Chapter 171 The Male God Who Was so Popular that He Sang Two Songs at the Spring Festival Gala Mainland Golden Melody Awards

The more you lose, the more you understand what is precious, such as New Year's Eve, such as the Spring Festival Gala...

In 1998, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Tiger accounted for 58% of the total TV ratings in the country. Young people complained that they missed watching Pan Jinlian take a bath.

"Water Margin" was broadcast on CCTV on January 15, 1998. The scene was about the fork pole causing bad fate, and Ximen wanted to take Jinlian.

However, all major TV stations broadcast the Spring Festival Gala, and there was no way to watch Water Margin. Young people were nailed in front of the TV, scratching their ears and cheeks, like being in prison.

The first few singing and dancing programs were mediocre.

The crosstalk "Enjoying the Fruits of Others" by Niu Qun and Feng Gong was too heavy. Feng's iconic greeting: "I miss you so much" was changed to "I miss you so much, I pay my respects to you."

Fortunately, there were many funny moments.

"Sitting and Enjoying the Fruits of Others" reviewed the social news in 1997, such as Ke Shouliang's flying over the Yellow River, Ma's sports career, and Feng Gong's signature joke: "Can you still hold on while pulling a rickshaw?"

"Maybe I can hold on." Niu Qun sweated like a pulp.

Feng Gong sighed seriously: "You don't have the physical strength. Didn't you learn from the master before pulling the rickshaw?"

Niu Qun wiped his sweat with a white towel: "I did learn from the master. Don't you think my breathing is very rhythmic?"

"Wow!" Feng Gong stared: "It seems that you learned from the master's singing before!"

The young people in front of the TV laughed loudly. In 1997, Xu Chen was indeed a social news in the mainland, and he was in the newspaper every now and then.

The gossip about him, the princess, and Dou Wei supported most of the mainland entertainment reporters.

This happened to be a classic scene from "Water Margin". Friends and relatives sat around the stove, cracking melon seeds: "Xu Chen is Ximen Qing, right? This guy is handsome and can recite a good poem. His father is Wu Dalang, but he is really short. Poor father, he has been working hard in the music industry for half his life, but when he retired, he lost his wife and his status in the music industry."

"Nonsense, Xu Chen and the princess are a perfect match, but Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian are not. Besides, the princess got divorced and they fell in love."

"If you say a perfect match, then it's a perfect match. Zhou Huimin and I are also a perfect match."

"Anyway, it's a perfect match."

The two siblings stared at each other in front of the stove. After the skit "Sitting and Enjoying the Fruit of Their Own Fruit" ended, Xu Chen, dressed in a suit and tie, with outstanding temperament, walked with the princess, who was dancing in a white dress and gentle and quiet, under the bright stars of the Spring Festival Gala.

The violinist and pianist of the band played the melody, and the two held hands and looked at each other. The princess sang affectionately, and her clear and ethereal voice was as clean as water.

Compared with the previous programs that were so lively that they seemed noisy, "Legend" sung by Xu Chen and the princess gave the audience the first impression: the years are quiet and good.

He and she sang a song they wanted to sing at the Spring Festival Gala. This song is both the answer and the beginning.

After the song ended, the sister raised her mouth in front of the stove, squinting her eyes and humming: "Legend" was written by Xu Chen for the princess. You can tell whether they are a good match or not."

The brother looked at the backs of Xu Chen and the princess on TV and said, "If you say Xu Chen is a good match, I will admit it, but the princess is a good match, which is just a joke. She is not as beautiful as Zhou Huimin."

"Superficial, do you know talent? No wonder you don't have a girlfriend."

Such controversy is not uncommon in China tonight. As the stage with the highest ratings in the country, Xu Chen and the princess held hands to sing "Legend", responding to the right and wrong that entangled them in the first half of the year.

Many viewers gave their own opinions: "A talented man and a beautiful woman!"

Of course.

Some viewers also used this to educate their daughters.

For example, Mrs. Gao, who lives in the Yungang Aerospace Family Compound in Beiping, saw her "son-in-law" holding another woman on TV.

Mrs. Gao, who has experienced it, smiled and shouted: "The dead girl is out. This girl called Wang Fei sings very well. I heard that she is a Hong Kong queen. Your husband is going to marry her."

Mrs. Gao knew that the dead girl was obsessed with Xu Chen. She supported her daughter's star chasing.

After all, since her daughter liked this boy named Xu Chen, not only has her academic performance improved by leaps and bounds, but she has become more and more like an adult in her words and deeds, and she also knows how to respect her, the old mother!

