Chapter 95 August I Am the King MV Shooting

August 1997.

Zhang Huimei swept the mainland music scene, and the song "Listen to the Sea" oppressed mainland singers. Wu Bai, Ren Xianqi, and Zhang Huimei competed for supremacy in Taiwan's music scene. Power Train, Fan Xiaoxuan, David Tao and other new forces in the Chinese music scene emerged. The Hong Kong music scene was also not peaceful.

Even...

As the holy land of the Chinese music scene, the battle in Hong Kong is more cruel and fierce than that in the mainland and Taiwan.

After "taking down" Zhou Huiming, Xu Chen was not in a hurry to leave. He had many friends in Hong Kong, and he called Zhang Guorong to ask him to help collect information about the Hong Kong music scene as of August.

Zhang Guorong brought a list and a bottle of red wine.

The night was cool as water in the Princess's villa on the hillside, and the sea breeze was blowing gently.

The list is a ranking list and sales record. Just looking at the list, the Hong Kong music scene in the second half of the year can be called the "battlefield of the gods"!

The Hong Kong music scene, like the mainland music scene, has to "promote songs", and the platforms for singers to promote songs are "Hong Kong Second Radio" and "Metro Radio".

As of August 10, the top ten of the "monthly rankings" and "weekly rankings" of Hong Kong Second Radio are only "Chinese pop king-level" singers.

1. Anita Mui, "Love You a Thousand Times.", sales of 420,000, first on the IFPI record sales chart.

2. Stefanie Sun, "Alluring.", sales of 410,000.

3. Miriam Yeung, "Goodbye Ni-chome.", sales of 380,000,

4. Karen Mok, Zhang Hongliang, "Hiroshima Mon Amour.", sales of 340,000.

"Four Heavenly Kings" Liu Defa and Aaron Kwok are both on the list, and Li Min and Zhang Xueyou's new songs will be released in September.

The goalkeeper is the successor of the "Four Heavenly Kings", Nicholas Tse, the song "Bad Habits", sales of 310,000, third on the IFPI record sales chart.

The Hong Kong music scene is small and sparsely populated, and a singer who has an album that has sold 4 platinum albums is considered a "first-tier" singer.

Xu Chen was somewhat surprised by Ting Ting's popularity, as he is worthy of being the successor of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the Hong Kong music scene, with sales that are not inferior to his predecessors, and even slightly superior.

Zhang Guorong rested his hands comfortably. He was in the top ten of the Chinese music scene. He was watching the wind and clouds with a smile. Xu Chen and Nicholas Tse were both very strong "newcomers". He teased, "Chenzi, your album is "Unparalleled in the World"..."

The album name was very domineering. Zhang Guorong laughed dumbly, "Chenzi, you really deserve a beating. Zhang Xueyou, Liu Defa, and Ye Qianwen's albums are all on the list. Be careful of being beaten up with such a domineering album name."

Seeing that Xu Chen didn't take it seriously, Zhang Guorong said meanly, "Nicholas Tse, who lost to you in PK, has an album sales of over 310,000. You won't lose to him~"

"..."Xu Chen was speechless. Zhang Guorong was very vengeful. It was just that he lost in mahjong last time and he was taking revenge here.

With his hands resting on his head, Xu Chen leisurely watched the moon.

The Hong Kong music scene will be in chaos in the second half of the year, but Xu Chen is very confident. There is no other reason...

This album is unparalleled in the world!

"Nicholas Tse can be destroyed with a snap of a finger. "Xu Chen is not looking down on Nicholas Tse. It is true that Nicholas Tse is very weak. His opponents are Zhang Xueyou, Liu Defa and other old four kings. He said proudly: "Old Zhang, I asked Sister Huiming to sing with me in my new album. I am confident that I can beat Zhang Xueyou, kick Limin, push Aaron Kwok and overpower Liu Defa. Do you want to play~"

"Sister Fei, sing with me, and Sister Huiming, play the drums for me, and ask Anita Mui to play a little song and Sally Yeh to play the piano~"

Xu Chen became more and more excited. If he could really put together a "king" lineup, the album would definitely be a legend in the Chinese music scene.

After all.

