After nearly three years of disobedience, Joey Yung finally released a new solo single "So Fresh", which attracted many fans to finally wait.
The style of the new single and the visuals of the MV are very different from Joey Yung's previous works, which is both retro sweet and dynamic, which is refreshing.
It is worth mentioning that this new single in addition to the lead singer Joey Yung, mainland singer Li Sidani also joined and contributed part of the singing, it is said that the person behind it is Joey Yung's agent Huo Wenxi, the first cooperation of the two "popular lang sisters" is naturally not lack of topic attention, coupled with Joey Yung's own strength and traffic, the popularity of the single has continued to rise since it was launched.

Joey Yung was called the "last diva" of the Hong Kong music scene by the Hong Kong media, has been in the industry for 22 years, has held nearly 300 solo concerts, and won the Best Female Singer Award... For the word "Queen of Heaven", she definitely deserves it.
In the entertainment circle with good looks, Joey Yung's appearance conditions are really of a general level, and the reason why she can transform from "ugly duckling" to "queen of heaven" step by step, the "upper history" behind it can be described as wonderful.
01. Due to his appearance, Joey Yung's debut experience was full of twists and turns
In 1995, Faye Wong, Lin Yilian, Zheng Xiuwen and others were fighting for the throne of "Hong Kong Music Queen", and joey Yung had just turned 15 years old.
At this time, Joey Yung had just graduated from high school, and at the same time experienced the family changes of her parents' sudden divorce, as the eldest daughter in the family, she decided to take on the heavy responsibility of taking care of her mother and brother.

Joey Yung, who has a talent for singing since childhood, signed up for a karaoke competition held in Hong Kong, and she was quickly signed by Zhengdong Records.
The next year, Joey Yung was arranged by the company to sing the theme song of the movie "Four 32A and a Banana Boy", at that time, Zhengdong Records wanted to take this opportunity to win the popular Joey Yung, but unfortunately it backfired, the box office of this movie finally hit the street, and Joey Yung could not catch fire.
Not long after, the company made an appointment with Joey Yung on the grounds that she was "not pretty".
Rong Zu'er, who was dismissed and said not to be beautiful, was extremely depressed, and what she did not expect was that her first love boyfriend also left her at this time.
Joey Yung, who suddenly suffered a double blow in her life, had no other way but to be strong and face reality, so she went to find a clerical job to barely survive, and when she was free, she would go to her mother's clothing store to help, although the life was full but there was no hope.

1998 was a watershed year for the Hong Kong music scene, in which the new and old singers in the Hong Kong music scene alternated into the final stage, the veteran singers with deep qualifications gradually became tired, and a large number of new singers emerged.
For 18-year-old Joey Yung, it means that the opportunity she has been waiting for has finally arrived.
On the recommendation of a friend, Joey Yung went to participate in the audition audition of Feitu Records, and finally she stood out from the crowd of contestants and successfully signed a contract with Feitu Records.
Ye Zhiming, the owner behind Feitu Records, is also a legend, who started by selling yachts and accumulated billions of assets in the early 1970s.
Later, Ye Zhiming's sister Ye Yuqing entered the show business circle and debuted as a star, which gave his brother Ye Zhiming the idea of cross-border investment in the entertainment field, so Feitu Records was born.
What Joey Yung did not expect was that at this time, Feitu Records had already reached the stage of surviving, the surface scenery was actually heavily indebted, and the boss Ye Zhiming had a huge debt because of the failure of overseas business investment, and was looking for a buyer for Feitu to take over.
Soon after, the dust settled on the new head of Feitu Records, and he was the famous "watch tycoon" at that time - Yang Shoucheng.

After Yang Shoucheng took over Feitu Records, he renamed it "Emperor Entertainment" as the entertainment branch of the Emperor Group.
Yang Shoucheng, who is ready to do a big job in the entertainment field, not only completely retains the lineup of artists signed by Feitu before, but also signs more than a dozen newcomers in one go, and his ambitions are full.
Speaking of this, there is a person whose name has to be mentioned, and she is Huo Wenxi.
Long before Joey Yung joined Feitu Records, Huo Wenxi was already a senior agent of Feitu, and after Yang Shoucheng took over as the new boss, Huo Wenxi continued to be reused.
Under the umbrella of Emperor Entertainment at that time, there were several female artists of similar age to Joey Yung, among which the most popular were Ye Peiwen and He Jiali.

