It is estimated that even Liming himself did not expect that in recent years, he had rarely worked and almost "disappeared", but in this case, he would achieve a "sharp increase in word of mouth".
I have to say that the reputation of celebrities is also a "metaphysics", sometimes they don't do anything, and they can achieve a "surge in word-of-mouth" by relying on their peers.
This point has been fully reflected in the "Heavenly King" Liming recently, and recently, Liming still has no new works outflow, and there is no activity in the mainland.
Just a few days ago, he participated in the "2024 Hong Kong Film and Television Entertainment Expo" in Hong Kong, and as the ambassador of the expo, he wore a golden suit that day.
Although he is now 57 years old, there are some traces of time on his face, but this does not prevent him from being the most handsome man in the crowd, and seeing that he is in good shape, this inevitably makes many fans expect him to make more appearances, and it is best to launch some new works.
But netizens who have paid attention to Liming know that the last work Liming participated in was the TV series "Jiang Ye" broadcast in 2018.
As for the concert, it also stayed at last year's Macau concert, and with these data, we can see that Li Ming has really begun to live his "retirement life".
He has also become the "most rotten" one among the Four Heavenly Kings, but who knows that sometimes "inaction" is a good thing, and Dawn has now become the one with the best reputation among the "Four Heavenly Kings", why is this?
It is said that the one with the best reputation and the most stable status among the "Four Heavenly Kings" has always been Andy Lau, and he is also the most hard-working king, and the movies have not been interrupted in recent years.
But it's a pity that the movie "Mr. Red Carpet" starring him and released during the Spring Festival encountered two box office "Waterloos" in succession, and the box office only exceeded 80 million for a week after the Spring Festival was released, and finally had no choice but to withdraw.
After the film was re-released on March 15, the box office results were still not satisfactory, and after this incident, many netizens felt that Andy Lau's box office appeal was not strong now.
There are even netizens who analyze that Andy Lau's box office appeal alone has weakened, which is caused by his excessive filming in recent years, which makes people aesthetically fatigued.
On the other hand, Andy Lau has suffered a decline in reputation because of too many films, which makes people aesthetically fatigued, while Jacky Cheung on the other side has also been complained by some netizens because of too many concerts.
We all know that Jacky Cheung's concerts in the mainland seem to have never stopped, and it is reported that in the past 1 year, Jacky Cheung has held 100 concerts.
Such achievements are legendary for young singers, not to mention Jacky Cheung, who is 62 years old, the most important thing is that the venue is full.
It is said that having such achievements is enough to show that Jacky Cheung is an "evergreen" in the music world, which is worthy of praise, but some netizens questioned him that he was "making money", and bluntly said that he made so much money from concerts, which was very unpleasant.
In addition, there are still rumors on the Internet that Jacky Cheung worked so hard to make money, and as soon as his body recovered, he immediately returned to the stage of the concert, all because of the failure of his wife Luo Meiwei's investment.
Originally, if this incident was true, Jacky Cheung's efforts to make money definitely confirmed once again that he was a "good man for the Gu family", but who knows, this time netizens took "circle money" as the focus, and Jacky Cheung's reputation naturally declined.
As for the other "king" Aaron Kwok, his situation is even worse, Aaron Kwok has recently had both new movies released and concerts to meet us.
In January 2024, the movie "Temporary Robbery" starring him was released, and it just came off the cinema not long ago, and the final box office result was only 237 million, which is not very ideal.
As for his concert, Aaron Kwok was supposed to hold a concert in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province in January, but who knew that the sales of tickets were not ideal, even if they were sold at a low price, the ticket sales were still not ideal, and they had no choice but to cancel it in the end.
With these achievements, we can also feel that Aaron Kwok's popularity has long been different from what it used to be, coupled with his reputation on emotional issues, he has fallen a lot because of missing Xiong Dailin.
After marrying his wife Fang Yuan, he was labeled as "picking the door", so Aaron Kwok has been "falling" in popularity and reputation in recent years!
