Chapter 823 The Three Powers Initial Battle for Hegemony

In the past nearly a month, these were not the only things that happened.

In the music world, there has been a lot of competition recently.

Leslie Cheung's "Monica" album has just been released two weeks ago, and Kirin Records' first album, Tan Yonglin's "Love in Late Autumn," has also been released.

In "Love in Late Autumn", there are three songs written by Yin Jun for Tan Yonglin.

"Love in Late Autumn", "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", "Flowers in the Water".

The three capitals are Tan Yonglin's super classics. Among them, "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", although it was originally a Mandarin version written by Tong Ange, Tan Yonglin also has a Cantonese version, which is equally good.

This song was sung by a female singer from Baodao in 1985. Now in 1981, it is naturally Yin Jun's.

Yin Jun also sold it out and re-wrote the most authentic Mandarin version of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" instead of the Cantonese version, specifically for sale outside Hong Kong.

Especially in the Baodao area, the external publicity was specially created by Yin Jun for their Mandarin fans.

Tan Yonglin originally developed in Baodao a few years ago and has a very good reputation. Coupled with the blessing of Yin Jun's lyrics and music, he entered the Baodao market and ushered in hot sales.

Sales exceeded 100,000 in the first week, and exceeded 200,000 in the second week, which is a bit jaw-dropping.

The songs of "Love in Late Autumn" are definitely not just the three songs written by Yin Jun. The songwriters who produced songs for Kirin Records for the first time have all tried their best to create the remaining songs for Tan Yonglin. 9 songs - the first album as the first singer of Kirin Records, a total of 12 songs, full of sincerity.

Thinking about the talents and abilities of these songwriters, you know that this album will definitely not be successful.

So three weeks later, Tan Yonglin's sales were approaching 1 million, and he was vaguely looking to become the second Leslie Cheung.

After all, Leslie Cheung was supported by Yin Jun, and Tan Yonglin is now a singer under Yin Jun. Of course, Yin Jun will praise him even more.

Some reporters who wanted to stop and question Zhang Guorong and Tan Yonglin wanted to sow discord.

Leslie Cheung's answer was this: "Alun and I also knew each other, even before he met Ajun. He is already very capable. If he can become popular, I will be even happier. Doesn't this mean that the Hong Kong music scene is becoming more and more prosperous?" Really? This lets people know that there are not only SAM and me in the Xiangjiang music scene, but also many more talents!"

Compared with the successful Leslie Cheung, Tan Yonglin's words are more cautious: "Arong is one of my favorite singers. To be the pride of Hong Kong with him is what I dream of. But I haven't done enough now. Compared with Ah Rong and Ah SAM, I am far behind, and I still need to continue to work hard and settle down."

Seeing the two people acting like good friends, the reporters and crowd watching said, "This is not fun!"

Zhang Guorong said this because he didn't care whether he had opponents or not. He was not the kind of person who insisted on stepping on others.

Tan Yonglin is a little more utilitarian, but he has never done anything harmful in the 40 years since his debut, so he is still good in nature. Not to mention that he is not famous, even if he is popular, he will not become arrogant.

It sounds a bit subtle.

In his previous life, Tan Yonglin's path was extremely smooth. After returning from Treasure Island, he steadily became a new generation of singing god.

However, due to his character and luck, Zhang Guorong has been ups and downs, and it was not until 1984 that he gradually became prosperous.

During this period, the incomparably handsome Zhang Da took off his clothes and threw them under the stage when he was singing happily in a bar, only to be thrown back. How desperate do you think it made him?

Things are different now. Leslie Cheung is already the well-deserved No. 1 red singer in Hong Kong, while Tan Yonglin has become like he just debuted. The situation of the two has changed.

This is actually pretty good.

Zhang Guorong needs others to support and praise him. Just like a big boy, as long as this is satisfied, he will be his best friend and senior.

Tan Yonglin's character is beyond the reach of Leslie Cheung. Although he has to catch up with Leslie Cheung now, he is also playing steadily. Even if he encounters setbacks and difficulties, he cannot be as fragile as the young Leslie Cheung in his previous life.

It was also a trick of fate in the previous life, which caused the two people to switch places during their prosperous period, which triggered a "two kings struggle", causing the two great singers to withdraw from the selection of music awards one after another, and did not reach the height they should have.

By the way, there is also a poor man from the past life who will also release a new album in the next April.

He is Chen Baiqiang.

Chen Baiqiang was Zhang Guorong's good friend before he became popular. However, as Chen Baiqiang became more and more popular, Zhang Guorong gradually declined, and the relationship between the two began to fade.

It's not that Chen Baiqiang meant to put on airs, he was still willing to be nice to Zhang Guorong. The problem lay with Zhang Guorong.

He was very inferior and a little angry, so he took the initiative to alienate Chen Baiqiang.

Next, it was Leslie Cheung's turn to become famous, but Chen Baiqiang, who had always been melancholy and lonely, failed to adapt to the changes of the times and gradually declined.

