The following are some events in the Hong Kong music scene at that time:

History of Music Development in Hong Kong (1)

Cantonese pop music in Hong Kong declined in 1960s due to the invasion of foreign language songs and national songs and the decline of creative talents. At that time, most of the red stars sang English songs (I was still a cell at that time, which I heard, believe it or not). WYNNERS (bands composed of Zhong Zhentao, Alan Tam, Peng Jianxin, Chen You and Danny Yip), who hold up half the sky, basically sing English songs.

Fortunately, the great Samuel Hui (allow me to describe him like this) appeared in the mid-1970s. In the popular movie Ghost and Horse Double Star by the Xu brothers (Xu Guanwen and Jay Chou), Samuel Hui composed two songs, Ghost and Horse Double Star and Double Star Love Song, which were equally popular. The former uses a lot of slang words and is humorous (Xu later made many songs of this style, collectively referred to as "ghost horse songs"); The latter is an affectionate classic love song. For a time, "I am willing to cook two meals, past lives!" I would do anything for two meals, which was really my sin in my last life. ) "Two hearts embrace together, and Wan Li stays lovesick." The development of pop songs in Hong Kong has entered a new stage. While the iron is hot, Samuel Hui has successively produced such acclaimed works as Half a catty, Deed of Sale, Crazy Money and Dream of Genius Idiot, which fully demonstrated his musical talent. The public's welcome to Samuel Hui rose rapidly to that of Cantonese songs.

Gu Jiahui, Li Xiaotian and others have also made great contributions to the rise of Cantonese songs. Their theme songs and TV series, such as Struggle, King of Thousands of Kings, Wild Silkworm Change, and A Life of Lush, have deeply touched the hearts of Hong Kong people through the media of television, and have also become popular singers such as, Guan, Tan, and Jenny.

At the end of 1970s, Cantonese songs could compete with Mandarin and foreign language songs, but there was still a lack of composers, so outstanding poets such as Huang Zhifeng, Lu Guozhan, Zheng Guojiang and Samuel Hui wrote a lot of lyrics with foreign songs. At that time, foreign songs, especially Japanese songs, had very beautiful melodies (recalling the past and present, I especially hate small rooms), and after the creation of masters, they became an important part of Cantonese songs in Hong Kong. Famous singers who sing adapted songs include Paula Tsui, George Lam and Xunni (her "Whenever Things Change" and "Rain in My Hometown" are really memorable! ), Tam (favorite singer Hideki Nishi), and of course, Alan Tam, but he was not satisfied with his own development (WYNNERS was dissolved in 78).

In addition, there are singers who take the folk song route, such as teddy robin, Albert Au and Brenda Lo. Albert Au, dressed as a cowboy and holding a guitar, left a deep impression on me. Every time I listen to his Return to a Stranger and Sparkling Fishing Fire, I feel relaxed and happy.

In the early 1980s, the number of creators, singers and record companies in the Cantonese music scene in Hong Kong increased rapidly, and writers such as Christian Babida, Man Yee Lam, Xu Riqin, Xiang Xue Huai, Lin Zhenqiang and Lin Mincong and singers such as Danny Chan, Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung emerged.

1983- 1992, I call it the golden decade of Hong Kong music.

Attachment: "Double Star Love Song"

Drag a canoe and preach vows to celebrate the spring dawn.

Two hearts are invited, and their shadows are in each other's eyes. I hope seagulls sing happily.

Dating my sister in the hot sun, * * * will never be separated.

The beautiful scenery is intoxicating, the heart is connected, and the green willows and flowers are relatively predestined.

Heart two pull, Wan Li lovesickness!

It seems sad to leave tonight, but I will remember your face facing the flowers tomorrow.

Tears linger in the dream, moonlight shines on the cold pillow alone, drunk and lonely,

I can't help feeling sad, but I feel sorry for my empty account in the middle of the night.

