In the 1970s, the entire Hong Kong music scene was the domain of Cheung Kwok Wing and Chen Baiqiang, and it was impossible for ordinary freelance musicians to come forward. But there is such a person, he suffers from dyslexia but can win music awards many times, and the godfather of music, Li Zongsheng, also has to come to the door to ask for music. The singing of "Love of a Lifetime" I don't know how many people have listened to crying, a third-rate small actor to a first-class musician, what did Lu Guanting experience during this period?
Lu Guanting's father, Lu Haitian, was a lifelong affair, and it is said that he had nine illegitimate children outside, and Lu Guanting was one of them. But Lu Haitian's main room Tan Xiuzhen is childless, she decided to raise a boy, Lu Haitian immediately farted upside down, hugged four children home for his wife to choose, in fact, no matter which one Lu Haitian chooses by his wife will not be a "cheap father", because these children are his own children! In the end, Lu Guanting won the victory with obedience and stayed.
But no one expected that Lu Guanting actually suffered from "dyslexia", unable to concentrate on studying, and it would be more difficult to study well in the future than to ascend to the sky. But while God closed a door for him, he would often open a window for him, and when he was 13 years old, Lu Guanting's family immigrated to the United States, and the language barrier became a major difficulty for him. In one class, Lu Guanting was asked by the teacher to recite in public, and Lu Guanting, who had dyslexia, had difficulty even recognizing words, let alone reciting.
But the solution is always more than difficult, because he usually spends more time with music, so this time he also wants to use music to solve the problem. He asked the teacher if he could recite it musically, and the teacher agreed. So Lu Guanting's first song was created in this way, not only praised by teachers and classmates, but also "performed" in several other classes. Since then, Lu Guanting seems to have discovered his own advantages and began to study music wholeheartedly.
In 1977, Lu Guanting returned from the Konish School of Music in the United States, dreaming of making country music enter the Hong Kong music scene, but when he met Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang with full confidence, it was simply difficult to do. In addition, because of the dyslexia can not fill in the words, there are no fans to buy their own music, after hitting the "south wall" several times in order to "live", Lu Guanting chose to sing in the bar. Just as the so-called workplace frustration scene was triumphant, during this period, his true destiny goddess Tang Shuchen appeared.
Tang Shuchen was the granddaughter of the great warlord Tang Jiyao, and after being a famous person at that time, the identities of the two of them were very different. After returning from school in the United States, Tang Shuchen worked in the family business for a period of time and may not like that kind of working environment. She worked as a public relations manager in the hotel where Lu Guanting was stationed. In the same "world", both of them are attracted to each other's talents, and because the hotel prohibits employees from having a romantic relationship, the two of them have an underground romance.
But in the end, the paper package could not hold the fire, the relationship between the two was accidentally discovered by the high-level, and Lu Guanting, who was not as good as his girlfriend in the background, became cannon fodder and was directly swept out of the hotel. For Miss Qianjin, who regards money in dung and is still in the period of hot love, it can be said that she stabbed the honeycomb, Tang Shuchen resolutely decided to make a promise to each other and become the exclusive lyricist of her lover, and the two became the enviable "divine eagle heroes" in the future music scene.
With the help of his lover, Lu Guanting's career also began to flourish. In the case that the music world was "contracted" by Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang, he found another way out of his own music road. In 1984, he did the music design for the film "Urban Love", and in the same year, he also made a cameo appearance as a driver in "The Secret Order of the Empress of best drag". I thought it would take some time to get ahead, but 1985's "Half Love" directly made him famous, only because the theme song he composed for the film, "Happy Honest Man", was well received by people in the industry.
Since then, he has flourished in the music scene, acting has become his entertainment project, and composing theme songs and soundtracks for films has become his primary job. Even films such as the "Gambler" series "Whole Deception" series starring Xingye have his own handwriting, and it can be said that the success of Zhou Xingchi is inseparable from the existence of Lu Guanting. It is worth mentioning that the "God of Gamblers" starring Zhou Runfa was also a music design he made, and he designed a domineering appearance music for the God of Gamblers The rhythm that complements the characters is refreshing.
As his fame grew, even the "godfather of music" Li Zongsheng came to Lu Guanting, such as "With Love" and "Like the Wind Past" that have been handed down to this day, which are all from his and his wife's hands. There is such a big man in the music world, I think a director should not let go, Liu Zhenwei, who filmed "Journey to the West" with Stephen Chow in 1994, is one of them. He invited Lu Guanting and his wife to Yinchuan and told them this love story that had not borne fruit for five hundred years. Although Liu Zhenwei spoke for several hours, Lu Guanting only heard the phrase "love that has not borne fruit for 500 years", and goosebumps suddenly rose.
On the plane back, he completed the composition, and his wife Tang Shuchen also followed closely behind, and the next day they also completed the filling in the words, and they worked together to create the insurmountable classic "Love of a Lifetime". And Zhou Xingchi also had a feeling after hearing the song, changed the previous nonsensical performance, and ended the five-hundred-year love legend with the deep feeling in the main play. At the same time, according to Luo Jiaying, the "only you" he sang in the film was also taught by Lu Guanting to sing sentence by sentence through headphones.
Lu Guanting, who has dedicated so many classics to the music scene, has also paid a price. Lu Guanting at work is a typical workaholic, for a work can be three days of sleepless to the computer, in the long run he contracted a strange disease suffered from chemical sensitivity, severe when he would burn his chest and ear paralysis, in order to raise his body He and his wife chose to retire from the music scene. Although in retirement, Lu Guanting and his wife's enthusiasm for music is still undiminished, and they still spend a lot of time every day to study music.
Until 22 years after "Love of a Lifetime" was created, the 66-year-old Lu Guanting put on the guitar and erhu ensemble, giving this classic song a different charm, he sang the vicissitudes of life with his voice washed out of lead, and completely conquered the public with the charm of the music itself, since then " Love of a Lifetime" no longer needs to borrow the east wind of Xingye and "Journey to the West" and has become a well-deserved classic song. After that, there were also many cover versions, but Lu Guanting said bluntly, "The version I sang is the best"!
In most of Lu Guanting's famous songs, the lyricist is his lover Tang Shuchen, who often says: "Without a wife, there is no me, the wife ranks first, and the music ranks second", if Lu Guanting did not meet Tang Shuchen at that time, maybe he would have many classic works, but there will certainly be no "Love of a Lifetime", so I wish Lu Guanting to take care of his body at the same time, but also wish him a happy family.
