1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 54: Go to Xiangjiang, the Chinese rock music force!

In fact, even if Jiang Xiaofeng has been in the mainland and has not yet developed in Hong Kong and Taiwan, he has already been noticed by some Hong Kong and Taiwan record companies.

The reason why Jiang Xiaofeng's album "Jiang Xiaofeng" was released in Taiwan was not only due to Zhang Peiren's strong recommendation, but also because of the appreciation of his creative talent by Rolling Stone gold medal producer Li Zongsheng.

Even Queen Wang Fei once inadvertently mentioned to her manager Chen Jiaying that there was a young man in Yanjing who wrote amazing songs, and his name was Jiang Xiaofeng.

On December 10, Jiang Xiaofeng's first album of the same name, "Jiang Xiaofeng", was officially released in Hong Kong.

Since there was no publicity and it was still a Mandarin song, the tape record "Jiang Xiaofeng" did not attract much attention after it was released in Xiangjiang.

Fortunately, Chen Jiantian has a good relationship with Xiangjiang's commercial radio station "Music Open Sky". Jiang Xiaofeng's "Blue Lotus", "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and other songs have also been given opportunities to be promoted by the radio station, and some local people have begun to listen to them.

The audience heard the singing voice of this young man from mainland China.

December 11th, night.

Zhang Peiren summoned the Four Heroes of Magic Rock and the Tang Dynasty Band and held an internal meeting in the hotel room where he stayed.

According to common sense, this time we go to Hong Kong Hung Hom Stadium for a concert. For such a big event, there must be a press conference.

It turns out that as early as two years ago, when Dou Wei left the Black Panthers, the Black Panthers' manager Guo Si made a condition to him: "Don't sing Black Panther songs in the future. If you do, our side will definitely be doomed."

In Jiang Xiaofeng's opinion, Dou Wei has a cold and unsympathetic face, a very cold temperament, doesn't speak much, but is full of love for music.

It is worth mentioning that ten years ago, in May 1983, the Heung Kong Sports Center located in Hung Hom Bay, a land reclamation area, was completed.

The night before He Yong left Yanjing for Hong Kong, he half-jokingly told his friend on the phone: "I'm leaving tomorrow, and I may not be able to come back."

In fact, at this time, as singers and musicians, they themselves had no idea, because no one had performed outside the mainland, and it was in a very serious stadium.

Zhang Peiren felt that it was not interesting, so he might as well not answer, so he simply cut out Jiang Xiaofeng's answer and treated him as if he, like Dou Wei, refused to comment.

David Bowie and Teresa Teng also appeared on the Hung Hom stage in 1983, making Hung Hom a holy land for superstars and synonymous with commercial value.

However, even so, the answers given by He Yong, Zhang Chu and several other rock musicians were still made into video tapes by Zhang Peiren, and were prepared to be released in public during a press conference in Hong Kong.

They are preparing to go to Hong Kong to do a big thing - the first mainland rock concert in history at the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong.

Seeing other people making harsh remarks in front of the camera, Jiang Xiaofeng and Dou Wei had nothing to do, so they went outside to smoke.

Speaking of which, the two have known each other for more than a year. The relationship between Jiang Xiaofeng and Dou Wei has always been neither far nor close. It cannot be said to be good or bad.

He Yong didn't pretend to be cool and told his friends directly that he said some cruel words and was worried that after he went to Xiangjiang, the fans of the "Four Heavenly Kings" there would cause trouble for him.

Seeing that the Hong Kong media paid so little attention to this concert and reported it a bit rudely, this situation made Zhang Peiren very anxious.

Although He Yong was very talkative, he was actually quite nervous. He felt that he just wanted to conquer a new place.

Everyone answered the question except Dou Wei who refused to answer.

Except for the "Four Heroes of Magic Rock" who had short shaved hair, several men had long hair in braids, which was very eye-catching.

Beyond was the first band to hold a concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum, and TVB's self-produced large-scale variety show "Miss Hong Kong Pageant" was also held here.

