<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="155" > Wang Jie's "a dream" that was completely "shattered" by the "Four Heavenly Kings"</h1>
In the 1990s, the boom of Hong Kong's "Four Heavenly Kings" swept through the mainland entertainment circle, and no one knew Andy Lau, no one did not learn from Aaron Kwok, no one did not sing Jacky Cheung, and no one did not fan the dawn.
Before that, there was another singer in the Hong Kong music scene who should have become the "king of heaven" - Wang Jie.
Why "should have been"?
Wang Jie is an original singer, whose first album ,"A Game, a Dream" hit the sky and broke the sales record in Asia with 18 million copies.
Unfortunately, this record was created by Wang Jie in Taiwan, so it caused displeasure among Hong Kong music bigwigs and received a lot of unfair treatment.
For example, he reached platinum record sales in two months after returning to Hong Kong, but he did not receive a weighty award.
In the interview, Wang Jie said, "In order to eliminate Wang Jie, they created four other things and used four monsters to suppress him." ”
The four monsters in his mouth are the "four kings" who now have the supreme status in the entertainment industry.
Record-breaking exclusion and poisoning, how powerful was Wang Jie at his peak? Were the "Four Heavenly Kings" really created to suppress Wang Jie?
Wang Jie's starting line is higher than That of Andy Lau and others, and he is destined to enter the entertainment circle from birth.
His father, Wang Xia, and his mother, Xu Yu, were both Shaw's best actors who came to Hong Kong from Taiwan in their early years, but with the birth of four children, the quarrel between the two has never stopped.
Wang Jie was not less implicated, and was always hung up by his father to educate, so that when he saw his father untie his belt, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground.
At the age of three, Wang Jie was exposed to the big screen.
By the time he was nine years old, his salary had surpassed that of many adults.
According to this development, Wang Jie may deliver good results in the development of the film and television circle.
But a surprising decision made by her mother two years later shattered the already unheated family and changed the direction of Wang Jie's life.
Xu Yu wanted to be red, but at that time, Shao's had begun to decline.
So she took on a role in a restricted movie.
When Wang Jie's father learned the news, the two unsurprisingly quarreled again, and this dispute made the feelings between the two disappear.
The following year, his parents divorced, and Wang Jie stayed in Hong Kong with his father, while his mother returned to Taiwan with three other children and property.
Life was already full of fatigue, and his father did not have the heart to take care of Wang Jie, so he sent him to boarding school.
Wang Jie, who is in adolescence, has suffered from the blow of family changes and has been deeply affected psychologically.
It took half a year to see his father, Wang Jie was extremely lonely and empty, unable to act, so he pinned his sadness on music.
At the age of 14, Wang Jie's debut work "The Doll is Crying" was created, and the song pinned on the thoughts and complaints of his family.
The father had not yet survived his son's song, so he ran back to Taiwan because he could not get along in Hong Kong, leaving Wang Jie alone in this familiar and unfamiliar land.
Perhaps because the soul has nowhere to pin down, Wang Jie noticed a girl who was also "lonely".
The girl' name was Desha, a mixture of American and French races, very beautiful but was ridiculed and alienated by others because of her polio walking and some abduction.
Wang Jie has a good eye for discovering beauty, and invited Desha to dance at a dance party, and the two became very good friends.
As they became more and more in contact, Wang Jie and Desha fell in love.
In love, Wang Jie called Desha with the nickname of "Annie" and wrote the song "Annie" in her name.
At that time, only the song was composed, and Wang Jie wanted to wait until the end of the summer vacation when Annie returned to let her fill in the lyrics with herself.
But what he didn't expect was that in just a few dozen days, the two would never see each other again.
Returning home from the summer vacation, Annie learned to drive, and unfortunately died in a car accident when she was out playing with friends, Wang Jie was very sad and completed the song "Annie" with the thought of Annie.
After Anne left, Wang Jie was alone and ushered in graduation.
I thought that my parents would always come up with someone to pick them up, but in the end they failed to live up to his expectations.
In desperation, Wang Jie sat alone with his luggage on the bus to Taiwan.
After returning to Taiwan, Wang Jie found that his parents had already formed their own families, so he found a job to support himself.
One night, he was riding a motorcycle through a dark road, when he suddenly saw a few small hooligans surrounding a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and he rescued her.
