Chapter 78 Night talk with Sister Zhou, getting the prize and being soft!

Jiang Xiaofeng originally thought that Zhou Huimin was just rejecting her and using his agent as a shield. However, not long after, Zhou Huimin called back and told him that his agent agreed.

Zhou Huimin's manager Ke Zhihui is not stupid. He sees that Jiang Xiaofeng is so popular now and even continues to rise, so he does Jiang Xiaofeng a favor now, and it will be easier for him to talk to Jiang Xiaofeng if he has anything to do with him in the future.

After confirming this performance, Jiang Xiaofeng and Zhou Huimin also discussed matters related to this cooperation on the phone.

No matter how you say it, Zhou Huimin is a senior, has quite a lot of experience in holding concerts, and has shared a lot of good advice with Jiang Xiaofeng.

In the process of meeting Jiang Xiaofeng, Zhou Huimin gradually discovered that the other person was a very thoughtful and pursuing young man. His views on many things were quite up to date with the times, and he was completely different from the mainland boy she had imagined.

The two of them chatted until late at night, neither of them said anything about hanging up the phone, as if they were reluctant to hang up the phone.

In fact, this is normal. After breaking up with her ex-boyfriend, Zhou Huimin not only felt empty in her soul, but also needed nourishment in her body. The appearance of Jiang Xiaofeng in her life undoubtedly gave her a new vitality.

If it was Jiang Xiaofeng who had just arrived in Xiangjiang and had no fame, status or money, Zhou Huimin would naturally look down on him.

But now, in less than a year, Jiang Xiaofeng is like riding a rocket. He has grown from a relatively unknown newcomer to a king-level superstar, and has found his own place in the fiercely competitive Hong Kong music scene.

After the transformation, Jiang Xiaofeng has become the dream of thousands of girls. It is difficult not to make people admire her, and Zhou Huimin is no exception.

As for what Jiang Xiaofeng thinks about her, it is already Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it. Not only the manager Ke Zhihui knows it, but Zhou Huimin himself also knows it.

But in the end, it was Zhou Huimin who reminded Jiang Xiaofeng: "Fengzi, it's already very late. Don't you have to rework tomorrow?"

Jiang Xiaofeng replied: "Yes, there will be an event in Central tomorrow morning."

Zhou Huimin asked again: "Then if you don't go to bed early, won't you feel tired?"

Listening to the sweet voice on the other end of the phone, Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and replied: "I'm not tired. The more I talk to you, the more energetic I will be."

Zhou Huimin smiled and asked: "Why didn't I know that I have such magical power?"

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Sister Vivian, you don't know the true face of Mount Lu because you are in this mountain."

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng talk about ancient poems, Zhou Huimin smiled and joked: "Do all the boys from mainland China speak as elegantly and funny as you?"

Jiang Xiaofeng denied with a smile: "Sister Vivian, please don't laugh at me. I just expressed my feelings and didn't mean to be literal."

After joking for a while, Zhou Huimin couldn't help but ask: "Fengzi, a boy as good as you, with so many girls liking him, should have a girlfriend, right?"

Jiang Xiaofeng naturally has a girlfriend, but since the sky is high and the emperor is far away, he is not afraid of Taohong knowing about it, so he lied to Zhou Huimin and said: "No, but I already have someone I like in my heart."

Zhou Huimin was secretly happy, but he knew it and asked: "Who is it? Is it someone from our circle?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said "hmm" and did not mince words with Zhou Huimin. He said bluntly: "You also know this person. She is far away in the world but right in front of you."

Although Jiang Xiaofeng did not mention anyone by name, it was impossible for Zhou Huimin not to know who he was talking about.

However, what Jiang Xiaofeng really loves in his heart is Taohong. His love for Zhou Huimin is, strictly speaking, an obsession he had when he was young.

It is said that there is no smoke without fire, so Zhou Huimin didn't even have to guess. Jiang Xiaofeng had been asking her to cooperate one after another, and it was basically certain.

However, Zhou Huimin said: "Then she is really lucky to be liked by you."

Seeing that Zhou Huimin didn't express anything, Jiang Xiaofeng didn't understand what Zhou Huimin thought of him, and he didn't dare to push further for the time being.

