However, even if he only took out 5 hit songs and put them on the same album, Jiang Xiaofeng felt it was scary enough. He didn't know what would happen after the album was released.

Jiang Xiaofeng is also full of expectations for this.

On the other hand, Chen Jiaying in Xiangjiang may have never dreamed that after Jiang Xiaofeng returned to Yanjing, not only did she not collect styles and create, she also lived a very free and easy life.

Because she was still uneasy about Jiang Xiaofeng, Chen Jiaying would call Jiang Xiaofeng to "consol" her almost every two days, urging him on the phone to devote all her time and energy to the creation of new songs.

When talking on the phone with Chen Jiaying, Jiang Xiaofeng had a very good attitude. He always behaved obediently and said "ok". Then after talking on the phone, he turned around and devoted all his time and energy to Taohong.

After half a month, Jiang Xiaofeng, who ate and drank heavily every day, not only did not gain weight, but lost a full six pounds.

Taohong's complexion became quite rosy, and the look in Jiang Xiaofeng's eyes almost made her eyes water.

It's quiet at night.

Houzhai Hutong, Siheyuan.

When she thought that Jiang Xiaofeng would leave Yanjing for Xiangjiang tomorrow, Taohong snuggled into Jiang Xiaofeng's arms and confided in her pain of parting.

Jiang Xiaofeng also couldn't let go of Taohong, more so than ever before.

It wouldn't matter if Jiang Xiaofeng and Tao Hong weren't together for a long time, but over the past half month, he and Tao Hong had been stuck together almost every day, and it had become a habit, getting used to the feeling of her being around.

After getting along for this period of time, Taohong also felt Jiang Xiaofeng's deep love for her as always. But when she thought that Jiang Xiaofeng was going to Xiangjiang, she felt unconfident and asked uneasily: "Xiaofeng, will you always be like this?"

Love me?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said affectionately: "Of course I will. I, Jiang Xiaofeng, will love you as much as I do now in my whole life. I can no longer live without you."

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's words, Taohong was also very moved. She couldn't help but kiss her face and said, "Me too, I can't live without you. I want to be with you forever and never be separated from you.

"After saying that, he hugged Jiang Xiaofeng tightly.

Jiang Xiaofeng was also very moved and hugged Taohong tightly, feeling her softness and fragrance.

Taohong suddenly remembered something, and then said: "Xiao Feng, if one day you fall in love with someone else, please tell me, I will not pester you, I..."

Before Tao Hong could finish what she said, Jiang Xiaofeng interrupted: "Hey, why are you here again? We are in a good mood now, why are you bringing up these things that didn't happen?"

Seeing that Jiang Xiaofeng was a little impatient, Taohong hurriedly explained: "We have to agree first. Don't let something like this really happen. I don't know how to face it. I'm afraid."

Jiang Xiaofeng said angrily and funny: "What are you afraid of? Let me tell you this. Even if one day I really fall in love with someone else, you are still my favorite. No one can compare with you. You are in my heart."

The position is unmatched by others."

"Think about it for yourself. We have been together for two years. You should know better than anyone how I treat you. Am I the kind of person who always gives up?"

Taohong shook her head, curled her lips and said, "No, you are not that kind of person, but if you really fall in love with someone else and no longer love me, I can take the initiative to leave. I don't want it to be difficult for you...

…”

Before Tao Hong could finish her words, Jiang Xiaofeng took over and said, "It's impossible. It's impossible for me not to love you. Although no one can predict what will happen in the future. I can't guarantee whether I will be right for you."

Another woman is tempted, but I can assure you that you are my favorite. In addition to love, there is also affection between us. I will never leave you in this life..."

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng's attitude in saying these words, which was so resolute, decisive and unquestionable, Tao Hong was so moved that the tears in her eyes finally fell down uncontrollably.

And Taohong's inner worries and anguish completely disappeared in this moment under Jiang Xiaofeng's patient persuasion.

Like most women in the world, Taohong also needs a sense of security, and Jiang Xiaofeng did not disappoint her and gave her a sense of security.

As they talked like this, Jiang Xiaofeng fell asleep in a daze, but Taohong was not sleepy. She was reluctant to just fall asleep like this. She enjoyed the time with Jiang Xiaofeng, but she was afraid that after she fell asleep, she would open her eyes.

