One person's entertainment

Chapter 138, another breast kill?

Taibei, the capital of Formosa Province, is a political, economic, cultural, tourism, industrial, commercial and communication center.

With the reform and opening up of the mainland in 1978, cultural exchanges between various regions have become increasingly active. Among them, the "landing" of Taiwan's entertainment culture is quite typical. Over the past 20 years, many stars from Taiwan have entered the sight of mainland people.

In 1990, a large number of tapes and records of singers from Formosa Province were introduced to the mainland. Singers such as Teresa Teng, Zhang Yusheng, Little Tigers, Jimmy Lin, Meng Tingwei, and Qian Baihui became all the rage.

Shen Lingyou clearly remembers that there was a record player at home at that time, and his parents often bought some records with songs from Formosa Province to enjoy at home. "I Only Care About You", "Looking Back Again", "The Silent Ending"... these beautiful melodies are deeply imprinted in his mind.

Due to the lack of audio-visual equipment, primary and secondary school students at that time got to know the stars from Formosa Province not by watching the TV series or movies they starred in or listening to the songs they sang, but through stickers with the stars’ portraits printed on them.

After many years, Shen Lingyou can still remember the price of stickers. A large one cost 30 or 50 cents, and a small one cost about 10 cents or even a few cents. They were usually stuck on pencil cases, books or diaries. Stickers printed with Jimmy Lin and Little Tigers were the most popular among primary and secondary school students.

During the Spring Festival of 1993, "Spring Goes and Returns" was released and attracted much attention. In July and August of the same year, many local TV stations introduced "Justice Bao" produced by CTS, which caused a strong response after it was broadcast. At the request of the audience, the producer filmed several sequels. The upright Bao Zheng, the calm Gongsun Ce, and the handsome and martial arts highly skilled Zhan Zhao in the film all left a deep impression on people. The theme song "New Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Dream" sung by Huang An was even more popular across the country.

At this point, Taiwan's films, TV shows and songs have created a "super whirlwind" in the mainland. In such an environment, many artists from Taiwan not only have a successful career in Taiwan, but also have a good influence in the mainland.

In contrast, there are very few mainland stars who are well-known in Taiwan Province, the most representative of which are Liu Xiaoqing and Na Ying.

Liu Xiaoqing was the first mainland actress to collaborate with mainstream television stations in Taiwan Province, especially in "The Last Empress", where she appeared as the absolute female lead in a Taiwan Province TV series, setting a precedent for cross-strait cooperation.

In 1993, Na Ying, who had difficulty making a name for herself in the mainland, went to Formosa Province to develop her career and released her first studio album "Thinking of You Day and Night". From then on, she officially transitioned from a party singer to a record singer. In 1995, she sang the song "Seeing Flowers in the Mist". In the same year, she collaborated with Formosa Province's Fumao to release the album "The Day Does Not Understand the Darkness of the Night", which became popular all over the country.

This year, Shen Lingyou has become the most popular mainland star in Taiwan Province.

The album "Spark" achieved sales of one million in Formosa Province, making him the first mainland singer to achieve this achievement and the seventh album to sell over one million in Formosa Province.

Album sales are the best reflection of a singer’s ability and strength.

Shen Lingyou was coming to Tiaobei to hold a book signing event, and the news had been released early. On the day of the event, the fourth floor of the shopping mall was packed with people.

"Shen Lingyou!"

"I love you!"

"I want to give breasts a kill!"

When Shen Lingyou heard the words "chest kill", he missed a step and almost fell.

Huo Wenxi had heard about this, and when he heard a fan shouting it out, he wanted to laugh a little, and then he playfully asked him in a low voice: "How do you feel?"

Shen Lingyou was stunned and asked: "What feeling?"

Huo Wenxi smiled and said, "It's just a breast kill."

Shen Lingyou glared at her and said unhappily, "What are you talking about!"

Huo Wenxi stuck out his tongue and muttered softly: "I haven't tried it, how would I know."

Shen Lingyou pretended not to hear. To be honest, everything happened too fast and it was over before he could even feel it.

Arriving at the signing area on the first floor, Huo Wenxi met with the organizer.

"Friends up there, how are you!" "Good!"

"Thank you, thank you for your support. I am very happy to be here to share my music with you. I hope we can spend a good time together. "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and "King of Karaoke" are for you."

Shen Lingyou followed the procedure and sang two songs first.

One is the most popular song in Formosa Province, and the other is from the album of this signing event.

"The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" immediately triggered a chorus from the entire audience, and the atmosphere was very good.

Afterwards, the signing began.

Shen Lingyou was already familiar with the process, and he even specially designed an artistic signature that was easy to sign and good-looking. It was efficient and not tiring.

Of course, I also became wary of "breast killing".

The signing session lasted until 5pm and ended on time.

Shen Lingyou personally apologized to some fans who missed the schedule and explained the reason. He had to go to record a variety show in two hours.

Some people understand, while others complain, but there is nothing that can be done about it.

If we continue to sign, there will still be people coming and we may not be able to finish the job by the evening.

Got in the car.

Huo Wenxi said with concern: "You are working too hard. You must be tired after signing so quickly. You should take a rest. I will call you when we get to the hotel."

"Everyone here likes me and supports me. Sign faster and sign more. It's just a small thing, it doesn't matter." However, Shen Lingyou was indeed a little tired. He raised his hand and gently touched his temple. He was afraid that he would have to record for several hours that night. He said, "Then I'll take a nap."

I went to the restaurant to eat, then did my hair style, and then went to the TV station without stopping.

Recorded tonight is "Golden Songs Dragon and Tiger Chart", a variety show in the nature of a music ranking, which is a trend indicator for the current Chinese pop music scene. Its song rankings are also provided to Shanghai Oriental Radio and Los Angeles Federal Radio for broadcast, indirectly forming an aerial network for Chinese pop songs. In addition, Japan's Tokyo Broadcasting System, TV Asahi, and Fuji TV all send regular staff to interview and report every year, invisibly establishing homogeneous exchanges between heterogeneous cultures.

The host is Hu Gua, and the whole show mainly involves singing the songs on the charts, supplemented by interviews.

Today's recording was relatively relaxed. I sang five songs and did a ten-minute interview.

Participating in this variety show will greatly help Shen Lingyou increase his popularity in Taiwan Province.

In this era, the market in Formosa Province is still a piece of fat meat that cannot be missed.

But the most interesting thing was "Dragon Brothers" recorded on the second night.

There are many "brothers" who have become famous in the entertainment industry, such as Jiang Wen and Jiang Ju, Guo Jingyu and Yang Zhigang, Wu Qihua and Wu Qiming, etc. They are all stars where both the older and younger brothers have developed well.

The "dragon brother and tiger brother" refers to the two brothers Zhang Fei and Fei Yuqing. They have a lot of funny collaborations on the stage, and their singing and harmony have attracted the attention and love of many audiences.

The program focuses on singers' performances and has become a must-see variety show for singers releasing records in Taiwan Province.
