Huang Xia's ten masterpieces said that "Shanghai Beach" was not on the list, and "Laughing at the Wind and Clouds" was at the end
In the Hong Kong music scene, there was once such a number one person, who had a lofty status in the entertainment industry, and could joke with his peers and juniors on the show, and could scold Jackie Chan, and scare Andy Lau, criticize Jay Chou, and satirize TWINS.
He is not a great hero but has a true color, he is a real celebrity with his own style, he is one of the "Four Talents of Xiangjiang", one of the "Three Masters of the Word World" in the Chinese music scene, a lifelong gentleman, a true temperament and unpretentious "Uncle Xia" - Huang Xia.
Uncle Xia has been dead for nearly 20 years, but there are always a few songs of Uncle Xia flowing in the hearts of fans, and when you look back at Hong Kong dramas and Hong Kong films, chasing Hong Kong stars and stars, there are always "Yellow Xia Elements" to fill the memory.
Uncle Xia's life is relatively prolific, personal lyrics of the song is close to 2,000, fans are familiar with more than 100 works, in the Hong Kong music scene, Huang Xia and Gu Jiahui and called "Hui Huang Ersheng", Huang Xia's lyrics, Gu Jiahui's words are the guarantee of classics. In addition to composing lyrics, in fact, Uncle Xia's achievements in composition are not low.
Today, 10 well-known songs from Huang Xia's musical works are selected to pay tribute to the Hong Kong songwriters who have passed away.
10. "Laughing at the Wind and Clouds" Zheng Shaoqiu, 1994
"Laughing at the Wind and Clouds" can be regarded as a fine work in Uncle Xia's later works. In 1994, a classic Hong Kong drama "Laughing at the Wind and Clouds", Zheng Shaoqiu was still calm and relaxed, and Qiu Guan, who was good at singing the theme song of the TV series, naturally held the singing rights of the theme song of the same name "Laughing at the Wind and Clouds" firmly in his hands.
In 1978, Hui Huang Ersheng composed the classic Cantonese song "Oath to Enter the Knife Mountain" for Qiu Guan. 16 years later, "Laughing at the Wind and Clouds" composed by Huang Xia and sung by Zheng Shaoqiu is still a classic in Cantonese songs. Uncle Xia's words are plain and easy to understand, straight to the chest, but they are not dashing!
9. "Flying Lights" Chen Shuhua, 1993
In 1993, in the film "Green Snake" directed by Xu Ke, in addition to being picky about the casting, Xu Laowei strived for perfection in every detail of the film. He designated Chen Shuhua to sing the theme song, and he designated Huang Xia to compose the theme song, and they were all doubled, and each in Cantonese had a single version.
Huang Xia's lyrics, Chen Shuhua's divine singing, make the song "Streamer Flying" a beautiful melody in Xu Ke's martial arts jianghu.
8. "The Long Road Is Long and Easy for Me to Break Through" Lin Zixiang, 1992
The song "Long Road Long Run By Me" is the theme song of Zhou Xingchi's martial arts movie "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", and Zhou Xingchi Zhang Min, Hui Huang Ersheng and Lin Zixiang are the hidden information behind this song.
Huang Xia's words, heroic atmosphere, and freeness, with Gu Jiahui's song and the majestic strength of "Ge Yin" Lin Zixiang, make fans and movie fans feel value-added.
7. "Boys Should Strengthen Themselves", Lin Zixiang, 1991
In the 80s and 90s of Xu Ke's films, almost where there was Xu Ke, there was Huang Xia's figure, because Xu Ke's films, especially martial arts movies, Huang Xia's Chinese style songs added a lot to the movie.
The song "Boy When Self-Improvement" is the theme song of the first two parts of the movie "Huang Feihong" series, in order to match the martial arts style of the movie and inherit the great righteousness of traditional Chinese studies, Huang Xia drew inspiration from the ancient song "General Order" to create the song, designated Lin Zixiang to complete the singing, singing, Uncle Xia "hummed" at the right time, making the mood of the song more beautiful.
