Mao Ning, Yang Yuying, Chen Ming, Gan Ping, Li Chunbo, bald Li Jin… This is how the “94 New Generation” was refined

After many years, Mao Ning and Yang Yuying returned to Guangzhou, the “departure” of that year to attend the event. Photographed by Wei Hui. Guangdong is a mainland stream. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks‘s cradle of singers.

In the 1980s, Pacific Audio and Video Company set the first precedent for “cart-cart stars”. Shen Xiaocen, Cheng Lin, Zhu Xiaolin, and “Tang Biaoan Li” duet became early mainland pop singers and ushered in a huge explosion of popularity.

In the 1990s, the “star-making project” and the “signing system” were fully launched. Mao Ning, Yang Yuying, Chen CinemaMing, Gan Ping, Li Chunbo, bald Li Jin… These names shine in the 1980s and 1990s. They are the first generation of stars in the contemporary pop music scene in mainland China, and they are deeply imprinted by “Made in Guangdong”.

【Origin: Star Making Starts with Pop Music】

Liu Zhiwen, who was once the deputy general manager of Pacific Audio and Video Company, said: “Star Making Starts with Pop Music.” Since the 1980s, Pacific Audio and Video Company (hereinafter referred to as “Pacific) began to consciously discover and cultivate pop singers. Liu Zhiwen, known as “Boss”, was an important driving force for this early star-making movement. At that time, Liu Zhiwen launched a “star-making combination punch”: filming music videos, holding national tours, hosting the “Skylark Awards” award ceremony, and jointly building momentum for singers with major media… These seemingly ordinary propaganda methods at that time were Komiks‘s move for the first time.

·The Skylark Award became a grand event in the city

In the 1980s, the mainland did not have the concept of “MTV”, and Liu Zhiwen had already started to use video tapes. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan promotes singers. Every year on the eve of National Day, audio and video merchants from all over the country go to Guangzhou to purchase the latest and most trendy audio and video products at the National Audio and Video Product Ordering Conference. The earliest music videos were made specifically for ordering conferences. At this time, the Pacific was the leader. Other companies can only provide auditions at most, but at the stalls in the Pacific, you can not only listen, but also music videos to watch- –It is both audio and color, and it immediately caught the attention of audio-visual merchants. As the cassette produced by Pacific was popular across the country, the singer’s figure also “occupies” large and small audio-visual stores across the country through music videos. At that time, Pacific created his first solo album in the mainland for Taiwanese singer Fei Xiang. One of the songs “Flying Youth” was sung by Fei Xiang and mainland singers Cheng Fangyuan, Dong Li, and Tang Biao. The MV was also filmed in many city landmarks such as the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the Wuyang Statue in Guangzhou, the Bund in Shanghai, and the Yuanshan Hotel in Taipei.

Fei Xiang’s first album in the mainland was launched by Pacific Audio and Video Company. To make singers truly enter the hearts of the public, the only image is far from enough. Therefore, Liu Zhiwen hosted the establishment of the Pacific Art Troupe and brought singers and musicians under the Pacific together to hold a national tour, and the response was extremely popular. Liu Zhiwen recalled: “We often perform two shows a day, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. At the end of the performance, the audience stood up and applauded us. “Singers created by Pacific packaging are always popular. Nowadays, many well-known singers have also been members of the Pacific Art Troupe.Na Ying is one of them.

Since 1981, Pacific has launched the “Skylark Award” to commend singers with good sales and social benefits. Each winning singer can receive a prize of 1,000 yuan. Liu Zhiwen recalled that he wanted to run for the Skylark Award, and the sales of 2 million boxes were just the “starting price”, which shows the prosperity of the pop music market at that time. The Skylark Award was originally just a small commendation meeting within Pacific Audio and Video, but because of the huge influence of the Pacific, the Skylark Award has received attention from all parties from the beginning. At the first Skylark Awards, Liang Lingguang, then the governor of Guangdong, personally presented the award, and Ren Zhongyi, then secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, also sent a congratulatory letter to Pacific Ocean. Afterwards, the Skylark Award became larger and larger, and the venue was moved from the Oriental Hotel to the gymnasium, and the form also evolved into a large-scale awards ceremony. Liu Zhiwen said: “It is really not easy for an award ceremony hosted by an audio-visual company to have such influence.”

