How costly is it to say the wrong thing? 36 years ago, Cai Fenghua was in the Hong Kong music scene as the existence of "Tan Zhang Mei Chen", his good star path was destroyed because of the phrase "a moment of brilliance does not mean eternity", the media hyped up his satire of Cheung Kwok Wing, after which he behaved abnormally and fell to the point of being named one of the "Four Great Epileptic Kings" of Hong Kong.
But many years later, Cai Fenghua still insisted that he did not regret saying that sentence, he only regretted it, because he was interrupted by another host, Lu Minyi, and failed to finish the sentence "Zhang Guorong's brilliance will continue forever." For what happened to Cai Fenghua after that, Lu Minyi also felt very guilty at one time, what happened to her relationship with Cai Fenghua later?
As for the reason why Cai Fenghua "came out of his mouth", there have been many opinions.
Some people say that when the "Golden Song of Jinge" was awarded that year, Zhang Guorong's popularity was booming, and the organizer temporarily awarded the award that Cai Fenghua took to Zhang Guorong, which caused Cai Fenghua's dissatisfaction, so that zhang Guorong was "ridiculed" on the spot;
Some people also said that Zhang Guorong, who could not appear to receive the award at that time, connected with the TV station at his concert and said some things related to Chen Baiqiang, and Cai Fenghua, who also had a good relationship with Chen Baiqiang, could not see it, and only then did he "offend" Zhang Guorong.
At that time, Lu Minyi saw that this momentum was continuing, so she interrupted Cai Fenghua's speech and asked the director to cut the advertisement. And Cai Fenghua, who had not yet said the phrase "Zhang Guorong's brilliance will continue forever", could only wave his hand helplessly.
No matter what the truth is, there is only one Cai Fenghua who pays for this "performance accident".
At that time, TVB was trying to win Zhang Guorong over, and Cai Fenghua's "gaffe" completely broke this possibility, and the angry TVB executives could only take Cai Fenghua to open the knife.
They transferred Cai Fenghua away from the "Golden Song of Jinge", which they had hosted for 5 years.
Although "Absolute Emptiness" written by Cai Fenghua later sold platinum sales, TVB still used the copyright dispute as an excuse to prevent Cai Fenghua from winning the award.
The frustrated Cai Fenghua also went to South Korea and wanted to make a comeback in his hometown, but his luck was not so good. By the time he returned to Hong Kong, China, after a round of tossing and turning, there was no place to stay.
In the days when he ran into walls everywhere, Cai Fenghua began to go astray, and once addicted to drugs and could not extricate himself.
The famous entertainment columnist Zha Xiaoxin once recalled that when he met Cai Fenghua once, he was in a trance, in a very bad state, and admitted that he had taken a whole 12 sedatives.
It is conceivable that such a Cai Fenghua can no longer win any good resources for himself, he was sent to host a late-night radio program, and because he was asleep, he played his own songs for 7 hours in a row, and even the only remaining program kicked him out.
Before the fall, Cai Fenghua was known as the "red-lipped prince" of the Hong Kong music scene, and the prince fell into distress and became "Cai Crazy Hua" and "Epileptic King", and even Wang Jing was used for fun in the movie.
And Cai Fenghua's next few days were even more sad.
After having no source of income, he relied on his seventy- and eighty-year-old mother to help him, and eating a meal without a meal was a true portrayal of his time.
Cai Fenghua, who had not bought new clothes for six years, could not even get the burial fee when his father died;
After a few years, Cai Fenghua's right eye was injured, because there was no money for treatment, he began to wear sunglasses all the time...
In 2003, people also used that pair of sunglasses to recognize Cai Fenghua, who came to Zhang Guorong's funeral with the crowd to mourn.
He is blessed with a blessed body, and he knows that the camera will not miss any opportunity to taunt himself, and he will also come to send his friend on the last journey.
Later, when Cai Fenghua was on strike during an interview, the reporter tried to persuade Cai Fenghua to continue to complete the interview program, and he said a thought-provoking sentence:
"I visited me because I have value, but have you ever cared about Cai Fenghua's real feelings?"
No one cares about Cai Fenghua's real feelings, just like there are many people chasing the wind in reality, but not many people have cared about the truth.
In fact, Cai Fenghua, Chen Baiqiang, Zhang Guorong, the three of them met in micro, although the pace of popularity is not so consistent, there have been misunderstandings, and even because of this, they no longer cooperate, and they are still friends who feel sorry for each other.
After Cai Fenghua 's "gaffe", Chen Baiqiang and Zhang Guorong both explained to their friends for the first time, but as Cai Fenghua said - no one cared.
"All time is wasted after being disappointed, you can take a certain paragraph out of memory, pat the dust deposited on it, and lament that it is the best time."
"The Best Time", directed by Hou Xiaoxian
This is a line from Hou Xiaoxian's movie, and for Cai Fenghua, the 80s were the best time of his life.
He began to reminisce when he met people, saying how happy he was with Chen Baiqiang, Zhang Guorong, Paul Zhong, Mei Yanfang and other friends at that time, so that he was used on the show to imitate and ridicule.
Li Sijie imitated Cai Fenghua
After the "madness", Cai Fenghua stayed in the 80s forever, did not come out, and did not blame him.
It was a time of stars.
Looking up, there are Xu Guanjie, Lin Zixiang, and Xu Xiaofeng, the hall-level Heavenly King Tianhou;
On the whole, the "Tan Zhang Mei Chen" in the prime of the year, Cai Guoquan, who has not yet suffered a disaster, and Cai Fenghua, who has used a song "Qianying" to fire all over the streets and alleys, are all full of vitality;
Looking down, Andy Lau was hand-picked as the "Wireless Five Tiger General", Jacky Cheung walked from the grid to the stage, Aaron Kwok was admitted to the dance training class, and the most interesting thing is that Li Ming won the third place in the five rookie singing competitions by singing Cai Fenghua's "Absolute Emptiness" and officially debuted.
