"Why do you still like me, I am such a scoundrel, you are stupid, or very great, everyone in this room will step on me, how bad the reputation is, but you will never be strange ..."
Creator Li Junyi once said that "Rogue" is just his personal confession.
The lyrics contain both the helplessness and self-deprecation of the little people, as well as the apologies and guilt of their girlfriends.
Drunk, love freedom, often make mistakes, love to lie, will feel guilty, greedy for the new and tired of the old, afraid of marriage, can't bear it...
But this song is more like a tailor-made for Zheng Zhongji.
Perhaps empathy, or talent, coupled with his highly recognizable voice, each lyric is given a different flavor.
Whether it is debauchery or affectionate money, some people successfully proposed marriage through a "rogue" in those years, accompanied by familiar lyrics and melodies, and listened to red eyes.
Someone beat Eason Chan at that award ceremony and won the prize.
Since then, it has had a place in the Hong Kong music scene, and has also been labeled as the "successor of the god of song".
But what is incomprehensible is that he can obviously become the next "Jacky Cheung", but he is going to be "Zhou Xingchi"!?
Is it hard to achieve because he has a great father?
Because you have a background, you are arrogant and unrestrained to love freedom?
First, back to dad, all the way to hang
On March 9, 1972, Zheng Zhongji was born in Hsinchu, Taiwan, with a "golden spoon".
On that day, most of the Hong Kong entertainment circles sent their blessings, and even Teresa Teng was one of them.
Why? It's not because he has a big dad —
Zheng Donghan, when he was young, formed a band with Teddy Robin and became popular throughout Hong Kong with a guitar.
Having accumulated enough popularity and fame, he moved from the front of the stage to the backstage at a young age.
Zheng Donghan, 24, became the general manager of PolyGram Records.
After that, he not only became the president of PolyGram Asia.
In its heyday, he single-handedly won most of the big names such as Teresa Teng, Cheung Kwok-wing, Jacky Cheung, Tam Wing Lin, Beyond, Andy Lau, Li Ming, and Faye Wong.
In the Hong Kong entertainment industry, the status of Zheng Donghan can be imagined.
To say that he is the "godfather of the music world" is by no means an exaggeration.
His father has such an identity and such strength, which also makes Zheng Zhongji destined to be extraordinary from the beginning of his arrival in this world.
When other people's children are still admiring and worshiping various stars across the TV screen, Zheng Zhongji has long been in harmony with these male gods and goddesses.
Unique conditions allowed him to follow his father to the recording studio since he was a child, and the albums of Jacky Cheung, Tan Yonglin, Chen Huixian and other singers sang harmony.
His first experience of harmony was dedicated to Jacky Cheung's "Qu To Disease".
At the age of 23, Zheng Zhongji and Jacky Cheung studied art together, and under the recommendation of Ou Dingyu, Zheng Zhongji gave his recording Demo to some producers to audition.
Soon after, his vicissitudes and thick voice line successfully attracted the attention of the "music poet" Zhou Zhiping.
In this way, Zheng Zhongji became his signed artist.
After a series of professional and systematic training, Zheng Zhongji released his first Chinese album "Left and Right" a year later, with Zhou Zhiping as the producer, but also Jacky Cheung and his singing of the main song.
It also includes his compositional debut, Like a Song.
As soon as it debuted, it was such a luxurious configuration that I didn't dare to think about it on other people.
But for the "Prince of the Hong Kong Circle", this is just the beginning!
In the next few years, Zheng Zhongji successively launched "Deep Love" and "Never Mention It!" Albums such as Love You" and "Quit Lover", "I Really Can" and so on.
He also sold his first song , Sleepwalking , written for another singer , which was included on his second Chinese album Don't Love Me.
During this period, he sang "Making Romance" with Chen Huilin, and sang "A B And B Ding" with Xu Zhi'an and Jacky Cheung.
In just a few years, Zheng Zhongji has become a hot singer in the Hong Kong music scene, with a popular melody, soulful and moving lyrics, and one love song after another, poking at the soft underbelly of the hearts of obsessive men and women.
It also made him the "successor of the god of song" in other people.
In 2005, a song "Rogue" allowed Cheng Chung-ki to beat Eason Chan and sweep the major awards in the Chinese music scene.
At the same time as his music career reached another peak, he also became a well-deserved king of golden songs.
It can be seen that Zheng Zhongji did inherit his father's musical talent.
His natural good voice and uninhibited temperament have allowed him to harvest a lot of popularity and lay a solid position in the music world.
The treatment of the moon from the small stars has also become his wayward capital.
Second, the rogue of the rogue?
Although Zheng Zhongji looks ordinary, he is humorous and sweet-mouthed, and a few words can make girls laugh.