The Last Romantic Special Edition (1)

I remember 1979 "May Day". When I was in the fourth grade, my grandfather bought a black-and-white TV, National 20 ",a tape recorder and four speakers of Sanyo from abroad. At that time, I felt that I was only about 1.3 meters taller than most people. But maybe I was young then. Although I like Hong Kong pop music, I am not addicted to it. Limited by the environment, I can hear very few songs (of course, I will not try my best to collect them). Samuel Hui, George Lam, Adam Cheng, Zhang Delan and Paula Tsui.

SAM (Samuel Hui)' s "Ghost Horse Song" lyrics are wonderful, and my friends and I often sing (we just sing, but the content seems to be incomprehensible). But at that time, I liked Love of Genius and Idiot (later Wang Jie sang a Mandarin version, which seemed to be called Life for Love Dreams or something), Spring Dreams, Impression and Double Star Love Songs. Even now, I don't think there are more than fifty canto pop songs that can surpass these songs.

Lin (George Lam) is an eccentric. He can sing "Water Center" with infinite tenderness (the most unforgettable moment), and the word "most" is simply "crying". ), seeds of love, I need you every minute, or I can shout Genghis Khan, youth craze, YMCA like a madman.

At first, I didn't like many Chinese songs sung by Paula Tsui, such as Selling Tangyuan, Selling Wonton and Enthusiastic Desert. I thought she was stupid. But I quite like her Cantonese songs, life is full of hope, yellow sand and Wan Li, and the road ahead is long ... In a word, cool! The first time I listened to Xiaofeng's Cantonese cassette, I forgot the names of the albums, including Night Wind, Architecture in Late Autumn, Moonlight in My Eyes, Rise of Old Times, etc. Although not famous, I think they are all good songs and unforgettable.

At that time, Adam Cheng was my idol. He had a handsome voice. I like the theme song of his TV series (mostly works by Mr. Gu Jiahui): Chu Liuxiang ("I was born alone, I don't have to send it", cool! ), "Eternal Dragon Slayer" ("Love is like the sky, Wan Li is vast, sorrow is like the sea, and everything is surging"), strong! ), "take turns" ("How much is left, how much warmth is left?" , it hurts! ) ....... Although Zheng's rigidity (rigidity =SB:) is out of date, and I don't catch a cold now, it is undeniable that his interpretation of the theme songs of TV dramas is excellent, and most of them are classic works by Mr. Gu.

I grew up listening to these songs. Later, I got to know Alan Tam from I can't forget you and a wild goose on the horizon, and Danny Chan from Sunflowers and Please Take Care Tonight. There are many more after that. Finally, I found out that I can't live without Cantonese songs for a day in Hong Kong (just like I can't live without computers and my lover for a day now). That's about 1983 and 1984.

History of Music Development in Hong Kong (2)

1982 and 1983, the music scene in Hong Kong was quite prosperous. The Hong Kong Writers Association has many members, including, Huang Zhixiang,,,,, Peter Lee, etc. New members include Lin Minyi, Xu Riqin, Lin Mude, Lin, Xiang Xue Huai, Lu Yongqiang and Poon Wai Yuen. The ranks of singers are also growing. Senior singers, represented by,, Tan, Guan, have established a lofty "Jianghu status"; Alan Tam, Danny Chan, Leslie Cheung and Zhong Zhentao. After several years of rolling, she has become a first-line singer; , Anita Mui, (with cursive prefix, the simplified word should be "money". But people will feel unhappy when they write it, right? Du Wen has great potential and good prospects. Speaking of Lei Anna, her record "Don't Remember Old Dreams" won the championship for nine weeks in a row in the "Chinese Song Challenge Array", which is an unprecedented record. In 83, Priscilla Chan attracted people's attention with a moving song.

