How should the embarrassing scene of Hong Kong music scene being destroyed by the "Four Kings" end?

When it comes to the music scene in Hong Kong, we can't help but mention the "Four Heavenly Kings". They were the hottest male singers in Hong Kong in the 1990s, and their popularity even spread to all Asian regions. In the most popular era of the "Four Heavenly Kings", they monopolized the music scene in Hong Kong, which basically meant the whole entertainment circle in Hong Kong, and also led the entertainment circle in Hong Kong to the highest point, which made the first batch of true idolatry in China come out. In the next two or three decades, no matter how to promote the titles of "the new four kings" and "the successor of the kings", the influence of the real four kings has never changed.

On April 6th, Andy Lau fans posted a video on the social platform, the content of which was 1999' s behind-the-scenes drills and performance video clips during the tour in Andy Lau. The reason why I often send this video is because as early as 199 1, when Andy Lau first became famous, he told his fans that he expected to leave some side shots for himself and his fans after he turned 60.

Looking back on the "Four Heavenly Kings" who swept China in the 1990s, they are increasingly lonely now. Andy Lau's main business has changed from a singer to a "bad drama brand spokesperson". Andy Lau has been indifferent to the world since he married the wife of the King of Heaven on 20 18, and devoted herself to becoming a "female slave", not to mention dawn, regardless of body shape, appearance or singing skills.

Looking back, only Jacky Cheung stayed in the music circle, so every time Jacky Cheung held a tour, it became a retro venue for middle-aged and old-aged boys born in 1980s. Twenty years later, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan declined not only the four kings, but also the entertainment circle at its peak. But until now, from the historical point of view, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan entertainment circles can have today, perhaps because of the "Four Kings".

1970 or so, Hong Kong is in a unique era. With the impact of foreign cultures and the expectation of China people's return, what young people in Hong Kong need most is a sense of cultural and artistic trust. Because of geographical difficulties, Hong Kong's social economy has developed rapidly, but the cultural and creative industries are not fixed, which is also called the Gobi of industrial production.

In the next two years, the overall cultural level of the people of Hong Kong gradually improved, and their requirements for spiritual support became greater and greater. That is to say, before China recognized other cultures and arts, local cultures and arts in Hong Kong gradually rose, among which Cantonese songs were a very good way of inheritance. At that time, the popular rock songs in Hong Kong, the popular songs in Europe and America, and the Cantonese songs in the hearts of the masses were mostly equivalent to China people's views on the duet in Northeast China today.

Samuel Hui's music is not worthy of the name, and there are no classical works. In recent years, it is extremely difficult to promote Cantonese songs in Hong Kong. Until 1972, Samuel Hui used a song "Ling Yun Lou" to raise Cantonese songs that were originally just unpopular to a higher level of life, and then released the music "Ghost Horse and Double Stars", which was also popular in Southeast Asia outside Hong Kong, and the pioneering period of Cantonese songs came.

Samuel Hui broke away from the traditional people's understanding of Cantonese songs. After his solo album sold well, Samuel Hui was crowned as the founder of Hong Kong film and television circle, and after becoming famous in the same year, Samuel Hui also opened the first concert tour of Hong Kong film and television circle.

With the pioneers, Hong Kong music industry has gradually evolved a series of industrial chains around singers and Cantonese songs. From artists' companies and star brokerage companies to various award ceremonies, a detailed industrial chain of games and entertainment has gradually emerged. At that time, Hong Kong once became the soft power of music culture in Southeast Asia.

In the early 1980s, there was no definition of "King of Songs" in China. At that time, there were three famous people in Hong Kong, namely Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui. Among them, apart from Anita Mui, the fan wars between Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung were the first to provoke the scandals of game and entertainment stars. It is these two cold male gods that the reporters of the first news media in Hong Kong chase the most news reports.

After seeing the necessity of fans, the news media of Hong Kong stocks gradually emerged, exaggerating the differences and benefits transmission between Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam in various ways. As a matter of fact, Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam have a very good relationship in private, and they are regarded by the news media and fans as sworn enemies. From 65438 to 0986, Leslie Cheung won the Taiwan Province Original Golden Melody Award for his music With Who * * *. The period of Alan Tam's ruling song Taiwanese Golden Melody Award is over. At that time, there was a big news report that Alan Tam fans couldn't accept the result. More than 1,000 Tan Fen and Zhang Fen gathered together to fight for a better super idol.

