I never expected that when Jacky Cheung was a guest on a show, he exposed such fierce material.
At the level of the king, he was invited by the show to be a judge, offering an appearance fee of 9 figures and hundreds of millions, but Jacky Cheung refused, thinking that he didn't know how to teach his juniors, and he was afraid that he couldn't bear this responsibility.
Seeing Jacky Cheung's answer, and then looking at the judges of various music programs today, it is really difficult to say a word.
Now many singers are holding concerts, and the singer Jacky Cheung has also announced his 10th solo tour and announced the name of the concert - Jacky Cheung 60+ Tour.
61-year-old Jacky Cheung wore a black embroidered suit to attend the press conference, he was still spirited, warm and kind, and always had a signature smile on his face.
Speaking of Jacky Cheung's concert, the most memorable and classic is the 233 "Jacky Classics" solo tour held in 2016.
"Xueyou Classic" broke Jacky Cheung's personal concert record, and it is also one of the few fairy-level concerts in the music industry, and it is a concert that even fugitive "criminals" can't help but listen to and watch.
Today, Jacky Cheung, who is 60+, still loves music?
One
Born in Hong Kong, China, Jacky Cheung has been a good child who follows traditional education since he was a child. He followed the rules in life and study, and when he was a child, he felt that "inheriting his father's business" was traditional but in line with common sense.
Therefore, at a young age, he was determined to become an excellent crew member who galloped in the vast sea like his father.
However, the moment the son of the crew member sat on the boat, he suddenly found himself "seasick"! This unconventional phenomenon is really funny and ridiculous to Jacky Cheung.
The road that was originally planned for himself now seems to have no need to move forward, so Jacky Cheung decided to change direction and re-plan his life.
Becoming a singer is another road he has planned for himself.
But the first condition for becoming a singer, in addition to having basic musical talent, must also be to like singing from the heart.
When he was in school, Jacky Cheung often showed his singing skills to his classmates, and was always named by the elders, asking him to sing for everyone.
This performance has accumulated more confidence for Jacky Cheung, so he firmly believes that he has a talent that is different from ordinary people in singing.
So, full of confidence, he picked up the tape at home and wanted to record his own singing so that he could enjoy his heavenly singing voice repeatedly.
As a result, Jacky Cheung, who tried recording for the first time, was shocked when he played the tape!
The sound coming out of the tape was completely different from the heavenly sound imagined by Jacky Cheung, and it was even difficult to hear that even he couldn't listen to it, so he pulled out the tape on the spot and threw it into the trash.
However, Jacky Cheung was not discouraged, in order to improve his singing skills, Jacky Cheung formed a band with friends in high school, and played records at home every day and sang along to the music in the records.
In this way, day after day of practice finally made Jacky Cheung's singing skills improve by leaps and bounds, and he successfully won the second place in the school's singing competition.
Jacky Cheung, who originally wanted to focus on the singing industry after graduation, suddenly changed his mind after graduating from high school and went to work as an assistant clerk at the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and as a ticket attendant at Cathay Pacific, in short, he lived a 9-to-5 life every day.
The main reason for Jacky Cheung to change the direction of his career is because his father is old and likes to gamble, in order to make his father no longer risk being a crew member, but also for his father to quit gambling addiction, he took the initiative to take care of the family and find a stable job for himself.
The stable work situation can indeed make Jacky Cheung's life easier, but the pay for these two jobs is far less than that of being a singer.
Looking at the meager salary he got every month, Jacky Cheung was still unwilling, so he was uneasy about the current situation and decided to find another way!
Two
If Jacky Cheung is like ordinary people, he just wants to live a good life in front of him steadily, then there will be no "generation of song gods" today, and Jacky Cheung cannot become one of the "four heavenly kings" in the music scene.
Jacky Cheung was still a singing child in his bones, and when he heard that RTHK was about to hold the first "Hong Kong 18-District Amateur Singing Competition", he couldn't contain his excitement and was eager to try.
And once you win the championship in the singing competition, you can directly sign with PolyGram Records, and you can directly bring home a record player worth 7,000 yuan!
The rich reward stimulated Jacky Cheung's inner excitement, and he immediately left his job to sign up.
In the end, Jacky Cheung broke through layers of barriers and easily won the championship with a song "Earth Love" on the day of the finals.
PolyGram Records opened its doors and waited for the arrival of Jacky Cheung, whose identity as a singer was officially established.
I thought that if I signed a record company, the singer's road would be smooth sailing, but for 3 months after signing the contract, PolyGram Records never gave Jacky Cheung any work, as if he was a small transparent in the company.
Because PolyGram Records already had the two ace singers Alan Tam and Kwan Zhengjie in its hands at that time, PolyGram invested time, energy, and resources in these two singers, how could there be time to manage a new person.
But since he has signed a contract with the company, Jacky Cheung can only quietly wait for the company's arrangement, and continue to do the work of a clerk.