But the dead girl is disrespectful and dares to bet with her that if Xu Chen is her son-in-law, the dead girl will be her mother, and she will be the opposite!

Mrs. Gao taught her daughter: "Dead girl, your mother will always be your mother, but your husband may not be your husband."

"Mom, say less." Gao Ming held the bowl and stopped chewing rice.

Too cruel!

My poor sister, no wonder she didn't eat her favorite roast meat as soon as the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast, and she hid in the house alone.

It turned out that the object of her secret crush took other girls to sing love songs on the Spring Festival Gala, and she was a queen.

Although my sister is quite pretty, compared with the princess, my sister is still too ordinary.

Gao Ming thought that his sister might be crying pitifully under the quilt, so he was ready to persuade her.

Think about it, there are so many girls who like Xu Chen, and you are not the only one who has broken up tonight!

Gao Ming walked to the door of his sister's bedroom, but Gao Yuanyuan opened the door from the inside. She was wearing delicate makeup and a white skirt. Gao Ming choked: "Little sister, you are smearing lime on your face during the New Year, and your eyelashes are as long as spider legs, and you don't wear socks. You will have cold legs when you get old."

"Humph, here's a red envelope for you." Gao Yuanyuan was too lazy to pay attention to Gao Ming.

Sitting in front of her mother, she offered a thick red envelope with both hands, and said in a well-behaved and sensible way: "Happy New Year, Mom. This is the first time I give you a red envelope during the Spring Festival. I hope you won't despise it."

"Oh, my daughter has really grown up and knows how to be filial to her parents." Father Gao held a small wine glass.

She took a sip and smiled happily: "It seems that the time film signed by my little sister is very good. She is more sensible than when she was in school, and her academic performance is also better. My dear daughter, do you have any red envelopes for daddy?"

"Yes, Dad, I bought you a down jacket." Gao Yuanyuan looked at the TV.

Xu Chen and the princess left holding hands. The little girl nuzzled her nose and gently tugged at the corner of Father Gao's clothes: "Dad, have you seen Xu Chen on TV? Can he be your son-in-law from now on? Mom agreed last time." Oh.”

"What am I..." Mrs. Gao touched the red envelope.

The dead girl makes more money in one year than in her whole life. She is very unfamiliar with her daughter, but she naturally said: "What's the use of my consent? It's useless to get Xu Chen's consent. His wife, the princess, must agree.”

The princess is the queen of the singing world, and her own daughter is just an ordinary little girl. What qualifications do she have to compete with the high-ranking queen of the singing world.

"Then Mom, you agree. Dad, do you agree or not?" Gao Yuanyuan's watery eyes looked pitiful.

"I agree." Father Gao smiled and said, "My dear daughter, Xu Chen is capable, capable, and promising. I definitely agree with him being my son-in-law. If you can really abduct Xu Chen and come to our house to be my son-in-law, dad is here." The Aerospace Academy has become embarrassed.”

Father Gao comforted his good daughter, how could she treat Xu Chen as his son-in-law, a big star and a little girl?

"Dad, Mom, you all agree." Gao Yuanyuan nuzzled the tip of her nose and laughed: "Don't underestimate your daughter, I will also be a big star in the future."

Mom and Dad, Xu Chen is your son-in-law now.

I will work very hard to grow up, and when I snatch him away, I will bring him to see you!

"Mom, Dad, I'm going to Hunan to record a program on February 8th, and then the movie "Love Malatang" starring me and your son-in-law will be released on February 18th. Then you should go and support your son-in-law. Ah!" Gao Yuanyuan smiled.

Comrade Xiao Xu becomes the son-in-law of Comrade Gao!

"Okay, okay, your mother and I are going to support your good daughter and your good son-in-law." Father Gao smiled fondly, saying that his good daughter has become successful.

On New Year's Eve, the whole family is reunited, and the fireworks are bright outside.

After a happy reunion, Xu Chen appeared on the TV again after a while, wearing a black Chinese tunic suit and a tall and straight figure, a handsome and unrestrained progressive young man of the Republic of China.

He sang his second song: "As You Wish".

When Xu Chen appeared on stage for the first time, Gao's father and mother subconsciously stared at him. After all, the good daughter kept talking about her son-in-law.

Although they didn't take it seriously, as fathers and mothers, they naturally paid attention. Father Gao held a small wine glass and said with a smile: "My dear daughter, you have really good eyesight. This boy Xu Chen is indeed handsome, energetic, and can sing well. I Seeing as he was the only one who sang two songs in the entire Spring Festival Gala, he is promising."

