in the Chinese music scene in the 1990s.

Jiang Xiaofeng alone occupied three of the top ten Chinese-language albums selected by a well-known music magazine in Taiwan.

They selected Jiang Xiaofeng's "Jiangnan", "Golden Era" and "Cross Era", as well as 10 albums including Luo Dayou's "Zhi Hu Zhe Ye", Cui Jian's "Rock on the New Long March" and Qi Yu's "Rugby".

For "Top Ten Top Chinese Records".

Regarding this selection result, Jiang Xiaofeng was not complacent, but felt that he had deserved it. He felt that his three albums were just relatively popular and did not have high artistic value.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Jiangnan" album should be Jiang Xiaofeng's most diverse album since his debut.

In the album "Jiangnan", in addition to Chinese style, there are also songs of various styles such as rock, rap, and electronic music.

The album "Jiangnan" has a total of 10 songs, which are:

Song 1: "Jiangnan"

Song 2: "The Trouble Caused by the Moon"

Song 3: "The Girl Opposite Looks Over"

Song 4: "Breaking Point"

Song 5: "If Love Gone"

Song 6: "Falling in Love with Her"

Song 7: "The Most Beautiful Sun"

Song 8: "Sound Wave"

Song 9: "Love is Just One Word"

Song 10: "Goodbye"

Among these 10 songs, the first to become popular is "Gangnam", the title song of the same name, followed by "The Girl Opposite, Look Over" and "The Trouble Caused by the Moon".

In the streets and alleys in early June 1997, whether in mainland China or Hong Kong and Taiwan, the speakers often played "We who don't understand the torment of love, hate, and sorrow, all think that falling in love is like the fickle changes of the wind and clouds." The Walkman's

The tape could never come off, "The girl opposite looks over, looks over, looks over."

In this month's major music charts, the three title songs of Jiang Xiaofeng's new album, "Jiangnan", "The Trouble Caused by the Moon" and "Look Over the Girl Opposite", took turns to top the list.

As for songs such as "Breakpoint", "Goodbye", and "Falling in Love with Her" from the new album, they have also entered the top ten of major music charts.

June 18, morning.

The total sales of Jiang Xiaofeng's "Jiangnan" album officially exceeded 2 million two weeks after its release across Asia.

In order to thank the fans for their support, Jiang Xiaofeng not only carried out promotions in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the past half month, but also held autograph sessions in Singapore, Malaysia and other Asian countries.

Because it was so popular, the Xiangjiang media even listed the album "Jiangnan" released by Jiang Xiaofeng and Xiangjiang's return as the two biggest events in June 1997.

Of course, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Jiangnan" album is just a pop music album after all, and it certainly cannot be compared with such a major event as the return of Hong Kong. After all, this is a big day for the whole country to rejoice.

However, being able to be compared with the return of Xiangjiang also proves from the side the influence of Jiang Xiaofeng's "Jiangnan" album in the entire Chinese-speaking region.

June 22, evening.

After finishing the promotion work for the album "Jiangnan", Jiang Xiaofeng returned to Yanjing and returned to the courtyard house in Houzhai Hutong.

When Jiang Xiaofeng returned to Yanjing this time, in addition to meeting his two girlfriends Tao Hong and Gao Yuanyuan, he was also invited by CCTV to participate in the Hong Kong Return Art Gala hosted by CCTV with Leslie Cheung, Liu Huan, Gong Li and other superstars.

The first thing Jiang Xiaofeng did when he returned to the courtyard was to make an appointment with Tao Hong to come to his house for lunch.

While eating, Taohong told Jiang Xiaofeng: "I bought a house in the Third Ring Road and spent more than 600,000."

Jiang Xiaofeng said "Yeah" and said, "I should have bought it a long time ago. If I was not short of money, I could buy two more sets."

Taohong asked doubtfully: "It's okay to just live in some. Why buy so many houses? What if the house price drops?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said angrily: "It can't fall. Yanjing is our capital and the most unique big city in China. You don't need any reason or hesitation to buy a house in Yanjing, just buy it."

