Today's two of the heaviest news stories are very sad:
The fire of Notre Dame Cathedral that has stood for more than 800 years, the collapse of the spire... All mankind weeps for it...
The second is that the marriage of the singer Xu Zhian and Zheng Xiuwen, who have been reunited for more than eight years, is facing a serious crisis, because the media broke the video of Xu Zhian stealing food, and the heroine is also the girlfriend of TVB actor Ma Guoming who is ready to talk about marriage:
Judging from the breaking news, it is obvious that the video taken by the taxi driver's car surveillance:
▲ The funniest thing is that the Hong Kong media also very intimately counted how many times the two kissed and hugged (and finally calculated that there were more than 20 kisses in the 16-minute video)...
Hong Kong media laughed and said that this is the product of the retaliation of the taxi driver because he could not buy Zheng Xiuwen's ticket?
Obviously, it is a couple of men and women who have their own love affair, the girl will not say, but Xu Zhian is 51 years old, it is difficult to get married at the age of 43, and the result is that this file is also troubled...
At exactly 7 o'clock tonight, Xu Zhian held a press conference as promised, sobbed incessantly, and stated the reason for the incident: "I did drink a lot of wine that day... I reflect on why I can't control myself... It will be this color center. ”
▲ 5 minutes of the press conference Xu Zhian said after crying and left, the on-site reporters all complained that "even the sound of bye-bye does not speak." Of course, about "what is the reaction of Mrs. Zheng Xiuwen", "will you call the police" (after all, this is the taxi driver without the permission of the person concerned to expose the news to the media) and the rumor that Xu Huang and the two have been secretly hooking up for a long time, etc., and Xu Sheng, who has been "broken", did not give any response...
In fact, there are many men and women who steal love, but the most embarrassing thing about making such a file is not Xu Zhian and Huang Xinying, but Zheng Xiuwen, who has thousands of fans.
After a generation of songs facing such a bloody situation, how should they respond? How will it respond?
It's all unknown.
After all, a month ago, the two people also accepted the tea poured by the junior as elders, and SAMMI also issued a moving marriage speech...
It can only be said that life is cruel, until the last moment, you don't know what will happen...
We will have continued attention to this matter...
Say something fun.
It is said that spring has arrived, and various talent shows have been blown and born again, including "Creation Camp 2019" that gathers the hearts of cute girls with various types of small fresh meat, and "I am a singer-songwriter" that listens to good songs.
But after watching so many talent shows, I still think that a talent show from more than ten years ago can make me taste it the most, and it is the "Cruel Ding" that the whole city enjoys.
I think that when it was broadcast that year, the TV of thousands of people in the alley, all the tea houses, restaurants, and commissaries on the street were locked to TVB in advance. Men, women and children laughed and "burst their mouths", and the players who finished the broadcast became the hot words in the city.
▲ Seeing the eight words "the whole city is happy, cruel and ding", I heard the original melody in my ears and couldn't help but sing it.
How amazing is this talent show?
Take you through time to see how the various immortals and monsters of that year cast their own spells, and see the strange changes of Hong Kong citizens.
At the beginning of 2005, TVB was based on "American Idol" and adapted into a talented performance singing competition program "Cruel One Ding", and the first and second series invited Li Keqin and Liang Rongzhong to host.
The best thing is that this talent show in the name of singing actually does not intend to dig up any folk singers.
Here, never talk to you about dreams, never dig the story behind it, and all that can be left is fun. The more it went, the more crooked it became, and it became a Hong Kong strange digging competition.
▲ In the first episode, some contestants thought that this was a singing program, and sang seriously, but the host was diss said, if you only sing, you can actually send the recording directly to us, if you sing well, please participate in the rookie, do not have to come here. Cruelly and realistically revealing the theme of this show, come here, the most urgent pleasure.
The rules of the show are simple and crude, and the contestants sing from the beginning until they are eliminated by the host "ding". If you perform on stage for a second, you can earn one hundred Hong Kong dollars, and the contestant with the longest performance time becomes the winner.
