Chapter 17 wind and frost accompany me

In October 1980, Teresa Teng set foot on the "Lee Stage" in Hong Kong for the fourth time and held seven solo concerts in a row.After entering Hong Kong for many years, Teresa Teng has already practiced fluent Cantonese, but she has only released Mandarin records in Hong Kong. It was not until December 28, 1980 that Teresa Teng released her first Cantonese personal album "Incompatibility", which includes "Forget "He", "Love in the Snow", "The End of the World", "The Voice of the Prodigal Son", etc., and the title song is "Walk With Me".The record became a "platinum record" as soon as it was released, and became the driving force for her to hold another concert the following year.The song "Wind and Frost with Me" also laid the foundation for Teresa Teng's return to the Hong Kong music scene.

"Wind and Frost Walks with Me" (lyricist - Tang Weixiong, composer - Gu Jiahui): How many regrets and misfortunes have been exchanged for the dreams of a lifetime; Who would like to see a lonely shadow in the mirror, and the helpless past will burn in the heart; I can do it; I hate my heart so much, love and forgiveness are bound by thousands of knots; it is difficult to break and untie, the feelings of the world have to be left behind, once my wish is fulfilled, I stand on the peak and look back secretly; The long road is cold and heartbroken, and the wind and frost accompany me.

At the end of the year, Teresa Teng went to Southeast Asia for a tour and won the "Best Female Singer Award" at the Taiwan Golden Bell Awards. This year, Teresa Teng's solo albums "The First Episode of Teresa Teng's Best Collection", "On the Water Side", "Incompatible Powers" and "Love from Hometown" are all platinum records. With the broadening of experience and horizons, Teresa Teng has a wider range of performing arts.In addition to continuing to try different styles of Chinese and Japanese songs, she also started recording Indonesian records in Indonesia while she was trying to release a Cantonese album for the first time.In addition to charity performances and large-scale concerts, Teresa Teng also tried to shoot TV commercials for YAMAHA motorcycles for the first time in 1981.

After becoming famous in the Chinese circle, Teresa Teng's soft singing also infected other ethnic groups. At the beginning of 1981, Teresa Teng made "Small Town Story" , "The Moon Represents My Heart", "How Do You Say" and other popular Chinese songs have been transcribed into Indonesian.Teresa Teng can't speak Indonesian, but with her Malay foundation, she sang 80 Indonesian songs in Roman pinyin and published her first Indonesian album.Due to the age of this special Indonesian album and the fact that Taipei experienced a major flood a few years ago, even the Teresa Teng Cultural and Educational Foundation did not collect it.

After Teresa Teng released her first Cantonese album "Incompatibility" in Hong Kong to great acclaim, in April 1981, she went to "Elizabeth Stadium" to hold a solo concert.Tickets were already sold out within two days, and Teresa Teng sang nine times in seven days, setting a record for the most concerts at the "Elizabeth Stadium". Teresa Teng's trip to Hong Kong set off a strong "Teresa Teng whirlwind".On the morning when Teresa Teng, the beautiful and charming "Pearl of the Orient", arrived in Hong Kong by plane, the Hong Kong police took early measures to maintain order, but the airport was still crowded with people.Reporters, fans and the police were mixed together, everyone pushed each other to seize the most favorable position.Following the uproar from the crowd, Teresa Teng had already stepped out of the restricted area of ​​the airport under the escort of the guards.At this time, reporters and fans rushed forward, flashing lights were like sparks, and flower presenters shook bouquets suddenly. The scene was in chaos, and some people even shouted "help".In order to avoid accidents, the police immediately surrounded the crowd. Under the protection of layers of human walls and dozens of security personnel, Teresa Teng managed to get out of the crowd.

"Teresa Teng's Whirlwind" immediately followed Teresa Teng to perform in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and other places, blowing across foreign countries.Not only was the performance unprecedented, there was no talk of Teresa Teng in the streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants; Teresa Teng's singing was heard in various recordings and stereos; news of Teresa Teng was published in various newspapers and magazines; Her advertising posters can be seen everywhere; entertainment companies, record companies, and music producers all try their best to cooperate with Teresa Teng.

In 1981, five solo albums recorded by Teresa Teng "If I'm Real", "Love Is Like a Song", "Man on Water", "Unforgettable Eyes", and "Teresa Teng Fujian Famous Songs Album" won "Platinum Records" at the same time , bravely broke the previous "Golden Record" record in Hong Kong.In order to commend Teresa Teng for winning five platinum records in a row and breaking the record of previous gold records, Teresa Teng participated in the "Fifth Hong Kong Golden Record Awards Ceremony" in August.While returning to Hong Kong to receive the Platinum Disc Award, there were several small incidents.When Teresa Teng was about to enter Hong Kong to receive the award, there was another problem with her visa.It may be because Teresa Teng did not return to Hong Kong for a long time. She did not find out that her Hong Kong visa had expired until the airport. She could not enter the country and had to wait at the airport. Three hours later, Hong Kong TVB sponsored her and she was able to enter the country.When talking about the turmoil of entering Hong Kong afterwards, Teresa Teng admitted that the expiry of the Hong Kong visa was her own negligence. Before the Golden Disc Awards Ceremony on August 3, when Teresa Teng was interviewed by a Hong Kong radio host Huang Yunshi, she shed tears because she touched on sensitive issues.During the awards ceremony, the production unit arranged for Teresa Teng to sing "Love from Hometown", and Jackie Chan presented Teresa Teng with an award.For a while, it was rumored that Teresa Teng shed tears on the stage after receiving the award from Jackie Chan.The gold award turmoil made Teresa Teng scandal-ridden again.

