After Jean-Claude Jean's success, Huaxing Records was founded. The two companies are actually the same owner, but there is a division of labor in business. Huaxing is mainly responsible for training new people. The first artist was Li Yijun, and Jean-Claude was mainly in charge of film and video business.
From 1985 to 2004, Zuo Hongyuan, Lu, Huang were the main behind-the-scenes musicians who went to China. These musicians have produced a large number of powerful singers for Shanghai, mainly female singers. Their singers are basically self-trained, such as, Jennifer, Mai, and Zuo Anan. Xu Ruyun, Xiong Tianping, Xu Meijing, Power Train, Dick and Cowboy, Ruan Danqing and Athena Chu. However, few artists really dig other places, but many people who jumped into China created the most glorious history of China, such as Qiu Haizheng, who stayed in China from 9/kloc-0 to 95, and created the highest peak with those who loved me and those I loved.
Huang An joined Shanghai on 9 1. After the release of "New Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Dream" in 1992, only an unknown album was released, which was very popular. Later, "Saving Marriage" and "Knowing the Pain of Acacia" released in China also received rave reviews.
Not to mention, Chyi Chin, a singer, is like a duck to water in China and has published many touching works.
Xu Meijing, a singer who entered the music world through a singing competition in Singapore, was wooed by many companies in Taiwan Province (including Jonathan Lee, the eldest brother of the music world), but unexpectedly chose to go to China, and as a result, she also succeeded in China.
Huang Yiling, the Taiwanese diva of Taiwan Province Province, won the Golden Melody Award of Taiwan Province Province after joining China, and joined other record companies after being bought by China, but it was never satisfactory. Through some well-known producers' attempts to return to Huayan Records, the former gathering place of China horses, we can see that the singer is quite obsessed with China's behind-the-scenes heroes.
Au Yeung Fei, Fang Wenlin, Chen Jieyi and others who have achieved good results in China. However, many singers, such as Qiu Haizheng and Mai, expect to make greater achievements in other companies after leaving China, but the results are not satisfactory, and some even quit the music scene. Before 1994, Shang Hua basically took a more traditional and conservative route, and its singers were artists with a fixed support group, so the company was quite stable, and singers also released films step by step every year.
1993, in order to save costs, the former Shang Ge and Huaxing merged into Shang Hua International Enterprise Co., Ltd. 1995, due to the competition and demand of Taiwanese music market, Shang Hua began to focus on making new music and new songs, and the company recruited a large number of new music producers, among which Shang Hua's three swordsmen, Tianjian Liu, Xu Changde and Yuan Weiren, who made brilliant achievements for Shang Hua, entered at this time.
Thanks to the efforts of many musicians and the artists' sales success and huge investment in publicity, Shang Hua has entered a more brilliant later era. 1996- 1998 is the big winner of Taiwan Province record companies. Since 1995, Shang Hua has introduced new people every year, not only in beer drinking, but also in marketing, including 1995 Xu Ruyun, 1996 Xu Meijing, 1997 Xiong Tianping, powertrain,/. The singer who was originally loved by everyone in Shanghai has become a homeless orphan and can't get the attention of the original company. Some of them faded out of the music scene, and some completely withdrew from the music scene, leaving fans with infinite regrets. However, the infinite fond memories left by Shang Hua to the fans can't be dispelled up to now, which is quite nostalgic. At present, Shang Hua is only a music brokerage company, occasionally releasing some albums in its name all over the world, but its achievements can't be compared with those of that year.
From 65438 to 0999, the former bosses of Shanghai Beach, Lu Yanqing and Lu Shiyu, as well as the musicians behind the scenes, started a new record brand, Universe Records and Tiger Music, and later merged because their performance failed to meet expectations. In 2000, it was renamed Huayan International Music. Judging from the development momentum of Huayan, they have inherited the basic characteristics of Shanghai and still take being a newcomer as their basic skill. Although the current achievements cannot be compared with Shanghai, with
In its heyday, Shang Hua recorded Hua Dan such as Chyi Chin, Xiong Tianping, Xu Ruyun and Xu Meijing, as well as unstable or established singers such as Ruan Danqing, Powertrain, Li Yijun, Wang Xuee, Dick Cowboy, Ouyang Feifei and Hong Jianhua. At that time, I was in the third grade, and it was also the craziest day to listen to pop songs. I saved my pocket money, went to the video store and bought 10 yuan's genuine cassette and the monthly magazine Contemporary Music, and explored music trends like a little expert.
At that time, the four major record companies were Warner, EMI, BMG and Sony. Naturally, they have their own Hua Dan and introduce new people every year. The local record companies that can compete with these four companies are Rolling Stone and Polaroid, and relatively small record companies such as Shang Hua, Fumao, Fenghua, Artistic Music, etc. often transmit all kinds of fresh sounds to the music scene. Later, Universal Records appeared, and after merging with Polaroid, it squeezed into the ranks of international record companies, forming the pattern of the world's five major record groups.