Completely zero threshold, high returns, a million profit business is more attractive than the current micro-business, so it has attracted Hong Kong citizens to rub their fists and participate in unison.
▲ In each episode, two security brothers come with a full cash withdrawal from the bank, one hundred per second, and the colorful banknotes shake the audience's eyes.
The contestants also "lived up to the expectations of the host", and went farther and farther on the road of part-time other performances in addition to singing, singing and dancing, which is the basic operation.
Guan Haoyang of the "Latin Huo Qigang" won the first performance with his flexible and enchanting dance posture.
In addition to professional dancers, there are also "dance forest masters" hidden in the city.
The "dance sweeping monk" who can usually walk the street and sing Andy Lau's "Forgetting Love Water" has become a unique landscape on the streets of Hong Kong through the expression of lyrics through a twisted body.
▲ Through the twisted body, it shows the pain of unsentimental emotion, which has the charm of modern dance. Paired with a meticulous suit, it brings us into the pain of the average office worker after falling out of love. According to his own introduction, singing while walking is also part of his performance, and this is how he usually practices songs on the street.
Not only to add plot to the dance, but also to spend some thought on the costumes, such as the "PHONE Killing Order" sung by this Kelly boy in front of Kelly's sister Chen Huilin.
▲ Just heard the children to cover their own songs, Chen Huilin's sister smiled so brightly, did not expect that the good drama is still to come.
Mixing with Dongying's kimono, the elements of the samurai sword and integrating into Hong Kong's "big ear hole" debt collection culture, expressing the ban on love, making Li Keqin laugh to tears, Chen Huilin saw the heartbreak.
▲ Seeing halfway, Chen Huilin even had the inability to manage her expression and saw her face distorted.
Singing her song in front of Chen Huilin's own figure, and preparing so carefully, in fact, Kelly Boy has a lot of courage and sincerity.
Like this "precocious" gentleman who sang "Big Day" without emotion, he did not care about the feelings of Chen Huilin's Buddha-figure.
▲ The most amazing thing about "Big Day" sung by this gentleman is that he can do every second without being on the beat, and every sound is inseparable from the original song, and chen Huilin's song is re-adapted. He said that "Cruel Bite" had only one simple wish, proving that he really couldn't sing to show his family. Meeting this kind of cover singer is really every singer's nightmare.
In addition to dancing, the integration of kung fu, acrobatics, magic and other talents is also another way out.
This "Super Saiyan" adheres to the spirit of buying one and getting two free, singing, playing hula hoops, and flying cards in a hurry.
The costume style is quite meaningful, and there is a "brave" and nail-worn "lice killing hero" on the stomach, which is very postmodern Zhou Xingchi's feeling.
And in his busy performance, he did not forget to cos "Super Saiyan", and finally leaped down from the stage, and the handsome Ending Pos received a lot of applause from the audience.
Unfortunately, the handsome is only 3 seconds, and he can only climb back on the stage. Behind the hero is heartache and embarrassment.
Most of the contestants did their best, only to win the audience a laugh, turning into a cloud of smoke. But it also surprised the players with their talents and impressed the audience.
South Asian singer king - Joe Baby
At that time, the South Asian singer Qiao Baobao's song "Love Trap", the warm and exaggerated dance steps, the lyrics that could not keep up with the beat, and the Cantonese language that was not salty and not light, became a big laugh of the year.
On the verge of being almost eliminated, his "slippery knees" in a hurry successfully saved the heart of Dodo's sister Zheng Yuling and became the big winner of that issue.
This Indian, who "wants everyone to be part of the Chinese nation" as soon as he came to power, is always asked, "Are you born in Hong Kong?" ”
Baby Joe always had the golden sentence of the answer, "No, in Kowloon." ”
In fact, his profession is very serious, he is a staff member of the Hong Kong Correctional Services Department, and colleagues usually think that he has a desire to perform, so they secretly help him register.
In order to make everyone's eyes shine, Baby Joe gave full play to his own small universe.
