This is the darkest era of the Hong Kong music scene, singers have been forced to retire from various shady scenes, and Chan Huixian, who sang "A Thousand And One Songs", is one of them.
In 1989, Chen Huixian's record sales far exceeded that of Mui Yanfang, who was known as the "daughter of Hong Kong", but this year's Golden Melody Award was still awarded to Mui Yanfang, allowing Chen Huixian to miss the Golden Melody Award again.
This year, Japanese singer Makoto Kondo released a new song "Sunset Song", Chen Huixian listened to the melody of this song several times on the recommendation of friends, and became fascinated by the melody of this song, so she planned to buy the copyright and launch a Chinese version.
But at this time, the copyright of this song, in the hands of Mei Yanfang's agent Chen Shufen, with her competitive relationship with Mei Yanfang, it is estimated that it is difficult to get a bargain from Chen Shufen, so he had to ask his boyfriend Ou Dingyu to let him buy the copyright of "Sunset Song".
Ou Dingyu is a well-known music director in Hong Kong, and with his help, Chen Huixian finally got the copyright of "Sunset Song", and after re-singing with filler words, the sensational "Song of a Thousand and Thousand Que" in the Chinese music circle came into being.
However, just as Chen Huixian was preparing to sing, Chen Shufen suddenly came to the door. It turned out that she had just sold the copyright to Ou Dingyu on the same day, and Mei Yanfang suddenly said that she also wanted to adapt "Song of the Sunset".
In order to maximize the profits, Chen Shufen specifically warned Chen Huixian and asked her to sing after Mei Yanfang.
However, after the release of the two songs one after another, the result was unexpected by everyone. Although Mei Yanfang has the advantage of the first hand, Chen Huixian's version is obviously more popular with the public.
In the end, Chen Huixian's "Song of a Thousand And a Thousand Que" sold 350,000 copies, while Mei Yanfang's "Song of the Sunset" only sold 200,000 copies, almost double the difference.
Soon after, the Golden Melody Awards were held as scheduled, and Chen Huixian and Mei Yanfang were both shortlisted for the "Most Popular Female Singer".
If you look at record sales, Chan is undoubtedly the winner. Who expected that on the day of the award ceremony, the Golden Melody Award actually fell into the hands of Mei Yanfang.
This result made Chen Huixian completely despair of the Hong Kong music scene, and she was disheartened and hurried to start preparing for the farewell concert.
From August 28 to September 2, 1989, Chen Huixian held six consecutive "Goodbye when" concerts in the Red Pavilion, which was her first solo concert, but it was also her farewell concert.
At the concert, she told the fans on the stage that she was ready to study in the United States and officially quit the music scene.
Fortunately, three years later, Chen Huixian returned from studying abroad, and she still couldn't let go of her love for music, so she announced that she would return to the music scene and bring the well-known "Drifting Snow" and "Black Tea House".
However, her and Mei Yanfang's "Queen of Heaven dispute" will never have results. Do you know why?
