Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

"The four heavenly kings, except for Jacky Cheung who is a singer, the others are all clowns, don't hesitate to go on stage and compare!"

"Xiangjiang only has entertainment, no music!"

"..."

He Yong, one of the Three Heroes of Moyan, angered Hong Kong fans by his rude remarks in an interview with the media. At this stage, the fans of Hong Kong's four most popular four kings broke and tore up all the promotional posters and subway advertisements of the Hung Hom concert!

On the evening of December 17, 1994, fans of the Four Great Kings poured into the Hung Hom Stadium, preparing to smash the place for these bumpkins from the Mainland.

Of course, there are also some people who come to see how much a mainland rock singer who dares to be so arrogant is.

Not only fans, but also the top Hong Kong singers who are still active in the music scene, such as Four Heavenly Kings, Beyond, Lu Guanting, Lu Fang, etc., even Xu Cun, who just finished filming "A Chinese Journey to the West", brought a large group of his own who wanted to see Dou Wei, Zhang Chu, and He Yong have such powerful women here.

From Xu Cun's "creation" of "Nothing" in 1984 to this year, exactly ten years. These ten years are the ten years of rapid development of rock music in the mainland. It has gone through the initial embryonic stage and reached the current peak. Stage - After Xu Cun's roar, the rock and roll trend quickly swept across the mainland. During this period, young people roared to their heart's content in the waves of rock and roll, shouting out the most urgent voice in their hearts!

Xu Cun's high reputation in the film industry and business circles overwhelmed Xu Cun's achievements in the music world, especially in the rock music world - in the past ten years, Xu Cun's mainland rock music scene has been highly respected, if not for a long period of time Xu Cun No new works come out, Xu Zuo must have the status of Michael Jackson in the American music scene in the mainland rock music scene, including the entire mainland music scene!

Of course, this is also a hero created by the times-rock music corresponds to the development requirements of China at that time. At that time, the reform and opening up in the mainland had been five or six years old, and the promotion of personal value had become a concept recognized by many young people at that time, but Personal value was not recognized by the mainstream values ​​at the time, so in the field of art, it was natural to express it, and a lot of music at that time was still the original mainstream, and there were some foreign things, such as Deng Lijun's songs, that Sometimes it is very necessary to have a voice to shout out the things of the mainlanders themselves, so Xu Cun's "Nothing" and "No Place to Face" suddenly ignited the fire of rock and roll.

Realizing individualism, admiring personal value, shouting out a kind of dissatisfaction in my heart, and an attitude of not cooperating with the world, so that, in just ten years, there are Black Panther, Tang Dynasty, Cobra, Thousands of rock bands such as Breath, Zero, etc. became popular after Xu Cun, so the rock music in the mainland quickly reached a peak.

Tonight is the pinnacle of mainland rock music...

For the Hung Hom Rock Night, only the three main performers, Dou Wei, Zhang Chu, and He Yong, were booked, while the Tang Dynasty Band was invited to be the guest performer. The staff, the entire performance team has a total of 272 people.

The scheduled main performers are the same as the previous life, and have not changed, but there are many more people in the audience than the previous life. When Xu Cun knew that the Hung Hom Rock Night appeared as scheduled as in the previous life, Xu Cun specially sent I took a plane to Beijing and took a large number of well-known rock musicians, such as Cui Jian, Black Panther, Cobra, Breath, Zero Point, Zheng Jun, Xu Wei, No. 43 Baojia Street (Wang Feng's band), Zhou Xun and Dou Peng received Xiangjiang and let them witness this Hung Hom Rock Night with their own eyes, so as to leave some seeds of hope for Chinese rock music.

There is no concert like this day, no well-known idols, no gorgeous clothes, no one even brings the usual whistle and light sticks in Hong Kong concert performances - everyone came empty-handed, this is a No one has ever seen a show without knowing what to expect.

And Dou Wei, Zhang Chu, and He Yong even left a suicide note before they went on stage-in case they have an accident at the Hung Hom Stadium, all the income from this performance will be donated to charity.

Under the tit-for-tat confrontation between the singers and the audience, the Hung Hom Rock Night kicked off.

The first to appear is Dou Wei.

