The 80s and 90s were the peak of the Cantonese music scene, and many classic Cantonese songs are still sung today, who wouldn't hum a sentence or two when they were young? At that time, Zhang Guorong was still there, his popularity was like the sun in the sky, and the "Tan Zhang Dispute" with Tan Yonglin was a sensation, which triggered a fan war.
At the same time, the same situation has emerged on the female singer's side. A song of "A Thousand And a Thousand Que Songs", a "Song of the Sunset", the honor of a "most popular female singer", coupled with the open and secret struggle in the Hong Kong music scene, eventually triggered a controversial "Thousand Nights Dispute", which made "Hong Kong Music Princess" Chen Huixian bid farewell to the song world, and "Daughter of Hong Kong" Mui Yanfang announced that she would not accept the award again.
What the hell is going on? Where has Chen Huixian gone since then? What happened?
Three boyfriends, emotional ups and downs
On May 8, Chen Huixian posted a rare video on Weibo with an accompanying article praising her friend Li Keqin as a "walking CD." It turned out that it was Li Keqin who covered her masterpiece "Silly Girl" in a music program.
In fact, "Silly Girl" is a true portrayal of Chen Huixian's emotional life, she once had three well-known relationships, but in the end they all ended in failure.
In 2002, Chen Huixian broke up with her image consultant Zhang Zhuowen to end an 8-year bitter love, although Chen Huixian did not specifically tell the reason for the breakup, but fans know that she paid too much in this relationship, after all, not all women can talk about up to 8 years of love.
Zhang Zhuowen is an extremely self-centered man, which causes Chen Huixian to always accommodate him in her feelings, "I thought I could cure him, but I failed." ”
This is Chen Huixian's answer to the breakup, and it seems that she has been hurt a lot.
The failure of feelings made her delicate in her mind fall into emotions, coupled with the suspension of her career, the popularity of the past, etc., Chen Huixian unfortunately suffered from anxiety.
In the process of treatment, Chen Huixian began to overeat because of the effect of drugs, not only the mental state was on the verge of collapse, the body also collapsed, for a time, everyone began to worry about her physical condition, hoping that she would cheer up.
Fortunately, in the end, Chen Huixian resumed her normal diet with the help of her friends, and her anxiety disorder was alleviated. It is worth mentioning that in the process of seeking medical treatment, Chen Huixian met Xie Guolin, a former middle school classmate and now a doctor.
Xie Guolin fell in love with Chen Huixian in middle school, but has always buried this feeling in his heart, the fate is so wonderful, they met again, he decided to pursue Chen Huixian, Chen Huixian was also in a period of emotional scarcity, Xie Guolin's sincere confession made her moved, agreed to communicate, the two have been in a relationship for 4 years, and have been in a good relationship.
Chen Huixian also publicly stated at the concert that she wanted to grow old with this man. Unfortunately, she met someone unladylike, and this man finally failed to live up to her expectations and chose to betray love.
In 2007, Xie Guolin was arrested for cheating on a nurse, the media reported it, photos flew all over the sky, and Chen Huixian had to respond to the matter. Even if the boyfriend cheats, Chen Huixian is not willing to say that he is not good in front of everyone, she told the media that she and Xie Guolin have broken up, and the reason for the breakup is not who cheated, but the difference in thinking and concept between the two.
Not many people believe this statement, but Chen Huixian still gave her ex-boyfriend enough decency.
It is said that the two originally lived together in the apartment under Chen Huixian's name, and Chen Huixian also allowed Xie Guolin to find a house before moving out.
This move, some people think that Chen Huixian is atmospheric, not to worry about the ex-boyfriend, and some people think that this is Xie Guolin is not worth Chen Huixian's waste of feelings, after all, she has had a "true love", maybe that person is Chen Huixian's love in this life, and other people are just going to do it.
Why? Because this man is Chen Huixian's first love boyfriend and his music director Ou Dingyu.
In 1985, as a newcomer singer, Chen Huixian and Ou Dingyu met, Chen Huixian looked sweet and her singing voice was even more charming, so that the music director Ou Dingyu admired Chen Huixian in addition to appreciation.