Yin Jun still remembers the demeanor of Chen Baiqiang, who came to sing at Leslie Cheung's concert, which was really indescribable.

Both Chen Baiqiang and Leslie Cheung were born into wealthy families. Their personalities tend to be gloomy at heart, but they are very different.

There are people who like Zhang Guorong, and he is greeted with flowers and applause. He is the eternal little sunshine prince.

Chen Baiqiang is completely different. Even after he became famous and prosperous, he still had an unknown melancholy mood. This shy rich boy simply had a character that couldn't get high.

Chen Baiqiang is not Yin Jun's idol, but now that he has met him, Yin Jun will not let him go.

In this life, Yin Jun decided to let Chen Baiqiang, after struggling in the music industry for more than ten years, arrange behind-the-scenes work for him, such as record producer, etc., just like Zhang Yusheng.

If that doesn't work out, Chen Baiqiang can still go to the mainland to become a music teacher.

Don't underestimate being a teacher, it is a very edifying thing and can greatly help people's cultivation and character.

In the first album after joining Kirin Records, Yin Jun showed Chen Baiqiang a big move.

The album title is "Take Care of Tonight".

The title songs include "Take Care of Tonight", "The More You Kiss The More Sad", and "YeYeYeYe".

It goes without saying how important "Cherish Tonight" is in the Hong Kong music scene. Perhaps young people born after 2000 don't know how powerful it is, but it is definitely a song that accompanied the golden age of Cantonese in Hong Kong in the 1990s. classic.

If it weren't for the even more stunning song "What I Want in Life", which was blessed by the super hit TV series "Intolerance", this song would be Chen Baiqiang's masterpiece, even better than "I Just Like You".

It is no exaggeration to say that the 1983 "Cherish Tonight" established Chen Baiqiang's superstar status. Although Zhang Guorong began to emerge in 1984, he had to wait for two or three years before he dared to say that he was on an equal footing with Chen Baiqiang.

I think everyone is more familiar with the song "The More We Kiss The More Sad".

This is the most well-known song of Su Yongkang, the runner-up in the rookie competition four years later, and it is also the most popular song.

Well, Su Yongkang is somewhat similar to another good singer Li Kechun who was born at the wrong time. Li Kechun only had one song, "Red Sun", and "Midnight Serenade" was quite different.

If a singer can rely on one song for decades, then this song must have been tempered and tested by generations of people with different tastes. It will definitely be popular even now.

The last song "YeYeYeYe" is a very beautiful lyrical song written by Xiong Tianping to Qi Qin. Later he also sang it himself. Yin Jun felt that although Teacher Xiong was disabled in stature, he sang with a clear voice. This song is no worse than Qi Qin's, and it's even better.

Just hearing the name "YeYeYeYe", many people still can't react, but if they sing "You don't have to force yourself to say you love me anymore, anyway, my soul has slowly fallen, slowly pieced together, slowly pieced together." , pieced together into a piece that doesn’t belong to the real me at all...” Then everyone will be very familiar with it.

Because in the future music talent show era, the appearance rate of this song is very, very high.

With these three songs as the foundation for Chen Baiqiang, as well as other songs carefully crafted for him by music masters, Chen Baiqiang's album "Take Care of Tonight" will definitely be no less than the quality of Leslie Cheung and Tam Yonglin.

However, sometimes the quality of the album is important, but so is the reputation.

Leslie Cheung's name alone is enough to sell 500,000 more albums. This is the charm of him being the most handsome man in Asia (Korean media language).

Don't doubt it.

Many years later, when Wang Fei, the first Chinese-language queen, switched to a new record company at a sky-high price, the old record company rushed to produce an album with only 5 songs in order to squeeze out the last drop of oil. The result was that the album was still the same More than 1 million copies were sold.

This is the power of pop music superstars!

Therefore, Yin Jun estimates that the sales order of the three people's records should be Leslie Cheung, Chen Baiqiang and Tan Yonglin.

This is what Yin Jun is looking forward to.

It's not that the young man meant to treat Tan Yonglin badly, but Principal Tan had the most open-minded temperament, and a mere few years of catching up was nothing.

Of course, the gap mentioned here must be limited in the eyes of outsiders.

Since the emergence of the Hong Kong music scene in the 1970s with Xu Guanjie, Lin Zixiang and others, there have been few outstanding male singers in recent years.

Now Yin Jun has launched three male singers in one breath, and they are all super singers who have passed the test of later generations and can become talented. It is conceivable that in the future, they will be indispensable everywhere in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. They are indispensable for the popularity of Chinese songs.

Of course, it would not work if they were all Cantonese songs, so Yin Jun has a prescribed 12 songs in the albums of his two singers, half of which must be Mandarin songs.

Only by listening to Mandarin more, these fans will have more intimacy with mainlanders who speak Mandarin!