At that time, many singers participated in the creation. Samuel Hui, George Lam and Danny Chan appeared as singers. Later, Cai Guoquan and Lu Guanting joined the ranks, and later, Zhou Qisheng and Lun, Anthony also joined. The media has also promoted the development of the local music industry. Several major electronic media have arranged a large number of pop music programs, and all of them have weekly pop charts. The song list includes Radio Television Hong Kong's Chinese Golden Melody Dragon and Tiger List, Commercial Radio 2' s Top Ten Gold List, and Radio's Jade Pure Gold. The record sales list includes Commercial Radio 1' s Chinese Song Challenge Array. And the annual music awards ceremony has also created a higher and higher listening rate. TVB also held the annual "Rookie Singing Contest", and the first champion was Anita Mui. Since then, many famous singers have been "rookies", such as Lv Fang, Alejandro Delfino, Xu Zhian, Liming and Sammi Cheng.

In this environment, a large number of excellent works have been born, such as Alan Tam's Rain, Sorrow, I Can't Forget You, Late Spring, Samuel Hui's I Can't Forget You, Paper Boat and Is it Rain? Are they tears? Please take care of yourself tonight, I just like you, Ripples and the River of Acacia, The Wind keeps blowing, One Step Forward This Night (I hope I remember correctly), Legend of the Galaxy, Helplessness and Question of the Stars. ) Teresa Teng's "Walking the Road of Life" recorded in Cantonese ...

84 was the time when the younger generation of singers "seized power" in an all-round way. Alan Tam's two classic records "Love in the Mist" and "The Root of Love" both hit amazing sales, and all the tickets for 20 concerts were sold out, becoming the first singer who was widely expected; The success of Leslie Cheung's "Monica" made him top the idol list in one fell swoop; 1983 After Anita Mui's Red Anita Mui became popular, 1984 went forward. Danny Chan's 100 Top 84 changed the way of singing and sang many fast songs. People are not left behind, but have a soft spot for a few slow songs. Nevertheless, he is still a popular super idol. On the other hand, the old-timers are not so ideal. Famous for singing the theme songs of TV series, Tan,, and Guan also declined rapidly with the trend of the times. Samuel Hui and Paula Tsui are also losing momentum, but their records are absolutely excellent, and almost every song is worth remembering again and again. Jenny Tseng also won the Best Female Singer Award at several awards ceremonies because of the bestselling of Loneliness, which is undoubtedly her last glory. Looking back now, only Aram (George Ram) gained a firm foothold and continued to be popular for many years. It is a natural trend that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead.

This year is a good song year. Most of Alan Tam's two records are representative works: Pride, Red Light, Love body double, Love in Fog, Beauty at Midnight, Phantom, Creating Destiny, The Root of Love, A Cold Summer Wind, Love in the City, Love in Late Autumn, Who Can Change, etc. Sam's record "New Beginnings" includes such good songs as "New Beginnings", "Traveler in the Wind", "Father's Piano" and "Bauhinia". Paula Tsui is also a very good album, which includes Love Than Rain, Telephone, Wan Li Galaxy, Wind Road and so on. Danny Chan's "Star Picking" is impassioned and is the most memorable anti-drug song. I also sang "Painting Rainbow" (later, when I was in a coma and hospitalized, fans played this song outside the hospital, but unfortunately …) and "Journey". Also, Jenny Tseng's Loneliness Again, Dream rickshaw, Meeting in Lin Zhimei, Don't be sad in George Lam, Priscilla Chan's tender feelings and dreams, Love in the glass window, Love that can't stop by Lei Anna/Peng Jianxin and so on.

The Last Romantic Special Edition (2)

I started listening to Radio Television Hong Kong in 78, but I listened to the news a few years ago (how was the PLA playing in Vietnam? ), listen to a few radio dramas (funny "1Block C on the 8th floor" ...), and seldom listen to others. It was about 82 years later that I began to listen to the "China Song Challenge" hosted by "Broadcast Prince" Feng. Feng also sang songs, two of which were quite nice. One is called "The Wind Flying", and later Lin Mincong rewrote the lyrics and became Peng Jianxin's "The Voice"; I forgot the name of another song, which was sung with Xunni: "Destiny takes a hand, it's hard to force, (some words I forgot are omitted here). One drink is not enough, one drink is worth a thousand. It's enough to erase the past love, don't feel guilty anymore. Bless your future forever and fight with you again! " I almost forgot the lyrics of two songs, and I don't know which master can find them. ) Feng also wrote a song, and his "Two Cramming for the Buddha" was written by him.

