1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 56 The four heroes of Demonic Rock make a big fuss in Hung Hom!

The popularity of "I Believe" also boosted the sales of the album "Jiang Xiaofeng" to a certain extent.

In just five days, Jiang Xiaofeng's album "Jiang Xiaofeng" sold 3,200 copies in Hong Kong.

However, "Jiang Xiaofeng" is only a Mandarin album after all, and it is difficult to achieve wide-scale dissemination in cities where Cantonese is the main language.

Unless Jiang Xiaofeng can create a hit song that breaks through dialect barriers, it will be difficult for him to become popular in Hong Kong.

Of course, it is not easy for the Mandarin album "Jiang Xiaofeng" to sell more than 3,000 copies in Hong Kong.

This is also due to the promotion of Xiangjiang Commercial Radio, as well as Zhang Peiren's marketing and He Yong's conflict with the "Four Kings", which made some Hong Kong people have a critical attitude and become interested in Jiang Xiaofeng, one of the "Four Heroes of Magic Rock"

, and purchased his records.

Faced with He Yong's remarks, people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry had mixed reactions. Although Jacky Cheung "survived the disaster", he also came out to defend himself. Although the other kings tried their best to keep a calm attitude, they still could not conceal their aggrievements.

Some people accuse He Yong of never listening to their "music". Some people say that He Yong doesn't understand the music scene in Hong Kong at all. Some people think that there are differences between the two cultures of Mainland China and Hong Kong. Some people say that Andy Lau acted well in movies. Some people say that Aaron Kwok dances better than He Yong.

Stick wait.

However, no matter how the excuse was made, it always seemed a bit far-fetched and made people feel guilty, but there was nothing they could do about He Yong. He Yong said that he "just told the truth", which made people of all kinds in Hong Kong restless and come out to defend themselves.

Obviously, He Yong's words hit a sore spot in the Hong Kong music scene, and the Hong Kong entertainment industry's strong reaction to this incident was unexpected.

Due to the large number of people, after coming to Xiangjiang, the Magic Rock Four were divided into four groups, rehearsed in different places, and then unified to the Hung Hom Stadium to walk on stage. After walking on stage, everyone went to the rooftop to smoke together.

Maybe everyone was holding back their energy and wanted to prove something, so everyone rehearsed very seriously in the rehearsal room in Xiangjiang.

The rehearsal rooms are very small, very small and very crowded, because the homes in some places in Hong Kong may also be like this, very small and very expensive.

After coming to Xiangjiang, the so-called "shopping paradise", people spend a lot of time shopping after work. Some people buy leather jackets, and some people buy pianos.

Jiang Xiaofeng thought that after finally coming to Xiangjiang, it would be unreasonable if she didn't bring some gifts back to Tao Hong, so she bought a diamond necklace, lipstick and other cosmetics.

On the evening of December 17th, at eight o'clock.

The concert of "Rock Chinese Music Force" officially started at the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong.

That night, nearly 10,000 spectators flooded into the Hung Hom Stadium, and it could be said that the seats were packed.

Dou Wei was the first to appear. The curtain rose. He was wearing a black tunic suit. His face was expressionless and he looked cold and cold. When he opened his mouth, he shocked people:

"Contradiction, hypocrisy, greed, deceit

fantasy, doubt, simplicity, fickleness

So strong, helpless, lonely, fragile

Tolerant, angry, complicated, annoying

…”

The song "Advanced Animals" he sang had advanced lyrics, advanced singing skills, and was endlessly handsome. Many bands later covered this song, but it had no flavor and sounded awkward. They were all "copycats".

Dou Wei was the first to perform at the Hung Hom Stadium this time, mainly because of his popularity in Hong Kong. In addition, his girlfriend at the time, Wang Fei, was sitting in the first row of the audience, sitting next to Wang Fei.

It's her agent Chen Jiaying.

It is worth mentioning that in 1994 alone, Wang Fei released four albums, each of which became a hit. The movie "Chungking Express" she starred in was screened. She appeared on all the well-known variety shows in Hong Kong and won ten awards.

Dajinge Golden Melody Awards Ceremony Most Popular Female Singer Award.

After Dou Wei finished singing four songs, Zhang Chu was the second to sing. He was usually in the middle, because the opening of "The Four Heroes of Magic Rock" was always Dou Wei, the second was Zhang Chu, the third was He Yong, and finally

This is Jiang Xiaofeng's finale.

Unlike Dou Wei, Zhang Chu, who appeared second, was dressed casually and sang while sitting.

The first song "Sister" is his famous song.

“It won’t snow yet this winter

Standing on the road without blinking

My heartbeat is still gentle

You should praise me and say that I was very obedient today.

My clothes are a little too big

You said I look pretty

I know I feel stupid standing in the crowd...

It was this song that made Zhang Peiren burst into tears listening to it in the cold winter in Yanjing, and he made up his mind to make a compilation album of Chinese rock music.

It was later called "Hua Guo Huo 1", which was placed as the first song in the compilation album by the song "Sister".

Zhang Chu's second song at the Hung Hom Stadium was "Lonely People Are Shameful".

"It's the season of love

The air is filled with the smell of lovers

Lonely people are shameful

This is the season of love

Everyone should smile at each other

Just give me a hug and give me a hug. That's all.

i like flowers

There should be flowers in the city

Even if someone takes it off

Flowers should also grow

…”

Interestingly, Zhang Chu’s performance also broke a record in Hung Hom because no one stopped during the performance, but Zhang Chu did.

His guitarist's name is Cao Jun. Cao Jun plays guitar very well, but in mainland China, you don't have anywhere to buy such instruments as guitars, speakers, and basses, and everyone uses them in general.