Fortunately, the speed of the motorcycle was fast and it was not caught up by the hooligans.
In order to find a place to hide, Wang Jie took the little girl to the hotel to take refuge temporarily.
Later, the little girl promised herself, and gave birth to Wang Jie's child before marriage.
But at that time, Wang Jie was only 19 years old, and the money on his body was not enough to support his wife and children.
In order to help his children get a hukou, he decided to serve in the military and after three years he could officially settle down in Taiwan.
After leaving his wife and children in the care of his mother, Wang Jie left.
Three years later, Wang Jie returned home and searched for his wife's whereabouts with joy, but found that her wife was gone, leaving only her three-year-old daughter waiting for him.
At that time, Wang Jie was unwilling to give up his wife, and he hated her ruthlessness even more.
But years later, Wang Jie learned the truth about his wife's departure from his uncle.
It turned out that during Wang Jie's time as a soldier, his mother's care for his wife and daughter was not good.
He even took people to his home to play at night, forcing his wife to dance with the men, and the wife could not bear it and was forced to leave a letter and flee.
Wang Jie, who learned the truth, has a deeper resentment towards his mother, and also tries to find her traces after becoming famous, but unfortunately the time is too long, and his wife has disappeared into the vast sea of people.
In order to support his daughter, Wang Jie did almost all the low-level work, sometimes four jobs a day.
Worked as a coolie, delivered takeaways, worked as a coach, drove a taxi...
Later, some friends praised him for his good voice, so he began to do a residency in the bar, and sometimes he would run a dragon set on the set, which was also a foot to step into the film and television circle.
During this period, Wang Jie did not think of being a singer, he also cast works to the record company, but they all fell into the sea.
Once, he went to Rolling Stone Records to find Li Zongsheng, hoping that he would listen to his own works.
It was really a moment of lack of people in the music world, and Li Zongsheng listened to the sample with curiosity.
It was good, but there was already Qi Qin in the music world, and Wang Jie's voice was not popular, so he refused.
Economically, it was not rich, and her daughter suddenly had a serious illness, in order to make up for the treatment fee, Wang Jie asked for help, and finally benefited from the help of Li Shixian, who had not yet become a singer-songwriter, and barely made up enough to do the operation.
-Saying that it is help, it is actually using money to buy Wang Jie's creation.
During small talk, Li Shixian learned that Wang Jie had the intention of becoming a singer, so he pushed him to Li Shouquan, who had just set up a studio.
Li Shouquan has produced classic records such as "Sky Sky Blue" and "Rouge Beitou" for Pan Yueyun, and has also cooperated with Luo Dayou, Jacky Cheung, Qi Qin and others, with vast resources.
It was at the time of the lack of people, and seeing Wang Jie's strength, Li Shouquan did not hesitate to push him into the UFO record.
When he first joined the company, Wang Jie was not reused, and most of his debut album consisted of songs composed of previously created songs.
Poor boys with no background and fame are naturally ostracized by others in the company.
Someone deliberately asked Wang Jie to estimate how many copies of his records could be released.
Wang Jie thought for a moment, three hundred thousand.
His self-confidence caused ridicule from the audience, after all, at that time, singers with a certain degree of popularity could not reach this number.
But their ridicule did not make Wang Jie sad, but secretly decided in his heart: You wait and see.
When recording the song "A Game and a Dream", Li Zongsheng also came to join in the fun, and after seeing Wang Jie's singing method, he poured cold water, saying that this song cannot be sung so straight, and must be gentle and add some vibrato.
Wang Jie did not listen to the guidance of his predecessors and still insisted on his own singing method.
When the record was released, not only was the company's people shocked, but even Li Zongsheng was hit in the face by this unoptimistic record.
Wang Jie's debut album received attention from all over Asia as soon as it was released, with a total of 18 million records sold.
And Qi Qin, which Li Zongsheng believed he could not reach, only used "About Winter" to create sales of 1.2 million copies.
After becoming famous in one fell swoop, Wang Jie's name spread throughout Taiwan to Hong Kong.
Interestingly, Maggie Cheung starred in the MV of "A Game and a Dream" as a vegetarian, so she was excavated by a star scout.
