China Entertainment: I really don’t want to live with the queen

Chapter 119 The last king of the old era and the first god of the new era
The peak year of the Chinese music scene in 1997 was an important watershed for Chinese music, with Tao Jiji as the pioneer, Wang Lihong as the central army, Jay Chou as the commander, and JJ Lin as the wing army.

"King Tao Lin of Zhou" overthrew the king of Chinese music in the old era and divided the new forces of Chinese music.

The new force is not just "Zhou Wang Tao Lin" replacing the "Four Heavenly Kings", but also innovating the lyrics, composition, chords and creation theory of the Chinese music scene, almost redefining "Chinese music".

Tao Jiji released the album "David Tao" in 1997, with the title song "Love is Simple".

This song is not out of date in the Chinese music scene in 2023. In comparison, the "Single Love Song" and "The Rain Keeps Falling" that were popular in 1997 are "masterpieces" of the old era.

According to genre, "old age music" is rhythmic music, and "new age music" is rhythmic music.

JJ Lin and Jay Chou are sinking into darkness, and the road ahead is dim and unclear. Tao Jiji and Wang Leehom are immature and embarrassed by the wind and rain.

Xu Chen is ready to take the initiative to take up the task of "innovating" Chinese music, setting an example for the four children of "Zhou Wang Taolin", and destroying the gods of the "old era".

He will be the last king of the old era and the first god of the new era!

………………

5:30 pm, Taipei.

In October, the autumn wind on Treasure Island was bleak, and the weather was so cold that Fujiwara Kakukai could never catch up with Da Ben on that cool night.

Jay Chou wore a peaked cap, and his long bangs parted in the middle hid his inferiority complex: "Mr. Tao, Brother Chen said he would come at 5:40, so he will definitely come at 5:40."

"Xiao Zhou, do you really know Xu Chen?" Tao Jiji squatted with his legs numb. Xu Chen's "Under the Flying Clouds" and "You Are a Song in My Heart" are both epoch-making works. Listening to the album, he was enlightened and wanted to meet Xu Chen.

Tao Jiji didn't know what he was going to do when they met: "Xiao Zhou, do you know how it feels to have those kind of silly songs that are different in the entire music world, and then there is a person who composes the same song as you, and then he is still the little king of Chinese pop? ?”

Tao Jiji said a lot in one breath, staring at Jay Chou's evasive eyes, laughing at himself, he was talking about music to a program assistant, what can he understand, does he understand music?
"I understand." Jay Chou replied in his heart: "Brother Chen represents hope, not just music."

Two young people with an uncertain future in the treasure island squatted under the ginkgo tree in front of the TV station. It was really cold this autumn. Jay Chou tightened his clothes.

"Milk Tea Wheel, what are you two doing?" Xu Chen's car parked outside the TV station wall. When he came in from the back door, he saw two not-so-round butts squatting and thinking about life.

Xu Chen squatted down and took a look. The stockings of the female white-collar workers working at the TV station were very thin. There was a little girl with two thick braids who kept turning her head.

Fan Xiaoxuan is a 20-year-old girl who broke out of the entertainment industry by singing "children's songs".

"Brother Chen! You're here." Jay Chou looked at the time, and it was exactly 5:40. Brother Chen is a promise-keeper!

It has been 30 days since the last time Xu Chen said he wanted to sign him. The more Jay Chou works as a simple, rough and busy "program assistant", the more he misses Xu Chen.

Xu Chen gave him "hope".

As a "program assistant", he couldn't continue working as a "program assistant" for a moment with no "hope" at the end!
"Xiao Zhou, not only am I here, I also brought you a new song. The new song is called "Maple"." Jay Chou is half of the Chinese music industry, while Wu Zongxian is ignorant and cannot recognize a thousand-mile horse.

Xu Chen wants to lead a thousand-mile horse to "Modern Sky" in the Chinese music circle.

"Maple" is a work by Jay Chou. Xu Chen cleared his throat and sang a cappella: "The dark clouds are in our hearts, leaving a shadow, and I listen to the mood that has been silent for a long time~"

Just hummed a few words.