Because of this incident, Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam decided to quit the film and television circle one after another, which led to the headless entertainment circle, and the gap with the big-name pop stars was five years.

After the silence of the four heavenly kings for many years, Hong Kong song fans have long lost their spiritual strength, and many giants in the film and television circle are optimistic about this stage and start a star-making plan. 1992, Zhang Wenxin, the director of Radio Television Hong Kong, announced the opening of the variety show Sunshine Plan to select singers, and spread that according to this selection, Hong Kong might select four singers with symbolic significance. After the news media learned this information, they used Buddhism.

Over time, many Hong Kong fans have been moved by the wind and gradually deduced the coding sequence of who will be elected as the four kings. Among them, Andy Lau, who has been famous for many years, and Andy Lau, 1992, have already made their own film and television career. Thanks to movies such as Tears Running and Love in Heaven, comments from Andy Lau users have long been household names in Hong Kong.

After becoming famous, Andy Lau gradually set foot in the field of songs. The newly released solo album "Can I" is popular in Hong Kong music scene, and is considered to be the first one among the four kings without objection.

In addition, Jacky Cheung should have been Andy Lau's most powerful competitor. Although representative music has not been released yet, Jacky Cheung's shocking performance in the famous debut audition has attracted many people's attention. Not only is his voice shocking, but his film with Andy Lau also won him the best supporting role in the Hong Kong Film Awards.

If Andy Lau was elected as Wang Li by the evaluation of film and television production users, and Jacky Cheung ranked second by the comprehensive strength of singing, then Dawning simply depends on the appearance of "milk dog". 1992 Shuguang is booming in Hong Kong with its famous debut. It is the role of a cold male god in the hearts of many girls, and in the entertainment circle, girls are the core. After the release of the latest album "Love is Fate" in the same year, Dawn relied on it.

After choosing, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan fans still don't know who the last king is. Some people say that it may be another superstar after Alan Tam and Hacken Lee, but after Hacken Lee became famous at that time, some of them were too inflated and reported an accident and were unlikely to be elected. In addition, there is Anita Mui's highly respected Gao Tu Xu. Frankly speaking, Xu's overall strength is still there, but he is too old to be accepted by young people, so he has also been spread.

When official website finally announced the main lineup of the four kings, Aaron Kwok's appearance aroused strong protests from many people. The reason is that most Hong Kong fans didn't know Aaron Kwok at first, and they thought why this unknown boy with no basic fans became the four kings. But this question did not last long. After Aaron Kwok became famous, he not only resisted fighting, but also excelled in singing and dancing. The relationship between important people is an optimistic boy. This setting was quickly accepted by everyone. After several performances, fans in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan were basically collected by four people.

Now it seems that it is really accidental that the original four kings became famous. Actually, it's not. Judging from the relationship between characters, Andy Lau is a well-known winner of the Golden Horse Award in Cang Sang, Jacky Cheung is the god of comprehensive strength, Liming is a popular nursing dog, and Aaron Kwok is a cold-blooded presidential boyfriend. This main lineup, not to mention the original work, is the current composition. It's hard to think about it without fire. There is always one of the four flavors that you like.

China's film and television circle after 1992 is not so much dominated by Cantonese songs as by the four heavenly kings. After Hong Kong's integration with the Mainland, the regal demeanor gradually swept through China. Due to the impact of singing methods, the just-started domestic film and television circle was replaced overnight by the four kings whose Cantonese songs and singing skills were at their peak.

At that time, the streets and alleys of China were covered with posters of heavenly kings, and there were four songs of heavenly kings in the tape recorder shop. After school, boys follow Andy Lau's example and go to the hairdresser's to get their hair cut, while girls like to discuss who is more handsome, Liming or Andy Lau.

