"My fans don't know where they're going..." — Zhou Chuanxiong.
On October 30, a concert in Suzhou pushed the long-lost Zhou Chuanxiong (Xiao Gang) back to people's vision.
No one expected that a "little known" singer, a singer who had not been active on the stage for a long time, and a singer who had faded out of the singing world due to illness could be fully seated at the concert and stage a shocking scene of many times of thousands of choruses.
The scene of Zhou Chuanxiong's concert did not have too many NC fans, nor did he have the so-called fanatical fans, but whenever Zhou Chuanxiong aimed the microphone at the scene, there would always be a neat chorus of 10,000 people, especially when singing classic songs such as "Dusk", "Blue Flower", "Lonely Sandbar Cold" and so on, Zhou Chuanxiong burst into tears under the background sound of the 10,000-person chorus.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhou Chuanxiong is the tear of the times.
Zhou Chuanxiong was also after the company was acquired, forced to transform into a behind-the-scenes production, and at the same time, his body was once thin, and he could only fade out of the song world for recuperation. Therefore, passers-by fans have always been more distressed, although he has not been in the jianghu for a long time, but the jianghu still has his legend.
Talking about his own experience, Zhou Chuanxiong also choked up several times.
At the age of 52, he could not help himself, and tears spilled on the scene of the Suzhou concert.
Zhou Chuanxiong's songs spread throughout the streets and alleys that year, and there were many memories of the post-80s and post-90s, and the name of "the godfather of love songs" did not come out of nowhere.
Zhou Chuanxiong said at the concert: "I remember that in the past, I sold a lot of tapes, a lot of CDs, and when I went to every place to do signing parties, there would be a lot of fans. But in recent years, because of the popularity of online social media, I don't know how to do this thing, and I often feel that my fans don't know where to go..."
When Zhou Chuanxiong's company collapsed, he turned to the background in desperation. But in 2001, when he returned to the mainland to help people make an album, he found that "Dusk" was playing all over the street, which was a song that he had not promoted before.
It is really a model of strength driving popularity.
For this concert, Zhou Chuanxiong also made a lot of efforts. Including frequently appearing on major variety shows and operating online media that they are not familiar with, they are also starting from scratch to find those fans who have "disappeared".
In fact, the fans have not disappeared, but with the passage of time, gradually matured, each has its own life, will not be like many young people crazy star chasing.
But those memories and sounds of that year still exist.
In fact, the post-80s and post-90s are the main force of current consumption, although not as crazy as the post-00s or even post-10s, but they will also be happy and happy to meet their idols. Many agencies can completely regain artists such as Zhou Chuanxiong, whose value is no less than some of the so-called "top streams" of the moment.
At the beginning of this year, In order to increase his exposure, Zhou Chuanxiong appeared on the second season of "The Voice of Heaven", but encountered an embarrassing situation of a round of travel. At that time, the mentor Meng Meiqi was also condemned by many netizens.
Meng Meiqi, as a newcomer in the music industry who has few works, has become a "seated" party in music programs, while Zhou Chuanxiong, the "godfather of love songs", has become a party waiting to be selected on stage, and the result has been eliminated, which somewhat makes people feel uncomfortable, which has triggered the controversy of "unworthiness".
This is also an absurd scene that will appear in the entertainment industry under the condition of traffic first, which is also a cancer problem that the entertainment industry urgently needs to rectify.
Fortunately, at that time, Zhou Chuanxiong, with his own strength, awakened people's memories and directly slaughtered a certain music list, so that the so-called traffic supremacy of people saw the popularity brought by the work.
The biggest feature of Zhou Chuanxiong's songs is empathy and sensationalism, although the rhythm is very slow, but it is also deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Next, Zhou Chuanxiong will also hold concerts in many places, Suzhou has achieved such remarkable results, I think the future concerts will be more popular, let's wait and see.
