On December 23, 2017, the Shanghai concert was not seen or dispersed.
But Jacky Cheung's debut was not a smooth sailing. Today, Xiaobian will tell you how the god of song is refined, why he is "not old", and what unknown stories does he have?
Second, the first time to enter the music scene
Jacky Cheung was born in Hong Kong in 1961, his father was a seafarer, the income was not much, the family lived a very hard life, but the bad environment did not affect Jacky Cheung's interest in music. Later, at a concert, Jacky Cheung said: "In fact, the Beijing music I came into contact with when I was a child was Peking Opera, and I think there is a big difference between Beijing music and Hong Kong music, and Western European music." ”
This shows that Jacky Cheung was very enthusiastic about music when he was a child, and he was a must-have in the school singing activities, and then after graduating from high school, Jacky Cheung participated in the work, first as a clerk in the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, and then transferred to the airline, anyway, it has nothing to do with singing. It is said that the job is stable, the income is not low, Jacky Cheung intends to continue to do it, but an accident in 1984 changed his life.
That year, Hong Kong held the first eighteen district amateur singer competition, because it is the first, the number of people registered is particularly large, more than 20,000 people, but it, although the activity is very loud, but at first Jacky Cheung did not move, and then things changed a little, there is a friend who wants to participate, pull him as a companion, well, then accompany you to play.
So what happened to the game? Let's first take a look at the picture of the god of song when he first debuted.
At that time, Jacky Cheung had a green face and sang very devotedly, and what people did not expect was that his investment also conquered the judges in one fell swoop and actually won the championship. This is called having a heart to plant flowers and flowers, and unintentionally planting willows to shade. Originally accompanied by friends to play, actually became a champion and became famous.
And the next thing, it is even more unexpected by Jacky Cheung, the champion of the competition, is a record contract, the world-famous PolyGram Records Company, how is this possible! Who were the people under PolyGram at that time? Tan Yonglin, Teresa Teresa, these people at that time in the eyes of young people, that is also the god of song, you say with these people, can you have no pressure? However, what followed was completely unexpected by Jacky Cheung. The first album was called "Smile", it was Jacky Cheung's first complete album, and after it was done, the disc came out very popular, and many people liked the record, which was a big hit at the time.
The first album actually sold a lot, and it was 200,000 copies at a time, what was the concept of 200,000 copies at that time? At that time, the album sales of first-line singers were almost this number. Jacky Cheung actually became popular as soon as he shot it. Obviously, although it is the first album, Jacky Cheung's interpretation is completely unlike a newcomer, very affectionate and sophisticated. In professional terms, his singing voice gives people a thick and down-to-earth, but also a bit of a warm feeling. And it is this album that laid a solid foundation for Jacky Cheung's style positioning, and since then Jacky Cheung's friendship song has officially appeared in the song world.
Third, the love cause double harvest
Debut on the popular, that should say jacky Cheung's situation at that time, that can only be described in two words, lucky. So is Jacky Cheung always so lucky to come over? At that time, the Hong Kong entertainment industry once rumored that he was an alcoholic, a bad boy, what is going on?
The first few years were really smooth, such as the "Distant Her" is also a classic.
Second album "Distant Her"
This is the end of 1985, the company hit the iron while it was hot, and the second album launched for Jacky Cheung was also very popular, and it also sold 200,000 copies. Then what about next, it is the convention of the entertainment industry, singing and acting well. The movie "Thunderbolt Horn", of course, the first work, he is only a small role, there are not many scenes, but this crossing has once again affected his life.
Movie "Thunderbolt Horn"
Do you know this one below?
Romevi
Jacky Cheung's wife Luo Meiwei, at that time Luo Meiwei was a little red in the Hong Kong film circle, Huang Baiming's "Happy Series" Many friends love to watch, easy and funny is very energetic, at that time Luo Meiwei was a youth idol that Hong Kong young people liked. So how did Jacky Cheung and Luo Meiwei come together? This brings us to Jacky Cheung's second film, "Crazy Me".
