Chapter 568 Music Chronicle (1)

To [1980]

...

...

In Taiwan in 1980, the "Best Female Singer Award" of the Golden Bell Awards was won by singer Teresa Teng. During this year, her singing not only sounded at the Lincoln Center in New York, USA and the Los Angeles Music Center, but also rang throughout mainland China in the form of pirated cassettes and cover highlights. Hundreds of millions of people from all over the country were drunk by Teresa Teng's singing.

In the same year, Luo Dayou graduated from the Chinese Medical College and successfully obtained a doctor's license. In addition, he created the interlude "Why" for the movie "The Wrong Car" this year, which was sung by Su Rui. "The Story of Time", "Will Enter the Wine", "Lugang Town", and "Same Moonlight" all gurgled out of his writing this year.

Li Zongsheng, a 22-year-old Taiwanese young man, the son of the boss of Gas Industry, has already dropped out of the electrical engineering department of Hsinchu private Mingxin Industrial College. In this year, Li Zongsheng joined Polykin Records as a member of the "Acoustic Guitar Choir" and produced the "Complete Collection of Acoustic Guitar Works".

The other members of the group who worked with him were Jiang Xueshi, Chen Xiunan, Zheng Wenkui, Chen Yongyu, and Zhang Binghui.

During this year, Chen Shuhua sang "The Story of the Dolls", and Pan Yueyun officially entered the music scene on October 31 of the year. Two months later, she and Wu Chuchu and Li Lifen jointly released an album called "Three-person Show". Taiwan's Rolling Stone Records Company was also born in 1980.

In Hong Kong, Xu Guanjie, who had long been famous, adapted the songs "Half-King Baliang" and "The Voice of the Prodigal Son" into English versions to match the release of the movie "Half-King Baliang" in the United States. In July of this year, he released the album "Nian Nujiao". At the end of the year, his "79 Summer Song Collection" won the Platinum Record Award at the 4th "Golden Record Awards Ceremony".

Singer Huang Yingying, who debuted in 1974, published an English album called "portrait" this year.

Liza Wang sang "The King of Thousand Kings" and "The Dream of the Beijing Spring".

Ye Liyi sang the most important song in her life, "Shanghai Bund".

In the mainland, China's top rank resigned and four people were tried. According to the British "Guardian" report on April 14, 1980, the window of a photo studio in Shanghai read "Live a suit here" and a genuine Chinese slogan was posted next to it: "For the sake of revolution, only one child is given."

It was also in this year that in mainland China, the audience of the movie "Zorro" reached a record 70 million.

Luo Dayou, Teresa Teng, Liu Wenzheng...The names and songs of these people have been introduced to mainland China.

The lyrics of "Orchid and Grass" originated from Hu Shi's poem "Hope". The faint fragrance of orchid and grass drifted to Taiwan with Hu Shi's old age, and then became popular again in the mainland with the guitar in Liu Wenzheng's hand.

At that time, young men almost sang "I came from the mountains and brought orchids with them", while young women who heard the singing would smile in a sympathetic way.

On February 20, 1980, mainland China had its own pop song rankings for the first time. The Literature and Art Department of the Central People's Radio Station and the Editorial Department of Songs jointly held the "Radio Songs Favorite" selection activity. More than 250,000 people participated in the selection, resulting in the famous "fifteen lyric songs", including "Young Friends Come Meet", "Sister Looking for Brother to Tears", "White Feathers Sending Deep Love", "Yellow Flying South" created by lyricists such as Gu Jianfen and Wang Liping.

Li Guyi, Li Guangxi, and Li Shuangjiang were popular stars at that time, although at that time, people were not used to using the words "star" to refer to them.

On the evening of September 1980, the "New Star Concert" was officially staged at the Beijing Capital Stadium. This concert made the song "Military Port Night" popular all over the country, and also brought the names of many singers such as Zhu Mingying, Su Xiaoming, Zheng Xulan and others into people's hearts.

