1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 40 "My Deskmate" became a hit, and "Campus Ballad 1" became a hit!

In the summer of 1994, more than 600,000 college students across the country bid farewell to campus and went to work.

In order to send them off, the National Education Commission and CCTV jointly organized a "College Student Night" graduation party, which was broadcast on CCTV 2 on June 24.

The host was Yang Lan, who was at her peak. The "Zhengda Variety Show" she hosted at that time was the program with the highest ratings in the country.

Yang Lan had just graduated from college four years ago. She recalled her good days in college, from the "sleep talk" in the dormitory to the unforgettable fish-flavored shredded pork rice in the dining hall, as friendly as the senior sister of her classmates;

Another host next to him, Cheng Qianqian, was filled with emotion because he, who was born in a drama troupe, "didn't catch the right time to go to college" and was particularly envious when he saw so many college students in the audience.

You know, universities have not yet expanded their enrollment this year, and there are only 600,000 university graduates nationwide, less than one-fifth of what they are now. College students are still a scarce resource and are the pride of heaven.

This party was unprecedented, as it was completely choreographed and performed by college students, and every program was full of youthful vitality.

For example, the "Cheerleading" dance performed by Yanjing Institute of Physical Education was performed by the Black Duck Singing Group.

Black Duck is a singing group composed of graduates from the Central Conservatory of Music. It is also one of the earliest harmony groups in China. However, before they only sang behind the scenes, it was not until the album was released in 1994 that they officially came to the front.

The singing group "Dream Grassland" from Tsinghua University also appeared on the stage and sang a song "Growth". The creator of this song is Lu Gengxu.

As the song "My Deskmate" became popular, the album "Campus Ballad 1" also sold more than 100,000 copies in just a few days, and sales are still continuing.

Compared with Lao Lang, who has gained both fame and fortune, Jiang Xiaofeng's situation is a bit bleak. He only gained fame but no benefits, not even a single performance.

After the college graduation party in 1994 was broadcast, Gao Xiaosong turned on the TV at home and saw the melancholy profile of the old wolf; when he drove to listen to the radio, he heard the warm voice of the old wolf; even when he went to the public toilet, the big brother next to him mouthed

It keeps humming: Who marries you who is sentimental, who comforts you who loves to cry...

Although Lao Lang's "My Deskmate" and "Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk" are also very popular, their audience is mainly young people, while Mao Amin's works are all songs that are familiar to men, women and children.

All in all, after Lao Lang attended the college graduation party, the song "My Deskmate" became completely popular.

Interestingly, this program predicted his future career direction in advance.

"Tomorrow will you remember

There was no gorgeous stage performance. A young man with a middle parted hair, red lips, red cheeks, and a white shirt slowly rose up from a lifting platform with the applause of the students, and then sang a song while holding a guitar.

.

To put it bluntly, Jiang Xiaofeng also became famous with the song "Those Flowers" and successfully became famous.

When some viewers watched the replay on TV the next day, they began to copy the lyrics to the TV. Many people also went to the direct video store and asked for the song "My Deskmate".

I also look through photos accidentally

I just remembered you at the same table

This led to the scarab beetle and the caterpillar, a golden combination in childhood memories.

Fortunately, Dadi Records had already been busy printing 50,000 more records before Lao Lang appeared at the CCTV University Graduation Party to prepare for emergencies.

Will you still miss me tomorrow?

You used to cry the most

The teachers have forgotten

You who can’t guess the problem

As for the song "The Wandering Singer's Lover" sung by Lao Lang, it wasn't as catchy as the two songs "My Deskmate" and "Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk", so it didn't arouse much response.

How popular is the song "My Deskmate"? In Gao Xiaosong's words, "My Deskmate" almost made me vomit.

Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just talk about his works. Mao Amin currently has one song “Missing”, one “Longing”, and one “Mom in Candlelight”, all of which are well-known hit songs.

The diary you wrote yesterday

In particular, the song "Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk" sung by Lao Lang quickly became popular because of Gao Xiaosong's innocent lyrics and Lao Lang's deep and vicissitudes of singing.