Shit, this is getting farther and farther. With the increasing interest in canto pop, I like Chinese Song Challenge Array more and more. Later, I put a tape on the tape recorder and recorded the songs of Xu, Tan, Zheng and Chen as soon as we met. Of course, sometimes even Feng's voice is recorded. I remember this passage best: "(Feng) has often heard someone shouting in the street recently:' Grab something!'" "(Xu)' Stealer, be careful of him! ……'"

As for good tapes, we also like "diskcopy": two tape recorders face to face, one plays and the other records. The effect can be imagined, but we still listened with relish. Danny Chan's Please Pay Attention Tonight was heard by more people in 1982 and 1983. The master tape was bought by my cousin in Shenzhen. On the cover, Danny is wearing a pink sportswear and a black watch. He is very handsome and full of energy ... The songs in it are also very nice, such as Take care tonight, Blast, Lonely Goose and Stay with me for a long time. Because my tape was so bad, it broke down in less than half a year. When I found another one going to diskcopy, my cousin told me that the tape had been lost. ...

Danny Chan, Alan Tam and others listened to many songs, and Adam Cheng's position in my mind gradually declined. After the burning of Yuanmingyuan, there are fewer and fewer good songs. 1984 The song "Strong Song Adam Cheng" has no vitality at all. The title song "Fishing Lang" was arranged by Poon Wai Yuen: "Let me open the screen and throw it on the waves, fish in the sea and never return to my hometown …" Now I think of it with goose bumps; Another "meteor stream" reminds people of "Scorpio-Legend of the Galaxy", but it is far from it. When Tan and Zhang rose, their idols collapsed in my heart.

1984, Alan Tam era began. The first time I saw Aaron's tearful singing of Love in the Fog (a radio advertisement), I was shocked to hear him screaming emptiness under the sky next to the meteorite. In fact, at that time, more than 70% of my class were fans of Aaron, and they dared to perform the concert "Love in Late Autumn" in the afternoon self-study class. Most of Aaron's Roots of Love are adapted songs, which is a reflection of the weak strength of local originality. Things are better in a muddled relationship. Besides Allen's self-made Pride and Man Yee Lam's Phantom, it also includes the works of three creative singers: Cai Guoquan (red light), Zhou Qisheng (midnight beauty) and Lu Guanting (love is so sweet).

Speaking of Lu Guanting, the first time I heard his song was Birds of Paradise. Strange lyrics and sounds made me wonder if he was a fool (I finally got used to it). Later, he actually wrote many wonderful works, worthy of being a master.

History of Music Development in Hong Kong (3)

1985 1 month, Alan Tam swept away many awards at the main award ceremony, including the well-deserved best male singer award. At the same time, another classic record "Love Trap" caused crazy dumping, and won the championship in China Song Challenge Array for seven weeks in a row, with sales exceeding seven platinum (350,000 copies). Just when he was at his best, Leslie Cheung quietly stepped up the pace of catching up, and the elaborate "Only for Your Heart" was released with Leslie Cheung's first solo. The response was enthusiastic and it became the hottest record this summer, with sales exceeding 250,000 copies. 1984, it was predicted that 1985 the Hong Kong music scene would become the world of Leslie Cheung. Although it didn't come true, Leslie Cheung has undoubtedly become Alan Tam's strongest rival.

Just when Tan and Zhang covered half the sky with their hands, their respective "Harmony" and "Huaxing" successively launched the Xinli Army-the champion of the first "Nineteen District Singing Contest" Jacky Cheung and the champion of the second "Rookie Singing Contest". Jacky Cheung's first song when she met her fans was "Smile Again, Maria", which received rave reviews. Her first solo album was called "Smile". Jacky Cheung's magnetic voice conquered the fans, and the record stayed in "Chinese Song Challenge Array" for more than 20 weeks, exceeding the sales of three platinum (if Jacky Cheung thinks about his debut record now, I wonder if he will be ashamed of it today? )! And "Huaxing" spared no expense to make a transparent album for Lv Fang, who made her debut record. Lv Fang lived up to expectations and became the sales champion in the first week. The outstanding newcomer that year was Sandy Lam of CBS Sony, who appeared as a "Japanese girl" and the most popular song was Love I Don't Know. Andy Lau, a movie star, made her debut with a song "I only know I love you now".