"Our Life is Full of Sunshine", "Our Tomorrow is Sweeter than Honey", and "Song of Happy Flying Out from the Waves" were the main themes of the society at that time, and young people used such voices to embrace the new 1980s.

"Young men play the six-stringed zither, and girls change into swimsuits." In the first mainland song "On the Sun Island" that uses electric instruments, Zheng Xulan describes the ideal leisure life of young people in this way. Some songs that exude a strong revolutionary smell have been adapted into light music, "Praise of Red Plum" and "Ode to Corals" are all included.

It was also this year that a 20-year-old young woman in Beijing, Cheng Fangyuan, who was a performer at the Central Orchestra, began to teach herself vocal music. Later that year, she performed on stage for the first time and achieved great success.

In 1979, the mainland young man Yu Junjian, who sang the theme song for the Hong Kong movie "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" and interludes, published the audio tape and record of "22 Golden Songs of Yu Junjian" in Hong Kong, and was transferred to the Chinese People's Liberation Army, General Political Department, Department of Political Science and Dance.

"In another twenty years, let's meet..." Few young people will sing this song 30 years later.

To [1981]

In 1981, the TV series "Garrison Expendables" became a rebellious textbook, Qiong Yao's novel appeared beside the young girls' pillows, and the girls of the Chinese women's volleyball team collectively became common idols of the people of the whole country.

This year, the first one of the top ten golden songs in Hong Kong was won by Adam Cheng's song "Being a Human Love and Freedom".

"The Pearl of the East" sung by Jenny (not the one created by Luo Dayou later) ranked eighth.

Singer Zhang Mingmin published an album called "Looking at the Stars", in which he sang Mandarin songs such as "Dad's Straws", "Strive in the Storm and Rain".

Danny Chan has already sang one of his representative works "Remembering the Father's Greetings".

Lin Zixiang covered Li Xianglan's "Night Comes to Fragrance" in Cantonese.

In 1981, after being introduced by his sister Qi Yu, Qi Qin joined the Zongyi Records Company as a singer and published her first solo album "Seeing Her Again". This album became the representative work of Zongyi Records Company, but Qi Qin enlisted in the army this year after publishing the record.

Luo Dayou published "The Proverbs of Love", and Chang Aijia's solo album "Childhood" also includes four songs he created, "Looking for Everyone", "Spring Look", "Four Seasons", and "Fallen Leaves" in his solo album.

Tsai Qin, who won the first "Best Singer Award" in the recording category of Taiwan's "Golden Tripod Award" two years ago, published two solo albums "Qiu Jin" and "Your Eyes". Teresa Teng's "Just Like Your Gentleness" was also born this year.

In the mainland, the names of Peng-Li-Yuan and Jiang Dawei have begun to be known to more and more people because of the two songs, "In the Field of Hope" and "In the Place where Peach Blossoms".

Zhu Fengbo of Shanghai has published many solo albums this year. The cover of the album's cassette is written with the words "Sogun Solo". The songs include the cover of the Taiwanese songs "Green Island Serenade" and "Rural Road", as well as names such as "Four Flowers Blooming and Happiness Comes".

In Beijing, a performance called "Taiwan Song Concert" was held, with songs such as "Snail and Oriole" and "Catching Loaches" fascinated Beijing audiences.

During this year, singer Cheng Fangyuan officially entered the music scene and was transferred to the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe to serve as a solo singer.

Cui Jian, a young man from the Korean clan, also became a professional trumpet player in the famous Beijing Aihe Orchestra.

During this period, Cui Jian heard foreign music tapes brought to China by foreign tourists and students, and began to fall in love with rock music. Out of his love for private nigami nkel and john-de female, he began to learn to play guitar and soon began to sing in public.

Zhang Xing, a young man from Shanghai who had been learning guitar performance for two years, was still in front of a worker at the Shanghai Qunyi Radio Plant.

To [1982]

...

...