"Xu Chen is really a good young man. Everyone in the neighborhood is talking about him. The company signed by the dead girl must belong to him. This guy won't lie to the dead girl, right?" Gao Mu was more thoughtful.

Staring at the dead girl, Gao Yuanyuan chewed the chicken leg and smiled innocently: "Mom, look at your son-in-law, look at what I am doing."

Gao Mu looked at her carefully for a quarter of an hour. Her daughter looked like an untouched girl with yellow hair. She spat, "Silly girl, Xu Chen doesn't even want what you gave to Xu Chen for free."

"Slightly..." Gao Yuanyuan spat out her pink tongue and ate with her tail between her legs.

But we can't let our mother see the clues. For the future of Comrade Xiao Gao and Comrade Xiao Xu, we have no choice but to wrong Comrade Xiao Xu for the time being!

Xu Chen sang two songs at the Spring Festival Gala.

This incident caused a sensation in the mainland newspaper and media circles, and reporters were keenly aware of the news breaking point!

What the hell...

That was the Spring Festival Gala!

The most important stage in the country, a live broadcast for the Chinese people around the world and a population of 1.2 billion in the country. If ordinary people in the entertainment industry can go up and sing a song, it is a great event to honor the ancestors.

If you were in a rural area, you might be able to get a man’s highest honor—opening a family tree!

Xu Chen can sing two songs on such an important stage by himself. As a popular fried chicken in the Mainland, no one will object!

…………

"And I will love the world you love / dream of the reunion you dream of / I am holding your hand hobbling / taking you to tomorrow~"

Xu Chen held the microphone with one hand.

The song "Ruishi" is not easy to sing, let alone singing it live on a big stage like the Spring Festival Gala. To be honest, Xu Chen was under a lot of pressure.

Although the pressure is not small.

But he was not nervous and even enjoyed the stage. Whether it was the Spring Festival Gala or a bar, as long as he held the microphone, he would just sing.

After a whole performance of singing, vibrato, hollow sounds, sobs, and high notes, the accompaniment ended with the final syllable, and Xu Chen bowed deeply.

Bow not for the audience, but for the ancestors who shed blood and sweat,

The Spring Festival Gala stage was silent for two seconds, and then burst into warm applause. This time the applause was warmer than the applause for all programs.

Only Chinese people understand the power contained in the lyrics of "As You Wish". It is a romance that belongs exclusively to our blood.

Xu Chen finished singing two songs.

The journey of the 1998 Spring Festival Gala has come to an end!

Family reunion on New Year's Eve.

He was alone, and he didn't want to stay in the deserted villa, so he packed his luggage and prepared to go back to his small house in Yuyuantan.

The text messages on his phone were buzzing with messages of New Year greetings flying in from all directions. Xu Chen stared at one of them and replied thoughtfully: "I'm so tired, Sister Huimin. I'm too nervous to sing at the Spring Festival Gala. If Sister Huimin comes to sing at the Spring Festival Gala, You’re definitely not as nervous as me.0.0”

Xu Chen didn't expect Zhou Huimin to send him a message from Canada. After all, since she refused to reconcile with Ni Zhen, she also refused to communicate with Xu Chen.

Xu Chen didn't send Zhou Huimin a message. They should give each other time to sort out their thoughts and calm down.

In addition, Comrade Xiao Gao sent a silly text message: "Report to Comrade Xiao Xu, my father-in-law and mother-in-law praised their son-in-law for being handsome and powerful, but they didn't allow their daughter to go out to see her son-in-law. They are angry! Humph! Fortunately, I secretly hid the red envelope Comrade Xiao Xu gave them for 600 yuan. I will buy delicious food to reward you tomorrow. Comrade Xiao Xu has worked hard."

The little girl left a message at the end: "Love Comrade Xiao Gao, boo."

Xu Chen read the text messages one by one, and a warm current surged in his chest. Although he was alone, he was not lonely. He had many lovers and many people who loved him.

He was ready to go back to reply to the text message with his mobile phone in his pocket.

"Comrade Xu, please stay. Director Yang wants to see you for something." The staff called Xu Chen.

Xu Chen thought for a while, probably because Sister Tao told Yang Weiguang about the Golden Melody Awards in the Mainland. He rubbed his face and cheered up: "Hello, please take me there."

