The Hong Kong Coliseum held a concert that shocked the entire Chinese music scene.
Queen Zhong Yanhong was wearing an evening dress, bathing in the light of the setting sun, looking at the distant sky, and sang Cantonese classic old songs affectionately amidst the tears of fans.
The "Song of Thousands of Ques" at the beginning and the "Song of the Sunset" at the end seem to be a true portrayal of her ups and downs in her life. She not only sings all the joys and sorrows, but also sings all the spring flowers and autumn moons.
Countless people have lamented that an era has passed.
The glory of Xiangjiang was gradually sealed in memory and turned into history following Zhong Yanhong’s farewell.
During this year.
Zhong Yanhong does not see anyone, including close relatives and close friends. She no longer appears in any public places, and even the all-pervasive media reporters cannot find any information about her.
But the rumors about her have not stopped.
Some people said that her operation was very successful and she has been recuperating for the past year. Some people said that she had aged a lot, as if she were ten years older and could not even walk. Some people said that her throat was completely destroyed and she could no longer sing.
It can only make an unpleasant sound of babbling.
The end of an era always makes people sigh endlessly.
Her farewell seems to have taken away a lot of luck in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong...
Not only is the talent in the Hong Kong music scene withering away, but for a full year, there has not been any singer who has sold more than 50,000 physical albums.
On the other hand, mainland China has given birth to "quasi-diva" singers like Song Qianqian and Jiang Shushu, and their album sales even shocked the entire Chinese music scene.
Among them, Song Qianqian's two albums, "Invisible Wings" and "Girl with Wings", had a total sales of more than one million as of August 17, and she has officially embarked on the glorious road to compete for the "Queen of Heaven" throne.
The passing of the old era and the rise of the new era.
Those old times and those people in memory will eventually become the glorious history to be remembered and the subject of conversation after dinner.
However, no one could have imagined that a movie or a song would make Zhong Yanhong, who had disappeared for more than a year, reappear in everyone's eyes.
"Who is knocking on my window?
Who is playing the strings?
That forgotten time
Gradually it came back to my heart..."
When Zhong Yanhong's avatar appeared again at the top of Qgou Music, and firmly dominated all the singers behind...
When familiar sounds are played in the streets and alleys, nostalgic melodies echo in the sky above the bustling streets and alleys...
When [Zhong Yanhong Limited Edition Commemorative Album] appeared at the gradually declining audio and video product stalls, it set off a rush to buy...
…
People realized that the former queen's throat was not completely ruined. Not only was she not completely ruined, but she was still as affectionate and gentle as before, like old wine, full of mellow aroma that makes people savor it carefully.
""The Forgotten Time" was written by Zhou Yang again!"
"Not only was "The Forgotten Time" written by Zhou Yang, but all the arrangements in "Infernal Affairs" were written by Zhou Yang alone!"
"How many songs has he written!"
"Oh my god!"
"Not only does he dominate Weibo, but he also dominates Qgou Music. Damn it, all the top ten songs on the list are songs written by Zhou Yang!"
"It's so scary!"
But more people stared at the astonishing hot searches on Weibo and realized that a new era was coming...
They were featured on Q Dog Music.
I was shocked to discover that the music album that topped the list was the electronic version of "Zhong Yanhong Limited Edition Commemorative Album". The most clicked and best-selling song in the album was "The Forgotten Time", followed by "Qian Qian Que Song" and
"Song of the Sunset".
As for Qgou Music, the second album on the list is the digital album "Infernal Affairs Original Soundtrack". The most clicked and played album is "Goodbye Police", while the pure music "Infernal Affairs" at the beginning of the movie has been praised by countless fans.
Considered to be the weirdest music of 2007, it actually ranked an astonishing third in terms of clicks.
The song ranking list is even more amazing!
The top ten songs on the music list are all songs written or sung by Zhou Yang...
Completely blasted all new songs of EXC group.
“Music Circle!”
"The hell is going to change!"
"Actually, things have changed a long time ago. Ever since "Girl with Wings" came out, the entire music scene has changed!"
"..."
Countless fans kept exclaiming!
……………………
August 11th.
Morning.
Countless movie people in the film industry can't sleep.
The emergence of "Infernal Affairs" disrupted all their rhythms, and the group of filmmakers headed by "Night Walker" were even more sleepless.
[Xiao Zhou, please listen to my uncle’s advice. Those in the relevant departments are encouraging you to set up such an association. They want you to fight with the association to achieve a certain balance. I don’t want you to go astray... I’ll tell you the truth.
Let me tell you, unless every movie you make next is a hit, otherwise... your end will be miserable!].
Living in this era is actually very painful.
In Zhou Yilin's mind, the words he said to Zhou Yang a year ago were still echoing in his mind.
