Chapter 66 Returning to Beijing, the fall of a generation of singers!

On May 8, 1995, the generation of singer Teresa Teng died of an acute asthma attack in Lam Hospital in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

What is sad is that this singer, who was surrounded by fans during her lifetime, had no relatives around her when she passed away.

The news of Teresa Teng's death spread back to Hong Kong, triggering a series of commemorative activities. Her classic songs during her lifetime were played in the streets and alleys.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng was not a fan of Teresa Teng, he had listened to her songs since he was a child. He also felt very regretful and sad about her sudden death.

This evening.

After a busy day of MV shooting, Jiang Xiaofeng returned to his residence and turned on the TV. TVB Jade Channel was playing the classic song "I Only Care About You" sung by Teresa Teng.

"Let time go by in a hurry

I only care about you

Willing to infect your breath

How many times in life can you get a close friend?

It’s not a pity to lose the power of life

…”

In Jiang Xiaofeng's view, Teresa Teng is no longer just a singer, but a cultural symbol and a legend. No award can measure her impact.

Three days later, Thai Airways International 747 Flight 636 landed slowly at Chiang Kai-shek Airport in Taoyuan, Taiwan, and Teresa Teng’s body was returned to Taiwan, China.

Also on this day, Zhang Ju, the bassist of the Tang Dynasty band, was hit by a large truck while riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle on the road. The driver escaped and after being rescued by the hospital, Zhang Ju died that day.

, only 25 years old.

Zhang Ju's death triggered grief for almost the entire Yanjing rock circle.

Because Zhang Ju has a very good reputation and popularity in the rock circle, almost everyone in the rock circle regards Zhang Ju as a brother.

When a group of rockers take a taxi together, Zhang Ju is always the one sitting in the passenger seat. Within 3 kilometers of the journey, the taxi driver basically becomes friends with Zhang Ju, and they don’t charge a fare.

Among those who engage in rock music, Zhang Ju’s family is considered wealthy. Like Lao Lang, Zhang Ju often treats guests to dinner, helps his brothers advance money, and so on. When everyone is too poor to afford food, he goes to Zhang Ju’s house.

You can always have a hot and hearty meal.

After all, Zhang Ju was not Teresa Teng, and few people in Xiangjiang knew about him. Jiang Xiaofeng only found out about Zhang Ju's unexpected death after Lao Lang made an international long-distance call to notify Jiang Xiaofeng.

On the phone, Lao Lang choked and said: "Fengzi, Zhang Ju is gone."

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't react for a moment and asked in confusion: "Zhang Ju is gone? Where did he go?"

The old wolf said sadly: "He died in a car accident."

"Ah? Real or fake?"

"Really, I went to see him. It didn't look like there was any damage on the outside, but actually all the internal organs and stuff inside were broken..."

After listening to Lao Lang's words, Jiang Xiaofeng thought Lao Lang was joking, but he knew Lao Lang's character and would not joke about such things, so he had to believe this fact.

After learning the news of Zhang Ju's death, Jiang Xiaofeng decided to ask for leave from Chen Jiaying and return to Yanjing to attend his funeral.

Of course, when Jiang Xiaofeng returned to Yanjing, in addition to attending Zhang Ju's funeral, she mainly went back to see her girlfriend Tao Hong. After all, they had not seen each other for a while, and they both needed comfort from each other, both physically and mentally.

After Chen Jiaying understood the situation, she was very reasonable and gave Jiang Xiaofeng a week's leave and asked him to come back on time so as not to delay the filming of the song MV.

Because according to plan, Jiang Xiaofeng's new album "Listening to Maple" will be released in early June, and there are still two songs left that have not been filmed.

Ironically, at Zhang Ju's funeral, Dou Wei and his ex-girlfriend Jiang Xin rekindled their old relationship. Dou Wei visited Jiang Xin's new home and left the next day.

Wang Fei, who was still in Xiangjiang at this time, had no idea what kind of situation Dou Wei was in Yanjing.

Because at this time, Wang Fei was busy recording her new album - "Fei's Melancholy Sound".

The album title "The Sound of Fei Mi Mi" was chosen by Wang Fei, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious. She said Teresa Teng's songs were not vulgar, and she vindicated and supported Teresa Teng who was criticized for this.

By the way, Wang Fei's love for Teresa Teng has lasted for more than a day or two.

As early as the early 1980s, the teenage Wang Fei was still a young girl from Yanjing. In that era when she could only rely on a tape recorder to play tapes, she was deeply infatuated with that gentle voice.

It can be said that without Teresa Teng, Wang Fei might not be what she is today.

Wang Fei, who always cherishes words like gold in interviews, has openly admitted more than once in public that she has one and only one idol, Teresa Teng.

In addition, the songs in the album "The Sound of Fei's Malaise" were all selected by Wang Fei herself. They are all relatively niche songs by Teresa Teng. Wang Fei used a new arrangement and added her own interpretation to express her love for her idol.

