Superstars start from HK Entertainment

Chapter 575 1995 Rookie Singing Contest (5.55k)

"Aaron Kwok's turnaround work, "Legend of Innocence" became the single-day sales champion one day after its release. "The Heroes of Heaven and Earth" by Dawn was defeated on the first day."

At eight o'clock in the morning, He Jin was sitting on the sofa, drinking porridge and watching the news.

With the release of Aaron Kwok's album, the atmosphere throughout June seemed very tense.

Although He Jin is very confident that his album will surpass others after its release, he is inevitably a little nervous.

Especially when Aaron Kwok's "Legend of Innocence" is so powerful.

He Jin has known for a long time that Aaron Kwok's "Legend of Innocence" can achieve good results.

It can even be said that in this vigorous and exaggerated battle of the kings, the most important thing for He Jin is Aaron Kwok, who has little presence among the five kings.

Because he knows that although Liming's "Heaven and Earth" can be called a success, the release date of this album is far away from his own album, so even if it has an impact, it will not be too big.

The ep album "My Love in Life Is You" by Dawn 4 is just an ep, and its main title is also the main title of "Heaven and Earth's Pride", so it will not have any impact on me.

This song ranked first among Radio Hong Kong's top ten hits in the first quarter this year.

The first stage of the draft has begun on the stage, which tests the players' control of breath.

China Star Records has a tradition of old people bringing in new people, such as Andy Hui bringing in Sammi Cheng.

Among them, Eason Chan frequently looked at He Jin when singing "The King of K-Song".

Originally, the four of them were the people that He Jin planned to support, but since the failure of entering Japan and South Korea, he seemed to have no peace of mind about them.

The fourth one is the famous domestic female singer Mao Amin singing the song "I Don't Want to Be Loved Again".

Each of the eight contestants will appear and sing a short song.

Taking a closer look at He Jin's journey over the past few years since he entered the music scene, he is an incredible singer and songwriter.

The second round of competition was still related to breath. The program team prepared three more difficult songs and sang them in a skewering way at a faster pace.

The little Jew took the newspaper and read it.

Because eight people appeared to sing, four of the songs were composed by He Jin.

Danshui Cheng took to the stage to make the opening remarks.

But in He Jin's memory, it seems that the success of the album he released this year was not "Allergic World" in June, but "This Winter Isn't Too Good" at the end of last year, that is, on December 22, 1994.

cold".

He Jin made a decision in his heart and planned to listen to Xiao Jue for the time being and not sign Eason Chan and others for the time being.

It is also because of this that the Rookie Singing Contest has produced so many powerful kings and queens.

What made He Jin look weird was that the two contestants he paid most attention to, Eason Chan and Miriam Yeung, sang the songs "King of K-Song" and "Kiss Everywhere" respectively.

He Jin naturally noticed the looks of other judges around him.

Everyone here is definitely a famous name in the music world.

"What do you want to do?"

I think He Jin had the same shortcomings when he participated in the Rookie Singing Contest. He was still in the stage of changing his voice at that time, and if he sang songs with too fast changes in rhythm, he would easily go out of tune.

The Rookie Singing Contest has once again attracted the attention of TVB.

Moreover, the potential of h4's five players is not low, if they can be polished carefully.

Speaking of TVB’s emphasis on the Rookie Singing Contest, when He Jin purchased China Star Records, he actually wanted to also acquire the right to host the Rookie Singing Contest. However, Run Run Shaw is very smart. No matter what He Jin said, he did not agree.

.

The two of them rushed to the TVB studio together by car.

However, even though he was not familiar with him, it was obvious that his name was well-known in Japan. As soon as he met him, Nakano enthusiastically told him that he liked several Japanese songs he released last year.

However, the silly images of the three people on stage, combined with the performance of this Mandarin folk song, made the name "Three Idiots of China Star" disappear.

After the two rounds of competition, the program team arranged a halftime performance.

After all, these three songs really don’t match the style of today’s era.

"I have listened to Aaron Kwok's album, and it is indeed a good album. But some people say that the data of He Jin's new album may not be as good as Aaron Kwok's, and I am the first to refuse to accept it.

He Jin also knew that Xiao Jue was bored at home every day recently, so he thought there wouldn't be too many people for today's recording, so he agreed.

He asked someone to bring a bouquet of flowers to the stage, “In previous competitions, people often had the illusion that flowers must be packaged like this bouquet in order to be entertaining.

