After Xiang Nan finished singing, 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 the 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 so 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" such as.
So this leaves people with the impression that Xiang Nan is conservative, traditional, and closed, just like an old master. Unlike those 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 be 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 shouted 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..."
When this voice roared out, 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, the lyrics are inspirational and the melody is nice, so it is still acceptable. But Cui Jian's song "Nothing" is too wild, so it's a little more difficult to accept.
But Xiang Nan knew that as soon as Cui Jian roared, the fire of rock and roll would burn unstoppably. In other words, it is the beginning of the first year of Chinese rock music.
From then on, rock music gradually became mainstream and became more and more accepted by the public.
So great, Cui Jian!
…
Then the next day, many newspapers reported on yesterday's concert of 100 singers.
However, it did not cause much reaction. After all, it’s hard to imagine just how good this concert is 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" has been recognized by the mainstream because of its beautiful melody and inspirational lyrics. Even the People's Broadcasting Station has played the song.
In comparison, the song "Nothing" was not supported by mainstream resources because the lyrics and melody were too wild. This also prevented Cui Jian from even retaining his title as "China's number one rock person", and his reputation was far behind Xiang Nan.
…
Entering 1987, this year was relatively lackluster.
The only thing worth mentioning is that in September, China sent the first email, opening the door to the Internet world.
The content of the email was written in English and German, "Crossing the Great Wall and Going to the World." These eight characters also herald the future of China’s Internet.
At 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 RMB 560,000. The price alone could scare people away.
You know, even though wages were reformed at that time, the annual income of most people was only more than one thousand yuan. Five hundred and sixty thousand, it would take hundreds of years to earn without eating or drinking.
Therefore, Xiang Nan bought this car, which is really cool. 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 enjoy this kind of treatment.
…
In 1988, many collective companies in Shenzhen and Hujiang 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 them in large quantities. In Vanke's stock alone, he bought more than 14 million shares.
This stock market transaction has basically spent the more than 30 million yuan 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. Thousands of dollars.
…
Entering the 89th year, Xiang Nan began to retreat and create the adventure "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", which was still serialized in the "Story Club" magazine.
When this book came out, the literary world was even more surprised.
The previous "Detective Detective Dee" was both a knight and a martial artist, which was enough nonsense. This time, it’s great. I wrote about gods, ghosts, demons, and zombie fox fairies directly. This is really too depraved and kitsch.
Therefore, the voice of criticism arose again, wishing to 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 difficult to talk about. On the contrary, whoever can make money and whoever can make more money is regarded as capable and capable.
Moreover, in recent years, as European, American, Hong Kong and Taiwan songs, movies, and TV series have successively entered the mainland market, people's tastes have also changed.
Serious literature and realistic literature have an increasingly smaller audience. On the contrary, popular is increasingly popular.
The romances of Qiong Yao, Xi Juan and Yi Shu, the martial arts of Jin Yong, Gu Long and Liang Yusheng, the detectives of 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.
"Story Club" will naturally not let go of making money and cut off Xiang Nan's serialization. On the contrary, they also offered a higher manuscript fee, which has reached 120 yuan per 1,000 words. At the time, it was considered the most expensive royalties.