At the beginning, Cai Fenghua also entered the show business circle through competitions.
When Zhang Guorong was still booed by the audience, Cai Fenghua and Chen Baiqiang already had their own masterpieces.
Zhang Guorong, who was not yet popular, was arranged to match Chen Baiqiang in "Cheers", but instead received praise from the director for "overshadowing the light of the protagonist", so the media began to compare Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang together.
Chen Baiqiang has an introverted personality, while Zhang Guorong grins greatly, and the two people are affected by public opinion and begin to feel a little awkward to get along.
When the two cooperated in "Unemployed Student" was released, Zhang Guorong unilaterally announced that he would no longer cooperate with Chen Baiqiang.
At this time, Cai Fenghua has begun to host the "Golden Song of Jinge", and he did not choose the team because of the rumors, whether it is Chen Baiqiang or Zhang Guorong, and his relationship is very good.
In fact, the relationship between Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang is not as bad as the media rendered, their friction, misunderstanding, and anger have quietly dissipated, but the media does not think it is too big to see the hilarity, and always uses this as a gimmick.
'85 became a watershed year for all of this.
Zhang Guorong soared into the sky, Cai Fenghua's "gaffe" was hidden in the snow, Chen Baiqiang floated and sank, experienced a career trough, and regained confidence, and then bid farewell to the difficulties between him and He Chaoqiong, coupled with the media disturbances, he finally fell into the mud.
Later, Cai Fenghua, part of the reason why he was obsessed with the 80s was that the good friends he always mentioned, one by one, left.
In 1989, 30-year-old Paul Chung committed suicide by taking on debts due to business failures;
In 1993, Chen Baiqiang took sleeping pills after drinking alcohol and died after 17 months of coma;
In 2003, Zhang Guorong, plagued by physiological depression, jumped from the 24th floor of the Mandarin Hotel, and in the same year, the 40-year-old Mei Yanfang reiterated her confidence in fighting cancer four times and died on the eve of her upcoming concert in Beijing.
In a commemorative performance, Cai Fenghua, who is no longer prosperous, once showed an old photo taken with his friends, and he said darkly: "I have been lonely and lonely for several years, and now I am the only one standing here." ”
Leaving aside those out-of-control behaviors caused by drugs, Cai Fenghua is not crazy at all, he repeats like Xianglin sister-in-law, why not because he is too lonely?
If there is no "moment of brilliance" event, will Cai Fenghua's achievements be as unattainable as his friends Chen Baiqiang, Zhang Guorong, and Mei Yanfang?
Some people have always said that if it were not for Lu Minyi's interruption, Cai Fenghua would have had the opportunity to bring back the "momentary brilliance".
But for Lu Minyi's "interjection", Cai Fenghua admitted that she was not blamed, and for many years after that, they were still close friends as always.
Lu Minyi has participated in many film and television works, but her more famous identity in the entertainment industry is still the host, she also hosted the longevity variety show "Happy Tonight" with Paul Zhong, and was also highly valued by TVB, serving as the emcee of "Ten Thousand Stars And Thousands of Stars And Glory HeTaiqing".
In 1997, the 30-year-old Lo Min-yee retired behind the scenes, married the famous Hong Kong producer Sun Jing'an, opened a film and television company based on extensive network resources, and prepared concerts for many stars. Lu Minyi herself has completed a gorgeous transformation from a host to a well-known lawyer.
Although Cai Fenghua has never been dissatisfied with Lu Minyi, Lu Minyi still feels guilty, so when she heard that Cai Fenghua hoped to return to the stage, she and Sun Jing'an began to rush forward and help each other.
Because of the media's clamor for many years, coupled with Cai Fenghua's long time away from the public eye, when he held a comeback concert, no one was willing to invest.
At the critical moment, Lu Minyi and Sun Jing'an brought a lot of sponsorship for Cai Fenghua, and finally they also paid a lot of money to invest in it.
With the support of Lu Minyi and a group of friends in the circle, the "Wholeheartedly Support Cai Fenghua" concert was successfully held in 2011, and because of the good response, another concert was opened.
Cai Fenghua worked hard to lose weight and rehearse for this concert, after all, he had not sung like this for more than three hours in a row for many years, his voice was much worse than before, and he was no longer so spirited on the stage compared with before.
The fans were still listening and clapping, and he was on stage, singing happily.
Lu Minyi, who was in the corner of the stage, could not help but shed tears.
She also walked to the stage and restored the mystery of the storm at the award ceremony with Cai Fenghua.
We can't hope to see a literary and artistic environment where a hundred flowers bloom but are happy and harmonious, but the reality is just like the rice circle culture of the media advocating pulling and stepping on and deforming development, so that everything in the ideal gradually drifts away.
At the height of "Tan Zhang's struggle", the fans of the two sides insulted and fought, and Zhang Guorong and Tan Yonglin were distressed by fans, but the way to stop the deterioration of things was to start from themselves, and even announced their retirement and no longer accepted the award.
Returning to the protagonist of the incident, a reporter who had a good thing asked Cai Fenghua whether he was jealous of Zhang Guorong and did not choose his words.
Cai Fenghua said: "I now solemnly declare that in my acting career in the past few decades, I have never been jealous of anyone, including Zhang Guorong, whether he won an award or became popular. In fact, at that time, Zhang Guorong, Chen Baiqiang, Mei Yanfang and I were all good friends when I was young, and there was no one who was jealous of whom. ”
With the washing of time, Cai Fenghua, who was taken out of context, waited until the sunrise clouds dispersed.