Zhang Guo Rong and Anita Mui are both the last singers in the Chinese music scene.

Xu Chen has thought about saving Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui, but it is impossible. Fate will not change, and the arrow shot will eventually hit.

Zhang Guorong has a gentle personality and speaks very venomously. He has seen many amazing singers, but none of them are as boastful as Xu Chen~

Alan Tam is not so arrogant~

Even...

He dare not say that he can surpass the "Four Heavenly Kings", after all, the "Four Heavenly Kings" are the last glory of the Hong Kong music scene.

Tucao: "Chenzi, you really deserve a beating, even more than Ah Fei, how did you convince Huiming? ”

Zhou Huiming officially announced her retirement in early August. Zhang Guorong admired Zhou Huiming very much, but it was a pity that Zhou Huiming was too obsessed with love. Xu Chen could hook up with Faye Wong and persuade Zhou Huiming.

I am not as good as Xu Chen in picking up girls.

"Just persuade~" Xu Chen glanced at Zhang Guorong and smiled evilly. After thinking for a while, he retorted to him: "Brother Zhang, you are not afraid that I will take your position, right? So, if my new album becomes the number one in the Hong Kong music scene in the second half of the year, how about you play drums for me? No, you have to help me persuade the old women Ye Qianwen and Anita Mui. "

"You want my position, I'll give it to you~" Zhang Guorong didn't care at all: "I feel bored and meaningless coming and going."

"You are not as good at singing as me, and you are not as good at mahjong as me, Lao Zhang, you are not good enough. "Xu Chen is disrespectful and doesn't care about joking with Zhang Guorong."

"...宫" Zhang Guorong sat up straight. The probability of Xu Chen beating the "Four Heavenly Kings" was zero. He laughed: "Chenzi, you said my singing is not good, but you said I am not good at mahjong . I accept this bet. You will lose. I want you to shout for three hours on the loudspeaker in Hong Kong Times Square..."

"I, Xu Chen, am not as good at mahjong as Zhang Guorong~"

"..."No wonder he is a mahjong friend with the princess. Xu Chen snorted: "It's a deal!"

"Chenzi, I am a guest after all. I don't even prepare two glasses for drinking~" Zhang Guorong brought a bottle of good wine. Xu Chen is not only the princess' boyfriend, but he was able to persuade Zhou Huiming to sing this time. His "retirement" is in name only. This bottle of wine is for celebration.

"The celebratory wine must be drunk when the success is "successful"!" Xu Chen rested his head with his hands on his head. The night view of the villa in the hillside is invincible, overlooking the entire Hong Kong Peninsula, the neon lights of the city, and the bright lights.

Sooner or later, the Hong Kong music scene will surrender to him. Xu Chen said confidently: "I will keep this bottle of wine for my next visit to Hong Kong to celebrate the success!"

"Okay." Zhang Guorong admired Xu Chen's high-spirited look. He saw his former self in Xu Chen.

…………

Xu Chen returned to the mainland.

As the Chinese music scene continued to release new songs and the war was spreading, his new album was closely promoted.

The "Central Broadcasting Station" list of the mainland music scene has been rotated several times. Zhang Huimei's "Listening to the Sea" was unstoppable and ranked first on the song request list.

Tengger's "Paradise" and Fu Disheng and Jia Ding's "Intimate Lover" have all fallen off the list several times, and they can't resist the attack of Hong Kong and Formosa.

That's right.

The top 20 Hong Kong radio stations are all frequent visitors to the mainland music list.

On August 15, 1997, mainland singer Tu Honggang's cover of the song "Loyalty to the Country" entered the "charts" for the first time.

This song is a hot song in Xu Chen's "Legend" album, and the topic and attention are high. Tu Honggang's "Loyalty to the Country" took advantage of Xu Chen's "Legend" and successively broke through the chrysanthemums of "Heaven" and "Intimate Lover".

Thanks to this, Xu Chen's version of "Loyalty to the Country" once again entered the charts, and he once again occupied two positions in the entire charts.

On August 20, 1997, Sun Nan, a former mainland "Mesozoic" singer, made a comeback with his new album "Save".