It is precisely because these three kings are often active in the entertainment industry that their popularity and reputation have declined compared with before, so that the dawn of the gradual "disappearing" has become the existence with the best reputation among the "Four Heavenly Kings".
Although in this way, the reputation of Liming is good, and it is somewhat "unsatisfactory", it is undeniable that since Liming's debut, the reputation has been very good, and there is no need for others to set off.
In the 90s, there was such a saying in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, that is, "You are popular, can you be popular past Dawn", just by virtue of this sentence, we can feel Dawn's super popularity at that time.
However, Liming's fame was not achieved overnight, and he reached the position of "Heavenly King" at once, even if he has the appearance of a "noble son", he has experienced a lot of twists and turns at the beginning of his career in the entertainment industry.
In fact, Li Ming himself is a "noble son", in December 1966, he was born in Beijing, his family is very good, his father Li Xinsheng is said to be a successful businessman.
When Lai Ming was 4 years old, the family moved to Hong Kong because of his father's job transfer, although Lai Ming has lived in Hong Kong for a long time since then.
But he never forgot where he was born, and he tried to give back in every way in the future, which laid a solid foundation for his good reputation.
Although with Liming's appearance when he was young, his breakthrough in the entertainment industry was a smooth thing, but in fact, his debut also began with an accident, after graduating from high school at the age of 16, Liming went to study in the UK alone.
As a result, in Britain, he did not live well, not only was he bullied, but he couldn't stand the barracks-style life of only taking a shower twice a week, so after he contracted hay fever in his nose, he took the opportunity to go back to Hong Kong to recuperate.
Who knows, it was this time that he returned to Hong Kong, he was discovered by a talent scout, and he also won the third place in the "Rookie Singing Contest", just like that, Liming knocked on the door of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Although Liming made his debut through a singing competition, he was the first to be known to the public as an actor, as he began to make TV series shortly after his debut.
In 1987, Liming, who was just 21 years old, starred in the TVB TV series "The True Colors of Men", in which he played a handsome villain, although his acting skills were still very immature at that time, but the broadcast effect was not bad.
Originally, Liming was ready to be an actor, but then because of disagreements with the company, he was "hidden" by the company before he filmed a few dramas and became the leading actor.
Fortunately, with Liming's outstanding appearance, he just came to Taiwan to test the waters, and he got the opportunity to shoot the TV series "The Age of Storms", and the key is that he also sang an episode for the show.
What Li Ming never expected was that with the popularity of this drama, Li Ming became popular all of a sudden, and he not only got the opportunity to return to the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but also made his debut in the Hong Kong music scene.
After that, Liming embarked on the road of multi-habitat development of film and television songs, and his popularity rose in a straight line, in the music world, in 1991, Liming launched his masterpiece "Will You Come Tonight".
In 1995, he starred in the film "Fallen Angel" directed by Wong Kar-wai, although the film is not the most famous among the films directed by Wong Kar-wai.
But many viewers feel that this movie is underestimated, especially Liming's performance in the film, which is completely about good looks and acting skills.
Fortunately, the dawn of the second year ushered in his masterpiece that has been recorded in film history, that is, "Sweet Honey" starring him and Maggie Cheung.
You must know that this movie was selected as one of the "Top Ten Best Films in the World" back then, and it is still one of the masterpieces of Hong Kong films in their heyday.
It is no exaggeration to say that with this movie alone, Liming has already embarked on the road of an actor, not to mention that there are more than one good movies starring him.
In 2002, Liming won the Golden Horse Award "Best Actor" trophy with his wonderful performance in the horror movie "Three Watches: Homecoming".
As for Dawn, there are even more awards in the music industry, since he began to release albums in the 90s, whenever he participates in the music award film, he will inevitably become one of the biggest winners.
Of course, not only him, but also the other three kings, and because of this, the four of them can be recognized as the "Four Heavenly Kings" by virtue of their super popularity, and they are also the strongest existence in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 90s.
