Guangdong is the cradle of mainland pop 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, ushering 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 Ming, Gan Ping, Li Chunbo, bald Li Jin… These names shine in the 1980s and 1990s. They are the first generation of contemporary pop music stars in mainland China, with a deep imprint of “Made in Guangdong”.

[Origin: Starmaking starts with pop music]

Liu Zhiwen, who was once the deputy general manager of Pacific Audio and Video, said: “Starmaking starts with pop music.” Since the 1980s, Pacific Audio and Video (hereinafter referred to as “Pacific”) began to consciously discover and cultivate pop singers. Liu Zhiwen, known as “Boss”, was the early fortune of starmaking.an important driving force. At that time, Liu Zhiwen launched a “star-making combination punch”: he shot music videos, held a national tour, held a “Skylark Award” award ceremony, and joined hands with major media to build momentum for singers… These propaganda methods that seem ordinary nowadays were a brutal move at the time.

·The Skylark Award became a grand event in the city

In the 1980s, the concept of “MTV” was not yet available in the mainland, and Liu Zhiwen had begun to promote singers through video tapes. Every year on the eve of National Day, audio and video merchants from all over the country will go to Guangzhou to purchase the latest and most fashionable audio and video products at the National Audio and Video Product Ordering Conference, and the earliest music videos were made specifically for the ordering conference. At this time, the Pacific was the leader. Other companies could only provide auditions at most, but at the stalls in the Pacific, they could not only listen, but also music videos to watch – both audio and colorful, which caught the attention of audio-visual merchants at once. As cassettes produced by Pacific are popular across the country, the singer’s figures have also “occupated” audio and video stores of all sizes 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 Beijing Temple of Heaven, Guangzhou Wuyang Statue, Shanghai Bund, and Taipei Yuanshan Hotel.

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 presided over the establishment of the Pacific Art Troupe, bringing 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 show, the audience stood up for us.”applaud. “Singers created by Pacific packaging are always popular. Nowadays, many well-known singers were once members of the Pacific Art Troupe, and Na Ying is one of them.

Since 1981, Pacific has opened the “Skylark Award” to commend singers with good sales and good social benefits. Each winning singer can receive a prize of 1,000 yuan. Liu Zhiwen recalled that if he wanted to run for the Skylark Award, the sales of 2 million boxes was just the “starting price”, which shows the prosperity of the pop music market at that time. The 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 was valued by all parties from the beginning. At the first Skylark Award, 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. After that, 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 award 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. Guangdong media made an indelible contribution. Music industry people who have experienced that time said that Guangdong media at that time were eager to pay attention to this group of rising stars. Several Skylark AwardsCinema is broadcasted by Guangdong TV, which greatly enhances the popularity and influence of this award ceremony. There is also a story between the Yangcheng Evening News and the Skylark Award: In 1985, the fifth anniversary of the re-issue of the Yangcheng Evening News, Yangxing 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 had a deep connection with the Yangcheng Evening News. He recalled: “The evening party, flower fields and other pages of the Yangcheng Evening News were at least three or four articles every month to introduce the singers and cassettes of the Pacific. “He even laughed and said that he was a “no-staff reporter” of the Yangcheng Evening News. Sometimes he would write his own articles, “The night shift editors at that time knew me.” In the 1980s, Guangdong TV opened a fixed program “Voice of the Pacific” every Saturday to promote singers and records under Pacific Audio and Video Company. The famous local TV variety show “The Thousand Purple Reds” is also the cradle of singers. Lv Nianzu, Mao Ning, Yang Yuying, Tang Biaoan and Li and other singers appeared on the stage of “Purple Reds” to “play songs”. As a result, these young pop singers gradually entered thousands of households and everyone’s hearts.

Liu Zhiwen’s mostThe proud “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.

Gan Ping Album

·Producer replaces music editor

In June 1992, Zhongsing Guangzhou Branch established the first record company planning department in the mainland, with Chen XiaoxiaoCinema. “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 positions for them: “Gan Ping has a kind of purity who is ignorant of the world, and her singing style is also a gentle route. We position her as the girl next door; Chen Ming sings in the karaoke hall, and his voice has a little vicissitudes, so he was created as a mature woman.”