This year, three young people in mainland China began to become familiar with the names of everyone: in the 6th World Cup Gymnastics Competition, a handsome young man won 6 gold medals in a total of 7 events alone. In 17 years, he will be selected as the "Best Athlete of the Century" by the International Sports Journalists Association, together with Michael Jordan, Beckenbauer, Bailey and other 25 people. His name is Li Ning.

In 1982, Jet Li, the national martial arts champion, played the protagonist Monk Jueyuan in the film "Shaolin Temple" of Hong Kong Central Plains Film Company. This not only aroused the admiration of "martial arts masters" by teenagers across the country and the trend of a large number of teenagers running away from home to learn from their masters, but also made the music album "Shaolin, Shaolin" popular all over the country.

During this year, the child star Cheng Lin won the "Skylark Award" for her solo album "Little Childhood Rolling Car" and was transferred to the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe to serve as a solo actor. She was also warmly received by Deng Yingchao while performing in the Great Hall of the People. The painting master Li Kuchan personally splashed ink for her and wrote an inscription "Little Cheng Lin is full of genius and has a great future, so I will give her a gift. Li Kuchan was 84 years old, 1982." But at the same time, she was criticized for imitating Teresa Teng's singing style.

This year, young men wearing old military uniforms, cloth shoes and military bags appeared on the streets of mainland cities again, but their girlfriends may be wearing fashionable jeans. His girlfriend's hair may have become the popular "Yakiko", because this year, "Yakiko" in "Blood Suspicion" made Yamaguchi Momoe a super idol in the hearts of the Chinese people.

Taiwan's mixed-race young man Fei Xiang joined the e-san record this year and released his first album "Landing". His handsome and upright prince charming image quickly won people's hearts.

Luo Dayou created the song "Wild Lily There is Spring", which was sung by Pan Yueyun as the theme song of the movie "Wild Bird Flying High". In addition to this song, Luo Dayou's first solo album "Zhihuzheye" was also released by Taiwan Rolling Stone Records on April 21 of this year. The lyrics full of critical atmosphere and unprecedented radical music style have created an unprecedented trend of self-reflection on Taiwan's island.

On May 18 of that year, he also held a concert at the National Father Memorial Hall in Taipei, becoming the first person to lead the trend of solo concerts in Taiwan. Songs such as "Zhihuzheye", "Little Sister", "Silent Song", "Birth", and "Orphans of Asia" were all born in this year.

Lee Zongsheng also officially entered the recording industry as the third-time Golden Rhyme Award winner this year, and produced the album "The Time of Xiaoyu Comes" for singer Zheng Yi.

In Hong Kong, in May 1982, TVB and Huaxing Records decided to hold the first Hong Kong Rookie Singing Competition. At the time of her mother's "Jinxia Opera Troupe", Anita Mui, who had been singing for fourteen years, finally agreed to accompany her to participate in the competition under the repeated urging of her sister Mei Aifang.

There were more than 3,000 young people competing with them. In the competition, Mei Aifang did not enter the third round. On July 18, Anita Mui's final song was Xu Xiaofeng's "Season of the Wind". Although it was a cover, the 18-year-old singer shocked everyone at the competition with fourteen years of performance experience, incredible singing skills and extraordinary confidence, including judges Gu Jiahui, judges Huang Zhan, and Li Xiaotian. Anita Mui won the championship without any dispute.

In Anita Mui's final scoring table, Huang Zhan gave a full score of 50 without hesitation. Gu Jiahui was a little cautious and gave 49 points. From then on, Anita Mui added to the Hong Kong music scene.

Anita Mui released her first record "Heart Debt" this year, and the 24-year-old popular singer Danny Chan sang "Take Tonight" this year. From now on, he has 11 years left in his life, but he himself has no idea.

Ten years later, at 10 p.m. on May 1, 1992, he would suddenly faint and fall into a coma for a long time afterwards until his death on October 25, 1993.

The old partner Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui collaborated to write a song called "Forget Love in My Heart" this year. The song was sung by singer Ye Zhentang and ranked first in the top ten golden songs of the year in Hong Kong.

