Answer to Question 1

 The popular music industry shifted to Taiwan and Hong Kong. In these locations Shanghai-derived film music was gradually reshaped through contact with new trends in Western and Japanese popular music . . . Later the rise of television was significant, with soap opera playing a major role in popularizing certain types of songs and their singers. . . .
 Examples from the 1980s and 1990s include Jacky Cheung . . .
 E.g., CD 2:18 Scent performed by Taiwanese singer Winnie Hsin (1994) This song also won a major mainland song prize and represents the sentimental mainstream of popular music at that time.

Answer to Question 2

 After 1949 film song music and similar music was greatly diminished in mainland China to be replaced by the more martial strains of massed song and by further developments of the nationalistic songs already mentioned. These latter were infused with yet more patriotic intensity and increasingly came to be sung by members of state-run ensembles. . . They still occupied much of the public entertainment sphere in the early 1990s.