The “Golden Boy and Jade Girl” won the award for the first time in 1990. Yang Yuying excitedly twisted Mao Ning’s nose. Photography: Wei Hui. Guangdong media helped the rise of pop singers to create stars, and Guangdong media made an indelible contribution. People in the music industry who have experienced that time say that Guangdong media at that time were eagerly paying attention to this group of rising stars. Several Skylark Awards have been broadcasted by Guangdong TV, greatly enhancing the popularity and influence of this award ceremony. There is another story between the Yangcheng Evening News and the Skylark Award: In 1985, the fifth anniversary of the re-issue of the Yangcheng Evening News, Yangwan and the Pacific jointly organized the fourth Skylark Award. Liu Zhiwen recalled that the arrangement of this Skylark Award was very “fashionable”: the event started in the afternoon, and first held a press conference and a buffet banquet at the China Hotel, and then moved to the Zhongshan Memorial Hall to hold an award ceremony.

Liu Zhiwen has a deep connection with the Yangcheng Evening News. He recalled: “The Yangcheng Evening News’ evening party, flower fields and other pages were at least three or four articles every month to introduce singers and cartridges from the Pacific.” He even laughed and said that he was a “no-staff reporter” of the Yangcheng Evening News. Cinema sometimes wrote his own articles, “all the night shift editors knew me at that time.” In the 1980s, Guangdong TV launched a fixed program “Voice of the Pacific” every Saturday to promote singers and records under Pacific Audio and Video. The famous local TV variety show “The Legend of Purples and Reds” is also the cradle of singers. Singers such as Lu Nianzu, Mao Ning, Yang Yuying, Tang Biaoan and Li all appeared on the stage of “Playing Songs”. As a result, this group of young pop singers gradually entered thousands of households and everyone’s hearts.

Liu Zhiwen is the most proudThe “work” is the duet group of Tang Biaoan and Li. In the early 1980s, students from Xinghai Conservatory of Music Tang Biao and An Li formed a duet partner, and were well-known in Guangdong, and Liu Zhiwen liked them. Subsequently, Tang Biao and An Li recorded and released albums such as “Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter”, “In the Rain”, and “Tomorrow Will Be Better”. With the strong boost from Guangdong media, Tang Biaoan and Li, who are “Made in Guangdong”, became the “third generation of male and female duet group” after Zhang Zhenfu, Geng Lianfeng and Wang Jieshi.

[Spread: The era of signing singers is coming]

In the 1990s, Guangdong musicians learned from the practices of Hong Kong, Taiwan and abroad and took the lead in establishing a record company planning department and producer system in the mainland: the record company signed contracts with the singers, and the producers tailored the songs for the singers, carried out the positioning of planning and publicity, and then launched the market after a series of careful packaging. This commercial and market-oriented operation that conforms to the world trend has made the development of Guangdong’s pop music scene flourish.

·Producer replaces music editor

In June 1992, Zhongsing Guangzhou Branch established the first record company planning department in the mainland, with Chen Xiaoqi as the director of the planning department. “Planning” is completely imported. Chen Xiaoqi smiled and said: “When I first established a department, I didn’t know what ‘planning’ was.” At this time, the producer replaced the old-style music editor and became the helmsman of pop music products. The promotional direction of the record company also changed from packaging songs to packaging singers.

The earliest singers Chen Xiaoqi signed were Gan Ping, Li Chunbo, Chen Ming and Zhang Mengmeng. In view of their different characteristics, Chen Xiaoqi planned different market positioning for them: “Gan Ping has a kind of purity who is ignorant of the world, and her singing style is also on the route of tenderness. We positioned her as the girl next door; Chen Ming sang in the karaoke bar, and his voice was a little vicissitudes, so he was created as a mature woman.”

