Chapter 49 Let’s see what you can argue with me about!

 The Beijing University Auditorium was built in 1926. It is a simple and solemn place. Many celebrities once left wonderful speeches and left their footprints here.

On this Sunday morning, another group of special guests were welcomed here.

When Huang Zhong and the others arrived here, it was already close to nine o'clock in the morning, and there were many young students crowding outside the main entrance of the auditorium.

Because it was Sunday, students had no classes. I heard that there were activities in the auditorium, and they were related to pop music. Of course, the students were attracted by the news.

When it comes to popular music, Hong Kong and Taiwanese music is certainly the most popular at the moment.

Young students are always the most avant-garde in their thinking.

This also caused the college students who came in later to find that the huge auditorium was already full.

"Come, come, I know that person, it's the thin man. I've seen the picture on the cassette, he is Hou Dejian."

"Which Hou Dejian?"

"The one who wrote Descendants of the Dragon."

"Oh, it's really amazing!"

The college students were talking a lot and recognized many celebrities from this team.

A young girl suddenly screamed: "Wow, Suri, if the wine is sold for nothing, it will make me cry!"

The girl next to her was also very excited: "The one wearing glasses is Luo Dayou. I like his childhood the most. On the banyan tree by the pond, cicadas are gently calling summer..."

This person sang like this, and Luo Dayou in the crowd seemed to hear it, and smiled and waved to this side.

It is not easy for them to come to the mainland, mainly because of the strict control there.

For example, a certain bald guy named Ling came to the mainland to film Eight Thousand Miles Road Yunheyue, but was banned after returning.

It happened that Luo Dayou and the others were going to Guangcheng from Hong Kong Island to attend an official event there, so they were invited to come here.

In this era, because most of the songs in China are covers of Hong Kong and Taiwan songs, you may not know the original singers well.

But obviously the group of college students is not included, so only some college students present can recognize these celebrities.

People of any generation will chase stars, but the stars they chase are different.

"Wow, that's Tam Wing-lin from Hong Kong Island!"

Someone discovered another heavyweight and was immediately excited.

In the 1980s, there were no Four Heavenly Kings on Hong Kong Island. The idols who were active in the music scene were Tan, Zhang Mei, Chen and others.

College students don't know that there is someone more powerful than Tan Gexing in this team.

That is the big boss in the Hong Kong music circle: Gu Jiahui.

This person is as famous as Huang Zhan and has collaborated on many projects, such as Shanghai Beach, the 1983 version of The Condor, etc.

Last year, a film viewing party was held in the renovated Frontier City, and the 1983 version of The Condor was introduced. The cost was shared by all local TV stations.

So the impression that people got later was that every TV station showed the Condor.

It was introduced last year and completed this year. It was first broadcast in some southern provinces and cities and immediately became a sensation.

Several of the theme songs immediately became popular all over the country, competing with those in Shanghai in the previous two years.

This Mr. Gu was invited to Yangcheng for this reason, and was then invited by Hou Dejian to come here to do business.

Hou Dejian is also a bit of a thief. He didn't talk about any personal grudges on the phone, but just used it as a communication.

The Luo Zhen team following Mr. Gu joked: "Mr. Gu, it seems we are not famous enough, no one recognizes us."

Mr. Gu smiled and waved his hand: "As a musician, we would rather just hear the sound."

The male and female duo nodded together, deeply agreeing with Mr. Gu’s words.

After they entered the auditorium, the college students were no longer calm and poured into the auditorium.

If you don’t have a seat, that’s okay, just stand.

So when Huang Zhong and his party arrived at the entrance of the auditorium, they found that they couldn't squeeze in.

"If you can't get in, let's turn back." Xiao Dongzi said with a smile.

"Frozen to death at Yingfeng Station." Lao Cui snorted coldly.

"Traitor!" The little boys headed by Huang Dingding began to despise him.

Xiao Dongzi was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't take it seriously, I'm just kidding. Of course our teacher Huang won't take it for granted... Well, it's just shrinking from the battle."

Xiaodongzi felt that he was a little unclear in explaining, so he quickly shouted to the students in front: "Everyone, please give way. We are invited to participate in the exchange meeting."

The quality of college students today is still relatively high, and someone organized to make way for them.

However, it soon became apparent that something was wrong, and a student also shouted: "These kindergarten children are also invited, who are they trying to fool!"

So the passage that had just been opened closed again, and Xiao Dongzi was so anxious that he stamped his feet outside: "We are really invited here, really really!"

Well, no matter how loud he is, no one will listen to him.

The interior of the auditorium is also very grandly decorated, and there is a line of artistic calligraphy written with a brush on the stage: Cross-Strait Popular Music Exchange Conference.

In this era, there were no electronic displays or the like. Generally, during meetings, the monogram would be in this form and written by hand.

