945 [End of 1994]

According to subsequent statistics, more than 500 chairs at the Hung Hom Stadium were damaged on the night of the rock concert.

Some were smashed by excited fans, and some were trampled by fans standing on the chairs and jumping around. Kang Jianfei had to pay for compensation, and the media reported it as an interesting incident.

0 years later, those born in 1995 and 2000 may have a hard time imagining the sensation back then. Even if they listen to those songs again, they will feel that it is nothing more than that. But it really happened. He Yong, Dou Wei and Zhang Chu sang together in one night

He was so famous in Xiangjiang that he was called the "Three Heroes of Magic Rock" by those who did good things.

Naturally, Oriental Music Group would not miss this good opportunity. The trio's records entered the Hong Kong market, and albums by Tang Dynasty, Zero Point and Black Panther all sold tens of thousands of copies in Hong Kong.

In Taiwan, UFO Records also deliberately promoted this event and praised Wu Bai and Zhang Chenyue, making these two newcomers quickly become famous.

As for the mainland, it’s even worse. Under the deliberate promotion of Xiongfei Records and Magic Rock Records, more than 0 newspapers and magazines have reported on the Hung Hom Rock Night. The hype is so high that I wish I could say in the article that Hong Kong people bow to me

Worshiping mainland rock music, under such terrifying publicity, a mixture of pride and inferiority complex has caused many Chinese people to rush to buy the records of the three masters of Magic Rock.

Then there will be a nationwide tour, but due to market size restrictions, it will only be in small venues with a few thousand people.

At the beginning, everyone was very passionate and very excited, thinking that the golden age of rock and roll was coming, but things soon started to go wrong.

First of all, Dou Wei gave up his career. After eight consecutive tours, this guy felt that the performance was too monotonous and tiring. He believed that it was taking up time for his creation and life, and strongly requested to terminate the tour.

Then Zhang Chu and He Yong said they stopped playing and wanted to rest for a while. They were not used to such high-intensity continuous performances, and they didn't want to make money even if they had money.

There was no other way, Xiongfei Records could only find some odd points and the Black Panther Band to perform, and announced to the public that the three heroes of Moyan were concentrating on creating new works.

At the same time, the three of them also strongly resisted the company's celebrity management system. Although they were assigned exclusive managers, they did not contact them at all and often refused activities arranged by the managers. This situation gave Zhang Peiren a headache.

To put it bluntly, Dou Wei and the others are very noble at heart and do not want to be used as the company's money-making machine.

Their ideal situation is that I write songs and create them, you help me record songs, help me promote them, help me distribute them, and we all make money together. As for those messy business activities, if you like it, just go and participate, if you don’t like it, don’t

Come and bother me.

The most outrageous thing is that for the sake of face and friendship, they secretly participated in various underground performances behind the backs of their companies and managers. This behavior seriously violated the artist contract!

Zhang Peiren did not inform Kang Jianfei of the specific situation, but came forward to talk patiently with the three of them in person. However, the effect was not very obvious. Dou Wei and the others only restrained themselves a little, and continued to go their own way even when they violated the contract.

Blocked?

Haha, I spent so much energy and money on promotion in the early stage, and I haven’t even made the money back yet. How can I block it so easily?

These guys who are doing rock music are out of control.

But one thing worth cheering for is that rock music is wildly popular in the Mainland, turning from a niche to a popular music that can be put on the stage. Even the skits at this year's Spring Festival Gala used rock music to make fun of people, which shows that this thing

How popular are children in the mainland?

Countless young people in their teens and twenties have become loyal rock fans. In big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, various rock bands have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

There are also endless news about making love.

The entire rock circle is showing a kind of pathological chaos, and no one can regulate and reverse the situation.

Compared with the popularity of rock and roll, this year's Hong Kong Christmas movie market seems a bit sluggish.

Although "God of Gamblers" starring Zhou Yunfa and Qiu Shuzhen was brought in by Wang Jing, it achieved an incredible box office of 5 million, but the results of other films were very ugly.

Among them, "Fist of Heroes", the collaboration between Jiahe and Li Lianjie again, had a box office of 14.87 million, and it actually ranked second in the box office of this year's Christmas season. As for the third place, it was a GAY movie called "Three Loves"

"Youth", with a box office of 9.45 million.

The fourth place further down is also related to Fatty Wang. Although it was not directed by him, it was produced by Wang Jing Studio with the title "The Fall of Hong Kong" and a box office of 4.98 million.

When all the box office numbers for the Christmas season were compiled, all Hong Kong filmmakers took a deep breath.

This is the Christmas season!

Movies with a box office of less than 5 million can actually be ranked fourth, and the third place box office is less than 10 million.

Hit the street!

Hong Kong movies are completely on the street!

"Red Rose, White Rose" directed by Kwan Jin-peng was first released in Taiwan, and then it was released in Hong Kong at Christmas. Although this film was very successful at the Golden Horse Awards, the box office was a bit ugly, only 1.8 million.

What's even worse is that "Red Roses, White Roses" with a box office of 1.8 million is still ranked seventh at the Christmas box office. The sixth place in front of it has a box office of more than 1 million, and the fifth place barely sold 4 million.

The entire Hong Kong film industry is collectively confused. This situation has made everyone afraid to make movies anymore.

Those small theaters couldn't hold on at first, and fell into the embarrassing situation of having no films to show, and losing money even if they had films to show. So at the end of 1994, Hong Kong once again set off a wave of cinema closures.

By the time after New Year's Day in 1995, the number of cinemas in Hong Kong had only 108, nearly half the number at its peak.

At this time, three blockbusters were released one after another. They were "Red Zone" produced by Jiahe and Cheng Long, "Moonlight Box" produced by Zhou Xingchi and produced by Oriental DreamWorks, and "Wealth" produced by Yonggao and Xu Yiwen.

world".

Xu Yiwen, the former cold-faced comedian, has obviously completely failed to keep up with the times. The box office of "The Rich World" was only 7.6 million.

"Westward Journey: Moonlight Box" did have a box office of 5 million, but it was starring Zhou Xingchi. In the past two or three years, the local box office of movies starring Zhou Xingchi has not been less than 5 million. The box office of 5 million can only be said to be a slap in the face.

flutter!

In the bleak New Year box office, only Cheng Long shines, like a firefly in the dark night, so eye-catching.

"Red Zone" box office, 56.9 million!

Zou Wenhuai and others breathed a sigh of relief. Golden Harvest had just been launched on the market. Once Cheng Long's movie hit the market again, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, Cheng Long came to the rescue. After the box office performance of "Red Zone" was released, Jiahe's stock price continued to rise, making all the shareholders laugh so hard that they couldn't keep their legs together. (To be continued)