In this year, Teresa Teng not only toured around Taiwan and Southeast Asia, but also held "When Will You Come Again" in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in June At the benefit performance party, "Taiwan Television" broadcast a 120-minute special program "King on the Outpost". Recorded the album "A Thousand Words". 1981 to 1987 was the heyday of Teresa Teng's singing career. Japan, Southeast Asia, mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and most of East Asia were filled with Teresa Teng's singing voice. "One billion applause" is the most appropriate description of Teresa Teng's extremely high achievements.

Behind the "billion applause" are countless hardships and trials, as well as a lot of giving up and persistence.No one can deny that Teresa Teng is a singing genius.However, a good voice is only the basis for a successful career.To climb the peak of world singing, it is far from enough to rely on a natural good voice.Moreover, the competition in the overseas music scene is extremely fierce.In order to sing well and adapt to various conditions, Teresa Teng insisted on singing every day, even when she had a cold or a high fever, she never stopped.Teresa Teng's good friend He Lili said that she used to work hard to practice singing because her vocal range was not wide enough, and she once practiced until her throat bleeds.No one can understand the feeling of being on the road more deeply than Teresa Teng.Over the years, she has signed many contracts, and she has to go to the appointments on time and perform the contracts one after another.Therefore, she always came and went in a hurry, from east to west, drifting to and fro, her whereabouts were uncertain.This kind of non-stop running and spinning life is Teresa Teng's career.

On the evening of the second day of the Lunar New Year in 1982, Teresa Teng sang at Dies Corner in Taipei.She sang for an hour, and there was thunderous applause from the audience, as well as endless cheers.Teresa Teng appeared again amidst the warm applause from the audience, and she wanted to sing "When Will You Come Again" for the audience.When the prelude music started, Teresa Teng said eloquently: "I debuted at the age of 14, and more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. The ups and downs I have experienced during this period are really hard to describe..." Her voice was choked up, and her face was full of tears.Taipei Diss Corner is the place where Teresa Teng often sang when she first debuted. Over the years, she has tried hard to hide the trauma of the past in her heart.Now standing at the pinnacle of her career again, Teresa Teng was hurt by the scene.She is the same, on the same stage, but what is different is her personal achievements and status.Back then, she was the little girl who ran around singing, was fired by the boss, and saw all the faces of everyone, but now she has her own orchestra, her own dance group, her own harmony, and she can sing as long as she wants personal show.Teresa Teng couldn't restrain herself, she sang with a smile while crying.

Teresa Teng made persistent efforts and held a large-scale personal concert in Hong Kong from January 8 to 11, 1982. The venue was at the Elizabeth Stadium in Wanchai, and a total of five concerts were held.The first of five concerts is a charity show.As Teresa Teng's solo concert sold well, Hong Kong PolyGram immediately recorded the entire concert and released a double album of "Teresa Teng's Concert", both of which became platinum records after they came out. In October, Teresa Teng collaborated with Lin Zixiang and Alan Tam to film a TVB special in Hong Kong.She who prefers charity performances also participated in the "Happy Man Donghua" charity gala in Hong Kong at the end of the year. In the 1980s, Teresa Teng received Japanese music training, and her singing skills have made breakthroughs. She also started to have her own exclusive band, and her stage performance has reached a higher level.And since Teresa Teng's success in the United States, her bosom friend has filled the Chinese circle and her singing has swept the mainland of China like a legend, her worth is not what it used to be. In the Xingma area, Teresa Teng's original "show" price is at the same level as Feng Feifei, Ouyang Feifei, Zhen Ni, etc., and her daily salary is about 4,000 US dollars. But since her fame shocked the world, the price of "show" has risen steadily, and she quickly jumped to the first place in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea and other countries and regions. The remuneration has already reached more than US$10,000, which is not only far more than that of super singers with the same level of treatment as her, but also such a high price may not be able to attract her."Apollo" and "Shangri-La" in Singapore Two nightclubs once sent special personnel to Taipei to invite Teresa Teng to perform on stage.The two nightclubs competed for high prices, but "Apollo" won. The nightclub was willing