Although the difference between the two is 8 years old, but in the musical opinions but there are many commonalities, in the process of getting along, Ou Dingyu always like a big brother to take care of Chen Huixian's little sister, full of preference for Chen Huixian, others look in the eyes, who does not know ou Dingyu's feelings, not to mention that Ou Dingyu also tailored for Chen Huixian including "Dancing Machine", "Silly Girl" and other popular songs, so that Chen Huixian became a hit, known as the Princess of Hong Kong.
On the date of the explosion, Chen Huixian chose an Ou Dingyu to be together, and the two were rumored to be good stories at the time. Ou Dingyu is very affectionate, during the love period with Chen Huixian, not only supported Chen Huixian in her career, but also tried her best to do her in life, which can be called "perfect boyfriend". Even when Chen Huixian chose to study abroad during the most prosperous period of her career, he supported and comforted her in the days before she left for the United States.
However, no amount of deep affection can withstand a long-term long-distance relationship. Before leaving, the two also told each other their heartfelt hearts, the two will never change their hearts when they meet, and their feelings will never deteriorate because of a different place.
Ou Dingyu took Chen Huixian's hand and couldn't stop nagging, all of which were precautions for some small things, as if he was deeply afraid that Chen Huixian would not do anything, and Chen Huixian was also full of tears and clinging to it. At this time, neither of them knows that this parting, the next time is the most familiar stranger.
After going to the United States, Chen Huixian was busy with her studies and always had no time to call. Originally, it had always been a phone call from Ou Dingyu, but after a while, Ou Dingyu also began to get busy, and the two often agreed to call, but they were always delayed by temporary things. After a long time, both people are a little tired,
At this moment, Ou Dingyu called and proposed marriage to Chen Huixian. Ou Dingyu's eldest Chen Huixian is 8 years old, and he has long reached the age of talking about marriage, and he is willing to wait for Chen Huixian all the time, also because he has always regarded her as the person he will accompany for a lifetime in the future.
However, when Ou Dingyu proposed to get married, Chen Huixian refused, and she also knew that there was something wrong with the relationship between the two people, but she did not want to use marriage to solve the problem. On the phone, the two people broke up unhappily and proposed to break up.
Not long after, ou Dingyu's side came again, but it was the good news of the imminent marriage. The wife that Ou Dingyu married was similar to Chen Huixian by seven or eight points, and many people joked that Ou Dingyu loved deeply, and looked for a wife according to Chen Huixian's appearance.
However, the wood has become a boat, no matter how many sea oath mountain alliances the two have ever had, it has ended at this point.
The last contact between the two was at Chen Huixian's concert, when Chen Huixian came back, Ou Dingyu appeared at the concert to accompany her in order to help her, and Chen Huixian also sang a song "Later" for the former lover to express her feelings. It is an apology for the waywardness of the past, a proof of love and a belated blessing.
"Battle of a Thousand Nights" with Mei Yanfang
In fact, going to the United States to study is a very important professional point in Chen Huixian's life, whether it is emotional life or music career.
Before studying abroad, Chen Huixian debuted at the age of 18, and later became popular with songs such as "Change and Change", "Silly Girl", and the image of "pure girl" was sought after by many young boys and girls, and she was also the first Hong Kong female singer to open a singing in the mainland. In the 1988 Award for Female Singer in the Music Scene, Mui Yanfang won the Gold Award, she was the Silver Award, and Lin Yilian was the Bronze Award.
Being able to compete with Mui Yanfang, known as the "daughter of Hong Kong", Chen Huixian was in the limelight for a while and became the biggest rival of the eldest sister, Mei Yanfang, in the music world. With the passage of time, this competitive situation not only did not disappear but intensified, and finally broke out in full swing in 1989, triggering the "Thousand Nights Dispute" that shocked the music scene.
The cause of the incident was the "Sunset Song" sung by Japanese singer Makoto Kondo, when Mei Yanfang had a relationship with her, although the relationship ended in failure, but Mei Yanfang's agent bought the copyright of this song at that time with a unique vision.
