At Xiangjiang Airport, when Wen Weizhe saw Lin Qihua, he laughed and gave him a powerful hug. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Welcome to Hong Kong. ”
"Thanks, excuse me, because some work is coming, and then I thought of you. Lin Qihua explained with a smile.
"If you want to come to Xiangjiang, remember to look for me, this is my promise, the service is for a lifetime, do you think I am joking?" Wen Weizhe pretended to be angry and said, "If you come and don't look for me, then I won't recognize you as a brother." ”
"So, I'll contact you as soon as possible. Lin Qihua pretended to surrender.
"Hello. Lian Yuling simply greeted him.
"Who is this?" Wen Weizhe felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"I forgot to introduce it to you," Lin Qihua patted his head and smiled, "This is my senior sister, Lian Yuling, who also appeared on a show with me before." Sister Ling, this is Wen Weizhe, Brother Wen. ”
"It turned out to be you. Wen Weizhe suddenly realized that the flute player who amazed the world in the second issue was not this one? Quickly shake hands with her, "Hello, welcome, welcome." ”
"You are the landlord here, and I rely on you. Lin Qihua said with a smile, "The work is scheduled for tomorrow morning, so it's up to you next." ”
"Wrap it around me. Wen Weizhe patted his chest, "It's all arranged, come with me." ”
The hotel booked by Wen Weizhe, located near the famous Victoria Harbour, is one of the well-known hotels in Hong Kong with a long history and a reputation for service, with a large sky garden and banquet venues, and a view of the city or the intoxicating Victoria Harbour from the guest room.
"Thank you so much. Lin Qihua opened the curtains, saw the port scenery outside the window, and expressed his gratitude to Wen Weizhe with satisfaction, "It's beautiful and comfortable." ”
"If you're satisfied, it's fine. Wen Weizhe sat on the sofa and smiled, with a hint of pride between his eyebrows.
"What's next? I'm not familiar with life, a headless fly. Lin Qihua walked over and sat down and asked.
"I have arranged, I will take you out to experience the most Xiangjiang flavor food, in the afternoon, arrange to go to two places, one is the wax museum, the other is the Hung Hom Museum, these two places, it can be said that they have witnessed the history of the development of music in Xiangjiang, I think, for us who make music, it is more meaningful; Wen Weizhe smiled.
"That's great, we are full of respect for Hong Kong music, it can be said that it is the locomotive that leads the development of the Chinese music scene, and it is very exciting to be able to experience the history of Hong Kong music on the spot. Lin Qihua said excitedly.
Wen Weizhe is also very useful, as long as he is a Xiangjiang person, he is proud of the once brilliant Xiangjiang Entertainment, and it is very happy to hear the sincere praise in Lin Qihua's words.
After a short rest, the group set off with Wen Weizhe.
The first show, shopping.
It's different from what everyone thinks, the place to go to visit is not those high-end famous store squares and other places, but a street that looks chaotic, a street used to be densely packed with all kinds of small shops, the aroma of food and drink permeated the whole street, and countless people felt the strong street style during their stay.
"This is one of our most distinctive streets," Wen Weizhe said with a smile pointing to the bustling crowd, "Other similar places have been renovated, this street is the last piece of land reserved by the government in accordance with the public opinion to feel the purest and strongest Xiangjiang style, other places, either changed into shopping malls or developed into real estate, if it were not for this street, Xiangjiang and the world's big cities, except for the cement forest, there is nothing." ”
"Oh. Lin Qihua looked at the street and felt different, at first it felt similar to a small city in the countryside, but now with this layer of meaning, it suddenly became unusual.
Several people strolled through the streets, each holding a few strings of snacks recommended by Wen Weizhe in their hands, and eating while walking was also comfortable. And Lin Qihua found one thing, many passers-by and even small vendors recognized Wen Weizhe, but they didn't have any excited looks, at most they said hello and said a few words like a friend, without any additional expression.
"This is also one of the characteristics," Wen Weizhe explained, "In our place, most of the artists don't have a show, they often go to the street without makeup, go shopping and buy things, everyone is used to it, and they don't think that we are big stars, just like old friends." ”
"Really? That's interesting. Lin Qihua sighed, Lian Yuling also found it more interesting, in the mainland, the distance between artists and ordinary people is relatively far.
