1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 392 Piano "The Sound of Silence", Suona "Fireworks"

At A Rong's concert, Priscilla Chan and Pak Keung sang as backup singers in the first show, followed by Xia Tian and Wang Fei.

In the second show, Wang Fei sang "Short Hair" written by Xia Tian.

Liang, who was still in middle school at the time, felt a chill on his scalp and wondered if it was because of the cold weather.
And in summer, the song is "Goodbye Youth".

He specifically asked Ah Rong before: "Would it be inappropriate to sing Mandarin songs at your farewell concert?"

"Why not? I want to sing too! I'm about to retire, so why don't I sing anything else? If someone says something weird about me, let him come at me!"

"Hahaha!" Xia Tian laughed and patted his shoulder.

summer:

"...

Goodbye, youth

Goodbye beautiful pain

Goodbye, youth

Eternal confusion

......"

There are still quite a few rock songs in Hong Kong, but not many Chinese rock songs.

The most famous one is of course Beyond!

However, the style of Xia Tian's song "Goodbye Youth" is completely different. It is not so exciting, but very deep and serious!
Moreover, this song is perfect for the "Farewell Concert".

After a song was sung, it was supposed to be A Rong's turn to go on stage, but Wang Fei came up instead.

When Xia Tian went backstage, he saw that Arong was crying while singing "Goodbye Youth" and was even wiping his tears!

He said he was tired and felt relieved to leave the music industry, but in fact he was reluctant and felt a little wronged...

A Rong has sung some rock songs, for example, he has prepared a song called "Side View" for his farewell concert, but how to put it?

None of these rock "flavors" are right!

Maybe Hong Kong people don’t like rock music, otherwise Beyond wouldn’t have had to go to Japan later.

The rock songs sung in the summer have a completely different style, and you can tell the difference almost as soon as you listen to them.

No matter whether fans like it or not, the impression is definitely very deep.

At this time, far away in inland Yanjing, Wang, who has never made headlines, has been learning violin since elementary school and is preparing for the entrance exam to the Conservatory of Music next year. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his head!
Luck is less~
……

At the third concert a few days later, Wang Fei sang "Unrepentant", while A Rong and Xia Tian sang his classic song "Silence is Golden".

There is another song, "The Sound of Silence", an English song sung by Xia Tian, ​​A Rong and A Qiang while playing the piano on the stage. It was a song from 64 and served as the theme song for the American movie "The Graduate" in 67.

In the fourth concert, A Rong sang "Can't Say Goodbye".

Principal Tan also felt a chill on his head: I love this song so much! Why, why do I feel so heartbroken? !
And Xia Tian sang "Pearl of the Orient".

The copyright of this song was purchased through Cinematheque and the lyrics were rewritten in Mandarin.

This song was originally the theme song of the Hong Kong drama "The Road Ahead" in 81. It was composed by the famous Hong Kong composer Joseph Koo and sung by the famous singer Jenny Tseng.

At the end of 84, we signed the "Joint Declaration" with the troublemaker Britain. This marked the beginning of a wave of immigration from Hong Kong that lasted for several years.

In 86, Luo Dayou composed a Cantonese version of "Pearl of the Orient", sung by the famous singer Kwan Ching-kit.

Now, Xia Tian has bought the copyright, added some Mandarin lyrics, and is singing it at Hung Hom Stadium.

"The river bends southward
Flow to Xiangjiang to take a look

Pearl of the Orient, my love

Is your style still romantic
……

Let the sea breeze blow for five thousand years

Every teardrop seems to speak of your dignity
Let the tide accompany me to bless you

Please don't forget, I will never change, yellow face!
Please don't forget, I will never change, yellow face! "

If you sing this at this time, some insects might come out and chirp. But you don't have to worry about this in the summer.

Don’t keep those who should leave!
……

Of course, there were some minor problems.

For example, Wang Fei forgot the lyrics while singing on the stage!
She is also open-minded and has a strong psychological endurance. She composed the lyrics on the stage without changing her expression.

He was so calm as if he was the original singer.

Until the end of December, the last concert of this year.

Summer is the last time I will be singing as a backup singer. I won’t care about it after the New Year because I still have to be busy with the Spring Festival Gala, and there are only a few shows left.

For this last game, we have to do something fancy, right?

So—he came on stage playing the suona!
From the time he was born to the seventh day after his birth, Xia Tian can confidently say that he has reached the pinnacle of domestic suona performance!
There may be a few old gentlemen who are more skilled than me, but their lung capacity is not half as good as mine.
If they play the suona with me, I can make them suffocate!
And A Rong also put on some fancy moves, he sang a dance song called "Night" and started doing a robotic dance!

After learning for more than two months, I finally get to show it off.

Maybe this will be our last show, so we have to give it our all!
The entire Hung Hom Stadium was filled with the deafening screams of fans and the entire stadium felt like it was buzzing!
But even so, the sound of the suona in summer is clearly audible, covering everything~
The last song was sung by Arong, Xia Tian and Wang Fei.

Rock song "Fireworks"!
Wang Fei is the keyboardist, Xia Tian is the guitarist, and A Rong is the lead singer.

The three of them were wearing black leather jackets and leather pants!

Xia Tian once strongly objected, but A Rong must wear leather pants to rap rock!

Xia Tian: What kind of stereotypes are these?!

After much persuasion, I didn't hang all the iron chains and nails on myself. These decorations alone must weigh four or five kilograms! Carrying weight on stage, that's right!
It's not easy to sing rock and roll~
The three of them posed, the lights flashed, the prelude sounded, and the party started!
“This is a show with no ending!
All inclusive, absurd and crazy
As sad as a child!

