Seeing that the fans were almost crazy, Chen Xuanting looked at Li Ruotong beside him, she originally said that she was not interested in the Little Tigers concert, but at the moment she also sang gently along with the melody, obviously, she also fell into this lively carnival atmosphere.

Looking at the three young children who were jumping around on the stage and were full of enthusiasm, Chen Xuanting suddenly had a feeling like a dream.

For the Little Tigers, Chen Xuanting can be said to have a very strange plot, perhaps because of a piece of history that accompanied him growing up at that time.

For many mainland fans, the so-called pop music scene in the late 1980s was actually the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene, and because of the relationship between language and culture, it seems that the Taiwan music scene is the closest to us. The sound memory of that era - Teresa Teng and Zhang Mingmin have become a thing of the past, the campus folk songs represented by Luo Dayou's "Childhood" are still in my ears, Wang Jie and Tong Ange are in charge of bitter love songs, and then there is the Little Tigers.

It is said that in the summer vacation of 1988, Wu Qilong was setting up a stall to sell clothes in the eastern district of Taipei, and his family's economy was "out of order" and he was in debt, and at the age of 18, he had to work and study part-time to subsidize his family. He attended a sports college, majoring in taekwondo and judo, and his 8-pack abs were already showing signs at that time.

The scout found that the young man had handsome eyebrows and well-proportioned physique, so he left his contact information, and he only knew how to talk to people. Because Wu Qilong at that time had no time to watch TV, couldn't sing, and couldn't dance. He didn't have a week, and since the first year of junior high school, he spent his weekends and weekends doing odd jobs: washing people's cars, cleaning up building garbage, waxing stairs, working as a swimming lifeguard, going to an electronics processing factory to install parts, and going to an ice cream factory to do packaging...... This life continued throughout his adolescence, from the age of 13 to 18.

When Wu Qilong was selling clothes in the Eastern District, in another corner of Taipei, Su Youpeng was full of thoughts about being admitted to Jianguo Senior High School. Jianzhong is one of the best high schools in Taipei, and being admitted to Jianzhong is equivalent to stepping into the threshold of university with one foot. He is the eldest son in the family, he has always been obedient and excellent in schoolwork, and he is only 15 years old and has 1000 degrees of myopia. Because he and his mother were born on the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, there are "two moons" at home, so they are named "Youpeng".

Compared with these two ignorant boys, Chen Zhipeng, who lives in Taichung, was the first to aspire to enter the entertainment industry. He was born in a conservative well-off family, and his father is said to be more like Chen Xuanting than him. His mother opened a hair and beauty salon, and when this little chubby child opened his eyes, he saw big mirrors and the efforts of people in front of the mirrors to dress up beautifully.

Chen Zhipeng recalled that the magazines in his mother's beauty salon for customers to read and pass the time became his initial source of acting information. However, these celebrity information from Hong Kong and Taiwan soon could not meet his needs, and he saved all his pocket money to buy cassette tapes and buy star posters and magazines abroad, especially those of Yuben. Akina Nakamori and the boy idol group "Youth Team" are the objects of his obsession.

Pop is a gradual line that follows the trend step by step, and the pop culture chain in the entertainment industry at that time was like this: the book imitated Europe and the United States, Taiwan imitated the book, and the mainland imitated Hong Kong and Taiwan. The wind of youth idol groups is blowing, and at the beginning of the establishment of the Little Tigers, their copied prototype was the "Youth Team" of the book.

In July 1988, Taiwan's Kaili Records launched a "Youth Confrontation" program, aimed at young students, the content was quite fresh, and several girls composed of "kitten team" served as the host's assistant, and the program was very popular. It was suggested that three male assistants should be added to make the picture balanced. Kaili Company then openly recruited 3 male students from the public. Because there is a "kitten team" in front, according to the cat and the tiger, the boys' group should be called the "Little Tiger Team".

