To——[1996]

……

……

In Hong Kong in 1996, although the Four Heavenly Kings are still standing, music fans are tired of it, but they can't see other male singers breaking through for a while. Jacky Cheung married Luo Meiwei in this year, and Faye Wong launched works with a slightly alternative style such as "Di-Dar" and "Impetuous" while being pregnant with Dou Wei's child, which were well received. Rowan retired from the stage that year, and his farewell performance was held from September 19 to 24. The Daming faction temporarily co-organized the 10th anniversary concert.

In Taiwan, Fan Xiaoxuan, who originally sang innocent love songs, launched an album "Little Witch's Magic Book" that was completely aimed at children, and the "three circles on the left, three circles on the right" in "Health Song" were instantly sung all over Taiwan, and also sung all over the towns and villages in the mainland.

Another singer who is a big upset is Su Huilun of Rolling Stone, breaking through the previous sweet image, and the regular singing adaptation of the song "Lemon Tree" has regained market recognition and opened another singing path.

Shanghua Records is a local record company that has gradually grown after Dianjiang, and they launched the second album "Sea of Tears" by newcomer Xu Ruyun this year.

In the mainland, 1996 is regarded as an important year for the birth of Chinese pop music, and Beijing held a grand review of Chinese pop music from 1986 to 1996.

The old singer continued to make a comeback, Tu Honggang launched "Farewell My Concubine", Xie Xiaodong launched "Cherish", and Guo Feng launched "Empathy and Farewell".

The influx of music and media portrayed Beijing as a place of pilgrimage for young musicians, and itinerant singers came to Beijing with their bags on their backs and on a bumpy train.

Overload, Faces, Heaven, and Cobra all released their debut albums this year. The Zero Point band also sang a popular song "Don't Get Wrong" that I don't know if it should be rock or pop.

To——[1997]

……

……

In the early morning of October 20, 1997, singer Zhang Yusheng was in a car accident on the way from Taipei to Tamsui and suffered serious head injuries. On November 12, after 23 days in a coma, Zhang Yusheng died of respiratory failure at the age of 31.

And not long ago, he just made the new singer Zhang Huimei popular with good songs and superb production skills. "Sisters", "So You Don't Want Anything" and so on almost swept the music scene.

Fan Xiaoxuan returned to the pure little girl style and sang "Snowman", Su Huilun continued her fool route and sang "Duck", Zhang Zhenyue's masterpiece "What to Do" was born this year, and Qi Yu launched a new album "Camel? Birds? Fish", on the ethereal and difficult road farther and farther.

Following the success of "Sea of Tears", Xu Ruyun won in the market with "If the Cloud Knows" and "Sunshine Airport", and the unique "Yun-style singing" has become a new popular favorite.

In Hong Kong this year, Yang Caini and Zhou Huimin, who are singers of the Jade Girl School in the music scene, have announced their retirement from the entertainment industry. Jacky Cheung starred in the musical "Snow Wave Lake". Huang Yaoming's "Concert of People and Mountains" is very popular. Faye Wong gave birth to a daughter to Dou Wei, and Nicholas Tse has been cheering for a long time.

Some record companies have released singer-songwriters' albums, such as Rolling Stone's "She Sheng" (Guo Jing) and Polygram's "Bamboo Gongfan" (Li Junzhu), but the response has been lukewarm. The Hong Kong music scene is calling for newcomers on the one hand, and rejecting newcomers on the other.

At the same time, the focus of Hong Kong media coverage on entertainment is often only Peng Ling's almost gone when he bowed on a solo song, Sammi Cheng's two feathers bra, etc., and some music critics can only continue to lament that there is entertainment in the Hong Kong music scene and no music.

According to the results of a survey on "The Twenty Years of Golden Songs and Hong Kong Pop Culture" published at the end of the year, people's overall impression of the Hong Kong music scene has deteriorated, mainly because the songs have unpleasant melodies and poor lyrics. Most people in the music scene deny this. However, there are also record industry tycoon Cheng Tung-han who openly admit that Hong Kong's record market is the worst in 25 years.

This year, mainland pop music seems to be thriving, with more interviews with Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities in newspapers and periodicals, language such as "commercial operation" and "all-round publicity" appearing in various media, and the opportunities for Hong Kong and Taiwan stars to hold concerts in the mainland have gradually increased, giving the mainland performance market a lot of experience and lessons. So, the year and season of the show came.

"Waiting" is a somewhat heart-wrenching song, and Lee Hye-jin's voice is incisive. "Love Me or Not" is very popular all over the country.

"Happy Hometown" launched by China Singing Guangzhou Company continues Chen Ming's peace and grasp of music's sensitivity and delicacy. Tian Zhen's "Cheers Friend" is very beautiful and touching, and the ballad-like style gives Tian Zhen a more powerful style interpretation.