6. "A Laugh in the Sea" Xu Guanjie and Huang Xia, 1990
Some people say that this song is almost equivalent to "Laughing Proud of the Jianghu", and Mr. Jin Yong's big IP martial arts masterpiece "Laughing Proud of the Jianghu" has no less than 10 superimposed film and television versions, and nearly 20 derivative songs.
It is said that director Xu Ke changed Huang Xia's "A Laugh in the Sea" as many as 6 times before the final product, this song composed by Huang Xia, whether it is Xu Guanjie, Ren Xianqi or Xu Ke Huang Xia singing, are all enduring.
5. "The Love of the Year", Zhang Guorong, 1986
Zhang Guorong, the absolute superstar of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, has a lofty position in the music scene, and there are many classic songs that have been popular all his life.
If you ask which song can represent his highest achievement in film songs, I believe that rong fans will have a hard time choosing between "The Year of Love" and "Ghost of Qiannu".
Although both songs are from Huang Xia, but on the degree of classicity, perhaps the weight of "The Year of Love" is heavier, the melody of this song, the violent aesthetics of Wu Yusen, the brotherhood of Dillon, Zhou Runfa and Zhang Guorong, and the most beautiful and pure era of Hong Kong films will emerge in the mind.
4. "Hello in the World", Rowan and Zhen Ni, 1983
The 83rd edition of "The Legend of the Archery Hero" is a classic version that cannot be replaced in the hearts of many Jin Yong fans and archery fans, in addition to the casting and plot aspects of the TV series that fit the original work, the theme song and interlude of the TV series are also unforgettable memories of the years.
"A Lifetime of Meaning" and "Hello in the World" are both demonstrations of Hui Huang Ersheng's creative ability, supplemented by the combination of Luo Wen and Zhen Ni, and the charm of classic Cantonese songs is intoxicating.
3. "My Chinese Heart" Zhang Mingmin, 1983
Among the songs that express national complexes and highlight patriotic sentiments, the song "My Chinese Heart" must be indispensable.
This masterpiece by Zhang Mingmin was released in 1983, and he has been invited to sing the song on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala several times.
The emotions that the song wants to express are straightforward but sensational, and Huang Xia's words are like this, simple but sincere, condensed but all-encompassing.
2. "Two Forgotten Smoke and Water" Guan Zhengjie, Guan Juying, 1981
In the 1982 TV series "Smiling Proud of the Rivers and Lakes", Hui Huang Ersheng composed the theme songs "Two Forgotten Smoke and Water" and "Ten Thousand Waters and Thousand Mountains" for the play, "Ten Thousand Waters and Thousand Mountains" was sung by Hong Kong palace singer Guan Zhengjie, and "Two Forgotten Smoke and Water" was sung by him and Guan Juying.
Huang Xia, who is accustomed to writing about great love and great love, is unambiguous in describing the lingering love and love, and the words "Two Forgotten Smoke and Water" are you nong and me, romantic and warm.
1. "Under the Lion Rock", Rowan, 1979
Hui Huang Er Sheng + Rowan is a well-known "Iron Triangle" in the Hong Kong music scene, and the most exquisite works of Hui Huang Er Sheng are almost all given to Rowan.
Rowan has many masterpieces, but the most famous is his 1979 song "Under the Lion Rock", a song known as the "Hong Kong City Song", which represents the spiritual attributes of hard-working Hong Kong citizens.
The importance of the song "Under the Lion Rock" to the Hong Kong music scene need not be repeated, and this song also encourages Huang Xia's confidence in insisting on the development of the Hong Kong lexicon.
There are many more representative works of Huang Xia, because of cognition and personal preference, these 10 songs are temporarily selected as personal nostalgia for Uncle Xia, and sent to fans who like Huang Xia and like classic Hong Kong music.
