1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 247 City-wide Search—Xia Tian!
The concert of 100 singers did have some influence~
After all, there were eight or nine thousand local Yanjing audiences participating in the concert. When Cui Jian sang "Nothing at All", the young people in the audience were already excited.

It was like there were nails growing on the seat, rubbing against it all the time!
But I could still hold it back at that time, but after Xia Tian finished singing four songs in a row, I couldn't hold it back at all!

The nail seemed to have grown three inches longer. If they sat down any longer, they would feel as if they were losing their virginity, so they all stood up!
Fortunately, everyone still stood in their seats, shouting and cheering, but no one ran around.

Otherwise, if thousands of people start to cause chaos, it will really cause a big mess!
No wonder many leaders on the scene were "scared away"! That's called safety awareness~
Afterwards, Aunt Wang felt a little frightened.

Is this a concert? Isn't this too intense?
Fortunately, Xia Tian was smart at the time. Seeing that everyone was so restless, he did not put down the microphone after singing the song. He told two jokes to attract attention, and then directed the audience to calm down. He also said that the singers would shake hands with everyone at the entrance of the Workers' Stadium, which calmed down many young audiences.

Finally, they shook hands at the door for more than half an hour, and the female singers' hands were all red from shaking hands!
In the summer, it's even worse. I was surrounded by people, shaking hands with both hands, for more than 40 minutes without stopping. It's because my skin is thick, otherwise I would have become bald.
If this happens in ten years, someone will have to ask for an autograph, and a handshake won't be enough.

……

Overall, this concert of 100 singers was quite successful.

The influence was there, and although there were some unexpected events, it was finally implemented smoothly.

There are quite a few leaders in charge of this aspect, but after seeing the "power" of concerts and rock music, they all gave a big X in their hearts!

We can't let such a wild and inflammatory thing appear in our hands!
Too dangerous~
If this is the case this time, many leaders will probably have a negative impression of this concert.

But the success lies in – profit!
The next day, recordings of the songs from the concert were played on the radio, and were replayed twice in the morning and afternoon.

The radio station received a lot of calls that day - it's not easy to make a phone call these days.

The next day, the radio station received a sack of letters. According to the listeners' requests, the radio station replayed the songs from the concert again - and they had learned their lesson and mixed them together and broadcast them in different time periods!
The listening rate of Yanjing Music Radio has directly crushed its peers in the past two days! For several consecutive days, it has almost monopolized the listening rate throughout the entire time period~
During this period, Brother Liu, who wanted to make some achievements, has been working overtime to get his subordinates to produce the album tape for this concert.

The first batch consisted of 20 tapes, which were released less than a week after the concert!

It just so happened that the radio craze had just passed, and then the tape sold like hot cakes!

The first song on side A is the chorus of "Let the World Be Full of Love", followed by Xia Tian's "Song of the Steed" and "Painting", and the first two songs on side B are Xia Tian's "Glory" and "Brightness", followed by Cui Jian's "Useless"...

Let's just say that although Brother Liu is a bit too purposeful and his methods are a bit beyond the scope, he is really capable! He can tell at a glance what song makes the young people at the scene "boil"!

If it weren't for the significance of "Let the World Be Full of Love", this song would have been put aside a bit~
Brother Liu invited us to dinner again. Fang Yan and seven or eight other young men from the big courtyards who were into "arts" came to accompany us. They toasted Xia Tian: "Tian Er, this is for you! It's so exciting and passionate! I was at the Workers' Stadium at the time. After listening to your songs, I felt my blood pressure go up! I couldn't sleep for half the night after returning home! You are this (thumbs-up)!"

Brother Liu had accumulated a lot of sales since he released an album last summer. This time he had to work overtime urgently - at least it was his subordinates who were working overtime. It seems that these 20 tapes will not be able to leave the vicinity of Yanjing - they were all consumed locally!

It won’t be long before the streets and alleys across the country will be filled with “Holding your face gently” and “Draw a girl to accompany me”…

As for the organizer, the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe made millions of RMB just by selling tapes!

Millions in the mid 80s!

After all, they share all the profits.
……

And now, the situation of the early years has begun again: "A large number of young people are looking for Xia Tian all over the city, wanting to get to know him, or even just meet him."

City Search - Summer!
I even asked for leave from school in the summer, and I have been staying at home recently, not going anywhere, so as not to be discovered!

