At present, the hottest boy group in Hong Kong is none other than Mirror.
One year after his debut, he shot more than 300 commercials. Group posters can be seen everywhere in Hong Kong's commercial buildings and alleys, and director To Qifeng's once said that "all streets are connected, and the capital is avoided".
Jiang Tao, a member of the group, is even more popular. A few days ago, fans celebrated his birthday in Causeway Bay, not only did they lavish advertisements for the large screen of commercial buildings and bus bodies, but the scene was crowded and crowded.
It is no wonder that the Hong Kong media use the word "capture".
However, for this top stream who exploded in Hong Kong, the reaction of most mainland netizens was "Who is this?" ”。 After making good use of search, the question mark on the head does not decrease but increases.
Jiang Tao, who debuted in the C position of "All People Make Stars", can only be called beautiful when his appearance is at the peak. Unfortunately, self-management is not in place, and the current appearance can only be described as greasy.
More importantly, as a boy group idol, singing is general, dancing is not good, and was complained by netizens about "song and dance double waste".
And another member similar to Jiang Tao's popularity, Lu Hanting, is mainly a "enchanting and evil charm". The makeup was so thick that I couldn't see what it looked like, and I twisted my waist and stuck out my tongue when I danced.
Seeing such a "reddest top stream" makes people just want to look back at the golden age of Hong Kong's entertainment industry. At that time, the handsome male star had to have good looks and strength, and he really fought with immortals.
For example, in the eyes of Jiang Tao's fans, the "four heavenly kings" who have been surpassed by their idols.
Before the "Four Heavenly Kings", the Hong Kong music scene was basically "double-divided into the world" by Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung. But then one faded out, the other temporarily retired, and the newcomers were able to come out in time.
Initially, it was a competition between Andy Lau and Dawn, two "twin stars".
At that time, Andy Lau had been debuting for nearly 10 years. The early baby fat has long faded, and the stars are sword-eyed and handsome. has played "The Condor Heroes" and "Lu Ding Ji", and was nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards for the role of Hua Tsai in "Carmen in Mong Kok".
Although Liming has shallow qualifications than Andy Lau, his handsome appearance and noble and elegant temperament make him like a pearl and is destined to break the dust.
The two people with outstanding appearance and the same development route have naturally become competitors.
Jacky Cheung, who took the strength route, had also debuted for many years at that time. The debut album sold as many as 200,000 copies, and won the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Most Promising Newcomer Award for "Love Has Gone".
The album after that was also Zhang Zhang, making him a frequent guest of the Golden Melody Award and the Chinese Golden Melody Award. In the third year of his debut, he held 6 concerts at the Hong Kong Red Hall.
With good results, the popularity will naturally not be low, and the "Gemini" in the music industry will then become the "Three Musketeers".
In 1991, Kwok Fucheng, who went to Taiwan for development, became popular, and the album "Can't Finish Loving You" sold more than one million, and the second album "Should I Walk Away Quietly" also sold well, and was strongly concerned with its unstoppable popularity.
The "Four Heavenly Kings" came into being, and the "Star-chasing Era" was also fully opened.
In the following 10 years, they were not only the backbone of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, but also popular throughout Southeast Asia. Even if the popularity is not as good as in the past, the influence is not comparable to that of ordinary artists.
After the "Four Heavenly Kings", there are "Four Little Kings" in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
There are multiple versions of "Four Little Kings", and the most recognized are the group of Nicholas Tse, Eason Chan, Chen Xiaodong and Edison Chen.
Nicholas Tse, whose parents are both stars, has attracted much attention since birth and has appeared frequently since he was two years old. At the age of 14, he studied with Dai Sicong, shared the stage with the "father of the Hong Kong concert" Cheung Yaorong, and officially signed a debut at the age of 16.
In terms of appearance, Nicholas Tse gathers the advantages of his parents' appearance, his facial features are exquisite and delicate, his temperament is refreshing and rebellious in the sunshine, and he also has outstanding control ability for the stage.
In the second year of his debut, Nicholas Tse won a number of gold awards for newcomers in the music industry; is not yet 18 years old, and won the Best New Actor Award at the Academy Awards; In 1999 alone, he served as three ambassadors, starred in 5 films, won dozens of music awards, and sold more than one million records.
At this time, it can only be regarded as the starting point of Nicholas Tse's career.
Eason Chan, known as "Jacky Cheung's successor", is praised for having the singing skills of "turning decay into magic" and can control any type of song. The songs performed by him seem to be infused with the soul and have a unique infectious power.
In particular, he is not bound to musical form.
Since his debut, Eason Chan has tried different styles such as electro, jazz, and independent music, and almost every album will add new elements. While affecting the mainstream style of the Hong Kong music scene, sales and awards are also very impressive.
According to online data, from 2001 to 2016, Eason Chen won about 260 awards, an average of 15 awards per year.
Edison Chen, who won the "Explosive Newcomer King" award in the year of his debut, has continued to rise in popularity since then. Handsome in appearance and unique in temperament, it is a rare "bad boy" template in the entertainment industry; The sunny and handsome Chen Xiaodong appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala after winning the most popular album award of the year with "Happier Than Me".
Also appearing in the list of "Four Little Heavenly Kings" are Sun Yaowei and Zhong Hanliang.
Sun Yaowei, who entered the entertainment industry in 92, is popular on his debut, and the song "It's Good to Know You" has let countless people know him with handsome appearance and clear temperament.
After that, he returned to his hometown of Hong Kong from Taiwan, and developed in both singing and acting.
Zhong Hanliang, who became a hit after the launch of his debut album "OREA", was not only a vibrant music scene "Little Sun", but also had good film and television results, and his roles of Chase of Life and Gu Xichao can be called screen classics.
In addition to the "four heavenly kings", among the "top" male stars in the Hong Kong entertainment industry with both appearance and strength, there must also be Tony Leung, Zhang Weijian, Koo Tianle, Wu Yanzu, Zheng Yijian and so on.
Not to mention the performing arts works under their names, the superiority of appearance and temperament alone is enough to be remembered through time.
Tony Leung's affectionate electric eyes, Zhang Weijian's eyebrows are picturesque, Gu Tianle's handsomeness, Wu Yanzu's noble and handsome, Zheng Yijian's dashing and unruly... Especially when combined with the character, the charm is doubled.
However, even if the "top stream" mentioned above are added, it is not the entire scenery of the golden period of Hong Kong's entertainment industry. After all, the 10,000 styles and peerless splendor of the goddesses in the Hong Kong circle are also fantastic and beautiful memories in the hearts of countless people.
In contrast, in today's Hong Kong entertainment industry, newcomers are powerless, and once big names are also in a dilemma. By forcibly creating stars, it may be possible to catch fire, but it is an illusion created by overdraft.
Out of Hong Kong, the "top stream" that few people know, can not save the dying Hong Kong entertainment.
