Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 34 Different Treatment
(PS: The part in the previous chapter where the protagonist went up to say hello was cut out to avoid people calling the protagonist an idiot)

After the God of Gamblers arrived, there were only a few minutes left until the auspicious time.

The supermarket began to quickly organize the opening ceremony.

Two twenty.

The opening ceremony procedures began.

After the opening performance by the Yangcheng Longguang Lion Dance Troupe, the ribbon-cutting guests came out.

The team of guests for the ribbon-cutting ceremony was quite large.

Except for Chow Yun-fat, the big star specially invited from Hong Kong, the others were either senior executives of China Resources Supermarket or senior local officials in Shenzhen.

At 2:30, the opening ribbon-cutting ceremony began on time.

Amid the sound of festive firecrackers, the chief cutter wearing white gloves cut the ribbon.

Then the person in charge of the Aihua store gave a speech.

It mainly talks about some goals of this supermarket, today's promotions and so on.

Many local Shenzhen media reporters were invited to take photos in the audience.

It is obvious that today's opening ceremony will definitely be reported in the newspaper tomorrow.

After a tedious process, the main guest who cut the ribbon left and the host announced that the supermarket was officially open and customers could enter to buy things.

Then, the performance team came on stage to perform.

The first to perform was Grasshopper.

They brought two songs, one is "Half a Snack" and the other is "Lovelor Front Alliance".

Both songs are included in their album "The Lovelorn Alliance" released in 1990, and are also very popular in Guangdong Province.

I have to say that Grasshopper’s song type is very suitable for stirring emotions.

As soon as they came on stage and started singing, the audience below immediately started shouting with excitement.

Moreover, when they were singing, they were not like the singers in mainland China who stood still like pillars, but danced to the melody.

It has both beautiful melody and cool dance, no wonder everyone likes it.

However, Zhou Ziheng, who was waiting to enter behind the stage, discovered a problem.

That is, Grasshopper is lip-syncing.

What’s even more speechless is that they were clearly lip-syncing, but they didn’t even pretend.

Many times even the lip shape is not correct.

"It's strange that I can't hear their voices, isn't it?"

Seeing Zhou Ziheng frequently looking at the audiovisual equipment in the corner, Yang Yuying couldn't help but chuckle, "All the singers over there are like this, they rarely sing for real.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they sing the songs on their tapes very well.

When singing live, it’s normal to be out of tune.”

"Is the Four Heavenly Kings like this too?"

Zhou Ziheng really didn't know much about this matter and couldn't help but ask.

“It’s not like this in every show, sometimes they sing live.

However, in the activities I have participated in, including theirs, they are basically like this." Yang Yuying explained.

Hearing this, Zhou Ziheng nodded.

He understood why the future Three Heroes of Magic Rock called the Four Heavenly Kings clowns.

It’s probably because they attended an event together and were seen lip-syncing.

The three heroes of Moyan were people who had always been outspoken.

It would be strange if you didn't curse at such unprofessional behavior.

Watching the Grasshoppers performing on stage like a pantomime, Zhou Ziheng found it somewhat amusing, and he also had to sigh that Hong Kong is indeed a place at the forefront of the times.

Good habits come from them, and so do bad habits.

They are dedicated, but they are also unprofessional.

The Grasshoppers quickly finished singing their two songs.

The three men left the stage amid warm cheers from the audience.

Very arrogant, the three of them passed by Zhou Ziheng and the other person without even glancing at them.

Zhou Ziheng didn't care. He knew that these people were very arrogant, so he hesitated whether to develop in Hong Kong.

He straightened his clothes, said something to Yang Yuying, and then appeared on stage with the host's introduction.

"The next performer for us is our local Guangdong singer, the golden boy Zhou Ziheng, who is also known as the golden boy and jade girl of Guangdong Province.

Let us welcome him out with warm applause."

There was a very common phenomenon in the mainland music scene in the 1990s.

It is very easy to have a situation where the song is popular but the artist is not. Zhou Ziheng is experiencing this kind of situation at this moment.

Among the audience, most of them must have been at the radio station, on the street, or had tapes of his music themselves.

But they were not so familiar with the name Zhou Ziheng.

Therefore, unlike the enthusiastic support from the audience when he participated in "A Thousand Colors", today the audience was a little cold after hearing his name.

"Who is Zhou Ziheng?"

“Sounds a bit familiar!”

Among the people who were watching the performance in the audience, there were whispers.

Until the music started.

"It's hard to get together on the night of September 9th"

"Homesick people drifting outside"

"It's September again, I feel even more sad and worried"

“The idea of ​​returning home is always in my mind”

……

wow...

When the melody of "September 9th Wine" sounded and Zhou Ziheng's singing came out, the audience suddenly understood.

"It's him!"

"His original name was Zhou Ziheng."

"The boy is very handsome!"

On the stage, Zhou Ziheng held a wired microphone and sang while walking on the stage.

When he walked to the edge of the stage, he reached out and shook hands with several audience members.

After singing "Wine on September 9th", Zhou Ziheng did not leave the stage, but continued to sing "Wandering Song".

The atmosphere was quite lively. Although not as good as Grasshopper, it was also very good.

Because the song is simple, some people sing along.

There were also a few little girls among them who kept screaming loudly, probably because they were attracted by his appearance.

After singing two songs, I got 20,000 yuan.

Zhou Ziheng didn't say anything more. He bowed and thanked the audience and then quickly left the stage.

After he stepped down, Yang Yuying took over.

Her situation was actually similar to Zhou Ziheng's, and the atmosphere at the scene was relatively not so serious.

In fact, this is also normal.

Although Zhou Ziheng and Yang Yuying's tapes sold well, they did not appear on TV often. They did not have the aura of Hong Kong singers and did not have that much star quality.

Naturally, the audience was relatively less enthusiastic.

However, Zhou Ziheng felt that this situation would change soon.

After "A Thousand Colors" is broadcast on Pearl River Channel tonight, the star quality of the two people should increase a little.

If their tapes can sell well nationwide this year and be performed on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

When they perform again next year, the situation will be completely different.

Compared to Grasshopper, we received thoughtful care from the person in charge of the Aihua store.

Zhou Ziheng and Yang Yuying seem to be unloved by their parents.

After the two of them stepped down from the stage, only a person in charge was sent over to settle the performance fee and give them some supermarket items.

then……

Then there is no more.

No one came over to see me off or to say anything polite.

Zhou Ziheng and Yang Yuying returned home alone.

When getting in the car, Zhou Ziheng looked back.

I just happened to see the God of Gamblers coming out accompanied by several officials who had just participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

He walked with a cool step and wore sunglasses.

It looks a bit like God of Gamblers Online.

With the smiling farewell of several supermarket executives and officials, they got into a luxury car and sped away.

Well, they should be having fun.

I don’t know how many people the God of Gamblers will fight tonight.