Anyway, here, he is judged entirely based on his strength.

"Ah Jin, I don't think you can sign any more people to the company."

Especially this year, as someone who has been through it.

He Jin took out the bottom one from the newspaper in his hand and said, "Look, the media is setting me on fire! It's better that the sales data is higher than Aaron Kwok's, but it would be a joke if it were lower!"

However, before the contestants take the stage, there will be an opening performance.

Because Zheng Danrui was busy reviewing the script with the program team, He Jin did not have a detailed chat with him. He just chatted casually for a few words, and He Jin took the little Jew to the judges over there.

The little Jew hesitated for a moment and said.

Five contestants will be eliminated in this round, leaving three.

Several judges chatted with each other for a while, and then under the arrangement of the program team, they officially entered their seats and waited for the program to start.

What the music world lacks are people like you who are brave enough to innovate. I believe this album will be a success!"

This can be seen from the strength of the eight players.

"You should have seen it in the audience just now. The top two this time have great potential. I plan to go and see if there is any hope of signing them."

Unmentioned, this round Eason Chan came first with a high score of 36 points, followed by Miriam Yeung.

But with those three Chinese-style songs in it, He Jin suspected that he might be scolded.

But this often overlooks the most important thing, which is the connotation.

h4 is an example.

I don’t know what Miriam Yang and Xu Jianbang are doing, but based on He Jin’s estimation, Eason Chan, TVB should be producing a new album for him soon.

At present, our company's singer resources are already insufficient.

The first person to introduce is our daughter from Xiangjiang, Ms. Anita Mui, and then Mr. He Jinhe who also came from this singing competition.

These three people are Eason Chan, Miriam Yeung and Xu Jianbang.

After He Jin discussed with several judges around him, they all agreed that the gold medal should be given to Eason Chan, followed by Miriam Yeung.

Originally, He Jin had vaguely mentioned to Fang Yihua that he wanted to sign two rookie singing competition singers when he met her last time, but Fang Yihua didn't give him any face and directly rejected him.

He Jin had to admit that the strength of this session was generally stronger than that of He Jin's.

Almost 95% of the big-name stars in Hong Kong entered the entertainment industry through these three channels and became famous.

It's a waste to leave it alone, but if you praise it vigorously, what do you want other people in the company to think?

Liang Hanwen and other h4 have been left out by you for several months, and the albums the company created for them have never been popular. Newcomers have been praised by you since they first came in. I'm afraid they will feel uncomfortable and jump ship."

"What are you thinking about? The album is out. And I think those songs are very good, especially "Qili Xiang".

Moreover, Zhou Huimin's status in the music world is not low, and Zheng Danrui was eager to give her more scenes to increase her attention, so he agreed without hesitation.

He Jin said as he walked.

Each of the eight people sang a song, and the three people who would stay were soon decided.

In order to grow this record company as quickly as possible, TVB has tightly controlled the top spots in the rookie singing competition in the past two years, and does not allow other companies to interfere at all.

The winner of the Rookie Singing Contest immediately released an album a few months after winning. This is a precedent set by He Jin.

For singers, a cappella singing is basically equivalent to being an internet celebrity doing beauty treatments. You can tell at a glance whether you are good or not.

After the guest performers finished their performances, it was the contestants' turn soon.

Each of his albums is firmly ranked first among the five kings in terms of quality and sales.

Not only did the scale of the event become larger and larger, but big names were also invited to serve as judges every year.

Although Zhou Huimin has retired, she won the top ten Chinese golden songs and the top ten best songs awards that just ended in February, and she is still very famous now.

The song "I Don't Want to Be Broken in Love Again" was a song written for Mao Amin by contacting Sanbao from Huaxing Records after she joined Huaxing Records.

These days, whoever is popular will have more imitators and followers.

In Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s, there were only three ways to become a star.

When he got there, He Jin first smiled at Zheng Danrui, a regular guest at major events in Hong Kong.

Seeing Liang Hanwen acting silly on stage and making the audience laugh, He Jin couldn't help but feel regretful.

Especially Eason Chan, Miriam Yeung and the player named Xu Jianbang.

The halftime performance was performed by Andy Hui, Leung Han Man and Sammi Cheng from He Jin's China Star Records.

It seems that I am obsessed with pursuing those who became superstars in my previous life.