While waiting for the opportunity, Jacky Cheung's inner fantasy about the singer has not stopped, and he is even secretly practicing autographing, in case one day he really becomes famous, he can have a hand-held autograph.
In this way, Jacky Cheung was in love with the autograph while waiting for the opportunity to become popular and take the initiative to come to the door.
After about 1 year, PolyGram finally remembered Jacky Cheung, a new singer, and began to plan to release a record for him.
Jacky Cheung's first solo album named "Smile" was officially launched, and Jacky Cheung, a small transparent in the music industry, actually won 300,000 record sales in one shot, and won the "Top Ten Chinese Golden Melodies Most Promising Newcomer Award" with this album, becoming a magical figure in the Hong Kong music scene!
PolyGram discovered that Jacky Cheung had the potential to become popular, so she quickly struck while the iron was hot and tailored his second solo album "Distant She · Amour》。
Unexpectedly, this album was also well received as soon as it was launched, and the album sales were still far ahead, and the album's title song "Distant Her" became one of the masterpieces of Jacky Cheung's career in the music industry.
24-year-old Jacky Cheung finally kept the clouds open and saw the moon, and suddenly became a hot rising star in the Hong Kong music scene!

Opening a concert is an important way for singers to verify their strength and unite the power of fans, through the song of the concert, build a communication bridge between singers and fans, and narrow the distance between stars and ordinary people.
After Jacky Cheung gained a wave of loyal fans through two solo albums, PolyGram quickly arranged for him and another newcomer Lu Fang to hold Jacky Cheung's first concert in his life - "Double Star Concert" at Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong.
Not surprisingly, the concert was an unprecedented success. And Jacky Cheung, who stood on the concert stage for the first time, although he calmly held the microphone and hummed a familiar melody on the surface, his inner tension revealed his emotions as a newcomer in the music industry.
Even though Jacky Cheung has held hundreds of concerts and seen countless big scenes, the tension every time he goes on stage is the same as when he first took the stage.
After the concert, the audience remembered not only Jacky Cheung in the album, but also Jacky Cheung in real life.
Walking on the street, there will be fans looking for him to sign autographs, and Jacky Cheung's long-studied autograph finally came in handy.
However, Jacky Cheung's career in the music industry has not been smooth sailing.
In order to achieve Jacky Cheung's identity as a "generation of song gods", God still created some trouble for him.
In 1987, Jacky Cheung ushered in the Asura field of "Tan Zhang Battle for Hegemony".
Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam were famous superstars in the Hong Kong music scene at that time, and Jacky Cheung, as a rising star in the music industry, had no capital to fight the two superstars head-on.
Even during this period, he has successively released many solo albums such as "Love Has Gone", "Half Moon Bend", "Last Night's Dream", but under the cover of the light of the two major music stars, Jacky Cheung's albums simply can't stir up too many waves.
For a time, Jacky Cheung, who was at the peak, had no time to float in the future, and he had to experience the taste of falling into the dust, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Jacky Cheung.
Jacky Cheung officially entered the first bottleneck period of his career.
At the same time, Jacky Cheung's brother also used Jacky Cheung's name to borrow usury from the underworld, and Jacky Cheung, who was hit by these two major events at the same time, instantly fell to the bottom.
In order to relieve stress, Jacky Cheung began to drink heavily, and every time he couldn't sleep without getting drunk.
The result of alcoholism not only affected Jacky Cheung's personal mental state, but also delayed normal work.
Gradually, Jacky Cheung began to enter a state of drunkenness every day, and the media who loved to watch the excitement couldn't wait to broadcast Jacky Cheung's drunken unconscious appearance every day.
Because of alcoholism, Jacky Cheung also had several embarrassing incidents. For example, drinking in Lan Kwai Fong and arguing with fans, almost fighting; For example, at Anita Mui's birthday party, Jacky Cheung, who was drunk, was charged with "throwing cakes" for no reason...
Absurd incidents again and again have led to a sharp decline in Jacky Cheung's fame in the music industry, and many people are waiting to see Jacky Cheung's jokes.
Jacky Cheung, who was full of comments, came back to his senses and realized how absurd his behavior was.
Only after thinking about the pain did he make up his mind to quit drinking.
Four
After making a mess of his career due to alcoholism, it is not so easy for Jacky Cheung to make a comeback.
So Jacky Cheung decided to change his thinking and try the water in the entertainment industry.
In 1986, Jacky Cheung's first movie "Thunderbolt Hero" was officially launched, although he only played a small policeman with few scenes, but he still tried his best to play this small role well when he dared to take risks.
By 1988, Jacky Cheung starred in his second movie "Carmen in Mong Kok". This time, Jacky Cheung is no longer a small role with few roles, but the supporting actor "Brother Fly" in the movie.