When I came to Xiangjiang this time, there was Tongli Music Store opposite the Hung Hom Stadium. Cao Jun was very excited to buy a new Martin piano. He said that they would use this new piano during the performance.

As a result, after the new strings were put on the new piano, the intonation was not so accurate. He kept asking everyone to help him play the piano backstage, but when he came on stage, the first note was gone.

After Zhang Chu ran away after hearing the first note, he sang more and more, and the more he sang, the more crooked he became. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he said, "Stop, I want to sing this song again."

At this time, Jia Minshu handed over a piano as if flying from the bottom of the stage. The second time it was normal and he finished singing the song.

Du Kefeng, the photographer of "Chungking Express", was also there. He met Deng Acura who was playing guitar for He Yong backstage, handed him a bottle of liquor, and shouted to Acura: "Rocker, new real"

rocker!"

When he went on stage, Acura Deng was wearing pants that he spent a huge sum of 1,000 yuan on. The staff mistook them for underwear and almost knocked them off. In fact, he thought he looked like Axl Rose, the lead singer of Guns N' Roses.

The typhoon between him and He Yong is indeed like Guns N' Roses, with one word: "chaos".

When He Yong came on stage, the atmosphere was like a fire. He wore a sea soul shirt and a red scarf. The first song was "Girl, Beautiful". Before he started singing, he shouted to the audience: "Girls in Xiangjiang, are you beautiful?"

He and Deng Acura were so arrogant that the audience couldn't sit still and stood up. Seeing how enthusiastic the audience was, He Yong became more and more excited as he sang, becoming more and more confident.

"Sun Wukong threw away the golden cudgel and traveled across the ocean

Monk Sha drove the boat to catch all the fish.

Zhu Bajie returned to Gao Laozhuang and was accompanied by a massage girl

Tang Sanzang bit the instant noodles and came to the street

Show good luck to others,

Girl, girl, you are beautiful,

Police, police, you have a pistol

…”

His deconstruction of "Journey to the West" was earlier than "Journey to the West".

Deng Acura stood on the stage with long hair and big white legs exposed. She kicked her legs and shook her head. From time to time, she would kneel on her knees and look up to the sky. She had a particularly rock and roll look.

Most of this emotion was caused by He Yong's slap.

When he was still rehearsing in Yanjing, He Yong told Acura every day: "The media and the audience in Xiangjiang particularly look down on us." This made Acura so angry that he practiced piano at home every day for fear of embarrassing the band in Yanjing.

When he arrived in Xiangjiang, He Yong was still muttering over and over in the rehearsal room, which completely ignited Acura's mood. He didn't even go to the toilet and rushed onto the stage.

Extremely angry, excited, and young, this is Deng Xiuge on the Hung Hom stage.

He Yong was so excited during the performance that he poured a bottle of mineral water on Deng Acura's head, and Deng Acura also looked like he was enjoying it.

The last song He Yong sang was his famous masterpiece "The Bell and Drum Tower".

When singing the song "Bell and Drum Tower", He Yong first bowed to his father He Yusheng standing aside, and then introduced the musicians to the audience: "Sanxian player, He Yusheng, my father."

As soon as the camera rolled over, the old man was sitting there wearing a mandarin jacket, playing his three strings calmly and calmly. All the propositions and answers about tradition and rebellion, folk music and rock music, father and son, are here.

He Yong introduced again, "Flute player, Dou Wei." Dou Wei just smiled slightly, and the audience burst into applause.

"My home is just inside the Second Ring Road

People here have so much time

They are talking about whose family's trivial matters.

They're watching what brand of cigarette you took out

The people working hard in the small restaurant are fellow villagers from other places.

Their faces look like mine

Bicycle riding on fallen leaves, watching the sunset disappear

I can no longer see the Yinding Bridge clearly, and I can no longer see the Xishan Mountain clearly.

Lotus in the water, its leaves are broken

…”

Compared with "Drum Tower" written by Jiang Xiaofeng as a tourist, "Bell and Drum Tower" written by He Yong, a native of Yanjing, has a richer and more authentic flavor of old Yanjing.

This song uses folk music, and the accompaniment lineup is super luxurious.

The flute player is Dou Wei, and the sanxian player is He Yusheng, the 60-year-old head of the plucked instrument section of the Huaguo Song and Dance Ensemble.

"The Bell and Drum Tower is sucking in the dust and smoke, and you can paint his face

I can't hear your voice, it's too noisy and chaotic now

You've been watching for so long, why don't you say anything?

Who asked such a difficult question? There are correct answers everywhere

Who asked such a difficult question? There are correct answers everywhere

…”

Although Jiang Xiaofeng thinks that Dou Wei is the most elegant and the best singer among the four of them, he also has to admit that He Yong's stage style is quite good, and he is also very confident in setting the rhythm. The enthusiasm of the audience is agitated by him. The typhoon was on fire.

Jiang Xiaofeng felt that as the finale, he could never lose to him, so he was holding his breath and preparing to go on stage. Frankly speaking, his passion was also ignited by He Yong.

However, Jiang Xiaofeng did not follow He Yong's rhythm and continue to be restless. Instead, after taking the stage, he opened his Hung Hom concert with a lyrical song "With You in My Life".

"Because I dreamed of you leaving

I woke up from crying

Watch the night wind blowing through the window sill

can you feel my love

Until the day I grow old

are you still by my side

Look at those oaths and lies

Slowly drift away with the past

How many people once admired your appearance when you were young?

Who knows who is willing to endure the ruthless changes of time?

…”

After singing the song "With You in My Life", accompanied by the applause and cheers of the audience, Jiang Xiaofeng's performance at the Hong Kong Hung Hom Stadium was the real beginning.