to pay US$16,000 per day and US$160,000 for ten days of singing.However, since Teresa Teng would not be able to revisit Singapore until a year later, even with such a high price, it was not immediately decided to go to Singapore to sing at that time. According to media reports at the time, a nightclub in Kuala Lumpur once signed a performance contract with Teresa Teng at a price of US$5,000 per show and a sky-high price of ten round-trip air tickets.Such a price is certainly worth it, because before Teresa Teng's performance, fans snapped up tickets and crowded the nightclub until it was impossible to move, which is unprecedented in Malaysia.Teresa Teng once "made a show" in Japan, and was hired by an agent for 150 days, and the daily remuneration was as high as 30,000 US dollars.Then the agent arranges the specific time to various karaoke bars and nightclubs, and draws a considerable profit from them.The karaoke halls and nightclubs from north to south in Taiwan regard Teresa Teng as the God of Wealth. As long as she agrees to sing, it means that the wind will win the wind and the rain will win the rain. Teresa Teng has entered the most glorious period of her life. At that time, no Asian singer could match her.It is said that in mainland China at that time, almost everyone who liked to listen to popular songs knew Teresa Teng's name and had heard some of her songs.In big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, Teresa Teng's tapes are also extremely popular.The normal market price is 12 yuan a box, while the black market sells for 20 yuan a box.This kind of price is indeed expensive for the prices at that time, but even though it is so expensive, it is still not worrying that no one wants it. Teresa Teng's tapes were so popular at the time that in some places, when men and women were discussing marriage, her tapes were listed as dowry gifts.Businesses selling photos of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers and movie stars also appeared in Beijing, Shanghai and other places. Teresa Teng's jade photos were also among the best-sellers, selling for 1 yuan each at that time.When Hong Kong printed calendars at that time, the first "Calendar Girl" was Teresa Teng.According to a newspaper vendor in North Point, Hong Kong, these calendars are mainly sold to the mainland, so most of them are printed with photos of Teresa Teng, because there is no star in Hong Kong that can compare to her. "A Faint Love" "A Touch of Love" is considered by many to be the best recording of Teresa Teng's singing career. In the early 1980s, Teresa Teng began to plan the release and production of the album "A Light of Love". The lyrics of the songs included in the album "A Light of Love" are all based on the works of ancient Chinese poets.In order to realize her ambition of inheriting Chinese culture, Teresa Teng specially sought out the most avant-garde and authoritative producers in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan at that time to compose music for this album.The passionate composition of eight composers and Teresa Teng's excellent interpretation ability endowed it with new vitality and created a new form of existence for Chinese classical poetry. This is the only conceptual album in the Mandarin pop music scene that focuses on Tang poetry and Song poetry. It skillfully combines Chinese classical literature and modern music and has achieved unprecedented success.After the album was released, it became a platinum record and won the Best Album of the Year Award in 1983. Deng Xiquan, who was in charge of producing this album, also won the Best Producer Award of the Year. The concept of the album "A Light of Love" was proposed by Hong Kong entrepreneur Xie Hongzhong, and it took about two and a half years to complete.Regarding this matter, Xie Hongzhong said: "One night two years ago, I met Teresa Teng at a banquet. I told her the idea that had been brewing for a long time, and her reaction was quite violent. …At that time, our viewpoints were very close, that is, how to express the classical poetry that has been passed down in our country for thousands of years with modern music, how to resonate with the audience, and how to preserve the gradually forgotten Chinese culture…” The design of the album "A Touch of Quiet Love" fully reappears the elegant tradition of ancient poetry dictionaries in modern society, and reproduces the style of Tang and Song Dynasties that has never been seen since then. The first edition of CD produced by Hong Kong Polygram Records in 1983. This disc comes with a beautifully printed lyrics. Paintings or photos of artistic conception, poetry, calligraphy and painting are integrated.The poems and paintings were created by the famous artist Shan Boqin, and a series of photos on the theme of Teresa Teng were taken by the famous Hong Kong photographer Lin Wei.In order to express the poetic and painting-like classical artistic conception, the location team once went to Singapore to take