1985 (Wed)
"The First Time" – Original Song: "Forbidden Zone" - Nakamori Akira, Music: Hosono Haruomi, Lyrics: Peter Lai, Singing: Zhang Guorong
1985 was my first year of officially returning to Hong Kong from abroad to work, and I didn't think about it, and I directly encountered the Series of Mars hitting the moon in the Cantonese pop music scene.
At that time, I worked in the TV station, and I always had to face these superstars and newcomers, to arrange different music videos, music programs, and final awards ceremonies, which was a very transformative year in my life. The days of going to college and acting in musicals have become rehearsals, productions, teaching classes, and meetings every day, which is something I never thought about, including meeting with Master Gu Jiaxuan, working with Teacher Zheng Guojiang, not to mention having the opportunity to interact with so many superstars, which is really deeply touching ("Am I dreaming?"). )！ So, although I can bring some nutritious things from abroad to be of great use, I still learn a lot in the process.
In the previous dance music, I have talked about how the "Love Trap" and "Storm Goddess Lorelei" between the two kings are inseparable from "Unruly Wind", "Girl's Heart" and "The First Time", and at the same time, there is a big explosion of the first type of other red people Mei Yanfang's "Bad Girl", and Ye Qianwen's "200 Degrees", together in the dance music, each shows its magic, it is really a god war. Among them, only our little prince Chen Baiqiang did not play with them very personally, and instead produced a very qualified, ambitious, but no dance music including the album, "Deeply In Love with You", he was like this, "Just let me do my thing"!
The second type of singers who exploded also glowed in dance music, including Lin Zixiang's "12 Inches" of Flipping the Earth, Xu Guanjie's "Most Urgent and Fun", Rowan's "Persian Cat" and "In My Life", so as not to let the younger generations lead the way, and all have good results!
"Persian Cat" and "Bad Girl" written by Pan Weiyuan and Lin Zhenqiang were banned by Radio Television Hong Kong as soon as they came, which is naturally the reason why the lyrics are too explicit, ha! In the end, of course, the ban was lifted quickly, so this is also the reason why the speed of cultural push forward is relatively fast, how wonderful this explosion is!
"Gas Cat" – Original: "Dreamer House of Admiration" - Masatoshi Nakamura, Song: Nobody, 词: Ban Ying-yuan, Chanting: 罗
The new singers of the third category of this explosion are mainly love songs, which is a smart choice in the limelight, because dance music is really not their strength for the time being! Similarly, the fourth type of predecessors certainly did not fight in the dance music industry, which is not their field. So despite the complexity, the direction of the Cantonese pop music scene is still clear at a glance!
The struggle between the two kings is still front and center in each person's vision. Slow songs are also one for you, one for me! Next, let's explore the wonderful slow songs of the four handsome men in the first category in 1985!
"Sweet silk overflows from the corners of your mouth,
Forget the painful loss of the past.
In the romantic breath, in the darkness,
It's just you and me, and there is never the impulse of this moment. ”
Rain and Night Romans – Original: "Fantasy" - Akira Fuse, Song: Kisablow Makigi, Lyrics: Mukoyuki, Chorus: 谭咏咏谭咏咏
Both Alan and Leslie know it's better not to overlap with each other, so both superstars use different methods to interpret their love songs. Alan's orientation is forceful, and more aggressive with his voice and charm, the waves let fans into his love world, a world they can easily enter, because this big brother is friendly and friendly, and naturally makes you feel his warmth!
This kind of treatment is still very accommodating to his powerful "certain kind of men" and female fans in all aspects. As a comparison, you can refer to the difference between the next generation of Jacky Cheung when he covered this classic work of Tan Yonglin around 2000, I will feel even more touching, perhaps because he does not have to take care of any group, but should be romantic to be completely romantic, which is one of the reasons why Jacky Cheung has been able to become popular until now.
"It's like sleeping with a white cloud in your arms."
The man seems to be drunk in a white cloud
How beautiful it is to be with you
Breathing sounds like poetry."
"I Do" – Music: Li Xiaotian, Word: Zheng Guojiang, Sing: Zhang Guorong
Leslie and Alan are completely in the opposite direction, completely ignoring "a certain type of man" elegant, sexy, and characterful, every word is wrapped in romance, like dumplings, oh, the Greater Bay Area, it should be wontons! Don't play momentum with Alan.
But Zhang Guorong, who is somewhat rebellious (the No. 4 wishing artist decoded number), did not refuse to be thousands of miles away, but he knew his position very well, so he attracted fans purely by charm! How beautiful and seductive is the contrast between light and darkness! Both superstars were equally popular with Hong Kong audiences at the time, but with so different styles!
"You said to me you can't fall down
You and I never have to say I'm sorry."