Record companies began to make extensive use of the concept of planning, and gradually some personalized planning series appeared in various artist albums, and at the same time, people behind the scenes, such as producers, arrangers, planning, and publicity, gradually gained people's attention. In 1997, in this seemingly uneventful but actually brewing year, singers began to pay attention to publicity and "packaging".

Wang Lei's "Everything Starts with Love", Fly's "Thefly", Ziyue's "Volume 1", and Zhang Chu's "The Factory for Making Airplanes" became the most important classics of Chinese rock in 1997.

The Beijing rock circle released the commemorative album "Goodbye Zhang Ju" after two years of pain. The demo album "What to Do" of the Nanchang Underground Orchestra "Pangu" began to circulate in limited quantities in China at a very fast speed.

Xu Wei also launched his first solo album "Elsewhere". According to one music critic, the word "fantasy" appears 14 times on the album. `

To——[1998]

……

……

In 1998, Jing Ting, Wu Yingyin, Liu Yun, and Bei Lei, who were seniors in the fifties and sixties, held a concert with the fame of the four queens. The kings and queens of the popular music scene have all linked up with advertising songs.

Luo Jialiang's "Heaven and Earth Pride" topped the sales list for three consecutive weeks, and the new albums of Gu Juji and Liming were all pressed at a low level in the same period, and Ekin Cheng's record sales once overwhelmed Aaron Kwok, but it attracted BMG and Warner's doubts about the record sales list.

Polygram Records, which rose to prominence in the 70s, changed its name to Universal since then. Eason Chan performs "My Happy Times Concert" at the Hong Kong Arts Festival.

Xu Zhian, Jacky Cheung, and Zheng Zhongji sang a song "A, B, C, D", and in addition to this cooperation, transnational cooperation has also suddenly become popular: Kennyg blew the saxostyle in Andy Lau's "You Are My Woman", and all4one sang "i-cross-my-heart" with Sammi Cheng.

At the end of 1998, it was reported that Hong Kong's record market had shrunk by 40 percent.

In the mainland, in 1998, overseas companies entered China one after another, and Sony signed Liu Huan, Han Lei, Li Chunbo and other music veterans in one fell swoop; Baidai signed Naying in Shanghai; Warner merged with wheat field records, a cutting-edge mainland production company; BMG also came with Sun Nan, Xin Xin, and Qu Ying. Domestic companies are not far behind, and Xiyangyang Records, which has abundant financial strength behind it, has also been established; All kinds of large and small record and cultural companies have registered, waiting quietly, waiting to be divided into a piece of cake.

In 1998, Man Wenjun's "Make Your Sky the Most Beautiful" and Sun Nan's "Nan Aurora" achieved excellent results in sales, both of them had excellent voices and friendly faces accepted by the general public. Li Chunbo released the album "Poor and Rich" in the expectation of many people, and you can perceive his intention and intention to explore deeper content. Han Hong, a female singer launched by Qilin Tong Company, won a lot of applause for her song "Hometown" with "Tibetan emotions".

In 1998, mainland music works paid more attention to post-production work such as arrangement and mixing, indicating that the production power of the mainland was gradually strengthened, and the singers' sense of self-quality was also taking shape.

Also in this year, Cui Jian released his 6th album "The Power of Impotence" and held a large-scale performance in Shijiazhuang. Beijing's punk mecca "Howl" opened, and the door of the bar was written with the following 10 words: metal and old bangzi are not allowed.

Bao Luo's "Flowers of Paradise", Chenhui's "Liberation", "China Fire 3", Dou Wei's "Mountains and Rivers", "New Pants", "Modern Sky I", and Chen Dili's "I'm Happy Dead" were released this year.

Other important rock albums are "No"'s "Lost Master", "Pangu's" "**** Burn", Wang Lei's "Spring Dream in Guangzhou", and Feng Jiangzhou's "Flies in Love".

In Taiwan, Malaysian singer Ah Niu's "The Girl Across the Side" has taken Ren Xianqi's popularity to the next level. Zhou Huajian, Li Zongsheng, and Huang Pinguan sang a song "Recently It's Annoying" in Zhou Huajian's new album "People with Stories". Not only them, but Taiwan's Rolling Stone, where they are located, are also a little annoying, and the rise of other record companies has begun to shake Taiwan's hegemony over the years.

In this year, Tai Zhengxiao was singing "Acacia Like Hemp", Qi Qin was singing "What Do I Take to Love You", Wu Sikai was singing "Dancing Moonlight", and Zheng Zhihua turned from the shopping mall to the music scene and launched his new album.

Chen Sheng also published a new album "Opium Rose" in the same year, but when it was published in the mainland, the album was renamed "The Taste of Life".

`

To——[1999]

……

……

In 1999, the mainland entertainment industry was very lively: the dispute between Jin Yong and Wang Shuo, Jiang Wen's filming of "The Devil is Coming", etc., all attracted many eyeballs.