At the time of the rise of new music forces, many singers' stars are sinking (including Lei Anna, who has also become a withered epiphyllum), but many well-known singers still show great strength. At the beginning of the year, Danny Chan released a selected album with "Waiting" as the title song, and "Danny Chan-Love You Most" during the summer vacation was also very popular; George Lam's collection of songs composed by George Lam sold well from the end of 1984 to the beginning of 1985, among which there were many excellent works, and later he established his status as a master of string-burning songs with Twelve Inches. "Down the River" was written by Cai Guoquan. It goes without saying that it is another classic song of Xifeng. Samuel Hui's The Most Important Fun was also a high-quality record of that year.

Anita Mui began her "variety show" in 85. At the beginning of the year, Anita Mui's coat was a masculine image of a suit coat with short hair and sunglasses, but in the middle of the year, it became a "bad girl" with powder, causing an uproar. But Anita quickly expanded the number of fans and successfully became the new queen of Hong Kong music.

85 was also the most successful year in Cai Guoquan. He not only wrote many songs for others, but also released three records: Love Your Life, Selected Works of Cai Guoquan and Warm Current in the Wind. Among them, "Selected Cai Guoquan" is a "platinum record", which can be called Cai's best record.

Singers Zhou Qisheng and Lun, Anthony released their solo album Zhou Qisheng 23 (23 years old? ) performed well, ranking in the top three in the "Chinese Song Challenge Array", but Lun, Anthony was not ideal. Another singer-songwriter Alvin Kwok brought us an unforgettable song "Never Know". Alan Tam's Goddess of the Storm was disappointing when it was released at the end of the year. Apart from Friends, few other songs have survived to this day.

85 years has brought a lot of excitement to Cantonese fans in Hong Kong. Just look at these songs: Alan Tam's love trap (? ), lucky star, fire beauty, love (always fascinated), where are you at the moment, romance and friends on rainy nights; Leslie Cheung's unrestrained wind, the first time, I did it, just for your heart, the girl's heart; Danny Chan's waiting, deeply in love with you, the fate of hope, love rehearsal, you and I, never ask the truth; George Lam's "Who Can Understand Me", 10.12 inches every night; Paula Tsui went downstream, went upstream, and rushed in, offering a thousand tribute songs; Starry night in Samuel Hui, the most important pleasure, diary in my heart, Japanese doll, Manzhu Shakespeare in Anita Mui, time flies like water; Jacky Cheung's "Touching Face" and "Love It"; Lv Fang's "inaudible speech" and "You make me happy"; Also, Priscilla Chan's "Flower Shop"; Lin Zhimei's Piano on a Rainy Night; Xia Shaosheng's empty stool; Night in Sally Yeh, good night, my love; Julie's Who Can Be Depended on; Alvin Kwok will never know. ...

1984 and 1985, Hong Kong pop music was very popular in Guangzhou. Many of my classmates bought genuine tapes or records in Hong Kong through relatives and friends. But because of lack of money and poor family, I only bought a few D versions to listen to. Although there are not many stocks, I still pay attention to the songwriters. There are always too few original works in Hong Kong, so most of them are adapted songs. Good foreign language songs often have two Cantonese versions, such as Unintentional Express, which has three Cantonese versions: Unintentional Express by Cai Guoquan (lyrics of Cai Guoquan), Hug in Dream by Anita Mui (lyrics of Zheng Guojiang), and Sleeping (lyrics of Lin Zhenqiang) by Jenny Tseng.

