Chapter 821 The national entertainment circle of this era
Shengtang has become a giant company in Hong Kong Island. Lin Guodong and Yip Jinsheng have also visited Hong Kong Island twice. Each time, it caused a huge sensation in the local entertainment circle. Mr. Shao, the president of the Artists Association, personally met with many well-known artists.
Even the most famous star was attracted by him. When they met Lin and Ye, they were respectful and hoped that the other party would take them to the United States for development.
Liu Lang has also been paying attention to the entertainment industry in Hong Kong Island. After all, it is the representative of all the "post-80s" youthful years in the mainland.
This year is 1988, and it is also a "turbulent" era for Hong Kong's entertainment industry. Two stars who have become "gods" are in crisis.
Which two celebrities? Of course they are household names. One is Tan Yonglin, who is known as the "principal", and the other is Zhang Guorong, who is known as the "brother".
Even if Liu Lang interferes in this life and Ye Jinsheng joins the Hong Kong entertainment circle with several golden songs, the principal and his brother are still the well-deserved superstars, because their rise was in 1983, when Liu Lang was just
I just entered college and haven’t met Ye Jinsheng yet.
In 1982, a big event occurred in the Hong Kong music scene. TVB began to hold the Top Ten Golden Melody Award Ceremony to select the top ten golden songs of the year; then it added the Golden Melody Award and the Annual Most Popular Male and Female Singer Award.
The most watched selection in Hong Kong was born, which also means that the media has the biggest gimmick to build momentum for the battle of "gods", and fans have the biggest battlefield to "fight" for their idols. The one who won the Golden Melody Award in the past two years is
"headmaster".
At the 1984 Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, the "Fight of the Gods" that the Hong Kong media had been waiting for finally took place: "Brother" won the Golden Melody Award for "Who Resonates", breaking the "Principal"'s objection to this award
A two-year monopoly.
Thus, the epic showdown in the history of Hong Kong pop music, "Tan and Zhang's Battle for Hegemony", was staged.
Thirty years later, many fans will go to any lengths to protect their idols and attack other stars, hiring trolls, spreading rumors, etc., but most of these are concentrated on online media.
The same was true in the 1980s, and even more so. The media dared to write and report anything, and it was full of words like "supposedly" and "rumor".
The biggest news they made was the "principal" "award-buying incident". Of course, this kind of report was not substantiated, but it pushed the "principal" to the forefront and became the target of crusade by Honor fans.
It was these fanatical fans who made the "Tan Zhang Zheng Hegemony" spit and even break out in bloodshed. The way they called for their idols was much crazier than the current keyboard fans. They dared to take to the streets to attack each other.
Pai. Both the "principal" and "brother"'s cars were scratched by each other's fans, and "brother" even received Ming coins.
At the 1984 award ceremony, when "Brother" who broke the monopoly of "Principal" came on stage to sing "Who Resonates", Tan fans could not suppress their dissatisfaction and booed loudly, drowning out "Brother"'s singing.
Lived.
After the award ceremony, a large-scale brawl broke out between fans from both sides. Thousands of Tan fans and Rong fans beat each other to pieces outside the venue. The scene was completely out of control. "Brother" was trapped in the parking lot for six full months.
It took him an hour to escape.
In 1985, the "principal" who was completely annoyed by the "prize buying incident" announced amidst the applause of Tan fans and the boos of Rong fans that he would no longer participate in any music and song competition programs.
Ye Jinsheng went to Hong Kong Island in 1985, so what happened in the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry before 1985 still happened as usual. The "principal" or something announced that he would no longer participate in any music competitions. According to normal historical development, "Brother"
In 1987, he announced his complete retirement from the music scene and left the recording industry.
However, Ye Jinsheng appeared on Hong Kong Island at this time, which caused some changes in the trajectory of historical development in the previous life.
Ye Jinsheng brought twelve songs, such as "Broader Sea and Sky", "New Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies Dream", "Dream Chaser", etc., which are all popular golden songs in later generations. These songs have made Li Tianming, Liu Furong, Wang Fei and other younger generations
Singer shows his talent, plus Ye Jinsheng
The reality show "A Day in the Life of a Star" produced became a hit on Hong Kong Island. Within a year or two, these stars had the potential to become superstars. The "Tan-Lee Controversy" that originally spanned the entire 1980s has been transformed by this new force.
With his intervention, it suddenly fell into silence.
At the Golden Melody Award Ceremony in 1986, Liu Furong's "Broader Sea and Sky" defeated Li Tianming who sang "New Mandarin Ducks and Butterfly Dreams" to win the grand prize. Fans of Liu and Li started to fight again.
Fans of "Principal" and "Brother" have been diverted a lot by the new generation of stars, especially fans of Liu and Li. Originally, "Brother" would have announced his retirement from the music scene in 1987, but now Tan fans have stopped going.
He was looking for bad luck on "brother", so this incident did not happen, and "brother" has a very good relationship with Ye Jinsheng. Liu Lang's song "Love is Always Love in Thousands of Waters and Thousands of Mountains" was sung by him, and "brother" also relied on this
The song won the Best Vocalist Award again in 1987.
"Principal" is very embarrassed now. Of course, he has not quit the music scene and is still singing songs, but he can only watch other singers dominate the award ceremony. His historical status continues to rise. After "Brother" won the best singer last year
, his historical status obviously surpasses him, not to mention his elder brother, even Liu Furong and Lai Tianming's popularity in Hong Kong Island is constantly increasing.
In addition to the two of them, Shaw Brothers is currently promoting a very good singer named Zhang Xueyou. This young man is now a general of Shaw Brothers. After Ye Jinsheng left, all the songs under Jingsheng Culture were handed over to Shaw Brothers.
To promote the release, they gave Zhang Xueyou the songs "Red Sun" and "Men Should Be Strong". With these two cover songs, Xueyou's popularity is gradually expanding.
Liu Furong, Li Tianming, Zhang Xueyou, three of the Four Heavenly Kings have been gathered together, only Aaron Kwok is missing.
In addition to these Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, mainland singers are not far behind. People like Cui Jun who Ye Jinsheng brought from the mainland have declined somewhat after Ye Jinsheng left. However, they have occupied a place in rock music with "Nothing" and "New Long March Road". Although they have become
He may not be an idol, but his reputation as the father of rock and roll cannot escape him.
In addition, in June 1988, Huang Qin, the founder and general manager of Yongsheng Records and a veteran of the Hong Kong record industry, published an album in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia: "The Creation of the World" in the Chinese New Music Series.
The album contains original Chinese pop music that was revised in 1978
Original songs from the period of reform and opening up to 1987, all of Liu Lang's songs are included, as well as "My Chinese Heart", "Toast Song", "Dare to Ask Where is the Road" and other popular songs in the mainland.
They have become the most precious spirit in this raging era.