.

Unfortunately, just after the second week of recording the album "Fei's Melancholy", news came that Teresa Teng had passed away in Thailand, and Wang Fei could only mourn her idol with the regret of not completing the album.

On May 14th, the temperature in Yanjing had begun to get hot.

Evening, back house alley.

Jiang Xiaofeng moved a deck chair and sat next to the grape shed in the yard to enjoy the cool breeze. It was a comfortable and leisurely time.

Compared with the fast-paced Xiangjiang, Jiang Xiaofeng still prefers the feeling of being in Yanjing. Only here can he find a sense of belonging.

To Jiang Xiaofeng's delight, after two months in Xiangjiang, he found that the stems, leaves, and tendrils of the grapevine had grown very well, and it wouldn't take long for them to begin to bloom.

Jiang Xiaofeng thought to himself that when he came back next time, the grapes should be ready to be picked and eaten. In fact, whether to eat or not is not the important point. The important thing is to watch the process of their blossoming and bearing fruit.

At this time, Taohong put the cut iced watermelon on a plate, walked out of the room, walked up to Jiang Xiaofeng, and handed him a piece of watermelon.

Jiang Xiaofeng took a piece of watermelon and couldn't wait to take a big bite. It felt very cold, sweet and refreshing. He couldn't help but admired: "This watermelon is not bad, it is quite sweet and has a lot of water."

"It's delicious, so eat as much as you can. There's still a lot in the house. Oh, take your time, you'll eat it all over your face." Taohong said, holding a watermelon in one hand and a tissue in the other, helping Jiang Xiaofeng carefully.

Wiped the watermelon seeds on my face.

Jiang Xiaofeng's heart warmed, and he threw the watermelon rind aside and took Taohong into his arms.

Taohong sat on Jiang Xiaofeng's lap and said angrily: "I hate it, can't you wait for me to finish the watermelon?"

"No!" Jiang Xiaofeng said decisively and kissed her on the mouth.

"Well..."

As the final exam is approaching, Taohong has been rehearsing the show at school every day recently.

After rehearsing at school every day, Taohong got on the bus and walked a long way to the courtyard in Houzhai Hutong to have a tryst with Jiang Xiaofeng.

Early the next morning, when Jiang Xiaofeng was still lost in her dream, she had left silently, working tirelessly day after day.

During the few days when Jiang Xiaofeng was in Yanjing, Taohong divided her time like this. After meeting Jiang Xiaofeng, she spoke in human language and recited her lines on the way there and back.

Jiang Xiaofeng could imagine Taohong gently closing the courtyard door, facing the rising sun, walking through the alley, running in a hurry while speaking plausibly.

Jiang Xiaofeng suddenly realized that as a successful person, the most luxurious enjoyment is neither living in a villa nor riding a Mercedes-Benz. The most luxurious enjoyment should be sleeping until waking up naturally every day.

A week passed quickly, and Jiang Xiaofeng had to say goodbye to Taohong and embarked on the journey south again.

After arriving in Xiangjiang, Jiang Xiaofeng once again devoted his time and energy to the filming of the song MV.

After a week, Jiang Xiaofeng's new album "Listening to Maple" finally completed all the MVs for the songs.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xiaofeng entered the studio again and began shooting album covers and posters.

Then we discussed the release time of the record. According to the original plan, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Listening to Maple" record will be released in early June.

However, Chen Jiaying inquired that Guo Fucheng, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, will also release his latest album "Legend of Innocence" during this period.

Although at this stage, Guo Fucheng is the lowest among the four heavenly kings, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Even if Guo Fucheng is the one with the worst album sales among the Four Heavenly Kings, he is one or even two levels higher than other singers. With the existence of the third level, Chen Jiaying naturally does not dare to underestimate the opponent.

Chen Jiaying said worriedly: "If Guo Fucheng also releases a new album in early June, then our release time will be pushed back two weeks."

In this regard, Liang Rongjun has different opinions. Obviously, he still has a certain degree of confidence in Jiang Xiaofeng's record and feels there is no need to worry too much.

Thinking of this, Liang Rongjun said bluntly: "Katie, I don't think it is necessary to avoid Guo Fucheng. There may be Li Ming behind him. After Li Ming, there may be Jacky Cheung and Liu Dehua. If you keep avoiding them, who knows?

How long will it take?"

Chen Jiaying thought for a while and said: "Then let's push it back a week. It's better to be careful. We don't need to hit the muzzle of the gun."

Liang Rongjun nodded: "That's pretty much it. I don't think we need to be so timid. Good works can withstand the test of the market as long as they are well publicized."

After all, he is a young man. The young and frivolous Jiang Xiaofeng does not feel any pressure at all. He is quite looking forward to competing in the ring at the same time as Guo Fucheng.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng is also very clear that there is still a big gap between himself and the rising King Guo Tianwang, he still takes a lucky attitude and wants to fight with him and confront him head-on.
