There used to be a topic, that is, in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, who has the highest comprehensive achievements? Under the selection and evaluation of netizens, Xu Guanjie actually ranked first, surpassing Jacky Cheung. Among the other remaining four heavenly kings, Aaron Kwok did not even make the list.
Some netizens questioned, shouldn't Chow Yun-fat be the one who talks about the film industry? Some people also questioned whether Lin Zixiang is not as good as Xu Guanjie's singing skills? Why can so many famous and powerful stars rank him first.
So let's walk into the "Good Morning New Discovery" column of Shanghai FM103.7 radio station that year, and look back on these Hong Kong superstars who monopolized the music and film industry in the 90s.
Xu Guanjie
Everyone knows that Jacky Cheung is the "God of Songs", but in fact, what has been ignored by everyone is that the first generation of Hong Kong's music "God of Songs" is Xu Guanjie. Of course, this title is not because his singing skills are ranked first in the Hong Kong music scene, but because of his contribution to Cantonese songs in that era.
In the mid-seventies and eighties, especially the Hong Kong people, all that circulated around them were some Western songs, such as Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, etc. Secondly, it was our turn to sing in Chinese, and as for Cantonese songs, they were not popular music at all.
And Xu Guanjie was also deeply influenced by Elvis Presley, combined with the social outlook of Hong Kong people at that time, and created a song "Iron Tower Lingyun". It was also this song that completely opened a new era of music in Hong Kong.
In addition to the influence of the music industry, Xu Guanjie also performed well in the film industry. Some people say that in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Xu Guanjie's acting skills are the closest to the original Linghu Chong. And the theme song of that movie has also become a classic among the classics, and "A Laugh in the Sea" can still hum a few words from both men and women, young and old.
If you want to ask why his fame is not as big as other Hong Kong stars in the minds of fans, it is actually that in 92, he announced that he would quit the entertainment industry, and this period was his peak. As soon as this news came out, it can be said that it shocked the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Even Leslie Cheung, who vowed never to sing again, appeared with Xu Guanjie and sang the last song "Silence is Golden". And Anita Mui and Alan Tam sat in the audience like little fans and looked at him obsessively. is such a legendary figure, who may have completely retired from the entertainment industry, but changed in an incident that happened in 2003.
On April 1, my good friend Leslie Cheung jumped and left us. And then in December, Anita Mui also passed away, the fall of these two superstars caused a sensation in the whole of Hong Kong, in order to let the public out of the haze, Xu Guanjie, who was over fifty years old, picked up the guitar again, not for anything else, just to bring some joy to everyone.
Throughout Xu Guanjie's life, he has a character of not fighting or grabbing, and he never wants any glory and wealth, and 80% of his works in his life are to bring joy to everyone. "Ghost Horse Double Star", "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", "Best Partner", etc., each work has broken the box office champion in Hong Kong.
At that time, there was also a saying that the only person who broke Xu Guanjie's box office achievements was himself. As long as the movie starring him can win 8 annual box office championships in just 11 years, this glorious record is something that no one can break.
Leslie Cheung and Rowan
The second and third places in the comprehensive ranking belong to "Song Immortal" Leslie Cheung and "Song Saint" Luo Wen.
Leslie Cheung's miracle should go without saying, as a legend, he created a precedent for Hong Kong's energetic singing and dancing. Although he was not born in a professional class, Leslie Cheung is like a person who was born to live for the stage.
The genre of music he has involved has ranged from rock to pop, from singing for movies to his own original compositions, Leslie Cheung has always been able to make the world remember with his own style.
In terms of movies, he goes deep into each character and personally understands the inner meaning of the role, and it is often like this that he will be deeply involved in the role and have no way to come out and live his own life.
In terms of character, Leslie Cheung is always humble and careful. He will never use his position to deliberately suppress other newcomers. In addition, he has an unwavering attitude towards life, he has never been constrained by rules and regulations, dares to challenge the world, and the kind of rebellious energy in his bones cannot be possessed by ordinary people. This is why Leslie Cheung can become a classic.
Let's go back to the "singer" Luo Wen, like Xu Guanjie, his musical achievements have also accelerated the development of Cantonese songs in the Hong Kong music scene, "Iron Blood Dan Heart", "A Few Wind and Rain", "Chinese Dream", etc., these songs that have been sung to this day are all from Luo Wen.
In the 83 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the duet between Rowan and Zhenni has become an unsurpassed classic. But heroes are always ill-fated, and in 2002, Rowan unfortunately passed away from us due to illness. And his name is gradually moving away from us.
Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, and Liming of the Four Heavenly Kings
Jacky Cheung, is the second generation of "God of Songs" after Xu Guanjie, his musical achievements are undoubted, in the 80s of the last century, a lyrical song "Kiss Goodbye" resounded all over the country, and then touched the heartstrings of the audience with a rock song "The Legend of Brother Wolf".
In 1995, Jacky Cheung's record sales were second only to Michael Jackson in the United States, becoming the second-best-selling singer. Not only in the music industry, but also in the film industry, he has also made great achievements, "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "A Chinese Ghost Story", etc., has also won the Hong Kong Film Awards many times, ranking first among the four kings.
Liming, like a lonely and hesitant prince, he is involved in a variety of music fields, not only that, at his peak, Liming has held solo concerts in Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, etc., and even performed on the same stage with Michael Jackson, which also created the door to the field of electronic music in China.
Like Jacky Cheung, he is not only an excellent singer, but also a powerful actor, not only that, but he is also a charity king, but he is a very low-key person, and he sits silently and does what he wants to do.
The second most controversial is Andy Lau, although he is the most active in the film industry now, but his evaluation of him back then was mixed. But if you talk about the king of hard work, he must be well-deserved, for more than 30 years, he has released hundreds of songs and won numerous awards.
He has acted in more than 140 movies and more than 150 records, and his achievements are not self-evident.
However, the above rankings do not represent all, each of them must have their own strength, in order to always stand in everyone's field of vision, so in your heart, who is the king of heaven?
