At the summit of Teresa Teng.

At the age of 30, Teresa Teng's career reached its peak.

"15th Anniversary Concert Tour" became the most important performance record in Teresa Teng's singing history.

1983 During the Lunar New Year, Teresa Teng was invited to sing at Caesars Palace Hotel, the largest casino in Las Vegas, USA, becoming the first China singer to sing in this hotel. This performance, scheduled for February 19/20, was sold out at the end of June. Caesar Palace originally had only 1 100 seats, but later it was increased to 1500 seats. The walkways on both sides and the stairs in the middle were crowded with spectators. Teresa Teng, who has a sense of carrying forward China's cultural mission, specially arranged 12 works composed of Tang poetry and Song poetry, such as Fan Zhongyan's Su Mu's Blue Sky, Su Dongpo's When Will the Moon Be Bright, and Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, to let westerners appreciate the beauty of China people.

1In March, 983, Teresa Teng was invited to host the Golden Bell Award ceremony for the second year in a row, which became a hot topic in the entertainment section of the newspaper. This time, his partner is Johnny, who is known as the "King of Fast Wisdom Songs" in Taiwan Province Province. Before the Golden Melody Award was held in Taiwan Province Province, the Golden Bell Award, covering TV series, variety shows and pop music records, was an annual event in the entertainment circle of Taiwan Province Province, and it was tied with the Golden Horse Award in the film industry as two major awards in the entertainment circle of Taiwan Province Province. Because of the lofty status of Admiralty and Golden Horse, being elected as the host of the ceremony is not only an honor, but also represents the achievements and generations in the entertainment circle. Few artists can hold the host bar for the second and third time, and only the "big sister" Xiaoyan in Taiwan Province province has won this honor.

Thirty years old means a lot to Teresa Teng. Her career spread its wings again in this year, and it was also 15 years when she officially entered the entertainment circle. At the end of 1983, Teresa Teng held a concert tour of 15 anniversary in Hongkan Gymnasium, starting from Hong Kong and singing all the way to Southeast Asia the following year. "15th anniversary concert tour" is the most important performance record in Teresa Teng's singing history.

Teresa Teng, who became popular in Asia, toured Southeast Asian countries many times in the 1980s, but what impressed overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia most was the "15th Anniversary Concert" which toured Singapore and Geelong in June, 1984. Judging from the price at that time, although the ticket price from 35 yuan to 80 yuan was not cheap, fans scrimped and saved just to buy a ticket, and even fans came to every performance, and the audience responded enthusiastically. Later, the album "Teresa Teng15th Anniversary Concert" released by Polaroid is still being bought by people.

1In March, 984, Teresa Teng won the honor of "Top Ten Outstanding Young Women" in the province, and she was a rare artist among the top ten outstanding young women in previous years.

On the other hand, this song spread all over Teresa Teng, China. After many invitations from Chinese mainland, it finally came to New Zealand at 1985 1.

Jiapo accepted a telephone interview with Beijing Youth Daily, which was her first public contact with the mainland media.

He made a comeback in Japan, stressing that he was from China and never denied that he was from Taiwan Province Province.

1984, Teresa Teng released a new album "Repay", which not only immediately entered the "Japanese Cable Broadcasting Pop List", but also stayed on the list for one year. The "Japan Cable Broadcasting Award" is that listeners call cable radio stations all over the country to order songs, and the statistics are made by special personnel, and the top ten most popular charts are listed every week. In 65438+February of that year, Teresa Teng became the second China female singer to win the annual "Cable Broadcasting Award" of Japanese TBS TV station after Au Yeung Fei, and at the same time won the "Most Popular Song Award of the Year" with "Repayment", which set a record of1.5000 copies.

This year, Teresa Teng went to England to learn to breathe and sing with a vocal music teacher. Teresa Teng works very hard. He Lili, a good friend, said that she once called Teresa Teng and heard her hoarse voice. After asking, she realized that she liked Saburo very much. She practiced for six or seven hours a day and her voice was bleeding. The English teacher warned Teresa Teng that if he followed his previous singing style, his singing life would be shortened. Teresa Teng followed the advice and turned into a lazy and casual singer, omitting the overuse of techniques and changing his style. So Teresa Teng's song interpretation entered a new stage.

1985, Teresa Teng released the single Love again. "Lover" can be interpreted in many ways in Chinese. In Taiwan Province Province, lovers are people in love. It can be used for boyfriends or girlfriends. In Chinese mainland, a lover refers to a wife or husband. But in Japanese, the lover refers to the "mistress" who can't see the light.