At that time, Chen Huixian heard the Japanese version of "Sunset Song" from her friend Huang Xiajun, and she liked it, so she asked her boyfriend at the time, Ou Dingyu, to solve the copyright problem, because she and Mei Yanfang were in a competitive relationship at that time, so it was not easy to get authorization from Chen Shufen, who was still Mei Yanfang's agent.
In the end, through Ou Dingyu's relationship, Chen Huixian got the authorization of the song and began to work on the adaptation.
However, at this time, Mei Yanfang also proposed to Chen Shufang that she wanted to cover this song, and Mei Yanfang has always liked this song, and just happened to release an album, so she found Chen Shufang. However, she learned from Chen Shufang that Chen Huixian was also going to sing this song, and for a time, Chen Shufang was in a dilemma.
After all, it is her own artist, Chen Shufang still has a preference, so for Mei Yanfang, Chen Shufang specifically asked Chen Huixian to adjust the release time of the song to Mei Yanfang, and set a fixed release date. Chen Shufang's copyright is in hand, chen Huixian has no choice but to compromise.
However, when Chen Huixian released "A Thousand And One Songs", There was no news of Mei Yanfang releasing songs. It is said that after Mei Yanfang heard about Chen Shufang's request, she always objected, and finally the company compromised, so that "Song of the Sunset" was released a week after the release of Chen Huixian's "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que".
Since it is all a song melody, it is inevitable to make a comparison. Chen Huixian's "Song of a Thousand Thousand Ques" occupies the advantage of being the first to start, with a circulation of 350,000 copies, while Mei Yanfang's "Song of the Sunset" is also good, but it is far less than "A Thousand And a Thousand Songs", with nearly 200,000 copies.
That year, at the 7th Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, clear-eyed people knew that this competition was Mei Yanfang's defeat, and "A Thousand And One Songs" should be the final winner. However, when the host announced that the winner of this year's "Most Popular Female Singer" was Mei Yanfang, there was an uproar. After that, the winner of the "Golden Melody Award" was also Mei Yanfang. At this moment, the crowd began to be overwhelmed and talked about it offstage.
It is said that a big reason for the upset of the award is the entanglement of Guan Wei, the general manager of Polygram, in TVB, TVB wants to be willful under the breath, Poly Gold is Chen Huixian's company, Chen Huixian naturally can not win the award.
Mei Yanfang can also be regarded as a coincidence, but also the fire at the city gate and the pond fish.
That is, this year, Chen Huixian, who left the scene in disgrace, was angry, and under the youthful madness, she announced her withdrawal from the music scene at the farewell concert at the end of the year, and took "A Thousand and One Songs" as the last farewell song, and shed tears on the spot.
Mei Yanfang was also affected by this incident and vowed never to participate in any award ceremony again. It is worth mentioning that Zhang Guorong also sang this "Thousand and Thousand Songs" at his farewell concert, is this a kind of support and tribute?
Although many people say that the reason for Chen Huixian's study abroad is this "Thousand Nights Dispute", Chen Huixian herself did not admit it, explaining that she had planned to study abroad at that time.
This matter should start from Chen Huixian's family background. Chen Huixian was born in a high-ranking official family, and since she was a child, she has a good environment and attends an aristocratic school, and her parents are informed and have high hopes for her.
When I was in high school, most of my classmates were either admitted to hong Kong Chinese university or studied abroad. Chen Huixian believes that her academic performance is average, only her voice conditions are unique, so she ran to the record company to debut, and wanted to prove herself in this way.
It turns out that although Chen Huixian loves music, she really has no dedication. After returning from studying abroad, her popularity declined, there was no new masterpiece, and after changing companies, she was treated coldly, but she still opened many small concerts and tours, and seemed not to be affected by the ridicule of the outside world.
Chen Huixian also said publicly in the interview that she did not regret studying abroad to pursue a psychology degree, because continuing to study has always been the wish of her parents at home, and she also wants to fight for a breath to make up for the regrets of that year, so if she comes again, she will still choose to go.
