The arrival of August 1 is a new year for Xu Ziming to be reborn in Hong Kong.

The "Season of the Wind" album sung by Xu Xiaofeng was officially released, but the Cantonese version of "The Season of the Wind" was released by Xinli Records, while Tony Records was responsible for the release of the Chinese version.

Xu Ziming has been on the phone with Qiong Yao's superstar company, and to his surprise, Lin Qingxia is still in Taiwan, but from the tone of the superstar company, he feels that Lin Qingxia's comeback may not be very likely.

Of course, Xu Ziming knows Lin Qingxia's current experience, she is now facing emotional entanglements with Qin Han, and the Taiwan media has spread the matter of the two very much, and Lin Qingxia should be busy with these things at this time.

A record store on the radio road has been lined up since the morning, and it is Xu Xiaofeng's "Season of the Wind" that is playing in the store.

Looking at the crowd of people queuing up one after another, the shopkeeper happily showed his chic tiger teeth, fortunately he bought a newspaper from the "Oriental Daily" a few days ago, knowing that "The Season of the Wind" would be released immediately, he discussed it with the relevant people of the record company in advance, and now it seems that it is a smart decision.

"Boss, in addition to Xu Xiaofeng's album, is there any Aaron's latest album", Arun is the affectionate name of Tan Yonglin's fans, and it is obvious that the tall and thin girl in front of the boss is Alan Tam's fan.

In 1980, that is, last year, Tam Yonglin released his second solo Cantonese album "Love to You Go Crazy"; in the same year, he released the Chinese album "Bounce Up! Sing Up!". "Love to You Go Crazy" won the platinum sales award, and the song "Don't Say Love is Heavy" won the 2nd Hong Kong Commercial Radio Golden Melody Award.

She searched for a long time in this store, and found that it had always been Xu Xiaofeng's album, today is the second day of the release of the "Season of the Wind" record, she didn't expect that this store where she usually buys records will have such a good business today, at this time, she just squeezed in front of the boss in a large crowd and asked Tan Yonglin about his latest album.

The shopkeeper explained embarrassedly: "Now that "The Season of the Wind" is on sale, I don't buy Tan Yonglin's latest album in the store, if you want to buy it, the record store opposite may sell it." ”

The tall and thin girl followed the gesture of the shopkeeper, and saw that the record store opposite was much more deserted than the one she was in.

She touched her forehead with her hand, a little lost, but she was still very grateful to the shopkeeper for his guidance, "Thank you, boss, I also bought a copy of "The Season of the Wind". ”

After receiving the money handed over by the tall and thin girl, the shopkeeper smiled: "Tan Yonglin is a very good singer, but the "Season of the Wind" in your hand is also a popular song this year, I heard that the original singer of this song is not Xu Xiaofeng, it seems that a son-in-law of the Xu family once sang this song. ”

The owner didn't dare to say more, now that the business was good, the two clerks were a little too busy, and he himself had to move the album of "The Season of the Wind" from the storage place to the front desk.

The tall and thin girl left with interest, but she was very surprised by the last few words of the shopkeeper, wasn't the original singer of "The Season of the Wind" Xu Xiaofeng?

Ten days after the release of "The Season of the Wind", it achieved the excellent results of the three platinum records in the history of the Hong Kong music scene, and was reported by newspapers and media such as "Oriental Daily" and "Ming Pao" for a while. Many Taiwanese record companies have also negotiated with Hong Kong record companies to buy the copyright at a large price, and are eager to release records in Taiwan.

As the singer of "The Season of the Wind", Xu Xiaofeng is as popular as last year's Tan Yonglin, and last year's Tan Yonglin's album "Don't Say Love is Heavy" was invited by commercial TV as an interview guest and won the Golden Melody Award. Xu Xiaofeng was also invited by many TV stations as a special guest to increase ratings.

Hong Kong Commercial Radio, at this time was not as famous as it was later, after 1988, Commercial Radio began to hold the music pop chart award ceremony.

At this time, the commercial radio station was doing an interview with Xu Xiaofeng's "The Season of the Wind", the host was the more famous singer Paul Zhong of the commercial station, and Tang Zhenchuan, the lyricist of "The Season of the Wind", was also one of the members of the famous 13-member disc jockey group Six Beer and a Half of Hong Kong Commercial Radio, and was invited as both an employee and a guest today.

The host Paul Zhong looked good-eyed, held the microphone, faced the camera in the front row, tilted his neck sideways, and asked Xu Xiaofeng on the side: "Miss Xu, your new album "The Season of the Wind" has won three platinum records so far, and the circulation in Taiwan is also very considerable. ”

In the United States, more than 10 million copies of a record are sold and it is called a diamond record, while a certified diamond record requires a lot of money. Similarly, the standard for platinum records is 1 million per platinum, and the standard for gold records is 500,000 for gold. The number of distributions is officially announced, and the final actual sales are announced by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America website).