At this graduation party, He Jiong performed a self-written and directed sketch "Penetration", playing the host of a campus radio station. During the interview with a campus female poet, he used every opportunity to insert the sponsor Happy Insole

The advertisement made the audience burst into laughter.

After all, Lao Lang has just become famous and is a newcomer. He is not yet a big name. He usually pays 5,000 yuan for one song and 10,000 yuan for two songs, such as "You at the Same Table" and "Brother Sleeping in My Upper Bunk"

"These two songs.

Singer: Wang Yang"

At this time, He Jiong was still a sophomore student at Yanjing University of Foreign Studies. His contact lens fell off before he went on stage and he couldn't see the audience clearly so he let go of the performance.

…”

But after Lao Lang appeared on CCTV's graduation party for college students, his face immediately made people remember him, and he became a famous singer that everyone knew. Dadi Records also took advantage of the situation and signed a contract with him, and began to help him receive commercial performances in Beijing, Shanghai and other places.

In terms of popularity, influence, and status, Mao Amin can definitely crush Lao Lang.

Huang Xiaomao, the producer of "Campus Ballad 1", also watched the TV replay and was moved again. The youthful feeling of Lao Lang on the stage and the impact of the song deeply touched his heart.

The popularity of the tape "Campus Ballads 1" has also caused the other songs in this record to receive a lot of publicity.

At the same time, a few lines of big words were printed on the screen:

After Lu Gengxu and his classmates finished recording the program, the director of CCTV said to him: "Go back and wait to receive the love letter." Lu Gengxu excitedly left his mailbox, but after returning, he did not receive even a letter, let alone a love letter.

.

You know, the "eldest sister" in the current music scene, Mao Amin, only has an appearance fee of about 40,000 yuan for a performance. She usually sings two songs, and each song is about 20,000 yuan.

Because of the popularity of the song "My Deskmate", the album "Campus Folk Song 1" was also sold out. In the previous three months, it sold less than 30,000 copies, but now it has sold more than 20,000 copies in one day.

, there is no inventory at all.

Arranger: Zhang Weining

Unexpectedly, the performance was a blockbuster. Liu Chunyan in the audience thought he was very funny and invited him to join CCTV's children's program "Windmill" as a co-host.

Who read your diary?

Lyrics and music: Gao Xiaosong

Wang Yang is Lao Lang. Many college students in front of the TV felt like they were being hit in their hearts when Lao Lang sang "Will You Remember Tomorrow".

Gao Xiaosong is also suffering from the same distress as Jiang Xiaofeng, because the album "Campus Ballad 1" does not have their photos printed at all. Of course, neither Lao Lang nor any singer.

At this time, people listening to the song could not have imagined that the person in front of them and this song would arouse the nostalgia for the beautiful youth in their hearts countless times when they gradually enter middle age many years later.

Who married you who is sentimental?

Who tied up your long hair?

Who made your wedding dress?

As soon as He Jiong's skit ended, a ray of light suddenly hit the audience.

As a result, these 50,000 records were sold out by fans in several major cities across the country in less than two days.

In addition to the two songs "My Deskmate" and "Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk", the most popular song in the album "Campus Ballads 1" is "Those Flowers" sung by Jiang Xiaofeng

This song.

""My Deskmate"

Although the song "Those Flowers" became popular, Jiang Xiaofeng was only famous. When walking on the street, no one recognized him. He felt as if he was famous, but also as if he was not.

One thing to say, Lao Lang's appearance fee was already quite good in the mainland music scene in 1994.

The reason why Jiang Xiaofeng did not perform was partly because the singer was not popular, and another important reason was that Jiang Xiaofeng did not sign a contract with Dadi Records or a brokerage company.

Jiang Xiaofeng has been recording his new album during this period, with no other income at all, and his savings are almost exhausted.

Fortunately, the album "Campus Folk Songs 1" sold well. Huang Xiaomao also told Jiang Xiaofeng that as one of the singers on this album, he also sang the two songs "Those Flowers" and "Drum Tower", so he could at least get

A royalty of several thousand dollars.

ps. I obviously update twice a day, why do everyone say my updates are slow...