In addition to being responsible for the overall packaging and music production of singers, the producer also has the right to allocate funds and also bears the corresponding production risks. When Chen Xiaoqi served as the director of the Planning Department, he “slapped the table” at the distribution department for Li Chunbo: In 1993, the unknown href=”https://comicmov.com/”>KomiksNortheast 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 of 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 personal, and 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 felt that the style was too rustic, and they were all original songs, so they would definitely not be able to sell them. “Chen Xiaoqi then waved his hand: “If you lose money, our planning department will be responsible! “After that, the album “Xiaofang” sold over 1 million in half a year, setting off a wave of “Xiaofang fever” across the country. Li Chunbo became a hit and was also known as “Xiaofang Nian” and “Li Chunbo Nian”.

·Star-making Fire spread to the whole country

In the early 1990s, the mass cultural market that had been barren for many years was in a hurry, and the pop music industry was a blue ocean. Chen Xiaoqi recalled that it was almost no difficulty to launch a newcomer at that time: “Radio stations everywhere would take the initiative to contact us and let us go on the show. “Pop singers have become popular celebrities in the streets and alleys. They held concerts and signing parties in various places. They were as popular as the current traffic stars. There were so many fans that even squeezed the door of the venue.

In 1993, the ambitious Chen Xiaoqi brought Gan Ping, Li Chunbo, Chen Ming and Zhang Mengmeng to the north to hold a promotion meeting for singers from the Chinese singers in Beijing and Shanghai. At the end of May, Chen Xiaoqi and his group arrived in Shanghai first. Unexpectedly, this shot was hoarse: the promotion meeting was not popular, and the Shanghai media responded quite coldly. Chen Xiaoqi gritted his teeth and continued to walk north. The response in Beijing was very different from that in Shanghai. Komiks

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

25 years have passed, and Chen Xiaoqi still remembers the scene 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, which was particularly hot. The enthusiasm of the media was no less than the temperature that day. A total of seventy or eighty media attended the interview, including “People’s Day” href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema Newspaper, Guangming DailyKomiks and other important media. 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 Babaylan how to choose singers, how to organize works, etc. Many people also ask what the ‘planning department’ is, and no one knows what this is. “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; the Guangzhou Branch of China Singing included singers such as Li Chunbo, Chen Ming, and Fang Fang; White Swan Singing The signed singers of the film company include Gao Linsheng, Liu Xiaoyu, Zhu Hanfang, etc.; the New Era Record Company discovered Mao Ning, Yang Yuying, Lin Yilun, etc. 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., and Chen Lin, Xie Dong, Sun Yue, etc., the first generation of Chinese pop music stars–the “94 New Generation” was born.

【Link】Character story

In the 1990s, Guangzhou was the “Dream Capital” of pop music. It brought together young people from all over the country, and their dreams of singers fell and sprouted here. Later, many of them became representatives of the “New Generation of 94”. The city of Guangzhou records their green years.

Gan Ping: Let Chen Xiaoqi go,Almost didn’t sign up for the Chinese singer

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 that a vice president of the Guangzhou Branch of Zhongsing listened to Gan Ping’s singing at a singing competition. He thought it was very good, so he gave Chen Xiaoqi a task: to 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. Later, under the strong arrangement 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, she 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 a high score: “This girl has a good singing feeling and skills.” Later, Chen Xiaoqi went to Shenzhen to sign a contract, and Chen Ming became a signing 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 would like to record it until three or four in the morning the next day.”  

Huang Qishan: Be admitted to the “Butong 100” and stepped onto the top stage

Since 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’ to talk 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, ‘Butong 100’It is the top performance venue in the mainland. Its formation, from singers and musicians, to lighting, stage, and audio, is actually very similar to 2013’s “I Am a Singer”, and it is all the top configurations at that time. Who doesn’t want to come? ”
