According to statistics afterwards, there were about 500 chairs in Hung Hom Stadium that were damaged on the night of the rock concert.
Some were smashed by excited fans, and some were broken by fans standing on chairs and jumping around. For this reason, Kang Jianfei had to pay for compensation, and the media reported the grave of Death as an interesting story.
The 20 years later, the post-95s and 2000s may be hard to imagine the sensation that year. Even if you look for those songs to listen to, you will think that's just that. But it really happened. He Yong, Dou Wei and Zhang Chu became famous overnight and were called the "Three Heroes of Demon Rock" by those who are flirting.
Oriental Music Group naturally won’t miss this good opportunity. The three-person record entered the Hong Kong market, and the albums of Tang Dynasty, Zero Point and Black Panthers all sold tens of thousands of copies in Hong Kong.
In Taiwan, UFO Records also deliberately promoted this event and promoted Wu Bai and Zhang Zhenyue, making these two newly emerging newcomers quickly become famous.
As for the mainland, it is even more amazing. With the deliberate promotion of Xiong Fei Records and Mo Yan Records, more than 20 newspapers and magazines have reported on the Hung Hom Rock Night in succession. It is so scattered that it is so popular that it wants to say in the article that Hong Kong people worship mainland rock. Under such terrifying publicity, a sense of pride and inferiority complex has caused many Chinese people to buy the records of the Three Heroes of Mo Yan.
Next was a national tour, but due to market size limitations, it was a small venue with thousands of people.
At the beginning, everyone was still very passionate and excited, thinking that the golden age of rock was coming, but things happened soon.
First of all, Dou Wei gave up. After eight consecutive tours, this guy felt that the performance was too monotonous and tired, thinking that it took up his time in creation and life, and strongly demanded that the tour end.
Then Zhang Chu and He Yong said they would not play anymore and they would have to rest for a while before talking. They were not used to such high-intensity continuous performances, and even if they had money, they didn't want to make money.
There is no way, Xiongfei Records can only find change points and Black Panthers to play the stage, and announced to the public that the three heroes of Magic Rock are devoted to creating new works.
At the same time, the three of them strongly resisted the company's star brokerage system. Although they had exclusive agents, they did not contact them at all and often refused activities arranged by their brokers. This situation made Zhang Peiren very troubled.
To put it bluntly, Dou Wei and the other two are very noble in their bones and are unwilling to be used as the company's money-making machine.
Their ideal state is that if I write songs, I will write songs, promote them, and publish them. If you have money, everyone will make money together. As for those messy business activities, if you like them, you will participate. If you don’t like them, don’t bother me.
The most outrageous thing is that in order to save face, they have participated in various underground performances privately on their backs with the company and agents. This behavior seriously violates the artist contract!
Zhang Peiren did not notify Kang Jianfei of the specific situation and personally spoke patiently to the three of them. However, the effect was not very obvious. Dou Wei and the others just restrained a little and still did their own way when they violated the contract.
Banned?
Haha, I spent so much energy and money on promotion in the early stage, but I haven’t made any money back yet, so how could I easily ban it?
These guys who do rock are gone.
However, one thing is worthy of joy, that is, rock music is crazy popular in the mainland, from a niche to a popular music that can be put on the table. Even the sketches of this Spring Festival Gala this year were used to make rock music and make fun of it, which shows how popular this thing is in the mainland.
Countless young people in their twenties have become loyal rock fans. Various rock bands have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. These bands are of varying quality. While high-quality products are emerging, news such as rock singers fighting and ke medicine and lan fighting are also emerging one after another.
The entire rock circle is showing a pathological chaos of development, and no one can regulate or reverse the situation.
Compared with the popularity of rock and roll, the Hong Kong Christmas film market this year seems a bit sluggish.
Although Wang Jing brought Zhou Runfa and Qiu Shuzhen to "Game God 2" starring Zhou Runfa and Qiu Shuzhen, it achieved an amazing box office of 52 million, the results of other films are very ugly.
Among them, Jiahe and Li Lianjie collaborated again with a box office of 14.87 million, and actually won the second box office for this year's Christmas. As for the third place, it was a gay film called "Three Loved Boys", with a box office of 9.45 million.
The fourth place down is also related to Fatty Wang. Although he was not directed by him, he was produced by Wang Jing Studio. The title of the film "The Fall of Hong Kong" was 4.98 million yuan.
After the box office of the Christmas season was counted, all Hong Kong filmmakers took a breath.
This is Christmas!
Movies with less than 5 million box offices can even rank fourth, while those with third place are less than 10 million box offices.
Fall out!
Hong Kong films are completely disappointing!
"Red Rose and White Rose" directed by Kwan Jinpeng was first released in Taiwan, and was taken back to Hong Kong for Christmas before being released. Although this film was very glorious at the Golden Horse Awards, the box office was a bit ugly, so it was only 1.8 million.
What’s even worse is that the box office of "Red Rose and White Rose" with a box office of 1.8 million is actually ranked seventh in the box office during the Christmas season. The sixth place in the front box office is more than 3 million, and the fifth place is barely sold for 4 million.
The entire Hong Kong film industry was collectively confused, and this situation made everyone dare not shoot movies anymore.
The small cinemas could not hold on first, and fell into an embarrassing situation where there was no film to play, and even if there was a film to play, they lost money. So at the end of 1994, Hong Kong once again set off a wave of cinema closures.
By the time of New Year's Day in 1995, there were only 108 cinemas left in Hong Kong, which was nearly half the number of cinemas at its peak.
At this moment, three blockbusters were released one after another. They were produced by Jiahe, Cheng Long's "Red Fan District", Oriental Dream Factory, Zhou Xingchi's "A Chinese Odyssey: Moonlight Box" and Yonggao, Xu Chuwen's "The Rich World".
Xu Chuwen, the former cold-faced laughing craftsman, obviously completely unable to keep up with the times. The box office of "The Rich World" was only 7.6 million.
"American Journey to the West: Moonlight Box" has a box office of 25 million, but this is starring Zhou Xingchi. In the past two or three years, the box office of the film starring Zhou Xingchi has not been lower than 35 million in the local area, and the box office of 25 million can only be said to be booming!
In the bleak New Year box office, only Cheng Longliang was like a fireflies in the dark, so eye-catching.
"Red Fan District" box office, 56.9 million!
Zou Wenhuai and others breathed a sigh of relief. Jiahe has just been launched. Once Cheng Long's movie fails again, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
Fortunately, Cheng Long saved the scene. After the box office of "Red Fan District" came out, Jiahe's stock price rose rapidly, making the shareholders' legs unable to close.
Chapter completed!