It was at this time that Wu Qilong received a call from the company, "We want to choose an assistant for the program, do you want to come here?" He didn't understand what the other party was talking about, and he didn't know what the TV assistant was about, so he had to continue with uh-huh. The people in the company don't give up, don't give up, chat with Wu's mother, and talk for two or three hours a day. On the day of the audition, my mother said that the phone calls have been made for a week, and it is also very hard, so you can go and have a look and increase some social experience.

At that time, the draft was far from the pomp and circumstance of today's "fast men" and "supergirls", and a group of half-grown boys gathered in a small rehearsal room. Wu Qilong saw that some people were quite professional, "I wore a hat, a cape, and a big bag, and I didn't talk when I came in, so I started to change my jazz shoes!" ”

This "professional" who wears jazz dancing shoes is 17-year-old Chen Zhipeng. At that time, he had been studying ballet for several years. "It was my sister who vigorously promoted it, and repeatedly patted my chest with my parents to ensure that I would never learn badly, so I was able to fulfill my wish. It's not enough to have my older brothers and sisters as my audience, I long for more people to praise me, more eyes to look at me. Although Chen Zhipeng on the talent show is still only a high school student, he already has a lot of experience performing in front of everyone, "I have called nearby neighborhood children to the park to watch my performance."

Su Youpeng came with his classmates in middle school uniforms, and he looked like an honest child. Wu Qilong's scalp tingled as soon as he heard that there was going to be a talent show, "but I was in the innermost, and I had to go through the entire rehearsal hall when I went out from the door, so I had to watch what they were performing over there." When it was his turn, Wu Qilong asked a person in front of him to borrow a music tape and take the "shaking body" he had just learned. I didn't think it was interesting, so I finally took advantage of my body and did a nice backflip.

In this way, the three and a half children came together and became the first student band in Taiwan, and in just a few months, they became the idol of teenagers. The release of the two singles "Colorful Sky Colorful Dream" and "Green Apple Paradise" swept the entire Asian music scene. Their popularity in Asia surpassed that of Michael for a while? Jackson and the Beatles.

The music company is based on the different characteristics and styles of the three of them: Wu Qilong has a perfect physique like an athlete, a handsome demeanor, he is the "Thunderbolt Tiger" and the leader of the three; Su Youpeng was admitted all the way from Jianzhong to National Taiwan University, and his excellent image as a good student undoubtedly increased a lot of positive comments for the Little Tigers, and he was the youngest, from which the "good tiger" came; As for Chen Zhipeng, the average score of both songs and dances is above 80 points, but Wu Qilong is not as good as Wu Qilong, and Su Youpeng is in the text, and there is no special personal characteristic score higher than the other two - except that Chen Xuanting has become a topic of conversation since his debut, the company gave him the title of "Little Handsome Tiger".

In this way, the three-headed little tiger began to roar in the entertainment industry and became the number one idol group in the Asian Chinese music scene.

Just as Chen Xuanting was thinking about it, the Little Tigers on the stage had already sung several popular songs in a row.

At this time, Wu Qilong, the "Thunderbolt Tiger" as the team leader, took the microphone and said: "Thank you for coming to our Little Tigers' farewell concert today, really, thank you." ”

There was a thunderclap in the audience.

Wu Qilong and the three of them had tears in their eyes and said, "Our Little Tigers have been able to get to where they are today because of your support and help. From the beginning of '88 to the present, in these four years, you have supported and loved us rain or shine. With your sincerity and friendship, you have written the history of the growth of our Little Tigers. So, we want to thank you again! ”

"As the last concert tonight, we specially invited a mysterious guest, he is from Hong Kong, known as the 'Four Heavenly Kings' by the music industry, he works hard, whether it is singing or making movies, he does his best, everyone says, who is he?"

Wu Qilong pointed the microphone at the audience.

In an instant, a tsunami-like cry sounded: "Andy Lau-!" ”

"Yes, that's him! Now let's invite Mr. Andy Lau to the stage and sing a song for everyone! "With the Tigers stepping down. Andy Lau, as a guest, is about to take the stage.

