In recent days, the news of the four kings of Hong Kong has been constantly brushing the screen. But then again, the Four Heavenly Kings, if they are a little windy, will immediately make headlines.
In the entertainment circle like quicksand, too many people are fleeting, but they have achieved a myth of immortality.
On December 9, jacky Cheung, the god of song, held a concert in Shenzhen and encountered Wang Feng, who was half of the song world.
This narrow road encounter ignited a big discussion among netizens about the "Jacky Cheung and Wang Feng pk concert box office", and the final outcome can be imagined.
On December 14, after being injured in a fall from a horse, Andy Lau, who rarely moved, received an honorary doctorate from Shue Yan University in Hong Kong.
I can't imagine that Liu Tianwang, who works hard like a cow in the entertainment industry, is still a full-fledged school bully.
Earlier, someone broke the news. This year's most eye-catching Golden Needle Award in the Hong Kong music scene will be awarded to Dawn.
As soon as the news was released, it immediately stirred up a thousand waves.
The Golden Needle Award is the supreme honor and hall award of the Hong Kong music scene. Like the song god Xu Guanjie, the queen of heaven Xu Xiaofeng, Teresa Teng, The Song Yin Lin Zixiang, the four great emperors Tan Yonglin, Zhang Guorong, Mei Yanfang, Chen Baiqiang and others have all been obtained.
Jacky Cheung, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, also earned the Golden Needle Award as early as 17 years ago.
More critically, the hottest candidate for the Golden Needle Award has been focusing on Andy Lau. Do you all remember Dawn's famous saying that "no one can lose to Andy Lau"?
Previously, Liu Tianwang and Li Tianwang had previously expressed their refusal of the Golden Needle Award, and this palace honor that will be revealed this year, I don't know who will spend it?
However, the probability of generating between Andy Lau and Dawn, the two heavenly kings, is still quite large.
Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Li Ming, Aaron Kwok, the honorific titles of the four kings of Hong Kong, have been used for nearly 30 years from the formation of the army to the present, and their influence has spread to the entire Greater China region.
Their influence is so great that they even overpower hong Kong TVB, Flying Tigers, Hong Kong Sister Beauty Pageant and Vidalia Bay, becoming the first cultural symbol of Hong Kong, and representing almost the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry at its peak.
If it comes to the influence of the music world, among the four heavenly kings, Jacky Cheung is far ahead of the dust, and the history of his title of "God of Song" is almost as old as the name of the four heavenly kings.
At the 1992 Hong Kong Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, Yu Zheng, the head of the commercial platform at the time, spoke highly of him as "the successor of the god of song in the 90s".
Jacky Cheung also lived up to expectations, becoming the best-selling singer in the Chinese world in the 90s, and a "Kiss Goodbye" sales volume won the global runner-up, only subordinated to the pop king Michael Jackson, which is considered to be the respect of the god of song.
(Golden Needle Award: Tam Wing Lin 1996 / Mui Yanfang 1998 / Cheung Kwok Wing 1999 / Jacky Cheung 2000)
Even the Golden Needle Award was awarded to him early, allowing him to join tan yonglin, Mui Yanfang, and Zhang Guorong, the emperor's team, which clearly meant that he wanted to distance himself from the other three heavenly kings.
Among the three kings of Andy Lau, Dawn and Aaron Kwok, the dance king Aaron Kwok is relatively weak, and it can be seen at the major music awards ceremonies in the 90s that Andy Lau and Dawn are equal opponents.
At the beginning of the "canonization of the gods" of the four heavenly kings, it was because the Hong Kong music scene experienced the Tan Zhang controversy and the "Thousand Nights Controversy" (Mui Yanfang's Sunset Song and Chen Huixian's Thousand And One Thousand Que Songs), the veteran superstar withdrew from the award ceremony of the song world, and Hong Kong talents did not pick up.
Coinciding with the crossing of the river by a number of Taiwanese singers such as Qi Qin, Wang Jie, Tong Ange, Zhou Huajian, etc., in the face of the situation of non-local singers coming to "encircle the land", the Hong Kong music scene took advantage of the trend to launch the four heavenly kings to compete with Taiwanese singers such as Qi Wang Tong Zhou.
Therefore, the top resources of the Hong Kong music scene are also preferentially enjoyed by this small group.
Jacky Cheung was born as a singer in the 1980s and was already a regular at major awards ceremonies that year.
At the 1985 Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, he sat down with Jackie Chan after receiving the award, watching Lin Zixiang take a breath of true breath and face tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong, the two emperors.