At the same time, BMG obtained golden dots, boulders and artistic dynamic sound; EMI represents elegance; Universal took advantage of this situation to acquire unique small record companies such as Zhengdong, Feichizhong, Fumao and Shanghua. Rolling stones have started to decline in recent years. The ever-changing world is inseparable from the ever-changing record industry. I am a loving listener, and almost every singer in every company has attracted me, so since then, there have been more tapes, but my wallet has never been bulging. From the beginning to the present, what I listened to has gone through tape, CD, vcd, DVD and MP3 step by step, and what I wear around my waist has also gone through Walkman, CD, MD and MP3. I haven't been so professional in recent years, and suddenly I miss the music scene at that time and myself at that time.
The reason why Shang Hua records impressed me so deeply is that their members are more like a team, showing their individuality in a unified style, and the essence of Shang Hua lies in their individuality. It is a kind of temperament, a touch, a freshness, giving people a fresh, ethereal and thorough feeling, and you can find poetic inspiration between the lines of the song. From then on, I thought of composer and guitarist Tianjian Liu, lyricist Xu Changde and new composer Huang Yi. These names appear most frequently in China's records and songs.
First, I got to know Xiong Tianping through Love Danube, and even listened to that album, which was as strong as the female students' obsession with Jeff Chang Shin-Che at that time. Later, I looked forward to Xiong Tianping's new album every day, singing every one of his songs and looking for his first album "Match Paradise" everywhere. You know, a new singer from such a small company was hard to find in a limited number of video stores at that time.
Coincidentally, there were two chorus lines of Chyi Chin in that song "The Wharf for Fools", so I listened to this old singer who belonged to mom and dad's era again with the help of Xiong Tianping's Gravity, so that I collected more than 20 albums of Chyi Chin.
Later, I got to know Xu Ruyun through the "Sunshine Airport" after listening to the list, and bought this tape at the Tianxing video store in Dongsi (one of the few luxury video stores in Beijing that only sold genuine copies at that time). It was easy to feel sleepy and silent after hearing Xu Ruyun's words at first, and it took a long time to discover her temptation. Her singing style and sexy lips, which were praised by the media at that time, once fascinated me. Therefore, I still have to pursue her old album and new album, as well as concerts. You know, in those days, such an unpopular singer in Taiwan Province Province had limited channels of understanding.
I forgot how to listen to Xu Meijing. Maybe it's because she is also a record singer in Shanghai. What touched me at first was not the famous songs such as Behind the Prison, Moonlight in the City, Everyone who stayed at night, but the song Spread, which made me hear the voice of a decadent woman in the city. Listening to Xu Meijing will naturally remind people of another person's name, that is, Chen Jiaming, whose songs can sting the hearts of urbanites.
In the third year of senior high school, on a rainy day, I was sitting in my dad's yellow van, and I heard the radio DJ recommend a new combination of powertrains from the shabby and noisy radio. The song "Ruthless Love Letter" has been playing all the time. I remember that the lyrics were submitted by a common people to the record company, selected and modified and sung. These two guys are full of masculinity, and their songs are like worn-out radios on rainy roads. At first, they sounded like magnets to stimulate their ears. Later, the album became more and more popular, so that when Yu Quan in the Mainland just debuted, I was always criticized for imitating the power train.
I listened to Ruan Danqing's tracing, because of her piano talent and Xiong Tianping's cross-help in that album, which also included photos of Ruan Danqing and Xiong Tianping. The song "I can only believe" that they sang together and the title song "Tracking" that started with a long piano solo were my initial motivation to listen to Ruan Danqing. So I pay tribute to the piano teacher and buy her album every time.
It can be said that these generals in Shanghai at that time had a great influence on my appreciation of pop music, and they just fit in with me and some boys and girls at that time. Then came Dick and Cowboy, who started as a cover, Li Yijun, who sang the theme song for TV series, Wang Xuee, who was proud of his hoarse voice, and Au Yeung Fei, a veteran brought out. I call it the post-Shanghai period.
Today's music scene is full of flowers, singers emerge in an endless stream, albums can not be bought every day, and people can not download them every day. The heyday of Shang Hua record company is gone forever, and no record company or team can match it. Some people say that the song "Stars are the Diamonds of the Poor" sung by several masters in Shang Hua pushed the team in the heyday of Shang Hua to a climax and ended. Today, it seems to be a commemoration.
Now, Shang Hua is unknown, Xiong Tianping has lost its fat, Chyi Chin has lost its voice, Xu Ruyun has changed its owner, Xu Meijing has gone crazy, Ruan Danqing has disappeared, and the power train has become increasingly alienated. Only Dick's father, in order to make a living, performed with Super Girl. The disintegration is terrible, and fans who care about Chinese music all the way like me can only sigh. Only memories can comfort themselves.
Today, I still pay attention to the Chinese music scene, and I still listen to different pop songs day after day, but I am old and have limited energy, which is more used as a channel for entertainment or inspiration. Pop music brings people like bookmarks in life. Every singer, every album and every song is a commemoration of a period of time, a witness of an event and a symbol of mood. When you hear these songs, you will naturally see those pictures in your mind.