Among the Hong Kong composers, I like Man Yee Lam best. Her works are often filled with a melancholy and romantic atmosphere, such as Colorful Clouds (Lei Anna), Phantom (Alan Tam), and 1985 Danny Chan's Eternal Love (the light of stars, the starlight of crystals, stays in your eyes ...), Samuel Hui's Long Night and Priscilla Chan's Flower Shop, etc. The first time I listened to "Flower Shop", it was a song floating from afar, which made me stand for a long time. From then on, I really like Priscilla Chan's songs. ) 1985, she also wrote another song, some exciting works, such as Julie's Who Can Depend, and Xia Shaosheng's Empty Stool. The former is the theme song of Jackie Chan's movie "Long Zhixin", and the climax part ("tenderness is still like the eternal sea breeze, and it will bear the pain of contradiction when leaving. Who can live together for a lifetime, even at the expense of their own future! " ) it's quite difficult. Fortunately, Julie can still carry it (a junior in my middle school dared to sing this song at the cultural performance, which attracted a mocking applause). The latter is the Hong Kong champion of the Asia-Pacific Pop Song Creation Competition, which is a work in memory of his father. Xia Shaosheng sang the lyrics written by Lin Zhenqiang in a slightly hoarse voice: "I was too lazy to say I love him, but I once said that I am the most important. Today, I found that I love him the most, and I will love him forever. There was only an empty stool when I shouted! " Let the listener have a sense of disappointment.

The composer of Love Trap is Japanese Hiroaki Hiraoka Kanazawa. In the same record, he also released a good song "Where are you at the moment". At the end of the year, Alan Tam's Lorelei, the Goddess of Storm, almost became a collection of Jin Zehong's works. This time, his performance is very poor, and most of his songs are terrible. However, the most unbearable song is the cold in winter, and it is always "oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh". The composer is the most popular Korean singer Zhao Rongbi, and the lyricist is the most popular Hong Kong singer Alan Tam.

1984, Lin Mincong filled love in Love in Fog, Roots of Love and Love in Late Autumn. 1985, he showed a playful nature. Forget about Jacky Cheung's cross. There are two sentences: "Get in the taxi and hang your head and play with your big nose". 1985, there are quite a few songs with funny elements. Samuel Hui has "the most important pleasure" and "Japanese dolls". The latter is surprisingly reminiscent of his old work "The Pursuit of Trilogy": first meet, then take the girl around, but when they think they are successful, they are driven away by the girl's parents. This work reflects that Xu's talent has begun to dry up. George Lam, on the other hand, has Wu Ya Po and 10 twelve inches. Wu Ya Bo is a kind of address for an ugly woman. Aram tells us that only when a man finds a wife can he get real care and consideration, and everything will be fine. Never go to Miss Jiao Jiao!

"Twelve Inches" is the best skewer song in Hong Kong, and only Aram's unrestrained performance can be incisive. This song later became his wife Sally Yeh's "200 Degrees", and many famous works were strung together. When singing Monica, Alam sang "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Leslie Cheung, who can replace you!" It makes people laugh. Samuel Hui later strung most of his works into a song "Full of Weight", but the momentum was far from perfect.

In 1985, the competition between Tan and Zhang was fierce, but in my opinion, our songs were far behind Tan in creation, arrangement and producer. I believe that as long as he is in Huaxing, it is impossible to surpass Tan.

The appearance of Jacky Cheung and Lv Fang surprised me. Their songs were as flashy and intoxicating as their appearance. Of these two people, I like Zhang better. As we all know, he got better grades later. However, Lv Fang's first record was also quite good. On the cover, Lv Fang's shirt and tie are neat and beautiful, holding some manuscript paper in his hand and staring into the distance through the floor-to-ceiling glass (Lun, Anthony said many years later: I think the funniest thing is that Lu Fang plays the handsome guy on the first record jacket). My favorite record is You Make Me Happy, especially after watching the ending of the TV series Brother Xinzha. Tony Leung Chiu Wai met Maggie Cheung who was about to break up in the street and invited her to a coffee shop. They looked at each other silently, but still fell in love but hesitated, so they sat like sculptures, and then there was a touching prelude to You Make Me Happy. The whole play is in Lv Fang.