In 1998, the glory of Hong Kong music gradually faded, and Taiwan music rose. The power of the Chinese music scene fell from Hong Kong to Taiwan. The Mainland had nothing to do with it.

Since Xu Chen was elected as a representative of the Mainland music scene and crowned as the Mainland God of Songs.

He naturally did not want to be inferior to others and compromise. He did not want to experience the humiliation of the Hong Kong Top Ten Golden Songs for the second time.

If you want to control the discourse power of the Chinese music scene, awards are a mountain that cannot be avoided.

The Hong Kong Golden Melody Awards controlled the authority of the Chinese music scene in the past, and the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards controlled the authority of the Chinese music scene in the future.

Xu Chen is going to create a Mainland Golden Melody Award to seize power, and the authority of the Chinese music scene will be controlled by the Mainland.

The backstage lounge of the Spring Festival Gala.

Xu Chen met Yang Weiguang, the director of CCTV.

Yang Weiguang sat in the front row of the Spring Festival Gala this time, a proper guest watching the ceremony. He left before the Spring Festival Gala was over. Xu Chen's idea was really crazy.

If CCTV could come up with a mainland Golden Melody Award, it would have a great impact not only on the mainland music scene, but also on the situation across the Taiwan Straits and Hong Kong.

"Comrade Xu, please forgive me for delaying your return home to reunite with your family so late at night." Yang Weiguang was very polite.

He motioned Xu Chen to sit down and said with great concern: "Comrade Xu, your Spring Festival Gala performance went smoothly this time. Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Xu Chen understood very well and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "With Director Yang's care, who dares to embarrass me? People behind the Spring Festival Gala say that I am Xu Chen, a direct descendant of CCTV."

"Hahaha, Comrade Xu, you can indeed be called a direct descendant of CCTV."

When Xu Chen said this, Yang Weiguang stopped playing wit and asked directly: "Comrade Xu, how sure are you about your idea of ​​the Golden Melody Award in the Mainland? CCTV is going to establish the MTV Music Festival with the American MTV Global Music Radio. This award is for Chinese people all over the world. Comrade Xu, you are the only one in the mainland music scene who can speak in Hong Kong and Taiwan. What do you think of this award?"

The MTV Music Festival has failed in history. Its influence is dispensable in the Chinese music scene. It is a third-rate award, not even as good as the Music Billboard organized by Guangguang.

There are many reasons for the failure of the award, including the Peach Banquet, the water award, and the unreasonable review mechanism.

But in the final analysis, the influence of the mainland music scene is too small. The Hong Kong and Taiwan music scenes do not look down on the mainland awards. Similarly, the Chinese music scene does not recognize the awards issued by the mainland.

"Director Yang, MTV is an American radio station. We want to use the influence of Americans to make a Chinese program. I am not optimistic about the prospects of this music festival." Xu Chen sang the bad news of the MTV Festival.

MTV was founded in 1981. It is the latest pop music chart that young people pay attention to. Its parent company is Viacom.

One of the largest entertainment media in the world, it owns Paramount Pictures and Columbia Advertising Company.

But MTV's influence in Asia is very limited, especially in China. The mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan do not care about it at all. The reason is very simple. No one in the Chinese music scene can kill the European and American music scene.

It is simply not the same path.

"Yang Tai, I think we should learn from the Formosa Golden Melody Awards. The Formosa Golden Melody Awards were originally organized for the Formosa folk song movement, with the goal of revitalizing the Formosa music scene. Last year, the Formosa Golden Melody Awards opened up the qualifications for global Chinese to compete, preparing to become the authority of the Chinese pop music scene."

"The reason why the Formosa music scene did this is all because the Hong Kong music scene, especially the Cantonese music market, is in decline..."

"In the mainland, we can completely organize the Mainland Golden Melody Awards by the Chinese Music Association, major private record labels, and major music schools. As long as the prize money is high enough and the selection criteria are open, fair, and equitable, I am confident that it will become the authority of the Chinese music scene."

In the future music landscape, Xu Chen has four little kings Jay Chou and Tao Jiji under his banner, and the remaining JJ Lin and Wang Lihong are all targeting the mainland music scene.

Han Hong, who Xu Chen supports himself, will emerge in the future with the Pu Su and Yu Quan groups.

With his connections in the Chinese music scene, he can fully support the first Mainland Golden Melody Awards. There is no need to worry about the rest, as long as he is making great strides in the Japanese, Korean, European and American music scenes.

There is no way that the Mainland Golden Melody Awards will decline.
