Chapter 77 The situation has opened up, Spring Festival Gala and concert!

In order to express his sincerity, Andy Lau not only had a phone call with Jiang Xiaofeng through Jiang Xiaofeng's manager Chen Jiaying, but also took the initiative to visit Jiang Xiaofeng on that night at the end of November, avoiding the eyes and ears of the paparazzi.

This is the first time Jiang Xiaofeng has seen Andy Lau in real life. His appearance is really good, he is handsome, and his hooked nose cannot stop him from being handsome.

Andy Lau also has no airs and is very easy-going. In order to accommodate Jiang Xiaofeng, he even took the initiative to speak Mandarin with him.

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't care. He was proficient in Cantonese and Mandarin, so there was no pressure to speak either.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng and Andy Lau are competitors in the music world, the meeting between the two can be said to be a late acquaintance and a joyful conversation.

Andy Lau was born in 1961 and is 14 years older than Jiang Xiaofeng. Jiang Xiaofeng did not call him "Hua Zai" like fans, but politely called him "Brother Hua".

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng, a newcomer, respect him so much, Andy Lau was also pleased and touched.

The same is true for Jet Li. Even though he later entered Hollywood and became an international superstar, in front of Andy Lau, he still called Andy Lau "Brother Hua" because he was two years younger than Andy Lau.

When talking to Jiang Xiaofeng about the year 1997 when Xiangjiang was about to return to the embrace of his motherland, Andy Lau also expressed his excitement and looked forward to that day.

Unlike Zhou Xingchi and many other Hong Kong celebrities who want to immigrate abroad, Andy Lau has not considered this issue. He has always felt that the center of his career is in China, and there is no practical significance in immigrating abroad.

After seeing Andy Lau's attitude, Jiang Xiaofeng asked Andy Lau: "Brother Hua, if I write you a patriotic song, do you dare to sing it?"

Liu Dehua just hesitated for a moment and then replied: "You dare, why don't you dare?"

Hearing Liu Dehua's answer, Jiang Xiaofeng's respect for him couldn't help but increase. Although this thing seemed easy, it was still stressful to do it.

For example, Tony Leung Ka-fai was banned by the Taiwan Province for his roles in the two movies "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Behind the Curtain". He is a Hong Kong Film Award winner, and he didn't even get to film, so he had to go to Causeway Bay with his college classmates to show off.

Street stall.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaofeng respects Liu Dehua very much and admires Liu Dehua's courage.

Andy Lau also chatted with Jiang Xiaofeng about the first time he went to Hainan to film in 1982. After more than three months, there was no difference and he felt very friendly.

"In fact, in the past two years, everyone has been very excited, although there is still a little hesitation, because no one has experienced it before and doesn't know what will happen."

Although Xiangjiang has not returned yet, Liu Dehua also told Jiang Xiaofeng that every time he returns to his hometown of Jiangmen, it is like returning home and he can feel a sense of blood connection.

After chatting with Andy Lau all night and understanding the other person's thoughts, Jiang Xiaofeng did not hide it and said to Andy Lau: "Brother Hua, there was a song that I wanted to sing for myself. Since you are here today,

, then I’ll give it to you.”

"Because I feel that if you sing my new song, it may be more effective and influential than if I sing it."

Andy Lau was very excited and quickly replied: "Ah? Really? Can I hear this song now?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said calmly: "It's not possible for the moment. I have to write the song. I haven't composed the music yet. I'll write the lyrics for you first and see if you like it."

After speaking, Jiang Xiaofeng took out a pen and paper and wrote down the lyrics of this new song for Andy Lau.

"Five thousand years of wind and rain, how many dreams have been hidden

Yellow face, black eyes, always a smile

Eight thousand miles of mountains and rivers are like a song

No matter where you come from, where you are going

The same tears, the same pain

We keep the sufferings of the past in our hearts

…”

Looking at the lyrics of this song, Andy Lau finally understood why Jiang Xiaofeng asked him just now if he dared to sing a patriotic song.

In addition, Andy Lau cannot admit that Jiang Xiaofeng, a young man from mainland China, is indeed talented. He is able to write so many good songs in his early 20s, and he cannot help but admire him.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaofeng's lyrics are really good. When Andy Lau read the lyrics of this song, he felt passionate and quite powerful.

Liu Dehua asked with excitement: "Fengzi, can you tell me what the title of this song is?"

"Brother Hua, the title of this song is "Chinese"!"

Liu Dehua patted him on the shoulder and said gratefully: "Fengzi, thank you for writing a good poem for me."

Jiang Xiaofeng also promised Andy Lau: "Brother Hua, give me a week to compose the music, and then I will record a demo for you."

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's words, Liu Dehua was also very moved. At first, he was worried that Jiang Xiaofeng might not be willing to help him write songs. Obviously, he was overly worried.

Liu Dehua said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Fengzi. Thank you for your trust. Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to sing this song well!"

"Easy to say!"

Jiang Xiaofeng also kept his promise. In less than a week, he composed the song "Chinese", recorded a demo, and sent it to Andy Lau.

