As the saying goes, not the raptor but the river, in the Hong Kong music scene, active a number of "outsiders" from Taiwan, Southeast Asia and other places, they or in Hong Kong for a while, created a golden period, such as Teresa Teng; or planted a flag to set up a faction, showing the style of a generation of heroes, such as Luo Dayou; or purely play tickets, sang several Cantonese songs, such as Chen Shuhua; or have the heart to enter the Chinese entertainment center, and then climb a new peak, such as Xu Meijing, Chen Jieyi; or as a Hong Kong person, who has developed for many years to return to his hometown, such as Zhou Huajian and Wang Jie.
In fact, the Hong Kong music scene is a melting pot, with open and inclusive characteristics, the most adept at using a trick is the "star-sucking Dafa", what East Ying, Western, as long as it is a good thing, it will be used for their own use. Therefore, it is very easy to run around in Hong Kong, as long as you have the real ability, you can get a foothold, and it is also very difficult to run around in Hong Kong, where the masters are like clouds, and sometimes the strong dragon may not be able to fight the snake.
To say that the closest exchange with the Hong Kong music scene is Taiwan, as early as the 1960s, there were a large number of Taiwanese singers pouring into Hong Kong Island.
At that time, Cantonese songs were not yet popular without Xu Guanjie's drive, and young people were keen on Elvis Presley and the Beatles, but the general public could not even figure out how many English letters, so what did they listen to? Naturally, it is a Taiwanese Chinese era song.
According to Huang Chen's "The Development and Rise and Fall of Cantonese Pop: A Study of Hong Kong Pop Music", in the 1960s, Hong Kong set off a boom in Qiong Yao's novels, which led to the release of Taiwanese films in Hong Kong. A "Unforgettable" was quite a hit, and since then the Taiwanese era song has landed in Hong Kong. By the end of the 1960s, entertainment companies began to host Taiwanese song and dance troupes such as "Yixia" to come to Hong Kong for the stage. This kind of song and dance troupe, as far back as Shanghai's "Bright Moon" and "Plum Blossom" organizations, recently studied japan's "Shochiku" and "Takarazuka", attracted by a large number of songs and dances, colorful costumes, which have never been seen by Hong Kong people before, so they are very good.
At that time, almost all the most popular singers in Taiwan came to Hong Kong to visit the cave, including Yao Surong, Ouyang Feifei, Yang Yan, Yi Ru, Qingshan, Li Yaping, Liu Lang, Xie Lei, Chen Fengfen, Lin Chong and so on.
It is said that at that time, all song halls and nightclubs were pressed with Chinese, even local big names such as Xu Xiaofeng, and The pillar must be a Taiwanese singer. Suppose you live in Hong Kong in that era, go to a nightclub to consume, if you can't see a Taiwanese singer on the stage, you can completely suspect that you have come to a fake nightclub, although you are crazy with a glass and ask for a refund, the boss is not only embarrassed to beat you, but also whispers to ask you not to publicize everywhere, because you can't invite Taiwanese singers, you must make your peers laugh, too humiliating.
In this wave of Taiwanese singers, there is one of the youngest singers, named Teresa Teng, who often comes to Hong Kong to perform on stage, and also participated in the recording of "Happy Tonight", which is very popular with Hong Kong people, and has won the titles of "Charity Queen", "Queen of the White Flower Oil Bazaar" and "Hong Kong's Top Ten Most Popular Singers", and she also filmed films such as "Miss Fan" in Hong Kong.

In 1975, Teresa Teng officially signed a contract with Hong Kong PolyGram and became a singer, therefore, Teresa Teng can be said to be a star jointly manufactured by Hong Kong and Taiwan, people are Taiwanese, but the record is from Hong Kong, and this period is definitely the peak of her career, a total of eight "Island National Anthem" series was launched, and the "Faint Humor" that was known as the highest achievement in her singing, the total sales of these records reached 5 million copies. Of course, since I am in a Hong Kong company, I can't say it without singing Cantonese songs, so in 1980 and 1983, I released two Cantonese albums "Incompatible" and "Walking the Road of Life", which opened the precedent for Taiwanese singers to release Cantonese records.

In addition, Teresa Teresa's first solo concert was also held in Hong Kong on March 27, 1976. Three days later, the Hong Kong Teresa Teresa Fan Club was established, making it the world's first Teresa Teresa Fan Club. On December 29, 1983, Teresa Teresa held a 15th anniversary concert in the Hong Kong Red Pavilion, setting four records in the Hong Kong music scene: the first red pavilion performed 6 consecutive performances, 6 full performances, the audience reached 100,000 people, and achieved the highest box office ever. This year, she was only 30 years old.
During the development of Hong Kong, Teresa also had secret contact with the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency, and even her house at 18 Jia Mei Road in Stanley was purchased through the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency. At that time, she had many plans, to perform in the mainland, travel, and even settle down (choosing Suzhou), but unfortunately it did not come to fruition.

Some people have noticed that in Hong Kong, Teresa teng is actually very lonely, rarely participating in show business events and rarely appearing in the media. By the end of the 1980s, she was no longer releasing Chinese albums and was in retreat. Japanese songs are still recorded from time to time.