However, the only thing she wants to change is that she temporarily decided to go abroad because of a momentary mood, and did not tell her boyfriend Ou Dingyu in advance, perhaps this is an important reason for the two to eventually separate.
A dismal comeback, supported by Jacky Cheung
When Chen Huixian was studying in the United States, the company PolyGram has always advised Chen Huixian to come back, the Hong Kong music scene is changing with each passing day, new people are emerging, and one who does not pay attention will be driven off the altar. However, he did not heed the advice of the company and only wanted to complete his studies. However, she still recorded high-quality works for the company, including "Drifting Snow" and "Come Back".
Fans' voices for her comeback have always been very high, in fact, at that time, if Chen Huixian came back, she might be able to surpass Mei Yanfang, but she hesitated, hesitation will lose, which is really true.
In 1995, Chen Huixian returned from school and officially made a comeback in the music scene. However, before There was Faye Wong turned out to be a big fan base, and then there was Lin Yilian's huge fan base, and her voice conditions were not as good as before. Coupled with Chen Huixian's return to China, great changes have taken place within the company, and a group of people have changed at the top level, and it is inevitable that a bout of run-in and socializing will inevitably occur, and Chen Huixian, who does not know how to communicate, will be deliberately ignored by the company.
For the company, Chen Huixian, who holds the "old age and decline", it is better to give resources to the newcomer female singer Chen Huilin.
As a result, Chen Huixian could not accept the reality that she was already a singer, and quit the music scene again in one breath, but soon returned to the music scene, at this time, her popularity had long been exhausted, and there were few responders.
Just when Chen Huixian was frustrated, the appearance of a person made her cheer up again, this person was Jacky Cheung, who was already a "god of song".
In 2014, Jacky Cheung appeared at Chen Huixian's concert as a singing guest, the two sang "Lightly Touch Your Face" together, the love was deep, and could not help but kiss passionately on the spot, causing the screams of the audience, this matter was widely reported, many people questioned the relationship between the two, after all, Jacky Cheung already had a family lineage at that time, and the relationship between the two should not be like this in public, right?
In fact, the relationship between the two has always been very iron. Jacky Cheung's road to the music world was not smooth sailing, he only debuted in the years, was a little transparent, when tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong and other people in the song world were in the limelight, although Jacky Cheung had some strength and popularity, but he could not fight Tan Zhang and Zhang at all.
Once, Jacky Cheung sang on stage, and someone below threw garbage at him, and said in his mouth, You go down, I want to listen to Zhang Guorong and Tan Yonglin singing!
This hit Jacky Cheung, who once fell into decadence, his career fell into a trough, his love life was also very unhappy, and he and Luo Meiwei were on the verge of breaking up.
At this time, Chen Huixian pulled him aside and persuaded the company to let Jacky Cheung sing "A Pair of Lonely Hearts" with her, this song exploded under the popularity bonus of Chen Huixian, and Jacky Cheung also regained popularity with this song and his own strong strength, survived the most difficult period, and finally achieved the "God of Song".
As a result, Chen Huixian returned from studying abroad, and the situation of the two was reversed suddenly, and Chen Huixian, who was not worried about sales, was depressed, and the company did not act. Jacky Cheung, on the other hand, is a success and is highly respected by the music scene. At this time, it was changed to Jacky Cheung to help Chen Huixian, so the two belonged to the friends of suffering, and they were confidants and benefactors.
As early as 1996, Jacky Cheung married Luo Meiwei, who was divided and merged. The two are happily married, and they have two lovely daughters after marriage, and there have been no rumors of marriage changes for so many years, and I believe that Jacky Cheung's character will not turn to empathy at this time.
At the same time, it is not the first time that Chen Huixian and Jacky Cheung have behaved intimately, and the two have photos of kissing in many public occasions, and the two seem to never care about the eyes of others. Maybe in their eyes, this is the family's move.
Today, the 57-year-old Chen Huixian has rarely appeared in the public eye, and her love life is not smooth, and she has not been married and has not had children. However, judging from some photos she sent on social platforms, she has a good life, and the years have not left any traces on her, and her face is still the same.