But Jiang Xiaofeng knew very well that as long as Zhou Huimin relaxed a little and was willing to give him a chance, he would definitely attack her.

For Jiang Xiaofeng’s fourth solo concert at the Coliseum, Jiang Xiaofeng invited Andy Lau as a mysterious guest.

Because Jiang Xiaofeng had just written a song "Chinese" for him, and he admired Jiang Xiaofeng's talent very much. Andy Lau was also very considerate, and he agreed to Jiang Xiaofeng's invitation without even hesitating.

As for the mysterious guest at the fifth concert, Jiang Xiaofeng wanted to collaborate with his idol Leslie Cheung, but he and Leslie had never met, and he didn't know if he could hire such a superstar.

However, Jiang Xiaofeng still expressed his thoughts to his agent Chen Jiaying.

After learning Jiang Xiaofeng's thoughts, Chen Jiaying sighed helplessly: "Fengzi, Leslie is not so easy to invite. He has not held a concert for six years since he retired from the music scene in 1989."

Hearing Chen Jiaying's words, Jiang Xiaofeng asked in confusion: "Hasn't he already returned to the music scene? I remember that he seemed to have released a record this year."

Chen Jiaying said calmly: "He did make a comeback and released a new album, but he hasn't sung in public for many years."

The fact is, as Chen Jiaying said, although Leslie Cheung also released his 27th album "Beloved" in July 1995, he has never performed it in public.

However, Chen Jiaying also promised him that she would try her best to help him negotiate. As for whether Leslie Cheung would agree in the end, it would still depend on Leslie Cheung's wishes, which was not something she could control.

Time passed very quickly, and it was January 1996 in a blink of an eye.

The whole month of January can be called a harvest month for Jiang Xiaofeng, a month of winning awards. It can be said that winning awards is easy.

On the first day of the new year, Jiang Xiaofeng won an award, the "Taiwan Province Top Ten Most Popular Idol Award" from Taiwan Province.

The Top Ten Most Popular Idols in Taiwan Province was organized by Minsheng Daily in 1992. It is an award ceremony that is highly valued in Taiwan and very popular among young men and women.

The awards are voted for by the Taiwanese audience. The most popular person wins, ranked first to tenth. If fans want to vote for their idols, they can only buy newspapers to vote for their idols. Basically, there is no possibility of cost.

What matters is the popularity of idols and the purchasing power of fans.

There is no doubt that those who can win this award are the most popular idols in Taiwan at that time.

Prior to this, Andy Lau had won the first place in the "Taiwan Province's Top Ten Most Popular Idol Awards" four times in a row. It can be said that he has no rivals at all.

Guo Fucheng, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, took 2nd, 3rd, and 6th place respectively. Li Ming also entered the top ten 3 times. The best result was 6th place, which was not as good as "Asian Little Whirlwind" Lin Zhiying.

When he was at his peak, he at least beat Guo Fucheng and took second place.

The ranking of the top ten most popular idol awards in Taiwan Province in 1995 is as follows:

First place: Liu Dehua

Second place: Guo Fucheng

Third place: Jiang Xiaofeng

Fourth place: Wu Qilong

Fifth place: Su Youpeng

Sixth place: Sun Yaowei

Seventh place: Takeshi Kaneshiro

Eighth place: Zhang Weijian

Ninth place: Lin Zhiying

Tenth place: Zhang Xinzhe

Jiang Xiaofeng is quite satisfied with this ranking. After all, he has not done much activities in Taiwan Province. That is, when the albums "Golden Age" and "Jiang Xiaofeng" were released, Jiang Xiaofeng went to Taiwan Province to promote.

However, this list also has limitations. The main competition is the popularity of idols. Generally powerful singers, such as Zhang Xueyou and Zhou Huajian, their popularity in Taiwan Province is also at the top level. In recent years, they can be regarded as the most popular singers in Taiwan Province.

The two best-selling male singers.

Especially the "God of Songs" Zhang Xueyou, although he has never been in the top ten of the list of "Top Ten Most Popular Idols in Taiwan Province", no one can compare with the sales of records in Taiwan Province.

Get on him.

Not to mention other things, Zhang Xueyou's Mandarin album "True Love" released in March 1995 sold 1.2 million copies in Taiwan Province alone, while Jiang Xiaofeng's "Golden Age" sold 720,000 copies, ranking second.