It's dawn for your eyes.

However, when she thought of Jiang Xiaofeng leaving tomorrow and not knowing when she would see him again, Taohong still couldn't help but shed tears.

August 6th.

Jiang Xiaofeng's first Cantonese album "Listening to Maple", two months after its release in Hong Kong, its total sales successfully exceeded the 80,000 mark.

It was also during this period that Wang Fei's Mandarin album "Philippine Melancholy", a tribute to her idol Teresa Teng, sold more than 30,000 copies in the first week of its release in Hong Kong, and even reached 50,000 sales in the first week in Taiwan, showing her true qualities as a diva.

.

The Cantonese album "Allergy World" released by singers Zhang Xueyou and Wan Jiang Xiaofeng in one month exceeded the 100,000 sales mark.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng's "Listen to Maple" lost to the singer Jacky Cheung's "Allergic World" in terms of record sales, in terms of song popularity, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Next Year Today" can crush Jacky Cheung's "Allergic World" with just one song

There are ten songs in this album.

It is worth mentioning that the album "Listening to Maple" sells for 100 yuan in Hong Kong. According to the contract with Xinyibao Records, Jiang Xiaofeng can get about 20 yuan.

"Listening to the Maple" sold 80,000 copies in Xiangjiang, resulting in a total revenue of 8 million yuan, of which Jiang Xiaofeng was able to share 20%, which is 1.6 million yuan before tax.

In other words, Jiang Xiaofeng also earned about 1.6 million with the success of the album "Listening to Maple" in Hong Kong.

Although Chen Jiaying is Jiang Xiaofeng's manager, she only has a management contract with Jiang Xiaofeng and does not have a recording contract. She will not share Jiang Xiaofeng's recording income.

As the manager of Jiang Xiaofeng and Wang Fei, Chen Jiaying's main remuneration comes from commissions from the two singers' commercial performances, concerts, brand endorsements, film and television dramas, etc.

Of course, Jiang Xiaofeng's records are selling well, and Chen Jiaying is also very happy, because this means that Jiang Xiaofeng's commercial value has been improved accordingly, and his net worth has also risen with the tide. Naturally, the share of income she can get from Jiang Xiaofeng will also increase.

It will get higher and higher.

August 8, morning.

New Yibao Records, Recording Studio.

Under the expectant eyes of manager Chen Jiaying and producer Liang Rongjun, Jiang Xiaofeng took out the first song of his new album - "Friends".

"These years, a person

The wind passes and the rain passes

There were tears and mistakes

Remember what you insist on?

Only when you have truly loved can you understand

I will be lonely and look back

…”

Although the song "Friends" is a Mandarin song with simple melody and lyrics, Chen Jiaying and Liang Rongjun both know that this song is catchy, rich in life philosophy, and has strong communication attributes.

Especially the line "One word, a lifetime, a lifetime of love, a glass of wine" sung by Jiang Xiaofeng. These four short words express the preciousness of friendship in life.

After listening to the song "Friends" composed and sung by Jiang Xiaofeng, Liang Rongjun and Chen Jiaying were very happy, and Chen Jiaying even gave him a thumbs up.

Chen Jiaying said with emotion: "Fengzi, you really didn't disappoint me. It seems that your return to Yanjing this time was very fruitful. As soon as you came back to Xiangjiang, you brought us a surprise."

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and replied: "Sister Katie, I told you that I would have more creative inspiration when I returned to Yanjing. You didn't quite believe it at the time, but you should believe me now, right?"

Chen Jiaying laughed loudly and said: "I believe it, I know it now. You really didn't go back to play, you are really making music with your heart.

That morning, Liang Rongjun began arranging the song "Friends" composed by Jiang Xiaofeng. It only took more than a day to complete the arrangement of the song, and then found a professional band to record the accompaniment.

On the third day, Jiang Xiaofeng entered the studio to record.

After recording the song "Friends", Jiang Xiaofeng came up with the second title song of the new album - "Ten Years".

The song "Ten Years" is said to be a new song, but it is actually a dual-purpose song. It is the Mandarin version of the Cantonese song "Next Year Today".