At Taipei Stadium, the audience was crowded, and countless fans waved the light sticks in their hands, forming a beautiful scenery, and the deafening cheers were even more impressive. It's just that it's just dark on stage, and you can't see anything.

This is the opening scene before Andy Lau takes the stage.

When the cheers of the fans decreased slightly, and they began to wonder why Andy Lau had not yet appeared, it was still dark on the stage, but the sound of piano playing sounded.

The music is soft, like smoke, and like a scent, wafting out from the depths of the stage and gradually filling the audience. The reason for this feeling is that the music is so ethereal and dreamlike that fans suddenly have a feeling of floating in the music.

The piano continued to sound, the lights on the stage were bright, and Andy Lau was dressed in a snow-white suit and walked slowly to the front desk. In such an atmosphere, fans seemed to be meeting their idols in a dream, and suddenly let out bursts of screams.

Andy Lau had a faint smile on his face, raised the microphone in his hand, and began to sing: "Am I waiting for a girl or waiting for a love affair that sinks into the sea ......of suffering, no one cares about the flowers, the flowers bloom, and the uncertain love sways from side to side, so I have to stuff the sadness into my heart."

"Ice Rain", which has recently become popular in the Chinese music scene, once again echoed at the venue of the Taipei Gymnasium. Fans of Andy Lau don't know how many times they have heard this song, and there are many versions, but fans suddenly found that they have never thought that it was so touching today, and it seems that Andy Lau's singing voice is not coming from the ears, but Andy Lau singing in his heart. "This is my direct heart-to-heart communication with my idol, and I am the most confidant of idols." Every fan suddenly had this feeling in their hearts.

No one noticed the piano anymore, but the piano deeply touched the heartstrings of the fans without the fans noticing, and set off Andy Lau's singing to an unprecedented infectious height, and there was a voice that was singing in a low voice, and the fans could not distinguish it very clearly, but this harmony perfectly blended with Andy Lau's singing, resulting in a dreamy effect.

The song "Ice Rain" ends lightly in the aesthetic artistic conception, which makes people have a long aftertaste.

Andy Lau walked to the edge of the stage with the microphone in his hand and said affectionately to the fans below: "Just now, I received a song that was written for me by a friend of mine, called "Today"! Now, I'm singing for the first time, and I hope you enjoy it! ”

"After going through the years, I found out how imperfect the world is, success or failure, there are always some illusions, how wide the sea is, how deep the rivers and lakes are, and only people in the bureau understand. ......" then sounded melodiously on the stage in "Today", which was once popular in the previous life.

Everyone is immersed in this song and can't help themselves. With Andy Lau's singing, it evokes the memories of many people. Bitter and sweet, laughter and sorrow come together.

Especially the bullish security guard who helped Chen Xuanting deliver the song was even moistened at the moment and muttered to himself: "It's so touching, why is this song so good?!" Whining! ”

"Today, I am very happy to be able to sing on stage as a special guest of the Taiwan Little Tigers. Like the Little Tigers, from yesterday to today, every step of my way is inseparable from the support and encouragement of all fans, and this song "Today" is my answer to the fans' love. The road ahead is boundless, let's go together, full of wind and frost, as long as you are by my side. At the end of the song, Andy Lau's sincere confession caused a wave of turmoil and set off the first ** of the concert.

"Andy Lau, we love you!" Countless voices shouted like this.

No one noticed that the sound of the piano did not disappear, but it became low, faintly responding to the shouts of the fans, and the mixed sound was actually full of musicality, and the stadium became a sea of music, and all the sounds were now music. Unaware of this, the fanaticism continues to run high.

Andy Lau was also emotionally aroused by the atmosphere of the scene, and it was not the first time for him to be a guest at the concert, but this time, it made him deeply appreciate the enthusiasm of Taipei fans, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with being a guest of the Little Tigers.

