Chapter 167 The annual income list is released, and the promotional trip to Taiwan caused a sensation!

With the gradual decline of the Hong Kong music scene and the rise of the Taiwanese music scene, the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards have become the largest and most influential music awards in the current Chinese music scene.

Prior to this, first-line female singers such as Tsai Chin, Jiang Hui, Chen Shuhua, Ye Qianwen, Qi Yu, etc., all won the Taiwan Golden Melody Award for Best Female Mandarin Singer.

And first-line singers such as Zhou Huajian, Zhang Xinzhe, Qi Qin, and Zhang Xue have also won the Taiwan Golden Melody Award for Best Mandarin Singer. Now the pressure is on Jiang Xiaofeng.

However, if Jiang Xiaofeng, who is known as the "King of Singers" in the Chinese music scene, has not even won the Taiwan Golden Melody Singer King, it would not only be Jiang Xiaofeng's personal regret, but also a dereliction of duty by the judges of the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards.

March 15, morning.

Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment media jointly released the "1998 Hong Kong and Taiwan Artists Income Ranking", which once again aroused heated discussion among people in and outside the industry.

In the list released this time, Jiang Xiaofeng became the runner-up in income among Hong Kong and Taiwan artists in 1998 with an income of 110 million yuan, second only to "international superstar" Cheng Long.

In the past year of 1998, Jackie Chan starred in the action blockbuster "Rush Hour", which grossed US$144 million at the box office and was featured in Time magazine, establishing his status as a Hollywood action star.

In this year, Cheng Long officially transformed from a Hong Kong superstar to a global superstar, with countless auras and glory blessing him.

Also in this year, Cheng Long earned an astonishing income of 280 million yuan from the remuneration of many movies and brand endorsement fees.

Most of Jiang Xiaofeng's income mainly comes from appearance fees for more than 60 world tour concerts in the first half of the year, as well as endorsement fees from Pepsi and other brands.

In the past year of 1998, Chow Yun-fat ranked third on the Hong Kong celebrity income list with an income of 93 million Hong Kong dollars, second only to Jackie Chan and Jiang Xiaofeng, surpassing Wang Fei, Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau, Guo Fucheng and other superstars.

1998 was also very important for Chow Yun-fat, because this year he also followed Jackie Chan and entered Hollywood.

Although the box office results of the two movies lined up in Hollywood were not very good, they at least proved that he has this influence.

Because of the influence of movies such as "God of Gamblers", "Across the World" and "Prison", Chow Yun-fat's popularity is still very high.

In the mid-1990s, there were photos of Chow Yun-fat when he went to Hainan to attend an event. The organizer even specially transported a 4-number Rolls-Royce from other places, just to set off Chow Yun-fat.

Queen Wang Fei, ranked fourth, once again became the most profitable female artist in Hong Kong and Taiwan with an annual income of 83.58 million yuan due to her concert tour.

Ranked fifth and sixth are Leslie Cheung and Tang Jili.

Aaron Kwok, ranked 7th, began to flourish in singing and acting, and entered his personal peak period. With an income of 59 million yuan, he became the money-grabbing king of the "Four Heavenly Kings" for the first time.

Ranked 8th and 9th are Michelle Yeoh and Andy Lau respectively. Both of them earned more than 50 million yuan in 1998.

As for the 10th place, it is tied with Zhou Xingchi and Jet Li, both of whom have an income of 32 million.

However, the "god of songs" Zhang Xueyou and the "King of Li" Li Ming, who did not hold a world tour, both fell out of the top 10 income rankings of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.

Although the "Hong Kong and Taiwan Artists Income Ranking" is not a professional ranking, the income of artists also represents the artist's worth and popularity.

Basically, those who make it into the top ten of this list are the most popular and valuable top artists in China at the moment.

On this day, Jiang Xiaofeng was in Ximending, Taiwan Province, promoting his 8th album, "Transcendence", and celebrating that the album's total sales exceeded 1 million, and its sales in Taiwan exceeded 300,000.

Because the sales of Jiang Xiaofeng's records in Taiwan Province have always been very good, and Jiang Xiaofeng's record sales data in Taiwan Province are second only to those in mainland China.

This time, every time Jiang Xiaofeng promotes Mandarin albums, he will come to Taiwan to interact with fans and friends in Taiwan.

The promotional event was crowded with thousands of loyal fans. Jiang Xiaofeng also sang songs such as "Dongfeng Po" and "Nunchaku" for fans and friends in Taiwan.