In fact, this creative model is very common in the Hong Kong music scene. Many Hong Kong singers, including the Four Heavenly Kings, will adapt their popular Cantonese songs into Mandarin songs and then release them in mainland China and Taiwan.

Like Andy Lau, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, many of his Cantonese songs will be adapted into Mandarin songs and released. The most classic one is the Cantonese hit "Days We Walked Together" adapted into the Mandarin version of "The Next Life".

In the following days, Jiang Xiaofeng successively released several new songs such as "Cold to the End" and "Love Because of Love".

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng's creative ability reaching its peak, with good songs one after another, not only Chen Jiaying was so happy that she said "I found a treasure", but Liang Rongjun's appreciation for Jiang Xiaofeng, a young man, has also reached a very high level, almost all of them.

He is about to become his "uncle fan".

However, Liang Rongjun still has selfish motives. Although the Mandarin songs composed by Jiang Xiaofeng have the potential to become popular, he still looks forward to Jiang Xiaofeng's Cantonese songs. He hopes that Jiang Xiaofeng can create more songs like "Next Year Today" for the Hong Kong music scene.

classic Cantonese hits.

August 15th, evening.

The overseas premiere of the movie "Sunny Days" directed by Jiang Wen and starring Xia Yu, Ning Jing, Jiang Xiaofeng and Tao Hong was held in Hong Kong.

Although the leading actor Xia Yu won the Venice Best Actor, the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, and the Best Actor at the Singapore International Film Festival for his role as Ma Xiaojun in the movie "Sunny Days", not many people in Hong Kong know him.

Therefore, Jiang Wen specially invited Jiang Xiaofeng to attend the premiere of the movie "Sunny Days" in Hong Kong.

Ning Jing also came. As soon as she saw Jiang Xiaofeng, she walked up to him and gave him a big hug.

Because the time was too short, Jiang Xiaofeng only felt the softness and had no other experiences.

Looking at the increasingly handsome Jiang Xiaofeng in front of her, Ning Jing couldn't help but admire: "Monk, I haven't seen you in two years. You have become more handsome and mature."

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and asked: "Sister Jing, I am only 20 years old this year. I am still young, how can I be mature? Do you mean to say that I am old?"

Seeing that Jiang Xiaofeng had misunderstood her, Ning Jing explained dumbfoundedly: "Monk, you have misunderstood Sister Jing. That's not what Sister Jing meant. What Sister Jing meant was that you have become more... more masculine than before."

Yes, you used to be a big boy, but now you look like a man."

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't take it seriously and replied with a smile: "I know, Sister Jing, you don't need to explain so much to me, I'm just kidding you."

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's words, Ning Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and joked: "Monk, I didn't expect that after two years of not seeing each other, you have become a lot bolder, and you already know how to make fun of your sister Jing."

However, Ning Jing was quite surprised to see dozens of Jiang Xiaofeng's loyal fans coming to the movie premiere. She couldn't help but sigh: "Monk, I didn't expect you to be so popular in Xiangjiang, and you have fans groups to cheer you on.

, and they are all young girls.”

Facing Ning Jing's compliment, Jiang Xiaofeng just smiled and said modestly: "It's okay, just so-so."

It is worth mentioning that on this night, the film "Sunny Days" was released simultaneously in nine theaters of the Hong Kong Pan-Ye Cinema Line. It grossed more than HK$5 million at the box office in more than ten days and was listed as one of the top ten most popular films in Hong Kong in 1995.

One of the best-selling literary films.

The film industry and film critics in Hong Kong have given the film unprecedented praise. Therefore, "Sunny Days" has been called "the only mainland film with comprehensive reviews" in Hong Kong.

Xu Anhua, a famous female director in Hong Kong, believes that the film is "the most creative and powerful Chinese film in recent years."

In our mainland, "Sunny Days" was first shown in Shanghai Grand Guangming, Cathay Pacific and other super special theaters for a week, and then it was released in 30 theaters at the same time.

The film hit a box office of more than 1 million in the first round of its release, and then in the second and third rounds, it was shown in more than 50 major theaters in Shanghai for more than 20 days. Both the number of viewers and the box office set a record for domestic films.

score.

