Different life experiences sing different song scenes, and Chen Huixian and Mei Yanfang's "Dispute of a Thousand Nights" is doomed to this result.
In the 1980s, the Hong Kong music scene was the era of stars competing for supremacy and immortal fighting, the most concerned male stars was Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong's "Tan Zhang Zhengba", and the most dazzling female stars were Mui Yanfang and Chen Huixian's "Queen of Heaven" competition.
A "Thousand Thousand Que Song" sounded, presumably the memories in everyone's hearts will be instantly recalled, that year, known as the "Princess of Hong Kong Music" Chen Huixian launched the "Thousand Thousand Que Song", just with the queen of the song world Mui Yanfang's "Sunset Song" to compete for TVB's Hong Kong Top Ten Songs Golden Song and the Most Popular Female Singer These 2 awards.
Interestingly, these 2 songs are different lyrics of the same song, both adapted from the "Sunset Song" by Japanese singer Makoto Kondo, and the moods displayed by different singers are also different.
A song causes two divas to compete, and the reason for this situation is because both are born singers, but they have different experiences.
First, "Princess of Hong Kong Music" Chen Huixian
In today's words, Chen Huixian's voice is a natural singer who appreciates food and eats
In 1965, Known as the "Princess of Hong Kong", Chan Wai-hsien was born in Hong Kong and lived in her grandmother's house for family reasons.
At the age of three, the talented Chen Huixian only listened to "The Flower Girl" in the playground a few times to sing it to her uncle, who exclaimed genius after listening to it.
However, Chen Huixian's parents were both intellectuals and held important positions in the immigration department, and they did not agree with the road of singing, and there was also such a concept on the road after Chen Huixian. The brilliant Chan understood her parents' expectations at an early age.
When she was in elementary school, Xiao Chen Huixian was very playful and her academic performance was not good, and her parents saw this and took her back from her grandmother's house.
Under the supervision of her parents, Xiao Chen Huixian found that as long as she learned well her parents, she would be very happy, that is, at this time, Chen Huixian fell in love with learning, coupled with the good voice of God's reward, Xiao Chen Huixian expected to become a representative of the recitation team, as long as she participated, she could win the award.
Chen Huixian, whose voice talent is getting better and better, has been invited to sing since junior high school, and has often been invited to sing by various schools, and her fame has also increased day by day.
In 1983, Chen Huixian, who was excavated by the star scouts, conquered the masters present in the studio with a loud and penetrating voice, and three of them also specially jointly opened a company to sign her, the three were the ghost star scout Zhao Runqin, the recording master Li Zhenquan, and the music genius Angus.
In August 1984, Chen Huixian released her first solo album "The Feeling of Story", which reached platinum sales.
Among them, the title song "Love in the Glass Window" is a good result of winning the annual single title.
A year and a half after her debut, her self-titled album "Chen Huixian" and her third album "Rebellion" have reached three platinum sales, becoming a diva is just around the corner, but things are often unsatisfactory, and Chen Huixian, who is star-studded in front of her, is once again constrained by her parents.
It was said before that Chen Huixian's parents are intellectuals, and they don't like singing and acting, so the more popular Chen Huixian's music scene is, the more unhappy her parents are, and they still make an appointment with her, and after singing for three years, they must complete their studies.
Second, Mei Yanfang, the queen of the music scene, the queen of social experience
Different from Chen Huixian's family, when she was a child, Mei Yanfang's family was in difficulty, she and her sister began to perform on stage to subsidize the family, people who used to sing in Hong Kong were not respected, they were called "singer girls", after going to school, many classmates and family members prevented classmates from interacting with Mui Yanfang, from childhood to face a variety of complex environments to go out to perform, but also to bear the burden of the family, and the school is often isolated.
Growing up in such an environment, Mei Yanfang thought more mature and sensible than children of the same age, and was more self-reliant and self-reliant than anyone, making people feel strong and domineering on the outside, so that there was a title of "big sister" in the Hong Kong showbiz circle.
In 1982, Mei Yanfang, who had a lot of acting experience, easily won the championship with a song "Season of the Wind" when participating in the rookie competition, and launched her first album "Heart Debt" in the same year to officially enter the music scene. From 1985 to 1989, she won the "Most Popular Female Singer" in Hong Kong's Top Ten Songs for five consecutive years.
Among them, the most eye-catching and controversial award was the "Most Popular Female Singer" in 1989, because another female singer Chen Huixian, who was equal to her, was also competing for this award, which was later known as the "Battle of a Thousand Nights".
When it comes to controversy, it's not just because their songs come from
Adapted from Japanese singer Makoto Kondo's "Sunset Song" (with different lyrics in the same song), it is also because the time of their release before and after is less than half a month.
What is even more puzzling is that Chen Huixian's "Thousand and One Songs" was released and sold for 350,000 copies, and Mei Yanfang's "Sunset Song" was only 200,000 copies, just looking at this data, people thought that the most popular female singer of the year must be Chen Huixian's, but the award was Mei Yanfang who got the "most popular female singer", and many people called it magical.
Many people say that the reason why Chen Huixian did not get it is because there is no Social Experience and Connections of Mei Yanfang, the "Princess of Hong Kong Music" is invincible to the "Queen of the Music World", and Chen Huixian, who passed by the award, announced her temporary retirement from the music scene, which made the public believe it. In fact, many years later, Chen Huixian recalled that she temporarily retired from the singing scene because of the completion of her academic agreement with her parents.
Nowadays, Mei Yanfang has been classified as a heavenly person, Chen Huixian's heart is like stopping water and returning to plain, how the truth of that year, we do not have to investigate deeply, two talented singers with different experiences, leaving us with so many classic works and good memories, is not a kind of wealth.