Second, there are only tens of thousands more copies than Wang Fei's "Sky" and Zhou Huajian's "Love Follows".

Although the media has been hyping that Jiang Xiaofeng's record sales have surpassed the singer Zhang Xueyou, but overall it has not. It's just that Jiang Xiaofeng's "Golden Age" beat Zhang Xueyou's "Friends".

You know, in 1995, Zhang Xueyou's most awesome album was not "Friends" or "Allergic World", but the album "True Love". With "Blessings" and "A Thousand Heartbreaks"

Hits such as "The Reason" and "I Waited Until the Flowers Withered" have sold a total of 5 million copies across Asia.

However, as a newcomer, Jiang Xiaofeng can be regarded as the undisputed newcomer king in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and even in all Chinese-speaking areas.

So far, Jiang Xiaofeng's first Mandarin album "Golden Age", which was released simultaneously across Asia, has sold more than 2.4 million copies, ranking among the top ten of the year. Moreover, this number is still increasing, exceeding 3 million.

It's just a matter of time.

January 13th, night.

The "18th Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Awards Ceremony" hosted by Xiangjiang Radio was held grandly in Xiangjiang.

It is worth mentioning that in the Hong Kong music scene, the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs is a very valuable award ceremony, which is evaluated based on the singer's record sales. It can also be said to be a valuable sales award.

Unlike other award ceremonies, the Hong Kong Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards did not award male or female singer awards.

At the award ceremony here, Jiang Xiaofeng stole the show. Not long after his appearance, he won the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Award for his song "Today Next Year".

After Jiang Xiaofeng received the trophy, he did not pretend to be cool. Amid the screams and cheers of the fans, he honestly delivered his acceptance speech: "First of all, I want to thank Sister Katie for her support and tolerance for me. I am very grateful."

Thank you, and I also want to thank my producer Mr. Alvin Liang Rongjun, who has given me a lot of help, and then I also want to thank Vivian for starring in my song MV... Finally, I want to thank my fans, thank you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another horrific scream from the audience.

Of the remaining 9 Cantonese hits, Jacky Cheung won two each, and the remaining three kings shared one song each. Stephen Chow won one, and Sammi Chan, Peng Ling, Priscilla Chan and others each won one.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xiaofeng won the gold medal for the most promising new artist with the album "Listening to Maple", while Chen Huilin and Cheng Zhongji won the silver and bronze awards respectively.

In addition, Jiang Xiaofeng also won the Gold Award for Excellent Mandarin for the song "Friends", while Xin Xiaoqi and Zhang Xinzhe won the Silver and Bronze Awards for "Taste" and "Overdone" respectively.

There are five IFPI awards for the highest-selling singer of the year, namely Zhang Xueyou, Jiang Xiaofeng, Andy Lau, Peng Ling, and Zhou Huajian.

The award for the highest-selling singer of the year is reserved exclusively for the singer Zhang Xueyi.

In addition, Zhang Xueyou also won the IFPI annual record sales championship award with the album "This Winter Is Not Too Cold".

In fact, in the Hong Kong music scene in 1995, the highest-selling album was not Zhang Xueyou's "This Winter Is Not Too Cold", but Leslie Cheung's "Beloved".

According to statistics, the total sales volume of Leslie Cheung's "Beloved" in 1995 was 300,000 copies, Jacky Cheung's "This Winter Is Not Too Cold" sold 250,000 copies, and Jiang Xiaofeng's "Golden Age" sold 200,000 copies.

However, because Leslie Cheung had announced his withdrawal from the Hong Kong music awards ceremony as early as 1989, he was not nominated.

As for Queen Wang Fei, she is also quite awesome. She directly announced that she would not participate and withdrew from the award ceremony. Otherwise, with her record sales, she would definitely be the most watched female singer at the scene.

At this award ceremony, Jiang Xiaofeng was second only to the singer Zhang Xueyou and became the second biggest winner of the night. If the four kings were not supported by Zhang Xueyou, he might have been the biggest winner of the night.

ps. Posting a chapter of Zhou Huimin’s easter egg chapter. I was supposed to update it at 8 o’clock. I was too busy last night and didn’t have time to type. I had no choice but to push it to now. I’m really sorry.