According to Dachun, if you walk down the street now, you can always hear young people bragging: "Ah, Xia Tian, ​​I know you! Brother Tian and I are old neighbors!"

"Brother Tian beat me, and then I started hanging out with Brother Tian!"

"I've been punched several times in the summer! Most people don't have this blessing~"

"Do you know the Houhai concert? It was much earlier than the Workers' Stadium concert! I was there at the time! Brother Tian ran away diving in his shorts..." This seems to be really weird on the spot.

"I grew up reading summer novels!"

……

I don’t know if there is any delayed reaction, but the influence of this concert seems to overlap with the influence of the album released last summer!

This concert of 100 singers not only broke the unspoken rule that three pop singers cannot perform on the same stage, but also gave pop music a good name - it even linked it to the United Nations and the International Year of Peace. So why can't we sing openly?
Some subtle changes occurred in the heart without anyone noticing.

From then on, our music broke away from the previous eulogy, praise, and passionate and high-pitched music and directly intervened in social life.

Pop music has since spread like wildfire.

Before, pop music was not popular and was mainly composed of covers of Hong Kong and Taiwan pop songs or "sweet songs". However, after this concert, a new chapter was opened in the mainland music scene.

Especially with Cui Jian's shout at the concert, rock music officially entered the mainstream of Chinese music.

When the order of singing was arranged in the summer, I deliberately put myself at the end. On the one hand, as the organizer, I was giving myself a small benefit - there were many songs and a long time to perform, so I put them at the end. On the other hand, I didn't want to steal the limelight from Cui Jian.

Unlike those rock singers who appeared and disappeared like meteors, Lao Cui is really a good person.

He should be given the title of Godfather of Rock!

Cui Jian's "Nothing at All", Xia Tian's "Light" and "Glory", these three rock songs exploded in Yanjing!

I don’t know how many young people who are confused and hesitant, unable to see the way forward, are attracted by the singing and want to roar!
It is foreseeable that countless rock bands will be established, countless rock singers will appear, and countless rock fans will be born!

At this time, another "trend" came!

Northwest wind!
At the end of May last year, Xia Tian’s music album “Summer of 1985” was released. It sold out immediately and even scalpers appeared!

I'm not sure what it's like in the south, but here in Yanjing, those people carrying tape recorders and playing music in the streets and alleys basically play summer songs!

"Dingjun Mountain", "Wujiaopo 1984" and "Gan Sanguan" are considered Beijing songs and were sung during the Spring Festival Gala.

Both "Singing Face Painting" and "Huangmei Opera" are "old songs with new singing", and contain elements of traditional folk art.

"Chi Ling" is a kind of opera tune, which has never been seen before.

"Castle in the Sky" is a light music song with lyrics, and the melody has a high artistic content~
The ethnic singing style of "Chi Le Chuan" is extremely difficult!

"On the Other Side of the Water" is a cover of Teresa Teng's song, which can be considered a "trend".

"Chinese" and "Understanding You" are more traditional and mainstream songs - now they are must-haves for festivals.

The ones mentioned above are either Xia Tian’s original styles, which everyone is still exploring and is worried that they won’t be able to master - just because Xia Tian can sing it doesn’t mean you can.

"Chinese" and "Understanding You" are more mainstream pop songs, but they also require a very high level of lyrics - this is a pure test of level again!

Only the last song is widely sung - most of the songs on the entire tape are widely sung, only a few are difficult to sing and can only be listened to.

It is widely sung, has a distinctive style, and is very inspiring - you can try to imitate it, that is "Xintianyou"!
This style is a variation of Shaanxi folk songs with pop elements and even rock elements!

Many lyricists have dabbled in this.

It has been a year since the album was released, and many creators in the circle have been thinking about "Northwest Wind" for a long time.

During this period, concerts were held in Yanjing and even spread to the north with the help of tapes, and many musicians released new works directly!
In the following month, many songs of similar style appeared on TV and radio. They were of excellent quality and many of them were memorable.

What about "My Beloved Hometown", "Loess Plateau", "Going West"...

For a time, "Northwest Wind" was popular, combining rock, folk and pop music into one, which was sad, desolate and heart-wrenching.

The music scene seems to have been "reinjected with a wave of vitality" by summer~
At this time, Xia Tian was like a scumbag. After finishing the job, he lit a cigarette, put on his pants and left!
For a while, it seemed that I had "lost contact" in Yanjing!

Happy National Day, I wish all netizens a happy holiday!
