372 [The Godfather of Rock]
After Xiang Nan sang one song, the audience burst into extremely warm applause.
Popular singers have performed on stage before, but the applause they received was never as warm as this one.
"Thank you everyone." Xiang Nan bowed and left the stage.
"Brother, you are so awesome, you also play rock and roll?"
"Brother, you are very good at playing guitar. Let's compare notes if we have a chance."
"Teacher Liu, you, a mainstream creator, actually know how to play rock and roll, you are really wild!"
After returning to the backstage, everyone came forward and expressed surprise.
Although Xiang Nan has written many songs before, most of them are main themes, such as "The Sun is Reddest, the Chairman is Dearest", "Blood-Stained Style", "Loyalty to the Country", "Good Days", and "Love Me China"
and so on.
So this leaves people with the impression that Xiang Nan is conservative, traditional, and closed, just like an old master. Unlike people like them who play pop music, they are open, trendy, and free.
However, the song Xiang Nan sang just now completely overturned their views.
Even though he is a mainstream songwriter, he is not afraid at all when it comes to rock music. As for the rhythm and lyrics of the song just now, they may not have been able to perfect them in ten years.
"Awesome!" Everyone said with emotion in their hearts.
"There is a chance to learn from each other, there is a chance to learn from each other." Xiang Nan responded with a smile.
These are probably the big names in the music industry in the future, and it would be good to get to know more of them.
…
At the end of the performance, Cui Jian and others came on stage and roared out the strongest sound of mainland rock music at that time - "I used to ask endlessly, when will you come with me, but you always laughed at me and had nothing..."
This voice roared out, and half of the leaders sitting in the audience cheered and walked away.
Although Xiang Nan's song "Blooming Life" can be considered rock and roll, it has inspirational lyrics and a nice melody, so it can still be accepted. But Cui Jian's song "Nothing" is too wild, and it is more difficult to accept.
.
But Xiang Nan knew that as soon as Cui Jian roared, the fire of rock and roll burned unstoppably. In other words, it was the beginning of the first year of Chinese rock and roll.
Since then, rock music has gradually become mainstream and is increasingly accepted by the public.
So great, Cui Jian!
…
Then the next day, many newspapers reported on yesterday's concert of 100 singers.
However, it didn't create much of a response. After all, it's hard to imagine just how good this concert was based on words alone.
It was not until a week later that Yanjing TV broadcast the live video of that night.
This concert caused a great sensation in the society.
Songs such as "Let the World Be Full of Love", "Blooming Life" and "Nothing" became popular and quickly swept the country.
Xiang Nan, who took the stage before Cui Jian and sang "Blooming Life", was dubbed by the media as "China's number one rock person". The song "Blooming Life" also gained mainstream attention because of its beautiful melody and inspirational lyrics.
It was so recognized that even the People’s Broadcasting Station played the song.
In comparison, the song "Nothing" did not receive support from mainstream resources because the lyrics and melody were too wild. This also made Cui Jian not even able to retain the title of "China's number one rock person", and his fame was relatively small.
It is also far behind Xiang Nan.
…
Entering 1987, this year has been relatively lackluster.
The only thing worth mentioning is that in September, China sent its first email, opening the door to the Internet world.
The content of the email was written in English and German as "Crossing the Great Wall and going to the world." These eight words also heralded the future of China's Internet.
In the 1987 Spring Festival Gala, Xiang Nan still appeared on stage and sang the song "Blooming Life", which also made his fame continue to skyrocket.
In 1987, Xiang Nan also bought his first car, a Crown Seventh Generation from Japan. At that time, the price of this car was 560,000 yuan. The price alone can scare people. Somersault.
You must know that although wages were reformed at that time, the annual income of most people was only more than 1,000 yuan and 560,000 yuan. It would take hundreds of years to earn without eating or drinking.
Therefore, Xiang Nan bought this car, which is really very popular. Wherever he goes, he attracts everyone's attention.
To be honest, in another thirty years, unless he can drive a speedster on the streets, he will never be able to enjoy this kind of treatment.
…
In 1988, many collective companies in Shenzhen, Shanghai and Jiangsu were restructured and launched original shares in order to raise funds from the society, thus spontaneously forming a stock trading market.
However, because the public did not know much about stocks, stock trading was not active at that time.
When Vanke issued shares at the end of 1988, because people really didn't dare to buy them, CEO Wang Sui even led his employees to set up stalls in the downtown area to sell the shares. They even went to the wet market and sold the shares together with Chinese cabbage.
However, Xiang Nan knew the benefits of these stocks, so he began to acquire a large number of shares. He bought more than 14 million shares of Vanke stock alone.
This stock market transaction has basically spent the more than 30 million he had accumulated by selling orchids.
However, with the popularity of martial arts in the past two years, his "Detective Di Renjie" has become more and more popular, and it is still making money for him, so Xiang Nan is not short of money now. He still has more than 500 yuan in the bank. Ten thousand.
…
Entering the 89th year, Xiang Nan began to retreat and write the adventure novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", which was still serialized in the "Story Club" magazine.
When this novel came out, the literary world was even more surprised.
The previous "Detective Detective Di Renjie" was both a knight and a martial artist, which was enough nonsense. This time, it is better to directly write about gods, ghosts, demons, and zombie fox fairies. This is really too degenerate and kitsch.
Therefore, the voice of criticism arose again, and they wished they could smash Xiang Nan to the ground.
However, no matter how fierce they shouted, not many people responded.
The reason is simple. With the opening up in recent years, people's thinking has changed.
Making money is no longer something that is difficult to talk about. On the contrary, whoever can make money and whoever can make more money is regarded as having the ability and ability.
Moreover, in recent years, as European, American, Hong Kong and Taiwan songs, novels, movies, and TV series have successively entered the mainland market, people's tastes have also changed.
Serious literature and realistic literature have fewer and fewer audiences. On the contrary, popular novels are becoming more and more popular.
Romance novels by Qiong Yao, Xi Juan, and Yi Shu, martial arts novels by Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Liang Yusheng, detective novels by Conan Doyle, and Agatha Christina... were all the rage and deeply loved by readers.
Where there is demand, there is a market, and where there is a market, there is money to be made.
