On January 10, 1992, a female fan named Komay participated
Radio Commercial Hong Kong Music Awards Ceremony.
The final winner was the group Grasshopper, Beyond won the Silver Award, and the Bronze Award was Tai Chi Band.
When Iekoshi took the stage to sing Amani, the female singer Komay felt that something was wrong, because this was not her first close encounter with Jiaju.
She felt that the foal that night was very depressed, unhappy, and there was an inexplicable loss.
After the award ceremony, Komay also attended the celebration banquet held on the 21st, and she saw the Beyond members throw the trophy aside, who had thought that Ye Shirong had lost the trophy and fell on the table and split it in two.
The colt looked at the broken trophy and smiled and said, "It's so easy to rot."
Komay knows that Beyond's four sons are unhappy, especially Huang Jiaju, because he is always emotional and everything hangs on his face.
Komay then went forward to take a group photo, and it can be seen from the photo that although the family koma has gathered a lot of emotions in front of the camera, his expression is very unnatural.
Komay asked The Foal: Aren't you happy?
Jiaju: No!
Komay: You can see whether you are happy or not from your facial expressions, you can't fool people.
The foal smiled and did not speak.
Komay: Everyone knows that you don't feel bad because you didn't win the Gold Award, because the awards ceremony is based on the calculation of the number of songs played. People cover singers can easily release several records a year, and you have to create, to find inspiration, lyrics, composition takes a long time, it is not easy to produce a record a year, so it is definitely better than others in terms of playback.
After hearing this, Jiaju smiled brightly, and Komay was also very happy.
From this group photo, it can be seen that the family colt and the previous judgment are two people.
The above content is komay's past shared with the fans of the family koma in 2015, there are many contents, but due to time reasons, not all the content has been saved, and only so much can be remembered in the mind.
Although the content is incomplete, through this past, we have a deeper understanding of the family colt.

Beyond is undoubtedly a legend and a leading rock band in the Chinese region.
However, in the 1990s they were indeed suppressed for many years by another combination, the Grasshopper.
From the successive defeats at the "Awards Ceremony" to the street robbery of fans, coupled with the incitement of entertainment media, so to this day Beyond and Grasshopper are still compared by fans of both sides.
Why can the grasshopper combination "pressure" Beyond for many years?
The reason is still the general environment, the current situation, the patron, public opinion and the media.
The members of the Grasshopper Group are: Cai Yizhi, Cai Yijie, and Su Zhiwei.
Cai Yizhi and Cai Yijie are brothers, and Su Zhiwei and he are neighbors and small.
In 1985, Japanese superstar Makoto Kondo went to Hong Kong to give a concert.
Cai Yijie bought a ticket to rush to the scene and had the privilege of getting close to the idol.
In the interaction session with fans, Cai Yijie was called up to perform a show, accompanied by the new three-person group "Junior Team" launched by The Japan Janis Office.
Looking at the three people with unlimited scenery, Cai Yijie moved his mind.
He went back to call On Cai Yizhi and Su Zhiwei, and the three of them took the cursive characters from their surnames and named the group "Grasshopper Boy" and participated in the fourth rookie singing competition.
This year, Huang Jiaju wanted to hold a concert, and the other members actually raised their hands in approval.
You know, Beyond at that time was an unnamed band that hadn't even released an album.
Huang Jiaju bluffed to attract the audience, and in the end, more than 300 people attended the concert called "Forever Waiting".
On the other hand, the grasshopper combination passed the level and broke into the top ten of the competition, but unfortunately, it did not win in the end.
At that time, they chose a Japanese song "Rush Together", and when they were about to sing, the stage suddenly lost power, and the dark scene was noisy. One of the judges in the audience was afraid that the three people's emotions would be affected, so they quickly comforted them, and after the electricity was turned on, they saw that the judge was Mei Yanfang.
In fact, breaking into the top ten of the competition is already very rare, after all, the top ten players are strong. For example, Li Keqin, Zhou Huimin, Jiang Xinyan, Du Dewei, Su Yongkang and others.
The winner of this year's competition is Du Dewei, the runner-up Su Yongkang, and the third runner-up is Huang Jiaju's future girlfriend Lin Chuqi.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > two</h1>
In fact, Lin Chuqi is not Huang Jiaju's first love, his first love should be at the age of 16, when he was studying at Boyen Secondary School in Jordan.
The name of the girl that Jiaju likes is unknown, but she is sweet-looking, tall, and a Shanghainese.