21 years later, at a concert held by the Hong Kong Red Hall, Huang Zhan, who could no longer hide his old Ye Zhentang, will sing this song again. The melody and lyrics are just the same as 21 years ago. The song says: Forget all the love in my heart, leave love and infatuation, let the laughter send away the old sorrow, let the wine clear the past...

To [1983]

...

...

In 1983, the Hong Kong TV series was broadcast for the first time in the mainland. The name of this TV series is "Huo Yuanjia". The hairstyles cut by actors Huang Yuanshen and Liang Xiaolong, which had bangs on the front and necks on the back became popular among young people. The theme song of the film, "The Great Wall Never Falls" sung by Ye Zhentang, also became one of the most popular songs in the mainland at that time. "Sleeping for a Hundred Years" was often sung by northern young men as "Shui Li Ling".

CCTV broadcast the station's Spring Festival Gala to the whole country for the first time this year. Li Gu sang 7 songs including "Love in the Countryside". The most sensational scene was that actor Liu Xiaoqing greeted his parents at the party. The four direct-dial phone ringtones almost never stopped, and the lines of Beijing Telecom 86 Bureau were hot, and the technicians were very nervous, and spare equipment and fire-fighting equipment were all ready.

The young singer Cheng Lin went to Hong Kong to perform in 1983, which caused a sensation. Hong Kong people called her "Little Teresa Teng".

Shanghai's Youth Daily opened a "Half Month One Song" song column this year. Among the 250 song letters I received, most of them were Taiwanese campus songs, film and television episodes and other popular Chinese and foreign songs.

Among them, the songs that have been displayed more than 20 times include: the Taiwanese campus song "Morning" (37 times), the Japanese film and television song "Fire of Youth" (28 times), the mainland song "I Love Milan" (21 times), and the mainland movie song "The Sea, Hometown" (20 times).

The top seven mainland singers who were called are: Wang Jieshi, Xie Lis (115 times); Chen Xiaocen (50 times); Cheng Fangyuan (39 times); Su Xiaoming (25 times); Zhu Mingying (21 times); Zheng Xulan (21 times).

Lijun published an album for the 15th anniversary of his debut in Taiwan. According to statistics from Hong Kong Polykin Records, from 1975 to 1983, Teresa Teng sold 5 million records in Hong Kong, setting a record in the Chinese music industry.

During this year, she also published an album called "Da Qingxiang", which composed many classical poems and sang. "When will the Moon Come", which later became one of Faye Wong's representative works, came from this album.

Su Rui's first Mandarin album "The Wrong Car" was finally published this year. In the Taiwanese pop music scene, where the slutty tunes were popular at the time, this album that embodies the hard work of a new generation of Taiwanese pop musicians, including Luo Dayou, Liang Hongzhi and Li Shouquan, is almost epoch-making. Some people say that without Su Rui, Teresa Teng's songs would have extended the popularity for at least ten years.

After more than a year of silence, Qi Yu released her second personal album "You Are All Memories".

The album "The Time of the Light Rain" produced by Leehom for Zheng Yi was also released this year and occupied the back seat of the rankings for thirteen weeks. "The Time of the Light Rain is coming at the right time/It represents the tears that I cannot shed/The Time of the Light Rain comes at the right time/dilute my thoughts for you." The song's songwriter is Xiao Chong. When he wrote this song, he was still serving in the army. Leehom himself probably did not expect that because of the song "End" he sang with Zheng Yi in this album, he was about to start a brilliant career as a star.

Leslie Cheung sang "The Wind Continues to Blow" this year, while Hong Kong boys Wong Ka Kui and Ye Shirong formed a group called beyond this year and participated in the Yamaba Guitar Competition held by Guitar Magazine and won the championship. The winning songs were included in a biscuit called "Hong Kong".

Anita Mui, who just debuted last year, made a big splash with the theme song "Red Question" of the Japanese TV series "Red Question" and won the first place in the top ten golden songs in Hong Kong that year. The TV series "Red Question" is actually the "Blood Question" that caused a sensation in the mainland.
