1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 52 Winter comes, Yanjing’s rock music ambitions!

Late November.

The three-month agency contract between Jiang Xiaofeng and Wang Jinghua has officially ended.

There is no doubt that this cooperation between Jiang Xiaofeng and Wang Jinghua is definitely a win-win situation, and both parties have obtained the benefits they want.

However, Wang Jinghua is very optimistic about Jiang Xiaofeng's potential and does not want to miss out on Jiang Xiaofeng's cash cow and wants to renew a long-term contract with him.

Jiang Xiaofeng directly refused, and told Wang Jinghua her thoughts in person: "Sister Hua, thank you for your care and support these three months. I really appreciate it, but I'm sorry, I plan to go to Xiangjiang next year for development!"

"But don't worry, I will come back again. When the time comes, as long as you don't dislike it, I will seek cooperation with you again."

Wang Jinghua looked at Jiang Xiaofeng in disbelief: "Xiao Feng, are you too impulsive in your choice? Now that you have finally become famous in our mainland, what are you doing on other people's territory?"

"Don't you know that if you go to Xiangjiang, it means that all your achievements will be reset to zero and everything will have to start again?"

Jiang Xiaofeng nodded and said solemnly: "Sister Hua, I know everything you said, but I must go to Xiangjiang!"

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng's eyes firm and without any hesitation, Wang Jinghua asked in confusion: "Why? Can you tell me the reason?"

Jiang Xiaofeng sighed sadly: "Oh, what a pity..."

Therefore, Jiang Xiaofeng is not idle. He spends seven or eight hours every day rehearsing with the Overload Band. He also learns playing skills from Liu Yijun, the fifth member of the Tang Dynasty Band, who is also known as the "No. 1 Guitarist in China"

.

After hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's answer, Wang Jinghua couldn't help but burst into laughter. She felt that Jiang Xiaofeng's idea was too naive, that she was overconfident and had no idea how much she weighed.

As the weather got colder and colder, Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't stand the cold anymore and had no choice but to burn coal in the house to keep warm.

Lao Wu's guitar skills are not impressive. Before his debut, he was accepted by the highest music organization in Yanjing and was considered a "lightning-speed guitarist". He was also the first in China to master the guitar keyboard from behind the neck.

people.

If Jiang Xiaofeng really can't survive in Xiangjiang anymore, he can come back at any time, and he doesn't have to worry about sleeping rough there.

for example……

What He Yong said is not wrong.

Mainland China’s price is US$472, ranking 130th in the world, behind Mongolia, Bhutan, and Gambia.

Although Wang Jinghua and Jiang Xiaofeng did not agree on their cooperation, they did not turn into enemies because of it. She also concluded in her heart that it would not be long before Jiang Xiaofeng gave up and came back from Xiangjiang in despair.

Taking into account the Tianjing show, in the short term, Zhang Peiren no longer wants to do any more auditions, and plans to take everyone back to Yanjing to rehearse honestly and make the final effort for the Xiangjiang concert next month.

However, as the old saying goes, business cannot be done without righteousness.

Therefore, only 523 of the 1,000 tickets for this small concert were sold. Faced with such a dismal loss, Zhang Peiren felt very powerless and helpless.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng only had more than 100,000 in bank deposits after buying the courtyard house, prices were not particularly high in Xiangjiang in 1995. With this money, Jiang Xiaofeng could stay there for a few months, and his survival should not be too difficult.

Big problem.

Siheyuan is located near the water. It is actually a building that is warm in winter and cool in summer. However, since Yanjing is really cold in winter, there must be no heating in the courtyard.

In 1994, Xiangjiang's per capita GDP was US$22,000, ranking 15th in the world.

In fact, when we hold a concert in Hong Kong, not only Zhang Peiren is under a lot of pressure, but everyone is holding back their breath and want to prove ourselves and the strength of our Yanjing rock music in front of the Hong Kong audience at the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong.

All in all, Jiang Xiaofeng's idea of ​​​​going to Xiangjiang was not just a day or two. This was a plan he had before going down the mountain.

In Wang Jinghua's view, the music scene in Hong Kong and Taiwan is not easy to mess with. The more prosperous a place is, the more devastated it is behind it.

Although Zhang Peiren is from Taiwan, he is indeed one of the important promoters of Chinese rock. No one hopes more than him that Chinese rock, headed by the "Four Elites of Magic Rock", can succeed.