He wrote love letters to the girl, the adolescent foal is very shy, do not dare to personally hand over the love letter to the girl, so he entrusted another female classmate to hand it over, and then the female classmate told him that the girl had a heart to belong, and this ignorant first love would not be over.
Many years later, Huang Jiaju learned that the girl who sent her a love letter did not tell the truth because of her crush on him, in fact, the Shanghai girl also had a good feeling for him.
Jiaju was in love with Pan Xianli when he met Lin Chuqi, Pan Xianli was also a singer, when the two often quarreled because of some contradictions and frictions, and their feelings were on the verge of collapse.
Lin Chuqi is beautiful and generous, passionate about music, and has his own unique insights, all of which deeply attract Jiaju, and Lin Chuqi also appreciates Jiaju's musical talent.
Lin Chuqi knew of Pan Xianli's existence, but she still bravely confessed to Jiaju, and the final love triangle ended with Pan Xianli quitting.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > three</h1>
Due to the failure to achieve results in the competition, the "Grasshopper Combination" soon returned to ordinary life.
Two months later, Mei Yanfang was preparing for her own "Brilliant Concert", because of the lack of an excellent accompaniment team, so she called to invite the "Grasshopper Group".
The three of them were full of surprise when they learned about it, they didn't believe that they could dance with Mei Yanfang at all, until Mei Yanfang appeared in front of them, they didn't know that it was not a dream.
On December 31, 1985, Mui Yanfang held her first solo concert at the Red Pavilion in Hong Kong, with the "Grasshopper Group" as an accompaniment dancer.
The excellent performance of the 15 concerts "Grasshopper Group" was recognized by Mei Yanfang, and after the concert, the three signed a contract under Mei Yanfang.
After signing the contract, Mei Yanfang spent a lot of money to build them, asked professional teachers to teach them dance and music, and created more opportunities for them to take the stage.
Mei Yanfang is not only the boss of the three people, but also their noble and benefactor.
During the period of learning from the "Grasshopper", Wong Ka-koo began to try to compose songs in Cantonese, and also released his debut album "Goodbye Ideal" out of his own pocket.
The album, from the packaging design to the songwriting and recording, was all written by Beyond.
With the release of a new album, Wong is planning an independent concert, but who ever thought that at the most critical time, guitarist Chen Shi'an would leave Hong Kong to study.
This hit Huang Jiaju very hard, because the team members spent a lot of time planning concerts, but the main players suddenly left, and there was no guitarist who could replace Chen Shi'an in a short period of time.
Fortunately, there is no end to the road, and by chance, Jiaju found that the APaul guitar technique that helped Beyond design the poster was good, so he asked A Paul to help, so the concert was finally decided.
The concert was held at the Caritas Centre on Hong Kong Island, and because there was no professional team, they did all the work in front of and behind the stage, from renting audio to publicity to selling tickets.
Originally thought that this carefully made concert can let the audience recognize them, who thought that the concert was not over, the audience went for a long time, and afterwards Huang Jiaju found that not only did not make money, but also lost more than six thousand.
However, this concert is not for nothing, they have attracted the attention of Liu Zhuohui.
Later, Liu Zhuohui introduced Beyond to Chen Jiantian, Who saw their singing style and bet that the four would be on fire later, and then Beyond officially signed kin's company.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >4</h1>
Beyond signed and released her second album, Arab Dancing Girls.
Huang Jiaju's music is always very avant-garde, and he adds a lot of pop elements to the album, as well as exaggerated styling, which makes many people unacceptable.
At this time, the Grasshopper Band was preparing for Mei Yanfang's concert at the end of the year, and their dance and singing skills were improving by leaps and bounds.
On December 24, 1987, Mei Yanfang's "Hundred Changes Mei Yanfang Re-exhibition Guanghua Concert" was held as scheduled.
The groundbreaking 28 concerts were full, setting a new record in the history of the Hong Kong music scene.
At the same time, the excellent performance of the grasshopper group attracted the attention of the "god of song" Rowan, so he had the idea of promoting the younger generation.
After the concert, Mei Yanfang and Rowan let "Grasshopper" sign to Polygold Records, because they broke up with Makoto Kondo, so Mei Yanfang was very depressed and did not have the heart to pay attention to too many things, so please ask friends to pay more attention to "Grasshopper", including Zhang Guorong, who was in the sky at that time.
In 1988, Grasshopper released his first record, Grasshopper, which quickly became popular in Hong Kong.
Although Beyond has been established for five years, the "grasshopper" has steadily suppressed them.
