Today, let's talk about some light topics, such as music.
Music is an indispensable thing in our lives, and when we are happy, when we are sad and sad, music is our best companion.
Speaking of the Chinese music scene, I don't know which singers you like the most and which songs do you like the most?
I like Cantonese songs, such as Zhang Guorong's "Ghost of Qiannu", Xu Xiaofeng's "Down the Current", sometimes it is very troublesome to cut songs to find songs, I like to listen to Zhu Mimi's thirteen-minute long skewer "Twelve Minutes more than a string". Is not an instant exposure to age.
This is Zhu Mimi, after the Hong Kong minor song, everyone should be more familiar with her starring in the Chow Sing Chi movie.
The Hong Kong music scene has always been an important part of the Chinese music scene, and for decades, the stars have shone brightly, and there have been many singers who are worth remembering for a lifetime.
Today, we will talk about this Mr. Teddy Robin, who was also popular all over the Xiangjiang River at that time, and now with the passage of time, almost no one has heard of Mr. Teddy Robin.
Talking about the history of the Development of the Hong Kong music scene or the Hong Kong film scene, Teddy Robin is an indispensable figure, because he opened the prelude to the Hong Kong music scene!
Mr. Teddy Robin was born in Guilin, Guangxi, only 1 meter 5, which is not born. Teddy Robin fell off his spine when he was two years old, and he contracted tuberculosis due to tuberculosis bacteria entering the bone, and later his family decided to transfer him from the mainland to Hong Kong for medical treatment, he recalled that the treatment process was very painful, and he still remembers it vividly, since then, his height has been fixed at 1 meter 5.
Teddy Robin, who was disabled by illness, had an inferiority complex from an early age, and only music allowed him to find himself. He formed the band Teddy Robin and Playboy in the 1960s and wrote the songwriting.
This band may not have been heard of, but this is the first band in China composed of all Chinese, which was popular in Southeast Asia that year, allowing the people of Southeast Asia to see the style of Chinese singers for the first time. And his members are amazing, and the Hong Kong music scene is almost always created by them.
For example, the band guitarist Zheng Donghan, PolyGram and the president of Universal Records, established the largest Chinese international music company. Successfully pushed Teresa Teng into the Japanese market, Tan Yonglin, Zhang Guorong, Zhang Guorong, Wen Na Band, Xu Xiaofeng, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Li Ming, Beyond, Faye Wong, grasshopper are all signed artists of his company. Zheng Donghan's son was Zheng Zhongji.
Kwan Wai Lin was a famous Hong Kong producer in the 1980s and was the royal producer of King Tam Wing Lin. Tan's albums at its peak were almost exclusively produced by Kwan Wai Lin.
The Teddy Robin and Playboy Band led by Teddy Robin have a positive catalytic awakening effect on the Hong Kong pop music scene in the confusion and chaos, which is of great significance, and can be said to be the initiator of the Hong Kong music scene. It directly affected The Lotus Band of Xu Guanjie and the Wenna Band of Tan Yonglin. Playboy Is not only the first band in the Hong Kong music scene, but also the first band in the Chinese music scene. Teddy Robin is arguably the first person to shake the rock.
Teddy Robin has released the concept album "Outsider", which is a rare story suite in the Hong Kong pop music scene. Musically, Teddy Robin's song "Point Finger Soldier" should be more well-known, and he also performed at the 15th anniversary party of Hong Kong's return.
Although Xu Guanjie later won the throne of Teddy Robin's song scene, Teddy Robin traveled to Canada for various reasons, and since then opened the prelude to the Cantonese pop music scene, it has to be said that Xu Guanjie's idol is Teddy Robin.
And Teddy Robin also admires Xu Guanjie. Later, in the 1990s, it was learned that Xu Guanjie was not satisfied with the new record company, and he joined hands with Zheng Donghan to establish a new Yibao company to praise Xu Guanjie.
Teddy Robin can be said to have promoted many people, in addition to Xu Guanjie, as well as Tan Yonglin's Wenna band. It also includes Andy Lau and Chow Yun Fat.
When Teddy Robin saw that Andy Lau looked very handsome, he recommended him to the director of "Pretty Girl" and the director of "Caiyun Song". Later, due to investors and other reasons, Andy Lau's role was replaced. And Teddy Robin apologized for the failure of Andy Lau's recommendation, so he used his film and television identity to arrange a role for Andy Lau.
In "Double Dragon Treasure", Teddy Robin arranged a role with a heavy role for Andy Lau, and Andy Lau began the magical road of acting with his brilliant performance. Teddy Robin and Andy Lau sang "True True False" in the movie together with Xu Guanjie and Zhang Guorong's "Silence is Gold". It is known as a symbol of the baton of the new and old eras, and the support of the older generation of artists for the newcomers. When Andy Lau said to Teddy Robin in the movie: "A generation of new people bury the old people." Teddy Robin's heart should also have a lot of emotions!
As a co-founder, he signed singers from New Yibao Company, including Zhang Guorong, Faye Wong, Beyond, Miriam Yeung, Eason Chan, Su Yongkang and others. So far, Chow Yun Fat, Tan Yonglin and Andy Lau are very grateful to Teddy Robin.
Zhang Guorong also covered Teddy Robin's "This is Love" like a tribute to Teddy Robin. Teddy Robin appeared, and Tan Yonglin and Zhong Zhentao, who also belonged to WenNa, would sing for him. Tan Yonglin will only tune for two people in his life, one is Teddy Robin and the other is Xu Guanjie.
Teddy Robin is a hong Kong all-rounder, and there is hardly anyone who can do everything and do so well.
In addition to being an excellent singer, he is also an excellent producer, music composer, actor, director, producer, and producer.