UFO Records is a subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Seeing that Wang Jie was so popular, he decided to open up the Hong Kong market for him.
In 1988, Wang Jie regained his footing in Hong Kong, this time walking towards the Warner Music Group with passion and confidence that he was not lonely and lonely.
On the way, he came across a record store, the walls were full of Zhang Guorong and Tan Yonglin's Haibo, and Wang Jie stood in front of the poster and stopped for a while.
Later, he walked out of the door of the record store and said silently: In three months, my poster will definitely appear in the most prominent position here.
If a stranger had heard it at that time, he would have thought that the boy in front of him was too arrogant.
But two months later, Wang Jie's words came true.
In February 1989, Wang Jie released his first Cantonese album in Hong Kong, which contained eleven songs, including Wang Jie's solo "A Game and a Dream", "Forget You Forget Me" and "Gentle You" sung with Lin Yilian.
Although the album has been refilled, it still retains the flavor and characteristics of Taiwanese pop music, which is very different from the songs in Hong Kong at that time, so it has gained public attention as soon as it was released.
Later, Wang Jie released a number of albums in a row, and the sales of each album were considerable.
At the same time, Wang Jie's father met Zhang Guorong when he starred in the film, and thinking of his son's temperament, he asked Zhang Guorong to take care of him in Hong Kong.
This statement may not be useful to other stars, but who let him find Zhang Guorong.
After returning to Hong Kong, Zhang Guorong began to pay attention to Wang Jie consciously or unconsciously, and every time he attended the event ceremony together, he would pull Wang Jie to let him stand on his C position.
In one photo, Wang Jie and Zhang Guorong, Chen Baiqiang, And Mui Yanfang stand together, four young people with extraordinary style, which one of them can carry half of the Hong Kong music scene.
That was Wang Jie's peak period, and it was also the moment he missed the most.
The career has reached its peak, and Wang Jie's feelings have also ushered in the spring.
He met Fang Wenlin, the second girl in the "Flying Eagle Three Sisters", on the shooting scene.
The two fell in love at first sight and came together, but the company broke up the two by hindering each other's development.
Many years later, Fang Wenlin is still full of regrets when she mentions this relationship, which is the one she has put into the most effort and is also the most painful.
Later, "Tan Zhang Scramble" was interrupted due to the frequent farces of fans, Tan Yonglin no longer participated in receiving the award, and Zhang Guorong quit the music scene.
Immediately after, Li Ming, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Aaron Kwok and others were successively praised, and Wang Jie, who felt the pressure, used his best efforts to produce four albums, but there was no previous momentum.
In 1992, the four-person ensemble was called the "Four Heavenly Kings", opening the door to the era of Hong Kong's entertainment industry idols.
At that time, Wang Jie was not very old, only 28 years old, and his strength and fame were no less than those of Dawn and Aaron Kwok, who came later.
However, because Wang Jie is a Taiwanese national, he missed the position of the "Four Heavenly Kings".
In addition, his appearance is not as good as several other people also have certain factors.
As for the statement that the "Four Heavenly Kings" were used against Wang Jie, it can be said that it is false.
However, when the Hong Kong music scene and the Taiwanese music scene were hot, Wang Jie was defined as a Taiwanese singer and said that it was impossible not to be affected at all.
But more, it should be the change of the times, Wang Jie's voice and singing method gradually no longer mainstream range, slowly passed.
Some people have questioned Wang Jie's achievements in singing compared with Jacky Cheung and others.
In fact, when filming "Carmen in Mong Kok" in the early years, Jacky Cheung was already a singer with a small reputation, but he and Andy Lau both starred in the film as actors.
However, Wang Jie was favored by special medicine to sing the interlude "You are the eternal pain in my chest" and the ending song "Forget You Forgot Me".
From this point, it is not difficult to see that at that moment, Wang Jie was recognized by the industry.
Later, Wang Jie was suppressed by the company because of the appearance of the "Four Heavenly Kings", and the high-intensity work made him physically and mentally exhausted.
For a long time, he was deeply immersed in insomnia, and he also suffered from anorexia, and when he was the thinnest, he was only 98 pounds, and he wanted to throw up when he saw the microphone.
Fortunately, the album sales were still passable, and wang jie inadvertently opened the mainland market, and "Homecoming" sung on the Spring Festival Gala program was well received, and it was the top of the mainland audience song chart held by CCTV.