"This mode of getting along with each other can be said to be a characteristic of Hong Kong music, and a lot of music is inspired by this situation," Wen continued. This goes back to the golden age of Xiangjiang Entertainment, at that time, the entertainment industry was highly developed, and I don't know how many people were engaged in this industry, but they could be seen everywhere, and everyone didn't think they had anything special, and many creators extracted musical elements from the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of these ordinary people, and created various classic music, which was also a helpless thing, the place was too small, and there were too many people, so this model was born. ”
"That's why there was a golden age. Lin Qihua gave a thumbs up.
"Yes, sometimes when we look back on that period of history, we think it's incredible. Wen Weizhe sighed, "What's even more incredible is that at that time, TV series and movies were also at their peak, and most of the street scenes were filmed directly in such a flow of people, without road closures or group performances, and were shot directly in real scenes. ”
Lin Qihua and others couldn't help but be fascinated leisurely, what kind of era should it be?
After shopping on the street, everyone was basically full, and Shen Manni and another agent were even more groaning with their stomachs, eating too much and holding on.
"Eating so many things unconsciously?" Lin Qihua also felt a little incredible.
"Haha, it's normal, we come a lot ourselves, and we do it every time. Wen Weizhe laughed, "Xiangjiang brings together food from all over the world, plus its own pondering, all have their own characteristics, can not be found in other places, many small shops look inconspicuous, but it has been specialized in this for more than 100 years, I have never changed from snacks to now." ”
"This is inheritance," Lin Qihua was full of respect, "concentrating on one thing and doing it to the extreme is success." ”
"Yes, so we have learned a lot from it," Wen Weizhe sighed, "It's just that these street cultures, like our Xiangjiang Entertainment, have a long history and look beautiful, but they can't get rid of the situation of the river, so they can only struggle and have to accept the ending that is about to end." ”
Others were silent and did not speak, this problem is too complicated, no one can say a specific one, can only say that Xiangjiang is too small, the reason why its entertainment industry is brilliant is that it has become brilliant with the high economic prosperity of Xiangjiang in the last century, the economy has risen, the hand is rich, the demand for spirit has increased, and the entertainment industry has come into being, and the achievements have been brilliant;
Now, with the take-off of the mainland economy and the decline of the Xiangjiang economy, the entertainment industry will also move to the mainland, which is the trend of the times, and is also caused by economic, cultural, geographical and other factors, the reasons are too complicated, and the experts who specialize in this cannot fully figure it out, let alone Lin Qihua and others.
After a short break at noon, in the afternoon, the group went to the Hung Hom Stadium, the music mecca of Xiangjiang.
"It's been renovated many times. Wen Weizhe pointed to the stadium, which is not very large, "from the previous stadium that can only accommodate less than 10,000 people, to now can accommodate more than 20,000 people, and most importantly, in order to highlight its historical status and let future generations remember Xiangjiang music, it has been redesigned, and it is a perfect combination of museum and concert venue, which has both natures, and can be said to truly represent the past and present life of Xiangjiang music." ”
The crowd takes a closer look at this legendary venue. The Hung Hom Coliseum is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, like a diamond or an inverted pyramid, just like its status, which is the representative of Hong Kong music - the diamond of Hong Kong music.
"We all nicknamed it the Red Pavilion. Wen Weizhe looked at the venue, his eyes were full of tenderness, "As long as it is a Xiangjiang singer, there is no one who does not want to hold a concert here, and it is the greatest honor of his life to hold a concert here. There are also many large-scale award ceremonies that will be held here, although the venue of the convention and exhibition center is larger than here, but the meaning of this place is even more different. ”
"I really want to have a concert in this place. Lin Qihua yearned, and Lian Yuling beside him also felt the same way.
Everyone walked around the venue with Wen Weizhe, listening to his explanation, and a breath of history came to their faces.
"From here, we call it 'Rolling Red Dust'," Wen Weizhe led everyone to stand in a corridor, pointing ahead of the past, a corridor with no end in sight, "It was completed in August 1981, and on April 27, 1983, the then Governor of Xiangjiang presided over the opening ceremony, and began its journey in Xiangjiang. ”
As you can see, it was the ceremony that was inaugurated at that time.
In May 1983, Xu Jie held a concert and was the first singer to hold a concert in the Red Pavilion, which opened the prelude to the Red Pavilion becoming a music mecca. ”