Usually, when Teresa Teng sings Japanese songs, she just writes down the pronunciation first, so she can't grasp the subtle feelings in the lyrics immediately. But at this time, she is 32 years old, very experienced in love, and very familiar with the so-called "lover" feeling of the Japanese. Moreover, the first half of the song has the flavor of art songs, and the second half turns into the melody of pop songs, but the connection between the front and the back is persistent. So after the release of this single, although Teresa Teng, which has a tight schedule, has flown to other countries and can't play the song immediately, the record has an amazing momentum. As soon as it was released, it sold better than the previous year's "Repaying the Loan" and won the title of 15 weeks in the local "cable broadcasting list".

Teresa Teng, who has rarely made a film, also accepted the invitation of Japanese TBS TV station and made a TV series "Seeing Children", in which she was asked to sing the popular "Love".

"Red and White Songs" is an annual singing competition program sponsored by NHK TV in Japan, which has a very high position in the Japanese music scene. Before 1986, the highest audience rating of this program reached 8 1.4%, the lowest was 69.7%, and the average audience rating was about 7 1%. Every time other private TV stations in Japan go to the "Red and White Contest", they will do their best, but as long as they can grab 6% to 7% ratings, they will succeed. The "red and white competition" is divided into boys' teams and girls' teams. Although it is essentially a competition, it is a group score, regardless of individual achievements. The whole program emphasizes the lively atmosphere, and the invited objects are the most popular singers of the year.

Teresa Teng has been developing in Japan for many years. Although he has won many honors, he has never entered the "red-and-white duel". As Love has been at the top of the charts for 15 weeks in a row, and its annual sales volume has also exceeded 1.5 million, the media has been speculating that Teresa Teng is likely to be invited by Red and White. Indeed,1February 2, 985, 1985, Teresa Teng received a notice from the record company and was selected as one of the 20 invited singers that year. Teresa Teng is the fifth foreign artist invited in the history of the "Red and White Contest" and the fourth China singer to enter the "Red and White Contest". Prior to this, Au Yeung Fei, Weng Qianyu and Chen Meiling were invited.

On the same day, she excitedly called home to report the good news and told reporters happily, "I can get married safely this time." Deng Changxi said that the "Red and White Contest" has high ratings and strict selection qualifications. Although Teresa Teng has never participated in the "Red and White Competition", she did not regard it as a necessary goal. According to the results at that time, Deng Changxi thought that being selected for the "Red and White Competition" was just icing on the cake, but the "Singer Award" won by 1974 was a great encouragement for Teresa Teng, because it proved that she could succeed in the exclusive Japanese music scene.

1985 65438+February 3 1, the 36th "Red and White Song Festival", Teresa Teng was arranged to appear as the third place. In anticipation, Teresa Teng appeared with the stars in a white cheongsam. When singing the song "Love", she changed into a peach-red strapless dress, put on a tulle shawl, combed her hair back, left a long braid and inserted a headdress. At the end of the song, she also said "thank you" to the audience in Chinese.

This high-profile performance was originally intended to be broadcast on sound of spring, a special Spring Festival program of Taiwan TV Station through my younger brother Deng Changxi. However, Japanese programs had not been banned in Taiwan Province Province at that time, and the Radio and Television Department of Information Bureau immediately moved out of the Radio and Television Ordinance and policies and asked Taiwan TV Station to introduce the performance unless the clips of Teresa Teng singing Japanese songs were silenced.

1986, following Repayment and Love, Teresa Teng won the Japanese Cable Broadcasting Award for the third year in a row with the song Time Passes (that is, I only care about you in Chinese lyrics), creating a record of "three consecutive tyrants" and also won 10 yen for the Japanese Yomiuri Shimbun. At the end of the same year, Teresa Teng was invited to participate in the 37th "Red and White Competition" for the second time. The sales volume of Time Passing exceeded 2 million copies. Teresa Teng, which is popular in the streets of Japan, was predicted by Japanese fortune tellers at this time that Teresa Teng may still have very popular songs next year, but there are also rumors that it will quit the music scene.

In fact, when Teresa Teng's career reached its peak, he began to have a new view on career map. Teresa Teng was moved to give a concert in the Mainland because she saw many mainland audiences coming to Hong Kong to watch her concert at the previous 15 anniversary concert tour. After 1987, although she continued to shuttle between Taiwan Province Province, Japan, Hongkong, the United States, Canada and France, she tried to reduce her commercial performances and presented a semi-retirement status. Most media reports described her as "mysterious whereabouts".

Until 199 1, Teresa Teng was invited to participate in the Japanese "Red and White Competition" for the third time. According to media reports, before the performance, she publicly stated that she would represent "Hong Kong" in the "Red and White" competition, which touched the sensitive nerves of the Taiwan Province provincial authorities. Even China TV's New Year's Eve party "Welcome the New Year with Love" will broadcast some "red and white competitions" by recording, which makes China TV hesitate. Many years later, Deng Changxi said that these rumors should all be misunderstandings. "Teresa Teng has always stressed that he is from China and never denies that he is from Taiwan Province Province."