After that, he played Chinese songs and gave up Cantonese songs.
In Wang Jie's controversy, the "drink" matter was more evil.
It is said that when Wang Jie signed the emperor, his limelight overshadowed the young and vigorous Xie Tingfeng.
Nicholas Tse was unhappy, so the company bundled the two and used Wang Jie's fame to make Tse Tingfeng popular, and at that time, Eason Chan was still working as an assistant to Wang Jie.
At first, Wang Jie was not unhappy, but as Xie Tingfeng became more and more favored, the company distributed a lot of resources belonging to Wang Jie to him, and Wang Jie began to lose his temper.
In 2007, Wang Jie's contract with the Emperor was about to expire, and the Emperor proposed to renew the contract, but Wang Jie refused.
Wang Jie also did not expect that he would soon face a disaster, and the impact of this disaster was so far-reaching that he remembered it for a lifetime.
Wang Jie said that he had a cup of coffee before leaving a company, and when he returned home, his throat became unbearable, swollen as thick as his head, and his eyes were about to burst out.
When he went to the hospital for treatment, the doctor said that he must have been poisoned by some kind of chemical poison.
Since then, Wang Jie's voice has broken, and his career, which is no longer booming, has fallen to the bottom and become a marginal person.
Two years later, Wang Jie came back, and he spent two years learning muscle vocalization, but it was still a little far worse than before.
At the concert, Wang Jie apologized to the audience: I'm sorry, I didn't get the home guest.
The fans in the audience shouted in unison: We are coming to see you.
This sentence made Wang Jie shed tears in his eyes.
The following year, Wang Jie sang "Am I Really Nothing" in a hoarse voice at the concert.
His voice trembled slightly, and it was difficult to go up to the climax, and the fans sang together, and the voice overshadowed the microphone.
You don't have nothing, you have fans, you have them who love you.
Wang Jie's abandonment by the times is inevitable, not caused by a single factor.
He has a straightforward personality and is quick to speak, and has offended many people because he is young and arrogant and does not succumb to any power.
In addition, with the burst of a series of high-quality young singers such as Jay Chou and Eason Chan, Wang Jie suffered a big loss in the development of the music world, which is also one of the reasons for his fall.
In 2018, Wang Jie posted a photo with Mei Yanfang, Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang on social platforms.
He said:
The boy who hurts me the most, Brother Zhang Guorong often tells me, don't forget your roots! Single-minded for love! Don't forget the original intention! I've never forgotten! Thank you! I've done it! My eldest sister Mei Yanfang, who often tells me that the sexiest man is very good at cooking! So I'm also a very sexy man because the dishes I stir-fry are delicious!
He also said:
Now I am the only one out of the four people in this photo, and one person will be very lonely and lonely,......
At the age of 31, Wang Jie had another marriage, and his wife Mo Qiwen was a beautiful Taiwanese model.
The two married and gave birth to a son after four months of acquaintance.
At that time, the wedding was very luxurious and grand, as if to make up for the debt owed to the first wife.
Unfortunately, the marriage lasted only four years.
After the divorce, Mo Qiwen took her son back to Taiwan to work as an agent, and Wang Jie repeatedly wanted to visit her son but was refused.
At the age of 48, Wang Jie was once again moved, entangled with a girl who was 25 years younger than him.
But what he didn't expect was that the little girl was actually a master of the love scene, and when she was with him, she stepped on five boats, two of whom were Wang Jie's good friends.
The failure of this relationship made Wang Jie no longer believe in love, combined with the collapse of his career, and his age was also old.
In 2016, his father passed away, and Wang Jie seemed to have been abandoned by the world again.
His voice was broken and he could no longer sing like before, his brothers and sisters who loved him died one after another, even his father abandoned himself again, his son could not see, his daughter grew up to work, and he was like a widow and an old man who often felt sad and sad.
Wang Jie was once the unique "Tianwang Superstar" in the hearts of fans, and is the epitome of the development of the Chinese music scene.
His works are still circulated today in major music players and short video social platforms.
He is a prodigal son of a generation, his life is full of legends, he is Wang Jie, no less than the "Four Heavenly Kings" Wang Jie.