"Lucky Star" – Music: Yang Yunbiao, Word: Xiang Xuehuai, Singing: Tan Yonglin
In fact, Tan Yonglin can also be very tender if he wants to be tender, he is too good at singing. But positioning is still the most important thing for a singer. This smaller love song allows us to hear Alan's softer side, but his bite and overall feeling will still be more positive, and light, so he has been positioned without deviation, and also makes this local original main work very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! Tan Yonglin, who didn't use so much force, still didn't throw himself away from the masses! On the same album, I personally prefer "The Most Loved You" and that Alan.
"Once upon a time, snow sealed the sky
Lone traveler, shoulders up
His loneliness, he was tired of
I used to cry several times late at night."
"Thanks to You" – Original song: "Sailing" - Rod Stewart, Music: Gavin Sutherland, Word: Lin Zhenqiang, Singing: Zhang Guorong
Although it is said that several of the first type of celebrities, the most rock and roll is Tan Yonglin, but the character of Zhang Guorong will still challenge the difficulty, he adapted rock singer Rod Stewart's "Sailing", in order to show that he can not only use magnetic voice, with romance and sexiness to win everyone's love and support. In fact, "Sailing" is not an easy song to sing, but it goes back to the Western-style situation that Leslie feels comfortable with, allowing him to play a different charm and power!
And Lin Zhenqiang wrote Zhang Guorong's true inner experience and his sincerity to fans, or this is a 80s version of "Good Songs for You", but it has improved a lot.
But if you want to discuss it to a deeper level, in fact, the original songs of "Lucky Star" and "All Thanks to You", reverse the singer, filler does not move, this will have a very interesting effect! I'm sure the two will have two more classics.
"I miss you in my heart, and I miss you now."
Miss everything yesterday
Missing you, missing you
Red eyes with tears in my eyes remembering."
Deep-seated- Original: For the Use of 谁- Junichi Inagaki, Song: Tetsuji Hayashi, Lyrics: Toshiaki Hayashi, Chorus: Haku hyakujo
Although it is the theme song of the movie "The Last Victory", everyone only remembers how powerful Danny's charm was at that time! This song will not lose to the works of the two kings in any way, and it has also cultivated a small "Deeply In Love with You" cult following, also because it is really on an equal footing with the works of the two kings, and it speaks our hearts to the little prince! "Deeply in Love with You" is a most ambitious album by Chen Baiqiang at that point in time, but this ambition is not to compete for the two kings, but his extreme challenge to his own singing skills and feelings. (Zhang Guorong challenged Rod Stewart, Chen Baiqiang challenged Phil Collins!) Who among the current idol singers would dare to challenge Bruno Mars? ）
The stylish Danny never cares about what is not king, so "Deeply in Love with You" has become more low-key. But people who like it, like that, reach a state of madness. The entire album of "Deeply in Love with You" has stabilized Chen Baiqiang's lofty status, quality and taste!
"Still love her deeply, still love her deeply
On the cape of the sky to the roar of wind and rain, shout this sentence"
"A Sentence of Obsessive Heart" – Music: Zhong Zhentao / Yang Yunbiao, Word: Lu Yongqiang, Sing: Zhong Zhentao
"A Sentence of Obsession" is a work of Zhong Zhentao that can compete with any of the above songs for the length of a day! Both the musical structure and the lyrics are first-class, but unfortunately, under the light of the two kings, it may be missed by many people! Bee's brother's musical talent is indeed often snubbed, because he is too tall and mighty, too handsome! Like Danny, he did not participate in this "two kings and one queen" competition, but in the first type of red people, he still shined with strength and talent, and he went to become a film director in this year, with remarkable achievements.
Where did the talent of hong Kong's superstars come from?
"The Fate of Hope" - Music: Chen Baiqiang, Word: Zheng Guojiang, Singing: Chen Baiqiang
The reason why the "Deeply In Love With You" album has a little cult following may have something to do with this song, because this is the most naked song in the cooperation between Chen Baiqiang and Zheng Guojiang. Although he also has a song "My Story" later, I believe that people familiar with Chen Baiqiang will know that this lyric is the most personal one for Chen Baiqiang, and his interpretation is far better than in "My Story".
A person so lovely, who has been pursuing love, is not simply a pink life, but really a purple life!
Thinking of you in my heart, thinking of you now... Danny！
1985 Third Set of Honorable Mentions (III):
Most singy – Original: "With a Ying in the Last Scene" - 仓桥卢, Song: Kisablow Suzuki, Lyrics: Toshiaki Hayashi, Recited by 谭咏咏
While it's not as popular as other songs from the same album, I love it. I keep telling you that Alan can be completely soft and gentle. Although the chorus is still a bit tall, so it takes a little effort, he handles it very well. The structure of "Can't Forget You" "Love You" has a very different Alan's technical and emotional approach. This is the best listening Tam Wing Lin. Super touching!
"Eternal Love" – Music: Lin Minyi, Word: Wen Jingyi, Singing: Chen Baiqiang
This is really Lin Minyi's era, and the first capital is a representative work. Like "Confused", "Eternal Love" is also a song that can be very sexy, but there are also "Confused", the singer is still the No. 9 romance, so although the effect is first-class, there is no Blessing no. 8. But that's okay, it's just as good!
