When Wang Jie became popular, there were no four kings in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
He once said that the four heavenly kings in his mind were Tan Yonglin, Xu Guanjie, Zhang Guorong, and Xu Xiaofeng.
However, at that time, the competition between Cheung Kwok Wing and Tan Yonglin had entered the end, because one of them announced that they would no longer accept the award, and the other announced that they would say goodbye to the music scene.
Therefore, the period of competition for supremacy in the Hong Kong entertainment industry was from 1989 to 1991, when Wang Jie returned to Hong Kong in Taiwan to win many awards with a song "Who Knows the Heart of the Prodigal Son", and since then he has begun to hit the charts as a prodigal singer in the song world.
It's just a pity that Wang Jie's luck is a little worse, he did not get selected as one of the four heavenly kings in 1992, perhaps because of his low-key personality and other reasons.
Even so, when Wang Jie talks about the past of that year, he will always mention one person, that is, Zhang Guorong.
When Wang Jie was in Hong Kong, he was taken care of by Zhang Guorong everywhere and received a lot of help.
Every time he performs, as long as Zhang Guorong is present, because he is the biggest card, he can stand in the middle, and Wang Jie, who has always been weak in character, will always shrink to the side.
When Zhang Guorong found out, he would always pull him to the middle.
Zhang Guorong said, you don't have to hide in the corner, you have to stand in the middle, otherwise how can people find you?
Therefore, the first person Wang Jie should be grateful for in this life is Zhang Guorong.
After Zhang Guorong's death, every year Wang Jie always looked at a photo in a daze, and he remembered that the person had loved him so much.
Therefore, the four heavenly kings in Wang Jie's heart should put Zhang Guorong in the first place.
In addition, Tan Yonglin, who fought with Zhang Guorong for hegemony, definitely belonged to one of the four heavenly kings.
Moreover, Tan Yonglin debuted earlier than Zhang Guorong, as early as the 60s had formed a band, wen na band won the Golden Needle Award, Wang Jie was not yet popular.
After flying solo, Tan Yonglin first made a movie for a period of time and won a Golden Horse Award.
Subsequently, he began to really exert his strength in the music scene in the 80s, which also led to the later Tan Zhang hegemony.
Although there is competition from these powerful singers such as Chen Baiqiang and Mei Yanfang, the most brilliant and shining is still Zhang Guorong and Tan Yonglin.
From the above, it can be seen that Wang Jie believes that Tan Yonglin is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and he is not talking about it casually.
In addition, there is Xu Guanjie who also belongs to the Four Heavenly Kings, and there is no problem with this statement.
When Tan Yonglin first debuted, he worked hard with Xu Guanjie as an idol.
In the 1970s, Hui Guanjie pioneered the trend of Cantonese pop music with a song "Tower Over the Clouds" and is the originator of Cantonese songs in Hong Kong.
The songs he sings fully reflect the normal life of the small people in the city, so they are very easy to be loved by fans.
By 1985, he won the Golden Needle Award, the highest honor in the music industry, and when he was canonized, Zhang Guorong and others were just red.
Among the four heavenly kings that Wang Jie believes, the only female singer is Xu Xiaofeng.
Although Mei Yanfang was also a super powerful female singer at that time, she was still much worse than Xiao Fengjie.
Xu Xiaofeng has debuted in 1969 and has classic songs such as "Down the Current", "Caprice", "Wind and Rain on the Same Road", "Season of the Wind" and so on.
Many debut singers like to sing Xu Xiaofeng's songs, and in the eyes of newcomer singers, Xiao Fengjie is a superstar idol and the object of their worship.
Andy Lau and Zhou Runfa will kneel down to salute when they see Miss Xiaofeng, just like Rowan, listening to her concert is an elegant enjoyment.
To sum up, there was no problem with the Four Heavenly Kings in Wang Jie's heart.
But the four of them belonged to different periods of time, and their ages were not the same, and they could not be compared to seal the four heavenly kings.