pictures. Three of the 12 photos are of Teresa Teng wearing a cheongsam. Against the background of bright green, pink orange, and maroon clothes, Teresa Teng gives people a sense of tranquility and beauty above sentimentality.This album is not only a big hit, but also the perfect combination of Teresa Teng's elegant temperament and her cheongsam dress creates an image of a classical Chinese beauty and talented woman like an orchid in an empty valley, which takes Teresa Teng's artistic achievements to a higher level. Teresa Teng at that time, as Deng Xiquan said: "Teresa Teng is really beautiful and radiant. This period may be the most fulfilling period of her life. And when making the record, there were rumors of her scandal with a wealthy Singaporean businessman... ..." Among the eight composers of the album "A Light of Love", the ratio of Taiwan and Hong Kong is six to two, and there are more composers in Taiwan.Talking about the reason, Deng Xiquan said: "Composers in Taiwan at that time were more accustomed to the creation of Mandarin songs, so I think it should be easier for them to understand this kind of ancient words." A kind of indifferent and profound artistic conception is fully expressed.Among these composers is Liu Jiachang, the great director who wrote many songs for Teresa Teng in the past. His compositions are "Going Up to the West Building Alone" ([Southern Tang] Li Yu's "Wu Ye Cry"), "Rouge Tears" ([ Southern Tang Dynasty] Li Yu's "Meeting and Joy" lyrics) and "A Thousand Leaves" ([Song] Ouyang Xiu's "Jade House Spring" lyrics); there is also Gu Yue, whose composition is "Qing Ye Youyou" ([Song] Qin Guan " Taoyuan Recalling the Old Man) and "Looking at Tears" ([Song] Liu Yong's "Yulin Bell"); and Huang Zhan's "Who Knows My Love at This Time" ([Song] Nie Shengqiong's "Partridge Sky" ).In addition, Zhong Zhaofeng's "Fang Grass is Heartless" ([Song] Fan Zhongyan's "Su Muzhe") and "Want to Talk" ([Song] Xin Qiji's "Ugly Slave" lyrics), Weng Qingxi's "After the Dusk" ( [Song] Ouyang Xiu's "Sheng Chazi" lyrics), Chen Yang's "Thinking of the King" ([Song] Li Zhiyi's lyrics), Tan Jianchang's "How Much Sorrow - Yumeiren" ([Southern Tang] Li Yu's "Yumeiren" lyrics) .In addition to these veteran composers, there was Liang Hongzhi, a folk song writer who was only 19 years old at the time. Liang Hongzhi, who is currently Taiwan's representative best-selling golden song author, was just a new music singer-songwriter more than 20 years ago.It was Teresa Teng and the production staff of the Hong Kong record company who decided to use him.Teresa Teng had already sung "Just Like Your Tenderness" written by Liang Hongzhi in high school in her album, so Teresa Teng took the initiative to invite Liang Hongzhi to sing.At that time, Liang Hongzhi was still a young man with a student spirit. He said: "Deng Xiquan suddenly called me and asked me to write a song. He only asked me to compose the song according to my own feelings. That's all he asked. When I was young, my father led I have entered the world of classical literature, so I am not at a loss when I get Su Shi's words. I feel more familiar with words and sentences that are familiar to me." In order to express the elegant beauty of Su Shi's lyrics, Liang Hongzhi deliberately avoided the melody of singing songs, and worked on composing music according to Teresa Teng's sound quality. "Because it is different from modern lyrics, how to match paragraphs and how to show the beauty of words and sentences in a modern way are the two things that bother me the most." The playing with the strings perfectly set off Teresa Teng's contented voice, and vividly expressed the beautiful moonlight, the long distance of time and the brilliance of a moment in life. Teresa Teng who loves this song very much hopes to cooperate with Liang Hongzhi again.When Teresa Teng participated in the NHK Red and White Song Competition in 1985, she also invited Liang Hongzhi to go, invited him to watch Japanese music programs, and asked him for advice.Liang Hongzhi said when recalling the days when they got along: "She is also very humble to me who is younger. I told her that her voice is very beautiful, and she is really suitable for singing folk songs, but she should still use it in many ways, try newer rhythms and Style. For example, when I proposed to write her a new song in the rhythm of Reggae (Reggae, a dance and dance music in the West Indies), she was very happy and declared that it was a good proposal and she must try it another day. In 1987 or 1988, again I handed over the music of ancient poems to the record company, but for some reason there has been no follow-up... We have not contacted her since she settled in Paris, but the staff told me that she sang "May I Live Long" in concerts or various activities I will always be mentioned in this song, so I think she probably has not forgotten our agreement. I believe that when her physical condition, enthusiasm for the song and other conditions are fully prepared, she