At that time, he felt that he was doing Zhou Yang's good with his sincere words.
At that time, he felt that what he said was from the standpoint of an elder. Although he didn't like Zhou Yang, he still acted like a smiling tiger who would not offend both parties.
At that time, although he would not offend Zhou Yang head-on, he had already sentenced Zhou Yang to death in his heart. After all, there were many cases in history where lessons learned that "being too strong" would lead to failure.
It is really unwise for Zhou Yang to offend all the directors of the older generation.
But after "Infernal Affairs" was released, Zhou Yilin realized that he seemed to be wrong, even though this feeling was extremely nonsense.
In the villa.
A ray of sunshine shines in the study room.
Zhou Yilin drank tea, enjoying the faint fragrance of the tea, and glanced at the assistant next to him.
"Have the box office results of "Infernal Affairs" not been released yet?"
"Not out yet!"
"How much did Nightcrawler cost at the box office?"
"Thirteen million."
"How many?"
"Thirteen million!"
"Where is "Our Motherland"?"
"Eight million……"
The box office numbers for "Nightcrawler" nine days after its release are extremely disappointing.
The box office figure of 13 million is still very good, but it is definitely not the figure that a blockbuster movie should have.
This film covers almost all the famous artists from the three places across the Taiwan Strait, as well as the behind-the-scenes guidance of many veteran directors...
In fact, he is one of them, who specially revised the movie's script and made certain adjustments to the plot to make the characters more fleshed out and the scenes more grand.
Everyone has high hopes, and so does he.
However, the final data obtained after placing high hopes was very disappointing.
August 1st.
This is a very awkward time.
"Our Motherland" became popular through Grandma Zhang Xia's "My Motherland". Driven by the main theme, it continued to occupy the film schedule of "Night Walker".
I thought that after the popularity of the movie "Our Motherland" faded, "Night Walker" would be revitalized, but no one expected that the emergence of "Infernal Affairs" would make the situation of "Night Walker" even worse.
"This movie was made in the wrong era."
"The right time, right place, right people, and all are occupied by Zhou Yang!"
"The next era will be the era of Zhou Yang's rule, right?"
"There is no room for other movies to survive... In fact, "Night Walker" has been spending money to buy hot searches on Weibo, but it is of no use at all..."
"I can't even rank eleventh on Weibo. It's so sad!"
The assistant was very sorry.
Anyone who sees the box office data of "Night Walker" will sigh quietly.
He became extremely complex.
Anyone who has seen with their own eyes how Zhou Yang went from being an unknown poor boy to suddenly stepping onto the Berlin International Film Festival Awards Ceremony and then rising up all the way will find it incredible.
However, no matter how incredible the fact is, it is also a fact.
"You asked Jiang Ge to go into the fire and risk his life to save others? If he dared to try this, he would also be on the hot search..."
Zhou Yilin watched the news, then smiled bitterly, and finally could only shake his head.
The assistant opened his mouth.
In the end there was only silence.
Living in this era, it’s so fucking nonsense.
At this moment, his cell phone rang. He looked at the content on the phone for the first time, and then opened his mouth wide.
"Oh my God!"
In the study room.
He couldn't help but cursed, and then he gasped for air. He felt his head was buzzing, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
"What's wrong?"
"The box office of "Infernal Affairs" exceeded 30 million on its opening day! Damn it, "Night Walker" didn't reach 700 million, but "Infernal Affairs" should have exceeded 700 million!"
"..."
The assistant's shocked voice echoed in Zhou Yilin's ears.
Zhou Yilin was shocked after receiving the box office data, and then lowered his head.
He didn't seem to be shocked. He seemed to be extremely calm after seeing the data, as if everything was as expected.
There was silence in the study for a long time.
He slowly opened the drawer, seeming to be considering something.
After thinking about it for a long time, he took out a form.
Under the even more shocked gaze of the assistant, he lit a cigarette, took out a brush and wrote down the information on the form.
……………………
"Xiao Zhou!"
"I am Zhou Yilin, your brother Zhou..."
"I have filled out the application form for the "Chinese Young Directors Association" and have it sent to your association's email address. If you think it's appropriate, just go ahead..."
"Of course, please keep this matter a secret. Don't make any public announcements. It's better to keep a low profile."
"I actually long for being with young people. When I am with you young people, I feel like I am still a teenager..."
"..."
Hospital.
Wang Jing and other staff members who mobilized a large number of people must hospitalize Zhou Yang for observation.
Zhou Yang really couldn't control everyone, so he, who thought he was not sick, was finally bandaged again and was "forced" to lie down in the hospital to rest.
However, there is one thing to say...
Living in the hospital is quite comfortable. He had a good sleep yesterday and woke up feeling refreshed.
Then……
After getting up, before he had breakfast, he received an incredible phone call.