In addition, he is rich and talented, and there is never a shortage of girls around him who go forward and succeed him, a typical peach blossom physique.
Whether it is a career or a love path, it seems that Zheng Zhongji has never been hindered.
The fundamental is to get the wind and the rain to get the rain.
Over time, something like this is sure to go wrong.
In 1997, some media exposed that Zheng Zhongji and the female assistant were in love, and even after the woman became pregnant, he used a million breakup fees to let her beat the fetus.
Two years later, Zheng Zhongji met Miriam Yang at a party.
After that, he began to chase and fight.
At that time, Miriam Yang was still just a newcomer singer, and she was afraid of bringing bad influence to Zheng Zhongji's pursuit, so she resolutely refused at first.
Who would have thought that Zheng Zhongji would write a song named after her birthday to boldly show love.
"Your birthday, announce to the whole world, that you are my queen."
Such a naked confession, which girl can stand it?
Beauty eventually surrendered, and the two established a romantic relationship.
After the public, the two did not plan to hide, go shopping together, go on the show together, and blatantly sprinkle sugar to show affection.
The host's title of Yang Qianwei also naturally became sister-in-law.
What is even more unexpected is that after only four months of sweetness, Zheng Zhongji was unilaterally announced to break up.
And it was only after reading the news in the newspaper that I learned the news.
As for the reasons for this, it probably comes down to his difficult nature?
Yes, during the period of his relationship with Yang Qianwei, his gossip and gossip have never stopped.
According to Hong Kong media reports, the two have been together for less than a month, and Zheng Zhongji has empathized with cecilia Cheung.
Paper can't cover the fire at all, not to mention men and women in the hot love period, a little bit of wind and grass must be more sensitive.
At that time, it was reported that Yang Qianwei was very dissatisfied with this matter, and the two frequently quarreled, but they refused to give in one step.
In the end, it can only end in this way.
After the breakup, Miriam Yang was not happy, and always asked friends to go out to borrow wine to dispel their sorrows.
Once, after finishing work, she walked into Huang Weiwen's nightclub where he drank and ordered 8 cups of Long Island iced tea in a row.
After that, there was the song "Unfortunately I Am an Aquarius" written by Huang Weiwen specifically for her, and there was also the sentence "If I go back, there is no painkiller, take long island iced tea in exchange for me to sleep half a night." ”
Even if it is difficult to be peaceful, it can not withstand the reality after all, and Zheng Zhongji has become the only ex-boyfriend that Yang Qianwei has publicly admitted.
So, in the days when Yang Qianwei bought drunk for love and washed her face with tears, what was Zheng Zhongji doing?
In 2000, Zheng Zhongji was on a plane from Los Angeles to Taipei, first drinking illegally, and then he was found to be making a big fuss in the cabin. Pulling the stewardess's hair, punching the foreign passenger next door, holding the co-pilot's neck with his hand...
The scene was chaotic, and finally the plane had to land at the Alaska airport.
As a result, he was arrested on two counts of assault and harassment as soon as he got off the plane, fined $2,500, and retained the case.
Such a bad behavior, coupled with the wanton media reports, Zheng Zhongji can be said to have lost his wife and folded his soldiers.
Not only was his image greatly damaged, his career plummeted, and his father also released harsh words, letting him find a way to find a way.
After this encounter, the brother who was once high and arrogant could only put down his body and start from the beginning.
Third, the "Prince Base" fell into disgrace and bravely broke into the film and television circle
After that, Zheng Zhongji had to give up his music career and turn around and enter the film and television circle.
Looking at the face of Zheng Donghan, Liu Weiqiang plans to give him a chance to participate in his own directed "Love Jun Like a Dream" and "The Mystery of Immortal Love".
However, at this time, Zheng Zhongji still did not understand his situation.
Letting go of the hard-won opportunity is not cherished, and on the first day of the construction of "Love Jun Like a Dream", he boldly arrived late.
Why? Because he drunk and hit someone, he went to court.
Fortunately, in 2003, his comedy "Luck Superman" with Leung Chao-wai and Miriam Yeung did well, which also allowed him to nominate for the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 23rd Hong Kong Film Awards.
Since then, Zheng Zhongji has gained a new understanding of his positioning and direction.
He began to go back and forth on the path of nonsense films.
After that, he starred in many Hong Kong-style comedies such as "Dragon Mo wei", "I want to make a model", "Himalayan star", "Supreme Rogue" and so on.
His expression is exaggerated, his shape is funny, and he interprets "cheap" and "ugly" to the fullest, and in different films, different "rogue" dramas are staged.
Once the "king of the music world", it is now crowned the title of "king of bad films".