"A lamp of sorrow, standing alone at the window

I'm behind the door, pretending that you haven't left yet

It's like revisiting an old place, and the full moon makes me feel even more lonely

The candlelight that wakes me up in the middle of the night can’t bear to blame me harshly

…”

Although "East Wind Breaks" is a new song in the new album, as soon as Jiang Xiaofeng opened his mouth, it aroused a chorus of chorus from the fans at the scene.

Not long after singing "Dongfeng Po", Jiang Xiaofeng started to play with nunchucks and sang the song "Nunchucks", which caused bursts of screams and cheers from the fans at the scene.

"Use the nunchucks quickly, hehehehaxi

Use the nunchucks quickly, hehehehaxi

Those who practice martial arts must remember that the benevolent are invincible

Who is practicing Tai Chi and is prosperous?

…”

It is worth mentioning that with the popularity of "Nunchaku", the song "Nunchuck" composed and sung by Jiang Xiaofeng also made playing with nunchucks popular.

There was even an incident where a man fell in love with playing with nunchucks after singing "Nunchaku", got into a dispute with his neighbor over trivial matters, and injured others with his nunchakus.

After singing "Nunchaku", a powerful Chinese-style rap, Jiang Xiaofeng sang the last song of the event - "Darwin".

"There was competition, there were sacrifices

Love screening process

Learn to be serious, learn to be loyal

Only the fittest survive

To understand eternity, we must

Evolve into a better person

…”

Just like singing "East Wind Breaks", Jiang Xiaofeng's singing of "Darwin" once again aroused the chorus of the audience, which shows his popularity as the king of singers.

After the concert, Jiang Xiaofeng accepted an exclusive interview with the media at the scene.

The reporter asked: "Hello, Director Jiang, I saw you singing very well on stage today. Do you have any plans to hold a concert in the near future? Will you come to our Taibei? Our fans in Taibei are looking forward to it. Can you perform in the concert?"

Come to Taiwan for a concert."

Jiang Xiaofeng thought for a while and said: "First of all, thank you for your support. There should be a concert this year. I am not sure how many will be held, but if it is held, I will definitely come to Taibei."

The reporter asked: "Xu Huaiyu said two days ago that you are her ideal partner. Is it possible for you to have a spark of love when you have cooperated so many times?"

Jiang Xiaofeng really didn't know that Xu Huaiyu would say that. After thinking for a moment, he replied seriously: "I am Huaiyu's master. The relationship between us is a master and apprentice. Only the relationship between master and apprentice cannot create the spark of love."

"However, Huaiyu is indeed a very cute and very capable girl. I hope everyone can continue to support her, her music and records."

The reporter asked: "Director Jiang, we all know that you are the boss of Century Records and the first brother of Century Records. So, between the two female singers Xu Huaiyu and Tan Jing, who is the first sister of your company?"

The person who asked this question was a female reporter. Faced with the female reporter's digging questions, Jiang Xiaofeng did not answer the question head-on, but instead talked about him.

Jiang Xiaofeng said sternly: "I can only say that Tan Jing and Huaiyu are both singers with very personal characteristics. Their styles are also different. There is no distinction between their music and their music. There is only a difference in personal preferences."

The female reporter didn't hear the answer she wanted, so she joked: "If Tan Jing and Xu Huaiyu fall into the water at the same time, who will you save first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter.

Jiang Xiaofeng calmly said to the female reporter with a smile: "This question is too difficult. How about adding you and the three of you fall into the water at the same time?"

Jiang Xiaofeng's words not only caused a burst of laughter, but also attracted the interest of everyone present.

The female reporter also asked curiously: "If you add me, who would you choose to save first?"

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and replied: "Then I might save Huaiyu first, because Tan Jing is a good swimmer and her water skills are particularly good."

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter again.

Initially, everyone thought that Jiang Xiaofeng would choose to save the female reporter first, but the result was unexpected, and they were all amused by Jiang Xiaofeng's wit and humor.

The female reporter felt very embarrassed and asked reluctantly: "What about me? Don't you need to save me?"

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and replied: "Help, but I went to save Huaiyu, so I can only let Tan Jing save you."

Jiang Xiaofeng's answer not only allowed the female reporter to regain her face, but also made everyone admire Jiang Xiaofeng even more, praising him for his high emotional intelligence.

After finishing the promotion work of the album "Transcendence" in Taibei, Jiang Xiaofeng, Sister Kuan and others had a meal and set off back to Yanjing the next day.

On the way back, Liu Xiaoli's smile appeared in Jiang Xiaofeng's mind involuntarily...