On Saturdays and Sundays at Grand Guangming, Heping and other theaters, audiences even lined up to buy tickets - a phenomenon that has been rare for domestic film screenings for many years.

Yongle Company, the distribution agent in Shanghai, specially added a "fourth round of screenings" for this purpose. As a result, the box office revenue exceeded 3 million.

For a time, "Sunny Day" became a topic discussed everywhere and became a hot topic in China's social and cultural life in the second half of 1995.

In the end, the total box office of the movie "Sunny Days" reached 50 million yuan in mainland China. Based on the average ticket price of 5 yuan, about 10 million people watched the movie, while the average ticket price was 50 yuan.

Twenty years later, the film’s total box office was equivalent to 500 million yuan!

At the same time, Jiang Xiaofeng's role as Liu Yiku in the movie "Sunny Days" has also been recognized by many Xiangjiang fans.

It was also after the movie "Sunny Days" was released in Hong Kong that Jiang Xiaofeng received invitations from some Hong Kong film and television companies, inviting him to star in some movies as the second or third male lead, as well as make friendly guest appearances.

As for the male lead in Hong Kong movies, unless he is a chosen one like Jet Li, other actors from mainland China basically do not need to consider the male lead.

The reason why Zhao Wenzhuo was able to star in the male lead in the movie in Hong Kong was also due to the rise of Li Lianjie in Hong Kong, because the film company in Hong Kong wanted to find a national martial arts champion who was close to Li Lianjie in all aspects, hoping to replicate Li Lianjie's success.

road.

Of course, the main reason why they invited Jiang Xiaofeng to star in the movie was not because of Jiang Xiaofeng's acting skills, but because of his high popularity in Hong Kong.

This is a bit similar to Jimmy Lin, the "little whirlwind" who became extremely popular two years ago. He could be said to be popular all over Asia at that time. Many film companies in Hong Kong took a fancy to his popularity and invited him to participate in movies.

.

For example, Prince Jia in "Meteor Butterfly Sword" and Han Lin in "Psycho and the Flying Cat" were all guest roles played by Jimmy Lin in the Hong Kong film industry during his peak period.

However, agent Chen Jiaying is relatively rational and far-sighted. She did not let Jiang Xiaofeng go crazy to accept dramas and commercial roles for short-term interests, but instead helped Jiang Xiaofeng push forward several drama appointments.

In fact, the same goes for Chen Jiaying's packaging of Wang Fei. What she wants is strong style. When Wang Fei is approached for general advertisements and commercial performances, Chen Jiaying usually doesn't accept it. It would be better to hold a large-scale concert directly or accept endorsements from some well-known brands.

Moreover, the film company's search for Jiang Xiaofeng to star in a movie is in itself a sign of eagerness for quick success. It is not a good movie or an important and good role at all. Even if Jiang Xiaofeng plays the role, it will not be of any help to his career.

In addition, Jiang Xiaofeng has been busy recording his new album recently and has no time to act in any movies or TV series.

Obviously, Chen Jiaying is also a gold medal agent with film and television resources. Wang Fei's ability to star in "Chongqing Forest" directed by Wong Kar-wai is also inseparable from her strategizing.

Of course, if there is a good movie or a role suitable for Jiang Xiaofeng, Chen Jiaying will also consider whether to take it if Jiang Xiaofeng's schedule permits.

Time flies by quickly, and it’s already late August.

After recording the song "The Most Beautiful", all 10 songs of Jiang Xiaofeng's album were finally recorded, and the next step was to shoot the music video for this album.

After internal discussions, Jiang Xiaofeng's Mandarin album was finally named "Golden Era", which means that Jiang Xiaofeng has officially entered the golden age of his singing career.

According to Chen Jiaying's plan, New Yibao Records will complete the MV shooting and post-production of all songs in mid-September.

If nothing else goes wrong, Jiang Xiaofeng's album, "Golden Era", will be released simultaneously in the three places across the Taiwan Strait, as well as in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand in late September.

After listening to several songs from Jiang Xiaofeng's latest album, record companies such as Xiangjiang's Xinyibao and Taiwan's Forma Records all have high hopes for Jiang Xiaofeng's "Golden Era".
