Hong Kong Music Century Review (5) Cantonese Songs heyday - the rise of bands and Tan Cheung

author:The style blossoms and the same thing

At the 1986 Carlsberg Festival in Hong Kong, the band RAIDIS won a grand prize for the song "Smoking Woman". Suddenly, the reason for the attention was that after the first wave of bands disbanded, the band trend tended to be sluggish. RAIDIS was the first band to surface in a decade after the band trend caused by Wenner cooled down.

    Since then, many bands that have been active underground have begun to make large-scale appearances, public performances or albums, and the second band trend in Hong Kong has begun. This time, the band is almost all singing their own works, although the style is still influenced by Europe and the United States, but it has been very localized. Therefore, speaking of this band trend, Beyon D's Huang Jiaju is very proud: "This time is not imitation, not the revival of the band trend, but a real revolution!" “

Today's Fire Beyond wasn't the best in the 1980s and 1990s!

    Since the beginning of 1986, the Hong Kong music scene has been very lively: the already famous Tam Wing Lin and the increasingly imposing Cheung Kwok Wing have become popular on various occasions. Sometimes, fans on both sides just tear each other's idol's posters. When the conflict is intense, the two sides will even really fight, and someone will be injured every time. At the award ceremony, as long as one person wins the award, the fans of the other person will definitely cheer loudly. This conflict continued until 1987, when Tam announced that she would not accept the award in the future.

At the awards party, Tan Yonglin said these words, and the fans in the audience were also trying to retain!

    Many people later discussed: Why are fans so impulsive? The answer is actually very simple - fans map their pursuit of life to idols, and when they make trouble, they are not only for the reputation of idols, but also for their own glory and dreams.

    For such a situation, the singer who is in it also has a bitter word. Therefore, Zhang Guorong can only sing "Who Resonates"!

    At the 1987 Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, Tan Yonglin suddenly announced that he would bid farewell to the podium. The stage suddenly exploded, and all tan yonglin fans shouted together: It was forced by Zhang Guorong! At that time, Zhang Guorong was extremely embarrassed. Two years later, Zhang Guorong also announced his retirement from the music scene very suddenly, and more thoroughly than Tan Yonglin - he said that he would not even sing songs since then. On the day he announced that he would not accept the award from now on, Tan Yonglin sang "Wordless Gratitude" with great emotion: "The years have passed silently... Say a word of true love for you, get I will continue to forge ahead..."

For the result of Zhang Tan's struggle for hegemony, it is really three words "unavoidable"!

    Many authoritative music critics say that there are only three songs that are really worth paying attention to in the music scene in 1987: Lin Zixiang's "100 Billion Nights", Jacky Cheung's "Sun and Stars", and Daming's "Stone Record".

    "Stone Record" is the theme song of the drama of the same name, based on "Dream of the Red Chamber", which expresses the sentimentality, loss and ethereal spirit of classical Chinese literature extremely cleverly. After winning the "Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Award" that year, the Daming faction became the most successful one in the band's trend, and began to publish a series of wonderful albums that explored local people's feelings, politics and emotions, leaving countless wonderful works. The Tammy school is the best band to combine song connotation, musical form, vocal processing and commercial success, and their achievements have entered the annals of Hong Kong pop music.