Jacky Cheung's second film
At the beginning, Luo Meiwei did not look at Jacky Cheung, according to the plot, the two had to call and make love, but one may be that Luo Meiwei did not feel, and the second is that Jacky Cheung is also the first to shoot this kind of scene, very nervous, a scene down actually NG more than ten times, stunned is not filmed well. The director said: You have to think about each other's good, and you must really like each other. Luo Meiwei thought at that time, Jacky Cheung has a good voice, can sing, has a very thin heart, will care about people, and often engages in a little mood. In this way, the two of them really sparked. It is said that later in the filming of the hug scene, the director shouted "card" several times, and the two have been reluctant to separate, which is really good.
From 1984 to 1985, two years after his debut, Jacky Cheung can be described as smooth sailing, the record is a big seller, and he is involved in movies and embraces the beauty of the return, then Jacky Cheung's mood is a word "cool".
Fourth, the trough of life
But in 1988, Jacky Cheung suddenly fell from the sky to the ground, and became an alcoholic, a bad youth in the eyes of the media. Sales of the third album declined markedly. The fourth one is almost difficult. The audience will think that you Jacky Cheung is this style, a little tired. This is the cruelty of the market. Compared with the previous smooth sailing, the current Jacky Cheung is confused, confused, painful, somehow to face, often drink, there is a famous bar in Hong Kong, Lan Kwai Fong, Jacky Cheung drinks in the bar every day. This drink, there was an accident, one day in the middle of the night, the drunken Jacky Cheung came out of Lan Kwai Fong, just a fan recognized him, he said a word, this is not Jacky Cheung, how do you drink this virtue, too tasteless. Jacky Cheung, who was drunk at the time, was angry when he heard it, and he clashed with the fans, and was just photographed by the paparazzi. As a result, the negative reports of Jacky Cheung becoming an alcoholic the next day were turned over and over by major newspapers. Immediately after being exposed by the media, at Mei Yanfang's birthday party, the drunken Jacky Cheung threw cake at Mei Gu. Although Jacky Cheung has repeatedly explained that Mei Gu is the person I respect the most, I really did not smash the cake. But at that time, Jacky Cheung had no one to listen to his explanation, because his image had been completely damaged.
The 1988 album "Last Night in a Dream" was Jacky Cheung's worst-selling album.
"Last Night's Dream"
Fifth, start again
What made him return to his true colors, and what was the opportunity that made his career start again?
Once Jacky Cheung came home drunk and found that all the things of his girlfriend Luo Meiwei were missing. Obviously, the woman she loved deeply left him because she couldn't stand his downfall. Luo Meiwei has actually done enough, at that time Luo Meiwei took the youth idol route, but your relationship with Jacky Cheung has been made public, who still regards you as an idol? The film is about to decrease sharply, Jacky Cheung is drunk and comes home drunk, luo Meiwei takes care of him, every day drunk home, who can stand it? Luo Meiwei could only choose to leave.
Jacky Cheung's music path was blocked, so he turned to film and television development, one can solve the problem of living income, and the other is to see if he has any opportunities in movies. Therefore, during that time, Jacky Cheung was very diligent. From 1987 to 1989, Jacky Cheung made a lot of movies, and the most classic "Carmen of Mong Kok" was made at what time. But Jacky Cheung still has one problem that has not been solved, that is, alcohol addiction. At that time, Luo Meiwei knew that Jacky Cheung had perked up, but it was difficult to quit drinking. She asked her friend to bring a sentence to Jacky Cheung, "As long as you quit drinking, I will return to you." Luo Meiwei deeply understands his man, and Jacky Cheung at this time needs a little motivation and needs his love. And this love strengthened Jacky Cheung's will. After that, his life began to come out of the trough.
At the end of 1989, Jacky Cheung released the album "I Only Wish to Love One Person in My Life", and many people know that there was an "earthquake" in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in 1990. Brother Zhang Guorong announced his withdrawal from the music scene, Tan Yonglin announced that he would no longer accept the award, Mui Yanfang announced that he had faded out, and the big figures who wrote the leading Hong Kong music scene had withdrawn, and for a time there was a vacuum in the Hong Kong music market, and people who loved music did not know how to be good, and at this time, a song turned out to be refreshing. "Li Xianglan", do you know how many copies this record sold? Nearly 500,000. And it is precisely because of this that a superstar in the music world who has failed and knows how to cherish it has been officially born.
Sixth, the miracle of the music world
Now, twenty years later, Jacky Cheung has not only not been angry, but has become more and more popular, and has become an insurmountable classic in the hearts of many people! Many people even said that he was not a man but a god, the only person in Hong Kong who did not eat with his face!