Quietly, sleeping on the ground
......"

Suddenly three people began to roar:

“Now I am a little tired
Tired like a wild flower broken by the wind
So, I started to change

Become like a rolling blazing firework!

......"

Sparks began to burst out around the stage, and in an instant, there were fireworks!
Everything is burning at this moment, in the stadium, in everyone's heart, and in everyone's mind!

Compared to A Rong's fans who were so excited that they cried and screamed, Wang Fei seemed to be even more excited.

This song "Fireworks" seemed to have ignited the passion in her heart!

As soon as she got to the backstage, she ignored everything else and hugged Xia Tian and gave him a passionate kiss in public. She couldn't pull him away, and she just wanted to kill Xia Tian on the spot!
Xia Tian grabbed her wrist with one hand and couldn't pull it apart. It was like they were glued together!
As a last resort, he stroked her back with the tip of his thumb - just a stroke, and then Wang Fei shuddered, and threw herself into his arms and calmed down.

Xia Tian whispered seriously, "Your love is sudden and overwhelming, but it will also fade away like the tide at some point. You should think about it calmly. When it comes to love, if you give it to the wrong person, you will be hurt."

Wang Fei looked hurt when he heard this: You are telling me this at this time? You should kiss me hard!

"Why not? How am I worse than Sister Ying?"

Xia Tian: "She is a little prettier than you~"

Wang Fei rolled her eyes - she had to admit that Sister Ying was indeed prettier than herself. But I am more clingy~
As a result, the staff kept signaling with their eyes: Brother Tianer, look over there. Sister Aying!

Well, of course Aying came to see the concert. She was already backstage and witnessed the whole thing.

Staff: It’s broken! Mars is about to hit the Earth!
In fact, they are used to similar scenes - as artists, they are passionate, right?

But this was caught on the spot, this...

However, what they didn't expect was that Ah Ying smiled and took out a tissue and handed it to Wang Fei: "Okay, okay, wipe your face quickly. You're sweating and crying. Your makeup is all ruined~"

While saying “thank you sister Ying”, Wang Fei quickly turned her head and wiped her face, afraid that people would see that her makeup was smudged.

The staff were stunned: Brother Tianer, you are our God. My family will worship you from now on. My family has been a only-son family for three generations. Please bless me!
Finally, A Rong, who was saying goodbye to his fans on the stage, also came down - the applause in front of him kept going on and it was difficult for him to leave.

As soon as he came down, he hugged Xia Tian and Wang Fei and burst into tears backstage.

He cried and thanked Xia Tian: "Tian'erzi, thank you. This will be my best farewell. I will always remember this day!"

In the last few days of the year, the Hong Kong entertainment industry was discussing A Rong's farewell concert.

There is so much to say about these concerts.

Those songs were rock songs of different styles, and they were all in Mandarin.

There are also many songs with summer lyrics, and Wang Fei, who has performed very well and has begun to take over Zhang Guorong's popularity...

A lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Although A Rong is about to retire from the music industry, he is still stirring up the music scene.

During this period, even Principal Tan was not as popular as him.

……

89 years have passed just like that. Although I spent most of this year's summer in Hong Kong, the earth still turns without him, and many things still happen according to the established trajectory.

such as:

On November 11, the Berlin Wall collapsed and East and West Germany merged... East Germany underwent drastic changes.

On November 11, Lianxiang Group Co., Ltd. was established in Beijing.

On December 12, the United States launched a military operation against Panama code-named "Just Cause". In just 20 hours, it took control of most of the Panamanian military barracks and overthrew the Noriega government.

On December 12, the underground cultural relics warehouse of the Palace Museum was completed.

The total construction area is more than 5,400 square meters, with three underground floors, all of which are reinforced concrete frame structures, and the foundation is treated with special waterproof and moisture-proof technology. The warehouse is equipped with advanced electrical, safety, fire protection and other equipment.

It won’t be so easy to see your baby in the future.

This year, Kingsoft Software in the mainland released WPS 1.0 and Kingsoft I Chinese Card, and subsequently almost monopolized the domestic desktop light printing field.

According to Thunder Monkey King, the emergence of a computer virus at the end of this year sparked his interest.

In order to solve the problem of virus infection in the school computer room, he and his classmates developed "Immunity 90", which was the second commercial software he wrote.

"Immunity 90" was sold at a price of 260 yuan per copy. After it was released, dozens of copies were sold in Jiangcheng, and the two earned several thousand yuan each.

With the teacher's recommendation, "Immunity 90" also won the first prize of scientific and technological achievements for college students in Hubei Province.

Because he published many articles about viruses in magazines such as "Computer World", Lei Jun became a well-known "anti-virus expert" at the time.

He also published an academic paper in the academic journal "Computer Research and Development", which was selected into the proceedings of the first Youth Computer Conference.

Even the Hubei Provincial Public Security Department invited him to give lectures on anti-virus technology.

Xia Tian: I suspect he is cheating! I suggest you investigate it!
And there is also the "cheating" Shi Yuzhu.

This guy has an undergraduate degree in mathematics from Zhejiang University and a master's degree from Shenzhen University. He was originally assigned to the Statistics Bureau, but started his own business after working there for a few months.

He took 4000 yuan and the desktop typesetting and printing system software he developed, and went directly to Pengcheng to make something for nothing - by placing advertisements in newspapers.

Four months later, he became a millionaire, and what happened next was even more legendary...

This year, the country began to charge fees for higher education, although it was only a symbolic amount of 200 yuan. This 200 yuan tuition fee was a crucial step in charging for higher education.

……

The end of an era begins when people start to remember it.

The eighties are over...