Dou Wei in the Black Panther period was younger, brighter, and more ostentatious. In the last life, most people missed Dou Wei in their youth. In fact, they were talking about Dou Wei in the Black Panther period—for example, "Don 't break my heart", "Land of Shame", these are the songs in the first album of the Black Panther.

At that time, Dou Wei’s songs were very nice, and had a wider audience - because from the lyrics to the melody to the arrangement, it was not difficult, simple, tough, clear, especially youthful, and could resonate with and appreciate many people .

but--

Tonight, Dou Wei sang "Advanced Animals", "Oh My Boy", "Sad Dreams", "Black Dreams" - all songs from Dou Wei's new album "Black Dreams".

Undoubtedly, Dou Wei in this period has achieved higher artistic achievements, but he is also inevitably more high-spirited. Since "Black Dream", Dou Wei has actually slowly become a minority.

"Contradictions, hypocrisy, greed, deceit. Fantasy, doubt, simplicity, fickleness. Strong, helpless, lonely, fragile, tolerant, angry, complicated, annoying, jealous, insidious, scrambling, complaining. Selfish, boring, perverted, adventurous. Lust, kindness, fraternity, sophistry. Ability to speak, emptiness, sincerity, money. Oh~~ my God, advanced animals! Hell, heaven, all in this world..."

The Hung Hom Rock Night started with "Advanced Animals", which is really too advanced-clear and cold, tough and tough. Although nervous, Dou Nan is still an upright and upright young man, which makes the audience who are about to smash the scene feel real for a while. Some can't do it!

Wang Fei, who was sitting next to Xu Cun in the audience, saw Dou Wei like this, for some reason, his eyes lit up—just this song made Wang Fei, who also knows music, admire Dou Wei, who is talented. man come!

The change in Wang Fei's eyes did not escape the eyes of Xu Cun, who has been paying attention to Wang Fei's changes since Dou Wei came to power. However, Xu Cun did not express anything about it for the time being.

After "Advanced Animals", it is "Oh Good".

When singing "Oh My Boy", Dou Wei, who was obviously a little nervous, even forgot the words - "There is no home where you can feel warm, and you are always worried and always afraid." This sentence is difficult for Dou to get over , He knew it himself, so he smiled embarrassedly.

but--

Dou Wei's small mistake did not affect Dou Wei's overall performance too much.

"The thighs of ants, ants, ants, locusts, the eyes of ants, ants, ants, dragonflies, the wings of ants, ants, ants, butterflies, ants, ants, ants, ants, ants, no problem, there are no more, no less, two acres and three points of land, sow in winter and summer I don’t grow anything, I don’t have a rainbow, I don’t have an ox or a plow, I only have an ax in my hand, I see the sun and myself when it’s cloudy, and I’m grateful when it’s sunny and rainy, when a friend comes to invite him to eat a piece of watermelon rind, an enemy Come and sneeze at them..."

After Dou Nan, Zhang Chu came on stage and sang four songs in a row: "The Lonely Man is Shameful", "God Bless the People Who Have Finished Meals", "Toilet and Bed", and "Ants and Ants".

Guitarist Cao Jun's strings became loose, and he continued to perform, which became more and more uncomfortable. Zhang Chu stopped singing to apologize, and asked to perform it again, and the audience applauded.

After the song "Ants and Ants" was finished, the audience who had come to find fault stood up unconsciously—under Dou Wei and Zhang Chu's performance with all their strength, they who came to disrupt the stage even forgot their original intention!

However, the Hung Hom rock and roll night will really go high, and it is still necessary for He Yong to appear on the stage.

He Yong also sang four songs in total - "The Girl is Beautiful", "Junk Dump", "African Dream", and "Bell and Drum Tower".

but--

He Yong, who performed exceptionally, contributed a wonderful performance in every capital, all of which were impressive.

The song "Girls Are Beautiful" is actually quite sexy-it expresses the complaints of low-level young men against money-worshiping young women, "I don't have a house or a car, so I can only take you to see the sunset on a bicycle.", The question at the end of the song is also flat-out thunderous: "Have a girlfriend, or raise a dog?"