However, Li Ming obviously doesn't care about these false names, and the most important thing is that he feels that he always wins awards at the award ceremony, which is very bad for newcomers in the Hong Kong music scene.
So at the end of 1999, he announced a decision that he would no longer receive any awards in the Hong Kong music scene from now on.
In fact, based on this alone, we can see that Liming is a star with a big pattern, no wonder his reputation in the entertainment industry has always been very good.
However, this matter is not worth mentioning at all on Liming, because before that, Liming had done a lot of things with a big pattern, and it also confirmed his identity as a "patriotic artist".
As early as 1993, Dawn did something big for the whole country when he and UNICEF launched the "Polio Eradication" charity campaign across the country.
In order to give children across the country a "sugar pill" that can eradicate polio, he held several charity singing performances at that time, and finally raised funds to meet the needs of 80 million children to eat "sugar pills".
Because of his philanthropic efforts, the United Nations also gave him a rare red passport that allowed him to enter any country without any visa.
In addition to being recognized as the "King of Charity", Liming's sense of patriotism is also far greater than that of many Hong Kong stars, in 1997, when Hong Kong had just returned to the motherland, Hong Kong was panicked and many people wanted to emigrate.
As a public figure, Li Ming openly appealed at the event at that time, advising Hong Kong people not to immigrate and to stay in Hong Kong.
In addition, when participating in interviews in the early years, Li Ming was always asked "whether he was from Hong Kong", and at this time, Li Ming would always answer domineeringly: "I am Chinese." ”
In fact, the story happened here, and we can already fully understand why everyone's love for Dawn begins with appearance, loyalty to talent, and character.
Indeed, the most unworthy thing about him is that his appearance perfectly interprets the 4 words "Prince Charming", and because of this, his colorful emotional story has become the only groove on him.
However, although Liming's emotional stories are very rich, and he has had scandals with many actresses, he is also a star who is rarely very frank about his emotional trends in that era.
When he was in love with Shu Qi, he didn't hide it, and after falling in love with Le Jier, they quickly entered the palace of marriage, even if they broke up unhappily and ended in divorce, he made all these news public without reservation.
In 2018, when the female assistant Ah Wing gave birth to a daughter for him, he also decisively announced the good news and quickly gave the female assistant Ah Wing a name.
So no matter how rich Liming's feelings are, the outside world has nothing to blame, after all, he is a good man who never makes a fuss about his ex!
Perhaps because of having a daughter who has everything to do, since 2018, Liming has gradually reduced the frequency of work, and not only has no new film and television works come out.
And even the concerts are only held in Hong Kong and Macau, a few in a small area, and the rest of the time, as long as he is photographed by reporters, he is basically accompanying his wife and daughter.
And in order to ensure that his daughter and wife live more comfortably and safely, he also spent tens of millions of dollars, buying a nanny car and a yacht, just on this basis, no one said that he was slamming the door.
And even though Liming is far less exposed than before, his popularity is still very high, and when he held a concert last year, many fans were still waiting to see him after the concert.
He was also completely satisfied with the fans' requests, and when he saw the fans waiting for him, he immediately got out of the car, let the fans take a good look at him, and expressed his gratitude to the fans.
The most important thing is that if a fan's small gift accidentally falls on the ground, he will also ask the staff to pick it up and give it to him immediately, just with this small detail, we can understand why fans still love him so much in the more than 40 years since his debut.
After looking at Liming's experience of becoming famous, and some of the things he did that were very impressive, we should understand that even if we don't compare it with the other three heavenly kings, his reputation is still very good.
What's more, even if the other three kings have recently caused some small controversies because of some things, their reputation is far more than that of many stars, after all, they are all superstars who have debuted for more than 40 years and have works and popularity.
How can those who go up the mountain look down on the gods who go down the mountain? I also hope that the four of the "Four Heavenly Kings" represented by Dawn can continue to write their own legends.