will definitely come back again. Until today, that agreement has not been fulfilled It's still one of my biggest regrets." "A Faint Love" When Deng Xiquan talked about this point, he also said: "I regret it. I should have tried more in the beginning. We may have shaped Teresa Teng's image too fixedly. Because of her sweet singing voice, she is always asked to sing love songs. In fact, she herself really wants to try another kind of challenge..." "A Light of Love" is another way of singing that Teresa Teng tried hard, a way different from artistic songs, in which she entrusted her new understanding and expectations for art.The special feature of this album is that Teresa Teng interprets the new pulse of Chinese classical literature in a unique and avant-garde way, so that Chinese people and even Chinese people around the world can feel the tender feelings of the ancient Chinese nation, and let the world understand how to reproduce the tradition. The essence of art does not have to be limited to the rules and regulations of art songs; at the same time, this production style with concepts running through the whole, this bold attempt to deliberately forget fashion and put business second, this combination of ancient and modern, and focus on establishing classics The approach of the new music style shows that this album is an experimental work and an avant-garde work.In entertainment and business, Teresa Teng completely succeeded in shaping this record into a milestone in Taiwanese pop music.Teresa Teng's expectations and high hopes for this tense work, as well as her vigorous creativity are also fully expressed. Teresa Teng was able to experimentally create "A Light of Quiet Love", a work that combines tradition and pop, also because she has worked hard in the popular music scene for many years and is well versed in the transliteration and transformation methods of Chinese lyrics and music.Teresa Teng personally grew up in the era when traditional Chinese songs, folk songs, and minor tunes were popular, so she has cultivated a fairly complete traditional singing and interpretation method since she was a child. Therefore, she can skillfully control traditional music, and at the same time easily navigate the gap between tradition and modernity. between. But what is joyful and sad is that after this dream album, including Teresa Teng, no one in the Mandarin music scene has the ability and height to create this kind of work that combines tradition and pop.In addition, although the songs in this album are well-recognized, due to the need for extremely high singing skills, there are very few subsequent singers who are able to cover this concept album.After Teresa Teng, because there is no other singer with her growth background, she gradually established her own pop music style orientation on the premise of traditional music style background, and then matured singing skills, strong singing ability and certain Highly combine the two perfectly.Therefore, the fashion trend created by Teresa Teng has become a unique existence.It's just that the beautiful woman in the empty valley echoes beautifully as before. After all, Teresa Teng has left too many traces, traces of memory and nostalgia for this era. After this album, Teresa Teng put her main energy on concerts and performances of Japanese popular songs, and the singing practice of new creations combined with traditional Chinese elements was also cancelled. Coupled with the rapid changes of the times, American music styles The form of consumption and consumption has dominated the pop music scene with faster speed and momentum, and "A Touch of Love" has become an absolute hit.Later, Teresa Teng also planned to further produce the sequel of "A Light of Love". She spent five years challenging the ancient poems and songs she created, but due to the social changes in mainland China and Taiwan, the drastic changes in the music environment, the changes in her personal mood, Due to her deteriorating physical condition and physical and mental exhaustion, she failed to realize her wish in the end.This unfinished sequel has also become an eternal regret in the hearts of musician Liang Hongzhi and fans. The album "Lightly and Serene Love" begins with "Going Up to the West Building Alone", and Teresa Teng sang the elegant atmosphere throughout the entire album at the beginning: Going up to the west building alone without words, the moon is like a hook; the lonely sycamore tree is locked in the deep courtyard in autumn; Teresa Teng sang this realistic and high-pitched work at the speed of the andante. Under the condition of free switching between the true tone and the false tone, she fully interpreted the lonely atmosphere of the song, which not only took into account the art songs Skill, without losing the popular atmosphere.This unique singing technique runs through the entire record, creating a special atmosphere in the style of Teresa Teng, and it is shown in the subsequent