1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 53 On the eve of the expedition to Xiangjiang, I won the prize and was soft-hearted!

December 3rd.

Combining indicators such as record sales, song popularity, and exposure of singers from across the Taiwan Strait and three places, "Contemporary Music" released a list of valuable winners in the Chinese music industry in the latest issue of the magazine.

The first is the top ten oriental singers in the contemporary music scene in 1994, divided into two lists: mainland China and Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The ten award-winning singers from mainland China (in no particular order): Liu Huan, Li Chunbo, Mao Ning, Na Ying, Mao Amin, Yang Yuying, Xie Xiaodong, Dong Wenhua...

The ten award-winning singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan (in no particular order): Jacky Cheung, Karen Yeh, Andy Lau, Wang Fei, Lin Yilian, Lai Ming, Stephen Chow, Mo Qixian, Tong Ange, Alan Tam

Then there are the top ten oriental singers in the contemporary music scene in 1994.

The ten award-winning singers from mainland China (in no particular order): Gao Linsheng, Lin Yilun, Huang Gexuan, Lao Lang, Jiang Xiaofeng, Pan Jingdong, Gan Ping, Xie Dong, Luo Qi, Zheng Jun

The ten award-winning singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan (in no particular order): Jimmy Lin, Su Youpeng, Wu Qilong, Tai Zhengxiao, Sun Yaowei, Zhang Xinzhe, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Li Ruien, Peng Ling, Su Huilun

The supreme singer in the contemporary music scene in 1994: Mao Ning

The supreme queen of contemporary music in 1994: Na Young

1994 Contemporary Music Circle Supreme Golden Melody Award: "You at the Same Desk"

1994 Contemporary Music Award for Best Original Song: "You at the Same Desk"

1994 Best Lyricist Award:

Gold Award: Gao Xiaosong for "My Deskmate"

Silver Award: "Those Flowers" Jiang Xiaofeng

Bronze Award: "Lovebirds" Lin Yilun

…

In this list, Jiang Xiaofeng won a total of three awards, namely the Top Ten Oriental Singer of the Year, the Silver Award for Best Lyricist of the Year, and the Silver Award for Best Newcomer of the Year.

After repeated communication and exchanges, Jiang Xiaofeng, Chen Jiantian, and Zhang Peiren finally reached an agreement, and signed the distribution rights of the album "Jiang Xiaofeng" with them respectively in Hong Kong and Taiwan Province.

The landy in Chen Jiantian's mouth is Zhang Peiren sitting next to him.

Therefore, Chen Jiantian and Zhang Peiren came to Houzhai Hutong to meet Jiang Xiaofeng this time to discuss cooperation matters.

In comparison, the Music Awards in Xiangjiang and the Music Awards in Taiwan Province are much smaller and more authoritative. They are not like the pheasant awards in mainland China, which are divided into different categories of pork, which cannot form authority and fairness.

This is also the reason why mainland music awards ceremonies have never been comparable to Hong Kong and Taiwan music awards ceremonies.

However, because Jiang Xiaofeng was preparing to perform at the Hong Kong Coliseum in the middle of this month, he often rehearsed with Dou Wei, Zhang Chu, He Yong, Tang Dynasty Band, and Overload Band, so he had no time to go out of town to receive those Pheasant Awards.

December 7, morning.

Lao Lang became the big winner on this list. Not only was he selected into the top ten Eastern singers, he also won five awards including the Golden Award for Best Newcomer of the Year.

Two guests came to Jiang Xiaofeng's courtyard.

In addition, there are various local music awards, such as the Yanjing Award, the Shanghai Award, the Guangfu Province Award, as well as the TV Station Award and the Radio Station Award. Jiang Xiaofeng knew for the first time that the original Huaguo Mainland

There are so many music awards, at least twenty or thirty categories. If Jiang Xiaofeng goes to receive the award, it can really be said that he will be weak in winning the award.

Chen Jiantian is a native of Xiangjiang and has two identities. In addition to being the founder of Red Star Music Production Company, he is also the founder of Xiangjiang Jinshi Entertainment Record Company.

In the 1980s in Hong Kong, Chen Jiantian was a talent scout-level boss, and he was the first to discover BEYOND, the Black Panther band...

Chen Jiantian said calmly: "It's hard to say. The quality of the work is definitely no problem. Now it's mainly a matter of publicity. If our company has to use its own money to promote this record, it may be a bit risky."

Jiang Xiaofeng asked curiously: "Mr. Chen..."

"This time you are going to hold a concert in Xiangjiang. Then you can cooperate with Landy and find an opportunity to promote your record and see if you can use this to open up the Xiangjiang market..."

