January 17, 1994, backstage at the performance at Hung Hom Coliseum, Hong Kong.
Because there were so many performers, the place was so packed that there was almost no room to stay.
In another time and space, there were only three main performers at Hung Hom Rock Night: Dou Wei, Zhang Chu and He Yong. The Tang Dynasty Band was invited to perform as guests. There were 7 people from the mainland who went to Hong Kong, but in addition to those working in Hong Kong and Taiwan
The entire performance team has a total of 7 people.
Now that Kang Jianfei is a big benefactor, the scale of the concert has expanded again. It not only includes the Dreaming Band (Dou Wei), the Sting Band (Zhang Chu), the Newsboy Band (He Yong), the Tang Dynasty Band, the Black Panther Band, Zero Point
The band and many other mainland rock groups, as well as Beyond and Tai Chi from Hong Kong, Chang Chen-yue and Wu Bai from Taiwan, the total number of cast and crew members at the concert was as many as 50.
This is definitely not a commercial performance, because even if all the tickets are sold, Kang Jianfei will lose more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars.
Backstage at the performance, Dou Wei was sitting in the corner, wearing headphones and listening to the song. Not far from him was the Black Panther band, but the two parties hadn't said a word in the past few days because they had already fallen out.
Dou Wei was once the main creator and lead singer of the Black Panthers. The band's album "Black Panther" set a rock record sales record by selling 1.5 million copies two years ago. The song "Don'tBreakMyHeart" even topped the list of Hong Kong commercials.
Radio chart topper.
Unfortunately, after becoming popular, Dou Wei had too different ideas with other members. He quit and re-formed the Dreaming Band, while the members of the Black Panther Band were busy holding concerts to make money. Last year, the Black Panther Band toured in more than 0 cities in mainland China
, and made a lot of money.
By the way, the Black Panthers were originally going to be signed by JVC Records at the beginning of this year, but they were signed ahead of time by Ye Zipei’s Xiongfei Records.
"Brother, are you nervous?" He Yong came over and asked, handing Dou Wei a cigarette.
"A bit." Dou Wei took the cigarette and started puffing away.
Although the two of them looked dismissive and careless, they attached great importance to this concert and felt grateful to Kang Jianfei in their hearts.
For this performance, Dou Wei and He Yong both cut their long hair.
Dou Wei has a crew cut, and he even bought a suit. He was wearing a shirt, a watch, and leather shoes. He looked like he was attending a business meeting, not a rock concert.
He Yong's hair was cut above his ears, but his bangs and hair on the back of his head were very long. It was the kind of standard student hairstyle that one could get away with without being stopped by the dean at the school gate. The most cruel thing was that he was wearing a Haihun shirt.
, wearing a red scarf on his chest, dressed like a socialist successor.
The backstage of the performance was obviously crowded, but many singers were smoking. The smoke everywhere was like a fairyland. This made Mr. He feel a little uncomfortable and he could only run to the door to get some fresh air.
Mr. He is actually not old, only about 50 years old. He is He Yong's biological father and the troupe's sanxian master. Today he is wearing a green gown, and his style is incompatible with a lot of rock singers.
Wang Feng and his band did not come, mainly because the quality of the songs was not up to standard, and classmate Wang felt very frustrated about this.
"Pap-pap-pap!"
The assistant director of the concert came in and clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, get ready, the performance will officially start in 15 minutes."
...
Although the Hong Kong Coliseum is very famous, the venue is actually not large and can only accommodate more than 10,000 spectators.
The seats were packed today. Many of the audience came for Beyond and Tai Chi Band, and they are also familiar with Black Panther Band. As for the other singers, haha, Hong Kong fans have never even heard of them.
The concert had not yet started, and the auditorium was noisy. Suddenly, a light swept across the first few rows, followed by the live cameras, and the faces that appeared on the big screen made the whole venue a sensation.
The audience in the first two rows are all big stars!
Kang Jianfei, Zhou Huimin, Zhou Runfa, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Carina Lau, Lai Ming, Aaron Kwok, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Priscilla Chan, Wang Fei, Lin Zixiang, Ye Qianwen, Hong Jinbao, Huang Qiu Sheng, Teddy Robin, Luo Dayou... enough
There were more than 50 celebrities in the audience.
In another time and space, at the Hung Hom Rock Night in Hong Kong in 1994, the four kings of Hong Kong were also present.
Before the concert, when He Yong was interviewed by a Hong Kong reporter, he once said: "Except for Zhang Xueyuan who can sing, the other four kings are all clowns."
Such shocking remarks caused a huge sensation in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and He Yong was even sprayed with blood by the fans of the Four Heavenly Kings.
In this world, He Yong is still dancing like that. There are many live audiences today, all waiting to see He Yong make a fool of himself.
Soon the concert officially started. There were no backup dancers today, and not even the emcee showed up. The performance hall went dark. After the staff brought the instruments up, the emcee shouted in the darkness: "We invite Wu Bai from Taiwan, "Ronin"
love song"!"
"Don't miss you anymore, don't love you anymore, let time fly by quietly and erase our memories..." Wu Bai walked onto the stage holding his guitar and sang a soulful song with a broken voice.
This is pop rock, and its only function is to warm up the show. Ordinary fans may like it very much, but today's live audience is mostly rock enthusiasts and do not buy this song.
Just when the fans were disappointed, the emcee began to announce again: ""Continue to Fall"!"
"Oh, drink! Oh! Let, sGo!"
Wu Bai strummed the guitar crazily and suddenly sang: "Put it harder, you say it, you say it, go forward, you say it, you say it, there is no problem, you say it, you say it, there is no excuse, you say it, you say it... You are you, I am
I have no right or wrong. I have half the sky during the day and at night, and I continue to fall!"
The personal style of this song was obviously more intense, and the emotions of the audience began to be slowly aroused. At the end of the song, Wu Bai raised his hands and started to beat time, and some of the audience also followed suit. His performance was finally recognized by the audience.
Wu Bai's last song is "Lilliput". At first glance, this song sounds like a fairy tale, but if you taste it carefully, you can detect the political meaning in it. It criticizes various current situations in Taiwan, and is kind of like Mr. Lu Xun.
The self-mockery and helplessness of hiding in a small building and becoming one.
It's a pity that this song is not very famous. It was the first time for all the audience to hear his singing and it was impossible to fully understand the meaning. The live effect was not as good as the previous song.
After Wu Bai's performance, the next performer was Zhang Chenyue. The reason for choosing them to attend the concert was simple, because Magic Rock Records only signed two of them in Taiwan.
The first song Zhang Zhenyue sang was "Listen to the Music Loudly". After listening to it, He Yong in the background said disdainfully: "What the hell are you singing? It's so childish!"
It is indeed childish. Zhang Chenyue's style is still in the exploratory stage. This pop-oriented saliva song is sung for kindergarten children in the eyes of mainland rock singers.
After singing two songs, he stepped off the stage. The audience was very disrespectful to Zhang Chenyue, and only very sparse applause could be heard.
At this moment, the emcee announced: "We invite Dou Wei, Dream Band, "Advanced Animals"!" (To be continued)
