1993 My China Entertainment Age

May 8st, morning.

Century Records held a celebration banquet at the Yanjing Hotel to celebrate the total sales of Jiang Xiaofeng's "Fairy Tale" album, which exceeded 200 million copies, making it the second Chinese-language album to exceed 200 million sales this year.

The first Chinese-language album to sell more than 200 million copies this year is Zhou Jielun's "Octave Space". As of now, the sales volume is 215 million copies.

Obviously, this year's Chinese music scene is not only a competition between Jiang Xiaofeng and Zhou Jielun, but also a competition between Zhou Jielun's "Octave Space" and Jiang Xiaofeng's "Fairy Tale".

According to the current trend, it is only a matter of time before the total sales volume of Jiang Xiaofeng's "Fairy Tale" surpasses that of Zhou Jielun's "Octave Space".

Because Jiang Xiaofeng's "Fairy Tale" was released more than two months later than Zhou Jielun's "October Space".

However, Jiang Xiaofeng also knew in his heart that Zhou Jielun's record sales would surpass his own sooner or later.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng's record sales have been stable in the top three of the year for the past two or three years, in fact, his record sales and influence have declined significantly.

You know, at the peak a few years ago, Jiang Xiaofeng's record could sell 600 million copies, or even more, but now the sales volume of a record is at most about 200 million to 300 million copies.

However, Zhou Jielun's album sales have been increasing year by year, and for three consecutive years, they have been increasing year by year.

Zhou Jielun also regarded Jiang Xiaofeng as his goal, an "imaginary enemy", not only made a "bet" with Jiang Xiaofeng in private, but also announced in public that if he could not surpass Jiang Xiaofeng this year, he must surpass Jiang Xiaofeng next year.

Facing Zhou Jielun's challenge, Jiang Xiaofeng also found it very interesting, so he agreed to Zhou Jielun's challenge. If Zhou Jielun can beat him, let Zhou Jielun act in a movie across the border.

Therefore, after finishing the 15-show Asian tour, Zhou Jielun, who was full of confidence, began to retreat and write songs again, preparing to create a new album that is even better.

Regarding Zhou Jielun's creative attitude, Jiang Xiaofeng also expressed affirmation in an interview with reporters: "Jielun is very hardworking and talented. I have always been very optimistic about him."

Reporter: "Hello Director Jiang, do you think that the sales of Zhou Jielun's new album next year will surpass yours?"

Jiang Xiaofeng replied with a smile: "It's too early to say this now, let's see when the time comes."

Jiang Xiaofeng also announced at the celebration banquet that starting from August 8, the "Jiang Xiaofeng 25th Anniversary Asia Tour Concert" will be officially launched, with an estimated number of 50 shows.

Among them, Hong Kong held 12 games, 23 in the mainland, 5 in Taiwan, and 6 in 12 Asian countries including Singapore and Malaysia.

When asked if there was any box office pressure from the concert, Jiang Xiaofeng said with a smile: "If I, Jiang Xiaofeng, are under pressure, then who doesn't?"

As soon as this remark came out, the reporter was suddenly speechless.

Jiang Xiaofeng is really not crazy. You know, in the past 10 years, Jiang Xiaofeng has held a total of 219 concerts with 22 people, an average of [-] concerts per year, and almost all the concerts are sold out.

If it wasn't for Jiang Xiaofeng not wanting to make himself too tired, but also to maintain a better state for his fans, his total number of concerts might have already exceeded 300.

However, Jiang Xiaofeng admitted that he is not as good as Zhang Xueyou in terms of maintaining singing state.

Because the frequency of Zhang Xueyou's concerts is too high, especially in the past two or three years, he will hold a concert every two or three days, which is also very awesome.

While "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was on the air, the original author of the play, Jin Yong, happened to be on vacation at home, and he also compared the various versions of Jin Yong's TV series.

Including "Swordsman", Weng Meiling's version and Zhu Yin's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", etc.

Jin Yong believes that in terms of adaptation, the Hong Kong and Taiwan versions of Jin Yong's dramas have a greater adaptation of the original work, and the mainland version respects the original work the most.

In terms of shooting quality, the mainland version is much better than the Hong Kong and Taiwan versions.

Therefore, this time, Jin Yong expressed his support for Zhang Jizhong to make "Dragon Babu" again, hoping to continue to reassure him in terms of quality.

July 8, afternoon.

Jin Yong gave a speech at Yenching University and answered related questions from Peking University students. He praised the mainland version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and Zhou Xun's Huang Rong, as well as Wu Jian's Guo Jing. feel good".

As for the point of view that "many viewers said that the Hong Kong version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is good, and the mainland version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is not good", they think this is similar to everyone's personal taste, "I have been used to it since I was a child, and I feel good. ".

Jin Yong: "Many viewers said that the Xiangjiang version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is good, but the mainland version is not good. What I want to say is that I still don't like Guangdong food. Why?"

"Because I grew up eating Shanghai cuisine and Hangzhou cuisine. Many of you ate Shanxi sliced ​​noodles and Shantong dumplings when you were young. You still think they are delicious. You got used to them when you were young, and you feel good."

"I don't think Weng Meiling in the Xiangjiang version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is good at all. I think Zhou Xun is very good, but many people still think Weng Meiling is good because of this reason."

Reporter: "Many viewers think that Wu Jian played the role of Guo Jing very well. What do you think?"

Jin Yong: "He plays Guo Jing very well, sometimes I feel like he is Guo Jing."

The reporter asked: "Weng Meiling and Huang Rihua's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" or Wu Jian and Zhou Xun's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which one do you prefer?"

Jin Yong: "Some time ago I brought Zhou Xun's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to Hong Kong. Many people there said that this version is the best, and I think so too."

"I think Zhou Xun is more beautiful than Weng Meiling, and she is more in line with the characteristics of Zhejiang beauties. Of course, as a native of my hometown, maybe I have a preference for Zhou Xun."

And Jin Yong's affirmation of Zhou Xun, Wu Jian, and his "Legend of the Condor Heroes" crew also greatly encouraged all the main creators.

That night.

Jiang Xiaofeng, Zhang Jizhong and others took Liu Qianqian to Jin Yong's hotel to visit Jin Yong.

This is the first time Jin Yong met Liu Qianqian, and saw Liu Qianqian's photo of Wang Yuyan's makeup test.

Seeing Liu Qianqian's Wang Yuyan appearance, Jin Yong couldn't help admiring: "Miss Liu Qianqian, if it weren't for you to play Wang Yuyan, tens of thousands of viewers would say that Jin Yong is talking nonsense. After you act, everyone will believe that there is really such a thing as you in the world." beauty."

Liu Qianqian, who was flattered to hear Jin Yong's compliment to her, also expressed her gratitude to Mr. Jin Yong.

And Jiang Xiaofeng thought in his heart, Mr. Jin, you haven't seen Sissy's mother, but if you have seen her, you will think that Xiaoli is the real beauty. (end of this chapter)