"Brother Wuflies"'s unlearned and self-righteous breakthrough Jacky Cheung's impression in the audience's mind, especially the classic lines and classic expressions in the movie, in the following years, it was actually made into an emoji by netizens with big brains, and it was popular all over the circle of friends.
With "Brother Fly Fly", Jacky Cheung's performance in the film industry has improved slightly and won the Best Supporting Actor at the 8th Hong Kong Film Awards.
Next, Jacky Cheung did not immerse himself in film and television filming, but returned to his old profession - singing.
In 1989, Jacky Cheung restarted in the music industry with the album "Only Wish to Love One Person in My Life", this time the title song of the same name "Only Wish to Love One Person in My Life" and the second wave of the title song "Sunset Drunk" won the Top Ten Golden Melody Award at the same time.
The king of music is officially online!
And what really made Jacky Cheung sit on the throne of heaven was the Cantonese album "Can't Help It" released in 1991, with the title song "Love You More Every Day" in the album, he won the 14th Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Award, Top Ten Powerful Song Golden Melody Award, Commercial Radio Hall Supreme Song Award, Golden Melody Top Ten Favorite Song Award and many other awards in the music industry.
Jacky Cheung has been officially certified by the media and fans.
As for when did Jacky Cheung join the "Four Heavenly Kings"? It was all thanks to the song "Kiss Goodbye" in 1993, when the album's sales directly exceeded 450,000 copies.
A song "Kiss Goodbye" became popular all over the country, and the streets and alleys were full of "I kiss you goodbye, in a no-man's street..." Surrounded by a 360° three-dimensional singing voice, Jacky Cheung's soulful singing is firmly engraved in the hearts of fans, and men, women and children are willing to be conquered.
The "Four Kings" of the Hong Kong music scene were officially born!
Although Jacky Cheung is not the most beautiful among the "Four Heavenly Kings", he is the best singing skill among the "Four Heavenly Kings"! This best singing skill is proved by Jacky Cheung through concert after concert.
In 1995, Jacky Cheung held 100 world tours, with 2 million viewers, setting a Guinness record for the number of concerts held by Asian singers.
This year, Jacky Cheung's album sales were second only to international superstar "Michael Jackson".
Jacky Cheung's heavenly king status and singing strength have been shaken.
Five
Jacky Cheung, who has been sitting on the throne of the king for 30 years, his emotional world can also be called a clear stream in the entertainment industry, he only loves one person in his life, and he is never obtained by the various beauties around him, which is also in line with the "romantic" character that Jacky Cheung has maintained all the way.
In Jacky Cheung's emotional world, only one woman's name appears, she is Anita Mui's godsister and the popular actress Luo Meiwei in the 80s film industry.
When it comes to Luo Meiwei, most people know her from the comedy film "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" directed by Huang Baiming.
At that time, Luo Meiwei was just a young actor who had just entered the film industry, and there was indeed a big difference between her and Jacky Cheung, who was famous in the music industry.
However, later, with the assistance of Huang Baiming, He Guanchang, Anita Mui and others, Luo Meiwei successfully entered the status of a first-line actress in the film industry, and the road to stars was bright and bright.
And the encounter between Luo Meiwei and Jacky Cheung originated from the fact that the two starred in the movie "Infatuated Me" at the same time.
Jacky Cheung fell in love with the young and beautiful Luo Meiwei at first sight, and dedicated his first on-screen kiss to Luo Meiwei, and the two experienced the feeling of electrocution at the same time.
As a result, the relationship between Luo Meiwei and Jacky Cheung has spread in the entertainment industry, and although both of them have come forward to deny it, they still can't stand the media to add fuel and vinegar.
Later, Jacky Cheung also invited Luo Meiwei to play the MV heroine of the song "Half Moon Bend", which immediately confirmed the fact that the two were in love.
And the love between Luo Meiwei and Jacky Cheung was not smooth sailing from the beginning.
During Jacky Cheung's crazy drinking, Luo Meiwei also felt disappointed and heartache for him, seeing Jacky Cheung go farther and farther on the road of decline, Luo Meiwei had to break up with him.
I didn't expect this radical method to be quite effective. Because Luo Meiwei's breakup made Jacky Cheung wake up and decide to change his appearance.
After reviving his career, Jacky Cheung pursued Luo Meiwei. This time, he went to marry Luo Meiwei.
Finally, in 1991, Luo Meiwei and Jacky Cheung officially announced their reunion.
After getting back together, Lo Meiwei's career flourished all the way, and she was once on a par with Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, Chung Chuhong and others, and was known as the "most promising actress" in Hong Kong.
But no one expected that Luo Meiwei would willingly retire behind the scenes for Jacky Cheung, and registered her marriage with Jacky Cheung in London in 1996, making a legendary story in the entertainment industry.
Jacky Cheung, who has been in the entertainment industry for thirty years, has never wanted to do his duty as a singer according to his own wishes.
Even though he is now in his sixties, he still can't quench his passion and desire for music.
That's why his singing is so moving!