song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou". When Teresa Teng sang "When is the bright moon, ask the sky for wine" with a slightly brisk rhythm, the song presented a peaceful scene. Teresa Teng's light singing style created a quite casual atmosphere in the first half of the song.But as soon as the singing of "Why is it in the world" fell, Teresa Teng appeared on the stage with an allegro that stood out for her loneliness and strength: Turn to Zhuge, low Qi household, according to sleepless. There shouldn't be any hatred, what's the matter of long-term goodbye? Teresa Teng is tactful in her high and low singing voice, fully expressing the moment and impermanence of heaven and earth with her voice.At the same time, it ends with a high-pitched tune, showing helplessness towards the impermanence of everything in the world.At the end, Teresa Teng sang again in the Andante: People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has cloudy and sunny waxing and waning. This matter is difficult to complete in ancient times, but I hope that people will live a long time and share the joys and joys of thousands of miles. This kind of steady rhythm and soothing tune expresses the feeling of being eternal, optimistic and open-minded.Compared with the amorous and unrestrained poet Su Shi, Teresa Teng's interpretation has a touch of grace and weakness, transforming a nostalgic nostalgia for the past and the world into longing and nostalgia for her lover and love, which is obviously the singer Teresa Teng's personal mood refraction. "A Faint Love" Teresa Teng has performed so many songs that give people pleasure and reverie in her life, and they are all for others to listen to.Only the songs in "A Light of Love" were sung by Teresa Teng for herself.During the creation of "A Light of Love", it was the time when Teresa Teng's life-and-death love was lost. She met someone who could trust her for life, and her feelings had a destination.However, at the same time as releasing the album, the lovebird flew away from her.Since a long time ago, she has devoted herself to her singing career, and after that, she has devoted all her emotions to her work.Her unforgettable love is poured into this work, and her personal experience is also reflected in this record.Teresa Teng, by singing highly connotative lyrics, indirectly expressed the tragedy that individuals can only accept and experience helplessly in the face of a dark destiny.Therefore, "A Light of Love" reflects Teresa Teng's loneliness, shortcomings, and a kind of helplessness enclosed in Chinese feelings. It reflects Teresa Teng's imperfect life of always being bumpy and wandering, but looking forward to a perfect love. The real lonely and sad Teresa Teng is reflected in "A Light of Love". It has been more than 20 years since "A Light of Love" was published, and the rolling red dust of the years has not concealed its beautiful brilliance, but with the passage of time, it has become more and more extraordinary charm. Teresa Teng is the most memorable Chinese singer in the 20th century, and also the most successful and influential Chinese singer internationally recognized.In her singing career of more than 20 years, she has published more than 100 albums and sung thousands of songs; her glorious years in the 1980s were the golden age of Chinese pop music. "Silent Love" is a classic work of her personal acting career at its peak, and it is also the first record she personally participated in planning.Different from other albums, Teresa Teng sang the literary masterpieces in this disc with modern pop music with her innate faint feelings. It is elegant, solemn, gentle and sentimental, quite Tang and Song style.This is an album with the most Deng's characteristics, which fully demonstrates Teresa Teng's peerless talent and unrivaled talent in singing love songs. Except for the more neutral song "I Wish You Long", which can be sung by singers, there are so far No decent cover version has been found yet.Over the years, this record has been used by audiophiles as a test disc for perfect vocals.From the perspective of sound effects, the whole disc is dominated by human voices, the volume of the soundtrack is low, and the position of the band is also obviously behind. The height, posture and mouth shape of the singer seem to be vivid; the human voice is as pure as crystal, and the timbre is warm and clear; Xu's rhythmic clapper voice has a clear echo, and the surrounding air seems to be flowing.And this record has gone through thousands of years from writing lyrics to composing and singing, and it embodies the outstanding talents of more than a dozen generations of literary and artistic talents. There are currently eight versions of the album "A Touch of Love": Hong Kong Polygram has released four versions: vinyl (LP, tape) version, ordinary CD, 88 best and XRCD version.In contrast, the vinyl and regular editions are the first choice, because they provide more information, especially the set of black and white photos