▲ Qiao Baobao went to Temple Street to buy a coffee-colored wig, a dragon pattern black shirt printed with Chinese cultural colors, and even more "cleverly" chose The "Love Trap" of Keqin's good friend Tan Yonglin as the first cannon.
The battle became so famous that even the chief executive at the time, Tsang Yam-kuen, who happened to meet him on the subway, shook hands with him, saying that watching his show made him continue to work hard.
The success impressed the majority of Hong Kong citizens, and various performance opportunities such as movies and TV series followed.
▲ At the end of 2005, Qiao Baobao was invited to star in Jackie Chan's big brother movie "Baby Plan", when Qiao Baobao did not hesitate to resign and take over the film, he said: "Wow, who in the world does not know Jackie Chan? Later, Wireless also signed him, and the first play was "Full of Friends". From 2011 to 2012, he played the Indian-American Daisuke Dashi and "Chong Ya! "Thin Payrolls" played the Indian-Hong Konger Sheng Xiaolong and received attention.
Later, in 2013, because the eldest son went to college, the younger son had congenital spinal nerve problems, and could only return to the United Kingdom to take care of the children, temporarily leaving the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Exploding Macho - PHD
In addition to the individual solo solo, the combination is also a way to get out of place.
The explosive male group uses explosive heads, orange uniforms, black shorts, and black-rimmed glasses as their logos, with exaggerated shapes, and the performances are in tune and funny.
It turned out that these four were actually master's students of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and in order to experience and learn from the experience of TV production, they participated in the competition to challenge themselves.
They themselves do not know how to dance, and have been practicing rehearsal for five months, learning to play side flips and create a variety of strange dance steps.
He did not hesitate to cut his hair or even shave off his eyebrows, and drew four inches of thick eyebrows with eyebrow pencils, just to bring joy to the audience.
After the show aired, they also collaborated with Sakura Snow Shower Gel to shoot commercials. Eventually returned to ordinary life, has disappeared in the entertainment circle.
▲ Use four Mediterranean bald men to introduce skin care cheats, introducing cherry snow products with moisturizing, anti-wrinkle, anti-aging and other beauty effects. This cross-border god operation has really not been understood until now.
Young and old - Mo Sheng
In addition to adults, there are also many children's players, and many mothers have signed up for their children to participate in the competition, which is called exercising their guts. "Cruel Ding" has become a childhood shadow for many Hong Kong children.
The most impressive thing for everyone is Mo Kaiqian, who is only six years old but young and old, nicknamed Mo Sheng.
At a young age, he sang Joey Yung's "Habit of Losing Love", and the typhoon was so stylish that even Andy Lau praised it.
After singing, the hosts are very curious about how much love a child has talked about before singing a love song like "Habit of Losing Love".
Mo Sheng, who is a small ghost, said that he had never been in love, and even discussed the definition of lost love with Andy Lau on the spot.
Later, Mo Kaiqian made cameo appearances in several TV series, temporarily retired from the entertainment industry for several years to study seriously, until 2016, as a singer-songwriter, he returned to the entertainment industry.
▲ His first song content is to use the jump rope to bring out the inspirational meaning, encourage people to jump out of the box, break through themselves, the 18-year-old said: "This song and I have resonance, I participated in "Cruel Ding" at the age of 6, after 12 years to the present, maybe everyone's impression of me is still stuck in the childhood singing "Habit Of Lost Love", and now I am 18 years old and want everyone to have a new impression of me. “
Imitation expert - Feng Wenle
In the cruel stage of so many demons and ghosts, passing the level will become the final big winner, which is the imitation expert Feng Wenle.
Feng Wenle played two roles alone, imitating Tan Yonglin and Li Keqin to perform "Left Lin Right Li", which shocked the four seats.
Singing the same song with Ke Qin is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and even the judge Eason Chan can't help but go on stage to imitate the skill.
Even Li Keqin couldn't help but nod his head in approval when he heard it, and marveled that Feng Wenle and his voice position were the same.