Although the style of each song in Dou Wei's album "Black Dream" is very high-end and unique, it is not suitable for dissemination and popularity because it is not popular enough, and it is naturally difficult for the audience to resonate with it.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Xiaofeng lit a cigarette and asked Dou Wei, "Brother Dou, are you really not going to sing old songs when you go to Xiangjiang this time?"

The reaction of the other three was okay, but He Yong was very angry when he found out. He practiced the piano with Deng Acura as if he had been given a shot of blood all day long.

Nine days later, it held its first concert. Xu Guanjie was the first singer to hold a concert at the Heung Kong Stadium.

One of the questions was: "Do you know the Four Heavenly Kings and what do you think of them?"

For this reason, some time ago, Zhang Peiren told the four heroes of Magic Rock about the unkind reports from the Hong Kong media from time to time.

Although the Hung Hom Stadium is named after a "gymnasium", only a few sports events are actually held here, but many singers often hold concerts here.

On the morning of December 13, 1994, a group of young people wearing leather jackets and jeans gathered at Yanjing Capital Airport.

Dou Wei agreed and did so. After leaving Black Panther, he never sang a Black Panther song again.

He Yong also said to the other three members of the "Magic Rock Four": "We must be prepared to hold the first concert and the last concert."

Dou Wei blew out a smoke ring and said helplessly: "Xiao Jiang, it's not that I don't want to sing, it's just that I can't sing. I have promised them that from the day I quit the Black Panther, I will never sing the old Black Panther songs again!

"

The reason why He Yong answered like this is not only that he has a relatively radical personality, but also because Zhang Peiren has been fanning the flames in front of him and said a lot of bad things about Xiangjiang and the media in Xiangjiang.

After learning the truth from Dou Wei's mouth, Jiang Xiaofeng felt a little regretful.

If Dou Wei can sing these two classic rock songs "Shameless" and "Don't Break My Heart" at this concert, there will be an unexpected performance effect.

In 1989, Leslie Cheung held a farewell concert in Hung Hom and performed 33 consecutive shows. The ticket revenue was a conservative calculation of 100 million.

Because it has one of the best seats in Asia and is one of the few venues that can open a four-sided stage, most Hong Kong and Taiwan singers are proud to hold solo concerts in the stadium.

A friend asked him: "Why do you make it look like Jing Ke stabbed the King of Qin? What are so many of you afraid of?"

In fact, what Zhang Peiren said is correct. At this time, Xiangjiang did not think that mainland music had music, nor did they admit that mainland rock music existed. They thought that they were all copied from Xiangjiang. The reputation of the Four Magic Rock Masters was not that great, or even

Not famous at all.

"To be honest, if the two songs "Shameless" and "Don't Break My Heart" that you wrote when you were in the Black Panthers could be sung on the Hung Hom stage, the performance would definitely be amazing!"

Moreover, the Moyan Four and others are going to Xiangjiang this time. In a sense, they are using music to prove the development and progress of mainland pop music, and using music to defend the dignity of every mainlander who makes music. This cannot be allowed to happen.

They looked down upon it.

Compared with Jiang Xiaofeng and Dou Wei, the answers of several other rock singers were more exciting than the last, especially He Yong, who simply couldn't stop talking without surprising.

In Jiang Xiaofeng's view, if Dou Wei can sing this song, it doesn't matter if he makes the final appearance.

However, since the singers were unable to go to Hong Kong in time, Xiangjiang Commercial Radio could only fax the questions for the interviews with the musicians to the mainland, where the interviews would be made into video tapes, and then broadcast in Hong Kong.

Jiang Xiaofeng himself had no opinion on the Four Heavenly Kings and answered more objectively.

Thinking that he would be performing at the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong in two days, Jiang Xiaofeng felt excited and looking forward to it, but also a little uneasy.

Dou Wei chose not to answer, partly because of his personality and disdain for publicity, and partly because his girlfriend Wang Fei is also developing in Hong Kong.

However, in this era of limited information and no Internet, few people in Yanjing City actually know, and no one cares, where the Hung Hom Stadium is.

Only a handful of insiders know where the Four Magic Rock Masters and the Tang Dynasty Band are planning to go and what they are planning to do.

After everyone passed the security check, the plane took off from Yanjing Capital Airport and flew to Shenzhen in the south.