When Jacky Cheung first debuted, he was regarded as a rising star in the Hong Kong music scene with Lu Fang, and the two held concerts together in the Red Pavilion, and after the momentum grew, Jacky Cheung held 6 concerts in the Red Pavilion alone.
Judging from the various indicators and achievements of Zhang Geshen in the Hong Kong music scene in the 1980s, when Tam Wing Lin and Cheung Kwok Wing dominated the song world, Jacky Cheung was already ranked as a quasi-first-class singer.
Let's take a look at The "Enemy of the Century" of Andy Lau and Dawn.
Andy Lau TVB five tigers, he and Liang Chaowei, Huang Rihua, Miao Qiaowei, Tang Zhenye were all small students in the TV circle, after getting acquainted with GeYin Lin Zixiang, Bai Lin Zixiang as a teacher, into the music world.
Liu Tianwang is a typical acting and singing, and in the early days, Liang Chaowei and him had a road number, and also worked hard in the song world for several years, and then went back to be a film emperor with peace of mind.
Andy Lau began to release records across borders in the 80s, but has not aroused too much splash, fortunately, Liu Tianwang has a tenacity, unremitting singing until 1990, and finally with "Can Not" shortlisted for the top ten Chinese golden songs, it is a status recognition.
Dawn is also a talent singer. In 1986, Dawn participated in the fifth rookie singing competition and won the third place, and the runner-up in front of him was Xu Zhi'an. Further ahead, the previous winners of this competition are Mei Yanfang, Lü Fang, Zhang Weijian and Du Dewei.
Further back, Zheng Xiuwen, Eason Chan, and Miriam Yang can also be regarded as his brothers and sisters. Great, that year's draft, compared with the current fast men and women, is really strong.
When he competed, Dawn designed a small action to make himself stand out: put the shirt on his shoulders, deliberately fell to the ground, and then leaned over to pick up the clothes. The mind of the Heavenly King is indeed delicate!
Like Faye Wong, Li Ming came from Beijing and studied singing under the Hong Kong godfather Dai Sicong, but he did not have the influence of a musical atmosphere since he was a child.
Huaxing Records and rookie competition bundle marketing, the contestants out of the artists have to sign Huaxing, Dawn is no exception, but in front of him there is a large number of champion brothers and sisters, a year stubble, how to count his round this third place.
Later, under the mediation of his mentor Dai Sicong, Dawn switched to Poly Gold Records, and finally survived until the first day. However, the road is narrow, and Andy Lau and his front and back feet, also signed a contract with PolyGon.
In front of them there is also an older qualification jacky Cheung, and the people play the Tao in Poly Gold. Well, the four kings of Hong Kong, the Polygram family occupies three seats, how good is this record company, and we will write articles in the later stage.
Above the three heavenly kings, Bao Lijin also had ancient gods such as Xu Guanjie and Tan Yonglin, and the tiger was on the dragon disk. However, the 90s belonged to the era of the four kings, and they became the object of the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Some people are happy and some people are worried, and if the three heavenly kings get good resources, some people will get bad resources, or even get resources.
The more tragic ones are Li Keqin and Huang Kaiqin, both of whom are also very powerful lords, but they can't fight for Jacky Cheung, and they meet the two great handsome men of Dawn and Andy Lau.
Because of the unfair allocation of resources by PolyGram, Li Keqin and Huang Kaiqin fled one after another, Li Keqin was originally on a par with Andy Lau and Li Ming in the momentum, but Aaron Kwok combed a small head from Taiwan to Hong Kong, kicking him out of the sequence of the four heavenly kings.
In the early 90s, when the four heavenly kings were just starting out, between Andy Lau and Dawn, who was more popular and who was more handsome?
Consulted a few people who came over, and agreed that the dawn of those days was a mess, and the fire was not unwanted! The peak of appearance is simply seconds!
Of course, it is not to say that Liu Tianwang is not handsome, not hot, and does not have the slightest meaning of depreciation, as far as the matter is concerned, Liu Tianwang belongs to the thin water and long flow type, and has been handsome for decades.
Next, throughout the 90s music awards ceremony, Andy Lau and Dawn, the two kings, were almost equally divided.
In 1999, Dawn was the first of the four kings to withdraw from the music awards ceremony, and subsequently, Jacky Cheung also announced his withdrawal. Liu Tianwang struggled in the music scene for another 10 years.
What is more face-slapping is that after Jacky Cheung withdrew, he immediately received the honorary certification of the Golden Needle Award.
Next, let's see which of Andy Lau and Dawn, between the two Heavenly Kings, won the Golden Needle Award first!