Sun Nan's reputation in the mainland was implicated by the black material of "Star Factory" excluding newcomers in the Chinese music scene. The former "Mesozoic" brother Sun Nan was widely ridiculed, and the new album "Save" was badly criticized by the media, believing that Sun Nan's talent was exhausted.

The result was unexpected. The title song of Sun Nan's new album "Save" was airborne on the charts in an unparalleled manner. It only took 72 hours to poke the chrysanthemums of Tengger's "Paradise" and Fu Disheng and Jia Ding's "Intimate Lover".

This song is especially popular in bars. Shichahai is full of "What can I do to save, when love is irreversible~"

On August 29, 1997, Tu Honggang once again bombarded the Chinese music scene with his new song "Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven". Because of the power of "Serving the Country with Loyalty", "Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven" once again poked the chrysanthemums of Tengger's "Paradise" and Fu Disheng and Jia Ding's "Intimate Lover".

The ten positions of the mainland "Central Broadcasting Station" rankings are left:

1. Zhang Huimei, Listening to the Sea

2. Liu Defa: Chinese.

3. Xu Chen: As I wished.

4. Ren Xianqi, too soft-hearted

5. Tu Honggang: Serving the country with all my heart

6. Sun Nan: Rescue

7. Xu Chen: Serving the country with all my heart

8. Tu Honggang: Borrow another 500 years from heaven.

9. Karen Mok: Hiroshima Mon Amour.

10. Wu Bai: Passive.

There is nothing wrong with this ranking. The mainland reversed the decline in early August and made a big comeback at the end of August, defending the attack of the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene.

The only thing that is a bit hard to accept is that the first and second places are occupied by Taiwan and Hong Kong singers respectively.

However, Liu Defa and Zhang Huimei are both T0 gods in the Chinese music scene. It is very amazing that Xu Chen can hold the top three as a newcomer.

The most amazing thing is...

The reporter accidentally discovered that the composer and lyricist of several songs on the list are all Xu Chen.

Tu Honggang's two songs "Serving the country with all my heart" and "Borrow another 500 years from heaven" and Sun Nan's "Rescue" are all written by Xu Chen.

Fuck.

The mainland music scene was shocked. Some time ago, the "Beijing music scene" excluded Xu Chen. At the end of August, Xu Chen announced in a domineering manner...

I am the king of the mainland music scene!

It reminds me of the "Beijing music scene" where one died (Wang Xing), one escaped (Aidajin), two were injured (Heaven), (Best Lover).

This situation clearly warns those with ill intentions in the mainland music scene: "Those who follow me will prosper, those who go against me will perish!"

The latest issue of "Contemporary Music", an authoritative newspaper in the mainland music scene, was written by the editor-in-chief. It is called a "report", but it is more like a "manifesto". In the article, it uses the name of "mainland music scene" to point the sword to the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scenes. The title is: "This album is unparalleled in the world!"

"The Chinese music scene in the mainland started the latest and has the weakest foundation. We have only heard of Hong Kong and Taiwan's kings and queens slaughtering the mainland, but we have never heard of mainland singers slaughtering Hong Kong and Taiwan. We are accustomed to it. There is no other reason. The weak are despicable. We have never thought that Xu Chen suddenly appeared and dominated the mainland music scene as a newcomer. He was the one who made the storm. I heard that Xu Chen's new album "Unparalleled in the World" is aimed at Hong Kong and Taiwan. Success or failure depends on this one move!"

Almost everyone in the mainland music scene agrees with this special report.

First, Xu Chen's new songs dominated the charts, and Tu Honggang and Sun Nan became popular again with their songs and became the stars of the mainland music scene.

Second, the mainland needs a sword-bearer to represent the mainland music scene. This was not expected before. The miracle created by Xu Chen gave the mainland music scene hope.

As time went by, newspapers became more and more enthusiastic and praised Xu Chen highly. For a while, Xu Chen became the representative of the mainland music scene.

Xu Chen was very annoyed.

He stayed in the recording studio these days. Except for Cantonese songs, almost all other Mandarin songs were recorded.

Cantonese songs had to wait for Zhou Huiming to come to the mainland, so his most important work during this period was...
