In the 1990s, the Hong Kong music scene of Zhang Guorong and Tam Wing Lin were equally divided, and the two swept the major awards, and the competition once reached a white-hot stage. Fans on both sides are in a whirlpool, and the water and fire are intolerable. Since then, as Zhang Guorong gradually faded out of the singing circle and turned to the film world, announcing that he would no longer participate in any awards, the "Tan-Lee Controversy" began to fade, and the Hong Kong music scene entered the era of "Four Heavenly Kings".

The four kings of the Hong Kong music scene are recognized as the best singers are Jacky Cheung, and in the 90s, He Yong in the Three Masters of Magic Rock once angrily attacked the four kings of Hong Kong, believing that only one Jacky Cheung could sing. Wong Ka-ju, the lead singer of beyond, also said in an interview that there is no music scene in Hong Kong, only the entertainment industry. Whether it is Aaron Kwok, who is known as the "King of Asian Dance", or Dawn from Beijing, or Andy Lau, who is the most handsome in his youth, his singing skills are very weak.

Music is the product of the packaging of the record company, in addition to Jacky Cheung, the other three kings of the Hong Kong music scene, although they have no singing skills, attract a large number of fans with the fact that the record company invites excellent songwriters, exquisite packaging, and then invites the advertising company to market.
At the end of the 1990s, the creative power of the Hong Kong music scene gradually lacked, and Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok and Li Ming successively shifted the main line of their careers to film.
Jacky Cheung and Li Ming have both starred in films directed by Chen Kexin. In the song and dance movie "If Love", Jacky Cheung sang and acted, and his partner with Zhou Xun and Jin Chengwu was not at all inferior. Dawn has starred in "Sweet Honey" directed by Chen Kexin, and "Sweet Honey" is one of Chen Kexin's most outstanding works, which starred Dawn as a young man from Beijing who came to Hong Kong to struggle. Playing against Maggie Cheung, Dawn's performance is slightly childish, but for a singer, it is already remarkable.

Aaron Kwok has long been involved in film shooting, but the real recognition of acting skills was when filming the movie "Three Forks". These three singers of the king level of the music industry have excellent film works, but Andy Lau has more excellent works than the above three, and Miss Ben has always spoken with data.

Andy Lau is a well-known "labor model" in the show business circle, and has starred in countless movies. 21 years ago, Andy Lau won the 19th Hong Kong Film Award for his wonderful performance in "Dark War" directed by Du Qifeng. Since then, he has won the 23rd Hong Kong Film Awards for "Big Man with Great Wisdom", "Infernal Affairs 3: The Ultimate Infinity" won the 41st Taipei Golden Horse Actor, and "Sister Peach" won the 48th Taipei Golden Horse Actor. In addition to receiving so many awards recognized for his acting skills, Andy Lau also actively cultivates film newcomers. Ning Hao, who entered the mainstream vision with "Crazy Stone", was excavated by Andy Lau's New Talent Training Fund. In addition to cultivating new talents, Andy Lau also starred in public welfare "abduction" movies such as "Lost Orphans" without remuneration. Judging from the award data, Andy Lau has the best acting skills among the four kings of the Hong Kong music scene.