Jay Chou and Tao Jiji looked at each other with admiration. What is a singer-songwriter and what is a genius? Brother Chen is the guiding light in the music world.

The two of them just felt cold when they stared at the maple leaves. Brother Chen could write a song just by staring at the maple leaves!

Xu Chen conquered Jay Chou and Tao Jiji almost effortlessly. Nonsense, he is the "Little King of Chinese Pop" after all.

Jay Chou is a reserve in the music industry, and Tao Jiji is an eighteenth-level singer in the music industry. Xu Chen is willing to squat down and talk to them, and the two of them are secretly having fun~
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen, I am Tao Jiji." Tao Jiji rubbed his hands on his pants twice. He is 28, but age is not a factor in the music world.

"Under the Flying Clouds and You is a song in my heart. It's great, Brother Chen. I wrote a song "Myself", I think..." Tao Jiji is still exploring "rhythmic music", Xu Chen The two songs are mature works of "rhythmic music".

To put it simply, as soon as Tao Jiji practiced "Huashan Basic Routines", Xu Chen started playing "Nine Swords of Loneliness".

"No problem, Xiaotao, your adaptation of the Hokkien ballad "Looking at the Spring Breeze" is excellent. It combines folk music, rhythm and blues, and R&B style..."

"Looking at the Spring Breeze" is the pioneering work of the domestic R&B genre. Tao Jiji created the R&B genre, and Jay Chou localized the R&B genre.

Xu Chen made a strategic comment on Tao Jiji's music based on the R&B genre and music trends.

Even in in-depth exchanges, he is not dishonest. Xu Chen graduated from the world's number one music school in his previous life. Xu Chen believes that his theoretical level is not inferior to anyone else!
Finally, he patted Tao Jiji on the shoulder: "Xiao Tao, you can compose a new song for me when you have time, and we will sing together then."

Brother Chen is really a guiding light in the music world. With Xu Chen's status, he is a "king" and "gold" when singing with Tao Jiji.

Tao Jiji had hung out with Sun Yaowei and Chen Shuhua, and had tasted all the ups and downs. Xu Chen, who had just met him, could support him like this.

"Brother Chen, thank you for recognizing my music. I will definitely continue to work hard!" Tao Jijida respects Xu Chen from the bottom of his heart, with a true kingly demeanor.

Dongfang Mazai, the four major Mazai of the "Chen King Sect", returns to his throne!

"King of Zhou Taolin" Xiao Tao won. A few years later, the four little kings of the Chinese music world paid homage to "Long..." and to Xu Chen. They were all my followers at the beginning!

of course.

Xu Chen really wants to support the juniors in the music industry. This thing can gain fame. As for threatening his status, his shadow shrouds the Chinese music industry everywhere.

.........Xu Chen recorded "I Guess" last time, and the treatment was average. He only had 5 minutes on stage, and the big C's also stumbled him.

This time Xu Chen returned as king, and Wu Zongxian came to apologize with his big C.

Although Wu Zongxian was not afraid of Xu Chen, Xu Chen was too sharp and it was not him who apologized. Selling him to Xu Chen was a cheap favor.

Big and small C didn't dare to say a word. Their careers all depended on Wu Zongxian.

"Brother Chen, I'm sorry. It was all my fault last time. I hope you can be more considerate and don't argue with me." Big C understood clearly that Xu Chen signed a contract with Warner Bros. He had many tricks to punish her, so he bowed his eyebrows and apologized.

"Brother Chen..." Little C has a low IQ. He follows the wind and decides what to do. Xu Chen embarrassed her in the last program, and now he wants her to apologize. He is unwilling to accept it and says, "I'm sorry."

"Mr. Xu, Little C is just a pig-brained person, and he will be like this for the rest of his life." Wu Zongxian was very discerning, and he had a lot of respect for Baodao Black and White, so he gave Little C a hard look.

"Mr. Wu, it was just a misunderstanding last time." Xu Chen was too lazy to argue with Big C. He was just a stupid and vicious woman and didn't want to have more contact with her.