Ip Peiwen had just been accepted as an apprentice by Tetsuya Komuro, the godfather of Japanese music, a title that had garnered her a lot of attention, and Carrie Ho had debuted as a model in her early years and had the blessing of beauty, and her popularity was not a problem.
In comparison, Joey Yung is much inferior, but even so, Joey Yung has also made a rapid debut.
02, grew up in gossip, Joey Yung became a "topic actress"
According to the business strategy of the emperor at that time, Joey Yung visited rowan, a senior in the music industry, and Rowan took her to concerts and various performances to increase her exposure.
Although Rowan was already a big brother in the Hong Kong music scene at that time, the audience did not buy Joey Yung's account, and more than half a year later, Joey Yung was still tepid.

In 1999, Yang Shoucheng signed 18-year-old Zheng Xiyi in a talent show, so the outside world speculated that Zheng Xiyi might become the latest target of the emperor.
But everyone will not think that the unassuming Joey Yung finally "stood out" and became the "first sister of the Emperor", and even Ye Peiwen and He Jiali, who have always been more popular than her, have also become "cannon fodder", at this time, the rumors about Joey Yung's "competition for favors" have begun to stir.
This year, the Emperor produced the first EP "Joey" for Joey Yung, and with this EP Joey Yung won the Most Popular Newcomer Award, which was finally a bit of a achievement.
But at the same time, some negative voices attacking Joey Yung's appearance continued to appear, and the boss Yang Shou became the decision to send Joey Yung abroad for image transformation, which is said to cost up to one million Hong Kong dollars.
Three months later, Joey Yung returned to Hong Kong with a new image, the whole person looked beautiful and foreign, and it was also from this time that Yang Shoucheng began to frequently attend major occasions with Joey Yung, which further confirmed Joey Yung's title of "First Sister of the Emperor".

Soon, Joey Yung's second personal EP "Not To Be Missed" was officially released, the Emperor in order to create this EP can be described as a painstaking blood, not only specially invited well-known musicians to cover the songwriting, but also spent millions of dollars for Joey Yung to shoot a music MV, with the successful release of this new EP, Joey Yung began to be accepted by more and more fan listeners, especially her highly recognizable voice, adding a lot of points for her.
Seeing that Li Bon finally had some results, the Emperor decided to take advantage of the victory, so he made an album for Joey Yung, and also held a gimmicky charity theme concert for her in the Red Pavilion, under such a strong build, Joey Yung's popularity continued to rise, and the popularity remained high.

Just in this year, Joey Yung's home suddenly encountered a fire, followed by news that Yang Shou became the one who bought a mansion and gave it to Joey Yung as a new residence for her and her family, that is, from this time on, the "intimate scandal" about Joey Yung and Yang Shoucheng began to surface.
In February 2001, a Hong Kong artist named Leung Si-ho spoke on the show to allude to Yang Shoucheng's mother and daughter who had raised Rong Zu'er, and the show immediately attracted public opinion, and Joey Yung became the focus of attention at that time.
Another protagonist in public opinion, Yang Shoucheng, is said to be very upset after seeing the news, and a few days later Liang Sihao was taught a lesson by a number of strong men at the door of his home, and Liang Sihao did not call the police after being beaten, but personally went to the door to apologize to Joey Yung to ask for forgiveness.
Such an anti-human operation naturally gave the media at that time the opportunity to make a big fuss.