featuring Teresa Teng herself and the entire planning process of the album handwritten by the first planner Xie Hongzhong , so as to have more collection value.Next, there are vinyl editions (LP) published by Taiwan and Polygram in Germany.This is probably the main reason why Teresa Teng's records were able to enter Taiwan's top 100 records (because since Teresa Teng left Taiwan in the early 1970s, her albums have been produced by records outside Taiwan).The third is the two versions published by Taurus in Japan: the normal version CD was published in July 1995, which is basically the same as the first CD version of Polygram in Hong Kong, but there are important differences: the biggest difference is the lyrics in the lyrics book. The photo is in color, and there is a color picture of Teresa Teng printed on the butterfly surface!The lyrics, translation and commentary part use Chinese and Japanese comparisons. In addition to adding Japanese critics' music comments, the somewhat vague handwritten lowercase characters in Xie Hong's first edition of Baoji have also been changed into printed Japanese. In 2001, the company published the XRCD version, which sold for more than RMB 400. In addition, after the release of the album, it also gave birth to the TV version of "A Touch of Love" - ​​"A Touch of Love" TV special, and there are two versions in Hong Kong and Taiwan!In the Hong Kong version, Teresa Teng appeared in a blue ancient costume, climbing mountains and facing the water, brushing ink, like a beautiful woman in heaven; the Taiwan version is a host and actor, wearing modern fashion to explain, and then wearing a red ancient dress Sing and act.This special series is hailed by Deng fans as the "post" of Teresa Teng's video ("King of Video" is the NHK concert in Japan in 1985), but unfortunately no original version has been released! In August 2002, the Teresa Teng Cultural and Education Foundation released the song "Ask What Love Is in the World", which has never been published by Teresa Teng. "Ask what is love in the world" is a song included in "Spring Dreams and Autumn Clouds", re-arranged by musician Xiaochong.One of Teresa Teng's albums, "A Touch of Love", once planned the second episode, which was called "Spring Dreams and Autumn Clouds". So the album was never released.In order for the fans to listen to the song and think about others, the foundation also specially re-edited the MTV screen shot by Teresa Teng for "A Touch of Love" during the New Year in 1983 into a new "What is Love in the World" MTV. In 1983, Teresa Teng once again became the focus of the world, and her career has reached its peak. In January 1983, Teresa Teng held a birthday party at Regal Hotel in Hong Kong to celebrate her 30th birthday with fans.This year is Teresa Teng's 15th year in the showbiz. In February 1983, Teresa Teng was invited to sing at the Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas, the largest casino in the United States, becoming the first Chinese singer to sign a contract to sing here. A huge color photo of Teresa Teng has long been hung at the gate of the famous Caesars Palace, among the photos of Frank Sinatra and Tom Jones.Her confident smile, expressive black eyes, and slightly raised corners of her mouth show the ancient and mysterious beauty of the East.This performance is very different from the previous tour, because the city of Las Vegas is not New York, it is a paradise of adventure and entertainment, gathering tourists from all over the world. Therefore, Teresa Teng is facing audiences from all over the world this time. These foreigners don't know Chinese at all, and they don't even know English.This has also become a critical moment to show the true strength of the singer. The 19th and 20th are Teresa Teng's concerts, and there are only two performances, but the tickets are sold out by the end of January.Caesars Palace originally had only 1,100 seats, but later tried every means to increase the number to 1,500. Even the aisles on both sides and the stairs in the middle sold standing tickets.Yet many listeners were kept out.In order to see Teresa Teng's demeanor with my own eyes and listen to her songs live, some of these people live in the United States, and some came here specially from Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore.The guards at Caesars Palace had never seen anything like it, and they were in a mess.On the day of the performance, some people simply bribed the hostesses, handed over one hundred dollar bills and one hundred fifty dollar bills, and forced their way in.Seeing this situation, the guard of Caesars Palace said: "This kind of phenomenon has never happened here, it is simply unbelievable!" The performance was only at eight o'clock, and the audience was full at half past six. For this performance, Teresa Teng specially brought a 17-member band, 2 vocalists, 4 accompaniment singers, lighting, stage art design, etc., a total of more than 30 people. The lights flickered, Teresa