In addition to being responsible for the overall packaging and music production of the singer, the producer also has the right to allocate funds and also bears the corresponding risk responsibility for the production. When Chen Xiaoqi was the director of the planning department, he slapped the table at the distribution department for Li Chunbo: in 1993, the unknown Northeast singer Li Chunbo took his own “Xiaofang” to major record companies in Guangdong, but he encountered walls everywhere. During the twists and turns, Li Chunbo contacted Li Guangping and Chen Xiaoqi from the China Singing Planning Department, and they were immediately moved by this simple and moving song. Chen Xiaoqi recalled: “As soon as I heard it, I thought this song was very unique, so I decided to sign a contract with Li Chunbo in the form of sharing.” However, the distribution department was unwilling to take on this job. “They all think that the style is too rustic, and they are all original songs, so they will definitely not be able to sell.” Chen Xiaoqi waved his hand and said, “If you lose money, our planning department will be responsible!” Afterwards, the sales volume of the album “Xiaofang” exceeded 1 million in half a year, setting off a wave of “Xiaofang fever” across the country. Li Chunbo became famous in one shot, and 1993 is also known as “Xiaofang Nian” and “Li Chunbo Nian”.

Li Chunbo’s “Xiaofang” made 1993 the “Xiaofang Year”

·Star-making Fire spread to the whole country

In the early 1990s, the mass cultural market that had been barren for many years was hungry, and the pop music industry was a blue ocean. Chen Xiao recalled that it was almost no difficulty to launch a newcomer at that time: “Radio stations everywhere will contact us to let us on the show.” Pop singers have become popular celebrities in the streets and alleys. They held concerts and signing meetings everywhere, and their popularity was comparable to the current traffic stars of Komiks. There were so many fans that even squeezed the door of the venue.

In 1993, the ambitious Chen Xiaoqi brought the four singers Gan Ping, Li Chunbo, Chen Ming and Zhang Mengmeng to the north to hold a promotion meeting for the singers of the China-singing Guangzhou Company in Beijing and Shanghai. At the end of May, Chen Xiaoqi and his group arrived in Shanghai first. Unexpectedly, this shot was silenced: the promotion meeting was not popular, and the Shanghai media responded quite coldly. Chen Xiaoqi gritted his teeth and continued to walk north. Beijing’s response was very different from Shanghai.

Chen Xiaoqi (fourth from left) and ChenMing (third from left), Li Chunbo (middle), Gan Ping (third from right), and Zhang Mengmeng (second from right) went to Beijing to hold a singer promotion meeting.

25 years have passed, and Chen Xiaoqi still remembers the scene of that day. The promotion meeting was held at the Poly Theater in Beijing. The electric fan of the theater happened to break down that day, and it was very hot. The enthusiasm of the media is no less than the temperature that day. A total of seventy or eighty media attended the interview, including important media such as the People’s Daily and Guangming Daily. At the promotion meeting, Chen Xiaoqi introduced the work of the China Singing Planning Department and its singers, which aroused great interest from the media. “They asked a lot of questions, such as how to choose a singer, how to organize works, etc. There were also many people asking what the ‘planning department’ was, and no one knew what it was.” Chen Xiaoqi said that the next day, the report of this promotion conference was overwhelming.

At that time, the four major record companies in Guangdong were all leading the way. After Chen Xiaoqi was transferred to the deputy general manager and editor-in-chief of Pacific Audio and Video Company in 1993, he signed Gan Ping, Zhang Mengmeng, bald Li Jin and others into the Pacific, and Huofeng, Liao Buwei and others also joined the Pacific; Zhongsing Guangzhou Branch includes singers such as Li Chunbo, Chen Ming, and Fang Fang; White Swan Record Company signed singers such as Gao Linsheng, Liu Xiaoyu, and Zhu Hanfang; New Era Record Company discovered Mao Ning, Yang Yuying, and Lin Yilun. The fire of “star-making” spread from south to north and reached its peak in 1994: Mao Ning, Yang Yuying, Li Chunbo, Gan Ping, Chen Ming, etc. in the south, Chen Lin, Xie Dong, Sun Yue and others were Chen Lin, and Babaylan. The first generation of Chinese pop music stars in mainland China was born.