Entertainment media that have always liked to stir up trouble will naturally not miss such an opportunity, so the two fans often quarrel fiercely.
In fact, Beyond and Grasshopper are two completely different bands, the former focusing more on originality and favoring rock and roll. The latter is known for its dance and group singing, which is more popular and more suitable for the general public.
Since 1988, Beyond has spread its wings and soared, and basically every year it will produce a high-impact excellent work, such as "Really Love You" in 1989 and "Glorious Years" in 1990.
Even if it is such a masterpiece, it still loses to the "grasshopper" six times in a row at the "Lingjia Music World" awards ceremony, and even sometimes the "Daming faction" can suppress them.
Beyond's strength is obvious to all, but the Hong Kong music scene environment at that time was so commercial, which was not something that anyone could change.
Fans have also put up posters on the street many times to protest, but Wong said: Silver awards don't matter, because Beyond singing is never for the sake of winning awards.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >5</h1>
In fact, in the face of commercialization, hong Kong music players also made compromises from 1990 to 1991.
His compromise brought Beyond to its heyday, successfully promoting himself to a Hong Kong A-list band.
In the past two years, he has wandered between commercial and non-mainstream music, starring in the movie "Happy Ghost Saves Happy Ghost" with Li Lizhen, Yuan Jieying, Luo Meiwei and others, and singing theme songs and interludes.
Also with Faye Wong and Wan Qiwen, starred in the movie "Beyond Diary of Mo Bully Young Poor".
During this period, Beyond also served as the host of TVB variety shows, although the fame and fortune of these days, but the smile on the face of the family colt is very small, and the words against the heart are more and more.
Commercial success meant a departure from his original intention, and he felt that Beyond had become a "traitor to rock and roll."
He watched those celestial superstars buy the rights to foreign songs, turned into albums, and made a lot of money. There are also all kinds of intricate relationship networks, fame and fortune networks, and slowly he is extremely disappointed in the Hong Kong music scene, and finally indignantly said:
"There is no music scene in Hong Kong, only the entertainment industry!"
It is precisely because of Huang Jiaju's words that there is a little more speculation about the award of "Grasshopper" for six consecutive years, and it is believed that it was under the influence of mentor Mei Yanfang that it won the award.
In Hong Kong, Wong Ka Koo had no fighting spirit, so he went to Japan to develop...
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >6</h1>
The suspicion that the "Grasshopper Group" has won awards for many years is mainly because of Mei Yanfang.
Mui Yanfang is actually 1 year younger than Huang Jiaju, she has a deep relationship with TVB, and she is also a good friend with Run Run Shaw.
Many music awards in Hong Kong are held by TVB, if it is not held by TVB, if Mui Yanfang is not a judge, then will the "Grasshopper Group" still win many awards?
Poor underground bands like Beyond have no backing, let alone relationship, and the gold medal awards are estimated to always have nothing to do with them, even if there is no Grasshopper, other bands will appear.
Of course, the Grasshopper itself is good enough, and their songs are still sung today.
"Grasshoppers" can have impressive results are not all dependent on Mei Yanfang's promotion and the big guys in the circle to take care of, but if these people do not appear, then their singing career is estimated to be more difficult than Beyond, so people can not compete with "life".
Some people say that the deceased is great, and the glory of Huang Jiaju is highly praised by posterity.
In fact, there are not a few famous singers who have died in the Chinese music scene, so why don't you see someone praising them?
Now people like to take the results to deny someone, Jia Ling's box office of a movie is the sum of Zhang Yimou, can you say that Zhang Yimou is not as good as Jia Ling?
Cai Xukun's album sales, Jay Chou also has to bow to the wind, so can you say that Cai Xukun is stronger than Jay Chou?
So some people, some things are not a piece of paper, a brand can make people convinced.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >7</h1>
I have to say that the "Grasshopper Combination" is definitely strong enough, even in the era of the "Four Heavenly Kings", they can still get a piece of the pie, which beyond Beyond.
"No one has a thousand days, and no flowers have a hundred days of red", since 1996, the cause of "grasshopper" has been worse than a year.
However, the era that belongs to them will eventually pass, and the rising stars of the Hong Kong music scene will emerge in an endless stream, with Chen Guanxi, Nicholas Tse, twins and others debuting one after another.
In 2000, Jay Chou, Wang Lihong, Sun Yanzi and others fought in the song world, and Jay Chou single-handedly suppressed other singers.
At this time, the grasshoppers knew that the era that belonged to them was gone.
Unfortunately, the foal did not defeat the grasshopper until his death.