Jiang Xiaofeng said seriously: "Originally, I wanted to tell you, but unfortunately I never had the chance. Now the weather is so cold and snowing, so I can only wait until spring next year."

Since there was not much publicity before the performance and it was a concert that required money to buy tickets, not many people came to watch the performance live.

Moreover, even if Jiang Xiaofeng goes to Xiangjiang, it does not mean that he will no longer release Mandarin records. He will still focus on Mandarin records. After all, there are still a small number of people who listen to Cantonese songs.

Although Zhang Peiren knew before the event was held that he would definitely lose money.

Jiang Xiaofeng hugged Taohong with both hands and replied with a smile: "I'm looking at those trees."

In fact, there are many reasons why Jiang Xiaofeng chose to go to Xiangjiang for development, and it was not an impulse.

Under the leadership of Zhang Peiren, the Magic Rock Four and the Tang Dynasty Band held a small concert in Tianjing by selling tickets as a final trial for the upcoming concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum.

early morning.

Taohong asked in confusion: "The leaves of these four trees are gone, what else is there to see?"

Knowing that Jiang Xiaofeng had made up her mind, Wang Jinghua just sighed helplessly and said nothing more.

For example, Jiang Xiaofeng wants to represent the mainland music scene and compete with the four kings of Hong Kong.

Jiang Xiaofeng thought for a while and said: "Sister Hua, I want to go to Hong Kong to try my luck while I'm young. Wang Fei and Naying can succeed in Hong Kong and Taiwan. I think I can do it too. I have confidence in myself."

Jiang Xiaofeng stood in the house, looking through the glass window of the main room at the four trees in the yard. Only the bare branches were left, covered with ice and snow.

Zhang Peiren also hopes that next month's concert in Hung Hom, Hong Kong, will be a success and "export to domestic sales" will be achieved, indirectly promoting the mainland's rock market.

Starting from the beginning of late November, cold weather has enveloped the entire Yanjing.

Feather-like snow flakes and a white coat quietly wrapped the entire Yanjing.

November 24th.

"What's the pity?"

For example, Jiang Xiaofeng hopes that he can succeed in Hong Kong and occupy a place in the music scene of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Because they had already auditioned three times in Changchun, Changsha, and Nanjin, and found that except for Nanjin, which was okay, the remaining two were particularly dismal.

Guitarist Deng Acura, like Jiang Xiaofeng, is both 19 years old. He Yong often told him that the media and audience in Xiangjiang looked down upon us, which made Deng Acura practice hard every day for fear of embarrassing the Yanjing band.

At this time, Taohong walked up to Jiang Xiaofeng and asked Jiang Xiaofeng to hug her from behind. Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng looking out the window, she asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"

If it were free, the audience would be at least twice as large, and at least those who like to join in the fun would definitely not miss it. However, ticketed performances make many people feel that it is not worth it. They feel that they would rather go home and listen to tapes or watch TV.

Both of them are recognized by experts as the two great guitar masters in the North and the South, and their superb skills are a bit like "a dragon that sees the beginning but not the end".

This is one of the reasons why Jiang Xiaofeng is determined to develop Hong Kong. He just wants the audience in Hong Kong to know that mainland singers can also dominate the Hong Kong music scene like the Four Heavenly Kings.

When many people in Xiangjiang mention the mainland, they will say three words disdainfully: cousin, Acan, and Beigu.

In the early morning of December 1st, it started to snow in Yanjing.

In the late 1980s, Lao Wu's name was already very famous in the domestic music circle. There was a saying at that time that can prove it: "There is Lao Wu in the north, and there is Lao Zai in the south."

Although Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't learn Lao Wu's difficult techniques, his guitar skills also improved by leaps and bounds after receiving guidance from guitar masters such as Lao Wu and Li Yanliang.

For example, Jiang Xiaofeng wanted to meet and communicate with Zhou Huimin.

After joking for a while, Jiang Xiaofeng asked Taohong: "It's so cold today, do you want to exercise and stretch your muscles? Maybe it will warm you up."

Although Jiang Xiaofeng didn't say it explicitly, Taohong already knew what Jiang Xiaofeng was thinking. She curled her lips and said coyly: "No, it's snowing outside, and you're not afraid of freezing me."

Jiang Xiaofeng hurriedly persuaded: "No, I will do it quickly."

"Liar, I don't believe you anymore. Every time you say it will be fast, but every time..."