Due to the unprecedented popularity of the Four Heavenly Kings, since 2000, when 1992, 90% of the fans in Hong Kong and China were carrying the Heavenly Kings flag, which led to the musicians in Hong Kong and Taiwan basically having no way out, and good works could not be released at all. Without the brand endorsement of Tianwang, the partners refused to negotiate, and the development trend of excellent singers was chaotic in the indoor space. At that time, king of china was unattainable.

Eleven years, as long as it is the China Song Award, it is basically entered by four people. It is precisely because of this that many Cantonese writing singers have gradually transformed and developed. The best examples are Ka Kui Wong and other places. Because there is no boss behind the scenes, Beyond is overwhelmed by Cao Meng who has been suitable for Anita Mui for many years. In view of this situation at that time, Ka Kui Wong said helplessly, "There is no music scene in Hong Kong.

However, at the end of 1999, as Jacky Cheung and Dawn Shuguang announced their withdrawal from the Hong Kong Song Awards ceremony one after another, they would no longer receive all the honorary awards for songs, thus announcing the end of the "Four Kings" song period. After the "Four Heavenly Kings", the music scene in Hong Kong gradually declined. There are only a handful of male singers with good singing skills and high popularity, and there are only three in their hearts.

Zheng Zhongji 1995 Zheng Zhongji sang for Jacky Cheung's album, which was highly valued by the producers and became a signing singer. Zheng Zhongji's singing skills are good, but rare singing skills are rare. There are obvious and euphemistic differences and feelings in his infatuation. In many of his works with Jacky Cheung, the God of Songs, Zheng Zhongji didn't cry, but after Zheng Zhongji, he didn't want to be a singer, so he acted in a comedy, which consumed his good voice and singing skills.

Nicholas Tse is well-read in songs. At the age of fifteen, he wrote his first song "Estimation Error", 1996 became famous, and 1999 became popular with a song "Thank you for your love". Nicholas Tse can play, sing, arrange and sing with good skills. His voice is rough, steady and explosive, and his singing is very infectious. He looks handsome and tangible, and he has all the standards to be a superstar. Some people even say that Nicholas Tse ended the "Four Kings" period, and the old-timers in the circle also praised Nicholas Tse. Andy Lau, the heavenly king, once said, "The Nicholas Tse period is beyond reproach.

Eason Chan, at the age of 2 1, participated in the 14 TVB nova singing competition and won the championship. As we all know, this competition has excavated many novices for the entertainment circle in Hong Kong. However, in the first two years after winning the championship, Eason Chan never found a suitable singing style, so it never really became popular. On the contrary, Nicholas Tse became a striking and purple novice singer with the song "Thank you for your love 1999", so many people said that Nicholas Tse was the successor of Hong Kong opera music at that time.

As the first champion of the rookie singing contest, Anita Mui also took a fancy to Eason Chan who came from behind. She thinks that Eason Chan is a super talented singer with strong overall strength. With the support of Anita Mui, Eason Chan quickly gained a foothold in the music world.

Can't get out of Jacky Cheung and Anita Mui's mind. Five years after her debut, Eason Chan released The King of K Songs, which swept the streets and established her influence in the music world and became a singer comparable to Nicholas Tse. Since then, Eason Chan has released a number of pop songs in succession, and its popularity and reputation have been continuously improved. In another five years, exaggeration will completely push Eason Chan to the top of music. Since then, Eason Chan has become an irreplaceable role in the Hong Kong music scene, and has been regarded by the news media and audience as a new generation of "singing gods" after Jacky Cheung.

Today, Eason Chan has become an iconic role in the Hong Kong pop music scene. His design style is unique, his voice is firm and hoarse, his singing method is lazy and unique, and his singing skills are exquisite. Eason Chan is good at combining beauty with classics. He can integrate hoarse and lively cuteness into his heart and lead Cantonese songs to a new aspect ratio. For various reasons, Zheng Zhongji and Nicholas Tse failed to achieve a positive result in Hong Kong's music scene. Although Eason Chan was not the best when he made his debut, he became the most dazzling superstar in Hong Kong's music scene after 2000 through his diligence and perseverance. Some even said that Eason Chan was the "ultimate fig leaf" in Hong Kong's music scene.