【Link】Character Story

In the 1990s, Guangzhou was the “Dream Capital” of pop music. Here we bring together young people from all over the country, who are full of energy and the dream of singers is here to land and sprout. Later, many of them became representatives of the “New Generation of 1994”. The city of Guangzhou records their green years.

Gan Ping: She almost signed for the Chinese singer when she released Chen Xiaoqi’s pigeon. In the early 1990s, Chen Xiaoqi tailored the album “Big Brother, Are You” for Gan Ping, making her famous all over the country. What everyone doesn’t know is that Gan Ping almost missed a rare opportunity to sign a contract back then. Chen Xiaoqi recalled,A vice president of Shizhong Singing Guangzhou Branch listened to Gan Ping’s singing at a singing competition. He thought it was very good, so he gave Chen Xiaoqi a task: get in touch with this girl and guess if it is worth signing a contract. However, when we first made an appointment, Chen Xiaoqi was released by Gan Ping. He waited for two or three hours, but there was no sign of Gan Ping at all. Chen Xiaoqi was very angry at the time, but later, under the rank of the vice president, the two finally met, and Gan Ping successfully became a contracted singer of the Guangzhou Branch of China Singer. As for the mystery of “Gan Ping dared to let Chen Xiaoqi go” it was not solved until more than 20 years later: it turned out that Gan Ping thought these people were liars at that time… Chen Ming: He became the champion and joined the China Singing Guangzhou Company

In 1990, Chen Ming gave up his iron job as a state-owned enterprise and went south to Shenzhen alone to become a bar singer. In 1992, Komiks participated in the first Guangdong Dance Hall Singer Competition and became the champion. Chen Xiaoqi was a judge in the finals of this competition. He recalled that Chen Ming won the “counterattack” at that time: Chen Ming was the last in the Shenzhen team, but after listening to her singing, Chen Xiaoqi and another judge, the famous composer Lan Zhai, gave her high scores: “This girl has a good feeling and skills in singing.” Later, Chen Xiaoqi went to Shenzhen to sign a contract, and Chen Ming became a contracted singer for the Guangzhou Company of China Singing. Chen Ming is a “desperate three-girl”. He can sing for eight hours every time he enters the recording studio. She said: “There was no current technology at that time. You had to sing the whole paragraph. If there was a place that was not good, you had to do it again. In the afternoon, you went to the studio to record and record the second day at three or four o’clock in the morning.” Huang Qishan: Being admitted to the “Butong 100” and appearing on the top stage

From 1986, Chongqing girl Huang Qishan began to sing in Chongqing, Guiyang, Haikou and other places. In 1991, she rushed from Haikou to Guangzhou with the goal of joining the most famous karaoke bar in China, “Butong 100”. What makes Huang Qishan puzzled until now is that she took the exam three times before passing the exam: “Teacher Peter Chen (a famous Taiwanese musician), Xin Air Band and Na Ying all rushed into the office of the boss of the ‘Butong 100’ and talked to him: I don’t want such a good singer? Later, when I was about to go home, I suddenly received a call, and a dull voice came from the opposite side: Is it Huang Xiaoxia (Huang Qishan’s real name)? I have packed up the ‘Butong 100’.” Although the performance of the ‘Butong 100’ was only half a year, it had a great impact on Huang Qishan. She recalled: “At that time, the base camp for original music was in Guangzhou, and ‘Butong 100’ was a top performance venue in the mainland. Its formation, from singers and musicians, to lighting, stages, and audio, was actually very similar to that in 2013.”I Am a Singer” was all the top configurations at that time Babaylan. Who doesn’t want to come? ”