"Let me tell you this, the housing prices in Yanjing will become higher and higher with the economic development of our country,"

"Don't think that the current house price of three to five thousand yuan in Yanjing is already very high. After a few years, you will know that the house price in Yanjing is not the highest, only higher!"

Taohong looked at Jiang Xiaofeng dubiously: "It's not that exaggerated. House prices in Yanjing have risen a lot in recent years."

Jiang Xiaofeng said bluntly: "Anyway, you listen to me, I'm right. As long as you have money, just use it to buy a house. Even if you don't have a movie in the future, you can still rely on collecting rent and live a good life like a housewife."

"However, I must remind you that if you want to buy a house, you must buy a house in Yanjing, Shanghai, or at the worst, a house in Shenzhen. Houses in most other cities are not so cost-effective.

"

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng's unquestionable expression, Taohong also felt that Jiang Xiaofeng's words were reasonable, and she also developed a strong interest in investing in real estate.

Taohong replied with a smile: "I know, you don't need to talk to me anymore, I will just buy it. I listen to you. If I have time in the next few days, I will go look at houses and buy two more houses."

"

Jiang Xiaofeng was very pleased and couldn't help but sigh: "I feel very happy that you can listen to me."

Taohong smiled and asked: "What you said, didn't I listen to you before?"

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Yes, you didn't even want me to give you money before. You don't know how disappointed I am."

Taohong held Jiang Xiaofeng's hand, with a look of emotion on her face, and said seriously: "I know everything you do is for my own good, and I won't do this again in the future. I will listen to you in everything."

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and joked: "Do you really listen to me in everything? Then can I have as many concubines as I want?"

"Okay, as long as you like it," Taohong also smiled and nodded, and then said seriously: "But you can't let others know. You are a big star after all. If people all over the country knew that you were taking concubines, they would be very concerned about your reputation.

It has a negative impact on both the image and the image.”

Jiang Xiaofeng said dumbfounded: "I'm joking with you, why are you so serious?"

Taohong looked at Jiang Xiaofeng firmly and said, "I'm not kidding you, I'm serious. I know your needs are very strong, and I can't satisfy you by myself."

"Every time I meet you on the second day, I feel like I'm about to fall apart. Once or twice is okay, but if this continues for a long time, I won't bear it at all..."

Hearing Taohong's words, Jiang Xiaofeng sighed guiltily: "Oh, I'm sorry for making you suffer."

Taohong smiled and shook her head: "I'm actually very happy that I didn't suffer, but I also know that my abilities are limited and I can't satisfy you."

"If you like someone and likes you, just accept it bravely. I won't care about you. As long as you are happy, do whatever you want, but pay attention to safety and don't bring it home..."

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't expect Taohong to be so open-minded, but was a little surprised and sad, and asked uneasily: "Do you love me?"

Taohong smiled and denied, "How is that possible? I, Taohong, will only love you for the rest of my life."

Hearing Taohong's words, Jiang Xiaofeng was also moved and took advantage of the situation to hug Taohong into his arms.

On June 28, tens of thousands of Chinese students, scholars and overseas Chinese from all over the United States held a grand parade and rally in Washington, the capital of the United States, to celebrate the return of Hong Kong to the motherland.

Also on this day, the Tokyo Overseas Chinese Association of Japan held a reception to celebrate the return of Xiangjiang to the motherland. More than 200 overseas Chinese, Taiwan compatriots and representatives of Chinese institutions in Japan attended.

On June 30, Chinese, overseas Chinese and Mexican friends living in Mexico held a grand event in Mexico City's Chinatown to celebrate Hong Kong's return to the motherland. Members of Mexico's "Huafu Lion Dance Troupe" also performed a special dragon dance performance.

Thousands of Chinese and overseas Chinese from all over the UK gathered at the London Indoor Arena to watch the live television broadcast of the handover ceremony of Hong Kong's power.

…

All in all, Chinese people all over China, and even Chinese people all over the world, are celebrating the return of Xiangjiang in various ways around the world.