If you mention Hong Kong movies, New Art City cannot be ignored. New Art City ushered in the era of Hong Kong comedy in the 1980s. For example, the Happy Ghost series. At the same time, its subsidiaries also recruited directors such as Wu Yusen, Lin Lingdong, Du Qifeng, etc., and produced classic Hong Kong 80s films such as "The True Colors of Heroes", "Dragon and Tiger Storm", "Ghost of Qiannu", "A Lang Story" and so on.
And Teddy Robin is one of the seven monsters of New Art City. At that time, coinciding with the new wave of Hong Kong films, Teddy Robin took over the production of four high-quality films in one breath, "Point Commander Soldier", "Savior", "Mountain Dog" and "Hu Yue's Story", making him a New Wave hero-like figure.
In addition to being responsible for the soundtrack, Teddy Robin is also responsible for supervising, producing, producing and even directing and acting.
His "I Love the Night", "Children of a Troubled World" and "The Legend of Wesley" are also classics of Hong Kong films. In 1994, the director "Spring River Flower Moon Night" praised newcomers Zheng Jiaying and Chen Yiming. This movie is still the highest-rated film by Zheng Jiaying. His 2018 film "Eight Steps and a Half Joys and Sorrows" is still starring Zheng Jiaying. The feeling of support can be seen.
Director Teddy Robin's "I Love the Night" is called Lin Qingxia's most beautiful film, and the clothes and makeup in it still look amazing to this day. I have to say that Teddy Robin's clothes are really good.
There was a movie at the time, and the director stopped picking for some reason. As an actor, Teddy Robin looked at it, don't direct it, then I came by myself, picked up the guide tube and commanded it. As a result, the director is even better than the original director.
Hong Kong's top ten comedy movie stars, Teddy Robin will always occupy a place, and his robin detective series with Lin Zixiang is an immortal classic. Here is a strong recommendation to watch him starring in "Ghost Horse Zhi DuoXing" and "I Love night incense", which is particularly fun, and Lin Zixiang also created a new genre of Hong Kong Ya pi comedy in it.
Not only comedy, Teddy Robin has also acted in love idol movies before, and "The Price of Love" was a well-known masterpiece in the Hong Kong entertainment industry at that time. Playing with Teddy Robin is the famous Hong Kong beauty Qin Ping.
Everyone is now most familiar with Tarzan in "Double Dragon Society" starring Jackie Chan. But what everyone doesn't know is that in the early days of Jackie Chan's career, it was Teddy Robin who took Jackie Chan to shoot his own production film "Double Dragon Society", and Teddy Robin gave a very big help in Jackie Chan's career, although now Jackie Chan is called big brother in the entertainment industry, but in Jackie Chan's heart, his big brother will always have the position of Teddy Robin.
In addition to promoting newcomers in the music industry, Teddy Robin has also promoted many directors. For example, in 2007, Guo Zijian, who re-emerged from the jianghu and co-directed "Journey to the West" with Zhou Xingchi, supervised the production of the first movie "Wild Dog", and last year also helped Guo Zijian's "Wukong Biography" movie soundtrack, and its soundtrack to "Wukong Biography" was called a wonderful highlight in the movie by many film critics. Almost every film directed by Guo Zijian has Teddy Robin involved.
Teddy Robin is also very strong in the film score, and Huang Zhun is called the Xiangjiang Monster, he helped the theme song of the movie "Rogue Goofy" produced by Tan Yonglin's "This World Has Gone Crazy" Heavy metal popular taste, which is not outdated in the 21st century. The soundtrack of Zhou Runfa's classic "Dragon and Tiger Storm" is also him.
There are also the soundtracks of the previous two years' movies "Disappearing Bullets", "Drug War" and "Fight in the Ring" are all from his hands. Even as a singer who debuted in the sixties, Teddy Robin's musical style is not outdated and has always kept pace with the times. The ending song in "Drug War" is called the essence of the unmissable. He has also won the Golden Statue and Golden Horse Awards for Best Film Score.
Teddy Robin played Luo Xin in "The Ring", this role is considered to symbolize the golden age of Hong Kong, his return to the light is the last return of the Afterglow of the Hong Kong film industry, interested can go to see his last line, the martial arts hall into the Hong Kong film industry, is not an instant enlightenment. Teddy Robin played the role appropriately. In the 1960s, the Hong Kong music scene and film industry began to take off, and Teddy Robin traversed for fifty years, witnessing its rise and fall. It can be called a living fossil of the Hong Kong music scene and the film world.
Teddy Robin is a legendary life, and in the past two years, at the age of 70, he is still promoting his descendants. These two years have been produced, starred, or composed on film scores. He has contributed many good products to the film industry, such as Yang Qianwei's "Which Day We Will Fly", Yun Xiang's "Permanent Residence", Mai Wanxin's "Are You Still Cute", "East Wind Broken", and Nicholas Tse's "Firefighting Hero" are all rare films in the film industry.
Returning from the Ghost Gate as a child, he has always despised his reputation. Although he has made many outstanding contributions to the Hong Kong music scene and the film industry, he has promoted many stars. But Teddy Robin has always lived a casual life. However, I have to say that Teddy Robin can still make so much high-quality music at the age of 70, which is indeed very powerful.
He often goes to bars to play and sing, just to live a song addiction, the other day, when I read Weibo, I also saw some netizens photographing Teddy Robin singing in the bar. It can be said that it is very stylish.
Although he has loved rock and roll all his life, I have to say that Teddy Robin's singing ability is still old and spicy when he reaches 70, which is completely different from the inland rock singer's forty voice and a large car accident. If you are interested, you can go to see his videos in recent years.