Teng appeared in the center of the stage in a pink cheongsam, and a crazy heat wave erupted in the theater immediately. When is the spring, flowers and autumn moon, how much do you know about the past, the small building was windy last night, the homeland can't bear to look back in the moonlight; the carved railings and jade bricks should still be there, but the red face has changed, I ask you how much you can worry, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward flow. The audience was mesmerized by the song "How Much Sorrow - Poppy".The United States is an open country with diverse acceptance and appreciation of art.Those who are accustomed to country music and jazz dance heard Teresa Teng's singing, as if listening to the voice of another world, so tender, fresh and leisurely, smart and playful.She sang along with the feelings expressed by the music and lyrics, which is so natural and real. Her personality has been integrated into her singing, and the people present are completely intoxicated by Teresa Teng's demeanor and singing.In the curling Tingting and lingering sounds, they have never had the enjoyment they had before. The endless cheers pushed Teresa Teng's performance to a climax frequently.The people at the scene were excited, but the hundreds of people outside the arena still squeezed in. They were willing to buy a standing ticket that could enter at a price dozens of times higher than the ticket price.As a result, the gatekeepers and ticket sellers unexpectedly made a small fortune.When the concert was coming to an end, there was already a wall of hundreds of people standing and listening to the music behind the magnificent hall of Caesars Palace. Those working in the backstage kept praising Teresa Teng for her sweet and kind singing during the performance.For the 90-minute concert, they stood and enjoyed it all the time.These people who have seen the big world, their critical eyes only have admiration and surprise for Teresa Teng.当有人问他们：“你们总是这样致函仔后台，欣赏台上艺人的表演吗？”他们说：“从来没有这样从开始看到结束，我们实在对这位中国女孩，充满好奇和兴趣，实在喜欢她的歌。虽然我们不懂中文，但听她唱歌，实在让人舒服。” 赌城演唱会的高潮是那首百唱不厌的《何日君再来》。轻柔的音乐，轻柔的歌声，坐中的华人已经不约而同地和着她大声唱了起来。那种难舍、那份痴迷，全都在“何日君再来”的歌声里了。一曲终了，该是谢幕的时候了，邓丽君先后三次向观众道别，但观众的狂热情绪久久无法平静下来，他们拼命地向邓丽君鼓掌，“再来一个”的呼声不断。谢到最后，她自己已是泪眼朦胧。 演出一结束，据说，首先拥过来的就是凯撒皇宫的工作人员。第一个是警卫，他拥抱着邓丽君，连说：“好极了！好极了！”而仅这两场演出，凯撒皇宫的工作人员得的小费，就比他们四星期工作的工资还多。凯撒皇宫的经理也一再要求邓丽君要挤时间再到凯撒皇宫来。 第二天，美国《内华达州报》上报道：“谁也没有想到一位年纪轻轻的中国女孩，她在世界上有名的拉斯维加斯竟然能够掀起一股以她为中心的旋风！可是这件事却真正地在赌城里发生了，昨天夜里是凯撒宫有史以来没有过的一场演出，那么多听不懂中国话的美国人、英国人、法国人、德国人和一些来自非洲大陆的旅行者，他们来到凯撒宫的门前请求入场。可是门票早已经在1月中旬就卖完了，一千余张坐席上早已坐满了当地的邓丽君崇拜者，后来的人又怎么可以进入凯撒宫听这位中国小姐的演唱呢？凯撒宫的守门人增加了一倍，售票员忍不住惊呼：邓丽君是谁呀？她怎么有如此神力把那些来此玩赌的人们，从赌场里拉到这儿来呢？有些人为了得到入场券，不得不在凯撒宫的门前出高价去买退票。也有人情愿得到一张站票，不惜向售票人和守门人塞昂贵的小费，使得一些凯撒宫的工作人员大饱私囊，据一位不肯透露姓名的非洲人说，守门人昨夜发了横财。而该宫的一位工作人员竟然以无法掩饰的喜悦口气对记者说：'真希望这位中国小姐今后多来几次凯撒宫！'从他的口气里不难听出普通凯撒宫工作人员因邓丽君的演出给他们意外收获的一种喜悦！” 年从台湾的小歌厅到香港的大舞台，从日本的养乐多到美国的凯撒宫，邓丽君已经成为真正的巨星。 她能够流利地使用国语、粤语、日语、英语、法语唱歌，而且能用这些语言到位地阐释每首歌的意境，这使邓丽君成为一个世界性的歌星。从70年代到80年代，邓丽君的录音带和CD的销售量都是非常大的，在亚洲各国的销售量达到百万张的唱片至少超过三十张。往往邓丽君的一张录音带或CD刚发行，几天之内台湾、香港、新加坡、马来西亚、日本等地就能卖到一百五十万张。从1976年到1984年这八年间，邓丽君发行的唱片，张张都是发烧强片。“第一位以中文歌曲连系全世界华人社会的歌星”，这是对邓丽君的极高赞赏。然而，她早已超越这一评价，成为了有影响力的国际巨星。 3月，邓丽君连续第二年受邀主持金钟奖颁奖典礼，成为报纸娱乐版热门话题，这次的搭档是在台湾素有“急智歌王”之称的张帝。台湾“金钟奖”的评选对象涵盖电视戏剧、综艺节目和流行音乐唱片，是台湾演艺界的年度盛事，与电影界的“金马奖”并列为台湾演艺界的两大奖项。正因为“金钟奖”和“金马奖”地位这么崇高，获选为颁奖典礼主持人，不仅是荣耀，更代表在演艺圈的成就与辈分。而且能够二度、三度执主持棒的艺人很少，只有台湾综艺界的“大姐大”张小燕曾经有此殊荣。 与此同时，邓丽君推出了粤语大碟《漫步人生路》，这是她在港台推出的第109张专辑（不包括日本）。香港宝丽金统计邓丽君八年来唱片总销量达五百万张，创华语歌坛纪录。 《漫步人生路》(作词-郑国江、作曲-中岛美雪在你身边路虽远未疲倦，伴你漫行一段接一段；越过高峰另一峰却又见，目标推远让理想永运在前面；路纵崎岖亦不帕受磨练，愿一生中苦痛快乐也体验；愉快悲哀在身边转又转，风中赏雪雾里赏花快乐回旋；毋庸计较，快欣赏身边美丽每一天；还愿确信美景良辰在脚边，愿将欢笑声盖掩苦痛那一面；悲也好喜也好，每天找到新发现；让疾风吹呀吹，尽管给我俩考验；小雨点放心洒，早就决心向着前。 为纪念出道十五周年，邓丽君举行了大型巡回纪念演唱会。1983年底邓丽君以香港为起点举办15周年巡回演唱会，第二年又一路唱到东南亚。“15周年纪念巡回演唱会”是邓丽君演唱史上最重要的演出纪录，更是邓丽君歌唱事业巅峰期的里程碑。 “15周年巡回演唱会”的第一站在香港红勘体育馆举行，为期六天的门票早已销售一空。邓丽君的这次演唱会创四项新纪录，总计观众达十万人。 12月29日是演唱会首演当天。香港红勘体育馆是香港最大的舞台，可容纳一万三千人。它的舞台在中央，设有三百六十度的观众席，分为前坐席、大堂、二楼席和三楼席，而观众席最后方特设的座位竟然高达25米。巨型会场已被挤得水泄不通，从开演前就热闹非凡。灯光还未亮起的时候，观众席上就一片欢声笑语。大家都以兴奋的心情，翘首以盼他们心目中“永远的情人”邓丽君的出场。 演唱会延后一小时才开始。舞台上的灯光由暗淡转为璀璨。邓丽君一出场，观众就爆发出一阵热情的欢呼。白色丝绸晚礼服、金光闪闪的旗袍……秀服一件接一件，伴随着舞群演唱的邓丽君，充满自信的光芒。 接着，邓丽君换上了镶满珍珠的迷你洋装，除了麦可·杰克“Fire”、“Flash Dance”之外，她还表演了多首音乐剧的戏码。 邓丽君再度回到中文歌曲，并在间奏时以广东话、潮州话、台语、福州话分别向来自香港、新加坡、台湾、泰国、加拿大以及澳洲等世界各地的华人歌迷问候。“还有来自大陆的各位来宾！”当她以国语在会场打招呼时，无数观众报以热烈的掌声。现场一万多观众中居然有三千名是专程从大陆来的，他们利用年终的春节假期，到香港来一圆近距离接触邓丽君的梦想。 在不绝于耳的掌声中，乐队开始演奏前奏，《独上西楼》一曲的旋律流入会场。邓丽君优雅的唱腔，诠释着这首寂寥的作品，跨越千年时空的古诗词世界栩栩如生地展现在观众面前，引起来自不同地方的人们的强烈共鸣。 让人特别耳目一新的是，邓丽君还以节奏强劲、载歌载舞的流行曲代替以往的民歌小调，为观众倾情奉献她个人的新风格。每唱完一首，台下都是掌声雷动。 后来，邓丽君接受观众的点唱，她清唱起来。刚才雷鸣般的掌声，令人难以置信地完全消失了，场内一片寂静。静默中，响起了邓丽君那水晶般清亮的声音。 压轴的曲子仍然是那首《何日君再来》，全场观众都激动地站了起来，掌声像起伏的波浪在体育馆内流动。由于欢呼声实在太大，使得邓丽君的歌声几乎难以听到，耳边只剩下乐队演奏的声音。唱毕，邓丽君一次又一次地重复着“谢谢”，然后消失于舞台。 1984年1月邓丽君到新加坡和吉隆坡举行“15周年纪念巡回演唱会”。从当时物价来看，尽管新币元至80元的票价不便宜，但歌迷们还是争相购票，甚至有歌迷每场必到，观众反应异常热烈。走红亚洲的邓丽君在80年代多次到东南亚各国巡回演出，最令东南亚华侨印象深刻的莫过于这次演唱会。 邓丽君的“15周年纪念巡回演唱会”获得了空前的成功，由宝丽金发行的“邓丽君15周年纪念演唱会”专辑（白金唱片）一时成为众人争购的对象，时至今日仍不断有人选购。不久她就又在日本稳坐巨星宝座，在商业性歌唱世界和流行歌坛，她已经登峰造极。 1984年3月，邓丽君获得了台湾“十大杰出女青年”的殊荣，为历届十大杰出女青年中难得一见的艺人。另外，她还获选台湾十大金嗓奖。同时她的15周年演唱会也首度对大陆直播。