At this time, although Joey Yung was plagued by negative news, this did not affect the development of her acting career at all, and with the new selection disc "Like Zu'er" topped the highest-selling record of the year, the 21-year-old Joey Yung has left the female singer who debuted at the same time far behind.
In addition to releasing new records, Joey Yung also held her first ticket concert in the Red Pavilion, and even starred in 3 movies, which made her popularity peak.
But the phrase "people are not many" in the entertainment industry has never been just talk, Zeng Zhiwei, who has always been "big mouth", ridiculed Joey Yung as a "tooth sister" in the show, and as a result, the next day he was broken head and stitched dozens of stitches, and then Joey Yung was photographed by the media to appear at the police station to cooperate with the investigation, but in the end this matter was not resolved.
It is said that the person who beat Zeng Zhiwei was sent by Yang Shoucheng, and similar to the situation of Liang Sihao's beating not long ago, Yang Shoucheng was fighting for Rong Zu'er, even if he faced Zeng Zhiwei, the lesson was unambiguous.
After these two beatings, the outside world is more convinced of the rumors of an intimate relationship between Joey Yung and Yang Shoucheng, and the famous "Spring Roll Gate" has also appeared with the help of the media.
(Photo of Joey Yung with Zheng Xiyi, Yang Shoucheng and others)
Time back to 1999, when Yang Shoucheng was drinking with the big guys to increase the atmosphere, so Yang Shoucheng called two young female artists from his company, they were Joey Yung and Zheng Xiyi.
At that time, Yang Shoucheng let out a bold statement in front of the big guys: Whoever can clip the spring roll will be the queen of heaven! The final result was that Joey Yung won.
Although the "Spring Roll Gate" that happened that year can explain the reasons behind Joey Yung's sudden ascension to power, there is no conclusive evidence to prove the authenticity of the "Spring Roll Gate", so the whole thing is more like the malicious speculation of unscrupulous media in order to win the public's attention.
03, emotional life into a "mystery", Joey Yung eventually became a generation of divas
With the gradual improvement of Joey Yung's status in the Hong Kong music scene, her love life has also attracted much attention from the outside world.
No one would have thought that Joey Yung's first "boyfriend" who was positively exposed was Actually Hong Kong actress He Yunshi, and some media filmed the two behaving intimately and returning to the same residence together, making this "lace love" completely exposed.
Such a scandal was undoubtedly a fatal blow to Joey Yung, who was in the ascending period of his career, so the Emperor ordered Joey Yung to quickly cut off his love and return to his career.

I have to say that the emperor still has a clear grasp of which is light and heavy at the critical moment, and Joey Yung also knows how to see the situation clearly.
After the millennium, Faye Wong and Lin Yilian began to enter a semi-retired state, and another diva, Zheng Xiuwen, also turned to the film and television circle, at this time, the "Queen of Heaven" throne in the Hong Kong music scene is pending, which is a good opportunity for Joey Yung and the emperor behind it.
In 2003, Joey Yung swept the Hong Kong music scene with a Cantonese song "My Pride", winning high-quality awards such as the highest-selling record and the most popular female singer, and successfully crowned as a new generation of divas in the Hong Kong music scene.
For Joey Yung, after 7 years of debut, she finally ushered in her own Tianhou era.