However, in Taiwan, due to the disparity in geography and sales, the definition of gold and platinum records is also different, according to Taiwan's record market, in the past, gold records were albums that sold 25,000 copies, and platinum albums were albums that sold 50,000 copies

In the past, the standard of Hong Kong IFPI was 25,000 for gold records, 50,000 for platinum records, 100,000 for double platinum, 150,000 for triple platinum, and so on.

Diamond, Platinum and Gold Records have different certification systems around the world. For example, in Japan, platinum albums are albums that have sold more than 250,000 copies, and in the United Kingdom, platinum albums are albums that have sold more than 300,000 copies.

Xu Xiaofeng said with a smile: "My expectations for myself are not so high, the song "The Season of the Wind" is really beautiful, and the reason why the sales are so good is not that I sing particularly well, maybe my singing skills are in it, but without Mr. Tang's lyrics, without Miss Li's song, maybe "The Season of the Wind" can't achieve such an effect." ”

The camera staff changed the lens back to Paul Chung, who was moved and surprised by Xu Xiaofeng's modest words, and continued: "Miss Hui is too modest, so far, you have achieved such good results, and it seems that you have set a new record in the Hong Kong music scene. Has Miss Xu considered transforming into an amphibious artist and developing in the film and television industry? ”

Xu Xiaofeng shook his head and said: "My pursuit is to be a singer, and my biggest wish is to share my music with people who love music. There was a sense of urgency in her words, and she didn't expect Paul Zhong to ask so directly.

Tang Zhenchuan saw Xu Xiaofeng's anxiety, and hurriedly picked up the microphone and added: "Actually, Miss Xu's album "The Season of the Wind" has many opportunities, such as "The Season of the Wind", the host's first singer about this song should have heard of it. ”

"Could it really be that Mr. Xu Ziming Xu is the original singer of "The Season of the Wind", as reported in the newspapers. Paul Zhong was a little surprised in his heart, and in this interview today, the senior leaders of the commercial station deliberately reminded him that using this interview to understand the specific situation is conducive to increasing the overall ratings of the TV station. didn't expect Tang Zhenchuan to spoil the news, which flattered him.

I saw Tang Zhenchuan nodding, and then he said: "The song "The Season of the Wind", without the help of Mr. Xu, I would not have been able to create it now. The latter part of the lyrics was created by Mr. Xu Ziming, and even the song was provided by him, and Miss Li and I took advantage of it more. ”

Paul Zhong said strangely: "If this is the case with Mr. Tang, how could Mr. Xu Ziming and Mr. Xu easily give you his results, and whether there will be some problems with the copyright of "The Season of the Wind". ”

Tang Zhenchuan's face was full of calmness, and he was not at all struggling by the host's questioning, "Mr. Zhong thinks too much", Tang Zhenchuan smiled at the camera and said: "Mr. Xu is a relatively easy-going person, although my contact with him is not long, but Mr. Xu's original transfer of "The Season of the Wind" shocked me very much. At first, I thought Mr. Xu was an ordinary singer, and I actually talked to Mr. Xu many times about signing a contract. ”

Tang Zhenchuan's laughter gradually became louder as he spoke, and Paul Zhong also interjected and asked with a smile: "Did Mr. Xu sign the contract in the end?"

Paul Zhong must have guessed the result, seeing Tang Zhenchuan shaking his head, he raised the microphone again and said to the camera: "I didn't expect that there would be so many anecdotes behind "The Season of the Wind", I suddenly had an idea, why don't you finish this interview, can Miss Xu ask our Mr. Xu to sing a song "The Season of the Wind" at that time?

Xu Xiaofeng was very surprised, but immediately blushed a little, and said with a wry smile: "The host is joking, I am a singer, Mr. Xu is a busy man with a busy business, and there are few opportunities." ”

Paul Zhong didn't dare to go too far, the sentence he asked just now was a bit beyond the scope of today's conversation, and he could see from the expression of the director on the other side of the camera how abrupt his question just now.

Paul Zhong returns to the topic, Miss Xu's "Season of the Wind" this time is called a rare masterpiece, and there will be some new albums in the future, what kind of style do you prefer?

"Uh......" Xu Xiaofeng hesitated for a while, "The follow-up album is still uncertain, the key is to look at the company's arrangement, my music style, I'm not sure which one I prefer, but I like the composition style like "The Season of the Wind", I like it very much." ”

In this case, Miss Xu should be very satisfied with the cooperation between Mr. Tang and Li Yusang. ”

Xu Xiaofeng nodded in acquiescence.

Then the host of the commercial station, Paul Zhong, continued to ask her other questions.