Fortunately, in countless crazy performances of pretending to be crazy and selling stupidity, Zheng Zhongji can also be regarded as honing his acting skills.
In 2007, Zheng Zhongji played his son "Xiaogang" in "The Legend of Old Port", a young man who was born deficient, but repeatedly defeated and frustrated.
As the saying goes: "The core of comedy is tragedy".
Under the interpretation of Zheng Zhongji, the story of this ordinary little person is joyful but heartfelt, poking the audience with tears.
For this role, he was again nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
In 2013, with "Pulp Comedy", he finally won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, which also means that he was kicked out of the music scene, with his acting skills and strength, he once again found a sense of belonging in the film and television circle and was recognized.
It is lamentable that it was his old lover Yang Qianwei who presented him the award that day.
After ups and downs, Zheng Zhongji stood on the stage holding the trophy and sighed: "Mr. Andy Lau told me that the prodigal son will not change his head. ”
Fourth, the prodigal son turned back?
In 2004, he became acquainted with Asa for co-starring in the movie "Chasing August 15".
The two did not have a public relationship, even if a year later, it was exposed by the Hong Kong media that they were wearing the same pendant, and they still did not mention the relationship.
At the award ceremony of the 2006 Jinge Golden Melody, when Andy Lau coaxed him to get married quickly, the response he got was that Zheng Zhongji said with an embarrassed face that he was not married.
Then interviewed Asa behind him, she also said that she only hoped to get married again at the age of 32.
A year later, Hong Kong media again reported that Zheng Zhongji was too addicted to nightclubs, which led to Choi Cheuk-yeon breaking up with him.
However, the rumors of these divisions and mergers are not empty.
However, the two have never been made public.
Until March 27, 2010, the two held a temporary press conference at the Hong Kong Nine Exhibition, admitting that they had registered their marriage in the United States four years ago, and had decided to divorce and were in the process of going through the relevant procedures.
As for the reasons for this, it must be all kinds of speculation and various versions.
Some people say that because Zheng Zhong's basic sex is difficult to move, no woman can stand her husband's half-heartedness.
Some people say that at that time, Asa was in an ascendant period, unable to give up her career for the sake of this marriage, and willingly became a housewife.
Others pointed out that Angelababy was the root cause of their divorce...
But at the reception site, Zheng Zhongji burst into tears, and Asa couldn't cry.
They said that they had truly loved each other and had spent a happy time together, there was no third party, but they did not match each other's personalities, because they knew each other too well, they could only break up.
Half a year later, Zheng Zhongji and Yu Simin, the first generation of cable anchors, came together.
On July 12, 2011, Yu Simin gave birth to a daughter for him, and the two officially entered the marriage hall.
But at this time, it was only a short year from the scene of the divorce that was crying a lot.
Whoever has seen it cannot doubt that this will not be another "rogue" trick?
But surprisingly, after this, the legendary "prodigal son's return" seems to be really playing out on Zheng Zhongji.
It is probably the joy of becoming a new father that makes him realize the difficulty of his father and establishes the responsibility and responsibility of being a man for him.
I have to say that after marrying Yu Simin, Zheng Zhongji is a lot of convergence.
At his own concert, he brought his wife and a pair of children to attend, a happy scene of happiness.
Usually, I will go to the supermarket with my wife to buy, but as a public figure, I can only cover myself tightly and then go out.
In January 2017, Zheng Zhongji invited Miriam Yang to his concert, and as the finale, the two sang a song "Making Romance".
At the end of the song, Zheng Zhongji bowed to her to express his gratitude, and Yang Qianwei asked him: "I want to know how you are so bold and dare to invite me, you used such a big love card, how do you plan to pay it back?" ”
Zheng Zhongji, who has always been unruly, stuttered a little at this time: "I, I think I will pay it back." ”
At that moment, the two people on the stage were no longer the same young people as they were.
They had gone their separate ways to happiness, and it was their most important family members sitting in the audience at this time.
I don't know when it started, maybe it was a certain time node, maybe it was just imperceptible, the past, the love and hate that had been, seemed to have disappeared.
Presumably this is what is called "when love is a thing of the past."
As Zheng Zhongji sang affectionately in "Rogue": "I am drunk occasionally, like freedom, often make mistakes and love to lie, but I always feel guilty, I have met many friends who have lost friends, I have learned to be greedy for the new and tired of the old, and I have owed a lot of women." ”
Word by word, it is clear that it is a true portrayal of the first half of his life.
And the phrase "the prodigal son turns back" is never because of how many emotions they have experienced, never because of that particular woman.
However, in the fall apart again and again, they found their truest selves, learned to face, and learned how to love.