The Chinese song "Girl With Wings", adapted from "My Pride", made Joey Yung fire from Hong Kong to the mainland, and also appeared on the big stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
With the rising value of the ship, Joey Yung was exposed by the media to earn hundreds of millions of yuan a year, becoming a veritable rich woman in the circle.
Joey Yung, whose career is so prosperous, her love life is inevitably placed in front of the public camera.
In August 2006, Joey Yung was suddenly exposed by the media about a new relationship, and the other party was Chen Fangteng, a Japanese overseas Chinese.
But the dog blood is that the next day Chen Fangteng and another actress concerned about Yan's date photos also came out, just when Chen Fangteng became the target of public criticism because of splitting legs, Joey Yung's former "gossip boyfriend" He Yunshi also inserted a bar, and Chen Fangteng launched a wonderful scolding war on the Internet.
(Joey Yung was photographed appearing with her Japanese boyfriend)
After more than a month of scolding, Chen Fangteng became a thing of the past, and He Yunshi and Joey Yun wore a couple bracelet at the award ceremony, making the "lace love" between the two once again become very popular.
Compared with the shocking vulgarity of "lace love", the "nude photos gate" incident that occurred soon after alarmed the entire Chinese entertainment circle, and Joey Yung, who belongs to the same company as Chen Guanxi, was also involved, and there were large-scale photos of Suspected Joey Yung himself on the Internet, which made people think of it.
However, it was later confirmed that those large-scale photos were just pictures that some people deliberately hyped and used computer synthesis, and Joey Yung escaped the disaster.
After the "nude photos gate", Joey Yung won the "Most Popular Female Singer of the Year" again, which is also the fifth consecutive year that she has won the award, and her "Queen of Heaven" status can not be shaken.
In the following years, Joey Yung put all her energy into her career, releasing new songs, opening concerts and filming movies, and her work schedule was arranged so densely that even her agent Huo Wenxi praised her as "the emperor's first labor model".
But Joey Yung, who has reached the age of a mature woman, has never talked about a serious relationship, which makes many fans wonder.
In 2012, the 32-year-old Joey Yung took the initiative to announce a new relationship for the first time, against Hong Kong male artist Liu Haolong.
In addition to the shocking new love, there is also the identity of Liu Haolong that is also unexpected by many people.
Although Liu Haolong has been debuting for more than ten years, he has not been on fire, and the ranking in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is going to be seventeen or eighteen, which is far from Joey Yung's title of "Queen of Heaven".

This mismatched status relationship was not only unanimously sung by media netizens, but even Joey Yung's mother also said that she was not optimistic, she believed that Liu Haolong was not worthy of her daughter at all.
But even if everyone around him is opposed, But Joey Yung still fell in love with Liu Haolong and lived together without hesitation, and during that time, the love information about the two people said that every few days would be on the hot search headlines.
Since 2015, Joey Yung has begun to shift the focus of her work to the mainland, but her relationship with Liu Haolong is still very sweet, and there have been repeated news of their marriages.
Just when the outside world thought that Rong Zu'er and Liu Haolong might enter the marriage hall, the news of the two breaking up suddenly came out, which can be said to have broken through everyone's glasses.
For the reasons for the breakup, Joey Yung and Liu Haolong did not stand up to respond, but each quickly began a new chapter.
Not long after breaking up with Liu Haolong, the relationship between Joey Yung and the second generation of the rich Yang Zhenglong was quickly exposed, and the reason why the media moved so quickly was because of the special background of Yang Zhenglong's identity, because his father was the head of the emperor - Yang Shoucheng.

This new relationship attracted the attention of countless people after it was exposed, when some Hong Kong media described this relationship as "fat water does not flow to outsiders", and also turned out many "old things" between Joey Yung and Yang Shoucheng, which pushed Joey Yung and Yang Shoucheng father and son into an extremely embarrassing situation, perhaps to avoid suspicion, and it did not take long for Joey Yung to return to singleness.
04, "Sister Lang returned" Joey Yung, is still the king on the stage
Although she has experienced several closely watched relationships, Joey Yung's career has not been shelved, and she is known as the "last diva of the Hong Kong music scene", and she also has an extremely large fan base and unimaginable popularity in the mainland.
(Joey Yung appeared on the stage of "Sister Lang 2")
In January this year, Joey Yung and 29 other "sisters" jointly appeared on the stage of the popular variety show "Sister Lang 2", in this variety show based on singing and dancing, Joey Yung not only fully demonstrated her singing and dancing advantages, but also successfully circled a wave of new fans because of her good personality, and was praised by the media audience for her strength and still charming.

The "ugly duckling" who was not optimistic at that time is now a queen of honors, and this road is not smooth for Joey Yung.
Some people attribute Joey Yung's success to the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, but these people ignore one of the most important problems: in the great entertainment industry, there is no shortage of artists with backgrounds and connections, but how many people can be fired by background connections alone?
Compared with these, what is more important is that the artists themselves must have sufficient strength and perseverance.
The unique voice is the fundamental strength of Joey Yung's music scene, and the working attitude of creating a "100% attendance" since her debut is the magic weapon for Joey Yung to win the title of "Queen of Heaven".
Joey Yung's fame experience also tells us: there is no shortcut to success, and only by making every effort can we harvest the life we want.