After listening to the demo of the song "Chinese" recorded by Jiang Xiaofeng, Andy Lau liked it very much and planned to use this song as the first song of his new album.

In addition to expressing his gratitude to Jiang Xiaofeng again on the phone, Andy Lau also deposited 200,000 yuan into Jiang Xiaofeng's bank account.

Early December.

In order to expand the influence of the brand, Wahaha, who is already well-known, has taken a fancy to the rising star Jiang Xiaofeng and plans to join forces with him to start a cooperation.

Although Wahaha offered a three-year 3.5 million endorsement contract, which was considered sincere, Jiang Xiaofeng declined the other party's invitation to cooperate without much consideration.

In Jiang Xiaofeng's past life memory, Wahaha later started a happy cooperation with singer Wang Lihong for 20 years. Wang Lihong never increased her endorsement fee out of gratitude.

Originally, the cooperation between Wahaha and Wang Lihong could create a legend for a generation, but in the end, Zong Qinghou's daughter found it too offensive and was directly replaced by the other party.

It’s okay to be replaced. Originally, endorsements are based on your own will and there is no need for moral kidnapping. It’s blameless for Hahaha to do this.

The key point is that after Wang Lihong was removed as the spokesperson, he was considered too old and the customers were tired of it. They also said that Wahaha is so famous not because of Wang Lihong, but because of his father. In the end, he was replaced by a spokesperson.

A Taiwanese male star named Xu Guanghan.

As a native of Mainland China, Jiang Xiaofeng certainly hoped that his first advertisement could support a mainland brand, but when he thought of what his eldest daughter had said about Wang Lihong, he still felt very disgusted and rejected it. Hahaha.

of cooperation.

Although Chen Jiaying didn't quite understand Jiang Xiaofeng's decision, she didn't say much and expressed her support.

In addition to Wahaha, there are also many brands in Hong Kong and Taiwan who want to cooperate with Jiang Xiaofeng, but they are not big brands. Chen Jiaying dislikes them because they are not of high quality, so they all rejected them.

Unlike other celebrity managers, Chen Jiaying will not treat artists as cash cows for the sake of money, arrange work day and night for them, or accept various brand endorsements to drain the commercial value of the artists.

Like Wang Fei in the past few years since her debut, Chen Jiaying has helped her accept very few advertisements, but when she does, she always cooperates with big brands. In this way, Faye Wong not only has a strong personality, but her endorsement fees are also higher than those of ordinary brands.

Quite a few.

If given a choice, Jiang Xiaofeng would like to be the spokesperson for Arctic Soda, even if the money is less, it doesn't matter. Unfortunately, Arctic Soda has not developed well in the past two years and is on the verge of bankruptcy.

It was also during this period that Jiang Xiaofeng held five consecutive "Fengqiyunyong Solo Concerts" at the Hung Hom Stadium, scheduled to be held on February 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18, 1996, starting from Valentine's Day.

to New Year's Eve.

As luck would have it, on the same day, Jiang Xiaofeng received a notice from the CCTV Spring Festival Gala director team, inviting him to participate in the 1996 Spring Festival Gala and sing the song "Friends".

After all, the Spring Festival Gala is also the most watched and highest-rated gala in China. As a Chinese, Jiang Xiaofeng naturally wants to participate.

Unfortunately, the concert schedule at Hung Hom Stadium has already been decided. Jiang Xiaofeng has no choice but to decline the Spring Festival Gala director's invitation.

It is worth mentioning that Jiang Xiaofeng did not invite any guests at his first concert at the Hung Hom Stadium, and planned to sing the whole show by himself.

After all, it was his first solo concert in his life. Jiang Xiaofeng didn't want to share the stage with anyone else. He just wanted to enjoy the applause and cheers of the fans by himself.

However, for the second concert, Jiang Xiaofeng invited Wang Fei and wanted her to be a guest at the concert to surprise fans and friends.

Wang Fei happened to have nothing to do, so she agreed, and reminded Jiang Xiaofeng in advance: "It's okay to let me sing on stage, but don't let me talk. I don't know what to say."

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and replied: "No problem, Sister Fei, I'm already very happy that you can come as my concert guest. It doesn't matter whether you say anything or not."

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's words, Wang Fei also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You said this yourself. Don't blame me for not speaking up."

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and complimented: "Don't worry, Sister Fei, as long as you can appear on the stage, you will already be a sensation. Who cares whether you say anything or not."

As for the mysterious guest for the third concert, Jiang Xiaofeng invited Zhou Huimin, the head of Jade Girl.

Zhou Huimin couldn't answer Jiang Xiaofeng immediately, so he could only say to Jiang Xiaofeng: "Fengzi, I am very happy and honored that you can invite me to be your concert guest."

"But I can't answer you yet. I have to ask my agent first before I can give you an answer."

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and replied: "It's okay, Sister Vivian, there's no pressure on you. Regardless of whether you can come or not, we are mostly friends and it won't have any impact."