Speaking of Andy Lau as a guest singing this time, it is also the most unique in form, from beginning to end, there are no special lights, no accompanying dance, and the accompanying instrument is just a piano, only Andy Lau is singing alone, but fans don't feel monotonous at all, but feel that this is Andy Lau's best performance, that fluttering feeling, even after a long time, fans who watched this concert are still talking about it. No matter who says it, it is all in this tone: "When Andy appeared as a guest of the Little Tigers, we started shouting, but when he started singing the new song "Today", we all felt that just shouting was not enough, because that song pointed directly to people's hearts!" ”

In this way, no one could have imagined that Chen Xuanting's temporary song "Today" for Andy Lau sang popular overnight through the stage of the disbandment of the Little Tigers, and his name Chen Xuanting also resounded in the Taiwan entertainment industry, especially the music industry. has become a songwriting talent on the same level as Li Zongsheng and Luo Dayou.

Happy time always flies quickly, Andy Lau sang two songs in a row, and then said: "Okay, thank you for giving me face today, but after all, I am a guest and I can't steal the limelight from the host's house, and the next stage will be handed over to the Little Tigers!" ”

Andy Lau wanted to step down after speaking. Who knows, the fans don't sell it, nonsense, it's already a surprise to see Andy at the Little Tigers concert, how can he let him run away so easily?!

"Andy, one more!"

"One more, Andy!"

The shouts of landslides and tsunamis came one after another, impacting the entire concert scene.

Chen Xuanting had to marvel at Andy Lau's popularity, it seems that the popularity of this Hong Kong king is no less than that of the local Little Tigers who are popular all over Taiwan, and it is even better.

Wu Qilong and others were also amazed at the fans' liking for Andy Lau, deep in their hearts, they have always regarded Andy Lau as an idol, so there was no jealousy at all, Wu Qilong took the stage on behalf of the Little Tigers and said: "Andy, since everyone likes you so much, you can sing one more song!" ”

Andy Lau was a little embarrassed, didn't he steal the limelight from others like this? Suddenly, he had an idea and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll be respectful and obey!" ”

The whole concert scene returned to calm, and everyone was looking forward to seeing what Andy Lau would sing on stage.

"Everyone may know that the song I just sang, as well as the previous songs, was composed by a good friend of mine, and today he also came to this concert site, do you want to meet this mysterious musical talent, and then let him sing a song with me?!" Andy Lau shouted vigorously.

The fans in the audience were tickled: a musical talent? Is it the mysterious person who created "Ice Rain", "It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry", and "Men Should Be Self-Improvement"?

After a moment of astonishment, everyone became excited, "To-!" I want to see him! ”

Li Ruotong, who was sitting next to Chen Xuanting, unknowingly muttered to Chen Xuanting: "These people are crazy! I don't know what kind of talent that talent is like? As a flight attendant, she often flies around, and she knows where things are going on in the Hong Kong music scene.

Just as Li Ruotong finished muttering, Andy Lau suddenly said loudly: "I have my good friend - Chen Xuanting!" ”

With this sentence, Andy Lau waved to a corner of the stage in a dashing manner, and the lights that originally only shone on Andy Lau suddenly illuminated the corner of the stage, which was the VIP seat where Chen Xuanting and Li Ruotong sat together.

"Huh?!" Li Ruotong's eyes widened and he looked at the people around him in disbelief. The blow Chen Xuanting gave her made her difficult to accept for a while.

Seeing the lights coming over, Chen Xuanting was not uncomfortable, but smiled at the audience at the right time.

This sudden change immediately attracted the attention of the audience to Chen Xuanting, and the girls in the front row had already begun to scream: "Wow, so handsome!" ”

In fact, the word "handsome" does not describe a man who is handsome and good-looking, but describes the demeanor of a man's behavior. What's more, Chen Xuanting himself is also very handsome and elegant, coupled with his incomparable elegant and calm temperament, which is not comparable to ordinary people.

"Handsome guy, we love you!" His name was not clear, and the girls used a generic name.

Li Ruotong couldn't sit still, what, how handsome? In my opinion, crickets are right! But my heart is very strange, I can't imagine that this Chen Xuanting is so bullish, or a creative talent! I don't know if it's true or not...... The girl's heart throbbed.