June 30, evening.

The Hong Kong Return Gala was held at the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong, with a star-studded cast and an unprecedentedly powerful lineup.

Among them, the eight superstars Alan Tam, Lin Zixiang, Ye Sianwen, Andy Lau, Zhang Xueyou, Li Ming, Guo Fucheng and Wang Fei sang on the same stage for the first time.

They sang several songs together on stage. This group can be said to be star-studded, and it will be difficult to surpass it in the future.

When the melody of "Tomorrow Will Be Better" sounded, Ye Qianwen awakened everyone's "sleeping hearts" with a penetrating voice, while Wang Fei spoke ethereally: "Youth cannot understand the style, which blows the hearts of young people.

"

At this time, there were two young women over 1.7 meters tall on the stage. One was wearing a light green Chinese top, elegant and refined; the other was wearing an innovative white cheongsam, confident and unrestrained.

Immediately afterwards, 36-year-old Liu Dehua, dressed in flowing white clothes, stood tall and tall in the middle of the drum troupe and sang quite powerfully, "Same blood, same seed, there are still dreams for the future, let's open up together."

Before he came on the stage, the drum troupe, which had been performing on the field for several minutes, was composed of the gong and drum troupe from Wangshen Village, Linyi County, Shanxi Province, and the flower and drum troupe from Hejin. They were all farmers and it was their first time.

When I came to Xiangjiang, there were boys and girls on the team.

On this day, they from the rural areas of Shanxi also witnessed the return of Hong Kong in Xiangjiang and sang "Chinese" with Andy Lau. At this year, they are also at an age where they are full of ambition.

Anita Mui, known as the "daughter of Hong Kong", also enjoyed being on stage and sang four classic songs in a row - "Weaving Beauty in the Clouds", "Summer Lovers", "This Is It" and "Dance of the Fire Phoenix".

Four songs, four styles, she quickly but comfortably changed clothes on the stage, wandering in the music, and the audience's thoughts followed her expression, her posture, and her voice floated.

…

Many first-line celebrity artists in Hong Kong attended the performance of the gala, and there were also many behind-the-scenes staff who participated in the song creation and stage performances.

In addition, at the Xiangjiang Return Literary Gala held by CCTV in Yanjing, Jiang Xiaofeng, Leslie Cheung, Gong Li, Na Ying, Liu Huan, etc. sang a song "Reunion" at the Workers' Gymnasium. This star lineup was equally strong.

After Gong Li sang "A century of running for today's reunion" with a rich voice, Jiang Xiaofeng sang to the camera affectionately with a low volume: "Mother wishes the Oriental Pearl, tomorrow will be more beautiful."

At this time, there was a "little singer" on the stage who not many people knew, but he was on the same stage as these big stars.

She was originally just a demo singer who was responsible for sending demos to Na Young, but she was unexpectedly chosen by the director to be on stage, and was also invited to practice singing together by the "big stars" she admired very much. She was Tan Jing.

Jiang Xiaofeng also remembered Tan Jing's name that night, extended an olive branch to her in the backstage lounge, and sent her an invitation to sign a contract.

At this time, Tan Jing was still a student at the Huaguo Conservatory of Music, where she majored in ethnic vocal music. However, she also knew the pop music scene very well, especially Jiang Xiaofeng, the king of singing in mainland China, whom she had admired for a long time.

, but because happiness came so suddenly, there was no way to give Jiang Xiaofeng an answer for a while.

In addition to Tan Jing, Jiang Xiaofeng also met the movie queen Gong Li on this night. Jiang Xiaofeng had to admit that Gong Li did have a charm and allure that other female stars did not have.

When being interviewed by reporters at the backstage of the party, Jiang Xiaofeng said excitedly: "I am very happy and proud to be able to participate in our CCTV party celebrating the return of Hong Kong."

Leslie Cheung also proudly said: "The song "Reunion" is very majestic. As a Chinese, it is an honor to participate in the celebration of the return. I feel very happy and I will go all out."