There are also many unpredictable things happening in the music world, such as the appearance of Pu Shu, the folk, electronic, and rock in the album "I Go to 2000" are all appearing, and the arrangement of producer Zhang Yadong has given Pu Shu's music more room for development, so that the campus folk song, a form of music since 1994, has begun to broaden.

The old singer Chen Lin's efforts to change his personal style have also been successful, the fashionable electronic music style in "Go Away" has changed Chen Lin's previous appearance, and Na Ying's timbre conversion is also very good, and she has also begun to try to write lyrics. Tian Zhen, who has been brewing for a long time, also launched the song "Close to Me".

Also in this year, a group of "Yuquan", which had visited many record companies and was not accepted, finally signed a contract with Rolling Stone China, and the song "The Most Beautiful" became popular all over the country.

In January, "Hua'er" released its first album "Next to Happiness", when the lead singer Da Zhang Wei was only 15 years old, which marked the arrival of the "child labor era" of Chinese rock.

Hu Mo's "Everyone Has a Small Bench, Mine Is Not Brought into the 21st Century" received 30,000 yuan in sales tax, which is the highest royalty in the history of Chinese rock as a newcomer.

In the same year, "Modern Sky" was launched as an audio magazine, "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" was launched, and "Free Music" was launched. The slogan for "Free Music" reads, "The harshest words, the most genuine emotions, the most cutting-edge rock." Music is only the means, freedom is the end. ”

In Hong Kong, the music scene lacks the same excitement as in previous years, and Faye Wong's marriage has become a major event in entertainment news.

Ye Dexian and Hui Zhi'an co-poured a new song launched, and when the two were interviewed on the radio, Ye Dexian bluntly said that most of the singers nowadays are incomplete in five tones, and it is believed that they pay too much attention to packaging, so that the quality is getting worse and worse.

A Midsummer Night's Rhapsody, known as "Hui Guanjie's creative musical", was performed 20 times at the Hong Kong Coliseum from mid-February to early March this year. The starring actors are Ekin Cheng, Chen Xiaochun, Miriam Yeung, and Gigi Leung. In the last show on March 6, Xu Guanjie personally took the stage for curtain call and singing.

The lack of outstanding original talents and works has led to a small trend in the re-singing of famous songs from the local music scene in the 70s and 80s, such as Karen Mok singing "Cold Rain", Cecilia Cheung singing "Leave Your Favorite to Speak", Lu Qiaoyin singing "Long Night My-love-good-night", Liang Hanwen singing "June Day", and Zhao Xueer and Liang Hanwen singing "Thin Water and Long Flow" at the same time.

Chen Baozhu made a comeback to perform in the stage play "Sword and Snow Floating Life", and record companies have also released CD versions of their recordings of Chen Baozhu's old songs. Kwan Shuyi, who has been dormant for about three years, appeared in late July to perform at the Widening Concert of Commercial Television.

In November, Beyond said that after the concert in December, the activities of the three together would be "suspended", which means that there will be a period of disconnection.

In December, during the return of the last performance of his solo show, Dawn publicly announced that he would no longer participate in the Hong Kong music awards ceremony and would no longer receive local music awards.

In Taiwan at the end of the millennium, Lin Yilian sang "Sonorous Rose", Zhou Huajian launched the English album "MY-OH-MY", and Qi Yu also released the English album "C'est-la-vie".

Zhang Xinzhe's "Come Back" sang softly throughout the year: We can't go back, right?

The same mood also appears in Qi Qin's songs, in his old song cover album called Century Love Song, he covered the famous song "Soul Haunting Old Dreams" in Shanghai in the thirties and forties of the 20th century, and the lyrics said-

Flowers fall and water flows

Spring is gone

Only the intoxicating east wind is left everywhere......

……

……

……

……

With the melody of "Soul Haunting Old Dreams" echoing in his mind, Lin Zaishan stopped tapping his fingers on the keyboard of his notebook.

wrote about the history of the music scene for 20 years in one breath, and he was already a little dizzy when he wrote, especially the upsurge of wine, which made many of his thoughts unclear.

The 20 years he wrote should be regarded as the most golden and prosperous 20 years in the Chinese music scene.

After entering the 21st century, the Chinese music scene has been declining.

Although there is the emergence of the genius Jay Chou, it still failed to pull the big ship of Chinese music from running aground.

It wasn't until Lin Zaishan crossed over, because of the tightening and protection of copyright policies, that the Chinese music scene improved slightly.

"I don't know what's going on over there now."

Pinching the bridge of his nose, Lin Zaishan imagined whether the music world of another world has regained the brilliance of the golden age?

No matter what, he couldn't go back.

The Chinese music scene in this plane is still stuck in an endless dark night, struggling to move forward.

And he will also write his own legend in this dark musical plane.

Another musical chronicle of the new world, he won't write it now, those are all things he has experienced, deep in his heart, and he can't easily forget them. I'll write it again when I have time.

This night, with nostalgia to exhaustion, Lin Zaishan fell asleep with mixed feelings.