Chen Jiantian said: "Don't call me Mr. Chen, just call me Leslie!"

In addition to the awards reviewed by Hal Bing's "Contemporary Music World" magazine, the magazine "Audio and Video World" sponsored by Huaguo Records also released a series of award lists. There are more than ten domestic magazines alone.

The song "My Deskmate" became so popular that the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program team took the initiative to call and invite Lao Lang to prepare to participate in the 1995 CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

Moreover, the cost of these trophies is very cheap. They are all made of broken iron sheets or aluminum sheets, without any gold content. These trophies are a bit small for use as a urinal, but a bit big for use as an ashtray. Jiang Xiaofeng really doesn't like them.

By the way, two mainland singers, Zheng Jun and Tian Zhen, are signed singers from Red Star Music Production Company.

You know, the song "My Deskmate" is so popular. If the most popular song in the first half of 1994 was "The Sound of the Waves Are Still" by Mao Ning, then the most popular song in the second half of 1994 was "Lao Lang"

Your deskmate".

Among them, the "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs" and the "Top Ten Golden Songs", the so-called "Top Ten", have a long history and particularly huge influence, fully witnessing the glory of the Hong Kong Philharmonic's golden age.

Many awards are frequently renamed or even discontinued due to changes in organizers or title sponsors, making it impossible to sustainably spread and consolidate their popularity in the long term.

In addition to Jinshi Entertainment Records in Hong Kong, Zhang Peiren has also communicated with Rolling Stone headquarters to prepare to release the "Jiang Xiaofeng" record in Taiwan next year.

Because Chen Jiantian and Zhang Peiren are colleagues at Rolling Stone Records and have known each other for many years, they both admire Jiang Xiaofeng's music very much. They believe that the rock songs composed by Jiang Xiaofeng are not as high-brow as Dou Wei and are more suitable for popularity in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Sing.

In the eyes of these two music businessmen, Jiang Xiaofeng's music may not be the best among the Four Magic Rock Masters, but it is definitely the most popular.

One is Zhang Peiren of Moyan Culture Records, and the other is Chen Jiantian, the founder of Red Star Music Production Company.

Chen Jiantian and Zhang Peiren coincided with each other this time. They both wanted to take advantage of the "Magic Rock Four" to hold a concert at the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong and release Jiang Xiaofeng's album of the same name - "Jiang Xiaofeng" to see if they could get it in Hong Kong.

repercussions.

The main award ceremony in the Taiwanese music scene is the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards, which is known as the most authoritative and valuable awards ceremony in the Chinese music scene.

Facing the old wolf who was at the peak of his career, Jiang Xiaofeng could only lose with all his heart and no temper at all.

After a few pleasantries, Chen Jiantian said bluntly: "Xiao Jiang, let me help you distribute your record "Jiang Xiaofeng" in Hong Kong, and I will give you 20% of the record share!"

It is worth mentioning that all the company names under Rolling Stone Records are related to "stone". For example, Magic Stone is actually "Magic Stone", and Xiangjiang Jinshi, which previously signed the Black Panther band, has the parent company Rolling Stone in Taiwan.

record.

Jiang Xiaofeng changed his words and said: "Okay Leslie, do you think there is a market for my Mandarin album in Hong Kong?"

Although Zhang Peiren and Chen Jiantian came to Yanjing to seize the mainland's rock music market, they both believed that Jiang Xiaofeng's works were not only suitable for distribution in mainland China, but also in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In addition to Magic Rock Records in mainland China and Jinshi Records in Hong Kong, Rolling Stone Records also has subsidiaries in Korea, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and other areas with large Chinese populations.

There are four main award ceremonies in the Hong Kong music scene: one is the "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Award Ceremony" organized by Xiangjiang Radio, the other is the "Top Ten Golden Songs Award Ceremony" organized by Xiangjiang TVB, and the other is the "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Award Ceremony" organized by Xiangjiang Commercial Radio.

"The Most Popular Music Chart Award Ceremony", and the last one is the "Metro Hottest Awards Ceremony" organized by Xiangjiang Metro Radio.

In other words, after signing these two contracts, Jiang Xiaofeng's album "Jiang Xiaofeng" will be released by Jinshi Entertainment Records in Hong Kong and by Rolling Stone Records in Taiwan.

However, so far, Jiang Xiaofeng is still a newcomer in Xiangjiang and has no reputation at all. Chen Jiantian did not dare to take too many risks and only asked the company to prepare 10,000 tapes to test the waters in Xiangjiang.

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't think too much about it. Anyway, he had decided to go to Hong Kong to develop in the next year. Now, releasing a record first might also help him build a reputation in Hong Kong.