Jay Chou was signed by Wu Zongxian, and Xu Chen expressed his thoughts.

Wu Zongxian doesn’t think highly of Jay Chou, but Xu Chen is now competing for Jay Chou. He is accustomed to waiting for the price: "Mr. Xu, Xiao Zhou is just a program assistant. He is lucky to be able to follow Mr. Xu, but after all, it concerns Xiao Zhou himself. I want to ask Xiao Zhou’s opinion about work.”

"Okay." Wu Zongxian's thoughts were like Xu Chenmenqing's, Xiao Zhou's opinion was bullshit, and he wanted money to increase his negotiating weight.

…………

At 6:00 pm, the program was officially recorded.

"I Guess I Guess" is an entertainment variety show. This time Xu Chen is the main star, and all topics and games are started by him.

Wu Zongxian led his teammates to confront Xu Chen.

Xu Chen’s teammate is Fan Xiaoxuan. That’s right, he only has one teammate because this issue is about “listening to music and identifying songs”.

Wu Zongxian joked: "Xu Chen is the little king of Chinese pop. We are all laymen in music. It would be good to assign you a little girl, otherwise we have no chance of winning the game."

Fan Xiaoxuan is famous for singing children's songs. She is just 20 years old this year. She wears two thick braids, a red woolen vest, and a plaid striped skirt. She is pure and beautiful!
Wu Longqi is a member of the "Little Tigers". He will serve in the military this year. This time he is promoting his new album.

Wu Longqi went solo for five years, released 15 solo albums, and was almost completely wiped out. He retired from the music scene and concentrated on acting.

Lu Kongwei is Ren Xianqi's good friend.

The recording of this program was very cheerful, and the guests laughed frequently.

Xu Chen has watched countless variety shows, and there are endless jokes and jokes. "Listening to the music and identifying the music" simply beat the audience.

He took Fan Xiaoxuan and a little girl to kill everyone.

Following Wu Longqi and Tao Jijie, Jiukong learned various animal movements, making the little girl and the audience laugh with joy.

In particular, Wu Longqi imitated the "turtle" posture to swim, which was so wonderful and pretty that Xu Chen even burst into laughter.

The only unhappy person in the show was Big C. The two of them were ordered by Xu Chen to run around. They were tired and frustrated, and they had to smile politely.

MMP!

At the end of the curtain call, Xu Chen sang the song "You are a song in my heart" from his album.

One person plays two roles, and Xu Chen, who plays the female voice, imitates Zhou Shen's soulful singing voice from "The Tide Caller", which really made the audience scream in surprise.

At last.

Xu Chen said loudly: "Girls of Baodao, are you beautiful?"

There were all his fans at the recording site. The glow sticks and light signs gathered into a bright stream of light, and the screams lifted the roof: "Beautiful!!! King Chen, King Chen!"

Wu Longqi was sweating profusely and stared at Xu Chen's back. When the "Little Tigers" were brilliant before, he had the same cheers, but now he could only watch Xu Chen enjoying the stage.

Tao Jiji and Jay Chou were purely excited, Brother Chen is awesome! The "Chen King Sect" treasure island branch is just around the corner!
…………

Program recording program.

Xu Chen did not continue to discuss Jay Chou's stay with Wu Zongxian, and planned to wait for Wu Zongxian for a few days.

Wu Longqi declined Wu Longqi's idea of ​​a treat. Wu Longqi is really a good person. He not only brought gifts to the program staff, but also prepared to invite the guests of the same period to gather after the recording.

Xu Chen refused, Jay Chou and Tao Jiji refused neatly, and Fan Xiaoxuan, a brat, raised her eyes twice, but also refused.

Wu Longqi was terribly embarrassed. Fortunately, Jiu Kong was a good person and agreed to have dinner with him.

Xu Chen wanted to see "Qiong Yao" in the evening and told Jay Chou not to be anxious and wait for his news.

Tao Jiji and Fan Xiaoxuan left their contact information, and this recording ended perfectly!