This is a very funny and cute dark history between the three of them, and the photographer was reluctant to even take a close-up of it.

After the judges have finished their introduction, it means that the competition has officially begun.

"Although they do have great potential, do you know how many potential people there are in our company now?"

In the same year, they participated in a performance celebrating the 49th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, singing the folk song "Fengyang Flower Drum" live.

The program team selected a song that tests the breath for each contestant, marked the words that require breath change, and then asked the contestants to sing.

Compared with the good voice of later generations, TVB's Rookie Singing Contest is indeed aimed at selecting the most capable contestants.

If He Jin didn't include Chinese-style songs in his new album, he would definitely be confident.

The third one was performed live by the Hong Kong band Tai Chi.

Jacky Cheung is indeed a very stable one among the five kings.

This round of competition involves both singing and acting talents.

The little Jew comforted.

"Okay, hurry up and pack up. Aren't you going to participate in the recording of the "Rookie Singing Contest"? If you stay later, you will be late!"

After the game, He Jin found Xiao Jude and took her to the backstage of the studio.

The Three Idiots of China Star, who will be famous in the future, may have no hope now. Eason Chan and Miriam Yeung are obviously unlikely to join China Star.

The little Jew changed into a long skirt and came out of the room. When he saw He Jin reading a newspaper about Aaron Kwok, he couldn't help but laugh and ask.

"Yeah!" He Jin nodded, got up and went to change clothes.

In other words, this game ends here.

Some of these audiences are managers from major record companies, and some are rich people who come to watch live shows.

A few minutes later, He Jin changed his clothes and came out. He saw the little Jew carrying a bag and dressed beautifully. He couldn't help but ask: "Where are you going?"

Yes, there is no musical accompaniment and the entire performance is sung a cappella.

It is normal for the company to not pay attention to singers for the time being, but it cannot be ignored.

As the award presenters awarded the trophies to the three contestants, the game officially ended.

"Andy Hui, Tony Leung, Louis Koo, Leo Ku, Sammi Cheng, and last time you signed Coco Lee, and then there's Brother Hua and Brother Leslie Cheung.

The little Jew did not sit on the judges' bench, but was placed in the audience seat on the other side by Zheng Danrui.

Therefore, I dare to say that He Jin’s new album will definitely surprise everyone.”

Although it is inevitable that players will imitate players in competitions of this era, there is no doubt that the players are all very capable.

The performance is presented in the form of musical sketches.

After Liang Hanwen, Xu Zhian and others on the stage finished their performances, the final round of PK officially began.

This decision was made after discussion by He Jin and several other judges.

He Jin knows most of the people here, only Nakano from Japan is not familiar with him.

Not only Eason Chan, but several judges next to He Jin also kept taking aim at He Jin.

In response, he pretended not to notice and continued to focus on the stage.

We also invited several gold medal producers, songwriters and composers.

These people come from all over the place.

If I take this bouquet of flowers as tonight's competition, then I can tell everyone that tonight's singing competition is not a show off, but an orthodox competition that truly respects music.

Not just one round, but three rounds in total.

There were about 300 viewers for today's recording.

Not long after He Jin and others took their seats, the recording of the program officially began.

Zheng Danrui is the host of this rookie singing competition, and he is also one of the people in charge of this competition.

Even after He Jin made Huaxing Records more prosperous, TVB wanted to copy Huaxing Records and established a small record company affiliated with TVB.

I believe everyone knows something about both of them, so I won’t introduce them further here.”

After this round, no one from the program team bothered to wait for the judges to score, but asked them to directly select this year's gold, silver and bronze awards.

Of course, there are also extras, mainly acting as cheerleaders.

To be honest, in terms of lineup alone, this lineup is definitely packed with big names.

From a distance, fellow judge Anita Mui started teasing He Jin.

"What's wrong! Are you worried?"

Therefore, even though Jacky Cheung will release his album on the 12th, his focus is entirely on Aaron Kwok's "Legend of Innocence".

"Don't they praise you? What's there to worry about?" the little Jew asked in confusion after reading the newspaper.

He Jin doesn’t know if there are any hidden secrets among the other judges in this competition.

Before Eason Chan and Miriam Yeung became queens, this title followed them for a long time.

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that what the little Jew said was not wrong.

There is the famous composer Nakano from Japan, the Rolling Stones gold medal songwriter Xiaochong, and the famous music producer Sambo from the mainland.