Just like seeing Li Keqin's doppelganger, "he sings very beautifully, exactly like me." If it is Feng Wenle on the "Masked Singer King", you must not guess who he is!
Why is it that the people who have sung so well have now disappeared into the vast sea of people?
It turned out that Feng Wenle graduated from the Xinghai Conservatory of Music, and also participated in the Happy Boy after "Cruel Ding", and still imitated it beautifully, but his body shape was ridiculed by the judges.
▲ Unlike "Cruel Bite", fast men choose idols. Feng Jiale appeared in a black "hole suit", which seemed out of place. The on-site judges pointed out that his black hat made him look shorter, and the scene was quite embarrassing.
After participating in the final finals of "Wheat King" in Guangdong Pearl River Terrace, the final finals have not yet begun, and the news that "Hong Kong Ding Wang" Feng Wenle will retire has been hyped up, and it is rumored that he retired in order to help his girlfriend debut.
And many years later, he still eats the old Ben and relies on imitation, going to various places to go to the cave and string the scene. The dream of becoming a singer seemed close to him, but far away.
At that time, the host Liang Rongzhong once pointed out his biggest weakness, Feng Wenle has always imitated various voices, but has never heard his own voice singing.
An artist with a weak degree of recognition is destined to be the sand after the tide, and after the wave, the streamer is the easiest to throw people away.
Feng Wenle's road is very popular and makes money quickly, but it is already doomed to be short-lived.
After recalling so many past events, many funny pictures of "Cruel Ding" seem to reappear in front of our eyes.
Compared with other variety shows, the scene of "Cruel Ding" is not gorgeous, and the contestants sing and dance cannot keep up with the beats of the "car accident scene" in an endless stream.
▲ This international face "Thai version of Michael" sings and dances, and is busy on the stage with Thai papaya salad.
But why do we love it so much, and even be touched by these amateur players, where is "Cruel Bite" good?
First of all, this is one of the most popular talent shows, with all walks of life participating.
There are graduate students from polytechnic universities, there are also illiterate grassroots people, there are old people with gray sideburns, and there are also 6-year-old children. Those contestants, like us, are ordinary people.
Even on a Saturday night, your colleagues may be standing on the stage and accidentally gaining fame and fortune, personally confirming the saying that "everyone has a few minutes in their life to become famous".
Secondly, the nonsensical culture in this show is full of the Hong Kong spirit of entertaining others and entertaining themselves.
From the first episode of the show to the last episode, the host has been reminding everyone that "Cruel Ding" is not a singing competition.
It's more like a funny contest, a nonsensical topic contest. Here some people imitate TWINS, some people imitate Rowan, some people perform acrobatics, some people play kung fu.
▲ "Big Changjin", who collided with Han Hong, sang while singing a big char siu bun
The jokes full of nonsense are intensively released in front of the audience, forming wave after wave of laughter strikes. Let the exhausted audience of life forget themselves and get great relaxation.
After experiencing the financial turmoil and sars crisis, Hong Kong has gone through the joys and uncertainties of life, and the pursuit is no longer the success recognized by the world, but the simplest entertainment for others.
▲ Mo Sheng, who is only six years old, has revealed the true meaning of this show, and everything is just play.
Most importantly, it shows stories about ordinary people who are ordinary and mediocre.
Looking back at the lives of the contestants, even if the stage is brilliant, most people can't grasp the line of fate, still floating and heavy, living an ordinary life.
Ordinary is not not great, they use the brightest colors in life to fill everyone's blank time, burn themselves, and make countless people feel happy.
After living for so many years, Hong Kong Zhen truly feels that life is full of all kinds of cruelty, whether it is the cruelty of being cruel on stage, or the cruelty of being betrayed by a lover behind his back.
It can only be said that none of us can live in fairy tales.
Floating like a dream, no one can escape the "cruel bite", the most testing, or after the "cruel bite", let's make a choice.
Come on SAMMI!
Come on everyone!