He Yong was the first singer who interacted with the audience in the whole concert - when he sang about the beauty of the girl, He Yong not only yelled to the audience very consciously, "Girls from Xiangjiang, are you beautiful?" Sing together.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but He Yong’s guitarist, Deng Acura, who was in the Faces Band at the time, was a stage lunatic just like He Yong. He was so high when he came on stage—He Yong was wearing a sea soul shirt and a red scarf. From time to time, there will be a unicorn dance. Deng Acura, who has long hair thrown up to the sky and wears ultra-short pants with a large thigh exposed, is another scene of the concert. Together, these two people brought a flamboyant performance unprecedented in the history of country rock. In the middle, there is a section where He Yong sang so deeply that he actually squatted down and put the guitar under Deng Acura's crotch to play and sing. It's really... This is probably the meaning of the live performance.

When He Yong sang "Garbage Dump", tens of thousands of audiences danced and roared with their hands and throats. Among these people is Huang Qiusheng, who was promoted to the best actor last year with the movie "The Eight Immortals Restaurant: Human Meat BBQ Pork Buns".

When He Yong sang "African Dream", he wished the four heavenly kings a Merry Christmas, which made Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Zhang Xueyou, and Li Ming all face sinking, and even made the crazy audience scream!

Finally, "The Bell and Drum Tower" sung by He Yong pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a high level of ridicule-the song "Bell and Drum Tower" has the famous sanxian virtuoso, He Yong's father, He Yusheng. The old man sat on the bench with a sanxian in his hand, and played this rock song with his son at the Hung Hom Stadium. There was a very strange spark collided, which was inheritance and innovation. In addition, I have to mention Dou Wei, who plays the flute, standing there coldly and rebelliously, he is really like a jade. When He Yong introduced him, he came to his side to play with him. Dou Wei didn't play with him like Deng Acura, but continued to play his flute with a sinking face. The whole feeling of abstinence was very strong. Heart-pounding!

but--

Unlike the previous life where no one in Hong Kong had the strength to take the stage, in this life under the protection of Xu Cun, Huang Jiaju did not die last year. Therefore, Beyond, the number one rock band in Hong Kong, did not exist in name only.

It is precisely because of this that after He Yong left the stage, when the Tang Dynasty band should have come up to wrap up the rock and roll night, under the leadership of someone, the audience began to shout:

"Beyond!"

"Beyond!"

"Huang Jiaju!"

"Huang Jiaju!"

"Beyond!"

"Huang Jiaju!"

"..."

Huang Jiaju, who had been in the audience for a long time, waited for the members of the Beyond band. After hearing the shouts of the audience, they looked at each other and then went on the stage.

Seeing this, Zhang Ju of the Tang Dynasty band made a gesture of invitation, and then walked off the stage with the rest of the band, showing their demeanor.

"It's a night of rock and roll, it's useless to say it, and we give you "Glory Days"!"

After Huang Jiaju took the stage, he didn't talk nonsense, he sang "Glorious Years" directly, and then sang "I Really Love You" and "Broad Sea and Sky".

During this period of time, Beyond has been engaged in commercial performances to open up the market, so there is no good new work coming out, and they are on stage in a hurry, so, although they sang "Glorious Years", "Really Love You", " "Broad Sea and Sky" are the pinnacle works of Beyond, but in the face of Dou Wei, Zhang Chu, and He Yong, who impress the audience with their novelty and heart, they still have a slight disadvantage.

How can you not know if you win or lose when a master fights?

"The cultural nutrition from the rich mother earth can give people new vision and imagination. Tonight I saw the long-lost music essence. Mr. Dou, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. He let me discover a new line of communication with the soul, thank you!"

Huang Jiaju first affirmed Dou Wei, Zhang Chu, and He Yong's musical strength generously, and then said: "This rock and roll night, if there is one person who does not come on stage, then it must not be completely true... This person is who?"

"Xu Cun!"

"Xu Cun!"

"Xu Cun!"

"..."

If Huang Jiaju is only talking about music, then Xu Cun may not be the only option, but when it comes to rock, then Xu Cun is the only option, because Xu Cun is the "father of Chinese rock and roll"!

Hearing the audience's shouts, Huang Jiaju shouted: "That's right, this person is my mentor, Mr. Xu Cunxu!"

"Mr. Xu!"

"Mr. Xu!"

"Mr. Xu!"

"..."

This kind of fanatical occasion has no status, and Xu Cun also intends to show his women, especially Wang Fei, that his talent is higher than that of Dou Wei and the others!

So Xu Cun stood up slowly, and while unbuttoning his shirt, he walked slowly towards the stage...