In the first round, the contestants of the program team select one song from the six songs prepared by the program team to sing. This is a complete singing.

Of the eight contestants who entered the venue, four of them sang songs by He Jin, accounting for almost half of them.

Local music producers in Hong Kong also include Lin Minyi, as well as Yu Zheng, chairman and general manager of Xiangjiang Commercial Broadcasting Co., Ltd., Jiang Gangsheng, general manager of Huasheng Entertainment Co., Ltd., and Zeng Guoqiang of Xiangjiang Television Entertainment Co., Ltd.

To be honest, as a person with future memories, He Jin believes that TVB's Rookie Singing Contest is indeed a very formal stage.

After five of the eight contestants are eliminated, the remaining three still have to compete.

However, since He Jin participated in the Rookie Singing Contest in 1991 and became the champion, he became more and more courageous and became one of the five kings.

But several of them are now complete newcomers, and it is very rare to have such strength.

This round of PK is a cappella that countless programs in later generations would not dare to do.

"I'll go with you too. It's too boring to stay at home all day, so I'll go with you to relax."

In the end, Eason Chan, who chose beyond "Really Love You", won with 35 points, followed by Xu Jianbang, and Miriam Yeung trailed Xu Jianbang by one point.

As for Jacky Cheung.

In addition, domestically you also signed Liu Huan, Mao Amin, and Na Ying.

The little Jew asked with some doubts.

He Jin didn't mind her teasing at all and took the little Jew's hand and walked over.

For such a professional competition, we naturally need professional judges to score our contestants.

Afterwards, Zheng Danrui introduced the program judges one by one.

Zheng Danrui, who was comparing work with the filming team, heard this and agreed with a smile.

But every time I track them down, I seem to leave them alone.

"What's wrong?" He Jin looked at her.

The first opening performance was a Japanese drum piece, followed by the famous Chinese erhu song "Horse Racing".

In the past two years, except for a few of the top performers in the Rookie Singing Competition, almost all the others have signed with this record company called "Huacheng Records".

When He Jin and Xiao Jue arrived at TVB, several other judges also arrived.

Compared with TVB Training Camp and Miss Hong Kong, the Rookie Singing Contest in the past two years was once considered to be in decline because there were no big-name singers for several years.

"King of Karaoke", "Kiss Everywhere", "Legend of the Wolf" and "Red Sun".

"I understand, let's go! We're all here, let's just get to know each other, maybe we'll have a chance to cooperate in the future!"

As the little Jew spoke, he wrung his hands and began to count seriously.

The judges of this year's Rookie Singing Competition are not only full of stars, but also include Anita Mui, He Jin and Lun Yongliang, three singers who play a decisive role in the Hong Kong music scene.

In 1998, China Star Records arranged for Miriam Yang to form a group that was not a group with new singer Eason Chan and senior singer Liang Hanwen who debuted at the same time.

But the facts also proved that his idea was correct. Aaron Kwok's album was released for only one day, and it created a strong momentum.

One is the TVB Wireless Training Camp, the other is the Miss Hong Kong selection, and the other is the Rookie Singing Contest.

"Jin Zai, you still have a wife to work with!"

"OK, it's great that Miss Zhou Huimin can come to participate in our competition recording. Don't worry, Jinzi, I will arrange a seat for her."

"The praise is too harsh. When the horse stumbles, who can guarantee that every album will be a hit!"

If you sign another person, will you let it go or encourage it?

Although he does have special treatment for Eason Chan and Miriam Yeung, the two of them can enter the top three only because of their own hard power.

What the little Jew said made He angry.

The judges on the stage all have their own ideas. Now, without He Jin saying a word, the limelight has gone straight to the sky. How can this not attract attention?

Moreover, he may not be able to sign them. TVB is very precious to them now.

"Brother Danrui, Vivian has nothing to do and wants to come and relax. Could you please help arrange a seat?"

After TVB’s previous rounds of non-public selection, now there are only eight people left in total for this round of competition recording.

Although the three of them have their own shortcomings, such as Miriam Yeung's aura and Eason Chan's instability.

Not long after the Rookie Singing Contest, he was highly praised by Huaxing Records, and he directly created and released an album.

Influenced by He Jin, TVB did the same for the champions in the next two years.

Although it seems to have little effect at present, TVB obviously will not give up the idea of ​​casting a wide net to catch more fish.