The venue was filled with soothing music. This was not a tape, but a live band playing.

The band present today is composed by the National Conservatory of Music, and its standards are definitely high enough.

The entire venue was almost full, and even the aisles were packed with students. Only in the front right, there were a dozen empty seats.

Hou Dejian and others entered the venue and were welcomed with warm applause. They took their seats on the left side of the first few rows. Then Hou Dejian looked to the right and did not see the guy named Huang Zhong.

Isn’t this guy too timid to come?

Hou Dejian shook his head slightly, feeling a little disappointed and ready to take revenge.

Take a look around you, you can see that there are so many talented people. If that guy named Huang Zhong really comes, I would be surprised if he doesn’t scare him to death.

The organizers of the conference also discovered this situation, but they didn't care at all: it would be better not to come, and it would save shame.

Anyway, basically all the invited guests were present, including famous domestic songwriters, music professors and some well-known singers, such as Teacher Gu Jianfen, Teacher Shi Guangnan, etc., as well as Li Guyi, Li Shuanghe, etc.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Wouldn't it be better if the two sides truly had a friendly exchange?

In addition, many leaders from the cultural circles were present, including Leader Lu.

But he didn't get enough of it today because there were too many big guys coming.

Teacher Jiang was also invited to come. At this moment, he was still very happy: Junior Huang Zhong, I don’t know how high the sky is, I want you to look good this time.

When it comes to music exchanges, China is not bad; but when it comes to pop music, haha, is there any pop music in China now?

Seeing that the time was almost nine o'clock, the conference was about to start, and there was no sign of Huang Zhong. Teacher Jiang estimated that Huang Zhong was a coward and did not dare to attend.

The leaders and representatives from both parties had already taken their seats on the stage, and the band finally stopped playing.

Then I heard an angry roar coming from the direction of the door: "Why don't you tell people to come in?"

Good guy, this voice is like shouting into a loudspeaker, and the front desk can hear it clearly.

What's going on? The leader who presided over the meeting looked unhappy.

A staff member quickly ran to check, and then led a team in with a strange look on his face. There were men, women, and children, a motley crew.

Huang Zhong and the others were blocked at the door for a long time. Finally, Zhang Wei couldn't bear it anymore and started shouting at the top of her voice. Then she called the staff. After some explanations, they were ushered into the venue.

Under the arrangement of the staff, everyone sat down in the front right corner. There were a few seats, so they all held their children in their arms.

"Comrade with children, should you take the children out?" A staff member came over to maintain order.

What if the child yells to pee when the leader is talking?

Huang Dingding stood up from her father's arms. She was not as cumming as before, but her little voice was quite high:

"We are from a small alley choir, and we will be singing soon!"

As soon as she finished speaking solemnly, a little boy next to her also stood up with an embarrassment on her face: "Tell Huang Lingchan, I...I need to pee!"

When Huang Zhong saw it, he was also happy: Isn't this the old one and the younger one? The one who couldn't hold back his urine last time.

So I asked Xiao Lizi to take the kid to the toilet first. As a child, if one wants to go to the toilet, they all end up going.

On the other hand, the other audience members were quite happy to watch it. As for Hou Dejian, he looked even more proud and muttered: "It's just a mob."

It wasn’t until 9:05 that everyone officially started.

The first part was naturally the least nutritious part of the speech. The leading representatives of both sides spoke for almost an hour.

However, the theme is still good, emphasizing the friendly exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, especially at the cultural level.

After finally waiting for the leader to step down, we finally got to the main topic, which is the exchange of pop music.

After all, with so many people present, even if they were fighting in the ring, Huang Zhong and Hou Dejian couldn't just punch each other and kick each other. Everyone had to play in a civilized manner.

First, Hou Dejian took the stage to speak. He sorted out the development history of Baodao pop music, especially emphasizing that after entering the 1980s, pop music entered a golden period of development, with many high-quality songs and excellent singers emerging.

The audience of college students below also listened with great interest.

And some of these professionals in China also listened and recorded, and it was their first time to fully understand the popular music in Baodao.

From this sense alone, this exchange is still necessary and very enlightening for the development of domestic pop music.

When Hou Dejian stood up and bowed, the audience gave him warm applause.

At this moment, Hou Dejian was in high spirits. Next, he sang his masterpiece: Descendants of the Dragon.

This song is widely circulated and embodies a strong national sentiment, so when the orchestra below started playing, it quickly turned into a chorus.

Hou Dejian also became more and more emotional as he grew older: Boy, let’s see what you have to fight with me for!

People who love Huang Zhong are also secretly worried: They are afraid that they will be compared to each other now.

Although there are many patriotic songs in China, they are not popular songs. Huang Zhong can’t sing about the motherland, right?

When the song "Descendants of the Dragon" was finished, Hou Dejian smiled and said into the microphone:
Chapter completed!
